The huge team of eleven elephants attracted the children in the village. Braving the rain and barefoot, they rushed out of the wooden houses on stilts. Adults and children stepped on the dirty muddy water, surrounded the team, and watched the arrival of this team of elephants with curious eyes one by one.

"Welcome, according to your request, we have cleaned the wooden house of the fleeing family...... a middle-aged woman wearing a hat and a cloak on her body, barefoot and wearing a stilted wooden house, walked out of the wooden house on stilts and greeted her. She took her two daughters, one older and one younger, both wearing big hats, and bowed to Lingyu while speaking in mountain Khmer in a loud voice.

The liaison officer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China, who accompanied him, placed everyone in two dilapidated wooden houses on stilts, and his task was completed. After handing over the article to Loya, he returned to Siam in the rain.

Suddenly, there was a scream of "wow", followed by a familiar cry from the back of the line.

It turned out that the woman who had rescued her at the border plunged down from the elephant and was caught by Liu Guodong. When the little girl saw her mother fall, she was frightened and cried in the basket on which she sat on the elephant.

Lin Tao went over to check, this woman in her forties and fifties was hungry, she was extremely weak and fainted. "Smack!" He blushed, didn't say a word, raised his hand and gave Liu Guodong a big slap. Then he picked up the little girl on the back of the elephant......

Loya settled the crowd, and with a dozen women with him, he surrounded all the elephants in the rain into a tall fence and put them on the hay. The simple fence was newly built by Luo Ya and the women, and it did not shelter from the rain or the wind.

After settling down, everyone cleaned up briefly, and Lingyu gave a brief introduction to the situation in the small village.

Of the dozens of wooden houses in Pag village, only 21 are inhabited by families, and more than half of the village's families have fled to Siam and entered refugee camps. These people go to empty stilted wooden huts, and they are now coming in handy.

Ivanov commanded a squad of his island guards, braved the rain to build improvised fences with bamboo around the village, giving them the appearance of a camp, and then set up a cordon around the camp. Two observation and guard posts were also sent to the hill on the edge of the basin to the east.

Luo Ya's two daughters, Niu Rao and Xiao Niu'er, lit the fire pit in the center of the wooden house and boiled the water. Xiao Niu'er also brought a bamboo tube of water, and respectfully invited Lingyu to the inner room to clean the mud on his body. By the time she came out in clean clothes, everyone in the team had a new look.

Xiao Budian, who was still crying outside just now, was also wiped clean by Xiao Niu'er, wearing a yellow military shirt that was dragged to the ground, and squatting by the fire with Liu Guodong trembling.

The women who were rescued by Liu Guodong had been scrubbed clean by Niu Rao, changed into a military uniform, and lay quietly on the straw mat on the side. She had woken up, Li Haichao gave her a pulse, and fed her a little water, she was a little stronger, so she struggled to sit up.

Actually, this is a young woman in her thirties. The thick ash on her face had been washed away, revealing a vegetable-yellow face with yellow muscles and thin muscles. The team members all gathered around to look at her, she lowered her head shyly, hugged the little girl who rubbed beside her, and the mother and daughter kowtowed to everyone to thank her. spoke fluent Hakka Mandarin, but frightened everyone.

"Thank you, fellow relatives in my hometown! You are our saviors! ”

"They are overseas Chinese ......," said Liu Guodong, "and their family used to do a fishing business in Pheasant City, but later fled to Kemala Puming City, and the mother and daughter were left in a family of more than a dozen people, and they lived in a village next to Taolai Town before fleeing the famine......

"I'm really sorry, I know I'm going to cause you a lot of trouble...... But only by following you can Xiao Xiangyue survive. There are four sisters, and there is only this one left...... "The woman's surname is Huang, and she has a very nice name, called Huang Jinxiu. She touched Xiao Xiangyue's little face and muttered.

After the team left, the woman put her arms around her daughter and quietly watched the team leave. Looking at their crumbling figures in the wind and rain, Liu Guodong couldn't bear to look at it anymore, gritted his teeth and turned his head. Suddenly, the Island Guard soldier sitting on the last elephant pushed Liu Guodong, he looked back, and saw that in the distance, the woman holding her daughter, followed the elephant team, and had already walked to the border outpost, which was blocked by the Cambodian soldiers.

Liu Guodong rode the elephant back again, and the little girl broke free from her mother's hand and rushed to the elephant happily. Liu Guodong picked her up and walked to the sentry ......post of Minkhamp......

"Smack!"

The sentry was knocked to the ground by a punch, and after a few big heels in the muddy water, he struggled for a while, got up and pointed a gun at Liu Guodong. The elephant's Island Guard soldiers also pointed their guns at the sentries. The four or five Khmer soldiers in the checkpoint all looked indifferently at Yiqiē outside, and did not move.

"Give her back the raincoat!" Liu Guodong hugged the girl and looked at the sentry condescendingly. After only a few moments of confrontation, the sentry became discouraged and took off his raincoat and returned it to the woman......

Everyone's mood is very depressed, and Annan, like all other countries in the Indochina Peninsula, will bear the brunt of the humiliation as long as they oppose China. Overseas Chinese have always been diligent, and the wealth they have accumulated for many years has also been robbed...... No one blames Liu Guodong anymore, because whoever is replaced as a guard will also take in the mother and daughter.

When you are in Siam, the temperature is high during the day, and as soon as the rain stops, it will be dusty for a while. From time to time, you can see the corpses of rotten people or animals, insects bite mosquitoes and flies, and the people riding on elephants have long become mud figures. In particular, the rain and sweat are soaked alternately, and everyone smells unstoppable.

At this time, the wind was howling, and lightning and thunder were roaring. The rainstorm came again, and it was like a torrent.

"What the is this weather!"

I don't know who scolded, everyone stood on the platform in front of the door of the second floor of the wooden house wearing only small pants, and took a happy bath in the heavy rain, and the smell of sweat, shame and feet went away with the flowing water. Liu Guodong was greedy, and he stood up to go to the rain bath, but the little girl stood up in a panic and staggered to follow.

Xiao Niu'er hugged Xiangyue's small body in her arms, kissed her and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, he won't go......" Xiao Budian quieted down.

"You're not cold? Roll in and be protected from lightning strikes...... Listen to the order to wear warm clothes, but you are not allowed to catch a cold! Lingyu came out of the room, saw them in a crazy rain bath, and hurriedly stopped them.

Niu Rao looked at several strong bodies in the rain, with a smile on her face, but said enviously, "What a group of beasts, stronger than cows, God!" Sister Lingyu, they are so strong, it doesn't matter, my mother has already boiled wild ginger soup......" Seeing Niu Rao staring at the team members in the rain stupidly, Xiao Niu'er asked deliberately.

"Smack!"

Niu Rao seemed to have been spied on by someone, and quietly slapped her sister twice. The rest didn't care, Yu Songyuan saw this scene clearly. It's only natural for my sister to beat my sister, the aborigines are so barbaric! Seeing Xiao Niu'er's commonplace appearance, he shook his head inexplicably.

Although the Loya family is also yellow and hungry, they are much better than those refugees.

Their family all worked for Lingyu. After the team cleaned up, Lingyu took out two sets of green uniforms and asked the sisters to change into them. Luo Ya's two daughters, although barefoot and wearing tattered clothes, could not hide a trace of their youthful nature. At this moment, they changed into new military uniforms and put on rubber shoes, and the sisters were as happy as two little swallows.

Lingyu introduced Niu Rao and Xiao Niu'er to everyone, it turned out that this youthful girl was Luo Ya's second daughter, who was responsible for taking care of the team's daily life, and to put it bluntly, she was a housekeeper. The petite and delicate little button is Luo Ya's third daughter, who is responsible for taking care of Lingyu's life, in fact, she is the role of a correspondent and a service soldier.

Sure enough, the dirty clothes that the team had changed, Button Wrap and Little Button, collected them, and handed them to the two women outside the building to wash.

After a while, Luo Ya brought a girl in the rain with two small pots of ginger soup and a pot of porridge. Lingyu led everyone and drank a big bowl of one person. "Soldiers of the Guards, the big bear forced one person to drink a big bowl too, and it won't catch a cold...... "Luo Ya reported to Lingyu.

After drinking the ginger soup, one person drank a big bowl of gruel, which was considered lunch. Especially the mother and daughter, after drinking a big bowl of porridge, their faces began to feel a little refreshed.

Ivanov was nearly two meters long and weighed more than 250 pounds. Lacking men, Loya and the women looked at this tower-like man with envy and greed, eager and afraid of this tall "big bear".

In the dense forest on the mountain at the edge of the village, one or two dull gunshots rang out from time to time. Loya and the villagers paid no attention to the gunfire, this is a guerrilla zone. The inter-mountain basin where Pag is located is only a small hill. The town of Taola, more than ten kilometers away on the other side of the mountain, is the stronghold of Annam.

Lingyu, Li Haichao, Yu Songyuan and others are already worried at the moment. Because, the team that has just settled down has fallen into an existential crisis. The crisis is not the sound of gunfire in the mountains, but the lack of food and the sanitation of the filthy villages.

On the way here, the team gave all the glutinous rice balls to the refugees. After entering Pag, the villagers had already run out of cooking, so they had to give most of the rice they had brought to 21 families. In order to create a foothold for the team to implement the strategy of "pushing the boat down the river", Lingyu entered this small mountain village in the hinterland of Songgo Mountain several times. If it weren't for her and Yang Mingtao, most of the families in Pag Village would have fled to Siam as refugees long ago......

Of course, the Loya family will not be refugees, her son-in-law is a businessman, and he is also the mayor of Taorat, the "fortress town" of Annam. Xiao Niu'er's eldest sister Peng Ti is a strong woman who has a "close relationship" with the 319B Regiment of the 722B Division stationed in Minh Lak. Peng Ti is a filial son, from time to time to help the women of her mother's nest, although she can't eat enough, but she won't starve to death.

Songge Mountain is high and densely forested, but it is a poor mountain and an empty mountain. Edible plants and animals, including edible leaves, tender bark, and earthworms and other flesh insects and insects that can be found, are almost all eaten. Ekan, the central base of several dozen kilometers away, is completely dependent on foreign aid from China, Siam and other countries, and cannot be expected at all.

Eleven elephants, camels with arms, equipment, personnel and a little food when they came, dozens of people in the village, 21 people from the island guard and brothers' team, and rescued overseas Chinese mothers and daughters on the way, the crisis of food shortage is not a trivial matter.
