Wu Ting and a few people came to the county seat, the road leading to the city in the north of the city was blocked by barbed wire, and the soldiers of the national army held on day and night, except for a few military vehicles that occasionally passed, no one else was allowed to enter and exit at will. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Outside the city, along both sides of the road gathered villagers fleeing for their lives, under the searchlight of the watchtower in the north of the city, the skin was scorched, hungry, the weather in late autumn was a little cold, occasionally a cold wind hit, making people shiver, the old man held the child, the man held the woman, the woman wrapped a thick veil on her head, and kept warm by the bonfire.

Bonfires were piled one after the other, like beacons in ancient times, and at night they seemed to be arranged in an orderly manner, and from time to time the old and sick people coughed twice, or some fiery young people complained incessantly, "When the hell will I be able to enter the city!" ”

"Don't scream, come and get something to eat!" The young man's mother reminded him and handed him a thick piece of bread, and the young man bit it down, almost plucking out his teeth, which were as hard as stones, and the young man angrily threw the bread on the ground and scolded, "Is this what people eat?" ”

The young grandmother stretched out the pair of dark calloused hands from the thick cotton jacket and picked it up, gently patted off the ashes on it, roasted it on the fire, and distributed it to others, the grandmother took out a small bag of sesame candy from her clothes, gently spread it out, and blew off the gray surface covering it, white and flawless, like a carved jade, and the grandmother handed the hemp candy to the young man, "Grandson, take it and eat it!" ”

Only then did the young man show a little satisfied expression, and threw the hemp candy into his mouth, and the grandmother sat down slowly, leaning against her wife, and drew a charming smile on her vicissitudes of life.

Such scenes are repeated one after another among the villagers gathered in the north of the city, and no one can help but feel the cruelty of war.

There are also some people who are like those old people who are reluctant to leave, thinking that abandoning the land and running away is disrespectful to the ancestors and a great unfilial piety, and they keep pulling out the firewood in front of them with complaints, and they are thinking about the decline of the country with all their might.

There are also silent people, just sit quietly, nothing to say about themselves, the devil runs when he comes, he warms up when he has a fire, he fills his hunger when he has bread, in short, as long as he can live.

Wu Ting shuttled along the crowd for a while, and could still hear a few men drinking spirits and shouting, just like working in the fields and mountains, without thinking too much about it, the woman next to her hummed a ballad together, crisp and refreshing, beautiful and pleasant, like this belongs to the best attitude in my heart, there is no dispute with the world, how to live, how to live.

Zhang Ersil and Ah Feng helped Liao Changsheng to stand up, looked around, and moved his body that was recovering, and Liao Changsheng saw such a scene, his heart was conflicted, this man who used to be jumping in the mountains and forests slowly began to be soaked in feelings, what is the difference between these fleeing villagers and refugees in front of him? What's the point of living with all the faces of panic? Try to break through these questions and get a decent answer, but this question is too difficult, and the only thing you can do is continue to fight devils.

Liao Changsheng's face was pale, his lips were chapped, and he could barely greet the villagers with a smile that wasn't very good-looking.

After searching for half an hour, Wu Ting found the villagers who had withdrawn from Zoumaling, and took Liao Changsheng and a few people to join them, the eyes of the villagers flashed, as if they saw hope, and the dry food they brought was almost eaten, if they continued to suffer from cold and starvation, they might not last for two days.

The old lady of the Xiao family is in very bad physical condition, coughing in her mouth non-stop, her legs that have been suffering from rheumatism for a long time can no longer move, and she is holding a hot red stone in her hand to keep warm, although her hands have been burned and she does not look good, her will supports her to live, the old lady's temples droop very badly, her eyes suddenly opened and closed, looking distressing and uncomfortable, the old lady spent a lot of effort to say a word

"Chang ,,,,, Chang ,,, Changsheng, Su ,,,, cough cough,,, is Village Chief Su coming,,, is he coming?" asked Liao Changsheng from the depths of his heart.

Liao Changsheng slowly squatted down, smiled at the old lady's haggard face, and said, "Old lady, Village Chief Su will be here in two days, don't worry, you must take care of your body!" The people present saw the matter from Liao Changsheng's demeanor, but for the sake of the old lady's body, no one spoke, just lowered their heads and prayed silently.

When the old lady heard Su Maosheng's news, she was a little excited, "cough cough" coughed up a lot of blood, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a hideous smile, and her scorched teeth were bloodshot, and she said, "You are all good." "Slowly closed my eyes and fell asleep.

At this moment, the villagers are all looking at Wu Ting, the commissioner who is known as the party and the state, can he give us a satisfactory answer? At least not in the open-air wind.

Wu Ting actually didn't expect that the situation would develop like this, on the one hand, sympathizing with the homeless villagers here, and on the other hand, representing the party-state and not knowing how to resettle such a large-scale migration, she was helpless and even more powerless.

But there is one thing Wu Ting did very well, and before the villagers could speak, she took the initiative to say, "Everyone is wronged tonight, I will go to negotiate with the soldiers guarding the city early tomorrow morning, and let everyone enter the city early!" I have to say that this kind of soldier's responsibility is still respectable, and the villagers did not complain and gradually fell asleep.

The deeper the night, the colder the wind became, and the more painful it was, Wu Ting and Ah Feng began to curl up, Zhang Ersil and Jin Pengfei hugged Xie Chenggong like a dream, snoring, not disturbed by such a temperature at all.

Men like Zhang Ersil who come and go in the wind and rain have long been accustomed to all kinds of weather, it is no exaggeration to say that the clothes are dispensable, and the skin and flesh on the body are also evolving with the change of the weather, and the skin and flesh are thick to a certain extent.

Liao Changsheng didn't feel too cold except for the pain when some wounds healed, looking at the sparse space of the moon and stars, he didn't think about anything, just opened his eyes and stunned there.

The bonfire gradually burned out, but there were still some firewood burned into black charcoal to send out the final temperature, Wu Ting was woken up by the cold wind, turned over and saw that Liao Changsheng was not asleep, and asked, "Changsheng, what are you thinking?" ”

Liao Changsheng couldn't help but hold Wu Ting in his arms, didn't speak, Wu Ting was a little frightened, but this temperature was enough to make her have a good dream, so she pillowed on Liao Changsheng's shoulder, showed a happy smile, and slowly fell asleep.

The late autumn sun is a little lazy, and the time to illuminate the earth is much later than summer, Wu Ting quietly opened her eyelashes, looked at Liao Changsheng's gaze a little shy, and stood up, although Ah Feng woke up, she still hugged Liao Changsheng, after all, this is the man who once said in front of all the brothers that he wanted to marry him.

The villagers woke up one after another, and the military vehicles that came and went also made a "didi" sound, Wu Ting packed up her clothes and walked out to the soldiers standing guard on the road, and the villagers also followed, watching the surge of the crowd, the villagers scattered around the country also began to move closer, and the military vehicles transporting ammunition and soldiers were blocked behind the crowd.

The young man standing guard, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a spear on his shoulder, saluted the passing military vehicles, Wu Ting walked over, was stopped by this soldier, and reminded softly, "Miss, the whole city is under martial law, you can't enter and exit casually, please go back!" Then he shouted to the crowd behind him, "Everyone let go, let the military vehicles pass first!" ”

No one paid attention, but the surge of the crowd became more and more uncontrollable, Wu Ting took out her military ID card from her chest and handed it to the young soldier, and the soldier opened the document "Wu Ting, the 42nd Army of the National Army sent a special commissioner from Chuandong"

After reading it, the soldier saluted and said, "Sir, please come in!" At this time, the masses behind him are not convinced, why can the officials go in, but the people can't enter? The shouting and scolding were overwhelming.

Wu Ting asked, "What the hell is going on, why don't you let them into the city?" ”

"This subordinate doesn't know, the subordinate is ordered to guard here, and for the rest, you have to ask the chief"

Wu Ting didn't get any news from this young soldier, so she had to turn around and calm the crowd first, and said, "Folks, everyone be quiet, I'll go in and discuss with the local government and the commander who is deployed here, everyone, please believe me, I will let everyone enter the city as soon as possible!" ”

After listening to this, the crowd was comforted a little and calmed down, and Liao Changsheng drilled out of the crowd, "Let's disperse first, I, Liao Changsheng, promise everyone that I will definitely take you into the city!" ”

Many people in the crowd had heard about Liao Changsheng's deeds, and after admiring and appreciating, they believed Liao Changsheng, and began to disperse, and the military vehicles that were blocked behind them slowly passed.

Wu Ting smiled at Liao Changsheng and asked, "You go in with me and go to the hospital in the city to recuperate." ”

"I'm fine, you can bring Xie Chenggong in, this kid is still young, I can't let him suffer with me!" Xie Chenggong looked at Liao Changsheng with ignorant eyes, Liao Changsheng waved his hand, and then followed Wu Ting into the city.
