When Xia Meng woke up again, it was already dark.

As soon as Xia Meng opened his eyes, the little soldier taking care of him noticed it.

"Comrade Xia, are you awake?"

Xia Meng nodded, and the pain came again. Xia Meng gritted his teeth and looked at the little warrior next to him.

"Where are we now?"

The little warrior smiled and explained to Xia Meng, "We are resting at the foot of a mountain now," and asked Xia Meng with concern,

"Comrade Xia, are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

Xia Meng nodded, "Okay, thank you."

The little warrior was young and had dark skin. When he smiled, he had a hint of childishness and shyness. "You're welcome, you're welcome," he said, and then he ran to get Xia Meng something to eat.

Marching was hard, and in addition, they had to take turns carrying Xia Meng and the other wounded soldiers. Many soldiers fell asleep as soon as they finished eating.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Xia Meng secretly brought a cup of spiritual spring water out of the space and drank it all in one breath. The cold liquid entered Xia Meng's body and quickly repaired Xia Meng's damaged cells and meridians.

After drinking a glass of spiritual spring water, Xia Meng finally felt much better. After drinking two more glasses, Xia Meng felt that she had some strength.

The little soldier came back with a bowl of porridge. Xia Meng was lying on a stretcher. It was inconvenient to drink the porridge, so the little soldier helped her up and leaned against the big tree.

On the march, conditions were limited, so we still ate wild vegetable porridge. The wild vegetables were freshly dug and contained meat, but it was still canned meat.

Xia Meng had been in a coma for so long and was a little hungry. She finished a large bowl of porridge.

The little soldier took the bowl and said, "Comrade Xia, do you want more?"

Xia Meng shook his head, "No, thank you!"

After the little soldier went to clean the bowl, he carefully put it away. It was said to be a bowl, but it was actually an aluminum lunch box.

Xia Meng had been in a coma for such a long time and drank the spiritual spring water. At this time, she was in good spirits. When she saw the little warrior sitting beside her with some restraint, she smiled and asked warmly,

"What's your name?"

The little warrior smiled at Xia Meng, showing his big white teeth, "My name is Liu Xuefeng!" Then before Xia Meng could continue to ask, the little warrior introduced himself,

"I am from Shan Province and I am 18 years old this year."

Xia Meng took a deep look at the little warrior, he had just grown up!

Xia Meng, "How many people are there in your family?"

Liu Xuefeng, "In addition to my parents, I have three brothers, two sisters, and one brother."

Xia Meng took a deep breath, seven children!

After a while, Xia Meng sighed, "Then your mother has really worked hard!"

"Yeah," Liu Xuefeng nodded, slowly relaxing and speaking more casually.

"My family is poor and has many children. It's very hard for my parents."

"Only one of my brothers is married, and the remaining two brothers are not yet married. My two sisters are all married. My parents kept the bride price from the two sisters and said that they would be used by my two brothers. ..."

"I am the pride of the village to be able to become a soldier!"

"I just want to work hard now so that I can get more monthly salary. Then I can mail all the money home to improve my family's living conditions."

At this point, Liu Xuefeng's tone slowly became lowered, "When my two sisters got married, they didn't even wear good clothes. When I get paid, I will definitely ask my parents to make more good clothes for my two sisters."

Speaking of this, Liu Xuefeng showed a proud expression on his face, but Xia Meng had a complicated look on his face, and there was a faint anger in his heart that he didn't know who to direct his anger at.

"What about you, Comrade Xia?" Liu Xuefeng asked Xia Meng, "Do you have many brothers and sisters?"

"Well..." Xia Meng took a deep breath, suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart, and thought for a while,

"My parents divorced when I was very young. They each remarried and had children. I grew up with my grandma."

"Huh?" Liu Xuefeng looked embarrassed, as if he was afraid of causing Xia Meng's sadness, and quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Xia, I didn't expect..."

Seeing Liu Xuefeng's cautious look, Xia Meng waved his hand, his tone was carefree and casual,

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay."

Seeing that Xia Meng really didn't care, Liu Xuefeng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xia Meng really didn't care, and there was no trace of sadness on his face or in his eyes. At the same time, he admired Xia Meng even more in his heart.

While the two were chatting, Battalion Commander Wang, who was lying on the stretcher, suddenly woke up.

Xia Meng's eyes lit up, and she turned sideways to talk to Battalion Commander Wang. Unexpectedly, as soon as her body moved, she felt a heartbreaking pain. Xia Meng took a breath, and immediately did not dare to move.

Camp Commander Wang opened his eyes and saw Xia Meng. A smile appeared on his weak and pale face. He looked at Xia Meng for a moment and said,

"Comrade Xia, I see you are in good spirits."

Xia Meng nodded, then handed his water bottle to Liu Xuefeng, "Give Battalion Commander Wang some water."

"Hey," Liu Xuefeng opened the kettle, walked over to Camp Commander Wang, and put the kettle to Commander Wang's mouth. Commander Wang drank a few sips of spiritual spring water and gradually became energetic.

Liu Xuefeng handed the kettle back to Xia Meng and asked Battalion Commander Wang, "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

Battalion Commander Wang nodded, "I'm indeed a little hungry."

Liu Xuefeng went to get food for Battalion Commander Wang.

Battalion Commander Wang asked Xia Meng, "Where are we now?"

Xia Meng shook his head, and his tone was somewhat casual, "I'm not sure, but it should be almost half the distance, right?"

Battalion Commander Wang nodded, and then looked at Xia Meng with a hint of hesitation.

Xia Meng raised his eyebrows, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Battalion Commander Wang smiled, approached first and said, "Xia Meng, you saved me and the lives of so many comrades. I don't treat you as an outsider, so I want to tell you a few words from my heart."

Xia Meng's expression straightened, "You tell me."

Battalion Commander Wang sighed, "I heard Battalion Commander Li and Company Commander Xu say before that you shot at the people of Yue Kingdom?"

Xia Meng nodded, but there was no regret on his face or eyes, and his tone was a little harsh.

"I don't think I did anything wrong. When they rob our soldiers, they are no longer civilians, they are robbers!"

"Hey," Battalion Commander Wang saw Xia Meng's firm tone and smiled helplessly and said, "The common people are not well-educated and often can't make sense. We have to be patient with them..."

Xia Meng looked unconvinced, "They are not ordinary people of our country."

Battalion Commander Wang choked and continued, "We are all proletarians. You, little comrade, should take a longer view..."

"If their government knows about this matter and publicizes it in front of their people, so that their people will think that we are soldiers like the Japanese, and they will be afraid when they see us and fight to the death with us, then we will have a big problem. Trouble!"

"They can even go to the international community to promote and smear our country's reputation. Our country is seeking to actively establish diplomatic relations with foreign countries. If they wantonly smear us, many countries will be unwilling to establish diplomatic relations and do business with us. We will still suffer the loss."

"Comrade Xia, I know you are doing it for everyone's good, but you have to find a way to do things and don't go to extremes!"

Although Battalion Commander Wang was not a political commissar, he was quite eloquent and began to give Xia Meng political and ideological lessons.

Xia Meng lowered his head, looking like he was being taught.

What Battalion Commander Wang said was not unreasonable, but Xia Meng didn't want to see soldiers sacrifice for no reason anymore!

It wasn't until Liu Xuefeng came back with a big bowl that Battalion Commander Wang stopped talking. He was worried that Xia Meng wouldn't hear it, so he asked again,

"Do you know where you went wrong?"

Xia Meng had no choice but to nod his head repeatedly, "I know, I know."

Battalion Commander Wang was then satisfied, holding the bowl and drinking the porridge slowly!

After a while, Battalion Commander Li and Company Commander Xu also came over.

The four of them were talking when suddenly a soldier ran over.

"Company Commander! Company Commander, there is a group of Yue people looking for us."

When Captain Xu stood up, the soldier said seriously, "Some of the people who came looked familiar, like they were from the village during the day."

"Huh?" Captain Xu frowned and asked in disbelief, "Did you see it clearly?"

When the soldier was asked this question, he was afraid of admitting the wrong person, so he became cautious in his answer, "70% sure."

That should most likely be true!
