Chapter 020: Encountering bandits and robbery (Thank you! Additional updates!)

The Yangtze River surface was still a little cold in early November. Not to mention that there was a gust of cold wind on the surface of the river! The two benefits were OK. In October, cotton coats were already distributed. Lying on the deck, even if they were covered with a quilt, it was still a little chill!

After sleeping for a while, Yu Zecheng slowly moved the quilt to Wu Kuiyuan. The two of them squeezed together and warmed up a little.

Wu Kuiyuan took the opportunity to put his hand into Yu Zecheng's quilt and hold his hand.

Yu Zecheng knew that she was a little cold and thoughtfully placed her hands on the heart in her cotton coat.

Wu Kuiyuan looked at Yu Zecheng and closed his eyes! This reminded her of her mother! When she was a child, every time when her little hands were a little cold, her mother would put her hand on her mother's chest. Now not only did the little hands feel a warmth, but also a warm current was transmitted from her arms to her whole body. She closed her eyes to enjoy this feeling of happiness with all her heart!

Wu Yimei couldn't bear to see it anymore. She turned around and went back to back with Wu Kuiyuan. There was a gap behind them. Yu Zecheng was worried that it would make them catch a cold, so he picked up a scarf and stuffed it on their backs.

Yu Zecheng obviously felt Wu Kuiyuan's hand pinch hard. Yu Zecheng knew that she was a little moved by her considerate. If she was in bed, she would have to ask for that!

Unfortunately, Wu Kuiyuan did not graduate from Telecom, otherwise they could also flirt with Morse Code.

The young people were sleepy and even though they were very cold, they fell asleep quickly.

The next morning, the small steamer arrived at the dock in Anqing. The dock was a place that was easily attacked by Japanese airplanes and could not stay for a long time. They quickly got off the boat and passed through the dock quickly.

Their march was to go northwest, to Gaohe, then to Huaining, Qianshan, Taihu and other counties, then to Huangmei County, Hubei Province, and then to Wuhan. This road was all highways. It was not difficult to walk, and it was not easy to get lost.

Although it was in the rear, Captain Chen still asked them to advance in combat formation. The captain carried the formal rifle with a rasp in his waist and took two male comrades to be vanguards in front. The others set a distance between each other after more than 100 meters.

Wu Kuiyuan and Wu Yimei were famous gunmen, so they protected Yu Zeyuan from behind.

In fact, Yu Zecheng's shooting skills are pretty good! Now a big and thick man needs two women to protect him. Yu Zecheng is a little ashamed. However, with his fiancée and beautiful woman Wu Yimei, he is happy to see him.

After the march was in the afternoon, everyone was a little tired.

Yu Zecheng felt a little distressed when he saw Wu Kuiyuan holding a gun and carrying a big backpack, and said, "Kuiyuan, I'll carry a backpack for you!"

Because they were migrating for a long distance, they also had many of their own clothes and other supplies in their backpacks. The weight was much heavier than ordinary backpacks. The people in the operation team were different from the field troops and they had to prepare one or two sets of clothes for ordinary people. Therefore, Yu Zechengcai bought clothes for Wu Kuiyuan and Wu Yimei in Nanjing.

Wu Kuiyuan has a strong personality, and it may be because he feels sorry for Yu Zecheng. She said: "I'm not tired!"

Wu Yimei immediately walked up the pole and said, "Yu Zecheng, I'm tired, please help me carry it!"

Yu Zecheng just saw Wu Yimei still energetic! He looked at her again and immediately became unhappy. He stepped forward and took her backpack and hung it on his chest.

Wu Kuiyuan was unhappy, but Wu Yimei was her best friend, so she couldn't stop her. She said unforgivingly: "You two can't have already hooked up and become annihilated, right?"

Even if it involves her, Yu Zecheng must not interrupt! He took a step forward and prevented them from seeing his face that he couldn't help but laugh.

Wu Yimei said slowly: "Kuiyuan, no matter how far I and I are, it will not affect your eldest sister's status!"

When Wu Kuiyuan heard this, a smile appeared on her face! She said half-truely: "Anyway, there is one thing, one of you is my fiancé and the other is my best friend. What's going to happen between you must tell me before it happens! If you hide me from it, hum..."

Wu Yimei is much more open now. Maybe she took the opportunity to express her thoughts half-truely. She said: "Zecheng, you see, my elder sister has said this. Why don't you say anything at all?"

Yu Zecheng thoughtfully said, "It's weird if I want to tell you! First, I don't want to eat your fish; even though your fish is very charming! I have seen countless people in later generations. There is still this resistance. Second, I don't want to make you slut. Even Wu Kuiyuan said it personally, it won't work! Who knows what she thought? Who knows whether she will regret it afterwards?"

However, it was very common in society at that time that, including their fathers, they all took concubines! Women are more likely to accept for husbands than women in later generations.

The Anqing Gaohe area is densely populated. It is easy to find a fellow villager to stay at night!

Along the way, there were many people fleeing! Most of them were ordinary families, walking with their families with their families and struggling on the road. There were also families such as landlords and squires. These families all carried carriages and servants with guns!

The journey was relatively smooth. A few days later, they arrived near the junction of Anhui Province and Hubei Province.

"Ba...ba!" Suddenly, gunshots appeared in front!

Everyone flashed to both sides of the road in a reflexive manner!

Yu Zecheng and Wu Kuiyuan flashed to the left of the road, and Wu Yimei was on the right.

Wu Kuiyuan said: "Zecheng, don't be afraid! I'm there!"

Grandma! What am I afraid of here? It’s not facing the Japanese! It’s just a few bandits! Besides, you two sharpshooters are protecting it. Yu Zecheng said: “I’m not afraid! Otherwise, you can carry your backpack, so that you can fight more easily!”

This time, Wu Kuiyuan did not refuse. Because she saw Yu Zecheng carrying Wu Yimei's backpack for several hours last time, but she didn't respond. She quickly took off her backpack.

Yu Zecheng took the backpack and hung it on his chest! He shouted to Wu Yimei: "Yimei, put down the backpack and I will go over and carry it right away!"

Wu Yimei glanced at Wu Kuiyuan. Seeing that Wu Kuiyuan had no objection, she glanced at Yu Zecheng with Qiu Bo's eyes, and then put down her backpack.

A few more gunshots sounded in front of them!

Captain Chen shouted: "No big problem! It is likely that the bandits robbers. Let's go and have a look!"

Everyone rushed forward with guns.

Yu Zecheng used to slapped Wu Yimei's backpack on his left shoulder, and chased forward with a stroking hand in his right hand.

Sure enough, it was the bandits who were robbing the passing landlord! The landlord also had more than a dozen guards, and everyone had guns. Both sides were shooting at each other without guns! Because the distance was more than 150 meters, there were very few casualties on both sides!

Captain Chen had a little sense of justice and went forward and shouted: "Listen to the bandits on the mountain! Stop robbing people on the road immediately! Otherwise, our army will wipe out you completely!"
