When they first entered the mountain, the steps of those students were still light, but they had only walked for less than 2 hours, and the students who had been placed in the middle of the line by Tang Cheng gradually fell behind, if it weren't for Tan Fei and the monk following at the back, some students would have fallen behind. Lao Xie is also tired and out of breath now, the students' bodies have almost been consumed, in order to help them reduce some of the burden, Lao Xie and Wang Qing have each carried three rifles.

When entering the mountain, except for those who could not walk on their own, everyone in the team was assigned a rifle, and the lack of mules and horses was obviously a big problem, but this was Lei Mountain, and Hou San and the dice, who were familiar with the terrain here, had no better way. "Company commander, there are still 3 girls among those students, their hair is shortened, and they didn't recognize it at first." Tan Fei, who was also out of breath, rushed up from behind with two rifles on his back, and whispered to Tang Cheng about his new discovery.

"Okay, I know, you and the monk go at the end and pay attention, don't let these students fall behind." The news reported by Tan Fei was not a new discovery for Tang Cheng at all, and when he rescued this group of people, Lao Dongbei had already seen that it was Tang Cheng who did not let Lao Northeast publicize this matter. Tang Cheng is very sympathetic to these so-called progressive students, these students who are about the same age as him have a lot of enthusiasm, although he doesn't know what will happen to them in the future, but Tang Cheng is willing to help them on their journey.

Thunder Mountain is not big, at least not as big as Horse Mountain, Tang Cheng They exhausted their last bit of strength, and finally walked out of Thunder Mountain before dark. "Company commander, Hou San went to the front, and I stayed here to pick you up." When they were about to walk out of Thunder Mountain, Tang Cheng and they encountered the dice waiting at the mountain pass. As usual, the two people who were responsible for the way out of the road were still Dice and Hou San, and when they went out of Leishan Mountain, they were Xiaoleishan Village, Hou San went to Xiaoleishan Village to inquire about the news, and Dice waited at the mountain pass to pick up Tang Cheng and others.

Xiaoleishan Village is a small village, and there is no mark of Xiaoleishan Village on the military map of the captured Japanese army in Tangcheng, and it is dark when he sees that the sky is dark, and Tang Cheng plans to stay in Xiaoleishan Village for a night's rest. There were suddenly more than 40 outsiders in the village of only a dozen households, or more than 40 outsiders with weapons with them, Xiaoleishan Village did not have the noise of the past, and the whole village was quiet and scary. "Hou San, go and tell them that we will only rest for one night in the village and then leave, and we will pay for food, find a place to stay overnight, and if there are people in their families who are willing to sell big livestock, we will still pay."

There is no village chief in such a small village, and the one who can speak is the eldest person in the village, Hou San took a handful of oceans and asked in the village according to Tang Cheng's intentions, and the three old men with white beards were helped to appear in front of Tang Cheng tremblingly. "Elders, we are passers-by, and we just want to rest in your village for a while, whether it is to eat or find a place to sleep in your village, we will pay." The ocean of white flowers was sprinkled on the millstone at the entrance of the village with Liu Shi's wicked taste, and the women who came out to see the excitement in the village were full of those oceans.

It may be that those students played a role, and the people of Xiaoleishan Village put on their clothes, and finally vacated a few rooms for Tang Cheng and them, but Tang Cheng didn't lose them, and paid a price of a big ocean for each room. For the sake of the ocean on the mill plate at the entrance of the village, the women urged the men of the family to turn out the wood left in the house, widen the narrow bed in the house into a large bed, take out the dried vegetables, eggs and bacon that the family was reluctant to eat, and boil it in a big pot steamingly, and the children of the hungry family stared at the stove and drooled vigorously.

Smelling the fragrance emanating from the stove, the exhausted students were so sore that they just wanted to sleep, but Lao Xie didn't let them rest. It is necessary to soak your feet in hot water after a long journey, and those with blood blisters on the soles of your feet, you must pick up the blood blisters, otherwise you will not be able to walk the next day. "Oh, don't say it, it's so comfortable to soak your feet in hot water, and people who are comfortable don't want to open their eyes now." After all, the energy of young people is vigorous, and although the students who take a break are still weak and sore, their spirits look much better, and they still smile when they soak their feet.

Lao Xie's task is to protect these students going south, as long as these students are well, the stone in Lao Xie's heart can be regarded as falling to the ground. "Uncle Xie, I saw that the gang were taking a shower and washing clothes, and they couldn't do it after washing their clothes that day, so they still want to stay in this village for a few more days?" Wang Qing, who came back from outside, squatted beside Lao Xie and whispered to Lao Xie about the movement on their side in Tangcheng.

Lao Xie is a guerrilla, Tang Cheng is the national army, not to mention Wang Qing, even Lao Xie does not dare to fully believe Tang Cheng, especially Tang Cheng's methods of dealing with devils make Lao Xie jealous. Wang Qing seemed to be wandering around the village unintentionally, but in fact it was sent by Lao Xie to secretly spy on Tang Cheng, but Wang Qing didn't know that his every move was in the sight of Lao Dongbei and Hou San, and Tang Cheng didn't care that Wang Qing was secretly observing him.

Although they have already lived in Xiaoleishan Village, there are still many things to do in Tangcheng, the wounded need to change their dressings, need to eat, need clean clothes, and those who are fighting also need to eat and rest. Pulling the dice to act as his own interpreter, Tang Cheng sat with the three old men in the village and chatted, looking for guides, buying large animals, and eating, all of which required the old people in the village to speak, otherwise nothing could be done.

The guide who led the way for Tang Cheng said well, but the matter of buying the big livestock in the village did not work, and there were only two mules and three oxen in the entire Xiaoleishan village, and if Tang Cheng bought all these big animals, the plough in the village could only rely on manpower when farming. "Then I only need those two mules, and I heard that there is a big cart and a few chicken carts in the village, and I want them all." Tang Cheng was talking with money at all now, and Dayang put it on the table piece by piece, so he couldn't help but the three old men didn't agree.

"At night, we still have to set up sentry posts, not to guard against the people in the village, but to guard against the outside of the village. The washed clothes were dried overnight by the women of the village, and when I left tomorrow, I didn't want to see anyone dirty. Tang Cheng didn't expect Liu Shishi to be in charge alone, but he deliberately handed over some small things to Liu Shishi. After walking around the village with Liu Shishi, Tang Cheng had just picked up the bowl, and Lao Xie, who had already eaten and drunk, came to the door.

Lao Xie came to Tang Cheng for nothing else, the three female students mixed in the middle of the group of students couldn't hold on, Lao Xie came to Tang Cheng to find a way, since they had already crossed the river with them, Lao Xie had no reason to stay here. "Company Commander Tang, you have to think of a way, it won't take two days like this, and these student babies won't be able to hold on." Lao Xie's words didn't make Tang Cheng stop chewing food, but they made Lao Dongdong, who was sitting next to him wiping his gun, squint.

"Surnamed Xie, I look at what you mean, why do you really want to throw these students to us?" The newly shaved head made the old Northeast a lot of spirit, and also made the momentum in the bones of the old Northeast exude. Lao Northeast did not object to Tang Cheng saving Lao Xie at that time, that was because Tang Cheng was sure not to recruit the Japanese army, but the Japanese army was like locusts all over the world, and now it was necessary to seize the time to go south to reach a safe place before the Japanese army moved south.

Tang Cheng didn't expect Lao Xie to come to him for this, originally thought that after waiting for Lingxiang Town, they would go to different places separately from Lao Xie and others, but now it seems that they are different, and they are reluctant to leave because of addiction. "Captain Xie, don't think I'm talking badly, we still have the wounded to take care of, if the students you bring can keep up with us, then follow us, but if you always drag your feet when you stop and go, we can only go separately." Being glared at by Tang Cheng, Old Northeast's tone softened slightly.

In the face of Tang Cheng, who was speechless, and the powerful old Northeast, Lao Xie could only smile bitterly, he couldn't complain about Tang Cheng now, he could only complain about the connector who didn't appear at the agreed time. Had it not been for the absence of the local guerrillas who were responsible for receiving them, his companions would not have died under the guns of the Japanese soldiers, and if it had not been for this, the students would have arrived at a safe place and would have been on their way back to Hefei.

Knowing that there was no guarantee here in Tang Cheng, Lao Xie could only say goodbye and leave, looking at Lao Xie's slightly clumsy back, Tang Cheng's heart that had been pretending to be strong suddenly softened. "I have agreed with the people of the village that tomorrow they will return to us with a guide and two mules, with which I was going to carry weapons and ammunition. Otherwise, the mules will be handed over to you, and I will not care how you use those two mules, I have only one request, and I must not leave those students behind, otherwise you will have to go south on your own. ”

The help of the two mules sounded funny, but Lao Xie really bowed to Tang Cheng, and let the person with the fastest body consumption take turns to ride the mule, and it was always stronger on foot. "You're just a good person, I thought I could let the mule hold the machine gun tomorrow, but now it's okay, I'll have to die of a thief tomorrow, I really don't know what you've been thinking about every day." Tang Cheng let go of the mules he bought with money in a word, and Lao Dongbei immediately counted them honestly and unceremoniously.

Tang Cheng put down the bowl in his hand, reached out to wipe the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, and ignored the white eyes of the old Northeast, just taking out a cigarette from the deduction of the old Northeast. "Qian Erxi looks a little inappropriate, I think he means that sooner or later he will go separately from us, there are a few guys in those students, I think about pulling them into our group, it's just that we meet little devils, at least we need to have enough manpower."
