The Big Landlord

Reflecting the bright moonlight and walking on the green grass, Wang Ben finished the new night's inspection of Dendrobium officinale, walked down the stairs, crossed the field ridges, and walked home.

As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I noticed a dark figure standing at the door from a distance. It didn't call the door, didn't make a sound, and didn't hide. It stood straight and motionless on the spot.

"Who?" Wang Ben couldn't help but asked loudly, shining the bright flashlight in his hand directly.

The black shadow did not dodge. After raising his hand to block the light, he said in a deep and familiar voice: "Book, it's me!"

"Zhan Wu! Are you on family leave?" Wang Ben exclaimed and asked happily. He quickly stepped forward and stretched out his fists at the same time, preparing for a collision.

Zhan Wu didn't make a sound. After reaching out to touch each other with half interest, he didn't shake hands tightly like before, but quickly took it back with a serious look on his face.

This is so abnormal, Wang Ben also realized at the same time, Zhan Wu has not been in the army for a year, there is no way to have family leave, and there is a lot of luggage on the ground, including military coats and military quilts. When I came back, it didn't look like I was coming back to visit relatives.

After helping carry the luggage into the house, closing the door tightly, and sitting down on the sofa, Wang Ben asked in confusion: "What happened?"

"I'm retired!" Zhan Wu replied very calmly, with a complicated tone, a little unwilling to be heavy, but also a little relaxed after relief.

Wang Ben had anticipated this possibility and was not too surprised, but he really couldn't figure it out and couldn't help asking in confusion: "What's going on?"

"I've been enduring the situation for almost a year, and I've had enough!" Zhan Wu said with a pair of eyes slightly widened, feeling very unhappy.

"Don't get excited, speak slowly!" Wang Ben poured a glass of hot water and handed it over, calmly reminding him.

He picked up the water glass and emptied it in one gulp, lit up a cigarette, and after taking a few puffs, Zhan Wu frowned. This man who never talked much began to pour out his heart.

At first, he was full of hopes to join the army. He thought it would be the most disciplined, fairest place and a suitable place for him. But as soon as he entered the recruit company, he began to be disappointed. The recruits were not treated as human beings at all. , if you don’t like it, you will be deliberately picked on, winked at, and provoked with words. As long as you make a wrong look, a group of instructors will rush up, pull out their belts, and beat them.

After a few months of military training, I thought it would be fine if I joined the company, but it was still not satisfactory. I had to wash the squad leader’s feet every day, not to mention washing smelly socks. If I didn’t do a little bit well, I would You have to get scolded a lot, and if you dare to talk back, the whole class will come looking for trouble.

If these were purely the habits and traditions that had been formed in the team for a long time, it would be nothing, but the recent events began to make him intolerable.

Not long ago, a fellow villager who went to join the army at the same time visited him enthusiastically. As a host, he invited the fellow villager to eat and drink in the camp's small restaurant. Unexpectedly, several car soldiers next to him pointed at them and kept saying this. Then, he kept chirping, and the fellow couldn't bear to hear it, so he glanced at him unhappily. As a result, he went up and beat him up without saying a word.

Pulling open his sleeves, a ten-centimeter-long gash on General Zhan's arm was clearly revealed. It was a masterpiece left at that time. It was nothing. The bridge of his fellow countryman's nose was completely overturned, and he is still lying in the hospital. Now, whether he can continue to serve as a soldier has become a question.

When this happened, Zhan Wu had no choice but to report it to his superiors. The result was really surprising. He was fined and sentenced to solitary confinement in the name of private drinking.

But nothing happened to that group of auto soldiers, and his instructor didn't even report a word to his superiors.

If this incident was a private act and he asked for it, the other incident made him really angry and was the main reason why he finally decided to leave the team.

Not long ago, in Zhan Wu's team, a chief of staff had a conflict with a soldier. As a result, the soldier and a group of people beat the chief of staff's wife, who was eight months pregnant and was about to give birth, into a miscarriage.

Zhan Wu happened to meet him at that time and wanted to help send him to the hospital. However, he was accused of meddling in his own business and was beaten instead.

The beating he received was nothing. He originally thought that the soldier would be severely punished, but in the end, due to some relationship reasons, he was not even criticized.

The impact of this incident was really bad. More and more people in the team were dissatisfied. All the staff even signed a letter and went directly to the General Staff. In the end, the General Staff personally came to ask for help before he had to deal with it. The result of the punishment made him very chilling. A recovery Changed career.

After all the above happened, Zhan Wu, who had always been aloof from his eyes, couldn't bear it anymore. In order to pursue the so-called fairness, he finally broke out after nearly a year of suppressing his anger in the team. When he was about to become a veteran, he decided to give up. , decided to recover.

These big words made Zhan Wu's veins pop out and his emotions were so high that in the end he could hardly control it. He raised his fingers and said impassionedly: "You tell me, what's the point of me staying in such an unfair place!"

Wang Ben did not interrupt during the whole process. After listening to the entire process quietly, he remained silent. He had never been in the army and did not know the situation clearly, so it was difficult to make any judgment.

It can be seen that Zhan Wu still loves the army. According to his character, it is not easy to endure until now. The occurrence of this series of things disappointed him so much that he finally chose to give up.

But there was one thing that Wang Ben couldn't understand, and he couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Is it so easy for the team to let you go?"

"I ran back on my own," Zhan Wu said truthfully. Because he had good qualities as a sergeant and performed well at ordinary times, his superiors were unwilling to let him go. He applied for transfer for a month with no results, so he finally had to make this move.

"..." Wang didn't know what to say. The consequences of being a deserter were very serious. Even though it was in peaceful times, if he really wanted to be investigated, he might be sentenced.

They casually gave Zhan Wu something to eat, and the two of them stayed quietly without making a sound. They remained motionless until Linglong finished her homework in the study and was about to go upstairs to sleep.

"Come on, take me home," Zhan Wu requested in a low voice, and then stood up.

"Aren't you afraid that your parents won't be able to bear it?" Wang Ben said hesitantly.

"After all, we have to face it. It's better to go back at night than during the day, so as not to make people in Quanxiu Water Bay laugh," Zhan Wu said calmly.

Wang Ben nodded knowingly, followed Zhan Wu, and walked slowly outside the house against the bright moon.
