Chapter 111: Letters
The rain stopped falling, the spring thunder continued, and the lightning continued.
After finishing his work, he had dinner and dragged his tired body back to the headquarters. The equipment of all the soldiers in the reconnaissance squad was now moved to the room of Section Chief Chang Gaofeng.
This turned out to be a classroom, the podium has been moved, and the text is still written on the blackboard.
Section Chief Chang slept on a shared desk, while all the soldiers in the reconnaissance squad slept on the floor. Wang Ke was treated better and slept on the floor of the podium, which was fifteen centimeters higher than the other five soldiers.
Over two days, I slept for less than six hours in total. Now I am taking advantage of my free time outside to catch up on my sleep.
"Monitor, your letter, and a package."
Gu Maolin lost no time and pushed over a stack of letters, more than twenty in total, and the package looked like a pair of shoes.
"Wow! Monitor, the post office opened it for you." Song Ruimin exclaimed.
Wang Ke opened the first letter, which was a condolence letter written by the company leader. The company only learned about the reconnaissance squad's deeds in Nanshao Village through Gu Maolin's report. Wang Ke took a rough look at it and passed it to Song Ruimin.
, let everyone pass it on. Encouragement from the company leader is the best spiritual food. Everyone should enjoy this kind of warmth and care.
Next, Wang Ke looked at the mailing addresses of all the letters. The letters from his parents still came first, with two letters before and after. There were also letters from Wu Xiangyu and Ye Qianpian, each of whom sent no less than five letters. There were also
From the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun, from the platoon leader Zuo Wei, hey, there are three more letters from Baocheng No. 1 Middle School.
Wang Ke was very curious and tore open a letter casually. There were still elegant handwriting on the letter.
My most beloved brother Wang Ke, you are very busy, I don’t want you to reply to my letter, so I have never told you who I am? If you can sense it, I am not famous. If you haven’t yet
Realize it and it becomes your secret.
I really, really like you, and you are the pursuit and motivation of my life. When the college entrance examination resumes this year, I will work hard and follow your example. When the day I am admitted to college, I will go to you with a notice.
…
What kind of rhythm is this? Wang Ke was stunned when he looked at this inexplicable letter. Who is this girl? So far, he has received several letters, but he has never expected a reply.
The longing expressed in the letter was as thick as glue and as sweet as honey, but I didn't even know who she was. It couldn't be a high school student who admired soldiers, and it didn't look like someone was playing a prank.
The three letters all have similar contents. I don’t have such a friend. Could it be that the ghostly and elf Ye Zhanzhan deliberately made a little evil to test himself?
Thinking of this, Wang Ke quickly opened Ye Xianqian's latest letter. This letter was not sent through the post office, but directly to the company. When Wang Ke saw it, he stood up in shock. Ye Xianqian said in the letter that she and Wen Xianqian
Sure enough, the professor came to Lettuce Village. They were cleaning the river there, but they didn't find any valuable clues. They dug down more than ten meters of sand alone. In this flood, if Bald Valley Maolin hadn't called the police in time, the entire army would have been almost wiped out.
.
In this letter from Ye Xianqian, all the talk was about work and almost no love between children. Wang Ke liked to read this kind of letter.
In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the amiable Professor Wen and Professor Ye Rongguang. There were already three treasures in his empty shell box: the volcanic stone, which he wanted to give to Professor Wen, and his own copper basin
Bowl and pipe stem. It’s a pity that those rubbings have been sent away. I’ll go back to the casserole tripod later and make new rubbings.
Wang Ke fell into deep thought unknowingly. Professor Wen went to Xishan not to clean up the old routes, but to search for ancient river channels and those merchant ships that had sunk.
Do you want to tell him to come here to Nanshao Village? Is the mark he and Gu Maolin made that day still there? If he comes, it will conflict with the county's river cleaning plan. There are too many treasures hidden under the Xishan Mountain, and I'm not afraid of you looking for them.
, I’m afraid you can’t find it.
"Monitor, monitor." Gu Maolin's voice sounded from the pillow. "Monitor, are you asleep?"
"What's the matter?" Wang Ke felt a little annoyed when he heard Gu Maolin calling him. This Gu Maolin is good at everything, but he doesn't understand current affairs and doesn't know how to care for others.
"I want to tell you something?"
"Let's talk tomorrow."
"If you forget tomorrow, don't blame me."
"Then you stand guard and replace some of the comrades in our class." Wang Ke said this sincerely. Everyone was exhausted these days, but Gu Maolin's next words made Wang Ke jump to his feet.
"There's no problem with the squad leader standing guard. I mainly want to talk to you. When the assault boat came back just now, I saw a boat under the water."
"over there?"
"It's not far from where we found the mark that day."
"Isn't it the same place we found?"
"No, but this ship is a little strange."
"What's weird?"
"It seems to be a cargo ship. There is a lot of stuff in it, and there seems to be gold and silver treasures."
"Fuck, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"You didn't ask me either. Didn't I tell you right away?"
"Have you told anyone about this?"
"No, if it's gold and silver, we'll fish it out."
"Go away! Tell you Gu Maolin, if you dare to have any evil thoughts, I will peel off your skin and make you a boiled Gu Maolin."
"Okay, monitor, I'll listen to you. What do you think we should do?"
"In this case, I will write a letter first. You will return by assault boat tomorrow and go to the engineering team cleaning the river in Lettuce Village. Find a person named Ye Pianpian and give this letter to her."
"Squad leader, is this the pretty girl who came to see you last time?" Gu Maolin didn't come into contact with Ye Pianpian that time, but only saw her from a distance.
"Go away! I'll finish writing the letter later. Will you accompany me to see the location?"
"Squad leader, the flood there is still relatively deep. Even if the water recedes, the boat cannot be seen clearly. It is still buried under the sand, but it is already very shallow."
"I know."
"Squad leader, let me ask you one more thing. Was your vomiting of blood really cured by drinking the blood of that black donkey?"
"Yes, you won't have bad intentions again, will you?"
"No, no, but since that donkey can grow donkey treasures, its blood is also very precious and has a certain tonic effect. I will make a bowl of it sometime."
"Go away! Gu Maolin, I'm warning you, don't let me hear this in the future. I'll punish you every time I hear it! I'll let that donkey kick you to death!"
Gu Maolin immediately shut up, and Wang Ke began to write a letter.
Seeing that Wang Ke had finished writing the letter, Gu Maolin asked again: "Squad leader, why didn't you read those dozen letters of yours?"
"Can't you look back and see?" Wang Ke scolded him.
"But I heard the beautiful woman who delivered the letter said, what's the surprise? You must read her letter first."
"You talk too much nonsense. Come on, let's go take a look at that position and put up the lantern." Wang Ke's flashlight was dropped into the water by Uncle Dong Pianfang that time, so now he can only carry the lantern.
The two of them walked out of the back door of the elementary school one after another and came to the place where the assault boat was parked for the afternoon. "Hey, the squad leader is over there! It's about a kilometer away from us."
"Can you still find the place?"
"I'm sure I'll find it."
Wang Ke saw that the water under his feet had not receded much. According to this speed, it would take at least three to four days. "Maolin, this matter is not trivial. Keep your mouth shut. You will deliver the letter tomorrow and Mr. Ye will read it."
When I receive my letter, I will definitely ask you to lead the way. You will be responsible for bringing them to Nanshao Village. Don’t say anything you shouldn’t say!”
"Yes! Monitor, but what things should not be said?"
"You really talk too much. Stop talking about me."
"Understood, monitor, I will never say a word, including about you vomiting blood." Gu Maolin's mind was spinning rapidly. He had now determined that the monitor was inseparable and was talking to Teacher Ye, and the monitor didn't want to let him go.
She is worried.
If it weren't for this flood, the "Perak Surveying and Mapping Team" would have left Nanshao Village long ago. It was this flood that made Wang Ke form an indissoluble bond with Nanshao Village again.
Be a sunflower, face the sunshine with your smile every day, and live your most brilliant self. Only when you stand where the sun shines will you not envy other people's scenery. Only then will your heart no longer feel empty in the darkness.
.
Without further ado, Staff Officer Sun and Director Cui arrived as scheduled the next day. This time they brought vegetables from three assault boats, as well as some flood fighting and rescue tools, including some kerosene.
As soon as Staff Officer Sun saw Wang Ke, he immediately conveyed to him the instructions of the Youth League Party Committee: "Squad leader Wang Ke, the Youth League Party Committee commended your squad for its performance in Nanshao Village and asked me to tell you that Nanshao Village was the most severely affected.
, you must keep your mission in mind, never forget the purpose of our army, put the interests of the people first, and live and die with all the fellow villagers in Nanshao Village! Winning the final victory in flood fighting and disaster relief."
"Yes! Please rest assured, head of the regiment, we will definitely complete the mission! We vow to live and die with Nanshao Village!" Behind Wang Ke, stood five soldiers from the whole class.
"Squad leader Wang Ke, your class has made great contributions to our regiment this time. The Ding County People's Government also sent a letter to our troops, praising and thanking you for your work. I hope your class will continue to work hard and strive to achieve a solid foundation in flood fighting and disaster relief."
New work!"
"Yes! Our entire class will definitely follow the requirements of the chief and county leaders, unite the villagers of Nanshao Village, stay on the front line of flood relief, and ensure all the tasks assigned by the chief and leaders."
"Okay, after you finish unloading these supplies, we will return immediately. We will also go to rescue other villages upstream."
"Comrade Sun, our Comrade Gu Maolin has to deliver a very important letter. Can we return by assault boat?"
"Okay, let him prepare, we can set off right away." After saying that, Staff Officer Sun stepped forward and lowered his voice: "Wang Ke, why is your matter known to the entire army? This morning, Deputy Commander Qin called specifically
Call us and tell us to bring you a message. You must pay attention to safety and come back alive!"
Wang Ke was stunned for a moment. Although he guessed that this must be what Qin Hu said to his father, the call from Deputy Commander Qin still made Wang Ke excited. Being missed is not only a happy thing, but also a kind of care.
, a kind of responsibility, a kind of deep friendship.
Chapter completed!
