The warm spring sun hung in the deep blue sky, and thousands of rays of light passed through the lush foliage, casting patches of dappled light and shadow. The forest www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion is extremely silent, except for the sound of the wind blowing the branches and leaves and the occasional birdsong. The spring of the seventh year was warm and comfortable.

In the warm spring light, the group climbed up the rugged mountain road, and several attendants led the way, a tall and handsome man, arm in arm with a tall and plump Tessari, and behind them, a young woman with a rather moving posture, dressed in a new military uniform, followed with difficulty.

Her head was already covered with sweat, and it was obvious that the journey to the mountain had taken a lot of physical toll on her, and her plump breasts rose and fell violently with wheezing. This kind of tight-fitting tunic military uniform makes the woman's physical characteristics very clear, which also makes this woman a little uncomfortable, although there is no one around, but she is still worried about being discovered by the man in front of her, and her pace slows down unconsciously.

The Tessie Liren who was moving forward turned her head and stretched out her hand with a smile, "Hongling, if you can't walk, I can help you." Are you sure you're really okay? If you can't do it, don't force it. You know, we can give you other jobs that don't have to work so hard. ”

The woman shook her head in horror and said, "How can this be done?" How dare I let Mrs. Hannah help her, isn't that a mess of humility? I have been doing rough work since I was a child, and I am not afraid of hardship, that is, ...... I just haven't been afraid of this mountain. In fact, of course, it is not that she has not climbed the mountain, but she has not worn this kind of tight-fitting military uniform, and she is always worried that her figure will be seen by men. There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, not to mention that she is such a widow who is extremely outstanding in the entire ten miles and eight villages, even if she gives birth to three children, her figure is still graceful, and her appearance is still excellent, so she must be more careful.

After Zhou Gui was killed, he enjoyed a regiment-level pension, and Zhou Fu also became the village chief and county councilor because of Zhou Gui's relationship and the relationship between being received by the marshal. With this kind of family condition, even if you raise three children, life is not much worse. But Hongling is not a person who can eat idle meals with peace of mind, and when the child is a little older, she took the initiative to find Zhao Guanhou and ask to be a soldier.

Zhao Guanhou has a good impression of Zhou Gui, the flag officer, who loves the house and Wu, and also takes great care of Hongling. At the beginning, she was only arranged for a dispensable idle position in a factory under the army. But she refused to accept this disguised charity, and only wanted a truly valuable position.

The place where she is taken now is an extremely secret place in the Lu army, and even ordinary officers may not know about the existence of this institution. In terms of Shandong's financial expenditure every year, a mysterious special expenditure, on the surface, is the expense that Zhao Guanhou uses to climb flowers and fold willows, but in fact, more than half of it is spent on this institution. It is precisely because Hongling is absolutely reliable and has simple social relations that he is qualified to be selected to work there. But once you enter this institution, it is unlikely that you want to quit.

Zhao Guanhou looked back at Hongling, "Hongling, it's still too late for you to quit now." Zhou Gui has not been with me for a long time, but he is very loyal and brave, and he is the combat hero of my Lu army. Even if you don't do anything, you won't worry about food and clothing, and you still insist on going there with me? ”

"Dashuai, Hongling has made up his mind, Dashuai doesn't need to ask more." Hongling firmly met Zhao Guanhou's gaze. It's strange to say, she is afraid of those soldiers, and even the villagers who grew up together in the village, but she has no fear of this crown handsome who has never had a good reputation in terms of women, and even took the initiative to look at him, and she will not be the slightest shy.

"I know that the handsome man is good to us, and he divides the house and the land, and divides the money. Such a good handsome, you can't find it with a lantern. When my second brother's children and I grow up, we will send them to be soldiers, and then serve the marshal, so that the grace of the marshal will be right. I don't know any big truth, I know that people can't be ungrateful, and if the handsome is good to us, we have to repay the handsome. I have nothing to repay, so I can only work hard for the handsome. Since Dashuai said that there is a need for women to work in that place, I am willing to go, and I believe that Dashuai will not pit us. ”

Hongling was originally an extremely tame character, but when he said these words, he was categorical and extremely powerful.

Zhao Guanhou nodded, and at the same time as Hannah, he took Hongling's arm, "Since you have decided, then I will respect your choice, follow me, we will be there soon." ”

Turning over the mountains in front of you, surrounded by mountains, a tall building suddenly appeared. The towering walls, covered with barbed wire covered with thistles, the vermilion gatehouse, and the guards standing guard with guns all mean that this area is not trivial.

Soon after descending the mountain, you can see a wooden sign with the words "Military important land, idlers are not allowed to enter" in large words at the mouth of the bowl. "Bright red paint replaces thick ink, making the notice look murderous and chilling.

"I was in contact with this place before I came. On the way, there are several groups of secret posts to protect our safety, and if outsiders enter, these dark posts will turn from bodyguards to killers. Therefore, if the people in the base want to leave, they must get permission, and if they leave their posts without permission, they will not want to get out of this mountain alive. ”

Zhao Guanhou introduced to Hongling, who was also a little weak when he saw this murderous arrangement, but still gritted his teeth, "I will listen to the orders of the handsome, and I will do whatever I want." The second brother told me at the beginning that if you follow the handsome, you won't have to worry about it. If I listen to the words of the commander, I will not be afraid of military law. But...... I want to be able to meet my children. ”

"There will be time to meet, the people who work here have their families outside, and they will arrange regular meetings."

While speaking, the group had already arrived at the door of the building, and saw dozens of tall soldiers standing in a row, marching to greet them. These people are both Chinese and foreigners, but the first one is Anna in a dress. As soon as he saw Zhao Guanhou, he jumped up and hugged Zhao Guanhou's waist, and kept selling cuteness, and then Zhao Guanhou took his ears and lifted him aside.

After responding with a military salute, Zhao Guanhou pointed to Hongling, "Everyone, hard work, today, you will welcome a new colleague, I hope you cooperate happily." I took the newcomers around, everyone was busy, and they all hurried to get the newcomers' documents ready. ”

As everyone walked in, the heavy wooden door was closed again, and in front of Hongling, there was an open playground, with a total of more than three hundred half-grown children, all wearing uniform uniforms, standing in several horizontal lines on the playground, not moving at all. When he saw Zhao Guanhou, he shouted at the same time: "Long live my father!" Banzai! Hooray! ”

These half-grown children, both male and female, have different appearances and excellent mental outlook. The complexion is ruddy, full of energy, and it can be seen that the usual nutrition is not bad. Zhao Guanhou smiled and nodded at everyone, "I came today to bring you a new aunt." Her name is Honggu, and she will be one of the girls' instructors in the future. She doesn't know martial arts, she doesn't know how to use guns, but she will teach you a lot of things that ordinary people should know, and treat her with the same respect as any other instructor, and if anyone bullies her, it won't be my child! ”

"Everything is arranged by my father!" The crowd shouted at the same time.

"Okay, now let me see if you've been lazy these days. Boys, out of the ranks! ”

With a command, with a sonorous footstep, the boys, who made up about two-thirds of the total number in the group, stepped out. Hongling has dealt with the army a little because of her husband, although she doesn't know much, but she is better than ordinary village girls. In her opinion, the boys' movements were similar to those of the village militia, and they seemed to be more uniform than the militia. It is not easy for such an older child to be able to fall so well and then walk in a queue.

Who knows, Zhao Guanhou called them out, but instead of letting them go in line, he ordered: "Today, I will take you Honggu to take a look around, and the special subjects will be reviewed at night." Take a look at your basics now, running, obstacles, shooting, throwing, fighting. Let's go! ”

As the whistle sounded from the tall officer Tieler, the hundreds of boys clasped their hands into fists and ran quickly in four columns. Behind them, they all carried a luggage roll, and they didn't know what was inside. Zhao Guanhou explained: "In the burden they carry is simulated field marching equipment, and the weight is eighty percent of that of the regular army. As for running, five kilometers are the base. ”

Ten miles? Hongling was shocked when she heard this number, "This ...... The militia in the village has only traveled ten miles. They're all babies. ”

"They're no ordinary kids. These children are more mature than adults. When you stay here for a long time, you know, be careful, if you are too talkative, they may do you a bad bully. If that's the case, tell me, and I'll give him color. When Zhao Guanhou took out his pocket watch as he spoke, these children just ran lap after lap on the playground, and no one seemed to care when it was five kilometers, as long as there was no order from the superiors, they couldn't stop.

"These people, the war orphans I adopted, are the children of poor families. If I don't adopt them, they will either starve to death or be eaten, or they will be dragged into the army by someone, and it won't be long before they will die on the streets. I give them enough food, clothes, and life, even if they can't enjoy it at home, and they are willing to treat me as a father, so they call me a handsome father. The existence of these child soldiers is the highest level secret in Shandong, if a word leaks from you, not only will you die, but your children will die, including Zhou Fu, and his children will also die. Do you understand? ”

After watching the so-called "basic training", Hongling's whole person was stunned, and he didn't know what to say. Even laymen who have never been in contact with battle formations can see that the militia in the village is far inferior to these child soldiers. But in Zhao Guanhou's view, this is just the most ordinary subject, is it ...... The guard battalion next to the commander was trained by these baby soldiers?

Originally, she regarded Zhao Guanhou as a savior and benefactor, but now after watching these performances, Yu Jingzhong is a little more afraid. Just now, he had just taken himself on a tour of the dog farm, and in that area, there were dozens of fierce dogs like calves, and they did not bark, nor did they show any signs of attack. But the red eyes and sharp teeth made Hongling, who grew up in the village since she was a child and was used to seeing big dogs in the countryside, also feel chills down her spine. She knew very well that if these dogs really wanted to attack themselves, it wouldn't take them a few minutes to turn themselves into pieces.

"Ever since the base was established, there have always been people who want to find out. Most of them failed, and the few who saw what the base looked like didn't have a chance to tell the story. And the people in the base are the ones I feel most comfortable with, and so are you. So I don't want you guys to have problems here, I'll treat you as my own, don't let me down. Zhao Guanhou patted Hongling's shoulder, Hongling nodded mechanically, her body and hands were trembling violently, this performance fully showed that she was indeed afraid.

"Da Shuai is good to me, Hongling remembers that without Da Shuai, I was either ruined by Old Lady Zhuang, or I became a dead person, and I would not be married to my second brother for a few years. I am not an ungrateful person, and I would never dare to betray my great handsome. ”

"You're the one I saved with Hannah, and I trust you. Rest assured, you won't suffer if you work hard here. Zhao Guanhou pulled her to the door of a row of houses, pushed the door and said, "Go in, introduce you to someone." After that, you listen to her. ”

In the room was a woman who was also beautiful and moving, older than Hongling, and showed a mature atmosphere. Wearing a women's military uniform, her figure is very prominent, and she deliberately highlights the characteristics of women on her body, making this military uniform more charming than heroic. Zhao Guanhou asked Hongling to call her the seventh girl, and the seventh girl looked at Hongling, and then walked to Zhao Guanhou's side, generously took his arm, and rubbed Zhao Guanhou's arm with her chest. "Dashuai, you are here, and I have forgotten about my poor man. This is what you call Mrs. Hongling, right? It's beautiful. Young widows, strange and pitiful. Don't worry, follow Dashuai, you will never suffer, and you will definitely be assigned a good job. ”

When Zhao Guanhou left, the seventh girl lit a cigarette and handed another one to Hongling, seeing that she desperately refused, she smiled and said, "You, it's the same as when I was at the beginning." I didn't even dare to smoke a cigarette pouch at first, but after a few years here, I could do anything. You can't look like this, too face! It's going to be bullied by those kids. Don't underestimate these little cubs, they have a bad stomach. If you want to gain a foothold here, you have to be able to suppress them, and if you let them suppress you, you will have to suffer. You were brought by Dashuai, I heard that your man was still the flag of Dashuai's side, I will definitely take care of you, with me, who dares to bully you, see how I clean him up. ”

Hongling thanked her, only to hear the seventh girl say to herself, "We still have a braid, just like you, we all lost a man during the Battle of Shandong." But she is worse than you, she didn't even get married, and the man died, so she was a widow. Originally, the handsome wanted to find a good man for her, but who knew that she was dead-eyed, cut her braids and had to be a soldier, and she came to us. You can share a room with her, and you have something to say to each other. I'll take you to the dormitory first to see if you're satisfied with the house. ”

Hongling asked a little nervously, "I...... I've been used to it since I was a child, and I can live anywhere, but I don't know what I can do here. What is this place? ”
