Chapter 4 Toss
The sun slanted on the person felt very good, although Tang Cheng, who was wrapped in a military blanket, had already woken up, even if his stomach was already rumbling, he still lay on the bed and didn't want to get up. Last night was the first night of settling in this new home, Tang Cheng, who had eaten meat, bathed and changed into clean underwear, slept so well that when he opened his eyes and felt the warmth of the sun, he actually thought that he was still sleeping in his own room in the Shanghai church.
When Tang Cheng woke up, the whole courtyard was very quiet, as if everyone was still asleep, but Tang Cheng knew that this was not the case, everyone should have woken up early like himself, but no one wanted to break the current feeling of tranquility and warmth. Tang Cheng endured the hunger in his stomach and couldn't get up, but not all people were lying in bed like him, and Tang Cheng, who was sleeping on the second floor, heard that at least three people had sneaked into the stove to find food.
Smelling the fragrance coming from the stove, Tang Cheng knew that there was a fat man among the three people, because others couldn't make this kind of smell when cooking. No, he still didn't want to get up, Tang Cheng, who was already hungry, wrapped the military blanket on his body again, and forced himself to close his eyes and continue to sleep. Until the most dog-legged Ma Fat Man brought a bowl of hot noodle broth to Tang Cheng's room, Tang Cheng, who had been holding back, finally broke down his insistence, quickly finished the noodles in the bowl in only a few bites, threw the empty bowl to Ma Fatzi and was addicted, and then shouted for another bowl while burping.
Can't always get up, Tang Cheng, who ate two bowls of noodle broth, died until lunchtime, and was very reluctantly pulled up from the bed by Liu Shishi, and then reluctantly got up to wash his face and brush his teeth and went downstairs, and then reluctantly met with everyone. It was Mu Lianshan's idea to let Liu Shishi pull Tang Cheng down, more than 40 people lived in this broken courtyard, and there were still many things to solve, which all needed Tang Cheng to make a decision.
"Now that we've arrived in Kunming, what about those carts, mules and horses that we got along the way? You can't kill all those mules and horses to eat meat, it's a pity that they are all big animals that are bought for money, but they are used for meat. Ma Fatzi's words made everyone's eyes fall on Tang Cheng. Although they also drove away some carts when they entered Kunming to evacuate those wounded soldiers, there were more than a dozen carts that were driven to Banqiao by Tangcheng, and Tangcheng still had 5 horses in their hands, and it was a laborious task to take care of these mules and horses every day.
"Sell, it's already in place, what are you doing with so many carts, it's enough to leave only three carts and 5 horses, and the rest will be bought somewhere to buy, and this matter will be left to Wu Laosan and Shi to do." Tang Cheng groaned slightly and replied, "When I came here yesterday, I saw that there were a lot of grassy slopes around here, and the fodder for feeding the horses was solved. This place in Yunnan is like spring all year round, and we don't need to reserve winter grass, we just need to pull them out a few laps every day, and when they walk around, it is enough for them to eat their stomachs. ”
"And what about our guns and bullets? I guess we don't have much chance to fight in the future, and there is no need to keep machine guns and grenadiers, so why don't you buy a piece of it, the big guys in the black market are worth a lot, and our rifles and short guns are not worth a few dollars. Hou San looked at Tang Cheng with a look of hope, just waiting for Tang Cheng to nod and agree to the matter.
"Grenadiers and grenades can be shot, machine guns can't work, and those Mauser rifles can't either, although we plan to rest completely, but who knows if the devil will come here in Kunming." If you want me to say, we still have to keep some weapons and ammunition, so that we are still wearing this military uniform, we can't have nothing left in our hands, so that others can see what it looks like. "Tang Cheng They are close to 50 people now, but they brought close to 80 rifles and thousands of rounds of ammunition, Tang Cheng didn't want to leave a rifle for everyone, but a dozen rifles should be left.
"Then let's keep some rifles and bullets according to the number of squads, and sell the rest, as well as those Japanese grenades, there is no benefit in keeping this kind of thing, it's better to get rid of it early." Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Tang Cheng could be regarded as giving this matter a decision. As for the short guns mentioned by Hou San, Tang Cheng was not allowed to sell them on the black market at all, since he had seen the power of the shell guns to set fire and assault, Tang Cheng had deliberately accumulated shell guns, and now there were only a dozen of them with good performance, so he was reluctant to sell them all.
"Wu Laosan and Shi first went to the city to feel the market of the black market, Lao Mu, you take Hou San and glasses into the city to buy what we urgently need, and by the way, get more seasoning for Ma Fatzi to come back, I am still waiting to eat the stew he made." The rest of the people will clean the yard as usual, and it may be our home from now on, but it will have to be cleaned. Tang Cheng was completely a face, and after arranging the work that should be done today, he let the two soldiers of the Dian Army carry their chaise longues to the courtyard and continue to doze off.
This yard is not big or small, and it can't be cleaned up in just one day, and it is impossible for Wu Laosan and Liu Shi to find out the market of Kunming's black market in just one day. For three days in a row, the courtyard where few people entered and exited in the past was very lively, from time to time there were carts leaving the yard, and from time to time there were carts full of daily miscellaneous items returning to the yard. Tang Cheng really didn't care about anything, except for sleeping and dozing off every day, he was clamoring to ask the fat man to make food for him, and after only a few days, Tang Cheng's originally pale complexion was a little more ruddy.
"Oh, no, the master has lice on his body." Tang Cheng, who was dizzy in the sun, suddenly reached out and began to scratch his back, scratching for a while, but it was not enjoyable, and he also took off his military uniform and looked carefully under the sun, until he found traces of lice in the seam of his clothes, and he who had been nesting in the recliner screamed and jumped up like an arrow in his ass and exclaimed.
Having lice on their bodies is too common for wounded soldiers, in fact, as long as the soldiers who have held the position for more than a few days have this kind of thing, especially people like Tang Cheng who have only walked more than 2,000 miles of long distances. Tang Cheng, who did not believe in evil, stripped the clothes of several wounded soldiers one after another and checked them, and found traces of lice, Tang Cheng did not give up, and after a careful inspection, it turned out that lice were finally found in the hair of these wounded soldiers.
The wounded soldiers who were also sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun were very helpless about Tang Cheng playing with his hair like a monkey, isn't it just lice, what's so strange about this, who doesn't have this thing on the body of the soldiers. "You know a fart, this thing will not only suck your blood, but also infect you with diseases, if you can't make a fuss about some infectious disease or something, don't think about it in our yard." Tang Cheng, who was shirtless, threw his military uniform to the ground fiercely, and shouted in the courtyard with two hands, "Haircut, bath, disinfect, change clothes, otherwise you will all sleep in the field outside." ”
The barber, who had already been kidnapped by the bandits, followed Liu Shi into the courtyard tremblingly, but was taken aback, okay, the yard was full of dozens of soldiers in military uniforms. "Bang" 6 pieces of ocean were slapped by Liu Shi in front of the two barbers, "Everyone in this courtyard will shave their heads, and then leave your haircut things, these oceans are yours." "The two barbers who were still trembling almost divided 6 oceans with the robbery, and they were busy shaving their heads for Tang Cheng, and 3 oceans in the city was enough for them to earn 1 month.
"No, you have to shave your head, you can't get rid of any of them in this yard, or you won't be able to get rid of the lice." Lin Ying, who was about to cry in a hurry, was also dragged by Tang Cheng and stared at the shaved head, although it was really indecent for a girl's family to shave her head, but in order to eradicate lice, Mu Lianshan had to pretend not to hear Lin Ying's call for help. The bald heads looked at each other and laughed, the dozens of bald heads in the whole yard looked a bit spectacular, and even Lin Ying couldn't help laughing when he touched his bald head.
After shaving their heads, they took a bath, and the wooden barrel used to bathe Liu Shishi and them had already arrived in Mu Lianshan's homemade insecticide juice, including Tang Cheng and Mu Lianshan, and everyone in this courtyard had to soak in hot water mixed with medicinal juice for more than 2 minutes. Mu Lianshan's homemade insecticide juice not only killed insects, but also stinged Tang Cheng's body, especially the wounds on his body were even more painful. But in order to get rid of the lice on his body, Tang Cheng had to endure the pain and soak it honestly, since Tang Cheng began to remember, this was the first time that lice had grown on his body.
Everyone's changed clothes, whether dirty, torn or clean, were burned clean by Tang Cheng, if it wasn't for Mu Lianshan to stop them, Tang Cheng would still be willing to burn all the old clothes and old cloth in the yard. Seeing Tang Cheng going crazy in the courtyard, Hou San and the others gathered together to watch from a distance, they didn't have any complaints about Tang Cheng forcing him to shave his head and take a bath, they just couldn't figure out that Tang Cheng was carrying a torch and burning in the courtyard like a fool.
"There is an old saying in our hometown, we play with fire a lot during the day, and we are designated to urinate on the kang at night." Looking at Tang Cheng, who was playing with fire, the dice suddenly whispered, so that Hou San and the others couldn't help laughing, and when they saw Tang Cheng turn around and look this way, the few people who were squatting together were busy scattering.
No one remembered that they were going to check if Tang Cheng had wetted the bed last night, and they all slept very well last night after shaving their heads and taking hot baths, including Tang Cheng and Hou San, who had always been used to getting up early, slept lazy. It was only after waiting for the sun to rise that there was a movement in the courtyard, and if it weren't for the fact that everyone was hungry, they would rather lie down in the clean bedding and continue to sleep until dark.
