75 Balance of Interests
"They're back...... They're back......" shouted the team members on the fence by the gate, pointing outside...... Uncle Yun and Taro came back, they were carried back, Uncle Yun lay on the stretcher safely, proudly looking at the team members gathered around him and squeezing his eyebrows, there was taro lying on the stretcher beside him, taro was not a big deal, a bag was knocked out of his head, and a piece of meat was bitten off his shoulder by a bullet, he could have learned to hang his hands in Huangquan, but he was pressed to the stretcher and carried back by the stubborn women.
Compared with Uncle Yun's safe treatment, Taro is very unaccustomed to this kind of treatment, his immature face is flushed, in his opinion, Uncle Yun is injured in his leg and can't do it, but he can walk back by himself, and now he is suspected of pretending to be sick.
The gate was lively, the team members smiled, greeted the two people on the stretcher, from time to time someone patted the taro's head melon seeds, thumbs up and praised loudly, the taro has never been so praised, the simple big child blushed so much that he could drip blood.
When the two were carried in front of Zhang Xiaoqiang, Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded at them, his eyes were full of relief, and the big stone in his heart was suddenly moved away, not only him, but Zhang Huai'an and Huang Quan also had a happy look on their faces.
"It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive, it's my carelessness that made you suffer, go, let the doctor stop messing with his stuff, heal our warriors, why don't you let the search team rob it, if there is no one in the town, go to the city to rob it, they are heroes!"
As Zhang Xiaoqiang drank, the team members standing on the side cheered: "Hero! Hero ......"
The two people were carried to the depths of the camp, and Taro looked at Uncle Yun with a blank face and said:
"Uncle, did you hear that? We are heroes, we have become heroes! ”
Uncle Yun didn't have the excitement of taro, he quietly looked at the white clouds in the sky, and a little desolation welled up in his heart, he thought of his father, the word hero was so heavy, and he couldn't stand it.
"We are extremely sorry for the injuries of your personnel, we have intended to provide all the material and personnel help, and hope to get your forgiveness, yesterday ......"
It was Zhao Xiaobo who spoke, she came forward to represent the women's barracks, speaking to a room full of men, she was a little nervous, her eyes always glanced at Huang Quan, who was sitting on the side with a straight face, until she was interrupted by Zhang Xiaoqiang's erected palm.
"They are my team members, our official armed members, they are ready to be wounded or even killed in battle, no one can imagine what happened last night, no one wants to touch it, as you said, the attackers are all destroyed, the commander is beheaded, this matter is over, I just want to ask one thing."
Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaoqiang saw that Zhao Xiaobo's whole body was tense, and he felt a little inexplicable, what he thought was that it was impossible for the two old and weak to block the attack of hundreds of people, it should be the women's barracks and Uncle Yun and Taro to block together, which surprised him again, if the women's barracks were really so heroic, then why was it so unbearable during the day? Is it acting, who is it for?
"How many casualties do you have?"
Hearing that Zhang Xiaoqiang finally asked about this, Zhao Xiaobo was stunned, what she was most afraid of had happened, and she couldn't help but look at Huang Quan, but saw Huang Quan's burning eyes staring at him, obviously, he also wanted to know.
"I ...... I...... I don't know how to say it, but we thank you for your help, and we are most grateful for our willingness to provide 100 rifles and 10 base ammunition, and at the same time, we are willing to give a part of the food and other supplies as compensation......"
Zhao Xiaobo's heart was bumpy, and he looked left to talk about him, wanting to use weapons and food to divert everyone's attention.
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't speak, staring at her eyes, Zhao Xiaobo's eyes flickered, he didn't dare to look at Zhang Xiaoqiang, and looked at the only man she was familiar with here, Huang Quan.
Huang Quan saw Zhao Xiaobo's uneasiness, and seemed to have guessed something in his heart, his eyes were like fire, his face was red, and he didn't want to attack in public, so he held the armrest of the wooden chair with his right hand and squeaked.
......The white porcelain teacup in his hand was crushed by Zhang Xiaoqiang, and the flying porcelain piece fell to Zhao Xiaobo's feet in a high arc, she almost collapsed to the ground, and her fear turned into tears in her eyes.
"Say it...... I'm waiting for ......."
Zhang Xiaoqiang crushed the teacup, but his face was still calm, everyone in the room guessed something when they saw Zhang Xiaoqiang and Huang Quan's abnormality, they looked at Zhao Xiaobo in the field very unkindly, and the 'creaking' sound of clenching their teeth sounded in the house.
"They are very brave, they have always been on the front line, they have never retreated, they have repelled several enemy attacks, they have bought us time to launch a surprise attack, they are the greatest heroes, we will always remember them, we want to be your most loyal friends......"
"Wait...... You say, they never retreated from the front line? I believe this, my team members are all tested by blood and fire, what I want to ask is, your casualties, you said that you launched a raid, I said, it was your Mu Pepe single raid, right? ”
Hearing Zhang Xiaoqiang's grim words, Zhao Xiaobo's pretty face faded from blood, pale cheeks, dull lips, slightly trembling lips, and frightened eyes lost focus.
"It's because we're sorry for them...... You also know that during the day you also watch ......"
......The white porcelain fragments held in Zhang Xiaoqiang's hand turned into porcelain powder, and the small sound was like thunder in Zhao Xiaobo's heart, she couldn't stand anymore, she fell to the ground and trembled, she didn't know if Zhang Xiaoqiang's anger would be vented on her, she was terrified.
"How many years have you been in the army?"
"It's been three years!" Zhao Xiaobo replied to Zhang Xiaoqiang's inquiry meaningfully.
"Huh...... The two of them are good, very good, two peasants, two peasants who have been soldiers for less than two months, fighting alone without backup, using their role as bait to block the attack of hundreds of people, seriously wounded and not retreating, worthy of a hero, did not disgrace the hot spring base.
I was wrong, I was really wrong, I thought they would run back, they didn't, they were fighting, fighting in the name of the team, it was me who was wrong, I became timid, I lost my pride, I was sorry for my teammates. ”
Zhang Xiaoqiang's face was flat when he said this, and he spoke slowly, not looking at Zhao Xiaobo and everyone else, but looking at the vast sky outside the door, his hand squeaked, and the red blood spread out, dripping on the ground under his hand, like plum blossoms.
"Yellow Spring!" Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at Huang Quan violently and shouted, which made Zhao Xiaobo, who was sitting on the ground, tremble slightly.
"Here!" Huang Quan bounced up from the wooden chair, stood up and saluted, staring at Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes with burning eyes, but not looking at Zhao Xiaobo more.
At this moment, Huang Quan is like an angry King Kong, with a tall figure, a cold face, and clenched his teeth to make his cheeks curved, which is like the majestic spirit of an iron-blooded man.
"The two members of the team immediately became second-class non-commissioned officers, enjoyed double the salary, and wrote their deeds into paper manuscripts, so that those children could learn every day, and let them know that the records of our team members, as long as the base is not destroyed, their records will last forever."
"Yes!"
After Huang Quan finished the salute, he turned around and went out, still not looking at Zhao Xiaobo who was looking at the tip of his shoes in a daze on the ground.
"Who's that? I don't bother to know your name, you go back, it has nothing to do with us after you live or die, we don't want the things you said, I won't exchange the lives of the team members for those things, if you want, I'll go out and grab ......"
Zhao Xiaobo raised his head in surprise and looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang in surprise, but he didn't expect Zhang Xiaoqiang to let her go so easily, Zhao Xiaobo heard the determination in Zhang Xiaoqiang's words, which was not in harmony with her intentions, she wanted to take this opportunity to officially form an alliance with the team, but unfortunately she didn't understand the world of men.
"Please...... Listen to me......"
"Get out!"
Zhang Xiaoqiang drank, interrupting Zhao Xiaobo's self-defense, Zhao Xiaobo didn't dare to say more, got up from the ground with a disgraced face, and ran out of the door...... Zhao Xiaobo disappeared outside the door, no one spoke in the house, Zhang Xiaoqiang felt a burst of remorse, he didn't expect that the two people who were given up by him as cannon fodder showed a bloody nature beyond his imagination, and suddenly he returned to the oath meeting, one old and one young, two men with them to cut off their fingers, willing to live together, ask to die together.
And he, Zhang Xiaoqiang, the actual leader of the team, lost his word, he didn't let people go out for help at the first time, his heart was on the interests of the camp, and on the balance of interests, he gave up two members who were willing to die with him.
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't want to think about it anymore, it was useless to talk too much, wrong was wrong, he didn't want to continue to regret it, and he made up his mind that he would never give up a team member again, and he could no longer use his interests to measure the lives of his brothers.
