Ding De opened the drawer, took out a pocket watch from it, and played with it in his big rough hands. It was the only thing that was recovered from the deserter. Squeak - twist the knob of the pocket watch, rewind it, take out his watch, compare and adjust the time, then put it in his pocket and go out of the command post.

Except for the command post, which rented a courtyard of the villagers in the village, the hundreds of people in the independent regiment built dozens of new houses in the west of the village, and also opened up a playground. Ding Deyi walked around the area, and finally walked to the confinement cell.

Because he was coming from the side, Ding De saw a girl squatting under the back window of the confinement room from a long distance, and when he got closer, he saw that the girl was taking out a grenade, and immediately shouted: "Stop!

The sentry guarding the door in front was startled when he heard the sound, and when he saw that it was the political commissar, he hurriedly saluted.

"Get rid of your post. ”

"Huh?"

"I said that this post should be removed, and the confinement room should not be seen. ”

"Yes. ”

The sentry was gone, and Ding Deyi came to stand still before the girl.

The girl squeezed out a harmless smile: "Uncle Ding, I'm playing here, why are you here?" ”

Ding De bent down and took the grenade from the girl's hand and shook it in his hand: "Little Hongying, you can do it! Now you dare to call yourself aunt and grandmother!

"No, no, I'm playing at home, scaring and scaring him by the way. Hey, hey, hey......"

Ding De's face darkened: "Don't give me a hippie smile." Where did this grenade come from?"

The girl's big eyes flickered twice: "I'm from the runny nose...... borrowed. ”

Ding Deyi tried his best to keep his face black in order to maintain a serious posture: "I said Comrade Hongying, this is a revolutionary team, can you not give people nicknames in the future? Borrow it? Steal it? Now give me to the command post to face the wall!"

As soon as Ding De walked into the confinement room, he could hear the conversation outside, Hu Yi knew that this person who came in was a 'political commissar', although he didn't know what kind of cadre the political commissar was, but he must be the chief. Instinctively wanted to salute, but suddenly remembered that he was no longer a soldier, and he had already changed into coarse cloth civilian clothes, so he just stood up and looked at each other quietly.

Ding Deyi has participated in the team since the Red Army, and he is not only an old party member, but also a veteran, and has read countless people. Although Hu Yi was wearing ordinary people's clothes at this moment, he still felt a killing aura from Hu Yi's body, this kind of cold aura could not be pretended to be by blowing his beard and staring at his eyes, but could only be formed by the accumulation of blood and death. Seeing the Kuomintang deserters who forgot their righteousness? It's not that simple!

"Hu Yi, I'm sorry to have wronged you here for more than ten days, no way, this is a system regulation. The situation has been basically verified, and from now on, you are free. ”

Hearing Ding Deyi say this sentence in person, Hu Yi did not feel a trace of joy of freedom, but suddenly felt lost. This means that the task of escorting women that he set for himself is over, and from now on, he will have to start his rootless wandering again. Free? Where to go? I don't know!

After a pause, Ding Deyi added: "Oh, yes, it's yours." As he spoke, he took out the pocket watch from his pocket and handed it back to Hu Yi.

The silver shell reflects the light and is as smooth as a mirror. Hu Yi silently took it, clicking, in the crisp and pleasant sound of metal, the case jumped briskly. The dial is crystal clear, reflecting Hu Yi's confused face, 1:45 points.

"How is she?" Hu Yi asked without raising his head, looking at the time on the dial.

"Hmm, oh, Su Qing. She is not here now, and the organization may have to arrange a new job for her, which has not yet been determined. ”

Su Qing! It turns out that her name is Su Qing. She's her own woman, and she's not her own woman, and it's so bad that it's like a mess. Snap - Hu Yi closed the case and raised his head again to look at Ding Deyi: "Sir, I want to stay, okay?"

The regiment commander followed the soldiers leading the way in front of him and climbed to the top of the hill east of the village out of breath, but no, Liu Jianqiang was sitting on a rock, the butt of his rifle poking the ground, the muzzle of the gun resting on his chin, and his fingers piercing the trigger hole.

"You shitty runny nose, you're fucking endless, put the gun down for me!" the regiment commander roared at Liu Jianqiang with a blushing face.

"I don't care! My life was left by the Ninth Company, and the Ninth Company is gone, so I will return my life to the Ninth Company!"

"You bunny coward, I order you to put down your gun now!"

The regiment commander's tough attitude did not get a response, and Liu Jianqiang instead used his other hand to pull the bolt open and load the bullet.

"You-" The regiment commander was so angry that he didn't know what to do, when suddenly a few more people ran up from behind. Political Commissar Ding Deyi was originally talking to Hu Yi in the confinement room, when suddenly a soldier reported that Liu Jianqiang was going to Dongshan to find a short view, and immediately hurried over.

"Lao Ding, just when you came, you take a look at this bear thing. I can't control it, I can't keep it. ”

Liu Jianqiang has been in the army for a year, just eighteen this year, and he is still a recruit, in the cruel and bloody battlefield, many new soldiers who are not psychologically prepared will be impacted, and the psychological pressure cannot be resolved, and change their personality, or become paranoid, like a demon, Liu Jianqiang should be in this situation at the moment.

Political Commissar Ding patted the regiment commander on the shoulder, signaled him not to be impatient, and then walked slowly to Liu Jianqiang and asked: "Liu Jianqiang, even if you don't withdraw the number of the Ninth Company, but there is no company commander, how can it be considered the Ninth Company?"

Liu Jianqiang was stunned by the question, held his breath for a while and said, "I am the company commander." ”

"Well, even if the regiment commander and I agree that you should be the company commander, but there are no soldiers, what kind of company commander are you?"

Liu Jianqiang was speechless for a while, and pondered for a moment: "I can go and find it, if I can find soldiers, will you and the regiment commander leave the Ninth Company?"

The political commissar smiled slightly: "Okay, you can go and find it." ”

Looking at Liu Jianqiang's young back and hurriedly descending the mountain, the regiment commander asked the political commissar: "I said Lao Ding, are you really letting him continue to mess around?"

Ding Deyi sighed: "Nine consecutive miserable! This kid is stimulated." We may not have any fights lately, so find him something to do so that he doesn't have any more trouble. Besides, he couldn't find it. Do you say?"

A young soldier came to the confinement room, not tall, but with long legs, and there was a sense of agility all over his body, and he smiled shyly at Hu Yi: "Hello, my name is Ma Liang, I am a communicator, the political commissar is in a hurry, and it is too late to arrange, so I ordered me to settle you down first." After speaking, he picked up the futon on the bed in the confinement room and led Hu Yi out of the door.

On the way to the dormitory, Hu Yi asked about the little girl. In the future, he will become a comrade-in-arms, so Ma Liang has nothing to hide and answered Hu Yi carefully.

The little girl is twelve years old, her nickname is Hongying, and her parents are both old Red Army. Before the Long March, the army wanted to foster her like other children in the villager's home, but the eight-year-old Hongying insisted on running out and returned to the army, and arrived in northern Shaanxi after the Long March. After the army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, the regiment wanted to leave her in Yan'an and go to school with the orphans of the martyrs, but Xiao Hongying was used to being wild in the army, and she couldn't get along with children of the same age at all.

After talking about Hongying's situation, Ma Liang stopped and added: "She is the child of our whole group, and we must spoil her and get used to her." ”

Hu Yi smiled helplessly, yes, this dead girl has been spoiled to the house and uncovered the tiles, and she is used to becoming an aunt and grandmother.

Ma Liang thought that Hu Yi didn't believe it, and said: "Really, don't look at her small, sometimes she is more powerful than us recruits, and the shot is called accurate! If it weren't for the regiment commander and political commissar watching closely, she might have slipped into the battlefield." ”

Hu Yi is convinced of this, in the past ten days, the 'turret' in the confinement room has almost been lost several times, and today it was almost served by the little girl...... u
