With a "squeak", the door of Uncle Ban's house opened, and the door of Aunt Guo's house also opened, and one after another, the doors of the villagers' homes were opened, and the villagers walked out of their homes and welcomed the People's Liberation Army into their homes.

It is not that the villagers trust the PLA based on Zhang Shibao's two sentences, but that the villagers' observation of the PLA from last night to the present makes them feel that the PLA is a disciplined team that does not disturb the people. In order not to disturb the villagers, this team would rather sleep in the barren mountains and mountains; In order not to infringe on the people, after they entered the village, they did not forcibly break into the houses like the mountain bandits. With these two points alone, the villagers have seen a different team than they used to trap the common people, and at least for now, this team feels that it is not hostile and safe for them.

The troops soon entered the homes of the villagers, chatted with them, helped them with farm work, carried water for them, and cleaned up. There were more and more common words between the army and the people, and the hearts were getting closer and closer, and it didn't take long for every corner of the village to be filled with laughter.

Zheng Lei and Yumei live in the house of the old woman and the old grandfather. Zheng Lei helped bring a load of water, and Yumei was busy cleaning, and she was very happy.

"Sister! Brothers! Take a break! Drink saliva! The old man brought boiling water and handed it to the two, watched them drink, nodded his head constantly, and said a few good words in a row: "I never thought that I had lived for nearly 80 years, and it was the first time I met the troops who worked for the people, not robbing, not taking, and not bullying the people, I thought, it must be the Bodhisattva who sent you to save the suffering of our people, the 'Bodhisattva soldiers', am I right?" ”

"Father-in-law, you're right! The People's Liberation Army (PLA) is to serve the people, so to speak, to be a 'bodhisattva soldier' who rescues the suffering and rescues the suffering. However, my father-in-law said that it was sent by the Bodhisattva, and it is a myth that it is not the Bodhisattva who really lives in the world, but that we have a great leader, named Chairman Mao, who sent us, and he is the 'red sun' in the hearts of our people. Speaking of Chairman Mao, Yumei had a look of reverence.

"Chairman Mao? A person who is more powerful and better than a bodhisattva? "The old man doesn't believe in his ears, is there such a great man in the world who fights the world for the people?

"Yes! Some! There really is! The Bodhisattva is a god, in heaven, it is offered by the people, and what lives in the world, can hear, see, and feel is our great leader Chairman Mao, who seeks happiness for the people, and our People's Liberation Army is sent by him to exterminate the bandits for the people, so that the people will no longer be harmed by the bandits. ”

"Oh, that's good, we people will have a good life in the future."

"That's right! My father-in-law was right! In the future, the lives of our people will get better day by day. Zheng Lei poured the water he had brought into the water tank.

"Just talking about it, I forgot to cook some porridge for you to eat, I'll take the rice carving." The old woman blurted out that she no longer regarded Zheng Lei and Yumei as outsiders at this time, and felt closer than her relatives.

"Old woman! Didn't you hide the rice, and you still found it? This old woman is really, she thinks everyone is a bad person. The old man complained, "Can you find it?" Do you want my old man to help you get it? ”

"Old man! How many are there in the family? Which one has not been found? ”

Zheng Lei hurriedly stepped forward to help the old woman and took out a bag of grain from under the bed. The old woman said self-deprecatingly, "Is there a ghost hidden? It's just hiding this open, those bandits can still find it, this home, it's so big, which one to hide it in? ”

The old woman said embarrassedly to Zheng Lei and Yumei: "I know that you are good people, which of my old woman has carved it?" ”

Yumei smiled and comforted the old woman: "Who knows that the People's Liberation Army is a good person?" It made the old woman and grandfather laugh happily.

Here the military and the people are like a family, but in another village it is a different atmosphere.

Shangshan Village is located in a higher place in the hinterland of Basho Lane, surrounded by banana forests. There are hundreds of families in the village, and this area is a large village. In the middle of the village, on higher ground, there is a brick courtyard. The grandeur of the courtyard is very different from the low earthen walls, earthen houses, and wooden and bamboo walled buildings around it, and the wealth is very different. Two majestic stone lions outside the vermilion gate highlight the family's illustrious family background.

This hereditary family is the Qin Jiang family, known as the "master of the Gui family". Qin Jiang's home is, of course, the richest and most powerful family in Basho Lane. The three brothers of the Qin family, all studied outside, the eldest Qin Gui stayed at home to keep his business, Qin Jiang studied in Guilin in his early years, and then followed the Gui warlords to go south and north to fight the world, has been serving as a staff member, civilian work, accumulated a lot of knowledge and contacts, the third Qin San since he went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to study, has never returned to Basho Lane, no matter how prominent their family is in this area, after all, it is a poor country, not worthy of Qin San's slightest nostalgia.

Walking into the gate guarded by the guards, passing through the compound, and entering the hall where the guards are waiting at the door, on a carved dragon and phoenix, antique Taishi chair, lying down Qin Jiang wearing a squire's costume. Qin Jiang was holding a small cigarette gun in his mouth and was smoking a cigarette. This small smoking gun is very exquisite, the cigarette holder is made of white jade, the cigarette holder made of old phoenix bamboo is yellow and shiny, carved with dragon and tiger patterns, the cigarette butt copper head silver cap, and a small silver cigarette bottle hanging near the cigarette butt, such a delicate small smoking gun, of course, is not just for smoking a few puffs of cigarettes, but for thinking about problems while playing, it can be seen that Qin Jiang is a person who has very high requirements for things and is very thoughtful.

There are three women by Qin Jiang's side. Standing is the eldest wife Liang Rong, on the left is his second wife He Langu, who is sitting to help Qin Jiang beat his legs, and on the right is sitting with a silver hairpin in his hand, picking up cigarette butts for Qin Jiang, and adding tobacco is the third wife Huang Cuiying.

On the side of the entrance of the lobby, there is a pair of black Buyun boots, tight black cloth pants, a practice belt tied around the waist, a shell gun pinned to the back, and an unbuttoned **** training uniform on the upper body. He is the captain of the guard of Qin Jiang, called Qin Daring, a native of the local, on the rivers and lakes, known as "flying on the grass".

In the lobby, standing from time to time, and moving around from time to time was Qin Jiang's adjutant Feng Yuanqing. This person is burly, wearing a **** military uniform, handsome, and a native of Shenyang, Northeast China.

Qin Jiang is elegant and scheming; Adjutant Feng Yuanqing looks like an orthodox soldier and has a bold personality; The captain of the guard, Qin is bold, spirited and ghostly, and has a little bit of the spirit of a soldier in his gangsterism. As the saying goes: people and groups are separated, and things are gathered by like. An old treacherous and cunning, a ghostly and spirited, and a bold and straightforward, these three people with unrelated personalities and physical appearances are under the same roof, do you feel a little strange? In fact, the three of them can get together because of their fate, and it is also the result of their mutual use and mutual dependence.

As early as the early days of the Liberation War, Qin Jiang already knew Feng Yuanqing, who served in Bai Chongxi's department, and later, Feng Yuanqing came to Guangxi with Bai Chongxi's defeat and retreat, and after being broken up by the People's Liberation Army, he fled to the 48th Lane Chen Cishan Department as a bandit.

Feng Yuanqing understands that Qin Jiang is a scheming person, and it is better to mix with him than with people he is not familiar with, at least he has been friends for many years, Qin Jiang will not "sell" him, and Qin Jiang also needs a person who knows how to lead troops to fight and take care of military affairs for him, the two hit it off, and with the name of "Master Gui" and the post of Lieutenant General of Guizhong Military and Political Region, Feng Yuanqing was taken under his command and became his personal adjutant.
