Soldier?!

The senior man was stunned, how could Ah Ling suddenly think of becoming a soldier?

Now in these chaotic years, it is not easy to survive, and who wants to be a soldier unless it is absolutely necessary?

The murderous Japanese, the Japanese puppet traitors, the Kuomintang, the National Salvation Army, the Taihu guerrillas of the New Fourth Army, or the elusive water bandits and robbers in Taihu Lake...... Being a soldier is undoubtedly the worst option, nine deaths and one life! Especially the eggs of recruits, who are basically cannon fodder to death. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Being a soldier? How did a good person think of becoming a soldier? Don't worry, Uncle Gao can support you, there is no need to join the army for a few military salaries! Now in these years, it is better to farm at home safely! The senior man persuaded.

"Uncle Gao, I'm not here to have a full stomach, let alone a military salary." Ah Ling said resolutely: "I just want to be a soldier!" ”

The senior man knew Ah Ling's stubborn temper, and what Ah Ling had already decided, the three cows couldn't pull it back. Knowing that he couldn't persuade him, he sighed and said, "Since you have decided yourself, it is useless for Uncle Gao to persuade you!" All right...... It's not far to go to the countryside, I'll help you pack it up and give you a ride! ”

"Country? What do you do in the countryside? Ah Ling was very puzzled, looked at the senior man and said.

"Where can you go if you don't go to the countryside? Coincidentally, the National Army is recruiting soldiers in the township these days, since you want to be a soldier, I will send you there early tomorrow morning! The senior man said.

Ah Ling shook his head like a rattle, and said categorically: "Uncle Gao, you are mistaken, I don't want to join the national army!" ”

"What? You don't join the National Army?! The senior man jumped up, looked around nervously, and then lowered his voice and said: "The national army is an orthodox army, if you don't join the Kuomintang army, do you still want to be a puppet army of Japanese devils?" Ah Ling, Uncle Gao can promise you everything else, there is only one thing, you must not be a traitor or a traitor! ”

Ah Ling hurriedly said: "Uncle Gao, don't worry, I, Zhu Aling, swear in the name of my ancestors that I will never be a traitor, let alone a lackey of the Japanese devils, and work for the devils!" ”

"That's good, that's good!" Gao Sannan breathed a sigh of relief, but there were a few wisps of confusion in his heart, and asked: "If you don't join the orthodox national army, and you are not a puppet army of devils, then which soldier should you be?" Don't...... Do you want to ......"

Ah Ling nodded and replied seriously: "Yes, I just want to join the New Fourth Army!" ”

Before Ah Ling could finish speaking, the senior man hurriedly stepped forward, blocked Ah Ling's mouth with a thick calloused palm unique to farmers, and whispered vigilantly: "Ah Ling, don't talk nonsense!" Whether it is the Kuomintang or the Japanese, they are all arresting the New Fourth Army! In particular, the Taihu guerrillas in this area of Taihu Lake are a thorn in the side of the Japanese and a thorn in the flesh, if you let the devils know that you are going to join the New Fourth Army, you must be arrested and imprisoned! ”

The senior man turned his head to Fugen and said: "Fugen, these words that Ah Ling said, except for himself, only God knows, you know and I know, you must not confide half a word to the fourth person!" ”

"Old Gao, don't you know what I'm doing? Rest assured, my mouth is so tight that even if I pry my teeth off, I will never jump half a fart out of my mouth!! Fugan patted his chest and said.

"Uncle Gao, Uncle Fugen, thank you! I know that you are all doing this for my own good, but I have already made up my mind that I must join the New Fourth Army and join the Taihu Guerrillas! Ah Ling said resolutely: "There are some things you don't understand, but one day you will understand!" In a word...... I must be on this team! ”

Gao Sannan and Fugen glanced at each other, and they both felt the difference, especially Gao Sannan, who felt that Ah Ling had changed a lot since he drowned in Taihu Lake!

In the past, Ah Ling was a troublemaker, stealing chickens and kicking dogs, peeking at widows taking baths, and was an out-and-out little bastard, but at this moment, Ah Ling gave people a sense of wisdom and maturity, as if Ah Ling had grown up overnight, sensible, and had his own opinions!

The senior man sighed and said, "Come on, since you have already paid attention to yourself, let's go!" As long as...... As long as you don't regret it in the future! ”

"No regrets!"

A hint of determination flashed in Ah Ling's dark eyes.

"I heard...... Xue Ronghui and Commander Xue of the guerrillas, have been active in the area of Tong'an Bridge recently, and you have been looking for it all the way along the embankment of Taihu Lake. Gao Sannan said: "However, Commander Xue Shenlong saw the head and the tail, even the murderous and cunning devils and their dog-legged puppet army went down to Taihu Lake three or four times to encircle and suppress, and they didn't even touch a single hair of Commander Xue, I'm afraid it's not so easy for you to find him." You bring dry food and money to look for it along Taihu Lake, if you can't find it, you will die, and when you come back, you will follow Uncle Gao to plant crops with peace of mind! ”

"Okay! Uncle Gao, I promise you! If you can't find the Taihu guerrillas and can't find the trace of Commander Xue, then I will come back to help you plant rice and scatter ashes in the pig's nest! ”

Ah Ling agreed with a smile, his face suddenly straightened, snapped, and knelt down in front of the senior man.

"Uncle Gao, you have been taking care of me all these years, closer than my own father! One day, Ah Ling Fei is prosperous, and he will definitely take you and Uncle Fugen and all the villagers to enjoy happiness together! Ah Ling kowtowed and said.

"Silly boy, what are you doing, get up!" The senior man hurriedly stepped forward to help Ah Ling up, his eyes were already full of tears, and he choked up and said: "The New Fourth Army and the guerrillas are all good!" If you can really meet Commander Xue here, you must do a good job, kill a few more devils, and vent your evil anger for the villagers! ”

"Uncle Gao, don't worry!" Ah Ling gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely not embarrass you and the villagers!" ”

Ah Ling looked at the vast Taihu Lake not far away, his heart moved, and he said in a deep voice: "The clouds of Taihu Lake shine on my hometown, and the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass from afar. Yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and the widows will not be returned if they are not destroyed! ”

"Oh, our Ah Ling is amazing now, and he can recite poetry!" Fogen smirked in surprise.

Ah Ling himself was also stunned, and then said a little shyly: "Hehe...... I also listened to what the 'Mangboat Man' who fished in Taihu Lake said, so I memorized it after reading it a few times, and I didn't know what it meant, so Uncle Gao and Uncle Fugen laughed at it. ”

The two went into the house again and conspired for a while, and said a few thoughtful words, and the senior man prepared some dry food for Ah Ling, and told Ah Ling to be careful, and if he couldn't find the guerrillas, he would hurry home.

Ah Ling knelt down and kowtowed again, said goodbye to the senior man with tears, and bowed to Fugen again, then put on his back, took advantage of the sunset and red sun on the horizon, secretly left the village, and walked along the overgrown and reed-covered Taihu Lake, towards the south.
