Siheyuan, don't yell at me

He Daqing followed Ma Zi up the hill, where there were several deep ditches halfway up the hill.

There were two people at the bottom of the ditch, busy with shovels and hoes, probably repairing and widening the trench.

The dwarf greeted them and asked them to follow, and introduced He Daqing as the new squad leader.

He Daqing nodded to the two men, exchanged a few words of greeting, and then they went up the hillside together.

On the hillside, the dwarf shouted twice into a cave, and it was obvious that there was someone inside.

Two dusty soldiers came out of the tunnel, holding shovels and hoes, and were obviously busy digging holes.

He Daqing nodded to the two of them, glanced around, and didn't see anyone else.

I suddenly felt unhappy. The class was full of 9 people, and now with my grandfather He Daqing, there were only 7 people.

Where are the remaining two people? It's clear that they don't take Master He Daqing seriously.

I, He Daqing, am also a squad leader. Do you really not consider a squad leader as a cadre?

"Shorty, isn't there 9 people in our class?

What about the other two people? Are they so arrogant? Do you want me to go and invite them in person?"

The dwarf gave He Daqing a cold look.

I thought to myself that you are just a small squad leader, but you act more arrogantly than the regiment commander. If people don’t know you, they would think you are the division commander.

You look ugly, with a round face like a stick, and don’t you have any self-awareness?

"Captain He, those two soldiers were on guard duty at night.

Now is their time to rest..."

He Daqing felt a little embarrassed and changed the subject.

"I understand. Soldiers on night shift work hard, so they deserve to rest. There is nothing wrong with that.

Last night, I seized an American truck and captured an American officer.

Don’t believe it? Open your eyes and look, it’s all written in my red book.”

After He Daqing finished speaking, he took out his military service certificate and showed it to a few people.

Several people stared at each other in amazement. Only the short deputy squad leader could recognize a few words.

After seeing this, I was completely convinced. I didn't expect that this rascal-like guy actually had some skills.

The dwarf gave He Daqing a thumbs up.

"Captain He, I was a little unconvinced at first.

Now, I am convinced.

From now on, I will follow your command. If you tell me to charge, I will never retreat a single step."

Several other people also cheered.

He Daqing's vanity was greatly satisfied.

"It's just a small test, just a small test.

Do you know why I only seized one car?

Because they only have one car, even if there are two or three trucks, it's all the same, they're all mine...

By the way, I haven’t slept since last night, please find me a place to sleep.”

The dwarf responded and asked He Daqing to follow him.

He walked under a big tree and crouched down to enter a hidden cave.

He Daqing followed him in, and the room gradually became more spacious, enough for him to even stand up straight.

After turning a corner, the light suddenly dimmed.

This is not a problem for He Daqing, as he sees it clearly.

There was a simple mat on the ground, with some dry wooden branches sticking out from the edge of the bottom layer.

It was covered with thick leaves, weeds and other things, and on top of that were two worn, thin quilts.

The dwarf narrowed his eyes and proudly introduced the luxurious suite to He Daqing.

"Captain He, the environment is a bit simple, but it is enough for sleeping.

Two people squeezed together, covered with a quilt and wearing clothes, could still sweat.

This dugout is the best one we have here."

He Daqing's scalp tingled, and he even saw some small black bugs jumping on the floor. They were clearly fleas or something like that.

Besides, the smell in here is, how should I describe it, it's both pungent and smelly.

The smell went straight into my nose and my head felt like it was filled with that stench.

Several grown men didn't take a shower for the whole winter and stayed in an unventilated environment.

This taste is sour and more exciting than the pickled cabbage that has been pickled for three years.

He Daqing pinched his nose and left the dugout without saying a word.

When I got outside, I took big gulps of fresh air.

After a while, he finally started cursing.

"Damn it, I almost made you die young from stinking.

Shorty, are there any uninhabited dugouts?"

“Yes, there is one.

It is prepared for the transport soldiers. Sometimes, when transporting supplies and encounter bad weather, they need to take a temporary break.

It’s just that no one has lived here for two months, and it’s very cold inside~”

"It doesn't matter if I'm cold, I'm just very hot-tempered.

As long as there is no stink, take me there quickly, my eyelids are drooping."

The dwarf took He Daqing to another dugout, a dugout with a straight entrance that could just about accommodate one person.

The same dry branches, covered with some weeds and leaves, the weeds looked a little thin.

He Daqing nodded with satisfaction, although a little grim.

But without fleas and that disgusting smell, it is simply a paradise on earth.

After sending the dwarf away, He Daqing took out a thin quilt, wrapped it around himself, put on his clothes, and fell asleep.

The dwarf listened to the snoring coming from inside and shook his head.

I thought to myself, it’s still daytime, you’re not afraid of the cold, right?

When night comes, you’ll know how powerful it is.

When the time comes, I’ll see if you, He Daqing, still think my snow nest stinks.

He Daqing's shouts were deafening and lasted for half a day.

He Daqing was awakened from the cold in a daze. He rubbed his stiff hands and limped out of the dugout.

Not only my hands, but my feet were also numb.

When I was alone, I always slept in my own space. I never expected that it would be so cold in the broad daylight, wearing two coats and covering myself with a quilt.

What if it happens at night?

He Daqing entered the space and did not leave until his body warmed up.

After wandering around for a while, I found other warriors.

Everyone was hiding in the trenches in groups of three or four, chatting.

He Daqing also jumped into the trench, found a leeward position, and lay down.

"What are you talking about? Have you eaten yet?"

"No, why don't we wait until it gets dark, light a fire, boil some hot water, and cook some fried noodles so we can have something hot."

"Huh? Why wait until dark to make a fire?

I get it. Eating later will help you stay hungry.

That's not right, look at the hillside opposite, the fire is so bright, it's almost setting the forest on fire~"

"Captain He, that's the American position over there.

Our troops have a disciplined attitude and cannot light a fire and expose our position."

"What kind of bullshit rule is this? The other side doesn't even know we're here?"

“We know it, but we have to abide by the rules.

Aren't we afraid of a possible accident?"

"Damn it, the Americans are enjoying the good food and the spicy drinks, but we have to wait until dark to drink hot water.

Damn, is this fried noodles edible for humans?

You don’t know, but when I passed by Dandong, guess what I saw?

Chickens, ducks, pigs, and sheep were lined up in circles, with no end in sight.

There were so many supplies that they were piled up layer by layer, and I didn’t know how high they were.

There are all kinds of food, including fruits from the south.

Guess what? They thought the meat was too fat, so they just dumped the fat into the swill bucket..."

"Captain He, you, you can't talk nonsense, right? You must be lying to us.

If there were really so much food, why do we eat fried noodles with snow water every day and still not feel full? "

"Would I lie to you? Even if I die, I will still stand tall and proud.

I'm a transport soldier, and I'm the one who pulls supplies from that side.

At that time, there were more than fifty transport trucks with my grandfather.

American planes in the sky kept dropping bombs at us.

In some dangerous areas, the roads were directly blown off.

There are more than fifty vehicles, and it would be good if half of them can deliver the supplies.

Not every driver can have such good driving skills as mine, and his physique is also very strong.

Hey ~

Come to think of it, the logistics department cannot be blamed.

If the transportation can’t keep up, the meat will just rot…”
