When Xiao Ya's father heard this, he suddenly thought darkly, this old man has blocked his child's way to visit home. Could it be that if the Japanese army does not withdraw for ten years, the child will not be able to return home for ten years.
"Old guy, you must have drunk too much." Xiao Ya's father's eyes widened. He did not expect that this old man would actually say this on this occasion, in front of many people. He wanted to smooth things over, but when he saw Zhou Jixian's
Attitude, he even pointed at Zhou Weiguo impatiently: "You are cutting off the child's way home."
Zhou Jixian sighed slightly and looked at the gloomy sky for a long time before spitting out a few words from his lips: "The mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is floating, and the country does not exist, but there is a home. The mountains and rivers are all around, and it will be his home from now on."
"You..." Xiao Ya's father stretched out his finger, rolled his sleeves, turned to one side and snorted coldly, "Old man, you will regret it."
Zhou Weiguo understood what Zhou Jixian meant. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Dad, I understand. If the Japanese army does not withdraw, the child will not return home."
After getting up and about to leave, Zhou Weiguo thought of something and pulled Zhou Jixian to a relatively quiet corner: "Dad, if someone from Yamadajima or Yamada Kiyoko comes here to look for me, please welcome him.
"
Zhou Jixian frowned slightly and looked at Zhou Weiguo strangely: "You want my father to receive the Japanese slaves?"
Zhou Weiguo waved his hand; "No, it's a promise made to a friend. A few months ago, if it hadn't been for him, I would have been buried in a foreign land and would never be able to return home in this life."
Zhou Weiguo briefly mentioned the situation at that time. After hearing this, Zhou Jixian nodded and said, "Okay, they can be regarded as the benefactors of my Zhou family. I will treat them well and receive them. You can go with peace of mind."
Did Zhou Weiguo have nothing to worry about? He turned around and took a group of people and Xiao Ya, who had followed him back to Nanjing, out the door and headed to the secret service camp outside the city.
The night in the forest is quiet, with only the rustle of the dry branches blown by the cold wind outside, and from time to time, there is the sound of the blown dry branches falling to the ground.
It cannot be lit at night. Fortunately, although the weather is gloomy today, at dusk, the gloomy clouds disperse and a ray of silver-white moonlight shines on the ground. Although it is very weak, you can still see the road clearly.
Just after discussing with a few people to evacuate tomorrow and letting everyone go to sleep and drive tomorrow, Zhou Weiguo was also about to fall down and rest, but a figure came in carrying two copper basins clasped together.
That figure turned out to be Xiao Ya.
"Xiao Ya, what are you doing?" Zhou Weiguo pointed to the pots that were buckled together and asked in confusion.
It was inconvenient to wear a cheongsam in the military camp, so Xiao Ya changed into a set of soldier's clothes. Although they were a bit too big, due to her height, some big clothes did not look inappropriate.
"I went to the city to boil some hot water for you. During this period, you haven't washed your feet properly. Today I will give you a good wash and iron to relieve your fatigue."
As Xiao Ya said this, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing her pink and tender arms like lotus roots. She poured out the hot water and brought it to Zhou Weiguo to take off his shoes.
Zhou Weiguo trembled and hurriedly said, "I'll do it myself, it stinks."
Xiao Ya raised her head slightly; "No matter what happens to you, you will always be the best in my heart."
What else could he say? Zhou Weiguo could only let Xiao Ya take off his shoes and socks and let Xiao Ya wash his feet. Seeing that she was about to pour down the remaining water.
Zhou Weiguo hurriedly stopped Xiao Ya and wiped his feet with the clothes on the side. After putting on his clothes, he hugged Xiao Ya on the simple bed. He couldn't sit on the simple bed and said with a smile;
I'm not the only one, you are also very tired."
After coming to Suzhou from Nanjing and waiting in Suzhou for so many days, the tiredness and bloodshot eyes made Zhou Weiguo know that Xiao Ya was actually just like herself, even more tired, and she was worried about him in her heart.
But I feel a little ashamed because I rarely have time to think about Xiao Ya.
"Sit down, warm your feet, and then have a rest. We have to be on the road tomorrow." Zhou Weiguo said, taking off Xiao Ya's leather shoes and personally putting the feet as white as snow into a copper basin and washing them carefully.
After wiping off the water drops, she put her on the bed and turned around to leave.
"Weiguo, don't leave, okay?" The voice was weak, and her cheeks were slightly red. It seemed that the moment she said these words, Xiao Ya mustered up her courage.
Zhou Weiguo was stunned and came to her; "I'm not leaving, I'll stay here tonight." He kissed Xiao Ya's forehead lightly; "I'll go to the toilet to find a pair of cloth shoes that suit you. Leather shoes are not good for long distances."
After Xiao Ya agreed, Zhou Weiguo turned around and went to the toilet row. He found a pair of clean cloth shoes and placed them beside him. He looked at Xiao Ya who was waiting for him with a smile, and used the soil-covered leather shoes with a
With the help of some warm water in the copper basin, he wiped the shoes clean, and then he sat on the edge and turned his head slightly with the help of the moonlight: "Go to sleep, we have to go on the road tomorrow."
It was already bright outside. When Zhou Weiguo got up, he saw that Xiao Ya was still sleeping soundly. He did not disturb her, but carefully put on his clothes, covered Xiao Ya with the quilt and gently opened the military blue and gray curtain and walked out.
The troops were leaving today, but they still needed some time to prepare. During this period, Xiao Ya spent every day worrying and caring about herself.
He didn't get a good rest, how could he bear to disturb his wife who loved him so much.
Zhou Weiguo walked out of the tent and saw that several other people had already gotten up. The soldiers were dismantling the tents. Perhaps in order not to disturb his and Xiao Ya's rest, everyone was careful not to make any noise.
Zhou Weiguo put on his military cap and came to Hu Yong; "Hu Yong, take someone to my house and ask my father, they..."
Hu Yong turned around and pointed to the road leading to the road: "Batalion Commander, they just left."
What? Just left. Zhou Weiguo's eyes widened; "Why didn't you call me."
Hu Yong was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say. Jiang Yue came over and said, "Your father didn't let you scream. He and your father-in-law opened the curtain and saw that you were still sleeping. They asked us not to disturb you and left. They had already prepared the supplies."
Sent over." Jiang Yue pointed to the things piled not far away.
Zhou Weiguo ran over and saw a sack of peppercorns, a sack of ginger, about thirty kilograms of brown sugar, and neatly stacked bottles of alcohol and packaged gauze. But the others were placed
Several large bags of flatbreads and steamed buns came out.
"Uncle said that they are old and can no longer follow us to kill the enemy, so they can only use this method. He let us eat before leaving. They said that there was just a little less food. Let us not be offended, and then we will see
I took one look at you and left, Hu Yong and I gave it to them."
Jiang Yue patted Zhou Weiguo on the shoulder; "I just left, so go quickly. You can also see them off."
