Chapter 3: Old Squad Leader

I found myself spitting out a dark pile of blood clots. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info There were clumps of black hair in those blood clots.

It's a very slender woman's hair!

Seeing the hair I spit out, I was shocked and frightened, I couldn't hold back, and I vomited again, at this time I was shocked to find that what I spit out was a lump of "woman's hair" mixed with blood!

At that time, the entire company was silent, and not a single person spoke.

Thinking about it now, everyone at that time was not so much silent as shocked, after all, no one had ever seen such a scene, and no one knew how to deal with it, and I vomited very fiercely at the time, and if there was anything, I had to wait until I finished vomiting to deal with it.

It wasn't until I vomited sour water that the deputy company commander patted me on the back anxiously, and took turns carrying me to the infirmary with my comrades in the cooking class.

Along the way, the corners of my mouth were dripping blood, and occasionally clumps of "hair" spat out of my mouth.

When I arrived at the infirmary, the squad leader who received the news immediately rushed over from the cooking class, and as soon as I came up, I was scolded by the deputy and the deputy! The company deputy kept asking him how he brought the soldiers. Sick like this, but you don't know it......

The old squad leader's face was as black as pork liver.

Although the deputy company kept scolding the squad leader, I could see that his eyes never took off me.

Then, because of continuous vomiting and jolting, I went into a semi-comatose state. I have no way of knowing what the company commander and the old squad leader said.

What happened later was what I heard from my comrades-in-arms in the cooking class.

They told me that the hygienist in Lianli saw my hair spitting out, and his face was white at that time, and he pried my mouth open, only to find that there was a mouth full of bruises and hair.

At that time, he and the leaders of the medical team informed my company deputy that they must be sent to the military hospital, otherwise there will be more bad luck.

But at this time, my old squad leader grabbed the hand of the deputy company and said, "Don't send it to the hospital!" Oda's illness! I've seen it! I'll cure! ”

The old squad leader's words made the hygienist and Lian Mian look at each other, and they all asked the old squad leader: "Why? Could it be that the military hospital is not as good as you, the cooking squad leader? ”

"It's not!" The old squad leader pointed at me with an unusually calm expression and said, "Even if the military hospital can treat it, he can't hold on!" If you don't rescue it, it won't work soon! ”

"What?!" Lian Deputy's eyes widened and he looked at the old squad leader in disbelief.

At this time, the old squad leader suddenly lay on the side of Lian Vice's ear and muttered something in a low voice. After that, everyone saw that Lian Deputy's face gradually became nervous, and then returned to calm.

In the end, the deputy clenched his fists, pointed to the nose of the old squad leader and said, "You have thought clearly!" If you can't save it, you're responsible! ”

"Company commander! Wrap it up with me! He is my soldier, and his life, I will save it! Something went wrong, I went to court-martial! The squad leader said to the deputy company in a sweaty manner.

Subsequently, as soon as the old squad leader came up, he asked Zhao Hong, who went out to bury fish with me that night, and asked me if I had secretly eaten the sea bass with red eyes that night.

When he found out that I hadn't eaten the carp, a hint of surprise slipped through his eyes. But fortunately, the old squad leader was experienced enough, and he did not give up on me at that time, but carefully observed me who was already confused, chopping steps back and forth.

Finally, the old squad leader gently tugged on my right hand. I saw a scab mark on my hand.

That's the scar I accidentally left while cooking and chopping vegetables.

At that moment, the old squad leader nodded and said to the company deputy: "Company commander! I see, it's fish oil! The knife wound on the kid's hand stuck to the fish oil from the perch that night. The contents of the fish oil went down his hand. ”

"Don't say it's useless! You just say if there is still salvation! Lian asked anxiously.

"There is a way! There is a way! The old squad leader nodded as if he had realized it.

Subsequently, the old squad leader asked the hygienist to prepare him with an alcohol lamp, white vinegar and a scalpel. He asked Zhao Hong to go back to the cooking class and get glutinous rice, ginger, steamer cloth and a bowl of chicken blood. He said he was going to operate on me.

Then, the old squad leader kicked everyone out of the infirmary, and my comrades didn't know what was going on inside.

However, according to them, the deputy company was very cooperative with the old squad leader's actions, and he even stood at the door and refused to let everyone see what was happening inside.

In this way, when two hours later, the old squad leader came out of the infirmary with his tired body and his hands full of blood, he solemnly announced my life and was saved.

I don't know what the old squad leader did to me with a scalpel that day, and what he said to the company deputy.

I only remember that three days later, when I woke up from a faint stupor, I had a few scalpel-cut wounds on my right hand that had been soaked in vinegar.

Later, I quickly got better. Because of this, I am full of gratitude to the old squad leader and full of interest in this person.

After that, I also asked the old squad leader how he rescued me, but he was very secretive, only saying that I should recuperate with peace of mind and tell me when I have the opportunity to tell me later.

It wasn't until one day, when there were only me and him on duty in the cooking class, that the old squad leader told me the truth of everything.

That day, the old squad leader told me that my illness was caused by the red-eyed sea bass.

The old class leader said that when he was a child and his father were learning to cook, his father told him that the most delicious variety of sea bass was the "fourgill sea bass" from Matsue.

This fish is full of treasures, and it is delicious no matter how you do it, but the only thing you need to pay attention to is that once you meet a Matsue sea bass that is ripe but has a pair of blood-red eyes, it is absolutely not to be eaten. You have to find a place to bury it, and even the soup has to be poured out.

I naturally don't understand these rules, so I repeatedly asked the old squad leader what the origin of this red-eyed perch was, how could it make me spit out a woman's hair, and almost killed me.

At this time, the old squad leader lowered his voice and told me: "That red-eyed perch has a scientific name, called mermaid perch, this mermaid perch is not a delicacy that ordinary people can accept. ”

"Beauty bass? Sounds good! Why is it called that? I wondered.

"The reason why it's called beauty bass is because this fish eats ...... before it dies," the old squad leader said word by word: "It's a woman's meat!" ”

The old squad leader's words scared me.

Subsequently, the old squad leader carefully explained to me that in some islands off the southeast coast, there is an ancient ritual to cultivate this beautiful sea bass, and it is said that this sea bass is eaten...... It's possessed by unjust spirits!

On those islands, if a beloved man and a woman have already made a marriage, but the woman suddenly dies for some reason before they get married, and the man can't let go of this woman in his heart, and still wants to "union" with her, he will find a way to breed this beauty perch.

The specific method is very simple, first find a large vat, fill it with seawater, and "pickle" the body of the beloved woman. Then use this to marinate the woman's "meat" and feed a few large sea bass little by little.

After the woman's meat was fed, the perch also matured. Such a sea bass is also called "beauty sea bass".

After that, the men release the fish into the sea.

Why did they release these bass? The old squad leader told me that Gu's own father said that the islanders there did this because they believed that the fish was fed by a woman's flesh and carried the woman's soul in some way.

The purpose of releasing the fish is to use the power of the fish to allow the soul to escape the pursuit of the shadows. At the same time, let the soul go to the bottom of the sea to intercede with the water spirit. Ask the water ghost to help this woman get out of samsara! Let this pair of lovers enjoy eternal love in an underwater "third country......

If, many years later, the man saw this red-eyed beauty sea bass while eating sea bass, it means that the water ghost in the sea met the woman's soul and was willing to help him realize his wish and "reunite" with his dead girlfriend.

Of course, this "reunion" has a price, in short, it is a love for a life. Man, you must die!

After that, if the man still loves the woman and is willing to make this sacrifice, they will eat the perch without hesitation and wait for the "union" with his girlfriend.

And once this beauty perch is eaten, the person will be possessed by the spirit of the female ghost, and within seven days will begin to metamorphosis, first vomiting blood, spitting out "hair", and then quickly emaciated, teeth fall out, and finally will be thin into a person.

In this way, the souls and marriages of two people who have been separated for many years have been wonderfully united in this terrible way.

After that, the islanders would put the man's body in jars and bury it at sea. It is said that such a corpse will sink into the Tokyo Castle of King Myoso under the East China Sea, where the martyred boyfriend can be reborn, and there is no reincarnation, only eternal beauty, and it is a third country for martyred men and women......

The old squad leader's words made my scalp tingle, and if I hadn't experienced it myself, it would have been hard to imagine that there was such a loyal love in the world, and such a weird perch.

The old squad leader saw that my face was ugly, so he patted me on the shoulder and said, "Actually, it's my fault!" I didn't expect to buy this kind of beauty perch in Guizhou, and I didn't expect that this thing is the same as the Gu poison of the Miao people, and if you get a little bit of it, you will be possessed by the 'female soul' of the sea bass, and it will almost kill you. ”

"Squad, squad leader!" I asked, "I don't have these things in my body!" I won't...... Spit out your hair again! ”

The squad leader smiled and laughed with me and said, "Fortunately, I found it early, I pulled out the poison on your body with white vinegar and chicken blood wine according to the old recipe at home." You can rest assured...... But remember next time! In this world, there are many things that cannot be eaten indiscriminately, especially wild meat of unknown origin, which should not be easily touched. ”

When the old squad leader said this, he specially instructed me: "Xiao Tian! Today, don't talk nonsense, we are soldiers, we are all materialist warriors, and this kind of god and ghost thing cannot be believed. Do you understand? ”

I nodded gratefully, and understood the actual meaning of the old squad leader's words on Chinese New Year's Eve.

In this way, the old squad leader became my master, and my skills as a cook were taught by him little by little.

Later, I gradually learned that my old squad leader, Zhao Haipeng, was a great backbone of our company.

His ancestors were the imperial chefs of Shandong, and it is said that he participated in the production of the Manchu and Han full banquets in the former Qing Dynasty. To this day, the kitchen knife given by the emperor is still kept in the house. The division headquarters also asked him to train the cooks of the whole division, and even the old squad leaders of the "cooking circles" of the entire group army were the top talents in the platoon and the top leaders among the cooks.

After that, I learned cooking skills step by step with the old squad leader, spent two years as a conscript, and renewed the non-commissioned officer for a term, and gradually became a backbone member of the company.

However, just when I was full of hope and ready to make a big show on the big stage of the barracks. Once again, miraculous fate played a big joke on me.
