Chapter 50: Departure

"Don't want something so good? Isn't it too much of a loser? Seeing that Hou San threw down the several jars that he had already loaded into the car, Ma Fatzi immediately made a bitter face. These jars are still Mu Lianshan's thank you gifts for the locals when he saw a doctor in Longli, Ma Fatzi originally planned to use them to make some pickles, Hou San threw it like this, Ma Fatzi didn't know if these clay jars could be guaranteed to be intact.

"Don't do it, the company commander said don't bring these cumbersome things, and then go west, we don't even live in the wilderness, and the slightly larger villages and towns along the road are where we stay, and if you have people, you are afraid that there will be no pickles to eat." Hou San was very dissatisfied and glanced at the fat man, and threw down a few bags of charcoal on the cart, this charcoal was burned by Gao Hai with people into the mountain, and it was originally used by Mu Lianshan to filter drinking water, but Hou San thought they took up space.

Hou San, who was sorting out the sundries, was making a fuss here, but Tan Fei, who was counting weapons and ammunition, was very brisk here, Tang Cheng and they had always had the habit of wiping weapons, and besides, in addition to rifles and short guns, their weapons only had two light machine guns and a grenadier canister, which was already a waste of manpower to be counted by Tan Fei, a college student. All the people are busy here, even Tang Cheng is not idle, he is calculating the distribution of carts, although those civilians are gone, but they also have dozens of more soldiers of the Dian army, if you don't plan well, the remaining carts may not be able to hold all the things and the wounded.

"Dice, you take the cattle into the town to find the people from the town office, and say that we will pay for them, at least get me five carts of mules and horses, and we will not only give them money, but also donkeys and oxen to compensate them." There are now more than 20 carts in Tangcheng, which can be pulled not only by mules and horses, but also by cattle and donkeys. If Tang Cheng wanted to speed up his march, he would have to replace the oxen and donkeys pulling the carts with mules and horses, otherwise the donkeys and oxen would slow them down.

The people around him were sent out by Tang Cheng one by one, the dice and the wild bull went to find mules and horses, Wu Laosan took Liu Shishi and Zhang Xiaobao to the houses of the people in the town to find tools and ropes for repairing carts, clothes and other things, and Mu Lianshan went to the only Chinese medicine clinic in the town, and he was ready to search for herbs that could be used on the road. "Don't be idle, go and help the fat man slaughter all the chickens and ducks raised in the backyard, let's have a good meal tonight." Gao Hai's four people, who were not taken out, were driven to the backyard by Tang Cheng, and their task was to kill chickens and ducks.

"I already know it, there is already a fight in Changsha, although the national army has gathered a lot of troops this time, but the news in the newspaper is not very good, and many people are worried that Changsha is another Wuhan. Although we are still wearing military uniforms, we are all wounded soldiers, and even if the Japanese army is coming now, I am afraid that we will not be able to stop even a small team of the Japanese army in our current situation, so I decided to leave here and move to Kunming immediately. The soldiers of the Yunnan army who were summoned together by Tang Cheng immediately panicked, and under Tang Cheng's reprimand, they were able to regain their peace.

"What's the panic, the Japanese army is still in Changsha, far away from us." The group of soldiers of the Yunnan Army in front of him, who had been frightened by the Japanese army, made Tang Cheng very annoyed, if they were all such soldiers guarding Changsha City, maybe Changsha City would really fall into the hands of the Japanese army. "Now that we have decided to leave here and go to Kunming, we will leave early tomorrow morning, and now there is only one night left for you, I hope you will tidy up your things tonight, and after we get on the road tomorrow, we may have to go at full speed."

It took a lot of talk with this group of deserters to quiet these panicked guys, and Tang Cheng regretted his decision to stay here to treat these cowards in the first place. After temporarily appeasing the deserters, Tang Cheng went to the disabled soldiers again, these disabled soldiers were much easier to deal with than the deserters, at least they were all face to face with the Japanese army and fought to the death. Knowing that Tang Cheng had decided to leave tomorrow, the disabled soldiers didn't react much, but after hearing that Changsha had started fighting, the eyes of these disabled soldiers were a little more lost.

Of course, Tang Cheng knew that the loss in their eyes was not because they heard the battle in Changsha, but because they felt that they had lost the opportunity to continue to fight side by side with the robes, and Tang Cheng had always treated these disabled soldiers of the Dian Army sincerely. "Let's tidy up our things, go to bed early tonight, we may leave early tomorrow." An inexplicable feeling filled Tang Cheng's chest, making Tang Cheng not dare to stay here longer, so he just turned around and left after a few simple words.

The fat man almost tried his best to prepare a dinner for them who were about to leave, and the two large pots of chicken and duck stew were eaten cleanly, and the happy fat man rubbed his hands again and again and said that there was a lack of seasoning, otherwise the taste would be better. "Did you sleep?" Gao Hai asked the classmates around him softly, the latter shook his head gently but did not speak, Gao Hai sighed lightly, "I can't sleep either, since I was caught by the people here in the mountains to burn charcoal last year, I haven't seen our classmates and teachers for more than a year, I don't know what it will be like when I see them." ”

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, not only Gao Hai and his classmates can't sleep, but even Tang Cheng, who sleeps well on weekdays, tosses and turns and can't sleep. In fact, from the beginning of crossing the Yangtze River to the south, Tang Cheng did not know whether his decision to go west to Kunming was correct, and from the moment he left Shanghai, Tang Cheng had already been branded with the national army. In Mengcheng, Tang Cheng also promised that Liu Goat would reorganize the Second Company, and after that, Tang Cheng did exactly that, until they withdrew to Wuhan to rest and recuperate with heavy casualties, Tang Cheng's idea did not change.

Maybe maybe it was in Xiaojieling, or maybe he was dazzled by the prosperity after entering Wuhan, Tang Cheng couldn't remember when he began to hate war so much, and he was even more tired of the battlefield and heard about things related to the battlefield. Tang Cheng lifted the military blanket on his body and sat up slowly, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it and smoked it, when he promised the Sichuan army to cross the river to snatch the Japanese weapons, Tang Cheng once asked himself what kind of life he wanted to live, but unfortunately Tang Cheng could not find the answer.

On this sleepless night, Tang Cheng asked himself again, but Tang Cheng thought about it and came to the answer as confused as the road ahead. The money accumulated by Liu Shishi is enough for them to live a comfortable life, and Tang Cheng's American passport has also been taken to Kunming by the Huang family, even if they don't have this money, just Tang Cheng's American identity and the help of the Huang family, they can live well in Kunming, but Tang Cheng's heart is not looking forward to such a life.

After smoking a cigarette, Tang Cheng, who was dressed, slowly walked out of the tent, only to find that Mu Lianshan had not slept, and was still strolling in the open space with his hands behind his back at night. "Why didn't you sleep either?" Seeing Tang Cheng come out, Mu Lianshan was also very surprised, and then the two sat down and chatted over the bonfire.

"When we get to Kunming, the first thing is to find a place for Lao Mu to open a medical center, we have a lot of people, we have to find a bigger place, preferably a small 2-story building, downstairs is your medical center, upstairs is where we live, so that everyone can take care of each other."

"If it's a backyard, the stones and a few of them are all active, you have to leave a place for you to practice them, otherwise these boys will run out to cause trouble." Mu Lianshan was also good-natured and accompanied Tang Cheng to sit by the bonfire and talk nonsense, and the more the two talked farther and farther, they had already talked about the matter of opening a medical center in Kunming City. Although Mu Lianshan is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, he doesn't pay much attention to the right and wrong to open a medical center.

Tang Cheng knew that Mu Lianshan said this just to accompany him to talk nonsense, so he took out a cigarette and handed it to Mu Lianshan, "Old Mu, it's very ashamed to say it, if I hadn't tied you up at the beginning, maybe you wouldn't have to follow us Qiu Ba to suffer this crime." Every day with us Qiu Ba, who has a bad temperament, I know that you also hold back a lot of anger, and when you arrive in Kunming, I will do what I say, and I will open a medical center for you as compensation. ”

Mu Lianshan, who rarely smoked, only took one puff, and was choked and coughed again and again, but Mu Lianshan shook his head again and again for Tang Cheng's guilt and supplementation. "Speaking of which, I have to thank you, if you hadn't tied me up, maybe I would have become a ghost under the gun of a little devil, where can I sit here with you and laugh. Besides, there's nothing bad about Kunming, at least it's far away from the little devils, people like me who can't even carry a gun can live like this, it's not easy compared to those who died, it's good, it's really good. ”

The fastest and most uncontrollable time in the world is always time, Tang Cheng didn't consciously talk to Mu Lianshan about anything, but in a blink of an eye, he had already seen the white belly of the fish in the sky. Tang Cheng, who hadn't slept all night and was still in good spirits, got up and called the sentry on duty at night, "Tell everyone to get up, and in half an hour, let's go." "All the things that had to be taken with them had been loaded last night, and the early risers of Tang Cheng only had to pack their things and leave here quietly in a cart and horses.

Quietly leaving is Wu Laosan's mentions, the previous time for those students to storm the town has offended the locals, there have been many bandits here in Guizhou since ancient times, and these things naturally cannot be guarded against. Tang Cheng and they walked quietly, and the children in the town did not find out that the house was already empty until the afternoon, and this news made the locals in the town who wanted to take revenge on Tang Cheng secretly beat their chests and feet, and scolded this gang of Qiu Ba for being too cunning.
