When boxes of penicillin were brought out, Xu Ruifeng seemed to have come to his senses.
Where did this thing come from? How could the warrior find it so quickly?
He walked into the room, stood next to Lao Ma and asked: "Old Ma, if you don't believe me, why did you leave me in the crow's nest?"
Lao Ma suddenly turned around and looked at Xu Ruifeng.
"I don't believe you?"
"I don't believe you. How dare I lead the soldiers to charge into the Lu family's shack without even a signal? I don't believe you. You stand on the house and scream, and I dare to run forward risking my life with bullets in my head?"
Xu Ruifeng also pinched his waist and said, "What do you mean, before you broke into the mansion, you didn't even know there were these things in the Lu family's shack?"
"I know." Lao Ma didn't deny it at all: "Not only do I know, I also saw it with my own eyes when I held my breath after the failure to attack the Lu family's shack a few days ago and was stared at every day. Is there a problem?"
"Is this okay?"
"If there's no problem, you tell me that the reason why the Lu family's shack was raided was that we couldn't let the traitors make military uniforms for the little devils. I also promised to make seasonal clothes for each of the brothers, but after the raid, I moved boxes one by one out?
"
"I see."
Xu Ruifeng said very disappointed: "It turns out that Lu Mingxun told me that the eldest son of the Xu family hid all his private money in the village. What he hid was penicillin. Together with his private money, it was not silver coins, not gold bars, but medicine!"
Under the moonlight, Lao Ma turned his head. The soldiers beside him looked a little guilty when they were carrying medicine. Then he said: "Old Xu..."
"You may not know much about the army."
He explained word for word: "The army is not about principles, let alone human relations, it is about orders."
"Sometimes, superior leaders will only tell you to 'fight until the last soldier,' but you have no idea that this battle requires you to intercept tens of thousands of troops alone to buy time for other troops to retreat; sometimes, there is only one way."
When the order comes down to "go to such and such high ground and win it at all costs," even if the mountain is full of machine guns and is full of fortresses, everyone knows that you, who weigh more than 100 kilograms, can't bear bullets, but at this time, let's let him
If you fight with your life, there is a reason to fight with your life."
Xu Ruifeng looked at him: "What's your point?"
"The army is not allowed to ask such questions, but it doesn't matter if I tell you today. I came to North Manchuria this time not only to recover from my injuries, but also to find medicine. The Japanese raids in South Manchuria are becoming increasingly serious, and the soldiers there are fighting every day.
While fighting injuries and illnesses, I, as a leader, cannot watch them die from lack of medical treatment and lack of medicine instead of being shot by the enemy. Lao Xu, do you understand?"
"I don't want to hear these truths. What I'm asking is why can't you just say it!"
Commander Ma sighed: "One Liu Dazhi ruined the entire underground organization in Fengtian; one Qu Guang made the embroiderers in Beiman fall short... How can I put it bluntly? They were all bumping head to toe in Laoyawo.
Brother who is rolling on the bed with his feet, who do you want me to doubt? Who do you feel sorry for?"
"Why don't I tell no one, and that's the end of it?"
Xu Ruifeng stretched out a finger and put it on Lao Ma's chest and said word by word: "Since I came to Lao Crow's Nest, I feel so comfortable from the inside out, but today, you made me uncomfortable."
After finishing, he turned around and left, following the soldiers outside the Lu family's shack.
Time no longer allowed Lao Ma to have an endless relationship with Xu Ruifeng in his personal relationship. He could only reach out and pick up a box of medicine, yelled: "Quick! Everyone, move fast!" and strode towards the mountainous area.
When the forty boxes of penicillin were moved out of the Lu family's shack, Xu Ruifeng saw the attention of the people on the street. This was something he had never seen before. The kind of attention that was full of gratitude but not easy to approach, turned out to be...
Time makes Xu Ruifeng feel a little kind.
Even the common people are wondering why these people captured the village and turned around and left. Don't they need to continue to be squeezed this time?
"Fourth brother, I work in a tailor shop. When I get back, I will use this piece of cloth to make clothes for you." The little soldier carrying the cloth seemed to finally remember what they were doing, and followed Sibaozi all the way.
The nagging behind my butt is endless.
Finally, an old man wearing a turban stood on the roadside and shouted: "Heroes, you guys saved us, you have to let us know who to thank, right?"
The older man seemed to understand the behavior of this group of people. They did not harass the people, nor did they exploit the village's water. After conquering the village and getting what they wanted, they turned around and left, as if they had never been there.
Xu Ruifeng stopped and watched as more and more people gathered around him. They followed the soldiers step by step from the village to the gate, chasing them all the way.
Like a slave who has just taken off his shackles, he is still a little at a loss.
"Lao Xu, tell me, why are you standing there in a daze?"
Commander Ma said this when he passed by Xu Ruifeng regardless of previous suspicions.
When no one opened their mouths, Xu Ruifeng replied alone: "Anti-Union."
Commander Ma suddenly shouted: "Louder!"
At that time, a surge of courage surged from his heart. Now he was no longer a shameful killer, let alone a traitor in Beiman City. Why didn't he dare to speak?
"Anti-Union!"
The moment he shouted it out, the long-suppressed gloom in his heart was broken, and the ghost that had bound Xu Ruifeng for so many years quickly dissipated. Old Xu couldn't tell whether it was an illusion or reality, but he really felt it.
He saw that the people who died in his hands were no longer covered in blood, and there were no wounds on those people's bodies. They all showed smiles as if they were seeing each other for the first time, and turned around silently.
This gang...
This group...
Have these people who died at their own hands because of their greed for money forgive themselves?
Or have they finally seen themselves taking the right path and giving up revenge?
Xu Ruifeng thought about his insomnia again. It seemed that since he entered the crow's nest, he couldn't sleep every night. Sometimes he would be too sleepy to close his eyes when it got dark.
From that moment on, Xu Ruifeng's climbing steps became more powerful and his forward speed became faster. They disappeared into the mountains and forests under the watchful eyes of many people in the village.
"Are you happy?"
Commander Ma took the initiative to come to Xu Ruifeng and asked this question.
Lao Xu nodded.
"Carry it."
Commander Ma took off the medicine box from his shoulder, handed it to Xu Ruifeng and said, "Carry it."
He took off his shirt, and his left chest was wrapped in gauze that was clearly visible, and blood was oozing from the gauze.
Xu Ruifeng knew the position. If the injured position was even an inch off, even the gods would not be able to save Lao Ma's life.
"How was it done?"
As soon as Xu Ruifeng put the medicine box on his shoulder, the severe pain in his shoulder socket made him almost throw the whole box of medicine into the mountain. If Wang Ming's eyesight and hands hadn't been quick to catch the medicine box, the box of medicine would have been in vain.
When Xu Ruifeng also took off his clothes, Lao Ma and him, two shirtless men, looked at each other at the same time.
Well, neither man has even an inch of good skin on his body. In addition to whip wounds, gunshot wounds, and iron wounds, there are also various scars. It seems that they have suffered the same hardship.
Xu Ruifeng and Lao Ma, who had been blowing their beards and glaring just now, looked at each other and smiled. The scars on their bodies were like their glory. They straightened their backs to show off. The wounds on their bodies seemed to be wrapped in this sense of glory, and they didn't seem to hurt that much.
Already.
"You can't do it either. Why haven't you recovered from the injury you suffered at Tianwang Mountain?"
"I'm not as good as you, but just now you seemed to say that you came here to recover from your injuries. Does that mean that this wound was left in Nanman?"
These two people actually competed with each other.
Late at night, Lao Ma finally led the people out of the dangerous area. As soon as he said: "Let's take a break." Xu Ruifeng stopped him: "We can't take a break."
Lao Ma asked with confusion: "Why?"
"You don't understand Xu Damagang, let alone those people in Nipple Mountain."
"This is a man who spends every penny. We took out his Lu family's shack and took away so many boxes of medicine. There is no way he will not pursue the case. In addition, I heard that there are experts who track traces on Naitui Mountain. If we rest here,
If you don’t, you might get bitten.”
The old horse nodded and shouted again: "If we keep going forward, we will take a rest when the sun rises."
Soldiers and prisoners on death row are already exhausted after a night of torment, not to mention that they are walking on a mountain road carrying medicine boxes, and there is no light load on a long journey.
"Lao Xu, isn't your territory in Northern Manchuria? How come you know so much about the bandits in Binsui Tujia?"
"You have forgotten that my father is the head of Tianwang Mountain. I was raised as a child in a bandit den. At that time, Zuoshandiao's father was still a small family on the Green Forest Road, and Xu Damagang had not yet entered the industry.
"
"Okay, Lao Xu, are you tired of stories about mountain bandits? Tell us a few more to relieve our boredom."
After spending so many days with Xu Ruifeng, the little soldiers love to listen to his stories. He only needs to open his mouth to tell you stories very vividly.
"Want to hear?" Xu Ruifeng was not polite this time: "Then I will tell you the story of my master. In the Qing Dynasty, he chopped down foreigners with swords and chopped up government officials with axes!"
"Qing Dynasty? How old is your master?"
"How old are you? Everyone is gone!"
In June 1900, the Eight-Power Allied Forces formed a coalition and launched a war of aggression against China. The Dagu Fort fell, and the Eight-Power Allied Forces approached Tianjin.
Tianjin is the gateway to the capital, and the great powers have concessions in Tianjin's Zizhu Forest. Tianjin has become a place that the Qing army must defend and the coalition forces must win.
For nearly a month from June 17th to July 14th, the Tianjin army and civilians engaged in a life-and-death battle with the coalition forces in Zizhulin. This was the last bloody city defense battle of the Qing Empire.
On June 12, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces entrenched in Zizhulin deliberately provoked and shot people without any reason, which aroused great anger among the people of Tianjin. The Tianjin Boxers spoke for the country and claimed to attack the concession.
On the evening of the 19th, more than 400 Boxers attacked Zizhu Forest and began a heroic battle to attack Zizhu Forest.
At that time, the disparity in strength between the two sides reached an extreme. The Qing army was four times the enemy's, and the coalition forces were under siege and urgently awaited support from Dagu.
General Ma Yukun led the Seventh Battalion of the Left Army to participate in the battle, and Lieutenant Governor Nie Shicheng led the 30,000-strong armed guard front army to assist. Who would have thought that before the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Beijing, they were surrounded on three sides by the Qing army and the Boxer Rebellion in Zizhu Forest in Tianjin, and even forced
The Eight-Nation Allied Forces set up minefields to block the attack.
Unfortunately, they failed to stop them. Zhang Decheng used the Fire Bull Formation to destroy the mines, and the arrogant coalition forces fully experienced the bravery and fearlessness of the Chinese.
When Lao Ma heard this, the more he thought about it, the more confused he became: "Lao Xu, according to what you said, how did the Eight-Nation Allied Forces enter Beijing later?"
Many young warriors also chimed in: "Yeah, why did you lose then?"
Xu Ruifeng shook his head, just like when his master talked about this period of history, he kept his head down and remained silent. No matter who asked again, he would not get any answer.
