Chapter 6 Leaving Huarong on the Wedding Night

  Follow me to read WEN XUE LOU ?? Remember! !!!!! The sky above the garden of Jianghan City is a bright blue, and behind Wu Baichuan's house is a dense forest of Chinese fir trees. At this moment, the brilliant sunlight is shining through the gaps in the dense forest, forming thick and thin beams of light that illuminate the misty veil on the roof, making it transparent.

  Dulong picked up the towel again and wiped the box gun repeatedly, regardless of his hands.

  Wu Baiqiang saw how much he loved guns and smiled, asking: "How about it? Want to get one to play with too?"

  Dulun smiled and nodded slightly, but didn't answer.

  At that time, he had just been married for a few months and was in the honeymoon period. The young couple were deeply in love, inseparable, how could they bear to part with each other?

  The autumn of Jianghan Garden City is beautiful, with high sky and refreshing air, floating clouds drifting away. Under the blue sky, the reeds on the Jianghan Plain have turned yellow, and the fragrance of the reed flowers is wafting through the air. The Han River water is clear to the bottom, green and blue.

  Although Du Long did not respond, Wu Lao Er's son Wu Baiqiang remembered it in his heart. Before leaving, he insisted that Du Long follow him to join the army. The young people in the same city were curious about Wu Baiqiang's dress and demeanor, and many people sought after him. Du Long was unwilling to miss this opportunity, so he immediately bid farewell to his loving wife and entered the Nationalist Army camp.

  Thus, Dulon was taken away by Wu Laoer's son Wu Baichang to become a soldier and joined the National Army, leaving for more than two years.

  A horse must be ridden, a man must make his way, and raw iron cannot become steel without being tempered. Dulong proved to be good material for the army, living up to Wu Baisheng's expectations, and after arriving at the troops, he studied hard and practiced diligently, learning many military skills in two years.

  Jiang City is a metropolis and the provincial capital, along with Jiangbei City and Jianghan City, all located on the same line of the Yangtze River. At this moment, the city of Jiang was quiet in the early morning. When the first ray of sunlight pierced through the thin fog, the city welcomed a warm morning.

  At this time, the first domestic revolutionary war (Northern Expedition) had just ended. The right-wing of the Kuomintang led by Chiang Kai-shek colluded with imperialism and the Chinese bourgeoisie to intensify counter-revolutionary activities. In April 1927, Chiang Kai-shek openly launched the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup. The Wuhan government led by Wang Jingwei also intensified its anti-revolutionary activities, and soon carried out a large-scale massacre of Communists and revolutionary masses, forcing the Communist Party organization to go underground.

  Nowadays, wars are rare, and troops only train. Du Long has practiced a good martial art, hand-to-hand combat, left and right strikes, front attack and back defense, bayonet fighting. All live ammunition shooting is 100% accurate. In an army-wide martial arts competition, he won the first prize, and since then, he has gained a reputation as "Divine Gun Du Long".

  At this moment, sunlight filtered through layers of leaves, dripping onto people and turning into a faint, round, gentle halo.

  Shen Qiang Dulun, although familiar with Captain Wu Baichang, did not fawn on him, but relied on his own true skills. Dulun's rise to fame earned the appreciation of Captain Wu Baichang, and he was eventually promoted from soldier to squad leader, platoon leader, and within a year became the company commander of over 100 men.

  It's been over two years since I left home, and the lone dragon, He Zeng, who is separated from his new wife, can't help but think of home whenever night falls. His wife appears in front of him, and he misses her even more than his own younger brother, whom he raised with his own hands - how could he not miss him?

  Although Jiangcheng City is only a few hundred miles away from Garden Jianghan City, it's not considered far by today's standards. There's a direct road connecting the two cities, and if you get up early in the morning to travel from Jiangcheng City to Jianghan City, everything will be bathed in soft morning light. The willow trees along both sides of the road will lower their heads, gently accepting the morning dew. However, during that era when transportation was not convenient, it's easy to imagine how difficult it would be to cover several hundred miles on foot. Moreover, soldiers have military discipline, and a soldier's duty is to obey orders. All the warriors were young people, who wouldn't miss their homes? Without approval from superiors, who dared to leave the troops privately? If caught and brought back, they would face military punishment, possibly even beheading.

  The sun shines on my face, shines on the training ground beside me, dew drops sparkle, cool breeze strokes by, sometimes with a hint of sweet fragrance, what a beautiful morning!

  "Reporting to Captain Wu, I'd like to request a leave to visit my family back home. Even if it's just a glance, I'll rush back immediately! After all, it's been over two years since I've left home."

  However, Captain Wu Baiqiang refused to approve it. His response disappointed Du Long, "I'm not like you, I've been away from home for over two years too. When we have time, we'll go back together."

  "Let's go back together," Du Long thought to himself that it would be great. He immediately asked, "When will you have time?"

  "I'll let you know when the time comes," said Wu Baichang, but it was just an excuse. What he had said earlier had long been cast aside. How could Du Long wait left and right?

  Wu Baichang won't go back, he secretly has a wife and if he wants to go back, he needs his wife's consent.

  "A hero has a hard time passing the beauty pass" Wu Baichuan is the captain, but in front of all the soldiers, he is a hero. In Jiang City, among ordinary people, he shows off his power and is more fierce than a tiger. Who doesn't fear him?

  But then he saw his wife, who was more obedient than a rabbit. It's really one thing after another, haha! She can tame him.

  Wu Baichang returned to his wife, as timid as a mouse seeing a cat. He didn't even dare speak loudly. His wife was educated and a student at Jiang City Women's School. She was young and beautiful, the acknowledged school belle of her entire school. She couldn't bear to part with him, requiring his company every day, entwining Wu Baichang so that he lost all desire to return home for a visit.

  This is a bright and refreshing evening, with small clouds drifting in the light blue sky, creating tiny white waves. Dew drops are scattered on the grass stems and leaves, and spider webs are covered with dew, shining like silver.

  After getting the words from Captain Wu Baichang, Shen Qiang Dulun couldn't hold back his desire to return home. He waited left and right but didn't see any response from the captain. As a result, he was depressed every day and often drank wine to drown his sorrows.

  That night, Wu Team Leader went to the division headquarters for a meeting. Shen Qiang Dulon was bored and invited several fellow officers to drink together, with the intention of relaxing and speaking their minds.

  At this time, the city of Jiang was asleep, and the whole military camp was in silence. Except for the gentle breeze blowing, occasionally one or two barks of dogs, the deserted military camp was quiet and soundless.

  "Alas," Du Long raised his wine cup and sighed, "Ben Lianchang has been wanting to go home for a long time."

  These good officers and Du Long are quite familiar with each other, and they also have a better understanding of his family situation. They often joke around together, all young bachelors who are bored and gather together to have fun.

  A humorous and crooked military officer raised his glass to toast Du Long, jokingly saying, "Are you going back home to see your newlywed wife? You've been away for over two years without taking care of her, can she tolerate that? Moreover, General Du is so at ease?"

  At this time, the autumn night of Jiang City was dark and gloomy, looking very frightening, as if endless layers of heavy ink had been applied to the sky, not even a glimmer of starlight could be seen.

  "How can I not worry," a short officer picked up the conversation, walking over with a wine glass in hand, it was unclear whether he was drunk or intentionally joking, "Commander Du has a younger brother at home, and it's his brother who is keeping an eye on him!"

  "Haha! Little brother is looking," another fat officer asked with a tilted head, "what the hell are you talking about, how do you see it?"

  "Right!" The short officer nodded his head and actually analyzed the situation of the Dulong family, "They have a thatched cottage with one bed. His wife sleeps on the bed, so where does his brother sleep?"

  "Yes," the fat officer asked Du Long again, "where does your brother sleep, Commander Du?"

  The solitary dragon was speechless, and in his heart he thought, "Yes, where is my little brother sleeping?"

  "Will she sleep until her sister's feet?" thought the short officer.

  "Ah," said the crooked-mouthed officer with a smile, "do you need to worry about such things? It's not uncommon for brothers and sisters-in-law to sleep together..."

  At this time, the city of Jiang was quiet and still at night, with all things on earth entering a dreamland, leaving behind those who were engaged in improper activities.

  "Ah, ah, as long as brother doesn't mind," another officer with a big mouth also said with a smile: "This kind of thing is nothing, originally sister-in-law's butt has half of younger brother's."

  "Haha……" The generals present burst into a fit of laughter. However, Du Long's face turned red with rage.

  The officers were just joking, but the speaker was unintentional and the listener had a mind. Du Long's heart immediately rose with doubts, "Yes, where does my brother live? Is it really like what they said..."

  At this moment, the moonlight remains unchanged, but people will change. She is no longer the protagonist of Mid-Autumn Festival, but I hope we all know that this is the price behind prosperity.

  "Love is selfish, not allowing a single grain of sand to be mixed in. Dying for love can disregard everything." Their joke became a heart disease that Du Long couldn't calm down about. His younger brother was raised by him, and he treated his younger brother better than himself without any second thoughts. Could it be... that he forgot the kindness and did something that would bring shame to their family? That would make his younger brother worse than a beast.

  And then I thought of my virtuous wife. We were so loving as husband and wife, but you betrayed your husband after only two years away from home, and transferred your affections to someone else. Are you still human?

  No, people can change, some for the better, some for the worse... nothing remains constant. At this moment, Du Long became more and more enraged, a flame of anger burst out from his chest, he suppressed his anger, his teeth clenched with a cracking sound, his eyes flashed with an uncontrollable fury, like a male lion provoked. An uncontrollable thought surged up, "Go back! Go back immediately to investigate, love is selfish, can't let even a grain of sand get in the way, if it's true, I must take care..."

  At this time, the night is so enchanting, with one by one blue and mysterious little stars twinkling in the sky, so far away from us.

  Dulong didn't wait for everyone to disperse, and he made an excuse to leave. The wine continued to muddle his mind, the more he thought about it, the angrier and more worried he became, until he finally made a bold decision, "Go home, go home immediately..."
