It was another dark night. There was no light in the sky. Even the light from the stars and the moon could not penetrate the thick clouds.
Shuo Yu counted the time and felt that it had been two days and that guy should have learned his lesson. He planned to go and see him secretly tonight. He had gone to see him secretly during the day, but the guy's mouth was covered and no one was feeding him. After all, deserters were supposed to be shot, and no one would waste food on a deserter.
But wouldn’t people starve to death if they didn’t eat for two or three days?
Their regimental commander had gone somewhere again. Perhaps he had gone to the division headquarters to get Yu Xiaoqing for the equipment they needed. However, he had left the dog meat behind and was not letting any of them leave.
Shuoyu bribed the dog master with a can of food, and waved to the equally worried veterinarian and the wealthy Milong who had money to buy a roast chicken, signaling them to come over quickly. Ayi stayed in their camp to buy them some time if the leader came back.
Originally, they were going to come if it wasn't spicy, but there were too many people and they would be easily discovered. It's not like they were just bored and went there for a picnic.
In his pocket was a warm lunch box, which contained rice porridge that he had specially cooked for Fanla in the evening. He hadn't eaten for a few days, and he would have vomited after eating roast chicken. Rice porridge was better, with both water and rice.
The three of them ventured into the pitch-black night. The night became even darker after they left their camp. The only light source nearby was the tiny flashes of light reflected by the dew. Shuoyu walked ahead, guiding Milong and the veterinarian.
He finally saw the hanging guy again. His body looked even darker and smaller in the darkness. There were two unlucky guys watching him not far away. However, the two not-so-duty sentinels had fallen asleep and were snoring loudly.
Milong glanced at the sentry holding a gun not far away, and crawled forward in a posture as if he was going to steal a mine. Meng Fanle saw him, and that black donkey face made him feel very familiar in such a night.
The veterinarian was a little scared, he never thought of himself as a soldier, he was just an old doctor, so the cat watched Milong and the others from the bushes, keeping watch for them. Shuoyu glanced at Milong's raised butt, then tiptoed carefully and quickly went over, looking at the little black face.
I raised my hand to signal him to be quiet for a while.
The air was filled with the scent of grass and soil, and it was a little cold. It was really autumn now. Fortunately, it hadn't rained in the past few days, otherwise this unlucky guy would have frozen to death, or died of a cold, even if he didn't starve to death. Shuo Yu touched Fanla's dry head and whispered,
"Stop talking, stop talking, open your mouth, and I'll give you something delicious."
The pair of eyes looked at Shuoyu in a trance. Shuoyu was going to start feeding Fanla without wasting any time. At this time, Milong was lying on the ground with his eyes wide open, watching Banxianer pass by so quickly. He was also anxious in his heart, and stood up quickly. His movements were a bit big, so Shuoyu glanced at him, fearing that he would wake up the two sentries.
In fact, they were not afraid of the two sentries. It was more because Master Yu's surname was Yu, and Master Yu had no secrets from Yu Xiaoqing. Shuo Yu hurriedly fed Fanla a few mouthfuls of rice porridge when he heard the sound of a rifle bolt being pulled. Looking back, he saw their captain appearing here for some reason.
It was he whom the two sentries had discovered,
“Who, who is here?!”
"I came to see my soldiers."
The light of the flashlight can reveal all those hiding in the dark.
Shuo Yu was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that he would be caught by their leader. He held the spoon of porridge in his hand and didn't know whether to put it down or feed it to the child. He leaned sideways and stared at their leader in a daze.
The two sentries saluted him respectfully, because they just realized that the other person was actually a colonel. Shuo Yu then realized that he was also a lieutenant of medium rank, so there was no need to be so sneaky, right?
He watched Si La Si La come over, snatch the roast chicken from Mi Long's hand and the lunch box from his own hand, and took a big bite in front of Meng Fan Le, drinking up the thin porridge which was not much to begin with.
"You deserve to die."
The next thing Si La Si La said was, "Let's go, what's so good about a damn thing?!"
Milong looked incredulous and wanted to negotiate with him again.
"No, he's been thirsty for days. Give him something, just one sip? Just one sip, at least. Who can stand this?"
Then Milong was kicked by Silasila, and his voice became lower and he continued to mutter, "Give him something to eat, at least." Shuoyu also looked at their leader, hesitating whether to speak or not, and turned back to look at Fanla who was struggling to even look up, and asked, "Do you have any way to save this guy?"
"Captain..."
"Veterinarian, you haven't finished peeing yet?"
"Ah—yes, as you get older, you have more troubles..."
The veterinarian who was hiding in the bushes not far away was called out, and had no choice but to follow them back.
Dead, dead, dead, he turned around and looked at the three people behind him, shouting loudly,
"I'm telling you, don't hesitate, just go back!"
Along with the sound of Milong being beaten, Shuoyu and the others were dragged away by Si La Si La. Shuoyu took advantage of the night and when their leader was not paying attention, and returned at an extremely fast speed. He looked at Meng Fanle's face, opened his mouth, and stuffed the candy in his hand into it. Before Fanle could react, he had disappeared.
All that remained was the sweet taste in his mouth.
