Chapter 527: The Situation on the Road (Three Watches)
After Li Daoqun finished telling his story, the room fell silent, Liao Fan did not scold the national army for abusing his power and giving innocent people indiscriminately, because in this society, Liao Fan is no longer surprised by what happened, and the abuse of power and the power in his hands to do things is something that happens in every dynasty.
Liao Fan didn't sympathize with Li Daoqun at all, because sympathy couldn't exchange Li Daoqun's medical skills, what he needed now was Li Daoqun's medical skills.
"You're really not here to get me?" Li Daoqun asked Liao Fan tentatively, when the gun in his hand was taken away by Liao Fan in an instant, he planned to give up resistance, just to save the lives of his wife and three apprentices.
"I'm not in the mood to arrest anyone, but I have a way to resolve your current crisis!" Liao Fan said to Li Daoqun.
When Liao Fan heard that Li Daoqun was a doctor who came back from studying in Japan, Liao Fan had the intention of absorbing this person into Taihang Mountain, and now although they have a lot of doctors in Taihang Mountain, he is not too many good doctors, if possible, Liao Fan hopes that there will be a doctor in each company, so that there will be fewer deaths of many excellent soldiers.
Li Daoqun looked at Liao Fan in disbelief, who else has the right to compare with the bigwigs of the Ministry of Military Affairs, unless you are Chairman Jiang and give an order, but the person in front of you is not Chairman Jiang at all.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Chinese!" Liao Fan was not sure that Li Daoqun would go with him, and he would not easily reveal his identity to Li Daoqun.
Li Daoqun obviously didn't get the answer he wanted, after all, he was just an ordinary person who wanted to live in peace and survive in the troubled times.
"If you are willing to go with me, I guarantee that you will not be disappointed, and there is no worry about life, if you do not follow me, you can imagine your own consequences, a Chinese who has been pressed as a Japanese agent, I guarantee that you will live a very difficult life wherever you go in China!"
After Liao Fan said this, he got up and said goodbye, because he didn't want to continue to waste time on Li Daoqun, no matter what choice Li Daoqun made, it was just his personal matter.
"Lu Liming, let's go!"
At the moment when Liao Fan was about to walk out of the courtyard gate, Li Daoqun ran out and stopped Liao Fan.
"As long as you assure me that you are not Japanese and that you can keep us safe, I am willing to go with you!" Li Daoqun made a lot of determination to be willing to follow Liao Fan.
After all, a stranger suddenly appeared at his house, took his gun, and then told him to follow without revealing anything, and everyone had to make a lot of determination to do it.
Now Li Daoqun is cornered, the national army is arresting him, and he doesn't want to go to the Japanese, so now he can only hold on to Liao Fan's life-saving straw and not let go.
Liao Fan took Li Daoqun's gun from Lu Liming's hand, then reloaded the bullet and handed it to Li Daoqun: "I believe in you now, and you must believe me now!" ”
Li Daoqun didn't know what to do for a while with a pistol, but just stood in place stunned.
"If you want to go, hurry up and prepare your things, I don't have any more time for you to waste!" Liao Fan urged Li Daoqun.
Since he had decided to flee Luoyang, Li Daoqun obviously knew that bringing too many things at this time would be a burden, so he simply packed up a few things and followed Liao Fan out of his home.
After beating around the bush, Liao Fan took Li Daoqun to the courtyard where they were resting.
When the soldiers standing guard saw Liao Fan coming back, they hurriedly greeted Liao Fan, and then looked curiously at the five people who followed behind Liao Fan.
"Clean up a room for the five of them, and tell the brethren to leave an hour early tomorrow!"
Because there were five people added to the team, in order to prevent accidents, Liao Fan decided that they should set off early, after all, Li Daoqun was a spy of the Japanese army in the eyes of the national army.
After resting all night, when Liao Fan set off early in the morning, Liao Fan found that one of Li Daoqun's apprentices was a teenage girl, about the same age as Liu Chunjian.
However, the early departure did not bring good luck to Liao Fan.
When they left the city, their group was interrogated by the soldiers, and it was obvious that today's soldiers seemed to really come at Li Daoqun.
Even after Liao Fan stuffed a few oceans, the soldiers didn't mean to let them go.
"Hurry up, what are you doing?" A soldier shouted at Li Daoqun.
Now there is no way but to accept the inspection of the soldiers, Liao Fan also greeted Lu Liming, and asked the soldiers of the personal guard squad to do it at any time to subdue the defenders at the gate of the city.
But at the critical moment, a company commander appeared at the gate of the city and shouted: "Don't check, what else to check, he is a friend of mine, he really didn't fight!" ”
After finishing speaking, the company commander stepped forward to lead the box for Li Daoqun, and then went out of the city gate, and Liao Fan and the others breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
After leaving the city gate, Liao Fan and the others surrounded the company commander in the middle, and the company commander also beat a drum in his heart, when did Li Daoqun have such a group of people around him to protect him.
"Doctor Li, thank you for saving your life before, otherwise I wouldn't be able to save this arm, I know that you were wronged in that matter, but I am also a small company commander, this is the only thing I can do, you can do it yourself in the future!"
After finishing speaking, the company commander took out more than a dozen oceans from his pocket and handed them to Li Daoqun, and then squeezed through the soldiers of the personal guard squad and walked to the city gate.
Liao Fan smiled lightly, he didn't expect to meet a good person, which also solved a lot of trouble for them.
"Let's go, try to reach Lotus Mountain before it gets dark!" Liao Fan urged to start on the road.
Because there are more Li Daoqun and them in the team, the speed of the journey is much slower, after all, he is a doctor, unlike them, who are used to walking.
Along the way, Liao Fan and the others met a lot of ordinary people fleeing from the famine, this was the first time he had seen such a large number of people fleeing their hometowns, and there were some starving corpses on the side of the road, pecked by crows who were not afraid of people, and the naked carrion was pecked......
Liao Fan was shocked by what happened on the road, not only Liao Fan, but even several other people were shocked when they saw it, only Li Daoqun felt that it was a very ordinary thing.
Liao Fan didn't be a good man on the road, giving them food and money and other things, because he knew that there was no moral and legal bottom line among these people who fled the famine, and once the food and money reached a weak person, not only would he not be able to bring him any help, but he might also be plundered by others.
The group walked against the flow of people for a long time, and Liao Fan and they encountered a total of thirty or forty thousand people, until they deviated from the main road and came to the small road, so they could not see such a scene.
It was already noon, and Liao Fan and the others found a sheltered place to rest and eat.
"Brother Fan, we're running out of food!" Lu Liming said to Liao Fan.
Suddenly five more of them came out, and of course there was not enough food to eat, and there were people fleeing the famine along the way, and they had no place to replenish them.
"Let everyone eat a little bit, and tell everyone to bear with it!"
Liao Fan took out the map he carried with him to confirm his current location, they were still at least half a day's way away from Lotus Mountain, but as the time of their journey increased, their marching speed would definitely become slower and slower, and they would not be able to catch up with Lotus Mountain before the sun set.
"Lu Liming arranged two soldiers, let them go first, tell Chu Pengtian the news that we are coming, and let them arrange someone to pick us up!"
At night, in such a chaotic place, Liao Fan had to be extremely careful, especially since they were still carrying six people who did not have the slightest combat effectiveness, something happened, and the consequences were unimaginable.
"Xiao Zhang and Xiao Zhou, the two of you go to Lotus Mountain Dahongzhai to inform Chu Pengtian to arrange someone to pick us up!"
Li Daoqun heard all of Liao Fan's arrangements. And Li Daoqun also understands Lotus Mountain, because now the bandits in Henan are serious, and in addition to the mountainous areas in the west of Henan, the most ferocious bandits are the bandits in the Lotus Mountain area.
Moreover, there were several cases of bandits in the Lianhua Mountain area, and when the little devils did not call in previous years, the local government also cleared them several times, but the final result was in vain.
Now that Liao Fan mentioned Lotus Mountain, Li Daoqun instinctively became nervous, he began to think that Liao Fan and his party were bandits, but he didn't dare to ask Liao Fan, so he could only keep protecting his wife and apprentices.
In order to get to Lotus Mountain as soon as possible, Liao Fan only let them rest for half an hour and started to hurry.
"Everyone hold on, wait until you get to Lotus Mountain and then rest, it's not safe to rush at night!" Liao Fan said.
Due to the scourge of the little devils, the local people are very strict against strangers, and some people avoid Liao Fan and them from a distance when they see Liao Fan and his party.
When the sun was about to set, Li Daoqun and his family were already exhausted from hurrying, and at this time, their group was still more than thirty miles away from the periphery of Lotus Mountain.
"That, Brother Liao, can we rest for a while, my daughter-in-law and apprentices are already tired!" Li Daoqun gasped and said to Liao Fan.
Liao Fan looked at the little sunset left in the distance, and knew in his heart that it was too late, but this was a barren mountain and a wild mountain, and it was not a suitable place to rest at all.
"Go further, find a village and we'll settle down!" Liao Fan asked Li Daoqun and them to hold on a little longer.
Li Daoqun nodded vigorously in agreement, but before he walked a few dozen meters, Li Daoqun's female apprentice fell to his feet, and Liao Fan had to order everyone to stop and rest in place to check the injuries of the female apprentice.
"Aren't you a doctor? Hurry up and figure it out! Lu Liming looked at Li Daoqun with dissatisfaction, it was because of Li Daoqun that they were in a hurry, and now some of them are stumbling again.
Liao Fan ignored Li Daoqun and them, but walked a few hundred meters east alone, taking advantage of the fact that it was not completely dark, trying to find a suitable place to rest.
Sure enough, Liao Fan didn't go out a mile, but he saw a small village in the distance.
"Find two men to carry him, there is a village about a mile ahead of us, let's go there and rest!" Liao Fan returned and told a few people that the two warriors were carrying the female apprentice and hurried towards the unknown village.
The village is surrounded by a wasteland, although this season is not suitable for planting things, but the common people should be able to sow winter wheat after harvesting corn, but Liao Fan and they did not find any traces of grain in the field.
I don't know if the people didn't have time to sow the seeds or if they had already eaten up the seeds as rations.
After Liao Fan and the others entered the village, they did not search the whole village, after all, they had too few people, and this village only looked like a dozen courtyards, so Liao Fan and they only searched a few courtyards, and then found a courtyard and began to rest.
"This food and water is for you, you go to the east of the village and find a place to hide!" Liao Fan handed over some of the food in his hand to a soldier and asked him to stand guard outside the village.
