Rise from eight hundred.

It is said that people who are close to home are timid, even those who are as free and easy as Tang Dao are no exception.

Along the way, the five members of Tang Dao almost never rested, and the boat they took was a specially chartered steamer to go up the river. Even so, it still took seven days to arrive from Jiangcheng in northwest Sichuan. Jin Xi.

Seven days is enough time for Tang Dao, who is already mentally strong, to do all kinds of psychological construction.

In his last life, Tang Dao left his parents and joined the military camp. He also had family leave once a year. Although not many people went back because of the busy military affairs, he was able to see his parents and watch their temples turn gray year by year.

But in this life, he is in the body of a son, but his soul is a different person. For a moment, Tang Dao, who is as strong as Tang Dao, does not know how to face his 'strange' parents, especially when he enters the border of Jinxi County. It was less than thirty miles away from home.

Jinxi is connected to the northwest of Aba Maoxian County and to the southwest is Shifang, a typical mountainous landscape. Riding a military horse along the mountain road, looking at the sunset gradually sliding down from the top of the mountain, Tang Dao, who was leading the way, suddenly slowed down his horse's hooves.

The four people following may not be aware of the complexity of their commander's heart, but they can feel the commander's hesitation of being close to home. This is the commander's own private matter, and no one can interrupt. They all lightly tighten the reins and slow down the horses' hooves, quietly. followed Tang Dao.

"Da Yu, tell me, when you return to your hometown one day, what will your grown-up brothers and sisters do to you? Will they resent you for not returning for so long?" Tang Dao looked at the sunset and suddenly lowered his voice. asked in a voice.

"Sir, my brothers and sisters will definitely jump up with joy when they see me, especially the little carrot head who will definitely jump into my arms. I'm afraid that I'm not strong enough to hold so many brothers and sisters." Xia Dayu Answer without hesitation.

"What they hope most is that I am still alive, not that I will not come back. I told them before I left that after fighting the Japanese, I would come back to find them. I will definitely be able to do it."

"Are you so confident?" As he muttered to himself, Tang Dao's originally confused eyes gradually became firmer.

"Of course, I'm not sure if it were another commander, but if I follow the commander, I will definitely go back to find my brothers and sisters alive. That's what I promised them. The little carrot head hanged with me on a hook and won't change for 100 years. That’s it.” Xia Dayu nodded firmly.

"Haha! That's right. We will all live to see victory, including my old man and grandma!" Tang Dao laughed loudly, shook the reins and roared softly: "Drive!"

The war horse suddenly accelerated and ran wildly along the mountain road towards home.

yes!So what if the soul has been replaced?This body is still born and raised by the middle-aged couple. Even though a hundred years have passed, the spirit of the Chinese soldiers' resistance to war has never been timid.

He, their son, has never changed!

The thirty-mile mountain road seemed very short, but once it was time to return home, it was a bit long. It was not until the lanterns came on that Tang Dao led a few people to the front of the house that was extremely familiar in his memory.

It was a rather ordinary courtyard in Sichuan Province, with a total of three wing rooms in the east, west and south plus a small courtyard.

Although it was only after eight o'clock in the evening, the courtyard door was already locked, which was quite in line with the extremely cautious nature of his father in Tang Dao's memory.

Although the Tang family is not one of the richest households in this mountainous county, it is definitely no problem to be ranked among the top five. Thanks to the secret brewing recipe passed down from ancestors, the Tang family's Baogushao craft beer has been sold not only throughout the county, but even far away. Sold to big cities like mountain cities.

This caution may be due to inheritance in the genes. Ever since the generation of the great-grandfather, the Tang family has strictly adhered to the principle of not exposing their wealth. Tang Dao's parents already belonged to a branch of the Tang family and built a three-bedroom house with east, west and south. The Tang family's ancestral home It's just called a shabby one, and it's not much different from ordinary people's homes.

It is estimated that everything must be reversed, but when Tang Dao came here, he embarked on a completely different path from his ancestors. Not only did he choose to join the army extremely imprudently, but he also went to the front line without hesitation, and even left without telling his parents. .

Of course, the Tang family adheres to the family management method of not revealing their wealth, but they are definitely not the Grandet type. Whenever there is a major change in the family of a tenant farmer, the Tang family never stingy with money and food. Tang Dao's memory told him that every time Every year, my father would burn some old IOUs.

"If people are kind, even if good fortune has not yet come, misfortunes are far away!" This is a saying that Tang Jili, the old man of Tang Dao, often talks about.

Tang Dao didn't understand it when he was a boy, but he always thought it was very powerful. When he reaches adulthood, he may be able to understand some of the artistic conception.

In slightly remote mountainous areas such as Jinxi, especially during the Erliu War in Sichuan Province, there were continuous wars for several years. The social order has long been broken down, and there are not many bandits, but there are many.

I don't know how many wealthy families have to maintain servants at home and have enough personal weapons to keep the family safe, but the Tang family is an exception.

There are a total of three servants in the family. One is Tang Dao's grandfather's book boy, who has been in the Tang family for 60 years. Tang Dao has been called uncle since he was born; A crazy man came back. Although he was tall and strong, his brain was not very good. He could only do menial work, but he was the only one in the Tang family who had military value. The other was an employee of the Tang family who died of illness and stayed behind. An orphan, this boy with no relatives has stayed in the Tang family as a book boy for Tang Dao since he was seven or eight years old. He is only 20 years old.

In other words, if the Tang family, including Tang Dao, the only son, has a total of 6 people, if they encounter bandits who rob their homes, they basically have to pay the money and accept their fate.

But in this area, there were almost no bandits to attack. First of all, Tang Jili made Uncle Wang, a good friend. Uncle Wang, who served as a regiment leader in the army and had thousands of brothers, was not easy to mess with. Who could rob him? The Tang family has to weigh the consequences no matter where they are bandits. In addition, the Tang family relies on the good popularity accumulated over decades in these ten miles and eight villages, and the hired labor tenants are all people from the same village or surrounding villages. As long as there is a little bit A slight commotion spread from one to ten, and within a short time hundreds or even thousands of people came to help with swords and guns.

Don't think that the hard-working people in the mountainous areas are easy to bully. The many wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains make them much tougher than the people on the plains.

The number of bandits ranges from dozens to hundreds, and the number is only a dozen or so. To fight against such a large group of village warriors is simply to lose your mind.

This is actually the main reason why Tang Dao is confident to recruit a thousand recruits in his hometown. You must know that in August and September last year, under the call of the 'King of Sichuan Province', the entire Sichuan Province had already recruited more than 20 soldiers. Young and strong.

Tang Dao walked along the way. Even though it was already night, there were no less than five waves of villagers who came to inquire with lanterns. However, the famous Young Master Tang did not need to sign up at all. As soon as his handsome face was revealed. Come on, here's the pass.

In the future, it will be a matter of using your face to enter the community.

Tang Dao could only take the trouble to explain that his visit to his hometown this time was a rare time between wars. He also hoped that his father and fellow villagers would not make a big fuss, let alone inform the Tang family to prepare in advance. He just wanted to quietly accompany the old man and his mother. Have a meal.

Everyone understands that although the young master of the Tang family has now reached the rank of colonel commander, the war is not over yet and he is far from being able to return to his hometown. If he doesn’t bother to travel far and wide, he can’t escape from his hometown and village!

The villagers who knew that Tang Dao had returned home all rushed home, thinking about the great joy of Tang Dao's return and what kind of gifts they would give to the Tang family tomorrow. However, there was no big mouth who ran to inform the Tang family before Tang Dao did.

Therefore, Tang Dao and his party of five people and ten war horses trotted all the way to the entrance of the village. Tang Dao dismounted and walked to the door of his house. At this time, the door of Tang's house was still closed, and only two big red lanterns flashed dim red light.

Tang Dao took a few steps forward and was about to knock the iron door knocker when he heard a dark head suddenly appear on the wall near the door in the courtyard, "I don't know where Brother Pao is coming from. It's getting late and the Tang family has closed its doors to thank guests." , please come again tomorrow."

The combination of the pure Sichuan accent and the nondescript ancient sayings made Tang Dao burst into laughter, and then he shouted: "Brother Pao, you are a hammer, Tang Xiaojiu, you are a melon. You have only been gone for a year, and you don't even recognize me." So."

Xia Dayu and Long Yan, who were following Tang Dao and carrying the gifts Tang Dao bought for his parents in the mountain city, looked at each other with shock written on their faces.

Good guy, Tang Xiaojiu, does this mean that there are at least nine brothers in Tuanzuo's generation?This is the legendary She Taijun alive!No wonder Tang Tuanzuo is so awesome, a future general of the Tang family!

The person on the wall was obviously very frightened. After being stunned for a long time, there was a muffled "plop" sound. The guy holding the Sichuan dialect and dragging Gu Yan fell straight off the wall and didn't say a word for a long time.

Just hearing that sound made him feel sad. The wall of Tang Dao's house was not high, it was only two or three meters long.

"The young master is back, madam, the young master is back, God has opened his eyes." A shrill howl sounded from the other side of the wall, resounding through the night sky.

Tang Dao's mouth twitched slightly.

What does it mean that God has opened his eyes?Damn it, I'm a disaster!
Also, I'm excited, but your kid opened the door for me!The ninth lao of the Tang family was obviously a little bit careless. Long Yan, who was standing behind Tang Dao with something in his hands, gave Xia Dayu a wink. Don't let this kind of thing go to the recruitment team.

Just like the voice-activated lights of later generations, Tang Xiaojiu's long and sad howl caused the lights in several rooms of the Tang family to light up one after another.

Long Yan, who was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back, finally looked forward to the sound of the door opening.

A hunched-over old man holding a lantern opened the door and looked out cautiously. Tang Dao took a few steps forward and shouted respectfully: "Uncle, it's me who's back!"

"Master, Madam, the young master is back. He is the real young master!" The old man, who was already over seventy years old, opened his eyes with some drowsiness, looked at Tang Dao intently for a few times, trembled, and carried a lantern. He ran towards the house.

Tang Dao
In my memory, the old man's legs and feet were not very agile when he went out for a walk, but this time, he ran very fast!Give him a gun and he can go to the battlefield.

The door opened quickly.

"My Tao Wazi! You are finally back. Mom misses you so much." Before Tang Dao could react, a thick figure with a strong fragrance jumped out from the door and directly took Tang Dao away. Hugged.

In addition to such a fierce embrace with Tantai Mingyue, Tang Dao rarely had such close contact with other people, especially the primitive instincts trained by two generations of soldiers on the battlefield. Faced with such an "attack", Tang Dao's muscles He tensed up out of habit, accumulating strength throughout his body.

But after hearing the word mother, Tang Dao relaxed and allowed the thick figure to hug him. His mother's arms should be the safest place in the world!
Tang Dao in his previous life had never been hugged by his mother in such a big way since he entered his boyhood.

Although I'm not used to it, it feels pretty good.

Even though he was still a bit unfamiliar, even though the woman cried with snot and tears, and used her son's broad shoulders as a rag to wipe her nose from time to time.

The woman cried heartbreakingly, and Tang Dao was at a loss for a moment. He didn't know how to comfort her. He was in trouble.A rich male voice sounded in my ears: "Okay, okay, the baby is back, why are you crying! Don't let others laugh."

Of course, the only one who could say this was his father. Before Tang Dao had time to raise his head and take a good look at the cheap old man in his life, his mother, who had just hugged him to vent her emotions, became furious. She turned her head and pointed at her husband before scolding him. : "Tang Jili, do you have the nerve to say that? If you hadn't made such a cunning friend as Wang Jiutong, who says every day that my baby is a good soldier, would my baby be able to become a soldier?"

Are you still going to fight against that damned little Japan?This is the baby coming back. If you don't come back, I will put two bowls of arsenic in your bowl and let the father-in-law and mother-in-law underground beat you to death!There is also Wang Jiutong. I took the sorghum you brewed from Tangjili and burned it. I drank him to death. "

"You can just scold me if you scold me! It's none of Lao Wang's business!" The middle-aged man, who was so thin that he was slightly stooped, defended his friend with an embarrassed expression. "No, Lao Wang, do you think your kid can be the leader?"

"Bah! Have you read the newspaper? My son can become a battalion commander or a regiment commander. He got it by fighting against the damn Japanese. If you continue to put money on the face of your little friend, you won't be able to enter the room for a month! "Ms. Tang Dao, who was stout and somewhat tough, had her eyebrows raised and her fingers were poking at Tang Dao's forehead.

"And you, why are you coughing? Don't think that pretending to be sick will make me let you go! None of you surnamed Tang is a good person. The younger one ran away without saying a word, and the older one even made a mistake when he was clearly wrong!"

Yes, as the saying goes: the father’s fault will be replaced by the son!Mrs. Tang Dao, who was trying to suppress her foul-mouthed husband, seemed to have forgotten that the person she was hugging just a moment ago was her little baby!

After all, children are just tools used by husband and wife to hurt each other when they quarrel!Tang Dao sighed slightly as he felt the carrot finger from his mother that never poked his forehead.

Seeing the chief's mother showing off her power, everyone, including Long Yan, who had the biggest mouth, looked at her nose and nose, pretending not to notice. In front of this man, the chief was just a little baby, who dared to laugh?
On the other hand, the three members of the Tang family who came out looked like they were used to it. This was simply a daily operation. What the hell!When the Tang family's mistress roared, hundreds of tanks of old wine in the Tang family's brewing workshop shook!
"Young Madam, the young master must be tired after returning home after a long journey. Should we let him and the military men go into the house to rest first?" the old man, who was already considered an elder, advised.

"That's right! My dear, are you injured in the battle with Little Japan? Come into the house and let mom take a look!" Madam Tang Dao realized at this time, her face full of distress.

"Mom, don't worry, I'm the only one who kills Japs, and no Japs have ever hurt me!" Perhaps it was the memory of his body, but Tang Dao's mother's cry was without any hesitation.

Even bragging is natural!

A few people headed by Xia Dayu and Long Yan nodded desperately to prove that our officers can both fight and blow!
"You are just like your old man, you know how to fool me!" Mrs. Tang Dao, who was laughing through tears, finally pressed her finger hard on Tang Dao's forehead.

"Come on, Tao Wa'er, come and sit in the room. Uncle Gui, could you please go and bring up the big plate of twice-cooked pork left in the kitchen? I, Tao Wa'er, like to eat fatty meat the most.

Ah Gen went to cook the bacon. Ah Jiu, please serve tea to the military masters. "Tang Dao's wife pulled Tang Dao and walked into the house while greeting her furiously.

When the lights in the room were bright, Tang Dao could clearly see his mother's appearance, and he probably knew where his unusually strong body came from.

It’s not because of the genes of a skinny, cheap old man. Let alone 1.8 meters. If he had enough milk when he was young, he would probably have no problem playing basketball.

Although Tang Mu was tough and tough, her name was very old-fashioned. Her surname was Xiao and her last name was Hanlian!The name comes from a line in the Book of Songs, "On the other side of the river, there are cattails and lotuses!" The lotus leaf means lotus.

I think Grandpa Tang Dao also wanted his beloved daughter to be as pretty as a lotus flower, so that he could show off his talents.

However, he seemed to have forgotten that the poem was followed immediately by the words "There is a beautiful person, huge and tall", which naturally means that there is a handsome person with a slender figure and good appearance, but Grandpa Tang Dao may have never dreamed that he was so huge. It's literal!
With Mrs. Tang's size and tough temperament, she would have no problem carrying two kitchen knives to the door of her house, not to mention cutting off more than a dozen dog heads.

On the other hand, his father Tang Jili is very different from mother and son. The Sichuan native is not tall, and Tang Jili is a bit thin. Standing next to his burly wife and son, he looks even thinner.

"The newspaper said that you were injured when you were fighting with Little Japan. Are you ready now?" When Tang Dao sat down, Xiao Hanlian, who was sitting next to Tang Dao, took Tang Dao's hand and asked, her eyebrows filled with laughter. are all concerned.

"I'm not injured. It's all for publicity. It's what the government does. Old man, mom, you know." Tang Dao shook his head.

Tang Dao was very good at fooling his mother. In his previous life, every time he returned home, what he was most afraid of was that his mother would see the scars on his body. The tears shed by his mother would make him feel heartbroken but he didn't know how to comfort him.

"You know how to hammer, if you're not injured, why don't you write home to say you're safe? Your mother is worried about you, and you've lost so much weight without even noticing?" Tang Jili, who was sitting next to him, suddenly snorted coldly and patted her hard. Slap the table.

"Cough cough!"

Although his father's tone was stern, Tang Dao almost couldn't hold back his laughter.A mother with such a strong figure has actually lost weight?Old man, are you sure you are not telling a bad joke?

"Old man, the baby has just come home, what the hell are you doing?" The woman glared at her husband and turned around to comfort Tang Dao: "Don't pay attention to him, don't think he is fierce now. Ever since I heard that the 43rd Army rushed to the Songhu battlefield, I have been I have never had a good sleep again. I really lost more than ten kilograms of meat. Huh, how can I eat well and sleep soundly like me? My baby is blessed by the ancestors of the Tang and Xiao families, so how can anything happen?"

Judging from the body shape alone, Tang Dao felt that the truth of his mother's words was at least 90.00%.

"Humph, don't you worry? Don't you worry that you drag me to chat every night and dig out all the old sesame seeds and rotten millet things from decades ago? Can I sleep well and lose weight?" Tang Jili looked a little worried. He continued to use the sound from his nostrils to maintain his dignity as an father in front of his son.

Although that is actually quite futile.

Listening to his parents arguing with each other, Tang Dao smiled and said nothing, just listening quietly.

This is the feeling of home.

Only here, where steel is poured into iron, and the Predator will not frown when facing a hail of bullets, can he completely relax his mind!
