Chen Zuwang very generously took off his clothes and put them in a linen bag.
Stand aside.
"Name, place of origin, age, health status" a young soldier asked sitting behind the table.
The form consisted of two pages. After filling it out, I tore off the lower page and it stuck to the linen bag with a pop.
"You two go inside. Behind you are your children. Wait a moment. Their clothes are also in the bag. Take care of your children and don't lose them. We don't have enough manpower and we are not responsible for watching over people.
"
When we entered the back, we saw a large pool filled with hot water. Many people were taking a bath.
Chen San's eyes are not strong enough.
"You guys come over here first, wash your hair first, and then take a bath." A soldier commanded.
Chen Zu took a look and saw a row of people here with their heads down and washing their hair in a basin on a wooden shelf. Their buns were spread out. They didn't know what they had put on their hair. Their hair was full of foam and they were scratching it with their hands.
.
When the scratching time is enough, they go to the side to rinse, then take their family members, wait for enough people to gather, and collectively enter the large pool and squat in it, with their necks exposed, and start taking a bath until the time is up. A soldier reminds the people inside
Come out collectively to change the next wave.
After coming out of the big pool, you enter the next large cotton tent. There are many wooden beds here. You lie down on them one by one. A soldier takes a burlap towel and starts to take a bath. After scrubbing, he pours a bucket of warm water and immediately rubs himself off.
The mud was washed clean.
Chen San and Chen Zuwang had not bathed for many years. Poor people could not afford firewood and boiling water had costs, so they naturally did not take a bath without washing. The itching was unbearable, so they went to the river to wash themselves in the middle of the night.
This is common among these people, and some even take baths three times in their lives.
After a while, someone came in and used a broom to remove the mud on the ground. These people were really dirty. The soldiers in the regiment training were constantly changing.
They were all very tired.
After taking a shower and drying off, I came out and was given new clothes, new shoes and socks. They were new inside and out, very thick cotton clothes and trousers.
Everyone was very excited, and many people asked if they wanted money.
The regiment training soldiers told them that there was no charge, it was free.
Many people cried with excitement.
I haven't worn new clothes in how many years.
After they came out and gathered the women's families, they were led to separate cotton tents according to family units. Chen San's tent was next to Chen Zuwang's tent.
The tents were all made of cotton, with thick felt on the floor inside, and a briquette iron stove. Chen San looked at his wife and daughters. They were all white and rosy after washing. My wife was twenty-seven years old. She had finished washing.
The shower looked so beautiful, my wife blushed when she saw it.
After an hour, when the hair was dry, a soldier came to the area and called everyone out. A tall and thick soldier stood on a wooden box, holding a loudspeaker, and shouted: "My name is Li.
Locust tree, don’t laugh, what’s so funny.”
The people below quickly suppressed their laughter.
"I am the administrator of your area. If you need anything, just come to me. I am in the tent at the entrance of this camp. Remember, I am in charge of you. Now I will start issuing metal ID tags. There are also kettles and lunch boxes. You have to be there.
Live here for three months. One is to see if you have any diseases. The other is to take classes and learn the survival experience of Nuergandusi. The third is to learn how to use fire guns and bayonets. Regardless of gender, as long as the age is
Everyone must learn from the age of fifteen to sixty. The beasts and savages there are very ferocious. Now you can ask questions. Don’t hold back anything you have to say. We soldiers will never be sloppy."
There was another round of laughter below.
"Master Bing, where are our belongings?"
"Don't be anxious about this. You can't throw it away. You can only take it back after the chemical prevention team has inspected it and confirmed that there are no cockroaches, bedbugs or other insects, and it has been disinfected."
"Master Bing, where are our clothes?"
"The clothes have to be boiled in boiling water and dried before I can give them to you. Just wait. If there are any missing clothes, I'll give you new ones."
"Master Bing, where are we going to eat and where are we going to go to the hut?"
There was laughter below.
"Why are you laughing? If someone doesn't eat, drink or poop, what's so funny?"
"The hut is a white tent, divided into men and women. There is a sign on the men's side, a portrait of a man, and a portrait of a woman on the women's side. There are a male soldier and a woman watching the entrance respectively. Don't go wrong.
If you make the wrong move, you will be punished."
"The cafeteria is a red tent."
"We gather when the bell rings every day. I will take you there for meals, classes, and learning how to use weapons, and I will take you back. It is strictly forbidden to leave the camp without permission. If you have anything to do, come to me first. Children under eight years old, if there is no elder at home to watch them,
Just send them to a kindergarten to watch, and those over eight years old will learn how to read. Anyway, they will stay here for three months and learn how many words they can recognize."
"I will announce the discipline in a moment, and those who violate it will be beaten with a military stick. Do you understand?"
"I understand."
"Speak louder, haven't you eaten?" Well, they really haven't eaten.
Everyone shouted: "I understand."
From that day on, people continued to enter the camp one after another, and soon it was full. The gate of the camp began to be closed. The soldiers of this corps were stationed in the tent at the entrance. The corps leader was the administrator Li Huaishu. Listen.
It was said that these soldiers would also go to Vladivostok with them on the same ship, and they were responsible for protecting their own people. If anything went wrong with the people in this camp, they would be responsible.
Chen Zuwang had been a soldier, but compared with the soldiers here, he felt that he was just a regiment driller.
At first, Chen San was very uncomfortable with the fact that an adult man had to get up early to run and exercise every day.
But here you can eat well, and the little faces of the children in the family are starting to become rounder. The three younger ones go to kindergarten, the two older ones learn to read, the wife helps in the kitchen, and they train by themselves, and sometimes they can meet each other at the training ground.
Wife.
Seeing his wife squinting one eye and setting off a firecracker, Chen San felt as if he was in another world. It felt like the whole world was unreal. Was this the wife who had given birth to five children? Even though at night, the children were all gone.
Even when he was asleep, his wife was still obedient to him and still so gentle.
My wife and I both learned a lot of words in the literacy class, and my wife cried all night when she wrote her name for the first time. In the fighting class, they both received a lot of beatings from the soldiers. If they didn't move properly, it would be like a cane.
It hurt so much when the thing hit me, and my wife cried under the quilt every night.
Master Li Huaishu shouted loudly: "If I slap you now, you can still hate me. If you are eaten by wild beasts and killed by savages, you will not even have the chance to hate me."
Fortunately, those classes ended quickly.
Later, a little girl came, who was said to have come from the accelerated class of Xinghe Academy for Girls. She taught everyone about survival in the wild. She also brought a lot of colorful wall charts to teach everyone how to identify poisonous mushrooms, wild vegetables, poisonous bugs, and poisonous things.
Snake etc.
How to identify the direction if you get lost in the forest, and what to do if you encounter a fierce beast. The little girl is very gentle and soft-spoken, and the knowledge she teaches is very trivial, such as how to prevent mosquitoes in summer and how to prevent frostbite in winter.
Looking at the colorful wall charts, these people who grew up in the pass sighed, the scenery in Nuergandusi is so beautiful. There are four distinct seasons here, spring is green, summer is the color of flowers blooming, autumn is golden, and winter is
A piece of silver-covered plain.
Especially the black land, people who look at it want to grab the oil out of their hands. Such good land makes people reluctant to part with it.
