Chapter 34: Spotted

What shocked Tang Cheng was not the injuries on Xie Bo's body, but the confusion revealed in Xie Bo's intact eyes, and Tang Cheng even wondered if the man covered in gauze was the Xie Bo he knew. How high-spirited Xie Bo was a month ago, how arrogant and domineering he was when he provoked those two Japanese sentries at the Baoshan intersection, but now Xie Bo, who appeared in Tang Cheng's sight, had completely changed.

Tang Cheng didn't say that Xie Bo, who was covered in gauze, was not the original Xie Bo, he was just frightened by Xie Bo's eyes, the Xie Bo in front of him was full of decadence and death, Tang Cheng didn't know what happened to Lu Dao, which would make the once fierce and high-spirited Xie Bo look like this. "There are only 30 brothers left in our company who have been beaten, and more than half of them have become wasted people who can no longer go to the battlefield, and the company commander is bitter." Liu Goat, who endured the pain, whispered in Tang Cheng's ear.

"That day, little brother, you took us to the concession again, and the company commander marked the layout in the Japanese concession, but the information submitted was not taken seriously, and when our company served as the leading task and fought with the Japanese marines, our company was blocked by the Japanese army and fought for a whole day, and several of them died on that day." Ignoring the nurse's round eyes, Liu Goat lit the cigarette in his hand with an indifferent expression, as if the rising smell of tobacco could dilute some of the sadness in his heart.

"What are you staring at Lao Tzu's hands? Lao Tzu, this injury is not healed yet, it hurts. Seeing Tang Cheng staring intently at his trembling hands, Liu Goat's old face turned red and explained in disguise. In fact, Liu Goat's injuries were far more serious than what he told Tang Cheng, not only was he shot in the chest, but even his arm was hit by shrapnel from the Japanese grenade. Half a month of treatment and recuperation only made other wounds on his body better, but the injury on his arm was still the same, and the back and forth bending and stretching of his arm while smoking made the wound on his arm start to ache again.

"Fighting is a dead man" Tang Cheng's reaction made Liu Goat dumbfounded, he didn't brag to those little nurses about the things on the battlefield in the hospital, the young people were very interested in the things of the war, but Tang Cheng, who was obviously the same age as those nurses, had such a cold reaction, which really surprised Liu Goat. Liu Goat just paid attention to Tang Cheng's reaction but didn't notice Tang Cheng's eyes, he didn't know that the young Tang Cheng had also experienced a life-and-death battlefield for two days and two nights, and that experience was just as tragic.

"You're here" Tang Cheng and Liu Goat's conversation woke up Xie Bo, who was deep in thought, and glanced at Tang Cheng with his intact eyes, and Xie Bo's face finally had some light. Rejecting Liu Goat's help, Xie Bo tried his best to prop up his body with one arm and move backwards until his back rested on the head of the bed, "After sending you back that day, I sent someone to the church once, and I also heard about Father Robert, but the brother who sent to the church said that he didn't see you, but fortunately, we met again." ”

Looking at Xie Bo's bloodshot eyes, Tang Cheng didn't know what to say for a while, but standing in front of Xie Bo's hospital bed like this made Tang Cheng a little at a loss. "Isn't it scary to look like me right now?" Xie Bo is not only covered in gauze, but his entire face is wrapped in gauze, revealing only the intact eyes and mouth, if it weren't for Xie Bo's ability to speak, any clear-eyed person would probably think Xie Bo is a corpse.

"It's okay" Tang Cheng finally reacted to Xie Bo, but his answer surprised Xie Bo a little, "I have also been lying in the hospital for more than half a month, and there are many wounded soldiers in and out of that hospital, and there are several in my ward. Xie Bo and Liu Goat, who was standing beside Tang Cheng, glanced at each other, and then turned his head to look at Tang Cheng in unison, Tang Cheng was standing in front of them now, and there seemed to be no signs of injury, so how could he stay in the hospital for half a month?

Touching his nose with some embarrassment, Tang Cheng said slowly, "I went to a friend's house before, and when I came back, I was just in time for the Japanese plane bombing, and when I woke up, I was sent to the hospital, fortunately, my injuries were not very serious, and the doctor said that everything was almost all right, and it was the same when I went back to the church to recuperate." Tang Cheng lifted the back hem of his clothes to show Liu Goat and Xie Bo the shrapnel scar on his waist, Liu Goat and Xie Bo, who were born in the military, naturally knew a lot about shrapnel wounds, but they couldn't figure out such a big scar As for Tang Cheng to stay in the hospital for half a month?

"Little brother, you take off all your shirts, I'll take a look." Xie Bo didn't say anything, but Liu Goat, who was standing beside Tang Cheng, couldn't bear it, just a suggestive look, and Niu Wazi, who was sitting in the corner of the ward wiping his gun, walked over and looked at Tang Cheng at a loss. They saw that something was abnormal, and Tang Cheng regretted that he shouldn't have told him about his hospitalization, otherwise Liu Goat wouldn't be suspicious enough to let him take off his shirt.

"Niu Baby, you help him." Liu Goat, who was still a brother to Tang Cheng in the church, suddenly changed color, and directly clamped one of Tang Cheng's arms with his left hand, and asked the cow baby standing beside Tang Cheng to take off Tang Cheng's shirt. Tang Cheng used his free arm to push the cow baby and struggled hard, trying to break free of Liu Goat's control, but unfortunately Liu Goat's arm was like an iron tong that Tang Cheng couldn't break free.

"Tsk, little brother, it seems that you are not telling the truth." Tang Cheng's shirt was completely peeled off by Niu Wazi, and Liu Goat let go of his hand and walked around the cramped Tang Cheng with a sigh, "Good guy, the scars on this kid's body are about to catch up with Lao Tzu, look and see, it's not just shrapnel wounds, but also scars made by bayonets." Tang Cheng and Niu Wazi accidentally exposed the scars on their ribs when they were pushing, and they were seen by Liu Goat.

Tang Cheng, who was a little embarrassed, snatched back his shirt from Niu Wazi's hand, and glared at Niu Wazi with annoyance, he was a little glad that Liu Goat just forcibly stripped his shirt, if they saw the gunshot wound on his thigh, I don't know how Liu Goat would react. However, Tang Cheng's happiness didn't last for a few seconds, and he was shocked by Liu Goat's next words, "I said that you kid said it yourself, or should I let Niu Wazi peel off your pants again?" "Since the cunning Liu Goat has found bayonet wounds on Tang Cheng's body, Bin will not easily believe that Tang Cheng only has these scars on his body.

"I used to go to the Bazi Bridge with some friends to work in the army, and it turned out that a national army unit needed a guide, so I went, but I encountered the Japanese army halfway through, and I was the only one who survived in the entire company." Seeing Xie Bo and Liu Goat staring at him intently, Tang Cheng had no choice but to continue, "I woke up unconscious by a grenade and was in a security company, and followed them to fight with the Japanese army for two days and two nights at a street corner, and this time I was the only one who survived, and later helped the Red Cross people save people from the fire and encountered the Japanese army, and was injured and sent to the hospital." ”

Tang Cheng remembered what Robert had confessed before he died, he only told five points of truth when he met people, and never showed his whole thing to others. Therefore, when Tang Cheng explained these scars on his body, he only said that he acted as a guide and fought against the Japanese army with the security company, and even Tang Cheng even said that he killed the five Japanese soldiers alone, but he did not say that he assassinated three Japanese in the sushi restaurant in the concession, because Tang Cheng subconsciously believed that the three Japanese were just civilians, and they were not soldiers.

"I'll just say, how could such a half-grown kid get such a wound, the feeling is that he has already fought with the little devil with a gun, hehe, it's kind of interesting." Liu Shanyang turned around and looked at Xie Bo, and only the two of them could understand the meaning. Previously, Xie Bo's interest in Tang Cheng was only because Tang Cheng could read and write Japanese, but what Tang Cheng just told aroused Liu Goat's interest, if what Tang Cheng just said was true, then Tang Cheng could make an old soldier like Liu Goat look at it differently just by killing five Japanese soldiers alone.

Xie Bo, who was lying on the hospital bed, already believed Tang Cheng, because he noticed that Tang Cheng's tone was very calm when he recounted the whole thing, as if he was talking about something very ordinary in daily life. What's more, when Tang Cheng called the Japanese army, he didn't call the Japanese or Japanese soldiers like those civilians, but the name of the officers in the army - the Japanese army, Xie Bo was already sure from this title that what Tang Cheng just said was true, and the two days and two nights of the defensive battle that Tang Cheng said could be recorded and traced, and these things could not deceive people.

"Since your kid is a man who has fought and seen blood, why don't you just follow our company commander to fight the little devil, anyway, you are also a lonely person now, grandma doesn't love your uncle, right? Captain? Liu Goat winked at Tang Cheng, then turned around and looked at Xie Bo, "I think it's better to give this kid a first-class soldier directly, the guy who dares to kill 5 Japanese soldiers alone, and the rank of a second-class soldier is a bit unusual." Liu Goat's self-talk made Tang Cheng speechless, he seemed to be already a first-class soldier, why was he demoted by Shengsheng to a level here?

Xu saw Tang Cheng's displeasure, Xie Bo explained with a smile, "Little brother, your security company must be a ragtag company, I guess that your senior soldier is just that bullshit company commander casually said, you people who were temporarily dragged into the battlefield may not be in the sequence list of the national army." Our first-class soldier is a real thing of real money, he has entered the list of the national army, and he has a pension for the dead and wounded in battle, and we are a German armor division, and we are the descendants of the national army, and it is easy to be promoted, as long as you kill more Japanese soldiers, you will definitely be promoted. ”
