Seeing that Guan Lulu was unwilling to go down the mountain with them, Captain Liu and his companions did not force her too much.
Although they have good intentions, if they force others to do something against their will, then their kindness will be distorted.
Captain Liu led everyone down the mountain.
After seeing Captain Liu and the others leave, Wang Jianguo loosened his grip on the shotgun and felt relieved.
For some reason, Wang Jianguo felt that the group of people in military uniforms, especially the leader, were inexplicably familiar, as if he had seen them before.
But when I think about it a little, my head starts to hurt.
Wang Jianguo shook his head, picked up the pheasant he had just shot, and ran towards the yard at the foot of the mountain.
"Sister, why did they come to you just now?" Wang Jianguo wanted to know the reason so that he could know if there would be any danger next time.
Guan Lulu looked at Wang Jianguo with a complicated look in her eyes.
She used to think he was a beggar, and a beggar with a not very smart brain.
But now she knew that he was actually a soldier.
Soldiers are very popular nowadays. It is a very good profession and many girls are scrambling to marry them.
Now that I have trapped him here, am I hindering his future?
But when I thought about the fact that if he left, I might lose him forever, and that if he left, I would be all alone, I became more resolute in my decision.
"It's okay, don't worry. They just got lost and asked me for the way down the mountain." Guan Lulu answered casually.
Wang Jianguo nodded, "I see."
If you just want to ask for directions, it’s okay. After all, the road conditions in this deep forest are complicated. If it’s your first time here and you’re not familiar with the place, it’s easy to get lost.
Guan Lulu: "Well, don't worry, we are all good citizens, and others will not cause trouble for us."
"Sister is right. I'll go and prepare the pheasant now." Wang Jianguo put away the shotgun and started to prepare the pheasant.
"Captain Liu, do you think Captain Wang jumped out of the plane to escape? After all, his body was not found at the scene." asked one of the soldiers.
Captain Liu: "I have always believed this, so I did not agree to register him as a martyr. I specially asked my superiors to come to this deep mountain to look for him."
There are two possibilities for not finding a body at the scene. One is that the person was blown to ashes, leaving no trace. The other is that he jumped out of the plane before the explosion and landed in the forest.
After all, the fog was very thick at the time, and the crew members couldn't see clearly whether Wang Jianguo jumped out of the plane or not.
"Although we all hope that he is not dead, we still haven't found Captain Wang this time, so we will definitely treat him as a martyr when we return."
Captain Liu nodded.
Although he was unwilling to believe this fact, his wife and children were still alive. If he applied for martyrdom, although the monthly allowance would not be as much as when he was alive, he would still receive a pension, which could supplement the family expenses to some extent.
If you don't apply for martyr status, you won't get this subsidy.
At this time, a soldier made a discovery: "Look, there is a piece of torn clothes."
After saying this, the soldier stepped over the thorns and picked it up.
Captain Liu took it and took a look. The cloth was burnt black and tattered, but Captain Liu was very familiar with it because it was the same material as the leather he was wearing, so he could tell it was his own property just by touching it.
"This is the clothes worn by Captain Wang." Captain Liu said in a very affirmative tone.
The tattered clothes that Wang Jianguo was wearing were thrown away by Guan Lulu, and then they were taken away by a wild rabbit in the mountains. Unexpectedly, they were found by Captain Liu and his men.
Everyone's eyes lit up after hearing this.
If this is Captain Wang’s clothes, why is it here?
Even though the clothes were in tatters, they were still intact, and most importantly, there was no blood stain on them.
If Captain Wang was injured in the explosion, there would definitely be bloodstains on his clothes, but there were no even dried bloodstains on this piece of clothing.
This proves that Wang Jianguo is still alive.
"That's great, Wang Jianguo is still alive!" Captain Liu's tone was filled with unconcealable joy.
"Captain Liu, what should we do next?"
Everyone has searched the area thoroughly but found nothing.
Captain Liu thought for a moment and said, "Let's search again. This time we must search more carefully than last time."
They knew that Wang Jianguo was most likely still alive, and as long as Wang Jianguo was still on the mountain, they had to find him.
This time, the guys searched a little slowly, observing every place carefully. As they walked, they shouted, "Captain Wang!" "Wang Jianguo!"
Wang Jianguo was chopping wood on the mountain when he saw the group of people asking for directions again.
Thinking of what Guan Lulu had told him, telling him not to talk to these people, he did not go up to them, but took a detour and left.
After returning home, Wang Jianguo told Guan Lulu, "I ran into that group of people again when I went to the mountain to chop wood this afternoon. They seemed to be looking for someone and kept shouting in the mountain."
Guan Lulu was shocked when she heard this: "Did you go up and say hello to them?"
Wang Jianguo shook his head: "No, I listened to my sister and came back directly with the firewood."
Guan Lulu felt relieved. She didn't expect that the group of people would not give up and kept searching in the mountains, so Wang Jianguo could not go out for the next few days.
In this way, they won’t be able to find Wang Jianguo even if they find him next year.
Captain Liu and his team searched for several days but still found nothing. Everyone had eaten all the food they brought with them and had been hunting in the wild for the past few days.
"Captain Liu, he is a living person. I heard that he was a hunter before. If he is alive, how could these places trap him? Do you think Captain Wang is no longer in the mountain?"
After hearing this, Captain Liu replied thoughtfully: "I was just worried that he was injured and couldn't leave. Now it seems that he should not be on the mountain."
Since he was not found on the mountain, it is likely that he has already gone down the mountain.
After returning to the army, I waited for half a month, but still did not see Wang Jianguo come back.
Captain Liu began to think: Since Wang Jianguo's clothes were intact, there was a high probability that he was alive. Why couldn't he come back?
Did he fall to his death, or fall into a tiankeng? Were his clothes torn by animals?
He thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, but he knew that Wang Jiang's family had a lot of children, so when he received his allowance, he would send it back to his wife first.
So even though his life or death is uncertain now, we can't delay any longer, so we processed the status of a martyr for him and applied for pensions and subsidies for his children.
For the children of martyrs, each child receives a fixed monthly subsidy.
Although this money is not much, only a few dollars each month, but there are so many children. The money for eight children adds up to several dozen dollars, plus his wife's money, if not a hundred, it must be seventy or eighty.
This amount of money is definitely a huge sum nowadays.
I originally thought that since Wang Jianguo had died, no one would send money home, and I would have to rely on myself for everything from now on.
Huang Yuelan was thinking about taking a break for a while and then going back to school to teach and earn work points.
It was not realistic to go back now. She had just experienced the pain of losing her father and was in an extremely dazed mood. She felt that her mental state was not good and she could not take care of the children at all.
On this day, the postman came to their house again.
"Is anyone there?" asked the postman.
When Huang Yuelan heard the postman's voice, she was in a trance and returned to the time when Wang Jianguo was still alive.
I came to the gate of the yard and took the letter handed to me by the postman.
"Your letter." The postman ran to the school today and found that Huang Yuelan no longer lived in the school. After asking, he learned that she had returned to live in the mountains. She left the letters for the educated youth and came here again.
Huang Yuelan took the letter and said, "Thank you."
After seeing the handwriting on the envelope, I felt suddenly disappointed. It was completely different from Wang Jianguo's handwriting. I had just hoped that it was sent back by Wang Jianguo, but I felt disappointed all of a sudden.
After opening the letter, Huang Yuelan found that it was sent back from Wang Jianguo's unit.
Along with the letters, there were also pensions and subsidies sent back, but they were sent in the form of remittance slips.
Looking at the numbers above, although it cannot be compared with Wang Jianguo's salary, it is still not small. At least it is much more than what she earned as a teacher in the production brigade primary school.
"Mom, has Dad written to me again? When will he come back?" Wang Aimin asked innocently, with anticipation in his eyes.
They didn't know anything about their father yet, so when they saw the postman delivering the letter, they thought their father had sent back some snacks.
Huang Yuelan put the letter away and said, "Your father went on an important mission. Although he couldn't take us with him, he sent us the money back. We can go to the county town to withdraw it on the weekend."
"Very good!"
As long as A Niang went to the county town, money meant delicious food.
Because the county bank and supply and marketing cooperative are on the same street and are quite close to each other.
So every time after withdrawing money, A Niang would go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy not only some daily necessities, but also some snacks for them.
Such things as candies, peach cakes, biscuits, melon seeds and so on.
Thinking about receiving Wang Jianguo's pension every month, Huang Yuelan felt as if Wang Jianguo was still alive. She felt greatly comforted and was no longer as depressed as before. Her spirits were greatly lifted.
"I can't fall down. I have eight children here! What will happen to the children if I fall down?" Huang Yuelan encouraged herself.
It was time to re-arrange work in the production team, and everyone in the village was hoping to get a job.
For example, herding sheep or raising pigs is an easy job, and many people are scrambling for it.
Team leader Fan Ming learned that Wang Jianguo had died and that it was very difficult for Huang Yuelan to raise eight children alone, so he planned to let her continue to work as a teacher in the school.
But a few more educated youth came to the school, and their village now has no shortage of teachers.
Moreover, the school dormitory is full. It would be very inconvenient if I lived there with eight children.
"Captain, I think our village primary school is not short of teachers for the time being. I think it's okay to do something else, such as raising pigs or herding sheep." Huang Yuelan felt that this job was more convenient for her.
After all, there are two houses at the pig farm. Although they are a bit shabby, her requirements are not high. As long as they can be lived in, it's fine.
Besides, Aiguo and the others have grown up a lot, and they can help a lot with pig farming.
Children from poor families have to grow up early. Although they are only six or seven years old now, they can do a lot of work.
Not to mention cleaning and cooking, she also helps collect firewood and look after the children.
In the future, collecting grass for pigs will definitely be a piece of cake.
Team leader Fan Ming felt that it was a waste of talent to let Huang Yuelan, a high school student, raise pigs. However, she had eight children to take care of and no one to help her, so it was not appropriate for her to be a teacher in a school. After thinking about it, he gave the job of raising pigs to Huang Yuelan.
In fact, being a pig farmer is a lucrative job nowadays. After all, you don't have to work in the fields. You just need to feed the pigs at designated locations. Moreover, many pig farmers will secretly take the pig feed home to cook.
Although it doesn’t taste good and makes my throat ache, it’s better than starving to death.
So many people are scrambling to become pig farmers.
"Okay, then you can be a pig farmer. I believe you can raise the pigs in our village well." Team leader Fan Ming believed in Huang Yuelan's character. He would never be like the previous pig farmers who secretly took pig feed home and made it into vegetable dumplings to eat.
Therefore, the food those pigs eat will be punished, at least they won’t be like now, where they are starving to the point of being just skeletons left.
