Xu Laogen opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, but seeing that Gao Quan's tone seemed to be very resolute, he didn't dare to directly refute the chief's face, and in desperation, he hesitated and agreed. In fact, it is the same whether he agrees or not. At present, in order to replenish the soldiers who are urgently needed at the front, many units have adopted the situation of conscription of strong men, and both governments at all levels and the Central Military Commission have acquiesced in this. A lieutenant general like Gao Quan, if he wants anyone to join his troops, that person has no possibility of refusing, even if he is the son of the county magistrate!

Xu Lao has a happy family of four, his daughter is called Hu Changqing who is a scourge and does not know whether he is alive or dead, and his son goes to the 72nd Army to join the army to fight devils is also unknown life and death, and now there are two old people left in the family, Gao Quan recruited the only man in the family into the 500th Army, and the remaining sister-in-law Xu will live alone in the future?

As soon as Xu Laogen's mother-in-law heard that her husband had joined the army, she covered her mouth and cried, trying to pull Xu Laogen to prevent him from leaving. In the distance, villagers looked this way, and the sound of whispered discussions loomed.

"What's wrong with the old Xu family? What is his mother-in-law crying about? A middle-aged woman in her forties asked a young mother with a child in her arms and two older children around her legs.

"Xu Laogen seems to have a good relationship outside, and it is estimated that he is a relative of the commander in the army. Tut-tut, didn't you see so many GIs coming today? It's all about supporting that little woman. Sister-in-law Xu is about to be small, can she not cry? If it were you, maybe she would cry even more than her! ”

Sister-in-law Xu's cry, the villagers gave full play to their imagination, and all kinds of new and strange versions of what happened to the Xu family appeared, and each story was told vividly, exactly like what they saw with their own eyes! One of the most bizarre versions is: Xu Laogen went up the mountain to hunt and met a frozen snake, he saved the snake, but the snake turned out to be the dragon king in the Xiushui River! In order to repay the favor, the dragon king insisted on marrying his daughter to Xu Laogen. Sister-in-law Xu cried, it was because she was going to give way to the Dragon King and Princess, and those who came to be soldiers were because they knew that Xu Laogen and the gods were married, so they came to set up a close!

The two members of the Xu family and the hundreds of officers and soldiers of the 500 Army didn't know anything about the discussion in the village. "Sister-in-law Xu, you don't have to worry. Xu Laogen participated in the 500 Army, and you can also join the army. I'll find you a job in the army, and you and Xu Laogen will be able to meet often. ”

This was said by Hong Yingying. Although she didn't know why the military seat wanted Xu Laogen, who was almost fifty, to join the army, Hong Yingying knew how to maintain the prestige of the military seat. Whatever Gao Quan's requirements are, Hong Yingying must do her best to help. Thinking about Hong Yingying, the colonel of the 500th Army, the chief of the special services, she wants to arrange a person, where can't she arrange it? As long as this person has a tone, Director Hong can find a suitable position for her.

"Huh? Can the army want me too? Captain doesn't coax me? "Now Xu Laogen's wife is really surprised, it is strange in the army to ask for an older man like Xu Laogen, and it is even more unbelievable to ask for a middle-aged and elderly woman like her, is the national army interested in older people now?

"Of course I won't coax you!" Director Hong's pretty face tensed, and a vicious aura instantly enveloped the three feet in front of him! "The military seat said, let Xu Laogen go and watch Hu Changqing be shot with his own eyes, you can also go with him to see with his own eyes the wicked man who harmed your daughter was killed by one shot! Maybe Hu Changqing was very human before he died, and it is possible that he will tell the whereabouts of your daughter Xiaohua. Even if the person is really gone, wouldn't it be a good thing that the bones can be found and a good place to hide? ”

This sentence can be regarded as really speaking to the hearts of Xu Laogen and his family! The two of them are just this one girl, no matter whether they live or die, they are their flesh and blood relatives! Just for the sake of the girl Xiaohua, these two people also got 500 troops!

"This, sir, can I talk to the people of the village?" I have lived in the village for most of my life, and suddenly the two of them are going to leave home together to go to the army, and there are too many things in this village that I am reluctant to do! The yard of his house has to be taken care of, and the old neighbors who have been there for many years have to say goodbye. Xu Laogen and his family looked at the village behind them, their eyes full of reluctance.

"Give you a meal time to go home and pack your things, you must go with the team before the troops start!" Gao Quan looked at his watch and left half an hour for Xu Laogen and his wife to say goodbye.

"Brother Lao Gen, sister-in-law of the Xu family, why do you say that you will leave as soon as you go? Gone and come back? ”

"Come back, why don't you come back? Lao Yan, I'll trouble you to watch my house for us, and we'll come back when the battle is over. If my family comes home, you can tell him that my mother and I went to the 500 Army, and let him go there to find us. Xu Laogen and his wife said hello and goodbye to the villagers and neighbors who knew each other well.

"Okay, Xu Laogen, let's go!" Although it seems a bit impersonal to let Xu Laogen leave the home where he has lived for most of his life in such a short time, a unit has discipline to abide by after all, and the team has been in this village long enough, and now it is time to go back.

Out of the village, the team went directly back to the military headquarters. The military seat was injured, no matter how big the harvest of this hunt was, it was inevitable to bear the accusation of poor protection, how could these captains still have the mind to stay outside? The hunting team galloped all the way and went straight to the 500 military headquarters in Xiushui County.

Sixteen strong guards, four of them, took turns to carry Gao Quan. Hong Yingying and Biao Zi are not far from the stretcher. Therefore, although Commander Gao was carried by someone, he was not lonely along the way, with Hong Yingying by his side to talk to him softly, the scenery along the way was charming.

There was no word all the way, and the team returned to the military headquarters safely. The news of the wounded military seat quickly alarmed the entire military department. This is the result of Gao Quan's deliberate blockade of the news, otherwise, I am afraid that not only all the incumbent officers of the 500th Army will know, but even friendly forces such as the 74th Army and the 37th Army that are not the 500th Army may also get the news.

Li Qi, director of the 500 Army Field Hospital, personally came to visit him when he heard the news. Doctor Li carefully examined Commander Gao's injuries, took Xu Laogen's half bottle of medicinal wine, looked at it, smelled it, and poured out a little more to taste. Gao Quan was shocked, this is a medicinal wine for external use, poisonous or not? Can you taste it?

"Well, this medicinal wine is not bad. The military seat sprained his ankle, but thanks to the timely compress of this medicinal wine, the ankle should have healed within a few days. Doctor Li affirmed the efficacy of Xu Laogen's medicine and wine with a light sentence, "I will prepare a pair of decoction for the military seat, apply it externally and take it internally, and the injury will be more thorough." ”

"Then thank you, Dr. Li." For Li Qi, Gao Quan maintained respect at all times.

"The military seat doesn't have to be polite, the decoction Huiqin will be fried." Li Qi smiled faintly at Gao Quan, got up and prescribed a prescription.
