Chapter 3 Sit around the fireplace
The long winter was particularly boring for the soldiers stationed at the Changbai Mountain outpost, and when the atmosphere plummeted to minus 40 degrees, they could only hide in the house and sit around the fire to keep warm, and they did not have to be on duty in this extremely cold and snowstorm weather, because in the coldest months of Changbai Mountain, even the black blind man with rough skin and thick flesh would not come out to wander around, let alone people. Although human beings have clothes, no matter how thick they are, as long as they open the door and go out, it will take less than 30 seconds to get out, and they will be frozen through, which is the kind of cold from the inside out, and it is easy for people to suffer from hypothermia. The soldiers stationed at the outpost are most afraid of getting sick, and any small illness will eventually lead to a serious illness here, and when the sick person is no longer able to loosen down the mountain, I am afraid it will be too late.
Sitting around the fire in cotton jackets, listening to the creaking of the roof of the wooden house by the wind, feeling that it might be lifted by the wind at any time, the squad leader raised his eyes and looked at them for a while and comforted them: "Don't look at it, you can't die without a big deal!" "The squad leader is a local in the Northeast, he has been a soldier for many years and has fought in battles, and his knowledge is far more than these children who are less than twenty years old, but he always speaks very harshly, and with some scolding, he will talk about death and the like at every turn.
At this time, he was bored, and the big-mouthed Li Feng coaxed the squad leader to tell a story, and wanted to listen to the story of the squad leader going to war back then. Wu Qi and Liu Xuemin are also very good, they are both addicted to listening to stories, and the three of them grind the squad leader and then he will talk. There are five of them in total, and there is a little soldier who is about the same age as Wu Qi, both of whom are nineteen years old, but he usually doesn't say a word, he belongs to the person who can't kick out a fart with three feet, his real name is Hong Tianfu. But everyone in the class called him a stuffy melon, he didn't like to listen to stories, and he didn't fit in very well, he always sat alone by the kang, holding a few old books and reading them all day, and he carried them when he went to stand guard. It's much more addictive than listening to stories.
The class couldn't let the three little ones grind, so they frowned and said, "What are you listening to?" Isn't it just a fight and a shot to kill a few enemies? What is there to hear? ”
Li Feng is thin and tall, he sits on the ground and is half a head taller than the others, after hearing the squad leader's words, he turned his head to look at Wu Qi and Liu Xuemin next to Le Yan, and said to the squad leader: "Squad leader, can we not blow it?" Isn't that just for you to tell a story? You see that you are still shooting, killing and killing, so you can say this easily, why are we so willing to believe you? Isn't it seven? After speaking, he threw the conversation to Wu Qi, and the squad leader turned his head to look at him.
Wu Qi laughed and said, "Don't make fun of the squad leader." Fengzi, you say good things, the squad leader will definitely be able to tell us something interesting, otherwise how would this day live? Don't you die of boredom? ”
Liu Xuemin listened energetically, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes!" The squad leader is the most powerful, sharpshooter! What's the name of this broken gun we're using now? Oh, Su 7.62 air rifle, just this broken gun squad leader can kill a devil with one shot! One shuttle and five bullets, that's five devils! It's like a box of bullets."
"Fuck off! What the hell are you scolding me for? Looks like someone wants to stand guard today, right? The squad leader stared at the balls and shouted.
As a result, before the three of them could react, the sullen melon who was sitting on the side reading a book burst out laughing. The squad leader turned his head and scolded him again: "Hey, mom forgot about you rabbit cub!" What are you doing there? What are you doing? Are you pretending to be an intellectual with Lao Tzu? Come here! ”
The sullen melon folded up the page he was reading and sucked the frozen snot. Leaned over to the hottest place in front of the stove beside them, stretched out his hand to warm up, and didn't say a word just lowered his eyes to keep himself warm. Everyone is used to his temperament, and they love to ignore what they say to him, so naturally no one takes the initiative to say anything to him.
Wu Qi looked at the squad leader and said, "I said Master Qingtian, hurry up!" If you don't talk about it, I'm not interested in listening to it! ”
Because the squad leader's face is dark, the brothers often talk to Bao Gong. This squad leader is just strict on the face, but in fact, he is also the master who likes to make trouble in his heart, but he can always be older, and it is their head, so he naturally has to be a little majestic. But sometimes it's quite skinless and shameless, like right now.
The sunny day lord naturally said that the squad leader's nickname Bao Gong face, if he wants to change to the usual squad leader, he will definitely have to scold after hearing it, but at this time, because of the heavy snow, he can't go out, and others don't know what to say, so it's a lot more casual. The light source in the room is mainly from the flames burning in the stove, and the people who shine are hot, and the face of the squad leader is even darker, more like the baogong.
The squad leader suddenly smiled and said, "Come on, since you want to hear the story of the eldest master, then give you calves a paragraph." Let me ask you, do you know what our cockade is? You know? ”
The three of them shook their heads at the same time and said they didn't know, and the stuffy melon ignored him at all, but they could see that he was listening. The squad leader looked at their faces and said, "Look at your soldiers, except for standing guard, I don't think you will order anything else, let's just treat it as if we had a meeting in normal times, I'll tell you about it first." ”
After speaking, the squad leader got up and walked back to the kang, I don't know whose military hat he took and slipped back to sit down, and then the light of the stove made the people around look at the cockade, pointed to this thing and said: "This is our national emblem, don't underestimate this thing, there is something special here." The army with the national emblem on the hat is only our border guard, this border guard is also called the guard division, which is under the jurisdiction of the local provincial military district, and generally only has the border provinces, and the duty is also clear in your heart, that is, to defend the country's frontier! What a proud thing to do, isn't it? ”
Li Feng blinked when he heard this and said, "Oh, I really don't know this, this squad leader is really powerful!" It's really not covered! Hey, the squad leader is wrong, right? How do I remember, then why the garrison in Changbai County has a badge of Bayi? It's not what you said! ”
The squad leader raised his hand and slapped him on the head, scolding: "When did I say something different!" It's you kid who doesn't know how to talk nonsense! Our border guards were carrying the national emblem at that time, and the one with the August 1st chapter was a field army! I just didn't mix well back then, otherwise now I would be in the field army, and I wouldn't eat and drink spicy food to suffer this crime? Do you want to make a fire with a few of your little calves? Then I'm surrounded by company commanders and regimental commanders! ”
Wu Qi raised his hand to cover his head when he heard this, and after a while, he put down his hand and frowned and said, "Squad leader, don't blow it!" Don't you dare to come up with something interesting? I'm sleepy when it comes to talking about this! Let's have something interesting! ”
The squad leader rolled his eyes and glanced at Wu Qi and said, "Do you want to listen to something interesting?" ”
Several people nodded except for the stuffy melon, waiting with shy faces, and the squad leader rubbed his hands and said: "Nacheng, the eldest man is in a good mood today, so I will give you these calves to come out and tell the story of the yellow skin knocking on the door in the middle of the night!"
