Chapter 440: The Army and the People Are Like Fire and Water

Alive, what a simple question!

In the eyes of future generations, even if you don't do anything, you can survive begging on the street, but in this era, in this troubled era, wanting to live has become a luxury for these poor people!

Yes, being alive is a luxury!

In such a situation, for the people who live by farming all their lives, it is an unattainable dream!

None of them knew that they would live to see the tomorrow they would see!

I can't tell if I sleep today, and I won't be able to get up again!

Whenever there is a war, there must be starvation all over the place within the scope of the battle, and the bones are deep all the way, and countless young people are forcibly recruited to fight in the war, but they will never come back!

The land of the Central Plains is ten rooms and nine empty, and countless villages have become ghosts, thousands of miles of fertile fields, but no one cultivates them......

The abandonment of arable land has exacerbated the spread of famine, which has led to more and more people dying of starvation...... This is an unsolvable answer!

As long as the war is not stopped, this natural disaster** will continue one after another!

If they want to live, it will be more difficult!

Chen Qingzhi's eyes showed a confused look, looking at these villagers who were squatting on the ground with a frightened face, Chen Qingzhi didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time, his mood was very complicated, and he wanted to comfort one or two, but the old man's words kept echoing in his ears, making him want to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth!

As long as the war is not ended, as long as the country has not settled down, as long as the little devil has not been driven away, what qualifications does he have to say that he can survive?

Be safe and survive...... The meaning of these two words is that even Chen Qingzhi doesn't know if he can do it, let alone comfort others?

As a soldier, he will stand up in every war, and in this troubled world, he may die in battle at some point, so what's the use of making some promises?

Seeing the old man trembling and comforting the villagers, and taking them back to their homes, Chen Qingzhi stood in place and muttered: "In this troubled world, where is a real haven!" ”

"Traveler, Traveler ......"

I don't know how long it took, but a voice suddenly sounded in my ears, Chen Qingzhi woke up from his confusion and saw that it was Fang Xiaodong standing in front of him, and those villagers didn't know when they had dispersed and returned to their homes.

Smoke also rose from the village.

Even if the war is rampant, you have to live your life!

Even if you don't know whether tomorrow will be dead or alive, you must work hard to live today well!

For these ordinary people, they have long been accustomed to the military disasters and bandits that come to fight the autumn wind from time to time!

Although they were still scared and timid every time they arrived, when they were gone, they were able to comfort themselves and let themselves go on with their lives!

But...... Such a scene is a great irony for Chen Qingzhi!

The more relieved the people are, the more they are accustomed to it, and the more heartache Chen Qingzhi feels!

sighed, looked at Fang Xiaodong and said, "I was thinking about something just now, what's wrong?" ”

"Traveler, you've finally come to your senses! The folks have all been settled, do you think we are going to leave now, or are we going to rest here and wait for tomorrow morning? Fang Xiaodong said.

It was already afternoon, and the sun was setting in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun was staining the earth with a dark red like blood.

Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi said, "Let's go now!" I won't stay here overnight, and I can rest assured that I will return to Xuzhou early! What's more, if we stay here, the villagers here will also feel a little uneasy! ”

Speaking of this, Chen Qingzhi couldn't help but sigh again.

The army and the people are one, but now the army is bullying the people, and the people are afraid of the army.

After hearing Chen Qingzhi's words, Fang Xiaodong nodded, and then called on the soldiers to gather and prepare to leave.

The troops were quickly assembled, and then the team of more than 300 people set out on the journey again, and after they left, the villagers who had been staying in their own homes dared to come out and gather at the entrance of the village, watching from a distance as this team of only a few hundred people gradually left here.

All the villagers watched silently, and even some villagers had a smile on their faces, as if they were relieved that they were leaving.

"This guy is gone!"

"Yes! They scared the hell out of me when they were here! ”

"I thought they were also going to grab food like the group of Qiu Ba in front, but it's strange that they left without taking food!"

"Whatever, as long as we're okay! This group of Qiu Ba is their own dog-eat-dog! ”

"That's right!"

A group of villagers were there talking, rejoicing at the departure of the Independence Brigade.

Although Chen Qingzhi saved their lives and helped them kill this group of routs, the villagers did not appreciate it.

They will not change their opinion of the army because of this rescue, because the place where the troops oppressed them in the past has left too deep an impression on them, so that they will not be able to change their minds quickly.

In their opinion, Chen Qingzhi's troops killed this group of people, but it was just their own internal strife! It's them dog-eat-dog!

As for the deliberate rescue of you? They don't believe any army would do that!

Listening to these villagers talking here, the old man on crutches at the head couldn't help but sigh, he looked at the small number of troops that gradually disappeared at the end, and there was a very complicated look in his eyes.

He is a villager who was also admitted to Xiucai's attack when he was young, and he has some insight.

He could see that this unit was different from the others! The routs who fled from the battlefield were all deserters, all of them were some ruffians, and when they fled, they all looked panicked and their faces were terrified.

And although this unit saw that their equipment and clothes were also in tatters, they did not panic at all, but were in good order, and they moved very quickly between the orders, which can be seen from this that this is an extremely disciplined army!

How could such a unit be deserters?

The only answer is that they are really troops withdrawn from the battlefield!

When the commander of this unit was giving a lecture at the entrance of the village just now, he also heard it clearly, a brigade of more than 8,000 people, fought a bloody battle with the Japanese army for nine days and nights, and fought until there were only so few people left!

What does this mean? This shows that this unit is a unit that really dares to fight with the little devils! They are a force that really fights for the country!

To say that this force rushed to the rescue because it heard the movement, Thaksin!

If nothing else, just because this army can fight with the little devil for nine days and nights, the spirit of not retreating is enough to make him believe!
