Chapter 33: What Do You Think?
Tang Cheng, who walked back to the church quickly, stuffed himself into the quilt, even if he was wrapped in a thick quilt, Tang Cheng still felt chills, "Learn to think, learn to find problems from things" Robert's repeated words have been echoing in Tang Cheng's mind, the appearance of the man in black is too weird, Tang Cheng is irritable for no reason, he can't remember who he has offended.
The guns outside rang out one after another, and at night you could even see the night sky red with firelight in the distance, but the citizens of Shanghai in the concession lived as usual, but their hearts had more desire for victory in the war. Tang Cheng, who was asleep, didn't know that Lu Dao was in a bungalow not far from the church, and there was a telescope looking here, maybe the two people in the bungalow didn't know what Lu Dao wanted to see Tang Cheng, but this task was specially explained by the above, and they didn't dare to ask such a little minion.
The shift change has not yet come, Han Wu, who has been monitoring the church through the telescope, rubbed his astringent eyes tiredly, and just as he left the telescope to pour water, several men in national army uniforms knocked on the door of the church. "Uncle, why do you say that our company commander has to ask us to come to this Tang City? The company commander is still lying in the hospital, and the injuries on your old body have not healed yet, what are you doing with a few of us coming to this ghost church? The childish-looking Niu Wazi carefully supported Liu Goat, and the two national soldiers standing next to him also nodded their heads, obviously agreeing with Niu Wazi's words just now.
Liu Goat knocked Niu Wazi with his hand, "You kid knows what to say, this Tang Cheng is only two years older than you, but people know more than you, is our company commander an ordinary person?" The company commander said that a good person must be an unusual person, and there is naturally a reason why he came to Tang Cheng, and you don't understand it, I feel like knocking on the door. Niu Wazi is not only the orderly of the company commander Xie Bo, but also a distant relative of Xie Bo, so Liu Goat spoke to Niu Wazi with some doting on the juniors.
"Little brother, let's meet again, this is the so-called fate." Liu Goat's sudden visit made Tang Cheng, who was originally sleepy-eyed, wake up immediately, aren't the troops of the national army all fighting with the Japanese army? How could this Liu goat have time to come to him? Tang Cheng, who was full of doubts, persuaded the priest who was not worried about him, and then beckoned Liu Shanyang and the others to his room to talk.
"The little brother's house is very clean, and he looks like a diligent person." After entering Tang Cheng's room, Liu Goat's figure paused slightly. Tang Cheng's murderous bayonet was placed under his pillow, although the bayonet had been repeatedly washed with water by Tang Cheng, but because of a veteran's sensitivity to the smell of blood, Liu Goat still smelled the subtle smell of blood. Liu Goat didn't know what smelled of blood in Tang Cheng's room, but as a veteran of the oil for many years, Liu Goat immediately used words to cover up his loss of consciousness just now.
beckoned everyone to sit down, Tang Cheng brought tea, "Little brother, don't be busy, I naturally have something to do when I came to you so late, we have to go back to the hospital when it's over, the brothers are still lying in the hospital" Liu Goat deliberately pulled up the topic and wanted to lead Tang Cheng to ask him a question, but Tang Cheng was a little weird today, as if he didn't react to what he just said, not even a little reaction, just holding his teacup and drinking tea.
"Hey, I said you kid give a good reaction, Lao Tzu and I came to you with someone at night, and you just drank it with tea, I'm really fucking angry." Liu Goat was finally amused by Tang Cheng's reaction, if it weren't for Xie Bo's repeated telling him to come to the church to see Tang Cheng before he fell unconscious, he wouldn't have dragged his injured body to the concession at night.
Tang Cheng has been silent not because he doesn't want to deal with Liu Goat and them, but he doesn't know what to say, Xie Bo has always wanted to pull himself into the army, and if he joins the army, he will definitely join Xie Bo's company. If he was still Tang Cheng a month ago, he didn't say it, I am afraid that he would have jumped up and followed Liu Goat a long time ago, but now Tang Cheng has not only lost Robert who cares about him, but also experienced the tragic battlefield that has always been said by Robert, and now Tang Cheng is no longer so keen on joining the army.
Tang Cheng was a little inexplicable about Liu Goat's words, it seemed that Liu Goat had only spoken twice when he entered his room, and the words did not reveal the purpose of coming to the door, where he came from, and what reaction he had. "Well, I don't know what you guys are here for? As long as I can do it, Tang Cheng will definitely find a way to help you. Tang Cheng also thought that Liu Goat came to the door to pull himself into the army, but Liu Goat and his party did not show such a meaning until now, he thought that he was letting himself lead the way for them, after all, the national army is now fighting with the Japanese, isn't it.
"You kid is really good, I said that the company commander was injured and lying in the hospital, and you didn't even have a word of greeting?" Liu Goat, who stared at Tang Cheng, secretly thought that Xie Bo was not worth it, and Xie Bo was so injured that he was still thinking about this little guy, and he was shocked to death. "Our company commander, it's your eldest brother Xie Bo who is injured and is lying in the hospital now, he wants to see you and ask you when you have time to go, in fact, according to me, it is most appropriate to go now, don't wait for another day."
A few boys who came together received Liu Goat's suggestive eyes, and immediately swarmed Tang Cheng out of the room, if Liu Goat hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid these boys would have dragged Tang Cheng who was still wearing slippers and pajamas directly into the car. When Tang Cheng changed his clothes, he wanted to bring a shell gun under his pillow, but after thinking about it, he hid the gun under the bed, this is still the hospital that treats the national army, and it is not a Longtan tiger's den, so he can't go out with a gun.
"Do you know it, how miserable our battle is, less than 30 of the more than 100 brothers in the entire company survived, the company deputy was killed in battle, and the company commander was injured, if it wasn't for the small lock to block a shot for Lao Tzu, I'm afraid you kid wouldn't be able to see Lao Tzu now." Liu Goat, who was nesting in the carriage with Tang Cheng, uncovered the front of his shirt, and the gauze wrapped around his chest had already oozing blood. "Two shots, Lao Tzu's life is big, he didn't die after two shots, if he doesn't die in a big disaster, there will be a blessing in the future, maybe Lao Tzu will also be mixed up in the future."
Liu Goat became more and more energetic the more he spoke, and smiled at the cow baby in the carriage, "Niu baby, you just think I am a godfather, if Lao Tzu becomes a seat, he will take care of your boy, how about giving you a platoon leader?" Walking on the empty street was full of Liu Goat's arrogant laughter, but the careful Tang Cheng used the light from the street lamp to shine into the carriage, and it was obvious that although Liu Goat was laughing non-stop, what was revealed on his face was a deep sadness, so thick that it could not be dissolved.
"Don't look at it, Uncle Liu will laugh like this when he feels uncomfortable, we only came back 32 people in a row, and more than half of them are crippled, and Uncle Liu's injury is still the lightest one. Our company commander has not eaten or drunk for three days now, and if it weren't for the close attention of our company, the company commander would have hit the wall and killed himself. Niu Wazi quietly kicked Tang Cheng and whispered in his ear.
"Don't look at me, I'm carrying a stretcher, that is, a few of us carried our company commander all the way to the hospital, and then Uncle Liu asked us if we wanted to follow him to carry guns and food, anyway, several of our families are also dead, so we just messed with Uncle Liu for a few days to eat, or we wouldn't be able to wear this brand new military shoes." The honest-looking Niu Wazi showed Tang Cheng the new army shoes on his feet, and after being glared at by Liu Goat, Niu Wazi stupidly put back the feet that came to Tang Cheng.
"Don't listen to Niu Wazi, fight, how can there be immortals, Lao Tzu has seen more dead people than you have seen living people, isn't it good to live." Liu Goat smashed the cigarette case crumpled into paper bullets on Niu Wazi's head, and the latter quickly took out a pack of unopened cigarettes from his jacket pocket and handed it over. "This good cigarette of the dog day is to smoke vigorously, and when it was 128, Lao Tzu's company also fought with the little devils in Shanghai. At that time, Lao Tzu was surrounded and beaten by two squadrons of Japanese soldiers, and even the cigarette butt was gone, and Lao Tzu rolled the leaves to smoke, which was not easy to smoke, and it was hot when it entered the throat, and it was still enjoyable to smoke this good cigarette. ”
Liu Goat's shriveled voice seemed to tell Tang Cheng about the past again, and it was like his own self-talk, Tang Cheng suddenly had a trace of respect for this old soldier who opened his mouth to swear, and he could hear that he had fought many battles, and even had his share in the two wars with the Japanese army in Shanghai. "Our company commander is from a serious Huangpu background, and he is the protégé of the chairman of the committee, we old things who should have died a long time ago are going to die here, but our company commander is still young and has a great future, he shouldn't die here, he shouldn't die." Liu Goat, who was talking to himself, suddenly hissed and shouted like crazy, and Tang Cheng could even see the tear stains flowing from between Liu Goat's fingers.
"Little brother, I forgot what your name was, but our company commander knew it, and he said that you are a good one, then you are a good one." Liu Goat's frenzied shouting only lasted for a short time before the rain subsided, but his next words made Tang Cheng feel embarrassed.
"Our company commander is now seriously wounded, missing an arm and an eye, even if he recovers from his injuries, the army will not let him go to the battlefield again, so the company commander is bent on death, and he has not eaten or drunk for three days. I thought that since the company commander values you, can you help us persuade the company commander, no matter what he asks you to do, you should come down first, and then everyone will sum it up, what do you think? "Tang Cheng's heart was bitter as if he had swallowed two catties of Coptis chinensis, you all got me on the truck, now that I say this, I can not agree.
