The border line, Houthi outpost.

This is a border post that is lonely enough to drive anyone crazy. It is in the mountains, but not on the peak, on a relatively flat ground with an altitude of nearly five thousand meters.

There is no people in a radius of more than 200 kilometers. The outpost is in the east and the boundary markers are in the west. They are only 500 meters apart.

There is no spring, no autumn, only summer and winter.

When the ice and snow melt, summer begins; when the snow melts, winter begins. Once winter begins, it is difficult for both materials and vehicles to enter.

Simply put, this is a forgotten snowy plateau.

"There is a mountain in front and a mountain behind. Our place is just sandwiched in the middle." The squad leader Li, who came to pick up Ge Zhen, introduced: "It turned out to be a military horse farm. After it was abandoned, it was set up. We don't have much work, just guard the ten-kilometer border."

The outpost squad leader Lao Li, a second-level non-commissioned officer, looked like he was already forty years old.

Two red and purple lumps on his cheeks, and blood can be clearly seen. This is what he has been stationed on the plateau and is exposed to ultraviolet rays all year round.

And the skin is extremely dry, the old tree bark looks like, and the face looks like.

It was spring, but it was still covered with snow. The outpost squad leader Lao Li took a big wolf dog and connected Ge Zhen to the place where the car really couldn't move forward.

The result of the treatment was over. Ge Zhen did not go to prison, but was thrown into this corner.

"Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!..."

The two men walked towards the outpost, stepping on the snow that could drown their knees, making a creaking sound.

"Old Li, how many people are there?" Ge Zhen asked.

"9 people... no, you're 10." Old Li rubbed his red and purple cheeks and smiled: "This is the first time our first squad 1st row and 2nd class is full. When we arrived at the outpost, I asked Lao Tao to make a meal of 1984 pig steaks for you, haha."

"Old Tao?"

"I came half a month earlier than you, which made me so happy. Guess what? Lao Tao turned out to be the squad leader of the cooking team!" Lao Li laughed so much: "The cooking is delicious, and we have gained weight recently, haha."

"Is it called Tao Yonggang?" Ge Zhen asked anxiously.

"Yes, it's called Tao Yonggang, do you know him?" Old Li looked surprised.

"Of course I know each other, we are from the same squadron!" Ge Zhen was ecstatic.

"That's good relationship, that's good relationship!" Old Li was overjoyed, and he was so simple and honest that he was happy for Ge Zhen.

"Go quickly, go quickly." Ge Zhen urged.

"It's not fast, there are still more than 20 kilometers. If you walk too fast, you will lose oxygen. You know how to travel here. You have to be anxious or impatient, haha. Don't worry, I know that you can reach the outpost before dark."

"Okay!" Ge Zhen smiled and said, "The dog is barking Saihu?"

"What dog? This is our boss!" Old Li smiled and said, "It has served here for longer than any of us. If you don't believe it, call it."

Saihu walked forward slowly, turned his head and glanced at Ge Zhen.

"Skip Tiger!" Ge Zhen shouted.

Unfortunately, this dog didn't even look at him, and it was full of pride.

"Boss!" Ge Zhen shouted again.

Hearing the screams, Saihu turned slowly: "Wang!"

"Hahaha... The boss is amazing, the boss is awesome! Hahaha..."

“…”

After being assigned here, Ge Zhen was not only not disappointed, but was quite happy, especially after knowing that Tao Yonggang had also arrived here, he was even more excited.

He remembered that he had never seen Tao Yonggang during the assessment. He thought he had disappeared, but who knew that he would come to the Houthi outpost one step ahead of time.

"One summer, the veteran brought the recruits up the mountain, and snowflakes floated from the middle of the mountain. The recruits said they were so cold that they breathed a little short of breath... Veteran, veteran, how could you stay in this barren snowy ridge for so many years..."

Old Li, who was walking in front, sang a song in his heavy voice. Although he was a little incomplete inclination, he was full of emotions.

"The altitude here is very high and there is no people everywhere. As long as you grit your teeth and persist, you will get used to it slowly. As long as you climb to the top of the mountain, you can see far... You can see the sun, moon, stars, the north and south of the river, and the relatives in your hometown. They are on the other side of the mountain..."

Listening to Lao Li's song and looking at the snowy plateau that could not be seen at a glance, an indescribable excitement suddenly surged in Ge Zhen's heart.

This is an ordinary and greatness that will never be discovered.

...

At five o'clock in the afternoon, when it was about to dark, Lao Li brought Ge Zhen to the outpost.

This is a house with a spacious large courtyard with a flagpole erected in the middle and a five-star red flag fluttering with the wind.

"The person is being picked up, come out to welcome him quickly." As soon as he entered the yard, Lao Li shouted loudly.

Several soldiers opened the door and walked out, and were blown by the cold wind and immediately shrank their heads.

"Welcome...warm welcome...warm welcome..." Several soldiers moved their mouths and smiled.

"Hey, what's going on? Applause, what's the point of wiping your mouth?" Old Li said.

"Oh, Lao Li, it's cold, I can't stretch my hands." A soldier with a high-ranking red face on his face smiled and said, "Welcome, the most important thing is the heart. In our place, all actions are unnecessary, and heart is eternal."

"Hey, you Ma Weiguo, have you become a veteran and become sloppy?" Old Li cursed with a smile: "You can't even make a sound if you can't stretch out your hand?"

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

Several soldiers knocked on the door frame with wooden sticks, and made a sound to express their welcome.

"Haha, Ge Zhen, that's it here. There are no such rules. Just get used to it, just get used to it." Old Li said to Ge Zhen with a smile.

"It's great, I just don't like the rules." Ge Zhen smiled, took out a few boxes of Heilanzhou from his bag, and threw them over: "Brothers and follow up."

Several recruits were so happy that they quickly reached out to take the cigarette.

"Heilanzhou!"

"Not bad, I've decided to hand over your brother!"

"From the future, I will be my own family, and I will say something."

“…”

Ge Zhen smiled even brighter, and he liked the atmosphere here very much.

"Hey, where are He Jun and a few people?" Old Li asked.

"Check things inside. When you are not here, the agency calls and asks them to take the exam."

Hearing this, Old Li was stunned for a moment, and then smiled so hard that he couldn't stop. However, Ge Zhen saw a hint of helplessness and bitterness in his eyes.

In the dormitory of the first and second squads, four soldiers had already packed up their things. After seeing Lao Li coming, they showed an awkward smile on their faces.

"Squad leader, the detachment notified us to take the exam, this..."

"Good thing, our first and second classes are going to be a major cadre!" Old Li patted the other party's shoulder and smiled: "Tomorrow I will personally send you to the ride center. After going there, I will perform steadily. You have to be admitted to the military academy and give us our first and second classes a good face."

"Yes! Hehe..."

The four soldiers who were preparing to take the military academy ignored Ge Zhen, and Ge Zhen was too lazy to pay attention to them. He walked straight to the inside and saw Tao Yonggang busy around the stove.

"Squad Leader Tao!"

Ge Zhen shouted, rushed forward and hugged Tao Yonggang tightly.

The second squadron is gone, and there are still people in the second squadron. It is hard to express his mood at this moment. This is an excitement that seems to be a different life.
