Having said this, Unakan reacted belatedly, "Brother Wei, isn't he going to pick you up?"

"I don't know that"

Wei Ran said, bending down and getting into this low-looking, but extremely warm adobe house.

These three adobe houses are really not that big, but they are barely a semi-underground structure, so although they look low from the outside, they are not actually cramped inside.

At Unakan's signal, Wei Ran followed the mother and son through the main room filled with the aroma of stick stubble porridge, then passed through a cotton curtain and paper partition, and walked to the warmer east room.

"Quick! Take off your shoes and get on the kang to warm yourself up!"

As Unakan spoke, she had already put the child Yuhu in her arms on the edge of the kang. She also walked to the middle of the room, quickly opened the door of the brick earthen stove, and then picked up the shelf.

The kettle was on the stove and he poured a cup of hot water for Wei Ran.

"This is the gift I brought to you."

Wei Ran said, unfolding the bundle he had been carrying, taking out the gifts inside and placing them on the table.

"Brother Wei, what are you doing!" Unakan said hurriedly, "How do you bring..."

"For children"

Wei Ran changed the topic directly, walked to the car hanging under the beam of the room, bent down and looked at the little guy sleeping inside, and asked, "Is this your little daughter?"

“Not great”

Wu Nakan was stunned and stopped trying to evade. She didn't feel dissatisfied with Wei Ran's stupid question. Instead, she introduced her gently, "Her name is Shixia, Hu Shixia."

"This name is really nice," Wei Ran couldn't help but say.

"We don't have much education. The names of these two children were borrowed from them." Unakan smiled and sighed, "It's just a thought."

Wei Ran also smiled, he naturally knew who "they" Unakan was talking about.

"This is our son Yuhu"

Unakan hugged his slightly introverted son again and said, "This is Uncle Wei, please call someone."

"Wei Huhu"

Yuhu, who was only five or six years old and seemed to have a slight stutter, shouted timidly.

"Good boy"

Wei Ran smiled gently, took off the canvas satchel still hanging on his shoulder and handed it to the other party, "These candy bars are yours, take them and eat them!"

"Take it, there's no need to be polite to your Uncle Wei."

Unakan nodded with a smile, and then Hu Yuhu took the canvas satchel handed by Wei Ran with a smile.

"Brother Wei, what are you..."

Unakan hesitated for a moment, "Just came down from the front line?"

"Ah...right"

Wei Ran nodded, picked up the glass of water that was given to him and sat on the edge of the Kang. He grabbed a handful of Galaha from a small basket next to him and played with it in his hand. He said, "I stopped by to see you. You guys

How are you two doing?"

"Okay, you're fine."

Unakan sat on the chair beside the table, gently rocking the car and said, "Since the bandits were wiped out, the two of us have been divided into 16 acres of good land.

When we have free time, we go hunting in the woods, with two deer and one mule, and our days are getting better and better day by day."

"That's good..."

Wei Ran sighed, and after a moment of silence he asked carefully, "You two...are you still in contact with them?"

Hearing this, Unakan was silent for a moment before speaking, "No, for so many years, the life and death of shopkeeper Yang's family has been unknown. We even sneaked to Maozi's territory across the river to look for them, but we couldn't find them."

For a moment, the warm adobe house fell into silence again. It was so quiet that you could clearly hear the sound of the small wooden toys tied to the ropes colliding with each other when the car was shaking, and the sound of Hu Yuhu sucking the candy.

.

"Where's Yongwu?"

Wei Ran asked again, "Do you have any news about Yongwu?"

Unfortunately, Unakan shook his head again, "Since the Japanese surrendered, we and I have never seen him again. We don't know where he went, and we don't know... we don't know if he is still alive.

"

As we talked about this despairing topic, a crisp crack of a whip came from outside the paper window.

"He's back!"

Upon hearing this, Unakan immediately stood up and trotted out with the little guy Hu Yuhu. He also said loudly, "Old Hu, guess who is here?"

"Is there a guest at home?" Hu Bazhi's voice also came from outside.

However, before Wei Ran, who also stood up, could walk out of the warm east room, he heard another man's voice coming from outside.

"Brother Hu, how about I wait outside?"

When this sentence reached Wei Ran's ears, he felt his heart beat faster. He had already heard who this person was!

Why is he here?

While thinking about this problem, Wei Ran had already lifted up the cotton curtain and followed him out of the east room. He looked at Hu Bazhi, who had just stepped into the main room with a cold air, and behind him, he was holding a

Li Sui'an is carrying a long cloth roll on his back!

"Brother Wei!"

After a brief moment of confusion, both Hu Bazhi and Li Sui'an recognized Wei Ran, who was looking at them blankly!

"Wangchuan, brother Hu." Wei Ran suppressed his excitement and greeted them.

"It's really Brother Wei! Are you still alive?!"

Hu Bazhi walked over excitedly, looking Wei Ran up and down, kneading his arms and shoulders, and even patted his thighs, knowing that he was completely alive, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

.

But Wei Ran stared blankly at Li Sui'an, looking at the empty sleeve of his right hand swinging freely as he walked.

"you..."

Wei Ran subconsciously took a few steps forward, reached out and grabbed Li Sui'an's right sleeve and touched it all the way up, but until he touched his shoulder, he still didn't touch his arm!

"fine"

Li Sui'an smiled peacefully, but had no intention of explaining.

"Hurry! Hurry! Come in and get on the kang to warm yourself up!" Hu Bazhi greeted him timely.

Hearing this, Wei Ran also reacted and quickly greeted Li Sui'an and walked into the east room together.

"You three brothers get on the kang and chat while drinking."

As Unakan spoke, he had already brought a kang table and placed it at the head of the kang. Then he brought a pot of pork stewed with vermicelli, a large bowl of pork skin jelly, a plate of fried peanuts, and a plate of green onions.

Tofu, plus a plate of cut salted duck eggs, a plate of stewed fish, and a porcelain pot of sorghum wine that had been heated in advance.

"Come! Let's have a drink first!"

Hu Ba pointed out that he had already picked up the porcelain pot and filled the four wine bowls, and said loudly, "Daughter-in-law, you should also sit down and drink together. Brother Wei and Brother Li are not outsiders!"

"Then I'll drink with you!"

Unakan was still the crisp Oroqen girl. Before she finished speaking, she picked up the porcelain bowl, clinked it with everyone, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"Brother Wei, how did you find our knot?" Hu Bazhi put down the wine bowl and asked curiously, "Also, are you going to Chaomo to fight the American Japanese?"

"yes..."

Wei Ran allowed the little guy Yuhu to help him fill the wine bowl, "I asked a lot of people to find you, and I just had time, so I came over to take a look, but Wangchuan..."

"Brother Wei, the Japanese have been beaten away, New China has stood up, please tell me to be safe."

Li Sui'an took the initiative to touch Wei Ran with the wine bowl that was also filled by Yuhu, and said with a smile, "I went back to Sichuan after the Japanese surrendered. I had a boy last year, and now his name is Li Wangchuan. For this name

Son, my mother-in-law and I had a quarrel."

"That girl from the Ma family, Ma Qinghe?" Wei Ran asked subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, when this question was asked, Li Sui'an's expression froze for a moment. Then he drank all the wine in the bowl, lowered his head and patted his thigh. After a moment of silence, he said, "She is not alive."

He came down and sacrificed himself. In the spring of 1945, he died... Alas!"

“Take a sip”

In the end, Wei Ran could only pick up the porcelain pot himself and help Li Sui'an refill the wine bowl.

Bringing everyone back to the silence of the pain of war, the four coarse porcelain wine bowls collided together again. This bowl of wine is for those who did not survive.

"Where's Xiaobai? Bai Yuguang"

Wei Ran asked almost cautiously, "He...did he survive?"

"No"
