In the early years of the Republic of China, wars were frequent, warlords were divided, and all parties vied to expand their strength.

In that era, the officers and the army and the bandits were not incompatible, and instead of fighting for both sides, the officers and soldiers were more willing to adopt the strategy of appeasement, and the bandits were also willing to be recruited.

Many people are bandits, and there are also bandits who are bandits, and there are even those who waver from time to time.

The sky is slightly bright, the sky is full of fog, and the cold is pressing.

Li Siwei walked out of the operating room with Wu Ruolan, who had been busy all night and had to rest.

The wounded in the courtyard had dispersed, only a few brothers were on duty, and there was snoring in the air.

"Commander," Miao Zhenghua greeted him and reported in a low voice, "they are all asleep, and some brothers have been arranged to watch them." ”

"Well," Li Siwei nodded and patted him on the shoulder, "I'll leave it to you here, as long as they don't make trouble, let them be." ”

"Yes," Miao Zhenhua agreed, his face full of solemnity, "Commander, please rest assured, there will be no mistakes if I am watching!" ”

This is the first time he has taken charge on his own, so naturally he has to give it his all.

Among Li Siwei's three guards, he was smoother than Dao Kui and Gan Fei, but he didn't dare to be careless at all.

"Hard work," Li Siwei nodded with satisfaction and took Wu Ruolan away.

Except for the brothers who guarded the captives and guarded, everyone else had already fallen asleep, and there was some quiet along the way.

Outside the lobby, Liao Heiniu greeted him, a little embarrassed, "That woman has already slept in the back hall...... Alas, it's an infatuation, it's hurt like that, and I still remember that Zhao Tianbao, I always wanted to see you, and I persuaded you for a long time to persuade him. ”

Li Siwei glared at him and scolded with a smile, "When did you become so pitiful to the jade?" ”

"Turtle's," Liao Heiniu was stunned and glared back, "I want Lao Tzu to be a brother in Jiangcheng back then, and he was also a well-known romantic figure, which woman who is good with Lao Tzu doesn't say a good word?" ”

"Phew!" Wu Ruolan blushed and spiffed, "Are you okay?" ”

Liao Heiniu's old face turned red, and he smiled, "Doctor Wu came just in time, the bed in the back hall is not small, you can just take a rest, don't worry, the brothers have searched it, and there is no way to go wrong." ”

"Yes," Li Siwei nodded hurriedly, took Wu Ruolan's little hand and entered the door.

There was a bonfire burning in the lobby, and the brothers rolled up thin quilts and slept on the floor, snoring one after another, filling the lobby.

Li Siwei slowed his steps, pulled Wu Ruolan carefully through the hall, and entered the back hall.

The oil lamp in the back hall was still on, Cui'er was lying on the bed, looking at the beams of the room blankly, under the red and swollen eyes, the tears were still there, and when she saw Li Siwei coming in, she quickly sat up and was about to get out of bed.

Wu Ruolan hurriedly broke free of Li Siwei's hand, walked over in three or two steps, and gently held her down, "Sister, you hurt your head, you have to rest well." ”

"I ......" Cui'er opened her mouth, tears poured down again, looked at Wu Ruolan, and then looked at Li Siwei, "Sir......"

"Lie down!" Li Siwei pulled Lian Lian, and his tone was not good, "In your eyes, am I just an unreasonable person?" ”

"No!" Cui'er was startled and hurriedly shook her head, "I don't mean anything, I'm just afraid of ......"

"What are you afraid of?" Li Siwei waved his hand irritably, with anger in his tone, "What to do with them, I will decide!" If you make trouble again...... They will have no good fruit to eat! ”

Cui'er's face turned pale and she didn't dare to squeak anymore.

"Ruolan, have a good rest!" Li Siwei looked at Wu Ruolan, his tone was much better, and he turned around and left.

Out of the back hall, through the lobby, and outside the door, Li Siwei took out the crumpled cigarette case, took out a cigarette and lit it, and took two puffs hard.

"Give Lao Tzu a pick-me-up," Liao Heiniu leaned over, looking tired, "I have to let the brothers rest for two days!" ”

Li Siwei took out another cigarette case, looked at the four left, gave one to Liao Heiniu, took out two more and handed them to the two brothers on duty, and smiled gently, "It's hard work, the whole shot is refreshing." ”

The brother on the right hurriedly shook his head, "Commander, I won't!" ”

"Thank you, Captain," the brother on the left grinned and sniffed deeply before putting it in his mouth.

"Okay," Li Siwei smiled, "You won't, Lao Tzu can smoke a little longer...... Turtle's, it's been a long time since I've met a little devil, and I'm almost out of smoke! ”

The two of them were stunned for a moment and chuckled.

Li Siwei took out a match, "snorted", slashed it, and leaned over to the brother on the left.

The brother was stunned and flattered, "Commander, I'll come by myself, I'll ...... by myself"

As he spoke, he went to get the match.

Li Siwei glared and scolded with a smile, "Long-winded hammer!" ”

"Uh......" The brother was stunned, and quickly leaned over to the match, smashed it twice, and lit the cigarette.

"Luo Dazui, you turtle is blessed!" Liao Heiniu came up with a smile, looked at the brother and quipped, "Let the head of the regiment light a cigarette for your turtle!" ”

Luo Dazui smiled a little strangely, not knowing how to answer.

Li Siwei shook out the match, looked at Luo Dazui and smiled, "Don't listen to the nonsense of the black bull, you are still young, work hard, maybe you will be older than Lao Ziguan in the future!" ”

Hearing this, Luo's big mouth loosened, and he smiled honestly, "Commander, don't make fun of me, no matter when, you are also my leader!" ”

"I can speak," Liao Heiniu nodded with a smile and looked at Li Siwei, but his expression was the same, "What are you worried about?" ”

"Worried?" Li Siwei was stunned for a moment, and smiled reluctantly, "Which eye do you see that Lao Tzu is worried?" ”

Liao Heiniu glared, "Lao Tzu has seen both eyes!" ”

"Turtle's," Li Siwei glared at him, turned around and left, walked to the courtyard, sat down on a stone pier, and smoked silently.

Liao Heiniu followed, squeezed around him and sat down, "How should I arrange them if you're worried?" ”

"Hmm," Li Siwei nodded lightly, the cigarette had burned out, he threw the cigarette butt at his feet, crushed it fiercely, and found another one.

Liao Heiniu groaned for a while, and then spoke, "Turtle'er, if it was a few years ago, this would not be a problem at all...... When Lao Tzu followed the fat brother, he accepted Zhao'an directly, and became a major battalion commander! However, the situation is different now, and I don't know...... What's the attitude? ”

"Yes," Li Siwei lit his cigarette and sighed softly, "The situation has changed!" ”

Liao Heiniu glanced back at him, "Don't think so much, go sleep first, wait for Sanyang and Yongnian to come over, ask them, those two turtles are from staff officers, they may know more!" ”

Li Siwei nodded, "That...... Lao Tzu goes to sleep first, you keep an eye on the things in the cottage! ”

Staff officers, especially those like Zheng Sanyang and Lu Yongnian, who had stayed in Hankou, were much better at handling these matters than officers like Li Siwei, who had risen up in the ranks.

"Turtle's," Liao Heiniu glared and scolded with a smile: "Lao Tzu is still not at ease when he looks at you?" ”

"Don't worry," Li Siwei hurriedly shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, you have to tell you...... Lao Tzu is the head of the regiment! ”

Li Siwei smiled and left, entered the lobby, found his thin quilt, rolled it up, and lay down against the door of the back hall, and after a while, he snored.

I don't know how long it took, Li Siwei was shaken awake, opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Zheng Sanyang's smiling face, "Why did you sleep here?" ”

"Here," Li Siwei hurriedly turned over and sat up, and smiled, "Isn't this more comfortable than sleeping in an air-raid shelter?" ”

As he spoke, Li Siwei was about to get up, "Let's go, find a place to talk about things!" ”

"What's that?" Zheng Sanyang smiled and shook his head, "Hei Niu said, in fact, you don't understand!" Since there are people, they will be co-opted, as long as they can fight devils, they will be easy to explain there! ”

Li Siwei was stunned and a little pleased, "Really? ”

"Okay," Zheng Sanyang nodded heavily, "Leave it to me!" ”

Zheng Sanyang replied in the affirmative, but Li Siwei hesitated again, "Turtle'er, those guys don't do bad things!" ”

"Hehe," Zheng Sanyang smiled and lowered his voice, "As long as they get under Ni's hands, they won't let you clean it up?" ”

Li Siwei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "It's the same...... That's it! ”

"Do you want to sleep again?" Zheng Sanyang saw that Li Siwei was relieved, so he asked with a smile.

"I've slept enough," Li Siwei got up and began to clean up the quilt, "Lao Tzu smells the fragrance, Wei Yidao's meal is almost ready!" ”

When the two of them left the lobby, they saw the brothers coming and going in the courtyard, busy.

Lu Yongnian greeted him, his face full of joy, "This place is good, it's just a little smaller, just wait for the brothers to clean it up." ”

"Well," Li Siwei nodded, "It's to clean up well, and when it's done, it's time to rest for two days." ”

As he was talking, Huang Hua, Shi Meng and Liao Heiniu all came.

"Commander," Shi Meng's appearance was a little irritated, "what to do with those prisoners?" It's not a problem to be locked up like this, and it's very troublesome to eat, drink, and Lazar! ”

Liao Heiniu was also smiling bitterly, "Yes, keep it off...... I'm afraid those guys are going to blow up the thorns! ”

"Dog's dare?" Li Siwei's face sank, "Locked up for another day, Lao Tzu can't clean them up?" ”

Shi Meng was still a little hesitant, "But ......"

Zheng Sanyang hurriedly smiled, "Camp Commander Shi, lock it up!" The head of the regiment will clean them up ......"

"Yes!" The three of them had no choice but to respond, and they had to make arrangements.

"Wait a minute," Li Siwei suddenly stopped them, "If there are injuries, treat them, take them to the thatched house, and deliver a bowl of boiling water on time for each meal." ”

"Turtles," Liao Heiniu shook his head, "Lao Tzu is raising a group of masters!" ”

Huang Hua and Shi Meng could only smile bitterly.

In this way, a group of captives lived a life of eating and opening their mouths, but one by one they became more and more worried.

Fucha Morgen did not return until the evening, and returned with eleven mules and horses, as well as eight captives and a young man, and that young man was Dou Erhu.

Fucha Morgen took Dou Erhu into the lobby.

Entering the door, Dou Erhu stood quietly behind Fucha Morgen, glancing at Li Siwei from time to time. Fucha Morgen was reporting to Li Siwei, "All of them have been caught, seven are alive, and four are dead...... Unfortunately, seven mules were nothing, and three of the four horses were useless! ”

He was a lover of horses.

"Forget it," Li Siwei smiled indifferently, "The mule has good stamina, and they are all given black water, and they can use it...... The three horses were slaughtered, and the brothers were given food! ”

"Yes!" Fucha Morgen nodded hurriedly, then turned back and pointed at Dou Erhu, "I met him on the road, he was wandering around in the mountains alone, saying that he was looking for you and wanted to be a soldier." ”

"Master Jun," Dou Erhu hurriedly stepped forward when he heard this, "My name is Dou Erhu, I am from Dou Village, my grandfather also went to see you, you left him for dinner." ”

"Village Chief Dou's nephew," Li Siwei glanced at him with a smile, and suddenly his face turned pale, "Boy, as soon as you enter the door, you will stare at Lao Tzu, what is on Lao Tzu?" ”

Dou Erhu was startled and blurted out, "Grandpa said that you have evil qi on you, and I can't see it all the time......"

As he spoke, Dou Erhu's face turned pale and he hurriedly stopped.

Li Siwei was stunned and couldn't help laughing, "Turtle's, it's really a tiger baby!" ”

Seeing that Li Siwei was not angry, Dou Erhu suddenly felt relieved, and hurriedly smiled, "Master Jun, my nickname is Huwa!" ”

Li Siwei smiled and nodded, "You really want to be a soldier?" It's not easy to be a soldier! ”

Hearing this, Dou Erhu's face was full of joy, "Master Jun, I know that when you are a soldier, you must not be afraid of bloodshed, not afraid of the dead, not afraid of whizzing shells and whistling bullets...... And kill people! ”

"Oh," Li Siwei was stunned, a little surprised, "Then have you thought about it?" ”

"I've thought about it," Dou Erhu perked up and nodded hurriedly, "Actually, I thought about it last night...... I'm bold, you're not afraid, I'm not afraid, you can kill, I can ......"

"Turtle's," Li Siwei interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "It's not okay to just say, stay and try it first, if it doesn't work, go back!" ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you," Dou Erhu hurriedly knelt down.

"Stop!" Li Siwei was in a hurry, what he was most afraid of was this, "If you want to kneel, go back to Lao Tzu!" ”

Dou Erhu's movements froze, and he looked at Li Siwei blankly, "That's ...... Shall I do it for you? ”

Li Siwei was stunned for a moment, glaring at Fucha Morgen, "Turtle's, you brought it back, you arrange it yourself!" ”

"Done!" Fucha Morgen smiled, "It's a clever baby, I'll take him with me!" ”

As he spoke, Fucha Morgen turned around and pulled Dou Erhu, "Let's go, Lao Tzu will take you to meet your brothers!" ”

This night, the cooking row slaughtered the horse, stewed fragrantly, and the Tianqing Village was full of jubilation.

Listening to the laughter outside, the captives were a little surprised, and at dinner, their boiled water was also replaced with broth, which made them feel a little calmer.

The 66th Regiment was stationed in Tianqing Village, and the training was stopped for two days in a row, and the brothers really had a good rest, and they had meat to eat, and they were all in good spirits.

The captives also drank a few meals of broth, and the days were better than when they were bandits.

It's just that Li Siwei hasn't said how to deal with them, which makes them a little tormented.

On the third day, it rained drizzly in Tianqing Village, and the undulating green hills were covered with a layer of mist, which added a bit of enchantment.

Li Siwei stood in the drizzle, looked at the green mountains around him for a while, and suddenly opened his mouth, "Zhenhua, bring Zhao Tianbao out." ”

"Yes!" Miao Zhenhua answered and hurriedly went to the side courtyard.

Li Siwei exhaled a long breath and stretched, "It's all rested, it's time to get down to business!" ”
