Chapter 676 Reunion
"I'm talking to Boss Wang!"

"Master Wang!"

"Can we go to your house now?"

Yu Xiaoqing left, taking his trusted elite soldiers with him. Milong stuck to Wang Zhong like a dog-skin plaster.

“Look who that is?” Wang Zhong smiled and pointed to a woman standing on a platform at the top of a slope in the distance.

Milong looked in the direction Wang Zhong pointed. His body froze at first, his expression stunned. Then he jumped out like a rabbit, taking two steps at a time. In less than a moment he had rushed up the slope, climbed up the steps, and stood in front of the woman and the child she was holding.

Just as Milong ran up, a pretty young woman wearing a floral coat and with her hair simply tied up with a cloth also ran down the slope quickly.

"elder brother!"

When Xiaozui ran up to Wang Zhong, there was already a lot of sweat on his forehead and his breathing was a little rapid.

"Why are you running so fast!" Wang Zhong raised his hand and rubbed Xiaozui's head out of habit, saying softly, "It would be a disaster if you fall."

"I heard that the Sichuan Army is back!" Xiaozui said excitedly with tears in his eyes and a smile on his lips, "I thought it must be you guys, so I quickly went to find Sister Shangguan and Baoer to find you together."

"I'm sorry to have made you worry." Wang Zhong took out a golden pocket watch from his arms and handed it to Xiaozui: "This is a gift for you, see if you like it."

"Brother! You don't have to bring me a gift. Your safe return is the best gift for me!" If it were any other time, Xiaozui would never say such words.

Wang Zhong said, "How are you doing recently? No one is bullying you when I'm not here, right?"

Xiaozui hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, the neighbors are all good people and they are very nice to me."

"That's good!" Wang Zhong said, "Let's go. I'm hungry and want to eat the meal you cooked."

"Look at me! How could I be so stupid? I knew you just came back from the other side, but why didn't I think that you were hungry!" Xiaozui slapped his forehead and said with a look of self-blame.

"It's not too late for us to go back now!"

"By the way, is there any meat at home?"

Xiao Zui said hurriedly: "My family hasn't eaten meat for a few days. I'll go buy some now!"

Just as Xiaozui was about to leave, Wang Zhong grabbed him and said, "No need to buy it, I have some on me!"

As he spoke, Wang Zhong moved the package hanging on his shoulder to his chest, reached inside, and pulled out a can with the words "Japanese Army" written all over it.

"It's beef, captured from the Japanese." Wang Zhong handed the can to Xiaozui.

Xiaozui took the can and looked at it curiously: "Is this a Japanese can?"

"Let's study it slowly when we get back!" Wang Zhong said with a smile, "I'm hungry! I want to eat the rice you steamed."

Xiaozui immediately smiled and said, "Let's go home!"

"Brother, were you the ones who went to Nantianmen to fight the Japanese that day?"

"Yes!"

"I heard from a fellow villager named Zhang Lixian in your team that you carried a big rock by yourself that day, walked all the way from the other side to this side, and then carried another rock back by yourself?"

"Zhang Lixian?" Wang Zhong did not directly answer Xiaozui's question, but asked curiously: "How do you know him?"

"That time I heard that the Sichuan Army had returned, but I waited in the house for several days and didn't see you come back. I couldn't help but go to the military camp by the river to ask if you had returned. Then I met the man named Zhang Lixian, who was also from Sichuan."

"He was the one who came to tell me about the time you carried the stone across the river by yourself."

Wang Zhong said: "Yes, it happened. At that time, more than a thousand of our brothers were chased by the Japanese from Burma all the way to Nantianmen. They wanted to cross the river, but the bridge was blown up by the battalion commander in charge of river defense."

"The Japanese are right behind us. There are more than a thousand of us. They will never let us cross the river safely. I can't just come back and leave all my brothers on the other side."

Xiaozui nodded thoughtfully and said, "I heard that you won the battle at Nantianmen that time?"

"We won the battle!"

"With the support of artillery fire from the east coast, we launched a night attack and defeated at least two squadrons of the Japanese."

"So what? Why haven't you come back?"

"The main force of the Japanese army was right behind us, and if we had crossed the river at that time, we would not have been able to maximize our victory."

"Only if we can hold back the main force of the Japanese on the west bank and prevent them from attacking Zenda, will we have a chance to keep Zenda!"

"Otherwise, if all the Japanese troops come forward and cover us with firepower, it will be a question whether the river defense can be held."

The two of them chatted as they walked, with Xiaozui mostly asking questions and Wang Zhong answering.

"Not hot bro!"

"Haven't you always been inseparable from Master Wang? Why did he leave alone without taking you?" In the temporary base of the Third Battalion of the Sichuan Army, Meng Fanli limped to the door with a bamboo stick in his hand, twisted it into small sections, and threw it at Bula who was sitting under the eaves.

"Master Wang went to look for his sister, not to fight the Japanese, why should I go with him!" Bu La angrily threw away two pieces of bamboo sticks: "Fuck you, I'm annoying you, if you throw them again, be careful or I'll get angry with you."

"Yo! Brother Bula is really showing off!" Meng Fanle still looked like he deserved a beating.

“Ignore him!” Yao Ma, who was standing next to him, grabbed Bu La and pointed at his own head and whispered to Bu La, “This guy is crazy. Something is wrong here.”

"You have a problem with your brain!"

"You two are both mentally ill."

He was fed up with it and threw the bamboo sticks and the broken pieces at the two of them, then turned around and ran away.

But with only one good leg left, how could he possibly outrun Yao Ma and Bula, whose two legs were intact? He had only run a few steps when he was caught by the men on his left and right, who grabbed his arms behind his back and held them tightly.

"You bastard, I think you've really become sick from idleness!"

In fact, neither of them used much strength at all, but as for the hand-locking and counter-slamming move, those who have been hit by it know that as long as you are restrained, the opponent doesn't even need to use much strength to make you cry for your parents in pain.

"My two lords, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

"You bastard!" Yao Ma spat and let go of Fanla's hand.

"What are you doing!" "It's the wounded!"

"How could you do this to him!"

The vet popped out from nowhere.

"If you want to do it, you have to stuff his mouth shut. It would be best if you could find some needle and thread to sew it up."

"What's your business, you old bastard?" I was fed up and couldn't stand it anymore. What the veterinarian said was really a bit scary.

"Veterinarian, you're back? Didn't you go to take care of the wounded?" Bu La looked at the veterinarian curiously and asked.

The veterinarian said, "I'm already so old, my body is not as strong as you young people, how can I stand working every day! I also need to rest!"

"How are the wounded brothers?" Yao Ma asked with concern.

"It's OK. The injuries of the seriously injured have not worsened yet. But whether they can survive depends on their luck."

Speaking of the wounded, the veterinarian stopped joking and spoke to the others with a serious expression.

"Where's Li Ula?"

"He's almost recovered and can get out of bed now. He should be able to come back in a few days."

Li Ula is Li Liansheng. Apart from Milong, he is the only person from Northeast China in the entire Sichuan Army. Ever since he was rescued by Wang Zhong in the river valley, he has been recuperating from his injuries. He traveled all the way from the river valley to the British airport and then to Nantianmen. He should have recovered about 50% to 60% of his injuries by now, but because of the bumpy ride, his wounds have not been fully recovered.

"This guy is really lucky. He managed to survive this." If anyone had to say who was most deeply touched by this, it would be Yao Ma. At the beginning, he and Li Liansheng were trapped in that pocket-shaped valley by the Japanese with machine guns.

"Yes, it's dead, dead?" the veterinarian asked Long Wenjian.

"He's sleeping in the house!" Meng Fan said angrily, "This guy fell asleep as soon as he entered the shelter. He's like a dead pig. No matter how much I call him, he won't wake up."

"Let him sleep a little longer. He and Wang Zhong are really tired these days." The veterinarian sighed. As a doctor, although he has always been jokingly called a veterinarian by the cannon fodder, Hao Xichuan has received formal training after all, and he is not like those charlatans who swindle people under the banner of being a doctor.

"By the way, where is Wang Zhong? Why didn't I see him going to the wounded?" Speaking of Wang Zhong, Veterinarian Hao remembered that he didn't see Wang Zhong there just now.

"He fell asleep too?"

"Why are you sleeping? They have gone home!" Meng said in annoyance.

"Oh..." The veterinarian then remembered, "Maybe he went to see his sister!"

"What sister? I think it's a sweet sister!" Meng said in annoyance.

"Boss Wang is still tough, much tougher than the dead one." Suddenly another voice came from the side. It was not someone else, but the snake-butt Ma Dazhi.

"Dead, dead! When he saw Yu Xiaoqing, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He was just like a little wife being bullied by her mother-in-law." Following behind the snake was Kang Ya. This guy was lucky as he fought such a big battle but was still unscathed.

"I'm not hot, but I'm still very tough!"

"Shoot if you dare. If you dare to shoot, I will blow your head off!"

They half-jokingly talked about what happened at the city gate, the death of Wang Zhong, Wang Zhong's toughness, and Yu Xiaoqing's humiliation.

Especially when Yu Xiaoqing was frustrated, the cannon fodders began to imitate him unscrupulously.

At the same time, in Zenda City, Milong was teasing his newly met son Lei Baoer in the house. Wang Zhong was sitting on the recliner, looking in the direction of Nujiang River with his eyes closed. He was holding a small teapot in his hand and taking a sip from time to time.

In the kitchen, Xiaozui and Shangguan Jieci were busy steaming rice, frying mushrooms, and cooking chicken soup.

The chicken was an old hen that had just been killed. It was originally intended to be kept for laying eggs, but Xiaozui insisted on replenishing Wang Zhong's body, so he and Shangguan Jieci worked together to kill the chicken.

"It smells so good!" The rich aroma of chicken soup gradually drifted from the kitchen to the yard.

Milong couldn't help but sigh. They hadn't had a few hot meals in nearly a month on the other side. Every day they had either canned food, biscuits or other dry food. Now, when they smelled the delicious chicken soup, their appetite could no longer resist.

Milong's adopted son Lei Baoer was also attracted by the rich smell of chicken soup. He turned his head to look in the direction of the kitchen and swallowed his saliva unconsciously.

"It's time to eat!" Soon, Xiaozui and Shangguan Jieci brought out the steaming hot food from the kitchen.

"The chicken soup needs to be boiled for a while. Let's eat it first. It will be ready in a while."

Mi Long rubbed his hands, already impatient, but Wang Zhong said calmly: "Take Lei Baoer to wash her hands, and you have to wash yourself too. You are not allowed to eat until you wash them clean."

"I·······"

Milong opened his eyes wide and wanted to refute, but the person opposite him was Wang Zhong. Killing the Japanese was like killing chickens, unlike that fake one. Even if Milong was a fierce man, he didn't dare to stroke Wang Zhong's tiger whiskers. He could only obediently pull Lei Baoer to the side to wash their hands.

"Uncle Wang, look!" Lei Baoer came up to Wang Zhong, raised her hands high, and let Wang Zhong examine her.

"Good! It's OK!" Wang nodded again, and Shangguan Jieci handed the bowl and chopsticks to Lei Baoer.

Wang Zhong naturally washed his hands before sitting down at the stone table and picking up his bowl and chopsticks to prepare for dinner.

"By the way, Xiaozui, I forgot to ask you just now, how are you doing with the things I taught you?" After taking a few bites of the meal, Wang Zhong remembered that on the way back just now, Xiaozui had been asking him all kinds of questions. After he came back, he lay down on the recliner and took a nap without checking Xiaozui's learning progress at all.

Xiaozui stuck out his tongue, not daring to look Wang Zhong in the eye: "I'm too stupid, I can't learn as fast as Sister Shangguan."

"Oh?" Wang Zhong looked at Shangguan Jieci in surprise: "You learned it too?"

Shangguan Jieci nodded and said, "I'm just sitting around doing nothing at home, so I thought about helping Xiaozui."

Wang Zhong said: "Don't worry, I don't mean to blame you."

"But since you have a talent for this, then you should study hard. We have just settled more than 200 wounded soldiers. When the time comes, you two can go over and be nurses to help take care of the wounded. You can learn while practicing, and maybe you can become doctors in the future."

That's right, from the beginning, Wang Zhong wanted to train Xiaozui to be a nurse, and then teach her some medical skills, let her join his army, follow the veterinarian as a nurse, help take care of the wounded, and learn medical skills.

It could not only temper her impetuous and careless character, but also equip her with a skill so that she could make a living in the future without having to go back to the old path.

"I'll forget it, Bao'er is still young!" Shangguan Jieci looked at his son beside him, his eyes full of love: "You can't live without someone by your side."

Although Lei Baoer is sensible, he is still just a child of four or five years old. It is his nature to be playful and he really needs someone around him.
