Chapter 28: Wood's Theory of Evolution
Dabai and I met for the first time, and we didn't have any holidays or grievances with each other.
But Da Bai is the representative of these soldiers, and I must extinguish his arrogance, otherwise, I will not be able to stay in this barracks.
Even if I stay, I will have to give up my dignity, and I don't want to live without dignity.
I chose to shoot standing up, and the bullets were not allowed to be fired.
All the people were waiting to report the target, and the news came from the opposite side, "Ten shots and ten hits, eight shots and ten rings." ”
Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't expect me to play such an excellent result in a standing position.
I smiled coldly, "Do you understand the difference between humans and pigs now?" ”
Da Bai's face turned red, and he was on the verge of rage, "Count you as powerful, let's make a few more moves." ”
The few moves he said were naturally empty-handed fighting, and he stood there with his feet crossed and moved his wrists, with a cold face.
If the shooting just now made everyone begin to be convinced, now that I see Da Bai going to fight with me, I put the treasure on Da Bai's side in my heart.
This is human nature, Da Bai is a head taller than me, and at the same time muscular, strong limbs, in comparison, I am both short and thin, and I can't withstand the blow of Da Bai's thunder at all.
It was the black boy who persuaded: "Brother, admit defeat, you can't beat Dabai." ”
Dabai scolded: "Black Bean, you talk so much today, if you talk too much, I will stuff your head into the crotch of your pants again." Get out of the way, you little slave. He grabbed Black Bean's neck, slapped him left and right, and then kicked Black Bean away.
Black Bean was obviously very jealous of Da Bai, and he timidly stepped aside, not daring to say a word.
Dabai walked up to me, "Die," and kicked me in the head.
Da Bai wears hard-soled leather boots, and if he is hit, his head will be broken and bleeding, and he will be killed.
I took a step back and dodged, Da Bai missed a blow, even more rampant, fists and feet deceived him, he was tall, muscular, and seemed to pay attention to fitness usually, so he had a certain attack power.
I kept dodging and fighting him, but I saw Wood with his pipe in his mouth and watched it all happen, and it seemed that Wood was determined to watch from the wall.
Since this is the case, then I no longer have any scruples, and the first step of Liwei will start with Dabai.
Da Bai kicked me from the bottom up, I retreated, and waited until his tricks were old, grabbed his foot with his right hand and pulled it back, but he did not retreat but advanced, bullied sideways, and gently pressed his left hand on Da Bai's chest, and Da Bai lost his center of gravity and fell heavily to the ground, and some people around him couldn't help laughing.
Da Bai struggled to get up, and pounced on me viciously, and a straight punch from my left hand broke through the air, and I avoided the fist and interspersed forward, as if to pass by Da Bai, but my left foot stumbled his steps, and the mountain-like man collapsed again.
In this way, Dabai got up again and again, and fell again and again, until at last, he lay on the ground, panting, and no longer arrogant, like a wounded earth dog, where he raised his eyebrows and showed his pale fangs.
I stood in front of him, looking down at the poor creature, and said, "Take it, big white pig." ”
Da Bai snorted and turned his face sideways.
Wood walked over, "That's all for today, Billy, you come with me." ”
Sitting in my office, I grumbled, "Wood, I didn't expect your army to be like this. ”
Wood smiled, "Billy, Australia's military system is mercenary, these people wear military uniforms for money, there is no friendship here, whoever is the most powerful, who is eligible to receive more salary, the evolution theory of Dahl culture also applies here." ”
I couldn't understand Wood's logic, and emphasized, "Wandering kills a lot of soldiers." ”
Wood nodded, "I know this very well, but now when I talk to them about war, life and death, who can really understand?" It's like if you say to a bug in the summer, there is a season called winter, and the winter is very cold, and the water can freeze. But the bug will only be curious when he hears it, and will even think that what you are saying is a joke or science fiction, knowing that the worm has never seen ice in generations. ”
"Summer insects can't speak ice, this is an old Chinese allusion, my father told me about it."
"Yes, these soldiers can only understand the meaning of war if they truly see the bloodshed and sacrifice."
"I beg to differ, it would mean that many people would die in vain." I retorted.
"War is not a game, and bloodshed and sacrifice are inevitable. Only through the baptism of war can I select real warriors. ”
I smiled wryly, "I see, we're just a bunch of quails." ”
Wood didn't understand what I was talking about, "Shen, what are you talking about quail?" ”
I was amused by Wood's persistent learning spirit, "The quail is a Chinese bird, and it is aggressive by nature, and fighting quail is a game custom in China, which I heard my father tell me." ”
My father once followed the chief of the navy Ding Xianda to Beijing, Ding Gong was originally to report to Lord Li Zhangtong, and one evening, Lord Li took Ding Gong into the palace to meet the famous Prince Gong.
Father and a group of soldiers were standing outside the gate of the palace waiting, when a man full of gorgeous clothes and dignified appearance came over, and when he saw a group of soldiers asking the reason, he was overjoyed and clapped his hands and said, "It's the right time, you guys will go with me to do something, and the master will take you to open your eyes." ”
The doorman of the palace told everyone that this was Lord Belle in the palace, that is, the son of the prince. The soldiers had no choice but to obey the order and follow this Belle master. When he arrived at the place, he learned that it was a private house, so Lord Belle asked the soldiers to enter the house and snatch a woman out and send her to the prince's mansion.
Later, Lord Belle's little servant told everyone that one day when Lord Belle was drinking tea by the Shicha Sea, he saw a bewitching woman, who was alone, and threw him a flattering look.
However, Lord Belle likes to mess with flowers and grass by nature, and sent his subordinates to buy a bouquet of lotus flowers, and after the woman accepted it, Lord Belle was overjoyed, and he was uncontrollable from then on, and often had secret meetings with him.
After a long time, Lord Belle found that the woman was really a natural stunner, so he wanted to marry the woman home, but the woman said that the family had a mother-in-law and a husband, so it was bound to fail, the only way was to rob her halfway, Lord Belle snatched a woman, who dared to say half a word.
The woman's method is so ridiculous, but this Lord Belle is even more ridiculous, and he actually brought someone to rob it. Later, after a detailed investigation, the woman was also a Miao descendant of Aixin Jueluo, and when it came to seniority, she was still the aunt of the same clan as Lord Belle, and the prince imprisoned Lord Belle in the Zongren Mansion in a fit of anger.
A few days later, the prince's wife died, and Lord Belle asked the queen mother with eloquence: "Do your best to be the son of man, and go to the funeral and filial piety." "When the mother dies, is there any reason not to let the son fulfill his filial piety? The queen mother, who was kept in the dark, didn't know the inside story and specially released it.
Lord Belle was like Sun Dasheng who escaped from the gossip furnace, he was even more at ease, and later took the emperor to linger in the Qinglou with him, and finally let the emperor be infected with the virus and let go.
The court only said that the emperor was infected with smallpox, which was just an excuse for whitewashing, and no one in the capital knew about this matter, and of course they also knew that the initiator was the lord of Belle, who was known as the first stubborn lord in the capital.
Father said that this Lord Belle is extremely smart, he can read and recite, except for the right thing, he can't do anything, all kinds of crooked and evil ways are fine, and he is involved in all kinds of dogs and horses, and among the stubborn lords in the capital, it is the top spot.
Once Belle Ye was obsessed with fighting quails, who knew that the variety from Wuse was not worth mentioning at all, and he was defeated after a while, so that Belle Ye lost thousands of taels of silver, and Bellelord was angry, and he fell to death those quails and decided to train quails himself.
He spent a lot of money on 200 quails at once, and put them all in a big cage, and a little common sense said that putting these aggressive quails together would make them kill each other, which was a pity. Lord Belle didn't think so, and scolded these people for not understanding bullshit.
The quails in the cage were happy now, and they fought happily in the cage, and two days later, they all died.
Baylor didn't care, and got two hundred more to throw into the cage, and naturally these quails fought until they were only hairy wings.
In the third experiment, there was a quail in the cage that was still alive, and Lord Belle clapped his hands and laughed and said, "It's done." ”
This quail was named "Vertical Wing" by Lord Belle, which is naturally an allusion to "there are fish in the North and turn into Peng".
Belle Ye happily went to Nanhaizi to fight quails, this time he was in the limelight, and the vertical wings won eighteen games in a row, Belle Ye smiled and couldn't close his mouth, and he was even more serious about this quail, and secretly unloaded the prince's cherished red sandalwood kang case into eight pieces, and made a bird cage for the vertical wings.
When I finished telling the story of Lord Belle, I said to Wood, "In your eyes, we mercenaries are really just quails in Lord Belle's cage!" ”
Wood laughed and did not answer me, "I finally understand that the Chinese always lose wars." With such emperors and princes, the immortal country is already Amitabha. ”
I believe this was Wood's unintentional words, but they made my heart feel bitter, and for the first time I felt that my father's desperate bloody battle and three years in prison were a little worthless.
Yes, this is the emperor and the court that my father misses in my heart, even if my father was caught by the court and exiled in a foreign country, he is still nostalgic for his homeland, looking forward to one day revitalizing the prestige of the Chinese army, and the court has been like a withered tree, rotten to the roots, is it necessary to protect such a country, is it necessary to save it?
Presumably, my father gradually understood this, so he pinned his hopes for China on the revolutionaries.
This is evident from the fact that I was asked to rescue the smuggling artisan.
Wood patted me on the shoulder, "Billy, I can trust your marksmanship, your current mentality is far better than those GIs, but it's not enough, what I can advise you is that the law of war is actually cruel, you need to adjust your condition to the best to survive every war." And only those who survive are qualified to say that they have won. Work hard now, my friend. ”
"Aren't you afraid of the soldiers fighting?"
Wood shook his head nonchalantly, "My only request is not to shoot, and the rest is up to my own strength, and I am no exception to you." ”
I agree with Wood's words from the bottom of my heart, Wood's approach seems cruel, but it is wise, you can never wake up the person who pretends to be asleep, and waking up early is the best way.
It's just that I have already woken up, and tonight I will leave the barracks with my gun and go to the Big Wolf Mountain alone to rescue those craftsmen and fulfill my father's entrustment.
At lunchtime, I went to the cafeteria, got a meal, and ate alone.
From time to time, the GIs would shoot their gazes at me, and these gazes had different meanings, some were admiration, some were fear, some were novelty, and some were hideous, such as that big white.
I ignored these glances, finished my meal lightly, and returned to the cabin on the mountainside.
The sun was shining, so I simply moved the only sofa in the room outside and lay down on it to take a nap.
If it weren't for the rescue of the craftsmen, I would have liked to stay here, quiet and comfortable.
Many times, I feel that I am more suitable for such a quiet life. In the wilderness, I spent seven days alone in a cave, hungry to hunt, thirsty to drink mountain springs, sleepy and lying in the sun as I am now, letting time pass.
Of course, I really felt lonely and ran back.
It turns out that people, like animals, cannot live alone from the group, not because of survival, but because of life.
I thought of Luna again, she had always been indifferent, and if she had been lying here like me at the moment, she and I had a few words to talk about, and there was no topic to talk about, and they would be silent with each other.
If it were replaced by Piyou, I am afraid that it would become a different situation, she might have been impatient for a long time, and dragged me to the mountains to hunt, or walked into the bar to enjoy the hustle and bustle there, and often made some ridiculous things, I really can't guess what kind of person Piyou will marry in the end, what kind of child she will give birth to, her husband will definitely be tortured by her headache, and her child will be innocent and cute, because Piyou herself is like a child.
I can't help but laugh when I think of this.
Here I saw Black Bean carrying a roll of luggage, and two other soldiers carrying large bags and small bags up the hill.
Are they sending me something? I don't think so, because I already have luggage myself.
Sure enough, behind the three of them was a boy, who walked up the hill with curly hair, sunglasses, cigarette in his mouth, and a trench coat.
They went to another hut together, and the boy told the soldiers to put down their luggage, waved at them, and sent them away.
Black Bean and two other soldiers spotted me, and they ran over and gobbled.
"Billy, yes, your performance today is so good, you know, no one has ever dared to say that Dabai is a pig."
"Haha, we're just thinking about it in our hearts."
"Cut, still think about it, Black Bean, haven't you let Da Bai bully enough?"
"Fuck, if I were Billy's skill, I'd kill that bastard alive." Black Bean looked angry.
I looked at the three of them, "You guys hate and fear that big white pig, don't you?" ”
The three men looked at each other without words.
"If he bullies you again, tell me that this kind of mud will only know how to write the word respect if you keep beating it."
The other two soldiers were excited, "Great. ”
Black Bean hesitated, "Billy, you have to be careful. I heard a few guys gathered in the cafeteria today and said that they would come and clean you up at night. Dabai coveted this room of yours, and told Wood to move in, but he didn't wait for Wood to agree to you. The guy was angry, and Wood just said he had the ability to fight for it. ”
I couldn't help but smile bitterly when I heard this, Wood's theory of evolution made me an enemy on the first day, but I was inexplicably enthusiastic, and if I hadn't run away tonight, I would have enjoyed this fight.
"Oh, Black Bean, you can pass a word for me, then let them come over, I'm waiting for them here, you have to understand that in the face of these vicious dogs, there is no way to hide. You have to let them know that it hurts, and they will see you and take a detour. Go ahead! ”
The three of them went down.
"Hey, buddy, are you going to fight at night?" At some point, the boy ran over. He was clearly overhearing our conversation.
I looked at the guy and nodded, "It's a little trouble." A couple of GIs were going to clean me up at night. ”
The boy became inexplicably excited, "It's fun, I'm going to play too." ”
I looked at the freak rubbing his hands together and being so happy, "It's none of your business, just stay there." Those soldiers are tall and big, what are you messing with? ”
Who knows, the boy pulled out his chest, "Why should I listen to you, I want to play." ”
I was speechless and simply ignored him.
When the boy saw that I ignored him, he actually played a trick: "Dude, it's okay, give me this opportunity to play." ”
I looked at the boy, "Do you still have this to say in a fight, how do you say it?" ”
The boy grabbed his hair and thought for a moment, "By the way, let's change rooms." ”
