Chapter 54: I'm a Recruit
readx;? The spring breeze blows, everything is green, and the small mountain village surrounded by mountains is like a source out of the world, which is particularly beautiful and quiet. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Everything in heaven and earth seemed to stretch their waists and yawn and woke up from their sleep.
The sprawling mountains are dressed in new clothes and glow green in the sun.
The newly thawed river is like a child who does not grow up, frolicking at the bottom of the ditch, dancing and singing.
From time to time, the high skirt gently caresses the river around her, and the jumping waves are like dimples on the face of a beauty, and any movement is fascinating. It hummed a crisp song and slowly walked away along the winding ravine, its clear skin looking beautiful in the bright sun.
Warmth accompanies the air, bathing all things, and living beings enjoy the breath of spring to the fullest.
It's a season of prosperity and hope.
Qiao Xiaojing is like the creature with the strongest vitality among them, bursting with vitality again in the spring.
According to Dr. Huang of the Field Hospital, it will take at least two years for Qiao Xiaojing to fully recover, however, Dr. Huang has not seen with his own eyes how this creature who has experienced too much pain overcomes her misfortune, and what great power her will and belief contain, and in just a few months, she can already wander around the small mountain village at will without any illness.
If people didn't know about Qiao Xiaojing's injury, they wouldn't have believed that the cheerful woman in front of her was once so close to death, or to a vegetative person!
One day, Qiao Xiaojing, accompanied by Cuiyu, sat on the earthen platform to watch the training of guerrilla recruits.
"The war has changed a lot, at their age, if it were usual, who would be willing to send their children to the battlefield?" Qiao Xiaojing said with her chin in her hands and a little sad.
"Yes, war is a game in which careerists don't care about life, the game is controlled by careerists, but ordinary people have become pawns for them to complete the game, can it not hurt the people?"
"It is really sad, prosperous, and the people are bitter; ”
"I think the life you spoke of no longer exists. ”
"It's the same all the time, how can it never be returned?"
"Don't go too far, let's just talk about this small mountain village, have you ever seen the guerrillas bullying the common people? Have you ever seen the guerrilla captain and political commissar use their power to oppress people? Have you ever seen the common people scolding the guerrillas behind their backs? No, no. I think the same is true of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, they are the team of our poor people, and their efforts are really for people like us. ”
"That's true, but it's hard to keep it in the long run?"
"If the guerrillas and the Eighth Route Army win the world, we will have a good life!"
"You're optimistic. Qiao Xiaojing smiled, pointed at Cuiyu, and continued, "Let me tell you, the guerrillas and the Eighth Route Army are both revolutionary teams under the leadership of the Communist Party, and after seizing power, it is not these soldiers who hold power. ”
"So what? It's all the same anyway, it's all for the poor. ”
"After talking for a long time, what do you want to say?" Qiao Xiaojing was a little puzzled.
"I had an impulse, an urge to dedicate myself to their revolution. Jade's eyes lit up as she said this.
"What do you want to do?" Qiao Xiaojing listened to Cuiyu's words, her face became a lot more serious, she suddenly stood up, stared at Cuiyu and said, "This is a guerrilla, it is a place that pays attention to rules, you must not mess around!"
"I know!" said Jade very seriously and sincerely, "how old am I, how can I still mess around? I just want to join the guerrillas ---, and become a revolutionary soldier like them, like a soldier who is always ready to charge." ”
"I disagree. Qiao Xiaojing suddenly straightened her face.
"Why?"
"No, I just don't agree. ”
"No, don't you want to join the guerrillas, why don't you want to do so now?"
"Do you know how to use a gun? Do you know that bullets don't have long eyes? Do you know that fighting a war kills people? Wake up, my eldest sister, don't think of war as a cannon war for the New Year, it is the most ruthless game played with life, there is no humanity at all, let alone any feelings. You want to be a soldier, and you want to charge into battle, you think it's a fun thing?"
"Don't get excited!" Cuiyu hurriedly calmed Qiao Xiaojing's emotions and said lightly, "I've been here for a long time, I've been deeply influenced and influenced by them, and I feel that their way of living is worthwhile, so we should be like them, for the sake of the suffering poor people, even if we die, it is a well-deserved death." Isn't it?
I know the cruelty of war, and I have seen partisans fall under the guns of devils...... In order to drive out the Japanese invaders, how many young people like us have devoted themselves to this mighty revolutionary cause, and even sacrificed their precious lives, and many of them are younger than you and me...... Anyway, I want to be one of them. ”
"Let's think about it in the long run, shall we?"
Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu slowly walked towards the dormitory, the crisp sound of training wafting above their heads.
If it was in the past, Cuiyu had the idea of joining the guerrillas, Qiao Xiaojing would definitely support it, they had the idea of wanting to be guerrilla fighters soon after they arrived in the guerrillas, and later secretly participated in the guerrillas' battle to rescue the common people who were forcibly captured by the devils to build fortifications.
But after experiencing the test of life and death, Qiao Xiaojing's thoughts changed subtly, she was not afraid that she would die on the battlefield, but that she was worried about jade, worried that her best sister would lose her life because of the war, and worried that she would one day lose jade forever and become a loner in this world who did not even have a close person.
Since Qiao Xiaojing had this concern and was opposed to any idea of revolution in Cuiyu, there was a controversy that Cuiyu wanted to join the guerrillas and was strongly opposed by Qiao Xiaojing.
Due to Qiao Xiaojing's strong opposition, Cuiyu did not argue with her again, nor did she ask her why she opposed her joining the revolutionary team, but just quietly hid aside and thought about her thoughts.
Early the next morning, Cuiyu got dressed and got out of bed when she heard the guerrillas get up and get out of bed, she glanced at Qiao Xiaojing, who was still closed, and left the dormitory without making a sound and came to the war room.
There was no one else in the war room except for the two soldiers who had done the drawing work, and Cuiyu wanted to inquire about the whereabouts of Captain Wang and the political commissar, but the two soldiers didn't say anything, just shook their heads.
Cuiyu waited anxiously at the door of the war room, until the recruit class went out to exercise, and did not wait for the figure of Captain Wang and the political commissar, stomped her foot fiercely, sighed, "Hey, I can't wait for them, I don't care", and ran towards the recruit class, followed the recruits at the end, and went to the training ground, shouting "one, two, three, four" with them along the way.
The soldiers at the back of the recruit squad spotted the jade, and a few of the little soldiers laughed and discussed: "What's going on, how can there be an aunt following behind, is her head stimulated?"
"Maybe his son is among them, and she's here to find him. The other soldier laughed as soon as he finished speaking.
"Nonsense, we children have no relatives, the guerrillas are our home, the guerrillas are our relatives, how can there be a mother?" the child in the middle refuted the speculation of the child behind him.
“......”
Jade looked serious, ignoring the children's reactions.
Soon, the recruits all knew about the existence of jade, and they all turned around from time to time to look back, and from time to time there was a whispering sound of chattering in the team, and from time to time there was a soft laughter, and the formation became a lot more chaotic.
The veteran soldier monkey who was in charge of the training walked in front, and inadvertently saw the team scattered, and also saw the shrunken jade, at first he didn't think too much, as long as the team can train normally, it doesn't matter who follows, but it backfires.
"What do you keep looking at me, do you have flowers on my body?" Jade couldn't help the little soldiers looking back at her endlessly, so she angrily asked.
"It's not a flower, it's just funny. A soldier said with a smile.
"You're behind us, it's like a college student has run away to become a student in elementary school. Another creep said.
Immediately after that, all the recruits laughed, and the formation was completely disorganized.
"Jade, you are busy with your business, don't always follow the recruits. The monkey glared at the creeps who were leaning back and back, came to Jade, and asked Jade to leave.
"I, I'm not leaving, from now on, I'm also a recruit. "Jade is very resolute.
The recruit burst out laughing when he saw Jade tilting her head and grimacing.
"I'm training recruits, if you want to train, go to another group. The monkey was very helpless and angry, but he suppressed the anger in his heart in front of the recruits, and said with a pleasant face.
"I'm a recruit, I'm not in the recruit class, what are I doing running to other people's groups?"
"I don't care, you hurry up and get me out of here. ”
"If I don't leave, I'm going to stay in the recruit class. ”
The quarrel escalated, and the children gathered Jade and the monkey in the middle of the procession as if they were watching a performance, their eyes wandering between the monkey and the Jade......
"I've been looking for you for most of the day, why are you running here to quarrel, come back with me. Qiao Xiaojing found that the jade was missing, so she searched around the yard, but she didn't expect to find her in the recruit training ground.
"I'm not going back, I'm here. "No matter how Qiao Xiaojing persuaded her, Jade is Wang Ba's iron heart.
"Okay, if you don't go, I'll go!" In desperation, the monkey grabbed the hat from his head, said a word of anger, and walked in the direction of the war room.
When Captain Wang and the political commissar listened to the monkey's report, they were both very angry and kept pacing around the house.
Later, Captain Wang sighed, stared at the political commissar and said, "Xiaojing's injuries are almost healed, and we are not safe here, why didn't we send them away earlier?"
"Don't worry," the commissar nodded, "I'll arrange this." ”
