Soldier Assault Commander

Chapter 71 Help, meet a veteran
71 Helping out, encountering veterans by chance
dusk.

Not a wide mountain road.

The three soldiers ran in the direction of the 702 regiment station.

The leader, Xu Sanduo, was running and dragging the two guys behind with his backpack straps, like a tracker, he was also out of breath and very tired.

Among the two guys behind, one was relatively relaxed and kept urging: "Xu Sanduo, hurry up, you're stepping on ants." The other was staggering, his breathing was disordered, and he looked like he might fall to the ground at any time.

After running for about one kilometer, Xu Sanduo couldn't run anymore, and his speed gradually slowed down, and his running turned into a small step, while Bai Tiejun behind him started walking directly.

"Xu Sanduo, Bai Tiejun, run!" Fade Chen turned his head and took a look, and scolded.

"I can't do it anymore!" Bai Tiejun simply stopped his body and did not move. At this time, Xu Sanduo in front pulled, but he was also exhausted and couldn't move anymore.

Fade Chen was also very tired, but he still felt that he should persevere. The exercise at this time is the most effective. He turned his head to look at Bai Tiejun, but before he could speak, Bai Tiejun pointed with his finger: " Look, someone over there needs help."

Chen Fei knew that this must be Bai Tiejun's evasive words, but he still couldn't help but looked in the direction Bai Tiejun pointed at. After a glance, he realized that what Bai Tiejun said was actually true. On one side, on a country road more than 300 meters away from them, an old man was riding a tricycle up a slope, but because the slope was relatively steep and the things on the car were heavy, he tried hard to pedal a few times without success. Can succeed, but the tricycle backed down.

Bai Tiejun let out a breath, and then said weakly: "The military and civilian family, the common people are in trouble, how can we people's soldiers remain indifferent, go, go and help!" He took the backpack in his hand as he said As soon as he lost it, he turned around and walked over there.

Chen Fei knew that Bai Tiejun just wanted to be lazy, but at this moment, the reason he gave was really irrefutable. The old man over there really needed help, so he and Xu Sanduo looked at each other, and after a while, he followed suit. After walking over, Xu Sanduo hastily put away his backpack and chased after him.

Bai Tiejun walked towards the old man's house first, but his walking speed was too slow, like stepping on ants, so Chen Fei arrived at the old man's house first, and Xu Sanduo quickly caught up.

"Old man, let's help you!" Fade Chen came to the back of the old man who was struggling to pedal the tricycle, shouted, and then quickly held down the tricycle that was going backwards. Xu Sanduo also rushed up and exerted strength together.

The old man looked back at Fade Chen and Xu Sanduo, and seeing that they were members of the army, a kind smile suddenly appeared on his frowning face: "Thank you two little comrades, I will trouble you!"

"You're welcome, old man, the military and civilian families are close!" Fade Chen opened his mouth and came.

The old man laughed, and kicked the tricycle with strength on his legs.

With the help of Chen Fei and Xu Sanduo, the old man quickly rode the tricycle up to the top of the slope.

call--

Fade Chen breathed out, and then raised his eyes to look around. When he found that the nearest village was still about a mile away, he asked, "Old man, where do you live?"

"It's not far, just ahead, Yangcun!"

Fade Chen took a look at the tricycle. The tricycle was filled with a lot of agricultural products dug out from the ground. It was a small cart full, but it was still very heavy, so he said, "Old man, shall we help you push it home?"

"No, no, no! Comrade, thank you, but you really don't need to bother, my house is just ahead, not far away, and this section is all flat roads, there is no need to go uphill."

However, Fade Chen gave Xu Sanduo a wink, and the two of them pushed together. Fade Chen said while pushing: "Old man, don't be polite, military and civilian families, don't see outsiders."

Fade Chen and Sanduo Xu were pushing the tricycle. Seeing that Fade Chen and Sanduo Xu insisted, the old man couldn't say anything more. He just leaned over and pedaled hard, so the speed of the tricycle suddenly increased.

"Wait for me—you wait for me—"

Bai Tiejun, who had just climbed up the hill, saw Fade Chen and Xu Sanduo running away in a hurry, and shouted quickly, but Fade Chen and Xu Sanduo ignored him. He ran forward for three or four steps, and then simply stopped, looked left and right, I found a piece of grass, and fell asleep all at once, stretched out in all directions, like a big character, not too big, but big, that point is too small, almost negligible.

front.

Chen Fei and Xu Sanduo pushed the tricycle into a small courtyard.

The yard is not too big, nor is it good. The house is old, and every part is very old, but the inside is tidy, and there is a sense of tidiness from the inside to the outside.

"Old man, are you alone at home?"

Fade Chen looked around and was very surprised.

"Well, my son and daughter are both working out of town, and my wife has passed away for many years, so I am the only one at home." The old man replied with a smile while pouring water for Fade Chen and Xu Sanduo deftly.

Fade Chen was really thirsty, so he didn't leave immediately, and planned to drink some water before leaving.

"Come on, two little comrades, drink some water first!" The old man handed over two cups. The cups were both glass cups. They were clean and seemed to be wiped often. They were very bright. Boiled water is suitable for drinking dry in one sip.

Goo-dong, goo-dong, goo-dong.

Fade Chen finished drinking in one go, wiped his mouth, and returned the cup to the old man.

"Little comrade, have another drink?"

"No, we're running, so we can't drink too much."

At this time, Xu Sanduo was still drinking water in small sips, so Chen Fei asked casually: "Old man, is your birthday this year?"

"It's almost eighty!" the old man said as he walked inside.

After hearing this, Fade Chen widened his eyes and looked at the other party up and down: "Old man, have you been a soldier before? Otherwise, it is impossible for you to be in such good health, and you can still work in the fields when you are almost [-]?"

The old man laughed: "In our generation, there are a few people who have never been soldiers. If they don't take up guns and fight the enemy, they will lose their homes. Those of our generation who can live to this age will die. It's big, or it's in good health, haha, I'm lucky, I have both!"

After hearing this, Fade Chen nodded. What the old man said made sense.

At this time, Xu Sanduo finished drinking the water.

"Old man, let's go!"

"Wait a minute!" The old man came out with a plate, which contained a lot of melon seeds and candies. He brought the plate to Fade Chen and Xu Sanduo: "Come, eat some candy to satisfy your hunger."

"No, no, no!" Fade Chen and Sanduo Xu quickly refused.

"The military and civilian families are what you said, why, if you can help me, I can't treat you to eat?" The old man was unhappy, and his face sank.

When Fade Chen saw it, he quickly smiled and said, "Okay, old man, let's eat then!" He grabbed a few candies and melon seeds while talking, and Xu Sanduo also grabbed a handful following him.

"Old man, let's go first!" Fade Chen and Xu Sanduo hurriedly bid farewell.

"Okay, then you go slowly, come to my house to play when you have time!" The old man smiled and sent them to the entrance of the village.

Fade Chen and Xu Sanduo trotted all the way, and it took several minutes before they returned to Bai Tiejun.

"Why did you come back?" Bai Tiejun muttered dissatisfiedly, he had almost rested now, he was full of energy, and he was ready to complain about others.

Fade Chen slapped the candy he brought from the old man's house into Bai Tiejun's hands. When Bai Tiejun saw it, his eyes lit up, and he stopped talking. He ate it and said, "You guys Why don't you catch more—"

Fade Chen rolled his eyes at him: "He is a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War, do you have the nerve to take more?"

"Veterans of the Anti-Japanese War—"

The three trotted up again.

When the three of them ran back to Wu Liuyi, Wu Liuyi's face was gloomy like the sky about to rain, and the three of them were still more than 200 meters away from him. Is it? It’s almost 10 minutes! I just told you to run at your own pace, not at the pace of a snail. Look, what time is it now?”

He raised the stopwatch in his hand.

When he ran in front of Wu Liuyi, Bai Tiejun said weakly: "Squad deputy, we are not lazy, are we going to help an old soldier?"

"Old soldier?" Wu Liuyi sneered.

Bai Tiejun hastily added: "Yes, squad deputy, when we came back, we saw a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War riding a three-wheeled motorcycle climbing a hill. It was very difficult, so the three of us hurried up to help him push the car to his home. This time around, it will be delayed."

But when Wu Liuyi heard this, not only did he not alleviate the blame for the three people, but he also showed disdain on his face: "A veteran of the Anti-Japanese War? Bai Tiejun, you can do it, the ability to make up stories is getting stronger and stronger! Veterans of the Anti-Japanese War Made it up!"

"Squad deputy—" Bai Tiejun wanted to argue again.

But Wu Liuyi didn't give him a chance, and immediately shouted angrily: "Bai Tiejun, tell you, there are no veterans within a radius of fifty miles. We visit veterans every year, and the nearest place is seventy miles away! You just want to Liar, you also make up a better story!"

After hearing this, Bai Tiejun turned his head to look at Fade Chen aggrievedly.

Chen Fei was also taken aback, and couldn't help asking: "Squad deputy, what did you just say, you said there are no old soldiers nearby?"

Wu Liu's attitude towards Fade Chen was better, but he was still a little unhappy, with a gloomy face: "Yes, we visit soldiers every year, but not in this area."

After hearing this, Fade Chen became more and more confused.

No, that old man is obviously a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War, and he didn't deny it when I asked him before!
"Squad deputy, but the old man we went to help just now, he really looks like a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War, and I asked him, and he didn't deny it!" Fade Chen said seriously.

"Huh?" Wu Liuyi frowned.
