Li Hongzhi is now bandaged like a zongzi. The head, arms, thighs, and calves are covered with gauze. The continuous fighting left him with a lot of wounds and a lot of blood. Fortunately, it didn't hurt the internal organs. The hemostasis and bandaging were timely, which saved his life. He was now sitting under a big tree, smoking cigarette in his mouth, leaning against the tree with his thighs split, his eyes staring blankly at the sky.

The recent encounter is like a nightmare, now his brother is gone, his home is gone, and Maoershan, who has been transferred, does not know what to do with the old and weak women and children.

When he first saved Zhou Min and asked for 10 gold bars, he was still very excited. At that time, he just said casually, but he didn't expect Zhou Min to agree, it turned out that everything was so smooth, but he didn't expect that suddenly the devil would attack Mao'er Mountain. He had to lead all the people in the cottage to retreat and set fire to the home where he had lived for decades. Later, he led people like lost dogs, chased by devils all over the mountains. It wasn't until they couldn't run, couldn't run, that they stopped fighting with the devils. This fight for the number 100 brothers lost their lives. The bald man also fed the wolf. The saddest thing is that the devil is not coming at his own cottage at all, but at Zhou Min. And Zhou Min was rescued by himself on the mountain, is this retribution?

Li Hongzhi now regrets his original decision, if he hadn't saved people, maybe he wouldn't have had these disasters, maybe he is still dashing as the king of the mountain on Mao'er Mountain.

But there was another voice in his heart that said to him, it is natural for Chinese masters to fight devils, how can there be immortals in wars, and put all the blame on a little girl, this kind of thinking is very ungentlemanly and shameless.

Just when Li Hongzhi was thinking nonsense, Brigade Commander Chen came over and said with a smile: "Li Da is in charge, he has admired his name for a long time, can he talk for a while?"

Li Hongzhi came back to his senses, handed Brigade Commander Chen a cigarette and asked, "Are you the head of the Eighth Route Army here?"

"That's right, I'm their head, I'm Chen Geng, the commander of the 386 Brigade. Chen Geng lit a cigarette and said with a smile.

As soon as Li Hongzhi heard that he was Chen Geng, he became more serious and said, "I have also admired the name of Brigade Commander Chen for a long time. ”

"Li Da is in charge, I know that you are a person who really fights devils, and what you have done over the years has been robbing the rich and helping the poor. In the past few days, I've been doing it with real knives and guns with devils, and to be honest, I still admire you very much. ”

Li Hongzhi sneered and said: "What is there to admire, the brothers are all gone, and now there are more than a dozen people left." ”

"Li Dazhang's family, to put it mildly, there are no immortals in war. And those brothers under your command also died to kill devils, although they went first, but they are respectable. ”

Brigade Commander Chen's words made Li Hong very comfortable to listen to, and an official said respect to a bandit. This made Li Hongzhi's good impression of Brigade Commander Chen suddenly improve a lot.

"Brigade Commander Chen is looking for me, right?"

"If there's really something, then I'll get straight to the point, is Li Da Boss interested in joining our Eighth Route Army?"

"Join the Eight Paths?"

"I have to think about it, because I and my brothers on the mountain are used to being wild and can't stand the rules. ”

When Brigade Commander Chen heard that he did not directly refuse, he felt that there was still a play in recruiting them this time. So he continued: "The other people in your cottage are now in our base area, and the soldiers who went out on patrol that day saw your current family members in Maoershan, and for the sake of safety, they brought them to the base area, and now they have been settled. ”

Hearing Brigade Commander Chen say this, Li Hongzhi's heart that had been hanging for many days finally let go, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you so much, Brigade Commander Chen." ”

"Master Li, I know that you want to fight devils, but you can also see through the battles in the past few days that the devil's firepower is very strong. And they are all troops that have been trained for many years, and it is very difficult to shake the devils with the strength of your Maoershan, but our Eighth Route Army is different, we are a regular army with organization, discipline and faith. We are a team that sincerely resists Japan, and I hope you will join us in fighting the devils and driving them out of our homes. As you can see, after this war, our 386th Brigade suffered a very serious attrition. If you're willing to join, how about I leave you a position as battalion commander?"

Li Hongzhi didn't expect that Brigade Commander Chen's price was so big, it seemed that he was sincerely recruiting him, and it would be good to give him a company commander with his original manpower, not to mention that there were only a dozen people left now, and he actually wanted him to be the battalion commander. People say that in this way, if you refuse again, you may be a little ignorant.

Li Hongzhi said: "Thank you Brigade Commander Chen for looking up to me so much, I agreed, I am willing to take my brothers to join the Eighth Route Army." ”

Brigade Commander Chen laughed and said, "Okay, my 386 Brigade has another fierce general." ”

Zhou Min, who was still half-awake and half-unconscious, didn't know that the person she liked had been poached by Brigade Commander Chen. Through this period of getting along, Zhou Min can feel that Li Hongzhi is a very righteous person and a patriotic person, although he is a bandit, Zhou Min is very optimistic about him. Coupled with his courage and righteousness, Zhou Min felt that if he could be recruited to the independent division, he would definitely be able to be a good helper for Zhou Tao. Zhou Min even hopes that he can form a real special operations team in the future, just like the kind of special forces in the future. Li Hongzhi is one of his target candidates. But now it has been attacked by Brigade Commander Chen.

Yuan Qing returned to the resting place and looked at the piece of jade in his hand stupidly. She caressed the piece of jade with her trembling hands, as if caressing her own child, and muttered: "Child, my child, I miss you so much, I really miss you." She was dazed, as if remembering her past with her child.

But suddenly, her expression became hideous, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry, child, I will definitely avenge you." ”

Yuan Qing adjusted her emotions, she decided to go to see Zhou Min, and walked to the shed where Zhou Ming was, she saw Zhou Min lying there motionless with his eyes closed.

Qian Li and Zhou Lei were there to accompany her.

"Nurse Yuan, why are you here? You are also seriously injured, why didn't you go to rest?"

"I'm getting better, how is Zhou Min now?"

"She has a fever and some infections and is now unconscious. ”

Yuan Qing walked over, probed Zhou Min's pulse with his hand, and said, "The heartbeat is a little weak, and it's a little fast. ”

He probed her forehead again, "Oh, Zhou Min has a terrible burn." The environment here is too harsh, and you can recuperate if you return to the base area early. ”

Yuan Qing looked at Zhou Lei and Qian Li, who were wrapped in gauze, and said, "You two are also seriously injured, and your face is really not good." ”

Zhou Lei smiled and said, "Thank you Nurse Yuan for your concern, the two of us can't die fortunately." Now that the devils have been annihilated, the large army of devils is beyond our reach. The only threat now is the devil's bombers, and we'll leave at night. ”
