Deserter from War

Chapter 50: Silent Front

Views:

Often, the environment and atmosphere can determine a person's behavior. Now the tables of the Second Company and the Ninth Class are close to each other. If the recruits eating around them were doing their own thing, there would be no problem. In fact, Gao Yidao and the Second Company were too lazy to pay attention to Hu Yi and the others. But these recruits just watched the show. They didn't eat or talk, but just stared at the two tables, looking forward to something happening. Do you think this is annoying or embarrassing? Can you admit it

Luo Fugui really didn't know the situation. No one in the ninth squad had told him about this. The new recruits disliked him even more and were confused by the atmosphere. He couldn't help but pull Ma Liang beside him: "Ma Liang, what's going on? Are they dissatisfied with me for not wearing enough clothes or for not washing my face? These bastards are giving me a fright!"

Luo Fugui was unhappy with the new recruits and often swore at them. He was referring to all the new recruits in the yard and didn't mention anyone in particular. Although he spoke in a low voice, in such a quiet environment, everyone around him heard it clearly.

The speaker was unintentional but the listener was intentional. Before Ma Liang could even open his mouth, a soldier from the second company slammed the table hard and stood up, his face flushed and his neck thick as he pointed at Luo Fugui: "Who do you say is a bastard?"

With a thud, Luo Fugui was so frightened by the shouting and slamming the table that he lost his balance and slipped out from under the table. Damn, it was so quiet, and suddenly it happened like this, isn't this crazy! Is this something a human would do

Ma Liang stood up. He felt the need to explain this misunderstanding to avoid unnecessary trouble. "He didn't mean that. Don't get me wrong. He meant to say..." Ma Liang was suddenly speechless. This was really hard to explain. What should he say? He didn't say anything about your Second Company, but about the new recruits? It's not appropriate to say that the new recruits are bastards, right? There are hundreds of new recruits staring at him in the yard. Who wants to be a bastard? He couldn't help but hate in his heart, Luo Fugui, a lousy car mouth, can't you have a gatekeeper

"Ma Liang, stop pretending to be a good guy. You're a running dog for a KMT deserter. What qualifications do you have to speak? Get out of the way!" The soldier from the second company turned his spearhead directly at Ma Liang.

Ma Liang's face flushed at these words, and he couldn't help but get a little angry: "Mr. Liu, can you be more careful with your words?"

"You want my mouth to be clean? Then you have to clean up your Class Nine's ass first!"

Soldiers all have a sense of honor, especially collective honor. On the battlefield, the independent regiment is collective honor, and no one will be vague, but at other times, soldiers pay more attention to the honor of the company. Ma Liang can still tolerate the other party's verbal attacks on Luo Fugui or himself, but now the scope of attack has expanded to "Squad 9", which really makes Ma Liang feel embarrassed. A son will not dislike his mother's ugliness, and a dog will not abandon his poor family. No matter how bad Squad 9 is, it is still his collective. This is a matter of principle for soldiers.

Ma Liang's face darkened: "We in the Ninth Class at least have our butts to wipe, but your Second Company's butts have long been wrapped in bandages, so you can't even wipe them if you want to!"

This was a veiled curse on the current situation of the Second Company being filled with wounded soldiers, and the man surnamed Liu was so angry that he rolled his eyes. Another soldier from the Second Company stood up and said, "You lackey, Ma Liang, I think you deserve a beating, don't you?"

Little Hongying also stood up with her pigtails raised and her big eyes straightened. She raised her little hand and pointed at the person who just spoke, and said in a clear and tender childish voice: "I don't believe it, just try to move! We will scold you! You, the second company, are bastards, you, the second company, have no buttocks!"

The soldiers of the second company were so angry at this wicked girl that they clenched their fists. They really wanted to beat up this unreasonable girl, who was disrespectful and unreasonable. But they couldn't really beat her up. How embarrassing would it be to argue with her? Xiao Hongying was so angry that she gritted her teeth but could do nothing. She stood there in a daze, in a dilemma.

Gao Yidao hadn't spoken a word since the beginning. Gao Yidao sat steadily in the middle of the second company, staring at Hu Yi opposite him expressionlessly. Even if you are wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, even if you are a worthless squad leader, I will still be sworn enemies with you. Although I am injured and still wearing bandages, I am a soldier. As long as there is a suitable opportunity, I still don't mind taking action against you, a bastard deserter from the 67th Army! An invisible fierce aura spread around Gao Yidao.

From the beginning till now, Hu Yi has not spoken. Hu Yi lazily crossed his legs and stared at a chopstick on the table. You don't need to look to know that the eyes of this unfortunate Gao Yidao are enough to burn a hole in his clothes. The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. I am a man. If you insist on fighting with me, I'm sorry, but I don't care whether you are a wounded soldier or a patient, I will not hold back. An invisible cold breath was brewing around Hu Yi.

The entire compound fell into silence again.

Wang Xiaosan ran into the kitchen in a panic and came to Uncle Niu who was still kneading dough. "Uncle Niu, why are you still doing this? Go out and take a look. The weather in the yard is about to change."

Uncle Niu was still working at his job without hurrying. He didn't need to see what was happening in the yard. He could hear everything clearly from inside the house. He answered Wang Xiaosan without even looking up: "We are all soldiers. We are all brave. We all think we are capable. Bumps and bruises are not a big deal. As long as they don't bring weapons, no one is allowed to interfere."

Uncle Niu's words almost made Wang Xiaosan drop his jaw: "What? This is not a big deal? Well, even if they don't use weapons, they still use their fists and feet without any eyes. What if they hurt the little girl?"

Uncle Niu was still not in a hurry: "Never mind, that little girl, she caused this mess herself, let her bear it herself. Don't talk nonsense to me, hurry up and serve them food."

"Ah? You're still serving them food in this situation?" Wang Xiaosan noticed that Uncle Niu was glancing at him sideways, and quickly added: "Okay, okay, I'll serve them food. I'll serve them food right away." He turned around and went to prepare. He didn't dare to say it out loud, but secretly added in his heart: Let them eat well, they will have more energy to fight when they are full, and just dismantle the kitchen team.

"The food is here - hey, what are you all standing for? Sit down quickly, sit down and eat." Wang Xiaosan's words broke the stalemate between the two parties. Steamed buns, pickled vegetables and rice soup were served, which gave both parties a way out. Those who were standing sat down, but the atmosphere did not change much. Both parties were still staring at each other, and no one touched the bowl or chopsticks, as if they wanted to stare the other to death.

Luo Fugui also climbed out from under the table. At this time, he finally understood something. It seems that I am the only one who is confused. The whole yard is full of recruits as spectators. The protagonists are the Second Company and the Ninth Class? Looking at this situation, a storm may form at any time. If a fight really breaks out, there are more than a dozen people in the Second Company. I can't help but feel a little nervous. Should I hide under the table again? Looking at Boss Hu's nonchalant attitude, the little girl's arrogance and Ma Liang's unyielding spirit, and thinking of the annihilation battle on the valley path, I finally felt more confident. Boss Hu is a murderous devil. Judging from his character, he should be a good person. So many people in the Second Company didn't dare to come over, so why should I be afraid of him? I'll eat his grandma's food first!
