Yu Tiesuo took everyone on the way back to Xihuo. The mountain path was desolate www.biquge.info the barren wilderness, and in addition to the yellow weeds and dead trees that had lost their leaves, there were also the corpses of ordinary people exposed to the wilderness, and you could imagine with your toes that they had been killed by the sweeping Japanese soldiers. Several corpses encountered along the way, Yu Tiesuo buried them with the soldiers.

In the biting cold wind, Yu Tiesuo's thoughts were full of thoughts, and he thought of the nearly 100 soldiers who died in this battle. Although they had won the battle, and the enemy had suffered several times as many casualties as his own, he was not at all happy. I don't know what happened to Xu Bing and Yuan Changbao, in order to give the two companies they brought more chances of survival, they kept almost all the ammunition for themselves, if they encountered devils again on the way to retreat, the consequences would be unimaginable. Thinking of this, he ordered the team to speed up the march.

After returning to Nanpo Village, the village was silent, and Yu Tiesuo asked the soldiers to search every corner of the village, but still no one was found. Looking at the empty village, the soldiers were extremely worried, wondering where their comrades-in-arms and fellow villagers had gone? Whether it is safe or not.

That night, Yu Tiesuo arranged for the soldiers to stay in Nanpo Village, and arranged secret sentry posts at several intersections within two miles of the front and back of the village.

Yu Tiesuo slept very early at night, he lay on the kang that he had once walked with Huang Baolian, and he was very melancholy, he thought about Huang Baolian, thought about this girl who grew up with his childhood sweetheart, and thought about all the things they had experienced. He shouted countless times in his heart: "Daughter-in-law, where are you? ”

In his sleep, Yu Tiesuo was woken up by an urgent knock on the door. He opened his stunned eyes and asked, "Who?" What's up? ”

The person outside the door said: "Brother Yu, I'm Niu Kuisheng, the company commander is here, open the door quickly!" ”

As soon as Yu Tiesuo heard that Yuan Shun was coming. A grunt got up from the kang and quickly jumped off the kang shoes to open the door without even bothering to put them on. Seeing Yuan Shun, Yu Tiesuo said happily, Brother Yuan, why are you here? Brother Xu and Brother Yuan, where are they now? Are they all okay? What about my daughter-in-law? How is she? ”

Yuan Shun looked at Yu Tiesuo's eager gaze and said with a smile: "Look at you, you are in a hurry, you ask me so many questions at once, how can I answer you?" Walk. Let's go in and talk. Then he walked into the house, sat down on the edge of the kang and said, "Why did you come back?" Everyone is worried about you during your absence, Captain Xu sends people to the village every day to see if you have come back, and Sister Baolian has personally come several times, but they all came with excitement and returned with failure. ”

"After we finished the battle with Akatsumi Tomomi, everyone was tired and hungry, and there were many wounded who needed to be treated in time, otherwise their lives would not be saved, so we recuperated for a while in a village near the Southern Song Dynasty before returning. Tell me about your retreat, shall we? Where are they stationed now? Yu Tiesuo asked impatiently after briefly talking about their situation.

Yuan Shun said: "We came out of Daxiong Mountain all the way smoothly. On the way back to Nanpo Village with the villagers, he found that the villagers in several nearby villages had been killed by devils. Saying that, his eyes were red, tears were swirling in his eyes, and Yu Tiesuo angrily punched the kang table after hearing this, and Wang Dazhu and Niu Kuisheng also lowered their heads angrily after hearing this. After calming down, Yuan Shun continued: "After we buried the villagers, the villagers in Nanpo Village didn't dare to go home to live, so everyone discussed. We found a place to settle down in the West Temple Mountain, and after everyone's efforts during this time. A lot of wooden houses have been built, and the comrades and villagers basically have a place to live. I look forward to your return. ”

After listening to Yuan Shunze's words, Yu Tiesuo was a lot more relieved, pursed his lips and gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay for everyone, I think the Japanese devils in Tucun must have been sent by Lingchuan County, and they did it when they passed here." These brutes, I must avenge these dead villagers. ”

"Yes, we must avenge the villagers." Yuan Shunze also angrily said that he wanted to take revenge, sighed, and then patted his hand on the arm of the iron lock and said, "Now I have found you." You can rest assured, when will we go back to Xisi Mountain? Sister Pauline knows that you are safe and sound, I don't know how happy she will be! A few days ago, she kept shouting that she wanted to go to Laoxiong Mountain to find you, but was finally stopped by Brother Xu and my brother. ”

Although Yu Tiesuo also wanted to see Huang Baolian immediately, now that he knew that everyone was fine, he was not in a hurry at this time, he lowered his head and thought about it and said: "It doesn't seem to be anything wrong tonight, so let the comrades sleep peacefully and wait until tomorrow morning before entering the mountain." ”

"Okay, then I'll go back and report to you now, so that everyone can rest assured. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning. Yuan Shun said goodbye and left.

After he returned to the Xisi Mountain station, he reported to Xu Bing, Yuan Changbao and Huang Baolian that Yu Tiesuo had returned to Nanpo Village, and Yuan Changbao said happily when he heard it: "Great, they finally came back safely, now I can sleep peacefully." Xu Bing also followed: "Yes, there is no news from them during this time, everyone is worried about it, and now you can finally rest assured!" ”

When the two of them said this, Huang Baolian ran away without saying a word. Yuan Changbao saw her running away, and asked loudly, "Baolian, where are you going?" Huang Baolian replied: "I'll go find him now!" After saying that, she was already a hundred meters away, and she didn't know if Yuan Changbao and they could hear it.

About half an hour later, Huang Baolian came to Nanpo Village, the soldiers who were on guard saw that it was Huang Baolian, and they all came out to greet her, Huang Baolian did not let them alarm others, continued to sentry, and entered the village alone.

She came to the door of the hut where she had lived with Yu Tiesuo, and when she knocked on the door, Yu Tiesuo who was sleeping was awakened again, and he asked impatiently: "Who?" Still don't let people sleep? Huang Baolian outside the door did not answer, but continued to knock on the door. Yu Tiesuo had no choice but to open the door under the kang.

He opened the door and saw that it was Huang Baolian, so he jumped up and hugged her and asked in surprise: "Daughter-in-law, why are you here?" Huang Baolian didn't answer him, just opened her arms and hugged his waist tightly, and a slight sobbing sound came out of her mouth.

Yu Tiesuo gently pushed her away after hearing her crying, and asked at a loss, "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Come on, come into the house and say. He closed the door.

After entering the house, Yu Tiesuo asked, "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Huang Baolian threw herself into Yu Tiesuo's arms again, hugged him tightly, and said with a smile with tears in her eyes: "I'm fine, but I'm happy to see you come back safely." After speaking, he pushed away Yu Tiesuo, hammered Yu Tiesuo on the chest with a heavy fist, and said: "If you dare to go out to perform dangerous tasks in the future without me, I will definitely not spare you!" ”

Yu Tiesuo took her hand and said with a smile: "Aren't I afraid that you are in danger?" It doesn't matter to me, since I have joined the revolution, I have to put my life and death on the line. ”

Huang Baolian pretended to be angry and said: "You don't care, I do, have you ever thought about what I should do if something happens to you?" ”

"I really haven't thought about this question, let me think about it!" He took a deep breath and raised his head, looked at Fang Liang and pretended to think for a while and said: "We fight all day long, everyone may have that day, in case I die one day, you have to live well, find a good man to marry again, and live a good life." ”

When Huang Baolian heard him say this, tears fell all of a sudden, and she said angrily: "Do you really bear to push me to others?" Let me tell you, I, Huang Baolian, will not marry anyone except you in my life, if you die, I will die with you! ”

After listening to her, Yu Tiesuo hugged her in his arms again and said with a smile: "God is too good to me, how can I let me meet such a good daughter-in-law as you." ”

After hugging for a while, Yu Tiesuo pushed Huang Baolian away, stroked her cheeks with both hands and said with a smile: "Tell me, what is so good about me Yu Tiesuo?" Is it worth your death to me like this? Is it because I saved you when I was a kid? ”

Huang Baolian lowered her head and said: "Not all, we have lived together for so many years, I still know you very well, if you are a person who is not worthy of trust, I will not be good with you." Although you usually do some things without seriousness, out of tune, and a scoundrel, but you are kind at heart, affectionate and righteous, and have always been very good to me, and when you encounter major events, you are assertive, love to use your brain, thoughtful, and like a man who stands up to the sky. ”

Yu Tiesuo heard Huang Baolian praise himself like this, and said happily: "I didn't know that I had so many advantages? ”

Huang Baolian whispered a little shyly: "Anyway, I think so, maybe you are worthless in the eyes of others!" Then he leaned into the arms of the iron lock and said, "Do you know why I am coming to you tonight?" ”

Yu Tiesuo blurted out without thinking about it: "You miss me, I miss you too!" (To be continued.) )
