Chapter 11: Vigilance

The other party has already expressed his goodwill, Liu Goat naturally can't help but say it, and then the major stood aside, Liu Goat whispered that he belonged to the 88th Division and found more than 30 Sichuan troops. Liu Shanyang didn't expect this logistics major of the 87th Division to make any statement, he just made a false impression to the other defeated soldiers, and he Liu Shanyang and this major could talk.

The major who was pushed out by everyone was originally just a member of the 87th Division to manage logistics, and he was good at polite words, but he was invincible in the face of a bloody guy like Liu Goat. After learning that Liu Goat belonged to the 88th Division, the major immediately said that he wanted Liu Goat to make his own decision, as for how the major of the 87th Division would come here with a squad of soldiers, Liu Goat didn't want to know too much.

I don't know what the logistics major of the 87th Division of Ludao said to take back the routed soldiers, in short, the defeated soldiers who were mixed in no longer stared at Tang Cheng with fierce eyes. No longer stared at by the defeated soldiers, Tang Cheng's feet, who suddenly felt relaxed, slumped on the ground, and then fainted as soon as his eyes were black. Tang Cheng's leg just didn't deteriorate, it didn't mean that it had healed, when he jumped off the carriage in a panic just now, the wound on his leg had already broken open and bleeding, which would suddenly relax, and Tang Cheng fainted.

The smell of rice in his nose pulled Tang Cheng out of his drowsiness, and when he opened his eyes, he was lying in a pile of soft grass wrapped in a military coat, and turned his head to look at his side in a daze, and there were nine catties and Liu goats lying in the pile of soft grass. Getting up and sitting up from the soft grass, Tang Cheng saw clearly that he was in a room, the old and young of the Tian family were sitting around the fire in the middle of the room to warm up and whisper, seeing that Tang Cheng woke up by himself, Tian Kui and Lao Xu immediately came over to cut Tang Cheng's pulse and measure his temperature.

"Let's drink some porridge first, and when we see that you haven't woken up, we'll eat it first, which is left for the three of you alone." Seeing that everything was normal in Tang City, Tian Kui carried a clay pot from the fire, and inside was boiled rice porridge. Tang Cheng, who was already hungry, was not polite, after pouring a bowl of rice porridge, Tang Cheng, who was full of warmth, got up and stood up, according to the usual practice, Tang Cheng still straddled his two shell guns diagonally on his body, one left and one right, and the spare magazine was also inserted in the leather bullet bag.

"Where are we?" Tang Cheng's voice was a little hoarse, but it didn't prevent him from talking to Tian Kui, although the latter couldn't hear it very clearly. Tang Cheng knew that Liu Goat had promised to escort Tian Kui and them home, but the house he was in now looked very dilapidated at first glance, but it could be the old mansion of the Tian family that Tian Kui mentioned along the way, and Tang Cheng, who had always been insecure, was eager to figure out where he was now.

"We didn't leave at all, this is a grange found by those Sichuan troops, less than a mile away from where you shot last night." Tian Kui poured a bowl of hot water for Tang Cheng, and then continued, "Chief Liu saw that you had been unconscious last night, so he decided to rest here for one night, and when you woke up before you went on the road, those people from the Sichuan army were in the next room. Tian Kui had a good impression of Tang Cheng, and the two of them chatted happily when they asked and answered.

Although Tian Kui said that Liu Goat decided to stay for himself, Tang Cheng had already guessed Liu Goat's plan, and the three of them were now deserters, at this time, Liu Goat was unwilling to mix with those routs, especially last night there was a major of the 87th Division. When Tian Kui mentioned that those Sichuan soldiers were sleeping in the next room, Tang Cheng suddenly understood the reason why Liu Goat did this.

After crossing the river that day, Liu Goat inquired about the situation of the 88th Division's crossing of the river, and although he did not find the troops of the 88th Division at the end of the day, Liu Goat got the movements of other troops after crossing the river. The Sichuan army has always been untreated by the government, and most of the Sichuan troops stationed in Nanjing did not cross the river, but chose to fight the Japanese army head-on and rush out of danger. These Sichuan soldiers next door must also be deserters who want to run home without permission, Liu Shanyang decided to stay for one night, and gave food and medical treatment, probably so that these Sichuan soldiers could be their guides into Sichuan.

Tang Cheng followed Robert out of Chongqing by water, and the veteran Liu Goat had never set foot in Sichuan, so although they decided to go to Sichuan, the three of them had no clue which way to go, and the appearance of this group of Sichuan troops solved a big problem for them. "I'm going to go for a walk" Taking the cigarette roll handed by Tian Kui, Tang Cheng opened the door and walked out of the house with a calm face.

Originally, I thought that the houses here were all connected, but when Tang Cheng went out, he realized that the house where the Sichuan army was staying was still more than ten meters away from them. According to the direction of Tian Kui, Tang Cheng walked slowly with a cigarette in his mouth, until he saw the fire in the room through the gap in the wooden door. "I'm looking for Zhang Yun" pushed open the wooden door, Tang Cheng walked in, there were more than 30 Sichuan soldiers sitting and reclining in the small room, and Zhang Yun, who had met Tang Cheng, was feeding rice soup to one of the wounded soldiers.

"Let's talk," Tang Cheng turned around and walked out of the house after speaking, the smell of sweat and blood in the room made Tang Cheng feel out of breath under the hot steam. Zhang Yun did not have a military rank mark on his collar, and Tang Cheng couldn't figure out what rank he was, but among the Sichuan soldiers here, Tang Cheng only knew Zhang Yun alone, so he could only ask Zhang Yun about what he wanted to ask. Zhang Yun was very surprised by the arrival of Tang Cheng, at that time Zhang Yun only met with Liu Goat, Tian Kui and Lao Xu, but it had no effect on Tang Cheng lying in the carriage, but when Liu Goat and Jiujin got Tang Cheng off the carriage last night, Zhang Yun had seen Tang Cheng.

"My name is Tang Cheng, and I fought all the way from Shanghai to Nanjing, and I am considered a veteran, so I would like to ask you about some things." Wrapped tightly in his coat, Tang Cheng squatted under the wall to enjoy the warmth of the sun, and Zhang Yun, who came out later, also squatted down when he saw this. "Are you going back to Sichuan? If we could, I think we could go on the same road, we have carriages and medicines, weapons and ammunition, and we can be companions when there are more people, and nowhere is it peaceful now. ”

Tang Cheng laughed when he learned how adults spoke, but when Tang Cheng turned his head to look at it, Zhang Yun stopped laughing. The matter of traveling with Zhang Yun and them, in fact, Liu Goat had already said it last night, even if it was not for himself, even those brothers who had not recovered from their injuries made Zhang Yun have to agree to go with Liu Goat and them, otherwise the food on the road alone would be enough to make Zhang Yun collapse, and there were two doctors on Liu Goat's side to help.

"Your uncle had already told our company commander last night that he would leave together, and it was too late for you to say this now." Zhang Yun thought that Tang Cheng would be blushed by his words, but who knew that Tang Cheng didn't have any expression after listening to his words, but got up and left with a relaxed face. Zhang Yun is not Liu Goat, so he doesn't know Tang Cheng's character, compared with young people of the same age, Tang Cheng's personality is more inclined to an adult, so Tang Cheng's way of looking at problems and attitude are also different from other young people, when Zhang Yun thought that Tang Cheng would be embarrassed, Tang Cheng felt a little relaxed.

Tian Kui's family just got out of the car, but the things at home were still in the carriage, Tian Kui's two younger brothers had been taking turns guarding the carriage outside the house, and when they saw Tang Cheng coming over slowly, Tian Kui's eldest brother nodded hurriedly. Tang Cheng's performance last night was enough to make the people of the Tian family respect him, a person who dared to shoot in front of a hundred and ten refugees and the routed soldiers was by no means an ordinary person, the people of the Tian family had completely forgotten Tang Cheng's actual age, in their opinion, Tang Cheng was no different from other soldiers of the national army.

"In a moment our people wake up, and if you ask me, you'll say I'm going to the slope over there." After admonishing Tian Kui's eldest brother, Tang Cheng, who was wearing a military coat, walked slowly towards the slope in front. may be influenced by Xie Bo's notebook, every time he goes to a strange place, Tang Cheng always uncontrollably likes to walk around first to familiarize himself with the terrain, as if only in this way, Tang Cheng will be more down-to-earth in his heart, of course, this time is not exceptional.

Liu Goat's telescope has long been lost in the street battle with the Japanese army in the city of Nanjing, Tang Cheng standing on the slope can only rely on his own eyes to look around, the slope where he is located is the surrounding terrain is a high position, standing here Tang Cheng can already see the avenue that he walked last night. Looking up at the sky, Tang Cheng estimated that it would be seven or eight o'clock in the morning at most, wrapped tightly in the military coat on his body, Tang Cheng wanted to turn around and leave, but the blackness he saw from the corner of his eye made him stop his steps and figure.

Stretching out his hand to build a pergola above his eyes, Tang Cheng looked towards the black, and after taking a closer look, Tang Cheng realized that the black that Lu Dao was swept by the corner of his eyes was dozens of figures, and those figures were coming from this side. Tang Cheng, who was standing on the slope, subconsciously turned around and looked at the house he had been staying in, the smoke coming out of the house was too conspicuous, those people might have seen the smoke before coming.

Tang Cheng suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have forgotten the steel helmet in the house, if he had that German-style steel helmet on his head, maybe these guys who came over would have avoided it far away. Tang Cheng's heart suddenly felt a pang of discomfort, and then reflexively pulled out a shell gun and carried it in his right hand, and walked downhill to meet those who came over. Tang Cheng's speed was not fast, but the other party's speed was not slow, the two walked in the opposite direction, and in less than a minute, Tang Cheng could see the other party's facial expressions.

"It seems that something is wrong" Tang Cheng, who had always maintained a high degree of vigilance, unconsciously lifted his military coat and pulled out another shell gun, and then slowed down.
