"How could we be rescued by Uncle Han back to Yongxing Village? I remember that when the truck was hit by Japanese artillery fire, I was pushed by the air and fell into the river, but that bit of water didn't send us all the way to Xishui County, right? "The people of the Han family were busy washing and peeling the pheasants that came from the mountain just now, and there were only the three of Tang Cheng in the house, and when there were only their own people, Tang Cheng spoke a little less restrained.

"You still have the face to say, the deflated calf thing is not big, dead and dead, if it weren't for me and the stone carrying you all the way down the river to the south, you would have been captured by the little devil a long time ago." Lao Dongbei avoided the important and only said that he and Liu Shishi carried Tang Cheng to escape, but did not mention the reason why they appeared in Xishui County. Tang Cheng knew that Lao Dongbei was a stubborn person, so he shifted his gaze to Liu Shishi, and Liu Shishi, whose eyes were flashing, did not dare to look at Tang Cheng, so he could only lower his head and pretend to fiddle with Tang Cheng's shell gun placed next to the bed.

"Stone, take that leather satchel out of your baggage." Summoning this Liu Shi to go to the leather satchel, Tang Cheng took out a stack of Japanese military documents and papers from it, "My bag has always been used to hold medicine and eat, when did you have more of these things?" The stone followed me that night, you put this thing, right? Tang Cheng looked at Lao Dongbei, who was smoking on fire, the latter nodded but couldn't free his mouth to speak, and when the cigarette in his mouth was lit and he took a puff, Lao Dongbei opened his mouth to answer Tang Cheng's inquiry.

"Isn't that the few boys who followed me rushed to the little devil's tent to look for medicine, the medicine was not found, but this thing made a big stack, I thought that you would know the words of the little devil, so I thought that when you were free, I would take a closer look and see if I could figure out the situation of the little devil or something. Lao Tzu would have thought that we would be defeated, and he would have forgotten these things after such a delay, if you hadn't started, I wouldn't have remembered this. The frowning old Northeast deliberately changed the topic to other places, but Liu Shishi only cared about avoiding Tang Cheng's questioning, but did not answer his words.

In fact, there is no need to ask, as long as he looks at the appearance of Lao Northeast and Liu Shishi as mountain people and the people's clothes on his body, Tang Cheng already understands the intentions of Lao Dongbei and Liu Shishi in his heart. On the night of the night attack, the 30 people of the second company were only a dozen people left when they broke through and retreated, and even Niu Laogui died under the fire of the Japanese army, and the second company had already suffered casualties like that, Tang Cheng did not blame Lao Dongbei and Liu Shishi for having thoughts and actions to flee the battlefield, but he just couldn't understand why these two goods had to take him all the way south.

"Let's talk about it, why do you have to go south to Xishui, why don't you go back to Wuhan to find Jiujin and them?" After taking the cigarette handed by Lao Dongbei and holding it in his mouth, and enjoying Liu Shishi's cigarette lighting service, Tang Cheng still insisted on getting things out. Tang Cheng fled from Shanghai with Xie Bo, escaped from Nanjing with Liu Goat, and he also took nine catties with them to try to escape from Macheng, he was no stranger to being a rout, Tang Cheng asked just to find out how Lao Dongbei and Liu Shi lived in the past few days when they were in a coma.

"The two of us have to carry you, and we have to be careful not to be pursued by the little devils and discovered, at that time it was safest to go down the river, so we discredited all the way, and at dawn was blocked by a river, and the way stopped. At that time, we didn't know the direction, so we thought about crossing the river first, who knew that there was a big water upstream, and the three of us were directly pushed into the Maxi River by the water, just in time for Uncle Han to come back from the county seat and pass by the river, so we carried you to this Yongxing Village. ”

Tang Cheng lowered the corners of his eyes and looked at Liu Shishi's two hands, the bruises on those two hands could already explain the problem, Tang Cheng grinned when he raised his head again, but the moisture in his eyes had already revealed the excitement in his heart. "I heard Uncle Han say just now that there are already rout troops in the county, I wonder if those rout soldiers can't be withdrawn from the direction of Macheng, if they are withdrawn from Guangji, this Xishui County will be in trouble." Tang Cheng handed the two gold bars to Lao Dongbei, "Tomorrow I will go to the county seat to take a walk around and listen to the news, if something is wrong, get two carriages, and let's take Uncle Han's family to Wuhan." ”

Lao Dongbei took the gold bar handed by Tang Cheng and tossed it in his hand, but the expression on his face already showed that he had a different opinion, "Don't go to Wuhan, if it's like you said, the little devil must fight Wuhan, let's just enter Wuhan, maybe we will have to go south again the next day." If they are targeted by those gendarmes, let alone us, maybe even Uncle Han's family will have to be arrested and locked up by them, and it will be too late to say anything. ”

Old Northeast's words made Tang Cheng a little surprised, Old Northeast usually looks like a big guy, but he didn't expect to be a rough and fine person, Tang Cheng's heart somewhat agreed with Old Northeast's words. But if you don't go to Wuhan, what will happen to the nine catties left behind in Sanli Town, those injured brothers have to stay in Wuhan, so don't you just leave them alone? "The brothers who stayed in Wuhan know what to expect, so you better worry about the three of us first." Old Northeast glared at Tang Cheng angrily, just by looking at the expression on Tang Cheng's face, Old Northeast had already guessed what he was thinking.

Liu Shishi has a good relationship with Jiujin, but Liu Shishi of this meeting is not in favor of returning to Wuhan, but Jiujin They still have more than a dozen people, with food and drink, and a lot of weapons and ammunition, but the three of them have become like this, and then go to Wuhan stupidly, isn't that the initiative to jump into the fire pit. has understood the meaning of Lao Dongbei and Liu Shishi, Tang Cheng no longer insists on returning to Wuhan, and the people who carry guns and food will always face danger head-on, and Tang Cheng on the bed can only sigh secretly, and they will have to rely on nine catties to master it themselves.

The pheasants hunted from the mountains had obviously been put into the pot, and the fragrance permeated the courtyard, and the three people in the house involuntarily shook their noses, some greedily smelling the smell of meat in the air. Since the day they left Wuhan, Tang Cheng and they have been gnawing on flatbread to get by, carrying Tang Cheng all the way to escape Lao Dongbei and Liu Shishi have even eaten wild vegetables and grass roots, which will smell the aroma of meat, Liu Shishi's shriveled stomach immediately emitted a long series of grunts, even Lao Dongbei is also smacking.

Liu Shishi and Lao Dongbei's greed made Tang Cheng laugh unconsciously, Liu Shi was still a little embarrassed, but Lao Northeast didn't care. "How many bullets do we have? How many more grenades are there? After laughing for a while, Tang Cheng straightened his face and began to ask about the situation of the ammunition in the old Northeast. Weapons are the second life of soldiers, as long as they can still hold weapons, they must ensure that there is ammunition to maintain the use of weapons, although the three of them are in trouble, but Tang Cheng cannot take it lightly.

"I have already buried the machine gun without bullets, I and the stone rifle were brought out, there are 32 rifle bullets, two grenades, and 70 short gun bullets." Old Northeast's words made Tang Cheng feel bitter, if he encountered Japanese soldiers or bandits on the way south, this bullet would not be enough to fight the three of them in a blocking battle. However, after thinking about what Uncle Han said, Tang Cheng thought about it, and his stiff expression eased a little.

"In this way, when you go to the county seat tomorrow to inquire about the situation, if you encounter a rout, you can get some bullets from them and come back, spend money to buy them or grab them directly, it's up to you. If there are grenades and get a few back, so many routs will definitely have guys who sell guns and bullets. Tang Cheng couldn't help but think of Liu Goat's exchange of food for weapons and ammunition from the defeated soldiers outside Nanjing, but he didn't expect that he would do the same thing.

"I think it will work, when we are in Macheng, there are always guys with guns who want to sell weapons and ammunition to our garrison." Old Northeast's face was beaming with joy, and he was already fantasizing about the reloading of the machine gun tomorrow. However, Tang Cheng's next advice directly shattered his illusions, they only have three people now, and bringing out a machine gun will only cause unnecessary peeping, and the cost of a machine gun is enough to arm the three of them to the teeth, so Tang Cheng just told them to only sell bullets and grenades, and not to spend money on firearms.

"It's time to eat" Lao Dongbei was still secretly angry with Tang Cheng, but Xiaolian's mother brought a bowl of chicken into the house, Tang Cheng was a wounded, this bowl of chicken was obviously for Tang Cheng, as for Lao Dongbei and Liu Shishi, they were going to eat in the courtyard. Xiaolian, who was hiding behind her mother, looked away, her eyes shuttled back and forth between Tang Cheng and the meat bowl, and the longing in her eyes had already revealed her interest in chicken and curiosity about Tang Cheng.

"Let's go out to eat together, I've been in bed long enough to be active." The woman's hand was full of meat, although Tang Cheng didn't know how many pheasants they had hunted back from the mountains in the old northeast, but he was sure that the chicken in this big bowl would definitely weigh a whole one. Tang Cheng, who freely followed Robert to preach everywhere, knew what the people ate at home, and such a bowl of meat was his own, but Tang Cheng felt that he couldn't stand it.

Tang Cheng insisted on going to the courtyard to eat with everyone, and the people of the Han family were not easy to object, so they could only let Tang Cheng toss. Xu had been lying on the bed for a long time, and as soon as Tang Cheng, whose legs landed on the ground, stood up, he felt that his legs were weak for a while, if it weren't for Liu Shishi's quick hand and reaching out to help him, maybe Tang Cheng would have fallen forward and fell into the room. Shaking off Liu Shishi's support, Tang Cheng gritted his teeth and held on to the wall and moved out of the house step by step, although the speed of movement was like turtle speed, but it would not stop because of dizziness and weak legs.

"I am a soldier, and if I am a soldier, I should have my own persistence, which is the pride of a soldier, and I must not forget it at any time." Tang Cheng, who was finally standing in the courtyard, only smiled faintly in the face of Uncle Han's praise, this sentence was told by Xie Bo, and now he sued him again.
