Chapter 1693 1694 A Letter from Home is Worth a Thousand Gold

"Is there anyone from Hot Wind Port? Their registered permanent residence is in Hot Wind Port!" A Tang Dynasty officer walked past the group of elf captives who were working, and kept asking loudly.

No one answered his question, because no one knew what the answer would lead to. Maybe the other party had just suffered a great loss in Hot Wind Port, and was planning to kill a few unlucky people in Hot Wind Port to avenge himself.

In fact, many people knew that the Tang Kingdom had occupied Hotwind Port, but if the Tang army was ambushed by civilians in Hotwind Port and many people died...this kind of thing is not completely impossible to happen.

So everyone kept their mouths shut, thinking that less trouble is worse than more trouble. Anyway, not admitting it and not making trouble is a good habit for prisoners to save their lives.

"No one? We have opened up the transportation line to Hot Wind Port, so we plan to let you take some letters back to your families to let them know you are safe! It's not a bad thing! Let me ask again, is there anyone whose family is from Hot Wind Port?" The Tang officer explained a few words impatiently.

He was telling the truth. In fact, the public security in Hotwind Harbor was very good, and not many elves chose to fight to the death. After all, the Tang Dynasty Group had a mass base here, and many people still remembered the prosperity and stability that the Tang Dynasty Group brought here ten years ago.

Tiger also hopes to use this method to gather the hearts of the people of Hot Wind Port more quickly, so that the 1st Army under his command can obtain more and more stable supplies with the help of the port.

Marvin stood in the crowd and really wanted to raise his hand to say that he was from Hotwind Port, but before he could open his mouth, another elf captive held his wrist.

The other party shook his head quietly and said in a low voice: "Don't listen to their nonsense. There is no such good thing as a chance to write letters to prisoners of war... Maybe it's some conspiracy. Let's wait and see."

What he said made sense, and Marvin was a little shaken. He really wanted to send his mother a message that he was still alive, but unfortunately he couldn't do that because of the war.

Now, he heard that the environment in Hot Wind Port had stabilized, and he immediately became extremely anxious. He really wanted to report safety to his family, because no matter what era it is, when the war has been going on for three months, a letter from home can be worth a thousand pieces of gold.

"Forget it. Maybe none of these people really have a home in Hot Wind Port." The adjutant who was following the officer advised with some regret.

  The officer from the Tang Dynasty also felt that he was wasting his time. If these people wanted to write letters back, they could do so. If they didn't want to, they didn't have to. Why the hell did it have to do anything about it?

Anyway, these prisoners have to keep working. If they keep working like this, they can eventually build roads or pipelines back to Hot Wind Port. They worked all the way there, so they naturally believe everything, right?

Cursing in his heart, the Tang officer walked past the elf captives who seemed to have become stronger despite working ten hours a day: "You don't know what's good for you. Think whatever you want... I don't know when the next opportunity will come after this one."

For him, this was really just a pure welfare. Since these prisoners didn't want it, there was no need for him to stand here.

Seeing him turn around and leave, Ma Wen became a little anxious. In fact, he didn't dare to raise his hand to introduce himself, but he really wanted to know whether his mother was safe.

So when the Tang officer was about to walk away, he broke free from his companion's arms, raised his arms and shouted loudly: "I... I am from Hot Wind Port!" After shouting this, he regretted it a little bit. People are just this kind of animals. He thought of another possibility. Maybe the Tang people wanted to use this method to find the families of the elven soldiers who joined the army, and then take revenge on them together with the families and prisoners.

The Tang army officer who was walking away stopped and turned to look at Ma Wen who was holding his arms up and dared not put them down. A Tang army soldier with an assault rifle pushed through the crowd, walked over, pulled Ma Wen onto the roadbed, and came in front of the Tang army officer.

"Sir!" The soldier saluted and stepped back. The Tang officer looked Marvin up and down and a scary smile appeared on his face.

Just when Marvin was about to wet his pants, the officer spoke up: "Can you write?"

"I...I...I can write, write a few words." Ma Wen still knew a few words, and he could write a few simple sentences. He also wrote the previous letters home, although they were just a few simple greetings.

"Don't be nervous. If you don't know how to write, we have civilian staff to help you write for you." The Tang officer patted Marvin on the shoulder and said, "Not bad, young man, you are very courageous and you deserve encouragement. That guy... help him write the letter and give him some extra food in the evening."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the soldiers guarding the prisoners and said, "Keep an eye on him, take good care of him, and don't let those ignorant bastards cause him trouble."

"Yes!" The soldier saluted immediately. The major in front of him was someone that even their squad leader had to treat with caution, so naturally he didn't dare to have the slightest thought of dealing with him.

Marvin was taken to a tent, and then he sat down at a table and began to write a letter to his family. He was not well educated, and all he wrote was a few words that made people laugh and cry, but each word was worth a thousand gold: I am fine, I am still alive, don't worry...

"Do you need help?" When Marvin looked up, he saw a pretty elf girl. He was stunned for a moment, and then he became nervous.

The other person was also wearing an Elf military uniform, and at first glance, he was a civilian sergeant who used to work in the headquarters. Marvin didn't see such a sergeant on weekdays, and in a place full of men, how could he not be nervous when he saw such a beautiful girl?

"Uh, me." Marvin stuttered a little. The elf girl was very familiar and showed a sweet smile, making Marvin feel like a goddess.

"I was a civilian in the 3rd Army Headquarters. I was later captured. I was helping out in the hospital before, and now I've been transferred here to help the prisoners write letters." The girl introduced herself: "My name is Cindy. I'm glad to meet you."

The female non-commissioned officers who came in and out of the headquarters were naturally quite capable. It was a waste of their talents to deal with a private like Marvin. It only took two minutes for Marvin to almost feel like he had met love.

However, he still did not forget the original purpose of sitting here. Finally, with the help of Cindy, he completed a decent letter home to report his safety.
