paddock

Yuan Ning and Chang Cang were destined to each other, and when New Year's Day was approaching, Li Yunjing from the association called Yuan Ning over again, saying that he had something to do.When Yuan Ning arrived, he found out that the song and dance troupe from the Dance Association and the Music Association were going to the north to greet them.

Yuan Ning: "..."

Li Yunjing asked gently: "What? Is there any arrangement for New Year's Day?" He looked at Yuan Ning, "Old Zhou told me, don't worry if no reliable person follows him."

What Yuan Ning could say, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree to the matter, and resigned himself to his fate to discuss with the "Old Zhou" in Li Yunjing's mouth.Lao Zhou is an artist, and so are all the people below. Although the song and dance troupe has a complete logistics team, Lao Zhou is still worried about letting such a group of people go to Changcang.

After all, Lao Zhou himself knows best how unreliable these people under him are.

Lao Zhou said: "This time, the condolences are all unworldly young girls and boys. Please help me to watch them more." He sighed, "It is really hard to guard the border. Alas, bring me some Give something to my friend, he is the leader over there, if you need anything, you can find him."

Yuan Ning soon met "little girls and young men who have never experienced anything in the world", good guys, most of them looked a few years older than him.Yuan Ning felt that he was wronged, he is also a young man who has never experienced anything in the world!Not yet of age!

Yuan Ning called Zhang Xiuyan and told Zhang Xiuyan that he couldn't go to Huaiqing on New Year's Day.Zhang Xiuyan didn't say anything after hearing this, he just told Yuan Ning to be careful and not to cause trouble.

Yuan Ning was even more aggrieved: "How can I, am I the kind of person who causes trouble casually?"

Zhang Xiuyan said: "You are indeed not someone who causes trouble casually, it's just that those things have grown up and found you."

Yuan Ning hung up the phone, determined not to cause any trouble this time, and set off with people on the eve of New Year's Eve.They first took a plane to the north, and when they got there, someone came to pick them up - they were actually acquaintances, that is, Du Chengcheng who went back to the capital to ask for money.

Du Jiancheng was wearing a fur hat and a thick coat, and his whole body was tightly wrapped.Seeing Yuan Ning, Du Jiancheng grinned, stepped forward and shook Yuan Ning's hand firmly, and said, "Junior brother, I didn't expect you to come here so soon. Don't rush back before you finish your condolences. Walk around here, and I will take you to see the ice project that just started this month."

Yuan Ning did not refuse, and talked to Du Jiancheng with a smile.The people in the song and dance troupe were a little surprised. They didn't expect Yuan Ning to have an acquaintance here. It seems that the other party's status here is not low.Although Changcang is backward in development, it is also the capital of Changcang after all!

Yuan Ning took the entire song and dance troupe to dinner in the provincial capital, and promised to rehearse a performance at the provincial theater before leaving for the army.

The guy who came to pick them up was a handsome guy from the army. He drove three cars, each of which could seat 30 people, which was not very comfortable. The wind was blowing, and the little girls were so cold that they didn't care about Ai Mei, so they brought Yuan Ning over The hats and coats prepared earlier were all tightly wrapped up, but even so, someone sneezed.

Yuan Ning talked with a few handsome guys who came to pick them up, and found that they were not very old, and after chatting, they talked a lot. They could talk about the border guards with some interesting things. Here, wolves and bears You can see the roe deer. Occasionally, you can catch a few wild rabbits during winter training, and take them home for an extra meal.Encountering wolves is a little troublesome. The recruits may not be able to handle it, and many bullets are wasted in vain.

When the group arrived at the camp, the living conditions were not particularly good, mainly due to the cold.Fortunately, everyone was mentally prepared before coming. Qiqi ate a dinner with broth, and rested in the residence prepared by the frontier army with peace of mind.

Yuan Ning woke up early in the morning and found that it was not yet dawn outside, and the sound of the wind and snow was a bit loud.It is said that the snow should stop today, but it is not certain.

Yuan Ning turned over and got out of bed, and walked out lightly. It was icy and snowy, and the water would freeze when it dripped down, but there was already the sound of training outside.The soldiers didn't seem to feel the cold at all, and ran against the wind and snow while shouting.

Yuan Ning felt that it was hard work and fresh, and after simply washing up, he quietly slid to the tail of the team and started running.

Xue was a bit distracted, and Yuan Ning couldn't keep up with it at first, and it took him a while to get used to it.

The leader in charge of training saw a half-grown boy running behind, slowed down a little, waited for Yuan Ning to follow, and joked with a smile: "You won't be able to eat breakfast like this."

Yuan Ning said: "Exercise is the main thing."

The other party smiled even wider, and said cheerfully: "You look thin and small, but you have a good foundation."

When the two of them spoke, they both exhaled white air, and Yuan Ning suspected that the air he exhaled immediately turned into ice.After hearing the compliment from the other party, Yuan Ning was very proud: "Of course, I have been exercising with my eldest brother since I was a child, and later I also learned basic self-defense skills from my fourth brother."

The other party became interested when they heard the self-defense technique: "Then you will compare with this group of brats later."

Yuan Ning smiled, followed the soldiers and ran out along the frozen road.

The snow on the road was gradually getting smaller, and Chaoyang slowly emerged from the ice and snow, revealing a red head.The trees beside the road were already covered with ice edges, their leaves had fallen off, and the branches were covered with ice sticks of different lengths. The sun shone through the accumulated clouds, making the ice trees shine brightly.

It was the first time Yuan Ning spent New Year's Day in such a desolate place.This is still a relatively good campsite!

The soldiers ran back to the camp, breakfast was ready, and the others got up one after another.

Yuan Ning gulped down the porridge and finished the cakes, and went to greet the members of the song and dance troupe to eat in an orderly manner.After Yuan Ning finished his busy work, he saw that the person who was in charge of watching Bingge's training in the morning was waving at him, and there was a middle-aged man with a straight figure standing beside him.Although the middle-aged man was close to fifty, his figure showed no signs of gaining weight. His shoulders and waist looked as if they had been cut out with a knife. They were so straight that he could run a boat.

Yuan Ning went over to say hello, only to realize that this is the leader here, whose surname is Qin, which is also the "Old Qin" in Lao Zhou's mouth.Seeing Yuan Ning's ruddy complexion, running around without panting, Lao Qin liked it very much, and asked someone to greet the members of the singing and dancing troupe, and took Yuan Ning to practice.Yuan Ning did learn some self-defense skills, but it was not enough for a ruthless veteran like Lao Qin. If Lao Qin's men were not merciful, he would have thrown him black and blue.

Yuan Ning groaned secretly in his heart, but he still had to deal with it seriously, and he carried it down with the stubbornness of not admitting defeat.After exercising his muscles and bones, Lao Qin felt refreshed, looked at Yuan Ning who had finally become slumped, and laughed: "You are not bad."

Yuan Ning took out the things that Lao Zhou asked him to bring, and gave them to Lao Qin.Lao Qin accepted it bluntly, and continued to work on celebrating New Year's Day tomorrow.

Old Qin reappeared at night, patted Yuan Ning on the shoulder, and led Yuan Ning out of the camp.Lao Qin went to a nearby village to find a few people, took baskets of steel drills, long rods, net bags, and some explosives, and a group of people fully armed went to the small frozen lake upstream.

The moonlight falls on the ice in the winter night, and it is dyed with the coolness of the ice and snow, so that people who walk in the ice and snow cannot warm up.

Lao Qin said: "Let's have an extra meal at noon. The fish here is not big, but the meat is tender and delicious. In the past, Lao Zhou and I were assigned to the paddock here, and we liked to eat this. It was grilled directly without seasoning. It’s delicious to eat.”

Only then did Yuan Ning know the origin of the two old Qin.He supported the steel drill under Lao Qin's guidance, and together with Lao Qin, he dug a hole in the ice.

Lao Qin didn't learn other people's cautious methods at all, so he sent Yuan Ning to bring the explosives, put them into the ice hole and light the fuse.

Yuan Ning had already run away, and the moment Lao Qin ran away, a high column of water exploded in the ice hole.

Yuan Ning was dumbfounded.

Lao Qin led Yuan Ning back again and took a photo with the flashlight. The neat fishes were swimming happily in the ice hole that had been enlarged many times. It moves its tail and flops back and forth.

Lao Qin greeted Yuan Ning to go back to the ice and use the long pole net he brought to catch fish, and in a short while he got three baskets full.There is no shortage of fish in the ice hole.Lao Qin didn't continue fishing, but asked the villagers who came together to help carry the fish back to the camp.

After finishing the busy work, Yuan Ning realized that he was sweating from the heat.

Lao Qin said: "I heard from Jiancheng that last time he went to the capital thanks to your help." He glanced at Yuan Ning, "I heard him talk about you, I still thought you were a spoiled and spoiled child, but I didn't expect you Pretty good."

Yuan Ning: "..."

It turned out that he was not only an acquaintance of Lao Zhou, but also an acquaintance of Du Jiancheng.What did Du Chengcheng say about him?It is said that he is very skilled in running relationships?Shameless bragging?

Yuan Ning said: "My elder brother taught them." No matter how he behaves or his living habits, there is a shadow of Zhang Xiuyan. Although he and Zhang Xiuyan are two completely different individuals, they But they influence each other and change each other.

"Your elder brother is very famous." Lao Qin had obviously heard of Zhang Xiuyan, "He is the most famous in your generation, and he is also the most capable. Many people don't even think of him as your generation. "

Hearing Lao Qin praised Zhang Xiuyan, Yuan Ning's face was full of pride, and he was happier than himself being praised: "Brother is very powerful!"

The two of them walked back while talking, and when they were about to reach the camp, Yuan Ning saw a dark crow standing on a treetop not far away, its claws were tightly grasping the icy branches, and it was crooked. look at them.Yuan Ning was stunned for a moment, then looked up, the crow didn't move, and stared at Yuan Ning for a moment, as if he wanted to say something to Yuan Ning.

Before Yuan Ning had time to take a closer look, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a handsome and tall figure standing in front of the gate of the camp.

The man was tall and tall, with a clean appearance, and when he looked carefully, didn't he have the face he had been thinking about day and night?

Yuan Ning happily ran up and hugged the visitor tightly: "Brother!"
