Niu Kangnian never thought about being a hero.

That night, when he heard the whistle, he lay in bed and didn't move. His wound hurts. If you want to be a hero, you may be able to endure the pain of the wound, but if you don't want to be a hero, you can't help the pain of the wound.

When all the brothers in the tent had gone out, the wound was no longer painful, and he "grunted" and got up and lifted the camp bed where he was sleeping. Under the bed was a weedy floor, wet and not too hard. He picked up the little shovel with a broken handle in the tent, slammed it down, carefully dug up a lump of topsoil with the roots and leaves of the rotten grass, and carefully set them aside. By the time Kaka's footsteps sounded in the playground, he had buried the secret in the ground, and the layer of soil pressed on the secret seemed to have never been touched.

Laying down the camp bed, carefully wiping the dirt off the shovel, he lay down on the bed again, and a hanging heart was settled.

Very good, the Mauser pistol, ten bullets, and three pieces of steel are finally insured. He believed that it was insurance, and no one would have thought that he Niu Kangnian would have such a fortune, let alone that this property would be buried in the soil under him. Neither the gun nor the bullets will rust, and he is wrapped in oiled paper and oilcloth. Oiled paper was found in the hospital. When he was hospitalized to recuperate, people often brought food, and he left two sheets of oiled paper for the food. The tarpaulin was a tent that was cut last night, and no one knew about it when it was cut, and it was not cut in the No. 6 tent where he lived, even if someone found it, it was not suspected that he was on his head.

Seriously, this property does not belong to him Niu Kangnian, but to the martyred fourth company commander Ruan Junling. When retreating from Changda Commercial Bank to the Dexin Building, Company Commander Nguyen took them to cover, and a volley of bullets swept over, and Company Commander Nguyen fell. At that time, it was very dark, and Company Commander Ruan was the only one by his side, and he was holding a machine gun in one hand and dragging Company Commander Ruan in the other, and he wanted to snatch Company Commander Ruan into the Dexin Building. Unexpectedly, Company Commander Ruan was covered in blood and had long been out of breath, so he took Company Commander Ruan's Mauser pistol, bullets, and three pieces of steel in his pocket, and went back to the Dexin Building alone. When he reported to the battalion commander Lin Qiming, he also forgot to hand over the relics of Company Commander Ruan - of course, Battalion Commander Lin didn't ask, and at that moment, Battalion Commander Lin himself was dizzy. The next night, the whole team withdrew into the concession, because he was shot in the shoulder, he did not enter the gate of the military camp and went to the hospital with Fei Ying's deputy and Tu company commander. When the guns were handed over in the concession, only the light machine gun was handed over. Company Commander Ruan didn't dare to mention the pistol and bullets, for fear that he would lose the three pieces of steel if he mentioned them. As a result, the Mauser pistol, accompanied by three pieces of steel and ten rounds of ammunition, wrapped in a tied military blanket, went to the hospital with him. When he was discharged from the hospital a few days ago to retrieve the military blanket, he found that no one had touched the dirty military blanket at all, and a layer of dust had fallen on it. So Company Commander Ruan's property naturally became his property.

It was dangerous to own this property, and on the day he arrived at the military camp, Niu Kangnian heard that the camp had been raided, and that the brothers who had hidden their weapons had suffered, and that a brother from the first company had also entered the central arrest room and was not released until the day before yesterday. The battalion commander, Captain Rostow, said: The secret possession of weapons in the military battalion can only be regarded as hostile to the administration.

Niu Kangnian was nervous for a while, and then decided not to pay attention to this set! He has no hostility towards anyone, he just wants to keep his property, what Rostow thinks, it is Rostow's business, and it has nothing to do with him Niu Kangnian! Of course, if Rostow buys it with money, a Mauser pistol is fifteen steel oceans, and he pays the money with one hand and the gun with the other, and he does it! If you want to take it for nothing, there is no shadow!

Niu Kangnian felt that the Mauser pistol was worth at least fifteen yuan of steel, the gun was quite new, and it was equipped with ten rounds of ammunition, and it was sold in the military camp, and someone might want twenty-five or thirty yuan. He is ready to sell, and he can sell it to anyone, as long as he gives money. Taking a step back, even if he can't sell it for money, he can use it to clear the way for himself when he escapes. If Rostow thinks that this is hostility, then even if he has hostility, it is a big deal to die, and he is not afraid! Although he doesn't want to be a hero, he is not a bad breed! If he is a bad seed, he will never come to the ranks of the national army.

The reason for his entry into the ranks of the national army was two black donkeys. Those are two good donkeys, and they have never made a mistake in selling tobacco and leather goods in Kanto. After running down the long road, he was tired, and the donkey carrying tobacco leaves and leather goods was tired and tired. The two donkeys are his relatives and all his belongings. He often chatted with the donkeys, telling them about his dream of getting rich, and the donkeys would "squeal" when they heard the joy.

However, the dream of getting rich before it became a reality, and the donkey was snatched away by the Japanese soldiers.

It was in the winter of the previous year, he drove the donkeys out of the customs to sell skins for Baoding Zhao Erye, and met the devil soldiers on the road outside the customs, and the devil soldiers wanted to requisition the donkeys to carry ammunition boxes. The beginning was quite good, but one of the officials of the devil soldiers gave him two military tickets and gave him a yellow paper head with the customs defense. He doesn't do it, he doesn't want military tickets and yellow paper heads, he just wants donkeys. This was too bad, for the devil soldiers took away his donkey, and beat him with the butt of his rifle, causing him to sleep in the snow for most of the night.

After relieving his breath, he looked for his donkey everywhere, and kept watch on the road where the donkey was lost for ten days, but he did not see even the donkey's hair. In a fit of rage, he returned to Guanli and joined the ranks of the national army, vowing to use the gun in his hand to retrieve his donkey.

He knew his donkey, and he knew the devil who robbed him. The devil officer was a mustache, with a butt hat, short and fat.

Later, I found out that this memory was too vague, there were too many devils with similar appearances, there were outside the Guan, there were also in the Guanli, there were in North China, and there were also in Shanghai, his enemies were destined to be found, and his donkey was destined to be found.

This deepened his hatred, and he began to sweep the fart hats with his machine gun, and as a result, he followed the team from North China to Songhu, until today he entered the concession military camp.

His hostility was clear, against the Japanese who robbed him of his donkey. This is known to the company commander Tu Guoqiang, and the platoon commander Dou Dabeard also knows that if the matter of hiding the gun is discovered by Captain Rostow, the company commander Tu and the platoon commander Dou will also help him speak.

Just as he was thinking, there was a sound of small footsteps outside the tent, Niu Kangnian sat up from the bed alertly, and saw a thin head poking into the tent - it was Lu Xiping, the commander of the second company.

Niu Kang stood up in a pretentious manner, pretending to salute.

Lu Xiping gave up the salute he should have received and asked him to rest. He rested, and Lu Xiping also sat down on the bed opposite him, and asked him very kindly:

"Old Niu, do you miss home?"

Family? Home is two donkeys, big black and little black, they are long gone, where did he come home?!

He shook his brain sadly.

"Don't want your parents, wife and children?"

He flattened his mouth:

"I don't know what my parents are like since I can remember, I have been with my uncle, after my uncle died, he left me two donkeys, I used donkeys to sell goods, and then ......"

"Later, the donkey was snatched by the devil!"

His eyes widened:

"What? You know that too? ”

Lu Xiping said:

"Who doesn't know about our three battalions?!"

He nodded, and added:

"We haven't married a serious wife, and I slept with a woman in the carriage and horse shop in Bai County, Guanwai, when I was selling goods. I went again the next year, and the girl insisted that she had added one to me, but I didn't look like me! ”

"Do you miss you?"

"Didn't I say it? Why don't you look like me, think a fart! ”

Lu Xiping sighed:

"I'm so homesick! Old Niu, you don't know how handsome my woman is! And my son, who is also over five years old this year, I dream of them every day! ”

He sympathized with Lu Xiping very much, but he couldn't figure out why Lu Xiping, who was the company commander, would talk to him about this? In the past, Lu Xiping was not like this, he bluffed his face all day long, and he was holding on to an official frame, and when the soldier saw him and did not salute, he slapped him on the spot. The brothers all said that among the four company commanders in the battalion, he was the most official.

Lu Xiping said again:

"My home is in Wuxi, just a few hundred miles away from Shanghai, and it's only three hours by train, but I can't go. You don't know how handsome my wife is, but unfortunately I don't have a photo. ”

He didn't want to talk to Lu Xiping about his wife, and it had nothing to do with him.

He changed the subject:

"Company Commander Lu, how long do you think they have to keep us in prison? We're already locked up in this bird place, what the are you going to do? Don't say that my wound hurts, but it doesn't hurt, and I don't want to go! ”

Lu Xiping said with a bitter face:

"I don't know about, I don't know about holding a press conference, they hide it from me! I feel like there's something wrong with that. Old Niu, haven't you heard anyone talk about me? ”

He shook his head:

"I just came out of the hospital a few days ago!"

Lu Xiping seems to have realized:

"Then you won't know! Tomorrow I have to have a good talk with Camp Commander Lin first! ”

At this point, the brothers returned, and Lu Xiping was also leaving, and before leaving, he leaned over his ear and said:

"If you have a chance, let's talk again, I have a lot to tell you, I think you are honest, just tell you!"

As soon as Lu Xiping left, Zhao Futian, who was sleeping on the bed he was, said:

"Brother Niu, what are you talking about with Company Commander Lu? Company Commander Lu has a problem with his brain, and he talks about his wife all day long, who is annoyed when he sees it! ”

His eyelids rolled:

"! Company Commander Lu speaks every sentence on the board, how can it look like there is something wrong? ”

The platoon leader who slept in the innermost part pulled his bearded face:

"Camp Commander Lin and Deputy Fei Camp told us to get involved with him less!"

He smiled darkly:

"That's Camp Chief Lin and Deputy Fei Battalion have a problem! it, it's still tossing in the middle of the night! Do these two commanders still think they are in the barracks of the national army? Not anymore! We've become pigs in a pen! ”

As a platoon commander, Dou Dabeard pulled out the shelf of the deputy barracks commander and slapped him in the face:

"Fart! You Niu Kangnian is a pig, my old bean is not! Neither are the brethren! ”

He was so stunned that he forgot to resist for a while, until Dou Beard turned and left, and then pounced on Dou Beard's back like a hungry wolf. Zhao Futian didn't see it well, stood up and hugged him, hugged him tighter and tighter, and in the end, almost hugged his feet off the ground.

He kicked his legs, struggled with his might, and scolded:

"Bean beard, I'm your mother! I'm your eighteenth generation mother! ”

If the Mauser hadn't been buried in the ground that night, he thought, he would have shot, and he would have broken the back of Dou Beard with a burst of bullets, causing Dou Beard to lie down like a dog and lick his own dirty blood.
