Chapter 274 Past
Ning Yuan walked up to the man and looked at him calmly.
"Let's go, I'm thirsty too!"
Minister Zhang looked at Ning Yuan and nodded.
"Come with me!"
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the yard.
Zhong Yuemin, Fatty Fan and the others were still thinking about setting off to catch up.
But Minister Zhang's men immediately pointed their guns at them.
Ning Yuan heard the noise behind him and gestured to Zhong Yuemin and the others to leave. He comforted these buddies and then followed Minister Zhang into the yard without looking back.
The Armed Forces Department's compound is not really small. After all, these militiamen still need to train here. If the place is too small, they will definitely not be able to move around.
I followed Minister Zhang all the way to the backyard and into an office, only then did I stop.
Minister Zhang sat down on the wooden chair behind the desk with familiarity and pointed to the chair in front of Ning Yuan.
"Sit down, boy. Let me pour you some tea!"
Ning Yuan looked around his rather simple office, and without any hesitation, he pulled a chair and sat down.
Minister Zhang pushed a cup of tea in front of Ning Yuan and asked, staring at Ning Yuan.
"Is your child's name Ning Yuan?"
When Ning Yuan heard this, he felt as if a stone had fallen from his heart.
Then he nodded pretending to be calm, and then asked with a curious expression.
"How do you know my name is Ning Yuan!"
Minister Zhang originally had a hopeful look on his face, but after hearing Ning Yuan's direct admission, his expression instantly turned into one of overjoyed joy.
"How would I know? I know too well. You look just like me, a dead ringer!"
"Not only do I know your name is Ning Yuan, I also know your name is Ning Wanli!"
Ning Yuan thought to himself that this was indeed the case, but he still pretended to be very excited. He stood up and stared blankly at Minister Zhang behind the table.
"You, you are? You, you know my dad?"
"How could I not know you? I followed you to fight the Japanese in 42. Later, when we entered the Dabie Mountains, you were shot in the leg. It was you and a few of my comrades who carried you on our backs for a month on the mountain roads!"
Minister Zhang excitedly recalled the past. Those years were difficult but also full of passion!
"So, Uncle Zhang, you saved my father's life? Uncle Zhang, I just didn't know what was good for me and fought with you! I, I!"
Ning Yuan knew that his father had also been to Dabie Mountains, but he had never really known about this historical episode.
That’s right, his father Ning Wanli’s stubborn temper is almost the same as the prototype of Old Li from the brigade next to them!
No wonder both of them ended up like that!
Today was the first time he learned about his father's past.
Ning Yuan naturally had respect for Minister Zhang, who had actually beaten the Japanese beasts, which was why he expressed such regretful words.
"Hey, you don't look like yourself at all! Good young man! I was just trying to test your skills, don't be embarrassed!"
Minister Zhang waved his hand and said with a nonchalant smile.
"When you were your age, you were already the commander of the brigade's security battalion. I know that. You can't lose face for me!"
Ning Yuan felt a little embarrassed, and after a few polite words, the two of them inevitably talked about the recent situation of his father Ning Wanli!
After listening to Ning Yuan's brief speech, Minister Zhang also sighed heavily.
"I know your temper! He won't bow his head, let alone those people. I remember when we were fighting against the mopping-up operation, you dared to lead us and forcibly carry the old political commissar away!"
Ning Yuan was also shocked when he heard what Minister Zhang said. How could he not know who the old political commissar Minister Zhang was talking about?
I really didn't expect that my father actually has such qualifications!
This is no worse than the qualifications of the brigade commander next door who has a bald head!
Ning Yuan's thoughts were so scattered that he couldn't even control them. It was only when Minister Zhang spoke again that he was pulled back.
"But, I believe you will come out fine, don't worry!"
"Well, Uncle Zhang, my dad and his men are upright and have nothing to fear. They will definitely be fine!"
Ning Yuan nodded in agreement and echoed.
After the two of them expressed their feelings for a while, they finally got back to the main topic!
"How did these kids like you offend Yang Gudi and the others?"
Minister Zhang was also a little puzzled by what happened today. He couldn't understand why some educated youth would dare to attack people like Yang Gudi.
But after seeing that it was Ning Yuan, I understood a little bit. It was reasonable for him to be the son of a general!
"Uncle Zhang, do you believe me or not?"
When Ning Yuan mentioned these people, his anger was rekindled.
"How can I not believe it?"
Minister Zhang spoke to Ning Yuan with a serious expression.
"These people actually threw us into the station to spend the night! You must know what the conditions are like there. Do they live up to the promises made by their unit?"
Ning Yuan had just finished saying this.
"boom!!"
Minister Zhang slammed the table hard and stood up angrily.
"What the hell! I heard that several of the two groups that came over earlier disappeared right after they arrived! It turns out that it was that bastard who did that!!"
When Ning Yuan heard this, he became even angrier. These people were really in a difficult situation. They couldn't be accommodated in the city or in the village.
That's how it is, and they are treated like this by the people who are supposed to help them integrate into the local community.
"I wish I could just kill them all!"
"Damn it! How dare he do this just for the little bit of rations he was given! Damn it, damn it!"
Minister Zhang was also a man of blood. He was instantly furious at what Yang Gudi and the others did. Ning Yuan said such taboo words in front of him, but he didn't even say anything to persuade Ning Yuan.
Instead, I got so excited that I wanted to pull out my gun and kill them.
It was only when Ning Yuan saw that Minister Zhang was really about to pull out his gun that he quickly stepped forward and held him down.
"Uncle Zhang, don't be impulsive. He's still wearing that skin. It's true that you are in charge of the armed forces, but if you really touch him, what will be the consequences for you?"
Zhang Desheng was held down by Ning Yuan, and after hearing what he said, he gradually calmed down.
"I really can't stand it anymore! So, what should I do? If I don't deal with that bastard, I'll be letting down those kids who came before me!"
Zhang Desheng clenched his fist and pounded the table hard.
"Uncle Zhang, I've already called Sijiu City. If you're here, I'll be more confident in dealing with this idiot!"
Ning Yuan comforted Zhang Desheng and then spoke quickly.
"Okay, if you need any help from me, just tell me, I won't refuse!"
Zhang Desheng looked at Ning Yuan seriously.
"Then take these militiamen under your command and take us to the Educated Youth Office!"
Ning Yuan replied with a sinister smile.
