"I have to bury them," Gu Maolin said.
Wang Ke wanted to stand up, but his legs were numb. Is this a fantasy technique, or is it?
But Wang Ke already believed that this was definitely not Qihuang's technique. Just like the legendary Xiangxi Corpse Exorcist, it is an unexplainable fantasy. When many things cannot be explained by the laws of nature, we can only attribute these supernatural phenomena to fantasy. But seeing it with my own eyes was already terrifying.
"Gu Maolin, how do you know this kind of fantasy art?"
When he said this, Gu Maolin was already on the spot, gathered the snakes together, piled a snow tomb on the spot, and said to himself: "When the ground freezes and the snow melts, I will make a tomb for you again." .”
Looking back, Gu Maolin said to Wang Ke: "Squad leader, do you believe it?"
Wang Ke nodded vigorously, then shook his head. He didn't want to lie to Gu Maolin. He was a revolutionary warrior, but if he told it, who would believe such nonsense?
"Squad leader, please help me. You are the first person besides my grandfather who knows that I can do this kind of kung fu."
"What kind of kung fu is this? This is clearly a sorcerer and sorcery!" Wang Ke was in shock, and his words were not polite at all. But when I think about it, Gu Maolin told you all this huge secret just because he wanted to ask you for a favor. How can you be so heartless and unjust. Even if you don't help, you shouldn't ridicule them. So he relented again.
"Gu Maolin, how do you want me to help you?"
"I just want to go home and see my grandfather for the last time. Just give me five days."
Gu Maolin's request was not excessive, because after deducting the travel, he could actually only stay at home for three days.
"Has your grandpa passed away? Why have you always said that your grandpa has passed away?" Wang Ke has one last puzzling question.
"I didn't mean to say that, it was my grandfather who told me to say it. He..." Gu Maolin's voice dropped again, "He has too many enemies."
Wang Ke laughed as soon as he heard this, "Gu Maolin, you think I believed you in that little trick just now. What era are you in now? It's not the ancient era. You have read too many martial arts novels! It has been many years since the reform and opening up. Do you still think it is?" Is there a bloody storm in the world? In this bright world, where are the enemies?"
"Monitor, it's up to you to believe it or not, but this is the truth. Monitor Wang Ke, I really don't treat you as an outsider. Just believe me. My grandfather is really not an ordinary person."
"Okay, I won't go that far. I don't care whether your grandfather is really dead or faked. I just want to find a way to help you. I'll get back to you tomorrow!"
"Thank you so much, monitor. But I have one more request. Whatever happened today, we should treat it as if it never happened. Don't let anyone know, otherwise you and I will be in trouble." Gu Maolin said sincerely.
"Okay, let's go back."
"Well, monitor, I'm waiting for news from you."
A philosopher once said that everything in the world is destined to meet.
When cold meets warm, there is snow and rain;
When spring meets winter, there are seasons and years;
When heaven meets earth, there is imagination and eternity;
When I meet you, there is life and friendship.
In this life, there are no random encounters. All encounters are inevitable and have their fate.
When Wang Ke returned to the company, he went directly to the canteen to eat. After eating, he thought for a while and decided to go to the second platoon leader Hu Zhijun to at least listen to his opinion. As a result, when we arrived at the second platoon, we learned that the second platoon leader Hu Zhijun did not eat with the company today. He went to the health team to visit fellow villagers. The health captain was a fellow villager who joined the army two years before him. It would only take a few months for the two of them to get together, and they didn't know when they would return.
Wang Ke came back in dismay, with his head lowered, not knowing how to deal with it.
"Reconnaissance squad leader, what are you thinking about with your head down?" Deputy company commander Lu Zeran walked towards him.
"Hello, deputy company commander!" Wang Ke stood at attention and saluted.
"Let's go for a walk with me." Deputy Company Commander Lu Zeran said. Wang Ke knew that the Deputy Company Commander Lu Zeran in front of him had always been very kind to him. Although the relationship between the two is superior and subordinate, their relationship has long transcended the ordinary gay relationship.
"Yes!" Wang Ke turned around and followed deputy company commander Lu Zeran towards the vegetable cellar at the back.
The snow on the road has long been shoveled away, but the snow on the trees on both sides of the road still falls from the poplar trees from time to time. This tree, called "hairy poplar", is a common fast-growing forest in the north. It grows tall and large, and its bark is white. Compared with the poplar trees in the south, the leaves are much hairier, and in spring, the sky is filled with hairs, mixed with its seeds.
"Reconnaissance squad leader, you have something on your mind!"
"Deputy company commander, I have a problem. I don't know how to deal with it!"
"What's the matter? Tell me and I'll listen and see if I can help you." Deputy company commander Lu Zeran was very happy when he heard that Wang Ke was in trouble. If I could help Wang Ke, it would be like returning a small favor. I owed him a life and several favors!
Wang Ke then told Gu Maolin what happened. Of course, it is absolutely forbidden to say that Gu Maolin can see the road through his eyelids, recognize objects through stones, and call out hibernating snakes in the snow. To put it bluntly, it is superstitious and may even cause trouble.
"You are a typical nosy!" Deputy Company Commander Lu Zeran felt a little jealous when he heard this.
"Yes, I am meddling, deputy company commander, why is Comrade Lei Feng so good? It's not because he drives a car well, but because he meddles a lot. As long as he helps others and is a person who is beneficial to others, I I’m willing to do it too!”
"Hahaha..." Deputy company commander Lu Zeran couldn't stop laughing when he heard Wang Ke's strange remarks.
After laughing, deputy company commander Lu Zeran asked: "He is still a recruit! If there is something really wrong at home, it is not impossible to ask for leave. But you are also asking, is his grandfather dead? His grandfather is not dead, why is he Did you say that before?" The question was the same as what Wang Ke had thought before, but he couldn't tell the real reason to Deputy Company Commander Lu Zeran.
"Deputy company commander, everyone is confused sometimes. He must have a reason for saying that before. This is the situation now. He even had the experience of running away once!"
"Ah! How do you know? Detective squad leader, tell me." So Wang Ke told the story about the last time two policemen shot and chased him.
Deputy company commander Lu Zeran took a breath of cold air. "This soldier is not an easy man. What if you help him and then get into trouble again after returning home? Stay away from him in the end."
"Deputy company commander, I promise not! If we don't help him, he will definitely run away. Then he will be punished and he will be finished in the army." Wang Ke then told the deputy company commander Gu Maolin's true thoughts. Lu Zeran listened.
"In this case, let me think about it and see if there is any way to say hello to the deputy commander of their machine gun company! If it doesn't work, don't think of anything else."
"Thank you, deputy company commander. Can you get a reply tomorrow?"
"You don't have to wait for tomorrow. You'll get a reply soon." After saying that, deputy company commander Lu Zeran stopped walking and turned around and walked towards the machine gun company.
Wang Ke secretly rejoiced. He did not expect that the deputy company commander Lu Zeran would be so capable and do whatever he asked.
"Wait for me at the top of the gable wall. I'll go find their deputy company commander." Deputy company commander Lu Zeren said hello to Wang Ke, opened the door and arrived at the machine gun company headquarters.
After a while, deputy company commander Lu Zeran came out while shaking his head. When he saw Wang Ke, he said: "Reconnaissance squad leader, it doesn't seem to work. This guy's impression in the company is very average!"
"Ah!" When Wang Ke heard this, his heart went cold. "Then deputy company commander, is there any other way?"
Deputy Company Commander Lu Zeran thought for a moment, "There is no way, it's not that there is no way, but is it worth it?"
"Deputy company commander, can you please tell me?" Wang Ke was a little anxious.
"Then I'll say hello from above. In fact, the machine gun company also needs a reason to give him a lie now." The deputy company commander scratched his head. It was a snowy day. He was a little embarrassed after all the trouble just now. The sweat on his head Also popped up.
"I don't know anyone above!" Wang Ke didn't expect that Gu Maolin's request for leave would be so complicated.
"Where's the person? I know him. The co-coordinator of the direct team is also a fellow countryman of mine. But it's not appropriate for me to talk about this matter." Deputy company commander Lu Zeran was a little embarrassed.
"What's wrong with you going?" Wang Ke asked, chasing the deputy company commander Lu Zeran.
"I just asked the deputy company commander of their machine gun company. If the co-coordinator calls again and says, their company leader will definitely suspect that I am behind it."
Wang Ke nodded, that was indeed the case.
"Hey, I have it." Deputy company commander Lu Zeran suddenly remembered that Wang Ke was on a business trip. "Wang Ke, can you find one of these two section chiefs and ask them to help you say hello to Coordinator Han?"
"I'm not familiar with them. I'm just on a business trip this time..."
"Let's go, you follow me to the company headquarters, and we'll call the section chief at the company headquarters." The section chief mentioned by Deputy Company Commander Lu Zeran is none other than Ordnance Section Chief Shen Longcheng, who is from the same hometown as Associate Director Han.
"Is that okay? Deputy company commander."
"Sure, no need to be verbose, just listen to me."
Wang Ke followed deputy company commander Lu Zeran to the company headquarters. He checked the home phone number of Ordnance Section Chief Shen Longcheng and dialed it.
When the call was connected, Deputy Company Commander Lu Zeran said: "Chief Shen, this is Lu Zeran of the Artillery Company. Our reconnaissance team is on a business trip with you. Are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied!" On the other end of the phone, Wang Ke could hear the voice of Ordnance Section Chief Shen Longcheng.
Deputy company commander Lu Zeran held the microphone in his hand, tilted his head and smiled at Wang Ke, "Chief Shen, our reconnaissance squad leader Wang Ke has a little thing to ask you to do a favor for!"
"What little thing?"
"I would like you to call our assistant coordinator. There is a recruit in the machine gun company named Gu Maolin. His grandfather is about to pass away. He needs to go home urgently and would like to take five days off."
"Oh, the call is for Lao Han, right? There's no problem with that. I'll call now. Hey, wait a minute, why did you become a soldier of the machine gun company?"
"Oh, that's it. This recruit from the machine gun company recognizes our reconnaissance squad leader Wang Ke as his brother. This afternoon, Gu Maolin saw Wang Ke helping your ordnance section organize the ammunition depot, and saw that you were so kind to Wang Ke. I just want to use your relationship to get through the back door!" Deputy Company Commander Lu Zeran said while winking at Wang Ke, who actually also told a lie.
"Okay, let me give it a try. Call me Gu Maolin. It's only for five days, right?"
"Yes, Wang Ke and I are waiting for you here. If you have news on the phone, let us know."
The commander of the ordnance section was still too proud. Within five minutes, the phone rang, "Lao Lu! Your co-coordinator Han's phone number has been connected, and now the company has been notified to apply for leave. He will approve it as soon as he gets to work tomorrow morning. "
"Thank you so much, Chief Shen. Would you like Wang Ke to say a few words to you?"
"No need. You have sorted out my ammunition depot and armory. This is your greatest gratitude."
"Click" the phone was put down. Wang Ke was so excited that he just giggled at the deputy company commander Lu Zeran!
