In the shade of a big tree in the wine station, there was a long wooden table that had just been built. Its specifications and shape were basically the same as those in the independent regiment's kitchen yard, long and narrow, with two long benches on both sides.
At this moment, six people were sitting opposite each other on both sides of the table. Platoon leader Hongying, as usual, was lying on the table with her braids lifted up, dipping her head into water to draw a turtle; First squad leader Shi Cheng was standing with his knees resting and looking down at the ants on the ground; Third squad leader Ma Liang was sitting with his legs crossed and looking up at the sky; Ninth squad leader Luo Fugui was hugging his coat and scratching lice; and the beggar-like squad leader of the friendly army, Chen Chong, was sitting the most upright.
Liu Jianqiang stood beside the table and expressed his opinion seriously: "… The problem of the ten prisoners must be solved. Who knows how many bad things these bandits have done? What if they join the team and rebel?"
"Solve it?" Ma Liang smiled: "How do you solve it?"
"Examine them carefully. Don't use them if you don't check them thoroughly."
"How do you examine them? Do you call them out one by one and ask them if they have done anything bad?"
Liu Jianqiang felt unhappy when he saw Ma Liang smiling: "Then what do you say we should do?"
"I can't help it. I have to return the goods! I can either send it back to the group and let them take care of it. It won't be too much for them, and it won't be too little for them."
"Return the goods? You wish for it. Look at how anxious those guys from the second company were when they left, carrying their stuff. Can Gao Yidao return the goods for you? Who knows how happy he must be now!" Liu Jianqiang said to the little girl again, "You've been making a fuss every day. Why are you silent now?"
The little girl raised her head and glanced at Liu Jianqiang: "I just wanted to recruit more people for us, I didn't think so much at the time. Don't keep talking about it, I warn you!"
Luo Fugui, who had a keen sense of smell, finally smelled some gunpowder, and quickly put down his work of catching lice and prepared to add some fuel to the fire: "Actually, I think this matter..."
Unfortunately, just as he started talking, Liu Jianqiang and Ma Liang suddenly turned their heads and said in unison: "Shut up!"
"Why...why won't you let me speak?"
"You're always up to no good when you say something! You're just a troublemaker!"
"Okay, okay, then why am I still talking to you guys here? Go and have fun by yourselves." Luo Fugui got up and left.
Shi Cheng grabbed Luo Fugui and said, "Mule, this is not a big deal. At least finish the meeting."
"Finish the meeting? What kind of meeting is this? They are under the pretext of solving the prisoner problem, but what are they actually talking about? Aren't you just dissatisfied with the girl for accepting prisoners? So what? Didn't the things she used to exchange prisoners also belong to her? Has anyone helped her? If she is willing, what's wrong with giving all the goods to the Second Company? Who is being held captive? Tsk—I'm going to sleep!"
After saying all this in a pretentiously passionate manner, Luo Fugui pulled Shi Cheng's hand away and swaggered towards the bunker.
Bang—she slapped her little hand on the table, raised her little eyebrows, glared with her big eyes: "Let's adjourn the meeting!" Then she turned around and went back to her little nest without saying a word.
The remaining four looked at each other, and Ma Liang pointed at Liu Jianqiang's nose and said, "What can I say about you? Speaking of the prisoners, why do you have to bring it up with the girl? Now, the meeting is over without even a plan. Ten prisoners need to be fed and watered, and we still have to send people to watch over them. When will this end? You are more likely to cause trouble than to help."
"Isn't that what you brought up just by arguing with me? Why are you pretending to be a good guy? Stop gesturing at me with your hands!" Liu Jianqiang pushed Ma Liang's hand away.
The blow was struck with great force, and it made a crisp sound when it hit the back of Ma Liang's hand. Ma Liang was so angry that he could not help but punch him back.
Then the stool flipped over, and the two men collided with each other instantly. They had been idle for a long time, and neither of them could bear it anymore. The black tiger picked peaches from the leaves, and the nonsense fight officially began.
Chen Chong was so upset by what happened from beginning to end. How could a meeting be held like this? What a mess. Not only did they adjourn the meeting in a ridiculous way, but they even fought with each other? She had thought Liu Jianqiang was a steady and serious veteran, and Ma Liang was a gentle and unique warrior. But in the blink of an eye, they were no longer like that. They were even tearing and gasping for breath. What the hell were these two
He hurriedly tried to walk around the table to stop the fight, but Shi Cheng grabbed him and said, "Don't bother yourself. Don't bother yourself. Their affairs are not something you can control. You can't afford to start a fight. Just wait for them to cool down naturally."
"Wait for them to cool down naturally?" Chen Chong's jaw almost dropped. They were all comrades in the same platoon, but Shi Cheng was so cold-blooded? Seeing this, his worldview was completely ruined.
She pushed away Shi Cheng's hand, walked around the table and rushed to the two squad leaders who were punching and kicking each other to stop the fight. Amid the sound of punches and kicks, Chen Chong fell out of the fight in a mess.
She got up and wiped her nose, but her hands were covered in blood. Chen Chong couldn't help but shout anxiously to the people nearby: "Someone, someone, pull them apart!"
Hearing the noise, several soldiers ran out of the woods, took a closer look, and rushed over to try to pull apart the two squad leaders who were fighting each other.
"Why do you only pull our squad leader's legs?"
"You were the one who took sides first!"
"I'll go to hell with you!"
"Oh my..."
Then the battle became two on two, three on three, four on four, five on five, escalating all the way until it finally became a battle between two classes, with a large area filled with smoke and chaos.
Chen Chong, with a nosebleed, sat on the ground in shock. How could it become like this? Was this equivalent to a mutiny? This was a big deal. She turned her head and shouted anxiously to Shi Cheng: "Hurry up and find a solution!"
Shi Cheng was also very upset at this moment. He spread his hands helplessly at Chen Chong and said, "I told you long ago that we can't pull this fight. Let them die naturally, but you didn't listen." Then he shouted to the soldiers who were watching the excitement, "What are you looking at? Those who are on duty, go back to your posts! Those of you from the first squad, follow me to the beach for training now."
The soldiers of Class 1 walked out of the crowd with smiles on their faces, turning their heads from time to time to look at the battle field between Classes 2 and 3, and followed Shi Cheng to the beach.
If the first squad didn't care, who else would dare to come out and take care of it? Despite all the commotion, Platoon Leader Hongying never showed up, and Luo Fugui was nowhere to be seen. Chen Chong sighed deeply, "Is this my fault?" What's wrong with these old soldiers in the ninth platoon? Are they deaf or blind
Suddenly, the people who were fighting gradually stopped fighting. Although they were still grabbing each other's collars or pulling each other's chins, and their faces were covered with scratches and nosebleeds, their movements stopped and their eyes were looking at Chen Chong who was sitting stupidly on the ground, blankly.
Why did you suddenly stop fighting? Chen Chong wondered, why are you looking at me? I couldn't help but feel a chill on my back... I twisted my almost stiff neck little by little and turned my head back.
He was wearing a black suit and carrying a box gun on his back. Under his thick eyebrows, he had a pair of narrow eyes that were cold and gloomy as he stared at the people fighting. Even though he was standing in the sun, he could make people feel a bit cold.
The new recruits who were watching the fun had no idea what was going on. They just stupidly looked at the men in black who suddenly appeared along with the people from Class 2 and Class 3, completely unable to understand the situation.
"Brother." Ma Liang, who was holding Liu Jianqiang tightly, said casually.
"Squad leader." Liu Jianqiang, who was holding Ma Liang tightly, also spoke subconsciously.
Chen Chong seemed to understand. Could he be... the platoon leader? He must be the platoon leader. God has mercy on us. This can finally end. I am almost going to collapse.
However, the cold-blooded man behind him suddenly said, "Not bad, you played well. I didn't expect that you all learned how to form a team and practice while I was away from home for a few days? In this case... the loser will not have dinner. Keep going. What are you still standing there for? I said keep going!"
There was a crackling sound... Class 2 and Class 3 were entangled in chaos again, but without the hostility from before.
The little girl finally jumped out of the door, her braids sticking up high. "Why did you come back just now? Tell me, where have you been with that vixen for so many days? Huh?"
"… "
This time, not only Chen Chong was upset, but also the platoon leader who had just returned was upset. His cold expression disappeared in an instant...
