Back in the woods, Gao Jie immediately stepped forward to complain to Li Xiang, "Li Xiang, what are you doing? We have been waiting for you for a long time."
Li Xiang took out the garlic from his pocket and showed it to everyone, "Look, what is this?"
"Hey! Isn't this just garlic? What do I think it is? What's there to show off?"
Gao Jie despised the garlic Li Xiang brought out.
"Do you know what I got all this garlic for?" Li Xiang said.
"What for?" The three of them looked at Li Xiang curiously.
"In case a leader discovers us, we just need to eat the garlic, and the leader will not be able to smell the alcohol in our mouths." Li Xiang told everyone his intention.
"Tch! Is it necessary? After we finish drinking, we just don't go back to the company. We can wait until the alcohol wears off and then go back to the company." Gao Jie thought Li Xiang was unnecessary.
"I don't want to be caught by the company commander for drinking. We must be careful." Li Xiang said very seriously.
"Okay, in order to drink with you, brother, everything is up to you." Gao Jie helplessly punched Li Xiang on the shoulder.
Later, for safety reasons, Li Xiang took the three of them to an abandoned room in the camp. They sat on the floor and began to eat meat and drink heavily.
"Oh! The wine smells so good!"
It's been a long time since he drank. The moment he opened the beer, Li Xiang had a very intoxicated look on his face.
"Come, for the sake of our friendship, let's take a bite first." Gao Jie first raised the can and said to everyone with great pride.
As soon as Gao Jie said this, everyone immediately started a drinking atmosphere. In response to Gao Jie's call, the four people immediately raised the cans in their hands, touched each other, and then drank heavily.
"Come on, come on, let's not only drink, we also have to fix the chicken legs."
After drinking, Gao Jie quickly took out the chicken drumsticks he bought, divided one into each person, and started to eat it with big mouthfuls. Then, the four of them drank and chatted in the dilapidated house, living a comfortable life.
Just as the four of them were drinking to their heart's content, Wang Chao, who was passing by, suddenly heard something moving inside the house and immediately lay quietly outside the window to look inside.
"Good guy, Li Xiang actually gathered people here to drink. Their behavior is against military discipline. I have to tell the company commander quickly. The revenge for taking away the training pacesetter last time has not been avenged. I finally caught him today. .”
Thinking of this, Wang Chao immediately ran back to the company.
…
"Report!"
Arriving at the company headquarters office, Wang Chao reported to the company commander sitting inside.
"Come in." The company commander was dealing with official duties and didn't care which recruit came to look for him.
"Company Commander, I found Li Xiang secretly drinking beer." As soon as Wang Chao entered the door, he immediately reported to the company commander.
The company commander looked up and saw that it was Wang Chao. He knew that Wang Chao and Li Xiang were mortal enemies, and the company commander did not pay much attention to Wang Chao's one-sided words.
"Wang Chao, do you have any evidence?"
"Yes." Wang Chao replied decisively.
"where?"
Hearing Wang Chao say there was evidence, the company commander was really angry.
"Company commander, come with me, I know where they are drinking."
The company commander stood up doubtfully and followed Wang Chao out.
…
At this time, Li Xiang and the others had finished drinking their beers and were chatting happily. Because Li Xiang was more alert, he always glanced out the window intentionally or unintentionally. Suddenly, Li Xiang found that the company commander was walking towards him, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose.
"Quick, hide the beer cans, the company commander is here."
As soon as Li Xiang said that the company commander was coming, everyone was very nervous. Liu Gang jumped up from the ground, quickly crushed all four cans, and threw them into the grass outside the window.
"Li Xiang, what should we do now?"
Everyone was in a panic, except Li Xiang who was very calm.
"Come on, let's each eat a piece of garlic. When the company commander comes later, we will insist that we haven't drank. After eating garlic, the company commander can't smell the smell of alcohol anyway."
Li Xiang distributed garlic to everyone very calmly.
"Huh? How uncomfortable it would be to eat raw garlic."
Gao Jie looked at the garlic that Li Xiang handed him, but he still didn't dare to eat it.
"Gao Jie, eat quickly. If you don't eat, you will be too late as soon as the company commander comes in."
Li Xiang was really worried when he saw that Gao Jie was still refusing to eat garlic. He was afraid that Gao Jie would be caught by the company commander and later expose himself.
"I……."
Gao Jie wanted to speak, but Li Xiang stuffed the garlic into Gao Jie's mouth without hesitation, because the company commander was about to come in.
"Li Xiang, you..."
Gao Jie chewed the garlic bitterly and pointed at Li Xiang. He couldn't curse even if he wanted to.
At this moment, the company commander walked in quickly. However, Li Xiang and the four of them had already cleared away all the evidence.
"Li Xiang, Gao Jie, Li Erniu, and Liu Gang, what are you four doing in this room?"
Seeing the sneaky looks of the four people, the company commander guessed that they must be up to no good.
"Report to the company commander, we saw that this room is a bit dirty, and we would like to come over and clean it. Isn't the company calling on everyone to imitate Lei Feng?"
Li Xiang answered first, fearing that others would spill the beans.
"Oh, let's learn from Lei Feng. What about your brooms?"
"Company commander, we are preparing to go back to the company to apply with you."
Li Xiang's answer was impeccable, leaving the company commander unable to find any fault. At this time, Wang Chao was not idle either. His eyes were wandering around, looking for beer cans on the ground, but he couldn't find them.
"Company Commander, I really saw them drinking just now. If you don't believe me, you can smell their mouths." Wang Chao said unconvinced. Although the beer cans could not be found, Wang Chao would never let go of this opportunity. After all, he had just seen Li Xiang and the four of them drinking with his own eyes.
"Good guy, it turns out that Wang Chao discovered that he was drinking. No wonder the company commander found this place. It was Wang Chao who invited the company commander here."
When Wang Chao, who was behind the company commander, stood up to speak, Li Xiang understood why the company commander suddenly appeared here.
After listening to Wang Chao's suggestion, the company commander stepped forward, put his nose to Li Xiang's mouth and smelled it. Instantly, a pungent smell of garlic hit him, and he almost made the company commander vomit.
"Li Xiang, have you eaten garlic?" the company commander asked.
"Um."
Li Xiang does not deny it, because eating garlic is not illegal or disciplinary, and there is no rule in the company against eating garlic. Besides, the smell of garlic was very strong and unpleasant, and it covered the smell of beer, so the company commander couldn't tell whether Li Xiang had been drinking.
Then, the company commander smelled the mouths of the other three people. Without exception, they all had eaten garlic and could not smell the beer.
"How come all four of you have eaten garlic?"
"Hahaha..., we all learned from the squad leader." Li Xiang responded with a smile.
The company commander always felt a little strange that the four of them ate garlic at the same time. Maybe it was just like Wang Chao said, the four of them drank, and then in order to cover up the fact, the four of them chose to eat garlic to cover up the smell of alcohol. However, without any evidence now, there is no way to catch them.
"Well, since the four of you plan to imitate Lei Feng, I will provide you with brooms later, so you can clean this place." The company commander seemed to think that this punishment was not severe enough, and then said: "This place has been cleaned. , and by the way, clean our company’s toilet as well, and I’ll leave the toilet hygiene to the four of you next week.”
When the company commander said that they would have to clean the toilet for a week, Li Xiang and the four of them were dumbfounded. It was not worth it just because they took a sip of wine.
Wang Chao, who was standing aside, looked at the embarrassment of Li Xiang and the four of them very proudly. Although he did not catch them, Wang Chao felt that it was very satisfying to let them endure such punishment.
The company commander was about to leave when he suddenly discovered that Wang Chao was also nearby, so he then said to Wang Chao: "Wang Chao, why don't you clean the toilet with them? Do you want to learn from Lei Feng and do good deeds?"
Hearing these words from the company commander, Wang Chao immediately stopped laughing.
"Company commander, but I have something to do next week." Wang Chao wanted to find an excuse to evade.
"What's the matter? What's more important than learning from Lei Feng? No matter how important it is, you have to put it aside first and finish cleaning the toilet."
The company commander looked at Wang Chao very sternly and rejected Wang Chao's excuse.
