"What's going on?" A man wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army asked suspiciously as he looked at the corpses of the Japanese in Laiyang County.
"Captain, Laiyang County seems to have been breached!"
"Which army is it?"
"I don't know, but, Captain, do we still need to be here?"
"No, order the soldiers to retreat quickly!"
"yes!"

Qingfengzhai Juyi Hall
Xiao Ya was sitting in the Juyi Hall, drowsy. It was already past 8 o'clock in the morning.
"Mrs. Second Master, Second Master and the others are back!"
Hearing the sound, Xiao Ya suddenly woke up, and then realized that Zhou Weiguo and others were back. She immediately stood up and wanted to go to see Zhou Weiguo. However, she had been sitting for too long and did not stop. Fortunately, there was someone beside her.
The table actually held up.
At this time, Zhou Weiguo and others had already entered Qingfeng Village, and Zhou Weiguo was at the front because he heard that Xiao Ya sat in the Juyi Hall all night without sleeping.
"Xiao Ya!" Seeing that Xiao Ya almost fell down, Zhou Weiguo also ran over quickly.
"Weiguo, you're back!" Xiao Ya said softly, "That's great!" Then she hugged Zhou Weiguo.
"Well, I'm back!" Zhou Weiguo also said softly, hugging Xiao Ya, "I heard from brothers that you haven't slept all night, why don't you have a good rest?"
"I'm worried about you. After all, we are going to Laiyang County this time." Xiao Ya said, "I asked someone to cook porridge, and you are also tired after a long night. After eating the porridge, go and have a good rest."
Zhou Weiguo was also moved in his heart, and his heart seemed to be filled with something. His eyes when he looked at Xiao Ya were full of tenderness, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only say, "Okay."
Then, Zhu Ziming's voice came, "Hey, the relationship between the second head of the family and his wife is so good that it's enviable."
Hearing Zhu Ziming's voice, Xiao Yacai left Zhou Weiguo's arms and said, "Big brother is making fun of me again!"
Fang Shengli and others also chuckled at the side.
Zhou Weiguo immediately said, "Brother, Xiao Ya has prepared porridge. Let's eat some porridge first and then have a good rest."
"Okay." Zhu Ziming smiled.
"I've met the Master!" Xie Weiwei stepped forward and bowed to Xiao Ya.
"Weiguo, this?"
Zhou Weiguo shook his head and said with a smile, "This is the disciple I just accepted."
"Okay, then." Xiao Ya obviously felt a little weird calling her "Master's Wife" to a big man, "Let's eat some porridge together."
"Thank you, Master!" Xie Weiwei said happily.
"You're welcome."
…
Laiyang County
"Baga! Baga! Baga!" Konoe Fumi fired angrily into the sky, "Baga!"
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, basically all the imperial troops in the county are in pieces, and only a few of them are in the hospital now!"
"Have you found out which army it is?"
"No!"
"waste!"
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, if you want to attack our Laiyang County, it is impossible to do it without the strength of a division!"
"so what?"
"I suspect that they are the regular troops of the Kuomintang! They may be hiding near Laiyang!"
"Yo Xi! Rest and reorganize the troops immediately, and launch a raid on the anti-Japanese forces in the Laiyang area in three days! No matter if they are the Eighth Route Army or the Kuomintang army!"
"Hi!"
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, our arsenal, military rations and other military supplies have all been evacuated!"
"Nani! Baga! Baga! Baga!"
…
Qingfeng Village on the evening of June 7, 1938
After sleeping all day long, Zhou Weiguo finally felt relieved. Staying up late, fighting, and traveling were indeed very tiring. When he opened his eyes and saw Xiao Ya next to him, Zhou Weiguo suddenly felt satisfied. Life is like this, what more could he ask for.
"Are you awake?" Zhou Weiguo said softly when he saw Xiao Ya opening her eyes.
"Well, I woke up in the afternoon. I see you slept well." Xiao Ya looked at Zhou Weiguo with a smile in her eyes and said.
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhou Weiguo looked doting on his face and touched Xiao Ya's head.
"It's not hard work, my Ah Tu is the hard one." Xiao Ya felt sorry for Zhou Weiguo and wanted to risk her life.
"Fool! Who am I, Zhou Weiguo! The little devil's bullets can't hit me yet!" Zhou Weiguo said with a smile, "Get up when you wake up. The sun is going down now. We can make a lot of money from this battle.
We have emptied all the Japanese warehouses in Laiyang County!"
"Isn't that Japs going to be very angry?"
"Yes, I guess the little devil is getting angry right now." Zhou Weiguo laughed, "This much equipment is enough for us to equip many people. There is also food and quilts, which makes the brothers extremely happy."
Zhou Weiguo was talking when he saw Xiao Ya's face suddenly turned pale and her brows furrowed, "Xiao Ya, what's wrong with you?"
"Weiguo, my stomach hurts a little!" Xiao Ya said in a very soft voice.
"What's going on?" Zhou Weiguo said, "Xiao Ya, wait a minute, I'll go find the doctor!" Zhou Weiguo stood up and rushed out.
"Master, what's wrong?" Zhao Sheng happened to be coming to guard the gate for Zhou Weiguo at this time.
"Zhao Sheng, go and find a doctor!"
"Doctor?" Zhao Sheng saw that there was nothing strange about Zhou Weiguo, "Is it Madam?"
"Go quickly!"
"Oh! Okay! Okay!"
…
"Brother! Big brother!" Zhou Weiguo ran to Zhu Ziming's door and shouted loudly.
"What's wrong? Brother!" Zhu Ziming's voice came from inside the room.
"Brother, is there a doctor in the village?" Zhou Weiguo asked anxiously.
"Doctor?" Zhu Ziming opened the door, "Aren't my siblings the doctor?"
Zhou Weiguo slapped his forehead and then said, "It's Xiao Ya's stomachache! It looks like it hurts a lot!"
Immediately, Zhu Ziming's wife walked out of the room and said, "Sisters, do you have a stomachache? I'll go take a look!"
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you!"
Zhou Weiguo immediately followed him back to the room.
Inside Zhou Weiguo's room
"Sister, are you menstruating?"
Xiao Ya shook her head, "My period didn't come this month, it didn't come last month, it seems it didn't come last month either. But now, my stomach hurts so bad!"
Zhou Weiguo looked at Xiao Ya's pale face. Hearing these words, he immediately reacted. Linyi panicked in his heart! Xiao Ya was probably pregnant, and it was also possible that she had fetal motility!
"Brother!" Zhu Ziming also came over at this time, "How are you doing?"
"Brother, where is the old doctor? Xiao Ya may be pregnant! But now, it seems that she has fetal force!" Zhou Weiguo said anxiously.
"What? I will send someone to tie up a doctor immediately!" Zhu Ziming said immediately after hearing this.
…
"Xiao Ya, Xiao Ya!" Zhou Weiguo called Xiao Ya's name with a cry, "The doctor will be here soon, it's okay!"
"Weiguo, I'm fine." Xiao Ya said reluctantly.
"It's all my fault." Zhou Weiguo blamed himself, "I didn't protect you well."
"Brother, doctor, the doctor is here!" Zhu Ziming said breathlessly.
"Slow down, slow down!" An old gentleman was dragged all the way to Zhou Weiguo's room by Zhu Ziming, carrying a medicine box on his back.
"Doctor, please help my wife take a look!" Zhou Weiguo said quickly, "Maybe she has fetal force."
The old man regained his breath, put down the medicine box, looked at Xiao Ya's face, took Xiao Ya's hand, and then checked her pulse, shook his head, "How long have you been having stomachache?"
"It's been an hour since the pain started." Zhou Weiguo said quickly.
"Madam, your fetus is indeed moving, and it's moving very violently. I'm afraid the baby may be..." the old doctor said regretfully.
"Doctor, please, please keep the child!" Xiao Ya grabbed the old doctor's hand and said excitedly. This is her and Zhou Weiguo's first child, and she must keep it.
"Hey, let me give it a try." The old doctor immediately walked to the table and began to write the prescription, "Madam, you are already three months pregnant. Logically speaking, you should be pregnant soon after three months, but Madam, please see
My body is still very weak when I get up. I just checked my pulse and found that the pulse is not strong. And judging from the look on my wife's face, it should be an unstable fetus caused by overexertion for a long time. I am not sure that I can save the baby, so I can only give it a try.
"
"Doctor, thank you." Zhou Weiguo said quickly, "Doctor, is ginseng useful?"
"Madam, you are still in the early stages of pregnancy, and your constitution is relatively weak now. If you have ginseng, you can take a supplement. It will strengthen the foundation and strengthen the body, which is good for the child." The old man said in surprise, "If you have good ginseng, keep it."
The children are more confident."
"Captain, I found this at the Japs headquarters yesterday!" Zhang Ruikuan handed over a wooden box with an old ginseng in it.
"This is a wild ginseng that has been around for hundreds of years!" the old doctor said excitedly, "Okay, now I should be able to save the child! The adults can also recover."
Wild ginseng, which has been around for hundreds of years, is still rare. However, in the early stages of pregnancy, ginseng supplements can improve immunity and increase appetite, and can also relieve pregnancy fatigue.
Zhou Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Doctor, I'm sorry to bother you."
Xiao Ya, who was on the bed, also breathed a sigh of relief. Although her stomach still hurt, she happily touched her belly and said, "My child, mom will be able to see you in a few months."
Zhou Weiguo's eyes turned red and he walked out of the room.
Seeing this, Fang Shengli followed Zhou Weiguo out, followed by Zhu Ziming, and then Xu Hu and others also followed.
Fang Shengli patted Zhou Weiguo on the shoulder and said nothing.
"Shengli, am I particularly useless?" Zhou Weiguo said in a low tone, "I almost couldn't save the child. Xiao Ya has been pregnant for so long, I didn't even know, and she has been fleeing for the past few months. Xiao Ya yesterday
They waited for us all night!”
"Brother." Zhu Ziming wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. First, he didn't have a child yet, so he didn't know how to comfort him.
Fang Shengli said, "So, now you have to give them a stable life, drive the Japanese out, and build our own home!"
"I know." Zhou Weiguo's tone was firm, "But, I really feel guilty. Xiao Ya followed me and almost lost her life. I feel that I am really useless." For a moment, Zhou Weiguo was a little confused again.
, he had an unparalleled golden finger, and he lost Linyi and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. He even almost lost Xiao Ya as well.
"Master, if you have us, we will become stronger, give our wife and children a stable life, and we will drive the Japanese out of China!" Gan Xinda said firmly.
"That's right, brother, you must be more determined at this time! Your siblings are still pregnant, and you are going to be a father." Liu Sandao, "You are their pillar of support, so you can't back down."
"I understand," Zhou Weiguo took a deep breath, and then said firmly, "Everyone is right, not only for the children and Xiao Ya, but also for all Chinese people, I should firmly fight the Japanese
Drive them out and give their children a good future."
After two lifetimes, Zhou Weiguo experienced for the first time what it was like to be a father. He felt guilty for Xiao Ya and his children, and felt very uneasy inside. He couldn't help but doubt himself. In the future, even in the army, he would still be able to live.
