In the evening, a sudden storm swept through the mountains. This rainstorm not only cleaned the smell of blood in the air after the explosion, but also made Yang Zhen and a small team composed of more than a dozen brothers completely get rid of the very likely pursuit of the Japanese army with the help of the cover of this rainstorm.

Yang Zhen knew that the huge explosion of the Wudaoling Iron Mine, which was only eighteen kilometers away from the Binsui Railway, could not be felt by the devils. After the explosion ended, he simply checked the battlefield, and he didn't even clean it, because he was worried that the nearby Japanese puppet army would rush over to reinforce after hearing the explosion. Even Yang Zhen could conclude that with the devil's reaction speed, reinforcements would arrive even before noon.

Although the torrential rain in the evening brought trouble to the march, it could delay the pursuit of the Japanese puppet army, at least hide their marching intentions, and clean up the traces left by the march. The traces that have been cleaned by the heavy rain may not be able to be found even if the devil brings in military dogs.

It was a good thing to get rid of the pursuit of the Japanese army, but because there was nowhere to hide from the rain during the march and no rain gear was carried, Yang Zhen, who was injured and was extremely tired, suddenly developed a high fever in the early morning of the second day after evacuating the Wudaoling iron mine.

Looking at Yang Zhen, who was in a coma because of the high fever, he had been taking care of him, but as a doctor, he didn't even have half a pill, and the only thing Zhang Ting, who was basically helpless, could do was to keep wetting the cloth with cold water and applying it to his head, trying to lower his body temperature.

On the side, Yang Zhen, who was also looking at Yang Zhen, who was sleepy and shivering because of high fever, and Li Mingrui, who was also helpless, was even more anxious, and there was nothing he could do. Everyone was poured like a soup chicken, and there was not even a single dry clothes on hand. Even if there was a dry suit for him to change into, it would be better.

Looking at Li Mingrui, who was in a hurry, Zhang Ting, who really had no way to lower Yang Zhen's body temperature, suddenly remembered and said, "Do you know herbal medicine?" If you know herbs, you'd better pick some herbs. Let's see if we can use herbs to lower his body temperature first. ”

Hearing Zhang Ting's words, Li Mingrui scratched his head and said, "I can kill people, but I don't know anything about this herb." Even if I understand, I only know some medicine for treating trauma, and I really don't understand this herbal medicine for treating headache and brain fever. By the way, aren't you a doctor? You know some herbs, huh? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Ting also shook her head and said: "I studied Western medicine in school, and I don't know much about Chinese medicine. Most of the teachers in our school are Japanese, and even if there are Chinese professors, most of them have returned from overseas and do not understand or look down on Chinese medicine. ”

After that, Zhang Ting looked at the other people around who were also wearing wet clothes and shivering from the cold, and said: It has just rained, and the mountain climate is cool at night. Now you have to find a dry place for your brothers to rest, otherwise it will be not only him, but by tomorrow morning, there will be more people who will not be able to get sick. ”

"And at least clean the wounds of the wounded, otherwise it will be bad if there is an infection. Even if you can't find a house, at least find a cave first. It would be nice if I could get some hot soup to warm up the brothers. ”

"No, before I fell unconscious, Chief Yang repeatedly told me that I was not allowed to enter any village until I joined up with the large army. We have been killed together since Harbin, and we have encountered too many traitors. After several betrayals, we can't trust anyone here. As you saw today, a chef betrayed us for some counterfeit money. ”

Regarding Zhang Ting's request to find a house for the brothers to rest, Li Mingrui shook his head and objected without thinking about it. Huang Dali's lessons from the past, coupled with his own personal experience, have made him lose trust in the people in this area. Li Mingrui knew that with the remaining combat strength of the brothers around him now, it would not be too much, it would be enough to come to twenty or thirty puppet Manchurian policemen.

Zhang Ting, who witnessed today's betrayal, was also silent when she heard this, and said after a long time: "I can't complain about these people, they are afraid of being killed by devils." The common people here used to be as enthusiastic as the people in Guannei, and when they helped the Anti-Japanese Federation to fight the devils, they asked for food to be produced and people to be released. There is never a half-word. ”

"The strength of the Anti-United Nations is not strong, and it is impossible to fight hard with the devils. When the devil's army comes, the Anti-Japanese Federation can withdraw, but the people's family business is here, where are they withdrawing? I don't know what the devils are doing in Nanjing, and I haven't heard of them. The devil's news blockade in Manchuria is extremely strict, and it is difficult for us to know any other news except for boasting about their great military power all day long. ”

"What we know is that the devils kill the people who help the Anti-Japanese Federation, and they kill one ditch at a time. How many families have been killed, how many wives have been killed, and who can count them? How many people will be carried out in a winter in a year? The common people were afraid of being killed, and their hearts were chilled. ”

"It is true that men and men in the Northeast are afraid of death, but we have never lacked blood. In the September 18 Incident that year, the Northeast Army withdrew without firing a shot, and most of the people who remained in the Northeast surrendered to the enemy and became traitors. The 30 million flesh and blood compatriots in the Northeast were lost to the Japanese in this way, but our compatriots in the Northeast were not willing to be slaves of the country and spontaneously organized to resist. ”

"They formed the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, and without any foreign aid, or even their own government did not support a single shot, they have been fighting bloody battles with devils with poor equipment. After the defeat of the Northeast Volunteer Army, they joined the Anti-Japanese Federation and were still fighting a bloody battle with the Japanese invaders. ”

"By this year, the three eastern provinces have fallen for seven years. In the past seven years, we have resisted, we have still fought, and we have never given in. Even in the freezing and snowy land, in the freezing cold of minus thirty or forty degrees, even if they are hungry, even if they are thinly dressed, they still insist on fighting. ”

"You've met a lot of soft bones, and they've betrayed you, I'll admit it. But there is a huge China, and there are still fewer traitors? In the vast eastern three provinces, there are only a few bed bugs out of the 30 million flesh and blood compatriots. They don't represent the fathers and villagers of the Northeast. Chief Li, not all the traitors in Xinjing who betrayed their ancestors and relied on the Japanese to make a fortune are from the Northeast. ”

Zhang Ting's words made Li Mingrui speechless, he didn't see that this woman with a pungent temperament in his impression still had this side, and she could still tell so many big truths.

Although he was a little impressed with Zhang Ting in his heart, Yang Zhen's order was an order. Li Mingrui didn't dare not insist, even if it wasn't for himself, for Yang Zhen, who was now in a high fever and couldn't wake up, he wouldn't dare.

Li Mingrui shook his head and said, "Miss Zhang, an order is an order, and I must carry it out." I can't disobey Chief Yang's personal order. I am a soldier, and it is my duty to obey orders. So Miss Zhang, I'm sorry. ”

Speaking of this, Li Mingrui looked at Yang Zhen, who was unconscious, and said, "Miss Zhang, can you think of a way to persevere." Chief Guo has the medicine seized from the devil, as long as the main force is found, I think the medicine should not be a big problem. ”

"Sir Li, it's not that I can't persevere, it's you, Chief Yang, if you don't think about subduing the fever, I'm worried that you will have a fever. Once the wound becomes infected, causing sepsis, then only death awaits him. "When I bandaged him, I didn't even have the necessary disinfection of alcohol or even saline, and I couldn't clean the wound surface, so I could only do a simple bandage. Coupled with the torrential rain in the evening, I was worried that his wounds would become infected. Even if it's not a wound infection, if it burns like this, something will go wrong. Especially when he is in extremely poor physical condition, it is easy to cause pneumonia or encephalitis. ”

"You agreed to meet at Daqingdingzi Mountain, but in such a big place around Daqingdingzi Mountain, can you guarantee that you can find your main force immediately where you go? I can't find the main force, and there is no medicine available. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Ting looked at Yang Zhen and said in a low voice: "Besides, I'm worried that he may not be able to hold out until you find the troops." In any case, now we have to find a way to get his burnt kuài back. His situation is too dangerous. ”

Although Li Mingrui didn't understand Zhang Ting's words, he still understood what the word danger meant. Li Mingrui hesitated slightly, and finally gritted his teeth and called the two brothers who were not injured, and told them to find a cave as much as possible. It's best to find a way to get some dry firewood.

Although the mountainous area in the northeast is different from the karst terrain in the southwest, which is full of caves, it is still relatively easy to find caves in the same mountainous area. The two veterans went out for a while, and after a while, they found a small cave with a very hidden entrance, although it was not big, but it was still possible to accommodate these people. It's just that after the baptism of heavy rain in the evening, there is nowhere to find this dry firewood.

In the end, it was Gui Jun's hunter-turned-veteran Liu Sigou who had many methods. He disassembled a few bullets, sprinkled the gunpowder from the bullets on the collected pine branches, and used them to capture them in the Battle of the Ash River, and thought of preserving them, and lit a fire with the only match that could still be lit if it was not wet in the rain. Although the smoke is a little bigger because the firewood is too wet, it is better than nothing.

With fire, it means warmth, hot water to drink, and drying clothes that are already soaked on the body. Although I didn't have anything to eat, it was good to have hot water to drink in such a ghost weather. Although there is no pot, the devil's steel helmet is a good substitute.

After lighting the bonfire, Li Mingrui didn't care about Zhang Ting's presence, so he immediately took off all the soaked clothes on Yang Zhen's body, covered them with his own dried clothes, and put Yang Zhen's clothes on the side of the fire and baked them.

The rest of the people saw that Li Mingrui had covered Yang Zhen with the clothes he had dried, but Yang Zhen was still trembling, so they covered Yang Zhen's body with the clothes that had been dried.

Only Liu Sigou didn't take off his clothes, and he didn't even dry his clothes. stepped forward to look at Yang Zhen, who had been sleeping due to high fever, Liu Sigou picked up the gun and said to Li Mingrui: "Chief Li, it's not okay for Chief Yang to always burn like this." I'm going to figure out how to get something to eat and some herbs to come back. ”

"Before I joined the Gui Army, I was an Orion. The people in the mountains are poor, and they are not so noble. Those who are injured or have a headache and brain fever while hunting, and who look down on the doctor, always collect some herbs and treat them by themselves. ”

"I know a lot of herbs that can heal trauma. I'm going out to have a look, and I'm going to get some herbs back. However, this is not voluntary, but we are the first time to come back, and I don't know if there are any common herbs in my hometown. ”

Hearing the herbs that Liu Sigou knew, Li Mingrui pondered for a moment, then looked at Yang Zhen, who was already in a semi-coma beside him, and nodded: "Okay, but you can't go alone." The environment here is too unfamiliar to us, and you can't cope with any abnormalities yourself. You pick a brother to accompany you. ”

"Also, no matter what the situation is, don't shoot lightly, come back and report it immediately. This place is still a little close to Wudaoling, and the devil's reinforcements must have arrived there at this time, and the gunfire will cause some unnecessary trouble. When you find the herbs, you come back, aren't there still those captured horses? If you really can't do it, kill one. You're a veteran, what to do you should know. ”

"You can rest assured that you can take care of Chief Yang, I know these things." Liu Sigou nodded, and after answering, he took a brother out. Before leaving, he didn't forget to make a little camouflage to cover the mouth of the small cave.

Watching Liu Sigou leave, Li Mingrui sighed secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to report too much hope. This guy is from Gui Jun, and in the mountains of Guangxi, he will be like a fish in water, and it is easy to find what he is looking for. But in the mountains of Kanto, will he still be there? Especially at night when the clouds are thick in the mountains where you can't see your fingers.

Although Li Mingrui didn't dare to hold out much hope, Li Mingrui still put his hope on him. Hopefully, he can find some herbs that can be used.

Li Mingrui knew that if Liu Sigou returned empty-handed, even if it was a risk, he could only gamble and take Yang Zhen to find a place where there was a home. Even if you can't find a serious doctor, even if you can only find a Fang Langzhong, it's better than being helpless here.

Just when Li Mingrui couldn't help but wonder what he should do once Liu Sigou returned empty-handed, a few crisp gunshots suddenly came from the silent night sky and interrupted his train of thought.

Although it sounded far away, these gunshots made Li Mingrui's heart chuckle. Could it be that Liu Sigou encountered the devil? How did the devil come so fast?

Just when Li Mingrui was secretly guessing the source of the gunshots, Yang Zhen, who had been asleep just now because of the high fever that did not go away, suddenly woke up after hearing these gunshots.

"Mingrui, where are the shots? Why are there two people missing? What is this place? Yang Zhen, who heard the gunshot, was like two people compared to just now. After a slight momentary distraction, he immediately became energetic.

Seeing Yang Zhen sit up, Li Mingrui hurriedly ran over and helped Yang Zhen up and leaned on himself and said, "Chief Yang, I don't know if it's the gunshots coming from there." However, judging by the sound, it must have come from the south. ”

"We should be in a cave about twenty miles southeast of Wudaoling. Just now, you have been in a coma because of a high fever, and Liu Sigou went out to find medicine for you. ”

"Confused, why don't you rush overnight and stop and do something? Can the torrential rain stop the devil for a while, can it stop the devil for a lifetime? The devil has convenient railways and highways, and can quickly transfer troops. If we can't join the main force as much as possible, once the devils are heavily encircled, we will be trapped here even if we don't fight to the death. ”

"And how can you promise them to go it alone? He is unfamiliar with the place here, and the surrounding hostile situation, environment, and even routes are all unfamiliar. Didn't I tell you again and again that no one should be allowed to act alone, and that I would try not to stop and rest? How do you do that? Yang Zhen said these words very seriously.
