The feeling of the sun slanting on people's bodies was wonderful. Although Tang Cheng, who was wrapped in a military blanket, had already woken up and his stomach was already growling, he still stayed in bed and didn't want to get up. He settled in this new home last night.
On the first night, Tang Cheng, who ate meat, took a shower and changed into clean underwear, slept so well that when he opened his eyes and felt the warmth of the sun, he actually thought he was still sleeping in the Shanghai church.
in the room.
When Tang Cheng woke up, the whole courtyard was very quiet, as if everyone was still asleep, but Tang Cheng knew that was not the case. Everyone should have woken up early like him, but no one wanted to break the tranquility and warmth now.
It was just a feeling. Tang Cheng resisted the hunger in his belly and refused to get up. However, not everyone was staying in bed like him. Tang Cheng, who was sleeping on the second floor, heard that at least three people had sneaked into the kitchen to look for him.
It’s time to eat.
Smelling the aroma coming from the stove, Tang Cheng knew that Fatty Ma was the designated one among the three people, because other people couldn't cook with this smell. No, he still didn't want to get up, and Tang Cheng, who was already hungry, once again
Wrapping the military blanket tightly around him, he forced himself to close his eyes and continue to sleep. Until Fatty Ma, the most stubborn person, brought a bowl of hot broth noodles to Tang Cheng's room, and Tang Cheng, who had been holding back, finally collapsed.
Due to his persistence, he quickly finished the noodles in the bowl in just a few mouthfuls, threw the empty bowl to Fatty Ma and shouted that he was satisfied, and then burped and shouted for another bowl.
He couldn't stay up all the time. Tang Cheng, who had eaten two bowls of broth noodles, stayed up until lunch time, when Liu Shitou reluctantly pulled him up from the bed. Then he reluctantly got up, washed his face, brushed his teeth and went downstairs.
I am very reluctant to meet you all. It was Mu Lianshan’s idea to let Liu Shitou pull down Tangcheng. There are more than 40 people living in this shabby yard, and there are still many things that need to be solved. All of this requires Tangcheng.
Come and make a decision.
"We have arrived in Kunming now. What should we do with those carts and mules and horses we brought along the way? We can't kill all those mules and horses for meat. They are big animals bought with money. They are just used
It's a pity to eat meat." Fatty Ma's words made everyone's attention fall on Tangcheng. Although they were asked to drive away some large vehicles when they entered Kunming to evacuate the wounded soldiers, Tangcheng and the others rushed to Banqiao.
There are more than a dozen large carts, and they also have five horses in Tangcheng. Just taking care of these mules and horses every day is a strenuous task.
"Sell it, we have already arrived at the place, why are you still keeping so many carts? Only three carts and 5 horses are enough. Find a place to buy the rest. I'll leave that to you.
Leave it to Wu Laosan and Shitou." Tang Cheng pondered for a moment and then answered, "When I came here yesterday, I saw that there were a lot of grassy slopes around here. The fodder for horses has been solved. This in Yunnan
The place is like spring all year round, so we don’t need to stock up on winter grass. We just need to take them out for a few laps every day, which will be enough for them to eat.”
"Then what should we do with our guns and bullets? I guess we won't have many chances to fight in the future. There's no need to keep machine guns and grenade launchers. Why don't we buy them together? There are big guys in the black market.
Those rifles and short guns we have are not worth much." Hou San looked at Tang Cheng hopefully, waiting for Tang Cheng to nod and agree to the matter.
"We can shoot grenades and grenades, but not machine guns, and neither can those Mauser rifles. Although we plan to rest completely, who knows if the Japanese will come to Kunming. Let me tell you,
We still have to keep some weapons and ammunition that should be kept. Even if we are still wearing this military uniform, we can't have any weapons left in our hands and let others see what we look like." Tangcheng and the others are now close to 50 people, but they brought
There are close to 80 rifles and thousands of rounds of ammunition. Tangcheng does not want to leave a rifle for everyone, but a dozen rifles should be left.
"Then let's keep some rifles and bullets according to the number of one squad, and sell the rest, including those Japanese grenades. There is no benefit in keeping such things, so we should get rid of them as soon as possible." Seeing everyone
No objection, Tangcheng has settled the matter. As for the short gun mentioned by Hou San, Tangcheng does not allow it to be sold on the black market. After seeing the power of the shell gun in concentrated fire assault, Tangcheng will
He deliberately accumulated shell guns, but now he only has about a dozen of them with good performance, and he is reluctant to sell them all.
"Wu Laosan and Shitou will go to the city first to find out what's going on in the black market. Lao Mu, take Hou Sanhe's glasses and go to the city to purchase the things we urgently need. By the way, you can bring back some more seasonings for Fatty Ma. I'm still waiting to eat him.
The stew is made. The rest of the people are still cleaning the yard. This may be our home in the future, but it needs to be cleaned up." Tang Cheng looked like a hands-off shopkeeper and arranged what everyone should do today.
He asked the two Yunnan soldiers to carry his deck chair to the yard and continued to doze off.
This yard is neither big nor small. It cannot be cleaned up in just one day. It is impossible for Wu Laosan and Liu Shitou to figure out the conditions of Kunming's black market in just one day. For three days in a row, very few people came in and out.
This courtyard is very lively. From time to time, large vehicles leave the courtyard, and from time to time, large vehicles loaded with daily necessities return to the courtyard. Tangcheng really doesn’t care about anything, except sleeping and dozing every day.
He just kept clamoring for Fatty Ma to cook delicious food for him. In just a few days, Tang Cheng's originally pale complexion became rosy.
"Oh, no, I have lice on my body." Tang Cheng, who was feeling dizzy from the sun, suddenly stretched out his hand and started scratching his back. After scratching for a while, he couldn't get enough, and even took off his military uniform shirt.
He looked carefully under the sun until he found traces of lice in the seams of his clothes. He had been nestled in the recliner, and then he screamed and jumped up in surprise as if an arrow had been shot in the butt.
Having lice on the body is very common for wounded soldiers. In fact, it can be found on soldiers who have stayed in position for more than a few days, especially for people like Tangcheng and others who have just traveled more than 2,000 miles.
It was ordinary. Tang Cheng, who did not believe in evil, peeled off the clothes of several wounded soldiers for inspection, and found traces of lice in all of them. Tang Cheng did not give up, and after careful inspection, he finally found lice in the hair of these wounded soldiers.
There are lice.
The wounded soldiers who were also sitting in the yard basking in the sun were helpless when Tang Cheng fiddled with their hair like a monkey. They just had lice. What's so strange about this? Who among the soldiers didn't have this thing on their body? "You know.
Shit, this thing will not only suck your blood, it will also infect you with diseases. If it doesn't catch you with any infectious disease, no one in our yard will be able to get through it." Shirtless
Tang Cheng fiercely threw his military uniform to the ground, waving his hands and shouting in the yard, "Get a haircut, take a shower, disinfect, change clothes, or else sleep in the wilderness outside."
The barber who had already been kidnapped by the bandits followed Liu Shitou into the yard cautiously, but was shocked. Well, the yard was filled with dozens of soldiers in military uniforms. "Pa" 6 yuan
Dayang was photographed by Liu Shitou in front of the two barbers, "Everyone in this yard will have their heads shaved, and then keep your haircuts. These Dayangs will be yours." The two barbers were still timid at first.
The master almost robbed him of 6 yuan and then hurriedly shaved their heads in Tangcheng. The 3 yuan left in the city was enough for them to earn for a month.
"No, you have to shave your head. No one in this yard can escape, otherwise the lice will not be removed." Lin Ying, who was about to cry in a hurry, was also dragged by Tang Cheng and stared at her head being shaved. Although it was a girl's family
It was really indecent for everyone to shave their heads, but in order to eradicate lice, Mu Lianshan had to pretend not to hear Lin Ying's call for help. The bald heads looked at each other and laughed. It was a bit awkward to see dozens of bald heads in the whole yard.
It was so spectacular that even Lin Ying couldn't help laughing when she touched her bald head.
After shaving, it was time to take a bath. The wooden barrel used to bathe Liu Shitou and the others had already contained Mulianshan's homemade insecticide. Everyone in the yard, including Tang Cheng and Mulianshan, had to mess around.
Soak it in the hot water containing the concoction for more than 2 minutes. Mulianshan’s homemade insecticidal concoction not only kills the insects, but also stings Tang Cheng, especially the wounds on his body.
It was amazing. But in order to get rid of the lice on his body, Tang Cheng had to endure the pain and take a long soak. This was the first time that Tang Cheng had lice on his body since he could remember.
The clothes that everyone changed, whether they were dirty, torn or clean, were all burned cleanly by Tang Cheng. If Mu Lianshan hadn't stopped them, Tang Cheng would have planned to burn all the old clothes in the yard.
They were willing to burn all the pieces of cloth. Seeing Tang Cheng going crazy in the yard, Hou San and others gathered together to watch from a distance. They had no complaints about Tang Cheng forcing them to shave their heads and take a bath. They just wanted to
Bu Tong Tang Cheng was holding a torch and burning things in the yard like a fool.
"There is an old saying in our hometown, if you play with fire a lot during the day, you will definitely pee on the bed at night." Looking at Tang Cheng who was having fun playing with fire, Dice suddenly whispered something, which made Hou San and others unable to help themselves.
After bursting out laughing, seeing Tang Cheng turn around and look this way, the few people squatting together hurriedly dispersed.
No one remembered to check whether Tang Cheng had wet the bed last night the next day. They had shaved their heads and soaked in a hot bath. They all slept soundly last night, including Tang Cheng and Hou San who were always used to getting up early. They all slept in. They kept waiting.
At three o'clock in the morning, there was movement in the yard. If it weren't for everyone being hungry, they would rather lie on clean bedding and continue sleeping until dark.
