Chapter 22: Followed Again

"The third child, we need a lot of big cars to leave tomorrow, it's up to you now, money, we don't lack it, as long as the big car is strong enough." Tang Cheng and Huang Chengzhong finalized the list of almost 100 people to return to their hometowns, and escorting so many disabled soldiers back to Yunnan is not something that can be done by a few big cars, so Tang Cheng told Wu Laosan that he needs a lot of big cars. Counting the things they brought with them and the supplies they had on the road, they needed at least 20 carts and horses for the scouts.

It's time to take money from himself again, Liu Shishi reluctantly took out two gold bars and threw them to Wu Laosan, although he has more in it today, but Liu Shishi's slashing temperament makes him very painful The money used to buy a big car. "Stone, this money is not ours in the first place, and besides, don't we still have those private goods, walk halfway down the road and dispose of it, and your gold bars may be put into the entrainment again in the blink of an eye." Tang Cheng rubbed Liu Shishi's head with a smile, and coaxed Liu Shishi into a smile with just a few words.

"Mr. Mu, you are still the same here, you need to prepare more medicines that may be used on the road, and there are not many medicines in the shelter, you can just bring more Chinese medicine, and let's find a place to get some Western medicine on the way." Dice, you and Ma Fatzi prepare some more dry food to eat on the road, in order to avoid those people in the military command, we may not have time to stop in the first two days. "Tang Cheng has already made a rough deduction about the speed of westward expansion, and two days is the time for them to cross Changsha.

"Okay, go back and prepare, pack your own things, don't wait to leave only to find out that you are missing." drove away everyone who needed to work for a long time, and Tang Cheng, who was finally able to relax, sat at the head of the bed in a daze, not knowing what he should do. Tang Cheng actually didn't know if it was right for him to take Liu Shishi and them west into Yunnan, but at least he had to go to Kunming himself, because his passport was still in the hands of Madame Huang, and that passport was Tang Cheng's last retreat.

Tang Cheng was right in front of Huang Chengzhong and Zhao Cannon, he was tired of the war, and when he thought of those familiar faces, Tang Cheng couldn't sleep all night, which was also the main reason why his injuries recovered so slowly. Tang Cheng hated the Japanese in Shanghai, hated the Japanese soldiers, hated all the Japanese in the world, but he had already killed a lot of Japanese and Japanese soldiers, and in a certain way, he had avenged Robert and Liu Goat.

Tang Cheng was raised by Robert since he was a child, and the education he received was not quite the same as that of Chinese children, so he did not have much sense of responsibility for the country and the nation in his bones. Xie Bo did not instill in Tang Cheng the truth of the family and the country, but Tang Cheng liked Liu Goat's bandit-like truth, in Tang Cheng's consciousness, only by saving his own life can he continue to fight the Japanese army, and Tang Cheng can't do anything like Xie Bo who is willing to throw his head and spill blood.

After getting used to the danger of the battlefield, Tang Cheng had gradually ignored death, and after being forced to lose contact with Jiujin and them, Tang Cheng once thought that he would die on the battlefield like this. But after coming into contact with so many people and things all the way south, Tang Cheng gradually changed his mind, especially after seeing so many disabled soldiers here in Liuyang, Tang Cheng made up his mind to live. These soldiers are the same as Xie Bo, they have left blood for the country and the nation, but now they can only drag their crippled bodies to wander helplessly in the shelter, Tang Cheng does not want to be like them, so he has to leave here before he becomes like them.

After pondering for a long time, Tang Cheng finally closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep, maybe he had figured out something, or he could finally let go of the big stone hanging in his heart, Tang Cheng slept well this night. I slept well all night, but unfortunately Tang Cheng and the others couldn't travel the next day, because it rained before dawn the next day, "Damn, I knew it would rain, and the fat man and I didn't have to be busy in the middle of the night last night." The dice who helped the fat man prepare dry food scolded God helplessly with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, but unfortunately the more fierce he scolded, the heavier the rain outside.

A group of people talked and laughed and had breakfast, Tang Cheng was still nestled in his recliner and looked at the rain outside the house and was silent, the rain was due to the weather, these were unexpected changes for them. It was raining, and everyone was idle in the house, only otherwise, Wu Laosan, who was looking for the cart, could not be idle, and hurriedly pulled a coat, and Wu Laosan took the gold bars given to him by Liu Shi out of the barracks. The place where Wu Laosan is going is Liuyang City, he has been running to Liuyang City a lot during this time, with the help of those newly made friends in the rivers and lakes, Wu Laosan got enough cars last night, and he is now going to deliver money.

The muddy loess road was not suitable for bicycles, so Wu Laosan borrowed a horse from the barracks, but not far from the barracks, Wu Laosan noticed that someone was following him. Thinking of what Huang Chengzhong and Zhao Cannon had said that day, Wu Laosan quietly entered Liuyang City, and after entering the city, Wu Laosan did not get rid of his tail, but swaggered into a restaurant to eat. Like ordinary drinkers, Wu Laosan, who had already sat down, only cared about dealing with the wine and meat brought by Xiao Er, but in fact he was paying attention to the movements and suspicious people around him.

Leaving the barracks and going to Yunnan, Tang Cheng didn't want to do this as mysterious as a thief, since there was a signboard of the Yunnan Army in the open, Tang Cheng planned to leave openly, so Wu Laosan didn't worry about affecting his new friends, he just wanted to find out who was following him. After eating a meal, Wu Laosan couldn't find the person who was following him, and in desperation, Wu Laosan had no choice but to leave the account.

"What the hell" Wu Laosan, who turned over on the horse, couldn't help laughing at himself, thinking that he was an old man, but he couldn't find the person who was following him, it seems that a comfortable life is not a good thing for him. It only took an hour for Wu Laosan to get those carts from his friends, and for very little money, the short-term workers hired by Wu Laosan would drive these carts to the barracks, and Wu Laosan only had to follow them on horseback.

"Even you're being followed?" Huang Chengzhong was very surprised, he couldn't figure out why those people in the military command could follow him and Zhao Dacang, why would they follow someone like Wu Laosan. Tang Cheng didn't show the same surprise as Huang Chengzhong, since the people from the military commander came to the barracks, it means that he has set his sights on here, and all the people they feel suspicious in the barracks will become the targets of investigation, and Wu Laosan will certainly not be spared.

"It's okay, if they like to follow, let them follow, anyway, we don't have a handle in their hands, at least we are still soldiers now, they don't dare to mess around." Tang Cheng's very relaxed attitude gradually calmed down Wu Laosan's heart. Tang Cheng was so calm, Huang Chengzhong didn't say anything more, just discussed with Tang Cheng about escorting those disabled soldiers. However, with the fact that Wu Laosan was being followed, those soldiers who had participated in the arms trade could not go on the road with Tang Cheng and them, and those soldiers had to set off early tonight and wait to join Tang Cheng and them on the way.

Of course, the people who followed Wu Laosan were the military commanders, a large number of mules and horses were driven back to the barracks, and the matter had also been told to Shen Huaiyu, and he couldn't figure out what the shelter wanted so many carts to do, so Shen Huaiyu had to order his action team to catch a guy who sold the three carts to Wu Laosan. "Sir, I really don't know, he just said that there are too many cripples in the shelter, and the prefect in the shelter now wants to send these cripples back to his hometown in Yunnan, that's why he needs these carts." The face of the person who was captured by the military command action team was full of grievances, and he didn't know what was going on at all.

"Stationmaster, I think the guy surnamed Huang is playing tricks, I haven't heard of any troops doing this, disabled soldiers generally find their way or return to their hometowns by themselves." Shen Huaiyu's subordinates began to suspect that this was Huang Chengzhong's smoke bomb, intending to confuse the attention and investigation of his own people.

"Then keep an eye on Huang Chengzhong and Zhao Dacang, as for the disabled soldiers who have returned to their hometowns, don't care, they will always go back to Changsha and Yunnan, and then we will rob them halfway and check them carefully." Shen Huaiyu really didn't care about the disabled soldiers who returned to their hometowns, and he also thought that Huang Chengzhong and Zhao Cannon were the key to reselling arms. Shen Huaiyu didn't know that it was his own order that would let go of the real messenger who resold the arms, and once Tang Cheng was out of his sight, it would never be possible to find him.

The pouring rain did not stop until after noon, Tang Cheng did not plan to set off in the afternoon, which would bring unnecessary misunderstandings to the military commanders who were secretly watching, so Tang Cheng decided to leave early tomorrow morning, and it rained in two consecutive mornings, so the probability should not be large. This should be his last night in this barracks, after dinner, Tang Cheng asked Liu Shishi and Zhang Xiaobao to help him walk slowly in the shelter, and even went to see the small tree that Zhang Xiaobao planted in a corner of the barracks.

"Lao Huang, we have been together for a few months, and we can be regarded as having a friendship. Listen to my advice, the people in the military command are not easy to fool, don't get involved in those arms matters, be careful that it will bring big trouble when the time comes. Just do what I said, register those arms immediately, and then don't care who will investigate the matter, you can all be justified. Seeing that Huang Chengzhong was still a little hesitant, Tang Cheng couldn't help but scratch his head.

"Lao Huang, have you thought about it, if something happens to you and Zhao Cannon, what will happen to the wounded soldiers here? Can you guarantee that the next webmaster will still be able to take care of them like the two of you? Not to mention that you haven't been to other military shelters, do you want this place to be the same as those places? Think about it. Tang Cheng was helped away by Liu Shishi and Zhang Xiaobao, leaving only Huang Chengzhong, whose expression was constantly changing, stiffened and stood in the dark courtyard.
