Chapter 50: The Long Journey

Wu Qi didn't know what Chen Yumiao was doing, but after he reacted, his legs were a little numb, thinking back to what she had just said, what was not burdened and worried, did this mean that he could only be alone in the future. Wu Qi was a little puzzled, but he still remembered that the Dong squad leader was looking for him, so he hurriedly went out and turned left and ran to the place where the communication squad worked.

Winter in the Northeast is winter in the true sense of the word, after the heavy snowfall, everything is like wearing a thick white hat, embellishing a qiΔ“ into a snowy world, especially stepping on the snow that does not reach the calf, the feeling is so wonderful that it is impossible to describe in words.

The communications squad is always the busiest place in the troops, and they also have their own separate compounds, which are usually responsible for sending hair and telegram orders to the leaders, and basically they are not allowed to go out casually. Wu Qi stepped on the snow and forgot about Chen Yumiao's words for a while, and also forgot where he would go in half a year, but at least this was the time when he really felt happy.

Standing at the door, Wu Qichong shouted: "Report!" Then he waited for the squad leader to call him in, he attached the most importance to discipline.

"Come in!" After listening to a sound coming from behind the heavy cotton curtain, Wu Qi hurriedly stomped the snow on his feet, tidied up his clothes, and opened the curtain and went in.

In this room of about forty square meters, there can be more than a dozen people seated, they did not compete with the telegraph as before, but sat in the middle, Wu Qi came in and they turned their heads to look at him at the same time, to be honest, Wu Qi was particularly stunned by the eyes of many people, he swallowed his saliva unconsciously, nodded with a smile to those who looked over, and found the squad leader who was writing on paper in those heads.

Wu Qi slowly walked around from behind, and looked at those women a little shyly, always feeling that he was different from them. It's the difference between intellectuals and buns, Wu Qi understands it like this, at least he can see the gap himself, but no matter what, he can't lose face, straighten his waist again, and walk to the side of squad leader Dong and call him.

"Squad leader, you're looking for me."

Squad leader Dong was still writing with his head down. Dong Qian, the younger sister beside him, glanced at Wu Qi, and said with some anger: "You rookie is too big, do you know how long so many of us have been waiting for you?" ”

Wu Qiyi heard that these people had been waiting for him, and he was immediately even more embarrassed, and was about to open his mouth to explain and apologize, but saw that the Dong squad leader said without raising his head: "Qianqian, what did you just say?" How do I usually teach you? What recruit eggs? Who did you learn this from? The next time I hear you talk nonsense, I'll transfer you away, and no one will get used to you by then! ”

After speaking, squad leader Dong stopped the pen in his hand, twisted the lid and put it into his breast pocket. After picking up the piece of paper from the table, and after examining it carefully, he asked someone to hand over an envelope, put the paper on which he had just written, and sealed the envelope with glue.

Wu Qi watched him busy without speaking, and when he raised his eyes, he collided with Dong Qian's gaze, the girl was still frowning a little angrily, Wu Qi shrugged his shoulders and said he was embarrassed. As a result, the little girl snorted and turned her face away from him. There were a few slightly older people present, and they all pursed their lips and laughed when they saw Wu Qi and Dong Qian's reactions. But he didn't dare to be too loud, but Wu Qi didn't know anything, and waited for the squad leader to speak.

"Wu Qi, you just came back from a distant place, and it stands to reason that you should rest for a few days, but we don't have enough people to send abroad. I don't worry about the others, so I have to let you go" The squad leader pushed the envelope to the table, which was in front of Wu Qi.

But Wu Qi was stunned, staring at him as if he had heard something scary, and then saw Wu Qi leaning down and whispering in the ear of squad leader Dong: "Squad leader, squad leader." This trick again? Damn, this is! β€œ

He spoke in a relatively small voice, but Dong Qian, who was sitting next to squad leader Dong, heard it clearly, looked at their faces with wide eyes and said, "What's the hell?" ”

"What's your business, just talk casually in this meeting?" Dong squad leader scolded Dong Qian, and quickly withdrew his face from what the girl said, but secretly looked at his brother and Wu Qi.

Squad leader Dong raised his hand and patted Wu Qi's arm, asked him to sit down and stop standing, and then turned his head to the people around him and said, "We have a new comrade-in-arms here, because I didn't introduce myself to everyone because I had an important task before, now I will introduce you once." Wu Qiyi quickly stood up when he heard that squad leader Dong was going to introduce himself to these people, but he was dragged by squad leader Dong and asked him to sit down.

"This young soldier's name is Wu Qi, he used to guard our frontier at the Laoyeling outpost, and he also won the title of pacesetter, he is an example for us to learn, and we will get to know each other well when we have the opportunity in the future, that's it, let's go and get busy, hurry up!"

This general introduction confused everyone, and after waiting for so long, let the squad leader say a few words? What is this for? But they were already very busy, so they didn't think much about it and hurriedly returned to their posts, and only squad leader Dong and his sister were left at the table in the middle, as well as Wu Qi, who was stunned when he looked at the envelope.

Squad Leader Dong coughed lightly and said, "Wu Qi was ordered by the top before, and I don't know what I want you to do, but this time it's really sending a letter, don't think about it too much!" ”

"Is it true this time? That was fake last time? Then why did Wu Qi go in the past few days? Dong Qian leaned over her little face and asked again.

Dong squad leader didn't speak, but stared at her with his eyes, Dong Qian immediately understood what his brother meant, covered his mouth with his hand and then left to sit on the side and pretended to study some passwords with others, but his eyes were still looking at Wu Qi.

Wu Qi thought for a while and then nodded and said, "Squad leader, where is this letter going to be delivered?" I'll go right away! ”

Squad Leader Dong patted Wu Qi's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, young man, this time it was really me who asked you to send the letter, don't have any worries, do you know?" This is not so anxious, and the road is a bit far, let's go tomorrow, go back today to rest and wait. ”

Wu Qidu heard squad leader Dong say this, and he didn't have any worries. After the events of the previous days, his head hurt at the mention of delivering the letter, and the cold pain and despair of waiting for death left a mark on his heart, which could not be recovered in a moment. Some resistant reactions are also understandable, but Wu Qi walked to the door with the envelope before he remembered an important matter, and before he could tell him where to send it, he turned around and asked Squad Leader Dong. And squad leader Dong didn't reply, but just pointed to the envelope in Wu Qi's hand, and Wu Qi took the opportunity to look down at the envelope. There was a neat row of small characters written on it, and when Wu Qi saw the first two, he took a breath and actually asked him to go to Siping Street.

Siping Street is Siping City, Jilin Province, this place Wu Qi knows very clearly, because Siping is the hub station of railway transportation, many north-south railways pass through Siping, and after he came out of the new barracks, he made the old train all the way north to Northeast Jilin, and the place to get off is Siping Railway Station. And one of the most important ones, that is. His eldest brother Lao Wu is in Siping, and he also went there during the Chinese New Year.

"You should be able to find a place, right?" Suddenly heard the words of squad leader Dong behind him, and Wu Qi, whose thoughts had already flown to Siping, were startled, but after reacting, he nodded, saying that Siping can go, but this address is not very familiar, wait until you get to the place and ask the locals. Squad Leader Dong and Wu Qi came out together, and after looking back to make sure that no one was coming out, he patted Wu Qi's shoulder and whispered, "Actually, I have enough people in this place." But the boss forced you to put you here, and I can't say that I really let you stand guard at the door, right? You're still young. Take advantage of the time when you are a soldier, you should walk around and see, this is also a kind of exercise, you can stay in Siping for a period of time after you go and then come back, this is nothing for the time being, don't worry about coming back in a hurry, do you understand? ”

Wu Qi didn't understand. But he still nodded, put the envelope away, and then saluted the squad leader and said solemnly: "Promise to complete the task!" Then he added in a low voice: "Thank you, squad leader!" Then he turned around and strode away on the snow.

Dong Qian rushed to the door to eavesdrop after they went out, and when Wu Qi was about to leave, he hurriedly chased him out. But when she passed by her brother Dong's squad leader, she was caught, and Dong Qian shouted, "Brother, don't arrest me!" I'm in trouble! ”

Squad leader Dong frowned and said, "What are you crazy about this girl again?" I thought I couldn't see that you were always deliberately approaching Wu Qi, what's going on? What do you want? ”

Dong Qian lowered her head at this time and looked at the footprints in the snow, sighed and said, "I just think he is stupid and interesting, much more interesting than you!" ”

Hearing this, squad leader Dong wanted to get angry, but seeing Dong Qian's appearance of stepping on the snow with her head down, her anger subsided a lot, and she turned Dong Qian over, asked her to raise her head and said, "Do you know how much my brother dragged on to let you enter this communication class?" Can't you learn more, can't you accept your temperament? Don't forget that you can wear a military uniform, isn't it a child who understands something, so let me cāo dim sum become a little less? ”

After finishing speaking, he asked Dong Qian to go back to the house, and Dong squad leader stood alone in the courtyard thinking about things. His parents died when he was very young, and he almost begged for a living by pulling his sister alone, and later joined the army, and the situation was much better, but he didn't worry about Dong Qian, so he pleaded with his company commander to let the sister, who was not big at the time, become a literary soldier, until after the liberation, because he had a little power as a communication squad leader, he transferred Dong Qian to his side to take care of her. All the people in the military region know that this Dong Qian is the sister-in-law of the communications squad leader, and Dong Qian is lively and cute, and she is very liked by everyone, so naturally no one wants to say anything.

One of the qiΔ“ in the army is bland and even a little boring, this girl who has just reached the age of eighteen is already a veteran, or she may be used to seeing Yan sΓΉ who is a soldier, and a stunned Wu Qi came out coldly, which made her feel different, so she naturally wanted to get close, but squad leader Dong knew some things here, and he knew Chen Yumiao's identity, when he learned Chen Yumiao's purpose, he couldn't say anything and tried to cooperate, But when Wu Qi came, it was completely different from the mysterious member of the institution he imagined, this is a hairy boy who has been a soldier for a while, but he will grow up in the future, this kind of witness growth is particularly exciting and gratifying, but it can't let him get too close to himself, especially his sister-in-law, they will not be all the way in the future, and they are not now.
