Chapter 241: A Few in One Village
When they woke up, Xi Chen and Gu Guanqing washed up and prepared to set off with the team.
Now they not only have a battlefield mission, but also a task given by the regiment, that is, to rush to the military hospital in the rear.
Xi Chen: They are leaving, what do the people in the village say?
They all came out to send Xi Chen to them, and gave Xi Chen some food and eggs.
There are also hand-made cloth shoes, with mille-feuille soles, one stitch and one thread.
Xi Chen looked at these, and he was also moved, he could feel the support of these people for them.
It's just that there are not many young and middle-aged people in the village, and what may remain is the roots in this village, and they are unwilling to let them join the army, Xi Chen can understand.
"Thank you, folks, we will fight the devils and drive them out." Xi Chen was not polite, and asked everyone to accept all the things given by the people.
Now is not the time to be a hero, a penny can stump a hero, let alone this food.
After accepting the things, Xi Chen set off with the team, but just when they walked to the head of the village, three young people ran out.
"We're going to join the army, do you want us?" Three young men shouted.
They were not very old, the oldest was no more than twenty years old, and the youngest looked less than twenty years old.
Xi Chen looked at the three people in front of him, and then looked at the group of people in the village.
"Do your parents agree?" Xi Chen asked the three of them.
"We don't have parents, and both of our parents are dead." The three said.
"Dead at the hands of devils?" Xi Chen asked.
"My parents died at the hands of traitors."
"My parents died at the hands of devils."
"I don't know, I'm an orphan, and the old Yang in the village raised me, but he died of illness."
The three have different backgrounds.
"Why do you want to join the army?" Xi Chen asked the three of them.
"We want to avenge our parents." Defend the country?
They don't have this concept in their hearts, what is the concept they have in their hearts?
It's revenge.
The traitors and devils killed their families, and they wanted to fight the devils to take revenge.
This is their idea and original intention, there is no big goal, there is no big ambition, simple but firm.
"What about you?" Xi Chen asked the orphan raised by the old Yang Tou.
"I don't know, we are brothers, they want to fight devils to take revenge, I will help them fight devils to get revenge." This person's words are even simpler.
The people in the village, looking at the three children, were a little worried and didn't want them to join the army.
But now that they ran out on their own, the people in the village couldn't say anything, so they could only watch the situation here.
Xi Chen said to Wang Cannon: "Get them three guns." ”
Wang Cannon drew three guns from the carriage and said, "Take them first, and when you have time, I will teach you how to use them." ”
With a gun in their hands, the three of them were a little excited.
Xi Chen glanced back at the village and said, "I'll try my best to take them out and bring them back." ”
But Xi Chen's words, the people in the village were silent.
They've sent too many people out, but they haven't welcomed too many people back.
This is the truth, just like Xi Chen and them came out of the county seat.
On that day, gongs and drums were beaten, and firecrackers were set off.
Xi Chen sat on a tall horse, with a huge red flower on his chest.
The beloved girl gave her lover a handkerchief that she showed herself.
The old mother of the family took the boiled eggs for you to eat on the road, and put a new pair of cloth shoes in your arms.
But what about now?
Of the team of more than 200 people, there were only about 30 people left, and when they returned to the county seat, they didn't know how many people would be left.
Xi Chen also knew that his words were a little pale.
"Let's go." Xi Chen shouted and asked everyone to hurry.
Walking on the road, her mood slowly adjusted, and Gu Guanqing was still very concerned about her three children.
Although Gu Guanqing looks more like a child.
"It's not that it's ineffective, and there are three people." Gu Guanqing said to Xi Chen.
Xi Chen didn't think that there were few people, he thought it was a good thing.
He said: "There are a few people in a village, and if we go all the way to the military hospital, we can pass through at least a dozen villages, and as long as we can get a few people from each village, then our team will not be small." ”
"Are you going to go in every village?" Gu Guanqing asked Xi Chen.
Xi Chen shook his head and said, "No, that's too troublesome and a waste of time." ”
"You and Zhang Wa take a few people to form a propaganda team and go to the village to publicize."
"You have fewer people and are more mobile, so it will be faster."
Xi Chen doesn't plan to let the team in, the rush that should be rushed, and the propaganda that should be promoted.
"This is a good solution, I'll call Zhang Wa and plan the route of the village." After Gu Guanqing's exercise last night, he now feels that he will not be too nervous to go to the village to publicize.
Only Zhang Wa is not good, Xi Chen also gave Zhang Mo to them, and Zhang Mo is familiar with the route.
"Company commander, we will go from Wangjiazhuang, then pass through Zhaozhuang all the way, and finally reach Bailikou."
"We meet at Bailikou." Zhang Mo said to Xi Chen.
The location of these villages is not very clear in his mind, and he is vague.
But since Zhang Mo said that they can converge, then there should be no big problem.
"Okay, be careful." Xi Chen said to a few people.
"Company commander, don't worry, we will protect Madame." Everybody is talking.
Not only did Xi Chen get their approval, but Gu Guanqing also got their recognition.
Now they have to follow them to the village to recruit soldiers, and they feel that the big men should protect women.
Instead, he wanted Gu Guanqing to pay more attention, and Gu Guanqing's ability was a little stronger than them.
Gu Guanqing understood what Xi Chen meant, she nodded, and set off with people.
Xi Chen also took people and walked his own way, there are so many of them, not every village has to pass by, it is inconvenient, and their whereabouts may be exposed.
From here to the Bailikou that Zhang Mo said, Xi Chen and they walked for three days, and three days later, in Bailikou, Xi Chen ordered everyone to wait in place, waiting for Gu Guanqing and them.
At noon, Gu Guanqing and the others came back, and there were many people behind them.
Xi Chen took a cursory look, and there were about thirty people.
There are almost three people in each village, and Xi Chen thinks the effect is good.
There are about 30 people here, plus Xi Chen, there are more than 30 people here, Xi Chen looked at it, they were already like a company, about 70 people.
"Company commander, we're back." Zhang Wa shouted excitedly.
Seeing these newcomers, Xi Chen spoke simply.
It is to tell them that if they join the team, they must fight devils well.
As for the military uniforms, Xi Chen asked them to get them.
They had military uniforms in their supplies, after all, so many brothers died, and the clothes remained.
Xi Chen: At that time, they chose some military uniforms that were not very broken and did not have a lot of bloodstains, but now they are useful.
Hair uniforms, guns.
Xi Chen looked at the fact that from a dozen people, to more than 30 people, to more than 70 people, there was really a qualitative leap.
Of course, Xi Chen didn't dare to think that he had come to this point from more than 200 people, and it hurt to think about it.
