When Tang Cheng woke up from his coma, he found himself lying on an ox cart pulled by a buffalo, a common water buffalo in the south, but no one had ever used it to pull it. Tang Cheng wanted to sit up from the ox cart, but unfortunately his whole body was wrapped in gauze, especially the injured leg was wrapped like a dumpling, and Tang Cheng, who failed in his action, had to call Jiujin, who was sitting not far away, to come and help.

"You've finally woken up, you've been asleep for three days, it's amazing." The sky was only slightly bright, and Jiujin, who was in charge of the vigil, saw that the others had not woken up yet, so he whispered to Tang Cheng what had happened in the past few days, and by the way, he also told Tang Cheng what Liu Goat had explained to him. Zhilu said that his passport and Xie Bo's diary were on Liu Goat, Tang Cheng was relieved, as for the gold bars that had been spent by Liu Goat, Tang Cheng didn't care too much.

"Alright, I'll keep watch for you, and you can sleep on the ox cart for a while." Tang Cheng, who was helped down from the ox cart by Jiujin and finally landed with his feet, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Although he was in a coma on the ox cart for three days, Tang Cheng's previous sluggish spirit had recovered a lot, and he took over his two barge guns from Jiujin's hands, and Tang Cheng sat down on the big stone that Jiujin had just sat on. Endured the pain on his body, Tang Cheng used a bayonet to pick up the gauze on his body one by one, the shrapnel on his thigh had already been removed, and the wound had been stitched up, with the help of the light of the bonfire, Tang Cheng used the removed gauze to wrap the wound on his leg again.

Looking around, Tang Cheng realized that they were in the wild, Liu Goat and Ma Han and they were all wrapped in thin military blankets and sleeping in the field, if it weren't for the snoring and the bonfire that was about to go out, maybe someone would treat Liu Goat and them as corpses in the same place. Wrapped tightly in the cotton coat on his body, Tang Cheng, who looked relaxed, began to wipe the gun according to his previous habits, his two shell guns have been soaked in the river, if they don't wipe it well, maybe these two shell guns will be scrapped.

Tang Cheng, who was accustomed to admitting death, didn't know that what Lu Dao Xie Bo told him was a lie to him, even if the gun was blistered, it would affect the accuracy or the service life of the gun at most, and there was no possibility that the gun would be scrapped. The part-like shell gun was spread on the military blanket in front of Tang Cheng, and the parts of the shell gun were wiped one by one with gauze, and the feeling that had been lost for a long time returned to Tang Cheng's body, and his somewhat weak body seemed to be much better.

While the others hadn't woken up yet, Tang Cheng, who was by the ancestral bonfire, was wiping the parts of the barge gun in his hand while thinking about what Jiujin had told him just now. Tang Cheng now knew that their direction was towards Bengbu, and the people in the teaching team said that the large army that had crossed the river had moved to Xuzhou, and they were going to take Bengbu to Suzhou and then turn to Xuzhou to join their large army. Tang Cheng has followed Robert everywhere to preach since he was a child, and Jiangsu has also been there, but he has never been to Xuzhou, and he does not know where Xuzhou is.

After experiencing the Nanjing Battle, Tang Cheng was deeply disappointed with the national army, and the scenes outside the Rujiang Gate still flashed back and forth in Tang Cheng's mind, and the confusion in the eyes of those helpless refugees made Tang Cheng dare not forget. When he was in Shanghai and Qiandeng Town, Xie Bo tried every possible way to want Tang Cheng to stay in the second company, but what Xie Bo told him at that time was not such a national army, in Xie Bo's mouth, the national army was the mainstay of defending the motherland and a patriotic division, but what Tang Cheng saw was the national army shooting at helpless civilians.

Liu Goat, who had been secretly accepted by Tang Cheng, even used grenades to blow up houses for a few pieces of wood tied to the raft, these things were placed in Tang Cheng a few months ago, and he couldn't even think of them. Although Liu Goat saved his own life in the end, morally speaking, Tang Cheng did not think that everything Liu Goat did was right, and this was the contradiction in his heart.

"Maybe it's just to wait for me to wake up" Under Robert's teaching since childhood, Tang Cheng has a precocious intelligence than his peers, and Tang Cheng, who has fought all the way from Shanghai to Nanjing, and has experienced the Battle of Nanjing since then, has long been out of the category of the new compilation. From the meaning of Jiujin's words just now, Tang Cheng could already judge that Liu Goat would never go north to Xuzhou with Ma Han and them, and the crime of desertion was not something that he, a small captain and company commander, could afford, if it was Tang Cheng, maybe he would choose to leave in the opposite direction from Ma Han and them.

Since the Second Company was abolished several times in a row under the command of Xie Chengrui, Tang Cheng had already stopped planning to join the Nationalist Army, but the tragic situation of the civilians and soldiers of the Nationalist Army in Nanjing made it difficult for Tang Cheng to make a decision. Compared with those national army routs, the second company that has been killed and wounded several times is a very good example, replenishing the soldiers again and again, and being beaten up again and again, that is, Liu Goat has been thinking about restoring the former establishment and soldiers of the second company in order to endure it, if Tang Cheng was replaced, I am afraid that he would have run to Yuhuatai a long time ago.

"As long as you have a gun in your hand, no matter whether you are a national army or not, you can still kill little devils." Tang Cheng, who had figured out something, aimed at the trees in the distance with his assembled shell gun, and his mouth was still unconsciously making a crackling sound. The gold bars have been exchanged for the ocean by Liu Goat and some of them have been spent, but Tang Cheng still has two shell guns and more than 50 rounds of ammunition, but the story of robbing the rich and helping the poor is what Tang Cheng has heard Robert tell him since he was a child, as long as he has a gun in his hand, Tang Cheng will not worry that he will be hungry.

"Boy, you finally woke up, if you don't wake up again, I'm afraid that your company commander Liu will wipe his neck and hang himself." Ma Han, who woke up first, was very happy to see that Tang Cheng had woken up, but Tang Cheng's impression of him was still at the stage of asking for benefits from Erlian, so Tang Cheng was not very enthusiastic about Ma Han's goodwill performance, especially Ma Han also said that Liu Goat was so unbearable.

Mahan is a loud voice, as long as he wakes up, other people don't want to continue to sleep, these guys who have just escaped the intersection of life and death naturally have many complaints, but Tang Cheng's awakening successfully helped Mahan divert their attention. Nodding and greeting the soldiers of the teaching team he knew, Tang Cheng, who was wrapped in an overcoat, rubbed step by step next to Liu Goat and sat down, the latter would still be in a state of confusion that had just woken up, completely unaware that it would be Tang Cheng sitting next to him, "Woke up?" Liu Goat, who came back to his senses, saw clearly that it was Tang Cheng who was sitting next to him, and he was not as happy or taught him a lesson as Tang Cheng imagined, and asked Tang Cheng very usually, it was usually like Tang Cheng had not been in a coma for three days at all, and even Tang Cheng thought that he had just slept so simply. Facing Liu Goat, who was squinting at him with a cigarette in his mouth, Tang Cheng swallowed the words he was going to answer back into his throat, and just nodded lightly at Liu Goat.

It's not that Tang Cheng didn't want to speak, but at the moment when Liu Goat looked up at him, Tang Cheng clearly saw the look of concern in Liu Goat's eyes. Although Tang Cheng didn't know why Liu Goat treated him so blandly, Tang Cheng knew that Liu Goat's move must have a deep meaning, so before he figured out the situation, Tang Cheng could only do this. Tang Cheng had already woken up, and the Chinese medicine practitioner who felt very relieved was called to take Tang Cheng's pulse, and under Liu Goat's secret hint, they were forced to follow Liu Goat, and their Chinese medicine doctor said that although Tang Cheng had woken up, the injuries on his body showed no signs of improvement.

"I have been practicing medicine on the ground in Jiangsu for many years, and there are several familiar medical clinics in this area, so it is better to stop and prescribe medicine for this little brother first, otherwise I dare not guarantee when his injuries will heal." The Chinese medicine practitioner with a goatee like Liu Goat was full of nonsense according to Liu Goat's hints, and the meaning of his words had been clearly told to Liu Goat that if he didn't have kindness, he should prescribe medicine for Tang Cheng as soon as possible, maybe Tang Cheng's injury would leave the root of the disease, and it would continue to worsen if it was not good.

"There should be a western hospital in Bengbu, I still have some money here, let's talk about it when I see a doctor in Bengbu." The Chinese medicine practitioner had already said everything that should be said, but the thoughtful Liu Goat did not say anything to death, only said that he would go to Bengbu to take Tangcheng to see Western medicine, anyway, Bengbu is the only way to go to Xuzhou, and Ma Han, who was not too good-looking, did not say anything. After briefly nibbling on the flatbread, they continued to hurry, Tang Cheng and the Chinese medicine doctor, who were injured, continued to ride in the car, while the rest could only walk.

"Go to Bengbu first, and then find a way to separate from them after entering Bengbu, and then let's go south to Sichuan." Liu Goat, who was walking on the ox cart, talked to Tang Cheng in a low voice, and the Chinese medicine practitioner sitting next to Tang Cheng watched over them and watched over Ma Han and them. Going to Sichuan means safety, but before that, Liu Goat must not let Ma Han and them know that he really wants to be a deserter, otherwise these guys from the teaching team will definitely tie up the three of them and go to Xuzhou to hand over to the gendarmerie, and it will be a credit to catch the deserter, not to mention that Liu Goat is still a captain officer from the 88th Division.

Tang Cheng, who understood this, nodded lightly, and began to pretend to be depressed according to Liu Goat's prompts, and Lao Xu, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who was promised by Liu Goat to take him to Sichuan together, had already become a member of their group. Knowing that Tang Cheng's injuries were getting worse, Ma Han and they really didn't suspect it, and even Ma Han, who didn't know it, also explained that his soldiers would help Liu Goat find a Western medicine clinic after entering Bengbu.

"Don't you tell Jiujin?" Seeing that Jiujin hadn't eaten well for a whole day, Tang Cheng couldn't bear to look at it with the same sluggish look, but Liu Goat didn't approve of telling Jiujin the truth of his loss. Jiujin's temperament is too straightforward, Liu Goat is afraid that Jiujin will talk in front of Ma Han and them, especially frightened, it is better to let Jiujin stay in the dark first, only in this way can he deceive Ma Han and them.
