When Tang Cheng's group arrived at Gujiao Town, it was still bright, but a large number of local people had already gathered outside the dilapidated courtyards where the defeated troops gathered. Of course, these people did not come here because they were full and had nothing to do.
A young man who looked like a student was the organizer of these people. The people shouted slogans for the defeated soldiers to get out of Gujiao Town, while throwing stones, sticks and other objects in their hands into the yard.
Most of the defeated soldiers in the courtyard were wounded. They had exhausted almost all their energy to return to Gujiao Town all the way from Wuhan. Although a few defeated soldiers held on to guard the courtyard gate, but as time went by,
The number of people gathered around increased, and it was only a matter of time before the courtyard was breached. Tang Cheng had no choice but to order Hou San and others to shoot into the sky. These people gathered here might dare to embarrass the wounded soldiers in the courtyard, but they did not have the courage to fight with Tang Cheng
They were armed with dozens of guns.
"I don't care whether they are deserters or defeated soldiers. In fact, deserters and defeated soldiers mean the same thing, but one thing you need to pay attention to is that these deserters who are despised by you have all fought with the Japanese army. Maybe they are facing
You are afraid of powerful enemies, but this does not become a reason for you to drive them away. Fear is human nature. Everyone will be afraid, including you. When you hide in the trenches and face endless artillery fire, you may do the same.
Act like them."
The few students who organized the people to gather here looked at Tangcheng silently at first, but when the surrounding crowd gradually dispersed, these students had to leave, because they couldn't accomplish anything with just a few of them.
Tang Cheng and the others were all wearing military uniforms, and most of the soldiers who jumped out of the cart spoke their hometown dialect, so the few broken soldiers who were guarding the gate of the courtyard easily opened the gate and let Tang Cheng and the others in.
Different from the hustle and bustle outside, the dilapidated courtyard seemed a bit eerie and quiet. There was not a single medical officer in sight, only hundreds of wounded soldiers lying on the hay with dull faces. All that filled the ears were the sounds of the sick and wounded.
Wailing, there is a putrid smell in the air. There is pus, blood and filth everywhere, as well as the corpses of rats and cockroaches. It can be seen that this yard has not been cleaned at all for a long time. Just like all the way to Tangcheng
As he feared, this courtyard filled with wounded soldiers was simply a burial ground and a mass grave. Just standing in it, Tang Cheng felt that his life span had been shortened a lot.
The civilians who had been following along were all panic-stricken when they saw the situation, and begged Tangcheng, "Sir, you can't leave us here. We are fine. We can drive and walk. Please take us there! We are here for rescue."
The dead who never come back..."
"Who said that?" Tang Cheng's voice rose inexplicably, interrupting the civilians' pleas. "As long as we take good care of them, except for those who are seriously injured, who can't be saved?!" Tang Cheng's voice alarmed the survivors in the yard.
The wounded soldiers raised their heads one by one, looking at these strangers who had come to the camp inexplicably, with questions in their eyes: What on earth do they want to do? Tang Cheng straightened his back and faced hundreds of doubtful glances.
A little older, "Who said you are waiting to die here!"
"Sir, do we really want to stay in this hellish place?" Tangcheng and the others had stayed in this courtyard full of death all night. Mu Lianshan directed them to clean up the courtyard together and clean up the wounded soldiers one by one.
Wounds. But he still couldn't figure out why there were so many things happening in Tangcheng.
"This is the third time you have asked this question!" Tang Cheng did not look back, concentrating on changing the bandage of a wounded soldier who had an arrow in his shoulder. Although Tang Cheng's movements were still very clumsy, after coming here overnight, the wounded soldier
Their eyes have changed. Although their doubts have not diminished, they have become more grateful. "My answer is still the same. Now that I have seen it, how can I leave with peace of mind?"
Ignoring the angry gazes of the wounded soldiers around him, Mu Lianshan still tried to persuade Tang Cheng: "This is really not your job. You said you were going to take us people to Kunming. Have you forgotten it?"
?”
Tang Cheng turned around, with a slightly tired smile on his face after not sleeping all night: "You must help others first and then help others. If you help others, others will help you in the future. Besides, they are also soldiers of the Yunnan Army. We
Our mission is to escort the wounded soldiers of the Yunnan Army back home. Since they are also wounded soldiers of the Yunnan Army, then we have a reason to take action." Tangcheng did not shy away from the filth and personally cleaned the wounds of the wounded soldiers with salt water and sprinkled some Mu
Lianshan made his own medicinal powder and carefully wrapped it with clean linen cloth. "In everything, just have a benevolent heart. As for other things, there is no need to worry about it."
For a long time, the impression left by Tangcheng on Mu Lianshan was that of a decisive and fierce temper, a brilliant mind, generous and generous when distributing money, and his temper would become very violent when he was humiliated. But all along, Mu Lianshan
Mu Lianshan never thought that Tangcheng actually has a womanly heart that is like a mother-in-law when it comes to benevolence - in the words of literati, it is the kindness of a woman. Mu Lianshan didn't know whether it was right to describe Tangcheng like this, but in his opinion
Thinking about it, being able to save some sick and injured deserters should be considered a good thing. Mu Lianshan was also rescued by Tangcheng. Of course he wouldn't think that saving people was a bad thing, but why bother involving himself?
Mu Lianshan scratched his head irritably and carefully checked the injuries of the wounded soldiers according to Tang Cheng's instructions, but he always felt that something was wrong in his heart. He had not guessed whether there was another layer to Tang Cheng's behavior.
The intention was there, but Mulianshan thought about it, but couldn't figure it out. Of course, Mulianshan didn't understand Tangcheng's intention. The destination of their trip was Kunming, the hometown of these Yunnan soldiers, so they made good friends with these people.
The people of the Yunnan Army came to Tangcheng to live a good life in Kunming in the future. If they, outsiders, did not have the help of local people, they would be in a lot of trouble.
After changing the bandage of another wounded soldier, Mu Lianshan slowly straightened up and hit his waist with his backhand. As the night passed, he bent over and changed the bandage of the wounded soldier countless times, and then walked around the camp, his waist and legs
He almost didn't feel anything anymore. He washed his hands with clean water in the basin, and washed away the pus and blood on his palms when he changed the bandage for the wounded soldier. A civilian came over, took the dirty water out, poured it out, and replaced it with another basin.
The clean water came over. Not only was the clean water used constantly replaced, but even the originally dirty and dirty floors were cleaned by these civilians.
"The bandages used in this way must be boiled in boiling water before they can be used again." Mulianshan picked up the linen tape that was thrown on the ground and was stained with pus and blood and handed it to another civilian. Then he loudly reminded everyone in the barracks, "
Every piece of bedding, clothing, and bandages must be boiled in boiling water and dried in the sun before they can be used again. This is to keep them on the clothes to prevent epidemic diseases, and also in the yard every day.
Clean it up, otherwise there will be an epidemic."
With the arrival of more than 200 people from Tang Cheng, the originally messy courtyard gradually regained some vitality. In just one night, Tang Cheng had already established a solid prestige in this courtyard. Most of the wounded soldiers were worried about the sudden escape.
Tang Cheng and others who came to take care of them were still a little confused, but they were indeed grateful from the bottom of their hearts to get the treatment they had been waiting for. At the same time, what Mu Lianshan said was echoed by everyone, and everyone shouted
'Mr. Mu', everyone nodded yes.
The civilians who followed along the way were all forced to stay by Tang Cheng. The banditry they encountered along the way made these civilians realize that the road ahead was not peaceful. Without Tang Cheng's escort, civilians like them would never have arrived safely.
Kunming and Tangcheng didn't want to leave, so these civilians didn't dare to leave alone. Although it was a little bit rough to take care of the wounded here, it was better than the pain of encountering bandits on the road and eating their flesh. Now it is said that rescuing people always counts.
Something about accumulating blessings.
In just one night, the garbage that had accumulated in the yard for many years was transported out and burned, and all the filth that needed to be cleaned was cleaned up. Hou San even took people to Gujiao Town to get back a lot of wooden boards to prepare for
These wounded soldiers built wooden beds for sleeping. Tang Cheng didn't care where Hou San got these wooden boards. What he was concerned about now was where he could get enough gauze and medicine. Mulianshan
I have complained about this several times.
Outside the town, there are more than 200 newcomers in the courtyard where the deserters live. The whole Gujiao Town has been in an uproar since yesterday evening. Besides, the town is also close to the courtyard. Early in the morning, there were people in Gujiao.
The people of Jiao Town were wandering around outside the courtyard, and some people were standing on tiptoes, leaning on the wall and looking into the yard. "What's going on?" The people who were leaning on the wall and looking into the yard were stunned. In just one night, this
How did the originally dilapidated courtyard change?
In the huge yard, the filthy garbage everywhere disappeared, revealing the loess ground that had been sprinkled with lime. The rotten smell that originally filled the yard was also much lighter, and the screams that should have been heard could no longer be heard, and there were even cheers and laughter.
"Is this still the same courtyard?" The local people who came to look around were stunned. They couldn't believe their eyes and ears, and even thought they had gone to the wrong place.
"Who is it?" The local people who were holding on to the wall were still stunned. Suddenly they heard someone shouting and running towards them in the yard, so they hurriedly jumped off the wall and ran back to the town. As these people returned, the news
The news spread quickly in Gujiao Town, and in just one breakfast time, everyone in Gujiao Town knew that the dilapidated courtyard outside the town had completely changed.
More and more people had nothing to do and ran around outside the courtyard. Some people even peeked through the cracks in the door, but unfortunately they saw nothing. However, the people milling around outside the courtyard did hear the noise coming from inside the courtyard.
During this time, they could smell the aroma of broth and the smell of rice. So these people began to wonder whose family lost the chickens and ducks. If not, where did the smell of meat coming from the yard come from.
