Before he finished urinating, the sound of the carriage door opening startled everyone in the carriage.

"Qianli, I'll go back..."

A gentle young man wearing glasses took off his hat and opened the curtain, smiling and speaking. But as soon as he came in, he saw this scene.

He was startled for a moment, and then his mind suddenly came to his senses:

"What are you still doing? Stop it!"

The two soldiers on the nearest Datong bunk were also startled. They quickly jumped off the bed, hugged Xu Qing back, and pushed the door shut with all their strength.

The door slowly closed.

The door latch clicked with a bang.

"Instructor?"

"Why are you back..."

"Sister-in-law, can you agree? Aren't you demobilized..."

The young instructor glared at them and scolded them: "What's going on! What tricks does this recruit do? Why is no one watching? Where is the company commander?"

"Behind you..." A soldier muttered.

He turned his head and saw Wu Qianli standing motionless, looking something wrong.

"Qianli, what are you..."

He frowned and approached, lowering his tone: "What's wrong with you? You can't deal with things with emotions! I rode a bicycle all night from Shanghai, and my wife chased me on a bicycle for more than a hundred miles, while riding

Weeping in the car, he asked me when I would be back... I wanted to turn around several times, but it was only when I thought that so many brothers in the Seventh Company needed me and us that I made up my mind to leave. You are the company commander, and you must bring us all alive one by one.

You’re back…”

Wu Qianli slowly raised his head and his expression began to change: "Didn't you retire from the army and return to Shanghai? Why are you back again?"

"I don't worry about you. I saw the newspaper when I got home, saying that there was going to be a war again. How could I be missing from this? I, Mei Sheng, are back again! By the way, I heard on the way that our company has an extra soldier.

, is it him, what’s going on..."

"His name is Wu Wanli."

"What?"

Instructor Mei Sheng was stunned.

He turned back to look at Xu Qing. Xu Qing was fastening his belt. When he saw him looking over, he gave him a friendly smile.

He looked at Qianli again, and Qianli looked at him seriously.

"real or fake……"

"What else is true or false?" Wu Qianli shook his head, his expression returned to normal, "He is as stubborn as you. He ran more than a hundred miles from home to the division headquarters and insisted on dying. Just in time, Mei Sheng

, you are the instructor of the Seventh Company, and this recruit will be left to you."

"No, I just came back, and doesn't it belong to Thunder Lord to teach the new recruits?"

"I didn't ask you to take care of it. If you have time, I can help you and teach you more about my experience on the battlefield..."

He glanced hard at Xu Qing, who looked innocent next to him, as if he was angry but also helpless, "You... follow me!"

The three of them walked towards the end of the car, two behind the other.

In his spare time, Xu Qing followed the warriors lying on the bunks on both sides and looked at each other one by one, which made the various looks he cast three-dimensional.

After a chase just now, I had time to look around carefully.

This dilapidated train car, which was as stuffy as a can, was packed with people, equipment, and about a hundred soldiers. There were people lying and standing on top, bottom, left, and right.

Beddings, firearms, and clotheslines made of backpack ropes were all spread out as far as the eye could see. Some were lying on the ground, some were sleeping on the floor, and many of the soldiers had just been recalled from their hometowns. They brought various local specialties with them, and the air was filled with

With various smells.

It has the fragrance of oranges, fruits, melon seeds, steamed stuffed buns and meat fillings, and even the smell of stinky feet.

The weather is very hot. There are so many people sitting in the closed carriage. Although it is late autumn in November, the temperature is still rising visibly. Military uniforms are easy to wear. If you wear them all the time, they will get rancid.

So everywhere he passed, there were naked people wearing trousers, jackets, vests, shirts, and bellybands, all looking at him with intense attention.

These young and strong bodies after taking off their military uniforms, as well as the battle scars that can be seen everywhere on their bodies, are a complete collection of men's underwear from all over the world in 1950.

Come to the end of the carriage.

Here squatted an old man with a half-white beard, who was slowly polishing a German engineer shovel with a hand-operated sand wheel next to him. There was also a freshly oiled 38-inch cover lying horizontally on the ground.

The carriage was so noisy just now, but it didn't seem to affect him at all.

Wu Qianli approached: "Lei Gong, this new recruit has returned to the artillery platoon... Please help me teach him well."

"How to teach?"

Lei Gong slowly straightened up and said helplessly, "Even if he is your brother, he will go to war soon. How can you teach him in these days?"

Wu Qianli was speechless. Thinking of what Xu Qing had just said, he smiled with relief:

"Teach him... to live."

Lei Gong looked at Qianli and then at Xu Qing. Seeing that he was serious, he smacked his lips silently:

"...Okay, then I will try my best."

"Come here." Qianli turned his head and looked at Xu Qing.

His expression was a little complicated: "You have your thoughts, and you can say those words...you have grown up. But, it is not enough! Fighting is not a fight on the water, let alone beating you on the water, but a fight to the death. There's nothing I can do to help you - you have to prove yourself."

He pointed at Lei Gong: "This is the old platoon leader of the artillery platoon of our seventh interleaving company, Lei Gong! Your eldest brother, including me, are all soldiers led by him. In the seventh company, even if you don't listen to me, you can't help but Listen to him. At least... Lei Gong can let you learn how to survive!"

Xu Qing nodded: "I understand. I will prove it to you!"

He turned to Lei Gong and bowed: "Hello, Lei Gong——"

Lei Gong was surprised when he saw it, and he said with a smile: "It's quite polite! You can't tell it's a thorn in the side, so okay, come here and help me carry these weapons to the side."

"Okay!" Xu Qing didn't show any pretense, just squatted down and lifted it up.

"Wait a moment!"

Wu Qianli suddenly spoke again from the side.

Xu Qing didn't know why.

Lift your head and look at him.

"...Change out of your military uniform first so it doesn't get dirty."

After a pause, he sighed.

"You are right - since you have joined the Seventh Company, you will be a member of the Seventh Company in life, and you will be a ghost of the Seventh Company in death."

"It's two o'clock in the afternoon." He looked at a simple clock hanging on the door of the carriage. "After you finish helping Lei Gong, you can register immediately. At three o'clock in the afternoon... there will be a gun ceremony in the carriage. !”

"Yes!" Before Xu Qing could react, Lei Gong had already answered.

"Yes..." He followed immediately.

But Wu Qianli had already left.

Instructor Mei Sheng was about to leave, but after taking two steps, he turned around and said: "Wu Wanli, I am the instructor of the 7th interleaved company, my name is Mei Sheng. Remember, no matter what your identity was before, after you come here, you will be a soldier of the 7th company." …Follow Mr. Lei well, there will be a battle soon, I will be nervous every second. Also, don’t come near the carriage door again!”

With that said, he walked away quickly:
Chapter completed!
