Chapter 91: Self-blame

According to Tang Cheng's idea, they returned to Nanshan Village to pack up their things and leave, but after hurrying back to Nanshan Village, they buried the monk's corpse, but it rained in the sky, and the rain became heavier and heavier. "Take a sip and take a sip on a rainy day to relieve fatigue." Tang Cheng was standing in front of the window looking at the drizzle outside the window silently, a brown-red palm-sized wine gourd was handed to him, and subconsciously reached out to take the wine gourd, Tang Cheng turned his head to look at the old northeast who appeared beside him. "Let you drink, you drink, what do you watch me do?" Lao Dongbei casually took out a cigarette, lit the cigarette with a match and smoked it.

"I know what you're thinking, war, where there will be no death, it's not your fault. Since the brothers have eaten this dinner, they should be prepared to die on the battlefield, and if you hadn't accepted us into the second company, maybe a hob like Lao Tzu would have died a long time ago, or he would have been pulled by a black-hearted commander to be cannon fodder. Slowly exhaling a breath, Lao Dongbei said in a somewhat annoyed urn voice.

After listening to Lao Dongbei's words, Tang Cheng, who had been silent, suddenly felt a little better, pulled off the stopper of the wine gourd, and a rich aroma of wine emanated from the wine gourd. He raised his head and poured a sip into his mouth, and as soon as the wine was in his stomach, a fiery hot current rose from his stomach, making Tang Cheng's face turn from pale to red in an instant, and Tang Cheng even felt that the breath coming out of his mouth was like it was about to catch fire.

"Haha, I said you can't drink it slowly, this wine is not small, it was made by the people in this village themselves, and drinking it is like swallowing a fire." Tang Cheng's abnormality was clearly seen by Lao Dongbei, and seeing Tang Cheng's blushing face and hurriedly reaching out to grab the teapot on the table, Lao Dongbei couldn't help laughing.

"Company commander, the guerrillas have returned, and I see that there are many wounded, and the woman surnamed Yan was also carried back on a stretcher." Tang Cheng was holding the teapot and swallowing the tea, and Liu Shishi, who was dressed in a coat and had muddy feet, ran back from outside, bringing back a message that made Lao Dongbei and the others turn their heads to look at Tang Cheng in unison. When leaving the station, the guerrillas were all talking lively, but Tang Cheng said in the car that the Japanese army would have reinforcements, so it seems that what Tang Cheng said has been fulfilled, and the guerrillas definitely fought with the Japanese reinforcements when carrying those weapons and ammunition.

"What are you looking at me for? Could it be that I have flowers on my face? It's getting dark, I can't open the meal, and I'm going to starve to death. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Tang Cheng handed the teapot in his hand to Liu Shishi with a displeased face. When he left the station, Tang Cheng had already made up his mind that he would not play any more games with the guerrillas in the future to fight against the enemy, and as for whether the guerrillas suffered a loss when they exchanged fire with Japanese reinforcements, this had nothing to do with him.

"I thought we would go back to Nanshan Village and pack up our things and leave, but I didn't expect it to rain in December, and when it rains, not only is the road not easy to walk, but our injured brothers can't stand the rain either." The meal was served, but Tang Cheng, who had been arguing and hungry, suddenly lost his appetite. Tang Cheng didn't eat, Liu Shishi and they naturally put down the dishes and chopsticks, "Early tomorrow morning, no matter whether it rains or not, let's leave Nanshan Village, if the guerrillas really fight with the Japanese reinforcements, Nanshan Village may not be safe, we must try to avoid encountering the Japanese army now." ”

Old Northeast they naturally nodded again and again at Tang Cheng's decision, after the battle of the military station during the day, there were only 12 people among them who could continue to fight, and the rest was Qian Erxi and a dozen of their wounded, and this little force had to fight hard with the Japanese army, and the final result was that almost all 30 people died. "Company Commander Tang, our Captain Yan wants to invite you over, saying that there is something to discuss with you." As soon as everyone picked up the bowl, one of Yan Hongjiao's guerrillas pushed the door and walked in, claiming that he had come to invite Tang Cheng on Yan Hongjiao's orders.

Tang Cheng looked at the guerrilla who pushed the door in without blinking, trying to see suspicion from this person's expression, but he only glanced at it and lowered his eyes to concentrate on dealing with the rice porridge in the bowl. The guerrilla sent by Yan Hongjiao had originally stayed in Nanshan Village, and he absolutely didn't know what happened to the military station, and even if he was forced to ask, he couldn't ask anything.

"Go back and tell you Captain Yan that our company commander is not available, and he has not had any teeth since this morning. Besides, our company commander still has a wound on his body, and it is raining outside, so the wound cannot be wet, and if something happens to our company commander, I am afraid that you guerrillas will not be able to bear this responsibility. As soon as the guerrillas opened their mouths to say a few words, they were blasted out by Liu Shishi, who looked impatient. Anyway, Tang Cheng had already decided to leave tomorrow, and it didn't matter if he didn't see Yan Hongjiao, and Liu Shishi didn't believe that the guerrillas dared to come over with guns to find trouble for themselves.

Seeing that the guerrillas still refused to leave, Tang Cheng had no choice but to put down the porridge bowl, "Go back and tell you Captain Yan, we have already done everything we promised." Let's just say that I, Tangcheng, thank Captain Yan for taking in my injured brothers to recuperate in Nanshan Village, and we will leave tomorrow, as for the cart and guide that Captain Yan promised earlier, there are them, and if they don't, we don't care about them. I have injuries on my body, and it's still raining outside, so I won't go over and say goodbye to Captain Yan in person. ”

The guerrillas who were sent by Yan Hongjiao still wanted to speak, but Lao Dongbei stretched out his hand to stop them, "Okay, our company commander has already said it just now, our company commander is not free now, go back and tell you Captain Yan, if there is anything, we will talk about it tomorrow." The guerrillas who were glared at by Lao Dongbei fiercely, and who were pushed and shoved by Liu Shilian, had to leave in a huff, but when he turned around, Tang Cheng saw a trace of sadness in that person's eyes.

Tang Cheng was also a little strange why he saw sadness in that person's eyes, Liu Shishi said that he saw Yan Hongjiao being carried back, could it be that Yan Hongjiao's injuries were very serious? Since Liu Shi and Lao Dongbei have already rejected each other, Tang Cheng will not say anything back, but just tell Liu Shi to persuade the other party to leave. Picking up the porridge bowl again, the originally steaming meal entered Tang Cheng's mouth but felt tasteless, if it weren't for Hou San who didn't know where to find a handful of dried chili peppers, Tang Cheng might not even be able to eat the bowl of porridge in front of him.

Although the information provided by the guerrillas was somewhat different from the results of his own on-the-spot observations, if it weren't for the guerrillas outside the station who shot in advance and disrupted their plans, perhaps the brothers who followed him into the station would not have died so many people. When he went, he was a carload of people, but when he came back, he was a carload of people and a caravan of corpses, and no one expected such a result, especially Tang Cheng could not forgive the guerrillas, no matter what the reasons for the guerrillas, in this matter, the guerrillas should bear the main responsibility.

"Stone, one gold bar will be given to each person, as long as there is an address, and there is also a copy of the dead brothers, and they are dead, and there are families." The guilt in his heart made Tang Cheng unable to swallow, and after thinking about it, it seemed that only by giving money to the big guy could he slightly eliminate some of the guilt in his heart. Hearing that there was money to take, the eyes of the dice and Hou San immediately lit up, although it was dangerous to follow Tang Cheng to fight the little devils, it was more money than when he was a bandit, and it was even better than the ranks of the national army, I don't know how much, at least every time he encountered a little devil, Tang Cheng was the first.

Liu Shishi, who was surrounded by Hou San and others, pouted very dissatisfied, taking money out of Liu Shishi's hand was like cutting meat with a knife, if he hadn't gotten a floating fortune in Lingxiang Town during the day, Liu Shishi would never agree to take money out. "I don't want this money, the monk and I followed you just to fight devils, our lives are sold to the country, not to you, and you can't take the money to compensate us." took the gold bar stuffed into his hand by Liu Shishi and played with it, and Tan Fei, who also had a calm face, put the gold bar in front of Tang Cheng.

The death of the monk hit Tan Fei very hard, and among the few people who came out of Peking in a group, only Tan Fei and the monk crossed the river alive, according to Tan Fei's original plan, they were going to northern Shaanxi to find the Communist Party. Unexpectedly, he was first coerced by a group of national army routs in Huangshi and fled into the mountains, and then was taken under the command of Tang Cheng, who was eager to recruit manpower, and several battles with the Japanese army along the way to the south made Tan Fei admire Tang Cheng and his group very much, but he didn't expect the monk to die in the Japanese army.

Although he knew that the monk's death didn't matter about Tang Cheng's affairs, when facing Tang Cheng, Tan Fei could always see the monk's shadow swaying in front of his eyes, but he was not ready to leave Tang Cheng's gang, because compared with the guerrillas, Tang Cheng's gang seemed to be more adept at killing devils. Tan Fei didn't want the gold bars that he had already gotten in his hand, Tang Cheng didn't seem to be surprised, but he just looked up at Tan Fei who was expressionless, Tang Cheng suddenly smiled, "I know that the monk is your brother, and I can take back the gold bars, but you also have to promise me to kill 100 little devils to avenge the monk." ”

Tang Cheng's words made Tan Fei's eyes light up, and he nodded heavily at Tang Cheng, Tan Fei turned around and sat back, reached out and grabbed the wine gourd of the old northeast and poured a big sip, but he was choked by the hot wine and coughed repeatedly. Although the people in the room didn't know what kind of dumb riddle Tang Cheng and Tan Fei were playing, everyone laughed when they saw Tan Fei's embarrassment choking on spirits. Seeing that everyone in the room was laughing, Tan Fei, who was already flushed with alcohol, also laughed, and for a while, everyone's laughter actually passed through the house into the rain curtain, which made this rainy night a little warmer.
