Lu Guolong panicked. He didn’t know Chu Yunsheng, nor did he know why Chu Yunsheng wanted him to get in the car. Like the rest of the people, he also mistakenly thought that he had broken some law that he did not know. And when he heard the officer asking him for his immediate family members, it made him feel like the officer was going to execute him.

Anxiously, he knelt before Chu Yunsheng and begged, “officer, you must have got the wrong guy, I did not do anything bad. I really haven’t done anything bad. All I did was to accuse old Li and Granary Master w.a.n.g of stealing our country’s food, but that was just a joke. Please don’t take it seriously. I will apologize to them. I will kowtow to them.”

Chu Yunsheng didn’t expect that he would be such a coward. But then again, when he tried to raid the granary with other people outside the pseudo-monolith, this man also surrendered himself without even attempting to resist. After a short daze, he immediately said sharply, “who said that you have done something wrong? Get up! Remember, from now on, you are Chu Yunsheng’s man, and my man will never kneel before other people! ”

Lu Guolong apparently did not hear what Chu Yunsheng said. While in a state of panic, he suddenly saw the deputy village chief appearing in the crowd, so he immediately shouted to him as if he could save his life, “Chief Sun! Chief Sun! Please help me to explain to the officer. I really have not done any bad things!”

Originally, Chief Sun just wanted to come and see what happened. In the current tense situation, he did not dare to vouch for Lu Guolong at all, but he still did not expect that he would be spotted by Lu Guolong immediately. Helplessly, he could only step out. Although he did not plan to vouch for Lu Guolong, as the deputy village chief, he still needed to find out what was going on. Otherwise, people would use this against him in the future.

Moreover, the nosy people in the crowd have already created a path for him, so he also had no other choice but to walk forward and said in a flattering tone, “h.e.l.lo, Comrade, I am the deputy village chief of Mawei Village. Lu Guolong is a villager in our village. Could you tell me what mistake he made? Is it possible that it is a misunderstanding?”

Seeing that it was a local official, Chu Yunsheng also didn’t plan to take people away by force. He simply took out the doc.u.ment that the people in Shanghai gave him, pa.s.sed it to the local official, and said, “he did not do anything wrong. On behalf of the first regiment of the ninth armored division, I am conscripting Lu Guolong into the army. He is required to report to Nanjing immediately. The rest is a military secret. Any other questions?”

Hearing that it was some kind of armored division, and it was a military secret, Chief Sun did not dare to look at the doc.u.ment at all. He immediately nodded his head obediently and said, “We will cooperate fully, cooperate fully!”

Lu Guolong also could not believe what he had heard. He did not even graduate from secondary school, why would an armored division want to enlist him?

“You, follow me first. If you have other relatives in the family, you can let them go to Nanjing by themselves. I will send someone to help them once they get to the city. Okay, that’s enough talk. We need to go now.” As soon as he finished, he turned around and walked back to the military vehicle.

Seeing that Chu Yunsheng did not intend to take revenge for Lu Guolong, Biao Zi and his mother were secretly relieved, but fearing that Lu Guolong would hate them in the future, they quickly approached Lu Guolong and wanted to apologize to him.

However, how on earth would Lu Guolong care about their apology now? After hearing that he was recruited by the military, his mind was filled with joy and excitement. However, just when he told the skinny that he needed to go home to pack up his stuff, he was stopped by the skinny man, “pack up my a.s.s! What do you have that the military does not have?”

Luo Guolong thought for a second and realized that the skinny man was right. After all, there weren’t many things at his house.

But when he just headed toward the car, a woman suddenly ran out of the crowd and shouted to him, “Lu Guolong, didn’t you say you want to marry me this morning?”

Lu Guolong was tempted, but then he suddenly thought that, in the military vehicle, the military officer, whose name was Chu Yunsheng, was probably staring at him coldly. Thinking of this, he could not help but s.h.i.+ver, and then quickly speeded up and ran toward the military vehicle.

Chu Yunsheng waited for him to sit down and then immediately started the car. But when they drove past the skinny man, what Lu Guolong did next almost made him puke blood. As if Lu Guolong suddenly remembered something, he reached his head outside the car’s window and shouted to the skinny man, “Lao San, please help me to feed my pigs!”

Chu Yunsheng didn’t get any grain from the granary he wanted to go to. Because he was late. When he came here, he found that many trucks had already started to transport grains from that grain.

Unlike the past, the government was now taking actions in advance, and there was a lot of manpower and material resources that could be used to transport grain from various Grain Depots. In fact, it was also a part of his own fault. Because it was him, who got the military involved.

Anway, Song Ying, and Yu Xiaohai had already gathered some grains in Shanghai, so the food problem was not that big. It was just that he could not store food for himself.

Along the way, Lu Guolong was very quiet. He didn’t know what to say to Chu Yunsheng, and he was also afraid that if he said something wrong, he would be sent back to his village again.
