The embankment here is sloping, the river is wider than the bridge, and the river is not so turbulent. Liang Guocheng was knocked to the shore by the shore waves in a coma, and half of his body was immersed in the river water. The rain stopped, and the river breeze blew, carrying a chill. He felt the cold, and subconsciously wanted to pull the quilt, reaching out and grabbing a handful of mud and sand.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that half of my body was soaked in the river, and my clothes and crutches were gone. I finally returned to my motherland, and I can live like a normal person, and I don't have to worry about it all day long. To find his troops as soon as possible and heal the wounded, maybe the doctor who treated her was Xiaoyu. After so much ordeal, he misses his loved ones, his grandparents at home, and especially his lover more than ever.

After the rain, Liang Guocheng shivered and returned to reality. Half of his body was still soaked in the water, without crutches, his hands were supported, and he barely stood up. Seeing * naked himself, he quickly squatted down again. It was already beginning to dawn, and the shadows of the village could be seen in the distance. How can I first have clothes to cover my shame, and find a simple thing as a crutch. As long as you have clothes and crutches, you can stand and walk; No one should be seen lying naked on the ground like a dog!

When the mountain water comes down, the river water swells instantly, and some things will be washed down the river, and as the water falls, they will stay on the riverside. Liang Guocheng flipped through it, and there was no proper crutche. I only found a wooden stick two meters long, and I couldn't walk fast with one of my hands, so I hurried out of the river. He walked a section with a stick, and it was already dawn.

He was in a hurry, naked in broad daylight, and people who didn't understand what could he think of him? At this time, I saw a shack in front of me, which was a place where the people who watched the crops in autumn rested. Now the seedlings are only half leg high, and no one will come.

The shack is only half the height of an adult, and the inside is easy to rest and supplemented with thick hay. He bent inside and lay down on the straw mat, grabbing the grass on both sides and covering his body, feeling safe and comfortable for the first time since leaving Eiji's house. I was so tired from tossing and turning last night that I fell asleep after a while. He was sleeping soundly, and someone stopped him.

I couldn't break free even after a few struggles, and I shouted loudly in a hurry. He was slapped heavily in the face, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the shack was full of people standing inside and outside, the man was holding him inside, and the woman was pointing outside.

A young man: "Press it, bring the rope." ”

They pressed him down, tied him up, and carried him to his feet. The woman in the back saw Liang Guocheng who was naked, and hid back as if she was frying a pot, and a young girl covered her face and scolded: "What kind of person? So shameless? ”

Another woman scolded: "It's a stinky rascal!" ”

Originally, in order to consolidate national defense, the country was the first to establish militia organizations in the border areas. With a shackle in one hand and a weapon in the other, the militias keep an eye on any pedestrians along the border. Those who were not introduced to the frontier by the organization at that time were regarded as class enemies. Liang Guocheng is someone they stumbled upon and regarded as a class enemy. Liang Guocheng was tied naked, pushed and shoved in broad daylight, walking like a parade in the streets.

When I entered the village and came to the old-fashioned village office, the village chief was a thin and dry old man. After listening to their introduction, I took advantage of the heavy rain yesterday to rise in the river and floated from the opposite bank without clothes. On the other side of the river is socialism, and we are a friendly country forged with blood. Swimming and escaping from that side is dissatisfied with the Workers' Party of Korea and socialism, and it is also possible that they are hostile agents.

The militiamen did not dare to slack off and immediately escorted him to the village chief.

The village chief tugged at the little goatee and spoke in a northeastern dialect: "Little third son, you take a few militiamen, set up a car to send this counter-revolution to the town police station." ”

Xiao Sanzi is a militia platoon commander who has just taken office. Immediately set up a mule cart, called two other militia fighters, and escorted Liang Guocheng all the way to the town.

Along the way, it was the time for the countryside to go to the field, and Liang Guocheng was tied up with ropes and sat naked in the car, being pointed at by people like looking at monkeys. In his memory, he had never been insulted like this, even in a foreign country in North Korea, he had never been insulted like this, making him so ashamed!

He accosted the little third son flatteringly, trying to make him find a dress to cover his shame. Xiao Sanzi thought in his heart that he was a class enemy, so he let him wear out his mouth, but he didn't look back when he didn't hear it. He had no choice but to keep his head down and let passers-by abuse him.

The cart walked for more than an hour and came to a village and town. Speaking of villages and towns, it is only the larger Dongbeitun, which is the seat of the township government, and the police station is not far from the government.

There was a big tree in front of the police station, and the third son tied the mule to the big tree. He said to the two militiamen in the car: "Don't sit still. You two get this counter-revolutionary calf down, and I'll go to the director first to report. ”

The police station is a private house, which was a large family before the liberation, and the black gate can pass a horse-drawn carriage, and there are five main houses in a row. The little third son walked in with a horsewhip in his hand, and as soon as he entered the gate, he was opened by the side door and asked a small window: "What are you doing, don't ask to break in, when this is a big car shop?" ”

Xiao Sanzi has only been a militia platoon commander for a few days, and he has never been to the police station, so he was already a little nervous and was startled by the sudden voice. His hands trembled, the horsewhip fell to the ground, and he hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "I am the militia platoon commander of Gaoliangtun, and I caught a counter-revolutionary smuggler and sent it to the police station." ”

Xiao Sanzi waved his hand, and the two militiamen brought in Liang Guocheng, who was tied up with five flowers. The porter was an older one, and when he saw Liang Guocheng naked, he frowned: "Why are you naked?" ”

Xiao Sanzi hurriedly explained: "He floated over from the other side of the river, and that's it. ”

The porter pointed to the middle room: "We are in the middle room." ”

The director of the upper room heard the outside talking, opened a few doors and saw three militiamen escorting Liang Guocheng naked, dissatisfied with the little third son and their militiamen, and waved them into the office. When I returned to the house, I just sat down on the stool, when the door was opened again, and a big man came in. The person who came was wearing a railway uniform, carrying a semi-circular rice bucket in his left hand and two small red and green flags of street lamps in his right hand, and spoke in a loud voice in Shandong dialect: "Is Lao Wang here?" ”

The director of the police station and the person who came were comrades-in-arms, who joined the army at the same time in the later stage of the Liberation War, and later joined the war together in North Korea, joined the party together on the front line, and transferred to the local government together after returning to China. One was assigned to the public security system as the director, and the other was assigned to the railway as the commander of the freight car. But the friendship formed between the two in the war, and those who have not been through the war can never understand that kind of comradeship.

Wang Tiesuo was shorter than the person who came, and he was more sturdy, and his beard had not been shaved for a few days. Seeing his old comrade-in-arms, he was a little excited, and punched Li Guizi: "I thought you forgot about me, an old comrade-in-arms?" ”

Li Guizi laughed and put down the street lamp. Lifting up the rice bowl he was carrying, he took out a bottle of wine from his pocket: "I just came back with the car, bought pig's head meat, and when you get off work, you will have a drink?" ”

Wang Tiesuo took the wine and looked at it, slowed down his voice, and said in a deep voice: "Pity those good comrades-in-arms, who died in a foreign country, and can no longer drink together." ”

Liang Guocheng was humiliated all the way, and understood that now that he has returned to China, it is too difficult for people to believe that he is a volunteer soldier, and besides, he still smuggled over, and he lost his credibility. Hearing them talk about a comrade-in-arms dying in a foreign country, his first reaction might be North Korea, and he felt that they might be his comrades-in-arms in North Korea.

Now the only thing that can save him is comradeship, and only by drinking the blood of his comrades-in-arms like this can he feel the friendship that is better than his relatives! This is also his chance, he said: "I am from the X'X Army, the army commander Hu Yu, and the political commissar Li Furu. ”

Wang Tiesuo Li Guizi turned his head at the same time, and Li Guizi asked, "You are also a volunteer soldier?" ”

Since Liang Guocheng was captured, someone finally looked at him and talked to him as a normal person. He went from coming to Korea with a lot of blood, to being wounded and captured, fighting the enemy in prison, and finally being thrown out as a dead man. The kind-hearted Yingji saved him, and he was almost drowned until yesterday, and he finished in tears in one breath.

Wang Tiesuo Li Guizi was deeply moved by his story from the beginning of his doubts, and has been with him to tears. When he finished, the three of them wept into tears.

Wang Tiesuo listened to Liang Guocheng finish his ordeal and wiped his tears with his big hand. Glaring at Qing Qing, she said angrily to the little third son standing behind: "Dog! Why don't we loosen the ties of our old comrades-in-arms! ”

Xiao Sanzi led the militia to send Liang Guocheng, thinking that he could be praised. Now the three of them have become a gang, and they have scolded him. There was nowhere to spread the fire in his belly, and the two militiamen behind him were still standing stupidly, spreading their anger on them, and scolding: "You two calves, don't let go quickly!" ”

The third son left with the militia, and it was time for lunch. Wang Tiesuo found him a few old clothes, and the three of them went to the small canteen of the police station, drinking wine and chatting about the Korean War, the years of suffering, and the comrades-in-arms who sacrificed their lives for the country and sacrificed their bodies in a foreign country and could not return to the country. Talking about the pain, the three of them cried a handful of snot and tears, talked about winning the battle, and laughed at the celebration party.
