At the entrance of the alley, Yaomei was waiting anxiously, and beside her, the pair of young people were there. Among them, Du Peng was carrying the old man Du Gang on his back.
Looking anxiously, Yaomei almost jumped up when she saw Zheng Xiao running down the desert slope, and then rushed forward to meet him.
As soon as Zheng Xiao came closer, Yaomei grabbed him. At the same time, she asked eagerly, "Brother Zheng, are you okay?"
Zheng Xiao looked behind him and saw that no Japs were chasing him, so he breathed out, "I'm fine, the Japs have been thrown away."
Yaomei nodded, her face filled with joy, "Yes, how can these little devils be your opponents?"
Zheng Xiao's face turned solemn, he shook his head and said, "You can't say that, this time the Japanese army has a lot of people coming, we must find the village chief and them, tell them to meet up with the ancestral hall, and then find a way to break out."
."
"Breakout, don't you want this village?" When Zheng Xiao said "breakout", the old man Du Gang's eyes widened at that time, and his beard almost flew up, "No, absolutely not, this is our ancestor Wu Hou
Whatever is left behind cannot be thrown to the Japanese at all."
Just as Yaomei was about to persuade him, Zheng Xiao hurriedly made a gesture to her, saying that she should not argue with him now until she was out of danger.
When Yaomei saw Zheng Xiao's eyes, she immediately understood. She immediately changed the subject and asked, "Then what should we do next?"
"Go to the village chief and tell him the situation."
Yaomei stood up and ran out of the alley. The others hurriedly followed behind and also left the alley.
At this time, gunshots were everywhere in the mountain village, occasionally mixed with the screams of people, but the fog was thick and visibility was very low, so it was impossible to see what was going on there.
Several times, Yaomei wanted to go to the place where the screams were heard to see who was killed, but after thinking about it, she felt that business was more important now, so she did not go, but took Zheng Xiao and the others in the alley.
Going around and around, heading towards where his father is.
Along the way, with Zhuge Yaomei leading the way, the journey was obviously much smoother. Although we encountered a few Japanese, they were all killed by Zheng Xiao, who had weak hands, and did not let them send a signal.
Du Peng and Du Zhong, who were following behind, became more and more frightened as they watched. They had never seen anyone kill so neatly before. Zheng Xiao's crisp and neat movements made them admire him from the bottom of their hearts, "This is the real master."
"
The two brothers looked at each other, and they could see each other's desire to become Zheng Xiao's disciple.
At this time, Du Gang's face became even paler. Although he tried his best to endure the pain, he still occasionally let out a low groan, probably because the pain was too severe.
Zheng Xiao stopped and turned back to look at the old man Du Gang, "We can't go on like this. I'm afraid Uncle Du won't be able to join the village chief and the others."
Du Peng and Du Zhong were very anxious when they heard that this was their biological father, so they were more anxious than anyone else.
Zheng Xiao thought for a moment, then looked around and found a courtyard on the hillside not far away on the left. He took Du Gang from the hands of the two brothers, turned to them and said, "You go find the village chief."
Report the news, I'll stay and take out the bullet with Uncle Du."
The two brothers discussed with Yaomei and felt that this was the only way to go at the moment, so they gave Zheng Xiao and the others a few words before rushing into the thick fog.
Zheng Xiao carried Du Gang up the hillside and then entered the small courtyard.
This is a mountain temple, which can often be seen in the mountains in the past. I didn’t expect that there is also one in this ancient village.
The mountain temple is very clean. There are three main halls in which the statue of the mountain god is enshrined. Below is a tall offering table covered with yellow cloth and some offerings are placed.
After carrying the old man into the main hall, Zheng Xiao returned to the outside of the temple door, locked the temple door with an iron chain, and then climbed over the wall and returned to the temple.
Although I know that this arrangement cannot stop the Japs, it can at least slow down the Japs' discovery and buy some time to treat Du Gang.
The old man Du Gang was sitting on a pile of hay, lying on his side. The injured leg was bloody and bloody. The blood was still flowing down the thigh, dyeing most of the leg red.
Zheng Xiao knelt down, used a dagger to open the old man's trouser legs, and then wiped the blood stains with cotton gauze to reveal the wound.
A bullet hole was exposed in front of him, and blood was still flowing out. Looking through the wound, you could see the bullet stuck inside.
Zheng Xiao took out a pair of tweezers from his bag and said to Du Gang, "Old man, due to special circumstances, we cannot give you anesthetic. Please be patient."
"Boy, please do it quickly." Du Gang reached out and grabbed a branch on the side, bit it horizontally in his mouth, and then motioned to Zheng Xiao.
Zheng Xiao used a dagger to open the wound, then put the tweezers in and moved closer to the bullet head.
Ah oh——, Du Gang let out a low groan, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, dripping down the bridge of his nose. At the same time, his hands tightly grasped the legs of the altar table beside him, and his fingers were about to dig into the wood.
Got hit.
Zheng Xiao's face remained as usual, as if he had turned into an emotionless machine. The tweezers in his hands were as accurate as scalpels, clamping the bullet head with the smallest movement.
"Come out!" As Zheng Xiao shouted, the tweezers in his hand suddenly retracted outwards, and a bloody bullet was pulled out from the wound, and then fell to the ground with a ding sound.
Du Gang let out a beast-like roar from his throat, then relaxed, breathing heavily, as if he had experienced a fierce struggle.
Zheng Xiao put away the tweezers, then took out the anti-inflammatory medicine from his backpack and sprinkled it on the wound. They all carried the best special gunshot wound medicine, which was anti-inflammatory, hemostatic and pain-relieving in one, and the effect was particularly good.
Opening his mouth, the branch that had been deformed by his bite fell silently to the ground. Du Gang watched Zheng Xiao skillfully bandaging his wounds and chuckled, "Damn it, the little devil's bullets are nothing more than that.
You can't do anything to me."
Zheng Xiao didn't expect that this old man had such hard bones that he could talk and laugh just after taking out the bullets. He couldn't help but admire him and said with a smile, "The bullets of the little devil are made of lead, and the bones of us Chinese are made of steel. How can they shoot?"
You have to move."
"Haha, you're right, you have such an appetite for my old man." Du Gang laughed and patted Zheng Xiao's shoulder, but it seemed to have touched the wound, and the pain made him grin.
Zheng Xiao cleaned up the blood and bullets on the ground, then stood up and looked outside. Seeing that the yard was quiet for the time being, he sat down again, took out the compressed dry food from his backpack, handed a piece to Du Gang, and then gave it to Du Gang.
He threw the kettle to him and said, "Uncle Du, eat some to replenish your strength."
