Chapter 12 Not Special Forces
Xiang Weiguo's words made Gao Yuan jump off the edge of the kang, and then he said with a shocked look on his face: "How did you tell?"
Luo Xingyu also looked shocked, looked at Weiguo and said with a smile: "I was not sure just now, but now I am sure. You two have not known each other for a long time, at most two days."
Xiang Weiguo was right, but how did he figure it out even after only two days of knowing each other?
Gao Yuan fell to the ground in admiration, and he trembled: "How did you see that!"
"It's very simple. She has obviously been hungry for a long time, and you have no signs of malnutrition at all. If you only care about yourself and ignore your sister, this would make sense, but judging from the way your sister protected you just now, she is definitely not long-term.
The way I was treated harshly by you."
"Damn, that makes sense!"
"Also, the clothes your sister is wearing are all brand new. I think they have only been worn for a day or two at most. In addition, her clothes hanging outside are already frozen. According to the temperature here, plus
The degree of freezing is, well, it must have been hung up directly after being washed without being wrung out yesterday afternoon. It cannot be more than the day before yesterday, so you must have only known each other for a day or two."
"Then it could be that she just washed her clothes yesterday."
Gao Yuan was not unconvinced, he just felt that what he said was normal, so he couldn't help but mention it.
Xiang Weiguo smiled and said: "What I said is clear enough. She just put on her new clothes and her old clothes were just washed yesterday. What's the matter? Did you keep her cold for so long and you were only willing to take out the clothes yesterday?"
Can she wear it? She must have changed into new clothes and washed the old clothes at the same time, it’s obvious at a glance.”
Gao Yuan was convinced, and he said with admiration: "Your eyes are really poisonous, and your kung fu is powerful enough. I am really convinced. Uncle Xiang, were you a special soldier before?"
Looking at Gao Yuan with the word "admiration" written all over his face, he smiled at Weiguo and said, "Not a special forces soldier."
"Isn't it?"
"But he is responsible for teaching special forces."
"ah!"
Gao Yuan was completely shocked. He smiled proudly at Weiguo and said, "Yes, I have never been a special soldier, but I have taught special forces for half my life."
Why keep a low profile?
Why be humble?
When asked about an old man's greatest achievement and proudest career in his life, Xiang Weiguo can certainly proudly tell others what he has done in his life!
Gao Yuan admired him very much, but he was also very confused and said: "You are not a special soldier but you taught a special soldier. What do you mean?"
Xiang Weiguo said with emotion: "I joined the army in 1978 and participated in the Battle of Annan in 1979. At that time, there was no name for special forces at all. We were called scouts at that time. We used a rope and a knife to detect and solve crimes."
Tongue-catching, that's what a scout does."
Gao Yuan was in awe, and said in a trembling voice: "That's the special forces."
"It doesn't matter, a scout is a scout. I went to the front line seven times during the war against Annan Kingdom and carried out more than a hundred missions. I am considered rich in experience. I have established three collective three
I got equal merit, one second-class collective merit, one third-class individual merit, and two second-class individual merits.”
"ah……"
Second-class personal merit, twice, and the person is still alive. Gao Yuan no longer admires and respects him, he kneels down and respects him, because Xiang Weiguo is a living legend.
Xiang Weiguo continued to smile and said: "Once I thought I was going to be glorious, maybe I could be awarded a first-class merit posthumously, but I didn't expect that I survived, so I couldn't get a first-class merit, and I was seriously injured and rested for half a year.
After that, I went to the front line again, and then I returned to the military region and became an instructor responsible for training scouts. Later, there was a special special forces unit, so I was transferred to Shanshui Army Academy. Well, I stayed there until I retired.
Retired with the rank of senior colonel."
Gao Yuan was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He could only stammer: "No wonder, no wonder you are so powerful, so great, so great!"
Xiang Weiguo smiled and said: "What's so great about it? To be honest, in the end, we, the old-school scouts' former instructors, were no longer able to teach today's special forces. The main reason was that we didn't have enough culture. Back then, we were just a rope and a knife.
, It’s different now, the conditions are different, I can’t handle many new things even if they are given to me. We also want to learn, but unfortunately the culture is not enough, so I can’t teach anything, and then I will retire when I get old.”
As a normal person, what is your first reaction when you see a treasured old man like Xiang Weiguo?
Of course, I want to find a master!
Even a fool would know the benefits of learning Kung Fu in these last days.
Gao Yuan stood stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly said: "Master, are you hungry? I'll cook meat for you. I also have cabbage. Pork stewed with cabbage. You take a break and drink some water. I'll go first..."
"Well, what did you call me?"
He accidentally said what was in his heart. He was a little too eager to flatter you. Gao Yuan himself also discovered this. He said sarcastically: "Uncle Xiang, please rest for a while and I will prepare some food for you."
Xiang Weiguo smiled and said, "Okay, thank you then. I'll take a rest first."
"Hey, just wait a moment."
Gao Yuan happily ran to the outer room, took a piece of wild boar meat, placed it on the chopping board and started cutting it.
After cutting the meat into pieces, Gao Yuan went back to the inner room to get two lunch boxes and said with a smile: "If you don't have anything to do with the big guys, just use this to cook the meat. It will be quick."
"Wait a moment."
Xiang Weiguo got off the kang. He looked at Gao Yuan with confusion and said, "Just cook meat like this?"
"Yes, just cook it like this."
"Well, is there any seasoning?"
"There is salt, but nothing else. Oh, and there are a few packets of instant noodle seasonings that I don't want to use and I still have them. Let's use this."
"You can keep it, I said you don't have pepper, anise, star anise, cinnamon or anything like that?"
Gao Yuan shook his head with a grimace and said, "I didn't think about preparing these at the time."
"Then your wild boar meat won't taste good."
After telling Wei Guo, Luo Xingyu said with deep sympathy: "Yes, it's just very difficult to eat, but... it's better than eating nothing at all."
He laughed and said to Wei Guo: "I'll do it."
In Gao Yuan's surprised eyes, Xiang Weiguo opened his backpack from the kang.
Xiang Weiguo's rucksack is one of those early-morning marching rucksacks. Although it can hold a lot of stuff, its function is just a big pocket with two straps.
However, there were a lot of things in the backpack. Xiang Weiguo first took out a package of things from the top of the backpack. The plastic bag was so tight that it was hard to tell what it was, and then he took out a pot from inside.
Gao Yuan blurted out: "March pot!"
"It's not for military use. I went to the mall and saw that it was practical and lightweight, so I bought one. My wife said it was useless, but in the end I ended up using it."
The outside of the pot Xiang Weiguo took out was dark, so it must have been used frequently, but having a big pot would be much more convenient.
Gao Yuan said cautiously: "Do you have any seasoning?"
Xiang Weiguo gave the pot to Gao Yuan and said, "You soak the meat in the pot and soak it in cold water. Change the water every half an hour. I'll go out for a while."
"What are you going to do?"
Xiang Weiguo smiled and said: "Wild boar is a good thing, don't waste it. I'll go find some seasoning and come back soon. Don't rush to cook the meat. It needs to be soaked for a while."
Xiang Weiguo leaned on his short stick and left Shi Shiran. He was not afraid that his backpack was still here.
Looking at Xiang Weiguo's back, Gao Yuan suddenly said: "Xiaoyu, we have met a great person and a noble person."
Luo Xingyu nodded, and then she said softly: "Brother, Uncle Xiang said that there is a large shelter outside. Do you think... should we go there?"
Gao Yuan hesitated, and Luo Xingyu immediately said: "If you go, I will go. If you don't go, I won't go either."
"We'll ask Uncle Xiang for details when he comes back. It's a bit early to say this now."
Gao Yuan didn't want to stay in this mountain village for the rest of his life, but he also felt that it was too early to leave now, so he hurriedly ended the topic and began to soak the meat in the water as told to Weiguo.
Gao Yuan could still see Xiang Weiguo, who was wandering around the edge of the village, but he soon entered the mountains.
He didn't know what kind of condiments Xiang Weiguo could find in this freezing cold weather. Gao Yuan was deeply doubtful about this.
About an hour later, Xiang Weiguo came back. He left empty-handed, but when he came back he had a plastic bag in his hand.
The big plastic bag was opened, and inside there were some grass roots, as well as a lot of peppercorns and ginger.
Gao Yuan was surprised and said, "What are these?"
"Zanthoxylum bungeanum. There are many Zanthoxylum bungeanum trees planted in the village. As expected, there are still some. The roots are wild onion flowers. Well, the flowers are gone, but the grass roots still have a smell. This is Jerusalem artichoke, not ginger. It is delicious when used as pickles, but it can also be used for seasoning.
, there’s nothing available in winter, that’s all.”
Gao Yuan could only nod. What else could he say? Let's learn in front of a person who is responsible for teaching special forces.
But Xiang Weiguo is in no hurry to cook meat.
"There's less meat, so take another pig out and cut it into big chunks, as big as your fist."
I don't know what Xiang Weiguo wants to do, but Gao Yuan just does what Xiang Weiguo says.
After sending Gao Yuan to cut the meat, Xiang Weiguo looked at Luo Xingyu and said, "What medicine did you take? How do you feel now? Is there phlegm in your cough?"
Luo Xingyu said blankly: "I don't feel anything. I coughed and there was no phlegm."
"Well, how long have you been hungry? How many pounds were you before and how many pounds are you now?"
"I haven't eaten enough in two months... It turned out to be 99 pounds, but I don't know now."
Xiang Weiguo thought for a moment and said: "It used to be one hundred pounds, but now it's eighty pounds. You've lost too much weight and your body is very weak. This will not be easy to handle."
"Uncle Xiang, I turned out to be 99 pounds..."
"Are you still worried about a pound or two now?"
Xiang Weiguo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at Gao Yuan and said, "What medicine do you have? How much is it?"
Gao Yuan now bowed to Xiang Weiguo, who admired him, and he immediately said: "There are all kinds of commonly used medicines, including twenty boxes of cephalosporins, twenty bottles of one hundred tablets of ibuprofen, ten boxes of diarrhea medicine, and ten cold medicines."
The box, uh, all the scattered items should be in the medicine box, they are all commonly used medicines."
This time it was Xiang Weiguo's turn to be surprised. He was very surprised and said: "Did you rob the pharmacy or something? There are so many?"
