He Daqing, do you know how I've lived these past years?

Watching the surrounding villagers carry out injured or still-unresponsive fellow villagers from the ruins.

In the distance, amidst the densely packed sheds, many soldiers in military uniforms could be seen constantly moving back and forth.

Just then, the enemy planes that had already flown away flew back again and continued to drop bombs over Jizhou City.

"Get out of the way!"

"Boom boom boom"

"Boom boom boom"

After shouting, Leyou quickly ran to the open space next to him and fell to the ground.

When they looked up and around, they realized that most of the people they had been rescuing were now lying on the ground, groaning in pain.

Some severed limbs were scattered on the ground.

……

"Master"

"Jingxian"

"Magnolia and Oriole"

"Where are you?"

Leyou, sweating profusely and with his mind blank, shouted loudly.

"Brother, we're here!"

Hearing the noise, Leyou looked around and found everyone under the table at the entrance of the clinic.

It turned out that Jingxian had brought the child to be looked after by her master, while Mulan and Huangying went to get bandages.

Seeing that everyone was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to run over, he noticed that the enemy planes in the sky were still there.

A while later, the sound of bombs exploding could be heard continuously from the distant shantytown.

Leyou watched all this numbly, his mind constantly guessing that the Japanese would definitely launch an attack soon.

He was about to turn around and tell everyone to escape as soon as possible, but upon hearing Nianmin's cries and the sight of civilians being bombed by the Japanese,

Leyou was also struggling with the decision.

……

"Help! Someone come quick!"

"Be careful, or the Japanese will come again."

"Quickly, save people! Put out the fire!"

……

The shouts from the side interrupted Leyou's thoughts, and a soldier ran toward him from a distance.

"Sir, the commander has ordered you to leave immediately. The city is no longer safe, and our city defenses have begun rescuing the civilians."

Leyou looked at the panting soldiers in front of him, then at the civilians lying on the ground around him, and laughed:

"Wait for me a moment, then take me to the commander."

After saying that, he went to the infirmary to explain the situation to his master, and then walked with the soldiers toward Commander Cheng.

"What? We have to move again? Where are we going?"

"What can we do when the enemy planes start bombing us again, just like before?"

“Some people had already been relocated, but now it’s not safe, so we’re moving with them.”

"I disagree. As long as the city stands, we stand; if the city falls, we fall."

"If you want to die, we won't stop you, but don't drag us down with you."

……

Before even reaching the temporary government office, Leyou heard a heated argument inside.

The soldier stood to the side, not daring to knock on the door, and looked at Leyou with an embarrassed expression.

Leyou nodded to him, offered him a cigarette, and also gave one to each of the two soldiers guarding the door, before pushing open the door and going inside.

As he closed the door, Leyou took out a submachine gun from his spatial storage and hid it behind his back as he turned around.

"Who do you think you are? Who let you in?"

"Commander Cheng, how can you act like a boss? You have no manners at all!"

"Get out"

……

Le You smiled as he looked at the high-ranking government official in front of him, then turned to the silent Commander Cheng and asked in a low voice:

"I overheard you talking about retreating outside the door. What about the people?"

Leyou quickly dodged the cigarette butts and plates thrown at him from the other side, still quietly watching the crowd.

"Commander Cheng, is this your intention?"

"Who cares about those ants!"

"Commander Cheng, are you planning a rebellion?"

"You bastard, guards! Guards!"

When Leyou heard them call the common people ants, he was instantly filled with rage, his eyes turning red.

He pulled out a submachine gun from behind and opened fire on those disdainful high-ranking officials.

"what"

"what"

"what"

Several fat, large-eared corpses suddenly appeared on the ground, and a lot of blood was splattered on the table.

The other high-ranking officials were so frightened that they dared not move from their chairs.

Hearing the gunshots, the two soldiers standing outside the door quickly kicked the door open and rushed in.

"go out"

All that could be heard was Commander Cheng, who was sitting to one side, shouting in a low voice.

Upon hearing the order, the soldier quickly turned around and closed the door.

"clap clap"

At this moment, the middle-aged man in his fifties, who was sitting in the first seat, clapped his hands and said:

"What a chivalrous sir! You must have come for the people of the city. May I ask your status?"

Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, Commander Cheng pulled out a pistol, placed it on the table, and said:

"Leyou means what I mean."

The man then stood up and said:

"Whether it's a rebellion or a military coup, aren't you afraid I'll call the Chairman and start firing here? You have some nerve!"

Regardless of who was in front of him, Leyou threatened:

"No matter what you say, if you don't answer well, this day next year will be your death anniversary."

"At worst, I'll be a hero again in 18 years. You're in such a high position; with you by my side, I won't be lonely."

After saying that, he pointed the gun at the middle-aged man.

Commander Cheng quickly stepped forward, lowered the muzzle of his gun, and said:

"Speak up with any suggestions you have. You'll be leading troops in the future, so try not to get so hot-tempered."

Seeing the commander blinking repeatedly, Le You put away his submachine gun and said to the middle-aged man:

"I traveled north from Guangdong, passing through Qiancheng, which was then under enemy occupation."

Prior to this, the county and town governments and the city defense forces had already evacuated a large number of people.

Instead of you all making a fuss here and ignoring everything, don't you all know what kind of people the enemy is?

"Burn everything, kill everyone, loot everything—were none of you here before, even three generations ago, ordinary people?"

Without the people, where would the food, supplies, and manpower come from?

Your food, drink, and daily necessities are all provided by the people!

Honestly, you don't deserve to be in the provincial or township government.

"Good, well said!"

"Ahhh"

The middle-aged man kept cheering, then pulled a pistol from his robe and fired three shots at the people next to him.

After the three men, shot and lying motionless on the table, put away their guns, sat back in the head seat, and asked Leyou to sit down.

"Young people are indeed full of youthful vigor and hot-bloodedness, but that's exactly what the country needs."

Sometimes, however, social niceties, fame, power, and money can cause people to lose their conscience.

Sigh, I'm getting old, really getting old...

"Alright, now that we're all on the same side, just say what you want to say."

"Brother Yang is joking. It's just that it's about Boss Hui..."

Commander Cheng, standing to the side, asked awkwardly.

"He's not Chen, Fang, or anyone else, don't worry."

As the remaining people continued to discuss, they decided to head to Yangdu, allowing the people to evacuate with them. Some schools and factories were also relocated, while those who did not wish to leave were asked to leave behind sufficient food.

Meanwhile, the county troops also began to attack the surrounding enemies in order to minimize losses.

After the meeting, General Yang patted Leyou on the shoulder and said:

"The younger generation is formidable, but sometimes interpersonal relationships are very important, and decisiveness is also essential."

After most of the people had dispersed, Commander Cheng stepped forward and said:

"Luckily it wasn't General Manager Hui today, or you'd be in big trouble. Are you satisfied now? You should leave now and get back to school early."

"Chief of Growth, we shouldn't know each other, why are you taking such good care of me?"

"Well, never mind, I'll tell you about it too."

Back then, your master and your senior brothers went down the mountain to fight against the Japanese, and their fame spread far and wide.

He has assassinated high-ranking enemy officials and traitors multiple times.

Especially in Jiangzhou, which is why your master later took the initiative to go to Huangxietan and, together with the Thirteen Protectors there, escorted a great gentleman to Hongxianglu Port to reveal the true face of a traitor.”

"And many of us have been healed by your master and senior uncles."

Seeing Commander Cheng leave without looking back, Leyou also headed towards the infirmary.

……

As we walked along, we noticed that many sheds had been erected on what used to be an open space.

The people sat inside drinking porridge, while soldiers continuously carried the wounded into the large houses nearby.

Nurses and doctors were constantly walking back and forth inside the house.

“Wow wow wow”

“Wow wow wow”

Suddenly, I heard the urgent cry of a baby.

"Hmm, that voice sounds so familiar."

Leyou, who was looking around, suddenly slapped his head and cursed under his breath:

"You just had a son today and you've already forgotten? Does becoming a father suddenly make you less attentive?"

As I quickly approached the medical facility, I saw Jingxian carrying her child and pacing back and forth.

Mulan, having somehow acquired a rattle drum, kept entertaining the child.

Meanwhile, the oriole kept blowing on the rice porridge.

"Master, let's leave soon. Things are almost settled here. They're retreating to Yangdu, and the people will probably go with them."

"Okay, let the civilians go together; at least there won't be too many casualties."

By the way, the child's aunt has already been buried. If it's convenient later, you can bring her back to visit.

After listening, Leyou nodded and kept looking at the child.

My feelings were a complex mix of responsibility and the joy of becoming a father for the first time, a mixture of both confusion and helplessness.

However, since he is the descendant of a loyal and valiant man, he must be properly nurtured.

After the children finished eating, they fell fast asleep again. Leyou and the others packed their luggage, started their motorcycles, and headed towards the city gate.

Looking at the densely packed crowds of people at the city gate, Leyou and the others were immediately puzzled. Were they welcoming some important figure today?

"Thank you, sir, for arranging a way for us to live,"

When the two rows of people saw Leyou and his group riding over, they quickly surrounded them and shouted.

Leyou nodded awkwardly to the women and his master, then waved and shouted:

"Go back now. Pack your luggage and food. Be careful on the road. We're heading to Chengdu too."

"Have a safe and peaceful journey, sir."

After finally riding out of the city gate, he saw Commander Cheng on the city wall and was speechless for a moment. He waved to him, then waved to the people who came out to see him off, and then accelerated and sped off to the northwest.
