Chapter 8

Such laughter cannot last forever.

When the topic gradually dries up, it doesn't have much meaning to force a quarrel and nonsense without words.

Therefore, the four people walked three or four kilometers along the border step by step. During the conversation, the voices of laughter, bullshit and playing noise gradually decreased. Sporadically, only Wei Jiangong's voice was still ringing off and on. It was a border veteran who was briefly introducing the basic situation inside and outside the border to the recruits.

"See the mountain in front?" Wei Jiangong pointed to a tall mountain in front of him and asked Cheng Chong.

"Yes, I have." Cheng Chong who followed quickly nodded and replied.

"Well, what's the name of the mountain? Hey! What's its name!" Wei Jiangong asked and answered himself, and then said, "that's a north-south mountain range, which is also the border between our country and Afghanistan. Along this mountain range, our country is in the East and Afghanistan is in the West."

"Then why don't we go up?" Cheng Chong felt a little strange because they were patrolling along the border all the way. Why not go up this time.

"We only go up in summer and early autumn. We don't want to go up and can't climb up this season. Moreover, it's easy to encounter avalanches this season. But don't worry, the sentries of the Arab three countries can't go up." Wei Jiangong smiled and said calmly.

"Avalanche? What is avalanche?" Cheng Chong heard of such a new term for the first time.

"Avalanche! Avalanche is --" Wei Jiangong couldn't think of a suitable word to describe the avalanche.

"An avalanche is simply a snow collapse. When it snows, when the snow becomes thicker and heavier, it may cause an avalanche when the internal cohesion of the snow cannot resist the gravity of the snow itself; when it melts, due to the unbalanced melting of the snow or the melting of the snow under it, it may cause an avalanche; At ordinary times, the thick snow is shaken, which may also cause avalanches. Therefore, on the snow mountain, especially under the thick snow, don't make any big noise, okay? " When Ma Xiaodong saw that the monitor was stuck, he took the words and said.

"Yes! Listen to your deputy monitor. Your deputy monitor is an avalanche expert!" Wei Jiangong said with a smile. Seeing that the problem was solved, he immediately received an amnesty.

"Let me take you..." Ma Xiaodong held his hands loosely and smiled happily. He took up the post of avalanche expert.

"Oh! Avalanches are like this. It's probably like mudslides!" Cheng Chong nodded vaguely. He was born in the South and only heard of debris flow, so he made random associations.

Then he whispered as if to himself, "but it doesn't matter if you don't go up. There's nothing wrong. Our country hasn't had friendly exchanges with Afghanistan for many years. That's what the news says."

"Ha ha! Sure enough, I'm still a hairy boy. How can I believe the words in the news? It's for others. If you want to know the real news, you have to come to our front line, open your eyes, listen to your ears and feel your heart." Wei Jiangong smiled easily, regardless of his breathing.

Cheng Chong was confused and then asked, "what does the monitor mean?"

Cheng stared straight at the monitor, and the end of his speech was long.

"Decades ago, the Arab three countries were arrogant, bossy, pressing step by step, and gained an inch. They created friction again and again. As a result, they were firmly repaired by us. Now they are much more honest, but when it comes to friendly exchanges, it is a matter at the national level. Our border guards only speak with facts." Wei Jiangong turned back as he spoke, indicating that everyone should pay attention to the road under their feet. His words were very pertinent.

"How about now?" Cheng Chong pretends to be a TV reporter and is determined to break the casserole and ask to the end.

"It's ok now! But a little fuss and a little friction are always necessary." Deputy monitor Ma Xiaodong took over the topic and smiled and said, "in our countryside, villagers often have to fight each other for their homestead and crop land, not to mention the two countries! Isn't it? Hey! It's not a big thing, let alone news. It's not worth mentioning. Naturally, it's not worth those media news reports."

"That's true, but if they dare to engage in friction, we dare to beat him, just like decades ago." Cheng Chong said a little childishly. He said it was resolute. He thought it was so easy to fight.

"At present, the Arab three countries are not worried. What's hateful is a religious extremist force called Yidong organization. Well, they are often called terrorists. These talents are really hateful, these animals." Wei Jiangong dispelled Cheng Chong's worries in a few words. But when it comes to terrorists, his eyes start to get angry.

"What did they do?" Cheng Chong knew little about terrorists. Before he became a soldier, he almost never left their small closed county and knew little about the outside world.

"Touch a whistle, kill people, bewitch people, bully and bully good people, do all kinds of bad things and all kinds of immoral things! It's really bad. How many border guards and people's policemen we have died in their hands." While Wei Jiangong was talking, he picked up a handful of snow from the ground, pinched it into a ball and threw it out.

"Why did these animals do this?" Cheng Chong is also angry and angry. He was originally a man who hated evil as hatred. If the soldiers are like him, they almost don't need those political cadres to mobilize before the war.

"Why? It's not for their selfish and shady purposes. Under the banner of being tall, they do all kinds of activities that harm the good people. This proves their existence, how bad they are, how fucking they are, and how hostile they are to peace." Ma Xiaodong interposed again and scolded fiercely.

"Then why don't we send troops to exterminate them? Kill all of them, have a big meal and stew in one pot. How can we keep them to continue to harm the good people?" Cheng Chong's scholar is still very angry, and even a little blind romanticism.

"Ha ha!" Ma Xiaodong lost his smile and paused, Then he said: "It's easy to say. Who doesn't want to destroy them? Is anyone willing to keep these bastards? However, the premise is that they can be found. They wander around and shoot a gun here and there. It's more casual to go abroad than to go out of the house. When we assemble our troops and prepare to go, they will not be in the territory and disappear. And they are also good at counterfeiting Sometimes they hide among the good people, making it difficult for people to distinguish. "

"Then we can't help it. Can't we find a way to be more active?" Cheng Chong continued to ask.

"Come on, come on, don't ask. You recruit egg, do you have to ask hundreds of thousands of why? Or what? When you become a veteran, you will understand. Well, let's not discuss the animals. Don't talk. Let's save some energy. See? After crossing the depression in front, we'll be close to the end of the patrol. When we get there, we'll see Take a break and replenish your energy. You have to go back! Guys, come on, cheer up! " Wei Jiangong waved his hand covered in his thick gloves, interrupted Cheng Chong's curiosity and doubt, and falsely pointed to a mountain depression road not far in front of him.

Cheng Chong saw that the monitor said so and quickly shut up. Although he had been a soldier for less than half a year, he still had a sense of obedience.

But Comrade Ma Xiaodong is not so honest. He is still talking nonsense while walking. It seems that he was born to quarrel with Wei Jiangong.

"After becoming a veteran, I think it's hanging! This boy has his hair ready to go to our post for exercise. I'm sure he'll say goodbye to us one day. He won't stay here like us. I say you're a recruit. You have to come back to see us often when you're free! OK?" Ma Xiaodong said with a white fog in his mouth.

"Who said that? When I come to our checkpoint, I will always stay here. Unless I take off my military uniform and retire from the army, there is no way. Otherwise, I will stay with you and my brothers." Cheng Chong lowered his head and hurried on without thinking.

"You're playing childish again. What a good thing it is to leave this damn plateau! Don't think that the monitor's brain is short of oxygen after staying on the plateau for ten years. If he's stupid, he doesn't know what fate and future are. I tell you, if the transfer comes, your little son can't delay for a moment. Immediately pack a backpack and get rid of me. Do you know? Although you're a horse class This man often talks nonsense. He is ugly and doesn't speak beautifully. He doesn't say anything serious, but what he said just now is right. You must come back to see us often when you are free. Remember? We must remember our half moon, remember our brothers on the plateau, and remember that we once stirred spoons in a pot. " Wei Jiangong's words vaguely contained a sense of sadness that could not be explained clearly and clearly.

"Yes, the monitor and the deputy are right. You must come back to see us often when you are free." Even veteran Liu, who was silent all the way, spoke like the emperor Lao Tzu, and said the same sad and sad words.

A long time later, when he dreamt back in the middle of the night, Cheng Chong, who couldn't sleep over and over, gradually remembered the true meaning of the words said by the chief and deputy squad leader and veteran Liu, so that he often burst into tears and was devastated.

But at this time, he didn't notice any abnormality at all, not at all!
