Chapter 25: A Complicated Situation

readx;

After the anger, he saw that Zhou Baoyu was trembling when he vomited, and he was a little unbearable, but he always thought that this simple and quick method was the best, and he did nothing wrong: instead of procrastinating, it was better to be happy!

Walking over with the gun and the package, he patted Zhou Baoyu on the back and asked, "How is it, are you comfortable?"

Zhou Baoyu turned his head to look at him, and was about to nod, when he saw the two corpses and blood stains out of the corner of his eye, and immediately vomited again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

You're reacting too much, aren't you?

Zhang Qingshan looked around and said to Zhou Baoyu: "Little ghost, the gunfire just now must have alarmed the enemy, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's leave quickly." ”

Zhou Baoyu vomited twice, but nothing came out, and when he heard this, he could only nod, but he closed his eyes and straightened up, but Zhang Qingshan obviously felt that his body was still trembling slightly, and he had no choice but to turn around and squat: "Come up, I'll carry you." ”

"No!" Zhou Baoyu forcibly stood firm, although he still closed his eyes and didn't dare to look around, he said firmly: "I am a Red Army soldier, I am not sick or injured, I can walk by myself." ”

Unexpectedly, the other party replied like this, which made Zhang Qingshan's heart happy, got up and patted Zhou Baoyu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay! Come, you follow with the box cannon, and I'll open the way in front. ”

Zhou Baoyu took the box cannon and two magazines, and when he saw Zhang Qingshan set off, he also wanted to follow, but his legs did not obey the call, he was extremely weak, and he trembled when he walked.

"Brother Zhang, I have no strength in my legs and can't walk. ”

This time, Zhang Qingshan showed extra care of people, and said lightly: "It must be that you vomited too much just now, your body has no strength, it's okay, I'll help you to the alley to rest first, and when you recover, we will kill the enemy together." ”

The two returned to their original alley and walked towards it. After going deeper than ten meters away, they came to a fork in the road, and Zhang Qingshan walked to the left without thinking about it -- they came from the road on the right side of the fork in the road, and now, the gunfire in front of the left was extremely dense, so he naturally wanted to help kill the enemy.

After walking for another 20 meters, I came to a dilapidated courtyard with a courtyard wall of less than 1.2 meters. Zhang Qingshan looked at the courtyard and found that the back door of the house was closed, the courtyard wall was empty, and there was a large pile of straw and some firewood on the far left, and he was about to continue moving forward, when he suddenly heard the sound of vomiting behind him, and when he looked back, sure enough, Zhou Baoyu vomited again. In fact, along the way, no matter what he sees, as long as he is stained with red, Zhou Baoyu will vomit once he sees it.

Zhang Qingshan didn't know that this was a joint reaction, because after he saw the corpse for the first time, although he vomited once, he didn't vomit again afterwards - he was fighting with the enemy on the battlefield at that time, and he didn't have time to think about these things at all, where could he imagine the bitterness in Zhou Baoyu's heart.

However, seeing that Zhou Baoyu vomited all the way, and his face was sallow, his eyes were a little scattered, and his body was obviously a little unbearable, and it was not suitable to follow him to the front of the gunfire to kill the enemy, but he couldn't leave his comrades alone, right? Looking at the pile of straw and firewood, he had an idea in his heart.

patted Zhou Baoyu's back, waiting for him not to vomit, Zhang Qingshan asked softly, "Little ghost, are you feeling better?"

"Yes!"

"Otherwise, you can hide in the straw pile in this yard first, and I will go to the vicinity to reconnoitre, how about it?"

Zhou Baoyu tried to straighten up, looked at the pile of straw in the courtyard wall, groaned for a while, and said, "Brother Zhang, I want to kill the enemy." ”

"At this time, I still want to kill the enemy, good. After touting it, Zhang Qingshan began to analyze him: "However, you are vomiting so much now that it is not suitable for ...... Don't speak, listen to me, this battle will not be fought, and there will be an opportunity for you to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. But now you have to take care of your body first, so that you can kill the enemy, and you can't kill the enemy with a soft body, right?"

Zhou Baoyu was really clever, and immediately heard the true meaning of these words: If you go to kill the enemy so softly, don't you want to endanger your comrades? It's better to hide here for a while.

Thinking that his current situation was not in line with the original goal of 'venting his anger to the poor', Zhou Baoyu's eyes were red, and tears began to roll.

Zhang Qingshan looked at it, sighed in his heart, and said, "Okay, let's go and kill the enemy together." ”

Who knows, Zhou Baoyu is so sensible, wiping tears and saying, "No! I'll hide here." However, Brother Zhang, let's talk about it, it's not that I don't dare to kill the enemy, it's that my body doesn't have the strength, and I'm afraid of affecting you. In the future, when I get better, you must take me to kill the enemy. I promise not to disgrace you and our Red Army. ”

"Okay! Immediately, he called twice to the courtyard wall, "Is anyone at home?", but did not get a response, Zhang Qingshan helped Zhou Baoyu, climbed over the courtyard wall, and was about to hide Zhou Baoyu in the straw pile, but heard the sound of the door opening, turned his head to look, and saw an old man and a young man, each carrying a musket, looking over with a little nervousness.

Seeing Zhang Qingshan and Zhou Baoyu wearing the uniforms of the Red Army, especially the five-pointed red star on their hats, the old man and the young man were obviously relieved and hurriedly walked over. Without waiting for Zhang Qingshan to speak, the old man handed the musket to the young man, picked up Zhou Baoyu, who was sitting on the straw pile, and said to Zhang Qingshan: "It's not safe to hide here, follow me into the house." ”

Zhang Qingshan was greatly moved: At this time, the town was full of gunfire, and to put it mildly, it was not known who would win and who would lose between the Red Army and the attacking enemy here. In case the enemy wins, to dare to collect the Red Army at this time is to gamble with the lives of the whole family. But the old man still did not hesitate to do this, this is a typical performance of supporting the Red Army, at the moment of life and death, how can people not dare to move?

After entering the house, the old man put Zhou Baoyu on a chair and shouted into the room: "Baby, grandma, go and find a set of clothes for the second baby to change into this doll." ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhang Qingshan again, and was about to speak, Zhang Qingshan hurriedly smiled and said, "Uncle, I'm fine, I'm going to go out to kill the white dog and bandits." ”

The old man nodded, picked up a cup, poured a glass of water and handed it to Zhang Qingshan. After Zhang Qingshan drank the water and thanked him, the young man who had been standing aside suddenly asked, "Is it a white dog or a bandit who is beating you now?"

Zhang Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the purpose of his question.

Needless to say, the situation in Xiangxi is more complicated than anywhere else, even in the face of bandits and officers and soldiers, in different places, this attitude is also a world of difference: in the countryside, the common people hate officers and soldiers more than they hate bandits, because because they are poor, some of their relatives and friends become bandits. And when they become the relatives and friends of the bandits, they will give them some help on weekdays, such as giving them some food during the famine, and even when the people encounter injustices, they will also help them to get ahead, and they will also ensure that they will not be harassed by bandits in other places, and in the territory of some large groups of bandits, even the officers and soldiers do not dare to bully people at will, and the people also voluntarily give the bandits as an eyeliner, and even willing to collect the injured bandits; while the residents of the towns, relatively speaking, are considered wealthy, and the officers and soldiers are bullied, but they can barely get enough food and clothing, and what they are most afraid of is that the bandits will kill people and loot, so the situation is just the opposite, and the residents of the towns hate the bandits more than the officers and soldiers。

If the bandits enter the town, the people in the town will take the initiative to help the officers and soldiers fight the bandits out of self-preservation, on the contrary, they are also out of the mentality of self-preservation: whoever pays taxes is paid, and there will be no trouble...... The reason why every household is now loaded with guns and bullets, but they do not attack, is because they still can't figure out whether the fallen people are bandits or the national army: the enemy who came in this time is definitely from this county, and they are very clear about the various rules and regulations: although they have entered, they have not robbed or even harassed a single family, and several hotels have been robbed (most of the hotel guests are passing by outsiders, and robbing them cannot be counted as robbing locals). But they didn't wear the uniforms of the national army or the township regiment, so that the people couldn't figure out who they were. To be honest, not to mention the common people, even the Red Army who fought with them, it is not clear whether these enemies are bandits or national troops.

"To be honest, I can't be sure. But when we came just now, we killed two enemies, judging from their clothes, they should be bandits, after all, the military uniform of the white dog is very recognizable, unlike bandits, who are dressed in a mess. ”

The young man's eyes were cold, and he grabbed the musket on the table and was about to go out, but fortunately, the old man was more calm and grabbed him: "Don't be impulsive, let's take a look first." ”

At this time, an aunt with old clothes walked out of the room and helped Zhou Baoyu change clothes.

Zhou Baoyu handed the box cannon and two magazines to Zhang Qingshan, but put the grenade aside: "Brother Zhang, I don't need the box cannon here, it's better to defend yourself." This grenade...... I'll keep it. ”

The meaning of this statement is obvious: the last-minute grenade, also called the glorious bullet, is used with the enemy. Zhou Baoyu said this, which is equivalent to telling Zhang Qingshan that he will never be a prisoner.

Zhang Qingshan respected his choice, patted him on the shoulder, and nodded.

"Uncle, my name is Zhang Qingshan, I am Zhang Qingshan, the captain of the second squadron of the second squadron of the Guitang Town Self-Defense Brigade, and this is my soldier named Zhou Baoyu. Zhang Qingshan held the captured baggage in both hands and said, "If I can come back alive, I will thank you very much, but if I don't come back, please take good care of this comrade...... This is the baggage I have just captured from the enemy, and there is some gold and silver in it, and I thank you in advance for your great help, so please accept it. ”

"Put away your stuff. The old man frowned slightly, and his eyes flashed with a little anger: "I saved you for the sake of your Red Army's sincerity and goodness to our people, not for these things." If you want to give me this again, then you can leave, I can't stand it, old man. ”

Zhang Qingshan immediately realized that his recklessness was a humiliation for the other party, and quickly apologized: "You are right to criticize, it is me who is wrong, this is an apology to you." However, I'm going out to fight now, and it's too much trouble to carry this baggage, you see......"

The old man grabbed the burden, put it on the grenade left by Zhou Baoyu, and said to Zhang Qingshan: "You just have to rest assured, as long as the old man still has a breath, he will keep this little guy safe." ”

After making amends to the old man for his sins, and instructed Zhou Baoyu not to run around and talk, to listen to the old man's arrangements, etc., he gave a military salute to the old man's family and said goodbye.

After leaving the old man's house for dozens of meters, Zhang Qingshan patted his head and said angrily: "Why am I so careless, I even forgot to ask about the old man's life." ”
