There will always be people returning home in the midst of the wind and snow.
Wang Laomao, who was hiding behind the pile of firewood, looked at the figure getting closer and closer in the wind and snow, and he couldn't help feeling a little dazed.
Once upon a time, he was walking in the wind and snow like the man in front of him.
The northwest wind blew snow, making his face red. The snowflakes poured into his neck, making him feel icy cold.
But he was walking in the snow, slipping every three steps, just for a warm little house where there was a woman waiting for him.
The winter in Northeast China is covered with ice and snow, and it is cold everywhere. Soldiers naturally have to climb on ice and lie in the snow, but the moment they return home, everything is worth it for the woman they love.
But I don’t know what will happen to the woman I love as I head south like this.
At this moment, Wang Laomao suddenly felt that he was a little old. He was a little nostalgic for women, the warm quilt, the hot porridge made by his woman for him, and the dried chilies roasted over fire.
Oh, that dried chili is such a delicacy!
The fire for roasting dried chilies cannot be wood fire or bean fire, it must be wheat fire.
Because the wheat flour is roasted over a low fire, the dry and spicy food inside is not black and has the aroma of chili peppers.
Then put it in the potato and cabbage soup with big slices of fat. The hot and spicy feeling is really nostalgic.
I wonder if this bastard would also have potato and cabbage soup with roasted peppers when he sees his lover.
Thinking of this, Wang Laomao finally came to his senses, but the man was already approaching.
"Is it that dead monkey?" Hu Zhuzi muttered softly.
The wind and snow still blocked the view, and the sky was very gloomy, but Wang Laomao only took a glance and he knew that the guy walking through the wind and snow with his neck tucked in and his voice stiffened was Hou Kanshan!
Damn it, I finally caught you, just wait and see how I’m going to beat you up!
But Wang Laomao was just thinking about how to deal with Hou Kanshan when Qian Chuaner had already recognized him.
"It's really that bastard! Oh, by the way, do you want to see his lover?" At this point, Qian Chuan'er was not in a hurry anymore.
Except for Hu Zhuzi and Xiao Boji, everyone else knows Hou Kanshan very well. Hou Kanshan has always been a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong.
Now, if they just jump forward from behind the pile of firewood, Hou Kanshan will definitely fall to his knees with a thud, there is no doubt about that!
But precisely because of this, the duck was already cooked, so why worry about him flying away? Qian Chuan'er was no shrew, and he suddenly became curious about what kind of woman would fall in love with Hou Kanshan? Or was Hou Kanshan just a tyrant, forcing himself on a good girl and bringing disaster to her?
After Qian Chuan'er said this, the others became curious and looked at Wang Laomao again.
Wang Laomao, who was already furious, didn't express his opinion when he heard Qian Chuan's words. But then Qian Chuan said what he was thinking: "Platoon leader, aren't you curious about what kind of woman this son of a bitch can find?"
Wang Laomao glanced at Hou Kanshan, who was getting closer and closer with his cotton hat covering his face to avoid the wind. He actually retreated behind the pile of firewood.
Is there any need to say more about this? Wang Laomao is also curious!
After Wang Lao Mao made such a move, was there any need to ask for his opinion? The other people murmured and hid behind the pile of firewood.
After a while, Hou Kanshan, covering himself with a cotton hat to avoid the wind, "brushed past" them from about the other side, only about ten steps away.
Seeing that Hou Kanshan was just walking with his head down, he didn't even glance at the firewood pile, and was completely unaware of it.
In fact, this is not surprising. Normal people are not thieves when they walk. Who would look around or look back?
At this moment, Qian Chuan started to grumble again: "This won't do. We have to send someone to run ahead of him. If we get close, he'll hear us. If we don't know which house he goes into, won't we be freezing in vain? We can't just knock on every door, can we?"
They are all veterans, and Wang Laomao only needs to make a gesture, and these veterans will split up instantly. Their tactical moves are so skillful, but isn’t it a bit of a waste of their talents to use them in “catching an adulterer”?
Wang Laomao led Qian Chuan'er, Erhanzi and Xiao Boji and followed the direction Hou Kanshan went, then went around to other alleys, while Qiu Bo and Hu Zhuzi followed from a distance behind.
This village is quite large. Wang Laomao and his companions were afraid of being discovered by Hou Kanshan, so they could only hide behind houses and firewood piles.
As for the rural houses nowadays, they are naturally built in a mess.
Families with better financial resources would naturally build a big house, while families with poorer conditions would be happy with a small thatched house.
Wang Laomao kept moving between the houses, so naturally he had to block Hou Kanshan in front of him before he could see which house Hou Kanshan entered.
But just when Wang Laomao and the other two were passing by a small thatched house, they heard the door of the house creak open. When they turned around, they saw a young woman walking out, and she happened to meet them face to face.
The woman looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old. Although she was wearing coarse clothes, she had a clean face.
Wang Laomao and the others were wearing the uniforms of the Northeast Army. The woman was stunned when she suddenly saw the three soldiers in the snow, but Wang Laomao and the other two ran over at this moment.
In a blink of an eye, Wang Laomao and the other two had bypassed the house, but when they reached the top of the hill, Wang Laomao suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Little Dustbin asked hurriedly.
Wang Laomao quickly made a gesture to silence the crowd, and at that moment the three of them heard the woman's voice coming from the front of the house: "Ah! You're back!"
The sound sounded so crisp, and within that crispness there was infinite surprise.
Then, a male voice came over: "Why don't you stay indoors on a snowy day and come out?"
The voice was exactly that of Hou Kanshan.
At this point, Xiao Boji and Erhanzi felt a little confused. It turned out that the young woman they had just met was actually Hou Kanshan's lover!
"I came out to get some firewood. It's getting dark," the woman replied.
"Oh, let me hold him, you go home and take care of your son!" Hou Kanshan's voice came again.
At this time, Hou Kanshan and the woman were talking in the same tone as, no, it was the tone of a couple talking about their daily life. However, Wang Laomao and the other three who were hiding in Fangshan were stunned again!
The reason why Wang Laomao stopped just now was because he suddenly realized that the woman he met might be Hou Kanshan’s lover?
But now, after hearing what Hou Kanshan said, how could they be lovers? They even have a child!
This is so fucking fast, isn't it? A year? It seems like it. Ten months of pregnancy, oh, almost.
Wang Laomao thought, although he was a rough old man, he still had some common sense.
Oh my god, this bastard actually had offspring before me! Is it because he is young?
Wang Laomao was in shock when the woman spoke again: "She just finished feeding and fell asleep. I'll go with you to get some firewood."
At this time, they heard Hou Kanshan respond, and then there were "creaking" and "creaking" footsteps sounds in the wind and snow.
Laomao Wang quickly turned around and looked out from the corner of the room, and saw Hou Kanshan and the woman walking towards a pile of firewood in the front room.
The wind and snow had subsided a little, and Wang Laomao and his friends were just downwind, so how far could their firewood pile be from their house? At this time, the voices of Kanshan and the woman talking came over with the wind.
It was obvious that the woman was very happy to see Hou Kanshan return. Wang Laomao and the others heard her say, "I stewed some cabbage for you with some fat and roasted some dried chilies. I've been waiting for you to come back."
Hou Kanshan asked, "How did you know I would come back today?"
The woman replied, "As soon as I saw it snowing I knew you would come back!"
"I'm covering you with a blanket!" The little dustpan at the end of Fangshan muttered in a low voice.
When Xiao Boji said this, Qian Chuan'er and Erhanzi naturally covered their mouths and laughed.
But Wang Laomao was not happy at this time. Instead, he was stunned. Oh, that woman actually stewed potatoes, cabbage and roasted dried peppers for Hou Kanshan!
Laomao Wang was leaning over the corner of the wall, thinking about it, when he saw Hou Kanshan walking back with an armful of firewood. However, the armful of firewood that guy was holding was really big, so he couldn't even look at him.
At this time, Wang Laomao heard the woman say, "Oh, I saw three soldiers just now!"
It's bad! When Wang Laomao heard the woman say this, he quickly retracted his head and whispered, "Run!"
