Chapter 397: Chapter 232: Morality and Rules (Part 2)
"Xiao Bao, I need to pee."
"Let’s see who can pee farther!"
"Of course, I can pee farther, I’m the brother!"
"That’s not certain, I’m already half a finger taller than Dabao!"
"..."
The two kids murmured as they walked over, and the people lying on the ground were drumming nervously in their hearts—who’s going to be the unlucky one? Dammit, Instructor Mo, it’s perfect that the young lady is clinging onto you, just perfect!
After the sound of "whoosh," "Xiao Bao, you lost, from now on you have to call me brother, not Dabao!"
"Brother, shall we grill some grasshoppers?"
"Didn’t mom say she’d let us cook under the pot tonight?"
"I want to eat them now!"
"Me too, do you have matches?"
"Yes!"
A rustling noise made everyone even more nervous. Those kids aren’t really going to grill grasshoppers here, right? Nobody wanted to end up like Qiu Shaoyun.
"Let’s go over there, grill them with dry leaves!"
"Okay!"
Listening to the fading footsteps, everyone finally relaxed. There were adults in the field; if they tried to start a fire somewhere else, they’d probably be stopped.
"Who got hit?" Someone asked.
"It was me!" A muffled voice came from where Xing Nong was lying.
Luo Ye tilted his head and looked over. Classmate Mou Nong’s back was wet, and crucially, the wetness extended down from the neck, no wonder she didn’t dare to move.
"Darn, did both kids pee on you?" Mou Ye asked, holding back laughter.
"I don’t know, anyway, it was warm for a while. Hmm, those two little rascals, if they fall into my hands, see if I don’t twist their little peckers off!"
"And me, I got hit too!" Sang Cao said pitifully raising his head: "All peed into my neck, it’s so wet and uncomfortable."
If someone were standing above, they would see the turf in the ditch shaking violently...
"Not good!" Luo Ye jumped up and rushed to the field. Two little boys were using dry cornstalks to grill grasshoppers behind a car, igniting all the cornstalks behind them, yet the boys squatting there focused on grilling, completely unaware!
The mother on the roof of the car had evidently seen the situation below and, in her panic, dove down from the truck bed. Fortunately, Zhan Hao was quick enough to catch her; otherwise, if she landed on the sharp stalks, it would have been disastrous.
After bringing the two little boys to the side, Luo Ye saw Jian Xingnong and Yaoguang embracing cornstalks to smother the fire, and quickly shouted, "Darn it, Demon, if you move the cornstalks farther away, the fire will be cut off!"
"That’s right, that’s right, got flustered!" Xing Nong slapped his head and ran to embrace the stalks behind. The owner of the field, his wife and father were stunned by the sudden emergence of several people, and for a moment, they forgot what they should be doing.
Seeing this, Luo Ye shouted, "Uncles, don’t dawdle, hurry up and move these stalks away, or if your land is scorched, will you even be able to plant anything?"
Mo Datong, Yue Santie, and others, through their binoculars, took in everything from a distance. Yue Santie turned to Mo Datong, "Boss, how do we count this?"
"Exposed is exposed!" Mo Datong checked the time, "Okay, there’s no point in staying hidden anymore, let’s go."
...
Inside the training compound, 21 trainees stood in a line. Mo Datong walked past each one, then stopped in the middle of the formation, "Today’s stealth mission, everyone performed well. Receiving a five-point reward are: Yan Han, Lu Jian, Yu Na, Ji Sisi, Liang Xiaorao, Li Jiping, Ding Yiming, Li Xiaobei."
"Report!"
"Step forward!"
Li Xiaobei stood out, "Instructor, I don’t want these five points."
Mo Datong furrowed his brows, "Why?"
"Reporting to the instructor, after the accident, Luo Ye, Zhan Hao, Yan Xingnong, Mo Yaoguang, Liu Xing, Wu Zetian, Jing Feng were the first to rush up. I didn’t move because back in my hometown, it’s common for people to burn corn and wheat stalks in the fields. I thought they might be doing the same here.
Later I understood that this place is drier than my hometown; burning would affect the next season’s crop yield. I’m a farmer’s daughter, and I know how important crops are to farmers, so I don’t want these five points."
"Return to the formation!"
"Yes!"
Mo Datong scanned the group and continued, "As for Luo Ye, Zhan Hao, and others’ actions, it needs to be discussed from two aspects. If this were in war, even if set on fire, one shouldn’t move, because that could affect the lives of thousands or even more people!
In principle, all our training should be based on the premise of being on the battlefield. However, strictly adhering to these rules is not the principle of our People’s Army.
Under today’s circumstances, if everyone remained motionless allowing the two little boys to be in danger or the entire land to be scorched, I believe the people would only be disappointed with us, questioning us!
So, from the standpoint of morality, I admire the actions of Luo Ye, Zhan Hao, Yan Xingnong, Mo Yaoguang, Liu Xing, Wu Zetian, Jing Feng. However, from a systemic standpoint, I can’t award them points. But..." Mo Datong paused for a long time, "Here, I request, let’s give them the warmest applause!"
"Clap clap clap..."
After the applause died down, Mo Datong walked up to Luo Ye, "Luo Ye, if you encounter this again, will you be the first to jump out?"
"Reporting to the instructor, I will!"
Mo Datong nodded, "Good, Luo Ye will be the squad leader for the female trainees. During the selection, everyone competes for themselves, but normally, you must follow Luo Ye’s lead. Zhan Hao will be the squad leader for the male trainees, with the same responsibilities as Luo Ye. Their positions will last until the end of training."
