There was another loud bang, louder than the Japanese's 75mm cannon. Shuo Yu stared at the sea of flowers in front of him. The flowers surrounded him like waves, leaving no space. It was as if they had fallen into the Nujiang River made of flowers.
People appeared out of nowhere, holding flowers in their hands and small drums on their waists, beating them with smiles on their faces.
Flowers and smiling faces seemed to drown him like a tide.
The villagers of Zenda City came out from every corner to welcome their "heroes" home. That was all. There were no enemies, no attacks, only their warm flowers and colorful blankets that greeted them.
The quilt was covering them, and everyone, including Shuo Yu, was at a loss as to what to do. They just stood there, dumbfounded, not knowing what to do. They could only passively accept it. These simple people rushed up like a mob, giving them everything they had without any regard for the consequences.
Shuo Yu also saw many familiar faces that he hadn't seen before after such a long time. He was the one who was most crowded with flowers and smiling faces.
So much so that their leader took the lead in running away, shouting "baozi". Those heartless guys were already used to rushing with him, and none of them paid any attention to him. They threw him alone in the crowd, letting the old men and women pinch him, hug him, and ask about his well-being. In the process, his pants, which were not of very good quality, finally snapped and fell into pieces. Now he really only had a pair of shorts left.
Finally, he saw a familiar face in the crowd, Zhao Qian, with a bandage on his arm hanging around his neck. Hiding in the crowd, he was being squeezed by the enthusiastic flow of people looking at him. So the strong laborer was immediately requisitioned by Shuo Yu and became his "means of transportation". He carried him on his back to find the group of guys who had no comradeship with the regiment commander.
"You haven't left yet?" Shuo Yu asked awkwardly while lying on Zhao Qian's back. He didn't expect that this guy hadn't left yet.
"No, you said we'd meet up on the East Coast, so I thought I'd wait and see." Zhao Qian's voice was calm.
"What if we die and don't come back?"
"Then I will join the garrison here, and one day I will avenge you after crossing the west coast." He seemed to be stating a fact. Shuoyu's dirty hands were inserted into his short hair, which was very clean. It was obvious that he had washed himself thoroughly after returning.
"Then your wish has been dashed. We are back. Do you still want to join us? Now the defenders on the east coast have been offended by our regiment commander. Now our regiment only has one company left at most."
"Wherever you go, I will go. I will fight with you."
Shuo Yu nodded, and then, to show that Zhao Qian was one of his own, he gave him a nickname, "Big Eyes," because he really had a pair of big eyes, which were quite special.
When Shuo Yu finally found those bastards, he discovered that they had robbed a small bun shop on the street. He lowered his head to eat and touched his head a little ashamedly. He was a hero just a second ago, but now he has become a bun robber.
Shuo Yu quickly waved his hand and said to the boss,
"We will pay, we will pay."
The owner of this small bun shop knew Shuoyu, and he was so happy when he heard this that he wished Fanla and Sila would eat more.
Shuoyu was carried over and squeezed in between them.
"Rangrang, you haven't eaten in a few days. You really don't care about your image at all."
Fanla glanced at Shuoyu, who was only wearing a pair of shorts, and wanted to say something but was blocked by Baozi.
Shuo Yu also had a big stuffed bun in his hand. He gave half to Zhao Qian and stuffed the other half into his own mouth. He had to pay for it anyway, so he would have to eat it.
But such a large tray of buns is obviously not enough for Shuoyu and his group of nearly a hundred people.
The people who had just welcomed them at the Zenda gate also followed them here, carrying fruits, chili peppers, pork, red-skinned eggs, and even a little girl peeling a small bowl of pine nuts...
Zenda City was not wealthy. When Shuoyu and his companions left, the city was still suffering from famine. These were the most precious things they could offer their "heroes".
A pair of hands lifted up their only wishes. Although their hero was in tatters, he really saved them. According to the original plan, they were going to leave the small town and burn everything they could not take away. This is the famous plan of clearing the countryside.
But now they don't have to leave, Zenda City has been defended, and they can still continue to live here.
A large fumigated pork elbow was placed in front of Milong. Just as he was about to reach out to grab it, the veterinarian next to him slapped his hand back. He dared not reach out again.
Shuo Yu looked at this scene, and felt warm in his heart. He took half a bunch of bananas and distributed them to the guys who were too embarrassed to take them.
"Eat, eat, you deserve it. We are all heroes today."
Kang Ya, you want it spicy, not numb. It's annoying. They watched Shuoyu distribute the food one by one, and quickly swallowed the buns in their mouths, fearing that if they were a step late, they would not get any.
Shuoyu still needed to be supported by others to move, but he was always surrounded by people who supported him. A well-educated old man came out from the crowd. Shuoyu knew him. He was a famous wealthy family in Zenda City. Half of the industries in Zenda City belonged to this old man.
"Brave man, brave man! You've worked hard, you've worked hard. Come on! Pour some wine!"
A large wine jar half a person's height was poured into a large bowl. If Wu Song's "three bowls and no more crossing the line" were all such large bowls, then one bowl alone would make the man fall to the ground, not to mention three bowls. Shuo Yu leaned against Zhao Qian, his eyes wide open, and watched with him, pulling his arm with annoyance. He really didn't know whether this old man came to celebrate or to cause trouble.
