Chapter 343: The Truth Covered Up (2)
After getting the gun, Xiaobei followed Xiang Ming to other carriages, Staff Officer Ruan and Regiment Commander Wang did not close their eyes all night, and the flood brought by the storm after it stopped almost flooded everything outside, looking at the past a vast ocean, there was no way to find the way ahead.

"Xiaobei!" When Chen Weixin saw Xiaobei come out, he stood up with a "whew", walked over with concern and asked, "Are you better?" Does the wound still hurt? ”
"Instructor Zhou, I'm much better, out of the way."
Xiaobei moved the schoolbag where the gun was hidden behind him, and saw that everyone was exhausted, especially Chen Weixin, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, and his handsome face in the past looked very haggard at the moment.
"Instructor, if there is anything you want me to do, just tell me."
"Gotta get it, what do you want to do? You want to do everything else in a girl's family, and stay there. Chen Weixin waved his hand impatiently, this child began to have convulsions as soon as he was a little energetic, and he knew what medicine to let her take and then sleep.
Xiaobei looked at his watch, at more than 4 o'clock in the morning, the sky was already slightly bright, although the rain had stopped, but the whole sky was still gray, and the air pressure was very low.
"Is there a river over there when the flood goes west?" Xiaobei ignored Chen Weixin's cynicism, it's not that she is troublesome, she is this kind of character, let her be lazy and enjoy her success, she can't do it.
"There is a river, our village started to build the flood control embankment last year, but unfortunately it was only half repaired, who would have thought that the typhoon came so early this year, the flood washed away the repaired dam, and we have no home." The old man who spoke covered his face and cried.
The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place. Now that there is a lot of water outside, not only can they not go back, but they also have no land to live on, how can they not be sad?
"Instructor, are you ready for dry food?" The soldiers were starving along the way, soaked in water for a night, and there were empty-handed people, so many mouths waiting to eat, but it was a top priority.
"There is a marching stove on the train, I have arranged for the firehead army to go to the high ground to bury the stove, if you are in a hurry, go over there and have a look."
Knowing that he couldn't persuade her at all, Chen Weixin had no choice but to arrange some work for her, and instructed Wu Lianshun and Xiang Ming to follow Xiaobei, and the three of them came to a hill not far from the railroad tracks.
"How can there be rice?"
In addition to Yu Yuemei making her a meal of rice during the Chinese New Year, Xiaobei ate it at Wang Manshi's house in the provincial capital, and now when she sees a whole bag of rice, her mind can't turn for a while, and she was stunned for a long time before asking.
"When I was supplying in Bengbu, Major Zhou took the money to buy it." Said a veteran in his twenties who was digging a pit.
Well? Xiaobei looked at Xiang Ming and Wu Lianshun suspiciously.
"Hehe, I know, but Instructor Zhou won't let me tell you." Wu Lianshun rubbed his palms embarrassedly, deceiving Xiaobei made him very uneasy.
"He said that when you were growing up, you couldn't eat bran vegetables all at once, so he gave Staff Officer Ruan 20 yuan and bought 100 catties of rice."
"How did I not know?"
"At that time, you got out of the car to send Daochang Xiao, of course you didn't know."
In any case, Chen Weixin's actions can be regarded as saving everyone's lives, after the Huotou Army buried the stove, he carried some drinking water and dry firewood from the train, and in less than a quarter of an hour, a large pot of rice porridge had been boiled.
"Wu Lianshun, go to the car and take down our sauce donkey meat, let the big guy eat enough this morning, and wait for the flood peak to pass and have the physical strength to work."
Wu Lianshun is unwilling and can't, at this time, everyone pays attention to dedication, and he can't drag everyone back, who to eat is not to eat, and it is fun to share things.
After more than three hours, Huotoujun finally boiled eight pots of porridge, used up all the drinking water and rice, Xiaobei cut the remaining more than 40 catties of donkey meat into minced pieces and boiled together with the porridge, the rice and meat were wandering near the train, attracting people in the car to come and see frequently, and a few young children simply squatted there to guard.
There were no pots and pans, and the soldiers simply used their own kettles to fill porridge, a big spoonful per person, and more than 800 people came to receive food in two batches, and when the pot was finally scraped clean, there were still more than a dozen people who did not get it.
"Oh, you eat, you eat, we croppers are used to being hungry, and we will inevitably trouble everyone to help us fight the flood for a while, but we can't let you go hungry."
The crying old man found that Xiaobei and they had no food to eat, so he hurriedly brought over a bowl of porridge he had been assigned and said that he would not eat anything.
When they leave home, they take everything they can with them, no matter what, it is their own little property, and it is not easy to buy new ones, so many people carry enamel jars with a portrait of Chairman Mao printed on them.
"Uncle, you eat, there is still dry food on the train, we can't be hungry."
There is no dry food, it was expected that the train would arrive in Changsha today, and the supplies in Bengbu were all eaten.
Xiaobei returned to the car with a few people, and when he looked up, he saw Zhu Ye running over in a panic, and hurriedly stopped her and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Oh, Comrade Su Xiaobei, I thought you were in the water again." She had just woken up, and when she saw that the carriage was empty, she was afraid that Xiaobei would wade in the water again, so she ran out in a panic.
"Zhu Ye, I left you a porridge, you go eat it." Xiaobei took down the military kettle from his body and handed it to her.
Zhu Ye was about to excuse herself, but was stopped by Xiaobei, and it happened that Chen Weixin called her in the back carriage, and the two didn't say anything, and Xiaobei left.
"You're a woman?" Wu Lianshun took out some steamed bun scum from his pocket and stuffed it in his mouth, looking at Zhu Ye strangely.
Zhu Ye lowered his hat, nodded his head, and turned back to the carriage to ignore anyone.
Wu Lianshun was hungry, and when he turned around and wanted to find Lin Xiangming to order something to eat, he saw that there was no one to eat, so he had to squat at the door of the train boredly, looking at the children who were eating in the distance.
"What are you doing? Why don't you eat it? Wu Lianshun walked over and deliberately lectured a teenage boy with a black face.
The kid covered the enamel jar in his hand and looked at Wu Lianshun in a panic, "This is mine." ”
"I know it's yours, why don't you eat it?" Wu Lianshun was very angry, did he look like a villain?
"I ...... I'll keep it for my mother. The boy stood up and stepped back, trying to get away from him.
"Hey, if you retreat, you'll fall into the ditch, come back quickly." Wu Lianshun grabbed the child with his big hand, and the kid was scared and cried, "Don't rob me of my things, my mother hasn't eaten it yet." ”
"Child, what are you talking nonsense? Why should I rob you of your porridge? ”
A few children who were following him next to him said with guts, "The porridge of the dog was robbed by a big brother just now." ”
"Who's the dog?" The children all pointed to the children who were in a daze under the big tree, and Wu Lianshun hurried over, "Who robbed your porridge, tell me I'll beat him." ”
There was also a bright red palm print on the dog's face, which annoyed Wu Lianshun and yelled angrily, "Who hit you, you tell me quickly." ”
The dog held his mouth aggrievedly, tears in his eyes, "It's a soldier, they went over there." ”
