The rain stopped falling, the spring thunder continued, and the lightning continued.
After finishing his work, he had dinner and dragged his tired body back to the headquarters. The equipment of all the soldiers in the reconnaissance squad has now been moved to Section Chief Chang Gaofeng's house.
This turned out to be a classroom, the podium had been moved, and the text was still written on the blackboard.
Section Chief Chang slept on the put together desk, while all the soldiers in the reconnaissance squad slept on the floor. Wang Ke, however, was treated better and slept on the floor of the podium, fifteen centimeters higher than the other five warriors.
For more than two days, I slept for less than six hours in total. Now I took advantage of my free time outside to come back and catch up on my sleep.
"Monitor, your letter, and a package."
Gu Maolin lost no time and pushed over a stack of letters, more than twenty in total, and the package looked like a pair of shoes.
"Wow! Monitor, the post office is opened for you." Song Ruimin exclaimed.
Wang Ke opened the first letter, which was a letter of condolences from the company leader. It was through Gu Maolin's report that the company learned about the reconnaissance squad's deeds in Nanshao Village. Wang Ke took a rough look at it and passed it to Song Ruimin for everyone to pass on. Encouragement from the company leader is the best spiritual food, and everyone should enjoy this kind of warmth and care.
Next, Wang Ke looked at the mailing addresses of all incoming letters. The parents’ letter still comes first, with two letters before and after. There were also those from Wu Xiangyu and Ye Qianpian, each of whom sent no less than five letters. There are also letters from the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun, and from the platoon leader Zuo Wei. Hey, there are also three letters from Baocheng No. 1 Middle School.
Wang Ke was very curious and tore open a letter casually. There were still elegant handwriting on the letter.
My most beloved brother Wang Ke, you must be very busy. I don’t want you to reply to my letter, so I haven’t told you who I am? If you can sense it, I am unknown. If you are not aware of it yet, then it will be your secret.
I really, really like you, you are the pursuit and motivation of my life. When the college entrance examination resumes this year, I will work hard and follow your example. When I am admitted to college, I will go to you with a notice.
…
What is rhythm? Wang Ke was stunned when he saw this inexplicable letter. Who is this girl? I have received several letters so far, but I never expect to reply to them.
The longing expressed in the letter was as thick as glue and as sweet as honey, but I didn't even know who she was. It couldn't be a high school student who admired soldiers, and it certainly didn't look like someone was playing a prank.
The three letters all have similar contents. I don’t have such a friend. Could it be that the ghostly and elf Ye Xianzhang deliberately made a little evil to test himself?
Thinking of this, Wang Ke quickly opened Ye Pianqian's latest letter. This letter was not sent through the post office, but directly to the company. Wang Ke stood up in shock when he saw it. Ye Xianxuan said in the letter that she and Professor Wen had indeed arrived at Lettuce Village. They were cleaning the river there, but they didn't find any valuable clues. They dug down more than ten meters deep just for the sediment. In this flood, if Bald Valley Maolin hadn't called the police in time, the whole army would have been almost wiped out.
Ye Xianqian's letter was all about work and almost no love for children. Wang Ke liked to read this kind of letter.
In his mind, he thought of the amiable Professor Wen and Professor Ye Rongguang again. There were already three treasures in his empty cannon shell box: the volcanic stone, which he wanted to give to Professor Wen, and his own copper bowl and pipe rod. It's a pity that those rubbings have been sent away. I will wait until I return to Sha Guoding and make new rubbings.
Wang Ke fell into deep thought unknowingly. Professor Wen went to Xishan not to clean up the old routes, but to search for ancient river channels and those merchant ships that had sunk.
Should you tell him to come here to Nanshao Village? I wonder if the marks he and Gu Maolin made that day are still there? If it comes, it will conflict with the county's river cleanup plan. There are too many treasures hidden under this Xishan Mountain. I am not afraid that you will look for them, but I am afraid that you will not find them.
"Monitor, monitor." Gu Maolin's voice sounded from the pillow. "Monitor, are you asleep?"
"What's the matter?" Wang Ke felt a little annoyed when he heard Gu Maolin calling him. This Gu Maolin is good at everything, but he doesn't understand current affairs and doesn't know how to care for others.
"I want to tell you something?"
"Let's talk tomorrow."
"Don't blame me if you forget tomorrow."
"Then you stand guard and replace some of the comrades in our class." Wang Ke said this sincerely. Everyone was exhausted these days, but Gu Maolin's next words made Wang Ke jump to his feet.
"There's no problem with the squad leader standing guard. I mainly want to talk to you. When the assault boat came back just now, I saw a boat under the water."
"over there?"
"It's not far from where we found the mark that day."
"Isn't it the same place we found?"
"No, but this ship is a little strange."
"What's weird?"
"It seems to be a cargo ship. There is a lot of stuff in it, and there seems to be gold and silver treasures."
"Fuck, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"You didn't ask me either. Didn't I tell you right away?"
"Have you told anyone else about this?"
"No, if it's gold and silver, we'll fish it out."
"Go away! Let me tell you Gu Maolin, if you dare to have any evil thoughts, I will peel off your skin and make you a boiled Gu Maolin."
"Okay, monitor, I'll listen to you. What do you think we should do?"
"In this case, I will write a letter first. You will return by assault boat tomorrow and go to the engineering team cleaning the river in Lettuce Village. Find a person named Ye Pianpian and give this letter to her."
"Squad leader, is this the beautiful girl who came to see you last time?" Gu Maolin did not come into contact with Ye Pianpian that time, but only saw him from a distance.
"Go away! I'll finish writing the letter later. Will you accompany me to see the location?"
"Squad leader, the flood there is still relatively deep. Even if the water recedes, you can't see the boat clearly. It's still buried under the sand, but it's already very shallow."
"I know."
"Squad leader, let me ask you one more thing. Is it true that you were cured of your vomiting blood by drinking the blood of that black donkey?"
"Yeah, you won't have bad intentions again, will you?"
"No, no, but since that donkey can grow donkey treasures, its blood is also very precious and has a certain tonic effect. I will make a bowl of it sometime."
"Go away! Gu Maolin, I'm warning you, don't let me hear this in the future. I'll punish you every time I hear it! I'll let that donkey kick you to death!"
Gu Maolin immediately shut up, and Wang Ke began to write a letter.
Seeing that Wang Ke had finished writing the letter, Gu Maolin asked again: "Squad leader, why didn't you read those dozen letters of yours?"
"Can't you look back and see?" Wang Ke scolded him.
"But I heard the beautiful woman who delivered the letter said, what's the surprise? You must read her letter first."
"You talk too much nonsense. Come on, let's go take a look at that position and put up the lantern." Wang Ke's flashlight was dropped into the water by Uncle Dong Pianfang that time, and now he can only carry the lantern.
The two of them walked out of the back door of the elementary school one after another and came to the place where the Zodiac was parked in the afternoon. "Hey, the squad leader is over there! It's about a kilometer away from us."
"Can you still find the place?"
"I'll definitely find it."
Wang Ke saw that the water under his feet had not receded much. At this rate, it would take at least three to four days. "Maolin, this matter is not trivial. Keep your mouth shut. When you deliver the letter tomorrow, Teacher Ye will definitely ask you to lead the way when he sees my letter. You will then be responsible for bringing them to Nanshao Village, no? Don’t say what needs to be said!”
"Yes! Monitor, but what things should not be said?"
"You really talk too much. Stop talking about me."
"Understood, monitor, I will never say a word, including about you vomiting blood." Gu Maolin's mind was spinning rapidly. He had now determined that the monitor was inseparable and was talking to Teacher Ye. The monitor didn't want to let him go. She was worried.
If it weren't for this flood, the "Perak Surveying and Mapping Team" would have left Nanshao Village long ago. It was this flood that made Wang Ke once again form an indissoluble bond with Nanshao Village.
Be a sunflower, face the sunshine with a smile every day, and live your most brilliant self. Only when you stand where the sun shines will you not envy other people's scenery. This will prevent your soul from becoming empty in the darkness.
Without further ado, Counselor Sun and Director Cui arrived as scheduled the next day. This time they brought vegetables from three assault boats, as well as some flood fighting and rescue tools, including some kerosene.
As soon as Staff Officer Sun saw Wang Ke, he immediately conveyed the instructions of the Youth League Party Committee to him: "Squad Leader Wang Ke, the Youth League Party Committee commended your squad for its performance in Nanshao Village and asked me to tell you that Nanshao Village was the most severely affected. , you must keep your mission in mind, never forget the purpose of our army, put the interests of the people first, and live and die with all the fellow villagers in Nanshao Village! Winning the final victory in flood fighting and disaster relief."
"Yes! Please rest assured, head of the regiment, we will definitely complete the mission! We vow to live and die with Nanshao Village!" Behind Wang Ke, there were five soldiers in the class.
"Squad leader Wang Ke, your class has made great contributions to our regiment this time. The People's Government of Dingxian County also sent a letter to our troops, praising and thanking you for your work. I hope your class will continue to work hard and strive to achieve success in flood fighting and disaster relief." New work!"
"Yes! Our entire class will definitely follow the requirements of the chief and county leaders, unite the villagers of Nanshao Village, stay on the front line of flood relief, and ensure all the tasks assigned by the chief and leaders."
"Okay, after you finish unloading these supplies, we will return immediately. We will also go to rescue other villages upstream."
"Comrade Sun, our Comrade Gu Maolin has to deliver a very important letter. Can we return by assault boat?"
"Okay, let him prepare, and we can set off right away." After saying that, Staff Officer Sun stepped forward and lowered his voice: "Wang Ke, why is your matter known to the entire army? This morning, Deputy Commander Qin called specifically Call us and tell us to bring you a message, be sure to pay attention to safety and come back alive!"
Wang Ke was stunned for a moment, even though he guessed that Qin Hu must have told his father. But the call from Deputy Commander Qin still made Wang Ke excited. Being missed is not only a happy thing, but also a kind of care, a responsibility, and a deep friendship.
"Thank you, chief. Please tell Deputy Commander Qin that we must pay attention to safety. Together with the fellow villagers of Nanshao Village, we can get out of this flood circle, be self-reliant, and rebuild our homes."
