Chapter 6: Metamorphosis
When the platoon leader Hu Zhijun's face calmed down a lot when he heard Wang Ke fall into the dry well.
Soon, the reconnaissance squad and the comrades in the telephone squad came back one after another. As soon as they entered the door, everyone looked unhappy. They were already very tired from working, but after dinner, they actually went to find Wang Ke again, and they still asked someone to live. Especially the squad leader of Yueyang, who was about to get angry as soon as they entered the door. The wireless squad leader Huang Zhonghe whispered to him, "Look at what did Wang Ke catch you?"
The squad leader Yueyang looked back and was immediately happy. His tense face immediately smiled, "Did Wang Ke catch such a big snake?"
Wang Ke nodded. The squad leader of Yueyang said happily to the platoon leader Hu Zhijun: "Make up for the mistakes, platoon leader, don't be angry. I will cook soup to relieve everyone's fatigue tonight." After that, he took a step forward, picked up the dead snake, and walked out the door.
"Wang Ke, you have dinner first, see how I will deal with you afterwards. Let's go!" The platoon leader of Hu Zhijun signaled to the wireless squad leader Huang Zhonghe, and they were going to explain to the company headquarters.
"Don't leave, I'm here. If you, Wang Ke, don't exhaust us, you are really unwilling to accept it!" Company Commander Tian and Instructor Ding stepped in.
When I found Wang Kexin, I had landed. I heard that Wang Ke was bitten by a snake and fell into a dry well, but I was very worried. The soldiers who followed the wireless squad to report the news came directly to the command platoon.
"Report to the company commander, instructor, I was wrong." Wang Ke lowered his head. Unexpectedly, the entire company worked hard for him for several hours. Wang Ke felt very guilty at this time.
"Where are you wrong, huh?" The bearded company commander Tian originally said he wanted to punish the kid, but when he saw others, his heart softened again.
"I, I shouldn't have fallen into the well."
I was heartbroken and angry, so why did I hit a snake when I walked alone? Just hit it, and even knocked myself into the well.
"Let's have dinner!" Just now, the bearded company commander Tian and instructor Ding came to the door of the command platoon. He heard that Wang Ke had washed so many clothes and brushed so many shoes for all the comrades in the platoon. He had already forgiven him in his heart.
"Okay, don't worry about you anymore. If you fall into the well, if you are broken or bitten by a snake, it will be dangerous." Instructor Ding, who was standing next to him, added another sentence.
"Yes, company commander and instructor, I promise that when I see snakes and wells, I will walk around."
After being bitten by a snake for three years, he was afraid of the ropes of the well. The bearded company commander Tian and Instructor Ding laughed together. Wang Ke is really a living treasure.
At this time, the squad leader Yueyang, who was peeling the snake skin outside, walked in, "Come on, Wang Ke, you have worked hard and made great contributions, and you will be rewarded with this snake gall!" The squad leader Yueyang handed over a fresh snake gall.
"Yes, the snake gallbladder clears the fire and opens its eyes, and you can swallow it." Someone next to him muttered. The bearded company commander Tian and Instructor Ding looked at each other, turned their heads and walked out of the command platoon.
Wang Ke really didn't want to swallow this fresh snake gall. He just swallowed the black pill spit out of the toad's mouth and the snake blood that was accidentally swallowed into his stomach. He had already scared him. Will this snake gall be poisonous?
"Platform leader, if you are willing to eat, will you eat?"
No one dares to swallow snake galls alive.
Those present, you look at me, I look at you. At this moment, the health officer Yu Deben heard that Wang Ke was bitten by a snake again, and he walked into the command platoon with the medicine box. When he heard that there was a snake gallbladder, he immediately shouted: "Give it to me, give it to me, don't you eat it!"
However, as soon as the sanitation worker Yu Deben saw Wang Ke standing there, he immediately changed his mouth, "It's better for Wang Ke to eat this snake gall." A gentleman did not take advantage of others, and in order to fight this snake, Wang Ke almost fell and injured.
Wang Ke was very generous, "Don't be polite to the health officer, you should eat the snake gall."
Looking at Wang Ke's sincere eyes, the sanitary officer was about to reach out to pick it up, but he didn't know that the squad leader Yueyang glared at him, "Health officer, you can't eat this snake gall. Is Wang Ke a calculator, is the head of the entire company? Or let him eat it? You can see clearly in the future and react quickly. Only then can our company's military training go up to the next level. You can wait while the snake soup is ready, and you can drink an extra bowl!"
When the hygienist heard that there was snake soup, he immediately smiled and said, "It's better to come early than to come by. Okay, you should eat the snake galls of Wang Ke yourself. I prefer to drink snake soup! It would be better if you add a toad when stewing snake soup."
When Wang Ke heard this, his face suddenly changed color. Does the sanitation worker Yu Deben know that there is a toad in the dry well?
The squad leader of Yueyang asked: "Why should we put a toad?"
The health officer said: "Toad is also called toad. It is known as the Five Virgins among the people, along with poisonous snakes, scorpions, centipedes, and geckos. When poisonous snakes and toads make soup together, it can be said to be a battle between dragons and tigers. Moreover, there must be toads where there are poisonous snakes."
"Okay, okay, then let's go find the toad, Wang Ke, where did you fight this poisonous snake just now?" asked the squad leader Yueyang.
When Wang Ke heard this, he was extremely nervous, afraid that the wireless squad leader Huang Zhonghe would say the dry well. "Squad leader, what is the solar term now? It will be winter soon. Where can I find a toad? It is rare to encounter this poisonous snake today."
"Don't make trouble here, reconnaissance squad leader, if you go stew snake soup, hurry up. I still have a few eggs here, put them in the soup to provide some nutrition for all the comrades."
The squad leader of the reconnaissance squad ran to the next house happily, and used two kerosene stoves to set up enamel washbasins, cut the big snake into several pieces, put salt and water, and then started to simmer the stove.
Wang Ke smiled helplessly, took the snake gall from the sanitary Yu Deben and put it into his mouth. He knew it was gall, so he picked up the teapot next to him and swallowed it with warm boiled water.
The snake gallbladder does not have the fishy smell of snake blood. After swallowing it, it does not feel that ice-like feeling again. He didn't want to drink snake soup anymore, so he hurriedly ate the supper and then washed it to bed.
That night, he slept very sweetly and didn't even have a dream. He woke up at five o'clock the next day. This has become a life rhythm for Wang Ke. Every day, he gets up on time, goes to the kitchen shift to fetch water, and then returns to the command platoon to clean the door. Finally, he gently takes out the basin teething tools of the entire row and gives all the comrades a washbasin.
After all this, I just blew the bed horn.
But Wang Ke was very surprised today. All the comrades in the platoon were sleeping sank to death. No one heard the wake-up call. Wang Ke walked into the room and saw that all the comrades in the wireless squad, including Hu Zhijun, and all the comrades in the wireless squad, still making snores. He came out and went to the reconnaissance squad and the telephone squad to see, the same.
Hey, what's going on?
Wang Ke first woke up the two squad leaders, then returned to the room here, and woke up the platoon leader Hu Zhijun and the wireless squad leader Huang Zhonghe.
"Everyone gets up, why are you sleeping so hard?" The platoon leader of the command platoon Hu Zhijun shouted, and then he shouted everyone in the room.
The platoon leader Hu Zhijun looked at Wang Ke with sleepy eyes, "When did you get up?"
Wang Ke smiled and said, "I just got up too."
"No, the sanitation at the door has been cleaned. You have all the wash water and brushing teeth. "Platform leader Hu Zhijun put on his clothes and walked to the door. "Everyone wake up and get up and clean up the internal affairs. You soldiers, you must learn from Wang Ke in the future, and do your best to do your small work."
In the army, officers and soldiers are accustomed to calling these good people and good deeds "small work".
Nietzsche said: "Gratitude is the health of the soul."
Thank you very much for your loved ones, thank you all living beings, and thank you for your gratitude at this moment, Wang Ke felt that when you go to the army, you are like brothers, taking care of each other, you cannot repay ten thousand, and you can repay the situation.
People who are grateful have soft hearts and bright worlds.
Wang Ke smiled and the platoon leader Hu Zhijun often praised himself like this. In fact, every time he heard the platoon leader Hu Zhijun's praise, Wang Ke felt a kind of pressure and a kind of encouragement. There was really no other intention, just simply want to do more work for everyone, he was energetic and had the capital to do these small tasks.
Wang Ke picked up his washbasin and went to wash, because there were only 20 minutes to organize internal hygiene and personal hygiene. The company still had to go out for exercises later. After the exercises, it was time to have breakfast, and after breakfast, it was time to go to work.
Today's task is to go to the 1,000-acre piece of magnolia field to cut hemp stalks. Many cities and some soldiers from rural areas may not know what the hemp stalks are for. These hemp stalks are more than one person tall. After cutting them off, they will be exposed to the sun and then soaked in water for a few days, and then peel off the skin and dried them. This is the so-called hemp. Then braid these hemp into ropes, which is called "hemp ropes"!
After breakfast, the platoon commanded the platoon to change into work clothes. The platoon leader Hu Zhijun specifically instructed the platoon to tie the cuffs and trousers tightly with ropes, each of them brought a dry towel to the collar, and brought a sickle to prepare to go to Matte to cut the hemp stalks.
Before leaving, the platoon leader Hu Zhijun walked over and pulled Wang Ke out from behind. "Get out, go back to the room, your task now is to rest." Wang Ke had a high fever the day before yesterday and fell into the well yesterday. As long as he did not cause trouble for himself, the platoon leader Hu Zhijun in commanded the platoon felt that he had burned high incense.
"Platform leader, can you let me go today? I'm so suffocated to death at home alone."
"No, don't even think about it, get back to the room!"
Wang Ke turned around helplessly and walked into the room. At this time, he felt itchy on his body.
After his comrades left, Wang Ke took off his work clothes and hung them on the wall. How could he be idle? He rolled up his sleeves and started to fetch water from the washbasin, preparing to wipe the tables, chairs and benches in the room.
However, when he rolled up his sleeves, he was stunned. His hands were densely filled with small rashes, and many places were skinned and itchy. What happened?
Wang Ke scratched with his hands, and the dander fell off and fell on the ground like snowflakes. His skin was very dry, not as greasy as two days ago!
Without having to clean up, Wang Ke brought him to the house and hurried to the farm health center. He wanted to go and ask, he had so many rashes and shed so much skin. Is it because of skin allergies or what he shouldn't have eaten?
If you take something you shouldn't eat, in addition to those three pills, there is also the black pill and snake blood in the mouth of the toad yesterday. Is it the same thing that works, or does the two work together?
With a lot of questions, Wang Ke ran to the farm health center in two steps.
