Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 624, Going North

Song Lin looked at Yang Xiaole and said, "Since the cavalry company has been expanded, there may be more people going out this time. In order to prevent them from going to the same place, everyone will be assigned a rough area.

Tomorrow is the National Day, and the day after tomorrow we will send you to the regiment headquarters to get the money and certificates. They will give you a rough idea of ​​where to buy the horses.

As for who will go, you can go back and discuss it. Report it to me when the time comes. Five to seven people will be enough this time, not too many. But you must ensure that all the horses in our company are delivered to the company in batches before next spring. "

Yang Xiaole nodded slightly when he heard this.

"Okay! If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

"Well, you go back first!"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole left the company immediately.

After the others left, Wei Zhiyong said worriedly, "Captain, is it okay to let these new recruits go? Don't let them run away halfway! There are people who ran away from other companies!"

Song Lin nodded: "It's not a difficult thing, but the journey back is quite long. Besides, our company has to keep the veterans to deal with emergencies. These animals belong to the country, so there is nothing to be afraid of. I'm just worried that it will be troublesome for these guys to come back on the way."

Hearing this, Wei Zhiyong nodded slightly.

He suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, Captain, Yang Xiaole's self-criticism hasn't been read yet? When will he read it?"

"No hurry, wait until his third prize comes, then we can go together, otherwise, our company will have meetings for him every day."

Song Lin said nonchalantly.

These words made Wei Zhiyong feel conflicted for a while.

Good man. It's too obvious that the company commander is covering up for someone.

Just before that, a letter of apology was read and everyone was asked to denounce him, and then a commendation meeting was held and everyone applauded him.

This……

How can you play like this!
But he couldn't say anything, after all, he had no say in the matter.

……

Tomorrow is National Day, so I am not in a hurry to work this afternoon and prepare for tomorrow.

As soon as Yang Xiaole returned, he was surrounded by these people.

Xu Jinbu asked anxiously: "Squad leader, squad leader, are you talking about buying horses? Who should go? Is it our class?"

"Yes!"

They were all there asking anxiously.

It has been three months. The recruit period is very boring. With such an opportunity, everyone would definitely want to go out and see the world.

Yang Xiaole looked at everyone's expectant eyes and nodded gently: "Yes, let's let our class go, and Platoon Leader Meng will lead the team."

These words made everyone happy for a while.

However, Yang Xiaole's next words made everyone frown: "But not all of us can go. Only half of our class can go."

"Ah? You can only go halfway!"

"That's right, who's going then?"

Everyone was asking there.

Li Jianguo said, "Squad leader, can you give us a chance this time? You can't be partial to some and ignore others, right?"

Many people agree with this statement.

Everyone has close relationships.

There are several people in the class who have a good relationship with Yang Xiaole.

Yang Xiaole naturally understood what he meant. Whenever there was something beneficial, he would bring people like Xu Jinbu and Zhang Xuefeng with him.

If it keeps on like this, there will definitely be complaints.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Zhao Gang, I will go with Platoon Leader Meng. You, as the deputy squad leader, can only stay behind and lead the rest of the comrades to participate in the training and labor."

Zhao Gang felt helpless when he heard this.

If Yang Xiaole leaves for something, he will take over and manage the remaining people.

"Okay, I get it. Who are you taking with you?"

Yang Xiaole said, "You pick the ones to stay, and I'll take the rest away! Okay, you pick five people, and I'll take five away."

These words made Zhao Gang raise his eyebrows.

Then he looked at him speechlessly.

Everyone has circles.

Yang Xiaole has a good relationship with Xu Jinbu, and the rest of the people have a good relationship with him, otherwise they would really become invisible.

But if he were asked to choose now, it would be difficult to choose.

Everyone wants to be with people they are familiar with.

Isn't this just throwing the problem to yourself to solve?
Take the blame yourself.

After thinking for a while, he looked at Song Guoqiang and the others and said, "Song Guoqiang, you, Sun Zhiyong, Zhao Aijun, and Zhang Guoqing, the four of you stay."

There are 11 people in the class, so half of them are gone except Yang Xiaole.

After hearing this, everyone had no choice but to agree.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole asked, "If you don't have any objections, then it's decided! Zhang Xuesong, Xu Jinbu, Li Jianguo, Liu Bing, and Pan Hao, the five of you will come with me when the time comes."

Hearing this, several people naturally agreed.

Then he looked at the others and said, "Don't feel bad for those who didn't go. We're going to buy horses this time, maybe to Inner Mongolia. It's even colder there than here. The company commander said that all the horses must be delivered next spring, but a batch must be sent back in advance. It's such a long journey, and we have to take care of the horses. How comfortable can you feel!"

After that, he smiled and said, "Okay, next time if we go somewhere else, I'll take you there."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

As they were talking, the dinner horn sounded, and everyone rushed to the cafeteria with their food in hand.

After so many days, the group has transferred a lot of kelp from other provinces to treat everyone's night blindness.

I ate kelp today.

……

The next day, everyone began to celebrate the 20th National Day after liberation.

It is impossible to participate in the military parade in the square, but each company still needs to hold its own flag-raising ceremony.

The evening brought another happy moment for everyone as they could eat meat on National Day.

This is the second time I have eaten meat after three months in the army.

After the National Day, that morning, Meng Zhiyuan and Yang Xiaole and others packed their bags, fully armed and got on the carriage to the regiment headquarters.

The purpose of carrying a gun is naturally to prevent special situations from occurring on the road.

In the morning, everyone came to the old regiment headquarters and contacted the person in charge of this matter.

And this time, there were not only them, but also people from two other companies.

Only a few people came, not too many.

After the people from the three companies arrived, they were called to a meeting.

A man on the stage was talking to the people present: "Three platoon leaders, there are three teams in our regiment this time. Because we are expanding the cavalry company on a large scale, the horse resources are relatively tight, and we cannot buy horses together.

Our group has been assigned to Xiguitu Banner, Hulunbuir League. The train will pass through there. When you get there, find the local neighborhood committee and they will make arrangements. We are not sure where to go. ..."

Yang Xiaole listened to what the other party was saying.

Now Hulunbuir is not a city, but Hulunbuir League.

When I heard the other party describe the place, it felt like the Yakeshi City of later generations.

"This time you need to bring 200 yuan. The price offered by the regiment is 4000 yuan per horse. Each platoon needs to bring yuan. When everything is done, send a telegram to the regiment. We will transfer the money.

And this time when you go there, you will not only buy horses, but also learn how to raise and train horses, including how to drive the horses back smoothly..."

Yang Xiaole was thinking there.

This is not an easy job!

It is almost a thousand kilometers from Hulunbuir to here.

If a horse can run 200 kilometers a day, it will take five days, because normally a horse needs to rest after running about 200 kilometers before it can run again the next day.

After all, horses have poor endurance. Then the other party gave Meng Zhiyuan and other platoon leaders a simple map, which was the route back from there.

As for how to get there, they don't care.

After the meeting, the group issued a certificate and gave them part of the money.

As for the final price for buying the horse, you will only know once you get there.

Because there is no fixed price for horses.

Everything had been explained clearly, the formalities, money, national food coupons, etc. had all been handed over, and a group of about twenty people were taken to the train station by the regiment's truck.

They will take the train to Harbin here.

Transfer in Harbin and get off directly at Xiguitu.

This railway line was built during the Tsarist Russia period.

After arriving at Hebei Station and waiting for two hours, everyone boarded the train to Harbin.

Two days later in the afternoon, the group got off the train and arrived at their destination.

After getting off the train, I asked someone and found the Xiguitu Banner Neighborhood Committee.

The local bannermen’s military department was found here.

At this time, everyone realized that Xiguitu Banner was actually equivalent to the county on their side, and they were equivalent to arriving at the county people's armed forces department.

The county corresponds to the banner, and the commune corresponds to a unit called sumu.

But now they have been changed to the names of communes.

A few people arrived at the place, found the people from the People's Armed Forces Department, and had a brief exchange with them.

The other party understood their purpose, and they had already received notice before, so naturally they had made some arrangements.

Afterwards, the three platoons were assigned to their respective sumus, or communes.

Xiguitu Banner is located in the Hulunbuir grassland, but is very close to the forest area of ​​Daxinganling.

Therefore, the terrain here is not all vast grassland with water, and the ground is not particularly flat.

There are forest areas and grassland areas.

Accompanied by people from the "county", we rushed towards our destination.

On the road, you can occasionally see scattered yurts and some cattle, sheep and horses grazing there.

The person leading the team is a Han Chinese, or rather, most of the management here is still mainly done by Han Chinese.

The other party was also wearing military uniform, or rather military uniform cloth.

While walking on the road, the other party told them about many taboos here.

For example, if the host invites you to drink butter tea, you have to drink it. Even if you really can't drink it, you still have to take a sip. It doesn't matter if you don't drink it.

When drinking, even if you don't drink, you should use your ring finger to dip in the wine and wipe your lips as a sign of respect.

Avoid throwing stolen goods into the fire, avoid stepping over the fire, etc.

Several people listened quietly.

After driving for more than an hour, the car stopped near a group of buildings mainly composed of yurts and some ordinary bricks and tiles.

The leader brought them to a yurt.

Let them wait there.

The other party shouted.

They spoke Mongolian, which these people couldn't understand.

After a while, an old man came out.

The other person was not very fat. He was wearing a plain leather Mongolian robe, leather pants and boots, and a hat on his head.

Yang Xiaole looked at the other person.

It's very similar to those on TV.

After the old man came out, he had a brief exchange with the other party.

The team leader Liu then introduced: "This is the Sumuda of Menglike Sumu, the director of the neighborhood committee of Menglike Commune. You can call him Director Ge, or Uncle Guli."

After that, he introduced to Gu Li: "These people are from the Heilongjiang Production and Construction Corps who came to buy horses. They need to stay with you for a while. This is Meng Zhiyuan, Platoon Leader Meng."

This time I used Mandarin.

Obviously the other party should be able to speak normal Chinese.

Sure enough, I heard the old man bowing and greeting several people with a smile: "Hello!"

Meng Zhiyuan saluted and said, "Hello, Director Ge! We are here to buy horses and learn a little bit. We will trouble you next."

Gu Li smiled and said, "It's okay, you guys come in first! I'll take you there after I finish my business."

Then I talked to Secretary Liu for a while.

Seeing this, Officer Liu said to the others, "Platoon Leader Meng, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."

"Sorry to bother you, Officer Liu!"

"You're welcome!"

After saying hello, he got in the car and left.

After the car drove away, Guli invited people in and was still very enthusiastic.

Meng Zhiyuan looked at him and said with a smile, "Director Ge, when can we go see the horses?"

The other party looked at them and said with a smile: "Comrades, don't worry, I will arrange for you to go to the horse farm in a while. We have already received the notice and will arrange it for you."

After that, he smiled at the few people and said, "You sit down for a while and drink something hot. I will take you to get a carriage."

As he spoke, he took out a large copper kettle and poured a few cups of water on a table that looked like a coffee table.

Seeing this, Meng Zhiyuan finally sat down.

Upon seeing this, Director Ge gave some instructions and then left.

A few people were left looking at the yurt curiously.

After all, few people have seen this kind of exotic building.

Xu Jinbu looked at a huge cow bone on the wall and said with a smile, "Sergeant, this cow bone is really big! It's well preserved."

Meng Zhiyuan took a look and then said, "Be careful. I told you when you came here. There are many rules here. Don't get into trouble."

Hearing this, everyone nodded slightly.

Looking at the butter tea in front of him, he picked it up curiously.

Zhang Xuesong held the bowl and asked curiously, "Is this butter tea?"

Then he picked it up and took a sip.

"Uh~~~"

After taking a sip, Zhang Xuesong was about to vomit.

"You'd better swallow it. Otherwise, something bad will happen."

Yang Xiaole reminded him before he was about to vomit.

Zhang Xuesong was looking for a place to vomit, but after hearing this, he swallowed the food.

Others didn't dare to drink it either.

Yang Xiaole picked it up and tasted it gently.

The taste is weird, but it's not unpalatable.

After putting it down, he nodded gently: "Yeah, I heard that too, anyway, you should be careful."

When I was in school in my previous life, my teacher talked about this situation.

It is said that they would start fighting if they had a disagreement.

It is unclear whether it is true or not.

Combined with what our team leader told us on the road today, I feel like this is not impossible.

PS: Sorry!
