Zuo Jingyan has never been so superstitious as she is now. She feels that at least two of the things the Taoist said are correct.

If Lao Lu hadn't died and they had divorced, Lao Lu would have definitely married again. Wouldn't that mean getting married twice?

Lu Haoting was already the deputy battalion commander when he was only twenty-five years old. He might have been promoted to the main battalion without going on a mission this time. He was promoted to such a high position at a young age. As he grows older, he will continue to be promoted. When he becomes a senior

It's not impossible for officials.

But she didn't believe that she had three sons, and had already started family planning. If one of the couple was an only child, they were allowed to have a second child, but a third child was absolutely not allowed, and no one could do it.

Not to mention that the army is a disciplinary unit, so Lu Haoting would not be allowed to violate discipline and have three children.

Unless Lu Haoting is from an ethnic minority, ethnic minorities do not have restrictions on having multiple children, but it is impossible. She has checked the household registration and Lu Haoting is Han.

Zuo Jingyan thought wildly for a long time, and finally sighed and said to her sister-in-law:

"Go to sleep!"

"Can't sleep."

Xiaoyu cried and shook her head:

"How can I tell my mother and father about my second brother? They won't be able to bear it if they know it."

"Don't say it yet."

Zuo Jingyan made a decisive decision: "Wait a minute, let's wait a little longer!"

Lu Haoting held the bamboo pole with his hands and pumped water on both sides, so that the bamboo raft could be rowed toward the domestic direction. He had measured the wind direction in the morning and found that blowing in the domestic direction would save a lot of energy.

Zhang Tie was lying unconscious on the bamboo raft. Fearing that he would fall into the river, Lu Haoting tied him to the bamboo raft with two vines.

Three days ago, he and Zhang Tie fought side by side. Seeing a minefield in front of him and pursuers behind him, he decisively hid Zhang Tie in the bushes, climbed up the tallest and densest tree, hid among the leaves, and used the captured weapon to stop him.

The gun was aimed in the direction from which the pursuers were coming.

The pursuers were not in a hurry. They moved forward like chasing ducks, making a loud noise but walking very slowly. They knew there was a minefield here and wanted to drive Lu Haoting and Zhang Tie into the minefield.

Lu Haoting stared at the scope and waited for the enemy to get close to the shooting range before pulling the trigger. The enemy at the front instantly fell to the ground. The people around him were so frightened that they raised their guns and shot everywhere. Lu Haoting shot him in the head.

The pursuers ran forward in panic, and Lu Haoting calmly pulled the trigger one shot after another, as if he was practicing target on a shooting range.

The pursuers behind were frightened and yelled to retreat. Lu Haoting waited for these people to retreat, jumped down from the tree and lurked over, grabbed the body of the pursuer who was shot dead by him and returned to the minefield.

He threw the body from a distance and quickly fell down. He heard a violent explosion, thick smoke and fire. He waited for the explosion to stop, then picked up another body and threw it towards the hidden fuse. The explosion

The sound sounded again.

He returned to the tree and looked into the distance with a sniper scope. The remaining pursuers were excited when they heard the explosion and sent two people over to check.

Lu Haoting did not move them and let them go to the minefield to check. The two pursuers were afraid of being shot in the head, so they approached shrinkingly. After seeing the fragmented bodies that were blown up in the minefield, they screamed and went back to report:

"Dead, dead, blown up."

"withdraw."

The enemy leader waved his hand to the remaining people to leave. Lu Haoting did not take it lightly. He waited for an hour and was sure that the people would not come back before jumping down from the tree to find Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie was seriously injured. If he had waited to remove the bullet after returning, his life would have been lost.

Lu Haoting made a prompt decision, found a hiding place, poured the gunpowder from the bullet on the leaves, and collected a lot of Panax notoginseng and pounded it into a paste for later use.

He took out the bullet for Zhang Tie with a military dagger, sprinkled gunpowder on the wound, ignited it with fire to stop the bleeding, disinfected it, then put the pounded Panax notoginseng on it and bandaged it again. Zhang Tie woke up from a coma in pain, his whole body shaking and stiff.

He gritted his teeth and remained silent.

The bullet in Zhang Tie's leg was easy to remove, but the bullet in Zhang Tie's lower back was not. The bullet hit his spine. Although it was not deep, if he was hit in this position, he would basically be unable to stand up for the rest of his life.

Lu Haoting's eyes were red. As a soldier, he was not afraid of bloodshed or sacrifice, but he was afraid of not being able to stand up, hold a gun, or wear a military uniform. This was the cruelest thing. He silently applied medicine and bandage to Zhang Tie.

"Lao Lu, leave me alone and go back. Your wife is waiting for you at home. Help me take care of Zhuangzhuang. Don't let my stepfather bully him. Help me tell my parents that I can no longer fulfill my filial piety, but I didn't give them anything.

Shameful."

Zhang Tie grabbed Lu Haoting's hand and told him weakly, with tears falling heavily and he was choked and unable to speak.

"Don't talk nonsense, keep your strength."

Lu Haoting growled at him:

"I said I would take you home, but hold on, don't be a deserter."

Zhang Tie smiled sadly:

"Lao Lu, I'm jealous of you. You are better than me in everything. I want to surpass you. I want to surpass you crazily. This time, I surpassed you, right?"

Lu Haoting nodded with tears in his eyes:

"Well, you are very brave and surpass me."

"We can't go back. How can we go without a boat? Lao Lu, in fact, if you stay, you are prepared to sacrifice... right?"

Zhang Tie smiled, his eyes particularly bright:

"The lad from the Zhang family can lose games, but he is not a coward."

"No, you are a hero."

Lu Haoting smiled:

"None of us will die. If we don't have a boat, let's build our own boat."

In the next three days, Lu Haoting spent the next three days chopping tree trunks, chopping vines, twisting straw ropes, and collecting herbs. After finishing the compressed biscuits and cans he brought, he shot hares and pheasants and ate them raw. He had to change Zhang Tie's dressing and feed him every day.

Take medicine, and if he can't eat anything, feed him the blood of animals.

Fortunately, although Zhang Tie remained unconscious, he did not continue to deteriorate. Three days later, Lu Haoting used the collected materials to make a raft.

He had observed over the past three days that the enemy's patrol time had remained the same as the previous information. When the wind blew toward the country, he pushed the raft into the water and decisively took Zhang Tie home.

"They, they..."

The raft moved forward smoothly, but today's patrol time changed. The enemies who came to patrol discovered them and chased the raft with shouts and fired.

Lu Haoting dodged the bullets and paddled the raft quickly. Suddenly, a large stone protruded from the river in front of him. The raft was unable to dodge and hit it, spinning around and rushing into the rapids.

Zuo Jingyan had a very restless sleep that night. She suddenly woke up from a nightmare. She was sweating profusely and had her hands in her hair, thinking uneasily about the scenes in her dream.

"sister in law."

Xiaoyu was woken up and hurriedly sat up and looked at Zuo Jingyan. Her eyes were swollen from crying, her throat was hoarse from crying, and her throat hurt terribly when she spoke.

"It's okay. I had a dream. It's still early. Let's sleep a little longer."

Zuo Jingyan lay down again, but couldn't fall asleep!

No matter what, life has to go on. The barber shop is open as normal the next day, but obviously the business is not as good as the previous few days. After all, the price is much more expensive than ordinary barber shops, and not many customers can afford it.

Zuo Jingyan happened to be in a bad mood, and there was no one she could take a rest with. Qin Feng came in the evening, and both Zuo Jingyan and Xiao Yu looked at him expectantly:
Chapter completed!
