Chapter 54: Old Wu

After the train stopped at Gongzhuling, Wu Qi hurried down, he was afraid that if he stayed on the train any longer, he would meet someone who would kill him later, and it would be over. So he got off the train, anyway, there was only one stop away, and it was a big deal to walk along the railway, and once he encountered any situation, he hurried to find more places to come, so it was easier to escape both offensively and defensively.

But as everyone knows, the place where he got off the car is more than 50 kilometers away from Siping City, and he has to go forward with wind and snow at night, which is really a good crime, but fortunately, this place basically belongs to the plain, there is no such thing as mountains and hills, it is almost a straight line, and it goes down along the railroad tracks.

The snow was very thick, and Wu Qi had a lot of clothes, and he was still carrying things on his back, so it was a bit difficult to walk and delay a lot of time. Waiting for the frozen teeth to tremble and finally walked to the place, the day was already dark, climbed up to the platform to see that there was no one around, he quickly found a place to sit and rest, this night tired him, fortunately young and good health, if this is changed to ordinary people, then it is estimated that he will not be able to walk, and he will freeze to death halfway.

Sleepiness and tiredness hit his heart at the same time, Wu Qi was about to fall asleep holding his bag, and suddenly was blown on his face by a gust of cold wind, which froze him, and then he reacted, he almost didn't fall asleep, and quickly walked out of the platform, holding the white snow with both hands and rubbing it on his face, he shivered from the cold, but he was completely awake. Snorting and looking at a somewhat unfamiliar place, Wu Qi slowly walked along the old street with his memory, going to his eldest brother Lao Wu's hotel.

Siping is the south gate of the northeast, but also a military center and transportation hub, the place is not big but there are a lot of garrisons, according to our current concept to calculate, that taxi five yuan want to go anywhere. This is the place where the big ones are.

The sky is getting brighter and brighter, and many shops on this street are opening one after another, and between the two old buildings, there is a hotel with this wooden plaque, called Aimin Hotel. This hostel opened relatively early, and it was cold in winter. At the entrance are hung with two old quilts as curtains, people have to open from the middle to enter, and there is a man squatting by the broken curtain at the door, holding his arms and smoking a cigarette, suddenly there are two more pairs of legs in front of him, and there is snow below the calves, but look at the color of the fabric, then you know that it is a military uniform.

Lao Wu first said, "Oops! He snorted, and then quickly stood up with the cigarette butt still on the ground and stepped on it with his foot. While raising his face, he smiled and said, "Where did the comrade call come from?" I want to live", but when I saw the appearance of the soldier in front of me, I was stunned, and then I reacted and raised my hand to grab Wu Qiyan's teeth and said, "Oops! Qi'er, why are you here? Oops! Why don't you say hello in advance when you're coming? Hurry into the house, how cold it is outside! Come on in! ”

Wu Qi's face froze, and he followed Lao Wu into the house, and suddenly a hot air flow rushed towards him, making Wu Qi shiver even more, and greeted Lao Wu and said, "Big, big brother!" ”

Lao Wu went inside and got a towel and came out. patted Wu Qi's body casually, and knocked off all the snow on his body. He pointed to a room in the corridor and said, "Qi'er! Hurry up and go inside to warm up, the kang made me hot, and I didn't eat anything in the morning, right? It just so happened that they were going to eat wontons last night, and I packed a lot of them and there were a lot of them that didn't get out of the pot, so I'll cook them for you now, and I'll eat them later! ”

"Medium, medium!" Wu Qizhan nodded tremblingly. His legs were like solid wood, and he struggled to move them, but he also rubbed into the room, and when he saw the hot ondol, he didn't even take off his thick clothes. fell directly on the kang, but he was able to relieve this breath, and he was frozen this night, and he almost didn't come over.

I don't know how long it was, but I heard someone greet him and say, "Qi'er? Ay! Asleep? Why did you kid run away from me? What's going on? Hey! ”

Wu Qi felt that his buttocks on the side of the kang were kicked, and he opened his eyes in a daze, he was tired, sleepy and hungry after walking this night, and finally focused his eyes on Lao Wu clearly, so he turned over and sat up and wanted to rub his eyes, but he almost shouted out when he raised his arm and it hurt, there was a dull pain under the forearm, and he was numb from the cold, and after the room was warmed up, it hurt in several places all over the body, especially the side of the face was a little swollen. His grinning expression made Lao Wu a little surprised, and with the steaming bowl, he asked Wu Qi, "What's the matter with you?" Why did you come here? ”

Wu Qi was a lot more sober at this time, and after thinking about it for a few seconds, he didn't tell what he had experienced, and only told Lao Wu that he was now in the communication class, and he usually sent letters to the squad leader everywhere, and he had a lot of free time.

Lao Wu was happy to say this, put a bowl of steaming chaos on the table, and said with a shy smile: "Oops! Are you okay with this melon baby? Now you know how to make your big brother happy? Yes! It's a good time! It's good to be a soldier! I knew I wouldn't dig when I was young."

Old Wu may be really old, this is obviously more grinding than before, Wu Qi looked at him chattering and became more sleepy, but after smelling the fragrance of chaos soup, he immediately got up and took a few sips of soup by the table, and then fished the wonton to eat. The wontons that had just come out of the pot were hot, Wu Qi stuffed them directly in his mouth, and when it was hot, he spit it out again, inhaling the cool air and grinning his teeth and eating in a hurry!

"Oh, you kid! Big brother just praised you a few words, look at your virtue? Like you haven't eaten? What is this? Pay attention to the image, it's a soldier! How bad it is for people to see! Lao Wu frowned when he saw Wu Qi's appearance as a starving ghost.

Wu Qi slowly chewed the wontons in his mouth, grinned and said to Old Wu, "What are you afraid of?" Have a meal at your eldest brother's house, can people still take care of it? I'm really hungry! But suddenly, Wu Qi remembered something, looked at Lao Wu and laughed, quickly threw down the chopsticks and went to his bag to rummage for things.

"Huh? Don't eat it? What are you looking for? Lao Wu asked a little strangely.

Wu Qiba clicked his lips and said a little anxiously: "Eat, eat!" Don't clean it up! I had something good for you, I almost forgot! As soon as the words fell, Wu Qi touched it, and quickly ran back to the table, put the things in his hand in front of Lao Wu, and he took the bowl and ate it again.

"What is this?" Lao Wu looked at the sobbing notes in front of him and asked Wu Qi a little strangely.

Wu Qi finally swallowed a mouthful, gasped and said, "Brother Li Huan gave it to me, I guess I asked you to give it to you!" ”

As soon as he heard Li Huan, Lao Wu's eyes lit up at that time, and he quickly grabbed the note on the table, and after unfolding it, he saw that it was a few special cigarette tickets, and Lao Wu didn't know what to say when he saw it, so he held the cigarette ticket in his hand and gestured in front of Wu Qi and said, "Oops! This one! It can be sold for a lot of money on the street! This is a special cigarette, a cigarette that can only be smoked by leaders, this Li Huan is too generous! Remember Lao Wu me! It's not easy, Qi'er, you have to follow others well, and if you mix well in the future, the eldest brother is counting on you to get some good things! ”

Wu Qi laughed bitterly a few times when he heard it, because the meaning of the letter was that he was actually just a bait, and the previous things were all done for the rest of the Five Elements Group to see, and Li Huan also deliberately went through the back door to let Wu Qi in, forcing those who planned to rebel to do it in advance. Wu Qi is not too worried about Li Huan, that guy's mind and means are cleverly tight, he shouldn't have an accident, but the stuffy melon and Chen Yumiao will definitely not end well, thinking of this feeling uncomfortable, he is not a ruthless person, even for the enemy, it is difficult to kill the killer, unless it is really urgent, Wu Qi can't help but feel a little more disappointed in himself.

The two of them were fine when they were in the grave team, because Wu Qi was an orphan, and the old Wu was old and had no children, so he naturally took care of the youngest, and almost treated him as his own child. In that room, Wu Qi was eating wontons, and Lao Wu was chatting about the past year, what kind of family was short, and finally it gradually came to his daughter-in-law Jiang Nan.

Wu Qi drank the last mouthful of soup, put down the bowl and wiped his mouth, sat upright and faced Lao Wu as if preaching: "Big brother, it's not right for you to say that, we are a new China, this is not the era of male superiority and inferiority of women in the old days, we now pay attention to equality between men and women!" ”

Lao Wu glared and said, "Equality between men and women? When did it start? Why don't I know? ”

Wu Qi thought that Lao Wu was pregnant with the kind of machismo thinking he had before, so he naturally wanted to preach to him, but then Lao Wu's words made him not know how to take it on.

"Damn, there's no equality at all? This little girl doesn't work! Let me do all the work, she will be responsible for the bookkeeping and accounting, otherwise it will be like the shopkeeper who shakes his hands, this is what you call equality? So my status is a little too low, right? Is this a struggle? ”

Wu Qi frowned and looked at Lao Wu, thinking about what to say, but suddenly heard Jiang Nan's voice outside the door: "Old Wu, who are you talking to about me badly?" Enough to live again? When the words fell, I saw that the door curtain was opened from the side, and a woman came in with her head down, it was Jiang Nan, Lao Wu's daughter-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, it's me!" Wu Qiyi saw Jiang Nan and quickly stood up and greeted him with a smile.

Jiang Nan was a little surprised when he saw Wu Qi, but then he smiled and said: "I said that Lao Wu is gone, and I thought he was lazy and didn't work again, since Xiao Qi is here, then I will be exempt today, let you be lazy." After finishing speaking, Jiang Nan nodded at Wu Qi with a smile, glanced at Lao Wu, and then turned to leave.

Lao Wu was stunned for a while before he sighed: "Oh, thanks to Qi'er, I instantly feel that his mother's status has improved a lot!" You can stay a few more days, and I can enjoy the blessings of my eldest brother! (To be continued......)
