Chapter 113 Horse Leather Shroud

Zhou Shufen widened her eyes in disbelief.

Song Zhaodi quickly supported her.

Sister-in-law Duan couldn't stand it any longer: "Old Liu, what's going on? Finish it all at once!"

"Old Ma was seriously injured in order to save his soldiers." Master Liu blinked his eyes hard and took a deep breath, "He lost too much blood."

Song Zhaodi was stunned. He suddenly felt a heavy weight on his body, looked down, and quickly shouted, "Auntie, hurry up, hurry up and call a car, Zhou Shufen passed out."

"Old Liu!" Sister-in-law Duan roared loudly.

Master Liu suddenly got up and shouted, "Clerk, attendant, hurry up and drive!"

When the car drove over, Zhou Shufen woke up, and when she saw the person in front of her, she burst into tears.

Song Zhaodi hurriedly hugged her, letting Zhou Shufen's tears wet her cotton-padded coat. It wasn't until she heard Zhou Shufen's crying hiccups that she said, "Zhenxing and Zhengang are still waiting for you at home."

Zhou Shufen froze.

Song Zhaodi understood her very well. The person she admired most in her previous life died of illness. She almost died of crying, but she couldn't let her cry all the time. If she continued to cry like this, there would definitely be problems: "They don't know yet, I'll take you back."

"No need." Zhou Shufen stood up and staggered.

Sister-in-law Duan quickly supported her: "We will accompany you back, don't be stubborn."

Before it was time to get off work, Mr. Liu came back. Master Liu also said that Zhou Shufen could see the old horse today? Sister Duan felt that Ma Zhonghua was coming back soon. Master Liu came back early, probably to tell Zhou Shufen that Ma Zhonghua had sacrificed.

It's just that Zhou Shufen came over before she had a good idea of ​​what to say.

Around four o'clock, Mrs. Duan and Song Zhaodi accompanied Zhou Shufen home. As soon as the news of Ma Zhonghua's sacrifice was told to his two sons, Ma Zhonghua's guards came.

Seeing the guard, Zhou Shufen asked, "Is Lao Ma in the hospital? Is he in the military hospital? I'll go see him."

Song Zhaodi felt a sudden shock, Zhou Shufen still didn't want to believe that Ma Zhonghua had sacrificed?

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry!" The guard couldn't help lowering his head, "I didn't protect the regimental commander well."

"The commander is here to save us."

There were four people behind the guard, two nurses supporting two soldiers, one on crutches and the other with a bandage on his chest.

Song Zhaodi saw the scar on the guard's face and noticed the blood on the bandages of the other two, and tears came out all at once.

Song Zhaodi couldn't explain why. When Zhou Shufen was crying in her arms just now, Song Zhaodi felt uncomfortable, but she didn't have the urge to cry.

Sister Duan wiped her tears and sighed, "Where is Xiaoma now?"

"Port." The guard said, "The commander ordered me to pick up my sister-in-law and two nephews."

Song Zhaodi: "Let's go then." After speaking, she looked at Zhou Shufen.

Zhou Shufen couldn't help but "sobs" and nodded vigorously.

Song Zhaodi helped her into the car, watched the car go away, and closed the door before asking, "Auntie, is the relatives of Lao Ma near here?"

"I don't remember where Lao Ma's hometown is in the southwest. It's in a mountain nest anyway." Sister-in-law Duan said, "Xiao Zhou's parents' home is close to here, only three or four hundred roads."

Song Zhaodi: "Can you contact Dao's family?"

"I'll go back and ask Lao Liu." Sister Duan said, "It should be in Lao Ma's file." After a while, "Zhao Di, can you come over at night?"

Song Zhaodi didn't understand: "Where are you going?"

"Come here to accompany Xiao Zhou." Sister Duan said, "I'll come too, but Xiao Zhou has a good relationship with you..."

Song Zhaodi: "I know what Auntie means. I'll come over after I go back and talk to a few children."

"Oh, I'll go find Lao Liu now." Sister Duan said, "He should be at the port by now."

When Song Zhaodi returned home, Zhong Jianguo had already gone out, so he should be picking up the old horse.

The five children were sitting on the bench, their heads drooping, and they didn't know what they were thinking. Song Zhaodi went in for a while, but the children didn't find her.

Song Zhaodi coughed, "Are you asleep?"

"Mother?" Sanwa raised her head and ran towards Song Zhaodi, "What happened to Ma Zhenxing's father?"

Song Zhaodi looked at Dawa: "Your dad didn't say anything?"

"My dad said it." Da Wa said, "He doesn't believe it."

Song Zhaodi patted the little guy's head and sat down opposite the sons: "What your dad said is true. You are not allowed to find out and go crazy these days, you know?"

"We know." Dawa said, "Mother, I want to see Ma Zhenxing."

Song Zhaodi: "Let's go tomorrow. You steam some rice and warm up the noon dishes. I'll go to Ma's house to accompany you Aunt Zhou. I won't be back at night."

"Mother doesn't eat?" Dawa asked quickly.

Song Zhaodi: "It's okay to eat less." Feeling that his cotton shoes were wet, he went to the porch to change his shoes and said, "If your dad doesn't come back, you don't have to go out to look for it, just wash your face, wash your feet, and seal the stove. Go upstairs and sleep."

"Got it." Dawa said, "Mother, do you want to close the door?"

Song Zhaodi: "The door is locked from the inside. Your dad has a way to get in."

The big baby took her to the door, locked the door, and looked back to see Sun Wanru standing under the eaves looking over here, and she lowered her head as if she didn't see it.

When I got to the house and saw my brother and brother sitting on the bench, the big baby sighed: "I don't have enough vegetables, let's make some more. Do you want to eat shredded potatoes or cabbage?"

"Brother, Ma Zhenxing's father has sacrificed, do you still want to eat?" Erwa suddenly stood up and said loudly.

The big baby nodded: "I know. But I don't eat, so I won't have the energy to comfort Ma Zhenxing tomorrow."

"Stop cutting the potatoes, wash a cabbage and stew with the leftovers at noon." In fact, Zi Li was already hungry, and suddenly heard that Ma Zhonghua, who had called his brother five "bear children" a few days ago, had sacrificed himself. It is impossible, life is not so fragile.

When Song Zhaodi came back, he was sure again that Zhong Jianguo had not lied to them.

Self-reliance still does not want to believe.

Erwa criticized loudly. When the big baby talks about eating, her self-supporting stomach growls and she wakes up from her dream.

Stand up on his own: "Rebirth, come and make a fire."

"I'm making a fire." Sanwa ran to the kitchen and said as she ran, "My hands are cold, I want to make a fire."

Seeing this, Gengsheng sat back again, pulled Erwa to his side, and saw him pouting: "Are you still mad at Dawa?"

Erwa shook her head and nodded again.

Gengsheng didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

"I'm hungry too." Erwa said weakly, "I shouldn't be mad at Big Brother."

Gengsheng almost laughed at him: "Erwa, the big baby can eat because he knows that we can discuss what to eat here, because many heroes like Ma Zhenxing's father exchanged their blood. We Cherish it. When you are full and grow taller, it is up to us to guard the motherland and wait for our relatives.”

"But I don't want to be a soldier." Erwa frowned, "I like to make beautiful clothes."

Gengsheng patted his head: "You make us clothes, and we dress warmly so that we can better protect our family, father and mother."

"Okay!" Erwa nodded vigorously, "I will make a lot of clothes for you in the future."

Gengsheng smiled and said, "I believe it."

"Brother Gengsheng, you know a lot." Erwa admired, "It's obviously a little bit older than me."

Gengsheng: "I listened to my grandfather."

"Zhong Gengsheng, come here for me!"

Gengsheng turned his head and saw the big baby standing at the door of the kitchen pointing at him, "Why are you calling me?"

"I'm not only calling you, but also being self-reliant. You two will come here for me." Zhong Dawa put his hands on his hips. "You told me before that you don't have any relatives. What happened to Grandpa?"

Self-reliance can't help blinking: "Do you still remember?"

"Bullshit!" Dawa said, "Can I forget such a big thing? No! You two quickly tell what's going on."

Erwa also realized that something was wrong: "Brother Gengsheng, aren't you and Brother Zili orphans? Why do you still have a grandfather?"

"We're not orphans." Zi Li looked at Da Wa's angry face, and felt that he had to say it without saying anything today, "Keep your voice down, just in case the partition wall has ears."

The big baby pointed to the bench: "Sit down and talk slowly. No one can hear it in our living room."

"My grandfather had an accident and was locked up." Gengsheng said, "My father committed suicide, our uncle and aunt were sent to the countryside, and we didn't know where we were. No one took care of us, so my mother took us away. came back."

The big baby snorted: "It's really true from my mother. You dare to say it with all the loopholes. Do you think I'm still six or seven years old? Reborn, you shut up and say it independently."

Self-reliance: "Regenerate is telling the truth."

"Where's your mother?" Dawa asked, "Don't tell me your mother died too."

Geng Sheng sighed: "Not dead. As soon as my father died, she married someone else. Leave us both at home to fend for ourselves."

"Zhong Gengsheng, I didn't ask you to tell me." Dawa stared, "Don't try to make up stories to fool me."

Zi Li couldn't help but sigh: "Whether you believe it or not, what Gengsheng said is the truth."

"Your mother doesn't want you anymore?" Sanwa ran over and grabbed Gengsheng's arm, "Brother Gengsheng, why doesn't your mother want you?"

Gengsheng: "I want to know more than you." After a while, "I probably think I eat too much."

"Big brother eats more than you." Sanwa pointed at the big one, "Mother didn't even say she didn't want him."

The big baby suddenly wanted to hit someone: "Zhong Sanwa, don't interrupt."

"So my mother is not a mother." Gengsheng said.

Sanwa nodded: "It wasn't originally."

"I mean they are different." Gengsheng said, "Dad, I really didn't lie to you this time. My mother is in the imperial capital, not only married, but also gave birth to a daughter."

The big girl hurriedly asked, "How do you know?"

"Dad told us." Zili said, "We knew it for a long time. You still remember that one night we told you that we would call Daddy later, but you disagreed. We knew it at that time."

Da Wa suddenly remembered: "I think you have something to hide from me, and you still say no. I'll just say it, my intuition has never been wrong. Hmph, okay, you two have been hiding from me for so many years—"

"You lied to me too." Erwa said.

Sanwa said, "I don't know either."

"Don't interrupt!" Dawa glared at Erwa and Sanwa, "Kengsheng asked my mother if she had any news about your grandfather. If there is news about your grandfather, you and Zili are going back to your house?"
