Chapter 31: Wine

The bandit was not as fierce as he had imagined, a man in his thirties, dressed in shabby linen clothes, with two holes in his boots, and he looked no different from most of the ordinary low-level residents living in Phoenix.

It was not an easy task for the security service, which was in charge of reconnaissance and information gathering, to be able to confirm his identity.

The place where the bandits were caught was only one street away from the camp of the Phoenix Ninth Company, and judging from the direction in which he fled, he should have run from the Ninth Company.

The bandit was shot in the leg by one of the guards and then thrown to the ground by another soldier and restrained his hands and feet.

It's a pity that the soldiers at the guard office are still a little slower, and after the bandit realizes that he can't get out, he actually bites off half of his tongue and spits it on the ground.

"Bastard, bastard!"

The popular punch of the guard smashed into the bandit in the chest, and the punch was so heavy that it broke at least two ribs of the bandit.

Without a tongue, interrogation would be very difficult.

"Stop the bleeding for him, don't let him die so soon!"

When Huang Shang rushed over, the battle was over, and the bandits were pulled up by the guards and were about to be escorted back for interrogation.

"Huang Shang, what's the situation?" Kong Huahua ran over from behind and asked.

The bandit who had just walked out suddenly looked back, a bloody mouth grinning, revealing a terrifying smile.

Is he smiling at me?

Huang Shang "chuckled" in his heart, and he immediately doubted whether the appearance of the bandits would have something to do with him.

If you want to say that you have a relationship with bandits, you can only do it once during the recruit assessment.

It shouldn't be.

At that time, the bandits were basically all killed by the veterans led by Li Jianfeng, and they had never heard of anyone escaping alive, so the bandits should not have counted the account on their heads.

Am I suspicious?

Huang Shang turned his head and looked back and forth, there was no one standing around him except Kong Huahua, but there were many onlookers standing in front of him, and he was not sure that he was smiling at himself.

However, the eyes of the bandits just now really made people panic, and they always felt that something bad was going to happen.

"Oh, I've just arrived, too, and I don't know."

Huang Shang said casually.

At the mouth of the alley, less than thirty meters away from Huang Shang, a Lori wearing a straw hat stared at Huang Shang with eyes like knives, and when her wrist flipped, there was an extra dart in her palm.

Just as Lori wanted to fly the dart out, a man who was also wearing a straw hat and had a meaty face suddenly grabbed Lori's wrist and shook his head.

Lori was a little unwilling in her eyes, but she still put away the darts.

The two looked at Huang Shang, then at the bandits who were escorted away, and quickly disappeared into the alley.

Back in the company, Huang Shang looked for an opportunity to ask the company commander Li Jianfeng: "Company commander, what will you do with the bandit you caught today?" ”

"Of course, it was torture to extract a confession and squeeze out everything he knew."

Li Jianfeng replied.

"But the guy bit off his tongue and couldn't speak."

Huang Shang thought of the scene where the bandit bit off his tongue, and still felt that the other party was extremely fierce.

Li Jianfeng sneered: "Do you think those guys in the guard department are vegetarians?"

Hmph, they have a way.

Even if a dead person falls into their hands, they have a way to squeeze a penny of oil and water!

By the way, why are you so interested in that bandit? ”

"Oh, it's just a little weird."

Huang Shang replied that the smile on the bandit's face when he was escorted away still made him unforgettable.

There's nothing wrong with being careful.

"By the way, this is your allowance for this month, I received it for you, save some flowers.

Oh, and if you want to take a vacation and go back and have a look, I can grant you a day off. ”

Li Jianfeng said as he took out two general-purpose coins from his pocket and handed them to Huang Shang.

Two general-purpose coins are not much, but for Huang Shang, it is the first "salary" in his life, and he is a little excited to hold it in his hand.

As for vacations.

Huang Shang knew that recruits had no holidays, but the Phoenix Ninth Company had always been special, and there were not so many death rules.

Since the company commander personally said that he could give himself a day off to go home, Huang Shang naturally wouldn't waste it, so he immediately agreed.

Leaving the company commander's office, Huang Shang went straight to the Phoenix Army Service Club.

The so-called service society is actually a store that sells a variety of daily necessities.

Primary-class drinking water, white flour, rice and meat, and a range of cooked foods can be purchased here.

There is one thing that the service agency will not sell, and that is wine.

Alcohol is contraband, and moonshine is illegal.

The service agency is only open to the Phoenix Army, and all the items sold in it are purchased at a purchase price, which is directly supplied by the state, and there are no wholesalers to earn the difference.

It is also considered a benefit for soldiers.

Two universal coins can't buy much outside, but they can buy several times as many goods outside the service agency.

Huang Shang bought a piece of flower cloth for his little sister to make clothes, the little girl grew too fast, and last year's clothes were obviously too small to wear.

In the past, the mother bought some clothes from the second-hand clothes store and sewed them for the little sister to wear, and it has always been the wish of the little sister to have a new dress of her own.

Huang Shang received the allowance for the first time, and the first thing he wanted was to meet his little sister's wishes for many years.

In addition to the flower cloth, Huang Shang bought two boxes of dim sum for his mother, and the rest of the money was all used to buy rice, noodles and second-class drinking water.

In the past, Huang Shang never thought of taking so many things home, firstly, because he had no money, and secondly, because he was afraid that others would be robbed.

Now it's different, the identity of Huang Shang's Phoenix Army is there, even if someone is red-eyed, he doesn't dare to make a bad idea.

After shopping, Huang Shangcai realized that he had bought too much, and there was no way for one person to take it.

By the way, you can ask Qian Xiaohao for help.

Huang Shangxian deposited his things in the service club, and went to the company commander's office to help Qian Xiaohao take a day off.

At night, Qian Xiaohao mysteriously sneaked into Huang Shang's room like a thief, locked the door and took out a large paper bag from under his jacket.

"Ah Shang, what do you guess is in here?"

"Meat!"

Huang Shang jumped down from the bed and shouted, from the moment Qian Xiaohao pushed the door in, he had already smelled the smell of meat.

"Hey, hey.

You guessed it right, I went to the service agency and bought a sesame oil chicken and two catties of braised pork. ”

Qian Xiaohao said with a smile.

Huang Shang also saw sesame oil chicken and braised pork in the service club earlier, and was attracted by the smell of meat at that time, and he wanted to buy some to satisfy his cravings.

However, meat is too expensive compared to rice and white flour.

In order to bring more food for his mother and little sister, Huang Shang could only choose to give up.

"You're such a brother."

Huang Shang said happily that because there were no tables and chairs, the two sat directly on the ground.

"You helped me take a day off, of course I have to thank you, otherwise I don't know when I will have the opportunity to go home."

Qian Xiaohao said as he took out the wrapped sesame oil chicken and braised pork from the bag and put them on the ground, then took out a bamboo tube and shook it, and asked mysteriously,

"Guess what this is?"

"What?"

Huang Shang felt like water when he heard the voice, but he knew that it was definitely not.

Qian Xiaohao leaned into Huang Shang's ear and whispered: "Wine." ”
