Chapter 24: The Chief
The originally good atmosphere was made by the squad leader's words, Li Feng didn't chew the meat in his mouth, looked at the squad leader with his mouth half open, and said after a long time: "What? Transferred? Where are you going? Who's going to be transferred? ”
Wu Qi lowered his head and frowned at this time, and with a slight side of his face, he saw the stuffy melon sitting on the side silently, but he didn't have any surprised reaction, he still ate as if he hadn't heard it. recalled those strange words that the melon said in the cave in the valley, it was actually authenticated at this time, and it was a letter that came after they left, indicating that the melon should have known about it for a long time, and he should have known that someone would transfer them away at a certain time, so who was he? Why stare at yourself?
Wu Qi's little head couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't turn this corner, but he heard Li Feng continue: "Squad leader, who wants to be transferred?" Which two people? Is there one for me? ”
The squad leader glanced at him and said, "You kid treat me honestly, what's the matter with you?" It's Wu Qi and Hong Tianfu, the two calves! It shouldn't take ten days for someone to come and pick you up, and then it won't be under my control, no matter where you go, you're definitely not as used to you as I am, so be better! ”
Wu Qi made the squad leader's words a little sad, Wu Qi, Li Feng and Liu Xuemin should all be brought out by the squad leader, and they have been together for a year and a half, they should have parted, they can't be in the outpost all the time, there will always be a day when they will retire and return to their hometowns. But this came a little too suddenly, too early, Wu Qi didn't know where to be transferred without any preparation, and he was about to be separated from Li Feng, Liu Xuemin, and the squad leader, he was really a little reluctant, and he kept thinking in his heart about how to be so fast!
But Wu Qi thought about it and suddenly realized something, and just wanted to open his mouth directly to ask the stuffy melon around him, since they were transferred away. And the stuffy gourd seemed to know in advance, so Wu Qi felt that the stuffy gourd would definitely know where they were going, but with so many people there, Wu Qi knew that he wouldn't talk to him, so he held back. After being asked some things curiously by Li Feng and Liu Xuemin, Wu Qi was also confused by vagueness. In fact, he didn't know, he also wanted to know.
This day is a thrilling day, but it is much more interesting than the monotonous and boring days of standing guard and patrolling every day, and it also leaves a suspense that can only be seen in many days. They all forgot how long it had been since they had eaten meat, and now that they had eaten a pot of broth, they were still swollen when they slept at night, and they couldn't sleep if they had something on their minds.
As a result, he tossed so much that he woke up Liu Xuemin next to him, and asked him with squinted eyes, "Hey, Seventh Brother." What do you not sleep and toss? If only you had eaten and walked around the stove a few times. ”
Wu Qi glanced at him and thought: "What a bad idea, people can freeze to death at night, I have a hot quilt and don't lie down on the ground to walk idle?" But after thinking about it, my brain became more sober, the stove in the middle of the wooden house was still burning, but it was very dangerous to burn an open fire to keep warm in this kind of house that was completely made of wood, especially the layer of sawdust on the ground, which was most likely to be ignited by sparks, so Xiao Qi had not slept well for so many years. Always carrying a heart half-asleep, he now understands a little bit of how the eldest brother Lao Wu has been cautious for many years.
But I can't sleep when I toss and turn. I wanted to talk to Liu Xuemin, but I turned my head and found that the guy was asleep again, and he couldn't wake him up, so he had to turn his face to the other side, which was a stuffy melon sleeping on the top of the kang. Wu Qi wasn't sure if this person was asleep, but he still exhaled tentatively: "Hey." Are you awake? ”
But the stuffy gourd didn't react, he still closed his eyes, Wu Qi was a little discouraged and planned to close his eyes and sleep, but just when he was about to force himself to fall asleep, he suddenly heard the stuffy gourd respond.
"Didn't sleep."
Wu Qi immediately opened his eyes. He found that the melon was looking at him, and felt that the three people were asleep, so he asked the melon, "Who are you?" What do you mean by trial during the day? Where will I be transferred? ”
The sullen melon said expressionlessly: "Sixteen." ”
"Sixteen?" Wu Qi felt that he had heard of this thing somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.
Stuffy melon repeated again: "It's sixteen, you heard it right." ”
Wu Qi lifted the heavy quilt and half-propped himself up, but then he quickly retracted from the cold, and asked puzzledly: "I don't understand, shouldn't the military region transfer us away?" What are the Sixteen Institutes? ”
The sullen melon laughed at this time, turned over and didn't look at Wu Qi with his face up, and said, "The Sixteenth Research Institute, you have been there before." ”
Wu Qi vaguely seemed to have a little impression, why are these sixteen schools so familiar, as if he has heard anyone talk about it, who is it? Suddenly, a person flashed in front of him, it was his eldest brother Lao Wu, right! It's Lao Wu, he mentioned it once. There is an underground building built in the underground of the tomb slope in Lushi County that was abandoned from the Republic of China period to the liberation, the narrow underground passage and countless small rooms, as well as the arms at the end of the passage, they mistakenly entered it and made a lot of mistakes, Wu Qi then completely remembered.
But he suddenly realized that the sixteen research institutes that were supposed to be the Kuomintang period, could it be that there were still spies hidden in the army? What covert operations are planned? So that's a spy? Thinking about a lot of things in his brain, he suddenly widened his eyes, and subconsciously moved back a little, and Liu Xuemin, who touched him, slurred a few words and turned over and fell asleep.
Wu Qi raised his finger and said a little nervously: "You, you are a spy?!" ”
After hearing this, the sullen melon actually shook his head with a wry smile, and said to himself: "I really wonder, why did the leader pick you?" If you have no ability, you have no brains, what do you like? I haven't found out in over a year! ”
Wu Qi sat up a little nervously, and said in a low voice, "What do you mean?" Who are you? Otherwise, I'd call everyone up, be honest! ”
The sullen melon was unmoved, but still shook his head and sighed and said, "That's it, let's mention someone to you, you should be able to get to know each other, Li Huan knows, right?" ”
As soon as he heard this name, Wu Qi immediately felt a trace of respect in his heart, but it was even more strange, and he leaned over and asked the sullen melon, "How do you know about Brother Li Huan?" What is your relationship with him? ”
Sullen melon turned his head at this time, met Wu Qi's eyes full of doubt and nervousness, and suddenly grinned: "What does it matter?" Li Huan is my leader! (To be continued......)
