Uncle Zhang is Zhang Liushan, the village head of Shigang Village.

Since it was a misunderstanding, Zhang Liushan dispersed everyone, leaving only Brother Liu here, and then, Zhang Liushan said to Chu Xuan:

"What is your name, young man? I think yours are also strangers, are you local?"

"Uncle Zhang, my name is Chu Xuan, my family is from Huagang Village, I have been working outside for five years, and I just came back today!"

Chu Xuan replied that when he was in high school, because his family was poor, he was almost focused on his studies, and rarely went outside to wander around, so there were really not many people around here who knew Chu Xuan.

"Huagang Village, oh! I know, it's not easy to go out to work at a young age, it's getting late, and when you return to Huagang Village, it's estimated that it's already morning, or I'll find you a place, you can stay first, sleep well, and wait until tomorrow morning before leaving?"

Zhang Liushan rubbed his crutch and said.

Chu Xuan pursed his lips and looked at the night sky that was already full of stars, going up and down the mountain for a day, and carrying Lin Mengmeng on his back, he was indeed a little tired, so he nodded and agreed, "Then it's troublesome Uncle Zhang!"

"Don't bother, don't bother, you saved Teacher Mengmeng, we all have to thank you!"

Zhang Liushan hurriedly said with a smile.

"Xiao Liu, you go and take this little brother and Lin Mengmeng to the blind Wu's side, there are many empty houses on his side!

Zhang Liushan hammered his back, and after speaking, he staggered and walked towards the distance with a crutch.

At this time, Brother Liu walked to Chu Xuan's side, patted Chu Xuan's shoulder, and said heroically:

"Young man Chu Xuan, right, you have the demeanor of my youth! You don't know, when I was young, I was the number one master in Shigang Village, I remember one time, it was a rainy night, I was surrounded by more than a dozen people, but I couldn't help it, I only used three moves, and I ............ it."

"Brother Liu, aren't you going to take us to Grandpa Wu's house in the east of the village?

Lin Mengmeng saw that Brother Liu couldn't help but brag about his heroic past again, and quickly interrupted Brother Liu's words, otherwise, Brother Liu himself would be able to salivate and talk about tomorrow morning.

"Uh............ Good. Brother Liu was talking about it to the fullest, but he was interrupted by Teacher Mengmeng, and he was a little depressed, but he respected Lin Mengmeng, and his own children were still studying in Shigang Village Primary School, so he could only stop holding back his feelings of expressing affection.

The three of them walked towards the blind man Wu in the east of the village.

Ten minutes later, the three of them arrived at the blind Wu's side.

"Is this the home of the blind Wu you are talking about?"

Chu Xuan asked with a frown, because although this place also belongs to Shigang Village, it is very remote, and although there are many houses, it seems that there is only this one family.

"Yes, Grandpa Wu is a poor man, he is a veteran, he is also withdrawn and likes to be alone. ”

Lin Mengmeng explained.

"Then his eyes are ............"

"It was wounded on the battlefield. Lin Mengmeng immediately picked up Chu Xuan's words, "Grandpa Wu participated in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the Korean War............ He participated in almost most of the battles, and before he was wounded and retired, he also served as a squad leader. ”

Hearing this, Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows, and a sense of awe rose from his chest.

When Chu Xuan was in high school, he learned an article about a combat hero who was entangled with Japanese criminals for more than half a month on a snowy mountain without food.

In the end, the encirclement of the Japanese invaders became smaller and smaller, and the hero finally failed to support it, and he was brave and righteous, and it was later found that the battle hero did not have any food in his belly, it was all cotton wool, and he only ate that kind of thing and persisted for so long.

Chu Xuan understood from then on that these relatively stable lives were bought by those heroes with their blood and lives, and more importantly, those countless unknown people who would not even be remembered by name.

"Alright, let's go inside!"

Brother Liu opened his mouth to speak, and stepped and knocked on the rusty iron door of the blind Wu.

"Knock knock!"

Brother Liu knocked on the door, "Master Wu, are you at home?" Open the door, Teacher Mengmeng is back." ”

After a while, the light in the room was turned on, and then, the door opened, and an old man with all gray hair pushed the door and walked out.

However, the clothes on his body are a little shabby, and there are a lot of patches on a green military coat!

"Mengmeng! It's Mengmeng back, but it scares me to death, hurry in!"

The place where the blind Wu lives is very large, there are many empty houses, no one lives, when Lin Mengmeng first came to teach, there was no place to live, the blind Wu provided accommodation for free, and Lin Mengmeng has been living.

In the past two years, under the contact of back and forth, the blind Wu has already regarded Lin Mengmeng as his sister.

"Master Wu, there is another young man today, you find a house and let him deal with it for one night, it is he who saved Teacher Mengmeng. ”

Brother Liu walked up to the blind man Wu and said.

"Okay, okay, I don't have much here, it's just that there are many empty houses, I built so many houses for my son to marry a daughter-in-law, and now, alas!"

The blind man Wu sighed and shook his head, his cloudy eyes had a faint flash of tears, as if he didn't want to mention the past.

"What's wrong? Does this Grandpa Wu have any sad past?"

Chu Xuan noticed the change in the blind Wu's emotions, so he asked Lin Mengmeng in a low voice.

"Alas!" Lin Mengmeng also sighed as if she had been infected by the blind Wu, and whispered in Chu Xuan's ear:

"Grandpa Wu has a total of three sons, three sons because their father is a veteran, they have always had an ambition since they were young, and they also want to be soldiers, and then all three of them went to be soldiers, and as a result, three people, one is eighteen years old, one is twenty years old, and one is twenty-one years old, all ............ Sacrificed!"

"The three sons are not married, which is equivalent to the Wu family's broken off, and almost all of the Wu family's sons have contributed to the motherland!"

Lin Mengmeng finished with some sentimentality.

When Lin Mengmeng and Chu Xuan were talking in a low voice, the blind man Wu had already groped his way into the house.

Looking at the back of the blind man Wu, Chu Xuan suddenly had an idea, he wanted to cure the poor old man's blindness.

Retracting his thoughts, Chu Xuan walked into the room with Lin Mengmeng on his back, looked around, and found that this room was very simple, except for some necessary furniture, there was almost nothing, and these necessary furniture were still some years old.

From these aspects, it can be seen that the blind man Wu Guo usually lives a very poor life.
