PS: Thanks to book friend He Cheng for promising the reward.
For these people who went to Damuan Island from Phi Island, Phi Island was very familiar to them. Except for the residences of several Dongjiang Town generals on the island, which had become larger and more luxurious, other places were still the same as when they left. Same look.
Thousands of tiger-character flag soldiers quickly occupied the entire Pi Island.
The officers and soldiers on the island and the people living on the island were taken to the open space and detained.
"Brother Huzi, Brother Huzi, it's me! Me!" An officer and soldier squatting on the ground waved to the soldier walking at the end of the patrol team who was passing by.
The soldier turned his head and looked over, and found that the prisoner waving at him looked somewhat familiar.
However, while he was on patrol, he didn't look carefully. He only glanced at it and then looked away.
"It's me! Brother Huzi, I'm the second strong man, you forgot." The officer and soldier finally found an acquaintance among the people in the tiger-character flag, but they were not willing to let it go. They hurriedly called to the other party loudly, and stood up to think. Get closer to the past.
"Go back and squat." The soldiers guarding the surroundings immediately stepped forward and used their bayonets to force the officer and soldier named Er Zhuang to retreat.
Facing the soldiers who tried to stop them, Erzhuang naturally did not dare to resist and squatted down again obediently, but his eyes were always looking at the passing patrol.
The soldier captain in the patrol suddenly slowed down, approached the person at the back of the team, and whispered, "Do you know that person just now?"
"Well, we met when we were working for a living on Phi Island. The one who called me was Er Zhuang. He had two brothers who were also on the island. Later, my mother and I took a boat to Dajuan Island. The three brothers chose to stay on Phi Island. Island." The soldier named Huzi briefly introduced his relationship with the other party.
The soldier captain looked back at Erzhu, who was squatting on the ground again. After retracting his gaze, he said to Huzi next to him: "You haven't seen each other for so long. Why don't you go over and have a few words with him."
"Ah!" Huzi was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Can it be done?"
When he met an acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he wanted to go over and have a few words with the person. However, due to the identities of both parties, he didn't know if doing so would violate military rules and disciplines.
The soldier commander smiled and said: "It's okay, let's go now. Some of these officers and soldiers may join our Tiger Flag in the future."
"Really? Then I'll go there?" Huzi asked excitedly.
He left from Pi Island anyway. He knew many people on Pi Island, and naturally he didn't want to see the miserable end of the people living on Pi Island.
The soldier commander smiled, nodded, waved his hands, and said, "Go quickly!"
As a corps commander, he is naturally not qualified to let his soldiers have private contact with the officers and soldiers on the island. However, orders have been issued from above to allow the soldiers below to contact and win over the people on the island.
Although Pidao is not big, but with the addition of Tieshan and Kuandian, the place becomes larger. One war barracks cannot guard so many places, so it can only absorb the soldiers and civilians of Dongjiang Town and train them as its own people to fill the vacancies in the army.
Huzi broke away from the team and strode towards the open space where the prisoners on the island were guarded.
The Erzhu who called him before failed to get a response. He lowered his head in disappointment and counted his toes.
"Hey, is the person coming towards us the Brother Huzi you just called?" An officer and soldier squatting with Erzhu bumped his elbow into Erzhu.
After hearing this, Erzhu hurriedly looked in the direction where the previous patrol had left.
When he looked over and saw Huzi walking towards him, he immediately grinned.
The people on the side knew what was going on as soon as they saw it, and said enviously: "Don't forget your brothers when good things happen."
They, the captives, didn't know how the people in the Tiger Flag would deal with them next. Having companions who were familiar with the people in the Tiger Flag was no less than a life-saving straw for them, and they hoped they could also benefit from it.
Erzhu just giggled.
He is not stupid. He depends on Brother Hu Zi for his life, so how can he make blind promises to his companions? If Brother Hu Zi ignores him, he will have no place to cry if he wants to.
Huzi, who was walking towards him, was stopped by the soldiers guarding the officers and soldiers.
"An acquaintance of mine is detained here. Come and have a few words with him." Huzi explained to the soldier who stopped him, pointing at the second pillar with his finger.
The soldier who stopped him looked back, nodded, and said, "Okay, let's go, but for the sake of safety, don't get too close. You can let the other party come out."
As soldiers guarding prisoners, they have already received orders to allow their own people to have contact with the prisoners.
"Thank you, brother." Huzi thanked him and walked quickly towards Erzhu.
At this time, Erzhu had also stood up from the ground, looking at Huzi walking over with joy.
"Brother Huzi." Erzhu raised his hand to greet Huzi who was walking over, and stepped forward to greet him involuntarily.
Huzi walked closer, raised his hand and squeezed Erzhu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "If you hadn't called me just now, I almost didn't recognize you. Look, I have become stronger."
"Hehe, since I became a soldier under the governor on the island, I have been able to eat two meals a day." Erzhu grabbed the back of his head with his hands and laughed.
Huzi patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's a good thing to have food. In the past, when we just escaped to Pi Island, people starved to death every day. In winter, more people died of cold and starvation, and there was almost nothing to see. A way to survive.”
"Well, on Pi Island, the only people who can eat two meals a day are the soldiers in Dongjiang Town. Many people want to be soldiers but they can't. Fortunately, I am the lucky one." Erzhu said excitedly.
Huzi nodded, then looked around and asked, "Why don't you see your eldest brother and third brother?"
"They were all killed by slave thieves." Erzhu became depressed.
Hearing this, Huzi pursed his lips hard and patted Erzhu's shoulder with his palm.
The slave thieves always want to deal with Dongjiang Town in the rear, so every year they use troops against the areas under the jurisdiction of Dongjiang Town. The officers and soldiers of Dongjiang Town often die at the hands of the slave thieves.
"It's all over. Soldiers will die one day in battle. Let's talk about you, Brother Huzi. Since you and your aunt left by boat, I haven't heard from you again. Is your aunt in good health?" Zhu put away the pain on his face and asked about the other party's situation.
Huzi said with a smile on his face: "Your aunt is in good health. She can eat a big bowl of rice in one meal. She is also fat. She has caught up with the landlord's aunt."
"That's great. If my eldest brother and the others had boarded the ship, they might all be married to my mother-in-law now." Erzhu said enviously.
Back then, Huzi and his mother were bound to starve to death sooner or later if they continued to stay on the island, so they had no choice but to board the ship carrying the Tiger flag. The three brothers, because their eldest brother was valued by General Mao, became Mao Dushuai's personal soldiers. So I chose to stay on Phi Island.
