Chapter 671 Yu Xiaowu, You're Going Too Far

Upon hearing this, Yu Wanqing, Huo Lanci and others quickly ran towards the seaside.

Bian Hanhai was looking through a telescope and saw that the boss and his wife had arrived. He quickly said, "Boss, I saw the red flag."

That is the symbol of their country.

Yu Wanqing and Huo Lanci each took a telescope and looked towards the sea. Sure enough, they saw a ship coming in the distance. The red flag on the ship was flying in the wind. Under the sunlight, the stars on the flag seemed to be really glowing.

"They are our people." Yu Wanqing looked at Huo Lanci: "There is only one ship, it should not be a support force, it may be the team that came first."

Huo Lanci nodded: "Keep an eye on the news here, and send someone to report when they get close."

Captain Qiu looked at the people around him and said, "Go prepare some food. It should be hot and easy to swallow. It's so cold and we've been sailing on the sea for so long. I'm sure everyone must be tired."

Soon, everyone started to get busy.

When Yu Wanqing and Huo Lanci returned side by side, the couple smiled at each other. Seeing the support team was like seeing more Chinese troops coming.

They also seemed to have seen the way home.

After Zhou Yuan's boat docked, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw everyone standing on the shore.

At a glance, he saw Huo Lanci, Yu Wanqing, and Lao Qiu in the crowd.

Lao Qiu is his old comrade-in-arms.

After he got off the boat, the two sides exchanged pleasantries, and then he said, "Thank you for your hard work during this period."

Huo Lanci shook his head: "It's not hard, this is what we should do."

Old Qiu stepped forward with a smile: "Let's go, let's go up first, we'll talk about it when we get down."

The rest of the people helped unload the goods, and several leaders went to the temporary tent set up for the meeting.

After sitting down, Zhou Yuan's first question was: "Have you found the mine? Have any brothers sacrificed themselves?"

Huo Lanci and Captain Qiu knew that the last sentence was what he wanted to know the most, but the mission was here, and they could not forget why they had traveled across the ocean to find this island.

Mineral resources are more important than anything else.

Huo Lanci said: "We have found the mineral vein."

Speaking of the brothers who died, he was silent for a moment: "More than 30 people died."

"Nearly 600 enemies were killed."

When he heard that more than 30 people were sacrificed, Zhou Yuan's heart ached suddenly. These were all Chinese soldiers.

When he learned that they had killed so many enemies, he felt proud of this group of people.

Look, these are the Chinese soldiers. They defeated a larger force with a smaller one and still defended their territory.

"Come on, take me to see them."

Before Zhou Yuan had time to drink a sip of water, he went to pay tribute to his fallen comrades.

Yu Wanqing didn't say anything and just followed them.

She saw Zhou Yuan's hidden pain when he learned that more than thirty brothers had been sacrificed.

She always thought that if she could vent her pain, at least she wouldn't be hurt. But when she was faced with the death of her comrades, she realized that sometimes there was no time to feel the pain because they had to carry out another mission.

This kind of pain that is suppressed in the heart will not fade away with the passage of time. One day, or one night when it is quiet and quiet and you are alone, this pain will come flooding back like a tidal wave.

The pain at that time was real pain.

We went to pay respects at every grave in the surrounding area, and finally stood in front, looking at the more than 30 graves and whispered, "We are here, and we will be with you in the future. We will carry on with your will and the unfinished protection."

Yu Wanqing turned around, her eyes a little red, and she pursed her lips without saying a word.

After joining the army, she went on many missions, but this was the first time she faced the death of a comrade.

She didn’t even know the names of some of the more than 30 people who died, but she felt very sad.

I thought the uncomfortable feeling had passed, but standing here at this moment, I realized that the uncomfortable feeling has not passed.

Still exists.

She thought that throughout her life, whenever she thought of Huaxing Island, she would think of these thirty or so graves.

Thinking of the brothers who died in battle.

I learned from Zhou Yuan that the Chinese ships and the team stationed on Huaxing Island are still behind and will arrive in some time.

He looked at Yu Wanqing and Huo Lanci: "Don't worry, you may go back to spend the New Year with your family."

"When I came here, I heard that your grandpa and grandma were preparing to return home."

After that, Zhou Yuan took out a letter and said, "This is what Comrade Zhang Wenqian asked me to send to you."

Yu Wanqing was a little surprised. She didn't expect to hear news about Brother Wen Qian here.

"Comrade Zhang is now the ambassador to the United States."

"He is also in charge of the Huaxing Island affairs, and he is also in charge of the coordination of this matter."

At this point, Zhou Yuan sighed: "Seeing you guys, I finally understand what it means to be young and promising."

When Yu Wanqing and Huo Lanci returned to the house where they lived, Huo Lanci smiled and joked, "Why don't you hurry up and read the letter Comrade Zhang wrote to you?"

Yu Wanqing nodded: "Let's see it now, right away."

After hearing this, Huo Lanci was very angry. He had just said a joke, but she actually took it seriously.

She actually read the letter Zhang Wenqian wrote to her carefully in front of her.

He craned his neck to see what was written on the letter.

Yu Wanqing moved so that he couldn't see it.

Huo Lanci pursed his lips, and finally went to see what was to be done.

They no longer live in tents, but in wooden houses that are tightly surrounded on all sides, so the wind cannot blow in and it doesn't feel as cold as outside.

After Yu Wanqing finished reading a letter, Huo Lanci brought out a bowl of hot oatmeal porridge: "Eat something to warm yourself up."

Seeing this, Yu Wanqing glanced at her husband with a half-smile: "Why, you're not angry anymore? Don't you want to know what Brother Wen Qian wrote to me?"

After hearing this, Huo Lanci sat down next to his wife and said, "Of course I want to know what the letter says. Xiaowu, you have to understand me. This is human nature. If you don't let me read it, I will definitely not ask any more questions."

Yu Wanqing smiled and handed the letter to Huo Lanci: "Read it yourself."

After saying this she went to wash her hands. Someone had prepared oatmeal porridge for her and if she didn't eat it she would be making things difficult for herself.

Huo Lanci was stunned for a moment, holding the letter in his hand, hesitating again and again, and finally put the letter on the table.

He was actually just making trouble on purpose and had no other intentions.

Although he had never really gotten to know Zhang Wenqian, he knew that he was a gentleman and would never write nonsense in a letter.

Yu Wanqing was washing her hands inside. It seemed as if she had eyes behind her back. She said slowly, "Don't hesitate. That letter was not written to me alone."

"You can go and see it openly."

Huo Lanci wanted to say: Since it was written for you and me, why didn't you say it just now?

Thinking of this, he felt a little aggrieved.

He opened the letter and saw the first line. He felt like carrying his wife back to the room and giving her a good beating.

He wrote about Xiaowu and Comrade Huo.

This is a letter to them both as a couple.

He looked at the woman who came out of the small kitchen: "Yu Xiaowu, you are going too far."
