Chapter 82: The Old Man Meets Again
Re-embarked on the road, replaced by the old man surnamed Wu riding the lucky donkey, but Tang Cheng got into the carriage, not for anything else, on the afternoon of the day he re-embarked on the road, Tang Cheng launched a high fever, and Tang Cheng, who was in a daze, was carried into the carriage by nine catties. The two pistols that Tang Cheng had been carrying with him were also received into the box with books by the old man surnamed Wu, and the bag of things seized from the Japanese soldiers was tied into a small bag like a nine-pound treasure and carried on his back, and he never took it off even when he was sleeping.
After passing through several towns along the way, Jiujin took Tang Cheng to see a doctor, but now the soldiers are in chaos, and most of the doctors found by Jiujin lack treatment drugs, even if Jiujin finds money in the hidden pocket of Tang Cheng's belt, he can't find a place to buy medicines. Therefore, the groggy Tang Cheng could only lie in the carriage all day, and the only treatment was that the old woman kept putting a wet towel on Tang Cheng's forehead to cool down and reduce the fever.
Strictly speaking, Tang Cheng is not really sick and unconscious, in the past few days, Tang Cheng knows all about the process of carrying him around with nine catties on his back, but now he doesn't even have the strength to move his toes and thumbs, let alone want to speak. The unwillingness in the eyes of the national army pilot before he died was deeply left in Tang Cheng's memory, and as soon as he remembered that unwilling look, Tang Cheng's heart hurt and he just wanted to shout loudly.
"Are you awake and drinking water?" The groggy Tang Cheng didn't wake up until the morning of the third day, and after waking up, Tang Cheng felt that he was in pain all over his body, and what caught his eye was the concerned gaze of the old woman, and the little girl biting her fingers was snuggling up to the old woman and secretly looking at herself, which made Tang Cheng's mood better for no reason. After drinking a few sips of water from the old woman's hand, Tang Cheng, who felt better, sat up, only to find that he was lying on a wooden bed, looking at the furnishings in the room, which should be an inn.
"Jiujin asked the doctor to come to see your injury, the doctor said that your injury needs to be recuperated, let's rest here for two days first, and when your injury is better, let's go to Nanjing City." The old woman's words carried a hint of joy, and she smiled when she saw that Tang Cheng seemed to be a little anxious, "This is Chunhua Town, only more than 30 miles away from Nanjing's Zhonghua Gate, and we can enter the city in less than a morning to make a carriage." ”
Knowing that he had been in a coma for three days and that this place was already within the scope of Nanjing, Tang Cheng, who had already gotten up, relaxed and lay down again, teasing the little girl for a while, and Tang Cheng, who was exhausted, fell asleep again. Escorting this family of three to Nanjing smoothly is Tang Cheng's belief that forcibly supported him along the way, if it weren't for this belief, Tang Cheng would have collapsed as early as the first time he was bombed by Japanese fighters, not to mention a series of emergencies that followed.
Seeing that Tang Cheng was asleep, the old woman raised her index finger and made a silent expression, and then took the little girl out of the room lightly. The old woman was right, the place where they live now is in Chunhua Town, which is only more than 30 miles away from Nanjing, but they did not stay here for the convenience of Tang Cheng to recuperate, but after Tang Cheng fell into a coma, the remaining family of three and Jiujin were in trouble and had to stop here in Chunhua Town.
The day after the coma in Tang City, the old woman once again showed kindness to the refugee children on the road, only to attract a group of refugees to scramble. Nine catties alone is invincible with two fists and four hands, the old man surnamed Wu can only stare dryly but can't help, if it weren't for the most desperate nine catties to show Tang Cheng's shell gun that has run out of bullets, maybe their carriage and donkey will be snatched away.
All the food was shot, and even the old couple's small suitcase and baggage did not escape the inspection of those people, not only the money saved by the old couple was gone, but even the old woman's two family heirloom jewelry were missing. The old couple who were secretly sad only then remembered that Tang Cheng was good, if there was no escort from Tang Cheng along the way, they would have taken their little granddaughter to Nanjing by themselves, and I am afraid that they would have been robbed not far from Suzhou.
Nine catties of pistols in broad daylight were naturally secretly written down by those refugees, so their carriage was surrounded by the police here as soon as they arrived in Chunhua Town. The old man surnamed Wu is a cultural person, he disdains to deal with such a character, Jiujin is a farmer, and he has been circling around their village for more than ten miles since he was a child, and these two people can't tell where Tangcheng's pistol came from, so the old and the young were taken away by the police here.
Fortunately, the old man surnamed Wu is a person who has seen the world, and he paid the bail directly in a carriage with the police, and followed some refugees into the city early in the morning. The reason why the old woman didn't tell Tang Cheng about Jiujin's arrest was that she was worried that Tang Cheng would recur her old injuries in a hurry, and she also believed that her daughter-in-law's ability would never make Jiujin suffer.
The matter was solved very smoothly, at lunchtime, the old man surnamed Wu who was sitting in a car took his daughter-in-law and two embassy staff back to Chunhua Town, and there was no need for the German embassy to say anything, and those policemen saw the old man surnamed Wu coming in a car, so they immediately released nine catties. "Old man, they still have my brother's pistol, and one of my bayonets, which was given to me by my brother." Jiujin was not satisfied with the police seizing his things, and shouted in front of the old man surnamed Wu unrelentingly.
The policeman who detained the things took out all the things very reluctantly, but the M1911 in Tang Cheng was gone, and Jiujin was unwilling to do it now, and he, the banker, knew that the small gun was far more valuable than this box gun. "Boy, are you talking about this pistol?" When Jiujin was arguing with the policemen, a national army officer got out of a truck parked next to the inspection station, pulled out a pistol from the holster on his waist and showed it to Jiujin.
"It's such a pistol, but my little brother's one is much newer than your one." Jiujin carefully looked at the empty gun handed over by the officer, and said it accurately. Many people who came and went to Chunhua Town gathered to see the excitement, which policemen did not dare to provoke the officer, they could only stare at Jiujin and scold Jiujin, if it weren't for the fact that there were big-nosed foreigners among the people brought by the old man surnamed Wu, maybe these policemen could catch Jiujin and detain Jiujin for a few more days.
"Boy, where did you get this 20-ring box?" The tall and thin officer didn't pay attention to the policemen who were arguing with Jiujin, but just picked up the shell gun in Jiujin's hand with an interested look and looked at it, until he found a mark on the handle of the shell gun, and the officer's originally kind face immediately changed color. The officer didn't look as strong as the nine catties, but the strength in his hands was not small, and the nine catties who were grabbed by the collar pushed left and right and couldn't break free from the officer's control.
"Is the person you are talking about surnamed Tang? It's a young man who looks less than 20 years old, is his name Tang Cheng? After learning that the owner of the gun was surnamed Tang from Jiujin's mouth, the tall and thin officer holding the back of Jiujin's neck was anxious, and first slapped the policeman who came to him to make noise, and then asked Jiujin to take him to find the owner of the gun. Jiujin was naturally unwilling to let those policemen go like this, so he had to let the officer get Tang Cheng's M1911 back.
"Grinder, you shut up this gang of doggy policemen, when will you find out the pistol in Tang Cheng, and then you let them out, if you can't find them, you will pull them all to Yuhuatai to repair the fortifications." The tall and thin officer shouted at a national soldier who got off the truck just now, and then he seemed to be affectionate and hugged Jiujin's shoulder, and urged Jiujin to hurry up and take him to find someone. In the compartment of the truck, a few national soldiers with murderous faces jumped down, tied up the policemen in front of the nine catties with straight eyebrows, and ignored the policemen's begging for mercy.
"Boy, tell me why you came here to leave the second company? If we still have the second company to follow us, where will we suffer this foreign sin? Being taken to the inn by Jiujin, Liu Goat, who had been promoted to captain and company commander, looked at Tang Cheng who was lying on the bed in a drowsy state, and couldn't help but have fog in his eyes. Liu Goat was born in the old army, as long as he glanced at Tang Cheng's current face, he knew that Tang Cheng was a symptom of the recurrence of an old injury.
"It's not a lot of money, just a thank you, thank you for taking care of my soldiers." Now that Tang Cheng has been found, it must be brought back to the second company's station. Liu Goat was an old oilman, although he didn't know that Tang Cheng was related to such a family, but he could see that this old man surnamed Wu was obviously not an ordinary person, so Liu Goat was much more polite when he talked to the old man.
"The chief is polite, it should be that we are grateful to Xiao Tang, if he hadn't taken care of us along the way, I'm afraid our family of three would have been killed by a Japanese plane outside Suzhou." The old man surnamed Wu wanted to take Tang Cheng into the city to recuperate, but seeing that Liu Goat was anxious about Tang Cheng, it was obviously not as simple as the relationship between ordinary superiors and subordinates, and his daughter-in-law was also hinting that he should not participate in this matter, so the old man surnamed Wu had to leave his address vaguely, and then left Chunhua Town in a hurry with his family.
"Boy, you can see it, you can't blindly be a good person in this world, there is no good reward for good people, that family is capable at a glance, and they came from the city in a car, and they didn't know how to find a Western doctor for Tang Cheng to take a look at the disease, this fucking is a white-eyed wolf at all." Liu Goat clutched the note left by the old man surnamed Wu into a ball and threw it away, and then helped the unconscious Tang Cheng to Jiujin's back, and then carried the burden that was regarded as a treasure by Jiujin, and took the two of them out of the inn to get in the car and leave-
