Chapter 47: Stubbornness
"Sir, what you're saying is true? Can you really give us guns, just like they did? The skinny Gao Hai, who had been tortured by charcoal burning for more than a year, pointed to Liu Shishi and a few of them in the distance, but his eyes when he looked at Tang Cheng showed undisguised envy and excitement. The four male students who were rescued from the mountains by Hou San and others were only used as contract workers for more than a year, although they were all skinny, but after careful inspection, Mu Lianshan determined that these male students did not suffer any major crimes.
The broth cooked by the fat man was undoubtedly the best panacea for them, and after a few bowls of broth, Gao Hai, the eldest of the four male students, came to Tang Cheng and asked Tang Cheng to give them a gun. "Last year, if we had a gun, the locals wouldn't have dared to rob us, and we wouldn't have been trapped here for more than a year." This is the reason Gao Hai said to Tang Cheng, but Tang Cheng knew that this guy was afraid, and he was afraid that he would be caught in the mountains to work as a contractor.
Tang Cheng had already lost his temper by this lice-ridden guy, so he had to vaguely plan to deal with the past first, who knew that Gao Hai was not stupid, so Tang Cheng had to give them guns now. Tang Cheng was originally kind and pleasant, but he was entangled by this Gao Hai for a while, and no matter how good his temper was, he couldn't bear it, so he immediately straightened his face and called Liu Shi over, "The army has the rules of the army, you can't be a person who can give a gun, as long as you can run around the camp with the equipment unloaded from him, I will promise to give you a gun." ”
Although Liu Shishi followed Tang Cheng all the way from Mengcheng to Guiyang, after all, Liu Shishi's age was there, and Gao Hai was also a high-spirited person, so he naturally didn't believe that he couldn't take the things that such a child had unloaded, so he nodded his head and agreed to Tang Cheng's request. Liu Shishi didn't say much, just took off the things on his body one by one, I heard that the freshly rescued student baby was going to gamble with Tang Cheng, and the wounded soldiers who could still walk in the courtyard came over to watch the excitement, Gao Hai thought that he had won, but he didn't know that these wounded soldiers came to see him laugh.
Only those who have fought in the war know the weight of those things unloaded from Liu Shishi, a Mauser rifle is close to 4 kilograms, 100 rounds of ammunition are more than 2 and a half kilograms, and the gun and bullets alone are close to 7 kilograms. Liu Shishi also has 4 Japanese-style grenades on his waist, which is another 2 kilograms of weight, plus Liu Shishi's bayonet, steel helmet, kettle, and a shell gun and four full-load spare magazines on his body, these things have already exceeded 15 kilograms when added together, not to mention that Liu Shishi also has a backpack loaded with stones, and a small body like Gao Hai obviously can't bear these weights.
Only those who have fought in the war will know this, Gao Hai naturally will not know this, seeing that Liu Shishi took off all the things on his body, Gao Hai copied them on his body in the order he had written them down. First straddled the bullet pouch and the shell gun, then tied the belt, then hung the grenades one by one on the lower waist, and finally the spare magazine and water bottle for the shell gun. But before he could buckle up his steel helmet and pin his bayonet to his waist, his legs were so weak that he could barely hold on, let alone the rucksack with the stones.
"You know, these things are more than 20 kilograms when added together, which is the weight that several of them must have every day when training." Tang Cheng smiled and looked at Gao Hai, who was still strong and strong, "The youngest of them, Xiaobao, is only 15 years old, and he can already march more than 20 kilometers with more than 14 kilograms of weapons and ammunition. You are students, and studying hard is the right way, am I right? ”
Gao Hai was not only much older than Liu Shishi, but also bigger than Tang Cheng, and was refuted by a person younger than himself in front of so many people, Gao Hai's face was much worse. Although he had lost the gambling match with Tang Cheng, Gao Hai still refused to bow his head and admit defeat, "Isn't it training, we can do it, they can train with such a heavy thing, it's just that the training time is long, as long as you give us time, we can also practice." Gao Hai squinted at Tang Cheng, the meaning of his words was already self-evident, just waiting to see how Tang Cheng replied to him.
"You stupid students who read books and read your heads, why did you tell you that, you can't understand it." Listening to Gao Hai's words, Tang Cheng laughed, but after laughing, he looked at Gao Hai with a look of surprise, "You can't fight with your strength alone, you can't carry these things on your back, you don't look at the stones, they are younger than you, but they have all followed me to the battlefield and killed ghost soldiers." Give you a gun, do you dare to kill? Even if you dare, when the blood of your enemies is splattered on your face, do you dare to keep your eyes open and watch your enemies die in front of you? ”
"I dare, as long as you give us a gun, I dare." Gao Hai still refused to admit defeat, and shouted at the top of his voice. The wounded soldiers who were watching shook their heads again and again, if Gao Hai had confronted his commander in the army, he might have been beaten to pieces. Tang Cheng just glanced at Gao Hai standing in front of him, you can't rely on your own martial arts to fight, if a person like Gao Hai is placed on the battlefield, it will only be a rat feces that spoils a pot of soup, and it is likely that all the robes with him will die.
"Stone, give him a bayonet, didn't the fat man say that he was going to kill the pig today, don't help, just tell him to kill, I want to see what kind of fierce man he is." Gao Hai didn't know how to advance or retreat, and Tang Cheng immediately turned cold. Among the things sent by the town office was a half-sized pig, which could be raised by cows, chickens and ducks first, but this pig was ready to be slaughtered today. Killing pigs is also a bayonet job, Tang Cheng just wants to see if this Gao Hai is as brave as he said.
How could Liu Shishi not know Tang Cheng's intentions, so he deliberately picked a not very sharp bayonet for Gao Hai, and took Gao Hai, who was still a little confused, to Ma Fatzi's side. whispered a few words to the fat man, and the fat man, who originally looked kind, also changed his face when he looked at Gao Hai, and he could shout in front of so many people with his own head official, such a guy should not know how to advance and retreat, and now he has to play.
Ma Fatzi came over from the Imperial Association Army anyway, although he is only responsible for cooking in the Imperial Association Army, but the Emperor Cooperative Army's methods of wholeing people, Ma Fatzi has also seen a lot, plus he has been messing with Liu Shishi and Hou San for so long, and there are a lot of flowery intestines in Ma Fatman's stomach. "The pig is over there, you go over and kill it yourself, I still need to prepare hot water and firewood here, you can kill the pig and tell me." Ma Fatzi took Gao Hai to the backyard, pointed to the black pig who was basking in the sun in the backyard, and then turned around and left with Liu Shishi, who was secretly laughing.
Gao Hai was also a rich young master before he left Beiping, he didn't even kill chickens, how could he kill pigs, although the help of a few classmates finally tied up the black pig, but Gao Hai held the bayonet but didn't know how to cut it. "You haven't gone under the knife yet? The water is already boiling over there, so I'm waiting for you to finish scalding the pig's hair. Gao Hai and the others were still unsure of their ideas, Ma Fatzi carried a wooden basin into the backyard, and saw that the black pig was still alive, Ma Fatman couldn't help but smile and blackened his face.
"Use the knife in your hand to stab the pig's neck, if you don't dare to stab, just wipe the pig's neck with a knife." The fat man stood behind Gao Hai and gestured, but Gao Hai held the bayonet and gestured on the pig's neck for a while, but he still didn't dare to start. Gao Hai's hesitant appearance made the fat man frown, and then quietly walked behind Gao Hai and hit it with his buttocks, and before Gao Hai, who was hit, came back to his senses, the bayonet in his hand had already stabbed deeply into the pig's neck.
"Poof" Gao Hai's hands were full of pig blood floating out of the blood groove of the bayonet, and the stench of pig blood in the warmth immediately made Gao Hai and several people dumbfounded. Not only that, the black pig who was stabbed in the neck was not fatally injured, and in the struggle he actually broke free from the control of Gao Hai and several people, and rushed back and forth in the backyard with his injured and bleeding neck, and Gao Hai, who couldn't dodge, was knocked to the ground by the black pig one after another, and the fat man who watched it laughed secretly.
The people who were tossed in the backyard because of killing pigs turned their backs, and ran to see the lively wounded soldiers grinning and laughing as if watching a big show, and Gao Hai, who was pale, was also anxious, wanting to catch the injured black pig again. But after all, they hadn't recovered their strength yet, and even if they touched the black pig, they couldn't control it, so they had to play a game of pursuit and interception with the black pig in the backyard. "Stone, you go, if you keep grinding, it will be dark." After watching the excitement well, Ma Fatzi finally handed over the task of killing pigs to Liu Shishi.
Liu Shishi is not Gao Hai and a few of them, he pressed down the black pig after a few times in the backyard, pulled out the bayonet on his waist and stabbed it according to the key point of the black pig, from struggling to completely immobile in just a dozen seconds, and the black pig who had nowhere to start with Gao Hai and others had become a dead pig. "You student babies, it's a pity that I have a good pot of pig blood." Ma Fatzi shook his head and Liu Shishi dragged away the black pig, leaving only Gao Hai and the others standing in the bloodstained backyard still stunned.
"Give them shovels and brooms, and they will clean up the pig's blood in the backyard, and if they can't clean up, they can only drink soup and no meat for dinner." Tang Cheng and Gao Hai were quite polite when they spoke, but Hou San and they were not so good at talking, especially Hou San was the most unaccustomed to people who could only talk big and not do serious things. Today's dinner is difficult for Gao Hai to swallow, although Ma Fatzi's craftsmanship is very good, but the delicious and fragrant broth is as tasteless as chewing wax in Gao Hai's mouth, and he still doesn't understand why he can't even compare to a kid like Liu Shishi.
