Qian Wei was very happy. He lifted his son up and said, "What's wrong with being a soldier?" It is the honor of the whole family to defend the home and the country!
It was a sunny day, and the sunlight combined the shadows of their father and son brilliantly, making the whole yard more interesting. Everyone looked at Qian Lie's funny look, some pursed their lips and laughed, and some couldn't help but gently pinch his pink face.
A few days later, Lu Fen specially tore a piece of fabric, asked a tailor to touch Qian Lie's head, measured the size, and made a military cap to put on his head. He looked very impressive, and the neighbors still laughed when they looked at him, but later they stopped laughing. As he grew up, he became more and more like his father. He was tall and tall, making him a good soldier.
When he was eighteen years old, Qian Wei asked him whether he would like to continue studying or become a soldier.
Be a soldier! He answered boldly.
Soon, Qian Lie walked out of the school gate and walked into the military camp. He put on his military uniform and military cap, becoming more and more majestic and really looking like a soldier. When Qian was in the army, the two countries were at war. The next year, he volunteered to join the advance troops to compete with the enemy in the war-torn border garrison territory.
Suddenly one day, the large army received information from the advance unit where Qian Lie was located that the other country would send troops to invade this country's territory at dusk the next day. In this regard, the general in charge of the army, Hu Xiong, wanted to seize the opportunity to take the first step and inhibit the implementation of the other country's action plan. That is to say, three thousand troops were sent out at dusk that day, divided into three batches, and entered the hinterland of the other country's mountains from three different routes. They camped at different important locations, preparing to form a pincer attack on the invading enemies who must pass through this place, and then deal a heavy blow. .
The mountains there are continuous and covered with tropical rainforests that cover the sky. The mountains are winding and there are many caves, which are suitable for hiding. It is like a natural military location. This is very advantageous for those who are familiar with the terrain. If you are not familiar with the terrain, you will not be able to find it. When you reach the way out and are ambushed by the enemy, this is the most dangerous place to be buried.
The advance troops at the front line drew drawings of the terrain and routes here in advance and handed them to the departing large forces. According to the deployment plan of General Hu Xiong and other legions, the large army stationed in the mountains of the other country at the scheduled time and camped overnight without incident.
The next day, Hu Xiong's deputy general Cao Lansheng was inspecting the mountains. When he came to a steep cliff, he heard a humming sound. He became alert, followed the sound and walked forward, and found a huge cave with several ivy hanging like curtains in front of the cave. He reached out and opened it, and found a boy about 7 or 8 years old lying on a bamboo bed inside.
Seeing the stranger coming, the boy sat up with a somewhat panicked expression. He looked at Cao Lansheng, and Cao Lansheng also looked at him, showing a kind look. Seeing that the visitor meant no harm, the boy lay on the bamboo bed again as if nothing had happened. Cao Lansheng saw that the cave was very deep and dark inside. He didn't know the details, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
He stood at the entrance of the cave and hesitated for a moment, then withdrew, preparing to bring a few soldiers to take care of him and question the boy at the same time. However, he had only taken a few steps when the boy started crying, crying very sadly.
Cao Lansheng stopped and listened quietly, then turned around and returned to the cave. The boy sat up again, looked at Cao Lansheng with tears in his eyes, pointed at his belly, and then at his mouth. Cao Lansheng concluded that he was hungry and asked him if he wanted to eat.
The boy didn't understand Cao Lansheng's language, and even after talking to him, Cao Lansheng didn't understand, so he took out a biscuit from his clothes and gave it to the boy. He took the biscuit, wiped away his tears, and put it into his mouth, chewing it loudly, and looked at Cao Lansheng with his eyes wide open, as if some of his fear had been eliminated, and he was accepting Cao Lansheng. .
Cao Lansheng felt uneasy and suspected that there were enemies hidden deep in the cave, and he was even more wary of shooting black guns inside. At this moment, he bravely pointed into the cave. The boy was smart and understood what he meant and said nothing. Because Cao Lansheng did not understand what he was saying, the boy shook his head several times. Of course, Cao Lansheng knew that this was to answer the question "How deep is the cave?" There was no one anywhere.
Cao Lansheng believed that children would not tell lies. He already loved children and developed a liking for the boy. When he finished eating the biscuit, Cao Lansheng wanted to give him another piece to eat, but there was no more in his eyes. Cao Lansheng approached the bamboo bed, turned away, and carried him out of the cave and into the army station. In a temporary camp, he put the boy down on his back and asked several soldiers to reward the boy from the other country with biscuits and drinking water. . They believe that although the other country is an enemy country, the people have no fault, let alone the children.
Cao Lansheng took special care of him as if he were his own child, and even hired a translator who knew the other country's language to talk to the boy. The translator's surname was Shi Mingli. He met the boy and asked him about his situation in the native language of the other country, and the boy also spoke. Shi Li translated the boy's words into Mandarin——
The boy said that three members of his family lived together in that cave. Yesterday morning, his parents came out of the cave and went down the mountain and never returned. He did not know why.
Cao Lansheng told Shi Li in his native language that there was another reason why his parents did not return. Perhaps the enemy country has won over people's hearts and conspired with his parents to recruit soldiers to deal with us. We must be a hundred times more vigilant. As he said that, Cao Lansheng took out a troop activity map and pointed at Shi Li. Shi Li was so excited that he actually spoke a few words in the other country's language about the troop activity map.
At this time, the birds outside the barracks were noisy. Cao Lansheng said, "If you speak in your mother tongue, speaking the enemy's language is just like the chirping of birds and you can't understand a word." So Shi Li changed his speech to his native language: Deputy Counselor Cao, this map is very important. The entry and exit routes and garrison locations of our troops are clear. It can not only defeat the enemy, but also use offense as defense. When Shi Li spoke, the boy listened attentively, not even chewing a piece of biscuit in his mouth. He saw Cao Lansheng fold the picture and put it into the underwear of his jacket.
Shi Li noticed that the boy was looking at them as if he had something on his mind, so he asked him in his native language. He and Shi Li had a chatty chat, but Cao Lansheng couldn't understand and signaled to Shi Li to translate: "The boy doesn't want to stay here anymore, I hope." Uncle Cao sent him down the mountain to find his parents. The boy also said that he knew the route and would just send it out of the rainforest.
Cao Lansheng said to Shi Li, translate my words to the boy and say that since you want to go and are familiar with the route, you can go alone. Shi Li translated this into the other country's dialect, and the boy spoke again. Shi Li translated: The boy said that he wanted Uncle Cao to take him out of the rain forest.
At this point, faint gunshots came from deep in the rain forest. Shi Li continued: The boy said that your country's soldiers are bad. If I walk alone in the rain forest, I will inevitably be shot by them, or they will take me as a prisoner and arrest me. In that case, I will not be able to walk out of the rain forest and go down the mountain to see my parents. .
Cao Lansheng asked Shi Li to translate his words again. Shi Li said to the boy, this uncle said that the soldiers in our country are all good soldiers and will not kill children. There are other reasons for the war between the two countries. The people are not guilty, let alone you. Children are even more innocent. None of our soldiers will kill you, let alone torture you. We talk about humanitarianism.
The boy at least understood most of it. He suddenly started crying. Cao Lansheng asked someone to bring him biscuits as a gift but he didn't want them. He still cried and talked while crying. He didn't know what to say. Only Shi Li understood. Shi Li immediately translated: Uncle, if you don't send me out of the forest, I will keep crying until you agree to send me away.
Cao Lansheng smiled and said, Okay, it is also the duty of a peacekeeper to send you to a safe area. Cao Lansheng said it so elegantly, and Shi Li may have translated it more popularly. The boy stopped crying immediately. He took the biscuits handed over by several soldiers. He couldn't finish eating them and put them in his pocket. The boy was wearing a piece that didn't fit well. The jacket has two pockets on the left and right sides, which are already bulging.
