When you're in the Wolf Pack, your ability to obey orders becomes stronger.

Chapter 33 They are soldiers, not pigs!

"Fellow villager, so this is the pregnant baby you were talking about. We thought it was your daughter."

Du Hu handed over the white dog he was holding, saying, "I was just thinking you don't look that old, haha!"

"Thank you, thank you so much, comrades of the People's Liberation Army!"

The driver took his dog like a precious treasure and made as if he was about to kneel down, but the crowd stopped him.

"You mustn't do this, fellow villager!" Luo Shan said sternly.

"Platoon leader, you don't know, I, Old Wei, have been all alone all my life, and these children are my everything!"

Luo Shan told Old Wei to quickly put the dog in the car to prevent it from freezing, and then asked, "Old Wei, can you tell me what happened with the person who took your dog before?"

After Old Wei's explanation, everyone learned that the poacher had stopped cars on the national highway earlier that night, claiming to be a tourist who had accidentally gotten separated from his group.

Seeing the man's pitiful state and the heavy snowfall, Old Wei kindly let him get in his car.

The man seemed to know a lot about hunting dogs, and he chatted quite familiarly with Old Wei along the way. Unexpectedly, when he learned that there were soldiers ahead, he suddenly knocked Old Wei unconscious and snatched the doll away.

Du Hu also stepped forward and asked a couple of questions, and learned that the dog was not only purebred, but also bred by a purebred male dog he found back in his hometown.

"Purebred military dogs are quite remarkable; they're very rare these days!" Du Hu, as a future military dog ​​trainer, is quite knowledgeable about various dog breeds.

"Yes, I was careless and trusted people too much!"

Old Wei looked at Luo Shan and asked, "Platoon leader, why didn't you arrest that son of a bitch?"

"That man is a poacher; he has already been handed over to the police."

Luo Shan casually replied, "Fellow villager, there are no obstacles ahead, you should hurry up and set off!"

"How can that be? I saw the huge thunderstorm on the mountain just now. You risked so much danger to find my child. If I just leave like this, would I even be human?"

Old Wei immediately panicked, "This truck is empty, all of you get in, I'll take you back!"

Luo Shan immediately refused: "Fellow villager, the mountain road is slippery and difficult to walk on..."

"My tires have snow chains!"

"We have regulations that keep the location of our base confidential..."

"Oh, aren't you in the valley next to the nameless lake?"

Old Wei pointed precisely in the direction of the recruit camp, "I've been running this road for years, I can see it every time I pass the pass, what's the point of keeping it a secret!"

"Let me tell you, Platoon Leader, this isn't over yet. Once I've finished loading the goods in Shigatse and got everything done, I'll definitely come back to thank your unit!"

Since they've already said that, it's hard to refuse their kind invitation.

After asking for permission via walkie-talkie, Luo Shan led the new recruits onto the vehicle.

Old Wei is indeed an experienced driver; he drove smoothly on the mountain road, and everyone in the back of the truck felt no bumps at all, making it much more comfortable than when he joined the army.

Halfway there, Luo Shan checked his watch, then stretched out his shovel and knocked twice on the outside of the driver's side door.

The truck braked immediately and stopped. Old Wei stuck his head out and looked back: "What's wrong, Platoon Leader? Did we take the wrong route?"

"That's right."

Luo Shan pointed to the group of people behind him and said, "Fellow villager, you need to understand, you're transporting a truckload of soldiers, not a truckload of pigs!"

Old Wei was taken aback at first, then quickly apologized: "Oh, I'm so sorry, did I bump you? I'll drive slower!"

"Fellow villager, that's not what I meant!"

Luo Shan explained, "The pigs will be thrown off, but they won't. Just keep going faster. It's too slow now, not even as fast as walking!"

The new recruits: ? ? ? "Okay, got it!" Old Wei replied.

The next moment, with the roar of the engine, the truck went full throttle, and the people in the truck bed immediately swayed and staggered.

. . .

. . .

Upon reaching the hilltop outside the camp gate, Luo Shan stopped the truck, explaining that the road ahead was too slippery and that they would walk back.

Old Wei thanked him profusely again, saying he would definitely come back to present the banner. Only after Luo Shan nodded in agreement did he turn and leave.

Everyone trudged back through the snow, and by the time they returned the tools it was already past 3 a.m. The people in the second and third rows had long since finished their midnight snack and gone to bed.

"The cooks have made noodles. If you're hungry, go eat some. If not, go to bed early and wake up later tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

The recruits were exhausted after several hours of this ordeal, and most of them said they just wanted to lie down as soon as possible.

Xu Ge didn't want to go either, but when he saw Kaiyoumu and Luoshan heading towards the cafeteria, he followed them.

"Xu Ge, are you hungry? I still have plenty of food here. Aren't you worried about going to the cafeteria?" Li Dongshui asked, following behind.

"Don't you want to know who that guy who called out 'platoon leader' and 'instructor' was? Let's go ask him while there are fewer people around!" Xu Ge whispered.

Upon hearing this, Li Dongshui immediately became interested and quickened his pace.

When they arrived at the canteen, there were only a few people eating noodles. Luo Shan had just taken out his bowl when Xu Ge snatched it away: "Platoon leader, you sit down first, I'll go get you some food!"

"What's wrong? You want to be my messenger, huh?" Luo Shan joked with a smile, then let Xu Ge go.

Over there, Li Dongshui was talking to the cook in charge of serving noodles, holding a bowl.

"Squad leader, you've worked so hard, getting up so late to cook noodles for us!"

"It's not hard work at all, it's all what I should do, hahaha!"

The cook said it wasn't hard work, but he looked at Luo Shan with a smile.
"Three platoons of men came to dinner tonight, and the rest didn't utter a sound! Platoon Leader Luo, you're a master commander, hahaha!"

After saying that, he bent down and added two poached eggs to each of their bowls without further ado.

Luo Shan felt proud after hearing this and happily invited the three of them to join him for dinner.

"Not bad, Li Dongshui! She's pleasing to the eye and has a sweet tongue. She got eight fried eggs with just one word! Hahaha!"

Luo Shan urged the three to eat quickly, "Eat it while it's hot, it'll get cold soon!"

Xu Ge wasn't actually hungry. He picked up a fried egg from his bowl and put it into Kaiyou's wooden bowl: "Squad leader, you're getting better and better at using chopsticks with your left hand lately!"

Luo Shan glanced at Kaiyoumu, who was holding chopsticks in his left hand, after hearing this: "You're planning to register after the New Year?"

"Mmm!" Kaiyu nodded and ate his noodles with gusto.

"It just so happens that the army will start combat training next month, and I'll give you some extra help then."

Kaiyu was overjoyed: "Thank you, Platoon Leader!"

Xu Ge and Li Dongshui exchanged a glance, and Xu Ge gently kicked him from below.

Li Dongshui understood and asked in a low voice, "Platoon leader, that guy called you 'instructor' tonight, did you teach him too?"

Perhaps it was because there were fewer people around, or perhaps Luo Shan was in a good mood, but after hearing these words, he wasn't as serious as he had been on the mountain before, and he nodded with a smile:
"I taught them for two months."
