After lunch, Wu Tianyue and Zhao Fei took two squads of soldiers to various nearby villages and summoned the young people of the village to the west of the station to build a temporary shelter.

Shao Fei and Liu Mengtong took the special combat team to various towns to find the families of their fallen comrades-in-arms and give them bereavement.

Zhao Fei came to Shimen Village first, after all, the troops have been stationed here for a period of time, and they are familiar with the place and people, so they are easy to carry out their work.

Zhao Fei asked Li Cunzi to summon the villagers to come to the central open space. Villagers stood in the clearing, and they were talking about each other.

Wu Tianyue took the lead in standing up and explained her intentions: "Folks, be quiet!" ”

The villagers were a little quieter.

Wu Tiantian continued: "We came here this time to gather some young men to go into the mountains with us, and rebuild houses on the west side of our station and on the mountains for the villagers to take shelter in. ”

A villager was very puzzled and asked loudly in the crowd: "We live well in the village, why do we need to build a house?" What does it mean to be sheltered? ”

Li Cunzi waved his hand and signaled: "Be quiet, let the comrades of the Eighth Route Army finish their words first." ”

Zhao Fei stepped forward and patted Wu Tianyue, and said, "I'll talk about it." ”

Zhao Fei stood in front of Wu Tianyue, and many people said: "The devil will have a big sweep not long after. As long as it is not under their control, and the villages near our base will suffer. I am for the safety of my fellow villagers, and I have our Eighth Route Army to protect you. When the time comes, take all the food, the main goods, into the mountains, and leave nothing for the devils. ”

One of them asked, "What about the houses in our village?" ”

Zhao Fei replied: "The house is gone, we are building, and if the people are gone, it is really gone." After the devil leaves, our troops will help build it together. ”

Someone else asked: "I heard that the devil is very powerful, and hundreds of thousands of them have been beaten out of Shanxi." Can you protect us? ”

Zhao Fei replied loudly with confidence: "I, Zhao Fei, never say big things, and I don't dare to guarantee anything." But! If the devil wants to harm the people, he must step on the corpse of our Eighth Route Army! ”

"Good!" Village Chief Li took the lead in applauding, and all the villagers also applauded.

After the end, nearly 300 people were gathered in Shimen Village, and to Zhao Fei's surprise, many women or elderly men with physical strength were willing to go into the mountains, after all, for their families.

Shao Fei led people to the outside of the town where Liu Mengtong was, Liu Mengtong went into the town first, looking for his father, and Shao Fei followed.

In the town, Shao Fei kept looking for people to fight the residences of these sacrificed comrades, and the security team that was caught in the mountain had a total of 22 people, and 5 people died in that battle.

Shao Fei led the special combat team to a house, which was very dilapidated.

After entering the courtyard, there was no one in the courtyard, and Shao Fei shouted: "Is there anyone at home?" ”

At this time, a woman of seventeen or eighteen years old came out of the main house, and saw a group of strangers standing in the courtyard, a little cowering and timid, and the woman asked in a low voice, "Who are you?" ”

Shao Fei stepped forward and asked kindly, "Is this Li Guang's family?" ”

The woman nodded against the doorrail, and then asked in a low voice, "What are you looking for him, my brother is already dead." ”

Shao Fei was a little puzzled, and asked casually, "How do you know that your brother is dead?" ”

The woman replied: "He became a Han J and was captured by the Eighth Road, so he should have been shot." ”

Shao Fei sighed, and just as he was explaining his intentions, a man's weak voice came from the main room: "Hua, who is coming." ”

The woman turned around and replied, "Dad, there are many people looking for my brother." ”

At this time, the sound of a man coughing several times came from inside the house.

Shao Fei stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with your father?" ”

"Since my brother was arrested, my father was worried that my brother would be sick. Because my brother is helping the devil and is Han J, the neighbors are unwilling to help us, and our family is ...... now."

The woman said, leaving tears in her eyes.

Shao Fei turned around and ordered, "You guys are waiting in the courtyard." ”

After speaking, Shao Fei and the woman entered the house together.

Inside the house, a man in his fifties with a wrinkled face was lying on the bed, with a sense of vicissitudes on his face, covering him with two layers of shabby quilts, and placing this porcelain jar next to the bed for spitting on the man.

After Shao Fei entered the house, a strange smell of sour rot came to his nose, Shao Fei walked to the edge of the bed and sat aside, and greeted: "Hello, fellow." ”

The man wanted to get up, but Shao Fei immediately pressed him gently: "Don't get up, just lie down." ”

The man's voice became a little hoarse because of his long-term cough, and he asked Shao Fei: "Who are you, what are you doing with that untalented bastard in my family?" ”

Shao Fei turned his head, didn't know how to speak, and said after calming down: "Li Guang is good, not Han J, he is a hero of the anti-Japanese resistance." ”

"What did you say!?" The man was very surprised when he heard this, and his emotions became excited, and he said, "Don't talk nonsense to the old man, comfort me with these words." He's Han J, and the whole town knows it. ”

"Not really, sir." Shao Fei looked ashamed and patiently explained: "I am the Eighth Route Army, and I captured your son at the beginning. After joining the army, Comrade Li Guang voluntarily joined the Eighth Route Army. ”

"What you say is true." The man's eyes lit up, and he showed a look of relief.

"Hmm" Shao Fei nodded, his face sank, and he said in a heavy tone: "But in the last battle, Li Guang sacrificed in order to cover the logistics and the female soldiers of the medical team. ”

"My son~" The man's tears flowed down his eyes, his sad eyes looked at Shao Fei, and suddenly his expression changed and said: "Okay, good, at least he died by beating devils, not when Han J was destroyed by you." I knew he would have such a day in the morning. ”

"Old man, mourning and change." Saying that, Shao Fei said apologetically: "I'm really sorry. He shouldn't have been called to the battlefield, but I and the main company were not at the garrison at that time, otherwise what would not have happened later. ”

"I don't blame you, I don't blame you. Kill the devil ......"

The man was so grief-stricken that he couldn't speak.

Shao Fei looked at the man's expression, his heart was sour, and his eyes began to turn red. stood up, took out 5 pieces of ocean from his pocket, and handed them to the woman behind him.

"Take it, this is a little bit of the army's heart."

"I can't ask for it." The woman quickly shook her head.

"Take it." Shao Fei forced it into the woman, then turned to Li Guang's father and said, "Li Guang is a martyr and a hero of the anti-Japanese resistance. We will not forget, the troops will not forget, and the people in the town will not forget. ”

Shao Fei's words comforted Li Guang's father, and his grief-stricken expression began to soothe.

"I have something to do, so I'll go first." Shao Fei said and instructed the woman: "Don't tell the story of your brother is the Eighth Road, after all, this is an enemy-occupied area, and the devil will retaliate, and when the Anti-Japanese War is won, the troops will definitely rehabilitate Comrade Li Guang." We will come to visit you whenever we have time. ”

"Hmm," the woman nodded, "I see." ，”

After Shao Fei finished speaking, he went out of the house and ordered loudly: "Lizheng!" Salute! ”

The special combat team members "brushed" and saluted the room to show their respect.

After Liu Mengtong returned home, he went to the study to see his father as soon as possible. At this time, my father was reading a book in the study, his face was very ugly, and he looked worried.

"Dad, I'm back." Liu Mengmengtong hadn't entered the study yet, so she shouted first. 、

The father hurriedly put down the book, stood up, and changed from worry to joy.

The father shook his hands and said excitedly, "Son, come back." ”

After Liu Mengtong entered the house, he quickly stepped forward and hugged his father, with tears in his eyes: "I'm back." ”

"Okay, okay, I thought you ......" The elderly father suddenly burst into tears.

Liu Mengtong let go of his hand and asked, "Dad, why are you crying, do you think something is wrong with me?" ”

My father replied, "Last time, I heard that the devils went into the mountains, destroyed your station, and killed a lot of the Eighth Route Army. At that time, my father was very scared, afraid that something would happen to you. ”

Liu Mengtong smiled and comforted: "I'm fine, I wasn't in the station at the time, and I went to the branch with the instructor." ”

The father asked, "...... you come back this time?" ”

Liu Mengtong replied: "I can only stay for a while, and I am leaving." Shao Fei, do you remember? ”

"Hmm," the father nodded.

Liu Mengtong continued: "22 comrades were killed in that battle. He came here this time to give pensions to the families of the comrades who died, and by the way, he brought me to visit you. He asked me to say hello to you on his behalf. ”

"In this way, that person named Shao Fei is definitely not a thing in the pool."

"Hmm" Liu Mengtong nodded with a smile and said: "He is very good at fighting, as long as he leads the team, the casualties of the troops will be very small." Moreover, he was very far-sighted, saying that he would build a large classroom for me, so that the troops would be educated, and he would be very affectionate and righteous. ”

The father smiled: "Do you like people?" ”

Liu Mengtong replied shyly: "I really like him, but he already has a lover." ”

In this way, the father and daughter kept talking in the house. An hour later, Shao Fei came in through the door like a thief and immediately closed the door.

Liu Mengtong asked with a smile: "Why are you like a thief?" ”

Shao Fei stepped forward and explained: "Your family knows me, if I come to you, won't I expose you?" I came in over the back wall. ”

After Shao Fei finished speaking, he greeted Liu Mengtong's father: "Hello, uncle." ”

"Okay, okay." Liu Mengtong's father smiled happily.

"I have something I want you to help me with, I went to five houses, but one of them wants my uncle to have time to take care of it."

Shao Fei explained the reason for venturing in, and the old man asked, "You say, I'm willing to help." ”

Shao Fei said: "You know Li Guang's family, Li Guang sacrificed, his father was very sick, and there was only one girl in the family, which was not easy to hear." ”

The old man waved his hand: "Don't say it, I know what to do." ”

Shao Fei instructed: "It's funded." It's better not to explain some superfluous words, it's good for each other. ”

Liu Mengtong's father nodded and said, "I understand this." ”

Shao Fei said to Liu Mengtong: "We are leaving, I wanted to ask you to stay longer, but I am afraid that it is not safe for you to return to the station alone as a woman, so you must go with us." ”

Liu Mengtong nodded: "I understand"

Shao Fei said with a smile: "I'll go first, and then I'll go over the back wall of your house, I'll wait for you outside the town." ”

After Shao Fei finished speaking, he opened the door, kept looking out like a thief, and then rushed out of the room.

Shao Fei's exaggerated movements caused Liu Mengtong to cover her mouth and laugh. After that, Liu Mengtong reluctantly said goodbye to his father and left the house
