Chu Pengtian was in trouble for a while, he had been out for a long time, if he continued to wait now, I am afraid that when he returned to the army, Liao Fan would have already returned to the command headquarters, but he wanted to hide it from Liao Fan.

Chu Pengtian paced back and forth in the morning headquarters, not knowing what decision to make.

"Brother Tian, why don't you go back first!" Yingzi saw that Chu Pengtian was uneasy, and knew that he had something, and like every time he came back, he couldn't stay too long.

"No, I have to take you away this time, and the team escorting the goods at night is not safe, I don't worry, this old man regards the goods as more important than human life, once something goes wrong, we will never see each other in this life!" Chu Pengtian's attitude was very resolute, this time he left Taihang Mountain under the pretense of Li Lingfei's order, just to bring Yingzi back and let him live a stable life with him.

"Boy, don't be delusional, I won't agree!" The old knife and gun knocked the cigarette stick on the sole of his shoe and poured out the soot inside.

Chu Pengtian didn't even look at the old man: "It seems that this time I, Chu Pengtian, am destined to be a deserter, the first platoon leader, you return with the second and third squads, and tell Brother Fan, I, Chu Pengtian, am sorry for him, and when the matter here is done, I will ask him for the guilt." ”

"Company commander, I'd better stay!" The platoon leader said to Chu Pengtian.

"Good brother, I came out this time to do my private business, it's enough to affect you, I can't let you be like me, carrying the infamy of a deserter, after you go back, admit your mistakes to Brother Fan, Brother Fan will definitely not embarrass you!" Chu Pengtian said.

"Company Commander ......"

"Don't say anything, hurry up, be careful and pay attention to safety along the way, a squad leader and a few of them will follow me!"

Chu Pengtian urged the platoon leaders to hurry up, things have changed, he knows that this seemingly simple thing is difficult to complete, for the safety of Yingzi, he decided to follow the old man tonight.

After waiting for the platoon leader to leave, the old knife and gun looked at Chu Pengtian: "I didn't expect your brother to treat you well." Chu Pengtian said goodbye to the platoon leader just now, which reminded him of the time when he was in the Boxers, although the Boxers were going downhill during that time, but the feelings between the brothers were very deep.

Chu Pengtian didn't speak, in his memory, since he arrived in Taihang Mountain, the brothers of the New 33rd Army had a good relationship with each other.

"Old man, add three people to the team at night!" Chu Pengtian said to the old knife gun.

"Why should I add someone? There is no shortage of manpower in the team arranged by the owner, and besides, with an old man like me, who dares to do anything to the delivery team? "This is the self-confidence of the old knife and gun, who has worked for the owner for more than 20 years, and has never made a mistake in his hands.

"For the safety of Yingzi, you don't want to have no one around Yingzi to protect you when something goes wrong, right? I know a lot about who your boss is arranged! ”

Since he was a child, Chu Pengtian has known their owners, they only recognize money and not people, sometimes for money, even their own people can be killed, in order to make money and live for themselves, these people will do whatever it takes.

Chu Pengtian's words made the old knife speechless, he had never brought Yingzi with a team to deliver goods before, firstly, Yingzi was a woman, and there were many inconveniences on the road, and secondly, he was afraid that there would be problems on the road.

Now he has to take Yingzi out, just because Chu Pengtian is here, if Yingzi is left at home alone, Chu Pengtian will definitely take Yingzi away.

"Okay, but you can't add people to the team, but you can follow from a distance!" The old knife and gun agreed to Chu Pengtian, although he was the leader of the team, but adding people to the team escorting the goods was easy to make people suspicious, especially his young owner, "After dark, you and your people are waiting in the woods two miles east of the village, and I will give you a signal when the time comes." ”

Chu Pengtian thought about it, in order to find out the goods, in order to protect Yingzi's safety, it can only be like this now, and more importantly, Chu Pengtian is curious about the goods transported by the Shaodong family, and it is not difficult to hear from the words of the young owner that this is delivering goods to the little devil.

"First squad leader, I will take two brothers to move at night, you and the rest of the soldiers will stay here, remember not to let others notice that you are here!" Chu Pengtian ordered to the squad leader.

"Don't worry, company commander!"

For an afternoon, Chu Pengtian was tired of being with Yingzi, and the old knives and guns were tired of watching, so he hid out of the room and began to smoke dry cigarettes, sharpening his knife by the way, and taking out a Wang Ba box that the owner gave him and constantly wiping it.

Since the beginning of autumn, the daytime has become shorter and shorter, and it will soon get dark, and after the old knife and gun and Yingzi have a hurried dinner, they left their yard and walked towards the warehouse of the east house.

Chu Pengtian took two soldiers to the team outside the village to wait for the delivery.

In the headquarters of Taihang Mountain, it is rare for Liao Fan to finish the matter at hand so early, and recently he has paid special attention to the situation in the north, and Liao Fan does not have to worry about the upcoming Battle of Changsha, because this is a battle that must be won.

After a simple wash, Liao Fan decided to rest early, he hadn't slept so early for a long time. Liao Fan, who was used to sleeping late, couldn't sleep when he lay on the bed.

Three things have always made him uneasy, one is that Chu Pengtian has no news so far, the second is that he is most concerned about whether a friend John has not given him exact news about whether he is leaving, and the third thing is the matter of the north!

Liao Fan couldn't fall asleep in bed, and suddenly heard a knock on the door. Liao Fan got up to check and saw John standing there with a bottle of wine at the door.

"Liao, how about a drink with me?" John walked directly into the room without waiting for Liao Fan's invitation.

Liao Fan smiled, put on his clothes, took out two tea jars and put them on the table: "You wait for a while, I'll go to the cooking class to see if there is anything to eat!" ”

At this time, the cooking class had been closed, but they were preparing tomorrow's ingredients, Liao Fan found the leader of the cooking class and asked for some peanuts and some fried beans, and returned to the headquarters.

By the time Liao Fan returned, John had already begun to drink to himself, although a foreigner holding a large teapot and drinking seemed so out of place.

"How's it going, have you decided?" Liao Fan asked John.

John raised his head and glanced at Liao Fan, then shook his head.

"Did you not make a good decision, or did you not accept that your country had provoked a war?" Liao Fan continued to ask.

"I didn't think about it!" John said, "Liao, I want to ask you something. ”

"Just ask, I'll know everything!"

"How did you know in advance that our country was going to start a war? Don't tell me you don't know anything, I was surprised when you asked me this question at first, but then I thought about it a little bit and apparently you already knew it was going to happen! John asked curiously.

Liao Fan smiled lightly, John was the first person to ask him this question in person: "Hmm...... It's a long story! ”

"That's a long story short!"

"Do you believe me when I say it?" Liao Fan asked.

"As long as you say it, I believe it!"

"I'm a man from the future!" Liao Fan said seriously.

"Hah!" John grinned happily, knowing whether he believed it or not.

Sudden lightning in the sky, thunder, followed by the sound of rain, and lightning and thunder can be seen in autumn, which is indeed a bit rare, but it can happen. Neither of them seemed to hear the rain outside the house, and they were just drinking.

That night, John drank too much, but Liao Fan was very clear, he helped John to the bed, and he fell asleep on the stool.

I don't know when the rain stopped last night, when Liao Fan woke up, John was still snoring, Liao Fan glanced at John, he knew that he was going to lose this friend, and John had already decided to return to China last night.

No matter what the country looks like, it is his motherland after all, just like China now, no matter how stormy the country is, there is still a group of people with strong beliefs who are shedding their blood for her.

"The world is impermanent! Those who should go will always go, and they can't stay if they want to, but they have to find a director for the hospital again! Liao Fan felt a little more tired in his heart.

When John woke up, it was almost noon, Liao Fan looked at his foreign friend and felt very reluctant, he originally wanted to use John's medical skills, but now he really regarded John as his friend.

"When are you going to leave?" Liao Fan poured a cup of hot water for John.

"I'm going to prepare, let's leave the day after tomorrow!" John said.

"The day after tomorrow, I will arrange for someone to send you to Yangquan, now your country and the Japanese are discussing the matter of forming an alliance, your nationality is your identity, and the Japanese will not embarrass you!" Liao Fan said.

The Japanese invited the Germans to observe the battle of Nomenkan, and although the Japanese lost the battle badly, some kind of agreement was reached between Japan and Germany.

John nodded: "I'm not a crazy person who only stays in the research room, I've heard some things about the outside world. ”

"Also, after returning to China, remember to write to me often, there are some things I should be able to help me a little bit!" Liao Fan wasn't sure if John believed what he said last night, if this guy really believed it, and went back to talk to Hitler, would Hitler send someone to China to arrest him back for research.

"Don't worry, this matter is a secret between us!" John winked playfully like a child, "I'll go back to the hospital first, and I still have a lot of things to deal with before I go back." ”

Liao Fan smiled bitterly and said goodbye to John.

At this time, Chu Pengtian followed behind the escort team with two soldiers from afar, according to the traces left by the carriage, Chu Pengtian preliminarily judged that the car should be loaded with grain, and after a night of hurrying, they had reached the occupied area of the little devils.

Chu Pengtian already knew that this was sending food to the little devil, but there was also a carriage accompanying him, and because the distance was too far, Chu Pengtian couldn't see the details in the carriage at all, but judging from the sound, Chu Pengtian concluded that it was a woman in the carriage.

"Didn't the master say that there would be no women in the team?" Chu Pengtian wondered in his heart, according to what the old knife and gun said, there had never been a woman in his team, except for Yingzi, the goddaughter of the old man, there were other women immediately, and there was not only one.

When the morning dawned, the convoy had completely entered the enemy-occupied area, because it was working for the Japanese, so the old knife and gun planted a little devil's plaster flag on the head car, so that it was convenient for the puppet army who did not have a long eye when passing by.

In the areas occupied by the little devils, apart from the guerrillas, there are very few bandits, and at most there are those homeless people who are hungry and crazy and can't find anything to eat.

So as soon as the morning dawned, the old knife and gun found a suitable place to set up camp, ready for the team to have breakfast before preparing to set off. Chu Pengtian and the others had been staring at the convoy from afar, and he began to care more about who the women in the carriage were and why they appeared in the convoy.
