Chapter 479 Sunrise
Meng Hu's eyes widened, his tone horrified: "This is impossible! Platoon Leader, are you mistaken? How could Wang Xin defect?!"
Since leaving the front line of direct combat and arriving at Lingchuanyan, the 168th platoon has often formed teams of two to go hunting or ambush soldiers from Country M. The person in his team is Wang Xin, and the two have a very good relationship.
Although Wang Xin is not a talkative person, he is never stingy with his care and thoughts.
He knew that Wang Xin was physically weak, but he could speak English and was smarter than others. He had always been a comrade and partner that he looked up to and trusted. How could he betray Country Z and the 168th Platoon? Become a deserter?
Yan Shaoyu raised his eyes, the corners of his narrow eyes turned up, his eyes were full of indifference: "Let me ask you, have you and Wang Xin been together since you were captured by the soldiers of Country M? Has he talked to anyone from Country M?"
Meng Hu was stunned, and recalled the previous scene carefully. Suddenly, his body shook.
In his opinion, the two were arrested together, tortured and suffered together, and they were life-long friends. He never doubted anything. But now that he thought about it, Wang Xin seemed to have said a lot to those foreign devils from Country M!
Moreover, after he said those words, he suddenly fainted, and the soldiers from Country M stopped beating and abusing him.
At that time, he was still worried about Wang Xin's health and did not doubt at all whether he had defected to the enemy or said something he should not have said.
"The platoon leader is asking you a question! Meng Hu, tell me the truth, did Wang Xin talk to the people from Country M in English?" Someone in the crowd was furious, and seeing Meng Hu not speaking, he urged him angrily.
On the battlefield, the most hated person is the deserter who betrays his comrades. If Wang Xin really told the people from Country M the address of the cave where they were temporarily staying, then he would be a complete shameless person and a traitor!
Meng Hu had a look of pain on his face, and he trembled with his lips for a long time, but he still couldn't say a word. He just closed his eyes and nodded.
Seeing him nod, the crowd was in an uproar, and their anger almost burst out.
Gu Yuehuai pursed her lips and stirred the rice porridge with chopsticks, feeling the anger, grief, and sobs of the soldiers around her. All these complex emotions intertwined together made her feel a little uncomfortable. Wang Xin had hurt the entire 168th platoon by himself.
After a few minutes of silence, Gu Yuehuai broke the silence by saying, "Let's eat first."
Yan Shaoyu also spoke at the right time: "The matter has been settled. The exact situation can only be determined when we meet Wang Xin. Now we should eat and drink enough to conserve our energy to deal with the dangers that may arise at any time."
All the soldiers responded, and the two of them shared a box of rice porridge and a can of beef.
Soon the only sound in the cave was the rustling of food. They had not had a bite of hot food for a long time, and now the warm and fragrant rice porridge entered their stomachs, warming them up from head to toe, and the dampness in their bodies seemed to have dissipated a lot.
Gu Yuehuai also gave Yan Shaoyu a lunch box and said softly, "Let's drink together."
Yan Shaoyu raised the corners of his lips, carried the lunch box and walked out of the cave, sitting down at the door. Not long after, Gu Yuehuai came over with a can of food. She handed the can to Yan Shaoyu: "The food of the people in Country M is quite good, and the canned food smells very good."
Although this thing may not be very healthy, compared to the raw meat that Yan Shaoyu and the others eat, it is already a delicacy.
Yan Shaoyu glanced at her sideways, but didn't try to be brave. He took the can and started eating. His stomach cramped slightly, and the pain made his eyelashes tremble slightly. Gu Yuehuai frowned slightly: "Drink rice porridge, it warms your stomach."
Yan Shaoyu pursed his thin lips and swallowed a few mouthfuls of hot rice porridge from the aluminum lunch box, which immediately relieved his stomach pain.
He lowered his eyes to look at the water used to cook the rice porridge, knowing in his heart that this was the "life-saving magic potion" she had brought from thousands of miles away from her hometown. She was never stingy in being nice to him, and always wanted to give him the best at all times.
Thinking back to when he was fighting alone against the wolves in the valley behind the Dalaozi Production Brigade, it was she who ran out of the wooden house without hesitation, stood back to back with him, and blocked the danger from behind for him.
Yan Shaoyu felt jealous again. He laughed at himself and felt that he had become a little pretentious after going through all these things.
He has never been a crybaby. When he was a child, he felt that all the children around him were fools and incompatible with him, so he easily became the leader of the children. He was unruly, violent and disdainful of everyone.
He was very arrogant at that time, but the hardships of life followed him like a shadow, which always made him understand the difficulties of being a human being.
But even when he hid his temperament and became taciturn in an attempt to reduce his own presence and that of his younger siblings, he never cried, because he felt that crying would not solve any problems and would make people think he was a coward.
But now, facing Gu Yuehuai, he could never hide the surging jealousy in his heart.
In this world, there is only one Gu Yuehuai who is willing to travel thousands of miles to be by his side, to face the hail of bullets with him, and even the hopeless journey home. She is also the only one who will do her best to help him and pull him out of the abyss of despair.
Gu Yuehuai noticed Yan Shaoyu's emotional fluctuations and glanced sideways: "What's wrong?"
Yan Shaoyu suddenly chuckled and reached out to push the hair on her cheek behind her ear: "It's okay."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the sea of clouds at the edge of the cliff. It was still dozens of meters away from the sea below the cliff. The sound of waves hitting the rocks was very crisp, and occasionally the cries of seagulls could be heard.
Gu Yuehuai followed his gaze and saw a golden sun suddenly emitting thousands of rays of light in the clouds, dyeing the shadowy sea in the distance with a layer of rouge red, which was so beautiful that it seemed like a fantasy.
sunrise.
Gu Yuehuai was a little stunned. She had seen the sunrise before, but she had never seen such a beautiful and stunning sunrise.
The warriors in the cave also stuck their heads out and looked at the magnificent sunrise. Everyone had a solemn and hopeful look on their faces. Their faces were reflected red by the sunlight, which gave rise to a very touching feeling.
Meng Hu was still immersed in the pain of Wang Xin's betrayal until someone shook his arm and he came to his senses.
He looked at the misty sunrise that was not like any earthly scenery, and suddenly thought of the "Yellow Fairy" in the forest before. To him, that was far more shocking than a sunrise. After all, the lethality of that kind of thing was very terrifying.
Meng Hu's expression suddenly became serious. He had been busy with so many things before, one after another, that he forgot to report this important matter to the platoon leader. If "Huang Xiangu" really existed, could the other M country soldiers in Lingchuanyan escape?
Thinking of this, Meng Hu pushed through the crowd and came behind Yan Shaoyu: "Platoon leader, I have something important to report."
Yan Shaoyu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked back at him: "Speak."
Meng Hu hurriedly told Yan Shaoyu about the sudden disappearance of two squads of soldiers from Country M. Afraid that Yan Shaoyu would not believe it, he also brought Gu Yuehuai with him: "If the platoon leader does not believe it, you can ask Military Doctor Gu. She was there at the time!"
He spoke superstitious words with certainty. Yan Shaoyu frowned and thought deeply, saying nothing for a long time.
