Lu Yuanchao and Cui Xiongwei were both dumbfounded. They didn't expect Lu Jiefang would just kill the man without beating him at all. It was much more efficient than killing a mouse.
Not only are the leeches fat on the border, but the rats are also fat and bold, coming out even in broad daylight. The veterans often catch rats for a snack. What's more, rat meat tastes like beef and is quite delicious.
As soon as the new recruits reported for duty, the veterans taught them how to catch rats. The Lu Jiefang brothers found rats disgusting, so no matter whether they were catching or killing rats, they were always ranked last in the company.
Lu Jiefang is second to last, and Lu Yuanchao is third to last.
Cui Xiongwei is last.
Because of this, the three of them were often laughed at by their comrades, who laughed at them for being cowards and lacking the blood of a man, and said that it would be better for them to go home and eat.
Facing the admiring gazes of his younger brother and Cui Xiongwei, Lu Jiefang raised his chin with a very calm expression, as if what he had just killed was just a small ant.
But in fact, he was very panicked inside, and it took all his strength to barely control his body from shaking.
Before this, he had never even slaughtered a chicken, and he had to cover his eyes when the army slaughtered pigs.
But today he killed a living person, and the corpse was right under his feet, still warm.
"Brother, there's one more!"
Lu Yuanchao was ready to kill the remaining black monkey. Judging from his brother's expression just now, it shouldn't be that difficult. Just a gentle twist would be enough.
"Let him do it!"
Lu Jiefang stopped his brother and glanced at Cui Xiongwei who was still dumbfounded.
"I haven't killed one yet, I won't let you!"
Lu Yuanchao was not happy, and he also wanted to kill the black monkey.
"No need to let me, you guys do it!"
Cui Xiongwei didn't want to take over at all. He had never killed a fish in his life.
Lu Yuanchao snorted, thinking that Eunuch Cui was quite sensible. He squatted down and was about to start working, but was stopped again.
"Go get it, quickly!"
Lu Jiefang winked at his brother and urged Cui Xiongwei to hurry up, as he would be punished if he returned late.
Although Lu Yuanchao still didn't understand, he believed in his brother unconditionally, so he urged: "You don't dare, do you?"
"Who doesn't dare? Humph, I'll kill you right now!"
Cui Xiongwei couldn't stand the provocation, so he grabbed the black monkey's head without saying a word and twisted it with gritted teeth.
The unconscious black monkey woke up and struggled. Cui Xiongwei failed to hold him down and he almost escaped. Lu Jiefang kicked him unconscious and yelled, "Stop talking like a sissy and do it quickly!"
"You're a woman, I'm a real man!"
Cui Xiongwei got angry. He exerted force with his hands and with a snap, the black monkey tilted its head with its eyes open in death.
"Walk!"
Lu Jiefang carried a corpse and walked in front.
Lu Yuanchao carried another corpse and followed quickly.
The two brothers walked a few steps and found that Cui Xiongwei didn't catch up. He stood there stupidly. Lu Jiefang was so angry that he shouted: "If you don't leave now, you will be in trouble when they catch you!"
Cui Xiongwei shuddered and quickly followed. Soon he was in the front, as if he was being chased by a ghost.
He had heard from the veterans that the people on the other side were not picky about meat or vegetables, and anyone who fell into their hands, regardless of gender, would be in great trouble.
He would rather die than be a prisoner!
The three men ran into the woods and threw the two corpses away. There were many wild beasts and poisonous insects on the mountain, and the corpses would be eaten by the wild beasts within one night without leaving anything.
After dealing with the corpse, the three men quickly returned to the border, took off their clothes, killed the leeches on their bodies, changed into military uniforms, hid the women's clothes, went to the market to buy some things, and slowly returned.
"Brother, why does he have to do it?"
Lu Yuanchao hadn't figured it out yet, so he asked quietly.
"If he does it, the three of us are like grasshoppers on the same rope, no one can escape!"
Lu Jiefang whispered to his brother. He thought that if the company commander knew about this, he would definitely punish them, so he had to drag Eunuch Cui along as well so that not only they brothers would be punished.
"Brother, you are so smart!"
Lu Yuanchao suddenly understood, his clear eyes full of admiration. His brother's brain was half as smart as his sister-in-law's.
"It's OK!"
Lu Jiefang was extremely proud and became more and more convinced that he was a genius. The reason why he achieved nothing in the previous 22 years was mainly because Tanzhou and Jiangcheng did not give him the opportunity to display his talents. The border was his blessed land!
When they returned to the company, it was already dark. The three of them went straight to the cafeteria to eat. They also asked Lao Huang to stew a pot of beef for the three of them to eat together.
"Yo He, when did you three become so close?"
The comrades were extremely surprised. These three people were incompatible and always quarreled when they met. How come they were so friendly today that they were wearing the same pants?
"Do you understand the friendship between comrades and brothers? You have no awareness at all!"
The three of them responded in unison, showing a tacit understanding.
"You have quite a good chemistry, good, keep it up!"
The comrades were not angry at all. They were very pleased that the three "young masters" had finally grown up and that Squad Leader Shi's efforts were not in vain.
Squad Leader Shi is the squad leader of Lu Jiefang and his team. He has put a lot of effort into improving the relationship between these three people.
"snort!"
The three of them hummed in unison, rolled their eyes in unison, and then lowered their heads to eat in unison. Their movements were even more consistent than if they had been trained.
Lu Yuanchao ate with big mouthfuls and was very happy.
Lu Jiefang and Cui Xiongwei didn't have much appetite. Even their favorite stewed beef didn't arouse their appetite at all.
In the end, most of the big pot of beef stew went into Lu Yuanchao's stomach.
"vomit……"
Cui Xiongwei suddenly ran out and squatted on the side of the road to vomit.
"Brother, look at him, he looks like he's pregnant..."
Lu Yuanchao chirped softly, but before he could finish his words, his brother ran over, squatted next to Cui Xiongwei, and vomited.
"Brother, why are you pregnant too?"
Lu Yuanchao talked to himself in dumbfoundedness.
Several comrades gathered around and wanted to send them to the infirmary.
"No need... I... ugh... I just ate too much... ugh..."
Lu Jiefang refused while vomiting. He was afraid that if he went to the infirmary, what he had done during the day would no longer be hidden.
"I...I ate Houttuynia cordata... Ugh..."
Cui Xiongwei also refused because he was afraid of being exposed.
The two of them vomited out all the food they had just eaten, even the bile.
Finally, Lu Yuanchao held Cui Xiongwei in his left hand and his brother in his right hand, and dragged the two back to the dormitory. Cui Xiongwei just threw him on the bed and ignored him, while his brother carefully put him on the bed, took off his shoes and covered him with a quilt.
"Brother, drink malted milk. I made three spoonfuls of it!"
Lu Yuanchao couldn't stop swallowing his saliva. There was not much malted milk left, so he and his brother drank it carefully, only one spoonful at a time. It was as light as boiled water. Three spoonfuls of malted milk were really delicious!
"I can't drink it...you drink it."
Lu Jiefang waved his hands weakly. He would vomit whatever he ate now.
I have heard veterans talk about their reaction to their first kill. They are excited at first, then feel nauseous. They are so nauseous that they vomit even when they drink water. After they get through this period, they will feel better. He didn't quite believe it when he heard it, but now he finally understands it.
