Early the next morning, I was woken up by the familiar and long-lost whistle, and I felt that I was really back, but somehow, for a whole day, everyone I met in the base, including Zeng Yongjiang, was full of sadness and listlessness, and one by one completely lost the energy to talk and laugh at dinner last night.

I wanted to ask, but people deliberately avoided me, either silently or turned around and left, but Li Xiao and Miss Zeng disappeared for a whole day.

At lunchtime, the second master shouted angrily in the cafeteria: "It's the opposite!" It's the other way around! Look at this chicken, how much salt is put in it, you want to kill your second master, and the kitchen rebels."

I frowned and ate the green vegetables without any salt, and thought: No, something must have happened at the base, Li Xiao and they suddenly disappeared, could it be that the last Huazi incident happened again?

After staying up in suspicion for a day, Li Xiao suddenly announced the meeting in the evening, and when I arrived at the conference room, Zeng Yongjiang's father and daughter and Li Xiao sat in the conference room early and waited for us.

After we sat down, Li Xiao took out a document, raised it in his hand, and said: "By the order of Shangfeng, the Fenglei Group and the entire base will all move to Shapingba, Chongqing on the 26th of this month. ”

After he finished reading, I couldn't help but feel angry in my heart, why am I and the second master the last to know, and the base chef is qualified to know before us? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask Li Xiao: "When did this document arrive?"

Li Xiao said coldly: "When I had dinner last night."

I stared at him and asked, "Isn't it a bit too deceitful?"

Li Xiao looked at me condescendingly: "What do you mean"?

"What do you mean?" Even the kitchen knows, why did you notify us now? ”

The second master, who had been sitting there with an ignorant face, suddenly reacted when he heard my words, and called: "Okay, I said why is the food in the canteen made like that at noon, you say!" surnamed Li, why did our masters know in the end, you took advantage of the fact that the head of the regiment was not plotting against you, you said, what kind of heart do you have? ”

After Li Xiao was attacked by our cannons, she actually looked at Miss Zeng without saying a word, although Miss Zeng lowered her head, she could still see a red.

The second master and I immediately looked at Miss Zeng curiously, and Zeng Yongjiang on the side called out in a commanding tone: "Zeng Rourou!" ”

Miss Zeng got up and stood upright, looked at me and lowered her head again, and whispered: "After our call class received the order last night, I inadvertently told Zhang Xiaoling in the same class, but I didn't expect that she told Li Yunhe from the guard class that night, and the whole base knew about it this morning, I know that this is a serious leak, please rule on the superior." ”

What surprised me was that I was not shocked when I heard this, but felt that it seemed impossible to let Miss Zeng keep it secret, and what was even more interesting was that the focus of the second master's attention was not the leak itself, but the relationship between Zhang Xiaoling and Li Yunhe.

Li Xiao shook her head helplessly, gently tapped the table with her fingers, coughed dryly and said, "The specific situation is still to wait for the head of Zeng to come back, report to Shangfeng and then make a decision, and dismiss the meeting." ”

At this point, what was supposed to be a matter of righteous indignation ended dramatically.

After the meeting, the second master and I sat on the stone bench in front of the dormitory door with nothing to do and smoked, and suddenly someone called me behind me, and I didn't need to look back to know that it was Miss Zeng, the second master turned around and said hello, turned around and winked at me, and hid in the house with interest.

Miss Zeng sat next to me, tilted her head sideways, and asked me with a pair of big eyes, "You're not angry, are you?"

I was stunned, shook my head and said, "Whatever I'm angry about, it's the same for me wherever I go, I always follow orders." ”

Miss Zeng nodded thoughtfully and said, "I'm asking about my leak." ”

I was dazzled by this, I didn't know what she meant, I took a puff of cigarette, and said slowly: "How can I be angry, my second master and I were just at Li Xiao, not at you, but the leak is big or small, what should you do?" ”

She seemed to be very happy when she heard me ask her what to do, stood up, jumped up and said as she walked: "It's a big deal, take off your military uniform, what's the big deal, don't worry, even if you take off your military uniform, what you promised will be done." After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

I held my cigarette and stared blankly at her back, feeling that I was thinking too much.

Zeng Weiguo is the base of the 24th, at this time most of the non-important peripheral departments in the base have been withdrawn, in secret reasons, all the evacuation operations are carried out at night, usually sleep at night, the next day less people, now in addition to the kitchen, communications, a small number of guards, there is only our action group, the night before even the quartermaster was withdrawn, the second master also joked, don't change the sky at night, otherwise you can only burn the door panel.

As soon as Zeng Weiguo came back, he had an overnight meeting with Zeng Yongjiang and Li Xiao, and the next morning, all of us were notified to gather in the canteen.

At the front of the crowd, three tables were placed side by side as the rostrum, Zeng Weiguo was in the center, Li Xiao and Zeng Yongjiang sat on the left and right, I felt that the atmosphere was quite tense as soon as I entered the room, Zhang Xiaoling and Li Yunhe were tied up under the rostrum, and Zeng Rourou stood next to him, and everyone in the guard company was loaded with guns and ammunition, standing on both sides of the rostrum with horizontal eyebrows.

Zhang Xiaoling sobbed in shock, Li Yunhe bit his lip tightly, and their faces were like white paper.

From Zeng Weiguo's gloomy faces and black eyes, I knew that they hadn't slept all night, seeing that the personnel had arrived, Zeng Weiguo nodded at Li Xiao, Li Xiao stood up, held a red-headed document and read aloud: "On the 14th of this month, there was a serious leak of secrets in the base, and the main culprit, Zhang Xiaoling, as a member of the communication team, was well aware of the confidentiality regulations, but deliberately listened to and disseminated confidential documents. As a member of the base guard company, the main culprit Li Yunhe was also well aware of the secrecy regulations, and was also guilty of snooping and disseminating confidential documents.

Zhang Xiaoling fainted on the spot, the two guards next to her didn't pay attention to her at all, and dragged her out one by one, Li Yunhe was dragged by others, and stared at Zeng Yongjiang on the rostrum with a frightened and angry expression, Zeng Yongjiang also stared at him with a fearless expression, until Li Yunhe was dragged out of the door.

In the whole process, except for the sound of the guards dragging people, no other sound was heard, and the moment people were dragged out of the door, only the sound of desperately restrained breathing could be heard in the hall.

Li Xiao looked around and continued: "Zeng Rourou, as the leader of the communication squad, was ineffective in discipline and was mainly jointly and severally responsible, and the superiors decided to demote three levels in a row and deduct half a year's military salary,"

Zeng Rourou stood up and saluted the rostrum, the hall was still silent, Zeng Weiguo stood up and said to the audience: "Everyone hurry up and go back to clean up, and leave on time at 12 o'clock tonight!" ”

After everyone watched the three people on the rostrum leave, they dispersed one after another, Zeng Rourou turned around in front and wanted to find me in the crowd, I quickly hid behind the second master, blended into the crowd, and squeezed out of the canteen.

As soon as they arrived at the door of the cafeteria, there was a crisp gunshot at the foot of the mountain in the distance, and before they could react, it was followed by another sound, and everyone stood in place for a few seconds, and then continued to walk back as if someone had pressed the switch.

I didn't have anything to pack, I didn't need to bring the futon with me, I went back to the dormitory and sat on the bed and looked at the shriveled backpack with only a few toiletries, the second master came over, put the same shriveled backpack and mine together, and smiled bitterly at me.

I felt that something was blocked in my heart, and it was uncomfortable to hold up and down, the second master saw through my thoughts, sat beside me, took out a cigarette and handed it to me, patted me on the shoulder, just opened his mouth, Zeng Rourou suddenly appeared at the door, gave the second master a look, the second master looked at me, looked at her, stood up helplessly and shook his head and went out.

Zeng Rourou leaned against the door frame and asked, "You want me to be shot, right?" ”

I was taken aback by her words, and looked at her with surprised eyes, and the two looked at each other, and I found that her eyes were full of tears, and she wanted to open her mouth to defend something, but she turned around and covered her mouth and ran away.

The second master didn't go far, but when he saw Zeng Rourou crying and running away, he entered the house and asked me, "What did you say?" ”

I shook my head, and the second master sighed and sat next to me and said, "There are three most unreasonable animals in the world, the first is an official, the second is a woman, and the third is too scary, you know what?" ”

I thought about it and shook my head, the second master stared at me and said, "A woman who is an official"!

I was stunned for a few seconds, and then smiled bitterly with the second master.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, we got into the truck on time and went straight to the train station, where a military train with more than a dozen carriages was already parked on the tracks with steam, and we were arranged into the soft-packed carriages along with all the commanders of the base.

Zeng Rourou was alone, as soon as she got in the car, she locked herself in it, and never came out, I passed by many times under the pretext of going to the toilet, and several times I had stretched out my hand to knock on the door, but there seemed to be electricity on the door, and my fingers had just been touched and were electrocuted back.

Zeng Weiguo and Li Xiao were two stuffy jars, and as soon as they got in the car, they didn't say a word except for reading, and the second master also closed his eyes uncharacteristically and recuperated, leaving me in and out by myself, looking restless.

The train first rushed through the mountains and valleys, and at dawn there were endless terraced rice fields outside, and at noon it plunged headlong into the Bashu mountains.

I couldn't sit still all day, I just felt angry and helpless about Zeng Weiguo's unfair verdict, I didn't associate it with Zeng Rourou's life and death at all, I couldn't help but feel irritable when I thought about it, why did I care so much about her feelings? Do I really like her or am I afraid that she won't help me track down Li Wanshan anymore?

I don't want to be the latter, in that case, I am even more cruel than Zeng Weiguo and them, more vicious than the Japanese, but I can't use my liking to extricate myself, after all, the person who played the flute has just been buried on the sunny hillside, and the flute is like Li Yunhe's eyes when he was dragged out, like a thorn, lying in my heart and lingering in my mind.
