Unknowingly, the sky turned dark, and the night submerged everything on the earth.
At this time, most people in the carriage were already asleep, with only a few dim lights left.
The few people who had just been playing cards were staggering around, sleeping soundly next to each other. The cards were scattered around, and no one was cleaning them up.
Xu Sanduo opened his eyes.
He was not used to traveling long distances, and it was difficult to fall asleep amidst such loud noises, unless he was really sleepy, but the night had just fallen at this time, and the sleepiness was not that strong yet.
Xu Sanduo read under the dim light in the carriage. What he read was "The Happy Prince".
But it is not an ordinary "The Happy Prince", but a book of "The Happy Prince" written in both English and Chinese.
Xu Sanduo saw it very hard.
Now, his level of Chinese is not very high. After all, he only has a junior high school education, so he is not even bilingual in English and Chinese. Although his junior high school also studies English, it is a mountain village middle school after all, and the level in all aspects is very backward.
But he still persisted.
Moreover, during this long period of study, he has figured out a set of bilingual views that are unique to him. He first covers up the Chinese characters below, blocks a paragraph of English, and then compares the Chinese characters below, comparing them two by two. Through this
With this method, at this time, he was able to read the book "The Happy Prince" without even guessing.
He watched very attentively and devotedly, and he is also a very emotional person, so even if he just guessed the meaning of those English words when reading, he was still so moved that he wiped his eyes, cried sentimentally, and burst into tears.
Chen Fei came back from the other side and saw Xu Sanduo like this. Inexplicably, he felt an incredible admiration in his heart.
To be honest, even he couldn't be like Xu Sanduo.
While learning English and reading Chinese, he has to be immersed in the world of words. Even if you give him a pornographic book, he can't devote himself to it and be immersed in it.
But Xu Sanduo did it.
So Xu Sanduo really has a quality that people have to admire.
In fact, Chen Fei had been avoiding Xu Sanduo intentionally before. On the one hand, Xu Sanduo was really annoying and always clinging to you. On the other hand, he was also worried that Xu Sanduo would destroy him. But now, when he saw Xu Sanduo like this, he suddenly
I felt a little guilty, feeling that I was not good enough to Xu Sanduo, and felt that I owed him a little.
"Xu Sanduo, don't look at it. The lighting in the car is not good, and the car is shaking a lot, which hurts your eyes. If you don't pay attention and make your eyes myopic, you will lose more than you gain. Your eyes will be ruined. Even if your English is very good, it will not be enough."
Good soldier." Chen Fei spoke softly.
Xu Sanduo sniffed and closed the book: "Monitor, this book is very good. It makes people very sad. Really, very sad. There is a statue of happiness. Suddenly one day he understood sadness. He
see……"
Xu Sanduo said nonchalantly.
In fact, none of the big soldiers around him would understand what he said!
Most of the people who serve in the army are rough guys with big nerves. Their favorite style is to eat big chunks of meat and drink from big bowls. Like Xu Sanduo at this moment, they have a loving relationship with their children. Most people are not good at it, don’t care about it, and don’t care.
Will understand.
But Chen Fei understands.
Chen Fei also has a soft side in his heart.
Chen Fei used to be a literary young man.
A common problem among literary and artistic young people is that their emotions are more delicate and sensitive.
"Xu Sanduo, don't look at it, it's not good for your eyes!"
"Yeah!" Xu Sanduo nodded.
He had no choice but to look outside the car, but it was dark outside and couldn't see anything. Occasionally, a few lights passed by.
He was still immersed in his story, looking outside and wiping tears.
At some point, he turned his head and suddenly found Chengcai in the other corner of the carriage, still looking outside like him.
Chen Fei left long ago.
Xu Sanduo knew that Cheng would not talk to him.
Recently, Chengcai deliberately distanced himself from him.
So he looked away.
I didn't want to, and with a swish, a cigarette was thrown over.
Xu Sanduo picked up the cigarette and found that it was thrown by Chengcai. Chengcai motioned to him and asked him to smoke one too.
Xu Sanduo picked up the cigarette and walked over gently: "Chengcai, I don't smoke. The monitor said I can't smoke."
He knew that this cigarette was a greeting from Chengcai to him, not really for him to smoke.
"Oh -" Chengcai put away the cigarette as expected, and then motioned for Xu Sanduo to sit down: "Xu Sanduo, sit down, we two fellows can't sleep, why don't we just chat."
"Okay." Xu Sanduo sat down.
"What were you thinking about just now?" Chengcai asked.
"I didn't think about anything."
"I'm counting. You've been looking outside for five hours, and I've been looking outside for four hours. This means you think more than me."
Xu Sanduo was embarrassed: "I didn't think about anything."
"Then you're still crying."
"That's what I found out from reading the book."
Chengcai glanced at Xu Sanduo's book: "The Happy Prince? Fairy tale? Haha, Xu Sanduo, how old are you to still read this kind of thing? I stopped reading when I was seven or eight years old. Can you read something practical?"
"Okay... do you think people will die of grief?" Xu Sanduo asked quietly.
"You want me to die? I asked you to think of something useful!" Chengcai was a little dissatisfied.
"Well, I thought about it."
Chengcai glanced at Xu Sanduo, as if the other party hadn't understood yet, and he continued: "I always think about useful things. For example, I often think about what I need to do to do better. In the last sniper competition,
Although I got the first place, I know that my level is nothing compared to others! If I want to stand out in the future, I have to do better! So every day I think about what I can do to make myself better.
His sniper skills have become even better, even surpassing those of King Kong!"
Xu Sanduo's eyes widened: "Chengcai, why do you want to compete with others? They are directly under the group army, the elite among the elites? Are you crazy for competing with others?"
"I'm not crazy!" Cheng Cai said calmly: "I just know that if I can't surpass them, even if I go to the military academy, I will still be nothing! If you want to get ahead, you have to be better than others!"
"Military academy?" Xu Sanduo's eyes widened in surprise.
"Well, after this exercise, I'm leaving! I'm going to the military academy!" Chengcai said seriously, then he patted Xu Sanduo on the shoulder: "Xu Sanduo, you will be alone from now on, so, you
You have to work hard, you have to learn from me, and get out of here as soon as possible!"
"Chengcai, you have changed!" Xu Sanduo murmured.
"I haven't changed. I've always been like this. I just work harder than before. I'm not you, Xu Sanduo, I'm not you."
"What do you mean?" Xu Sanduo didn't understand.
"Xu Sanduo, you are a smart man, don't stare at me. I discovered not long ago that you are the real smart man. I used to treat you as a fool, and you do look like a fool. But not long ago, I discovered
You are the real smart one
Man, I am the fool! Haha, I worked so hard and worked so hard, and I just got the first place in the division. But you, Xu Sanduo, got the first place in the division easily, and you even broke it.
Record! The regiment leader, company leader, and squad leader all like you so much!
At that time, I discovered, Xu Sanduo, you are the real smart person, but what is even more frightening is that you are more serious than a fool.
You are both a fool and a smart person, Xu Sanduo, you are so terrible!
In the Seventh Company, no one can beat you? Don’t you know?
Now, everyone in the class is overwhelmed by you. Not only our class, but the entire seventh company has been overwhelmed by you?
Lin Yu's 400 meters can't beat you, Ma Chao's fighting skills have been suppressed by you, and my sniping skills are about to catch up with you. In the entire seventh company, the squad leader is the only one who is better than you. Xu Sanduo, I'm getting better and better.
I found that as long as you are doing it for seven consecutive days, others will never get ahead.
So, I have to get out of this damn place quickly! Otherwise, sooner or later I will be overwhelmed by you!"
Xu Sanduo almost knitted his eyebrows together: "Chengcai, why do you say I'm smart? Don't say I'm smart, no one has ever said I'm smart."
Chengcai asked Xu Sanduo gently: "Do you know what smart means here?"
"I know, that means I'm good at finding opportunities."
Chengcai nodded: "Look, you also have this word in your heart, you know how to look for opportunities."
"You told me. You said survival is not easy and opportunities are limited."
"You remember?"
"I will remember whoever talks to me, and I will remember whoever talks to me." Xu Sanduo was a little anxious and his voice became louder.
Chengcai pointed to the mountains outside the car window: "Do you see the mountains outside? Do you know what mountains they are?"
Xu Sanduo: “I don’t know.”
Chengcai: "Yes, you were crying when I came here. Let me tell you, that is the mountain we passed by when we came here."
Xu Sanduo watched Chengcai silently.
Chengcai continued: "The first time you passed here, you just cried, but the second time you passed here, Xu Sanduo, you have already made the entire Seventh Steel Company fearful!" After a long silence, Chengcai said
