1236、I have seen the light(2/2)
Ren Xiaosu sometimes wonders whether those people controlled by zero still have their own perceptions?
Perhaps they can still see, hear, have a sense of smell and taste.
But even in this situation where the five senses are present, I have to be forced to eat insects and animal limbs to supplement protein and swallow animal internal organs to supplement fat. How terrible and cruel this is.
The old man sat on the stool and looked up at Ren Xiaosu and smiled: "I heard from the young man next door that the enemy was coming and the Northwest Army wanted strategic transfer. I was not nostalgic about this place. Although I lived for a lifetime, I also wanted to see the peaceful and prosperous times after the Northwest Army defeated the enemy. But my leg was lame, I couldn't walk anymore, and I couldn't walk to Fortress 178."
Ren Xiaosu was puzzled: "Isn't it clear on the radio? A 55-year-old man like you don't have to go that far, so naturally someone will make arrangements for you."
The old man smiled and said, "I know that the Northwest Army is kind-hearted and brings the women with children and the elderly together. I guess I want to transport them by vehicles. But there are so many people in one barrier, how can the Northwest Army be busy? I won't cause trouble for them by this old bone."
Ren Xiaosu was a little helpless. Although the broadcast said that the evacuation was arranged uniformly, it did not mention the matter of the key gate. On the one hand, it was difficult to explain the operating mechanism of the key gate, and on the other hand, it was unnecessary to explain this.
Ordinary residents understood what was going on when they heard the unified arrangements of the elderly, weak, women and children. However, the old man did not want to cause trouble for the Northwest Army, so he simply stopped reporting to the military sub-district.
Ren Xiaosu asked softly: "Why? Isn't it good if someone helps you?"
The old man smiled and said, "When I was young, the Zong family had the final say here. At that time, everyone didn't think it was too hard. Anyway, the consortium gave you a bite of food, so you just make do with it. Don't pay attention to it. Although everyone knows that life is very hard, they can tolerate it. They thought that everyone in the world lived this kind of life. Everyone said that life was good at Fortress 178, but everyone had no idea because they had never seen it with their own eyes. They just thought it was a legend."
The old man continued, "Later, the Northwest Army of Fortress 178 came, and the atmosphere in the barriers finally began to become active. Everyone dared to speak loudly, and the beautiful daughter dared to dress up and go out to the streets. There was no need to be afraid to see soldiers. If there were beautiful girls at home who had cut their hair short as a boy, they would not dare to let the Zong people see it. Only then did everyone realize that they had lived in dark ditches before, but now the sun had just shined in."
Ren Xiaosu asked, "Since the good days have just begun, we should live longer."
"You are young people who don't understand," the old man smiled: "What kind of enemy can force the Northwest Army to retreat? It must be a terrible enemy, an enemy they can't defeat, right? After the Northwest Army came to Barrier No. 144, it reduced taxes and established administrative service centers. After the Young Commander of the Northwest Army came, he also got food for everyone, distributed land for everyone, and led everyone to build water conservancy. At this time of crisis, if the Zong family was changed, those soldiers would have already run away. As a result, the Northwest Army did not leave everyone to retreat, but instead built relief stations to help the elderly, weak, women and children. But I know, they were afraid they didn't even care about themselves and were thinking about us."
The old man continued, "When the disaster is coming, people still miss you, but you must be ignorant. What is it that I die at such an old age? I have to let the Northwest Army soldiers survive a few more so that we can win. If the Northwest Army wins, the descendants of this land will not have to live in the gutters like when I was young."
If he didn't know what the world should be like, it would be fine if he actually lived under the rule of the Zong family. Anyway, this is the way of living since he was born, and he could survive regardless of the situation.
But he had seen this short peaceful era in the northwest, and could no longer bear the life he had experienced, and he did not even want those who lived on this land to experience all that.
In the uncle's opinion, preserving the power of the Northwest Army is far more important than his old bones to survive.
Ren Xiaosu was silent for a long time. He waved to find the two infantry brigade soldiers who came to the street and said, "Get this old man to build a military control area for me."
Of course, these two soldiers recognized Ren Xiaosu and immediately set up the uncle without saying a word and left. In the barrier No. 144, what the young marshal said was the imperial edict.
The old man was carried away for more than ten meters away from the ground and was completely stunned.
He suddenly struggled: "You let go of me, I won't leave, you can take others away!"
The two soldiers whispered: "Master, don't make things difficult for us. The young marshal said that even if you call me, you have to go to the military control area to evacuate with others."
The old man was stunned for a moment: "Who did you say that young man was just now?"
The two soldiers were having fun: "You chatted with the young coach for a long time, but you still don't know who he is?"
The old man was completely stunned.
