After everyone finished changing their costumes and looked at each other, they couldn't help but laugh. Except for Wushan and Ou Xujiang, they are all from Liangguang, and their family members are dressed similarly to this. Wearing this dress, I feel that the relationship between them is one step closer.

Uncle Su and Zhang Erbao looked at each other, but frowned, and the two of them muttered. Lu Zuhai asked, only to know that everyone looked like each other, but their shoes had not been changed. Oh my God, it's a good thing, there are two old horses. Otherwise, when you encounter the enemy's troops, you will be exposed when you see them. Fortunately, this is just a drill, and if you really start a war, it will be a matter of losing your life. A cold sweat broke out on Wu Shan's back.

At that moment, I went to contact the local brigade secretary and bought old shoes to wear together. As for keeping the people of the brigade secret, they had to let the two old men do their work. To put it bluntly, there's only a half-chance of not being exposed. Bet on two points, either the other party's troops pass by here and don't contact the fellow villagers at all; Or if you contact it, the fellows will help keep it secret.

Originally, Wushan also thought about letting Uncle Su deceive the locals, saying that he was the reconnaissance team of the Minzhou army. After thinking about it, I gave up on the idea. As long as the Minzhou troops pass by here, their commander-in-chief must know the general distribution of their troops. If there is a reconnaissance unit returned, you will know as soon as you ask. Hit the chicken and the egg like that, and let the other party catch the turtle in the urn. The point is that it's not like a real war now, where a row of empty bags bounce in the distance, and if you hit one, you will be killed.

Eager to change into his shoes, he inadvertently shuddered, only to realize that he was wearing straw sandals. Wu Shan hurriedly took off his socks again, and the skin on his feet looked pale, which was not good. He found some mud and rubbed it on it, tossed it for a minute or two, and finally looked like a peasant. This thing can only look like it on the surface. The other party is going to be suspicious, and it's better to be finished. Wushan let out a sigh and left it to his fate.

Huh? Why is everyone silent? As soon as he looked up, Wushan saw that the soldiers were all looking at him. He looked up and down, and there was nothing wrong with it. I double-checked it again, but I still didn't notice it.

"What are you looking at me for?" Wu Shan was very strange: "Let's go when you're ready." ”

"No," Yan Jianjian, who is usually eloquent, speaks at this time: "Instructor, your shoes." ”

"My shoes are good!" Wu Shan stood up and walked two steps, and jumped a few more times: "It's very light, not bad." ”

Ou Xujiang pointed to the cloth shoes on everyone's feet, and then pointed to the straw shoes in Wushan: "Instructor, your feet are too big and you don't have suitable cloth shoes, so I have to find straw shoes for you." Everyone knows that you are a city soldier and have never suffered since you were a child. I, we."

This kid usually speaks very neatly, as if it was the first time to speak in front of Wushan with honorifics.

"Ha Luha," Wu Shan patted him on the shoulder: "My second squad leader, comrades, we are all comrades-in-arms. At all times, the goal must be the revolutionary task. Speaking of this, his tone became heavy: "Comrades, many times, we say that we do not hesitate to sacrifice our lives for the sake of the motherland and the people. But life is sacred, and for each of us there is only one time. I don't want my comrades-in-arms to sacrifice recklessly, even in the most critical moments. Remember, only if we are alive can we contribute to the revolution, and if we die, it is useless to say anything. ”

China's army, "with an indomitable spirit, will overwhelm all enemies and will never be subjugated by them." No matter what the hardships are, as long as there is one person, that person will continue to fight. "From this sentence of Taizu, we can see the characteristics of our army. The armies of Western countries often allowed surrender and capture when the military situation was unfavorable, and the communist armies always required that every member of the army should not be taken prisoner until the last breath of the battle. This is because the Communist-led war has long been endowed with the political connotation of class struggle, and if you surrender, you will be taken prisoner, not only as a shameful act of military honor, but also as a serious political mistake. In an environment where the enemy is strong and weak, the stubborn fighting spirit and the iron will to fight will be decisive. This was clearly demonstrated in the Goryeo War.

Wu Shan often asks himself, what would happen if he arrived? The final result, he himself smiled bitterly. If you can't move your hands and feet, bite with your teeth and use the top of your head. I really can't move anywhere, so let's find a way to solve it myself. These comrades-in-arms who get along day and night, the patriotic education they have received since childhood, and they must be fearless in dedicating themselves to the motherland. Wushan's reminder is just to let everyone not die at will and cherish their lives.

The team set off again, going farther and farther in the cold wind.

Everyone didn't know what to do, and after the team left, the eyes of the members stared at their backs. Li Guangrong, secretary of the brigade, ordered: "They are soldiers from eastern Guangdong Province, yes. We had already received a notice that troops from eastern Guangdong and Minzhou were conducting military exercises. No matter which team it is, it is our children. Perhaps, the team in Minzhou is better than them. But, folks, don't forget, five dollars for a set of clothes and two dollars for a pair of shoes, even if they are new, they are not worth the price. They gave us a hundred and ten dollars, does it mean to know what it means? It means that more than 30 households have enough money for this year. To be a man, you must know how to be grateful. Today, I will put my words here, whoever dares to reveal the details of this team will get out of our Haokang brigade, and I will do what I say. ”

The team walked to the back of the bowl and met the troops of Minzhou unexpectedly. Fortunately, the front is Uncle Su. The old man stepped forward unhurriedly and talked to the leading soldier, which stunned the man. Another soldier immediately ran forward from behind and patiently asked Uncle Su, the old man spoke Hakka and made him cloudy and foggy, but he still didn't know why. At this time, Wushan appeared, introducing himself as the captain of the local militia, and heard that the troops in Minzhou were going to fight, and whether they needed help. This person is just a squad leader, he smiled and shook his head and said that he didn't need it for the time being, he could go to the troops behind him to inquire.

This team was very long, and they walked to the Caikeng Brigade in Wushan before they approached the most rear. Along the way, there was no team to ask them again, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

No, things seem to have changed. Wu Shan grabbed Yan Jianjian's hand and felt a sharp gaze.

"Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, hello," Wu Shan didn't look at the man, and said to the soldier next to him: "We are a local militia, I want to ask, do we need help?" ”

His words were mixed with some Hokkien language, and they sounded decent.

"Oh?" The man didn't wait for others to speak, and took the lead in asking: "Why are the militiamen still bringing the old man out?" ”

"You are the head of the army," Wu Shan grabbed his hand enthusiastically: "Hello chief, that is the old Red Army soldier of our village, he wants to find the senior leader and ask about the comrades-in-arms of the year." ”

"Hello uncle," he shook off Wushan's muddy hand without a trace, and walked straight to Uncle Su: "Which Red Army chief are you looking for?" I'm sure I can help you figure it out. ”

Wu Shan's heart trembled, and he felt that things were off track. From the fact that he saw his hand grabbing him, he frowned a little, and it could be judged that this person was usually pampered. And the confidence in saying these words can only show that he is from the capital! I went to the old man for questioning, and there was no rehearsal beforehand.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Su deserved to have experienced it in the rain of bullets, he was full of joy and said a lot. The man sighed and shouted, "Han Qinghong, come here and listen to what the old man said." ”

A soldier ran over and exchanged a few words with Uncle Su. He immediately reported to the man: "Battalion commander, the old man was a militia member of the Red Army. He wanted to find a Red Army soldier who was looking for Tao Ju. ”

Tao Ju? The battalion commander's body trembled obviously: "Uncle, I think you should be able to understand what I said." I know of a man named Tao Ju, but unfortunately, he has been dead for almost seven years. ”

Uncle Su was a little depressed. This is also Wushan's negligence, and he has never understood the old man's original situation with the uncle. Whether it is Uncle Su or his eldest mother, he must have had contact with many people back then. Tao Juya, this leader, was already persecuted to death at the beginning of the concession period.

The battalion commander's emotions were also infected: "Uncle, my name is Zhang Haogu. Then he gave his father's name.

Wushan was shocked, it turned out to be the son of Zhang Lao, and it was indeed the second generation of the army from Beijing.

"Uncle, I can't accompany you now." I have to say that the old Zhang family's tutor is good, and Zhang Haogu said goodbye to Uncle Su: "You also know that we are going to the front line for exercises." I think someone from the military department might have heard more. However, it is a good idea to give other people's names. But in any case, to help you contact those old people, you will have to wait until after the drill is over. ”

Zhang Haogu left with the team, he always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't say it. He shook his head, maybe he was really suspicious as his father said. When I looked back, I saw that Wushan was there to comfort the old man.

Here, Wushan also had questions. To march to war, scouts are indispensable. But what about the opposing scouts? Their commander is also a well-known veteran general in the army, Cao Xueyou, it is impossible to send a team to the front line so savagely.

Continuing to move forward, Wushan and the others waited until Zhang Haogu and those people could no longer see the shadow, and then changed back into military uniforms. Wushan also found a small pool of water to wash his feet, only to find that his feet were frozen.

One by one, I changed my clothes, put on my shoes, and tied my leggings, and I felt much more comfortable. Don't look at Uncle Su and Zhang Erbao are two old men, they are walking with a tiger, not ambiguous at all, and they are better than these young men. Along the way, I didn't encounter any more troops. Before noon, everyone arrived at the Guantian Brigade.

"Lu Zuhai, go and ask them if there is a little hidden place nearby, let's have lunch." Wu Shan ordered to go down.

Otherwise, it would be really troublesome to encounter the Minzhou troops, and it would be impossible to have a separate class for lunch. Moreover, the other party's cooking class must have brought it, and they are all eating hot and spitting, how can they eat dry food?

Lu Zuhai looked embarrassed: "Instructor, the old people said that this is a small basin, and the surroundings are very empty. ”

"Well," Wu Shan saw a big house on the right hand side, pointed and said, "What kind of building is there, you can go to the villager's house to eat." By the way, let's order boiling water, the water in everyone's kettle is cold. ”

Uncle Su came over and told Wushan that it was the Li family's ancestral hall.

Ancestral hall? If this is to be in the mainland, it may have been destroyed a long time ago, that is, it will be preserved here.

The guard of the ancestral hall is an old man named Li Pingfu, who is quite enthusiastic with Uncle Su.

Wushan immediately gave the uncle twenty yuan, saying that he was going to sit in it. The old man Li Pingfu was very excited, and Zhang Luo went to boil some boiling water or something. Everyone took the opportunity to take a look at the building.

"Li's ancestral hall" is a classical temple, sit in the north and face south, brick and wood structure, into the shape of "back", front and back garden, front low and back high, the front is equipped with a five-hole gate, the middle gate, is made of gray blue strip stone, stone slab made of the stele type gatehouse, another four hole gate, two holes on the east and west sides, the inner compartment is the garden gate, the outer compartment is the ear gate, the left and right are symmetrical. On the upper floor of the gate tablet, a rectangular stone slab is erected, engraved with the word "Enrong", which is a gift from Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty. The lower beam is engraved with the five big characters of "Li Family Ancestral Hall", the stone pillars on both sides are engraved with the couplet of "Prime Minister's General's Mansion, Loyal Ministers and Filial Piety Gate", and the couplet of "Ascending the Ancestral Hall and Thinking of Zude, Entering the Temple and Reciting the Ancestral Works" is written in the empty space of the door on both sides.

It covers an area of more than 5,600 square meters, including three halls, 26 living rooms, 104 houses, and a total of 130 rooms. Each house was distributed according to the amount of donations from each place at that time, and now the door of the house is marked with the title of the ancestor of each place. It is the ancestral hall built by the descendants of the Li family to commemorate the ancestor Li Huode Gong who entered Fujian, and it has been more than 800 years since Li Huode entered Fujian.

Everyone was watching inside, and before they had gone far, the old man Li Pingfu shouted from behind, saying that it was done.

The old man not only boiled the boiling water, but also warmed the leftovers and beckoned everyone to eat. The warriors all looked at Wushan, and with a wave of his hand, he promised the old man. So, those who were standing, squatting, and sitting, all began to eat the dry food they had brought. From time to time, I use chopsticks to pick up vegetables, anyway, I know that there are instructors together, and someone pays for everything. There's no way, Wushan can't cry or laugh, it's all his own habit. The warriors were well fed and waited for the two old men who led the way. When they saw it, they smiled embarrassedly and sped up their progress.

Before leaving, Wushan took out thirty yuan, but Uncle Li Pingfu refused to accept it, saying that he had already given it first. After pushing it for a long time, he was only willing to accept ten yuan, and he refused to ask for the rest. The Li family of Minzhou is the descendant of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and the Li family of Longxi. In a big family, it is important to pass the torch from generation to generation. What is more important is the good family motto and the children and grandchildren who keep the family motto.

"Where are you going?" In fact, the old man Li Pingfu didn't know the identity of Wushan. He sat in front of the gate today, and he could see so many soldiers who he had never seen in his life. He just asked casually.

Lu Zuhai translated it to him, Wu Shan twisted his eyebrows and thought about it, or let Uncle Su, an old acquaintance of Uncle Li, tell the old man the truth.

"Oh, I see a lot of troops heading north." The old man was very emotional: "If you ask other people, they may not know." If you want to scout, go north. ”

Northern? Northern! Everyone looked at each other. Even fools understand that the main direction of the enemy's attack is in the north. That is, from above to the back of the mountain brigade, straight to the heart!
