Chapter 28 Urgent order on a snowy night!
"Oh? Really?"
Old Wang from the Northwest also felt that Li Dongshui looked familiar, but he didn't say it out loud. He asked, "Where are you from, little brother?"
"My hometown is Sichuan and Chongqing."
Li Dongshui thought about it, but still couldn't remember where he had seen this middle-aged man before.
"Don't you want to buy something? Take a look at what you want to buy."
Since Lanmao wasn't there, Xu Ge didn't want to waste time and looked at Northwest Lao Wang, "Lao Wang, do you have any 84 disinfectant?"
"Of course! It's used to soak the sheets, right?"
Northwest Lao Wang immediately took out two bottles of disinfectant from the trunk and said, "Two bottles are enough for your class. 50 each."
Since Du Hu was reimbursing him, Xu Ge was too lazy to bargain. After taking it, he started to choose other things with Li Dongshui.
Xu Ge didn't buy much, mainly daily necessities. He had discovered that the things sold by Northwest Lao Wang were all genuine. Although they were expensive, the quality was guaranteed.
Li Dongshui was different. He just did it like he was shopping in a supermarket. He never asked about the price and just let Lao Wang fill his bags.
Lao Wang also realized that this new recruit was from a wealthy family, and he served him with a smile on his face.
After Xu Ge finished shopping, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Dongshui: "There are too many things, can you help me carry a bag?"
"You think I'm..."
"I'll take what's in your bag!" Li Dongshui said lightly, and Xu Ge stopped immediately.
"Master Li is straightforward!"
Bang bang bang!
A strong wind blew, and stones hit the door of the Prado with crackling sounds.
This situation is normal in the northwest, and no one takes it seriously.
But gradually, the wind grew stronger and stronger, and yellow sand filled the air at the foot of the distant mountain, raising a light yellow dust curtain.
Old Wang from the Northwest, who was putting things into his bag, looked up at the sky and his face changed: "It's going to snow!"
snow?
Xu Ge and Li Dongshui were both stunned. Xu Ge said, "Old Wang, it's September now. How can it be snowing?"
"You guys just arrived and don't know, but it can snow here all year round. Let's hurry up, I want to be back before it snows!"
The sky suddenly darkened.
Xu Ge looked up and found that the originally clear sky was now covered with dark clouds.
Old Wang from the Northwest quickened his pace, shoving the last few packets of snacks into the bag and handing it over. "That's 1560 in total, just give me 1500!"
Li Dongshui took out his mobile phone to scan the code to pay, then lowered his head to look for something in his bag.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, making it almost impossible to open one's eyes.
Most of the tricycles had already packed up and were ready to leave, and Northwest Old Wang also closed the trunk and got into the driver's cab.
"Let's go, why are you still standing there?" Xu Ge urged, holding a bag in one hand.
"It seems that the boss just now took the wrong thing." Li Dongshui replied and continued to search in the bag.
"If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Next time..."
“Found it!”
Li Dongshui took out a bag of instant noodles and said, "I don't want this."
After saying that, he shouted at Prado, who had already started driving: "Boss, you gave me an extra pack of noodles!"
Amid the howling wind, the Prado did not stop, but the passenger window was lowered.
"Consider it a gift from me!" Old Wang from the Northwest shouted, and then prepared to raise the car window.
“I don’t like eating this.”
Li Dongshui muttered something, glanced at the dust rising in front of the Prado, and threw the bag of instant noodles out.
The instant noodles were spun around in the air by the wind, and finally entered the passenger seat of the Prado just before the car window was closed.
Old Wang from the Northwest, who was driving, was stunned at first when he saw the bag of instant noodles floating in. Then a memory came to his mind and he smiled silently: "So it's you, little kid!"
. . .
. . .
"A Shui, when you threw that bag of noodles just now, was it a matter of luck or was it a well-aimed move?" On the way back, Xu Ge couldn't help but ask curiously.
His throwing skills were already advanced, but he knew he could never do it.
"I must have aimed carefully. I've said that I've been able to throw things accurately since I was a child!" Li Dongshui looked proud.
"But how do you determine the landing point in such a strong wind?"
"Can't we just calculate it based on the weight of the object and the wind speed?"
"How is it calculated?"
Li Dongshui looked at Xu Ge: "Didn't you get 600 in the college entrance exam? Liberal arts or science?"
"621, not 600!"
Xu Ge emphasized again, "I studied science, what's wrong?"
"It's even more wrong for science subjects. Can't you figure it out just by looking at it?" Li Dongshui said as if it was a matter of course.
Xu Ge: ???
"I'm asking about science, you're talking to me about metaphysics, right?"
"No, I knew about wind speed and weight when I was in elementary school..."
Li Dongshui suddenly stopped mid-sentence and said, "Xu Ge, I remember where I've seen that Old Wang!"
"You really have seen him?" Xu Ge was a little surprised. "Where?"
"He was my uncle's comrade-in-arms. I performed in front of him when he came to see my uncle. I was still in elementary school at that time!" Li Dongshui recalled.
"Is your uncle also from the Wolf Brigade?" Xu Ge asked.
Kai Youmu told him that all the people selling things here were retired veterans from the Wolf Brigade. Since Li Dongshui's uncle could open a shooting range, he must have connections with the military.
Li Dongshui shook his head: "I don't know. My uncle never talked about his past."
The figure of Lanmao appeared in Xu Ge's mind.
He had not realized before that there was anything special about this Old Wang from the Northwest, and Kai Youmu and Du Hu were both familiar with him, so he must have been doing business in this area for many years.
But when he thought about how Lanmao was so obedient in front of Northwest Old Wang that night, Xu Ge couldn't help but become curious about Northwest Old Wang again.
. . .
. . .
The wind came and went quickly, but even though it stopped, the sky remained gloomy.
The reason why Du Hu asked Xu Ge to buy 84 disinfectant was that he originally planned to take everyone to soak and wash the sheets at noon, but seeing the current weather, he had to cancel the plan.
As expected, snowflakes began to fall from the sky before dinner, which excited some new recruits who had never seen snow.
Even Xu Ge had the illusion that the New Year was approaching.
During the time it took to eat a meal, the snow fell heavier and heavier, with no sign of stopping.
The company commanders and platoon leaders began to patrol the dormitories, emphasizing the importance of keeping warm.
The warehouse was opened and the recruits took out their military coats and thermal underwear.
He had only heard about it before, and this was the first time Xu Ge witnessed the four seasons change so quickly within a day.
Since it was snowing heavily, outdoor activities naturally could not be carried out. Everyone stayed in the classroom, either playing poker or playing games on their mobile phones.
The snow fell heavier and heavier and didn't stop until the lights went out.
The boiler room in the camp was restarted and heating began.
Du Hu urged all the new recruits to soak their feet in hot water. After collecting their cell phones, everyone went to bed. Even Kai Youmu, who had to do extra physical training every day, went to bed early.
Snowy days are suitable for sleeping, so Xu Ge fell asleep early.
"Everyone get up!"
Late at night, a loud shout suddenly woke everyone up.
Du Hu suddenly sat up from the bed and kicked Xu Ge's leg: "Do you want to die?"
It was impossible for the troops to hold an emergency assembly in this kind of weather, and he didn't hear any whistle, so Du Hu's first reaction was that Xu Ge was playing a prank again.
After being kicked, Xu Ge was confused: "Squad leader, it really wasn't me!"
Bang!
The lights came on, and the brightness made everyone squint their eyes.
Only then did Xu Ge notice that there was a figure wearing a military coat standing at the door.
"I was the one who yelled to get up!"
Luo Shan's serious voice rang out, "An order has been issued! The first company will assemble and march immediately!"
