Chapter 6: Life in the Corps (1)

After the educated youths arrived at the station, they were immediately gathered at the brigade headquarters for a meeting, and the host of the meeting was the company instructor, a capable girl with short hair with full ears. Later, the big guy found out that her name was Huang Yaju. The meeting lasted for more than an hour, and then it was time to arrange meals and accommodation. Due to the lack of housing in the station, the vast majority of educated youths can only temporarily live in cold and damp warehouses.

The educated youths have all been assigned to each squad platoon, and the squad and platoon cadres are the original business backbones of the company. Guo Jiefang, Niu Jianjun, and Li Yuanchao were assigned to the same platoon, and Liu Lili was transferred to the brigade headquarters, which aroused the envy of many educated youths.

It's the middle of winter, and everything is sluggish, so it's a good time to cut down trees and build houses. Considering that the snowstorm was coming, the company immediately decided: mobilize the vast number of intellectual youths to solve the housing problem in a more quickly, better, and more economical way.

In the following more than a month, under the leadership of the bearded company commander and the instructor, the educated youths fought the severe cold, wind and snow, cut down trees and built houses from the nearby mountains and forests, and finally basically solved the housing problem of the educated youths before the heavy snow closed the mountains.

On this day, as soon as the sky was bright, Guo Jiefang walked out of the door and saw Lao Liang Touer leading four horses to the river to drink. The bottom of the horse hung his head and gulped down water in the river. Satin lips covered with sparkling droplets. The four horses snorted happily······ Their bodies were sweaty, shining like gold in the sun. On the other side of the river is a large field of reeds, swaying in the mountain breeze!

From among the reeds, from time to time, a wild duck flew up, screaming and flying north······ Guo Jiefang pointed to the wild ducks flying in mid-air, and shouted excitedly: "Look! Wild duck ······".

The old Liang Tou smiled generously, and in the log flute field in the distance, there was also a loud and sonorous sound at this time: "Ha waist hanging······ Hey······ Straighten up······ Hey Yo ······! ”。

Because Su Xiu's heart did not die, he set up millions of soldiers on the border of our country. The international situation is turbulent and the border confrontation has further intensified. The whole country is ready to fight an early and large-scale nuclear war, and Chairman M has also issued a timely call to the whole army to "not be old soldiers", and the whole army has risen up in camping and training!

The leaders of the Corps judged the hour and sized up the situation and decided to launch a month-long large-scale winter military training activity, and all divisions and regiments of the Corps threw themselves into the military training in full swing with practical actions.

Although Guo Jiefang's company is located in a remote area, it is not immune. They climbed ice and snow during the day and intensified their political studies at night.

At noon break that day, the educated youths had just finished eating, sweating profusely and smoking together. Niu Jianjun lit a cigarette and complained to Guo Jiefang: "In my life, Lao Tzu's life will be ruined by listening to your kid's fool and coming to this broken place where birds don't······ It's okay now, the battle hasn't been fought, and people are tired like a third grandson! ”。

He put the cigarette in the corner of his mouth, wrinkled his eyes red from the smoke, spread out his hands, and showed Guo Jiefang: "Look at my hands!" I don't know how many times the blisters have worn out, ······I said Commander Guo, I don't think we can stay here anymore, if we stay any longer, we will not be exhausted, but we will also be frozen to death! ”。

Li Yuanchao didn't smoke, so he leaned over and asked Niu Jianjun, "Where can we go if we are not here?" Didn't you listen to the bearded company commander? There are hundreds of miles of primeval forest here, and there are no human beings, do you still want to run to the big nose? ”。

Niu Jianjun smacked his mouth, took a deep breath of cigarette and said, "Can a living person suffocate urine to death?" We can go downstream along the river, and we will definitely find the small station, and if we find the station, it will be much easier to go down······! ”。

Guo Jiefang interjected to persuade Niu Jianjun and said: "Don't think about it, you kid, even if you can go out, you can't be sent back if you run home?" I'll find an opportunity to ask the company commander in the past two days to see if I can transfer our brothers to the hunting team, and our brothers and sisters in the province will suffer here······ ”。

Niu Jianjun's eyes lit up, and he got up from the ground and said, "That's a good dare!" Commander Guo, it's still your kid who is scheming! It would be great if I could be transferred to the hunting team! ”。

Li Yuanchao took off his glasses, sighed, wiped the glass lenses with the placket of his clothes, and said, "Lao Guo, do you think we can really fight with the big nose?" I've seen it these days, and the wind is pretty tight······ If you can't get it, you're really going to fight! ”。

Niu Jianjun disagreed, and even said with some eagerness: "Let's fight if we fight!" Are we still afraid of them? Don't look at the big nose as if it is very powerful, in fact, he is like a Yankee, he is a paper tiger, and he can break it when he stabs it······ I don't believe it, a country as big as ours and a population of so many people can't beat him? What international jokes? Here, I dare to say responsibly that the fiasco of the United States in Korea is the end of today's Soviet revisionists······! ”。

Niu Jianjun improvised a speech full of enthusiasm against the U.S. imperialist Soviet revision, which won the applause of many educated youths. Niu Jianjun stood up triumphantly, waved his hand to everyone, signaling everyone to be quiet, he wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly heard the sharp whistle of the emergency assembly······! ”。

A few days later, the three of them were indeed seconded to the hunting team, and although the work in the hunting team was not as boring, it was not as easy as imagined.

There were only seven members in the team, divided into three groups, and they went into the mountains to hunt separately every day. Sometimes, in order to track a prey, it is often necessary to wander around in the mountains and forests for three to five days before it can come out! A few days ago, there was another heavy snowfall in the mountains, and it became even more difficult to get into the mountains!

Lao Liang knew that Guo Jiefang and them were all raw melons and eggs, and he was afraid that they would make something happen in the mountains, and he would not be able to explain it himself, so he simply left them all by his side, and did not go to the mountains every day, but just walked around the station!

On this day, Lao Liang couldn't bear the soft grinding and hard bubbles of the three of them, and finally agreed to go a little farther away and beat a wild wolf to make a wolf skin mattress. The three of them stayed awake all night excited about this!

The next morning, they were ready to stop and come to the old Liang Tou, but the old Liang Tou ordered them to take turns carrying a broken table with a hole in the surface! The three of them carried the table all the way, wondering all the way, thinking: "Why do you carry a table without hunting rifles and sticks to fight wolves?" Do you still want to reason with the wolf with facts? Can the wolf take off its fur on its own? ”。

But the three of them didn't dare to ask more, for fear of showing timidity, but with such a big table on their backs, it didn't feel good? So Guo Jiefang asked Lao Liang in a roundabout way: "Uncle Liang, where are you leading us to?" Look at the two of us, and we still have a table on our backs······ We can't carry it far away, ······! ”。

Niu Jianjun also echoed in the back and said: "Lao Guo is right······ This hunting is hunting, why do you still carry a broken table on your back? Could it be that you can catch a wolf with this table? ”。

Old Liang Tou'er carried a shotgun on his back, walked in the head, heard the two complaining, turned his head and said, "What do you two boys know?" Do you believe it or not? With this table, I can capture a wolf alive! ”。

Li Yuanchao didn't believe it, stuck out his tongue, and said in an allegro tone: "Old Liang, fool around!" Set a trap with a table······ Set a trap······ When the wolf comes, it's terrible, it's terrible······! ”。

Old Liang Tou'er narrowed his eyes and smiled, the newborn morning sun, the warmth of his face across the ravines, red, around the four people, there was a quiet, only their own footsteps, echoing in this empty old woods!

The ground and trees were covered with thick snow, and the sun shone on it, reflecting a pink glow!

Old Liang twisted his eyebrows confidently and said, "Don't believe it! I'm going to open your eyes today······ Just use this broken table to catch a live wolf, so that you can see ······ for a long time! ”。

Old Liang Tou did what he said, and when the four of them walked to the old turtle peak, they finally found the wolf's footprints. Lao Liang was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Niu Jianjun to put down the table, and asked the three of them to dig a snow nest in place, just the size of one person. He himself took out a whole roast chicken from his arms······ When the three of them saw the roast chicken, they couldn't help but salivate, and deliberately asked Lao Liang Tou'er, where did he get the roast chicken?

Seeing that the three of them looked like starving ghosts, Lao Liang hurriedly picked up the roast chicken again and said, "This is not for you······ This is the ······ left for the wolf! ”。

Old Liang Tou'er sprinkled some chicken intestines and chicken feathers near the snow nest, and then ordered Guo Jiefang and the three of them to hide in the woods, and don't come out without his code!

When the three of them entered the woods, Lao Liang jumped into the snow nest and buckled the table to the top of the snow nest with his backhand!

Guo Jiefang and the three of them were lying in the woods, their eyes staring at the snow nest, not knowing what the hell the old Liang Tou was doing. After waiting for a long time, he didn't see any movement around, Niu Jianjun was impatient, he twisted his body, and whispered to Guo Jiefang: "I said Lao Guo, how long have we been waiting, why is there no movement at all?" We won't run in vain today! ”。

Li Yuanchao snorted the heat, warmed his hands, shivered and said, "It's so cold······ If the wolf doesn't come again, I'm going to freeze ······!" ”。

Niu Jianjun looked at the sky and said, "Seeing that the sky is about to get dark, if you don't leave now······ We're going to touch the darkness and go back ······."

Suddenly, Guo Jiefang turned around and made a silent gesture to the two, lowered his voice and said, "Attention!" It seems that there is a situation······! ”。 When Niu Jianjun and Li Yuanchao heard this, their spirits were shocked, and they hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Where is it?" ”。

Guo Jiefang pointed to the woods opposite and whispered, "There is a dark shadow in the woods······!" ”。

Niu Jianjun and Li Yuanchao hurriedly contemplated, looked into the woods opposite, and sure enough, they found a black shadow, looking at them from a distance!

Due to the late weather, insufficient light, and too far away, no one could see clearly what that dark shadow was!

At this time, the palms of the three people were full of cold sweat, for fear that one of them would accidentally scare away the prey that they had been waiting for! The black shadow seemed to sense the danger as well, and it circled back and forth around the snow nest, sniffing here and smelling there, but it refused to approach the snow nest!

The three of them were so anxious that they couldn't wait to jump out and drive their prey into the trap ······! At this moment, a bright moon rose to mid-air, like the silver glow of water, scattered all over the earth, the snow on the ground and the bright moon in the sky, reflecting each other, reflecting the pure white ······ of the heavens and the earth!

Under the reflection of the snow, the three of them finally saw the true face of the comer, and it turned out that what they had been waiting for for was indeed a wild wolf!

Niu Jianjun gently poked Guo Jiefang with his elbow, and whispered: "Old Guo, this old Liang boss really has two brushes······ You see, he's really got the wolf! ”。

Li Yuanchao wiped his nose, rubbed his hands and said, "What kind of ability is this?" But whoever can give up his one hundred and eighty pounds can lure the wolf out······ From now on, it depends on whether Lao Liang has the real ability to capture this wolf alive ······! ”。
