Rebirth of the Campus Special Forces
Chapter 4149: House of Desolation
Jiang Shan and Xi Peng galloped along the country road for a while, and then slowed down when they saw that there was no pursuer behind them.
"Brother Jiang, how about you and I fight back again to destroy their prestige?" Xi Peng seemed to feel a little itchy for not taking action the second time.
Jiang Shan rolled his eyes at Xi Peng, shook his head and said, "If you want to go back to jail, just go ahead and don't hold me back!"
Xi Peng thought for a while and thought that what Jiang Shan said was reasonable, so he immediately gave up the idea of looking for more excitement, sat on the horse and calmed down.
The two walked for nearly an hour before they saw several villages ahead.
"Presumably those people will not come after me." Jiang Shan dismounted, put his ear to the ground and listened for a while, then continued, "Tonight, we will stay in this village for a while, and we will continue on our way until tomorrow."
Xi Peng nodded to Jiang Shan and expressed his agreement.
Xi Peng stopped his horse at the door of a house at the entrance of the village, pointed at the door and said, "Is it right here?"
Jiang Shan also jumped off his horse, went to knock on the door, and asked, "Is there anyone there?"
After a long time, slow footsteps came from the yard, and an old woman's voice also came: "Who is it?"
"Mom, we are here to stay overnight." Xi Peng replied in a loud voice without thinking too much.
The footsteps inside stopped, there was silence for a while, and then he replied: "There are no young men in the house, only me, an old woman. You should go somewhere else to catch young men!"
When Jiang Shan and Xi Peng heard this, they looked at each other. It seemed that the owner of the family regarded them as officers and soldiers catching young men.
"Auntie, we are just passers-by. Seeing that it is getting dark, we want to find a place to stay for a night. We are not officers and soldiers!" Jiang Shan saw an old woman with white hair through the crack of the door, leaning on a chair.
Standing in the yard with a cane, his figure looked very thin.
The old woman sighed, then slowly walked over and opened the door for them. She was relieved when she saw that Jiang Shan and Xi Peng were not wearing official uniforms.
"Come in!" Seeing the disgraced faces of the two people in front of her, the old woman judged that they had indeed traveled a long way. With a kind heart, she let Jiang Shan and Xi Peng in before closing the door.
Jiang Shan asked Xi Peng to tie the horse aside, while he helped the old woman walk towards the house.
"Auntie, do you live alone at home? Will we disturb you?" Jiang Shan looked at the entire yard and saw that the yard was in a mess, as if it hadn't been cleaned up in a long time.
The old woman heard from Jiang Shan's tone that these two people were not evil people, so she relaxed her guard. She shook her head helplessly and sighed: "My family originally had two sons, and they were both arrested by the government.
I lost my husband and haven’t been back home for more than a year..."
At this time, Xi Peng had already settled the horses. Hearing the old woman's emotion, he interrupted and asked, "Is this how you live your life?"
"Fortunately, there are help from the neighbors, otherwise I would have starved to death." The old woman suddenly stopped, pointed to the kitchen, and said, "There should be some food there, you can go get some food for yourself.
"
Jiang Shan and Xi Peng looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
"We've already eaten on the way here!" Jiang Shan answered with a smile, suppressing his hunger.
The old woman smiled slightly, said no more, and went directly into the house.
When Jiang Shan and Xi Peng walked into the house, they discovered that the house was bare and looked very poor. There were tables and chairs scattered on the floor. It seemed that the old man's legs and feet were not flexible and his life was extremely difficult.
After seeing the expressions of Jiang Shan and Xi Peng, the old woman felt a little embarrassed and wanted to get up to clean up the house, but she did not stand up several times.
"Auntie, just sit down!" Xi Peng hurriedly walked over and held the old woman down, "We can just tidy up the house."
When Jiang Shan saw that Xi Peng had comforted the old man, he didn't say anything more and started to clean up the messy room.
After a while of burning incense, the whole room changed drastically. Although there was no decent furniture, it looked much more comfortable.
When the old woman saw Jiang Shan and Xi Peng, she couldn't help but think of her two sons. If they were here, she wouldn't have such a hard life... Thinking about it, the old woman couldn't help but shed tears.
Jiang Shan wiped the sweat from his forehead. When he saw the old woman wiping her tears, he went over and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"
The old woman shook her head slightly and said with a forced smile: "It's okay, I'm just happy! My house hasn't been so lively for a long time, I'm happy!"
Although the old woman deliberately concealed it, Jiang Shan still secretly guessed that it was probably because of the absence of his relatives that the old woman was emotionally disturbed.
Jiang Shan called Xi Peng aside and discussed with him in a low voice, "Why don't we stay in another hotel? The old man will be sad if we stay here."
"We don't do anything secretive. Aren't we different everywhere?" Xi Peng looked at the empty water tank and carried the bucket to fetch water.
Jiang Shan also took a bucket, informed the old woman, and then followed Xi Peng out.
"When Auntie sees us here, she will think of her two sons who were captured as young men. Didn't you think of this?" Jiang Shan shouted to Xi Peng as soon as he left the house.
After hearing Jiang Shan's scolding, Xi Peng rolled his eyes and felt that it was indeed the case. He put down the bucket and wanted to go back to the house to say goodbye to the old woman.
"Come back!" Jiang Shan pulled Xi Peng, "Now that you've come, let's make peace with you. We'll leave tomorrow."
"What a person you are!" Xi Peng came over and picked up the bucket. He felt that Jiang Shan was a bit verbose, but he was moved by his careful thoughts.
Soon, Jiang Shan and Xi Peng filled the water tank with water, and Xi Peng specially prepared some firewood in the kitchen. This time, Jiang Shan did not stop him, although he knew that given the old woman's condition, he would cook the food himself.
The possibility of rice failure is very small, which can be seen from the thick dust accumulated on the stove.
By the time the two of them finished doing this, the sky was gradually getting dark.
Jiang Shan asked the old woman again, asked for an oil lamp, helped the old woman to the bed, and then withdrew.
Just when Jiang Shan and Xi Peng were about to go to the West Room to rest, they suddenly heard the old woman talking to herself from her room: "Old man! Two children came to the house today, and they even helped me cook.
He did a lot of housework. Do you think this could be our son’s comrade-in-arms? My son has been away for more than a year. The villagers said he died outside, but I don’t believe it! The old man..."
Jiang Shan and Xi Peng couldn't listen anymore after hearing half of it.
"The thing about young men is so inhumane!" Xi Peng clenched his fists, looking a little angry.
Jiang Shan smiled, shook his head and said: "The people have suffered from years of war. Only by stopping the war can people regain peace!"
At this time, Xi Peng had already fallen on the bed, and a deafening sound of snoring could be heard within a few breaths...
