After a long time, Zhao Hongwu and the three gradually calmed down, looked at each other and smiled, and remembered the days when they practiced day and night in the iron-beaten camp, listening to the horn and shouting slogans.

Xia Yongfang took out the broken glass slag trapped in the palm of his hand, rinsed it with the tea on the table a few times, took out a few more tissues and pressed them on the wound, turned his head and asked Zhao Hongwu, "Brother Zhao, in this way, you are the 52077th soldier of the Shadow Army, right, you shouldn't be very old back then, why did you suddenly retire?" ”

Zhao Hongwu's eyes darkened slightly, and his voice also deepened, "In 2003, our troops were on a secret mission near the Sino-Indian border, and they were ambushed, and there were thirty brothers in a platoon, and only me and another brother survived......"

"People who have never really been a soldier or on the battlefield will never understand what it would be like for a group of comrades-in-arms who get along day and night and trust each other in life and death to die in front of them!"

"Later, for a long time, I was in a state of confusion and often woke up from nightmares. The commander of our unit thought that my state was no longer suitable for continuing to serve in the shadow army, so he persuaded me to transfer to the ordinary army, but I felt that after staying in the shadow army, I was even more unsuitable to stay in the ordinary army, so I applied for direct retirement! ”

After the mood was agitated, Sun Xingqiang also remembered his old parents who had just gone, and his face was also gloomy, ideal and reality are still two different things after all.

Xia Yongfang paused slightly, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only pour a full bottle of wine and silently have a drink with Zhao Hongwu and Sun Xingqiang.

Zhao Hongwu put down his wine glass, smiled faintly, and continued, "After retiring, I lived a drunken life and dreamed of death. Days of immersion in the vat every day, until one day, I saw a news ...... on TV in a tavern"

"There was a pair of orphans and widows who were bullied by a group of hooligans, and the teenage child resisted angrily, but accidentally killed a hooligan and was caught in, and I suddenly woke up!"

"I saw a family photo in the relics of one of my most ironclad comrades-in-arms, and the woman and child in the photo were the pair of orphans and widows on ......the news."

Xia Yun and the others continued to be speechless, silently listening to Zhao Hongwu's narration.

"I tried everything I could. But he still couldn't stop the child's sentence, and in the end, he was sentenced to manslaughter for excessive self-defense and spent two years in a juvenile detention center! ”

"Since then, I have begun to make money by unscrupulous means, black and white, legitimate and illegal, except for pornography, gambling and drugs, as long as I can make money, I will touch it, and at the same time collect the family information of my comrades-in-arms. Because I know that I still have twenty-eight families who have lost their children, husbands, and fathers to take care of! My life no longer belongs to me. ”

For a moment, the atmosphere in the box was a little frozen. Zhao Hongwu woke up from his memories and smiled self-deprecatingly, "If you drink too much, you will talk too much nonsense." Let you laugh, don't mention this, come. Let's go one more ......."

After drinking, Xia Yun saw that the atmosphere was still a little stuffy, thought for a while and said, "I see that everyone has eaten almost enough, otherwise, I'll go and settle the account first, and then we will go back to Xiajia Village to see the second master...... By the way, Brother Zhao, do you want to come with us too? ”

Xia Yongfang and the three of them glanced at each other, they all nodded, Xia Yun got up, went outside to settle the bill, and when they came back, the three of them were already ready to stop and leave the hotel together.

Zhao Hongwu also drove over, and his car was a modified black Ford Raptor pickup truck with three six-license plates, which was a bit unusual among the rich people's cars.

However, he had just drunk a lot of alcohol, so he had no intention of driving, so he made a phone call to ask someone to come and drive the car away, and he sat in Xia Yun's Hyundai ix35 with Xia Yongfang and Sun Xingqiang.

Xia Yun started the car and drove in the direction of his hometown Xiajia Village, while closing the car window and turning on the air conditioner, he casually said to Xia Yongfang next to him, "I don't know if the second master woke up from a nap at this time!" ”

Xia Yongfang glanced at the time, "It's almost half past two now, and it's going to be three o'clock when you get there, you must be awake, if his habits haven't changed, he usually wakes up at two o'clock!" ”

Xia Yun nodded and stopped talking, but Zhao Hongwu, who was sitting in the back seat with Sun Xingqiang, asked with some curiosity, "I forgot to ask just now, Yongfang, I think you and Xingqiang should both be the kind of people who like military camp life, why did you retire so early?" ”

Sun Xingqiang didn't speak as usual, but Xia Yongfang told the ins and outs of this matter again, and said later, "Xingqiang didn't say that he wanted to come over in person and thank Xia Yun and the second ......master in person."

"This Liu Sanwa, I'm afraid the high level is scary!"

After Zhao Hongwu listened, he let out a long oh, just said this, and fell into deep thought.

He is different from Xia Yun and Xia Yongfang, and he has a much deeper understanding of some of the current rules of domestic officialdom than them.

But the more he understood, the more shocked Zhao Hongwu became, in the current situation where the domestic economy is in charge and everything is on par with GDP, it can still be done to this point, that Liu Sanwa's level is probably much higher than Xia Yun imagined!

The car was quiet for a while, and Sun Xingqiang, who had not spoken much, suddenly spoke.

According to the analysis of the existing data, this Liu Sanwa should be just a nickname or something, he also has another official name, his hometown is in Yuening, a few years younger than the second grandfather, between eighty-eight and ninety-three, retired state, in good health, once served as a senior military leader, the rank is at least a general or above, and there are still juniors or former subordinates who serve as military generals or above as real power leaders, five years ago he came to Yuening to inspect or parade, and this year in the news broadcast, the supreme chief once visited him...... ”

"To sum up, only one person meets all the requirements......"

"That's the founding father and one of the five tiger generals, the old general of the mountain tiger Liu Shang Kun Liu!"

Sitting on the mountain tiger Liu Shangkun!

Even the ordinary people who don't care about politics and military the most, especially the people here in Viet Ninh, everyone knows and knows this name!

This year's ninety-one-year-old General Liu, born in a family of ordinary people in Yuening, resolutely joined the army to serve the country after the outbreak of the Devil War, and made countless meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and made great achievements! After the founding of the Celestial Empire, he was worshipped as a general!

His early deeds are unknown, the first time he came to prominence, was a famous ambush battle, he personally led 500 athletes, ambushed a supply convoy of devils, and then with the guns and ammunition snatched over, ambushed on the side of the road, and disabled a brigade of devils who came to reinforce before retreating safely.

Subsequently, he flexibly used various tactics, led the soldiers to win more with less on the battlefield many times, annihilated many devil teams in a system, and gradually became famous.

What really made him famous and famous in the first battle was that in the middle of the devil's war, in order to attack a crucial male city, he had been on the list of devils' key hunts, and volunteered to be bait, leading troops to guerrilla everywhere to attract the attention of devils, and then trapped himself in a lonely mountain, causing nearby devils to send heavy troops to besiege him, resulting in an empty defense in the city, which was broken by our army in one fell swoop!

Before besieging Lonely Mountain, the devil also sent people up the mountain to surrender, but was kicked down the mountain by Liu Shangkun, looking up to the sky and smiling, "The tiger sitting on the mountain, how can you be bullied by the devil jackal, even if you let the horse come!" ”

By the time the People's Liberation Army broke through Xiongcheng and sent troops to relieve the siege, it was already a day later, and there were less than 50 of the 800 tigers trapped in the lonely mountain, and even Liu Shangkun himself was shot several times in his body, and his life hung by a thread!

After this battle, the name of the mountain tiger Liu Shangkun resounded throughout the land of China!

After the founding of the Celestial Empire, some people adapted the story of the mountain tiger into novels and movies, passed down from generation to generation, as General Liu got older, the popularity of the people became more and more thunderous, it is reported that last year General Liu Lao 90 birthday, two generations of leaders have personally come to celebrate his birthday!

Xia Yun and Xia Yongfang couldn't imagine that the old comrade-in-arms in the mouth of their second grandfather, Liu Sanwa, who had a very strong local name, was actually the famous mountain tiger Liu Shangkun who had become a legendary figure!

……………………

Until they arrived in Xiajia Village, Xia Yun and the four of them didn't speak much, immersed in the glorious deeds of their predecessors and pioneers, unable to extricate themselves.

After parking the car in the village, Xia Yun and Xia Yongfang took Sun Xingqiang and Zhao Hongwu and walked towards the second master's house on the mountainside behind the village.

Not to mention Zhao Hongwu and the others, even Xia Yun and Xia Yongfang, who have walked back and forth countless times on this gravel road since they were young, couldn't help but move forward respectfully with a pilgrimage mentality at this moment.

When he arrived at the courtyard of the second master, Xia Yun cleaned up his mood, pushed open the courtyard door, and shouted inside in a voice half smaller than usual, "Second master, are you not at home?" ”

"Xia Yun?"

The second master was really at home, and he had already woken up, and when he heard Xia Yun's shout, he walked out of the room on the left in less than half a minute.

The second master is still dressed as an old peasant in the countryside, with gray cloth clothes, black cloth shoes with hundreds of thousands of soles, and a dry smoking gun in his hand, he is in good spirits, he glanced at it, and his eyes lit up slightly when he saw Xia Yongfang, "You stinky boy, are you finally willing to come back?" ”

At the glance of the second master, Xia Yun's mood suddenly calmed down, no matter what kind of brilliant experience the second master had, or what a legendary comrade-in-arms, these are not important, the important thing is that he is still his second master.

He is still the second master who has lived in Xiajia Village all his life, watched him grow up since he was a child, taught him to practice martial arts, punished him for standing on a stake, stuffed delicious snacks into his hands, beat him when he did something wrong, and laughed and scolded him with a loud voice!
