Section XVIII

Li Wenguang and the two brothers of the fourth class continued to check the situation in the village, but they were surprised that the family that the stone saw was far from the only person who stayed here, a pair of old people who walked trembling slightly, a lame man with only one leg left, and a young woman with a little boy about two or three years old were all brought to the stone in the following time.

Looking at the eyes of these people full of vigilance and fear, the stone has an urge to hit his head against the wall, the reality is often much more cruel than imagined, the appearance of so many people also instantly makes the stone feel overwhelmed, plus the shouting in the inner room has not stopped since before, the stone only feels a headache.

After arranging the sentry posts around, Li Wenguang also approached the stone in a cold sweat, and asked uneasily: "Company commander, I have taken people to see the entire village, and there should be only these people." ”

Shi Qing's face suddenly twitched involuntarily and said, "Only these people?" Are there still fewer people here? ”

Li Wenguang heard the impatience in Shishi's tone, and when he looked at so many people, he also felt that his head was big, so he had to scratch his head and ask, "Company commander, what should we do now?" As he spoke, he involuntarily looked at the place where the shouting came from in the room, and obviously felt helpless.

The expression on Shishi's face was also uncertain, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked Li Wenguang: "How long does it usually take to give birth to a child?" ”

This question made Li Wenguang's eyes widen, and then the bitter look on his face became even worse, and he said helplessly: "Company commander, I don't even have a daughter-in-law, how can I know these things!" ”

"Then you've always heard people talk about it!" Stone said incredulously.

"Whoever has a child, the old man will not be kicked out of the country, besides, who will usually care about this matter." Li Wenguang also said quite depressedly, letting the stone get nothing.

Knowing that there was nothing to ask about this kid's body, the stone was no longer grinding, and walked quickly to the corner on the side, and asked a young and slightly older person in the fourth class, only a blink of an eye, that is, he saw the stone turn back with a gloomy face, and the situation was obviously not optimistic.

This also made Li Wenguang close his mouth knowingly, so as not to touch any mold, and just honestly waited for the order.

The stone didn't make Li Wenguang wait long, and after a solemn look on his face for a moment, he finally spoke: "Li Wenguang, you take two brothers, send these people to the temple behind the mountain first, and then go and report the situation here to the battalion commander." ”

When Li Wenguang heard the order, all kinds of expressions on his face were immediately replaced by seriousness, and he stood up and saluted and replied earnestly: "Yes, company commander, I will definitely bring people safely." After answering, he said with concern: "Company commander, aren't you going back?" It's too dangerous here, or I'd better stay! ”

Shi Shi was moved in his heart, but he reprimanded with a stern expression on his face: "Don't talk nonsense, do what you are told, and stay on the ground after you go back." ”

Just when Li Wenguang could only nod helplessly, the young woman in front of him who was holding the little boy suddenly said: "Sir, if I don't leave, you don't care about me, I will leave here if I die!" ”

This unexpected situation suddenly stunned everyone, and after glancing at Li Wenguang, Shi's gaze fell on this woman with questions.

A gray coarse cloth jacket made her figure look a little bloated, and a pair of rough hands that did not match her youth hugged the little boy in her arms, as if she was afraid that she would lose it as soon as she let go, and the tension and worry in her heart could be seen at a glance, and the facial features on her face were not as delicate and lovely as Wang Qianqian and Chen Yuwen who had seen before, but at the age of twenty-seven or eighteen, there were already some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and the hardships of life and overwork had mercilessly carved marks on her appearance. Now he is staring at the stone with a desperate look, without the slightest cowardice and retreat.

Shi had finally been tortured by "Chen Yuwen" a few days ago, and he had a lot of understanding of the difficulty of women, but now he looked at each other like this for a while, and then frowned and asked, "You want to stay?" Did you know that the devil is coming? Are you going to stay here and die? ”

The young mother said resolutely: "Sir, I want to wait here for the child's father to come back, his father said, when Hu'er can walk, he will come back to see us, Hu'er will leave more than half a year ago, but ......" Speaking of this, perhaps touching the sad place in her heart, the resolute young mother's voice was also choked up, and she secretly wept.

This action of hers immediately infected the boy in her arms, and she only heard a cry of wow, which was like thunder.

Listening to the child's cries, watching the mother's weeping in front of him, and the sound of the undulating wailing in the room, the stone felt like his head was buzzing inside.

"Sir, I can't go, as soon as I leave, my tiger will never see his father again! I beg you, sir, you can do it! The young mother looked at the uncertain look on the stone's face, for fear that the other party would come hard, so she cried loudly in vain, and was about to rush down the stone while holding the little boy.

This action really scared the stone, and he hurriedly reached out to stop it.

The pair of old men who were silent on the side also sighed when they saw this, and saw that the old man who had some difficulty breathing sighed: "Evil, what kind of soldiers are these two dogs called?" Why can't you even protect your wife and children? ”

Listening to the old man's words, Shi's heart moved, and he suddenly asked the young mother who was supporting him in front of him, "Your husband is also a soldier?" Do you know which troops? ”

"It seems that once I heard him say something like the 2nd Battalion of the 534th Regiment, by the way, his father's name is Fang Zhanyi, and there seems to be one less star on that collar than you, sir!" After Shishi's question, the young mother seemed to remember something, and immediately spoke urgently.

Stone heard but his heart chuckled, the 534th Regiment is not the main force of the 88th Division of the Ace German Mechanic Division, a few days ago I vaguely heard the battalion commander say something about the eight hundred heroes of the Sixing Warehouse, saying that in the first battle of Songhu, with a battalion of troops and tens of thousands of devils in a bloody battle, and finally evacuated safely, its heroic and unyielding wind shocked the morale of the whole army, and the stone vaguely seemed to hear that the 88th Division was also withdrawn to the vicinity of the capital with them this time to supply and as one of the main defensive forces. Thinking of this, Shi Shi's heart sank, if this is the case, this lieutenant surnamed Fang is probably more than lucky, otherwise how could he leave this orphan and widow alone? Thinking of the tragic fate of the mother and son in front of him who will be helpless in the future, Shi Shi's heart is sour, and he can't help but think of the miserable fate of his relatives who don't even know where their relatives are now, which can be described as sympathy.

Thinking like this, the stone face did not show flaws, and said as if he was groaning: "Is it the 88th Regiment of the 534th Division?" It seems that he has already withdrawn from the river to rest, thinking that the current military situation is urgent, and no one can leave the team without authorization, otherwise he will escape from the battle and be shot! I don't think it's as good as this, while the devil hasn't come yet, you first find a way to withdraw from the river and then inquire about the specific situation! ”

The reason why she stayed here and didn't leave was to wait for her husband to come back, but now that she got the news from the young officer's mouth, her natural thoughts were shaken, on the one hand, she wanted to cross the river to find it, and on the other hand, she was afraid that she would leave, but the other party found it.

Seeing this, the stone also made a look at Li Wenguang, this kid has always boasted that he is smarter than Liu Wenfeng, and naturally he is not nonsense, at least when he saw the expression of the company commander that had never appeared again, when he pointed at this woman, he also understood a little, and immediately stepped forward and interjected: "This ...... Our company commander is right, this devil is coming, and it's not a way to stay here and wait, no matter what, we can't let such a young child risk in the guns! While speaking, Li Wenguang's face bag also turned quickly, and he immediately said coherently: "Otherwise, you leave a note at home, saying that you have gone to Jiangbei, so that when Huzi and his father come back, he can also know where you are going and look for it." ”

When she heard that her child might take risks in the gun, the young mother was already moved, and Li Wenguang's subsequent words also made her last worries disappear, so she gritted her teeth and said, "That...... Then I'll listen to the sir! ”

When the stone heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately said, "Then hurry up and act quickly." Seeing that this young mother was about to come back with her child in her arms to leave a message or something, the stone pulled over Li Wenguang and said in his ear: "Send them to the back of the mountain first, and then let the old man allocate a little money and food from the military funds to them, this lieutenant surnamed Fang may have been martyred, how much can we help!" ”

Li Wenguang naturally knew Shishi's opinion, and immediately nodded and said: "Company commander, you can rest assured about this matter, the old man has a lot of things, and it is useless to keep the money anyway, just give them more." ”

It was just a pillar of incense, Li Wenguang and the others just packed up, accompanied by the other two brothers, and led these people in the direction of Fangshan, looking at their departing figures, the stone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and his mood also fell to the bottom with the shout that sounded again.

At this time, the middle-aged man also ran out in a panic, and rushed into the small room on the side, just when the stone didn't know what he was going to do, he suddenly only saw the chimney on the small house began to float into the air with a column of smoke, this discovery, suddenly made the stone frightened soul, can no longer remain silent, roared and rushed towards the room, while taking off the rifle, and shouted angrily: "What do you want to do?" ”
