A generation of soldiers begins with Feng Yuxiu traveling through time and space with Xu Sanduo

Chapter 429 Don't be impulsive!

Under the bright rising sun, a SUV slowly pulled up in the bustling city center and eventually turned onto the left-hand street, entering the villa area.

Wang Yadong parked the car, got out, opened the door, and took out the fruit and flowers from the passenger seat. Tomorrow is the baby's one-month celebration, and he had specially booked a hotel and been busy all day.

There was no smoke of gunpowder, no gunfire, and no frequent escapes.

Although he betrayed Scorpion, it was all worth it for happiness.

"Click."

The villa door opened, and Wang Yadong put down the flowers and fruit, bent down to change his shoes, and casually said, "Xiaoxiao, I'm planning to hire a postpartum nanny tomorrow. I've also already notified your parents; I don't have any relatives or friends here. Let's hold the banquet at your place."

"Oh, by the way, I've already booked the restaurant today. It starts at noon tomorrow."

"Xiaoxiao? Are you asleep?"

Wang Yadong paused after changing into his slippers. His gaze fell on the living room, where overturned plant pots and signs of disturbance were visible everywhere.

Wang Yadong took off his slippers, bent down, and pulled out a pistol from a hidden compartment under the shoe cabinet.

After thinking it over carefully, he put the pistol back inside and closed it.

He has now fully gained the understanding of the Chinese government and has a happy family and lovely children.

If he is found to be in possession of firearms again, all of this hard-won achievement will be ruined.

Wang Yadong tiptoed around the living room and found no signs of a major fight, except for the ransacked state of the room.

Driven by instinct, he grabbed a kitchen knife, went upstairs to the bedroom.

"You absolutely can't be hurt! You absolutely can't be hurt! Please!"

Wang Yadong felt his heart pounding, and as he got closer to the bedroom, his limbs went weak and trembled uncontrollably.

"Xiaoxiao?"

The door was half-open. Wang Yadong had just approached when his expression suddenly changed drastically. A strong, lingering smell of blood made him panic and rush inside.

thump!

The slippery ground caused Wang Yadong to slam heavily against the wall. Before he could even feel the wetness, he struggled to raise his arms to support himself.

Therefore, Wang Yadong could clearly see everything on the bed.

Just three seconds later, a heart-wrenching scream exploded out.

"what!!!!!!"

"Shh, don't shout..."

A calm voice came from behind the bed, and a man about 1.7 meters tall stood up, holding a dagger in his hand and smiling at him.

"Lynx, do you know what the consequences are for betraying the company?"

"It doesn't matter if we betray the company, it doesn't matter if Polar Bear Company is destroyed, it doesn't matter if everyone dies, it's a small matter for the head office."

"The unfortunate thing is that Grandpa's daughter was playing over there and got caught up in it. That's not right, Lynx. Look at your wife and children. I've been so good to them. I've made them into traditional Peking duck. Pretty good, right? It's all set up perfectly."

Wang Yadong gritted his teeth, a chilling tremor emanating from his throat, and the kitchen knife in his right hand trembled uncontrollably.

-

Wen Guoqiang stood outside the villa, his face unusually silent.

Armed police and forensic doctors were coming and going around the area.

Director Gong sighed, "President Wen, this was an accident, wasn't it?"

Wen Guoqiang's face was grim. "An accident? Of all the big cities, why choose this place?"

How is Wang Yadong?

Director Gong shook his head, "It's a huge blow, he won't say anything."

"Let him have some peace and quiet. How is that thug?"

"He died on the spot, his carotid artery severed with a single blow. I just don't know if Wang Yadong got any information out of him, or if he confirmed that he was Chinese. This force is quite powerful."

"Alright, that's fine for now. We'll ask Wang Yadong for details once he's recovered. This is revenge."

"clear."

Feng Yuxiu didn't take the train this time; the last time he sent Xue Lin's ashes home, something like that happened on the bus.

Having learned from past experience, this time I took a plane directly to the destination.

On the plane, Ma Xiaoshuai and Bai Tiejun remained silent, unwilling to speak. Feng Yuxiu sat by the window, gazing at the hazy fields and hills below.

Two hours later, the plane landed at an airport in Tangshan.

The captain of the local armed forces department and county leaders were waiting.

It is worthy of respect that such a martyr emerged in peacetime.

After a brief exchange, the car picked up Feng Yuxiu and the other two and headed towards Bai Tiejun's hometown.

Finally, they stopped at the foot of a large mountain.

Bai Tiejun once said that it takes twelve hours to walk from his home to the county town at the foot of the mountain.

“Comrade PLA soldier, this comrade’s home is quite far away. The road is very inconvenient, and it will take about ten hours to walk there. Should we have a meal in the nearby town before we set off? We might have to spend the night there.”

An official in a white shirt walked up and asked.

Gan Xiaoning and Ma Xiaoshuai looked at Feng Yuxiu.

Feng Yuxiu's gaze was icy. "My comrade is lying in my arms. He will never eat again. And now you're telling me you're planning to eat?"

"Xiao Wang, is this the right time to say such things? We should uphold the spirit of hard work and set off with just a few steamed buns each!"

"Comrade, please don't be so blunt. We were just asking out of kindness."

Looking at the grinning face of the cadre in front of him, Feng Yuxiu narrowed his eyes.

"Class monitor, forget it, let's go." Gan Xiaoning quickly stepped between the two.

-

Feng Yuxiu felt that the roads in Xia Rongshu Village were the most difficult he had ever seen.

The road leading to Bai Tiejun's home is a wide dirt road, with mountains all around and cliffs dozens of meters high at the corners of the road.

After walking for three or four hours, the wide road abruptly ended, turning from a wide road that could be passed by cars into a narrow path where only two people could walk side by side.

"Squad leader, be careful, there are cliffs below." Gan Xiaoning turned pale after just one glance, and loose soil was falling down on both sides of the road.

Feng Yuxiu turned to the guide behind him and asked, "Are we going to go straight over these mountains?"

The guide, a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a pipe dangling from his mouth, seemed quite at ease. He nodded and said, "That's right. Just keep following the road. There's no one else behind, only that village. After you cross that distant mountain, and then cross eight more mountains like that, you'll see that village. There are only thirteen people there."

Feng Yuxiu took Bai Tiejun's box from Gan Xiaoning, took a deep breath, and said, "Follow me."

After saying that, Feng Yuxiu quickly darted out. If they continued on this way, they would arrive tomorrow, and tonight they would have to spend the night deep in the mountains and forests.

"Hurry up and keep up. The battalion commander told us on the way here to make sure we keep a close eye on the squad leader."

Gan Xiaoning hurriedly chased after him. When Bai Tiejun was alive, he often polished his shoes. From Bai Tiejun, Gan Xiaoning learned that his family did not accept guests in the village.

I don't know what the situation is now, if the situation they predicted really happened.

Given Feng Yuxiu's temperament, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Once the cultivator in the sealed realm does such a thing, everything will be over.

The guide was taken aback. "These kids are quite something."

After saying that, the middle-aged man tapped his pipe on the sole of his shoe and chased after him.

Seeing this, the county officials and armed forces personnel behind them gritted their teeth and chased after them.

They had just turned the corner when Feng Yuxiu and the others disappeared at the end of the mountains.

"Stop resting, let's chase after them!"

"Boss, they're all soldiers."

"Stop talking nonsense! If this gets delayed, you might as well go home and take care of your kids. Hurry up and finish this!"

-

After a seven-hour drive, Feng Yuxiu and his team finally arrived at the hillside at seven o'clock in the morning.

Nestled in a narrow basin between two towering mountains lies an unassuming little village.

The village is small, with a dozen or so houses scattered with faint lights.

“Young men, you run really fast. If I didn’t go in and out of the mountains every now and then, I really might not be able to keep up with you.”

The middle-aged man, panting heavily, leaned against the mountain wall and gave a thumbs-up.

Feng Yuxiu took a deep breath. "Let's go down."

-

"Village chief, we've been waiting since morning, when are you coming?"

Seven or eight villagers stood on the hillside smoking, while behind them, peasant women sat under a tree sewing shoe soles for each other.

"Stop arguing. The county called and told us to wait here, so there must be a reason."

The village chief's displeasure made the villagers behind him shrink back. They were isolated from the world and their minds were still stuck in the past, when they had to pay grain taxes.

There's no electricity here, only spring water. Aside from going out to buy some New Year's goods, we never go out.

In their eyes, the village chief was just like the production team leader. In the last century, when there were food coupons, a single sentence from the production team leader could determine the survival of a family.

Therefore, the village chief's word carries more weight here than that of the county magistrate.

Of course, they would never get to see the county magistrate.

Two villagers smoking cigarettes turned around and saw a hunched man dressed in migrant worker clothes from the last century and a woman wearing a cotton-padded dress with half of her clothes showing at the back of the crowd.

It was obvious that their status was the lowest in the village.

"We've been treating Bai Lengzi and his wife much better these past few years. The county even had Bai Lengzi's family waiting for them. What's going on? Did his son get promoted?"

"Where did you hear all this from?"

"Otherwise, what are those two waiting for? Isn't it just because his son is in the army?"

"Shut up!" the village chief shouted, turning around. "Bai Jun, Zhang Zhaodi, you two come up here and stand here. The higher-ups told you two to wait. We're just for show. Come on up here."

Bai Tiejun's father hurriedly ran up and chuckled, "Whatever the village chief says goes. Zhaodi, come and stand here quickly."

The woman walked up with her head down. She could feel the other women standing by the roadside secretly laughing at her. Her family had always been looked down upon.

"They're here! They're here! It looks like someone!" the village chief suddenly shouted. "Everyone stand at attention! The leader is here!"

As Feng Yuxiu approached the village, he could clearly see the villagers when he was a hundred meters away.

"Squad leader, why don't we wait until the other officers arrive?" Gan Xiaoning said timidly.

Ma Xiaoshuai also stopped, "Squad leader, how are we going to tell Lao Bai's parents?"

Feng Yuxiu said expressionlessly, "I'll go tell them."

"Squad leader, squad leader!" Gan Xiaoning hurriedly grabbed Feng Yuxiu, glanced at the villagers in the distance, and quickly said, "It's easy to say, you can just open your mouth and say it. But... you've seen how poor this place is. Putting everything else aside, how long will it take for someone like Bai Tiejun to enlist from this village? This is a blow..."

"Sometimes the dead contribute more than the living, and Bai Tiejun's abilities are no longer capable of changing this place."

Feng Yuxiu held Bai Tiejun's box and looked at the bright national flag covering it.

"They're here, they're here, stand at attention!" the village chief hurriedly called out.

Feng Yuxiu stopped one meter away from the villagers, with Gan Xiaoning and Ma Xiaoshuai standing nervously behind him.

"Are those Bai Tiejun's parents?"

The village chief was taken aback; as expected, they were looking for Bai Jun.

"Bai Jun, what are you standing there for? Didn't you hear what the People's Liberation Army comrade said?" The village chief turned around and shouted.

Bai Jun immediately stepped forward and stood cautiously behind the village chief with his head down.

Feng Yuxiu narrowed his eyes. It seemed that Bai Tiejun was right. Before he joined the army, his family was bullied by the village.

"Uncle, this is how it is. You need to be mentally prepared."

Feng Yuxiu slowly opened Bai Tiejun's box, saying, "Comrade Bai Tiejun gloriously sacrificed his life during a mission to combat pirates."

Upon hearing this, Gan Xiaoning and Ma Xiaoshuai behind him dared not look Bai Tiejun's father in the eye.

But a few seconds later, instead of the expected crying and wailing, there was a calm.

Bai Jun paused, then asked cautiously and tentatively, "What does 'glorious sacrifice' mean?"

The village chief was also stunned, but he quickly recovered and turned around to shout, "It was your son who died."

Bai Jun understood immediately and stood frozen in place.

"A toddler!!!" Zhang Zhaodi cried and rushed forward, her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground, howling.

“Auntie, please get up. Comrade Bai Tiejun fought bravely and sacrificed himself without hesitation. He is our role model and example. Please don’t be sad.”

But the elderly couple, who had never been to school, couldn't understand any of this. All they knew was that their son was dead, would never write again, and would never come back.

Moreover, behind this crying and shouting was their deep fear, because Bai Tiejun's mother had a mild intellectual disability, and his legs were also not very strong.

They were looked down upon in the village since childhood, and it was only with great difficulty that Bai Tiejun proved himself and helped them escape the humiliation of having to depend on others.

Now everything is over. In rural areas, people without sons are bullied every now and then; this is a characteristic of this era.

The idea of ​​raising children to provide for old age stems from the fear of not having male heirs to support you in your old age.

Feng Yuxiu looked up and around, and noticed that the villagers' eyes, which had been looking down at Bai Tiejun's parents, had changed.

"It seems"

Before long, leaders from the armed forces department and the county government arrived. After a lengthy speech, a plaque was brought out.

It reads: First-Class Merit.

"This is a reward of five thousand yuan from the county government."

The villagers were stunned as they stared at the stack of money wrapped in a manila envelope.

"Uncle and Aunt, this is the allowance our unit gave to Comrade Bai Tiejun, a total of 10,000 yuan."

The sudden influx of immense wealth stunned Bai Jun and Zhang Zhaodi, and even Feng Yuxiu's ears twitched as he heard the villagers' suppressed, rapid breathing.

"They can't hold out!"

This was the first thought that popped into Feng Yuxiu's head.

In those days, a household with 10,000 yuan was considered a nouveau riche in the county, let alone in this isolated little mountain village.

Life here is a completely different world from the outside world. Their way of thinking and doing things is still stuck in the early days of the one-child policy.

Therefore, the village chief is the most authoritative person in the village.

After giving his instructions, he hung the plaque on the non-existent door of Bai Tiejun's house.

Looking at this incredibly rudimentary place, the leader of the county's armed forces department frowned. "This place has more than twenty or thirty people. Shouldn't we apply for a plan to relocate the whole group? We can't just let the remains of heroes be buried here, can we? Heroes should be publicized to the masses. What kind of place would it be if they were hidden here?"

The county leader nodded. "We also intend to implement this, but it's just been too difficult."

"Well, leaders, our breakfast is almost ready. Why don't you stay and have some?" the village chief asked cautiously, wiping his hands.

"No, we have to go back right away, otherwise we won't be able to get down the mountain before dark."

After a brief explanation, the leaders went down the mountain.

At the entrance to the village, Feng Yuxiu stood motionless.

The captain of the armed forces department was taken aback when he saw this. "Old soldier, is there something else?"

Feng Yuxiu smiled and said, "I have something to do. You guys go ahead. I forgot to give the things to my comrades' families."

The captain nodded. "Hurry up, or we won't be able to get down before it gets dark."

Gan Xiaoning and Ma Xiaoshuai exchanged a glance, both noticing the unease on each other's faces.

Feng Yuxiu turned around and looked at Bai Tiejun's parents, who were being surrounded by villagers as they walked in.

"I'm giving you a chance; whether you can seize it is up to you."
