"Tonight, I woke everyone up urgently to deal with the two deserters in our company." The company commander began to get into the topic, "Now, everyone will express their opinions and discuss how to deal with these two recruits. "
"Company commander, can I ask the names of these two recruits?"
The squad leader asked cautiously, fearing to anger the company commander again.
"Li Xiang and Li Mingguo, I never dreamed that Li Xiang would become a deserter."
The company commander replied angrily.
"What? It's the two of them."
The company commander's answer surprised the first squad leader, and also shocked the other squad leaders in the company. After all, Li Xiang's performance on weekdays was pretty good.
"Company Commander, are you mistaken? It is absolutely impossible for Li Xiang to become a deserter. As for Little Fatty, I dare not say, but Li Xiang, I dare to guarantee my personality, he will definitely not become a deserter. "
The first squad leader thought that the company commander had misunderstood and hurriedly defended Li Xiang.
"Don't talk to me about these useless things, and you even vouch for my character. It's useless for anyone to vouch for it. Were they caught by the sentries at the night patrol, or were they caught outside the courtyard wall, how could you tell them Explain, if you can, explain it to the battalion commander."
It's okay not to say it, but when the squad leader said this, the company commander became even more angry.
"What? The matter has already been brought to the battalion commander?"
I heard from the company commander that the battalion commander knew about it, and the squad leader knew that this matter was serious.
"Then..., what does the battalion commander want to do?"
The squad leader knew that things were irreversible.
"It's just six words. It must be dealt with seriously. I was even scolded by the battalion commander." After saying that, the company commander glared at the squad leader again.
At this time, the squad leader lowered his head and stopped talking. He knew that nothing he could say now would work and he could only wait for the company headquarters' decision.
After some discussion, the company headquarters finally decided to confine Li Xiang and Xiaopang for seven days. During the confinement period, each squad leader took turns to monitor the two to prevent accidents between the two in the confinement room. After the decision was announced, Li Xiang and Xiaopang were taken into the solitary room that night, and were supervised by the squad leader on the first day.
When the three of them were on their way to the solitary room, Li Xiang and Xiaopang kept their heads down and said nothing. Seeing that the two of them were silent, the squad leader had no choice but to ask.
"Tell me, what happened to you two? Why did the company commander say that you two were caught by patrolling sentries outside the courtyard wall? Also, how did you two climb over the courtyard wall?"
"Squad leader, I want to go home. I don't want to stay in the army anymore. Please let me go." Xiaopang answered unabashedly.
After hearing Xiaopang's answer, the squad leader realized that it turned out that Xiaopang's desertion was an idea he had been harboring in his mind for a long time. However, Li Xiang was also considered a deserter, which he really couldn't figure out.
"Li Xiang, what about you?"
A squad leader then asked Li Xiang.
"me……."
Li Xiang didn't know how to answer, but Xiaopang suddenly rushed to speak.
"Monitor, I'm sorry to Brother Xiang. Just let Brother Xiang go and don't put him in solitary confinement. This incident all happened because of me. Brother Xiang did nothing wrong. He followed me because he wanted me not to make a mistake. Climbed over the courtyard wall."
Unexpectedly, at this time, Xiaopang is quite loyal and knows how to take responsibility and not harm others.
At this time, the confusion in the mind of the squad leader was finally solved. However, it is useless even if he knows the truth. Li Xiang should be put in solitary confinement, and he must be put in solitary confinement. This is a fatal order from the battalion commander.
"Let's go, you two just stay in the confinement room for a week, reflect on it, and don't make such a serious mistake again in the future. This confinement is light. If you go to the military court, then you Our whole lives are over."
Li Xiang knew that such a result was inevitable, because in the battalion commander's office, the company commander had already worked hard and could only accept the reality.
The solitary room is located in a low-rise house in the southeast corner of the camp. It is a small room, less than ten square meters, with no windows on all sides, and it is pitch black inside, not even a shadow can be seen.
The squad leader unlocked the door and pushed open the heavy iron door. A strong stench instantly came out, and from time to time there were several mice crawling around on the ground.
"Monitor, there's not even a bed here, where should we sleep?"
Through the light of the squad leader's flashlight, Li Xiang found that the solitary room was empty and there was nothing.
"That bed board is where you two sleep."
Li Xiang looked in the direction of the squad leader's finger. There was indeed a bed board, but there was not even a quilt on it. In addition, in such a humid environment, people cannot lie down to sleep and can only sit. In this way, in a few days, people will be tortured to the point where they are no longer human.
"Monitor, there's not even a quilt on the bed board, how can I sleep at night?" Li Xiang asked in confusion.
"What are you thinking about? You are here for confinement, not for vacation, you know." The squad leader said angrily, "Everyone, go in and reflect on it."
With that said, the squad leader closed the door and locked it.
The moment the door of the confinement room closed, it suddenly became dark inside the confinement room, without even a trace of moonlight. Suddenly, Li Xiang thought of another question and hurriedly asked the squad leader.
"Squad leader, how do we deal with eating and peeing on a daily basis?"
The squad leader opened a small food delivery port on the iron door and said: "Meal will be delivered through this window every day. Someone will come to deliver you three meals a day. As for peeing, there is a wooden bucket at the corner. Just deal with it inside. When you feel uncomfortable, knock on the iron door a few times and someone will come over."
After saying that, the squad leader closed the food delivery port and found a place to rest and sit down.
According to what the squad leader said, Li Xiang found a barrel at the corner. Li Xiang casually opened the lid of the barrel, and suddenly a strong stench hit him, which almost killed him. Oh my gosh! It would be strange if he didn't go crazy after staying in this solitary room for a week.
At this time, Xiaopang had not said a word since he entered the room. He just paced back and forth in the confinement room, repeating "I want to go home" in his mouth.
In a blink of an eye, on the second day, a squad leader came to deliver meals. Opening the small window of the meal delivery port, a squad leader delivered two lunch boxes. Li Xiang quickly took the lunch box and ate the breakfast in the lunch box. After a hard night's sleep without a good night's sleep, Li Xiang was already starving.
However, Xiaopang didn't eat breakfast at this moment, and kept talking about wanting to go home.
"Little Fatty, hurry up and finish your breakfast. It's not okay if you don't eat. As long as you insist on it for a week, you can go out."
Li Xiang persuaded Xiaopang.
However, Li Xiang's persuasion didn't work. Xiaopang was still pacing back and forth as before. Seeing this, Li Xiang had no choice but to eat his own food. After eating, he leaned against the wall and waited for the day to pass.
Soon, the first day was spent in boredom and anxiety. At night, Li Xiang couldn't bear the dark environment and small space. He became very restless and wanted to hit the wall. impulse.
"Is there anyone outside? Monitor, I can't stand it anymore. I'm going crazy. Please help me."
Li Xiang knocked on the iron door and begged the squad leader.
Hearing the knocking on the iron door, a squad leader hurried over and opened the small door of the food delivery port.
"Li Xiang, what's going on?"
"Squad leader, if I stay in this environment where I can't see the sun, I'm going to go crazy. Please let me out."
Li Xiang knelt on the ground, begging the squad leader almost to the point of collapse.
The squad leader had already guessed Li Xiang's performance because this was a stage that all people in confinement must go through. The most difficult thing about being in confinement is the psychological pressure. Being alone, lonely, without anyone to care about you, and the small space makes people a little scared. The squad leader did not expect that Li Xiang's reaction would come so quickly, so he had to find a way to get Li Xiang out of the predicament.
