"Then have you talked to him?" Wang Ke turned around and asked.
"Platoon leader, we talked, but this guy didn't say a word." Song Ruimin hurriedly ran two steps and stood side by side with Wang Ke.
"Go back today and continue talking."
"yes!"
When they arrived at the big rock again, Wang Ke took out his pocket watch and saw that it was less than twenty minutes. At the current speed, the whole platoon could run five kilometers in less than twenty minutes. The fastest telephone class had all entered. Within eighteen minutes.
This pocket watch has been working well since it was adjusted yesterday. When I checked the time with the old squad leader Huang Zhonghe, it has only been less than a minute in the past ten hours.
Turn around and run back. Back at the entrance of the village, everyone in the command platoon climbed a tree again before being brought back to each squad station.
Upon returning to the courtyard, Wang Ke found that the entire courtyard was very clean, and all the members of the reconnaissance team had filled their washbasins with water for washing.
This must have been done by Wang Mingsheng, but Wang Mingsheng was not in the room. Wang Ke turned around and said to Song Ruimin: "Did Wang Mingsheng go to the kitchen?"
"Let me take a look." Song Ruimin turned around and went directly to the kitchen. At the same time, he also wanted to find the sergeant and tell him to help him buy materials for making pins when the troops went to pull coal.
After washing up, the troops' wake-up whistle was sounded. According to past practice, the troops had to go out for drills, but the command platoon had finished running ten kilometers, so there was no need for any more drills.
After everyone finished tidying up the housework, each picked up a maza and started studying.
Wang Ke took advantage of this time to see if the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun was back? Not far out of the courtyard, Wang Ke saw the landlord, Uncle Geng, also carrying a basket and walking in front with a shovel in his hand.
Farmers here still maintain the habit of "picking up dung". Among all dung, pig dung is the best, followed by cow dung, donkey dung, and horse dung. The collected manure will be dumped into the pig pen together.
"Uncle Geng, you are picking up manure."
"Yes, Platoon Commander Xiao Wang, where are you going?"
"I'll go to the company headquarters and see if the old platoon leader is back?"
"Oh, Platoon Leader Xiao Wang, you're busy first, I'll go for a spin." After saying that, Uncle Geng continued to walk forward.
Looking at Uncle Geng's back, Wang Ke suddenly remembered something. I came to Longquanzhuang, but never went to see the imperial mausoleum. Isn't it a pity? When I get old in the future, when I recall Longquanzhuang, except for my eagle mouth, there really is nothing worth bragging about.
No, we must think of a way to ask Uncle Geng to take him and the reconnaissance team to the imperial mausoleum to the west of Zhuangzi.
When we arrived at the company headquarters, hygienist Yu Deben was taking his correspondent to clean the small courtyard. After Xiao Hou got off work, another correspondent named Bai came. He was a soldier in the same place as Digua Liang Xiaolong, and he was not very familiar with Wang Ke.
"Lao Yu, has Staff Hu come back?" Wang Ke stepped forward to say hello enthusiastically.
When he saw it was Wang Ke, health worker Yu Deben immediately stopped what he was doing and said with a smile: "Commander platoon leader, Lao Kezi, how was your visit to the city yesterday?"
"Lao Yu, don't be joking. I don't have time to play. I just bought some things."
"What are they? Are they those pencil cases? You old Ke, how could you never imagine how many soldiers we have in our company?" The health worker Yu Deben was so familiar with him that he was not polite at all. All veterans now like to call Wang Ke behind their backs. As "Lao Kezi".
"Come on, the deputy company commander has made arrangements for the whole company. Don't worry." Wang Ke laughed and wanted to leave.
"Wait a minute, Lao Kezi, don't be too busy leaving. I want to tell you that your landlord is the keeper of the tomb. Find a time to talk and let's go take a look together."
When he heard that the health worker also had this intention, Wang Ke immediately opened his eyes. Rather than bringing a few people in, there shouldn't be any problem, but it seems that the whole company wants to go in and have a look, and it's not just the hygienist.
"Old Yu, you have been here at Longquanzhuang for such a long time and have never gone in to see it?"
"You, old Kezi, can't stand and talk without your back hurting. How can we have time? We are so busy all day long."
"Okay, Lao Yu, you wait for my letter, I will talk to the landlord earlier." As he said that, Wang Ke unconsciously took out his pocket watch from his upper left pocket to check the time.
"Wait a minute, Lao Kezi, you are equipped with a new weapon, let me take a look." As he spoke, health worker Yu Deben stretched out his hand, took off the watch chain, and looked at it carefully.
Hygienist Yu Deben was considered a cultured person among his comrades back then, and he still had a lot to offer. He took a look at the bronze pocket watch and immediately fell in love with it.
"This is a foreign product! How much did you spend on it?"
"I told you, I'm afraid you won't believe it. Five yuan plus two yuan for burning." Wang Ke was very proud.
"That's it, let's switch and let me play for a while." As he said that, the hygienist Yu Deben took off the plum blossom watch on his hand. Note that this is a local plum blossom, not an imported plum blossom. But at that time, a plum blossom watch also cost eighty or ninety yuan, which was equivalent to the annual allowance of a veteran who had been in the army for three years.
"Yes, I won't change it. If I break your plum blossom watch, I can't afford to pay for it. I'm just on duty to keep track of the time. Of course, if you are willing to trade your plum blossom watch with me, then I'm still willing."
When the hygienist Yu Deben heard this, he immediately hesitated. He really couldn't bear it. In fact, if he had gritted his teeth and replaced it at that time, he would have made a lot of money, and many things would not have happened later. You know, this bronze pocket watch without even a trademark would be worth 200,000 yuan 40 years later. More.
"You old Kezi just want to take advantage of others. Forget it, I'll give it back to you."
Wang Ke hung the watch chain on the buttonhole on his left chest, closed the cover of the bronze pocket watch with a click, and put it into his pocket. Then he raised his chin and said, "Old Yu, let me tell you, there won't be that store after passing this village. Don't regret it in the future."
"Come on, is your broken pocket watch worth my regret? Hey, Lao Kezi, when do you have time, tell me about the eagle mouth."
When Wang Ke heard this, he turned around and wanted to leave. He didn't want to instigate this matter. Now many soldiers in the company know that he and Gu Maolin encountered a golden cobra at the eagle's mouth. This is an anecdote for the ages, and everyone wants to hear it from Wang Ke himself.
"Command the platoon leader." Deputy company commander Lu Zeran heard the sound and walked out of the room. He waved to Wang Ke. "Come, come to me."
Wang Ke immediately stopped, saluted deputy company commander Lu Zeran from a distance, and then ran over. "Deputy company commander, is something wrong?"
The company headquarters has three rooms in total, with the main room to the north and a row of side rooms to the east and west. To the north is the company headquarters. The company commander himself lives on the west side, and instructor Ding and deputy company commander Lu Zeran live on the east side.
As for the row house on the west side, the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun lives on the southwest side, and on the north side are the company's correspondents, buglers, health workers and clerks.
Entering the company headquarters and arriving at the fire kang on the east side, deputy company commander Lu Zeran was alone. He was still studying the map on the opposite side.
"Commander platoon commander, please help me see if I have determined the location of the poisonous lake accurately?"
Wang Ke stretched his head and took a look, moved the position on the map about one centimeter to the southwest, and then said: "Deputy company commander, are you still thinking about the poisonous lake?"
"It seems that my homework on the picture is still not working. This poisonous lake, I feel, should be in action soon."
"Deputy company commander, don't worry, I'll arrange for Song Ruimin to come and help your company headquarters later, and focus on working hard." The two people were talking when they suddenly heard a noise coming from the yard, and then someone shouted: "Hygienist, Hurry and take a look, there is a mad dog over there, biting people!"
As soon as they heard that a mad dog had bitten someone, deputy company commanders Lu Zeran and Wang Ke immediately rushed to the yard.
"Who was bitten? Is it one of our soldiers?" Deputy Company Commander Lu Zeran asked eagerly.
Hygienist Yu Deben was already carrying a medicine box on his back and ran out of the room on the west side. As he ran, he said, "No, it seems to be a fellow who picks up feces. And the mad dog is still there and can't be controlled."
When Wang Ke heard this, he thought it was okay. Looking around the yard, he saw an iron hairpin leaning against the corner of the house. It was usually used for forking grass. He ran over, picked up the iron hairpin and chased it out.
Everyone knows that mad dogs must be eliminated, otherwise if they are bitten by one, they will be afraid of nothing but rabies. This thing will cause endless troubles.
When Wang Ke and health worker Yu Deben were chasing Zhuang Xi, there were several young people and soldiers from two artillery platoons in Zhuangzi, some carrying shovels and some carrying poles, running forward together.
Everyone kept running along the road, and saw two people on the stone path in front of the imperial mausoleum, with their backs to the rising sun, waving a shovel and a dung basket, confronting a mad dog. And behind them is the three-hole stone bridge on the stone road in front of the mausoleum.
Wang Ke quickly surpassed Yu Deben and caught up with the soldier running at the front. This soldier only had a short stick in his hand. He was not watching the show, but wanted to get rid of the vicious dog. Wang Ke shouted as he ran: "Get behind me, let me be in front."
The soldier glanced back and said, "Platoon leader, it's okay. Just hit the dog on the head. Others may not work."
This voice seemed familiar, and when I looked again, it turned out to be Wang Mingsheng. This kid is not in the class, but he came here. "Then please be careful and cooperate with me."
"yes!"
Although a few young people came, not many actually dared to fight the mad dog. Many people still come to watch the fun.
Running to the tomb in one breath, Wang Ke saw clearly that the two people confronting the mad dog were a peasant woman and the landlord, Uncle Geng.
The mad dog bared its teeth and roared in a low voice, showing no fear of the shovel wielded by Uncle Geng or the crowd coming from behind.
"Uncle Geng, be careful, we will deal with it." Wang Ke rushed forward with an iron hairpin in hand, but Wang Mingsheng was not afraid at all, waving a short stick, and ran in front of Wang Ke again.
The mad dog turned around, baring a row of canine teeth, and stared at the rushing Wang Ke and Wang Mingsheng with its two blood-red eyes.
Wang Ke was about to move forward when he suddenly felt the pocket on his right chest bulging. He lowered his head and saw that there was a snake in his pocket, scurrying around inside. Wang Ke covered it with his right hand, which was the square domino mahjong "Yaoji".
Wang Ke quickly let go of his hand, turned to hold the handle of the iron hairpin, and rushed over.
At this time, the mad dog suddenly seemed to be possessed by a demon or seeing a ghost. He closed his eyes, howled, tucked his tail, turned around and wanted to run away.
But it was too late. Wang Ke had already rushed forward and pushed the mad dog to the ground with a single stroke of his hairpin. Two of the teeth of the hairpin just jammed the upper body and one leg of the mad dog, making it unable to move.
As for Wang Mingsheng, he grabbed the short stick, pointed it at the mad dog's nose, and hit it five or six times in a row. Dog blood immediately poured out of the mad dog's nose. The mad dog gradually straightened his legs.
The crowd swarmed forward, smashing shovels and poles at him, until they saw that the mad dog was dead.
Over there, health worker Yu Deben had bandaged up the peasant woman, and two young men were already supporting her, preparing to go to the town to get vaccinated.
Wang Ke turned around, let go of Tie Chai, looked at Uncle Geng and asked, "Uncle Geng, are you okay?"
