Chapter 41: Seeing the Truth in Adversity

Xia Solstice helped them untie the ropes on their bodies.

Zhao Hong and the four of them were disheveled, their faces were bruised at this moment, and the whole person looked a little wooden and dumb.

Seeing their miserable appearance, Xia Zhi couldn't say anything more.

This is the reclamation area, it is not so beautiful here, and the cruel life to be welcomed here is that after leaving a certain range, no one can stop it.

Zhou Zhengan led his comrades to dig a pit and bury the male comrades guarding the monument with a sad and angry face.

A new mound of earth was solemnly raised next to the boundary marker.

In the past few years, the comrades who have guarded the boundary monument have sacrificed too quickly, because the foreign devils on the other side of the border have made small moves from time to time.

The wounded female comrade was bandaged, but she remained unconscious and had to rush back as soon as possible.

The four female intellectuals were scared enough.

There was no place for affluence when the camels came.

I can only take three female intellectuals back.

There was one person who couldn't go back.

But at this time, Zhao Hong and the others were already frightened, and they were holding the hands of those little soldiers.

"Don't leave us, please, don't leave us."

"We're not running anymore, we're not running anymore."

"I can't stay here, I can't stay here anymore."

The four female intellectuals cried heartbreakingly.

As soon as I saw this situation, I knew that I must not throw four people down, and I would probably have a nervous breakdown if I threw them down.

Zhou Zhengan jumped off the camel.

"Xiao Wei, you take them back, you are familiar with this road, I will stay here. When you get back, drive me over. ”

It's right on the border.

Anyway, they have to keep someone here.

Xiao Wei complained a little, the captain had been tired for so long, but he left the captain here alone.

At this moment, I saw that Xia Solstice also jumped off the camel.

"Go back, Captain Zhou and I are waiting for you here to pick you up."

Xia Zhi can't bear to let Zhou Zhengan stay here alone, this is the boundary, in case something happens, no one can guarantee it.

After all, the two are friends, and Zhou Zhengan regards himself as a real friend.

I've eaten so much of other people's food, I can't leave my friends here alone.

When Xiao Wei and the others heard this, their eyes couldn't help but feel a little more interesting.

"Okay, captain, then we'll go back first, and you and Comrade Xiao Xia will wait here for us to pick you up."

Everyone knows that the captain is different from others to Xiao Xia.

If they used to think that the captain fell in love with Xiao Xia, a female intellectual, they felt incredible, after all, the women in the city were coquettish to them, and what could they do.

Toss first place.

Although it is said that the ratio of men and women here is out of balance, for the four female intellectuals like Zhao Hong, it is estimated that no one will beat their ideas.

No one wants to marry a wife who comes home and tosses her face.

At this time, he suddenly understood the advantages of Xiao Xia, even they could see it, not to mention that the captain was still the captain, and he was really the first to strike.

A group of young men laughed and got on the camels.

Zhao Hong and the four female intellectuals also got on the camel with the help of the comrades next to them.

They left without looking back, never wanting to return to this place in their lives.

Everything here is a nightmare for them.

Zhou Zhengan and Xia Zhi waved their hands towards the back of the leaving.

"There was just a death here, are you not afraid to stay?"

Zhou Zhengan said while cleaning up in the house.

Xia Zhi smiled, rolled up his sleeves and joined the cleanup.

"Don't be afraid! It was our comrade who died, who left his life here forever to guard the border for us. I am not afraid of our comrades. ”

I've encountered this kind of thing in my previous life, and there is anything on the border.

She is not afraid of ghosts.

To be afraid is to be afraid of the living.

Qiao Wan used a broom to sweep away the fallen leaves next to the wooden house.

Zhou Zhengan has already taken off his outer uniform.

Hikari wore a green velvet coat underneath and chopped firewood there with an axe.

Xia Zhi took the firewood that had been chopped next to him into the house and lit the stove in the house.

The weather is too cold, this is not a nest, but this small cabin is leaking everywhere, if you don't light the firewood, it won't take long for the two of them to freeze to death, even if it is two or three hours.

The temperature has dropped to nearly 20 degrees below zero for the past two nights.

The cooperation between the two can be regarded as a tacit understanding.

Xia Zhi touched her stomach, she ate a bun, and she didn't eat anything when she went out, and she had already consumed it at this time.

Looking at Zhou Zhengan's back outside the window, I also knew that it was estimated that Zhou Zhengan was also hungry at this time.

Zhou Zhengan eats a lot of food, and he can eat several times more than others in one meal.

I rummaged through the cabinet against the wall, and found half a bag of flour, and a jar of sauerkraut and dried vermicelli, as well as some potatoes and cabbage.

There should be more than a dozen eggs in the basket, and at this time, they are all Huo Huoguang, and two or three eggs have been broken, and they are spread out in the basket like that.

Seeing the clean and tidy cabinets, Xia Zhi knew that the husband and wife who lived here should be hardworking people.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sorry, and looked at the boundary monument outside, in fact, there were several graves behind the boundary monument.

Those are all comrades who sacrificed their lives to defend the boundary monument.

They used their lives to build this line of defense for the motherland.

Zhou Zheng'an sweated, and carried all the chopped firewood back to the house and put it against the wall, so that he didn't have to go out of the house at night.

In fact, you don't have to go out at night, it's already the second half of the night.

I wiped the sweat from my forehead with a towel and saw that Xia Solstice was fiddling with batter on the fire.

"What is this doing?"

"You're not hungry, let's stutter, they won't be able to come for a while anyway."

It took a few hours when they came, I'm afraid it will take a few hours to go back, and it will take a while to pick them up by car.

Xia Solstice pointed to the cauldron on the stove.

There are two pots in the earthen stove, and the other pot has already cooked vermicelli, and after a while, fry a sauerkraut vermicelli, plus your own egg cake.

Of course, if conditions permit, maybe you can even make some hot soup.

As soon as Zhou Zhengan heard about eating, he immediately showed a happy smile on his face, which was as pleasant as if he was about to meet his lover.

The summer solstice can't help but be happy, and sometimes I can't understand Zhou Zhengan.

Why is Zhou Zhengan so obsessed with eating, is Captain Zhou also a foodie?

But whatever the reason, she was ready to fill her stomach and Captain Zhou's stomach now.

The hot omelet was served, and the sauerkraut fried vermicelli was set aside.

Summer Solstice also put the mixed soup into the bowl.

"I don't know how many omelets you can eat, now there are 12 sheets, I eat two, and the remaining ten are all yours, if it's not enough, there is still batter to make."

Zhou Zhengan stretched his neck and looked at the remaining batter on the stove.

"Otherwise, I'll do it all, I'm hungry, and I guess I can eat a cow."
