After retiring, she went to the countryside and was doted on by rough men

Chapter 41 Adversity sees the truth

Xia Zhi helped them untie the ropes on their bodies.

The four of Zhao Hong and the others were disheveled, their faces were bruised and purple, and they looked a little numb and dazed.

Seeing their miserable appearance, Xia Zhi couldn't say anything.

This is the reclamation area. It is not so beautiful here. The cruel life that we will meet here is that after leaving a certain range, no one can stop it.

Zhou Zheng'an led his comrades to dig a pit and bury the male comrades guarding the stele with a look of grief and indignation.

Solemnly, a new mound of earth was raised next to the boundary marker.

The comrades guarding the boundary markers have sacrificed too quickly in recent years, because the foreign devils on the other side of the border make small moves from time to time.

The injured lesbian was bandaged, but she remained unconscious and had to go back as soon as possible.

The four educated youths were terrified.

There is no rich place when the camel comes.

Only three female educated youths could be brought back.

There is one person who cannot go back.

But at this moment, Zhao Hong and the others were already terrified, holding the hands of those little soldiers tightly.

"Don't leave us, please, don't leave us."

"We don't run anymore, we don't run anymore."

"I can't stay here, I can't stay here again."

The four educated youths cried heartbreakingly.

Looking at the situation, it was clear that the four of them must not be left behind, as it would probably lead to a nervous breakdown.

Zhou Zhengan jumped off the camel.

"Xiao Wei, take them back. You are familiar with this road. I will stay here. After you go back, drive over to pick me up."

Right here at the border.

In any case, they have to leave one person here.

Xiao Wei complained a little, the captain has been tired for so long, yet he left the captain here alone.

At this moment, Xia Zhi also jumped off the camel.

"Go back, Captain Zhou and I are waiting for you to pick me up here."

Xia Zhi couldn't bear Zhou Zhengan to stay here alone, this is the boundary, if something happens, no one can guarantee it.

Anyway, the two are friends, and Zhou Zhengan regards him as a true friend.

After all, I have eaten so much food from others, so I can't leave my friend here alone.

When Xiao Wei and the others heard this, they couldn't help but have a little more interest in their eyes.

"Okay, captain, then we'll go back first, you and Comrade Xiao Xia will wait here for us to pick you up."

Everyone knows that the captain treats Xiao Xia differently from others.

If it was said that they thought it was unbelievable that the captain took a fancy to Xiaoxia, a female educated youth from the city, after all, to them, urban women are coquettish and delicate, so there is nothing they can do.

Toss No.1.

Although the ratio of male to female here is out of balance, for the four educated females like Zhao Hong, no one would think of them.

No one wants to marry a wife with a tossed face when she comes home.

At this moment, they suddenly understood the advantages of Xiao Xia, even they could see it, not to mention the captain is still the captain, it is really the first to act first.

A group of lads laughed and got on the camel.

Zhao Hong and his four female educated youths also got on the camel with the help of the comrades nearby.

They left without looking back, never wanting to return to this place in this life.

Everything here is a nightmare for them.

Zhou Zhengan and Xia Zhi waved their hands towards the leaving figure.

"Someone just died here, aren't you afraid to stay here?"

Zhou Zhengan said while cleaning up the room.

Xia Zhi smiled, rolled up his sleeves and joined the ranks of cleaning up.

"Don't be afraid! It is our comrade who died. He left his life here forever, guarding the border for us. I am not afraid of our comrade."

I have encountered this kind of thing in my previous life, and everything happens on the border.

She is not afraid of ghosts.

To be afraid is to be afraid of the living.

Xia Zhi used a broom to sweep away the fallen leaves next to the wooden house.

Zhou Zhengan had already taken off his uniform outside.

Guang was wearing a green fleece underneath, and he was chopping firewood with an axe.

Xia Zhi carried the firewood that had already been chopped into the house, and lit the stove in the house.

The weather is too cold, this is not an underground nest, but the cabin is leaking air everywhere, if the firewood is not lit, it won't take long for the two of them, even if it takes two or three hours, they will probably freeze to death.

The temperature in the past two nights has dropped to nearly 20 degrees below zero.

The cooperation between the two can be regarded as a tacit understanding.

Xia Zhi rubbed her stomach, and she ate only one steamed stuffed bun. She didn't eat anything when she went out, and she had almost consumed it by now.

Looking at Zhou Zhengan's back outside the window, he knew that Zhou Zhengan was probably starving right now.

Zhou Zhengan eats a lot, he can eat others several times in one meal.

I rummaged through the cabinet against the wall, and found half a bag of flour, a jar of sauerkraut, dried vermicelli, and some potatoes and cabbage.

There should be a dozen or so eggs in the basket, but they were all picked up by the old man at the moment, and two or three eggs had been broken, and they were just spread out in the basket.

Seeing the clean and tidy cabinets, Xia Zhi knew that the husband and wife who lived here should be hardworking people.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling sorry, and looked at the boundary marker outside. In fact, there were several grave mounds behind the boundary marker.

Those are comrades who sacrificed their lives to defend the boundary markers.

They built this line of defense for the motherland with their lives.

Zhou Zhengan broke out in a sweat, carried all the chopped wood back into the house and put it against the wall, so that he didn't have to go out at night.

In fact, there is no need to go out at night, it is already late at night.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead with a towel, he saw Xia Zhi was fiddling with batter on the fire.

"What is this for?"

"You're not hungry, we're stutterers, anyway, they won't be here anytime soon."

It took a few hours to come, and I am afraid it will take a few hours to go back, and it will take a while to drive to pick them up again.

Xia Zhi pointed to the cauldron on the stove.

The earthen stove has two pots, and the vermicelli has been cooked in the other pot. After a while, a sauerkraut vermicelli is fried, and the egg pancake is baked by myself.

Of course, if conditions permit, maybe we can make some warm soup.

As soon as Zhou Zhengan heard about eating, a joyful smile appeared on his face. It was a kind of joy like seeing his lover soon.

Xia Zhi couldn't help being amused, sometimes he couldn't understand Zhou Zhengan.

Why is Zhou Zhengan so obsessed with food? Is Captain Zhou also a foodie?
But no matter what the reason was, she was going to fill her own stomach and Captain Zhou's stomach anyway.

The hot omelette was on the table, and the stir-fried vermicelli with sauerkraut was also put aside.

Xia Zhi also put the soup into the bowl.

"I don't know how many omelettes you can eat. I baked 12 omelets now, I eat two, and the remaining ten are all yours. If there are not enough omelets, there is still batter to make."

Zhou Zhengan poked his neck to look at the batter left on the stove.

"Otherwise, let's do all of them. I'm hungry. I think I can eat a cow."
