Chapter Seventy-Four: Staying in the Mountains
Lu Gang helped Xiao Lin to stand up slowly.
The miracle didn't happen as the monkey thought, and he saw that they weren't devils. He could tell from the collar of their inner clothes, one of them revealing a coarse cloth collar normally worn only by rural people. Nguyen Hung wore such a collar.
He stood up and helped Xiao Lin to stand up, smiled at them, and said a word in Japanese, which was the word of the password that Zhou Zidan told him, and he asked the two devils in front of him so much that he didn't know how to answer.
"Forget it, don't pretend, come out quickly, this is not a devil in front of me, fake devils are in front of me, I won't fight, we are all Chinese!"
As soon as the words fell, I heard a gust of wind wrapped in hearty laughter, and a hula descended from the sky and stood in front of Lu Gang and Xiaolin.
Fluffy hair, big face, thick black eyebrows, big and sunken eyes, big and strong, high and open, dressed in black, a gun stuck between a brown belt around his waist, and a pair of Japanese devil's military boots on his legs looked nondescript and awkward.
Lu Gang didn't love it when he saw it, he turned his head and didn't look at the guy in front of him.
This person greeted the two "devils" and the two "devils" behind: "Put down the gun, this is a hero, a hero who kills devils, don't come over quickly." Go and take that burden. ”
"Heroes." After speaking, the man didn't care whether Lu Gang looked at him or not, he arched his hands and hugged his fists and said: "The hero is above, and he is worshiped by the small." ”
"You guys are," Lu Gang asked strangely.
"We've been waiting here for days, and we're waiting for the hero to show up. My name is Long Zhonghao. The man introduced himself.
"Get up, get up. We are not heroes, just kill so many devils, not count, there are still devils in the city, kill them. Lu Gang helped him up.
"My name is Lu Gang, and he is Xiaolin. The monkey came over and met Brother Long. Battalion Commander Geng, Sister Wei, you all come here. Lu Gang shouted at them happily.
"May I ask if you are from the old gentleman yesterday?" Geng Zitang walked up and asked Long Zhonghao.
Long Zhonghao smiled and said, "Exactly, exactly." Hero, it was the old gentleman who asked me to meet you here, I have been waiting for several days, I have not waited for you, there is nothing to eat, I was about to turn around and get food, but I didn't expect you all to appear. Brother, did you bring anything to eat? ”
When Geng Zitang heard this, he laughed, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." After speaking, he took off the cloth bag on his body, took out the rice ball, and handed it to Long Zhonghao.
"Come here, brothers, one for each of you. It smells so good. Long Zhonghao sniffed and called out to those fake devils.
"Uh, uh, Battalion Commander Geng, I want to eat too, I've been carrying it for so long, and I'm hungry." The monkey stretched out his hand and asked Camp Commander Geng for rice balls. Lu Wei opened his hand and said, "It's for you to eat, you say I'm stupid, I won't let Brother Geng eat it for you." ”
"I made this rice ball, and the pumpkin pie, I made it, why don't you let me eat it?" The monkey was unwilling and followed Lu Wei to do it.
"Little sister, are you deliberately angry with Brother Monkey again? Come here, my brother has something to tell you. Lu Gang called Lu Wei. Lu Wei walked over, and Lu Gang said to Lu Wei: "You are not allowed to bully your monkey brother in the future, do you hear that?" Lu Wei made a grimace at Lu Gang, came to Geng Zitang's side and took out two rice balls and a few pumpkin pies from inside, gave the rice balls to the monkey and Geng Zitang, and left the pumpkin pie and called Brother, asking Brother and Xiaolin if they wanted? Lu Gang said that he was not hungry, so get one for Xiaolin.
Lu Gang asked Long Tianhao and said, "How far is it?" ”
Long Tianhao said: "Go, go up, until you hear the sound of the piano." ”
"Piano?"
"Yes, the old gentleman plays, he plays it for half a day every day, and no one speaks." Long Zhonghao said.
"Xiaolin, can you still go?" Lu Gang asked Xiaolin with concern.
"Brother Pole, it's okay, you can go." Kobayashi said. But his face was pale.
"I almost forgot, brothers, quick, go get the stretcher." Long Zhonghao waved at the fake devil.
"You also have a stretcher?" Geng Zitang was a little puzzled.
"Yes, there are two, one for this girl and one for this boy. The old gentleman personally instructed him, and he said that there were two seriously wounded people at the foot of the mountain, a man and a woman, one with a waist injury and the other with a sternum, and he specially asked us to prepare to pick you up. Long Zhonghao said softly.
"Oh, the old gentleman is really too thoughtful, Brother Xiaolin, you don't have to go, someone is carrying you, it's so comfortable." The monkey shouted.
"If you get shot in the chest, you go and lie down on it and have the family carry you." Lu Gang said with a smile.
"If Brother Monkey had been shot in the chest, I was afraid that he would have died a long time ago, and he would have been on a stretcher, so I don't believe it." Lu Wei joked.
The monkey smiled and said, "That is, my bones are not beaten, and if I am really hit, I can still carry the burden here?" Kobayashi, did you say? He walked up to Kobayashi and said.
"Not necessarily, sometimes bullets have eyes." Xiao Lin spoke a little weakly.
The stretcher came, and they helped Xiao Lin and Lu Wei onto the stretcher respectively.
"Okay, have you eaten everything? Eaten, let's go. Long Zhonghao put the last bite of rice ball into his mouth and spoke.
I don't know how long I walked, and sometimes I stopped to rest a few times in the middle, and almost all of them had to eat a rice ball, and the physical labor consumed physical energy, so they had to eat to satisfy their hunger. Geng Zitang said: "It's okay to reduce my burden. When the monkey heard this, he immediately came up and said, "Brother Geng, give me one, and I'll help you reduce your burden." ”
"And then." The monkey took the cloth bag thrown by Camp Commander Geng and saw that it was empty, which made Lu Wei laugh out loud. The monkey just wanted to throw away the cloth bag, but after a moment of hesitation, he threw it into the basket and said, "Anyway, I have to eat lunch, so I don't believe that the old gentleman has no food to eat." ”
"Monkey, yes, it's almost there. Do you hear the piano? Wu Zhonghao told the monkey with a smile.
Sure enough, the melodious sound of the piano penetrated through the mountains and forests through the bamboo sea, floating over from the mountain, elegant and fresh, sometimes like the mountain stream spring water dingdong, sometimes like the mountain wind roaring, sometimes like a hundred birds chirping, sometimes like ten thousand horses galloping.
"That's nice." It was the first time Lu Wei heard such a beautiful piano sound, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Lu Gang and the others seemed to be attracted by the sound of the piano, and they all stopped there to listen.
"Let's go, let's go, turn the corner in front, you can see a piece of ping, and you'll be there, are you afraid that you won't be able to hear the old gentleman's piano?" Long Zhonghao looked at them as if he was intoxicated, and urged them busily.
As Long Zhonghao said, a turn is a ping. A boulder stood in front of them, and the four big characters came into their eyes.
"Flowing water." Lu Gang said. As soon as he finished reading, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and I saw the old man's clear laughter: "The hero is coming, and the old man is far away." ”
"Old gentleman." Lu Gang greeted him.
"Tianhao, quickly put the person on the stretcher into the bed in the house." After the old man finished instructing, he looked at Lu Gang and said, "You kid is really good, you slept as soon as you came back yesterday, and you didn't even pay attention to me, a rude guy." ”
Lu Gang looked at Geng Zitang and Lu Wei: "Is this really the case?" Ah, old gentleman, I am sorry, and I hope that the old gentlemen will forgive me. Seeing Geng Zitang nodded, he was embarrassed.
"Haha, young man, it's okay, but just kidding, come, Tianhao, you take them to the house to sit first. It's been so many days, I'm going to have to change my dressing with them. After speaking, he went straight to Xiao Lin and Lu Wei's room. There were a few women busy in the next room, which was supposed to be a stove house, and the chimney on the roof was smoking.
Lu Gang saw the piano placed on the front lawn of the house, a stone bench, and a piano on a long stone table. The monkey couldn't help but touch it, and as soon as it moved, his voice began to scream, and the monkey said, "It's so interesting." Lu Gang was surprised that he saw a large bronze bell hanging high on the eaves.
Long Tianhao told him that this bell will ring once there is a situation, there is a difference between slow knocking three times and fast knocking three times, slow ringing is just a gathering of people in the mountains, and fast ringing will only be used in case of emergency. He said that yesterday it was the old gentleman who used a quick knock to gather them together, and then went to Lu Gang's place.
When Lu Gang turned around and looked out of the mountain, a river lay in front of him, and the villages below were also clear at a glance, and he finally understood why the old gentleman appeared in front of them with people last night. Not only did I add some admiration to the old man in my heart.
He called the monkey over, pointed to the basket placed in the ping, and said, "Brother Long, this is a gift that we don't respect at all, monkey, let Brother Long accept these things." ”
"There's no bullets, and this gun is useless." Said the monkey.
"Each gun is equipped with one, monkey wait for you to take a few bullets from Xiaolin's gun, and a few bullets if there are a few guns." Lu Gang took out his gun, took out the two bullets, and then stretched out his hand to Geng Zitang.
Geng Zitang understood, took out the gun from his waist and gave two bullets to Lu Gang, and said, "I'll go and see how Xiaolin and Lu Wei are doing." ”
"Ten guns, Master." After the monkey counted them, he took out five more bullets from his pocket, plus the four in Lu Gang's hand, for a total of nine. Lu Gang gave all the bullets to Long Zhonghao: "There's no way, that's all, let's go to Xiaolin to see if it's okay?" ”
Wu Tianhao heard this and hurriedly said, "Enough, enough." Except for only a dozen or so people here who know how to shoot, no one else needs this, and there are usually no devils here, so you don't need so much, I think you should use it first. ”
"Brother Long, even if this is a meeting gift, you can keep it to prevent devils from coming, there is nothing wrong with this." Lu Gang didn't take the bullet that Wu Tianhao wanted to return to him, and returned it to Long Zhonghao: "Okay, let's take a look at Xiaolin, monkey." ”
When they entered the house, they happened to see that the old man was already washing his hands, and when he saw Lu Gang and them coming in, he said happily: "You have come at the right time, if you delay for another day or two, their wounds will be suppurated, and it will be difficult to deal with it at that time, fortunately, fortunately." ”
"Thank you, sir." Lu Wei, who was lying on the bed, was being bandaged by Geng Zitang, and she said sweetly to the old man.
Xiao Lin also owes a debt and says, "I feel much better than the first few days, and it doesn't hurt so much." ”
"This is your treasure gourd, I brought it." The monkey took the gourd out of the basket and gave it to the old man. The old man took it and laughed: "Good, good. Tianhao, it's time to eat. ”
"Dad, it's almost there." Long Tianhao responded outside.
The old gentleman is his father? Seeing Lu Gang's doubts, he told them that Long Tianhao was his adopted son. I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I am almost twenty years old this year.
"Daddy, it's time to eat." As he was talking, Long Tianhao came.
After eating, Lu Gang said he was leaving. The old man said, "That's not good, you can't walk until your injuries are healed." It will take a period of conditioning to recover. ”
"Do you want to fight devils? Take me there. Long Tianhao said to Lu Gang with a smile.
Lu Gang didn't say anything, just smiled and patted him on the shoulder, thinking that this young man was really clever enough.
couldn't stand the retention, Lu Gang and they still stayed, and this stay Lu Gang found something unusual about the old man.
