It is another summer dawn, the moon is still there, the eastern sky is already bright, and the sun has not yet come out.
To be precise, it was still dark.
The village without ordinary people was full of life. The wounded who got up early were active in the yard. Pu Buhuan's gunshot wound was no longer serious. He was wrapped in a bandage and moved his body in the yard, doing a set of punches. Several others followed behind. He was hurriedly gesticulating wildly.
He was always in a low mood. He went to chase the two deserters, but failed to catch up. That night, the Japanese artillery towers beside the blockade were fighting fiercely. He didn't get any news, so his trip was completely in vain.
In order to prevent the deserters from being caught and attracting Japanese raids, the Ninth Company had to stretch more than ten miles north and south along the blockade and set up reconnaissance posts for several days, but there was no movement on the other side of the blockade.
Su Qing was awakened by the movement outside, and dimly saw Hu Yiyou, neatly dressed in military uniform, without leggings or equipment, sitting at the table in the room. This hateful guy came here early in the morning and was not afraid of gossip.
At the table, Hu Yi faced the door, quietly watching the people in the yard outside moving around in a daze.
Su Qing's injury healed quickly, and she was able to get up and walk alone. She was lying on the bed, and on the other side, the girl was snoring slightly.
She didn't make much movement when she got up. Seeing that Hu Yi was still in a daze without paying attention, Su Qing hesitated and coughed deliberately. Hu Yi, who was holding his head with one hand, was startled and quickly got up and turned around to look at her who was about to get up.
"What are you doing here? Get out quickly." The voice was cold and hoarse.
"Uh" Hu Yi blushed when he heard this, quickly turned around and went straight out the door, thinking about how cold he was even after being injured.
When everyone outside heard the commotion, they didn't look away. From the corner of their eyes, they watched the company commander go directly to the kitchen, suppressing laughter.
Pu Buhuan didn't dare to use too much force on his hands. Feeling this scene, he shook his head and giggled.
A soldier hurriedly ran into the courtyard gate from outside and ran straight to Su Qing's house. When he reached the door, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Report to the company commander, the political commissar and instructor are here."
But he saw Su Qing coming out of the house.
"Um, Officer Su, the company commander isn't here?" the soldier asked doubtfully.
"What are you talking about?" Su Qing looked at the soldier asking him about the company commander, with a black line on his head and a hint of joy.
The soldier was confused. Why don't you look for the company commander here in the morning?
Suddenly he saw the company commander appearing at the door of the kitchen, and hurriedly ran to Hu Yi and saluted: "Report, the political commissar and instructor are here!"
Hu Yi heard the movement of the sentry and was surprised: "Where is it?"
Ding Deyi drove for a day and a night, looking at the village under the moonlight in front of him, he felt very depressed.
He stopped and said to Lao Qin next to him: "You damn devil, we haven't seen two people since we left Luoye Village for so long. How did the Nine Company end up in such a shabby place?"
"In a world of war and chaos, it is always the common people who suffer. God is blind to thieves. If there is no rain for half a year, I don't know how to live." Lao Qinman raised his hand to wipe his sweat and answered helplessly.
Followed by more than ten soldiers, carrying large and small bags, carrying burdens and carrying baskets, they just encountered a hidden whistle and finally reached the end of the field. They put down their things and took the opportunity to rest and drink water. After a while, they started snoring.
The political commissar looked around, and he could see clearly under the moonlight. Unexpectedly, the village Hu Yi was looking for was surrounded by no danger. The enemy would have to run away when they came, so it was suitable for a small group of troops to fight guerrillas.
The sentry entered the village for a long time, and finally there was some movement in the village.
Hu Yi came to the west entrance of the village and saw the political commissar waiting under the moonlight. He hurried forward, stood at attention and saluted.
Hu Yi was not the only one who came, as he was followed by a long list of people who had received the news.
Ding Deyi looked at Hu Yi: "You don't seem to be doing well here? What's the matter, you still want to welcome me in a separate way?"
Hu Yi heard that the political commissar said that this place was not suitable as a garrison: "There is no way. I was planning to go east across the blockade to the enemy-occupied area. There are still some wounded in the company. We will go there after they recover."
"I've traveled such a long way, and you want me to talk to you here?" Ding Deyi was very satisfied with Hu Yi's attitude.
Hearing what the political commissar said, Hu Yi quickly waved to the people behind him: "Hurry up and help."
The crowd dispersed, and Su Qing's figure was revealed from behind.
"Su Qing? Why are you here?" Ding Deyi got the news from Commander Lu that she was going to work in the Qiufeng Guerrilla Brigade, but he didn't expect that she would come so quickly and get involved with the Ninth Company.
It stands to reason that Hu Yi's choice of this unobstructed village is probably related to Su Qing.
The political commissar came to Ninth Company for another purpose. When the Independent Regiment entered the mountains, Ninth Company actually reached into the Japanese encirclement and successfully lured away a large group of Japanese soldiers.
The division spoke highly of the Ninth Company, and the Independent Regiment also had a good reputation.
Su Qing appeared here, and the political commissar felt that something was wrong. The delicate relationship between Hu Yi and Su Qing was tricky.
Ding Deyi suddenly felt a toothache. What can he say? The teacher transferred Su Qing away to prevent them from violating discipline.
Such things were not uncommon in the Eighth Route Army, and some people defected after being criticized for it, which was completely against the regulations of the Eighth Route Army.
I secretly prayed to God and prayed to Buddha, but don't make trouble. After the battle into the mountains, the morale and combat effectiveness of the Ninth Company have been increasing. The independent regiment only has these two treasures, but don't cause trouble. There is no Hu Yi in the Ninth Company. It's 100% necessary to disband, and I can't even hold it back.
Looking back, it seems that this matter wouldn't be a big deal if they didn't have children. Su Qing was transferred to the guerrilla brigade. From a procedural point of view, there was no problem. They were two completely independent forces.
The originally friendly guerrilla brigade got mixed up with the Ninth Company. It was a typical example of obeying and disobeying the orders of superiors. I was shocked. How could I be a girl? Except for her, no one in Jiulian Company would have thought of such a thing.
Su Qing walked to Hu Yi's side. She still had black satin-like short ear-length hair. Under the moonlight before dawn, it was still as fair and fair. Her military uniform seemed a bit too big. Although it was shabby, it was quite clean.
Ding De regained his composure and took a closer look. His heart was shocked. Under the moonlight, he found that Su Qing's abdomen was a little bulging. He couldn't believe his eyes. It was over, it was a bad dish!
Ding De felt bitter in his heart, and finally moved his steps, calmly, and talked about business first: "I came here overnight mainly to convey orders from the division. Well, Lao Qin could have taken care of it originally, but there are two more things that the division has to do. I called your Ninth Company’s name, so I’ll come over in person and take a look.”
"Please give instructions from the political commissar." Hu Yi was behind, in a good mood. He didn't understand that political commissar Ding's face and tone seemed to have changed since he saw Su Qing.
"How many people are there in the group now?"
"More than sixty."
"Oh?" Ding De turned around and looked at Hu Yi in surprise: "More than sixty, how did you become the company commander? Do you not even know the number of people under your command?"
"Well, something happened in the company. It's hard to keep statistics. I'll report it to you in detail later. Uh, political commissar, turn left ahead."
Ding De walked in front and arrived in front of Hu Yi's house. He raised his legs and kicked open the half-closed door. He looked around and saw that the bed was neat and tidy, with only half a marching blanket covering it. He felt a little at ease.
Hu Yi had never kicked the door when he saw politics. He was obviously angry. What was going on? The political commissar is dissatisfied with himself?
Some don't quite understand.
The political commissar sat down at the table and lifted the teapot on the table to weigh it: "I came all the way and can't even bear to drink?"
"Ah? I'll fight right away." Hu Yi said quickly
"No, Su Qing, go get some water and I'll talk to Company Commander Hu about something."
Su Qing, who had just followed, was a little puzzled. From kicking in the door to asking for water, this was still the former political commissar: What kind of anger was this, and did it have anything to do with him?
He quickly figured it out, blushed slightly, and said yes, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.
The room fell into silence, Hu Yi stood aside, confused.
The political commissar was thinking about how Su Qing would speak when he came over later, and felt dizzy for a moment.
Until the female guerrilla leader walked into Hu Yi's house carrying a khaki earthen pot: "Hello, political commissar, hello, company commander, uh, sister Su is not feeling well, she asked me to bring water."
The sky was getting brighter and brighter. The political commissar saw that the person who came in was not Su Qing, but a big girl. He also said that Su Qing was uncomfortable? My heart skipped a beat: Something was wrong with this.
