"Third brother, we need a lot of big cars to leave tomorrow. Now it's up to you. We have no shortage of money, as long as the big cars are strong enough." Tang Cheng and Huang Chengzhong finalized a list of nearly 100 people to return home.
Escorting so many disabled soldiers back to Yunnan is not something that a few large trucks can do, so Tang Cheng told Wu Laosan that he needed a lot of large trucks. Counting the things he brought with him and the necessary supplies on the road, Tang Cheng
They need at least 20 carts for the city, as well as horses for the scouts.
When he wanted to take money from himself again, Liu Shitou reluctantly took out two gold bars and threw them to Wu Laosan. Although he still had a lot of gold bars with him, Liu Shitou's stingy temper made him very uncomfortable.
The money to buy a big car. "Shitou, this money is not ours in the first place. Besides, we still have those private goods. If we dispose of them on the way, your gold bars may be put into the bag again in the blink of an eye."
." Tang Cheng smiled and stroked Liu Shitou's head, coaxing Liu Shitou to smile with just a few words.
"Mr. Mu, you are still doing the same thing here. You need to prepare more medicines that may be used on the road. There are not many medicines in the reception station. You can just bring more Chinese medicine now. We will find a place to get some Western medicine on the way.
"Dice, you and Fatty Ma prepare more dry food for the road. In order to avoid the military commanders, we may not have time to stop in the first two days." Tangcheng has already made a rough deduction on the speed of the westward march.
Two days was the time for them to cross Changsha.
"Okay, let's all go back and make preparations. Pack your own things. Don't wait until you leave to find out that you are missing something." After driving away everyone who had been busy for a long time, Tang Cheng was a little stunned when he was finally free.
Sitting on the bedside, he didn't know what to do. Tang Cheng actually didn't know whether it was right to take Liu Shitou and the others westward to Yunnan, but at least he had to go to Kunming, because his passport was still in Mrs. Huang's hand.
Here, that passport is Tangcheng's last escape route.
What Tang Cheng said in front of Huang Chengzhong and Zhao Dapao was right. He was tired of the war. When he thought of those familiar faces, Tang Cheng couldn't sleep all night long. This was also why his injuries recovered so slowly.
The main reason. Tang Cheng hates the Japanese in Shanghai, hates Japanese soldiers, hates all Japanese in the world, but he has also killed many Japanese and Japanese soldiers. To a certain extent, he has avenged Robert
, also avenged Liu Yangyang.
Tangcheng was raised by Robert, and the education he received was different from that of Chinese children, so deep down he did not have much sense of responsibility for the country and the nation. Xie Bo instilled in Tangcheng the principles of family, country, and world.
, but Tang Cheng likes Liu Yangyang's bandit-like reasoning. In Tang Cheng's consciousness, only by saving his own life can he have the capital to continue fighting the Japanese army. For someone like Xie Bo to be willing to sacrifice his life and shed blood, Tang Cheng
The city cannot be built.
After getting used to the dangers of the battlefield, Tang Cheng had gradually become indifferent to death. After being forced to lose contact with Jiujin and the others, Tang Cheng once thought of just dying on the battlefield. But he came into contact with so many people along the way south.
After making peace with the people, Tang Cheng gradually changed his mind, especially after seeing so many disabled soldiers in Liuyang, Tang Cheng made up his mind to survive. These soldiers, like Xie Bo, fought for the country and the nation.
There was blood left, but now they can only drag their disabled bodies around helplessly in the shelter. Tang Cheng does not want to be like them, so he must leave here before he becomes like them.
After pondering for a long time, Tang Cheng finally closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. Maybe he had figured out something, or maybe he could finally let go of the big stone hanging in his heart. Tang Cheng slept well this night. Have a good night.
Unfortunately, Tang Cheng and others were unable to travel the next day because it started to rain before dawn the next day. "Damn it, if I had known it would rain, Fatty and I wouldn't have to work half the night last night." Help.
The fat man who was riding the horse was preparing dry food with a pair of dice under his eyes, and he was helplessly cursing God with a pair of dark circles. Unfortunately, the more fierce he scolded, the heavier the rain outside.
A group of people chatted and laughed after breakfast. Tang Cheng was still nestled in his recliner and watched the rain outside the house in silence. The rain was caused by the weather. These were unexpected changes for them. It rained,
Everyone was idle in the room, otherwise Wu Laosan, who was looking for the cart, couldn't be idle. He hurriedly pulled off a raincoat, and Wu Laosan took the gold bars Liu Shitou gave him and left the military camp. Wu Laosan was going to go
The place is Liuyang City, and he has been running to Liuyang City frequently during this period. With the help of his new friends in the world, Wu Laosan got enough big cars last night, and now he is going to deliver money.
The muddy loess road was not suitable for bicycles, so Wu Laosan borrowed a horse from the military camp, but not far out of the military camp, Wu Laosan noticed someone following him. Thinking of what Huang Chengzhong and Zhao Dapao said that day
Wu Laosan calmly entered Liuyang City after what happened. After entering the city, Wu Laosan did not get rid of the tail that was following him, but swaggered into a restaurant for dinner. Like ordinary drinkers, he had already sat down.
Wu Laosan only focused on the food and wine served by the waiter, but he was actually paying attention to the movements and suspicious people around him.
When leaving the military camp to go to Yunnan, Tang Cheng did not want to make this matter as mysterious as being a thief. Since the sign of the Yunnan Army was in the open, Tang Cheng planned to leave openly, so Wu Laosan did not worry about it.
He just wanted to find out who was following him, which affected his new friends. After finishing the meal, Wu Laosan failed to find the person following him. In desperation, Wu Laosan had no choice but to leave.
"What a ghost." Wu Laosan couldn't help but laugh at himself. He thought he was a veteran, but he couldn't find the person following him. It seemed that a comfortable life was not a good thing for him.
It only took an hour for Wu Laosan to get those large trucks from his friends. At a small cost, the day laborers hired by Wu Laosan would drive the trucks to the military camp. Wu Laosan
Just follow them on horseback.
"Even you are being followed?" Huang Chengzhong was very surprised. He couldn't understand why those people from the military command, even if they were following him and Zhao Dapao, would follow a humble person like Wu Laosan. Tangcheng didn't do that.
He showed the same surprise as Huang Chengzhong. Since the military commander came to the military camp, it means that he has set his sights on this place. Anyone they think is suspicious in the military camp will become the target of investigation, and Wu Laosan will certainly not be spared.
"It's okay. If they want to follow, just let them follow. Anyway, we have no leverage in their hands. At least we are still soldiers now. They don't dare to mess around." Tang Cheng's very relaxed attitude made Wu Laosan's heart gradually grow.
After calming down. When Tangcheng was so calm, Huang Chengzhong didn't say anything more. He just discussed with Tangcheng the matter of escorting the disabled soldiers. However, with the incident of Wu Laosan being followed, those who had participated in the munitions
The soldiers who were buying and selling could not go on the road with Tang Cheng and the others. Those soldiers had to set off early tonight and then wait to meet up with Tang Cheng and the others halfway.
Of course, those who followed Wu Laosan were people from the military command. A large number of mules, horses and carts were driven back to the military camp. This matter had also been informed to Shen Huaiyu. He couldn't figure out what the reception station wanted with so many carts. Shen Huaiyu He had no choice but to order his action team to arrest a guy who sold Wu Laosan a big car. "Sir, I really don't know. He just said that there are too many disabled people in the shelter. The chief in the shelter now wants to The disabled were all sent back to their hometowns in Yunnan, that's why these big trucks are needed." The face of the person arrested by the military unified action team was full of grievances, and he had no idea what was happening.
"Stationmaster, I think it's the man named Huang who is playing tricks. I haven't heard of any army doing this. Disabled soldiers usually find their own way or return home." Shen Huaiyu's men began to doubt this. It was Huang Chengzhong's smoke bomb, and his purpose was to confuse the attention and investigation of people like him.
"Then keep an eye on Huang Chengzhong and Zhao Dapao. As for the disabled soldiers returning home, don't worry about them. They will always go back to Yunnan through Changsha. We will just kidnap them halfway and inspect them carefully." Shen As expected, Huaiyu didn't care about the disabled soldiers returning home. He also believed that Huang Chengzhong and Zhao Dapao were the key to reselling arms. Shen Huaiyu didn't know that it was his order that allowed the real owner of the arms reselling to go. The envoy, once Tangcheng escapes his sight, will never be found again.
The pouring rain gradually stopped after noon. Tang Cheng did not plan to leave in the afternoon, which would bring unnecessary misunderstandings to the military commanders who were secretly watching. Therefore, Tang Cheng decided to wait until early tomorrow morning to leave, and it rained continuously for two consecutive mornings. , the probability of this should be low. This should be his last night in this military camp. After dinner, Tang Cheng let Liu Shitou and Zhang Xiaobao support him and walked slowly in the shelter, and even went to see it. I picked up the small tree planted by Zhang Xiaobao in a corner of the military camp.
"Old Huang, we have been together for a few months, and we have developed a friendship. Listen to my advice, the people in the military command are not easy to fool. Don't get involved in arms matters anymore. Be careful, it will cause big trouble. Just follow this I said, register those arms immediately, and no matter who investigates the matter, you can all be justified." Seeing that Huang Chengzhong was still hesitant, Tang Cheng couldn't help but scratch his head.
"Old Huang, have you ever thought about it, if something happens to you and Zhao Dapao, what will happen to the wounded soldiers here? Can you guarantee that the next station commander can take care of them like you two? Don't say you haven't been there. Do you also want this place to be like those places for other troops? Think about it." Tang Cheng was helped away by Liu Shitou and Zhang Xiaobao, leaving only Huang Chengzhong, whose expression was constantly changing, stiffening and still standing. In the dark courtyard.
