Liu Bing had often taken the initiative to go to the platoon leader's room to clean up. After every day's meal, he would be the first one to run to the platoon leader's room with a rag in his hand. This made Hou Yongdong feel very gratified, even praising him during the class reunion, but Shao felt that there was something fishy about it.

On this day, Liu Bing suddenly mysteriously said to Shao Xi, "Shao Xi, do you want to smoke?"

"Yes, but without cigarettes, the platoon leader has already confiscated all the cigarettes. Don't you know that the recruits are not allowed to smoke?" Shao Xi thought, "Did this Liu Bing get a cigarette?" Honestly speaking, cigarettes were a great treasure to these new recruits. Being able to secretly smoke a cigarette was even more comfortable than being a god. Sometimes, Shao Xi passed the platoon leader's room and saw the squad leaders puffing in it. He was extremely envious of them, and wished that he could become a veteran as soon as possible. That way, he would be eligible to smoke.

"Follow me!" Liu Bing inexplicably pulled Shao Xi by the hand. Shao Xi doubtfully followed behind and went straight to the basement.

Liu Bing smiled mysteriously and pulled out a small plastic bag from behind the radiator against the wall. Shao Xi opened it and was shocked to find that it was full of broken cigarette butts, dozens of them. "Although it's just a cigarette butt, it's still enough to relieve the addiction. Let's make do with it. As a veteran, we won't have to worry about not having enough cigarettes!" Liu Bing picked up a cigarette that had more than half of it left. She rubbed the tip of the cigarette with her hand, put it in her mouth, and lit it.

"Where did you get so many cigarette butts?" Shao asked, puzzled.

"In the platoon leader's room, you didn't see me cleaning up every day. If it wasn't for the sake of understanding the tobacco addiction, I wouldn't have done that kind of thing to lower my price!" Liu Bing happily blew out smoke rings, picked out a long cigarette for Shao Xi and handed it to him.

"It's been a long time since I've smoked. Shao Xi is indeed a little greedy. He doesn't even care about the cigarette. He leaned his head forward and Liu Bing lit it for him." "Well, the taste is not bad, right? Although it's four yuan a bag of red plums, which is of a lower grade, it's still not bad!" Liu Bing praised while enjoying the stimulation from the nicotine.

Shao Xi finally understood the real reason Liu Bing was working so hard. It turned out that this brat had used the excuse of cleaning to go to the long line to pick up cigarette butts. This guy, he really was him! However, Shao Xi was still a little grateful to him, after all, he could still think about himself after such a good thing. " "I really envy those squad leaders. Everyday, they come to the platoon leader's room to enjoy. This is simply the life of a god. It would be great if next year, we could also be the new company leader!" Liu Bing said thoughtfully.

"As long as you work hard, you will have a chance!" Shao took one last drag and carefully wrapped the cigarette in paper and put it in his pocket.

He sneaked upstairs and hurriedly ran to the washroom to wash his mouth. He breathed in twice and felt that there was no more smoke in his mouth. Only then did he dare to return to class.

When the platoon leader called out the names in the corridor at night, his expression was very serious. He sang a song, "Unity is Strength", and then he called out the name, and when he finished, the platoon leader unexpectedly gave the command to 'squat down'. Everyone was puzzled, what was going on with this platoon leader, did he want to squat and call out the name?

"Do you know why I made everyone squat?" The platoon leader looked around and continued, "Now, our recruits have relaxed way too much. They have only been in the recruit company for less than two months, and someone has already snuck into the basement to smoke. Today, I will make use of this opportunity to kill one hundred soldiers. Liu Bing, stand in front of me!" The platoon leader angrily stared at Liu Bing. Shao Xi's heart was pounding. Could it be that someone knew about them smoking in the basement? At the same time, he was somewhat worried that he would also be discovered. His heart was suddenly filled with cold sweat.

Liu Bing walked up to the platoon leader, and the platoon leader looked at him with a look of disappointment. He ordered in a loud and clear voice, "Face the platoon leader's comrades-in-arms, give me an explanation!" Liu Bing shifted her body and complained, "It's just a cigarette, why are you making such a big fuss over nothing?" Who knew that his voice would be heard by Hou Yongdong. Hou Yongdong abruptly stood up. His temper, which he had been enduring for so long, was suddenly triggered. Liu Bing, you fucking bastard, you still don't accept the criticism even though you did the wrong thing! "

The platoon leader rushed at Yongdong and said sternly, "Get down to the ground for me, you, as a class monitor, also have responsibilities!" Hou Yongdong crouched down dejectedly. This kind of scene made all the recruits present feel like their hearts were drumming furiously. From the corridor, they could hear the sound of the soldiers' hurried breathing.

"The platoon leader opened the notebook he carried with him and faced Liu Bing." Liu Bing, look at what you did after you came to the new company. On Monday, when the company commander had feces, it was your turn to clean the toilets, but you actually made the company commander stand up and drag the sewage to make the company commander behave badly. Friday, when you came back from the movie, you put the cap next to the defecation pit. It was an affront to the image of the military, and on Wednesday he came to my room to do hygiene, no, to steal cigarettes in the name of hygiene. In the end, I wasn't able to find the cigarette. You actually picked up the cigarette in the trash can? I'm telling you, when you come to the army, you have to obey the rules of the army. You can't be like a gangster in society. As for you, your actions and influence no longer affect just you alone, but a class and a platoon. Therefore, as you alone, I have decided to hang a yellow flag on the evaluation column for your class four as a warning! "Also, Squad Leader Hou Yongdong did not bring his men well, write a check on the three thousand words and hand it over to me tomorrow!" The platoon leader's words were sonorous and forceful, shocking the recruits so much so that their hearts trembled.

Liu Bing looked at the platoon leader in annoyance and said: "Platoon Leader, I do things by myself, if you want to deal with me, I accept. But you can't let my class be implicated, no matter how you handle me, don't hang the flag on my squad!" Liu Bing seemed to have realized her mistake and looked at the platoon leader very sincerely.

"Nonsense, don't give me individualism. Everyone needs to know, every single one of us is a member of the large group, your words, actions, and in a larger way, all of us represent the image of the soldiers. As for the new company, you represent the sixth company, you represent the first company, you represent your class, and your performance is the honor of your class. The platoon leader's every word was filled with power, with the spirit of a soldier.

All of the recruits grimaced in pain, the pain in their legs was really unbearable. The feeling of being punished to squat was really uncomfortable, but no one dared to move. If they moved, it would mean that they would be subjected to a fierce criticism, and would be charged with the crime of suffering poorly. Shao Xi first felt pain in his leg, then pain, then numbness, but the feeling of numbness was not very pleasant. In contrast, the squad leaders who were squatting at the head of the platoon did not move at all. They maintained their posture of sticking out their chests and raising their heads. As for the recruits, they were all sweating profusely.

And this Liu Bing seemed to be born with a nagging relationship with the Leader. She was tired after squatting down and had actually changed her legs with a peace of mind. The platoon was very quiet and the platoon leader naturally discovered his actions. Liu Bing, who told you to move? You are not allowed to move around in the queue, didn't your class monitor teach you? " The platoon leader glared at Liu Bing.

Liu Bing answered in a loud and clear voice, "Reporting to the platoon leader, the orders clearly state that if you squat for too long, you can change your foot!"

The platoon leader was about to go crazy from his anger, he said to Hou Yongdong, "Fourth Squad Leader, your squad's soldiers, this is your squad's soldier, not bad at all!" There was a hint of irony in his words. The squad leader lowered his head slightly. Perhaps, he was also reflecting on things.

The platoon leader did not investigate Liu Bing's crime on the spot and instead announced an important matter. Finally, let's announce a piece of good news, tomorrow morning at eight-thirty, the Special Guard will be performing boxing for us in front of the auditorium, I hope our platoon's soldiers will be able to display a row of styles, sitting properly, the squad leader will give me a good look, clapping enthusiastically, this may be your only chance, I hope you cherish it, and look at how they punch, and how they kick their legs! Now, bring them back to the class and prepare for the class meeting! " After the platoon leader finished speaking, he loudly shouted, "Stand up!"

However, because they had been squatting for too long, many of the new recruits' legs were no longer able to obey his command. However, because they had been squatting for too long, many of the new recruits' legs were no longer able to obey his command.

"Fine, Shao Xi, if you have the guts, I'll give you a cigarette and you'll betray me!" Liu Bing walked up to Shao Xi and pointed at him fiercely.

"I, I don't have any!" Shao Xi was shocked and quickly explained to him that Liu Bing suspected that he had betrayed him!

"It's not that there's no one else, I've only told you about that one time!" Liu Bing glared fiercely at him and entered the class.

Shao Xi sighed deeply, thinking that if he had known, he wouldn't have smoked his cigarette.

However, the thought of being able to enjoy the performance of the Special Guard tomorrow brought a wave of comfort to Shao Xi's heart. The legendary Special Guard, what kind of demeanor would they have?
