Signing in the Republic of China: starting from a foot patrol

Chapter 129

After being covered in a sack, Lei Shouren clamored everywhere to find the people who plotted against him, and deal with them properly when the time comes.

It's just that the black light was blind, and he didn't see who it was. Even if he had suspicions in his heart, there was no evidence.

In the end, it can only be a dumb person who eats Coptis chinensis, and can't tell the pain.

Only Lin Hongfei and Ma Yuechuan, two insiders, would be secretly happy.

Fighting can be regarded as adding a bit of fun to everyone's monotonous military school life, at least making life less boring.

In addition to the daily classes and courses on the training ground, the military academy also organizes field training. At the beginning, Lin Hongfei thought it was quite new. A group of people packed their bags, left the school, and went to the wilderness to set up tents, dig trenches, repair fortifications.

It's just that after two or three visits, Lin Hongfei felt that this matter was really tormenting people, and he might as well be more comfortable listening to lectures in class.

On this day, Lin Hongfei and other 5th-term students were taken to the field for training as usual. It was already the beginning of winter and the weather became cold.

But Lin Hongfei and his fellows still took off their shirts and dug and planed on the ground with shovels and picks.

On the side, the instructor in charge of the field training was still patrolling back and forth, cursing and saying:

"Dig trenches, 5 feet wide and 4 feet deep!"

"Look at what you guys dug. Is this a trench?"

"A whole dung ditch!"

"Speaking of manure ditch, this training, if there are people who defecate and urinate everywhere, and don't defecate in the designated area, see if I can chop up your stuff with a bayonet!"

Hearing this, the student nicknamed 'Lively' muttered in a low voice: "Bayonets are not good, I have to use a kitchen knife to cut it off."

"Ok?"

When Lin Hongfei heard it, his face was full of question marks, is this showing off?

After a lot of tossing, trenches, temporary bunkers, and front-line command posts were all set up one by one, and an infantry position that had begun to take shape appeared before Lin Hongfei's eyes.

It was only after entering the military academy that Lin Hongfei discovered that even digging trenches and repairing fortifications required a lot of knowledge, not just digging a ditch with a shovel.

For example, trenches cannot be built into a straight line, but several protrusions and corners must be deliberately trimmed. In this way, once a grenade or shell enters the trench, these protrusions and corners can well offset the shock wave of the explosion.

At the same time, each combat position should be divided into high and low positions. For example, the position of the rear machine gun position should be set higher, so as to avoid accidental injury to the comrades in front.

After the construction of the fortifications was completed, Lin Hongfei and others ushered in the time to rest, and the cooking team in the distance also set up a cauldron, and the cooks wrapped in aprons were swinging kitchen knives, chopping Chinese cabbage one by one.

"Hey, it's boiled cabbage again. I don't even need to look at it. I can tell it just by smelling it. This time, there's no fucking meat again!" Ma Yuechuan said helplessly, smoking a cigarette.

"It's good to have Chinese cabbage, but if the Chinese New Year is not a festival, do you still want to eat meat?" Lively said aside.

Ma Yuechuan sighed, showing a nostalgic expression: "Oh, I miss my mother's pot-wrapped meat, and the sauerkraut and white meat, and the stew with blood sausage!"

"Hey, that's an incense!"

Lin Hongfei chuckled: "Yuechuan, let me teach you a trick. After you serve boiled cabbage, you close your eyes and keep saying: this is not boiled cabbage, this is not boiled cabbage, this is sauerkraut with white meat, This is sauerkraut and white meat."

"Guaranteed to work!"

"Pull you down, isn't this just a game of self-deception!"

Ma Yuechuan laughed, and took advantage of the opportunity to send the cigarette butt in his mouth to his mouth. The next second, Ma Yuechuan let out a cry, which shocked everyone!

"What's wrong with you, are you stepping on the cat's tail?" Lin Hongfei asked.

At this time, Ma Yuechuan covered his mouth, and he threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and while taking a breath, he cursed: "Damn it, I was just talking to you, I put the burning side of the cigarette butt into my mouth! "

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone immediately laughed!

Lin Hongfei was even more delighted, he never expected to see a wave of reverse smoking with his own eyes.

But before he had enough fun, he felt a burning pain in his fingers, and he subconsciously shook his hand, only to realize that the cigarette butt in his hand was almost burned out.

Squeezing the shriveled cigarette case, Lin Hongfei found that there was no more cigarettes in it, and he asked, "Who still has cigarettes, give me one."

Everyone shook their heads: "It's all over. This field training came so suddenly that I didn't have anything in my pocket."

Not having enough cravings, Lin Hongfei scratched his scalp with some embarrassment, and could only bear with it, but it was his turn to be on duty tonight, if there was no cigarette to hold it, it would be really difficult.

At this moment, Lively on the side pointed to the path in the distance and said, "Hey, there is a peddler who carries burdens over there, why don't we go and have a look and see if he sells cigarettes."

Shopkeeper, a profession in the old age, holding a rattle, carrying a load, and carrying all kinds of goods, shuttling through the countryside to sell.

They carried a load with a big box on one end and a big basket on the other.

The big box contains all kinds of needles, threads, daily necessities, and some candies and preserved fruits.The big basket at the other end is used to hold old things and grains exchanged from villagers in the countryside.

At that time, the transportation was very underdeveloped, and some villages were remote, so it was very troublesome to buy some daily necessities.

Therefore, these shopkeepers have become the only channel for rural people to purchase daily necessities.

Whenever a peddler shakes the rattle and makes a thumping sound, people will realize that the peddler is coming, and then quickly walk out of the house, either with old objects at home, or with a bowl of grain, using this This is the most primitive way of bartering to get urgently needed daily necessities from shopkeepers.

At this time, when everyone saw the peddler carrying the burden, their eyes lit up immediately. Lin Hongfei got up directly and walked towards the peddler with big strides, followed by Ma Yuechuan and Xiongxi.

"Wait a moment!"

"Hey, bro, wait a minute!"

Lin Hongfei walked while shouting.

However, the shopkeeper didn't seem to hear it, and continued on his way.

It wasn't until Lin Hongfei ran forward and patted the salesman on the shoulder that he stopped him.

"I said, don't you have good ears? I've called you so many times!" Lin Hongfei said a little dissatisfied.

A trace of panic flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes, but he quickly calmed down, and then flattered him: "Hey, boss, I'm really sorry, my hearing is really not very good, don't mind me!"

The peddler's accent was a little blunt, but Lin Hongfei sounded very familiar, but he was eager to buy cigarettes, but he didn't remember which dialect it was.

Lin Hongfei looked directly at the box on one end of the load, and asked while flipping through it: "Do you have cigarettes for sale here?"

The salesman shook his head: "No!"

"Where are the tobacco leaves?"

"nor!"

"You don't have anything, what are you doing as a shopkeeper?" Lin Hongfei dissatisfied.

The salesman also looked helpless: "Boss, we usually sell needles and threads, but we have never sold cigarettes. Besides, the people in the village grow their own tobacco leaves, and they don't need to buy them!"

Lin Hongfei felt helpless for a moment. At this time, he saw three packs of peanut kernels and four packs of broad beans in the box, all of which were deep-fried, crispy and fragrant.

"Okay, let's buy some fried peanuts and broad beans, these things can relieve boredom even after chewing!"

At this time, Ma Yuechuan and Huanxi also rushed over. Lin Hongfei took out these packets of peanut kernels and broad beans and put them in their hands, saying, "I bought these packets of peanuts and broad beans."

"I see anything else?"

He did a small business, but the salesman didn't have any joy on his face, instead his expression became a little nervous.

At this time, Lin Hongfei's hand accidentally touched a piece of black cloth, revealing one end of a roll of white paper.

"Hey, they still sell toilet paper. I'm in a hurry to get out. I didn't bring toilet paper. I have to use dirt to shit tomorrow."

"I also bought this toilet paper!"

As soon as Lin Hongfei finished speaking, the peddler's face changed drastically, as if he heard something extremely terrifying.
