Zhou Wen said: "Don't be verbose. Just ask a few people to drive three carriages out and exchange them for fifty pieces of water. There are no bullets. Believe it or not, go and do it quickly."
When the minions sent out came back with fifty guns on their backs, Hao Laodao's outlook on life had truly collapsed. What a mess, were these ancestors just kidding themselves?
Not to mention Hao Laodao, whose three views were destroyed, Zhou Wen and the others have already driven the carriage on the road. Chief Qian has confirmed his guess. He is indeed a bandit. This mountain is his home, and there are bandit relatives wherever he goes.
.The intention of solicitation is stronger.
After talking all the way, Zhou Wen also heard what Chief Qian meant. After thinking about it, he said: "Chief Qian, we are really not bandits, we are just supplementary to the Third Regiment Transportation Team. You can tell by looking at our ages. We are all regiments."
The nephews of the elders here join the army to earn a living. As for the bandits just now, they were frightened by us. They are also vigilantes and do not kill people, so they exchanged their guns for carriages."
A group of people walked along the road at a very fast speed. By evening, they could already see the outline of Wuyang County in the distance.
Zhou Wen stopped and saluted to Chief Qian and Liu Ruoshui on the carriage: "Two officers, we will not enter the county seat. I also wish the two officers and brothers a safe journey.
Another small request is that sir, you did not encounter any transport team this time. You fought off the bandits yourself. After all, we also belong to the lineage of Marshal Feng, so it is not good to spread the word.
As for what Chief Qian values, I am not a ungrateful person. Although I also love the people's revolution, now is not the time. I still prioritize the tasks of the two officers."
When Zhou Wen said that the mission was the most important thing, Chief Qian was shocked. Yes, this time he came to recruit Shi Yousan. This was the top priority. He couldn't add extraneous matters and cause trouble for himself.
I value Zhou Wen even more in my heart. This is talent. People have already thought of things for you that you didn't expect. At your age, you've lived like a dog.
Thinking of this, he jumped out of the carriage, held his hands with Zhou Wen and said, "Okay, little brother, I will remember the kindness. I hope we can see each other again. We will see you later."
"Well, you two sirs will see you later." Zhou Wen said goodbye.
Chief Qian looked at the backs of the transport team as they receded, and sighed: "Brother Liu, this little brother Zhou is not a simple person! Not to mention his fighting skills, he is experienced in dealing with others, speaks and responds appropriately, and does everything in a flawless manner.
, and he always considers others. A golden phoenix flew out of this bandit's den. It's amazing, I feel like we will meet again in the future."
Liu Ruoshui also took over and said: "Yes, we will definitely meet. People like Brother Zhou will become famous sooner or later."
...
The open space in front of the regiment headquarters in Dawangzhuang has been turned into a hall. Since Wang Huzi became rich, he built a simple hall in the open space of the regiment headquarters before the first snow in winter. It was covered with wood and sorghum poles.
The top is surrounded by sorghum poles and wooden stakes to keep warm and windproof and spacious.
On the evening of the last day of the 18th year of the Republic of China, the New Year's Eve dinner was placed in the hall. Dozens of tables were packed. The fire-headed army led by Uncle Wu and a dozen villagers who helped were very busy, serving pork, chicken,
Mutton, fish, New Year vegetables, sauerkraut, etc., were filled with large plates on the table. Old brothers from the transportation team and the second battalion, as well as invited village elders, filled the hall.
At the main table, Wang Huzi was in high spirits, with a red light on his face. He looked at Taoist Priest Ziqing at the main table and nodded in greeting. He stood up and said loudly: "Brothers, fellow villagers, and children. This is the New Year's Eve.
This was the happiest time our supplementary group had ever had. New Year’s money was distributed to everyone, the salary arrears for several years were also paid, and a blood feud was avenged.
I, Wang Huzi, have finally put down the burden and have no worries anymore. Who brought our good life? Who avenged the blood feud for us? Everyone knows in their hearts. The scholar is not here now, but he will be here soon. Everyone wants to
Serve him a few bowls of wine. Now I’ll offer you a bowl first. Brothers, thank you for your hard work, children, thank you for your hard work. Come on, let’s do it!”
Everyone in the hall stood up, holding wine and loudly shouting: "To the leader, to the scholars, to the children."
...
Zhou Wen is currently standing guard on a tree at the east end of the village. Today Zhou Wen and Gao Xiaoshan agreed that the officers and team leaders would stand guard so that the brothers could have a good New Year.
Listening to the hustle and bustle and the sound of fireworks and firecrackers coming from the village, Zhou Wen secretly sighed in his heart. Half a year has passed since he was arrested. His goal has been initially achieved, but at the same time, he has also established a blood relationship with Wang Huzi and the others.
Emotions that are thicker than water can never be let go. In next year's war, we will have a long way to go to protect everyone.
But Zhou Wen has made up his mind. People like Hongxiu, Master, Wang Huzi, and Old Uncle Wu are all his relatives. Isn't his goal to protect his relatives and let them live a good life? No matter what he pays
The price must be met. Not to mention the transport team, which are brothers who share life and death now and in the future.
I thought about my father again. After I was arrested, I couldn't communicate. Not long ago, I entrusted a businessman from Xuchang City to Taiyuan to carry the letter, but I don't know if I received it? I am the only son in the family, and my father didn't know how anxious he would be.
What. Hey, I miss my loved ones even more during the festive season!
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw two people walking out of the village and said, "Password."
"Spring Festival."
"Celebrate together."
In fact, Zhou Wen already knew who it was, but he had always wanted to abide by the rules.
Zhang Xiaoping and Ti Jing came over, "Senior brother, let's change the guard."
"Little Uncle Master, go and eat quickly, we are all full." The two of them said and walked to the tree.
Zhou Wen jumped down from the tree and looked at Zhang Xiaoping, who was all dressed up, wearing figure-eight leggings, brand-new Japanese military boots, and carrying a G98 standard rifle, and nodded with satisfaction.
Now Zhang Xiaoping has been promoted to the leader of the reconnaissance team. He is good at qinggong, fast, accurate in marksmanship, and can walk on mountain roads as easily as on flat ground. He is highly praised by the teenagers. So Xu Dacheng had to let Xian go and concentrate on managing the artillery team.
Zhou Wen then joked to the body of Thomson, who was also neatly dressed and holding the butt of a gun, "Ah Jing, you served the table today, didn't you make others hungry?"
"How can that be possible? Uncle Wu at our table added dishes three times, and everyone ate well." Zhang Xiaoping quickly explained to his brother.
Ti Jing also chuckled and said: "Little junior uncle, don't look down on people, I will give in to the brothers now. I won't start cleaning the table until they have almost finished eating."
I feel dizzy. When someone asks me to eat, you might as well just clean the table.
After chatting and joking with the two brothers for a while, Zhou Wen called Ergazi, who was posted in front of him, to go back together.
