Chapter 361: If You Are Ruthless, Pick Up Your Gun
"Are you hungry?"
Tie Jun was still sleeping around, and Li Tieniu patted him.
"Um!"
Tie Jun was not polite and his stomach was already growling. When he saw Li Tieniu's face clearly, Tie Jun was a little confused. He looked very different from Li Dachui.
His eyes were attracted by something. Tie Jun blinked and took a breath. Li Tieniu's neck was like a small twist on the side, twisting hard.
"Haha, don't be afraid. On the Korean battlefield, the scars left by bayonet fights with the American devils were more likely to save your life. You didn't cut your throat!"
Li Tieniu explained lightly, turned around and walked to the stove in the middle, squatted down and added firewood to it.
Tie Jun was still immersed in fright and stabbed his bayonet through his neck. I am so horrified just thinking about it.
"Uncle Li, I'll light the stove, you go make some noodles!"
Liu Shengli helped Li Tieniu up and said, "That's okay!" Li Tieniu walked out of the village committee and went to get noodles somewhere.
"Hey, let me do it. I'm good at this stuff. You go help the uncle make noodles. He has only one hand and it's inconvenient!"
Tie Jun came to his senses, spoke, walked over and pulled Li Shengli up again.
"Remember, in front of him, never mention anything about the inconvenience of one of his hands. Be careful if he twists your neck."
"Oh, I see, why didn't you tell me, think about her father being a martyr and her grandfather being a fighting hero!"
"The old man won't let me mention it, why are you always bragging about something that happened eight hundred years ago!"
"Then...what's going on with the two brothers?"
Liu Shengli didn't say anything. He pulled two small stools over, stuffed the one under Tie Jun's butt, and sat on one himself.
"It's okay not to mention it, don't be embarrassed!"
"It's up to me to say the embarrassing things!"
Li Tieniu stepped through the door, carrying a bag of noodles in his hand, and his loud voice echoed in the room.
"Think about it, take your aunt to the next room to eat apples!"
"oh!"
Li Tieniu took the child away, pulled out the panel from behind the writing desk, laid it across the table, scooped water from the vat at the door, and started talking while making noodles.
"The sledgehammer you see is not my biological child. It is the child of my comrade-in-arms. The father froze to death in North Korea, and the mother fell to death while digging herbs in the mountains.
Two babies were left behind, and the company commander and I each adopted one. That one is a girl, and she is now running a shoe factory in Fujian!
Life was pretty good. Last year, the company commander brought his family to stay with me for a while. He wanted to take us all to Fujian, but I didn't agree.
The second oldest brother, Big Tiger, is my biological son. He is careless and plays with guns and sticks all day long. He ran away to the wild before finishing junior high school.
One year, Dachui and I went down the mountain to sell walnuts, peppers, and apples. Dahu, a bastard, drank some soju and killed his sister-in-law.
When we came back, Dahu had already run away. The next year, we thought, well, we can’t just throw this baby away!”
Li Tieniu kneaded the dough in a loud voice and sighed, and anyone could feel the pain and helplessness in his heart.
"It's pity, let's think about it. My father doesn't kiss me and my mother doesn't love me. I scolded those two people a lot, but it's of no use. In their words, it's good to be able to support them.
I, Li Tieniu, killed more than 30 Japs and broke an arm. I was not afraid of death, but I was obsessed with these two things.
After Dahu ran away and never came back, I thought he was dead. Unexpectedly, he was really dead and became a fucking martyr!"
Li Tieniu gasped and threw his face hard. Liu Shengli and Tie Jun did not dare to say anything, lowered their heads and sighed.
Tie Jun pulled at the red coals, fighting in his mind, calling the big tiger a beast and exaggerating that the tiger was a hero.
"Dahu is my machine gunner. He doesn't like to talk and has no friends. Apart from cleaning his gun, he just plays orchids with his harmonica in his mouth."
After a moment of silence, seeing that Li Tieniu was still wrestling, Liu Shengli took over the right to speak.
"In the first battle on the front line, on Hill 41, Dahu rushed to the high ground on the side with a machine gun. He was injured in three places. One man shouldered the important task of covering the charge of the entire company.
That battle was the worst. The instructor, the first platoon leader, and the second platoon leader were all sacrificed. During the break, the regiment leader talked to him and proposed him as the platoon leader.
He said I was unworthy and left the regiment leader and me in the headquarters. The regiment leader cursed me and cursed me..."
"Rebirth?"
This word was too sensitive. Tie Jun was agitated and asked casually, his hands burning a bit.
"Oh, when I met Dahu, his name was Li Chongsheng. After he died and came here, I realized that he used to be called Dahu."
"He still has a conscience. He joined the army and was reborn. This child is my son, Li Tieniu!"
Li Tieniu finally had a smile on his stiff face. Tie Jun was very awkward. He felt that it would be more suitable for the situation if it were Lao Tie in front of him.
"How did the big tiger die?"
After putting down a handful of dry firewood, Tie Jun raised his head and asked Liu Shengli.
"Because of a Vietnamese pussy!"
"ah?"
Tie Jun exclaimed, Liu Shengli rolled his eyes at him, Tie Jun scratched his head in embarrassment, and thought to himself, this is so strange, why have there been so many strange things since his rebirth?
"One day, I took Dahu and a platoon leader to find an ambush spot by the Lujiang River. I saw a Vietnamese woman washing clothes being pinned to the ground by two Vietnamese soldiers.
I pulled them to lie down in the grass. At that time, I felt strange. It would be easy to understand if they were Chinese women, but they were people from their own country.
Before I could figure it out, Dahu rushed out like crazy and ran up to him. The Vietnamese girl picked up the gun from under her body and shot Dahu in the chest.
The platoon leader and I realized that Dahu had been fooled, and we shot in that direction. That girl was really cruel, so she shot Dahu again and ran away with the two Vietnamese soldiers.
The two of us stopped chasing and quickly looked at Dahu's injuries. The two shots were at the heart, and even gods couldn't save him.
Dahu kept spurting blood from his mouth. We grabbed his hands and prepared to carry him back to the camp. Dahu waved his hand and smiled.
I became anxious and scolded him: 'Are you stupid? You have told me so many times, you are a cunning little devil, why don't you listen!'
Dahu said: 'It's great to be liberated! Give this to me, and kowtow three times for him...'
Without even saying a word, Dahu breathed his last and clutched the harmonica tightly in his hand.
That night, we bloodbathed Little Vietnam's camp and captured the girl alive. She crawled on the ground and kowtowed to me, asking me to spare her.
I asked the platoon leader to give her the gun, and I picked up Dahu's machine gun. The new instructor grabbed my neck and shouted at me, saying that I was making a huge mistake by shooting the prisoners of war.
I said: 'She is a devil, if you give her a way out today, she will chop off your head in the middle of the night.
Don't worry about it. I don't know if I can go back alive. I can't let my soldiers die in her hands.'
Pushing the instructor away, the first platoon commander and the second platoon commander put their shoulders on his shoulders and shouted together: 'Count us both, we will bear the huge punishment together!'
I walked up to that girl and said, 'I know you can understand, so listen carefully. If you are cruel enough, pick up a gun. If you don't, I will kill you!'
'I have money, I'll hide it in the mountains. Send someone with me to get it. I'll give it all to you, give it all to you!'
That girl is by no means simple. She can speak Chinese better than Dahu. I kicked the gun to her and said: 'I'll count to 3, you choose!'
After saying that, I started counting, and as soon as I called 1, the girl reached for the gun. I waited for her to get it, cursed me, and pulled the trigger.
After all the bullets were fired, the four of us were crying. The instructor said: 'She is not an adulterer. She uses a gun to do it. Knowing this, I will also make up for it.'
Uncle Li, no matter what, Dahu is gone, so don’t resent him anymore."
After Liu Shengli finished speaking, he looked at Li Tieniu with an expression that clearly said, "If you're still not happy, I'll give you another thumbs up."
