The Family and the Country Chapter 37 The Past

There are surprises in everything!

Although the moon on May 15 was round, the sky was thick with clouds, and the moonlight was filtered by the clouds, leaving only a gray shimmer, and the sky and the earth were still dark. This made Yang Rui, who wanted to rush to the county seat at night, smile bitterly: It's so dark, how can you walk on the road? What if I get lost? Yang Rui was thinking about the night's itinerary, and Yang Wuming was gnawing a piece of military No. 1 dry food, even if he disliked the military dry food after eating two tons of sweet potatoes, he ate it with relish at this time.

"Is it delicious?" In the extremely dark and stuffy green gauze tent, Yang Rui couldn't see his son's expression, he could only hear the sound of his teeth and chewing. He stroked his son's head, then straightened his body armor, and there was an indescribable love in his movements.

"Hmm." Yang Wuming obviously doesn't care about his father's love, the more he eats sweet potatoes in his little belly, the more Russian he becomes, and now this dry food is the best taste in the world, comparable to the fried rice he wants.

"Commander......" Ye Yunbiao put a magazine on the curved ruler pistol, he wanted to say something but didn't know how to speak, whether to open or not.

"It doesn't feel right, does it?" Yang Rui, who had cold hairs on his back that suddenly stood up, said what he didn't say, and he couldn't look at it in the dark, but he could still feel Ye Yunbiao nodding heavily, his brows were twisted together, and his face was also sad.

"It feels like you're being targeted." Ye Yunbiao said, "I'm afraid I'll ...... as soon as I go out."

"It's not that bad." Yang Rui smiled bitterly. When he looked at the plane during the day, there were a lot of green yarn tents in this place, and he didn't believe that the peasants and soldiers could find him so quickly. "I didn't hear the dog bark. Without the dogs, they couldn't have found us so quickly. ”

"Maybe." Ye Yunbiao did not insist on his own point of view, he just put forward his own plan: "Commander." I think it's better to go in two ways, you take Nameless and Taozi with you. I was in a group with Zhou Baoheng. I'll go first, and then you'll go. ”

"I'm ......," Yang Rui took a breath. If it was just him, he would never agree to this arrangement, this is a division of troops, but considering his son, he finally nodded after a pause: "Okay, I agree." Grenades, you all have them. ”

"I gave Taozi two, and the rest is here." Ye Yunbiao's voice was more relaxed, and he deliberately patted his waist, and the grenades were 'pop, pop' by him.

After Yang Wuming finished eating the half of the dry food, he knocked out the previously captured peasant soldiers again. And so the action began. Ye Yunbiao, who was the first, tried his best to hold on to the rustling corn stalks, and led everyone to the sow river with their memories. After crossing the river is Wangtuan Village, and the village is thirty miles south of the county seat. Of course, these people can't go this way, they should go farther along the river, bypass Wang Tuan and then go south, so that it is possible to avoid the peasant soldiers.

Walking in the green gauze tent was like rampage in the quilt blindfolded, and when everyone was sweating and panting, Ye Yunbiao in front beckoned everyone to stop, and he had already arrived at the outermost part of the green gauze tent at this time. In a moonless night. Through the uneven blackness, he could feel that there were pools of sweet potato or peanut fields outside, and farther away it was pitch black, and he didn't know what it was; But except for the barking of dogs in distant villages. Faintly, he could still hear the faint sound of running water, maybe not far away was the sow river.

Didn't speak. Ye Yunbiao acted according to what he said before, and he patted Zhou Baoheng on the shoulder. The two of them immediately touched their waists. Standing at the end of the green gauze tent, Yang Wuming suddenly pulled Yang Rui's arm and whispered, "Father." I'm afraid ......"

"Afraid of what? Don't be afraid. Yang Rui whispered comfort, after all, he was only a thirteen-year-old child.

"Can't you make peace with them?" Yang said namelessly. He only regarded today's one-day experience as a 'battle' between children in the capital in the past, and he thought it was inappropriate to announce a boycott and come back another day.

"I can't." Yang Rui turned his head and said in a deep voice, then patted him on the face and said, "If you are afraid, you will definitely be laughed at if you spread it." Remember your sister Rebecca, who personally commanded the troops to fight in your Uncle Ray's absence, and won the war, and none of the German soldiers disobeyed her. Don't you want to be like her? ”

The tomboy Rebecca has always been the head of the princelings in the capital, and as soon as she left, the originally united 'team' was immediately torn apart. Yang Rui's encouragement made Yang Wuming suddenly have some courage, but he was still lacking in energy after a day of sleepiness and hunger. I only heard him say, "But... But ......"

As he was talking, he suddenly 'boomed... Boom...''Bang... Bang...' There were loud bangs, and the gunfire was followed by the shouts of countless people: "Kill Cao Guizhong!" Don't leave Cao Guizhong...... Kill Cao 100,000 ......"

"Damn! There is an ambush! When Yang Rui was dumbfounded, Taozi next to him scolded in a low voice, although the torches on that side were lit up one after another, but he did not raise his gun, but pulled Yang Rui and said, "Commander, let's go on the other side." ”

'Boom! This was the sound of a grenade exploding, Yang Rui looked at the flames and was reluctant to leave, "What should they do?" ”

"Hey! Commander!! Taozi is not a person who is good at words, he hugged Yang Wuming and drilled into the green gauze tent, so that Yang Rui had to drill with him. Two headless flies scurried around for a while, and they could no longer distinguish between east and west.

After running for a long time and hiding for a long time, in the haze, Yang Rui, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly heard a few screams and curses: "...... Throw your mother ......, do you know who is arrested? It's the Prime Minister... It's the Prime Minister! It's Yang Jingcheng! …… Yes! You people are dead...... Ahhh............h I'll lose your mother...... Ahhh Sorry for your ......"

"It's the Canton guy." There was a hint of joy in Taozi's tone, he didn't believe that the captain would die.

Yang Rui's hand pressed against Yang Wuming's ear, but even so, Yang Wuming could still hear itβ€”his head shrunk into Yang Rui's arms. At this time, Zhou Baoheng's scream was extremely fierce, which made Yang Rui imagine that he was being tortured by the rusty spearhead at this time-the spear-wielding peasant soldiers kept stirring the spearhead in his body to increase his pain, so that he couldn't help but scream.

"Cao Guizhong, you can't run away, it's better to surrender quickly, so that a whole corpse can be ......" When Yang Rui couldn't bear to listen carefully, there was a Jiaodong Chinese outside. Judging from the purity of the Chinese language, this should be an official speaking. "Don't hide, I see you. Don't think about the thousands of troops coming to save you. This is not your realm ......, even if you are really Yang Jingcheng. I have to die here, too! You know, the capital has changed. The surname of the world is Cai and not Yang, how can Premier Cai rest assured if you don't die......"

The shouters were very loud, and it was clear from the captured pilots that they knew the truth of the matter. But the strange thing is that now that they know the truth, why do these people put themselves to death? Yang Rui couldn't figure it out. Is it because of the 100,000 yuan bounty, and there is no 100,000 yuan if you let yourself go?

Yang Rui was thinking about it, and Taozi said on the side. "Commander, I'll lure them away! You and Nameless will go to the river," he then pointed in a direction, and then stuffed the military compass and two grenades into Yang Rui's hand, and then said: "Commander, take care, Taozi is your soldier whether he lives or dies!" ”

"Don't say anything like that!" Yang Rui's heart was agitated, and his eyes were still hot in the embarrassment and sleepiness, and he almost burst into tears. "Listen, you have to give me Yang Jingcheng to live!"

"Yes. Commander! With a 'whew', Taozi gave a military salute, and then turned around without waiting for Yang Rui to return the salute, not for a while. The crisp sound of the sniper rifle came, and then the voice of those peasant soldiers: "Don't go Cao Guizhong, don't go Cao 100,000 ......"

Grabbing Yang Wuming's hand, he trembled violently. It took a while for Yang Rui to calm down, and he pulled the bolt of Bai Langning's pistol and said in a deep voice. "Follow me, don't be left behind!"

Yang Wuming was already tied to Yang Rui at this time. As soon as Yang Rui left, he was naturally restrained by the belt and walked forward. The father and son walked with their heads covered for I don't know how long, and just when they thought they were in the wrong direction, a cool breeze blew, and the green gauze tent came to an end.

"Can you hold it?" Yang Rui gasped and asked, at this time he suddenly found that he was already in his forties, although he ran in the morning and practiced every day, but he no longer had the physical strength that he had when he ran at night twenty years ago.

"Hmm!" Yang Wuming responded, he was still in the fright of the previous gunfire at this time, and he did not come back to his senses.

"Remember, those people will show no mercy no matter who we are, they are going to kill us." Yang Rui gasped for a while, and began his final instructions, "If we get separated, go down the river, don't be afraid." You have dry food, water, and a thousand dollars in your bag. Remember, money must not be exposed! Also, don't trust the farmers, let alone expect them to help! ”

"Father, if you don't believe in the peasants, who should you believe?" The naked reality is alarming, and Yang Wuming suddenly asked.

"I believe those landlords who wear silk, silk, and satin," Yang Rui said helplessly, "but don't say that you are my son, they hate your father for taking their land, you just say that your surname is Cheng, you are Cantonese, and you have to say to people the vernacular that your mother taught you, that you are separated from your family." Also, you must not go to Beijing, you should go south to Hong Kong and Guangdong to find your grandfather and them. ”

"Remembered?" Yang Rui asked again after instructing. I don't care if my son remembers it.

"Hmm." Yang Wuming couldn't see his expression, but his head was still focused.

"Let's go!" Yang Rui looked up at the moon that was still covered by clouds, and resolutely rushed out of the green gauze tent - after listening to the shouts of the peasant soldiers just now, he didn't want to go to Wendeng County at this time, he just wanted to go to the beach along the sow river, and then find a fishing boat to go to North Korea, or go to Shanghai and Hong Kong, where it would be safe.

Maybe it was because two groups of people in a row led away the peasant soldiers, Yang Rui walked very smoothly at the beginning, but when he and Yang Wuming waded across the sow river and went downstream, they saw dense torches, heard the ups and downs of the dog barking, and even once, a team of peasant soldiers walked over the ditch where he was hiding, these people hurriedly didn't care about what was hidden under their feet, and everyone hurried to the other side of the river to catch 'Cao 100,000' or 'Yang 100,000'.

Yang Rui, who was lucky not to be discovered, heard the nickname 'Yang 100,000', and suddenly felt that this money was not as good as one-tenth of what the Manchu Qing Dynasty gave back then. If the Manchu Qing Dynasty had also mobilized the peasants more than ten years ago and offered a reward of one million for their lives, then with their enthusiasm now, they would have died long ago. The peasants were thrilled with 100,000 Chinese yuan, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty had no such effect, was this because the peasants dared to act, or the gentry shrank back?

"Father......" On the edge of the dark ditch, Yang Wuming, who saw that Yang Rui had not moved for a long time, and was becoming more and more accustomed to this game, exclaimed in surprise.

"Let's go!" Yang Rui restrained what he thought and put his mind in action. It's all about escaping. However, as soon as they climbed the ridge, a dark shadow rushed over, and although the night was dark, Yang Rui could see its ghostly green eyes. Listening to the roaring and angry sound of 'Mmmmmm...', this is obviously a dirt dog. It was grinning at the two strangers in front of it.

"Killed... It! Yang Wuming was startled, but realized that it was a dog. You have to pull out your gun.

"Can't!" Yang Rui hurriedly stopped him. Once the gun is fired, the peasant soldiers will surround him again. "Throw it a piece of dry food."

'Hmm......' The earth dog saw that the two people were frightened and didn't dare to move, and the smug 'Wang's ......' barked wildly. As soon as it barked, more dogs in the vicinity began to bark. It's useless to throw dry food, Yang Rui suddenly flew up and kicked over, the earth dog was looking back left and right to find support, I didn't want the person in front of me to be scared and dared to kick, and when I ate it, the bark suddenly became 'mmmmmmmmmm It's not like the previous 'Wang Wang ......', and seeing these two people running away, they didn't chase after them.

Panting for a long distance, he was glad that he had escaped his pursuers when a row of torches suddenly lit up in front of him. A voice shouted: "Yang Jingcheng, you can't run, just tie your hands and surrender!" ”

Yang Rui was taken aback, and then hurriedly pulled Yang Wuming to lie down together. At this time, the voice continued: "Yang Jingcheng, don't run. The whole county is arresting you. You can't run! ”

"Who are you? Since you know that I am Yang Jingcheng, you dare to arrest me? Yang Rui counted the other party's torches and quickly thought about how to escape; The other side questioned loudly, wanting to see what the other party had in mind.

"Let me tell you, I'm Yao Eryou from Song Village. Captain of the County Patrol Team! That voice actually reported its identity, which made Yang Rui's brows tighter, but he heard Yao Eryou say again: "Why do you want to arrest you?" One does not do, two does not stop. Since the person who has killed you has already been killed, it is only right that you should be killed together. I've killed you. Kill you, Premier Cai will be happy.

Yang Jingcheng, you better surrender. Tell you the truth. The whole county has been mobilized, and now you are in the 'vast sea of peasants' that you said in your previous documents, and (you) cannot escape! Surrender and die happily, if you don't surrender, I promise you will scream for hours like your entourage, ......"

'Pap, papa, pap......' fired a few shots in succession, and Yang Rui, who was getting more and more angry, couldn't help but fire at the torch, but there was already a guard over there, not only did these shots not hit people, but also provoked the other party's counterattack. This time, it was no longer a bird gun, but a 'bang' standard rifle, and as long as a 7mm bullet hit one, it would have to be accounted for here.

In the splash of mud, Yang Rui was so pressed by more than ten rifles that he couldn't raise his head, and when he saw that the other party was suppressed by himself, he only heard Yao Eryou shouting again, "Kill Yang and get a reward of 50,000 oceans!" Rush! Rush! Rush! ”

Hearing that there was a charge over there, Yang Rui immediately looked at the opposite side, and when he saw a few people rushing up, he threw a stone in his hand high. When the patrolmen saw a black object suddenly thrown from the opposite side, one of them immediately shouted, "Grenade! Get down! ”

Ye Yunbiao took away six grenades, leaving two for Taozi, and Taozi gave them all to Yang Rui. The six grenades had always inflicted great losses on the peasants and patrolmen, and as soon as this man shouted, not only the people who rushed to him fell down, but also the people who put the guns behind them. After all, it was a stone that could be thrown, and if it didn't blow up for a long time, someone immediately stood up suspiciously.

Yang Rui was waiting for this time, 'Papa...', the trigger was pulled continuously, and the four remaining bullets in the magazine were all gone, and the two patrolmen who stood up immediately fell to the ground. Yang Rui shot, Yang Wuming also learned to put a gun, but he was young after all, and when he shot out, his arm was bulleted, and when the guns were suppressed again, Yang Rui pulled him to lie down in the ridge of the peanut field.

"He doesn't have a grenade! He didn't have grenades! Suddenly, someone cleverly shouted loudly. Yang Rui just listened attentively, estimating the time in his heart, and when the gunfire on the opposite side fell down again, the oval grenade in his hand was suddenly thrown high. Because of the lesson of the last fake grenade, the patrol officers who rushed over this time were defenseless, but this time the grenade was real, and they only heard 'Boom! There was a loud bang, and several patrol officers were blown up on the spot.

Killed several people on the other side one after another, and the hope of escaping was getting bigger and bigger, Yang Rui was about to transfer, when Yang Wuming, who was half-raised to see the grenade explode, suddenly shook his body, and several other bullets also hit the ridges of the field - these bullets were all fired from behind.

"Nameless! Nameless! Yang Rui, who was lying down, was close to his son, and as soon as his body shook Yang Rui, he felt that he had been shot, and when he touched his place that was not covered by body armor, wet blood was coming out. He immediately panicked, and after aimlessly emptying a magazine in the back, he quickly took out a hemostatic sponge to stop his son's bleeding.

"It's fine. You'll be fine......" Although the gunshots were on the side, Yang Rui couldn't care about these anymore. He pressed down on the hemostatic sponge and began to bandage. While talking to Yang Wuming, in the dark, he couldn't see clearly whether his eyes were struggling or closing. He could only judge from his words, "Your mother is still waiting for us to go back, your sister will be born next month, and you haven't named her yet......"

Yang Rui was so focused on his son that he didn't care about his own safety, and he didn't hear the single, incomparably crisp gunfire from the west side - this was the sound of a sniper rifle, someone was suppressing the patrol with the faint light of the torch, and when the last torch was extinguished, the gunfire stopped.

After a long time. Yang Rui found his comrades in the west, but he couldn't think about whether it was Taozi covering him or Ye Yunbiao covering himself, taking advantage of the fact that the patrolmen were suppressed by sniper rifles, he picked up Yang Wuming and ran in the field regardless of the height. At this time, the sniper rifle rang out intermittently - the dark clouds that had covered the moon for most of the night were finally blown open by the wind, and the white moonlight sprinkled down, illuminating everything in the world.

Life is only left for Yang Rui at this time: running. He no longer wanted to go to the beach to find a fishing boat, but to go to the county seat to the south as soon as possible, and he remembered that he had been strongly requested by the medical department Shangshu Wu Lian four years ago. The Prime Minister's decree was signed agreeing to open joint venture county hospitals in each county. According to the scale described in it, in addition to traditional Chinese medicine, there are also Western medicine in the hospital, and there will be surgery in Western medicine. If there is surgery, he will definitely be able to save his son...... and he will never let the nameless die here!

Keep running, if you can't run, just walk for a while and take a break. And then run ......, and so on and so forth. When you can't run no matter how hard you roar, take advantage of the dawn of the morning. Yang Rui saw the county seat not far away.

In the telescope, there are many undressed men standing on the city wall more than two feet high, all of them carrying guns in their hands, and their movements are very non-standard. And under the dilapidated half-tiled castle tower was a narrow doorway, and above the doorway was inlaid with the word 'Kunlun', which was probably the name of the city gate, and under the gate hole were also the miscellaneous soldiers on the city wall, who were checking the people who passed by--not checking those who went out of the city, but the vegetable farmers and traders who entered the city were inspected very carefully, not only searching, but also pouring the vegetables in front of them.

As in other local cities, in addition to the high walls, the moats under the walls were part of the city's defenses. Wenden was no exception, the moat was more than two feet wide, and there were a few soldiers with guns on the outside of the wooden bridge, although this was not the focus of the inspection, but some suspicious people would be checked as well. Yang Rui didn't understand the logic of these soldiers, but judging from the corpses of tax policemen hanging on the city wall, these people were obviously not good. But in order to save his son, he doesn't care about throwing himself into the net - he firmly believes that there will always be a way!

Far away, after throwing all the eye-catching and undesirable things such as binoculars and pistols into the grass, Yang Rui only took a set of documents learned from the later film war king, and then did not shy away from being noticed, and shouted 'help' while carrying Yang Wuming on his back, while hurriedly running to the wooden bridge by the moat. As he had imagined, as soon as he approached the bridge, the soldiers shouted with their guns: "Stop! Hold it! If you run again, you'll shoot! With the sound of the bolt being pulled, not only at the head of the bridge, but also on the side of the city gate, some of the timid people either bowed down and screamed, or drilled into the city gate.

Facing the black muzzle, Yang Rui had to stand firmly, raised his hand and looked at the soldiers, he said anxiously: "My son was shot, I want to go into the city to find a doctor!" Deliver him. ”

After running for most of the night, Yang Rui's face was covered with sweat, mud, and a little blood - the leaves in the green gauze tent cut a lot of cuts on his face, and these cuts were soaked in sweat, which made people feel pain and the wound was slightly swollen. But he doesn't think that this can be fooled, after all, he is 'Yang 100,000', he just wants Nameless to survive.

Yang Rui thought so about himself, but the soldiers in front of him had another opinion, this tall foreigner, his whole body was embarrassed, his face was full of panic, and he was not a local when he heard the accent, but the half-adult he was carrying on his back was half covered in blood - he obviously didn't lie, it was really his son who was shot and ran to the city to find a doctor to save his life.

"Who are you? How did you get to Wenden? How did your son get shot? A young man who was in a good mood for the first time immediately asked.

"I ......" Yang Rui slowly showed the set of prepared documents, and lied: "I am from the south, I am engaged in fruit business in Shanghai, and I came to Wendeng to see apples." Who knows... Who knew someone was shooting indiscriminately in the middle of the night......"

"And what about your luggage?" The little white face got closer, looked at Yang Rui carefully, and then took the document in his hand, opened it and smiled ambiguously when he saw a stack of Hua Yuan inside, he used the photo on the document to match the person, and finally read: "Xiao... Xiao Bailang ...... and looked at the business card again and said: "The No. 8 stall of the sixteen-shop fruit wholesale market in Shanghai Special City is ......, and the fresh fruit wholesale in the north and south is wholesale."

When the little white-faced soldier read the words 'Xiao Bailang', Yang Rui smiled anxiously, "It's down." Please make it easier for my son......"

"Hmm!" Miraculously, Xiao Baimian quickly grabbed the stack of Hua Yuan in his hand, stuffed it into his gown, and then handed the documents back. But this is not over, he said again: "Say it out loud, Yang is a bastard!" Revival will be a bastard! The Renaissance Army is a bastard! ”

"Ahh Yang Rui's heart was shocked when he said the word 'Yang Jingcheng', and finally heard him scold himself, the Fuxing Association, and the Fuxing Army, and he was still at a loss and didn't know what he was going to do.

"To say or not to say?" The little white face who received the money was still as vicious as ever, and the oblique muzzle of the gun was about to be turned around.

"Yang is a bastard! Revival will be a bastard! The Renaissance Army is a bastard! Fuck these people don't want to die! Yang Rui immediately scolded loudly.

Seeing that he scolded extremely fluently, without hesitation, and added special ingredients, Xiao Baimian was immediately satisfied, he put away the gun in his hand and turned to the soldiers behind him and said loudly: "It's okay, it's just a foreign fruit seller, let him go!" (To be continued.) )
