I lay in the corner of the barn, listening to the voices of the people outside from noise to quiet, from quiet to noise, and the day and night had passed.

When it was almost dawn, the guys came again, and the guy in the green shirt came up to me and kicked me: "You fuck! It's hard for the grandfathers, and the grandfathers have to give you some color! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, several other people rushed up like wolves, and they punched and kicked again. This time I was beaten because my hands and feet were tied, and I couldn't protect my head and face, and the disaster on my face was much worse than the last time.

The guy in the green shirt scolded: "Let you have a long memory, this is the end of meddlesomeness!" If someone hadn't spared your dog's life, Lao Tzu would have sent you on his way now! ”

When I had finished cleaning up, they began to work and moved all the wooden boxes out of the barn, and for about an hour or so they were busy, and everything except the Mauser pistol that had been thrown on the floor was gone.

I listened to the sound of the barn locking, then the footsteps of the men fading away, and finally nothing else.

In the sweltering barnroom, my whole body ached, and some of the wounds were soaked with sweat, doubling the stinging pain. What's worse is hunger and thirst, hunger is finally bearable, thirst is the worst.

I was gagged with rags and couldn't even lick some sweat, and I felt like I could die of dehydration at any moment in the heat of the season.

When I was discovered, it was already the morning of the third day, and the landlord of the shop found me covered in bruises and dying when he came to visit the store with new tenants.

The silk shop had long since been empty, and there was nothing left except for a mess of clutter, and even the bulky Taishi chair had been removed.

According to the landlord, the shop was rented to this silk shop a year ago, and the landlord happened to pass by in the past two days only to find that the door of the store was locked, and the door was pasted with large letters of closure, so he knew that the tenant had left without saying hello. In other words, if the landlord came two days late, I would really die in this barn due to dehydration and starvation.

I'm lying in my rat hole right now, and Ani is rubbing a bruising potional on my face, and the potion touches the broken skin, stinging me and inhaling cool air.

Ani stopped: "Brother An, you bear with it, I can't do it if you do this." ”

I motioned for her to continue: "It's okay, no matter how serious the injury is, I can survive it, not to mention this flesh injury." ”

Ani: "You men just like to be good men, and when I first carried you back, I couldn't recognize you, your face was swollen like Zhu Bajie." ”

"Slap a swollen face and become fat, that's me." I said with self-deprecation.

Shangguan Yusi walked in with a medicine box: "Ani, what did you wipe for Camp Commander An?" ”

Ani hurriedly said: "This is the bone-setting medicine wine that our Miao family has configured themselves, and it is very useful." ”

Shangguan Yusi took the medicine bottle and sniffed it: "I have heard that Miao medicine has its own wonders, it seems that what I said is true......

Ani was very proud and said to me, "Hear it, the doctors of Shangguan said that my medicinal wine is very useful." ”

I asked Shangguan Yusi: "Doctor Shangguan, do you know that the people who attacked me have been found?" ”

Shangguan Yusi shook his head: "I heard the regiment commander say, now I only know that those people are transported by military vehicles, and it is not clear where they are transported." ”

Me: "Which unit is the military vehicle from?" ”

Shangguan Yusi: "This is even more difficult to investigate, there are dozens of troops and hundreds of military vehicles on the entire east coast, and it is too difficult to investigate." ”

I said indignantly, "It seems that these guys really have hands and eyes...... Ani, I asked you to follow that Adjutant Lin at the time, where did he end up? ”

Ani tilted her head and thought for a while: "He went to Xicai Market Street, the westernmost courtyard, there is a guard at the door, and I can't enter." ”

Shangguan Yu thought for a while: "On the westernmost side of the Western Vegetable Street, there is a courtyard for standing guard...... If I'm not mistaken, that place should be the mansion of the county magistrate of Linmeng! ”

Me: "It's easy to find the temple gate, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to catch the thief monk!" I'm going to settle accounts with this grandson! ”

As I got out of bed, I complained to Ani: "You don't say anything about such an important matter, you don't even ask you, you are really calm." ”

Ani: "I'm worried that you know the place and you're going to go right away, and you're so badly injured, why don't you run around now." ”

Shangguan Yusi said: "Camp Commander An's injury is not a big deal, and the treatment and recuperation in the past two days are also very effective......

I was beaten up twice, and the anger in my heart was really difficult to calm down, and when I heard Shangguan Yusi say that my injury was fine, I was even more eager to get back a game.

I took a dozen Qiu Ba and went straight to Linmeng out of the barracks, but before I reached the gate of Linmeng City, I saw Wang Tingyue's Willis jeep driving over from a distance.

Wang Tingyue said to me with a smile as if he hadn't seen the menacing formation of dozens of us, "I was about to discuss some things with Major An, but I didn't expect to meet Major An here, come on, get in the car, and go to your regimental headquarters with me." ”

I wanted to find someone else's bad luck, but the military order still had to be obeyed, I got into the car, and a group of Qiu Ba who followed me out had no choice but to follow behind the car.

Hearing someone's report, Huang Wenlie had already greeted him out of the command post, he first saluted Wang Tingyue, and then said to me coldly: "I just heard that my battalion commander is actually holding a stick and a sharp blade, and he is going to fight with a few gangsters!" I really don't know if the rumors are wrong, or if it's true! ”

Wang Tingyue got out of the car and smiled: "Naturally, the rumors are wrong." Those who believe will listen, but they will not be believed. ”

When he arrived at the regiment headquarters command post, Wang Tingyue was really like he was in his own home, and he knew better than Huang Wenlie where to put something. He took out the tea leaves from the drawer, found the kettle, and made a gesture to go out to fetch water.

Huang Wenlie kicked the herald next to him: "Do you still have to wait for Commissioner Wang to make tea for you!" ”

The herald who woke up like a dream hurriedly snatched the kettle in Wang Tingyue's hand: "Commissioner Wang, this can't be helped, you put it down quickly, I'll come, I'll come." ”

Wang Tingyue gave the kettle to the herald and smiled: "This is nothing, how can there be so much attention to the people of the army." ”

Huang Wenlie looked at my blue nose and swollen face: "I often thought that you were the officer under me who took the overall situation into account, but recently you have always been able to do things to overturn my judgment of you." Battalion Commander An, can you tell me whether it is important for an officer to lead troops to fight a war, or whether it is important to catch any smuggling! ”

Me: "Tuanza, this is a long story, but I assure you that what I have done is absolutely worthy of my conscience!" ”
