Chapter 776: Sir, We Want to Go Home
At the entrance of the restaurant, the five people parted ways. Xue Bing followed Shao Fei to the headquarters of the Yichang Public Security Regiment, while Zhao Hongfei followed Chen Haotian to his temporary residence in Yichang.
"There are many people living in the house, if you don't dislike it, you can live in one room."
"Brother Chen is polite, we are already satisfied with a place to live, how dare we be picky."
Chen Haotian wanted to know Zhao Hongfei's origins, because few people overpowered Shao Fei in terms of momentum, so it can be seen that this person started not small.
The three of them walked for twenty minutes and came to the front of a small western-style building, where two guards stood at the door. In the corner of the wall not far from the small building, there are many refugees, and their presence has a sense of incongruity with this gorgeous western-style building.
Chen Haotian said: "It's here."
The sense of incongruity between luxury and poverty made Zhao Hongfei feel unhappy, and asked: "It is said that the generals of the national army are rich masters, and it seems that what they say is true. Brother Chen, how much military pay did you embezzle to have such a place to live? β
Chen Haotian didn't mind Zhao Hongfei's outspoken words, but appreciated it a little, so he said: "Corruption? I have sent a lot of money and food to the national army, how can I talk about corruption? My family is a grain store, and Yichang Wharf is an important transit station into Sichuan, so naturally there is a place for my Chen family. β
Zhao Hongfei apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my words."
The two followed Chen Haotian into the house, and the housekeeper quickly stepped forward to greet them.
"Young Master, you're back."
"Immediately inform the merchant to prepare a cart of grain for me, as well as two thousand oceans. No, three thousand! Immediately sent to Yichang Middle School. β
"Yes, young master."
The housekeeper quickly went to handle it. The three of them immediately entered the living room, where Lan Ling, Liu Ying, and Ru Xue, who were about to give birth, sat in the living room. During this time, Liu Ying has been here to take care of Ru Xue and the child in her belly.
Zhao Hongfei smiled: "They are all beauties." Brother Chen, Yan Fu is not shallow. β
"Where did you come from to call Hanako, saying that she is so tasteless!"
Zhao Hongfei's frivolous words angered Liu Ying, and he stepped forward to scold. Now Liu Ying is very annoyed, Shao Fei has not heard from him for a long time.
"Beauty, spicy enough. I'm so handsome, I look like a flower child. β
Zhao Hongfei's tone was very similar to Shao Fei, Liu Ying was immediately stunned and asked, "Who are you?"
Zhao Hongfei replied: "Of course it's a distinguished guest invited by your husband."
Chen Haotian ignored them, just watched the excitement. He walked to the sofa and sat down, holding Lan Ling's shoulder with one hand and preparing to watch the show.
Liu Ying was once again stunned by Zhao Hongfei's words and asked, "Husband, handsome, what is the relationship between you and Shao Fei?"
Zhao Hongfei was also surprised and asked, "Then what is the relationship between you and Shao Fei?"
"He's my fiancΓ©. What about you? β
"This kid, don't forget to fight your sister." said and smiled, and said, "But the length is still a little worse than mine, and I see that I am better than him." Who called me more handsome than him? β
Yi Ren just shook his head helplessly. The two of them started from the recruit company, comparing everything, and they were extremely boring. So, I walked inside and sat on the couch on the other side.
Liu Ying seemed to remember something, stretched out her fingers and asked, "Are you Zhao Fei?"
Zhao Hongfei replied: "My name is Zhao Hongfei now, you are Liu Ying, right?" Shao Fei mentioned it. β
Liu Ying nodded, her heart was mixed, and the whole person was stuck there. She knew that Zhao Hongfei came here to take Shao Fei away this time.
Chen Haotian listened to their conversation all the time. There were doubts before, but now it's certain that both of them are from the future.
Shao Fei is already as strong as a monster, Zhao Hongfei is stronger than Shao Fei in terms of courage, it seems that these two people are at the monster level.
Everyone sat back on the couch, and the servant quickly stepped forward to pour three cups of tea.
Chen Haotian took a cup and said, "I used to be a staff officer in the Fifth War Zone, and I heard that an anti-Japanese team suddenly appeared in western Anhui, it should be you, right?"
Zhao Hongfei smiled without saying a word, took a sip, and said, "The tea is good."
Chen Haotian continued: "I heard that you covered the remnants of the 154th Division to evacuate Luoshan, and finally disappeared, but I didn't expect to come here." But no matter what, I still want to thank you on behalf of the Sichuan Army, because I am also the Sichuan Army. β
"I'm ashamed."
Zhao Hongfei just replied with two words lightly. He didn't want to remember that battle, there was nothing to show about being defeated by a Japanese squadron.
At this time, the housekeeper from before came over and said, "Young Master, everything is ready." β
"Got it." Chen Haotian stood up on crutches and said, "Are you interested in going somewhere with me?" β
"Okay." Zhao Hongfei and Yi Ren both stood up, and Zhao Hongfei said, "If you stay, you have to be eaten." β
From just now to now, Liu Ying's unkind eyes have been looking at Zhao Hongfei.
After the three of them left, Lan Ling spoke: "It seems that they are the same kind of people as Shao Fei, and the one named Gao Xiaowei before." If these four people were together, I really don't know what would happen? β
Chen Haotian took the two to Yichang Middle School. Schools have long been closed, and students and teachers have either gone home or traveled to Sichuan. Sooner or later, Yichang will become a occupied area, and no one wants to be a slave to the country.
The school, whether it is the playground, the teaching building, or the dormitory, is already crowded with people.
People are divided into three, six, nine and so on, and on the playground, you can see makeshift tents everywhere, and those tents are nothing more than a few rags on broken wood. And the people who lived there were ordinary workers, low-class civil servants. But they were lucky, at least much better than the refugees who slept on the streets.
As for the teaching buildings and dormitories, they are occupied by public officials, students from Wuhan, teachers, intellectuals, petty officials, and so on.
Lu Zuofu placed the remnants of the Sichuan army in the teaching building, which was already a kind of mercy. How can small Yichang accommodate more than 100,000 people, not to mention that there are still a large number of people rushing to this side.
The captain before was anxiously waiting for Chen Haotian, and when he found out, he immediately rushed over with his subordinates.
"Sir, you're really here."
"I'm also a Sichuan army, don't you know? How could I leave you alone, and the food will come later. β
The captain bowed his head, as if he had something difficult to say, and only after a long time did he spit out: "We want to go home." β
Chen Haotian breathed a sigh of relief and said apologetically: "I can't help you with this matter, it must be arranged by Mr. Lu." β
"Mr. Lu is also from Sichuan, why can't he think about his own people!?"
This is a heartfelt complaint. Sichuan sent the most troops and the most money and food, but the Sichuan army had the worst equipment and the worst treatment, and it was always looked down upon and ranked last.
Minsheng shipping is Sichuan, but it can't take its own soldiers; The Chen family's grain store is from Sichuan, but those who can eat are always their descendants, and it is the Sichuan army that is hungry.
Chen Hao Tianan could only soothe: "I hope you can understand Mr. Lu's distress." The day after tomorrow, the first people to be transported were orphans from the nursery, so we can't compete with the children, right? β
The captain was speechless. At this moment, a truck full of grain drove in from outside.
"The grain has arrived, and the man who brought you is ready to unload. There are three thousand oceans in the car, and I will give you some brothers equally, and there is only so much I can do. β
After speaking, Chen Haotian walked to the teaching building to visit the disabled soldiers. And his heart is a little heavy, although these soldiers are lucky to survive, but they don't need to think about their fate to know. And now their only hope is to return home and be reunited with their loved ones.
The three of them entered a classroom and a foul smell came to their nostrils. The air was filled with the smell of blood and medicine, mixed with a little rancid smell. As for the scene, it was miserable.
The wounded had broken legs, broken arms, blind ......, and the light ones were also on one foot and holding on to crutches.
After those disabled soldiers saw Chen Haotian, those who could stand up stood up one after another, and those who couldn't stand up could only look at Chen Haotian with pity.
The desks and chairs in the classroom have long been emptied, the floor is covered with straw mats, and there is a lot of household waste.
Chen Haotian walked inside, and some soldiers saluted.
"Sir~"
"Sir~"
ββ¦β¦β
The sentence of the chief pierced Chen Haotian's heart like a knife, and it was extremely painful. And this scene also shocked Zhao Hongfei and Yi Ren's hearts.
At this time, a wounded soldier plucked up his courage and asked, "Sir, we want to go home, when will we have a boat?" β
Chen Haotian couldn't bear to say anything more about what he had said before, making these soldiers desperate. So he said, "Yes, you will definitely be able to go home." β
As he spoke, Chen Haotian knocked on his prosthetic leg and said, "I am Chen Haotian, maybe some of you know that I am the son of the Chen family." Even if there is no boat, our Chen's convoy will take you home! β
Chen Haotian's words moved everyone, and they also saw the hope of going home. At the same time, he also moved Zhao Hongfei and Yi Ren behind him, and what they saw in their eyes was the responsibility of a general.
The war has disabled many people for life, and Chen Haotian is one of them, and he can deeply understand that kind of pain.
Returning home is just a simple instinctive wish of people, but it is a luxury for these soldiers who fight for their country. Seeing thousands of people constantly flocking towards Yichang, and seeing the mountains of materials piled up, this luxury has turned into despair.
