Beep-beep....
Beep-beep....
Continuous and rapid whistles sounded throughout the recruit company.
In the first class dormitory.
Zhao Lifei, who was lying on the bed and sleeping like a corpse, heard the whistle, opened his eyes suddenly, and quickly turned over and got out of bed.
"Quick, quick, wake up, gather together urgently, take out the backpacks from the iron cabinet, stuff all the quilts, bedding, water bottles, cups, and all personal belongings..."
"Assemble, the monitors of each class will lead the team to assemble in front of the dormitory building."
Before Zhao Lifei finished speaking, he heard Jiang Peng's voice outside. He shook his head in surprise and said, "It's not an emergency gathering. There's no need to pick up your backpack. Get dressed and go out as a team."
"Chen Ming, you lead the team, I'll go out first to see what's going on."
"Chen Ming?"
Zhao Lifei didn't hear the clear and capable response in the past, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Chen Ming's bed in the back.
Through the light refracted by the street lamp, I saw that the bed was empty.
"Where is the person?" Zhao Lifei asked doubtfully, then turned to look at the side of Chen Ming's bed.
"Wang Shuaibing, are you going to see Chen Ming...??? Where is Wang Shuaibing?"
Even the people on the two inner beds were not there, so Zhao Lifei realized something was wrong.
There are almost no emergency gatherings in the early stage of the artillery brigade's new recruits' company. Because of the combat readiness unit, emergency gatherings after the company is dismissed are too frequent, and the veterans will subconsciously leave some good memories for the recruits.
Therefore, at the beginning of training, each class would not specifically teach emergency assembly. He was still confused when the whistle suddenly blew just now.
Now that both of them are gone, it's hard not to think the worst.
"Report, Wei Chongchong is not in the dormitory either." Someone shouted from a distance.
Zhao Lifei's head almost exploded when he heard this.
As soon as he put on his pants, he went out to the toilet and water room. He took a look and saw that no one was there. He immediately panicked.
He immediately returned to the dormitory and touched Wei Chongchong's bed. The quilt was cold, which meant that he had been gone for a while.
Zhao Lifei waved his hands in a hurried voice: "Hurry up and get ready, go out and assemble on your own."
After saying that, Zhao Lifei ran out non-stop to prepare a report. Three recruits could not be found. This was a big event.
Maybe the whole brigade will have to assemble urgently tonight.
When he came outside, he looked around and saw no sign of Chen Ming. Zhao Lifei's heart suddenly sank. He would rather these three people made mistakes and were caught than not hearing anything from them.
Seeing Jiang Peng standing in the open space, he quickly walked over and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Pai, three people from class one are missing."
When Zhao Lifei reported, he was already prepared to receive punishment and criticism.
Unexpectedly, when Jiang Peng got the news, he just nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I know."
"You know?" Zhao Lifei looked very surprised.
"Old Zhao, I'm not talking about you." Jiang Peng glared at him and said, "The soldiers in your squad felt uncomfortable and vomited in the middle of the night, and you didn't hear it?"
"That Chen Ming and another new comrade helped the vomiting recruit to the company command room for a checkup. It is said that he suffered from heat stroke during the daytime training."
"Heatstroke??" Zhao Lifei put down his anxiety and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Is the temperature of more than 20 degrees yesterday sufficient for heatstroke?
On the first day of training the day before yesterday, the temperature was like returning to the sun. People feel uncomfortable in the sweltering heat. Yesterday the temperature was already very cool.
It's okay when it's hot, but does it cause heatstroke when it's cool?
"Why am I lying to you? Go and see for yourself." Jiang Peng waved his hand impatiently: "Let's gather the people in the first class together. Someone is smoking in the toilet tonight, and we have to find out whatever they say."
"yes."
As long as the person is not missing and knows where he is, there is no need to rush to visit him. There is a company commander and instructor in the company command room watching over him.
Not urgent.
He had been to the toilet just now and smelled a hint of smoke as soon as he entered. Now he finally understood why the platoon leader had to gather the recruits late at night.
That's okay, no big deal.
Zhao Lifei let out a breath, and when he saw the remaining seven people in the class coming out of the corridor chattering, his eyes suddenly stood up again.
...
Company command room.
Chen Ming and the three of them are indeed here, and Wang Shuaibing is treated well as a "patient".
Instructor Lin Fengcheng poured water and took glucose from the shelf and handed it to him to drink.
It’s not that no one suspects that he smokes, it’s just that what this kid just vomited was too real.
This is a good actor, so ruthless.
After working as a discipline director at a sports school for so many years, what kind of students and what kind of bad deeds have you never seen?
Coming up with ideas is trivial, but in terms of execution, Lao Wang is considered the number one person.
While Chen Ming was thinking about it, the door of the company command room was pushed open, and Zhao Lifei strode in. He first looked at Chen Ming and Wei Chongchong.
He turned to look at Wang Shuaibing again, and seemed to find that his expression was indeed wrong, so he didn't say anything.
He waved his hand and said, "You two go and gather first. I'm watching over here."
"yes."
There was still some distance to go from the company command room to the meeting point in Building 3.
Chen Ming looked at Wei Chongchong, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then pretended to be casual and said with a smile: "Okay, the matter should be resolved."
"Lao Wang, I guess he won't dare to smoke so blatantly in the future."
Listening to Chen Ming's relaxed tone, Wei Chongchong pursed his lips and said, "Actually, sometimes I really admire you, really."
"You are different from me. The squad leader initially proposed to pick the deputy squad leader from the class. Everyone knows that you are the most suitable person to be the deputy squad leader, but I don't accept it, but now I have to admit it."
"You are smart, handsome, and know a lot. The squad leader likes you, and the company commander values you. You will definitely develop well in the future, but I can't."
"Is this a compliment?" Chen Ming touched his cheek, "I would rather you praise me for being tall and thick, and for being a man."
"What you said doesn't sound right."
"Haha." Wei Chongchong was also amused. Thinking carefully about what he just said, it was indeed more like praising a girl.
"Why do you want to go home? Don't you want to be a soldier?" Chen Ming noticed that Wei Chongchong was relaxed and asked every opportunity.
As the discipline director of a sports school, I am also good at ideological work.
"It's very simple, I can't stand it." Wei Chongchong shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I know it sounds cowardly to say this, but you know, when I came here, I was also full of longing. I want to be a warrior, a soldier who protects my home and country. .”
"But as soon as I came in, my quilt got wet by the monitor. I knew I deserved it. I was disobedient. But when I went to bed that night, the quilt was still wet and it wasn't fully exposed to the sun."
"The next day my legs were so painful that I couldn't stand still. I still had to train and stand in a military posture. I really couldn't stand it when I ran yesterday. If you hadn't been encouraging everyone in the team, I probably wouldn't have survived to the end."
"After practicing all day, when I went to bed at night, the quilt was dried in the shade, but the smell was really unbearable to me."
"How can being a soldier not be hard?" Chen Ming smiled, "The quilt problem is easy to solve. Today is Sunday, and every day recruits' quilts are thrown downstairs and into the toilet because they are not folded well."
"There are so many quilts hanging to dry in the clothes drying yard, why don't you just change them?"
"You want me to steal it?" Wei Chongchong looked at Chen Ming with a smile.
"No, how can a soldier say stealing? That's called coordination."
Chen Ming's face was serious, his tone was decent, and there was nothing wrong with him at all.
At this moment, Wei Chongchong's heart seemed to suddenly open up. It seemed that the army was not as bad as he thought.
At least with such a reliable comrade, it's not so bad.
"What should I do with my cell phone? If the squad leader finds out that I secretly hide my cell phone, I'm afraid he will deal with me again."
"What else can we do? Just turn off the phone and hold it. Didn't the squad leader say that there will be a general cleaning and inspection next Saturday? Maybe he doesn't have time to help us get our mobile phones?"
"Even if he goes to get it, it probably won't be counted. Even if it is counted, let's work hard and get the moving red flag. He shouldn't be too serious. Even if he is serious, I will be punished along with him. What are you afraid of?"
"Yes, squad deputy, I understand." Wei Chongchong laughed twice.
After Chen Ming said this, there was really nothing to worry about.
The two of them were happy.
But when I returned to the assembly point, I saw that all the squads of the recruit company had been summoned, with seven or eight unlucky ones squatting on high-legged stools.
Instead of squatting on the stool, they put the stool side facing the ground. They squatted on the stool legs and stepped on the two fulcrums with their left foot.
Step on a fulcrum with your right foot, straighten your upper body, put a bucket on your head, smoke is coming out of the bucket, and hold a dripping mop in your right hand.
Depending on the situation, the mop cannot touch the ground and must be lifted hard.
After Chen Ming saw it, he blinked and was a little speechless. This punishment for smoking a cigarette must be too harsh.
