Chapter 228: Sending the Victims Off
The scouts made quick preparations, they took the lead in completing the pre-departure preparations, and in accordance with the instructions of their superiors, the units left in batches, and the reconnaissance company became the first company of their brigade to leave.
In order not to disturb the people in the disaster-stricken areas, Xu Heizi, the commander of the detective company, set the time for their reconnaissance company to leave in the early hours of the morning, and the people would not notice them if they went again.
In the second half of the night, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company silently gathered together, they did not make any sound, silently got into the car, and then drove away.
In the early hours of the morning, the sky was very dark, and no one could be seen clearly from a few meters away, and the car of their reconnaissance company, with two headlights on, was quietly driving on the road leaving the disaster area.
When their car was about to drive onto the national highway, the car suddenly stopped again.
"What's the situation, why did the car stop?"
Goofy squinted when he got into the car, and he was about to catch up on the way back, but the car stopped suddenly, which woke him up.
"Outside, it's full of people!"
Someone opened his mouth, and Gao Fei looked out of the car at this time.
I saw that on both sides of the road leading to the outside where their car was driving, there were people in the disaster area, and they consciously blocked the road of the car.
There are a lot of people, and they are also very miscellaneous, from seventy or eighty-year-old people to elementary school students of several years old, many people still carry bags and baskets in their hands, and some people directly hold a plate in their hands, which contains all kinds of food!
"Who told you about our departure?"
Xu Heizi was a little angry, he just didn't want to experience this kind of scene of being sent off by the victims, so he chose to leave quietly at night, who knew that in the end, the victims were still blocked, and the first thing he thought of was that someone would reveal the news of their departure.
In fact, Xu Heizi thought too much, the news of the scout's departure, even their low-level soldiers were not very clear, how could someone reveal the news?
It was mainly these victims who had long been aware that the troops were leaving in these days, so there were people who spontaneously organized to keep an eye on their movements.
Xu Heizi got out of the car and explained the situation to the victims.
The fighters of the scouts were also very well-behaved, and when the company commander did not give an order, none of them got out of the car.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the back of their car, and a woman carrying a basket and holding a child rushed into the back of the car, and he tried to hand the basket in his hand to the car.
"Comrade, you have all worked hard, this is my family'........."
Xu Heizi, the deputy company commander, found the commotion behind the car, asked the crowd in front of him, ran to the back of the car, he reached out and took the blue in the woman's hand, and said: "This eldest sister, our army has a rule, and we can't take a stitch from the people."
I saw that the eldest sister put the child in her arms on the ground, she endured the tears that were about to fall, looked at Xu Heizi who was tired, and bit her stiff Mandarin: "Leader, your help to our disaster area, we disaster victims have seen it, we thought that our homes were destroyed, there is nothing to give you, now, everything is fine, we also have food and clothing for the time being, we have to express our gratitude to you, right?"
Xu Heizi was a little embarrassed, at this time, I saw the woman squatting down and saying a few words to his child, and Xu Heizi saw that the child was kneeling directly on the ground with his legs.
Seeing the situation in front of him, Xu Heizi quickly put the basket aside, bent down to help the child up, and said to the woman: "This eldest sister, what do you mean, how can you let the child .........?"
The woman looked at her child, she didn't speak, but the child spoke first, he said, "Uncle, I was rescued from the water by you, and the uncle who saved me was also swept away by the flood because he saved me, and my aunt said that my life was bought by my uncles with their lives, let me .........."
Xu Heizi's eyes turned red when he said this, Xu Heizi handed the child to the woman again, and then picked up the basket on the ground again, and he said to the woman: "Eldest sister, I understand your intentions on behalf of the soldiers, but we still have regulations, you should take these things back." ”
"Leader, this is what we sent voluntarily, don't violate the law of your troops."
At this time, an old man, supported by two young people, walked over, he came to Xu Heizi, stretched out his trembling hands, grabbed Xu Heizi's hand, and held it tightly.
"The babies in the car, they are all good babies, they see our victims suffering, pity us, they came, they were reluctant to eat, they gave us their own food, afraid that we would freeze, put clothes on us, now the disaster has passed, the babies are leaving, we just hope that when these babies leave, they will not endure hunger and cold."
Xu Heizi looked at the old man's face, he didn't know how to continue, and in the face of the most simple people, he was also embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
And these disaster victims who saw them off only regarded Xu Heizi as acquiescing, so more victims surrounded them and handed the food and other things they brought to the car.
"Company commander, what now!" A platoon leader stood at the entrance of the carriage, looked at the crowded people, and saw Xu Heizi with a look of embarrassment and asked.
Xu Heizi was depressed for a moment and said, "Take it all, it's all a part of the villagers' hearts." ”
With these words, the enthusiasm of the victims was even higher.
To everyone's surprise, there were still people who carried a half-sized pig over, and with the help of two or three strong men, they forced the pig into the carriage.
Finally, the old man spoke: "Folks, everyone get out of the way, comrades of the People's Liberation Army, and their tasks, we will send them, don't stop them now!" ”
Seeing that the victims got out of the way, Xu Heizi was about to get into the car and ordered the car to leave, and those who saw off the victims looked at the back of the car in the distance and kept waving at them.
The soldiers of the reconnaissance company stood at the mouth of the carriage, looked at the crowd behind them, and did not know who shouted a salute, only to see the soldiers in the first carriage of the reconnaissance company raising their hands in unison and saluting.
The car finally drove to the intersection of the highway, and at this time, a pair of local police officers appeared on the side of the road, and it seemed that they also came to control the traffic situation because they knew that there were disaster victims to send them off.
The car stopped here again, and Xu Heizi ordered to take down all the things sent by the victims in the car, and in front of those police officers, all the items sent by the victims were neatly placed, and then Xu Heizi ordered them to get into the car.
"Comrade, please take this food back and redistribute it to the affected people, please."
"This comrade of the People's Liberation Army, this is the heart of the masses in the disaster area, isn't it cold to send it back like this, the hearts of the people?" The team leader of the police officer is not easy to take on this tricky job.
"Comrade, our army has the rules of the army, we can't take a stitch from the masses, this is the tradition left by the older generation of our motherland, we can't forget, and although the disaster has passed, the lives of the victims are still very difficult, so these things should be left behind, this is not what I mean, it is all the soldiers who consciously stay, and please understand our soldiers, this is their dignity, thank you."
In the end, Xu Heizi still explained to the police officers, and then he ordered the car to start and head north.
