Chapter 45: On the Eve of the War

Zhu Ge guarded against martial arts, didn't sleep well all night, and got up and walked home as soon as it was dawn.

When I entered the yard, I saw that the Cuihua man was squatting beside the stove in the yard to make porridge.

"Mayor Mare, you're back."

"Well, did you sleep well?"

"Okay, okay, Mayor Town, our whole family will never forget your great kindness in this life."

"Don't say that, the national crisis is at the head, and the people are not easy to live, help each other a little, maybe they will be able to get through the difficulties soon."

"Hey, get through it, unless the little devils get out of China."

Zhu Ge slowly stirred the stick noodle porridge in the pot and was silent.

From afar, I heard Tie Dan shouting: "Sir! Mr! The Eighth Route Army is coming! ”

Zhu Ge put down the spoon and ran out, and saw a long procession entering the village from a distance, and it was not Gao Yi who was riding on the horse at the front.

"Company Commander Gao! High Company Commander! Zhu Ge waved his hand and shouted at him.

"Zhu Ge!" Gao Yi jumped off his horse, handed the reins to the guards beside him, and stretched out his hand from a few steps away.

"Why are you here?" Zhu Ge held Gao Yi's hand tightly and asked excitedly.

"Oh, we received a task from our superiors to go to Long County to assist the national army in recovering Long County."

"Zhu Ge!"

"Red ...... Tea? Why are you with Company Commander Gao? What about the five-in-a-row? As soon as Zhu Ge saw the red sleeves, his mood suddenly became complicated, he knew that this girl was thinking about him, but what he thought of at this moment was the angry face of martial arts.

"I ...... I heard that the Sixth Company was going to Long County and would pass by Wuji Town, so I applied to participate in this mission, by the way...... Come and see you. ”

For such a direct expression of red sleeves, Zhu Ge naturally blushed.

"Hahaha, look at you, such a big girl, don't be ashamed." Gao Yi smiled and pulled the braid of the red sleeves.

"Company Commander......" Red Sleeves blushed, but did not retreat in the slightest, and looked at Zhu Ge with bright eyes.

"Ahem...... Company Commander Gao, take the soldiers to rest and rest, I will ask the villagers to prepare some food. ”

"It's okay, after a day and a night's journey, I'll bother Mr. Mayor to prepare some food for us, and then find a place to rest, we have to hurry again in the middle of the night, Shen Wang!" Gao Yi turned around and shouted at the team.

"Here! Captain! Shen Wang ran out of the team with a grin.

"Tell the brothers, take a half-day break."

"Yes! Mr. Zhu Ge! Shen Wang saluted Zhu Ge.

"Brother Shen Wang, I haven't seen you for many days." Zhu Ge replied.

"Mr. Zhu, if the team hadn't gone north, I would have come to see you a long time ago."

"I'm a teacher, depending on what I do, the most important thing is to protect my family and defend the country." Zhu Ge raised his hand embarrassedly to think about the pair of glasses, and found that the glasses on the bridge of his nose were long gone, so he put down his hand in embarrassment.

"Huh? What about your glasses? Shen Wang asked.

"Oh...... Lost. "How embarrassed is he to say that he was damaged by martial arts.

"Okay, okay, what's the matter, let's wait for us to win the battle and come back, now let's take the brothers to rest first."

Zhu Ge took out the food and soup for the martial arts suit from home, and took Gao Yi and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to the security team.

Wu Gong leaned on the windowsill and went out to bask in the sun, and when he saw Zhu Ge coming over so late, he thought he was angry that he ate his tofu last night, so he pretended to have a black face and said with a weak heart: "If you want Lao Tzu to die, just say that you don't have anything to eat when you're hungry." ”

Zhu Ge was really angry, he fell asleep in the middle of the night and felt that there were insects crawling on his body, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that someone's big hand was scurrying in his clothes, and he wanted to shout to tell him to stop, afraid that Li Yu and they would hear it, and stretched out his hand to stop it, and he was afraid that his body was weak and his heart couldn't stand it, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed the hand that was becoming more and more presumptuous and bit it hard.

Can ...... now As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw the pitiful appearance of Wu Gong who was hungry, and his stomach was gone.

"I'm trying to worry about you when you're dead."

"If I'm dead, you'll be a widow!" Wu Gong shouted and wanted to come over to get the food box, and Gao Yi and two or three hundred soldiers who had settled the carriage and horses outside the courtyard came in in line.

The red sleeves and martial arts were on the eyes, and they all exploded immediately.

"Why is he here?" Red Sleeves pulled out his pistol, and Wu Gong also reached out to pull out the knife on the side of his leg.

Zhu Ge hurriedly stepped forward to support the martial arts who was covering his heart, and pulled the person into the house. Wang Chuanxiong repeatedly reminded him that Wu Gong's heart was now seriously injured, and he couldn't have mood swings, especially not temper tantrums, and he also thought that it might be a little troublesome for the two to meet, but he didn't expect that as soon as they met, they would be-for-tat.

As soon as he entered the room, Zhu Ge closed the door, took out the still hot decoction from the food box and sent it to Wu Gong's mouth.

"You drink the medicine first, and I'll tell you."

Wu Gong was holding the knife angrily, and there was fire in his eyes, and when he turned his head and saw Zhu Ge holding the medicine bowl with a worried face, he dissipated his anger by three points, and drank the decoction with Zhu Ge's hand.

"Say!"

"The national army in Long County is surrounded, they are sent from above to flank the Japanese army from the north, passing by here, resting."

"When are you leaving?"

"In the middle of the night."

As soon as Wu Gong heard that this was the case, he was relieved, and he took out the food and devoured it.

Many veterans who participated in the first battle of Wuji Town remember that it was in this courtyard that a bandit broke the relationship between Zhu Ge and martial arts.

Gao Yi had also heard some rumors, but he had always thought that it was a soldier who was really boring and made up to make up a tooth sacrifice, but Red Sleeves' obviously envious, jealous and hateful expression made him start to doubt that those rumors were true.

A person like Zhu Ge who puts things in his heart when he has something, so many people's strange eyes are no less uncomfortable than bullets hitting his heart.

He tried to pretend he didn't care, but his face turned pale.

"What's the matter? Shall we rest in this courtyard? Gao Yi hurried to round the field.

"Huh? No, no, this thing is a double-row earthen kang on both sides, and the soldiers should all go into the house to rest, and when the meal is ready, I will have someone bring it. Zhu Ge said in a panic.

There were simply not so many people in the house, and all the houses of the security team were occupied, and the kang, the ground, and even the cells were full of Eighth Route Army. Gao Yi also squeezed with the big guys, and only the red sleeves were still standing in the courtyard.

"Or ...... Go and rest with me. Zhu Ge knew that this was inappropriate, but Red Sleeves had also traveled for a day and a night, and his face was full of exhaustion.

"Is that okay?" Red Sleeves looked like she had some kind of treasure.

"No way!" Wu Gong carried the food box and went straight to Zhu Ge, "Go home," and pulled Zhu Ge and walked out.

"What do you do? Let go! "Zhu Ge has a grudge against martial arts because of Fang Cai's matter, and now this person is pulling him like this in front of others, so he naturally has a temper.

Wu Gong saw that Zhu Ge was angry at him, thinking that it was because of the red sleeves, forgetting that he was still injured, and bent down to carry Zhu Ge up, but his hand grabbed Zhu Ge's waist, and the whole person suddenly softened.

Red Sleeves wanted to step forward to stop Zhu Ge when Wu Gong grabbed him, but Zhu Ge squatted down nervously at this time to caress Wu Gong's heart.

"What's going on? You wait, I'll go find Brother Wang. He got up and wanted to leave, but his hand was grabbed by martial arts.

"Don't move, it hurts." Zhu Ge immediately stroked Wugong's chest again, and followed it all at once.

Wu Gong turned his head and threw a smug look at the ugly red sleeves, and the whole person fell on Zhu Ge.

"Red Sleeves, can you help me go to my place and call Dr. Wang over."

Red Sleeves clenched his fists hard and ran out with red eyes.

"Okay, okay, if you touch me again, you can't help but do something to you." Wu Gong dodged Zhu Ge's hand on his chest, got up and patted the soil on his clothes.

"You...... Are you pretending? Zhu Ge was still squatting on the ground, maintaining the posture of supporting people, and then became angry, "What a reason!" ”

picked up the food box, regardless of martial arts, got up and walked out.

"Can you go slowly?" Wu Gong smiled and followed behind Zhu Ge.

Zhu Ge didn't look back.

"It's painful to go fast."

"Well deserved."

"You want to murder your husband again!"

“……”

Zhu Ge personally arranged for the town to cook, and it was estimated that the soldiers were almost rested, so he asked someone to deliver the food to the security team. Hundreds of people who had eaten and slept well began to prepare for departure as soon as it was dark.

"Didn't you say you left in the middle of the night?"

"I just received a telegram from above, the south of Long County is almost unbearable, the little devils are still sending more troops, we must contain the enemy from the north by tonight." Gao Yi smoked a cigarette in a dull manner.

"In that case, then I won't stay long."

Zhu Ge sent Gao Yi and them out of town, and on the way back, he remembered why Red Sleeves didn't say goodbye.

In fact, when he was preparing a meal, the two rivals had a head-to-head negotiation about Zhu Ge.

"Stay away from him." Red Sleeves stood outside the thatched hut and whispered to Wu Gong, who was peeing inside.

"He's my man, you'd better not worry about it." Wu Gong tied his belt and leaned against the earthen wall of the thatched house.

The red sleeves put their hands on the holster, wishing that they would jump on this bandit with one shot now.

"Do you know how embarrassed he was today? People all over the yard looked at him with strange eyes, and how many people scolded him for being immoral in private, all because of you! Red Sleeves red-eyed.

Wu Gong played with a big ocean that he hung around his neck, thinking about the embarrassing appearance of teaching, and his heart ached faintly.

"You're just going to ruin him."

"Even if I destroy him, I can't let him go. You can't get him in your life, he can only pretend to be me in his heart, otherwise, he won't want to live. ”

Red Sleeves was speechless by the domineering possessiveness of martial arts, was stunned for a long time, and ran out crying.

Wu Gong touched the ocean he was wearing around his neck, and smiled at the corners of his mouth

"If you really don't pretend to be me in your heart, even if you die, you have to die in Lao Tzu's arms."

Zhu Ge, who was distributing the nest heads, suddenly felt a cold wind blowing in his back......

In the next few days, the national army and the Eighth Road passed through Wuji Town one after another, and I heard that Long County was besieged, and it was impossible to enter from the outside or get out from the inside, and the sound of artillery fire continued all day long.

That night, Zhu Ge was sleeping soundly when there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Wu Gong, who had already heard the sound of footsteps, asked.

"It's me, Shen Wang, looking for Mr. Zhu Ge."

In this way, Zhu Ge, Li Yu and Wang Chuanxiong all woke up, and as soon as Zhu Ge heard that it was Shen Wang, he put on his clothes and went down to open the door.

"Brother Shen Wang, why are you here?" Zhu Ge lit the kerosene lamp, only to find that Shen Wang's clothes were worn out and full of the smell of gunsmoke.

"Sir, Company Commander Gao asked me to find you for help." Shen Wang took out a letter and handed it to Zhu Ge.

After reading the letter, Zhu Ge sat on the kang with his ass.

"How?" Wang Chuanxiong asked worriedly, after all, Long County was his home.

"The people in Longxian City are famine, the national army is too wounded and sick, and there are more and more Japanese troops outside the city, they can't stand it......" Zhu Ge said tremblingly.

"What are you doing when you can't stand it?" Wu Gong asked in the bed.

"Let me help collect food and find medicine."

"Sir, the company commander said that the military rations and medicines above are on the way, and they will not arrive until three days later, and the big guys can't hold on......"
