Chapter 19 Zi Lei (I) With his son under the strange gaze of pedestrians, Lei Zhen stood on the streets of Shanghai and took a deep breath of air that was so familiar and so unfamiliar.

Now this beautiful city, known as the "Paris of the East", is still beautiful, still prosperous, and still has the tension of all-encompassing. And the Huangpu River, which runs through the entire city, makes the city have a lively and agile spirit.

Do the math, four years have passed since the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu. Look at the bustling street market, look at the pedestrians with indifferent smiles on their faces, except for the occasional few people with arrogant expressions and swaggering through the city with a crab-like attitude, there is almost no trace of a tragic war that broke out between the two sides and killed more than 300,000 people.

This city has not changed, when Lei Zhen was full of hope and stretched out his hand to pull out a passerby to ask him, Lei Zhen knew that Xie Jinyuan and his lonely army camp had not changed!

Xie Jinyuan is still a hero in the eyes of the people of the whole country, this hero is still in Shanghai, and he is still leading his soldiers to regularly raise the national flag representing the sovereignty and dignity of a country on this Chinese land! And those who are circling around the lonely military camp every day and trying to carry out terrorist attacks on this squadron are still the spies sent by the intelligence agency or the Ronin who can become obedient and easy to become like a dog if they are given a bowl of rice to eat.

The only thing that has changed is that the Ministry of Industry has issued an order for a year and a half to prohibit the lonely military camp from opening to the outside world, and if there is no special care, you will no longer be able to enter the lonely military camp, let alone see Xie Jinyuan in person.

Hearing such news, in Lei Zhen's heart, he was deeply disappointed and happy at the same time.

These are two absolutely contradictory situations, but Lei Zhen should really be content, in times of war and turmoil, as a professional soldier, life is as unpredictable as a light fluttering in the wind, but at least Mr. Xie Jinyuan is still alive! At least Lei Zhen can see the teacher's eyes full of hope and tolerance, brighter than the stars in the night, and be able to listen to his teachings again, and feel a kind of warmth that can be described as "father" in him!

The people who are responsible for guarding the lonely military camp every day are still those White Russian soldiers, and Lei Zhen easily found a few familiar faces among the White Russian soldiers guarding the door. But if it weren't for the son's too eye-catching sign, almost no one would recognize Lei Zhen.

In two and a half years, Lei Zhen really didn't know how earth-shaking changes had taken place in his body! If Lei Zhen, who walked into the big city of Shanghai with hatred at the beginning, was just a big boy, he is now a man, a man who survives in the most cruel nature and constantly sharpens various military techniques, his face lines are as hard as a knife and axe, but there is a passion like fire hidden in his eyes!

Lei Zhen stood there proudly, the roughness of the desert, the stability of the mountains, the vastness of the forest, the vicissitudes of the snowfield, the most wonderful experience of his life, like the stars and the moon, made him naturally have an indescribable momentum. Let those usually arrogant White Russian soldiers involuntarily become polite.

Lei Zhen was stopped in front of the gate of the lonely military camp, and Mr. Xie Jinyuan had already contacted Major Ma Fei in the British Concession, hoping to approve Lei Zhen to enter the barracks through his help. And during the period of time when Lei Zhen stood in front of the gate and waited, Xie Jinyuan kept smiling with a faint face, standing inside to accompany Lei Zhen. Through the wall made of barbed wire, the two men who had been separated for more than two years were also teachers and friends, and after nodding to each other, they did not speak, they were quietly looking at each other, quietly feeling a feeling that could only belong to a real man, constantly flowing and rolling in their chests.

I haven't seen him for more than two years, and the first feeling Xie Jinyuan gave Lei Zhen is that he is old. The faint grayness, I don't know when, has climbed up the ends of Xie Jinyuan's hair, and between his eyebrows, two or three heavy marks of the years are silently telling Lei Zhen about the vicissitudes that Xie Jinyuan has experienced in the lonely military camp for more than two years.

After staring at each other for two hours, until the sky gradually darkened, the door that was not strong, but imprisoned Xie Jinyuan, a hero of the world, and more than 300 Chinese [***] people for several years, was finally opened in the reluctant "squeak-la-la" sound. With a steady pace, Lei Zhen walked in front of Xie Jinyuan step by step, and he saluted Xie Jinyuan seriously.

After Xie Jinyuan was slightly surprised, he also raised his right hand, and as soon as he returned the military salute, his body was hugged by a wider and more powerful body.

"Master," Lei Zhen hugged the man who gave him strength and guided him step by step into the realm of professional soldiers, a big smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he shouted loudly, "I miss you!" ”

Xie Jinyuan smiled, he really smiled. After such a long time, Lei Zhen has changed, he has become stronger, his whole body looks like a bayonet, with unspeakable danger, but he still retains a rare heart!

"I miss you too!"

Xie Jinyuan also hugged Lei Zhen back, he slapped Lei Zhen's sturdy body hard, felt the most terrifying explosive power contained in his body, and felt Lei Zhen's heartfelt respect and love for himself, Xie Jinyuan was really overjoyed at this time, he laughed and said: "Go, go, go, don't blame Weicheng for not standing here with you, she knows how happy you are to come back, she said to make a good meal to entertain you, and now it should be almost done." ”

Knowing that Lei Zhen was back, Ling Weicheng, who deliberately combed his hair neatly and meticulously, said to Lei Zhen with an apologetic smile: "Sit down, you're hungry too." I don't know if you came back today, you didn't prepare in advance, and there really wasn't anything you could get your hands on to welcome you. ”

Ling Weicheng couldn't help but say, snatched the backpack in Lei Zhen's hand, and pressed him to the dining table.

Dishes and chopsticks have been set up on the table, and the dishes on the plate are even more enticing aromas. Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, croquettes made of mashed potatoes, minced meat and filled into two slices of sliced lotus vegetables, then wrapped in a mixed batter, fried in a pan with zygotes, a small plate of pork head, and two bowls of steaming white rice.

It may not take much time to make these dishes, but in a place like the lonely barracks, you want to find all the ingredients to make some dishes...... Lei Zhen really didn't want to imagine how much energy Ling Weicheng had spent!

Lei Zhen looked up at Ling Weicheng, and a few silver flashes flashed in Ling Weicheng's neatly combed hair, Master, she is also old. Staying with Master in such a prison where God knows how long it will take to reopen the door for them, living a life of worry and fear every day, seeing that he himself is forcing his martial arts to show off his might, and seeing that he has established a solid base in China, how can Ling Weicheng not be old?!

But such an exhausted woman can still squeeze out a happy smile at Lei Zhen, and stuffed a pair of chopsticks into Lei Zhen's hand, "What are you still doing in a daze, the food will not taste good if it is cold." Look at you, kid, how thin you have been after not seeing you for so long?! ”

She patronized and said that Lei Zhen was not, she hadn't seen her for so long, and her own son and daughter, although they had not grown taller, did they look thinner than before? Huzi hid behind his mother, stared at the dishes under Lei Zhen's chopsticks, how did Lei Zhen think that Huzi's eyes looked like he and his son were about to go crazy, and suddenly found a little white rabbit in the grass? !

"Thank you, Master!"

Under Ling Weicheng's smiling gaze, Lei Zhen picked up the rice bowl in his hand, picked up a ball fried with mashed potatoes, and quietly sent it into his mouth.

Lei Zhen slowly chewed the food in his mouth, looked at Xie Jinyuan who was sitting in front of him, and then looked at the smiling master and the two children who were obviously hungry and swallowed saliva, but because they were well-educated, they didn't say anything, Lei Zhen's heart was suddenly filled with a warm feeling. When the rice bowl in his hand was empty, and Ling Weicheng helped him refill the rice, Lei Zhen really didn't pay attention, he subconsciously took it off and said: "Thank you, mother!" ”

When he found out that he had made a slip of the tongue, Lei Zhen couldn't help but show an embarrassed smile on his face. And the master Xie Jinyuan sitting in front of him was smiling, Ling Weicheng was smiling, and even Huzi and the little sister who was holding his hand showed a big smile while staring at the dishes on the table.

There was a knock on the door outside the house, and after Ling Weicheng opened the door, Yu Decai, the platoon leader, walked in with a bucket full of hot water. This man, who joined forces with Ma Lan and Lei Zhen to re-support the entire military camp after Xie Jinyuan and the other sixteen officers were forcibly taken out of the lonely barracks, laughed loudly and shouted: "Little brother Lei Zhen is back tonight, and all the brothers in our battalion want to get together with him and listen to him talk about what he has experienced outside." But tonight, he is the head of the regiment, sister-in-law, you make something to entertain him, of course we don't need to worry about it, and then our brothers summed it up, and the Lei Zhen brothers rushed back all the way, and they also walked a lot of way, get him some hot water, and scald his feet to get tired, we can still do such a thing. ”

Putting down the bucket in his hand, Yu Decai, the platoon leader, ran away as if he had escaped. White water vapor escaped from the mouth of the bucket filled with hot water, and it continued to roll in the air, changing into various strange shapes.

Looking back at the sincere smiling faces, at this time, Lei Zhen's heart suddenly had a feeling of going home! At this time, Lei Zhen suddenly remembered something, and he blurted out: "Brother Yang Ruifu, why haven't I seen him since I entered the barracks for so long?" ”

The smile on Xie Jinyuan's face disappeared, and after a long time, he replied in a low voice, "Brother Yang has gone home." ”

"Shortly after you left, the injuries on Ruifu's body continued to deteriorate, and finally reached the point where they were out of control. After applying upwards and getting approval, Rui Fu took his wife and children and his brother-in-law, who was also injured in the Anti-Japanese War, to the Erxian Temple in Tongliang Cave in Hechuan to recuperate. It was a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers, but eight months later, the wound on his body recurred, and he was sent to Yucheng Hospital for rescue, and he was not pulled back. ”

Tears slowly oozed from Xie Jinyuan's eyes, and he said softly: "Rui Fu was in the Sixing Warehouse, in order to save my life, he stabbed himself in the leg, we were all recuperating in the hospital, only he insisted on staying in the barracks; We insisted on raising the national flag in the barracks, and the White Russian soldier rushed in with sticks and bayonets, and I hid behind to command, but he charged forward, wounded again. I obviously saw all this in my eyes, and in order to allow us officers to return to the barracks and join everyone as soon as possible, I still unreasonably ordered all officers to go on a hunger strike in protest. Ruifu was driven to death a little bit for me! Tan Dunjiu Dao Chang of the Second Immortal Temple and Rui Fu Pingshui met, but Yang Jingrui Fu was a good man who resisted, purchased a coffin for him, and buried Rui Fu on the left side of the Two Immortal Temple. When he wrote to me, the Taoist told me that when the Ruifu brother died, he weighed only a few dozen catties, and he, a man in his sixties, could pick up Ruifu with his hands. ”

In the end, Xie Jinyuan really couldn't cry. "My brother Ruifu, when he died, he was only thirty-seven years old......

Lei Zhen listened quietly, in the entire barracks, except for Xie Jinyuan Yang Ruifu is the eldest brother he respects the most, although Yang Ruifu is not as resourceful as Master Xie Jinyuan, but he is affectionate and righteous, dare to act, and really deserve the three words of the husband. Lei Zhen really didn't expect that when he left the barracks in a hurry, it would be the last goodbye to Yang Ruifu!

Xie Jinyuan wiped away the tears on his face, and he barely squeezed out a smile at Lei Zhen, "Lei Zhen, you haven't been back for more than two years, seeing you like this, I, Xie Jinyuan, am happy!" Tonight, the two of us don't talk about state affairs, and after dinner, we talk by candle and night, let me know what my baby apprentice has experienced and learned in the past two years! ”

"By the way," Xie Jinyuan said with a smile, "I like to drink tea, but I haven't had time to study such a thing as tea ceremony before." After staying in the barracks for so long, someone brought me some good tea, and I was finally able to make a good tea myself, and I will definitely try it later. ”

Lei Zhen nodded vigorously, he picked up a ball again, threw it into his mouth and chewed it, and said loudly: "Okay! ”

That night, Xie Jinyuan and Lei Zhen gathered around a small charcoal stove, sipping tea and chatting at the same time. The two of them chatted for a long, long time, Lei Zhen told Xie Jinyuan what he had seen and heard in the desert, how he dug a twenty-five-meter-deep hole in the ground when he was about to die of thirst, and finally found precious fresh water.

Xie Jinyuan clapped his hands and made a rather wonderful judgment on Lei Zhen's behavior: "You are called cocooning and self-restraint!" ”

When he heard that Lei Zhen was chased by wolves on the prairie, his son turned back to meet the battle, directly challenged the other party's wolf king, and finally single-handedly bit the opponent's wolf king under the gaze of tens of thousands of wild wolves, and then bit the other three challengers in a row, and finally under the careful gaze of the wolves, he escorted Lei Zhen out of the encirclement, Xie Jinyuan was really impressed by Lei Zhen's son.

The wolf king who can become the leader of the wolf pack must be the strongest and most warlike among them. But Lei Zhen's son can defeat four of his kind, including the Wolf King, in a row, and it is not wrong to say that it is the King of Wolf Warriors!

Staring at Lei Zhen, who had opened his chatterbox in the face of him, Xie Jinyuan suddenly had a realization in his heart. Lei Zhen has grown amazingly in the past two years and nearly three years, and his son, who is strong enough and brave enough, can never leave Lei Zhen after being hit by bullets, after accompanying him through this journey and experiencing the cycle of life and death again and again, why is it not flying over the promotion of the surname, and why is it not getting stronger day by day, until it is so strong that it is invulnerable? !

When Lei Zhen talked about the fatal avalanche, Xie Jinyuan smiled, facing such an apprentice, facing such a man, Xie Jinyuan couldn't help but laugh!

In the end, even Xie Jinyuan and Lei Zhen didn't know when they were so sleepy that they huddled together and fell into a deep sweet sleep.

But at 4:20 in the morning, Xie Jinyuan opened his eyes on time. This is because, according to his regulations, all the officers and men of the battalion should get up at 4:30 every day and conduct morning training from 5 to 7 o'clock in the morning. After opening his eyes, Xie Jinyuan was surprised to find that Lei Zhen, who had been sleeping in the same bed with him at night, was no longer there.

Pushing open the door, a cool breeze unique to the night came to his face, and Xie Jinyuan couldn't help but shiver slightly. At this time, Xie Jinyuan suddenly heard the sound of swift footsteps on the field that was still shrouded in darkness. Xie Jinyuan's eyes widened, and with the help of the electric light hanging high on the wire wall in the corner of the barracks, Xie Jinyuan finally saw that it was Lei Zhen who was doing morning exercises.

Xie Jinyuan didn't know how heavy the thick wooden stake that Lei Zhen carried on his shoulders and used to carry the load, but he knew that when moving the stake, no one in the barracks could carry it alone. But Lei Zhen was able to carry such a wooden stake that God knows how heavy it was, and he was running on his legs, allowing his sweat to pour his sweat little by little on the ground of this stump in the heavy but fast footsteps.

Xie Jinyuan stood there, quietly and carefully looking at the apprentice in front of him who was like a camel, carrying a wooden stake and galloping on the field, Yang Huimin, who had sent the national flag to the Sixing warehouse with him, really had ups and downs in his life, no matter what the final outcome was, at least in this history, he had left a strong mark.

But Xie Jinyuan can already be sure at this time that when Lei Zhen finally walks on the battlefield, as long as God does not use a stray bullet or a piece of shrapnel to take his life, Lei Zhen already has enough strength to leave the most brilliant chapter in this war-torn world!

When time slipped by little by little, and more and more soldiers walked out of their barracks, who saw such a thunder shock was not stunned, not gasping for air?

One of the soldiers opened his mouth wide and stared at Lei Zhen's galloping figure, listening to his footsteps, which were heavier than an elephant, and after a long time, he gasped and shouted, "Cattle! ”

This is definitely not a compliment, and it is a bit excessive to use it on the brothers who used to get along with them day and night, but I don't know why, almost everyone present who heard this word clearly nodded again and again.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and line up!"

If it weren't for Xie Jinyuan's loud shouting, these soldiers really didn't know, they had been standing in place stupidly for more than ten minutes, and it was only at this time that these soldiers finally understood what it meant to be a professional soldier among professional soldiers, and an elite among elites!

On this day, everyone straightened their waists straighter than usual, and the sound of shouting slogans was louder than usual. Although they can't be as perverted and livestock as Lei Zhen in this life, at least they can let Lei Zhen see that none of the soldiers led by Xie Jinyuan are bad breeds!

Just after everyone lined up and had already run two laps on the field, Xie Jinyuan suddenly saw that there were four swaying shadows, and he slowly walked towards the field. With the help of the faint yellow light, Xie Jinyuan finally saw the appearance of the person walking in front clearly, and he shouted angrily: "Hao Dingcheng, what are you doing, you are still grinding when you are late, how can you still look like a soldier on your body?" ”

He Dingcheng and the other three soldiers from the lone army camp all lowered their heads, and they honestly walked in front of Xie Jinyuan. Looking at their appearance, Xie Jinyuan slowed down his tone and asked, "What's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?" ”

He Dingcheng didn't open his mouth, they replied to Xie Jinyuan, it was a shovel! A shovel that slashed a semicircle in the air and slapped at Xie Jinyuan's head!

"Bang!"

In the dark air, there was a sound of a blunt object hitting the human body, Xie Jinyuan only felt a severe shock all over his body, and before he could figure out what was going on, a blazing warm current poured down from his head and soaked through his shirt in an instant.

"Bleeding, what's going on?"

Faced with this absolute accident, Xie Jinyuan was really stunned. He looked at the blood on his hands in a daze, he looked at He Dingcheng who was carrying a shovel in front of him, at this time, Xie Jinyuan, a peerless wise man on the battlefield, actually asked a rather idiotic question: "What are you doing?" ”

What answered Xie Jinyuan was the shovel that He Dingcheng picked up again, and the dagger that the other three people took out of their arms! The shovel once again slapped heavily on Xie Jinyuan's head, and the three sharp weapons that had been prepared long ago also stabbed into Xie Jinyuan's chest at the same time.

"Ah......!!!h

A terrible scream suddenly tore through the sky.

It was Ling Weicheng who got up at this time every day and went to the kitchen to help the cook prepare breakfast. At this time, Ling Weicheng was really stunned, she watched four of Xie Jinyuan's subordinates, holding shovels and daggers, constantly slamming at her husband, and she watched blood keep splashing out of Xie Jinyuan's body.

At this time, Ling Weicheng only felt that his whole body was absolutely cold, so cold that she could no longer move her body after screaming, so cold that she could hardly tell whether this was an ethereal illusion or the most cruel reality.

Ling Weicheng looked at her husband who was lying in a pool of blood, and she kept thinking about the same question in her heart: "Can a person still live after so many injuries and so much blood?!" Can a person survive with so many injuries and so much blood?! Can a person survive with so many injuries and so much blood?! Can a person survive with so many injuries and so much blood......"

This scream alarmed the entire military camp, and for a while I don't know how many pairs of eyes were cast in this direction, He Dingcheng and the other three accomplices glanced at each other, He Dingcheng gritted his teeth and said: "Don't do anything, since we have chosen this path, there is no room to turn back, kill her!" ”

Seeing that the four traitors guarded by the superior soldier He Dingcheng, wielding a murder weapon still stained with Xie Jinyuan's blood in their hands, flew towards him, and in Ling Weicheng's eyes, which had already fallen into dementia, there was a hint of expectation. If this is just an ethereal illusion, then what pounces on her is just a fantasy. If it is really the cruelest reality, then why can't she follow her husband, hand in hand, and walk on the road to another world?!

That way, at least they won't be lonely with each other, and they won't be afraid!

"How......!!!

A painful, sad, angry, and crazy howl suddenly tore through this unjust and uneven sky, and the three rebels who followed closely behind He Dingcheng suddenly heard a terrible sound of a blunt object breaking the wind at high speed, and the three of them turned their heads, that is, under the gaze of their three pairs of eyes, a stake more than three meters long and twenty centimeters thick, God knows how heavy, and God knows how a person can throw it out, is smashing straight at them. A few people only had time to stretch out their hands before they were knocked seven or eight meters away by an unstoppable force.

And He Dingcheng saw a black panther at this time.

Wrong!

It was a figure that ran faster, crazier, and more stunned than the Panther! It was a death with an astonishing speed that could almost pull an afterimage out of the air!
