Chapter 46: Brutality
The courtyard outside the town had changed, and the news had already spread in the town of the foot of the valley, and many children and idlers had already gone to the courtyard to see it, and although they had not been able to see the inside through the closed courtyard gate, the smell that came out of the courtyard was not the rancid smell it had been. The area of the courtyard is not very large, and there are still dozens of civilians in Tang City, so it is impossible for the courtyard gate to be closed all the time, because those civilians who help still have to enter and exit the courtyard.
The wounded soldiers all lived in the courtyard, and they and the civilians in Tang City could only camp outside the courtyard, but fortunately, it was August now, and as long as there was a shelter from the wind and rain, people could live there. They didn't sleep in a shack in Tang City. They had tents, and they had leveled a large piece of flat land outside the yard, Hou San was setting up tents with wild oxen, and the rest of the people followed Wu Laosan to the left to cut down trees and come back to help the civilians build shacks.
I don't know if it's because Liu Shishi and the others are all holding guns, the people who came to the town to look for the news only dared to look at this side from a distance, but no one dared to approach here. Tang Cheng, who was basking in the sun in the recliner, was very satisfied with the current situation, Zhu Shunshui's injuries would only be healed in half a month, and in this half month, it would be excellent if the people in the town did not come to make trouble, for this reason, Tang Cheng did not hesitate to arrange Liu Shi's training ground in the open space outside the courtyard.
"I think our company commander is dizzy, if you want to scare the people in these towns, we just need to go in with guns and wander a few times, why do we have to kill a few of us like monkeys." The one who is most resistant to training will always be Liu Shishi who jumps out first, although Tan Fei is also very reluctant, but he will not be the first to jump out and go against Tang Cheng. The remaining Zhang Xiaobao and the two newcomers are purely foodies, as long as they have meat to eat after training, those three must be Tang Cheng's hardcore subordinates.
"Stone, what are you muttering, run faster, you eat more than me in the morning, how can you do it now if you don't work hard, could it be that you have eaten too much and have difficulty moving? Well, I'll tell you the fat man in a moment, and I'll only give you porridge at noon. Liu Shi was talking to Tan Fei beside him, but Tang Cheng on the recliner looked at him, and only shouted, Liu Shi rushed to the front as quickly as a rabbit with an arrow, and Tan Fei couldn't help laughing.
Tang Cheng now has food in his hands, and some of his men have guns, obviously he doesn't have to worry about anything, as long as he spends half a month of rest and recuperation safely, he can continue to march to Kunming, and this kind of leisurely life is what Tang Cheng wants. Tang Cheng wanted to get by all the way to Kunming easily, but some people didn't want Tang Cheng to live such a comfortable life, and Wu Laosan, who took people out to cut down trees, came back, and brought back two women dressed in local clothes.
"Sir, we have to take care of this matter, these students went all the way to Kunming to study, but they were robbed by the local people. The men were sent into the mountains to burn charcoal, and the women were occupied by them and taken to their homes as guests. Since Wu Laosan followed Tang Cheng, this is the first time Tang Cheng has seen Wu Laosan's eyes full of tears, and then looking at the two female students who were rescued by Wu Laosan, Tang Cheng's anger that was previously aroused by the deserters burst out again.
Ma Fatzi brought hot broth to the two female students, a bowl of broth in the stomach, the two female students with wooden faces finally recovered a little angry, one of them cried silently, and the other intermittently told Tang Cheng and others about their experience. In 1937, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, Peking University, Tsinghua University, and Nankai University first moved to Changsha, Hunan Province, to form Changsha Provisional University, which opened on October 25 of the same year. In April 1938, it moved west to Kunming and was renamed National Southwest Associated University.
The transfer of thousands of people is not a trivial matter, although the school and the government have made a lot of preparations in advance, but the bandits and bandits from all walks of life on the way have not been able to let them go. The two female students and a few classmates continued to move west after being separated from the large army, and they were intercepted by the locals of Gujiao Town, and the four male classmates along the way were arrested into the mountains to burn charcoal, and the two female students were snatched home by the big families in Gujiao Town, if they were not still young, they might have been ruined.
"Call Lao Huang's people, let's go into the town to visit these big households, didn't Ma Fatzi say that the food is a little tight, and our food will come out of them." Tang Cheng's words made Wu Laosan and a few of them start to get busy, these few are the masters who cause trouble all day long, they are always so idle and have long been about to hold back the problem, and when they heard Tang Cheng's meaning to find trouble waiting for the enemy, they were dressed up one by one and just waited for Tang Cheng to give the order to set off.
"Don't be afraid, let's go into the town to cause trouble for those people, and by the way, rescue your classmates." The two female students who were originally desperate heard Tang Cheng say this, and the dry meaning in their eyes was swept away. Looking at Wu Laosan and the others who were already fully armed, their last bit of worry also disappeared, and their whole bodies seemed to be shrouded in great happiness, and they nodded to Tang Cheng with a soft smile. The hardships of the past year have not been in vain, those who have bullied themselves, insulted themselves, and ignored themselves, you will be punished, and you will definitely be punished.
Lin Ying, who was wearing a military uniform, took two female students to march into the town in a carriage surrounded by several Yunnan soldiers, and every time she saw a local person in the town who was dodging and did not dare to look at her, the two female students in the carriage would have more smiles on their faces. Wu Laosan and the others followed behind on horses guarding Tang Cheng's cart, they were waiting for the two female students to identify the people who robbed them, and the two carts and more than a dozen knights rushed into the town, naturally making a burst of chickens and dogs.
"If I don't go in, it's okay, his family keeps beating me and letting the dog chase me, I'm afraid." The female student surnamed Sun pointed to a family but didn't dare to get out of the car, her legs like firewood sticks were full of scars, and Lin Ying, who was watching it, was heartbroken like a knife. Wu Laosan's heart was already angry, hearing this, he turned over and rode his horse directly to the closed gate, just a horse rushed forward, the horse neighed and raised its front hooves and stepped down violently, only to hear a boom, the closed door has been kicked open by the green horse under Wu Laosan's crotch.
"If you have any gasps, get out and talk back." Wu Laosan shouted viciously towards the courtyard, and the two boys with wooden sticks just rushed to the door, and ran to the back house with a fart, and Wu Laosan was carrying a gun in his hand. A black dog with a shiny coat barked vigorously at Wu Laosan on horseback, but was grabbed by the wild bull rushing up from the side and shook the back of the black dog's neck, and the black dog was smashed to the ground by a beautiful dog.
A fat woman came out of the house with a wail, pointed at Wu Laosan and the wild cow and screamed: "If you dare to hurt people in broad daylight, aren't you afraid of the king's law?" Manniu Li didn't pay attention to Mrs. Na, but slowly reached out and grabbed the black dog, and the black dog pulled out twice with one hand and didn't move. Seeing that the black dog was dead, then he turned to look at the woman who was scolding, as soon as he saw the bull turn around, the woman immediately stopped talking and did not dare to scold again, a middle-aged man in his forties ran out and lay on the ground and kept kowtowing, hoping that Wu Laosan could spare his whole family.
"Wang Fa, you think of Wang Fa now, why don't you say Wang Fa when you intercept these students?" Tang Cheng didn't even get out of the car at all, so he just sat in the car and watched Wu Laosan and them rushed into this house and smashed it. "And you all listen to me, any of you have done something unfavorable to these students, go to the barracks outside the town to admit your mistakes, it's okay not to go, just don't ask me to catch it, and when I get caught, your fate is not just as simple as smashing things." The people who came to watch were frightened by Tang Cheng's words, and immediately ran away and disappeared.
"A cart of grain and two barrels of oil will be sent to the barracks outside the town before sunset, otherwise your whole family will wait to be buried in the ground." In this way, Wu Laosan said it twice at noon, and the two local families who robbed the female students had been smashed by Wu Laosan and others. However, Wu Laosan and they just smashed things, but they didn't snatch anything, whether it was those who came to watch or the owner himself, they couldn't find an excuse to embarrass Wu Laosan.
Gujiao Town is not far from Guiyang, of course, there is a town office in the town, Tangcheng they make such a big fuss, the people in the town office will not know, and there are those locals who ran to report to them. The people from the town office came, Tang Cheng didn't say anything, just pushed a few students who had just been picked up from the mountains in front of those people, and the people from the town office naturally had nothing to ask. If it is really theoretical, just the fact that the students were robbed in Gujiao Town is enough for these people in the town office to eat and walk.
"Eat well, rest well, recuperate, and go to Kunming with us in half a month." The four male students who were picked up from the mountains were still in a dream, and if they hadn't seen the two female classmates who had been robbed along the same road with them, they would have thought that they were in a dream. Clean clothes, hot meals, and the warm smiling faces of the people around them, they have been looking forward to this day for more than a year, and the sudden happiness of this arrival makes these students who have suffered disasters unbelievable, but it is real.
Before dark, the food of the two families was delivered, and Wu Laosan directly detained the cart and mules and horses. Early the next morning, the so-called leading figures in Gujiao Town gathered a few more truckloads of grain and things to deliver, and even the town office also sent a cow and some chickens and ducks, and Tang Cheng accepted them without even asking. "Damn, it's really evil, we can't exchange guns for things when we come, why are these locals still in a hurry to give things away for nothing?" Zhu Shunshui's eyes were hot, but he couldn't figure out how Tang Cheng subdued these locals.
