"Brother, little brother, wake up." Hearing this voice in a daze, Tang Cheng didn't realize that it was calling him. Then his left shoulder was gently pushed again, and he suddenly said
Ji Ling opened her eyes. Before her eyes were fully opened, the m1911 pistol in her hand was already raised. She was so frightened by the black-faced man pointed at by Tang Cheng that she squatted down and sat on the ground with a cry of "Ouch". The black-faced man
The screams made everyone who had woken up look over here. Everyone was frightened by the gun in Tang Cheng's hand, and their eyes were a little evasive when looking at Tang Cheng.
Seeing that Tang Cheng finally woke up, the black-faced man who was pointed at by the pistol let out a sigh of relief. He was frightened like this once a day and half of his life was gone. Looking around, he found nothing unusual and Tang Cheng put down his arms.
He nodded at the black-faced man with the gun in hand, then turned over and climbed up, holding the pistol and following the black-faced man out. Looking at the whitened sky and the silent wilderness, everything in his sight was so peaceful. First
Several adult men had already gathered beside the donkey cart. By the time Tang Cheng and the black-faced man arrived, all the young men in this wave of refugees would have been gathered together.
The man who spoke first was not tall, with small eyes and protruding cheeks. Although he was not as fierce as Liu Yangyang, he still gave people an impression that he was not easy to mess with. He said in a low voice, "According to our current speed, let's rush
It will take at least several days to get to Nanjing. Some of the wounded are not in good condition and they need to be sent to Wuhan to see a doctor as soon as possible." The wounded he was referring to were injured refugees carried on donkey carts, and their wounds could not be treated.
Proper wound treatment and simple bandaging can only deal with minor injuries. If the injury is serious, it really needs to be sent to a hospital with certain treatment conditions as soon as possible.
Everyone subconsciously glanced at the two donkey carts. Although walking in the wilderness is difficult, donkeys have better endurance than people. "My idea is that we should just take the main road. I haven't seen the little one in these three days."
When Japanese planes come back, the speed of taking the main road will be faster, what do you think?" Probably because he didn't want others to hear, the man deliberately suppressed his voice, glanced around everyone's faces with his eyes, and finally focused on
Tang Cheng. Everyone else also looked at Tang Cheng subconsciously, because it was Tang's suggestion to go out in the wild to avoid the Japanese planes.
Tang Cheng, who was being watched by everyone, just frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. Since he only met these people by chance, he didn't have to mess with them. He only wanted to protect the old couple and the little girl.
That's fine. "Then if everyone has no objections, let's pack our things now and head north to Nanjing on the main road later." Seeing that Tang Cheng didn't respond, the man said in a tone of asking for advice, but who could say it at this moment?
Can have better opinions.
"I have other things to do. After sending you to the highway, I will leave with you separately." Tang Cheng, who had been silent until everyone turned around, spoke up. By the time everyone came to their senses, Tang Cheng had already turned around and left.
, the black-faced man who had been serving as the guide hurriedly chased Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng, who left quickly, packed his things and explained the matter in detail to the old man surnamed Wu. He was very knowledgeable.
The old man surnamed Wu thought about it for a while and expressed his desire to follow Tangcheng.
"Brother, I also want to go with you." The black-faced man who came with Tangcheng seemed to have an honest smile, but the innocent smile on his face could not hide the shrewdness in his eyes.
Those who want to do big things, if you walk a dozen miles along this path, you will see the village. Then we will hire a carriage and ask the old man and the old lady to ride in the carriage. With the carriage, we should be able to outdo them.
Those people arrived in Nanjing early."
Tang Cheng nodded slightly, agreeing to the black-faced man's request. Tang Cheng had a gun in his hand, and he had killed people before. Naturally, he would not be afraid of the black-faced man's tricks. Besides, there was someone who was familiar with the surrounding terrain.
Even if they encounter Japanese soldiers, there will still be someone to protect the old couple and they leave. "Let them get up, I will only leave after I promise to send these people to the road."
Tang Cheng's eyes turned from the old man to the sleeping grandfather and grandson. They cuddled tightly together and slept soundly and deeply.
The sound of the moving donkey cart woke up the refugees who were still sleeping. When the sound of hoofbeats and rolling wheels gradually faded away, the wilderness became quiet again. If it weren't for the bonfires still emitting smoke, it would be difficult to
Some people would believe that dozens of people slept here in the open last night. For Tangcheng, four or five hours of rest is quite enough, but these old and weak women and children have never experienced such hardship. They all looked exhausted and yawned all day long.
But no one stayed away or made other extraordinary moves. With the help of adult men, they each took their luggage, took care of their families, and reorganized into a long column.
The little girl who was awakened smiled as brightly as a flower when she saw Tang Cheng walking beside her. The field in the early morning was extremely cold, and the white air exhaled from everyone's mouth was so clear that it could show the temperature.
Very low. Opening the military blanket folded neatly by the old woman, Tang Cheng wrapped the fruit sitting on the donkey cart like an old monk meditating in the temple. His little face was exposed outside the military blanket. Who saw it?
They will all laugh non-stop.
The long team kept moving forward at a steady speed. It was better when we first started. When we could see the road in the distance, people in the team finally started to stop and rest. First there were old people with gray hair and beards, and then women with children.
The head of the team fell to the end of the team, and most people tried their best to keep up with the team. However, as time went by, more and more people fell behind. The situation was exactly the same as the previous day.
"You guys wait here for me first. I'll take them to the main road and then come back." Tang Cheng reached out and took the little girl off the donkey cart, followed by several people's luggage. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, Tang Cheng thought
The black-faced man who stayed behind also asked him to leave. The old man surnamed Wu did not know what was in his small suitcase. If the black-faced man became malicious after he left, the old couple and the little girl would be in danger.
, Fortunately, the main road is only two miles away from here, so it only takes a few minutes to run faster.
There were people on the avenue. They turned a blind eye to the Tangcheng who came from the wilderness. They were all refugees, so there was no difference. "Little brother, you really don't want to go with us?" The boy who suggested returning to the avenue
The handsome man was making his final attempt to persuade him to stay. Although Tang Cheng looked a little younger, he had a gun in his hand and looked like a capable man. It should be safer to go on the road with such a person, not to mention that along the way,
Tangcheng helped them a lot.
"I still have things to do, so let's separate here." Tang Cheng reached out and found two military kettles from one of the donkey carts, put one across his body, and handed the other to someone who insisted on following him.
A black-faced man walking on a small road. "You can encounter villages at any time when you walk on the main road. It should be very convenient to replenish food and drinking water. These two kettles will belong to me, even if I have paid you for guarding you for these three days." Tang Cheng said.
He turned around and left. With the two pistols he had on him, even these refugees didn't dare to stop him.
"Come. Uncle will carry you away." After joining the old couple, Tang Cheng moved the kettle behind him, bent down and picked up the little girl. It was already daylight, and following the guidance of the black-faced man, Tang Cheng
The group of people walked slowly along the fork of a small river. The old couple who had been worried about Tang Cheng seemed to be in good physical strength. The old man surnamed Wu even had the time and energy to point out the surrounding scenery to the old woman beside him.
As if she was afraid that Tang Cheng would be tired, the little girl in Tang Cheng's arms had always been very well-behaved, with her soft little hands tightly hugging Tang Cheng's neck, but from time to time she would do something to the old couple walking behind Tang Cheng.
Grimacing. The black-faced man walking ahead seemed to have endless strength. He carried the old man's small suitcase and the baggage in the old woman's hand in his own hands, but he and Tang Cheng's baggage were hung around his neck, far away.
From a distance, the black-faced man looked like a pile of luggage that could move on its own.
What Tang Cheng had been worried about all along the way happened. The sound of gunfire in the distance came very suddenly. Tang Cheng's first reaction was to hold the little girl in his arms and rush towards the bushes beside the fork of the river. "
Run, hurry up and go into the woods." The little girl had obviously experienced a similar scene before. She buried her head tightly in Tang Cheng's arms, sobbing softly, her body was still shaking slightly, and she was already faceless.
The old couple with expressions on their faces also followed closely behind the black-faced man and sped up towards the woods heading towards Tangcheng.
"Hide here and don't go anywhere, wait for me to come back." No longer caring about that, Tang Cheng handed the dagger to the black-faced man, took out the shell gun from his waist and ran towards the direction of the sound of gunfire outside the forest.
Go. 40 rounds of shell gun bullets and 14 rounds of m1911 bullets. This is all the ammunition Tang Cheng has. If it is a skirmishing fight, Tang Cheng will find a way to avoid the danger, but if it is a brigade of Japanese troops infiltrating, then Tang Cheng can only
Use these bullets to buy the four people in the woods time to leave.
"Child, you have to be careful." The voice from behind made Tang Cheng pause for a moment. He turned around and saw that the old woman protected by the black-faced man was waving to him. There was no concern on her face.
A trace of hypocrisy. Taking a deep breath, Tang Cheng, with a sour nose, rushed out of the forest with a shell gun and ran towards a slope in the distance. After experiencing the separation from Robert, Tang Cheng has always suppressed the desire for family affection in his heart.
Deep in his heart, the old woman's concern just now made him almost unable to move forward. Tang Cheng never thought that he would be so eager for family affection.
