"We are already on the main road. Let's stop here. It is very safe here and there will be no Japanese infiltration troops." The cart stopped under the shade of a tree and looked at the people sitting and resting under the shade. Tang
The city waved goodbye to Xie Sanwa and the others. This was already a highway, and there were people rushing under the shade of the trees. Tangcheng wanted to say goodbye to Xie Sanwa and the others, but he was not afraid that the two defeated soldiers would give him a hard time, not to mention that there were still people on his side.
There is a strong Jiujin, and even passers-by sitting in the shade of a tree will not look at these two guys being domineering.
"Little brother, what are you doing? Didn't we get along very well along the way? Besides, we are also going to Nanjing, wouldn't it be better to be together along the way?"
He was already rolling up his sleeves, looking like he was about to explode. Tang Cheng took a step back slightly and stood side by side with Jiu Jin beside him. Jiu Jin could not understand the hidden meaning in Xie Sanwa's words.
, but seeing Niu Mandun looking like he wanted to eat people, Jiu Jin naturally didn’t have a good heart for them.
Still holding his hands with a smile on his face, Tang Cheng said with a smile, "You two, we are not the same as you two. We walked with you in the beginning because the old man is kind-hearted and is afraid that you will get lost, so he is willing to take you with him.
Let's go. Now that we've reached the main road, it's better for us to walk separately. Landscapes and rivers bring us together, and we are destined to meet again." After saying this, Tang Cheng took the small bundle in the old woman's hand and hid it in front of him, with his right hand already reaching out.
Into the open lapel.
Xie Sanwa originally wanted to go forward and have a few words with Tang Cheng, but when she saw that one of Tang Cheng's hands had already reached into the lapel of her clothes, Xie Sanwa, feeling calm in her heart, waved her hand and pulled Niu Mantun back.
A few steps. This kid has a shell gun hidden in his lapel. If he fires at such a close distance, even a fool can kill the two of him. Since the other party is unwilling to go with him, there is no point in forcing him to go, so he might as well be polite.
Saying good-bye angrily can also leave a chance for future encounters.
"Let's go." Seeing Xie Sanwa retreating with a wink, Tang Cheng turned around and called Jiu Jin to drive the car on the road. The car was so far away that it couldn't see the shade of the trees, so Tang Cheng asked Jiu Jin to slow down. "
Those two people are **'s defeated soldiers. If we encounter **'s checkpoints along the way to search for defeated soldiers, if we hang out with such people, we might get into trouble." Tang Cheng's explanation made the originally stern-faced person.
The old man surnamed Wu looked better, and the old woman's worried eyes softened.
Encountering a checkpoint on the road was just an excuse for Tang Cheng. He and Xie Sanwa were separated just because Tang Cheng was considering the gold bars on his body. In order to survive, the two defeated soldiers not only left their troops, but also threw away everything related to the troops.
Something. She had a pistol on her, and more than one pistol. Xie Sanwa was trying to trick her by telling her on the way. If the two of them knew that she was carrying gold bars, it would be hard for these two to see it.
The seemingly harmless guy will immediately turn into a bandit seeking wealth and death.
Tang Cheng, who has followed Robert around since he was a child, has often seen such things. Every time he sees victims crying because of losing money, Robert has to teach Tang Cheng not to trust others easily, especially strangers he meets on the road.
Xie Sanwa and the others were defeated troops, but defeated troops were also soldiers. If there was a conflict with their own side, the seemingly strong Jiu Jin might not be able to be used. It would be okay to lose money and pistols, but Tang
Cheng was afraid that the two of them would end up plotting to kill someone, so Tang Cheng said goodbye to Xie Sanwa and went ahead when he met passers-by.
This carriage was bought directly from Tangcheng. It was pulled by an old gray horse. The owner said that even though the old horse was old, it could pull something of 500 kilograms on the road. Nine kilograms were sitting on the road.
On the carriage shaft, the old man surnamed Wu and his family of three were nestled in the cart. Tang Cheng, who was following the cart, was riding a donkey. The donkey was bought and half robbed by Tang Cheng from the owner of the cart. Tang Cheng, who had been traveling around since childhood,
He was far more familiar with things on the road than the old man surnamed Wu. When encountering broken troops blocking the road, riding on the back of a donkey was far safer than sitting in a carriage.
There were many people of all kinds on the avenue, but there was no wave of refugees like what Tang Cheng had seen in Qiandeng Town. Tang Cheng, who had been worried, finally felt relieved. It seemed that there were no refugees in Shanghai.
They began to retreat as a whole. "After walking for a while, let's stop and rest, give the horses some water, and let's rest for a while and eat something before we leave." Thinking of Shanghai, Tang Cheng felt a twinge in his heart, and he remembered again
Robert, I don’t know what’s going on with the church now, whether it will be like the dilapidated building where Liu Yangyang and others lived in Shanghai, which was bombarded by Japanese artillery.
From a distance, he saw a few passers-by squatting on the roadside to rest. Jiujin slowly grabbed the cart and slowed it down. Tang Cheng, who was full of worries, got off the donkey and followed the cart slowly forward. He stopped at the roadside to rest.
There were seven or eight passers-by. Tang Cheng glanced around and saw that they were just ordinary people, so he stopped paying attention to those people. "Drink some water, eat something, and rest for a while before we continue on our way." Tang Cheng took out some water.
After taking a sip, he handed the kettle to Jiu Jin who was feeding the horse bean cakes.
After walking along this way, Tang Cheng realized that Jiujin was a quiet man, and he and Erlian's nianzi were almost brothers. He suddenly thought of Erlian for no reason, and Tang Cheng couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness in his heart. If he hadn't left secretly that day
Hospital, maybe he should sleep in the carriage with Nianzi now. He didn’t know what happened to Captain Xie’s injury. Tang Cheng remembered that when he left, Xie Bo hadn’t come out of the operating room yet.
I wonder if Liu Yangyang would scold himself behind his back for being a deserter.
Sitting against the wheel of the cart, Tang Cheng hid himself in the shade and chewed dry biscuits with his eyes closed. He gave water to the horse pulling the cart. Jiu Jin also sat down next to Tang Cheng, but Tang Cheng closed his eyes.
I could feel Jiujin's anger. This guy would tremble all over when he was angry. "Those are not good people." Jiujin's vicious words made Tang Cheng open his eyes and look at Jiujin's angry eyes.
, Jiu Jin determined that those who were not good people were the passers-by taking a break on the roadside.
"Those are not good people." Jiujin repeated what he just said to Tang Cheng, and took out the bayonet given to him by Tang Cheng from his waist. As soon as he said this, Jiujin was already standing with the bayonet in his hand.
When Jiu Jin repeated that sentence, Tang Cheng, who turned around, already noticed that something was wrong with Jiu Jin's expression. Even when he was pointing a gun at him, Jiu Jin was not as angry as he is now. Subconsciously
He reached out and grabbed the angry Jiujin, but was dragged to the ground by Jiujin's brute force. Tang Cheng still didn't let go.
"Come with me, come here." Tang Cheng used all his strength to drag the furious Jiujin to the other side of the cart. After a lot of pulling and tugging, the wounds on Tang Cheng's body were not healed yet.
Blood began to ooze out again. Perhaps because he saw the blood oozing out of Tang Cheng's body, Jiu Jin, who had been glaring at the passers-by in the distance, finally calmed down a little, relaxed his tense body and followed Tang Cheng
Went to the other side of the cart.
"The clothes they wear are all from our village. The guy drinking water is wearing a shirt newly made by Brother Gouzi. I bought the fabric from the town with my help, and Aunt Yao from the village helped make it.
." Jiujin pointed to Tang Cheng one by one. Most of the passers-by resting in the distance were wearing the clothes of Jiujin's villagers, and even the holes that were originally torn on the clothes were still there. Jiujin gritted his teeth.
His teeth were clenched and he didn't dare to cry out. The masseter muscles on his cheeks were twitching. If the anger in his eyes could kill people, those guys would have turned into charcoal by now.
Tang Cheng and Jiu Jin's tugging and tugging had obviously attracted the attention of the passers-by, but looking at Tang Cheng's silk shorts and Jiu Jin's farmer's attire, the group thought it was the employer teaching his employees a lesson, so they just looked around.
After a few glances, he ignored them. "You stay here and keep an eye on them." After getting repeated confirmation from Jiu Jin, Tang Cheng took out the shell gun from his waist, turned on the safety, and adjusted the shell gun to continuous fire mode, and then told Jiu Jin.
Protect the cart. "If you don't obey me, don't follow us when we get on the road."
Putting the shell gun in the issued state back into his waist, Tang Cheng took out a pack of cigarettes and walked towards the passers-by with a smile on his face. Tang Cheng was no longer the ignorant student he was a few months ago. He couldn't just listen to Jiu Jin.
It was a one-sided statement, so he still needed to confirm it face to face. "Guys, let me ask you a question." Seeing Tang Cheng coming over, the passers-by who gathered together were obviously a little surprised, but looking at Tang Cheng's young age, he still had a smile on his face.
With smiles, the two passers-by stood up and sat back down again.
He took out the cigarettes from the cigarette box and passed them around. Tang Cheng still had a smile on his face and used matches to light cigarettes for passers-by. "I want to send the elderly at home to Nanjing. I wonder if any of you know me.
Show me a way, so that this chaotic war will save you from an unnecessary mistake." Tang Cheng smiled and lit cigarettes for the passers-by who took the cigarettes. While lighting the cigarettes, he secretly observed the reactions and expressions of these passers-by while talking.
Liu Yangyang said that soldiers not only had marks on their shoulders from the gun butts, but also hard scabs on their right hands and index fingers. Tang Cheng took the initiative to light cigarettes for them just to see what these guys were like.
Are there hard scabs on the index finger and the tiger's mouth? Tang Cheng's age has become a guarantee for those passers-by that they don't care if Tang is close to them. Who would have thought that this guy who looks like just a big kid has a pre-pressure stick on his lower back?
Bullets for the gun.
"I'm lucky to have met you guys today. Otherwise, I would have gone through a lot of unnecessary mistakes. Thank you very much for your guidance." Tang Cheng saluted the passers-by with a cup of fists in a Beijing accent.
His mature appearance made several passers-by laugh. Seeing that the passers-by were not guarding themselves, Tang Cheng pulled out the shell gun on his waist and said with a smile, "I have some gifts for you all."
