Chapter V: Review (5)
Baihuazhou is a small island in the East Lake, only a Baihua Bridge connects the shore of the East Lake, it is precisely because it is not convenient to enter and exit, now it has become the station of the Nanchang camp, the vigilance is naturally easier to do, as long as there is a checkpoint in and out of the Baihua Bridge, you can control all the people and vehicles entering and leaving the camp.
Xiao Linghu didn't have a pass, so naturally he couldn't enter the Baihua Continent.
When he first came here, the guards did not let him come close, and although he had all the good things to say, he did not care, and if it were not for the fact that he was wearing a military uniform, and that he was a second lieutenant, he might have been arrested as a suspicious person long ago.
There was no one he knew, and the guards were not willing to do much to pass on the word for him, so Xiao Linghu had no choice but to stand at the head of the Baihua Bridge from afar, so as to wait for Xiao Huang to appear. He knew that his father must be in the Nanchang camp, which was what Xiao Huang told him. After dropping him off at the train station, Xiao Huang came here.
"Maybe my father is locked up!" Xiao Linghu thought that the reason why he came to the East Lake camp again was actually for no other reason, just worried that something would happen to Xiao Huang, and hoped to hear the news that he was safe. At the train station that day, Xiao Huang's chattering to him also made Xiao Linghu suddenly feel a long-lost family affection, that is, the fatherly love that he had not experienced since he was six years old.
This wait was three days, and during these three days, Xiao Linghu was more energetic than those guards on duty, because these guards did not help him pass the word, but also threatened and intimidated him.
He also stood upright, standing in the same position as the guards, but he stood alone on one end of the bridge, and the guards stood on the other side of the bridge. However, all the people who passed by could be compared, Xiao Linghu's standing posture was much taller and more handsome than that of the guard.
Of course, when the guards were on rotation, Xiao Linghu would also go to rest, eat and drink.
On the third day, it was drizzling in the sky, and those guards thought that the neuropathy on the other side of the bridge would not come again, but when they turned around, they saw Xiao Linghu standing straight on the opposite side of the bridge, completely unafraid of the rain falling in the sky.
The commander of the guard company really had no choice, he had been warned by his boss for three days, because these professional guards were not as good as the second lieutenant outside who didn't know where he came from.
"Brother, I said you were going to stand here for a few days?" The guard company commander wore a raincoat and came to Xiao Linghu with an umbrella, watching the raindrops drip from his hat to his face and then converge on his chin, he didn't even blink his eyes.
After waiting for a long time, Xiao Linghu still stood straight as if he didn't see him.
The guard company commander opened his umbrella and stretched it out to block Xiao Linghu's head, he was half a head shorter than Xiao Linghu, and had to look up at him.
"How are you going to leave?" The guard company commander was begging him a little. On the first day, someone tried to do it with Xiao Linghu, but they didn't take advantage of it. If he hadn't known that this guy also had such two hits, he would have beaten him away a long time ago.
Seeing that Xiao Linghu still didn't answer, he thought for a while, finally softened, sighed, and said, "Okay!" I've really seen the hell these days, you say, who are you going to see? I'll find a way to get you through the letter. β
Hearing this, Xiao Linghu reacted, and was still a little unconvinced, and asked, "Really?" β
"For the sake of the face that you have stood with us for three days, I won't lie to you!" The commander of the guard company swore an oath.
"I want to see Master Xiao!"
"Which Master Xiao?"
"Xiao Huang, the commander of the Eleventh Division!"
The guard company commander thought about it, but shook his head: "Although I don't know all the people in the camp, I remember a lot, because many of them have to pass through this post every day, and there is no such person as Xiao Huang!" β
"He came three days ago, saying it was a meeting, but he didn't come out when he went in!" Xiao Linghu said.
The commander of the guard company thought for a while and said, "When you say that, I seem to remember that there is such a person who has gone in." Why do you have to wait for him? β
Xiao Linghu closed his mouth again, he didn't want to say anything more to this guard company commander.
When the guard company commander saw his eyes, he was angry and hateful, and he thought he was cute, so he had to say, "Okay! Yes! Yes! You kid has a kind, I'm convinced of you! I won't ask so much, so I'll help you ask! β
As he spoke, he handed the umbrella to Xiao Linghu, and was about to turn back to the guard post, but he saw a person in military uniform hurriedly coming out of the camp building with an umbrella, and had already arrived at the bridgehead and walked over.
The guard company commander had sharp eyes, and he immediately recognized the person who came, and couldn't help but shout: "Major Xu, where are you going on this rainy day?" β
Xiao Linghu couldn't help but turn his head to look at the person who came, this person was not wearing a raincoat, so his appearance was not blocked, the closer he got closer, the more familiar he felt, and when he heard the guard company commander call out the name of this person, he immediately recognized that it was Major Xu Jiefu, who had interrogated him in Fuzhou a few days ago.
Xu Jiefu walked in front of them, ignoring the inquiry of the guard company commander, he stared at Xiao Linghu's face, nodded with a wry smile, and only said one sentence: "Sure enough, it's you!" β
"Hello sir!" Xiao Linghu held an umbrella in his left hand and saluted him with his right hand.
"Why are you standing here?" Xu Jiefu asked.
Xiao Linghu said: "I want to know if my father will be punished." β
"Xiao Huang?" Xu Jiefu was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned his head to look at the camp building in the misty rain on Baihuazhou in the distance, and then turned back to stare at the handsome face in front of him, and let out a wry smile: "Xiao Linghu, are you waiting here just to see your father?" β
"Yes!" Xiao Linghu replied truthfully: "Originally, my father sent me to the train station, but I was worried that he would be punished, and I heard Director Ma say that my father came to Nanchang this time to bear the blame, so I want to know if he will be fine!" β
"Even if something happens to him, what can you do if you know?" Xu Jiefu asked.
Xiao Linghu was stunned and said seriously: "Then I'll go to jail for him!" β
"Aren't you going to military school?"
"Then there's no hurry, I can't watch my father suffer!"
Xu Jiefu couldn't cry or laugh, this was completely a child's naΓ―ve idea, but at the same time, he was a little moved, Xiao Linghu was just Xiao Huang's righteous son, but he had such affection, it seems that Xiao Huang has a unique vision!
"Okay, let me tell you, Division Commander Xiao will be fine, they are summing up the gains and losses of the battle, and the chairman of the committee does not particularly blame him." Xu Jiefu said.
"Really?" Xiao Linghu was a little unconvinced.
"Of course it's true!" Xu Jiefu said: "However, Senior Commander Xiao was indeed removed from his post this time, but it is not that you imagined that he will go to prison, he is still a senior staff member of the Commander's Department, although he has no military power, but he is more important to the chairman!" β
knew that Xu Jiefu was comforting himself, but when he heard this, Xiao Linghu still felt a lot more comfortable.
"Can I see him again?" Xiao Linghu asked.
"Why do you have to see him?"
"If I don't see him, I'm not sure!"
Xu Jiefu shook his head with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "You, you're a dead eye!" However, it is also thanks to you that you are such a dead eye, which has aroused the curiosity of the chairman of the committee. β
"Does the chairman know about me?" This surprised Xiao Linghu.
"Yes!" Xu Jiefu said: "You stood here for three days, and on the first day, when the chairman and many senior officials passed by car on the bridge, they felt that you were different from the guards on weekdays; Hehe, you were still standing here the next day, so I didn't want to pay attention to you, they were strange, I don't know where you came from! To this day, they were in the conference room through the window, and they saw you standing here, so they asked people to come and ask, so I came here! β
"Can I see my father?" Xiao Linghu asked again, he didn't care what the chairman and those high-ranking officials thought of him.
"You're too persistent!" Xu Jiefu said, thought about it, and said, "I can only help you try it!" β
"Thank you so much!" Xiao Linghu said politely.
Xu Jiefu said: "I don't need you to thank you, now I just ask you to leave here early, so that you don't have to attract the attention of others!" As he spoke, he swirled his umbrella and turned back to the barracks building once more.
The guard company commander didn't walk away, and kept quietly listening to Xiao Linghu and Xu Jiefu's questions and answers, and at this time, he couldn't help but say: "I said, why can you stand so well?" It turned out to be the son of Master Xiao! Hehe, people say that the eleventh division Xiao has a good way of governing the army, it seems that it really deserves its reputation, this is the tiger father without a dog! In the voice, it was already full of words.
Xiao Linghu only didn't know, didn't speak, and didn't bother to explain more to him.
******************
After a long time, Xiao Huang was accompanied by Xu Jiefu, and walked out of the camp building with an umbrella, when he saw Xiao Huang's majestic body, I don't know why, Xiao Linghu was so excited that his eyes were a little jerky, this may be the reason why the three-day expectation was finally realized.
Xiao Huang came to Xiao Linghu's face, his face was gloomy, but there was an indescribable warmth in his heart. Just when he came out, several colleagues were still joking about him, saying that he had a son who had not yet grown up. However, he knew that these people were actually jealous that he had a good son who was filial.
When Xu Jiefu truthfully reported Xiao Linghu's situation at the summary meeting, dispelling everyone's curiosity, the chairman did not reprimand Xiao Huang's son, but allowed him to take a leave of absence for a while and let him go to meet with his son.
"Why haven't you left yet?" As soon as they met, Xiao Huang kept a straight face, pretended to be very angry, and asked Xiao Linghu.
"I ...... I'm worried about you......" Perhaps startled by Xiao Huang's angry question, Xiao Linghu's words actually stammered a little.
"What do I have to worry about?" Xiao Huang interrupted him: "How can you not listen to me and come here on your own initiative? Do you know what this place is? Fortunately, you didn't cause any trouble, otherwise, even if you are a father, you may not be able to save you! β
"How so?" Xiao Linghu said: "I know that my father is inside, I just want to wait for you to come out here, how can I cause trouble?" β
The rain hit Xiao Linghu's face flutteringly, his whole face was covered with water, his eyes were red, and he didn't know if there were tears, but his face was smiling, this was clearly an innocent happiness!
Xiao Huang finally gathered his face, stretched out his hand to wipe the rain and tears from his son's face, showed his kind side, and said slowly: "Silly boy, how can I be fine?" β
"I'm just worried!" Xiao Linghu said honestly: "The more I think about it at the train station, the more worried I feel, so I came here just to know if you will be fine!" β
"That's it! All right! Xiao Huang wiped the water from Xiao Linghu's face again, and said bitterly: "Aren't I okay?" You should be relieved, right? β
Xiao Linghu nodded vigorously.
"Let's go! I've got a meeting here! Can't stay with you for too long! Xiao Huang urged.
"Hmm!" At this time, Xiao Linghu's mood was already much more relaxed, he returned the umbrella to the guard company commander on the side, and regardless of the surprise of everyone, he turned around and rushed into the rain quickly, running into the distance.
"Take the umbrella!" The guard company commander shouted loudly.
But Xiao Linghu didn't seem to hear it, and after a while, he disappeared into the rain and fog in the distance.
"Hey! This kid! Xiao Huang sighed softly, and he even liked Xiao Linghu indescribably.
