Chapter 2, Dream Under the Stars
The gendarmerie is the equivalent of the police in the army, and is responsible for military discipline. In such fights, the gendarmes will usually come forward to stop them, and at the same time deal with the participants strictly.
I saw a small group of military policemen wearing black uniforms and white armbands approaching. The leader was a small mustache.
Seeing the arrival of the gendarmes, the marines also stopped punching and kicking Li De, took a step back, and stood beside Vasily.
The mustache at the head glanced at Li De, who was curled up on the ground motionless, and saw at a glance that he was a yellow-skinned and black-haired Chinese. The mustache frowned, this kind of fight actually happens in the barracks every day, especially against the Chinese.
"Vasily? Why are you making trouble again? "The mustache seemed to know the strong man.
"Huh! Elton! I just taught a Chinese kid! Vasily said.
"Can't you let me be at ease? I didn't tell you, don't cause trouble! Elton said impatiently.
"Hey, hey! Got it, Elton, but it's a miner kid this time, so forget it! ”
The mustachioed Elton squinted at Li De, who was lying on the ground, and kicked Li De in the back with his toes. Li De reflexively twitched.
"It's not seriously injured, it's just a little internal, and it's not in the way!" Vasily said to Elton with a smile and a cigarette on his face. The role of the gendarme is something that ordinary soldiers can't afford to mess with.
Elton gestured to Leed on the ground, and two gendarmes helped him up and put him on his shoulders. "Alright, it's okay!" Elton dropped a word and left with Lid. And Vasily and others, who were the beaters, scattered in a hurry, as if nothing had happened in any period.
Looking at the departing gendarmerie squad and Li De, who was carried away by them, the bartender shook his head helplessly.
He was carried out by several gendarmes and walked all the way to the garbage heap behind the bar. The gendarmes stopped. Elton turned around and looked at the wolf-bothered Li De, a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth.
Elton made a gesture, and the two gendarmes with him on his feet threw him directly onto the garbage heap. Looking at Li De who was dumped in the garbage, Elton whispered: "Huaguo's garbage is still best with garbage." After speaking, he spat on Li De.
The rest of the gendarmes watched from the sidelines, smiling disdainfully, and learned from Elton to spit on Li De, and then left with a laugh, no longer caring about Li De's life or death.
After a long time, Li De gradually came to his senses. At this moment he was wolfless, and his body was full of filth. There was pain in many parts of the body, and the thigh muscles were also beaten to the point of cramp-like pain. Get up from the garbage heap. Li De, who grew up in the garbage dump, also felt that his whole body was dirty now, and the sense of humiliation in his heart made him tremble with anger.
Punch the ground hard. The feeble pain from his fist numbed his heart. Although this is not the first time he has been bullied, and there have been several times before that others have taken the initiative to provoke, but this is the worst time he has been punished. And it's worse every time.
Why is this happening? At first, picking up garbage at the garbage dump, when facing those big children and gangsters, Li De still didn't understand. Now he knew that in this federation, the Chinese people had always been suppressed, and they were excluded wherever they were.
Suppression means rebellion, and now there is a contingent of Chinese in the federation who are specifically opposed to the federal government, known as the rebels. The federal government calls them rebels, terrorists. And because of this, others will bully the Chinese people scattered on various planets of the Federation even more.
It was painful to even stand up, and he was kicked several times in the lower abdomen, making it impossible for Li De to stand up straight. The lips were also broken, and the already dried blood stains were covered with dust. Like a walking corpse, Li De limped away from the garbage heap. With difficulty, he walked back to the dormitory.
In the public bath, I washed off the filth on my body and changed into clean clothes. Although there was still a hot feeling coming from various parts of his body, Li De still did not fall asleep directly, but walked to the edge of the dormitory.
The mine is running around the clock, and at the moment it is brightly lit, and a few headlights are shining here as if it were daytime. In a dark corner at the back of the dormitory, Li De was sitting on the ground with his back against the wall. Leaning his head against the wall, looking feebly at the sky.
The gray-black sky was shining with a few faint stars. Looking at the little starlight that struggled to emit a faint light, Li De's heart couldn't be calm.
He felt that he was like those stars now, although he tried his best to shine, but he was inconspicuous. He remembered saying when he was six years old, "I want to be a Federation general, command hundreds of warships, and conquer the universe." And now it seems how naïve that idea is.
A month after joining the army, he deeply felt that he was always excluded. When he was beaten by those Marines, no one would lend a hand. Those timid miners hid as far as they could, just like today, watching themselves being beaten by several people.
Count the days, today is my eighteenth birthday! But this birthday is really sad. Thinking of this, Li De touched the lower abdomen and thighs that were kicked again, and the internal organs were still a little uncomfortable, it seemed to be internal bleeding, and the muscles were in some pain, and it was estimated that it would take a week to recover.
Although, when Li De was on Planet Arkansas before, he also fought with those thugs for five days. But how can those little gangsters be born compared to these Marines? Those sturdy Marines are energetic, and in addition to venting in the gym and in the ring, bullying Chinese people like Li De is considered a third way.
It would be impossible to say that the Federal Military Department was unaware of such a situation. But those who were officials turned a blind eye, and Li De complained twice, but what brought him a more violent beating. Therefore, Li De didn't bother to complain anymore, he only knew that if his military rank could be higher than those people, they would not dare to provoke him.
A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier! One day, I will become a general admired by all people, so that those who provoke me will tremble with fear when they see my name! Li De roared in his heart!
Thinking about it, Li De closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep. In his dreams, he seemed to feel like he was part of the universe, becoming that star, soaring through the endless space. No one dares to provoke themselves anymore, and no one looks down on themselves anymore.
In his sleep, Li De suddenly had a strange feeling, which made him leave the soaring cosmic space, and he seemed to see his body in the dream. He felt what seemed to be a warm current flowing out of his abdomen. At first he thought it was because he had been kicked today and the wound was bleeding. But then, he noticed that this strange warm current began to flow through his body.
The next morning, two suns rose over the horizon, and the intense sunlight shone on the barren land. Li De was blinded by a ray of sunlight, and he squinted his eyes and got up from the ground. After moving my body, I had a very strange feeling that the places where I was beaten last night didn't hurt much anymore.
Li De was very puzzled, according to his management of being beaten many times, how could he rest for a week from last night's injury. He thought that today would be the most difficult day, but the traces of last night were somehow healed.
Just as Li De was looking at his body and walking forward, and he didn't know what was going on, a figure bumped into him.
"How do you TM walk? Don't you have long eyes? A voice rang out. Li Decai reacted and bumped into someone just now.
If you look closely, it turns out to be a short soldier who followed Vasily yesterday. At this moment, the soldier was sitting on the ground, rubbing his arm.
Seeing the soldier's painful expression, Li De thought to himself, this guy probably wanted to fix himself again, obviously he was lightly bumped, how could he react so violently.
Seeing Li De's face clearly, the little soldier jumped up and said arrogantly, "Hey! Aren't you the same miner we beat last night? How? Do you want Uncle to teach you a lesson? ”
"You're alone?" Li De asked cautiously. He also remembers to look like he was hurt, holding his hands over his stomach and thighs. Although the pain was gone now, he didn't want the person in front of him to see anything abnormal.
"MD, one person can teach you a lesson!" said, without waiting for Li De to say more, he punched Li De.
But Li De felt that the little man's punch came very slowly, as if he was playing slow motion. He moved his head to the left, and he dodged away very lightly.
Li De thought to himself, is this some conspiracy? And a trick? So he took two quick steps back.
When he retreated, Li De himself was taken aback, he made a small jump, and he jumped two meters away.
Something must have gone wrong. Li De thought to himself.
"Good boy! I hid so quickly when I came back! The little soldier said to Li De, "Don't run, you kid, see how Lao Tzu teaches you." ”
Two more blows, one kick and one punch, Li De still felt that the movements of the small soldier were slow, as if he was moving in the mire.
Not knowing what the other party was doing, Li De lifted his anger and used the moves that the one-armed old guy taught him on the garbage heap before.
The feet parted, the center of gravity sank, and the shoulders hit the opponent's chest heavily.
This collision, Li De was startled again. Because this little soldier suddenly flew several meters away, and then fell heavily to the ground.
This qiē did not look like the small soldier deliberately fell out, but was knocked out by Li De. Li De walked into the little soldier and saw that the man had passed out.
