Chapter Seventy-Three: The Final Victor (34)
Huo Zhongliang descended from the city wall along the steps and approached the old woman step by step.
He was dressed in a straight military uniform, shiny leather boots, and a pistol in his hand that had not completely dissipated the smoke of gunpowder, his expression was serious, and his temperament was solemn, and the onlookers were holding their breath, worried that this person would kill the old lady with one shot. There are also people who are always ready to rush up as soon as this Qiu Ba shoots, and they must rush out of the door.
The atmosphere instantly became solemn.
A few young men who had gone to open the gates of the city took their hands back and carefully moved them to the side.
Everyone is convinced that these Qiu Ba are unreasonable and ready to shoot at any time, and it is better to be careful when the gun shoots the first bird.
When the old lady had finished shouting that sentence, she almost fainted with fright when she saw the officer coming straight and over, and the little granddaughter clung to the placket of her grandmother's clothes, staring at the person who came by with clear eyes.
Huo Zhongliang squatted down and suddenly picked up the little girl.
Someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Don't ......"
Huo Zhongliang had already picked up the little girl, and he had turned it up a few times, the little girl giggled, and the old woman was full of tears: "Sir, the old woman's son is sick and dead, and the daughter-in-law is gone, leaving this little granddaughter, please ask the chief for mercy." ”
Huo Zhongliang smiled and teased the little girl: "Is it okay for uncle to go to your house to live." As he spoke, he lifted the little girl up again, let her ride on her neck, and shook it a few times, and the little girl clapped her little hands happily and laughed: "It's fun, it's fun, uncle is so good!" ”
This child lost her father at a very young age, and has always envied other people's children for having fathers, and she also saw other children being held by their fathers, riding on their father's neck, envious and jealous, and she never thought that one day she could be like this, and happily shouted to her grandmother: "Grandma, let this uncle live in our house." ”
When the old lady heard this, she trembled: "Sir, this is unacceptable, we, a poor girl from a small family, have soiled the chief's clothes. ”
"Old man, from today onwards, I will go to live at your house, I will eat whatever you eat, and I will drink whatever you drink. We share weal and woe, and even if there is a plague in this city, I will be with your grandparents. If something happens, I'll die first, what do you think? ”
The old lady was dumbfounded: "What? Live in my house? Sir...... This ......"
Everyone was stunned.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my brother is from the garrison headquarters and is responsible for security in the city." Huo Zhongliang held the little girl and turned to everyone, "I don't think everyone should rush out of the city, you have read today's newspaper, I have two points to clarify, one is about the problem of the female madman at the gate of the second female middle school, the female madman bites because she is crazy, but the death of the three students and the nurse was caused by a female student poisoning the water." The girl had a conflict with two other female classmates, and took advantage of the classmate's hospitalization to poison a nurse, which is not a plague. As for the problem of Akiba Village, a large factory outside the city, as mentioned in the newspaper, it is indeed because of the epidemic, and the place has been locked down, so you are the safest in the city. ”
With that, he looked around at the crowd.
Someone shouted: "Liar, will the city be safe?" There are so many people in the city, and if there is a problem, we have nowhere to escape. ”
"There is no need to escape, because I will always be with everyone, I will go to this grandma's house to live, and their grandchildren to eat and live together, epidemics, everyone also knows, it has always been the strong people who are the first to be recruited, if there is really something in the city, I and everyone live in the same environment, and the body is stronger than most people, and I am the first to have an accident. Once I have something, the headquarters will arrange for everyone to evacuate in an orderly manner, and will arrange an evacuation location for you, but I can guarantee that this kind of thing is impossible, as long as everyone insists on checking the well water every day and boiling water to drink. ”
He bowed his head and said to the old woman, "Grandma, let's go home." ”
The old woman was flattered, agreed, and turned to walk on.
She is illiterate, but after all, she is an elderly person, and she has decades of life experience, and she can see that this officer is a big man, since people are not afraid of such a big official, what are she afraid of? After all, it is difficult for a person of her age to survive with her granddaughter out of the city, so it is better to hug this chief's thigh and gamble, if everyone survives, the little granddaughter will have something to rely on in the future.
"If you don't believe me, go with me to the old man's house to have a look, and you are welcome to supervise me at any time in the future to see if I really live in this grandma's house. How is it? ”
The onlookers had the audacity to shout: "Go, go, who is afraid of whom." ”
Naturally, a few of these people were placed in the crowd by Huo Zhongliang, and they followed suit.
The crowd quickly flashed a way for Huo Zhongliang and the old woman, standing high and looking far away, the little girl sat on Huo Zhongliang's neck, her vision was very good, and she clapped her hands happily and shouted: "Great, great, uncle, run." ”
The old woman turned around helplessly: "This child ......"
Huo Zhongliang really ran, the little girl giggled, and her little hands kept waving.
Ye Liang stood behind everyone, watching this scene from a distance, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"I really can't imagine that Chief Huo will use this method."
Xiao Wu had a look of surprise on his face.
"You think he's going to shoot someone?" Ye Quan shook his head, "You don't know him too well, he usually does things vigorously and ruthlessly, in fact, his heart is very soft, the so-called use of thunderbolt means to show the Bodhisattva's heart, no matter how tough his approach is, it is for the country and the people in his heart, and these people are composed of such old women and little girls, one of them is an old leaf that will fall, and the other is a new shoot, all of whom he wants to work hard to protect." ”
Xiao Wu glanced at Ye Liang and lowered his head.
At this moment, his heart was full of bitterness, and he could not say what he saw underwater. Ye Quan is arrogant, the first time I heard her speak so highly of a man, the bystander is clear, from his point of view, he can see that Ye Limit's feelings for Huo Zhongliang are different, if she knows that terrible future, can she stand it? No matter how hard your heart is, there is a soft place that needs to be cared for.
"Let's go along and have a look." Xiao Wu hurriedly changed the subject.
Now there is such a strange scene on the street: a fully armed officer in military uniform and leather boots strides ahead, and on her shoulder sits a little girl dancing with her hands. Behind the officer was an old woman in tattered clothes with a sad face, and behind them, hula la was followed by many people. This scene is really wonderful, who has ever seen a Qiu Ba officer treat a poor child so gently?
Some reporters passing by took out their cameras to take pictures, and some people pulled people to ask what happened.
The soldier who was mixed in with the pedestrian began to talk about what had just happened, and finally added: "This chief said that he will always live in this grandma's house, and we will all go to witness and recognize the door of grandma's house, hey, are you a reporter?" It's better to go together and be an overseer. ”
