Chapter 15: Departure

I hurriedly asked, "Do these pictures say how to get out?" Old man Song shook his head: "It only said that the altar had just been completed, and Miao Qiang, the king of Dian, had returned to the west."

I scolded with some disappointment: "I deserve to be fucked, this kind of perverted scum is still alive, it's not too much to shoot 800 times, and if you die, you won't leave us a way to live."

Old man Song also shook his head helplessly, and Da Dongbei suddenly said at this time: "Squad leader, something is approaching us"

I and the little stammerer immediately became alert, through the light of the blue lantern to see the entrance of the hole, a group of black lobsters holding huge tongs are rapidly approaching the altar, the old man Song saw that his legs were frightened, and knelt on the ground, I grabbed his back collar and dragged it back, three people with a gun in one hand and a flashlight in the other hand stared at the end of the steps, the sound of the lobster crawling was getting closer and closer, and we were pushing farther and farther.

Until there was no way back, I looked back and forgot to glance at the back of the altar, where a huge pool of water was seeping water little by little, and the water flowed around both sides of the altar and gathered together under the steps, and just as I was amazed in my heart, the 'vampire lobster' had already reached the altar.

After explaining the situation to them, he raised his gun and fired a few, but because there were too many of them, as soon as he finished speaking, he ran out of bullets, and the little stammerer pulled the old man Song and jumped into the pool first, and then the Great Northeast, and after they all went down, the last bullet in me also went out, and I jumped into the pool without thinking.

Because the water in the pool is constantly rising, the upward buoyancy is obviously much stronger, because the lobsters can water, I am worried about being chased by these lobsters, desperately diving down, the water can not recognize the direction, but I can see a trace of light, which is particularly conspicuous underwater.

I grew up by the Yangtze River, diving and swimming is not a problem for me, the only thing that worries me is the two northerns of the Great Northeast and the Little Stammer, although the army will often practice underwater operations, but it has never reached this level, I feel that my lungs are about to explode, and finally swam to the vicinity of the light, and used the last trace of strength to surface.

After going ashore, I saw Da Dongbei and Xiao Stammering lying on the ground panting, and next to him lay the old man Song who had choked on the water.

After doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation first aid measures to the old man Song, he woke up with a few violent coughs, and I relieved myself to look at the situation around me, there was a small river in front of me, which looked a little familiar, and there was a small clearing behind us, and there were some messy things piled up together in the clearing, rotten tents, and rusty iron pots and bowls.

Suddenly I thought of the year I had first enlisted, and the place we had visited, a terrible thought sprung up in my mind, and I hurriedly beckoned them to leave the place, and several people dragged their tired and hungry bodies for a long distance, and finally fell exhausted, and collapsed on the ground panting.

Three days later, I was lying in a bed in the military hospital, I can't remember exactly when I came back, when I opened my eyes, there were six beds in the huge ward, each of them covered with gauze to some extent, and the chief of staff of the military district gave condolences to the wounded in the ward, and awarded each of us a medal, but none of us had a smile on our face.

Later, I learned that all the people in the ward had encountered all kinds of dangers in the depths of the mountains, and those who could save their lives were very lucky.

Someone once said, "The earth is round, and no matter which direction you go, it will always come back"

In 69, due to the needs of the international situation, my unit was sent to the primitive deep forest on the border of Yunnan to work, due to the harsh environment, the progress of the project was unexpectedly slow, in three years, I have lost count of how many people died in the depths of the mountains, but our military facility has only just completed two-thirds of the way.

In 1972, the international situation underwent subtle changes, and Sino-US relations thawed. Let the Chinese top level re-carry out a large-scale strategic adjustment, and our border military facilities have been stopped.

Life in the barracks was boring and boring, and a few more years passed in the course of training, drilling, studying, and commenting day after day, the Cultural and Revolutionary Revolution came to an end, the Party Central Committee had put order out of chaos, the ****** had been smashed, the 10-year catastrophe had ended, and social order had returned to normal.

But for me, except for my grandfather's problem was solved, nothing else has changed for me, and in the special environment of the army, which is completely out of touch with society, I have not felt the changes in the outside world at all, but I don't need to be like before, Chairman Mao's quotations are the first to meet, but it is indispensable for revolutionary ideological education.

This morning, I was sitting in the office writing a report, and the correspondent Xiao Li ran in out of breath: "Report to the company commander, there are two strong men in the recruit company, who are particularly capable of fighting, and they did it without saying a word, and the second squad leader went up to persuade him to fight, and he fell down on **** after two hits, and whoever went up to persuade them to do it again"

As soon as I heard this, I repaid it, and immediately went to the training ground with Xiao Liu, and when I arrived at the training ground, more than 30 recruits formed a circle, watching the two people fighting each other, and some people couldn't stop shouting and cheering, and there was a second squad leader who was beaten and had a nosebleed next to him.

When the second squad leader saw me coming, he didn't speak, he ran over quietly, I saw that the second squad leader's injuries were not serious, and stood in the crowd to watch the two recruits fight.

Xiao Liu is really right, these two guys are both practitioners, and they are all good at every move, I looked at the table and saw that the time was not early, and the correspondent Xiao Liu changed clothes, and asked the second squad leader to blow the whistle and gather, I want to lecture.

More than 30 recruits stood loosely in a pile, more than 30 pairs of eyes stared at me, I stood behind Xiao Liu and never spoke, Xiao Liu did not dare to speak casually, the eyes of these people looked at the forehead straight out of cold sweat, I went to move a stool and table for Xiao Liu to sit down, and then went to get two kettles, and held an umbrella, Yunnan belongs to the subtropical climate, it happens that this day is sunny again, there is no trace of wind, even if it is winter now, under the sun for two hours, One by one, these recruits began to beg for mercy.

I didn't let Xiao Liu embarrass them, let them all find a place to rest, and in the end, the two fighting recruits were left, and the eyes of both of them were about to erupt sparks, and I was afraid that they would be ruined, and it was not worth the punishment for this matter, so I said: "You both have practiced martial arts?" ”

One of them with slightly darker skin said: "I have practiced, my hometown is Cangzhou, Hebei, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child."

I asked, "What's your name?" ”

He said: "My name is Zhao Xiaosi"

I picked up the kettle on the table and walked up to him, and I asked him again, "Since you two have been martial arts since you two have been martial arts since childhood, I will give you a chance now, hit me or grab this kettle, and you can rest."

The other said in a strong Cantonese accent: "Who are you, why should I believe you?" ”

I smiled and learned his tone and pointed to Xiao Liu, who was sitting in a precarious position, and said, "Have you seen it?" That's our company commander, I'm the company commander's guard squad leader, and it's the company commander who asked me to come and talk to you. What do you think? Do you want to try it? ”

Cantonese dialect said: "Okay, two fight one, you don't regret it." ”

Zhao Xiaosi shook his head: "You come first, I don't take advantage of this, or one to one, or I just stand here and don't fight with you, my master said, if you want to fight, you have to be fair and honest to rob it, and it is not glorious to win with more bullying and less." ”

Cantonese dialect did not hesitate at all when he heard this, and rushed up with a punch while I was not prepared, I thought he was going to say something, seeing that he came suddenly, he did not panic, his head was biased, and he flashed over, he saw that the punch was not hit and was ready to retreat and come again, and as soon as he retreated, he was tripped and fell to the ground by the foot that I had already stretched out.

The moment he fell out, he put his hands back, and the whole person stood firm with a somersault backwards, I shook the kettle in my hand and smiled, he probably thought I was laughing at him, clenched his fists and rushed up again, rolled in the air, and kicked me three times, each kick was just less than a centimeter away from me.

I kicked him out seven or eight meters away with a reflexive side kick, held my breath for a long time, and then rushed up again, playing back and forth for more than a dozen rounds, and he never stuck to my sleeve. It's not because of how good I am, but because he is too tender for me, since I was a child, my grandfather has been teaching me martial arts, practicing real fighting skills, and recruiting can kill people, plus these years of training in the army, there is still no problem at all to deal with these young practitioners.

Zhao Xiaosi saw that he couldn't get up anymore, so he shook his head and stammered: "I don't fight, I don't drink water, just stand like this, and I will rest when the company commander lets me rest." ”

I smiled and turned my head and trotted to the opposite side of Xiao Liu to stand up and salute, making Xiao Liu at a loss, I squeezed my eyes and said, "Report to the company commander, my mission is completed, what other instructions do you have?" ”

Xiao Liu said: "It's nothing, I'll ask you a few words when you come over"

After we whispered a few words, Xiao Liu coughed twice and said to them: "I read that you two are recruits, you don't understand discipline, now you are under the management of the second squad, everything has to listen to the second squad leader, if anyone fights privately and violates discipline, I tell you, there are people in this place who can clean you up, if anyone talks back to the squad leader, I will let Xiaoxiao... ”

"Xiao Zou" I reminded, Xiao Liu continued: "Ah yes, Xiao Zou is here to be your three-month recruit squad leader, now let the second squad leader talk to you, I'll go first, remember not to let me hear any bad news about you again"

After returning to the office, Xiao Liu took off my military uniform in a panic, wiped the sweat on his head and said, "Company commander, what do you think, does this work?" ”

I took the clothes and looked at them, and threw them to him and said, "Help me hang up, these two recruits owe it, and they have walked sideways everywhere after learning kung fu for a few years."

Xiao Liu hung up his clothes and said, "Company commander, why are you so good at kung fu, I haven't seen you practice before, can you teach me?" ”

I touched my belly and said, "It's no problem to teach you, is there any good food in the canteen at noon?" ”

Xiao Liu's eyes rolled and said, "Yes, I'll get you a chicken to eat, how about I stew a steampot chicken for you?" But you have to put on a strip and give me two hours off."

There are no chickens in the army, if you want to eat chicken, you have to go outside, this guy still has a few children in his hand, I still have a number in my heart, so I asked: "What kind of leave to take a stew of steampot chicken?" Don't do anything to Lao Tzu for disciplinary offenses."

Xiao Liu shook his head and promised me that he would not break discipline, but he needed to go out for something if he had something.

At lunchtime, Xiao Liu really brought me a pot of steam-pot chicken and two bowls of rice, and the two of us ate clean in the office.

I didn't bother to ask him where the chickens came from, so I lay down on the bed after eating and took a break, and picked up the book "Qimen Ancient Seal" left by my grandfather.

Since the book is written in a ciphertext that has never been popular, my grandfather taught me to recognize these words since I was a child, and it was quite difficult to read. There are also a lot of nouns such as the five elements gossip, such as A, B, C, D, E, G, G, XIN, REN, and the ten heavenly stems, Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai Twelve Earth Branches, etc., there are many incomprehensible points, and I have also found a lot of relevant books to read over the years, subject to the limited level of education, I can only read three or four layers in a few years.

The meaning of the word ancient seal in the ancient seal of Qimen is a kind of ciphertext, the legend is the invention of Qibo, the meaning of Qibo, the meaning of Qibo four words of Qimen ancient seal means a kind of ciphertext invented by Qibo, the first small part of the content is the story of the dialogue between Qibo and Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, and most of the later generations record some bizarre and strange events, plus the explanation of feng shui secret arts, the most famous of which are Jiang Ziya to help Zhou Xuan, the mysterious Guiguzi, Zhuge Kongming, who knew the three parts of the world before the fledgling is recorded in the book. But I don't believe these, the altar of the King of Dian that I encountered a few years ago, although it is also recorded in the ancient seal, but I really don't believe that this is written by Zhuge Liang himself, after all, this matter is more than a hundred years different from Zhuge Liang.

Suddenly, a burst of three long and three short assembly horns remembered, breaking the quiet atmosphere in the barracks, and my first thought was: "Something happened, Vietnam has been harassing me on the border recently, and now the emergency assembly of the whole battalion in broad daylight must be restless with the Vietnamese monkeys again" I put the book aside, bounced up on the bed and went out the door.

Columns were neatly arranged, and the entire field was green as far as the eye could see, and not only our battalion had assembled, but the entire regiment had assembled. Junior officers like me are not qualified to know what the action is, only to obey, and we have been ordered to quickly assemble in the border areas.

On the way to the border, I sat in the truck and saw through the gap a long line dragging behind me, like a green dragon with no head or tail in the flat ground. It seems that the entire military region was dispatched, and at that time it was impossible for a division to be mobilized, not to mention that the entire military region like ours was dispatched, and a unit like ours, which was already on the border, was stationed with the main force of three divisions, each division subordinate to three infantry regiments, an artillery regiment plus logistics, and more than 70,000 people. I can't think of anything else I could have done if it weren't for the Vietnamese monkeys in such a sensitive time.

There are also many people who are confused, and it was not until the Sino-Vietnamese border that they understood that there was going to be a war, and many people cried at that time.

At the same time, Grandpa Deng, who is visiting the United States, also openly admitted that the Chinese army is massing on a large scale in the border areas.

On the third day of the border station, in the early morning of February 17, 29 divisions with a total of more than 200,000 men launched an all-out attack on the eastern and western fronts of the Vietnamese border.

My company was the first reconnaissance company to reach the border, and it did not directly participate in front-line operations, but went back behind enemy lines to obtain information, and then managed to bring it back to the front-line command. During one mission, I took a squad of soldiers to the joint, and as a result, we were led into a minefield, killing half of us, and a militia of seven or eight men, women, and children surrounded us with agricultural tools in their hands. At that time, I was red-eyed, raised my gun and swept around, killed four or five people, and captured alive this anti-water insider and an old and a young mother and son.

I hate traitors the most, especially those who killed my comrades, and in a fit of rage, I left behind military discipline and military regulations and preferential treatment of prisoners. I had him blindfolded and kneel on the ground, and planted a circle of mines around him, and let the old man, the young and the young, and the mother and son kneel and watch him go to the minefield.

If it weren't for Mr. Duan's intercession for me, I'm afraid I would have gone to the military court long ago, and my military career would have come to an end since then, and I returned to my hometown with a reinstatement order.
