After lunch, a series of blockbuster news made the independent regiment blow up.

Countless daily necessities have been restricted, and from now on, even the military uniforms on their bodies must be cherished. The supply office, the health team, and the cooking team have been busy with a pot of porridge, counting stocks, requiring accuracy to half a sheet of paper and a needle. There are people from the regiment headquarters on the side of the playground who are painting a refreshed huge slogan: Diligence and thrift!

Four companies and guard platoons are about to be formed, some of the recruits are happy and some are worried, a fourth company accounts for half of the quota, and the chances of being assigned to the ideal unit are infinitely slim, in their opinion, entering the fourth company is equivalent to entering the Xinghua Village Militia Corps, and the opportunity to work is estimated to be, the opportunity to fight, then hehe!

The second company, the third company, and the ninth platoon were going to set out for guerrillas, and this was the most envied by everyone, because the scenery was infinite, the spirit was high, the mountains were high and the emperor was far away, and they were no longer under the control of the regiment commander and political commissar...... To the East...... Then hehe!

But that's not the big news. Su Qing, a political work officer, was admitted to a confinement room! She was actually confined to a confinement room! This is the headline!

Not to mention others, even the head of the regiment and the political commissar are full of question marks. She went to the regiment headquarters and said that she had a headache and needed to recuperate, so she asked for three days off, and then moved in without saying a word with her luggage. The regiment commander was embarrassed to ask more questions, and wanted to count on the political commissar to ask questions, but the political commissar didn't say anything and was in a daze.

All the rest of the news was overshadowed by this topic, and the entire independent group was talking about it. Some people are surprised, who is Secretary Su? What is her identity? What kind of place is the confinement room? What kind of thing is it that she lives there? Is she crazy? This is the collapse of an idol! This is the degeneration of discipline!

If people really want to be quiet and quiet, then the confinement room is indeed a good place, how can they not live in it. Maybe Secretary Su wants to self-reflect and experience life, which is a real good political worker!

Of course, there are always some mavericks who have different ideas, and although they are in the minority, they do have different opinions, and they think that Secretary Su is doing this to be famous! It is grandstanding! Immediately there are opposing voices asking: She is a political work officer, and it is a confinement room, is this a famous thing? It's too late to be embarrassed, right? Nonsense!

The answer was: Think about what kind of people live in this confinement room? Hu Yi, the ninth class of evil stars, the second company of fierce generals, is a sword high, and he lacks virtue and is invincible Xiao Hongying. Which of these people is not a celebrity? Which one is not a ruthless character? Hmm? Who dares to stand up and say that she is better than these three people?

The audience was in an uproar, feeling that this confinement room had actually become a place for the creation of gods? Some people scolded the absurdity! Some people secretly wondered if they should go to the inner pass if they were empty, even if they wrote in it that they would visit this place.

Confinement, famous!

......

Xu Xiao didn't expect that he would face assignment the day after joining the recruit company.

Xu Xiao didn't expect that the recruit instructor named Tie Dan didn't even give himself a chance to supplement his training, and directly ordered himself to report to the cooking class.

Xu Xiao knew that he was too thin, he was the youngest among the recruits, and of course his strength was the smallest, although the instructor had a strict face, he was obviously taking care of himself.

But this qiē is not what I want, not what my mother wants. You have to be upright and die on the battlefield with backbone, so that you can wash away the death brought by your brother and make your mother straighten up.

Standing in the middle of the empty playground under the scorching sun, motionless, hanging his head, staring blankly at the sand under his feet.

The recruits have been assigned, and they are now packing their bags in the dormitory to get ready to go to their new unit.

"How long are you going to stand here, are you going to get kicked!" said the recruit instructor Tie Dan.

"I'm not going to cook, I'm going to war. ”

"If you go up like this, you're going to die!"

"I'm here to die. ”

The "......" instructor was speechless.

Although when setting up a file for Xu Xiao, Su Qing knew about Xu Xiao's background, but he took a low-key approach, so except for Su Qing and Xu Xiao himself, no one in the independent group knew that his brother was a traitor.

Thinking that his mother was scolded all day long in the village and couldn't straighten his waist, Xu Xiao's heart hurt, if he was also scolded, he could feel more comfortable. So he raised his head and calmly told the instructor in front of him: "My brother is a traitor. ”

The instructor was stunned, so the two opposing figures kept basking under the scorching sun in the middle of the playground and stopped moving.

After a long time, the instructor spoke: "Don't mention this matter again." Second company, third company, nine rows, you go and see if they accept you or not. ”

Xu Xiao raised his head, saluted the instructor with a very non-standard military salute, and then ran out of the playground.

......

Near the station of the Third Company, the soldiers of the Third Company were happily busy packing up and preparing before departure.

An ordinary soldier walked over, smiled slightly and asked, "You want to join the Third Company?"

Xu Xiao nodded.

The soldier looked up and down: "How old is it?"

"XVI. ”

"Not enough, right?"

"I'll be sixteen in a month, really. ”

"You...... You should go to the cooking class or the supply office to exercise first, and then come to our third company when you are stronger. ”

"Company commander, I can endure hardships, I am not afraid of death, I can do it......" Xu Xiao pleaded firmly.

The soldier hesitated a little, and couldn't help but look up and down again. At this time, a man wearing glasses walked over and said to the ordinary soldier: "This number can't be counted." Then he said to Xu Xin: "The cooking class, the health team, the supply office, I can introduce you to these three places wherever you want to go." ”

The ordinary soldier nodded: "Yes, tell me where you want to go?"

Xu Xiao looked at the two in front of him helplessly, turned around and ran away.

......

Before he reached the door of the dormitory of the second company, there was an uproar, and the two soldiers standing guard outside the door had already crossed their bayonets: "Stop, what are you wandering around?"

The bayonet shone with a dazzling light in the sun, so shaking that Xu Xiao couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his eyes, and he was a little lacking in confidence for a while, so he hurriedly said, "I...... To join the second company. ”

The two soldiers looked at Xu Xiao, then looked at each other, and one of them pulled his throat into the room: "Company commander, someone wants to join!"

After a while, the door opened, Xu Xiao couldn't help but take a step back, and subconsciously quickly stood up straight. When he raised his eyes, he was actually trembling and secretly took a small step back. A tall soldier like a black iron tower, with a straight face, strode out of the threshold, looking at Xu Xiao's eyes, as if a mountain was pressed on his back, and he couldn't breathe.

The Black Iron Tower stood still in front of Xu Xiao, his majestic body actually covered the scorching sun in the sky, shrouded Xu Xiao in shadows, looked down and asked, "Who wants to join the second company?"

Standing in the shade of the huge figure, he should have felt cool, but Xu Xiao was sweating all over, raised his head and said, "I, I want to join...... Two in a row. ”

"Who are you?"

"Xu Xiao, my name is Xu Xiao. ”

"Who told you to come to Erlian?"

"I'm coming myself. ”

The Black Tower suddenly stretched out his hand, and one of the guards immediately trotted over and handed his rifle with a bayonet in the Black Tower's hand.

took the rifle with one hand, held the bayonet upward, and stomped the butt of the gun on the ground next to Xu Xiao's feet with a snap, and the Xueliang bayonet stood next to Xu Xiao's face, so frightened that Xu Xiao's body couldn't help but shake it, and then heard the Black Tower ask: "Little rabbit cub, what did you do with the second company?"

Although he felt scared, it was strange that Xu Xiao also felt his blood rushing, he felt his own insignificance in front of the coercion, and at the same time, he also aroused the desire to join the second company, and he longed to be proud and proud because of the broad and strong chest in front of him.

So Xu Xiao mustered up the courage to reply: "I can endure hardship, I am not afraid of death! ”

Although he was looking up, he couldn't see the giant's expression clearly because of the sunlight behind the tall figure and the bright blue sky edge background.

Unfortunately, the answer I got was: "The second company is a place to take people's lives, not a place to give lives, when you are higher than the bayonet on the muzzle, when to talk about it." Now fuck off, don't wait for me to say it a second time!"

......

After turning the alley, I saw a tall honey locust tree behind the courtyard wall, yes, this should be a courtyard with nine rows.

Carefully pushed open the two doors, and the room facing the gate was open with the window, and the door was open, and the room was empty and quiet, and I didn't know where everyone had gone. Turning his head to the right, there was a wellhead, and there was a stocky man squatting next to him, with a sturdy spine bare in the sun, and wet water droplets were flowing down his back, and there was a bucket and basin beside him, which seemed to be taking a shower. At the same time, he turned his head and glanced at the gate, his expression was indifferent, and then he turned around as if nothing happened, and continued to push the well water on his back, ignoring Xu Xiao, who was about to ask.

Helplessly, looking to the left, there was a broken square table under the shade of the honey locust tree, and a soldier with wide eyebrows and thin eyes sat at the table freely, without a hat or coat, with a white shirt with an open collar, and the cuffs were high above the elbows, revealing his strength. His brow furrowed deeply, and he was focused on the table, as if it were a sketch drawn in chalk on the table.

Xu Xiao stepped into the gate and made a footstep sound.

The wide-eyed soldier didn't raise his head and said, "Didn't you tell you to train until dinner?"

"My name is Xu Xiao. "It's not loud, it's clear enough.

At the table, he finally raised his head, his narrow eyes were indifferent, and he quietly looked at the thin Xu Xiao standing in the door without speaking.

Xu Xiao was a little dazed, he didn't know why he didn't speak, he just felt that his eyes were very cold, not unfriendly cold, but indifferent cold, cold that could penetrate the soul, this kind of cold would not make him cool at all, but cold to the bone, and the scorching sweat left by the experience in the second company disappeared in an instant.

This feeling forced Xu Xiao to continue talking: "I...... I think...... Join the Nine Rows. ”

The soldier still didn't speak, looked at Xu Xiao indifferently for a while, then lowered his head again, and continued to look at the map on the table, as if nothing had happened.

The wooden potato by the mouth of the well still enjoyed the coolness of the well water in the sun, except for the occasional sound of water washing, and the yard was eerily quiet.

Xu Xiao was at a loss, he felt that he was more like air, and he didn't have zài at all.

"My name is Xu Xiao, and I want to join the ninth row. He repeated, but still didn't get a response.

"I'm not afraid of hardship, I'm not afraid of death. ”

"I beg you, let me join the ninth row. Xu Xiao knew that this was the last chance, and he was reluctant to give it up.

"Knock him out. The soldier said lightly without raising his head.

The bare-backed potato got up when he heard the sound, came to the gate in a few steps, and grabbed Xu Xiao's neck and carried him out of the gate.

The door was shut.

......

The muddy river flows quietly, sparkling, reflecting the blue sky.

Xu Xiao sat by the river, covering his face and crying in a muffled voice.

A soldier walked up behind him: "With your bear virtue, can you go to the front?"

Hearing the instructor coming behind him, Xu Xiao wiped a handful of tears in a panic and tilted his head to the other side: "I didn't cry, I just had a sore throat." ”

The instructor sighed and pulled out a pencil from his coat pocket, which was awarded to him by the regiment for serving as a recruit instructor.

Bent down and handed the pencil to Xu Xiao's hand.

Xu Xiaotui refused: "I don't want it." ”

"It's not for you. ”

“......”

"Give this pencil to the girl who lacks virtue and tell her that you are going to the ninth row. The instructor put the pencil in Xu Xiao's hand.

"Who is the girl who lacks virtue?" Xu Xiao was a little confused.

"If you can't even find her, then you better go to the cooking class honestly. ”

As the instructor spoke, he walked away, leaving Xu Xiao by the river, stupidly looking at the beautiful pencil in his hand in a daze......
