Chapter 52

We had plenty of time to get back to the island, so the three of us took the train back at a leisurely pace.

People with a high level of rank can buy sleeper tickets, so taking the train is not that tiring.

There was some excitement along the way.

Xu Wen’s two lifetimes of cultural learning were not in vain. He had an outstanding temperament, a stunning appearance, and he also slept in a bunk bed. Naturally, he attracted the attention of many “interested people”.

There are traffickers and there are thieves.

When Lu Yuanzheng escorted the third wave of people to the police, his face was extremely dark. He asked Xu Wen fearfully, "How did you manage to get from the north to the south safely?"

"I didn't think too much about it at the time. I just received the news of your sacrifice, and heard that you were not dead but just seriously injured and unconscious, so I thought I had to come and see you anyway."

Lu Yuanzheng held her hand and sighed with a little fear: "Fortunately, you are okay!"

Xu Wen nodded. She was not like those girls in the commune who had never been out of the house, so she was still on guard against others.

I never feel alone, I just follow the crowd. I would rather sleep at the station with Dongsheng in my arms than go to a small guesthouse.

If you can take the bus, take it. If there are no buses, you would rather spend more money to take a regular car.

It was winter then, and she was not only wearing thick clothes but also wearing earthy clothes.

She can't disguise herself but she can put on makeup. If she uses makeup well, it's like a minor plastic surgery, which can make her look good or not.

Dongsheng heard what Lu Yuanzheng said and raised his head proudly, "My mom will be fine! She's amazing! She can discharge electricity! She electrocuted three bad guys!"

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

Xu asked: "..."

"So you also met bad guys when you came to see me?"

Xu Wen saw Lu Yuanzheng's expression as if he wanted to travel back in time and beat someone up, and shook his head: "It was just that we encountered bad weather when we changed trains, and the train was delayed and we had to wait too long. I was afraid that Dong Sheng would run into some hooligans when I took him out to buy things."

In fact, what bothered Xu Wen the most at that time was not the hooligans, but the limited flow of people in the waiting hall.

When the number of people in the waiting room reached a certain number, the administrator closed the door and refused to let anyone in.

It's easy to get out, but it's not easy to go back.

The weather was so cold, Xu Wen could still bear it but he was afraid of catching a cold.

It was because Dongsheng was young and had a sweet mouth that he called the administrator "uncle" all the time and persuaded him to let them in.

That was the first time Xu Wen felt how difficult it was to take a child out.

Lu Yuanzheng's cheekbone moved.

Xu Wen felt that he was gritting his teeth, and hurriedly said, "I can handle it. After all, I am a genuine top student. I made a stun gun myself. Although it is not very powerful, it is more than enough to scare a few hooligans."

Lu Yuanzheng was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Your idea of ​​dropping out of school is a good one!"

Xu asked: "..."

After getting off the train, the family of three went to the city for some shopping.

Xu Wen mainly picked out some raw foods suitable for winter, as well as various daily necessities.

Lu Yuanzheng picked some food that didn't take up much space but filled the stomach.

After a round of shopping, I spent almost all my money and notes. I exchanged two woven bags full of things.

To put it in the context of a long expedition, once you get to the island, the money and notes are just a piece of waste paper and have little practical significance.

After buying things, they took a car to the port and waited for the transport ship carrying supplies to the island to pass by.

This boat ride lasts a whole day.

The long journey will definitely be fine, even Dongsheng won’t get seasick.

Only Xu asked.

Originally Xu Wen was fine, but when they were out at sea a strong wind suddenly arose, and it was a headwind, so that the boat was swaying with the waves and moving forward with difficulty, which made Xu Wen dizzy.

Lu Yuanzheng helped her into the cabin and fed her some seasickness medicine.

Xu Wen lay on the narrow bed with a pale face.

"We're almost there! Just bear with it." Lu Yuanzheng comforted Xu Wen.

What Lu Yuanzheng meant by "almost" was five or six hours.

They drifted on the sea for a whole day before finally reaching the shore.

Dongsheng had been lying in bed all day. When he saw the shore, he shouted excitedly, "Mom! Look, we are almost on the island!"

Only then did Xu Wen come out to take a look. It looked like an isolated island in the vast ocean.

Xu Wen blinked and asked Lu Yuanzheng, "What island is this?"

Lu Yuanzheng shook his head. "It's the island closest to the high seas. And it's almost unconnected to the other islands in the archipelago. It's more like an isolated island. It's said that there were residents on the island a long time ago, but due to its geographical location, the surrounding countries were eyeing it covetously, and wars of varying scales often occurred. The islanders had no choice but to flee. I heard that some people call them Pear Islands."

Xu Wen searched his memory and had no impression of this island.

After landing, Xu Wen was a little dumbfounded.

In her imagination, although the island would not be like a beach vacation with beach chairs and umbrellas, it should at least be able to accommodate people.

This island is a bit like the island in the movie. Movies about surviving on a deserted island.

Xu Wen blinked and asked Lu Yuanzheng, "Did you know about this island before you came here?"

Lu Yuanzheng nodded.

Xu Wen asked again: "Then is it too late for me to take Dongsheng back to school now?"

Lu Yuanzheng snorted and said coldly, "It's too late."

It’s not that he really couldn’t leave, but Xu Wen was obviously joking.

Lu Yuanzheng helped the soldiers who came to pick up the goods to unload the supplies from the ship, and then followed the truck that came to pick up the supplies to the camp.

The temporary camp is temporarily located not far from the shore, in a tropical rainforest.

The majority of the troops had only arrived on the island a day or two, and much work had not yet begun.

At first glance, the camp site was a place where tents were set up temporarily after clearing the trees.

The military green canvas tents were lined up neatly.

The journey was long and as soon as they arrived, the people in the camp came to greet them.

Lu Yuanzheng's clerk ran over to help them carry the luggage to the tent.

Wenshu called Xu Wen "sister-in-law" and asked Lu Yuanzheng, "Lu Ying, we have just arrived and haven't built a house yet, let alone a family room. What do you think sister-in-law will do?"

"Where do I live? In a collective tent?" Lu Yuanzheng asked.

Wenshu shook his head. "You have a separate tent, but it's a little small. It might be a bit crowded for a family of three."

The journey was long and arduous, so I turned back to ask Xu.

Xu Wen nodded.

"It's okay, they will live with me." Lu Yuanzheng made the decision.

Lu Yuanzheng's tent looked quite large, but like his previous room in the company, it was a two-in-one living and office space.

In addition to the desk and camp bed, there is also a small conference table.

It's okay for him to live alone, but it's really crowded for a family of three.

The clerk explained: "It was mainly because I didn't expect my sister-in-law to come back with me. I will arrange for someone to move the conference table and add an extra bed."

Lu Yuanzheng hummed.

"The instructor said there will be a meeting at five o'clock."

Lu Yuanzheng raised his wrist to check his watch, which still left about an hour, and nodded to show that he understood.

After Wenshu left, Lu Yuanzheng pulled a chair and sat down.

The sea breeze was damp and his legs were feeling uncomfortable.

Dongsheng walked around in the tent and felt bored, so he turned around and ran out to play.

Xu Wen was walking around in the tent, gesticulating.

"What are you gesturing?"

Xu Wen turned around and glanced at Lu Yuanzheng. "Since we're going to live here for a long time, we have to make it comfortable."

"It's just a tent. You won't be able to make it any more comfortable no matter how much you tidy it up. Why are you fussing about it? You just got off the boat. Why don't you take a rest first?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud voice rang out from outside the tent.

"Lu Lian, no, Lu Ying! You're back!"

The sound arrives before the person arrives.

Xu Wen and Lu Yuanzheng looked towards the door of the tent at the same time.

A burly soldier rushed into the tent, stopped in front of Lu Yuanzheng and rolled up his sleeves.

Xu Wen swallowed his saliva and felt a little nervous. It looked like they were coming to fight Lu Yuanzheng. Could Lu Yuanzheng, who had just recovered from a serious injury, defeat them?

Where's her anti-wolf spray?

Lu Yuanzheng didn't move at all and asked the big guy, "What are you doing? Who are you looking for to fight?"

The big guy had raised eyebrows and a fierce look on his face. When he opened his mouth, his voice was as loud as a bell, but his words were like a child complaining: "You don't know, they bullied us during the time you were in treatment!"

"who?"

"Those bastards in the agency. Especially Dong Chao, who was transferred to the agency by our team, but when they allocated the islands, they didn't even pick a better one for us. Look at this shabby place they allocated to us. Although they are both islands, the island they allocated to us is completely different from ours. They have houses to live in, food, and the island is popular.

Look at us here! It's deserted and we have to build our own camp. We have to open up wasteland to get food. Being hungry is not a big deal, but drinking water is a problem. There is only one small freshwater lake on the island, and the military doctor took samples and said it was not drinkable. All kinds of poisons were thrown in during the war.

In this life, everything depends on the land to transport supplies to us, so the weather is fine.

A few days ago, there was a storm and the boat could not come across. My brothers and I almost died of thirst. We didn't die in the hands of the enemy, but we were almost wiped out because of a mouthful of water. Don't you think it's infuriating?

I don't want to stay in this shabby place for even a day. It's not that I can't endure hardships. There are dozens of islands of all sizes in this archipelago. With so many brother units occupying islands, why would they give us the most shabby and miserable one?

Even if we were to judge by merit, our battalion would be ranked ahead of the support battalion, right? When helping our grandsons fight, we would be at the back, but when it comes to dividing the islands, we would pick the best ones. "

Xu Wen was confused.

His lung capacity is commensurate with his height. He can speak so many words in one breath without taking a breath in between.

Lu Yuanzheng poured a glass of water and held it in front of the big guy, "Drink some water first, don't die of thirst here. I still have to pay for your life!"

Xu asked: "..."

The man seemed to have said something serious to Lu Yuanzheng. He stood at attention suddenly, straight, and lowered his head, but one could still see that he was somewhat angry.

"I asked Dong Chao to give us this island." Lu Yuanzheng said calmly.

"Ah?" The big guy stared at me with his eyes wide open like a bull. "No, why?"

"Because the 17 soldiers of the first company all died while attacking this island. You were temporarily transferred to other ships, but you didn't know that most of the soldiers of not only the first company, but the entire battalion, died on the entire island. This island is easy to defend but difficult to attack, but its geographical location is extremely important. I want to guard this island and protect our brothers. It is impossible to change the island. If you really don't want to stay, I will find someone to move you to another place?"

Xu Wen didn't expect that there would be such a reason for dividing the island.

The big guy didn't expect it, and suddenly he looked like someone had pulled out his valve needle. He instantly wilted and apologized with his head down: "Lu Ying, I'm sorry! I was wrong! I'm fine, I won't change, I'm leaving."

After saying this, he turned around and ran away, fearing that Lu Yuanzheng would insist on moving him to another island.

Lu Yuanzheng didn't call him, but just looked into the distance through the gap in the tent door with a deep gaze.

Xu Wen walked behind Lu Yuanzheng and put his hands on his shoulders, "Lu Yuanzheng, I will accompany you from now on."

Lu Yuanzheng turned around and hugged Xu Wen's waist, with his head resting on her lower abdomen.

After a while, Xu Wen felt a warmth in his lower abdomen.
