Chapter 6: The squad leader of new recruits who is going to take the exam to become a military dog trainer.
Xu Ge followed Kai Youmu and jumped out of the truck. The sunlight above their heads was so bright that they had to squint their eyes.
The truck stopped on a cultivated high ground covered with gravel. In front of it was a group of veterans with gongs and drums tied around their waists and cymbals in their hands, beating them hard.
Xu Ge looked around and found himself in a huge camp with various training grounds crisscrossing each other, and several dormitory buildings standing beside the wall.
When I looked further away, I realized that the recruit company was located in a flat valley.
There are blue sky and white clouds in the distance, and a blue lake in the middle of the vast grassland. There is no desolate feeling of the Gobi Desert at all.
"The current recruit company is pretty good, great location!" Kai Youmu couldn't help but praise it.
The sound of gongs and drums stopped, and a group of veterans put the drums and cymbals aside, eager to try.
There were about 20 new recruits in the car, who were standing in two rows with their bags on their backs beside the car. They were stared at by the veterans, and most of them looked nervous.
Luo Shan glanced at Kai Youmu and then shouted, "First row, pick someone!"
Whoosh whoosh!
Three figures rushed over in an instant, raising the dust on the ground high.
The recruits didn't know what was going on and stood there, not daring to move.
But Kai Youmu was not a new recruit. He pulled Xu Ge's arm and immediately went towards a first-class non-commissioned officer on the far right.
The sergeant was also surprised to see that a new recruit dared to step out of the line. Then he seemed to think that these two guys were not very reliable, so he turned around and wanted to go around.
His idea was simple: it would be better to hand over these new recruits who acted recklessly upon arrival to other squad leaders for training.
Kaiyoumu was anxious. He pulled off his hat and shouted, "Du Hu, it's me!"
The sergeant named Du Hu was stunned for a moment, stopped and took a closer look, then cried out, "Fuck! Kai Youmu! Why are you back again?!"
Du Hu's shout immediately attracted everyone's attention. Not only the other two squad leaders in the first row, but also the squad leaders from other rows and even other companies behind him all came over.
This scene scared Xu Ge. He even felt that there was desire and possession in the eyes of each of these veterans.
Du Hu, who had just looked disgusted, immediately rushed over and hugged Kai Youmu, shouting, "Get out of here, I've already chosen this person!"
Kaiyoumu pulled Xu Ge in front of him as well: "And him too!"
Du Hu immediately changed his words without hesitation: "These two soldiers are from my squad!"
“Fuck!”
“What a pity!”
The other veterans looked distressed. You know, it was really lucky to have a veteran who had enlisted for the second time in the squad of the recruit company!
But that's how it is when it comes to recruiting new recruits: if you're slow, they'll be gone. The others immediately changed their targets and rushed towards the remaining recruits.
"Have you ever been to school, big man?"
“I didn’t finish high school.”
"Come on, follow me back to Class 3!"
Seeing that the third squad leader took down one first, the other squad leaders didn't bother to ask questions and just grabbed whoever they liked. In a flash, this batch of more than 20 recruits were divided up.
. . .
. . .
By this time, Du Hu had already brought Xu Ge and Kai Youmu to the dormitory building with his luggage and went straight into the first room on the first floor.
"We're here. This is our group. You two are the first to arrive. Sit down and rest first!" Du Hu greeted them warmly and casually placed their luggage on the upper bunk of the first bunk bed.
Xu Ge silently looked at Du Hu. This squad leader with small eyes had rough skin on his face and looked to be almost thirty years old.
However, judging from the opponent's rank of first-class non-commissioned officer, Du Hu is at most in his early twenties, and his current condition is probably caused by years of exposure to ultraviolet rays on the plateau.
The dormitory is quite large, with six bunk beds placed against the walls on both sides and a study table in the middle. Even so, there is still several dozen centimeters of space in front of each bed.
Du Hu's bed was the lower bunk on the left side of the door. The quilt on the bed was a little yellowed and neatly folded, with his hat and belt placed next to him.
This was the first time Xu Ge saw a soldier's "tofu blocks" in real life, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Du Hu's quilt was square and angular, and looked very pleasing to the eye. There was a book under his hat, and it looked like he was halfway through reading it.
"You sleep on the lower bunk, next to the squad leader!"
Kai Youmu pulled out a small stool from under the second bed next to him and handed it to Xu Ge. Then he casually took the book from under Du Hu's hat and began to read it.
"Oh, what do you think of this?" Kaiyoumu's tone was a little surprised.
Xu Ge looked up when he heard this, and saw a photo of a soldier and a hunting dog on the cover of the book, with the title "Military Dogs Searching People and Objects" below.
"Deputy Squad Leader, you might not know this, but our regiment will be establishing a military dog squad by the end of the year!" Du Hu said with a smile, "I'm preparing to take the trainer exam."
Kai Youmu was stunned: "Squad leader, what did you just call me?"
Du Hu smiled proudly: "Deputy squad leader, you are the deputy squad leader of the first squad of the first company of new recruits."
"When did it happen? How come I don't know about it? Who appointed him?"
"Don't you know now? I just appointed you!"
Du Hu looked at Xu Ge and said, "Your name is Xu Ge, right? Call the deputy squad leader!"
Although Xu Ge was also a little confused, he immediately stood up and saluted Kai Youmu, shouting, "Hello, Deputy Class Leader!"
"Ha-ya-mu!"
Kaiyoumu finally realized what was happening and glared at Du Hu, "I treat you like a brother and bring you the best talent. Are you treating me like a tool? I want to take over my shift!"
"Go change now. It would be strange if other squad leaders didn't treat you like an animal." Du Hu patted Kai Youmu's shoulder. "In my place, at most I'll let you lead the new recruits in training and housekeeping. I have to take the exam, so brothers, please help me share the burden!"
Kai Youmu looked unhappy: "I have to make time to train my physical fitness, how can I have so much energy?"
Du Hu's expression changed when he heard this: "Kai Youmu, why are you back again? Are you still thinking about going to the Eighth Company?"
Kai Youmu didn't say anything and just sat on the mat.
"It's not easy to get into the Eighth Company. You know they don't select people from the recruit company."
"I know. I'll sign up for the selection after I join the company!"
"Whatever you want, since you're here anyway." Du Hu sighed, "You two can take a break. I'll go get your personal belongings from the quartermaster."
"I brought a quilt. The new quilt can be stored directly in the warehouse."
After Du Hu left, Kai Youmu opened his backpack, took out the same yellowed old quilt and began to fold it on Xu Ge's upper bunk.
"Deputy squad leader, do you need help?" Xu Ge said in a low voice when he saw Kai Youmu was in a bad mood.
"No, you can watch me fold the quilt. This is the first thing you need to learn."
"yes!"
"Do you know why I don't use a new quilt? Because it's hard to fold!" Kai Youmu said as he started working, and in no time, the outline of a tofu block came out.
Xu Ge found obvious creases on Kai Youmu's old quilt, and he easily folded the quilt into a square according to those creases.
Kaiyoumu explained while controlling the line, and Xu Ge listened attentively. Unconsciously, the token emerged, and the second skill slot on the front lit up: "Housekeeping LVI (5/99)"
[100% implementation of current military orders, housekeeping proficiency +5]
At the same time, many techniques for folding quilts came to mind.
After folding the quilt, Kai Youmu got out of bed and began to explain some of the facilities in the class to Xu Ge. It seemed that he had taken the initiative to play the role of class deputy.
After taking a general look around, Xu Ge couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "Deputy Squad Leader, what is the Eighth Company you and the squad leader just mentioned? Is it also part of our regiment?"
"The original organization is that they are now an independent unit of the Wolf Brigade." Kai Youmu looked longingly. "You have heard of the Heavenly Wolf Assault..."
"Deputy squad leader! Xu Ge! Hurry, hurry, another car is here, come with me to grab the person!"
Before Kai Youmu could finish his words, Du Hu rushed in with a pile of sheets and quilts, threw them on the bed and shouted hurriedly.
