The people in the county town and the local tyrants and gentry all rejoiced when they learned that the security team had won a great victory and annihilated the invading bandits.
Especially the Li family and other big landlords and wealthy businessmen, they took the initiative to take the lead out of the city and came to condole ****.
As soon as a few old guys saw Xu Guoren, they greeted him with a smile on their faces, and threw all kinds of flattery and nice words at Xu Guoren like money.
That posture was sent to Xu Guoren to kneel.
Xu Guoren understands that these people are a group of villains who are attached to Panyan, whoever can bring them benefits and protect them well, then they will support whom, once their security team can't protect them, they are afraid that they will immediately jump up and scold their mother.
However, what Xu Guoren did was not all to protect their group of financiers, but for the survival of himself and his family, as well as more ordinary people.
Therefore, Xu Guoren only said some polite words to them, and then sent them away under the pretext of cleaning up the battlefield.
After the battlefield was cleaned up, Xu Guoren returned to the county seat with his troops, and almost all the people in the county poured into the streets to welcome him.
Xu Guoren rode a high-headed horse, walking at the front of the team, when he came to the intersection of the street with the largest crowd, Xu Guoren stopped at the horse, looked around at the surrounding people, and said in a deep voice: "Folks, let you be frightened!" Today, Xu solemnly announced to you that the bandits in Pingyang have been completely pacified, and from now on, everyone can live a peaceful life! ā
The people were very excited and cheered.
The cheers and enthusiastic support of the people greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers of the security team, and also brought Xu Guoren great confidence and a sense of honor.
No one doesn't want to be a hero, even though it's so hard to be a hero.
At this moment, Xu Guoren's prestige in Binh Duong has reached an unprecedented height, and the people sincerely support him, a young and promising security captain.
As soon as he arrived at the base camp of the police station, Guo Hu, who was guarding the city, ran back in a hurry and said to Xu Guoren: "Brother, look who I brought back for you!" ā
Xu Guoren turned around and saw that Guo Hu was followed by Guo Shiling, who was held hostage by the Green Fox Gang.
Xu Guoren immediately showed a happy smile, walked over and said, "Oh, Sister Shiling, you can be regarded as coming back safely." ā
Xu Guoren wanted to pull her hand, but Guo Shiling avoided her, and the little girl said with a cold face: "Don't touch me, didn't you say that my life or death has nothing to do with you?" What does it matter if I don't come back? ā
Xu Guoren knew that this little girl was angry with herself, so she immediately rubbed her hands and said: "Shiling, you don't understand my good intentions, the situation was critical at that time, and the Green Fox Gang was unpredictable, if I cared too much about you, once something happened, not only could I not save you, but it would also hurt you." That's why I'm so ruthless, I'm actually protecting you, do you understand? ā
Guo Danian, who was present, nodded hurriedly and said: "I can prove this matter that when Brother Guoren withdrew just now, he also warned the big bosses of the Green Fox Gang that if they dare to touch a single hair of you, they will never let them go." ā
"Really?" Guo Shiling looked at Xu Guoren suspiciously.
"Of course it's true, Da Nian is so honest, don't you still believe his words?" Xu Guoren said with a smile.
"Well, I'll trust you for the time being." Guo Shiling said: "However, if you want me to forgive you, you have to treat me to a good meal, and those who have been sleeping with those bandits have been hungry to death in the past few days." ā
Xu Guoren now has plenty of money and food, so he immediately nodded and agreed: "This is no problem, what you want to eat, what you can buy in Pingyang County, you can choose." ā
"That's what you said!" Guo Shiling looked cunning with a successful trick, and pointed at Xu Guoren.
"Of course, when I Xu Guoren speaks, it's a mouthful of foam and a nail!" Xu Guoren said in his heart, anyway, I am also the cow ear of Zhiyi County, the most powerful person in the whole Pingyang, can you still eat the poor master, I can't do it?
So, Xu Guoren took a few guards and accompanied Guo Shiling out of the police station to taste the food in the city.
When the little girl arrived at a place, she ordered a lot of signature dishes, and then she ate almost only one bite and a half of each dish, or even didn't taste a bite, and then got up and left, looking for the next one.
Xu Guoren wanted to speak out and persuade him, but Guo Shiling choked back: "You have words first, and you are not allowed to regret it!" ā
"Okay, you snacker, today is as you wish, you can toss it." Xu Guoren shrugged helplessly.
After making a fuss for a long time, eating almost all the restaurants and street food stalls in Pingyang County, Guo Shiling finally went crazy enough, walked and walked, and suddenly fell into Xu Guoren's arms.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Xu Guoren was a little embarrassed and said: "So many people are watching." ā
Guo Shiling suddenly cried out loud without asking: "I don't care, I'm going to hold you, do you know, when I was kidnapped by bandits, how scared I was, do you know, when you said that my life or death has nothing to do with you, how desperate and sad I was, woo, you villain, I don't like you anymore!" ā
Before she finished speaking, Guo Shiling couldn't stop crying.
Xu Guoren looked down at her with tears in her eyes, and couldn't help but feel pity and guilt, so he had to gently hug her, caress her delicate and silky back and comforted: "Okay, it's all Brother Guoren's fault, I didn't protect you." I'm really ashamed to say that when the security team was formed, I promised to protect everyone, but I never thought that you were being held hostage by bandits, or because of me, I'm really sorry, and I promise that I won't let this happen again. ā
"What do you mean?" Guo Shiling suddenly stopped crying, raised his head, looked at Xu Guoren with tears on his face and asked.
"Well, it's a word." Xu Guoren saw her pity, his tone involuntarily softened a lot, and he nodded lightly.
"Then I'm going to follow you all the time, so you can protect me!" Guo Shiling gagged her small mouth and said.
Xu Guoren said: "Didn't you just say that you will never like me again, why are you still with me?" ā
Guo Shiling's face flushed, and she whispered: "Who said I like you, I hate it." With that, he broke free from Xu Guoren's arms and ran away.
Xu Guoren chased after him and asked with a smile: "By the way, Shiling, you have been out for so long, will your father be worried?" ā
"I told my father that I was going back to the provincial capital to study, and he still thinks I'm in the provincial capital!" Guo Shiling turned around and stuck out her tongue and said, "So, don't you want to find an excuse to send me back to Guojiabao." ā
Xu Guoren couldn't cry or laugh a little, this little girl is a ghost, it's really helpless.
That night, Xu Guoren asked the room to make a table of sumptuous dishes, and feasted Guo Hu, Guo Danian, Niu Dagen and Guo Xiaoliu, of course, Guo Shiling.
First, he came to comfort a few major subordinates, and he came to wash the dust for Guo Shiling.
Everyone was a fellow villager and of the same age, so the atmosphere was very lively, and the banquet ended happily.
After Xu Guoren sent Guo Hu and a few people away, he took Guo Shiling to the roof of the police station, and the two sat on the roof to watch the stars.
Looking at the starry sky, Xu Guoren said thoughtfully: "Shiling, do you want to help me?" ā
"Help? What can I help you? Guo Shiling drank some wine, her pretty face was flushed, and she was very beautiful and attractive under the moonlight.
"Help me protect our relatives, folks!" Xu Guoren said: "In this troubled world, if you want to protect yourself, you must first be self-reliant, and it is likely that our country will suffer an unprecedented catastrophe in the near future, so we must take precautions to prepare for the unexpected!" ā
Guo Shiling said in a shocking voice: "The catastrophe you are referring to is the Japanese, right?" ā
Xu Guoren was very surprised and said, "How do you know?" ā
Guo Shiling smiled faintly and said: "I am studying in the provincial capital, and I have seen too many anti-Japanese demonstrations and anti-Japanese demonstrations, everyone says that the Japanese are wolf-like and ambitious, aiming to swallow China, so between China and Japan, sooner or later there will be a war, so they must wake up the Chinese people and prepare early for the unexpected!" ā
"I forgot, our sister Shiling is also an intellectual young woman in the new era, not a country girl doll with long hair and short knowledge!" Xu Guoren teased: "Since you also understand the truth, then I might as well tell you my goals and ideals." ā
"Tell me about it!" Guo Shiling tilted his head curiously and looked at Xu Guoren.
"My goal is to form an armed force that obeys my orders, so that I can protect myself and my family, relatives and friends in troubled times." Xu Guoren said with yearning: "And my ideal is to do my part for our disaster-ridden country and nation on the basis of the goal, and protect as many people as possible from being bullied by foreigners."
As the saying goes, the rise and fall of a country is the responsibility of the husband, and only with a country can there be a home! ā
Guo Shiling looked at Xu Guoren with a serious face, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Brother Guoren, you can say this, it really impresses me, I used to think that you were a little clever turtle, but I didn't expect you to be better than many intellectuals, and know better what true righteousness is!" ā
Xu Guoren laughed at himself and said: "In fact, the premise of all this is based on the fact that I want to live and live better." If a person's life is a problem, it is pure nonsense to talk about ideals and ambitions! ā
"However, if one day, some people, some things, need me and I have to give, even if it is my life, I think I should not hesitate!" Xu Guoren looked up meaningfully at the Endless Starry Sky Dao.
"Hmm." Guo Shiling nodded and asked, "Then how do you want me to help you?" ā
"I need intellectuals, and I need young people with knowledge in radio majors, so I think Shiling you can go back and study hard, and when you are successful, come back and help me!" Xu Guoren explained his purpose.
Guo Shiling was a little surprised, stared at Xu Guoren for a long time, and then nodded lightly and said, "Okay, I promise you, but I also have a request." ā
"What requirements?" Xu Guoren asked.
"You have to live well, wait for me to come back! Don't die! Guo Shiling's eyes flashed with tears, and she said very affectionately.
