The devil may arrive in the afternoon. At noon that day, Chen Haotian and the soldiers were having dinner on the battlefield. It was his habit to eat with the soldiers whenever he was fighting. Here was a frontal position, defended by three regiments.

"Brigade commander, can you eat these steamed buns, pickles, and dried chilies?"

A little soldier opposite Chen Haotian asked, his expression completely devoid of the awe that the commander should have.

Chen Haotian took a large number of the soldiers, who were short and about sixteen years old. So, I took a big bite of steamed buns, took a bite of chili peppers, and said while eating: "Don't call you, just say you, I'm not an elder, I will be called old." As for this steamed bun pickled pepper, it is eaten by people, and I can eat it if it is eaten by people. ”

The little soldier laughed and said, "The company commander said that you don't have a fight, it seems that he didn't lie to me." ”

Chen Haotian asked, "What's your name?" How old is it? ”

The little soldier replied, "My name is Xiao Wujin and I am 16 years old." ”

is so young, why did he come to be a soldier, Chen Haotian muttered in his heart,

At this time, another soldier said again: "You are the eldest young master, and your life is different."

When Chen Haotian heard this, he was a little unhappy, and said to the man: "In the army, I am your brigade commander, and there is no eldest young master."

Another soldier smiled: "I heard that the brigade commander likes Miss Lan, but people don't seem to like the brigade commander and like the small squad leader of the Red Army."

"Which son of a son made my rumors!" Chen Haotian threw the half-bitten steamed bun in his hand to the ground.

At this time, the three regiment commanders who were doing it on the opposite side lowered their heads

Chen Haotian immediately understood, pointed to the third regiment commander and complained: "You kid, I treat you as a brother, you are good, and you speak ill of me in the army."

The head of the regiment smiled and explained, "I also think of them as brothers."

Chen Haotian wanted to reprimand the third regiment commander again, but at this moment, a soldier ran over and reported to Chen Haotian: "Report to the brigade commander, a large number of refugees have been found ahead." ”

Chen Haotian immediately ran to the front of the position and watched with a telescope. It was found that all the refugees were helping the elderly and the young. They were slow, dusty, and depressed, as if they hadn't eaten for days.

When Chen Haotian saw this scene, his heart was like a knife. So he ordered the soldiers of the army to escort all these refugees to the position. Then tell all the other fighters to stop eating and divide the food among the refugees first.

After a while, these refugees seemed to have been stimulated by something, and they rushed towards the position as if they were crazy, and they all scrambled to be the first to eat, fearing that they would not be able to eat after they were afraid. It can be seen that these refugees are extremely hungry.

Those who are infirm, women, children, and the elderly are slow to move under the escort of their families, and their hearts are anxious. Some were even knocked to the ground and trampled on by others.

"Bang!"

Chen Haotian took out a pistol and fired a shot into the sky, shouting, "Stop!"

All the refugees were frightened by the sound of robbery and stood still and did not dare to move.

Chen Haotian ordered loudly, "The third regiment commander, lead people to maintain order." The elderly and children are preferred! ”

"Yes!"

The commander of the third regiment ran with a company to maintain order, called the old man and the child to eat in the first position.

Chen Haotian saw that there were many refugees, and his own soldiers did not have enough to eat, so he ordered to add stoves to cook.

At this time, Chen Haotian's expression was very different from before, more like a dignified brigade commander.

Refugees eat in an orderly manner. At this time, Chen Haotian found a very cute little girl with a ponytail, who was about to pick up half of the steamed buns that he had just thrown away because he was angry. So he hurriedly walked over and squatted down to snatch the steamed buns.

"Steamed buns, that's mine, I picked them up."

The little girl wanted to cry, but Chen Haotian broke off the soil on the steamed bun, bit it, and said, "This is my uncle."

After speaking, Chen Haotian went to the side to bring two steamed buns, handed them to the little girl, and said with a smile: "This is yours."

The little girl snatched the steamed bun and ate it in a big gulp.

"Ahem"

The little girl patted her chest hard.

"Take the water and boil!"

Chen Haotian shouted loudly, and then gently patted the little girl's back.

"Brigadier Commander, water."

A soldier quickly brought water over and handed it to Chen Haotian.

Chen Haotian put the water to the little girl's mouth and said kindly: "Eat slowly, my uncle has steamed buns."

The little girl took a sip and said, "Thank you, uncle."

Chen Haotian smiled: "The voice is so cute." Then he asked, "Little girl, where are your parents?"

The little girl was silent all of a sudden, with infinite sentimentality in her eyes, and whispered, "They are all dead, they were blown up by the big bird in the sky."

Chen Haotian was shocked in his heart, and then asked, "Are there any other relatives then?"

The little girl shook her head and said, "No, I escaped, and then followed these uncles and aunts here." Some kind aunts saw that I was pitiful, so they gave me something to eat. ”

Chen Haotian's heart shook again, and he thought of Lan Ling in his mind. Lan Ling's parents died in the war when she was so old, begging on the streets. When she was about to starve to death, she happened to meet her stepfather and took her in.

Chen Haotian then asked, "What's your name?"

The little girl replied, "Cheng Xiaolan." ”

"Chen Xiaolan." Chen Haotian laughed incredulously, he felt that this was a gift from God to his righteous daughter.

At this time, the signal corpsman ran over, saluted and reported: "Report to the brigade commander, the division commander told you to go to the division headquarters."

Chen Hao didn't look back, and replied: "I'm busy, wait."

"This ......"

The communication soldier is not busy looking at him, isn't he just coaxing the little girl?

"Tell the division commander that I'll be there right away."

"Yes."

The communications corps left.

"Do you know how to write your own name?"

"Hmm," the little girl nodded, "I can't write, but my dad taught me how to write names." ”

After speaking, the little girl used her stained fingers to write the words "Cheng Xiaolan" on the ground.

Chen Haotian was a little lost after reading it, and then asked, "Your parents are gone, would you like to be your uncle's daughter?"

The little girl was a little surprised when she heard this, and after thinking for a while, she said, "I do."

Chen Haotian suppressed his joy and said, "Shall we change the name?" Uncle is also surnamed Chen, but it's not your Cheng. ”

"Hmm" the little girl nodded, the corners of her mouth went up, and two small dimples leaked out of her big eyes.

Chen Haotian wrote on the ground and said, "It's called Chen Ailan, okay."

"Okay." The little girl agreed.

"Call Daddy."

"Daddy."

Chen Haotian was ecstatic, directly lifted the little girl to spin, and shouted loudly: "I have a daughter, I have a daughter!"

Both the refugees and the soldiers on the battlefield looked in this direction.

"Mountain baby!"

"Here!"

A warrior ran over and stood straight. He had two shell guns hanging on his body, which were Chen Haotian's guards, and his father specially selected them for Chen Haotian to protect him.

After Chen Haotian muttered a few words in Xiao Ailan's ear, he ordered Shan Wazi: "Take my daughter Chen Ailan to Nanjing and hand it over to Lan Ling." asked Lan Ling to take her to her hometown in Sichuan and hand it over to the old man. ”

"Yes!"

The mountain baby hugged Xiao Ailan, and after Xiao Ailan waved her hand at Chen Haotian, she said, "Goodbye, Dad."

"Goodbye."

After Xiao Ailan left, Chen Haotian walked excitedly to the division headquarters.

Chen Haotian adopted Chen Ailan for three purposes: first, seeing that she was pitiful and cute, he couldn't bear to let her drift in the troubled world. Second, take the opportunity to ask Lan Ling to leave Nanjing and stay away from Shao Fei. Three, Xiao Ailan is so cute and sensible, her father must like it. asked her to help her unfilial son do her filial piety.
