Chapter 1: Reunion and Parting

Speaking Qiao Xiaojing, they completed the task of escorting Boss Wu to Yan'an, and according to Ah Xiang's original instructions, Qiao Xiaojing said goodbye to Zhou Weimin, the martial arts team of Hongfeng District, in Suide County, and embarked on their respective journeys home.

After dozens of days of traveling, Qiao Xiaojing and the others finally returned to the guerrillas in the small mountain village.

The heroes returned, the small mountain village guerrillas under the leadership of the captain and political commissar, held a grand welcome ceremony outside the village, everyone to Qiao Xiaojing, Cuiyu, Ah Zi and Dazhi, the big man responded with warm applause, the soldiers regardless of men and women, no one did not cast envious eyes to them, at this moment all the people naturally accepted the fact that Qiao Xiaojing, Cuiyu and the five of them are heroes worthy of everyone's respect, they have made indelible contributions and won praise for the small mountain village.

When Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu saw this scene, they suddenly felt like they were returning home and seeing their relatives. They wanted to rush over and hug each of their comrades, but their legs seemed to be filled with lead at this moment, and they couldn't lift their legs when they wanted to. Each of them had moist eyes, tears rolling in their eyes, and they almost fell down.

"Let's go," the captain and the political commissar shook hands with Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu one by one, and once again welcomed their return, Captain Wang saw them standing one by one, like wooden stakes, and said with a smile, "At the door of the house, what's the matter, are you still embarrassed to enter the house?"

"We ......" Qiao Xiaojing laughed out loud and said a little shyly, "We have walked too much during this time, and we only arrived at the door of the house with this breath, and now we see the door of the house, and we see the family, but we can't walk with our legs." ”

"What's the matter," the political commissar saw that Dazhi and the big man were also standing still, and joked in front of the soldiers, "This is to be coquettish in front of your family, do you want us to carry you back or carry you back?"

Everyone was immediately amused by the political commissar's words, everyone laughed, and many people pointed at Dazhi and the big man. One by one, they leaned back and laughed. Qiao Xiaojing and the others also laughed, and Ah Zi laughed the most, holding her stomach and squatting down. Dazhi and the big man were naturally amused, and they shook their heads while laughing, looking helpless and happy.

After some laughter, Qiao Xiaojing and the five of them disappeared unconsciously, accompanied by their captain and political commissar, surrounded by everyone, they walked across the small bridge at the entrance of the village with laughter and smelled the smell of cooking smoke......

When they came to the team site, the soldiers who greeted Qiao Xiaojing dispersed, and each returned to their respective positions, Qiao Xiaojing, Cuiyu, Ah Zi, Dazhi and the big man had no place to go for the time being, so they were taken to the team office by the captain and political commissar.

"To tell you the truth," the political commissar poured a glass of water for each of them, and asked with a smile: "You have been away for a long time, I talked about you with Captain Wang two days ago, to be honest, from the moment you left the small mountain village, we have never let go of you, and all kinds of worries and worries lingered...... It's finally back...... How's it going these days?"

"Indeed," Qiao Xiaojing said, "it's been a long time since we left here, and now that I think about it, it feels like a dream, as if it's not real at all." First of all, on behalf of the five of us, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the two leaders, as well as to all the comrades in our small mountain village who care about us, think about us, and worry about us. ”

Afterwards, Qiao Xiaojing, Cuiyu, Ah Zi, Dazhi and the big man all stood up, stood up in a proper manner, raised their heads with their chests straight, and neatly saluted the leader in front of them, expressing their gratitude and respect with the highest etiquette of a soldier.

"It's like a dream," Qiao Xiaojing continued, sitting down again, "We've been through a lot of things, and those things are like what happened just yesterday, things we never thought of in the past. These are the tasks that the five of us must complete, and no matter how hard and tired we are, we have to persevere......"

Speaking of this, it was obvious that Qiao Xiaojing thought of what happened when she went out on a mission, hardships, grievances, loneliness, etc., and suddenly had mixed feelings in her heart, so she couldn't help choking. As he spoke, he shed tears and sobbed, and spoke with a crying tone. In the blink of an eye, she couldn't speak anymore and fell on the table and cried.

What Qiao Xiaojing said, Cuiyu and the other four have almost experienced it, Dazhi and the big man are men after all, and their emotions are not fragile to that extent, although their faces are heavy and tears are shining in their eyes, but after all, they are not as fragile as Cuiyu and Ah Zi. Not only did the two not comfort Qiao Xiaojing, on the contrary, the three of them hugged each other and cried even more, which was really moving!

The captain and the commissar looked at each other, and both of them took a deep breath, shook their heads slightly, and still sat quietly. Dazhi and the big man are naturally very uncomfortable, what better way can they get rid of the sour water in their hearts?

"Go, pour them some hot water. A quarter of an hour passed, Qiao Xiaojing, Cuiyu and Ah Zi were still hugging each other tightly, their heads were facing each other and crying, and the political commissar really had no way to stop it in the face of this situation, so he stood up, put his hands behind his back, and stopped talking, just when he saw the big man staring at him in a daze, he asked him to pour water for Qiao Xiaojing and them.

"Alright, alright, alright. The political commissar saw that the big man put the water cup next to Qiao Xiaojing and them, and deliberately controlled his emotions and persuaded, "Don't cry, drink some hot water first, my voice is hoarse." All obedient, drink some water, drink some water......"

Qiao Xiaojing, Cuiyu and Ah Zi parted at this time, lowered their heads and wiped their tears, still sobbing.

"Alas," Captain Wang sighed and said, "We also know that it is not easy to send you out on a special mission, to endure a lot of hardships and suffer a lot of crimes......!

"Woo woo ......" Before Captain Wang finished speaking, an emotional exclamation had just begun, and then poked Qiao Xiaojing, Cuiyu and Ah Zi in the sad place, and the three of them cried again. This time instead of hugging each other, they didn't cry head-to-head, but lay on the table and cried.

It is not difficult to see from the constantly shaking shoulders of Qiao Xiaojing, Cuiyu and Ah Zi that their experience is so difficult, full of sadness and grievances. This is the wanderer who is far away from home, wandering around, suffering from white eyes, seeing all the faces, paying hard work that ordinary people can hardly pay, and finally returning to his long-lost home, seeing his long-lost relatives, and hearing the long-lost warm words, this moment no longer has to control his emotions, no longer have to pretend to be strong, and finally can release everything in his heart through tears.

Captain Wang stared at the map hanging on the wall for a while, sighed long, turned to look at Dazhi, the big man and the political commissar, and shook his head in the direction where the door was located.

Qiao Xiaojing, Cuiyu and Ah Zi stayed in the house, they needed such a catharsis......

About half an hour later, there was a sudden knock on the door, at this time Qiao Xiaojing and the others had stopped crying, just sitting and sighing and drinking water, and the voice of a female soldier came from the door: "Three heroines, the meal has been prepared, please follow me to eat!"

Qiao Xiaojing, Cuiyu and Ah Zi stood up and were about to go out, when they were all stunned, Qiao Xiaojing sighed: "This voice is so familiar!" Cuiyu nodded and said, "Yes, it's very familiar." Ah Zi was anxious, and said, "Don't you know who it is at a glance?" opened the door of the house, and it was their good sister Xiaoye standing in front of them.

Qiao Xiaojing, Cuiyu and Ah Zi shouted in unison, "Xiao Ye!" and hugged each other excitedly......

When they came to the team canteen, Qiao Xiaojing and the good sisters and brothers who knew each other before they went out to perform the mission were almost all there, and the good sisters and brothers led by Team Leader Hu and Chengzi were standing on both sides of the door of the canteen, looking forward to the triumphant return of the five heroes, including Dazhi and Big Man, to accept everyone's salute.

Qiao Xiaojing and Dazhi were close to the canteen, and they heard the crowd at the door of the canteen, laughing constantly, and there was a lively scene. As soon as they turned the corner, Team Leader Hu and the others saw Qiao Xiaojing and them, and suddenly the crowd rushed towards them.

When old friends saw each other, they naturally had a pleasantry, and half an hour later, Qiao Xiaojing and the others walked into the cafeteria......

After a full meal and a full meal, the recuperation was over, it was already evening, Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu returned to their original dormitory, and the others also went to the accommodation arranged by the team. For most of the day, for Qiao Xiaojing and the five of them, it was also like a dream, very lively, very excited, always chaotic, and it was always difficult for the heart to calm down.

In the next few days, as time went by, the popularity of Qiao Xiaojing and the five heroes gradually subsided, and the life of the guerrillas in the small mountain village gradually became their main color again, and everything returned to before......

One day half a year later, Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu were taken to the war room of the team headquarters by Chengzi Shu, first the captain had a conversation, and then the political commissar had a conversation, most of which started with the situation of the Anti-Japanese War.

Towards the end, Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi realized that the captain and political commissar thought that they had rich work experience, and wanted them to take people to the southwest, to the mountainous area not far from Qiao Xiaojing's hometown, to organize and mobilize the people there to resist the crazy revenge of the devils who had reached the end of the crossbow, and the most important task was to harvest and protect grain in the autumn, so as to drive all the Japanese devils out of China and make due contributions to the final victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

Qiao Xiaojing paused slightly, and finally accepted the task happily.
