The cargo ship carried special forces soldiers and made a short stop in the port of Shanghai before sailing to the port of Tianjin. On the dock, Li Tie waited anxiously and saw Ma Kai hurrying out of the telegraph room. Li Tie hurriedly greeted him and asked, "How is it, has the commander approved us to take a vacation?" "As expected, there will be no combat missions before the end of the year. The commander gave me three months of leave and agreed that we should find a wife. The two were overjoyed to get off the ship at the port of Shanghai and decided to take the train to Xi'an.

The train runs through the vibrant wilderness, and the two sit opposite each other by the window, admiring the stunning scenery outside, and the mood is particularly pleasant. Ma Kai sighed softly and held his head in his hands. "I said man, I was elated just now, was I overjoyed." Ma Kai smiled bitterly: "There is one thing I haven't told you, I sneaked out of my home and applied for the Shanghai Army School. ”

"You kid must have done something unseemly to run out, tell me about it." "What do you think of me as? Our Ma family is a big local family, and the family has been in business for hundreds of years. There were four of us, one sister at the top and two sisters at the bottom, and I was the only male. My father hopes that his son will become a Chan and believes that everything is inferior, and only the creed of high reading. I hope I will be an official in the future. ”

"There's nothing wrong with my uncle thinking like this!"; Li Tie expressed understanding. "But when I was young, I was very rebellious, and the stricter my father's discipline was, the more rebellious I became. I secretly apprenticed to learn martial arts and played Mr. Teach. The articles taught by Ming Ming can be memorized backwards, but I can't memorize them. Now that I think about it, my father is also a painstaking person, blaming me for being ignorant. Because my mother doted on me. I've suffered a lot less. My mother was born in a beautiful family, literate and hyphenated, so my father respected my mother very much, and I ran away from home without permission, and I was most sorry for my mother. ”

"Back then, you resolutely ran away from home. As a son, he is indeed extraordinary, how do you know that there is a military academy in Shanghai? Li Tie asked. Ma Kai recalled: "In the year of the Northern Expedition, the people said that there was a generation of Ming lords in Guangzhou, who came to save the people of Limin, and rumored that the Qing court was exhausted. Later, I heard that a military government had been established in Guangzhou, and Zhang Zhidong defected to this Ming lord, who was the commander-in-chief Deng whom we admired. I was only 14 years old when the Northern Expeditionary Army occupied Jiangnan. ”

Ma Kai continued: "The year before the Northern Expeditionary Army crossed the river and the Northern Expedition. I was 18 years old. At that time, I could no longer control my restless heart, so I decided to defect to Commander-in-Chief Deng and do something earth-shattering. It happened that a merchant came from Sichuan that year. It was my father's business friend, and I learned about the situation of the Shanghai Military Academy from his casual conversation with my father. I disdain the Qing Army, but it is my dream to become a soldier of the Northern Expeditionary Army. So I stole money from my family. I went to Shanghai and applied for a military school. ”

“haha！ Now you are a major in the Wehrmacht. This time I am honored to return to my hometown, I am afraid that my uncle will not know how happy he will be! "To tell you the truth, it's been 6 years, and I haven't gotten in touch with my family?" "You kid is too inauthentic, you didn't write a letter home." "I am the only male in the family, and if they knew that I was carrying my head to my life, my father would probably become depressed and sick, and my mother would wash her face with tears every day. Rather than make them nervous. It's better to give them hope. Even if I die in battle, I will not grieve excessively. ”

"You have a point. We deal with death every day, and it's strange that the family is not in a hurry. I don't care about this, you are not as good as me! Li Tie was a little sad after speaking. Ma Kai asked, "My situation is revealed, can you tell me about your situation?" Li Tiedao: "My parents run a grocery store, and they can eat enough with a small business. Before I was 12 years old, I went to private school for three years, and I was also literate and hyphenated. When I was 15 years old, my father asked me to go to the countryside to ask for debts, but my family suddenly suffered a fire, and my parents, including my younger siblings, were burned to death, and the house was burned to pieces. ”

Li Tie continued: "When I returned home, my kind neighbors had already buried my parents and younger siblings. It just so happened that the Qing court formed a new army that year, and I became a soldier when I had nowhere to go, and I have been stationed in Mukden. Later, the Northern Expeditionary Army entered the northeast, and our commander led his troops to surrender. Since I am literate and hyphenation, I have mixed up to the platoon leader. When I entered the Korean War, I was promoted to company commander after capturing the peninsula because of my bravery. Later, when special forces were selected, my brothers and I met, and my experience was very simple. ”

"Li Tie, it is fate that you and I can become a member of the National Defense Force, and fight for the country, come and toast to this fate." "Cheers!" There was a mess on the small table, and only a pile of skeletons remained of a roast chicken. When the train arrived in Xi'an, the brothers borrowed four war horses from the Xi'an military station, and because they bought a lot of things in Shanghai, they borrowed two more war horses to carry things. The brothers were about to hit their way when an officer at the barracks intercepted them with two rifles in his hand.

"Report to the sir, it's not safe on the road, please bring these two rifles?" The officer saluted. Ma Kai asked in confusion: "Is there still a bandit now?" The officer replied, "There are no bandits, but there are thieves who rob the road." They usually have three or five people who specialize in robbing scattered merchants. "Weishenme doesn't strangle?" Li Tie said dissatisfied. "Sir, the little thief is a matter for the police, and we don't have time to take care of it. However, most of the current police are leftovers of the former Qing Dynasty, and the police force is insufficient. These little thieves are entrenched on the mountain roads of the Qinling Mountains, coming and going without a trace, which is very headache. ”

Ma Kai took a rifle, Hula opened the chamber and glanced at it, "China Type 3 is a good gun!" Thank you! Ma Kai finished speaking, and his legs were forced, and the war horse rushed forward. If the little thief touches our brothers, it will be too much. Li Tie took the rifle and bullet and followed. The war horse trotted all the way and soon left Xi'an City. The mountain road is rugged and the vegetation on both sides is lush. Since the other two horses were carrying things, they did not travel very fast.

The two brothers walked side by side, and Li Tie said in a good mood: "Ma Kai, you said that what will happen to the little thief when he meets us, I don't want to kill people now." Ma Kai smiled: "I don't want to kill people either, and I will go home with blood." Okay, let's talk about finding a wife. "This is your one-third of an acre of land, and you can't break your word." "Li Tie, my eldest sister is 20 years old this year, and I'm afraid she has already gotten married. My little sister is 18 this year, if my little sister is not married, I will marry my little sister to you, how about it? ”

Li Tie's eyes widened and said, "Are you trying to take advantage of me?" It's an addiction to being an uncle! "Look at what you said, we are now brothers in life and death, and I still don't agree with that if we change someone else." "You waited for me to go through my brain, is it that your sister is not good-looking, and you forced it into me." "Look at your bear-like, you are not worthy of my sister at all in terms of appearance, the three flowers of our Ma family are well-known in Majia Town, before my sister got married, the matchmaker almost broke the threshold of our family."

Ma Kai said angrily: "You look at me as talented, handsome and chic, you say my sister can knock my mother?" Maybe my little sister can't look down on you, so let's play! "Hey, hey! I'm joking, don't take it seriously. The eldest brother is on top, and the brother-in-law is polite!. Li Tie clasped his hands together. You climb along the pole, I'm not joking, if my little sister doesn't agree, I can't force it! "Anyway, you can boast about your wife's affairs, look at it!" Brother, I'm just waiting for the beauty to return! Li Tie played Laipi.

The mountain road is crooked, and the mountain bell rings. The neighing of horses and horses brought out a caravan moving forward, and the banner in front of the caravan was marked with the words Hanzhong Commercial House, which was obviously a caravan from Xi'an to Hanzhong. In the middle of the caravan was a striking caravan, with its curtain open, and a couple of young women sat in the tent and looked around, admiring the surrounding scenery with great interest. The two women were dressed in a trendy fashion, one of them was dressed like a student, and the other was a slightly older woman, dressed in a foreign style, and her temperament was elegant and showed a good demeanor.

At this time, in the woods opposite, there were several bandits in ambush. "I've been fucking squatting here for a few days, and all the caravans I've encountered are back to my brothers' luck!" A man with a scar on his face lay on the ground dejectedly and muttered. "Big brother, don't be discouraged, God won't let us work in vain. Big brother, you have led a few brothers here to be happy for a year. The mountains here are high and the forests are dense, and the government can't help us, so we can't be in a hurry and have to be patient. A subordinate admonished.

The woman dressed as a student on the Pengche had a red face and a pair of eyes that were extraordinarily large, revealing innocence and immaturity. "Mr. and sister, the front is Panlong Town, and we will rest in Panlong Town tonight." The older woman retracted her gaze and looked out a little dissatisfied: "Sister, I said that I was called sister, what is the gentleman, how awkward is my sister." I've told you how many times I just can't change it. "Sister, although you are two years older than me, you are a gentleman after all?" Student woman quibbles.

This pair of young and beautiful women, among them the elegant woman is a teacher named Hu Mei from Xi'an Girls' Middle School. She graduated from Shanghai Women's Normal at the beginning of the year and returned to her hometown of Xi'an to work as a teacher in a girls' middle school. The big-eyed woman was her student, named Ma Lan, from Majia Town, Hanzhong. Ma Lan returned home during the school summer vacation, and it happened that Hu Mei was going to Hanzhong to collect style, so Ma Lan invited Hu Mei to take care of each other on the road to Majia Town, and Hu Mei readily agreed.

"Sister, is there something wrong with me going to you abruptly?" Hu Mei asked with some apprehension. Ma Lan said briskly: "Sister, don't worry!" My teacher came to the house, and my parents were so happy. As soon as the words fell, I heard a gaba sound, and the caravan suddenly tilted and stopped. Such a change frightened Hu Mei and Ma Lan. "The two young ladies scared you, I'm really sorry that the axle is broken!" (To be continued......)
