"No, no one can touch this money. We'll wait until Tang Cheng wakes up. If anyone wants to stir up trouble, first ask if this gun will answer." When Tang Cheng regained consciousness from the coma, he happened to hear Jiu Jin's angry shouts.
He opened his eyes slightly and looked in the direction of the sound. The pale Jiujin was leading Liu Shitou and several soldiers from the garrison who were also wrapped in gauze to confront each other. Both sides had guns in their hands.
The difference was that the soldiers of the garrison were holding rifles, while Jiu Jin and Liu Shitou were carrying shell guns with their noses wide open.
"The county town has been taken over by the little devils. It's impossible for you guys to enter the city. I advise you to stay here first. Tangcheng has woken up. Let's listen to what he wants first.
." Tang Cheng turned his head to his left side, and then he discovered that Heizi, a former bandit, was squatting next to him. He didn't have a gun in his hand, but he was carrying the crossbow that Tang Cheng used for fun.
"It's great that you're awake. I was afraid that you, like the regiment leader, would never wake up again." Hearing Heizi's voice, Jiujin, who was confronting the soldiers of the garrison, turned around and looked at Tangcheng.
When Tang Cheng was blinking at him, the ecstatic Jiujin lowered the shell gun in his hand and walked to Tang Cheng's side in two steps. Tang Cheng, who had just regained consciousness, did not fully hear what Jiujin had just said. He just smiled and signaled
Jiujin helped himself to sit up, and when he saw Jiujin and Heizi, Tang Cheng already knew that he was in Beishan now, and he was now eager to know how Liu Yangyang was doing.
"The leader is gone." Faced with Tang Cheng's question, Jiu Jin's eyes turned red and he cried. Tang Cheng knew that Jiu Jin was a guy who never lied, but he couldn't accept Jiu Jin's answer, so he turned his attention to Liu Shitou.
, this guy who has been following Liu Yangyang should know the truth. "The captain's injury was too serious. After we rushed back to Beishan, the captain was gone. The bullets smashed his chest." Liu Shitou cried loudly.
He looked like a child at this moment, but his answer was also not accepted by Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng, who shook his head repeatedly, turned his attention to Heizi next to him.
All the people in the garrison who appeared in Tang Cheng's sight confirmed that Jiujin was not lying, but Tang Cheng still refused to believe that Liu Yangyang was dead. "How could he be dead? How could he be dead? You lied to me,
You are all lying to me." Tang Cheng ignored the wound on his chest, grabbed the nine-pound front lining and shouted loudly. "Uncle Liu has fought in Shanghai twice, and when he fought in Nanjing, he was surrounded by so many little devils.
Why did he die in a small place like Mengcheng? He himself said that the Japanese who can kill him haven't even been born yet. You are lying to me, right? Right?"
No matter how much Tang Cheng shook Jiu Jin, the latter just lowered his head and said nothing. Liu Shitou, who was kneeling on the ground, was crying so hard that he couldn't even breathe. Even Heizi, who was once said by Tang Cheng to be a bandit kid,
They all quietly turned their heads. "I knew you were all lying to me. Uncle Liu must be seriously injured. You guys don't want to treat his injuries, right? If you don't treat him, I will. Dr. Arita did it."
First aid kit, I'm going to treat Uncle Liu's injury." Tang Cheng, who was bleeding from his chest, lifted the military blanket covering his legs and stood up. Before he could get up to move forward, he fell down and passed out again.
When Tang Cheng woke up again, he was the only one in the empty cave. Jiu Jin and the others were gone. By the light of the torches on the earth wall of the cave, Tang Cheng looked around and saw that his helmet
Like the weapons, they were all around him. He reached out and touched his chest. Tang Cheng found that the gauze that had been soaked with blood had been replaced. He took a deep breath according to the method taught by Tian Kui.
Tang Cheng, who didn't notice anything strange about his body, breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the injury on his chest was not serious.
A soldier cannot be without weapons in his hands. This is what Robert and Xie Bo both told Tang Cheng. So the first thing Tang Cheng did when he could sit up on his own was to grab a shell gun from his side and hold it in his hand. The grip of the pistol was
Inspired by Tang Cheng's inexplicable courage, the strength that had disappeared before suddenly returned to Tang Cheng's body. After unloading the magazine with difficulty to confirm that there were bullets inside, Tang Cheng reloaded the magazine and drilled out of the hole with the shell gun.
Got out.
This is Beishan. Tang Cheng, who emerged from the hole, looked at the familiar terrain around him and was immediately sure that he was in Beishan at this moment. The hole in Beishan was dug on the site of the bandit's lair that was burned down by fire. It was Tang who directed the excavation at that time.
City, the one who is most familiar with the terrain here among the garrison is Tangcheng. The garrison? Uncle Liu? The figure of Liu Yangyang suddenly flashed in his mind. Thinking of the garrison in Tangcheng, the next thing that comes to mind is the injured Liu Yangyang. I don’t know that Liu Yangyang
How is uncle doing now?
When Tang Cheng was unconscious before, Jiu Jin's voice kept appearing in his head. Tang Cheng thought the monkey was a dream. In this dream, Jiu Jin told Tang Cheng that Liu Yangyang, who was seriously injured, died after being sent to Beishan.
Angry. Tang Cheng woke up in the cave and didn't see Jiujin. He took it for granted that it was just a dream and everything that appeared in the dream was fake. Tang Cheng, who was raised by Robert since he was a child, did not believe in ghosts and gods.
He said that he only believed what he saw with his own eyes.
After searching for a while, Tang Cheng found a pile of new soil under a big tree not far from the cave. Looking at the shape of the new soil, Tang Cheng suddenly felt bad in his heart.
That pile of soil looked like a grave. Tang Cheng took a few steps towards the new pile of soil and heard intermittently whimpering sounds in his ears. Tang Cheng was stunned for a moment. There shouldn't be birds and beasts here. How could there be such a sound?
Appeared. After calming down, Tang Cheng listened carefully for a while, and then finally confirmed that the whimpering sound should be the cry of a person, but the person crying must have covered his mouth and didn't want others to hear his cry, so
Then the crying will be intermittent.
"Liu Shitou?" After Tang Cheng walked around the pile of new soil, the little figure kneeling in front of the pile made Tang Cheng scream out. "Uncle Liu is injured. If you don't take care of him, you kid will kneel down."
What are you doing here?" The appearance of Tang Cheng made Liu Shitou, who was crying and out of breath, find some solace, but what Tang Cheng said next made Liu Shitou's hair stand on end. He and Brother Jiujin had obviously already beaten Liu Shitou.
The news of Goat's death was told to Tang Cheng, but why did Tang Cheng look like he didn't know about the news that the leader was dead? Maybe Tang Cheng was stunned by the news of the leader's death.
"Company Commander Tang, our regimental leader is dead. We have already told you, don't you remember? You still grabbed Brother Jiujin and asked him for a long time, but you have forgotten." Liu Shitou looked at it with eyes red from crying.
Looking at Tang Cheng, he was not sure whether Captain Tang was stupid, but he wanted to tell Tang Cheng exactly what happened. Wasn't that a dream? After listening to Liu Shitou's words, Tang Cheng, who was standing in front of the mound, stared blankly.
Is Uncle Liu really dead? Are all the words Jiujin said to him in his dream true?
Seeing that Tang Cheng suddenly stood silent, Liu Shitou stood up and pulled Tang Cheng to the front of the mound. Pointing to the extremely crude wooden board in front of the mound, he said, "Captain Liu is buried under here."
, we watched the burial, and the tombstone was cut out by Uncle Da Zhuang with a bayonet, but none of us can read. Brother Jiujin said that when you wake up, write words on the board." Tang Cheng, who stiffened like a puppet, followed Liu's steps.
Shitou looked at the wooden board, and the tears accumulated in his eyes finally flowed out, dripping down his face on the wooden board.
In Tang Cheng's mind, Liu Yangyang, like Robert, was a good mentor who guided his life. Every time Tang Cheng argued with Liu Yangyang, he would always say that Liu Yangyang turned him into a soldier.
Little did he know that when Tang Cheng said these words, he was actually very grateful from the bottom of his heart that Liu Yangyang taught him the skills of fighting and battlefield survival. If it weren't for this gratitude, maybe after the garrison retreated to the Mengcheng barracks, Tang Cheng would not have
I will follow Liu Yangyang to evacuate the county through tunnels, and I will never follow Liu Yangyang to become a deserter again.
If Robert is a relative of Tang Cheng and the first teacher who taught Tang Cheng how to behave, then in Tang Cheng's heart, Liu Yangyang is another relative of Tang Cheng. Looking at the mounds and wooden boards in front of him, he couldn't cry.
Tangcheng could only kneel in front of the grave and cry silently. Robert, whom he regarded as his father, died in Shanghai. Now, another relative died in Mengcheng. Did God really want him to be alone?
? Tang Cheng began to think wildly in his head, why the people he regarded as relatives left him one after another. Why?
"If there are no incense candles, just light some cigarettes for the leader. He likes to smoke." At some point, Jiujin had been standing behind Tang Cheng for a while, holding half a pack of crumpled cigarettes and a box of matches.
Putting it in front of Tang Cheng, Jiujin pulled Liu Shitou away who was unwilling to leave, leaving this place to Tang Cheng. This was the second time that Tang Cheng lost a relative. It was different from the last time he watched Robert leave.
Tang Cheng was not able to see Liu Yangyang for the last time this time, but the pain in his heart was the same.
"Uncle Liu, I never called you uncle in front of you. Do you blame me?" Tang Cheng lit three cigarettes with trembling hands and placed them in front of Liu Yangyang's grave, and then lit one for himself.
He smoked one. "I have never called you uncle. In fact, in my heart, you have long been my relative and family member. But you, as an uncle, are too irresponsible. You left me here alone."
In this world, I promise you that I will live well, don’t worry.”
"Uncle, you go first and occupy a good place. I will go down and accompany you soon." Tang Cheng, who was kneeling in front of the grave, bit his lips and kowtowed to Liu Yangyang, but the tears in his eyes could not stop flowing down.
, the tears flowing down his chin mixed with the blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth, making Tang Cheng, who was crying silently, look somewhat ferocious.
