At six o'clock in the morning the next day, the transportation team came out in full force, driving three large vehicles and riding dozens of horses borrowed from the logistics department and set off in the direction of Ertang Village.
Originally, Zhou Wen only planned to take some people there, but he couldn't resist the requests from the teenagers. After all, most of the team members had relatives in Ertang Village. What's more, there was Xu Dacheng, a fool who encouraged Hongxiu to follow him. Zhou Wen decided to make a big move.
With one wave, everyone goes. It also allows the team members who have been training hard recently to relax.
The marching column still maintained a combat formation. The reconnaissance team formed a fan shape and marched three miles forward to search and advance, followed by the assault team and the machine gun team. Two pike teams protected the convoy in the middle, and a pike team followed the rear. The artillery team followed the convoy. This area originally
It is the defense line of the Northwest Army. Although they have all been evacuated now, Zhou Wen does not dare to be careless. If there are still some small troops that are broken or lag behind, he may have to do something again.
The driver was naturally Old Uncle Wu and three other old brothers. Old Uncle Wu was talking to Zhou Yongbin in the car, Old Uncle Wei was also happily driving the truck, and only Old Uncle Zhang was unhappy. You said someone who just learned to drive a truck
Can people feel happy when they come back to drive the carriage again?
Speaking of old Uncle Zhang, he had a lot of trouble learning to drive. For a country man in his forties who is illiterate and has only seen cars a few times recently, it would be really difficult for him to learn to drive.
.The first batch to participate in driving lessons, and it was not until the fourth batch that they were barely able to leave. For twenty-eight days, the two masters also used all their strength to teach, and took turns driving the car for him day and night.
Old Uncle Zhang was a bit better. He knew how much he weighed, so he practiced hard and lost several pounds before finally leaving the gym. This time it was terrible, he became addicted to driving.
Watching the borrowed car returned to the logistics department, I felt itchy in my heart! So whenever I saw Zhou Wen, I would ask when I would buy the car, which made Zhou Wen avoid him.
The two driving instructors, Zhou Wen, did not deduct any money from them. Instead, each of them paid a little more to round up a thousand yuan. The bearded man was very grateful to Zhou Wen when he left, and even left his address in Shanghai.
Let Zhou Wen definitely find him if he goes to Shanghai.
As usual, Hongxiu sat on Zhou Wen's horse, but this time she was surprisingly well-behaved and kept silent. This was because she saw her elder brother wandering around, looking very worried.
Zhou Wen has not fully recovered from yesterday's shock and surprise. The incident of Uncle Huzi's death gave him an outlet and a sense of comfort for the self-blame and guilt he had been hiding deep in his heart since Wang Huzi's death.
He learned yesterday from Gao Xiaoshan and Uncle Wu that Gao Xiaoshan had been married since he was a child to the daughter of another old brother named Zhang. The old brother later died in the battle to attack the front line. His
The widow Zhang Aunt and daughter Zhang Erya have been supported by the regiment.
Later, after Wang Huzi took the child, he entrusted it to Aunt Zhang to raise him, and he became Erya's younger brother. Old Uncle Wu usually quietly sent money and food, and later Gao Xiaoshan often helped after joining the army, so his life was pretty good.
There was no shortage of food and clothing for the child. But Gao Xiaoshan only thought he was Wang Huzi's nephew.
Before the child was three years old, he was no different from other children. But as he grew older, the gap became clear. In village parlance, he was a fool, but in fact he was a bit mentally retarded. At that time, the country people were a bit discriminatory towards fools.
, and gave him a stupid name. But country people are used to giving their children stupid names, so Wang Huzi didn’t care.
But the fool knows very well who treats him well and who dislikes him, so he doesn't get along well with others. As time goes by, this child only associates with a few people who treat him well from the bottom of his heart, and others are a little discriminatory.
He doesn't pay any attention to him. He just plays by himself. In the morning, he likes to look up at the birds flying in the sky. He can watch them quietly all morning. In the afternoon, he plays in the mud by himself. At night, he goes to bed when it gets dark. Very
Regular and well-behaved.
Zhou Wen felt even more pity after hearing this and vowed to give this child a happy future.
After thinking about it, he said to Hongxiu: "Hongxiu, my brother is going to bring back a younger brother this time, but he is two years older than you, so you have to call him brother. He has lost his mother since he was a child, and has a brain disease. He is different from ordinary people.
It’s different. His father is gone now, which is very pitiful. But my brother cherishes him very much and wants to take him back to his hometown with us. Don’t look down on him in the future, but learn to respect him, take care of him and love him. Can you do it?
"
This was the first time Hongxiu saw Zhou Wen talking to her so solemnly. She immediately raised her little face and said to Zhou Wen: "Brother, I promise you that I will respect him, take care of him, and love him. When Hongxiu grows up,
I have to protect him and prevent others from bullying him." At the end of the sentence, Hongxiu waved her fist.
Zhou Wen smiled happily and said: "We, Hongxiu, are still the most obedient and sensible. Brother, I believe in you."
At this moment, Ergazi's voice came from the front: "Have you seen Xiaoli Village? Why is it all destroyed?" It turned out that the team had arrived at Xiaoli Village unknowingly. Zhou Wen looked over and saw this former man.
The arms black market, where various forces gather, is full of ruins. There is no intact house, and weeds have grown on some of the ruins. Bullet holes and craters can be seen everywhere.
"It seems like there was a war here! I hope all the villagers have escaped." Gao Xiaoshan sighed from the side.
This place is only thirty kilometers away from Ertang Village. Thinking of this, Zhou Wen and Gao Xiaoshan looked at each other and felt nervous. They ordered to speed up and hurry up. At the same time, they ordered Zhang Xiaoping's reconnaissance team to be more vigilant.
Along the way, the two of them had no intention of chatting anymore and kept urging everyone to hurry up. Only Xu Dacheng, a fool, was still bragging to his brothers about the story of ambushing Fatty Zhao and the bandits on this road.
At noon, the report from Zhang Xiaoping through the intercom made Zhou Wen anxious, "Brother, there is a battle in Ertang Village. There are more than fifty bandits looking like attacking the village. Some people in the village are shooting to resist, and there is also a Czech
The machine guns are firing. I think the bandits won't be able to get in for a while. Should I bring people up immediately to support them?"
Zhou Wen immediately ordered: "Xiaoping, you decide according to the situation. If it's not an emergency, don't shoot. Wait for support to come and fight together. Don't let us go. The assault team will arrive soon."
He immediately turned to Gao Xiaoshan and said: "Brother Shanzi, lead the team to speed up for support and bring the machine gun team."
Gao Xiaoshan also knew that the situation was urgent, and immediately said loudly: "The first group, the second group and the machine gun group are following me."
Zhou Wen watched Gao Xiaoshan gallop away with more than a dozen riders, and his heart returned to calm. With Xiaoping and Tijing here, there is no danger in Ertang Village. Gao Xiaoshan's support is mainly to annihilate the enemy. Dare to attack Ertang
The people in the village are all damn enemies. No one can escape. I just wonder in my heart. When I left last year, I only left a few rifles in Ertang Village. Why do we even have machine guns now? Those old and weak people in Ertang Village
