There seemed to be another whisper outside the door, and the flashlight shined straight through the dark corridor, shaking.
"what are you doing?!"
"Ah, pee."
"Go quickly!"
The night patrol team wearing white helmets scolded an innocent soldier who was anxious, and then disappeared deep into the corridor with a flashlight and a riot stick. The "bang~bang~" sound of the steel boots that suffocated Shen Rusong gradually disappeared. , only the cold moonlight through the window became colder.
Shen Rusong took a few breaths as if he was relieved. He looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost dawn, and no one would be coming. It was impossible to leave such a matter until dawn.
After exchanging glances with Deng Feng, the other party nodded slightly, turned around and lay back on the bed. Shen Rusong didn't close his eyes all night, and crawled onto the bed as if he was exhausted. When he got close to the sheets, he was shocked to find that the fitness shirt he had changed after he came back was actually It's wet again.
It's all his cold sweat, it gets wet when it's dry, it's wet when it's dry!
The loud wake-up call sounded, and no one spoke in the usually noisy room. No matter who it was, they all avoided Liu Zixu and Yang Qi as if they were avoiding radiation sources. These two guys didn't look as rosy as when they woke up. They stayed up all night, knowing that they had committed a serious disaster, and their faces were ashen. Even if he made a little more noise, he would still look like a coward, peeking at the squad leader's expression.
This is a major matter handled by military law.
But the usual five-kilometer cross-country run was still unavoidable. He hadn't slept all night, and Deng Feng was in good spirits. Shen Rusong and the other three simply finished the run with a grimace. During the process, squad leader 1 even asked Shen a few questions. Why did Rusong look so unhappy? Shen Rusong was so frightened that he almost blurted out, "I admit my mistake!"
Breakfast after morning exercises consisted of steamed buns, pickles, wheat porridge, and diced radish. It was salty, but to Shen Rusong, it tasted like nothing.
Because tomorrow I will leave for the Qianshan Mountains for a month of outdoor training. Sergeant Major Xu Guofeng, who was in charge of training, had no intention of practicing any extra today. After spot-checking the maintenance status of firearms and armaments, he asked the platoon leaders of each squad to lead the team to continue familiarizing themselves with pack horse riding to avoid any trouble when walking on mountain roads.
Yang and Liu had been staring at Shen Rusong's expression all morning, and Shen Rusong had also been staring at the sergeant major's expression all morning. However, until the lunch break, let alone the military police who came to arrest people or have individual interviews, the sergeant major and the platoon leader didn't even get close to the 2nd squad. They were both busy accompanying the inspection team who did not know when they appeared.
Shen Rusong absentmindedly scooped up a spoonful of pig meat, chewed the fragrant blood sausage for a few times and then slid down his stomach. From time to time, he looked at the work on the other side of the canteen with the company commander, company deputy and regiment headquarters. The sergeant major who was chatting happily with his training staff occasionally glanced at the platoon leader at the next table holding a bowl of sea food while eating.
Shen Rusong was frantically debating whether to report it or not. Maybe this incident was a routine, and if nothing serious happened, just pretend it never happened. After all, no one in the platoon leader or sergeant major mentioned how the auxiliary soldiers are, especially the platoon leader. His name is Xu Bowen. He graduated from the National Defense University and was just awarded the title. He is still a newbie, and he definitely doesn’t know about surface bases. As for the specific doorway, I usually follow the regulations and repeatedly emphasize that it is forbidden to go to the infrastructure soldiers.
However, a more likely possibility is that the superiors are waiting for him to take the initiative to surrender and see how he performs. Surrendering or not is a different outcome.
The sound of pots and pans suddenly stopped. Shen Rusong woke up and found everyone in the class looking at him. His heart skipped a beat.
"Squad leader, put away the bowls." Someone reminded.
Only then did Shen Rusong realize that half an hour had passed and his table in class 2 was the only one left untouched.
After finishing the meal in a hurry and washing the dishes, Shen Rusong sent everyone back for a lunch break. He called Deng Feng and Qiu Tiejun, who had been slowing down beside him.
"What do you two think? Should you take the initiative to go there?" Shen Rusong asked.
"It doesn't matter whether you go or not... Actually, I feel..." Deng Feng said.
"The higher ups don't know."
"I don't care at all. Old Deng, think about it. After the war, the military police did not go to the north of the base. The entire battalion who survived last year ran to the infrastructure soldiers. How could you care about this?" Qiu Tiejun said.
Shen Rusong thought about it and felt that it made sense. He casually greeted Zhao Haiqiang, the 1st squad leader, and said that the weather was very good today. The sun was shining, the temperature was rising, and the clouds were coming out.
Shen Rusong was perfunctory, and when the others were gone, he asked again: "You said something happened to the 3rd Battalion before, but the higher-ups really didn't find it afterwards?"
"I really can't find it."
According to Deng Feng, last winter, someone from the 3rd Battalion next door went to the auxiliary camp and was detained. Because the squad leader of the squad in question was killed in action, it was the platoon leader who ransomed the person. There was actually no movement at all. After that, everything went smoothly with the auxiliary soldiers, and nothing happened at all.
Countless thoughts ran through Shen Rusong's mind. In such a large base, there are tens of thousands of people. It is normal for something to happen every month. In the middle of the month, he heard that another regiment in the division, the military police of the 96th Infantry Regiment, arrested a soldier who was bold enough to go to the infrastructure camp to cause trouble. That night, he packed up his clothes and went to the 74th Infrastructure Division to dig stones, and was converted from a volunteer to a coolie.
"What do you say about the watch? Why do you need two thousand and two for military supplies? They are here to rob." Shen Rusong suppressed the idea of surrendering and asked about the functional watch instead.
Today, the four of them dug out an old electronic watch with eight images and put it on. They fooled around with it all morning, but they couldn't hide it for a lifetime.
"That's what I was about to say." Deng Feng hooked Shen Rusong's shoulders and whispered: "Don't you #%& know that this requires going through the armory process?"
"Last year, the 2nd Battalion went out for training. Someone lost an 80-type firing pin outside. It cost a few cents. Who cares if it was broken and reported it? Later, I begged my grandpa to sue my grandma and spent more than 5,000 to go to the division. Got one back from the scraps in the armory."
"When I first joined the army, I also had a firing pin. I heard that someone in the regiment was cleaning a gun, and it was a Type 78 sniper rifle. After wiping it, I found that the thing was gone. The whole company was stunned to accompany him to search for a day, but he couldn't find it. In the end, the one who carried the gun squatted in the company commander's office all night with his squad leader. He asked the company commander to get him back and gave him eight hundred to the armory. He didn't write it down in the book, so he didn't carry the punishment."
Deng Feng tapped his wrist with his fingers and continued: "The ex-factory price of this watch is not expensive, about three hundred yuan, but this year's ones all have diamond faces, so let's round it up, four hundred. Think about it, if it doesn't matter, A firing pin that can hold up to one dollar costs several thousand, so it’s fine if I don’t charge you ten thousand! You have to thank Fatty Liu for not transferring him. This guy is easy to talk to. If someone else is in charge of the armory, they won’t take it even if you beg!”
Shen Rusong's head went numb when he heard that four watches were equivalent to 8,800 yuan. He was currently receiving the 17th level of corporal salary, which was slightly better than the 18th level of private salary. Even if he later worked all the way to the fourth level of sergeant major, That is to say, Xu Guofeng's current position as sergeant major could only be earned by not eating or drinking for several years.
Deng Feng was an innocent disaster. It was good that he didn't invite others to dinner. It would be nonsense to ask him to pay for it. Asking Yang Qi and Liu Zixu to share it? They should pay for the trouble they got into, but what if they can't afford it? He, Shen Rusong, was not allowed to help him, otherwise would he be dead if he was reported on?
Please, he has to bear joint responsibility, just like a soldier loses his gun and the commander of the army fights him from top to bottom!
"It's a wooden plank. If it doesn't happen, it'll be fine. If it does, at least it will be a major demerit. Either it's on credit and it's a debt of gratitude. How does he want to repay it?"
Deng Feng saw Shen Rusong's expression of embarrassment. He was not surprised. How many families of those who went to be orientation officers were rich? If you have money, why not become a platoon leader?
To be fair, Shen Rusong certainly has this money. The problem is that his family has this money. It is normal these days in the underground city to have money without rationing coupons. It is normal for every household to save a few thousand, but why did he write to Need money at home?
Ever since he entered the sergeant academy, he has been sending money home. Now he wants to spend thousands of dollars at a time. Is it because of this hammer thing?
Shen Rusong let out a long sigh, waved his hands in frustration and said, "Go back and listen to what those two idiots have to say."
After returning to the barracks, everyone was taking a lunch break. Qiu Tiejun, who had nothing to do with this matter, lay down to rest first. Because we still ride horses in the afternoon, it’s torture for people who don’t ride horses, so they need to rest well.
Shen Rusong stood at the door, knocked on the door, and raised his fingers at the two people who caused the trouble. Yang and Liu didn't dare to sleep, so they followed obediently to a secluded place.
"You went to prostitute this thing, I didn't report it." Shen Rusong said, putting his hand on the radiator. He was only half a block taller than the two of them, but looking at them at this moment was no different from looking down.
"I consider that the situation in the base is complicated and no one mentioned anything about the auxiliary soldiers. It is understandable that you made the mistake." Shen Rusong first gave a date to calm down.
Seeing the two men taking a long breath, and just when they thought the thunder and rain had subsided, Shen Rusong raised his big stick.
"But! The matter of the watch will not be hidden for a long time. We will set out for training tomorrow. A whole company plus a cavalry platoon, numbering 140 or 50 people, will find out sooner or later."
"Biao, we have to find a way to get it back!"
Shen Rusong didn't ask for 2,000 yuan before he raised his head. Yang Qi suddenly raised his head and said:
"Squad leader, you tell me how much trouble I got into, and I'll pay for it."
Shen Rusong glanced at him sideways, said "heh" and replied: "Ask the quartermaster to get some, one yuan, two thousand, two thousand, four yuan, eight thousand eight. The money in your pocket is either to buy cigarettes or go to the canteen to buy some." Snacks, where did you get the money?”
"Don't even think about asking your parents for everything. The salary of a technician and maintenance worker is only two to three hundred a year, so why don't you buy the coffin book at home?"
Seeing Yang Qi lowering his head to look at the boots, Shen Rusong felt conflicted for a moment. His family's money was money, but his own money was not money? But who told him that Shen Rusong was the squad leader and must bear joint responsibility?
"Let's see, ask someone in the class to borrow some, and I'll lend you something..." Shen Rusong clicked his tongue, and finally said with difficulty: "I'll lend you three thousand..."
Three thousand... His entire net worth is only over five hundred, and the rest is just asking his family for it, and I will never refuse to give it.
He doesn't want to keep a demerit, and he doesn't want to work hard and fall behind those who are worse off in the future. He wants to make meritorious deeds, go to the Army Command College, be promoted to major, return home in glory, go to the place where his father died, and tell him, your son Now I am as powerful as you.
He didn't want a demerit.
Shen Rusong looked at Deng Feng who followed him out. Then he touched his nose and wondered: "As for Deputy Deng, I'll lend it to you if you have enough money..."
What Shen Rusong said was condescending, and Deng Feng put his hands in his trouser pockets and replied: "Last year, there was a field subsidy, double pay a day, and each person was paid 500 when he returned to the base. After cleaning up the ruins, he got pre-war objects, and when he resold them, he also got paid A small fortune..."
Deng Feng slapped Shen Rushong hard on the shoulder and said, "You are loyal!"
Deng Feng turned to Yang Qi and Liu Zixu again and cursed: "I'm sorry for you two retarded people! We are in the same class anyway, so we should help. I have...well, most of my money has been sent back, and I still have some left in my hands." One thousand and three, give me one thousand."
"This is what the squad deputy got for his life, I can't take it!" Yang Qi suddenly raised his head and said.
Shen Rusong directly slapped the ungrateful boy and scolded: "You #@%&, I will try to find a way for you but I won't do it. Now that you have died in the war, your pension will be 8,000 yuan at a time. Are you going to go?" Die!"
"I really do!" Yang Qi said with a crying voice.
"My dad is the director of the factory, and my mom works in the Education and Sports Bureau. I get more than 20,000 yuan in red envelopes a year. I don't need to raise this amount of money!"
