Later, a rumor even spread in their circle that Gu Zhan might be a man and a rabbit, which made her uncle very angry.
"I heard from my mom that my uncle had already prepared for my cousin to remain single for the rest of his life, fearing he'd be left alone in his old age, and was saving money for his retirement. Then, suddenly, news broke that my cousin had filed a relationship application!"
Her uncle was almost mad with joy and wanted to prepare the betrothal gifts overnight and go to the girl's house to propose marriage. However, her mother persuaded him to go back, fearing that he would scare the girl and her cousin would continue to be single.
"So, are both of Brother Zhan's brothers not married?"
When the two cousins were mentioned, Shi Shi immediately sat up straight and fell silent, with an expression that was difficult to describe.
"Big brother is fine, but he's my second cousin..."
She couldn't say it. What could she say? As his cousin, she just wished that his love could break through the shackles of the world.
Wei Ci was quite curious about Gu Zhan's two brothers, and became even more curious when she heard her being secretive.
After thinking about it, I decided not to ask any more questions. It would be impolite to ask too many questions. You will know when you need to know.
"Sister Wei Xiaoci! Do you want to come on stage and perform?"
When her name was suddenly called, Wei Ci, who was concentrating on eating, looked up blankly. Who called her?
Unexpectedly, when she looked up, she met countless fiery gazes, which made her feel uncomfortable all over. Her cheeks turned red as if she was being roasted on fire.
Shi Shi covered her lips and smiled secretly, and started clapping and cheering as if she was enjoying the fun.
"Wei Xiaoci! Come on!"
Everyone laughed and there was a constant sound of banging tables and bowls.
"Wei Xiaoci! Come on!"
"Wei Xiaoci! Come on!"
"Don't be a coward, sister! Get on stage and show them what we can do!"
Some military wives joined in the fun. They had heard their husbands talk a lot about Captain Wei's sister.
Some people even tried her cooking and were extremely curious about her.
I want to know what this beautiful, intelligent, and dexterous girl looks like.
As a result, when they met, they were stunned. My goodness, this was not an ordinary person, but a fairy. His skin was so white that they didn't dare to approach him and talk to him.
There's nothing else to it, it's because the contrast is too strong and they can't afford to be hurt.
Wei Ci has long been accustomed to all kinds of gazes falling on her.
From the moment she joined the army, she was always being watched by different people.
The entire cafeteria began to bustle with activity. The noise and booing were so loud that Gu Zhan and the others, who were far away at the guard post, could vaguely hear a word or two.
"These bastards are going to the sky!"
Wei Qingshan cursed with a smile.
"Let them make a fuss, it'll just be a relaxing day."
Not only do they have to carry out various tasks on weekdays, but they also have to patrol the border continuously. Their daily training tasks are also very heavy, and they rarely have such moments to relax and play.
"Just spoil them. Don't you know how to feel sorry for your partner?"
Wei Qingshan snorted coldly, and as the elder brother-in-law, his sister-con nerves began to jump, and he was dissatisfied with his boss and brother.
Gu Zhan smiled without saying anything. He didn't feel distressed at all, but he was worried that she would be shy with so many people teasing her.
Wei Ci, who was worried that her partner might be shy, rolled up her sleeves, took something that appeared in her hand out of nowhere, and walked onto the stage confidently.
The crowd, who had been making a lot of noise just now, suddenly became quiet when they saw her come on stage, and everyone's eyes turned to the girl.
"I finally understand what the ancient saying, 'My humble home is now a place of glory,' means."
Some people sighed and shook their heads, saying that Captain Gu was so lucky to have found such a beautiful wife.
Wei Ci is good-looking and has a good temperament. When she stands there, the originally dim environment suddenly becomes bright, which makes people's eyes bright and stunning.
Wei Ci was not at all shy. She smiled and waved the thing in her hand.
"I'm not a good singer, I'm easily out of tune, and I can't dance either, so why not play a tune for everyone?"
Looking at the palm-sized thing, everyone looked confused. What the hell is this?
A vase? It seems a little small.
A wine jug? It's full of holes, so it doesn't look like one.
Can this thing make a sound?
"Sister Wei, what the hell is this?"
The familiar young soldier from the logistics department pointed at what was in Wei Ci's hand, stretched his head to take a closer look, and was extremely curious.
Wei Ci shook the thing in his hand to explain it to everyone.
"This is a musical instrument called the Xun. It has a deep tone and a lingering charm."
Jade Xun
As he spoke, he brought the jade xun to his lips and began to play.
She didn't know the tunes here and could only play a tune she had played before.
The sound of the xiao is melodious and ethereal, and the music carries a sense of freedom as if walking among the vast sea of clouds.
Everyone fell silent, staring at the girl on the stage who was playing seriously with her eyes closed, and they were unconsciously mesmerized.
The sound of the xiao penetrated the heavy snow and hit everyone's ears, making people unconsciously tilt their heads and listen attentively, wanting to hear more clearly.
"The wind and snow seem to have died down a bit."
Gu Zhan looked up at the heavy snow falling under the light and murmured softly.
Ding-a-ling!
The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted everyone's thoughts. The young soldier in the guard room picked up the phone, listened to two sentences, then put down the receiver and shouted outside.
"Captain Gu! Your phone is calling!"
Gu Zhan's heart skipped a beat, and he inexplicably had a bad premonition.
"You stay here first, I'll take a call."
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the guard room in two steps, picking up the microphone with a serious expression.
"Hello, I'm Gu Zhan. What can I do for you?"
"Zhanzhan, there's news. News about your boyfriend's second brother."
Gu Zhan looked up at Wei Qingshan who was still working diligently, and deliberately lowered his voice.
"how?"
"They are already on the returning ship. None of those old men made it back. Two of the three people Wei Qingfeng brought with him were seriously injured and are currently in a coma and shock."
Gu Zhan's heart was in his throat, and when he spoke again, his voice was full of nervousness.
"Where's Wei Qingfeng?"
It seemed like a different person was speaking on the other end of the phone, and even his rough voice couldn't cover up the questions that were about to overflow.
"It's strange. Wei Qingshan was the one who was most seriously injured, but he was able to survive time and again while escaping. He doesn't have any sequelae and is still alive and kicking."
Their people saw him being chased and covered in blood, and just when they wanted to rescue him, he ran away and disappeared. When he reappeared, there was no sign of any injuries on him, and he continued to mess with those Japanese devils.
This went on over and over again, and those who were ordered to protect them watched in amazement as he was injured, on the verge of death, then disappeared, and reappeared full of energy, without giving them any chance to save him.
If Wei Qingfeng and his men had not done something big later, blowing out those crazy people and chasing after Wei Qingfeng and his men, those who were secretly protecting them would not have had the chance to rescue them in the chaos.
