Chapter 50: Castle Peak

Views:

Liu Yan opened the tool box, thought for a while, dumped all the contents of the box on the ground, cut out a few wires and a detonator, and stuck them on the box cover.

Bai Xiaodong watched carefully from the side, without asking, and Liu Yan did not explain, and finally fixed the two trinitrotoluene detonators in the box, and carefully closed the lid.

"Let's go." Liu Yan said, "Catch someone and ask."

There are two or three miles away from the next mountain, and the gun battle and explosion just now were very loud, most likely Lai Jie has heard it. The new army does not know how many members there are. Many people do not know that the prisoners have escaped from prison, and reinforcements are still coming in a steady stream.

Liu Yan and Bai Xiaodong hid behind a building, a group of five members of the New Army shouted loudly and ran towards Area 1, Bai Xiaodong suddenly grabbed the collar of the last man running, grabbed the knife with his left hand and cut him with a click. Knocked out and dragged over.

Liu Yan splashed some water to wake the man up, and asked the direction of the laboratory—it was further north than the administration building.

He found an idle jeep, boarded with Bai Xiaodong and headed towards the laboratory.

Another place:

Zha Longxi and Lai Jie walked out of the office, and there were faint explosions and gunshots in the distance. Lai Jie frowned and asked, "What's the sound?"

Cha Longxi glanced at his watch and said, "Routine training, on the training ground behind Area 1, by the way, if there is a chance, can you help train them?"

Lai Jie nodded thoughtfully, and Zha Longxi said, "Your companion can find it, don't worry."

Lai Jie said: "To be honest, what I was worried about just now was not about this, but about your new army."

Zha Longxi didn't speak, and looked at Lai Jie earnestly with his hands behind his back. He was a little taller than Lai Jie, lowered his head slightly, and looked very polite.

Lai Jie looked around in the corridor of the administrative building, put his hands on the window sill, looked at the mountains in the distance, and said: "Your new army will definitely face disbandment after returning to the high seas."

Chalongxi asked in confusion: "Of course I know, is there any problem?"

Lai Jie turned around and looked into Chalongxi's eyes, and said, "Your soldiers are really well trained. They may be tested by the People's Liberation Army at that time, and they will be recruited under the premise of respecting individual wishes. You will lose your identity as a civil servant. leader's position."

Zha Longxi laughed and shook his head helplessly. Lai Jie pointed his finger and said seriously: "Can you really let go of these? Go back and be a commoner?"

"Of course." Cha Longxi said: "I thought the country would force conscription..."

"No, no." Lai Jie handed over a cigarette, and Zha Longxi took it, and Lai Jie said: "Nowadays, the concept of people is different from our parents' generation. In addition to power, even generals must respect the wishes of the people.”

"Let's be honest." Cha Longxi said: "I don't really want to go to the shelter. Sometimes I always think, what can I do after I go? I would rather stay in my hometown, otherwise one day, the boiling blood It will cool down. I may not be suitable for living in groups, after you notify the headquarters, send all the brothers away, and I will stay."

Lai Jie said: "Where are you planning to go? So many zombies are no joke."

Zha Longxi said: "Walk around and see if there is anyone who needs help. Lin Zexu said, 'If a country lives and dies, why should we avoid it because of misfortunes and blessings?' I don't want to accept state funding every day in a shelter and die of old age. I would rather die on the frontier."

Lai Jie said: "Not bad, very good. Would you like to join us?"

Chalongxi didn't answer, but looked into Lai Jie's eyes.

"I want to show you something first." Cha Longxi said.

"Meng Feng!" Liu Yan shouted softly.

Meng Feng waved his hands behind him on the fire escape, and saw Lai Jie and Chalongxi in the corridor.

Liu Yan waved at him, Meng Feng finally found someone and had to come down again, Liu Yan threw two detonators one after another, Meng Feng caught them and stuffed them into his pockets, Liu Yan pointed to the back, motioning him to mine in the biochemical laboratory.

Meng Feng jumped down and said: "Lai Jie is inside, the first floor is full of people, don't rush in, tell Lai Jie and leave."

Liu Yan nodded, and climbed up to the administrative building with Bai Xiaodong from behind. The window was open, and there was a big office inside. Liu Yan saw an iron box on the desk, and motioned Bai Xiaodong to squat down.

They hid on the drainpipe outside the building, listening to the conversation from the office.

Chalongxi: "The last time we went to the city, we found an abandoned car with blood everywhere. I checked it and found this inside. It should be something very important."

Lai Jie murmured: "God, this is the vaccine of the Nuhai team... They were wiped out years ago."

There is a combination lock on it. Lai Jie fiddled with the combination lock with his fingers. Cha Longxi said, "I'll avoid it."

Lai Jie said lightly, "It's okay."

Cha Longxi opened the door and went out, Lai Jie lowered his head to open the lockbox, and there was a sound of opening the box.

As soon as Cha Longxi went out, he took out a bug and stuck it on the door.

Inside was a vaccine, and the refrigerant at the bottom of the box hadn't failed. Lai Jie closed the lid of the box, looked up, and two people appeared outside the window. Rai Jie's expression became quite exciting.

Liu Yan made a "shh" gesture, Bai Xiaodong held a box in his left hand, took away the vaccine box in front of Lai Jie, replaced it with another box, and put it gently on the table, Liu Yan took the vaccine box, pointed to To the north, mouth gestures for Meng Feng.

Lai Jie said, "Where did you go?"

Liu Yan: "This guy is not a good guy..."

Suddenly the door was opened, Liu Yan shouted: "Be careful!"

There was a gunshot, and in just one second, Bai Xiaodong hugged Liu Yan's waist and dragged outward, while Lai Jie stepped on the desk and jumped outward.

Chalongxi's bullet flew past Lai Jie's thigh, leaving a line of blood, and then shattered the window, blasting glass shards.

Lai Jie pulled out the shotgun on the side of his leg in mid-air, and shot backhand without turning his head. The steel ball exploded in the office with a loud noise, and then shouted: "Get down!"

Lai Jie grabbed the window sill and swung in a circle, then appeared outside the window again, and buckled the gun.

The door of the office flew out with the sound of the explosion along with the window glass on the opposite side of the corridor!

Liu Yan and Bai Xiaodong fell to the ground in embarrassment. Lai Jie jumped onto the water pipe from the fire escape, jumped down from the water pipe again, and landed on one knee to absorb the momentum. back seat.

"Is it solved?!" Liu Yan said, "Is your injury okay?"

Lai Jie jumped into the back seat of the convertible jeep: "It's okay, minor injuries can't go to the line of fire. Damn, he ran away! The voice is so small that you can hear it?! You shouldn't have talked just now!"

Liu Yan: "You didn't speak first! He must have a bug! Let's go! Meng Feng is going to blow up their biochemical laboratory!"

Liu Yan turned the front of the car, and a bullet flew in from a distance, smashing the rear-view mirror into pieces. Lai Jie shouted, "Where is the biochemical laboratory! Oh no..."

The administrative building began to chase people out. Liu Yan stepped on the accelerator and rushed out. Lai Jie pulled out his submachine gun and turned around. He sat in the back seat, flipped the safety catch and began to shoot. Soon, there was another earth-shattering explosion in the distance, and Meng Feng succeeded.

"How many people are there in the new army?" Lai Jie said, "I'm still looking for information."

Liu Yan said: "It is estimated that there are thousands of them! Hundreds of them have already been dealt with by Meng Feng, go to meet him?!"

Liu Yan turned the steering wheel and rushed to the back of the building in District 1. The turning force almost threw Bai Xiaodong out. Lai Jie turned around immediately, pulled the grenade and threw it at the corner. Liu Yan turned 180 degrees from behind the building and chased him around the corner. A lot of people came, and the grenade exploded, sending people flying straight out.

As soon as Liu Yan stepped on the accelerator, the car rushed out from the corner again. Lai Jie held a submachine gun in each hand, and fired obliquely at both sides along the road. It was the first time Bai Xiaodong encountered such an exciting scene, he hid his head under the seat and couldn't stop shouting.

The jeep crashed into the crowd, there was another grenade with a bang, and then it flew out of flames like arrows. Meng Feng ran for his life with a six-barreled machine gun on his back, chasing a large group of zombies behind him, and shouted: "Liu Yan, what are you doing again?" Murder your own husband!"

"Kill them!" came Chalongxi's voice.

Liu Yan drifted and turned, and Lai Jie jumped into the driver's seat, shouting: "I'll drive! You guys hide!"

Meng Feng set up the submachine gun, and Lai Jie immediately took off the body armor and threw it to Meng Feng. Meng Feng put it on, pushed Liu Yan and Bai Xiaodong under the car seat, and started firing bursts amid roars.

The firepower of Meng Feng's weapon was extremely powerful. As soon as he ran out of the administrative building, he was knocked down by the flying bullets. The jeep reached the highest speed and passed through the scorched smoke, flames and corpses that had been blasted by the previous grenade.

Liu Yan raised his head in a hurry, and suddenly saw a person appearing from the roof of the administrative building. He immediately realized the danger and shouted: "Lai Jie! Get out of here!"

Liu Yan frantically rummaged through his bag, and the moment he took out a disc, a rocket launcher was launched from the roof, roaring towards the jeep galloping at high speed.

"Throw it out!" Liu Yan shouted.

Bai Xiaodong: "I... Me... Call me?"

Meng Feng shot at the side of the car. Seeing that he was the only one free, Bai Xiaodong quickly took the disc while asking, and flicked it obliquely.

The electronic sound of the beeping disc quickly spun and slanted towards the rocket launcher. It exploded in mid-air and disintegrated, shooting out hundreds of red metal pieces. The rocket launcher was disturbed by the explosive force and exploded in the air. The jeep flipped over.

The world was spinning, the rear wheels of the jeep were in the air, and the front of the jeep was slanted towards the ground at a forty-five degree angle. Meng Feng slammed into the back of the car, and the jeep landed smoothly. up.

Lai Jie: "Three minutes to prepare and report the situation."

"We were caught." Meng Feng began to change bullets: "I escaped just now, kill back?"

Liu Yan took out the communicator and threw it to Lai Jie and Meng Feng, and put a medal on Bai Xiaodong's collar, and he put another on himself.

Lai Jie rummaged through his bag to refill his bullets: "Zhao Qing and I found a village at the foot of the mountain. After observing for a day, we found out the situation here. I guess you have been arrested, and you will come up to rescue them immediately. This fight killed the Nuhai team. I am afraid The civilians were taken as hostages and have never dared to do anything... You are responsible for releasing the civilians and covering them to leave, did Bai Xiaodong report?"

Bai Xiaodong: "The civilians have all been let go."

"Very good." Lai Jie said, "Where's Liu Yan?"

Liu Yan said without raising his head, "I killed someone."

Lai Jie said: "Now you represent the country and the government. You don't have to be soft on those you think should be killed. Don't be afraid when you kill someone. The heroic soul of the k3 martyr will always protect you."

"En." Liu Yan whispered.

After all the bullets were loaded and the preparations were over, Meng Feng said, "What should I do now? Kill them back? There are too many zombies in the laboratory, which is the No. 3 area of the North Prison. Nearly 20,000 prisoners turned into zombies after the infection broke out. "

Lai Jie rubbed his nose and said, "I have to go back and clean up the zombies first. Liu Yan, you are in charge of driving."

Liu Yan took over the steering wheel, but didn't drive it, and looked into the distance.

Meng Feng said: "Or organize a defense line here? The zombies leave the experimental area and can quickly catch up to the administrative building. They can only run in our direction, which is the only way to go down the mountain."

"Liu Yan?" Lai Jie asked.

"He has a lot of ways to escape." Liu Yan said: "Look."

On the top floor of the administrative building in the distance, the sound of helicopter propellers sounded, and a small helicopter flew away.

Lai Jie cursed and said, "Prepare to lay mines."

Liu Yan said: "But he can't escape, wait a minute... Do you remember the box I asked Xiaodong to change?"

Lai Jie: "..."

A large number of soldiers from the new army gathered on the roof. There were four or five hundred people in the dark, shouting angrily. Chalongxi ignored them and sat in the cabin and let out a sigh of relief.

"Fly to the north and find a safe place." Cha Longxi leaned on the seat wearily.

However, if the younger brother is gone, he can still recruit again. It took him less than a year to establish a regime since the disaster came. With time, the new army will be formed again.

Fortunately, I got the most important thing this time, so I won't get nothing.

Satisfied, Cha Longxi opened the vaccine box on his lap, and inside was a mess of wires entangled with an LCD display panel.

Under the LCD panel is a ticking time bomb.

There was a light click, and the number "1" was displayed on the countdown.

Chalongxi held his breath, his pupils constricted violently.

In the next second, the number returned to zero, and the time bomb detonated.

There was an earth-shattering explosion, and the strong wind brought by the shock wave swept across the entire mountaintop, and the echo in the valley was like thunder.

The helicopter turned into a fireball in mid-air and fell into the valley. Chalong River was blown to pieces and smashed to pieces.

Meng Feng said: "Are these people saved?"

Lai Jie was silent for a while, and suddenly on the other side of the administrative building, a man's voice shouted through the loudspeaker: "People on the roof listen up! Commander Zha committed his own crimes, and there is no whole body left!"

"Zhuo Yuhang?" Meng Feng asked.

Lai Jie asked, "Do you know this person?"

Meng Feng nodded, and Zhuo Yuhang said loudly: "Everyone, prepare to resist the zombies! Don't be afraid! The country is here to save us! It will definitely give us a chance to make a contribution!"

There was a stir on the roof, and Lai Jie said: "Zhalongxi Fuzhu! On behalf of the country, I officially took over the New Army Militia Self-Defense Force! You kill from above! We are responsible for the back support!"

Before all the zombies escaped from the No. 3 area of the prison came over, Lai Jie and Meng Feng cleared away all the zombies in front of the administrative building. Zhuo Yuhang came over with his bruised sister, put her in the car, and turned to rescue people.

The two groups converged and retreated while killing. The firepower gradually increased. The remaining soldiers of the new army retreated from the mountain road and blocked the power grid.

Liu Yan drove down the mountain, and Lai Jie buried all the remaining bombs and grenades from the new army, blowing up half of the mountain.

The trouble finally came to an end. They came down from the mountain, and Zhuo Yuhang counted the number of people. The new army had Zhuo Yuhang and Cha Longxi as leaders from the beginning of the zombie counterattack. Four months ago, there was a disagreement about the Nuhai team. Longxi and Zhuo Yuhang split in anger. Zhuo Yuhang led his cronies to leave Qingshan Prison, but was plotted against by Cha Longxi. Zhuo Yuhang was imprisoned, and his members feared that Zha Longxi would torture him, so they were recruited again.

At this time, the new army has no leader, and they are all willing to listen to Zhuo Yuhang.

Zhuo Yuhang led them down the mountain and headed for the farmland. This place was actually a small village at the foot of the prison mountain. The houses were dilapidated. Only two members of the new army guarded the 400 laborers.

The vegetables, potatoes, food, and sweet potatoes grown by these 400 laborers will be supplied to 3,000 new soldiers and hostages living on the top of the mountain.

"Only so few people?" Meng Feng asked.

"Almost no one can run away." Zhuo Yuhang said: "I only ran away twice in a year. Both the old man and the child are in the hands of Cha Longxi. There are zombies outside and guns behind them. Where can they run?"

People were crying everywhere on the cultivated land. Lai Jie counted the number of people and said, "Liu Yan, come here to register your name, rest for one night, and leave here tomorrow."

June 4, 2013.

Just after leaving the high seas and returning to the mainland, the first enemies they encountered turned out to be fellow human beings.

Zhuo Yuhang still remembered the previous establishment. He asked the small captain of the new army to count. In this meaningless war, more than 700 people died.

The first thing Lai Jie did after he went down the mountain was to gather the members of the Hurricane Team, and everyone stood in a circle to mourn in silence for the comrades who died at the hands of civilians—the members of the Furious Sea Team.

According to those who witnessed all this at the time, Cha Longxi brutally killed other team members in order to press for the password, leaving the captain of the Nuhai team behind, and then tortured him repeatedly, waiting for him to recover, and repeatedly experiencing the pain that all human beings can experience. , no less than Ling Chi. Until the end, the captain himself died.

They died heroically in order to rescue the people in the zombie tide. They did not die in the crowd of zombies, but died of torture at the hands of their compatriots. The most frightening thing was that there were several bystanders at the time, and they described the whole process to us, but none of them mentioned that they wanted to resist.

Lai Jie said that luckily I was more careful and the culprit died under the bomb.

We gathered all the supplies, and there is still a lot of food here, enough to feed all the people for a month.

There are many people and troublesome, everyone is very tired, the most troublesome thing is that I am very...

"What's the most troublesome thing?" Bai Xiaodong said, "What's wrong with you?"

Liu Yan closed the diary with a snap: "You have been taught badly by Meng Feng, Comrade Xiaobai."

"Hehe." Bai Xiaodong smiled: "Your diary is quite thoughtful. What's wrong with you, are you feeling unwell?"

Liu Yan said: "I'm not feeling sick... I'm just hungry! Lai Jie!"

Liu Yan finally found Lai Jie, grabbed Lai Jie's collar ferociously and shook it desperately: "I only ate half a bag of mustard last night, and this morning I ate half a piece of bread and then I had cold water. If you don't find me something to eat, you Just wait to re-apply to the headquarters for a mechanic!!"

Lai Jie complained incessantly: "The common people don't give away food, what do you want me to do?"

Meng Feng came over with a broken bowl and said, "Here, let's eat first, to rest your stomach."

There were two eggs in the bowl, Liu Yan was so hungry that he was dizzy, all the food he ate last night was left to Meng Feng, he hadn't had anything to eat for nearly forty-eight hours.

Fortunately, Meng Feng knew that he loved his wife, so he went to steal two boiled eggs, Liu Yan devoured them, and Lai Jie had to turn a blind eye.

Busy and busy, it wasn't until the sun went down that everyone's names were registered. Zhuo Yuhang came over with a pot full of roasted potatoes and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't have time to deliver food to you."

Lai Jie said: "It's okay, let the elders rest first, and prepare to leave tomorrow morning."

Meng Feng divided the broken bowl and chopsticks, and called Bai Xiaodong. Bai Xiaodong was bandaging Zhuo Yuhang's sister. Zhuo Ting was already awake, but her whole body was bruised and inflamed. She was severely injured and had a high fever, making her very weak.

She hadn't spoken to Zhuo Yuhang since she woke up, her eyes were empty, her hair was disheveled, she was looking at the sky, muttering something.

Zhuo Yuhang went to take care of his sister, and when Bai Xiaodong came over, everyone squatted in the open space and started eating dinner with the big pot of potatoes.

At night, Lai Jie set up a simple camp outside the village. It was cold in the mountains and it started to rain. Liu Yan lay under the plastic sheet and listened to the sound of the rain. He turned around and hugged Meng Feng.

Meng Feng lay upright, snoring loudly, Liu Yan pinched his nose, and Lai Jie and Zhuo Yuhang answered in his ears.

Zhuo Yuhang: "According to what they mean, stay here."

Lai Jie: "No, Brother Zhuo, let alone the order to remove the organization, this place is too dangerous."

Zhuo Yuhang: "I can lead the remaining brothers to protect everyone."

Lai Jie pondered for a moment, as if deliberating, and finally said seriously: "First of all, your matter has not yet been settled. I am not talking about frankly lenient and resisting strictness. Whether you are wronged or accomplices, this needs to be answered. Only the high seas can figure it out, and return your innocence. Secondly, the next thing should not have been told to you, but since you want to stay and don’t want to go to the high seas, I will explain the actual situation to you, but you have to keep it secret for me .”

Zhuo Yuhang said: "All members of the new army will go with you. If you don't believe me, I can handcuff them now. But the common people are afraid of being soldiers, and they are also scared by Zha Longxi, so they dare not believe blindly."

Lai Jie said: "It's okay if you don't believe it. In fact, when the survivors in all areas start to retreat, the military will carry out a military bombing called the Long Night Project. It is very unsafe for you to hide in the mountains, and you will only be killed. "

Zhuo Yuhang: "We can hide in the air-raid shelter."

Lai Jie: "This is not the area that the Hurricane team is in charge of. We were killed by Chalongxi. Do you understand that the Nuhai team was killed by Chalongxi? Although it has nothing to do with you. But once we leave, No one will ever come to save you, only this one chance."

"When the bombing really starts, it won't be just a few bombs. Incendiary bombs will be used in mountainous areas, and nuclear bombs will be used in cities densely populated by zombies. By that time, you won't even be able to find food. Don't think you can Self-sufficient here... The land is all burned, just a fire is enough to make you all die here, if you want to survive, you have to go."

Zhuo Yuhang was silent for a long time, and Lai Jie said, "Give you a cigarette, and try to persuade them to leave here tomorrow morning."

Meng Feng said with a strong nasal voice: "What's the name of the person you killed?"

Liu Yan was startled, let go of his hand and whispered: "Are you awake?"

Meng Feng said: "Can I not wake up if you pinch my nose?"

Liu Yan thought for a while and said, "I don't know."

Meng Feng: "Remember to ask for the name before killing a bad person next time. Otherwise, Lai Jie will not be able to register."

Meng Feng sat up, with a frizzy look on his face, picked up his gun, put on his coat, and went on patrol. Liu Yan's stomach growled again, lying on the plastic sheet, pillowing on his coat, watching the dripping rain under the tree and counting snails.

Lai Jie and Meng Feng handed over and returned to the camp to rest. It was already two o'clock in the middle of the night. There were still many places in the village with oil lamps lit, and the villagers were busy packing their things.

Lai Jie twisted his fingers in front of his knees, sitting in a daze in the shed, Liu Yan whispered, "Are you tired?"

"It's okay." Lai Jie said: "Liu Yan, you are getting better and better. Is it because of the vaccine?"

Liu Yan smiled, but did not answer.

He likes Lai Jie very much. This big brother-type captain is like a gentle soldier. He likes to joke, but he has a good sense of proportion. He is kind and forbearing, but he does not lose his toughness.

Lai Jie would put his fingers against Liu Yan's throat and ask him angrily "how can he do anything to the common people"; he would also tell him "don't be afraid of killing people, the heroic souls of the special forces are guarding you".

His principles and stance are firm, and he can be called the spiritual pillar of the entire team. As long as he is around, Liu Yan will not be afraid of making mistakes.

"Can't sleep." Lai Jie said, "Still afraid? Is it the first time to kill someone?"

Liu Yan said, "Don't be afraid anymore."

Rai Jie said: "You threw the bomb very well. You were just a student before, but now you are a member of the special forces."

"When dealing with ordinary people, you must pay attention to your words and deeds. As long as you can stand your ground in front of the elders, when the situation forces you to kill someone, the entire country will become your strongest backing. Your beliefs stand behind your hand that shoots."

"Yes." Liu Yan smiled.

Lai Jie patted Liu Yan's head.

"Is it difficult to deal with here?" Bai Xiaodong didn't fall asleep either, and asked beside Liu Yan: "Is it difficult to deal with?"

Liu Yan said: "Do you need to think of a way?"

"No no." Lai Jie said: "Liu Yan, I know how clever you are, don't let the crooked idea of putting zombies in to scare them..."

Liu Yan turned over and smiled bitterly. He really thought about using this method when he was sleeping just now. Go out and find some zombies to put in, and the villagers will have to leave.

"This is not the most difficult place to deal with." Lai Jie lowered his head and took off his mitts and military boots: "Sorry..."

Liu Yan: "It doesn't matter if your feet don't stink. What is the most difficult situation you have ever encountered?"

Lai Jie: "Yongwang Town, your territory is the most difficult place of all the missions I have performed. Thanks to you for finally figuring it out."

"I only have two teammates, Wu Shuangshuang and Li Yan. I have been vaccinated, and I can only draw with Meng Feng in hand-to-hand combat. Zhang Min's gun can kill us at any time. You have not done anything bad, but entertained us instead. It's impossible for me to be ruthless, and even if I use force, I will only lose. Your electric towers, flamethrowers... that pile of high-destructive weapons can't be dealt with at all."

Liu Yan said: "But in the end you still won."

"That's right." Lai Jie said: "It's very dangerous. If you can't resolve it peacefully, you still have Hu Jue and Tang Yichuan. My little shrimp is not pleasing to the eye... Put pressure on the United Front Work Department, I will have to walk around, waiting to be downgraded and punished. What a fucking thankless job, sleep, sleep, I hear your stomach It's calling again, no wonder Meng Feng always said you can't get enough..."

"You are enough." Liu Yan said coldly.

"I can't get enough..." Bai Xiaodong said, "What do you mean?"

Liu Yan: "..."

"Bai Xiaodong, when I go back, I'll introduce a kid to be sworn brothers with you." Liu Yan said, "You two must get along very well, both of you are from alien planets."

The rain at night was pattering, and the drizzle enveloped the mist in the mountains, stuffy and damp, like a layer of oil sticking to the body.

Meng Feng walked to the well beside the village, fetched a bucket of water, took off his coat and vest, poured a bucket of water down his head, and let out a comfortable breath.

He put his clothes on his shoulders, and with his fit upper body bare, he sat bowed by the well and smoked.

In the distance, a woman was leaning on a cane, staring blankly at Meng Feng.

After smoking a cigarette, Meng Feng got up and looked around, approached a private house softly, ducked behind the wall, and looked around—there was a kitchen.

Like a big horse monkey, Meng Feng went in and rummaged through the villager's cabinets, water tanks, stove cutting boards, and bamboo baskets in the drawers, found a bag of fried noodles, and carried them out in his arms.

A woman leaning on crutches at the door, her hair disheveled, her hair covering her face, said in a low voice, "Yeah..."

Meng Feng was so frightened that he nearly spilled fried noodles all over the floor, Zhuo Ting hurriedly said: "Do you... want to find something to eat?"

Meng Feng nodded, and said, "I found it, don't tell anyone. You blow me up once, and I steal your food, and we're even."

After Meng Feng left, Zhuo Ting hurriedly staggered and leaned on his crutches, followed behind Meng Feng, and said, "You... wait."

"What?" Meng Feng turned around and asked in confusion.

They stopped by the side of the well, Zhuo Ting said: "Brother Mengfeng, I... I don't know how to apologize... What happened to the landmine last time..."

"It's okay." Meng Feng said, "I'm already healed."

Zhuo Ting said in a low voice: "My brother... I'm afraid that you will convict me and that I will be sentenced after I go to the refuge, so I don't want to follow you. I will try to persuade him. After all, I made a mistake."

Meng Feng motioned her to sit down by the well fence, Zhuo Ting was covered with injuries, and couldn't help shaking when she sat down.

"What did you do in the past?" Meng Feng said.

"Preschool education." Zhuo Ting said: "Last year I took the children into the mountains, and it was fine at first. Chalongxi and my brother had a falling out, and it was useless for me to lock the children up."

Meng Feng looked at Zhuo Ting, Zhuo Ting said: "Zha Longxi threatened me with the children and my brother, I have no choice..."

Meng Feng said: "Have all your students survived?"

Zhuo Ting nodded and said, "I deserve to be punished. Don't worry about what my brother said. The children need a safe place."

Meng Feng said casually: "Liu Yan and I are together, I can express his position on his behalf, we both forgive you, and the other Bai Xiaodong, you can talk to him."

"Thank you." Zhuo Ting whispered.

Meng Feng said: "I see that Xiaodong is treating you for you, so I should forgive you too."

Zhuo Ting nodded.

"So, you can forgive yourself." Meng Feng said: "You are different from us, you are not a soldier, don't blame yourself too much, see you by fate."

Meng Feng left with the fried noodles, and Zhuo Ting sat by the well fence for a while before going back to her room.

Meng Feng took a pen, drew a heart on the paper bag outside the chow mein, put it lightly on the side of the coat that Liu Yan was pillowing on, and went to patrol, like a clumsy and careful big bear trying to please his wife .
