his robbery

Chapter 38 Beijing

In the crisp autumn season, Huo Xiangzhen decided to review the whole brigade in Baoding.The brigade commander of this brigade has been held by him personally, and the officers of the whole brigade have also undergone a major change under his instructions.Resolutely dismantled and washed the entire brigade, he wanted to see if the team had been reborn.

As a result, during the review, the Third Battalion of the Second Regiment led by Gu Chengxi made a big splash.The third battalion was composed entirely of recruits, and I don't know how Gu Chengxi's soldiers were recruited. Not only were the young men full of energy, but they were even about the same height.There were several battalions of recruits, all of whom were trained together, and now that they were brought to the inspection field, they were immediately classified as high and low.Walking in unison means that the third battalion walks well, and turning back and forth, left and right means that the third battalion turns evenly.When it was their turn to shoot, the recruits of the third battalion were even more well-trained. They followed Gu Chengxi's slogan when they raised their guns and fired, without making any mistakes.When the third battalion walked out of the review field with a goose step, Huo Xiangzhen smiled and applauded lightly.Seeing them, the senior officers at the back immediately patted their horses and followed, and there was thunderous applause in an instant.

Ma Congrong stood straight behind Huo Xiangzhen, took a step forward at this moment, and said with a measured smile: "You still know people with your eyes, I didn't expect Gu Chengxi to have the ability to lead troops."

Huo Xiangzhen looked ahead and nodded, feeling almost surprised.He is a person who loves talents, and he always has a high regard for talents, even if they are unpopular.Gu Chengxi is of course still far away from the word "talented scholar", but with his background and knowledge, it is already unimaginable for Huo Xiangzhen to be able to make such achievements.

Those unbearable abuses before have gradually faded with time.Huo Xiangzhen passed that hurdle unknowingly, now that he has re-examined Gu Chengxi, the more he looks at him, the more he feels that he is not bad.Just because he was able to automatically train and study with the recruits at the beginning, it can be seen that he is a caring person and worthy of cultivation.Nothing is unachievable.

Huo Xiangzhen was very satisfied with this review.He is a generous man, and he rewards whoever pleases him.The officers and soldiers of the whole brigade have endured tremblingly for several months, and now they have finally received an amnesty and Dayang, and naturally they all want to revel.Huo Xiangzhen didn't care about others, and gave Gu Chengxi a vacation alone, allowing him to move freely, go back to Beijing for a rest, or go to Tianjin for fun.Standing in front of him, Gu Chengxi was flattered, so he said with a shy smile: "I'll go back to Beijing with the commander-in-chief. I haven't been home for a long time."

Huo Xiangzhen loves to drink tea very much recently, holding his egg-sized teacup, he shook his head and blew hot steam, then took a tentative sip: "Yes."

Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Gu Chengxi lingered and refused to leave: "Commander, I heard...you praised me?"

Huo Xiangzhen looked up at him: "What did Ma Congrong say?"

Gu Chengxi shook his head immediately: "No, I listened to others."

Huo Xiangzhen lowered his eyes and continued to blow: "That's right, I'm exaggerating."

Gu Chengxi chuckled: "Thank you, Marshal, for your compliment."

Huo Xiangzhen thought that the temperature of the tea was suitable, so she took a sip without thinking.Please remember me) as soon as he drank the hot tea, it was so hot that he gasped and frowned.But in front of Gu Chengxi, he still needs to maintain a little dignity.Swallowing the hot tea like burning charcoal, he didn't have the nerve to stick out his tongue, so he could only exhale calmly: "Don't be proud."

Gu Chengxi gave a military salute: "Yes!"

Huo Xiangzhen forced himself to wave his hand calmly: "Go down."

Gu Chengxi had a playful smile, reluctant to leave: "Did the commander burn just now? Shall I pour a glass of cold water for the commander?"

Without waiting for Huo Xiangzhen's answer, he stepped forward, picked up the big porcelain pot on the table and got a glass of water, and held it in front of Huo Xiangzhen with both hands.Huo Xiangzhen took the water glass, raised his head and drank it down in one gulp.Water dripped down the corner of his mouth, he was about to wipe it off, when he suddenly realized that Gu Chengxi was watching him with a slight smile.

"What are you looking at me for?" He asked openly, "Don't look at me, look at yourself more. Do you understand the reason why I examine myself three times a day?"

Gu Chengxi took the glass in his hand and put it back to its original place: "I'm uneducated, can you tell me, Commander?"

Huo Xiangzhen was not addicted to long speeches, so she told him concisely: "Ask Ma Congrong."

He was sitting and Gu Chengxi was standing.Taking out a snow-white handkerchief from his trouser pocket, Gu Chengxi stretched out his hand and gently wiped his mouth.The action is so fast that it is almost hit and miss.Huo Xiangzhen was suddenly rubbed against his face with a handkerchief, and subconsciously wanted to hide back, but it was too late.

Putting the teacup on the table next to him, he said in a low voice: "Gu Chengxi, Gu Chengxi, I will give you three points of color, and you will open a dyeing workshop!"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Chengxi took a step back embarrassingly.Huo Xiangzhen was too serious, so serious that he was like a monolith, making it impossible for him to use his flirtatious skills.Holding his handkerchief and lowering his head, he remembered a strange sentence - the road is long and long.

This sentence was often said by the instructors in the battalion. He didn't quite understand the meaning, as if it meant that there was still a long way to go.The instructor always said that he had to remember.Now this sentence suddenly appeared in his mind, he thought that he was "the road is long and the road is long", would it be great to be a battalion commander and manage hundreds of people?fart!Still a long way to go!Huo Xiangzhen was sitting in front of him alone, but would he dare to touch him rashly?

He didn't just think about Huo Xiangzhen, he was simply greedy.But with his current status, his greed is in vain.Hungry, he swallowed his saliva, and said in a low voice, "Marshal, I...don't dare anymore."

Huo Xiangzhen didn't look at him, but waved again.Gu Chengxi obediently withdrew, and as he walked out, he murmured, wondering why he fell in love with such a man who looked like an archway.

As soon as he left, Huo Xiangzhen opened his mouth, hanging his tongue out, feeling that Gu Chengxi was still looking a bit cheap.Fortunately, the cheapness is limited, only three points.

After another day like this, Huo Xiangzhen set off with his entourage and returned to Beijing in a mighty way.Among them, Gu Chengxi followed Ma Congrong all the way, until he entered Beijing, he left the team and returned to his small home by himself.

He stayed in Baoding for several months, and there was no news. Now he suddenly entered the door, which surprised and delighted Xiao Lin who stayed at home. He stood in the yard and called to him: "Are you back?"

Gu Chengxi and his subordinate soldiers fought together for a long time, the little white tenderness they had cultivated before was gone, and they lost a lot of weight.Although his small courtyard house was not big, it was cleaned up by Xiao Lin, making him feel comfortable as soon as he entered the door: "Bullshit! Who will come back if I don't come back? Who are you waiting for?"

Xiao Lin pounced on him. He was tall, but Xiao Lin hadn't grown up yet, so he could easily wrap himself around him: "Who am I waiting for? I'll wait for you!" Then he kissed Gu Chengxi on the face: "After walking for so long, did you bring me anything good?"

Gu Chengxi replied solemnly: "I brought you a dick."

Then he hugged Xiaolin and ran into the house to take off his pants.Xiao Lin didn't expect him to be so anxious, and he was not an opponent if he wanted to struggle.The person on the bed first laughed and squeaked, and then squeaked and screamed for more than an hour before the wind stopped and the rain stopped.Xiao Lin rested for a while, then dressed neatly and went out to work again; Gu Chengxi, half lying down half sitting with a good cigarette in his mouth, made Xiao Lin turn around.The former servant of the Gu family has been resigned by him, and now Xiao Lin has become the housekeeper.Because there were no outsiders in the family, he dared to talk nonsense in the room, and he had a great time playing wild.After bragging about himself triumphantly, he began to find fault with Xiaolin: "I said, why don't you grow?"

Xiao Lin stuck his head out at the door and came in: "I'm not growing? I'm half an inch taller than last year!"

Gu Chengxi snorted: "Looking at you, you little chick, you must be a loser in the future!"

Xiao Lin stared at him angrily, but couldn't quarrel with him, so he twisted his thin neck angrily, turned around and walked out.

Gu Chengxi was happy at home, but Huo Xiangzhen was full of fear at home.He moved Bai Mani's ankle, but he couldn't control his strength, and Bai Mani let out a heart-piercing scream.Howling out of this voice almost shattered his heart.Both hands were raised immediately, and he opened his eyes wide to look at Bai Mani.

Bai Mani closed his eyes and raised his head, as if he was about to twitch from the pain.His ankle was too stiff to move, and the only cure was daily movement.When he was not moving, his bones ached; once he moved, his tendons ached even more than his bones.From morning to night, he always seemed to be sitting on a tiger stool.There was cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and he only felt that his ankle was almost torn apart by Huo Xiangzhen.

His left leg was still on Huo Xiangzhen's thigh, but Huo Xiangzhen raised his hands and straightened his waist, and absolutely dared not touch him again.Raising his right leg and kicking it towards Huo Xiangzhen, Bai Mani was so angry that he couldn't bear to live, and shouted at him in a hoarse voice: "I said I don't need you, but you still want to do it! You idiot, don't touch me! I'm about to hurt I’m dead, and you still deliberately tortured me, you go! You go back to Baoding! You’re not allowed to go home in the future! You’re not allowed to go back to Beijing!”

Huo Xiangzhen got up slowly, and gently put his left leg on the bed.Bai Mani hadn't worn a suit for a long time, and he always wore a thin and soft silk trousers and jacket.The trousers are loose, wrinkled and rolled up to the knees. The right calf is still the same, straight and slender, and the skin is tight and bright; the shape of the left calf has not changed, but there are many deep and shallow scars on the skin, which looks almost colorful; The toes of the feet are also slightly curled up, which means that the muscles are shrunk.

Huo Xiangzhen sat on the head of the bed and hugged Bai Mani into her arms.Bai Mani was still yelling furiously that he must be sent back to Baoding.After screaming for a while, he was tired, and the pain in his ankle gradually subsided. He closed his eyes exhaustedly, and he was finally quiet.

Huo Xiangzhen lowered her head and kissed his forehead, then sighed again: "Are you bored? Shall I take you out for a stroll?"

Bai Mani shook his head: "No, I'm not going out to make people laugh."

Huo Xiangzhen asked again: "Then I'll call a roll of film, and let someone come to your house and show you the film?"

Bai Mani continued to shake his head.

Huo Xiangzhen thought for a while, and finally made a decision: "Let's go, I'll take you out for a Western meal."

There is a western food cook in the Huo Mansion, so if you want to eat western food, you don't have to go out.Bai Mani knew that Huo Xiangzhen just wanted to see the sun and people, but according to his original intention, he really didn't want to.He washed and dressed reluctantly, and he refused to walk in front of outsiders, so Huo Xiangzhen had someone push him out in a wheelchair.

Bai Mani has been isolated from the world for a long time, and he thinks he has become a monster and cannot see people.But when he went out today, he found that although he was eye-catching, he was not so bad as to be pointed out and scolded by others.The knee of his left leg was still stiff, and he bent his leg with all his might. He knew that it was impossible to have a standing posture, so he desperately wanted to sit and sit.

After a western meal, he became bold.In the private room, he whispered to Huo Xiangzhen, "Brother, I want to come out to play tomorrow."

Huo Xiangzhen was very preoccupied, but managed to put on a cheerful attitude: "Very good. The weather is not too cold now, so I should go out for a walk more often."

Bai Mani was happy, and turned around to pick up a cane from the back of the wheelchair.Standing up tremblingly, he moved his right leg first with luck in his dantian, and then focused on mobilizing his left leg. Concentrating all the strength of his whole body, he actually moved his left leg forward half a step.

"Brother." He raised his head and showed off to Huo Xiangzhen: "Look, I haven't been exercising for nothing these days, have I?"

Huo Xiangzhen saw that he was still a child, and when he was angry, he was angry and when he was happy, he was happy.Taking advantage of his current happiness, Huo Xiangzhen followed his words and said, "Okay, by this time next year, you can even throw away your cane."

Bai Mani blushed, and smiled at Huo Xiangzhen: "Really? If I can get rid of this crutch, it will be considered a new life for me."

Huo Xiangzhen spoke to him calmly: "Don't relax, persevere."

After returning home at night, Huo Xiangzhen slept on Bai Mani's bed.Huo Xiangzhen intended to take care of Bai Mani at night, but fell asleep after touching the pillow, and slept soundly.Bai Mani wanted to pee in the middle of the night, so he pushed him like a wall, but he couldn't wake up no matter how hard he pushed; the servant who usually kept watch in the outer room was sent away by Huo Xiangzhen.In desperation, Bai Mani hopped off the bed with one leg, and urinated after a lot of hardships.

In the early morning of the next day, Bai Mani raised his head and hair, and complained bitterly: "Brother, you are too annoying, you should go back to Baoding!"

Then he said, "I'm going out to play today, so don't follow me. Your wife is so annoying!"
