Chapter 2: His Story

When the lights-out horn sounded, Wang Sheng sat on the ground decadently, holding an ordinary A4 in his hand, on which were written eight blood-red characters: If you want to survive, kill the enemy. The patrolling soldiers passed by him and ignored him, Wang Sheng lived in this world like a ghost, no one could see him, he didn't understand, how all this happened, at this time his tears had already dried up, frantically tore the paper into pieces, threw it to the sky, and embarked on the way home.

Wang Sheng was born in Hunan Province, his parents are simple and honest rural people, gave him a simple name Wang Wenshan, although his parents have a limited level of education, but his name has different meanings, I hope he can study hard, grow up to be able to get out of this remote mountain village, can marry a beautiful daughter-in-law in the city. Wang Wenshan did not live up to his name, and lived up to the high expectations of his parents, except for not studying well, fighting and skipping class.

Time flies, Wang Wenshan went to junior high school in a blink of an eye, but his studies are still not good, he can't even rank second-to-last, his mother is very angry, and he supervises his study with a stick every day, but it doesn't do anything. Wang Wenshan's temper is also strong enough, the more you beat me, the less I will learn. And Wang Wenshan's mother is, the more you don't study, the more I will beat you. A small mountain village that was originally peaceful. Now I can hear Wang Wenshan's mother's yelling and Wang Wenshan's crying every day.

Wang Wenshan's father is very optimistic, seeing that his son is not studying and is not in a hurry, whenever he sees his mother beating him, although his father does not stop him, but he will always persuade on the side: "If you don't learn well, you won't learn, and I will farm with my father, this little life is not good!"

One day, two people suddenly came to the village, a man and a woman, who seemed to be about twenty-five or sixteen years old. The man's figure is fat, with horizontal flesh, no hair on the top of his bare head, and he walks like a ruffian, without a bit of fairy bones. The woman's long eyebrows are clear and beautiful, with big eyes, double eyelids, and every move has the appearance of a lady. Such two people, claiming to be accurate in everything, the people in the village naturally will not believe in the street god stick, but these two people do not need any remuneration for divination, which makes the people in the village feel somewhat surprised, some bold and curious people go to calculate a hexagram, these two people do not ask anything, you can calculate what he wants to count, and even be able to divinate their names, the news spread quickly, the two fortune tellers instantly became famous, and ten miles and eight villages all came to calculate a hexagram.

Wang Wenshan's mother learned of this, naturally she would not let go of such a good opportunity, starting to line up at seven o'clock in the morning, standing against the sun until four o'clock in the afternoon, only to finally see the two fortune tellers, the fortune teller woman smiled and looked at Wang Wenshan's mother, before Wang Wenshan's mother spoke, the bald head preemptively spoke: "Wang Wenshan's name is not good, and his birthday is compatible, if you want him to get ahead, you must change his name, called Wang Sheng, otherwise, your son will not live to be twenty years old." If Wang Sheng is still unproductive, I am willing to be your tenth generation of cattle and horses. ”

Although a few simple words, Wang Sheng's mother was frightened, he just wanted to ask, the fortune teller had already waved his hand to send the guest, if there were still problems, let her come again tomorrow.

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Wang Wenshan's mother was already guarding the door of the village chief's house, but she was still late, and there was already a long queue on the street. After the village chief got up, he shouted helplessly: "The two gentlemen have left last night, let's all go back!"

Wang Wenshan's mother returned home disappointed, and since then Wang Wenshan has changed his name to Wang Sheng, although the name has changed, but Wang Sheng's study is still not good, and he doesn't even want to read anymore, because Wang Sheng has been beaten a lot, but no matter how he beats, Wang Sheng has always maintained a mentality: beat me to death, and I won't go to school. In the end, Wang Sheng's mother was convinced and didn't care about him.

Wang Sheng, who dropped out of school at home, and his parents have been farming for a few years, in a blink of an eye, Wang Sheng is nineteen years old, adolescent children, are full of yearning for the outside world, unwilling to stay at home, to go to the outside world to explore, Wang Sheng's mother originally hoped that her son will not live in this rural area in the future, it is not bad to go outside, and maybe bring a beautiful daughter-in-law back, Wang Sheng's mother happily agreed to Wang Sheng's request.

Wang Sheng's father asked someone to find Wang Sheng a job as a hotel waiter, Wang Sheng took the 300 yuan given by his mother and left home, but everything was not as perfect as Wang Sheng's mother imagined, Wang Sheng worked in the hotel for less than a week, so he left without saying goodbye, wandered around the city for half a month, spent all the 300 yuan given by his mother, and ran back to the house.

Wang Sheng was full of words: "I want to be a soldier, I don't want to be called like a dog, I want to be a hero like on TV." ”

Wang Sheng's calculation in his heart is good, his parents have been in the mountain village all their lives, and the image of heroes has only been seen on TV, and the heroes on TV all died at a young age, so how can I say that my parents can't let themselves die. You don't have to be a soldier, and you don't have to be beaten by your mother, isn't this the best of both worlds?

After all, there is a certain gap between imagination and reality, Wang Sheng's father heard that Wang Sheng wanted to be a soldier, he was very excited, and happily agreed. Wang Sheng only knew at this time that his father's wish in this life was to be able to join the army, his father was nearly half a hundred years old, and his wish could not be realized.

Wang Sheng regretted it very much, he knew that he couldn't escape from this stick, it was better not to make up such nonsense, now it is difficult to ride a tiger, if he told the truth, not only would he have to love the stick, but he would also break his father's heart, Wang Sheng finally failed to tell the truth.

In order to allow Wang Sheng to join the army smoothly, Wang Sheng's parents entrusted a lot of relationships, the rural family did not have much money, this toss money is all gone, and more than 10,000 yuan have been borrowed, Wang Sheng, who did not want to be a soldier, that is, he could not let the family's money be wasted, let alone make his parents sad, he had to step into the ranks of recruits.

After Wang Sheng entered the army, he was a very ordinary border infantryman, and he did not stand out as much as he could, so naturally he did not receive the attention of the troops. After a year of army life, Wang Sheng summed up one word: tired. He has always maintained a mentality in his heart: one day is a day, and if it is not good, everything will be fine when he is discharged from the army.

Hope is always beautiful, reality is always cruel. What happened next was beyond his imagination.

One bright morning, Wang Sheng got up as usual, sorted out housekeeping, and went out to exercise. At breakfast, he heard the squad leader say that he would carry five kilometers of cross-country with the recruits in a while, Wang Sheng was notoriously lazy, he suddenly lost his appetite, and complained secretly in his heart: Why did he want to go five kilometers cross-country with the recruits, he was not a recruit anymore, which blind chief gave the order......

Anger is anger, but he can't change the facts, being a soldier can only obey orders, he doesn't have the courage to disobey orders, and he can't hide from a five-kilometer cross-country.

"It's still the original broken mountain road, I don't know how many times I've run it hundreds of times, and I don't run it the other way. Wang Sheng complained in a low voice as he ran.

Wang Sheng scolded the leaders of all levels of the army, the more he scolded, the more angry he was, the more angry he was, the more he scolded, unconsciously, five kilometers had run more than half, Wang Sheng was suddenly stunned, the bag behind him seemed to have become lighter, there seemed to be no weight, jumped on the spot a few times, it did become very light, but there should be some things in the backpack.

He just wanted to put the backpack down, but suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and the gun he was carrying on his chest was gone.

Wang Sheng was completely frightened, panicked and put the backpack behind him on the ground, opened it and saw that there were two bags of compressed biscuits, a bag of compressed beef, a military kettle, and an ordinary axe commonly used at home and an A4 paper. None of these things should be in his backpack.

Wang Sheng picked up the A4 paper, on which were written eight words with a red pen: If you want to survive, kill the enemy.
