Zhou Wen said: "Don't be verbose. Just ask a few people to drive three carriages out and exchange them for fifty water drops. 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 others had already driven the carriage on the road. Chief Qian further confirmed his guess. He was indeed a bandit. This mountain was his home, and there were bandit relatives wherever he went. The solicitation is even 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 supplementing the transportation team of the third regiment. You can tell by looking at our ages. We are all regiments." The nephew of the elders here joins the army to earn a living. As for the bandit just now, he was scared by us. He is also a vigilante and does not kill people, so he traded his gun for a carriage."
The group of people walked along the road very quickly. 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. It was you who fought off the bandits yourself. After all, we also belong to Marshal Feng’s lineage, so it’s not good for the news to spread.
As for what Chief Qian values, I am not a ungrateful person. Although I also love the people, now is not the time, and 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.
I value Zhou Wen even more in my heart. This is talent. People have thought of things for you that you didn't expect. At your age, you are like a dog.
Thinking of this, he jumped out of the carriage, held his hands with Zhou Wen and said, "Okay, Brother Enqing, I've made a note of it. I hope we can see each other again. We'll see you later."
"Well, we'll see each other later, sir." Zhou Wen said goodbye.
Chief Qian looked at the backs of the transport team as they receded, and sighed: "Brother Liu, this Zhou is not a simple person! Not to mention his fighting skills, he is experienced in dealing with others, speaks and handles things appropriately, and does things well. He is impeccable and 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 Dawangzhuang regiment headquarters 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 snowfall in winter. The roof was covered with wood and sorghum poles, and the surrounding area was surrounded by sorghum poles and wooden stakes. It was warm, 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. Pork, chicken, Mutton, fish, New Year vegetables, sauerkraut, etc., are all spread out on the table. The hall was filled with old brothers from the transportation team and the Second Battalion, as well as invited village elders.
At the main table, Wang Huzi was in high spirits, with a red light on his face. He looked at Taoist Priest Ziqing on 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 is the most comfortable time our supplementary group has ever had. New Year’s money was distributed to everyone, the salary arrears for several years were also paid, and the blood feud was avenged.
I, Wang Huzi, have finally let go of my burden and no longer have any worries. Who brought our good days? Who avenged the blood feud for us? Everyone knows it. The scholar is not here now, but he will come soon, and everyone will toast him with several bowls of wine. Now let me offer you a bowl first. Brothers, thank you for your hard work, kids, thank you for your hard work. Come on, let’s do it! "
Everyone in the hall stood up, holding wine and shouting loudly: "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. Feelings thicker than water are no longer difficult to let go of. In next year's war, there is a long way to go to protect everyone.
But Zhou Wen has made up his mind. Hong Xiu, 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 the cost, you must do it. 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 help with the letter. I don't know if I received it? He is an only son in the family, so his father doesn't know how anxious he will be. 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 abiding by the rules was what he had always demanded.
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 under the tree.
Zhou Wen jumped down from the tree and nodded with satisfaction when he saw Zhang Xiaoping dressed up in leggings, brand new Japanese military boots and carrying a G98 standard rifle.
Now Zhang Xiaoping has been promoted to the leader of the reconnaissance team. He has good light skills, fast speed, accurate marksmanship, and can walk on mountain roads as if on flat ground. He is highly praised by young people. So Xu Dacheng had to let Xian concentrate on managing the artillery team.
Zhou Wen then joked to Thomson's body, who was also neatly dressed and holding the butt of his gun, "Ah Jing, you served the table today and didn't make others hungry, right?"
"How can that be? 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 uncle, don't look down on people, I will give in to the brothers now. I will not 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 Er Gazi, who was posted in front of him, to go back together.
