Zhang Tie acted in a play with his brother the night he woke up.
In the evening, Zhang Tie got dressed and drove a military vehicle left by the Iron Blood Battalion at the hospital and left the hospital. Zhang Tie, who still had difficulty moving his left hand, turned the steering wheel with his right hand and drove the vehicle. Behind the clothes, outsiders couldn't tell that he was physically injured.
This kind of car with a steam engine as the engine is very convenient to drive. The car only has one neutral gear, one front gear, one rear gear, one brake, and one accelerator. This is of course the name of the accelerator before the catastrophe, according to the current professional terminology. To put it simply, it is just a voltage transformer pedal for a car boiler. This pedal controls the output power of the steam engine at the front of the car.
Steam cars are easy to drive, and the fastest speed in the city can reach more than 100 kilometers per hour. The only disadvantage of this kind of car is that it takes at least half an hour to start the ignition every day. After the car's boiler is fired, it takes Slowly wait for the boiler pressure to rise to a certain level before the car can start. Fortunately, the car only needs to be ignited once a day. The rest is to regularly add coal and water to the car's filling bin and water injection port, and then turn on the car's automatic Just pour out the ashes in the ash box.
The Iron Blood Battalion is the most mechanized battalion in the Thirty-ninth Division. Only the third platoon of the fifth company of the Tiexue Battalion where Zhang Tie is located has five or two vehicles to use. Three of the vehicles are semi-covered wheeled armored personnel carriers, and the other two are five-seater military open-top off-road vehicles. As the third platoon leader Zhang Tie was actually assigned an exclusive off-road vehicle. Because he was in the hospital, the Iron Blood Camp left the vehicle in the hospital to facilitate Zhang Tie's travel.
Zhang Tie, who was driving a military vehicle, carried the gold coins he took out of Samira's wallet and drove directly to a rice store in Heiyan City. I bought two bags of rice at a rice store, had someone put the rice in the back seat of the car, and paid for it. Zhang Tie drove back and arrived at the door of his house.
On the way home, Zhang Tie felt really excited while driving. Zhang Tie's little vanity was satisfied again.
Zhang Tie estimated that the family was having dinner at this time. After honking the car's air horn twice, Zhang Tieren shouted from the car, "Brother, open the door quickly!"
The elder brother who had discussed it with Zhang Tie opened the door and walked out just after Zhang Tie shouted, with a look of surprise on his face and said, "Oh. You have learned how to drive. Come in quickly, we are eating!" "
"No. I've finished my meal. I just happened to go out for something today. I brought two bags of rice to my house on the way. I don't want you to have to buy it anymore. Brother, please take the rice out of the car first. I have something else to do, so I won't go in. House!"
"Okay!" The two brothers said while winking at each other. Zhang Yang took down the two bags of rice from the car. Zhang Tie's father and mother over there heard the sound and walked out.
A bright smile appeared on Zhang Tie's face. He raised his right hand vigorously towards his parents, "Mom and dad, I've brought you something to eat! How about it? I think your son is really good, he's already learned to drive!"
When they saw Zhang Tie appearing at the door of their home intact and with a smile on his face, Zhang Tie's father and mother indeed had a smile of relief on their faces.
"Go home and eat!"
"No, dad, I'll take you for a ride another day. I've finished eating, and I'm going out to do errands today and I'll buy you two bags of rice and deliver them over!"
"Guoguo. Are you okay?" Mom was about to come over as she spoke, "I heard that something happened to you during the duel today!"
Zhang Tie put his left hand on the steering wheel and beat his chest hard with his right hand. "I'm fine. What can happen? There were a lot of people in the school that day, so there was a little commotion. Your son, I'm fine, but I was almost killed by a bunch of people." The girls were eaten alive. Some people had some conflicts with the soldiers sent there by the Military Control Commission to maintain order, and were later arrested. Mom, please go back, I have something to do today, and I will come back to see you another day!"
Zhang Tie said, fearing that his mother might notice something when she came over, he waved his hand, stepped on the accelerator, and drove off.
Seeing that her son was fine, Zhang Tie's mother breathed a long sigh of relief. Zhang Tie's mother had been at home these two days. Zhang Yang said that Zhang Tie was fine, so Zhang Tie's mother believed it. She just went out today. While shopping for groceries, she heard someone talking about Zhang Tie's assassination, and Zhang Tie's mother was shocked. Not many people saw what happened in the school that day, so many versions were circulated later. Some said that the officers of the Norman Empire had a conflict with the onlookers during the duel. Some said that the man who was dueling with others had a conflict. An officer of the Norman Empire was assassinated, and some people said that soldiers of the Thirty-ninth Division went on a killing spree at the No. 7 Middle School. It was even rumored that the Gregory family planned a conspiracy and then the Thirty-ninth Division sent troops to surround the family castle, triggering a conspiracy. Yancheng is under martial law. Zhang Tie's mother and father have heard a lot in the past two days. They don't know which one is true and which one is false. They are just worried about Zhang Tie in their hearts.
Seeing Zhang Tie driving back happily, their hearts finally returned to their stomachs.
Zhang Tie didn't want his parents to worry about him.
After the performance at home, Zhang Tie was ready to go back to the hospital because he had to change his medicine at night.
…
Because it was dinner time, there were not many pedestrians on the road, so it felt particularly enjoyable to drive. The scenery on the roadside receded, and Zhang Tie seemed to have found the kind of spirit of running in the wind again. It felt like, in this refreshing enjoyment, Zhang Tie seemed to see Mother Teresa. Mother Teresa was standing on the roadside wearing a green nun uniform. There were a group of children beside her. Zhang Tie drove the car and the two of them They passed by each other in an instant. Zhang Tie's car ran more than 20 meters in an instant.
With a "squeak" sound, Zhang Tie suddenly stepped on the brakes. The car's tires drew a black tire mark seven or eight meters long on the cement road in Heiyan City. Zhang Tie reversed the car and retreated thirty meters behind.
It’s really Mother Teresa!
On the road, more than a dozen children stood on the side of the road. One child held a donation box in his hand, other children held pots of flowers and plants in their hands, and another child held up a paper sign with writing on it and wrote - We are very happy. Hungry!
Mother Teresa stood in the middle of this group of children, taking these children with her to collect donations from passers-by. Good-hearted people would receive a pot of flowers and plants from the hands of these children.
At this time, the lamplighters from Black Flame City were almost out, and there were only a few people walking on the road. The group of people standing on the roadside collecting donations looked particularly desolate.
Zhang Tie jumped out of the car and walked over. The children looked at him. Although Zhang Tie was wearing a military uniform, all the children recognized him.
This is the rice soup brother who used to deliver delicious rice soup to the orphanage every week...
"Brother Mi Tang..." Zhang Tie was instantly surrounded by a group of children. Zhang Tie looked at these children who looked up and looked cheerful. The oldest was only eight or nine years old, and the youngest was only four or five years old. Looking at them again, Looking at the sign that says "We're very hungry", I can't help but feel sad. After the price of food in the entire Black Flame City doubled, it was even difficult to run his own rice brewing business. Zhang Tie could definitely imagine the situation of Grandma Teresa's orphanage at this time.
When she saw Zhang Tie, the smile on Aunt Theresa's face was still the same as before, but after not seeing her for two months, Aunt Theresa seemed to feel a lot more haggard for Zhang Tie.
"Brother Rice Soup, can you still give us rice soup? We haven't had delicious rice soup for more than a month!" A little girl of six or seven years old pulled the hem of Zhang Tie's military uniform, a little timidly. He said, hearing the word rice soup, all the children surrounding Zhang Tie were swallowing hard, looking at Zhang Tie with pairs of bright eyes without blinking.
"Be good, brother will send you delicious food in a while!" Zhang Tie gently stroked the little girl's head.
Mother Teresa came over. Unlike these children, Teresa understood the meaning of the military uniform Zhang Tie was wearing. She hadn’t seen each other for more than two months. When they saw each other again, she didn’t expect that Qing Tie had delivered rice soup to Rong Guyuan. The young man has transformed into a second lieutenant officer of the Norman Empire. Even Zhang Tie's whole temperament has changed a lot.
"Aunt Theresa!" Zhang Tie greeted Aunt Theresa who came over.
"It seems that God's will has begun to appear in you!" Mother Teresa walked over and gave Zhang Tie a warm hug.
"How many days have these children not had enough to eat?"
"This month, the daily food expenses for these children can only allow them to barely eat half a meal, and the three meals a day in the orphanage have been changed to two meals. There is no other way, I can only take them out. Fundraising, if this continues, these children will have physical problems. The children I brought out are still in good health, but there are still some children in the orphanage who don’t even have the strength to walk!" Teresa Grandma said sadly.
"What does the Orphanage need most now?"
"Food, salt, and preferably a little sugar and alcohol!"
"Mammy, do you believe me?" Zhang Tie looked at Grandma Theresa seriously.
"Of course, kid!"
"Then, you and these little guys should go back to the orphanage now, boil the water, and clean the warehouse. I will bring these things over in a while!"
Taking a deep look at Zhang Tie, she kissed Zhang Tie's forehead again. Aunt Theresa didn't say anything, but her eyes were slightly moist. Aunt Theresa knew that the people in the orphanage Children, there is finally hope...
Zhang Tie touched the heads of the little guys around him and smiled, "You guys go back to Rongguyuan with your mama and tell the friends in Rongguyuan to get ready. Brother will bring you delicious food right away, okay? !”
"Okay!" The little guys nodded with bright eyes.
Zhang Tie stopped talking and waved to these people, turned around and jumped into the car, increased the accelerator and drove away... Watching Zhang Tie disappear at the end of the road, Mother Teresa said hello, We returned to the orphanage with these little guys who had been out for almost a day.
