Chapter 9: Learn to Ignore
Liu Goat and Tian Kui came back faster than Tang Cheng expected, but they didn't come back to continue on the road, but to get food. The generous Tian Kui carried half a bag of rice from his own carriage, and Liu Goat casually took down an iron pot from Tian Kui's carriage, "Damn, those guys from the Sichuan Army are wooden heads, and there is a group of people with grain hidden next to them, so that they are starving to death, I really fucking admire." Liu Goat scolded and scolded Hetian Kui again, and Tang Cheng in the carriage who listened was also a little curious.
Tang Cheng wanted to go with him to see what the situation was, but unfortunately there was only one person left here who could use guns, and the old Xu Chun of traditional Chinese medicine was a commanding man, if he also left, the Tian family would have no one to take care of them. Liu Goat and Tian Kui came back and left quickly, so naturally they didn't have time to talk to Tang Cheng in detail, just now they followed Zhang Yun, who was freezing and shivering, to the broken house, and the people lying in it were not easy to scare Tian Kui, he didn't expect these people carrying guns to be so embarrassed.
Tian Kui first took a rough look at the soldiers who had passed out in a coma, and before they could use the medicine, Tian Kui could already conclude that these soldiers were hungry and frozen, and if they each poured a bowl of hot porridge into it, they would be kept running around one by one. Liu Goat is not as meticulous as Tian Kui, and when he saw that the room full of people were still wearing thin summer clothes, he came to the fire, and immediately ordered nine catties to smash the doors of other rooms, and he wanted to change the place for these stupid and dying Sichuan soldiers to stay.
It was not very good to smash open two rooms in succession, and the last one that was smashed open by nine catties was the room where refugees gathered, Liu Goat didn't care about any bullshit and couldn't disturb the people, so he directly went in with a shell gun and went around, and all the refugees in the house who were warming up around the fire were coaxed out by him. "Look, what's that fucking head you have?" Liu Goat hated the iron and pointed at Zhang Yun is scolding, "These guys are all wearing thick tops, and they all have food, you can't ask them for some food first, what the hell is a burning stick in your mother's hand?" ”
Zhang Yun wanted to say that the Sichuan army had military discipline and could not disturb the people, but when he looked at those unconscious brothers in robes, the words came to his lips, and he was swallowed back by Zhang Yun. Since the Sichuan army left Sichuan, it has always strictly adhered to the military regulations that cannot disturb the people, but the Nationalist Government has treated the Sichuan army like a stepmother, the supply of weapons and ammunition will never be sufficient and punctual, and there is no hope that they will be subjected to heavy loads.
Liu Goat is a little fierce, and he is also very strong in his words and deeds, but Zhang Yun knows that Liu Goat is helping them, this room is warm and dry, which is definitely a good thing for the brothers in Lianli, and Zhang Yun does not want his brothers to lie in a damp and cold broken house. "Lao Tzu is not a bandit, and he doesn't look down on your little things, so fucking fuck me out, as far as you want." The refugees who had been driven out of the house by Liu Goat gathered around the door and did not leave, and several of the women even cursed Liu Goat with the most snarky words, but Liu Goat did not pay any attention to these at all.
Jiujin was sent by Liu Goat to help transfer those unconscious Sichuan soldiers to a warm room, and he and Tian Kui came back to get rice and pots in order to cook porridge for those Sichuan soldiers. The refugees who were ignored by Liu Goat entered several other rooms in a row, but they all gave up because the houses were dilapidated and leaky, and everyone in the last room should continue to walk, anyway, they rested in that room for a while, and their physical strength had recovered, if they didn't go, in case the unreasonable ruffian officer turned his face again, they would be miserable.
So just a few minutes after Liu Goat and Tian Kui left with rice and iron pots, Tang Cheng on the carriage saw more than a dozen refugees emerging from the field. When they first saw those figures, Tang Cheng and Lao Xu thought it was Liu Goat and they were back, but when they saw that they were not, the nervous Lao Xu put the muzzle of the gun up. "Uncle Xu, those are just ordinary people, don't be afraid, there is still me." Tang Cheng took out his right hand that was pressed under the military coat, and the shell gun in his hand made Lao Xu secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
The refugees who were scolding as they walked up the avenue, and they stood only a few meters away from Tang Cheng's carriage, but unfortunately they didn't dare to come over, because the shell gun in Tang Cheng's hand was pointing at them, and Tian Kui's two younger brothers were also staring at them with thick sticks. Tang Cheng was reluctant to point a gun at these people who were obviously refugees, but behind him were the women and children of the Tian family, the old and weak, and Liu Shanyang told him a lot about the robbery of the homeless soldiers along the way, so Tang Cheng could only harden his heart and ignore all this.
Seeing that Tang Cheng and Lao Xu both had guns in their hands, these refugees who wanted to get together had no choice but to leave, but these people didn't leave much time but came back, and stopped just a dozen meters in front of Tang Cheng's carriage. The moment he lowered the muzzle of the gun, Tang Cheng unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that these refugees who had gone and returned would rush over. Looking back at the direction when he came, the red-hot sky gradually faded, although I don't know what Liu Goat did for so long without replying, but Tang Cheng Zhilu Dao at least is safe here.
Not everyone has such a mentality as Tang Cheng, the refugees and routs who gradually caught up from behind saw that the carriages that overtook them were all parked here, everyone was surprised, they couldn't figure out what these carriages were not leaving, and more people were speculating whether something was happening in front of them. Hearing their discussion, Tang Cheng on the carriage was still lying steadily, but the shell gun under the military coat had already pointed at the routed soldiers who had just arrived here.
As the time passed, the refugees who couldn't help but speculate in their hearts saw that the carriage was not leaving, and they also chose to stop here with a wait-and-see attitude, and gradually the refugees and routs here began to increase in the carriage, and a few more courageous refugees also stretched their necks to look at Tang Cheng lying in the carriage. There were more people around the carriage, and Tian Kui's two younger brothers were also carrying sticks to guard their carriages, Tang Cheng didn't want to let these people who were looking for safety leave like that, so he had to let Lao Xu carry a rifle to help the Tian family's people protect their carriage and family.
Tang Cheng, who turned over and sat up from the carriage, moved too suddenly, startling the refugees and the routs who approached the carriage, and the refugees were only afraid of the shell gun in Tang Cheng's hand, but those rout soldiers were startled by the murderous aura on Tang Cheng's body. Enduring the pain on his body, Tang Cheng wrapped in the bloodstained military coat and looked at the confused people in front of him expressionlessly, and the moment he jumped out of the carriage, Tang Cheng's injured leg twitched involuntarily, but then it hurt in the bottom of his heart that was covered by the numb eyes of these people.
Young bodies naturally have the advantage of being young, but the elderly, women and children accompanying the refugees are becoming more and more exhausted, and more and more people stop to rest their feet alone or in twos and threes. Every time Tang Cheng, who was expressionless, turned his head, he always found that the length of the line was gradually increasing. More and more refugees who caught up from behind chose to stop and rest with everyone to regain their strength.
Whether it was a quarter of an hour's rest, two or three hours, Tang Cheng did not help to alleviate their helplessness and hesitation, these refugees who had lost their faith did not know where they were going, most of them were just aimlessly following the flow, everyone walked and he left, everyone stopped and stopped. Tang Cheng Tur remembered that when he fled from Suzhou to Nanjing, did the national soldiers he met on the way also see himself in the mixed refugees like this.
Half an hour later, Liu Goat and the others still did not move, but some of the routs who stayed here couldn't sit still, they gathered together in a whisper, and finally more than a dozen rout soldiers gathered together and prepared to leave. The routs passing by the carriage all looked at Tang Cheng without exception, and Tang Cheng, who was holding the shell gun in both hands, was not afraid of their eyes, as long as he raised the muzzle of the gun slightly, these routs who were overtaken by them along the way would choose to bow their heads and leave, Tang Cheng didn't think they had the courage to dare to fight their shell guns.
People are social animals, this is a passage that Robert said to Tang Cheng, seeing that there were already people preparing to leave, some of the refugees who stopped to rest couldn't sit still and wanted to leave with those routs, the originally quiet crowd immediately began to be noisy, Tian Kui's two younger brothers immediately clenched the wooden sticks in their hands and stared at the crowd close to his carriage. "Pop" The gun in Tang Cheng's hand rang out, and a refugee who wanted to reach out and lift the carriage cover rushed back into the crowd like a rabbit, and the noisy crowd immediately quieted down, and everyone looked at Tang Cheng, who had been standing in the carriage at some point, and the shell gun in his hand that was still smoking.
"If you want to leave, hurry up, the carriage is full of old people, children and female dependents, if you dare to stretch out your hand, I will send him back to his hometown." Tang Cheng's words about going back to his hometown are definitely not a good word, the people on the avenue understand the meaning, even if their brains can't turn around, as long as they see the shell gun in Tang Cheng's hand, they all choose to bow their heads and move quickly. Tang Cheng, who was firing a gun in the sky, actually didn't know that his hands were shaking all the time, he was not afraid, but he felt a little uncomfortable, because now all the people he was pointing at the muzzle of his guns were unarmed civilians.
If Robert knew about these things he had done at this time, I don't know if he would complain about himself, but Robert taught Tang Cheng to have love and fraternity and great love since he was a child, but he had already violated Robert's intentions just now. Tang Cheng with remorse in his eyes slowly lowered the muzzle of the gun, but his fingers never left the trigger, all the things he had experienced had made Tang Cheng practice a hard-hearted heart, if he couldn't do what Liu Goat requested, he would also become a part of the refugees with a wound on his leg, but Tang Cheng didn't want to do this, so he had to learn to ignore it.
