Chapter 16: Abnormality
Wu Qi sat alone on the side of the fire, watching the movements of the stuffy melon's hands, he used a thick branch to pick up the dead branches in the ashes that had not yet burned clean, and the movements were very skillful, and it seemed that he had often lit a fire before. Wu Qi didn't know anything about the stuffy melon's previous life experience, all he knew was the stuffy melon, and he seemed to have no relatives. Because during the Chinese New Year, there will be a blind date for the soldiers, relatives will come from their hometowns, and bring local girls to the place where the young man is a soldier to let the two meet, if they are in love, they will wait to go home after being discharged from the army to get married, it was so simple back then, it is not as complicated as we are now, as long as the two of them look at each other, then there is no need to say anything, wait for marriage.
The people at their outpost caught up once, and on the first day of the Lunar New Year, they were at the place where the Siping troops assembled, and they watched a lively scene, that is, the blind date meeting mentioned earlier. Wu Qi is an orphan and has no family, but his eldest brother in the grave team is busy working in Siping, Jilin, so the army gave him a few days off to find his eldest brother.
Wu Qi's eldest brother is surnamed Wu, and others call him Lao Wu, who is not young but has a strong body, and he is also a man when he is young. But the old Wu Gan's hotel, I didn't expect to catch up with the first day of the Lunar New Year and be extra busy, Wu Qi went to be caught by him to do a day's work, tired and ran back, just in time for those relatives to come, but those little soldiers probed their heads to see not the father and mother who came all the way to see it, but the women from the same village who came with them.
It's embarrassing to say, although the army is a place to exercise people, but the yang energy is a little too much, which means that there is a bit of a lack of girls. Seeing so much of this, those little soldiers were dumbfounded, and they couldn't see the ugly handsome, anyway, looking at it in a floral dress with braids made people feel very excited, and it was suddenly lively.
After Wu Qi rushed back from his eldest brother, he immediately found his troops. I met that Liu Xuemin. The relationship between the two of them has always been very good, most of them are Wu Qi taking care of him, and they are also good brothers who talk about everything. Several of Liu Xuemin's relatives came, all of them were sitting in the military tent that was set up, and they could not have direct contact without the permission of their superiors, let alone have too close contact with the eldest girl's family. That's a hooligan, hooliganism, and those who find it have to be criticized.
The two of them hid outside the tent and looked inside, Liu Xuemin couldn't be happy, pointed to a group of people in the middle of the tent and said that it was his father, and the girl with her head down next to her was the one who came over to go on a blind date with him. Wu Qi saw the excitement and made a move, but when he followed the direction of Liu Xuemin's finger, he took a look, oops! After reading it, I felt very uncomfortable, and sighed secretly: "Oh mom, this girl is ugly!" ”
Speaking of which, this girl is really a little sorry for the people, not that she is ugly. It's unbearable, and it's still good to look at it, but if you look closely, the big black face is combed with braids, and the small eyes are like a soybean, which makes the face extraordinarily big. Besides, Wu Qi just came back from his eldest brother, although his eldest brother has no ability and no money, he has a beautiful mother-in-law, and he is not a few years older than Wu Qi. The little face is white, the big eyes are pointed and the beauty is always cold, so people don't dare to pull aside. Behind her back, they all called her Leng Meiren, but when Wu Qi and his sister-in-law compared, the girls sitting in the tent couldn't see it.
Liu Xuemin naturally didn't know Wu Qi's thoughts, he felt good when he saw it, so he poked Wu Qi and asked how the house was?
Wu Qi was embarrassed to say that the girl was not good-looking, so he followed him and said that it was very good. At first glance, you can live and have a baby, okay!
This made Liu Xuemin happy, so Sa Huan asked the squad leader to open a note and let him go in to have a good look, Wu Qi wanted to call him. But this man is like the rabbit who turns his head and disappears, and he is left with himself, just as boring.
Many of the tents came out of the ravine, but when they entered this ravine, they couldn't say that they were dirty or not, anyway, Wu Qi didn't matter, I thought of other places to see the excitement, and I happened to meet a stuffy melon. Stuffy melon walked with his head down, looking like he didn't come to his family, Wu Qi felt a little empathetic, and wanted to come forward to talk to him, but he didn't expect that Stuffy melon actually let a guard under a company-level cadre call him away, and he didn't know what to do. Wu Qi wanted to follow but didn't dare, so he looked at the figure in the distance and felt a little strange, he thought that this stuffy melon might be the child of the cadre, otherwise why would people be so indifferent, and he felt that no one could look down on him. That is, from that day on, he invisibly paid more attention to the stuffy melon, and it was very strange at this time.
The stuffy melon in front of him seemed to have been dropped, since Wu Qi came back, until the stuffy melon came in, his mouth has not stopped, it is simply a chatter. From the traps of the prey, to the birds and animals in the woods, and what the things they were carrying, the weather outside was getting worse, how they were going back, and so on.
Wu Qi was almost dumbfounded, he didn't listen to what the stuffy melon was talking about at all, he just stared at his actions without squinting, such an abnormal situation is definitely not a good sign, it is better to be on guard.
But when I turned my head to look at the two of them, it was like two stone sculptures, and their expressions didn't change a single one, they always liked to talk, why is it the other way around now? They became silent and cold, but the sullen melon couldn't hold it anymore, grabbing Wu Qi and chattering endlessly.
In the end, he couldn't help it, Wu Qi suddenly remembered something and asked the sullen melon and said, "You take a break first, I'll ask you something." Wu Qi stretched out his hand and pointed to the hole behind him, just in time to see the bright light in the distance, "What do you say is that bright spot?" ”
After hearing this, the sullen melon suddenly fell silent, his originally smiling face slowly froze, glanced in the direction of Wu Qi's finger, and then turned his head to stare at the fire, the wooden stick in his hand was gone, and the dry branches in the fire creaked. Seeing this, Wu Qi moved back a little, afraid that this strange stuffy melon would suddenly whip him with the flaming wooden stick.
But Wu Qi then asked again: "What kind of animal did you catch just now?" ”
The sullen melon warmed his face at this time, raised his eyes and looked at Wu Qi and said, "It's a raccoon, haven't you eaten it?" ”
Wu Qi only knew the raccoon, but he still didn't know what this raccoon rat was, so he smiled wryly and said, "How did you catch it on this snowy day?" ”
The melon let go of the hand holding the wooden stick, and suddenly raised his eyes to stare at the bright spot in the distance, and after a long time, he turned his head to Wu Qi with a smile and said, "That thing doesn't need to be caught, it is the original owner of this hole, we occupied its nest and ate its meat." But after saying this, the sullen melon suddenly sneered a few times, revealing a strange expression and said, "Oh, you ate it, we just look the same as you." It's just a show. (To be continued......)
