Section XIX

The stone snapped, and although the rifle on his shoulder had been removed, he still maintained enough sanity in this situation and did not take any further action, he stared at the sturdy man in front of the stove, and a murderous aura involuntarily rose from his body. The movements of the man in front of him were too much for him to imagine, and when the enemy situation was unknown, he dared to make a fire, and when he thought of the pillar of smoke rising from the chimney, the face of the stone became more and more gloomy, and it was not obvious that he wanted to expose their whereabouts. What is this man trying to do?

The stone squinted slightly, as if as long as the strong man did not give him a reasonable explanation, he would launch a thunderous blow next.

Fang Aniu was also startled by the loud shouts of the stone, looking at the murderous appearance of this young officer, his hand picking up firewood also stopped in mid-air, his face showed a look of excitement and worry, and his demeanor was also very flustered and eager at this moment, and he already didn't know what to do next.

In the crackling sound in the stove hall, Fang Aniu finally seemed to think of something, and suddenly said with a complicated expression on his face: "Sir, Aunt Zhou said that she is about to give birth, let me quickly boil the water and prepare." ”

Shi Shi said coldly, "Do you know what you're doing?" If this smoke is seen by the devils, all of us here will die! ”

Fang Aniu was taken aback, and the firewood in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, and he suddenly said eagerly: "Long ...... Sir, I, I didn't mean to...... Either so, sir, you should go first. ”

Shi looked at the other party's eager appearance, it didn't seem to be pretending, and the strong killing intent was also a little lighter, but he still kept enough vigilance to stare at the other party, and seemed to have some concerns, and his actions like this also made Fang Aniu very anxious, holding Chai He and letting it go, not letting it go, and his face was suddenly full of pleading looks.

For a long time, looking at the stone still without making a sound, listening to the burning sound in the belly hall had almost disappeared, Fang Aniu finally held back his sweat, and couldn't help but say, "Sir, I'm ...... I'm afraid Aunt Zhou can't wait! As he spoke, he also looked at the stove, and the original bright and prosperous situation had disappeared.

Shi Shi was also in a hurry, considering that this strong man's actions were likely to attract devils, he had the idea of immediately retreating to Fang Shan with the remaining brothers, after all, the risk of staying here was too great, once the devils really came over suddenly, their chances of survival were really slim. But when I think of them leaving, if the devil comes, the family will definitely die, the stone is still a little unbearable, no matter what, their brothers still have weapons in their hands, and they can still fight a bloody battle when they encounter the devil, what do these defenseless people do to fight hard?

Looking at Fang Aniu's extremely eager face, listening to the faint cry of pain from the next room, Shi Ye finally made up his mind, and he turned around without saying a word and left this small room.

His actions undoubtedly made Fang Aniu very happy, and in the stove hall that had stopped for a moment, piles of firewood were also added in an instant, and a raging flame was ignited again.

This kind of waiting lasted for several hours, during which in order to maintain the temperature of the water, Fang Aniu lit a fire several times, which made the stone speechless, but since he had made a choice, in order to practice the responsibility of defending the country and protecting the people, he naturally couldn't say anything, so he could only acquiesce to the other party's actions.

It wasn't until dusk, when the stone was cowering in the corner of the wall and almost asleep, that suddenly there was a crisp cry, which was different from the sound heard all day, and it was so crisp and loud that you knew it was a baby's cry.

Almost at the same time, Fang Aniu, who had been busy, shouted excitedly: "Son, it's a son, I have a son, hahahaha......"

The stone jumped up from the corner of the wall, and rushed towards Fang Aniu quickly, not caring about saying anything at all, but asked eagerly, "How is the situation?" When can I go! ”

Fang Aniu didn't seem to find out until this time that the young chief hadn't left at all, and when he was extremely excited at the moment, he was also greatly moved, and immediately said gratefully: "Sir, you haven't left?" Are you all around here? ”

Shi frowned and reprimanded: "There's no time to talk nonsense now, while it's not dark yet, quickly retreat to the mountain, it's too dangerous to stay here." ”

Fang Aniu seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on his head, and his excited mood was also calmed down a lot, but thinking of his newborn son and his wife, who was weak and couldn't move at all, his face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, he rubbed his hands very anxiously, and said intermittently: "Sir, I'm afraid it's not convenient now, my wife can't move now, oh...... Oh yes, I've got to get some water to ......."

Shi Shi's eyes widened when he heard this, and he almost wondered if he had heard it wrong, after waiting for such a long time, the child had already been born, and he couldn't leave? Seeing that it would not be long before it would get dark, Shi Shi's heart was even more anxious, and his expression became ugly and abnormal when he saw the other party getting busy again without any scruples.

Looking at the sky, Shi knew that he really couldn't stay any longer, the weather in this area of the capital was cold and scary after nightfall, and they had eaten a few bites of fried cakes all day, it was obviously not possible to go on like this, besides, the other party's procrastination and delay also made Shi a little annoyed in his heart, after all, he took his brothers to adventure here, or for the sake of the other party, but how much did the other party think about such and such a way for them?

Just when Shi Shi thought about it and made up his mind to retreat, in the direction of the east of the village, a hurried shout suddenly came: "Company commander, devil, there are devils!" ”

The stone was shocked, but he didn't expect that he was afraid of something, and suddenly he couldn't help but shudder, and rushed towards the place where the voice sounded, and asked sharply at the same time: "You read it right?" ”

Shi only knew that he was a squad leader of the 159th Division before, and the troops fought with the devils in the Luodian area almost completely wiped out, he was one of the few people who fought a bloody way out of the pile of dead people, and he rarely spoke, and seemed quite steady. They had been on guard on the eastern side of the village, not wanting to find out about the situation when they were about to retreat.

After hearing Shishi's rhetorical question, he also gritted his teeth and said: "I can't be wrong with the company commander, even if these Oriental little devils pick up the skin, I can recognize it." ”

In fact, after hearing Chen Pi's voice, Shi already knew that there could be no mistake, and his rhetorical question was just a kind of instinctive rejection in his subconscious, and now when he heard these words again, he immediately fell silent, and rushed all the way towards the east of the village.

Behind a thatched house, he and Chen Pi poked their heads out, and saw a shocking scene, only to see the river in the distance outside the village, and the first thing that caught their eyes was a dozen horses, and they could vaguely see a person sitting on each horse, crossing the river one by one. Because they are too far away, they can't be seen too clearly, of course, the steel helmets on their heads and the yellow military uniforms on their bodies are still quite eye-catching.

Stone was horrified in his heart, and involuntarily blurted out: "Cavalry? ”

Chen Pi on the side just nodded, did not answer, the rifle in his hand stretched out from the side, as if ready to shoot the enemy at any time, at this moment, the calm atmosphere of the rest of the battle is undoubtedly revealed, in this case, there is no cowardice and retreat plan, this alone can be seen from the Songhu battlefield, there are indeed outstanding.

However, the stone pressed the muzzle of his gun down, and shook his head slightly, signaling him not to be impatient, the appearance of the devil certainly frightened him, but what made him glad was that the number of the other party was not too much, they finally still had the strength to fight, but what to do next, I really have to think about it seriously, after all, this time the enemy is cavalry, and its ability to move is far from being comparable to them, not to mention anything else, just retreating, that is, they can't catch up at all.

At this time, the devils in the distance seemed to have discovered something, and vaguely stretched out their fingers towards the place where they were, and the second and third horsemen who had already crossed the river also began to speed up towards them.

Shi Shi and Chen Pi were taken aback, thinking that their whereabouts had been exposed, and when they retracted behind the wall, when Shi saw the smoke wafting on the roof somewhere in the village, he suddenly felt that he couldn't cry or laugh, could that Fang Aniu be boiling water again? What the is this, it's still messing around! It's good now, if the devil really finds out, this battle is inevitable.

The expression on the stone's face was also uncertain, and after the wry smile, his brain was spinning rapidly, but the time left for him was too short, and it was difficult to come up with any foolproof plan at once, facing the enemy cavalry that was already not far from them, he could only quickly say to Chen Pi on the side: "Except for one person left in the west of the village, all the other sentry posts have withdrawn to the surroundings of Fang Aniu's house. ”

Chen Pi nodded and asked, "Company commander, when will you start firing?" ”

"Don't wait for my order, wait for the devil to enter the encirclement, and then do it, how many can be killed!" The stone said in a deep voice, his tone full of solemnity.

Chen Pi didn't dare to hesitate, and after hearing the order, he quickly retreated back towards the village with a hunched body.

Keeping his eyes back on the devils outside the village, Shi Shi took a deep breath and said with a silent sigh: "After waiting for so many days, these ghosts are finally here. At this time, it was only three or four days before they withdrew to the capital to rest, and the prelude to the battle was slowly opened again in this rapid and tense situation.
