On the threshing floor, the torches were burning, reflecting the black crowd, Feng Ye stood on top of the big stone, he couldn't see the expressions of dozens of recruits, he could only see the crying crowd, that was the parents of these recruits.

"Folks, I came here today, one is not to levy Ding, and the other is not to levy grain; On the contrary, I have come to deliver food; To their families! ”

Feng Yi thought for a moment and spoke, first explaining the purpose of his coming.

"I know that they are not voluntary, they are forced, but I have no right to let them back; Because the devils have already hit our doorstep, the battlefield needs them, and all the Chinese need to pick up guns and fight with the devils. ”

Feng Ye shouted loudly, but the crying of the crowd below became louder, and the farmers shook their heads, as if they didn't want to hear Feng Ye say this, they wanted their children to come back now.

"It is everyone's responsibility to defend the land and resist the war; This is not just talk! The family has family rules, and the state has national laws; For us soldiers, there is also military law, and violating military law is the same as a dead word, and I am the same. ”

Feng pointed to himself, indicating that he had no privileges.

"I am from Cantonese, and at the beginning of the war I was a student, a cadet; This war is my fateful battle, because we have caught up with this era; I have been fighting on the battlefield for more than a year, this war is very difficult, very difficult, I can't see the hope of victory, I don't know when I will die, and I don't know when my hometown will become a fallen area, occupied by Japanese devils, what I can do is to kill the enemy bravely on the battlefield, kill one more devil, it will make my hometown parents and children a torture. ”

Feng Yi introduced himself, his voice a little lower.

"Here, maybe it will fall soon, the devil's soldiers are in Guangde, dozens of kilometers away, they may occupy here at any time, kill all the people here, and take away all your land, if you are a good man, it is better to die on the battlefield happily, and fight for your parents to have a chance to breathe."

These words were addressed to the people here, and at the end of the day, his hand was pointed at the recruits.

"The country is very difficult, but even so, there is a settling-in allowance for conscription and a pension for war death; You may say, this place has fallen, who do you want for your pension? I came today to tell you that I gave their pension in advance. ”

Feng Ye shouted.

"The standard of the Guo army, the pension for a soldier who died in battle is twenty oceans, today, I will give you forty oceans, so that you can fight with peace of mind, and your family can use this money to live a good life for at least a few years."

"Come on, get the roster!"

Feng Ye shouted.

"Fan Mu"

Feng Yi opened the roster and shouted.

"Here!"

A recruit strode out of the queue with tears on his face.

"One hundred and thirty pounds of rice, forty pounds of ocean."

"Ba Yuan."

"Here!"

"One hundred and thirty pounds of rice, forty pounds of ocean."

……

At Feng Yi's shouting, the brothers came out one by one and took a letter from Zhang Chuan's hand, and the heavy ocean pressed on them, but no one was happy, because they knew that this was their money to buy their lives.

"Now, please come forward to the family members who read the name!"

Feng Yi looked at the red cross on the roster, they were all brothers who died in battle, and he didn't know if the government would give them another pension, but he had to give them them.

Only one brother was killed in the battle of Jintang, but five were missing, and since he reported all the missing brothers as killed in battle, he had to send all of them down.

"Du Shan, Du Shan's family, please come forward!"

Feng Ye shouted, looking at the black crowd expectantly.

"Sir, Du Shan's house is over there, and he didn't come."

The chief of the security guard bent over and reported, he didn't expect that the first one was Du Shan, he was a strong laborer at home, his daughter-in-law was still pregnant with a baby, the elder was old, and there was a half-grown younger brother, and the chief didn't know how Du Shan's mother-in-law should live.

"Baochang Li, please wait and take us over; Dushan is my brother, and there is one thing that I must return to their family. ”

Feng Yi said silently, what he wanted to return was not anything else, but Du Shan's ashes.

"Li He, Li He's family, please come forward."

Feng Ye then shouted.

"This ......"

The chief hesitated, he wanted to plead, he thought that this chief already knew about Li He being a deserter, this was to give the candy and prepare to die?

"Sir!"

The two women walked out and knelt directly on the ground, their heads hanging down on their chests, not daring to look at Feng Yi, even if they were dead, they were not ready to say where Li Laosi was.

"Get up, get up, get up quickly......"

Kneeling on the ground with her head bowed, a woman's black hair was half white, and her skin was affected by the wind and frost, showing that she was not young.

"Help them up!"

Feng Yi alone couldn't help the two of them up, and shouted at Zhang Chuan and a few veterans.

"A hundred pounds of grain, forty oceans; Give it to them! ”

Feng Yi saw the two women stand up, covering their mouths with their hands, as if they were suppressing their sadness, and he didn't know what to say, so he directly asked Zhang Chuan to send money and food.

"Sir, my son ......"

The old woman with a weeping voice seemed to want to refuse.

"Li He, in the battle against Xinhang, fought bravely, and died in the storm, I was incompetent and failed to bring back his body; This is his pension! ”

Feng Yi shook his head and directly blocked the words of the eldest mother, he had no way to return the person, so he could only fight quickly.

"Brethren, there is only so much I can do, and tomorrow night I will come to pick you up, and I hope you will not be deserters; Now go home and spend time with your family! ”

Feng Yi waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Chuan to take people with him, he still had recruits to send in several places, and he had to finish it tonight, this would drag on until dawn, and I was afraid that the brigade commander should interfere.

"Battalion commander, do you want to send a few brothers here to watch?"

Zhang Chuan followed Feng Ye out of the village, and whispered in Feng Jie's ear that he was afraid that these people would disappear if they took something, and then Feng Ye would have no way to explain when he went back.

"No, I believe them."

Feng Yi shook his head and continued to shuttle through the night to the next village and town......

Until the sky began to shine, Feng Ye led more than eighty veterans to stand on the field, and in the east, the sun was gradually rising.

"Battalion commander, there's nothing left!"

Zhang Chuan looked at the few cloth bags hanging on the horse's back, listless.

"It wasn't ours in the first place, even if it was shipped back, it had to be handed in."

Feng Yi shrugged his shoulders and said that it didn't matter, those cloth bags were the ocean, gold and silver jewelry and other things seized in Xinhang, and at the end of the time they sent the recruits home, the food shone brightly, and in the end they could only make up two more oceans for each brother; Of course, Feng Ye doesn't have so much of the ocean, so he can only replace it with gold and silver jewelry, and he will give the brothers' money as long as he has it.
