Zhu Ge's heart seemed to have been suddenly caught, and he suddenly contracted. His arms were weak, his face was as white as paper, and his whole person seemed to have lost his soul.

"Tell me where he is now?"

When several people saw the mayor like this, they didn't even dare to breathe.

"We were going to go out of the city to attack the national army, who knew that we met the commander of the company Liu who came to raid halfway, and learned that the national army had also entered the town, we followed to destroy the devils in the town, the captain of the army killed the Japanese officer, but the platoon commander of the national army suddenly shot him, and the captain of the army ...... His head was covered in blood, as if he had been killed, and the health officer of the Eighth Route Army carried the person away. We don't know if he's dead or alive, Mayor Mayor, don't worry, we'll go into the city immediately to find out the news. ”

Zhu Ge felt that his ears were buzzing, as if there were countless flies circling in his head, and he couldn't hear any more, except for the words "as if he had been killed", which smashed into his heart.

He suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and then a sweet smell entered his mouth from his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Mayor Mare!"

Several people rushed up to support the crumbling Zhu Ge and helped him back to the room.

This room was full of the smell of a bandit leader, Zhu Ge looked at the messy bed, and saw Wu Gong lying there with Erlang's legs crossed and his head propped on his elbows, and his face was full of jokes calling him a teacher.

Zhu Ge walked over quickly, but the person on the bed suddenly disappeared.

"Everyone, go and rest first, and in an hour, come down the mountain with me."

A few people went out uneasily.

Gong'er! Zhu Ge called for martial arts over and over again in his heart, his eyes were blank, he lay on the bed with his eyes open, surrounded by his breath, and a tear slipped down the corner of his eye.

His life is so hard, he must not die, maybe he was just injured and sent for treatment. Zhu Ge comforted himself again and again, his heart gradually calmed down, he took out the pistol given to him by Wu Gong from the bedside, and entered the underground secret room, wrapped some gold and silver in cloth, everything was ready, Zhu Ge gathered the people of the security team, let them guard the cottage, he decided not to bring anyone.

"Mayor Town, we don't worry about you going down the mountain alone."

"I don't feel at ease when you leave here, protect the townspeople here, don't go down the mountain if it's okay, I'll come back in a few days."

A few people still wanted to say something, but they were stopped by Wu Gong raising his hand, he was wearing a large beige cloak, and his hat covered half of his face, and everyone went all the way to the intersection, watching the straight back of their mayor disappear on the way down the mountain.

"The rumors are true, right? What is the relationship between Mayor Mare and Captain Wu? ”

"What nonsense, Captain Wu has done so much for the town, and now his life and death are unknown, of course the mayor is in a hurry!"

Several people returned to the cottage with their own thoughts.

When Zhu Ge entered the town, he saw that the battlefield had been cleaned, and in the compound of the security team, a pile of charred corpses was burning, and he could vaguely see the Japanese cockade and boots inside.

He's not here. Zhu Ge is sure. All the corpses of the Eighth Route Army and the National Army are not here. Even if martial arts die, they will not be thrown into the corpses of the Japanese.

He went straight to the school, where Wugong had been injured, and he had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

There were countless bullet casings on the playground, and there were large craters that had been blown out, and the classroom glass was shattered, and the entire school was destroyed.

The door of his office was open, and Zhu Ge walked over slowly, seeing blood stains on the lintel.

As if stepping on something, Zhu Ge lifted the black-faced cloth shoes, a familiar object, and lay quietly on the ground, stained with blood.

The teacher squatted down tremblingly, trembling his hands, and picked up the pen on the ground.

This is their fountain pen, the one he gave him, the one he will always carry with him.

"You actually lost my fountain pen......" Zhu Ge fumbled with the smooth shaft of the pen, and the blood stains on it seemed to tell him about the cruelty of this war.

Half a day later, Zhu Ge appeared at the gate of Wuji County, it seemed that he was under martial law, not allowed to enter or exit, the city gate was deserted, and only a few soldiers stood with guns.

"Fellow, what are you doing?" A small warrior stepped forward and asked.

"In the mayor of Xiawuji Town, I came to see Company Commander Liu for something."

As soon as they heard Zhu Ge say this, several people became cautious.

"We just went to Wuji Town last night, there was no one there, where did you come from?"

The muzzle of the gun was already set in front of Zhu Ge.

"If you don't believe me, you can go and report it, and say that Zhu Ge of Wuji Town is coming to visit." Zhu Ge took off the hat from his cloak and revealed his face.

"Zhu Ge? Mr. Zhu? A soldier not far away came over and greeted, "I was originally from the team of the senior company commander, and I have seen you." ”

So Zhu Ge was smoothly taken to the courtyard where Liu Dashan and they were stationed, it was still that place, and it was still the Eighth Route Army wearing gray military uniforms, but it was not Gao Yi who came out to greet him, but Liu Dashan.

Zhu Ge's eyes kept looking towards the room where the red cross flag was hung, and Liu Dashan walked over quickly and grabbed his hand and held it tightly.

"Hello sir!" His attitude was sincere, but Zhu Ge detected a trace of pity and apology in his eyes.

Maybe I was thinking too much, Zhu Ge thought, so he tried to pull the corners of his mouth and greet Gao Dashan.

"Everything is fine down here, Company Commander Liu, long time no see." Although Zhu Ge tried his best to hide his emotions, his trembling hands betrayed his mind.

"Sir, this is ......"

Liu Dashan felt the unrest in Zhu Ge's heart, and seeing that he was pale and dressed in messy clothes, he had already guessed the purpose of his coming.

Zhu Ge and martial arts, he knows a thing or two, Gao Yi and Red Sleeves have vaguely mentioned something to him, in the battle where Gao Yi sacrificed, he saw the extraordinary friendship between Zhu Ge and martial arts, because of this, Liu Dashan at this time was also very worried.

"I'm here for martial arts." Zhu Ge really couldn't wait to see someone, "I heard that he was injured, I came to visit, where is he?" It's not in that room. ”

Zhu Ge pointed to the room that was used as a ward, and raised his feet to walk over.

"Sir!" Seeing Zhu Ge like this, Liu Dashan felt a pain in his heart for no reason, he reached out and grabbed Zhu Ge's arm, "I want to tell you something, come with me." ”

Zhu Ge chuckled in his heart, his lips that were dry because of the long journey opened slightly, but in the end he couldn't say anything, he only felt that his legs were weak, and he couldn't take a step anymore.

"Let's talk about it right here." He simply closed his eyes, ready to accept any outcome.

Liu Dashan still pulled Wu Gong into the house, placed him in a chair, and gave him a cup of tea.

"Mr. Zhu, I know that you have a relationship with martial arts...... The camaraderie is deep, but ...... I still have to tell you that in the battle last night, the head of Wuda was shot in the head by Zheng Liang, although we tried our best to save it, but ......"

"Zheng Liang?" Zhu Ge never thought that this time it was Zheng Liang again.

"Last night was a joint operation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and Zheng Liang was the platoon commander of the national army squad."

Zhu Ge picked up the tea bowl, but the tea in it accidentally spilled out.

"That'...... Martial arts he ...... Dead? He said the word "death" with difficulty.

"It can only be said that his current life and death are unknown, our medical conditions here are poor, his condition is serious, and he has been sent to the field hospital overnight for rescue."

Liu Dashan's words hesitated and strengthened his heart, so that Zhu Ge immediately raised his spirits.

"You mean, he's still alive?"

"This ...... It's hard to say, when he left, he was already dying......"

Zhu Ge asked in a trembling voice with red eyes, "Where is the field hospital?" ”

"Sir, don't be impulsive, the field hospital is hundreds of miles away from Wuji County, and it will take four hours to reach it even if you drive, and the only car in Lianli has been sent to deliver martial arts last night."

Zhu Ge's breathing was stagnant, four hours, hundreds of miles, and bumpy all the way, could the martial arts who had been seriously injured stand it?

His hands were clenched tightly in his cloak, his nails embedded in his palms, but he felt no pain. No matter how far he went, even if he walked on his feet, he would go to the field hospital!

To live to see people, to die to see corpses!

"I'm tired of Company Commander Liu telling the address of the field hospital, and I will find a way to go over by myself in the next meeting."

Liu Dashan shook his head, pulled a pen and paper and wrote down a string of words and handed it to Zhu Ge.

"Thank you." Zhu Ge stepped out of the threshold with one foot, as if he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked, "Does Company Commander Liu know where Zheng Liang is now?" ”

"The national army received the task early in the morning and went to the side of Long County."

It just so happened that he was also going to Long County to borrow a car from Li Yu.

"I'm going to go on my way next, so I'm leaving."

Zhu Ge walked to the gate of the compound, and Liu Dashan led a horse out and put the reins into his hands.

"I hope Mr. Hopefully brings back good news."

Zhu Ge nodded gratefully at Liu Dashan, his steps were resolute, and he never looked back.

The distance from Wuji Town to Long County is not long, and with the fast horse sent by Liu Dashan, Zhu Ge quickly entered the city.

The streets seemed to be relatively calm, there was no shadow of the national army, the shops were open, and the hawkers on the street shouted one after another.

That's how it should be...... Zhu Ge sighed in his heart.

He led the horse to the outside of Wang Chuanxiong's medical hall, only to find that the door was locked. I didn't respond when I knocked on the door, but the people in the store next to me heard the movement and came out to take a look.

"Fellow, may I ask where is Dr. Wang of this medical hall?" Zhu Gezuo asked.

"I said I was going out to visit relatives, and it has been a few days, so let's go to another house to see a doctor."

"Does that fellow know where Boss Li, the pharmacist who often comes to this store, lives?" What he needs is Li Yu's car.

"You said Boss Li, he left with Dr. Wang, you better come back in a few days." After saying that, the uncle turned and went into the house.

Zhu Ge's heart was half cold.

He wandered the streets, the cries in his ears sounding so disturbing, and he turned to look at the horse he was leading, and made up his mind.

He found a pawnshop, took out two gold ingots from his package and exchanged them for some cash, and bought two changes of clothes and some dry food.

"Wait for me." Zhu Ge put the address given by Liu Dashan into his sleeve and muttered in a low voice.

He touched the horse's mane, clamped his legs, and the sturdy steed snorted and headed north.
