The platoon leader borrows food with loyalty

When the team walked away, Widow Chen finally dared to open the door and hurriedly took the two children to her field. She kept recalling the honest smiling face of the young soldier in her mind.

She always felt that what the old Zhuangke said was wrong. The protection army was not because the leader was bound by military discipline, but because these peasants seemed to be a group of kind people themselves.

But after thinking about it, Widow Chen was a little unbelievable. How could anyone be recruited by a wealthy family to be a Baoding? If Baoding was not fierce, how could he intimidate the village shopkeepers?

Widow Chen went to the farmland, and all she planted in her fields was corn.

This new crop that has spread from Sunjiazhuang has been widely planted in Denglai Prefecture at this time. Although this crop has great requirements for water and fertilizer, it is a heroic grain. As long as you are willing to cultivate hard, you will always have two foods per season

The harvest of three stones is twice as high as other grains.

As a widow, Chen is not lazy in the field than men. Therefore, although he encounters some difficulties when farming, he is far inferior to other men to do heavy work, but he has two children every day.

The fields were busy and several acres of corn fields were busy.

She was busy on the field for half a morning, and suddenly she saw a fast horse walking around the mountains in the distance, and then rode the horse back.

Widow Chen felt nervous. Could this be the bandit's spy?

She looked back at the village, wondering if she would escape back to the village first. After thinking for a long time, she didn't dare to enter the village alone. So she went to the field next to her and asked an old shopkeeper next door: "Mr., you

Have you seen the horse before?"

"What horse?" The old merchant was busy cultivating soil for corn, but he didn't hear the sound of the horse.

Widow Chen didn't dare to go back, so she could only worry until midday. The father-in-law's daughter-in-law came to the field with porridge. Originally, their family didn't have lunch, but Widow Chen sent food in the morning to beg them to give it to him at noon.

I brought my own lunch, so the family brought lunch.

Of course, as a reward for helping Widow Chen cook, they could also leave some food. They simply cooked porridge and the whole family had a lunch.

When the few of them had rested to drink porridge, they saw a team of protective troops coming from the village in the distance.

The officer pointed at the terrain from afar. As soon as he was assigned, some soldiers ran through Widow Chen's fields with their own equipment and ambushed everywhere in front. When they passed the fields, they also paid special attention to walking from the ridges to avoid trampling on them.

Crops.

Seeing these scenes, Widow Chen and the Lao Zhuangke were both a little stunned.

Why did I clearly hide at the edge of the village, but this group of people still chase after me?

The officer looked at Widow Chen and the others, and then a soldier came to the place after a few assignments.

When they got closer, Widow Chen and the sergeant came were both stunned. It turned out that they were the young man who slept in front of her house in the afternoon.

When I saw Widow Chen, the young man seemed a little nervous, touched his head and pointed to the hillside in front and said, "Our battalion commander received news yesterday that there was a team of bandits, and today I was going to rob Dawangzhuang, so I just yesterday

He rushed to drive away."

"The bandits may have to attack the village from here, so we are going to guard here. When you wait for the people of the village, you should go back to the village to hide first to avoid being injured during the war."

After the soldier said that, Widow Chen also remembered the horse whistle detective just now, but she was very reluctant to leave.

It’s not that I think the bandits won’t come, but the key is that I’m afraid that these people will fight between their own fields and destroy the food they have worked hard to grow.

The old Zhuangke's mouth was squirming, as if he wanted to express his concern but did not dare. The soldier also knew what they were thinking and quickly promised: "We should try our best to keep your crops."

When Lao Zhuangke heard him say this, he didn't believe it but had to obey it, so he left.

Widow Chen was unwilling to leave no matter what. There was also land elsewhere in the Hakka of Laozhuang and Zhuang. Even if the food was damaged, there was still food to eat. Widow Chen and her two children were purely relying on this

A few acres of land have survived, but now they are starting a war on these acres of land. If they destroy all their crops, they should beg for food.

Widow Chen saw that the young soldier was so kind that he had not yet attacked him. She had some expectations for him and said, "If I don't leave, I will fight, and I will die in this field."

So what about above?"

The soldier looked at the comrades behind him who had already begun to enter the preset position and became extremely distressed: "Dad Yi has gone back, but you haven't followed him yet, what's wrong with taking two children here?"

Widow Chen said: "That's not my father. My husband died. Only these acres of thin fields are there in the family. If the crops on the fields are knocked down, I... I and the child will have no way to live. I'm just dead here.

Protect these crops, too.”

When he said this, tears were already covered in the corners of Widow Chen's eyes, and the two children burst into tears when they saw their mother sad.

Seeing her like this, the soldier looked stunned and said distressedly: "Even so, what's the use of staying here... I just promoted the platoon leader, the company commander wants me to persuade you to leave. If you can't persuade you, I will definitely

I'm going to eat."

Seeing her decisive face, the soldier finally gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't it just a few acres of land? If you really have no food to eat this battle, you will go to Sunjiazhuang to find me, and I will borrow food for you!"

"You lend me food?" Widow Chen never expected that the soldier would have such a stupid solution. I thought that even if the peasant soldiers in Sunjiazhuang were disciplined, they would definitely not have such rules. This must be the ones who were the soldiers themselves.

for.

Widow Chen couldn't help but blushed: "You have a family and a family, how can you lend me food?"

"I don't have a family, I'm alone in this farm, so there's enough food."

"If you believe me, go back quickly. If you only hide in the house when you fight and don't go out, if you really get damaged, you will go to Sunjiazhuang to find me Zhao Qi and report my name. I have that guy who plows by himself.

Tian, ​​even if I die in battle, there will be a surplus of money and grain. You only need to pay the remaining money and grain from the supervision committee, which will be enough for you to survive."

Zhao Qi was originally a bachelor who walked down from Yinmachuan. He was very frank about life and death. At this time, he just wanted to drive her away, and he spoke a little faster.

Widow Chen naturally knew what this man meant. She had a very good impression of the man. Her lips squirmed for a long time before she plucked up the courage to point to a valley in the distance and said, "I saw a horse exploring the valley before.

After exploring, I was afraid that it wasn't a bandit who wanted to call from there."

"What!" Zhao Qi looked at the valley that Widow Chen pointed to, nodded, "It's really possible that I'm going to report to the company commander."

Running to the distance, he glanced at the beautiful little widow and said again: "You are pitiful too. If we can't resist these bandits being sent into the village by them, you must close your door and protect it.

Two children.”

After saying a word, Zhao Qi hurried to report the battle situation. Widow Chen stared blankly at the burly man leaving, her lips moved and she couldn't speak.

What a brave man...
