Chapter 3 (I) Vega and his family
In less than an hour, there were less than a hundred and fifty people left in the hall of the railway station, all of whom stood neatly and in line, retaining the last of their dignity.
The officer jumped down from the iron platform, dusted his trench coat, walked up to the one hundred and fifty men, laughed suddenly, and then kicked one of the men in front of him.
The man flew several meters away and struggled to get up, but his thigh was already broken, and as soon as he got up, the officer drew a gun and shot him in the other leg, causing him to collapse directly to the ground and wail in pain.
At this time, the prisoners who had not yet fully entered the left and right gates, and the prisoners who were still in line turned their heads to look, but they all had indifferent eyes, and many people glanced at them and turned their heads. Then something unexpected happened, and several of the prisoners who were going to join the Loyal Army turned and walked back, picked up the man, and stood back in the ranks, glaring at the colonel Shandu.
"Backbone!" Reuben looked and nodded.
Tang Shuxing shook his head: "Yes, there is backbone, but at the same time it is also very stupid." ”
Reuben glared at Tang Shuxing: "How can you say that? ”
"If it were me, I would choose to be a loyal army, save my life first, and then wait for the opportunity to move, at this time to fight, I will only lose my life, and I will also kill others." Tang Shuxing looked at Ruben coldly, "Sounds cruel, right?" I have been so shameless and shameless for so many years, I don't keep my cheap life, no one will cherish it for you, this is the reality, first learn to survive, and then learn to fight! ”
From the bottom of his heart, Lu Ben still disagreed with Tang Shuxing's words, but was silent.
Tang Shuxing looked at the freight train and said, "Let's go." We got on the train first, hid under the train, it looked like the train was going to the concentration camp, and I wanted to go to the concentration camp. ”
Tang Shuxing took Ruben away, went around in a big circle, and finally found a train near the tracks, then found a carriage, climbed to the bottom, fixed his body with belts and other objects that could be used, and waited for the train to start.
But the train started an hour later than they expected. If it weren't for something that fixed the body. I'm afraid that Ruben will not be able to support it for a long time.
In an hour, in addition to the one hundred and fifty or so captives, prisoners were brought in from other places, adding up to more than three hundred people. They were stripped naked and thrown into the freight wagon. Then the train started slowly. Head north.
After a whole day's travel, the train stopped at a small station, and the exhausted Ruben left the train with the help of Tang Shuxing. Before the prisoners on the train were escorted down by the soldiers, they rolled out of the snow into the nearby bushes and waited.
The two men in the snow wrapped their clothes tightly and did not dare to move, because it was early morning, and the two were not wearing snow camouflage, and once they moved, they were easy to be discovered, and after a long wait, the door of the carriage opened, and the soldiers threw a bunch of cotton clothes into it, let the captives change into it, and then escorted them out, and rode in the wagon that had been waiting for a long time next to them, and marched towards the further north.
Lu Ben wanted to chase, but was stopped by Tang Shuxing: "Don't worry, since it's by car, then it's definitely not far from the concentration camp, and it's all snow, except for their military vehicles, there are no civilian vehicles, we just need to walk along the road at night and look at the wheel prints." ”
"So what do we do now?" Reuben asked.
Tang Shuxing looked around: "Find a house around, it's best to find old clothes and other things to change into, dry this clothes, and definitely can't throw them away, because we may still be able to use them, but we really can't use them, we have to do it again, but we must not kill people, because this is behind enemy lines, once they kill people, they will immediately find that someone has sneaked in." Maybe we have already been found in Barcelona now, but we don't know that we are gone, and maybe we are searching for it all over the city. ”
Ruben nodded, and then asked, "You must be a soldier, right?" I feel like you have more battlefield experience than my instructors. ”
Tang Shuxing smiled: "Don't try to take my words, but in fact, my battlefield experience is not as rich as those instructors of yours, my escape experience is richer than theirs, and I have fought side by side with them more than once, stop talking nonsense, let's go!" ”
On the way out, Tang Shuxing and Ruben both deliberately detoured, messing up the footprints, and were also praying for another heavy snowfall, not enough light snow, light snow was not enough to cover the footprints.
After walking for more than an hour, they found an abandoned village, where there was no one in it, and every now and then a wild dog could be seen running out, stopping there to watch them vigilantly, and then turning around and running away.
"Follow the dog!" Tang Shuxing said in a low voice.
Reuben nodded, followed Tang Shuxing and ran forward, while asking, "Why do you want to follow the dog?" ”
"Didn't you say that? Chandus expelled the population of Spain twice, and this kind of place is so remote that the Wehrmacht will not come too often, but the dog saw us, and did not bark with his teeth, and was very calm, indicating that there must be other people with him on weekdays, and this is not a wild dog. Tang Shuxing walked cautiously with a gun in front, stopping from time to time, looking at the dog in front of him, not daring to follow too closely.
The two followed the dog around the village twice, and the dog finally ran into a church, and Tang Shuxing and Ruben also hurriedly followed, looked cautiously inside at the gate, and then leaned in and closed the door again.
Tang Shuxing looked at the mess of the church, and there were still a lot of old Spanish currency pesetas that had been discarded by people, and euros that had long been wasted paper everywhere.
Reuben grabbed the banknotes and shoved them into his arms, because the paper was dry and could be used for warmth.
Tang Shuxing motioned for him not to make a sound, and then looked at the dog standing on the platform, the dog made a low cry at a stone slab on the right side of the platform, Tang Shuxing looked strange, and walked over cautiously, the dog was not frightened, just tilted his head to look at him, and then sniffed the stone slab with his nose.
"Reuben, vigilance." After Tang Shuxing finished speaking, he stepped on the stone slab with his foot, found that it was loose, knocked it again, and said to the dog after hearing the empty sound below, "There's something down here, right?" ”
The dog seemed to understand him, and sniffed it again, and Reuben glanced at it to the side.
Tang Shuxing pulled out the dragon blade and carefully pried open the floor, who knew this pry, found that the floor and the floor within five square meters around were connected together, after Tang Shuxing pried it open, he completely moved the large floor with his hands, and then saw a dark grid below, which was full of cans and other things.
Tang Shuxing grabbed a can, looked at the dog and said, "Sure enough, the dog's nose is the most intelligent, do you want to eat it?" ”
The dog immediately stepped forward to lick Tang Shuxing's chin, and just as Tang Shuxing was about to use the Yin Bee to open the can, a child in his early teens appeared at the door of the church, still holding a shotgun in his hand, the muzzle of the gun was pointed at Tang Shuxing and Ruben, and then shouted: "Put it down!" You two thieves, this is my thing! ”
The dog immediately barked with pleasure and rushed towards the child, shaking his head and flicking his tail in front of him.
Tang Shuxing nodded, then put down the can, put down his sword and weapon, motioned to Ruben to do the same, and then stood on the side and said: "Okay, I'll put it down, we didn't want to steal anything, we just followed this dog, we wanted to find its owner, it seems that you are its owner, right?" ”
The boy looked at their clothes: "You scumbags of Shandu, go and die!" ”
Saying that, the kid pulled the trigger, Tang Shuxing immediately leaned over and Lu Ben dodged, both of them looked helpless, but the shooting distance of the shotgun was always limited, and it could only be loaded with two bullets at a time, and after the second bullet was fired by the child, Tang Shuxing walked out directly, raised his hands and said: "Don't get excited, we are not bad people, nor are we soldiers from Shangdu, we are just wearing their clothes." ”
When the child saw Tang Shuxing coming, he hurriedly put his hand into the pocket of his clothes and felt for the bullet, but grabbed a handful of candy and hurriedly threw it on the ground, and when he finally found the bullet, the shotgun in his hand had been snatched away by Tang Shuxing.
"If you're going to use a gun, don't use that, there are too few bullets, although it's good at close range." Tang Shuxing pulled out his pistol and handed it to him, "Will you use it?" ”
The child looked at Tang Shuxing in surprise, then nodded, took the gun, but still pointed at Tang Shuxing.
Tang Shuxing smiled: "There is no magazine." ”
The child subconsciously looked at it, but was snatched away by Tang Shuxing, unloaded the magazine full of bullets, and then put it back and said: "If you think that the person in front of you is the enemy, then you have to remember that what the enemy gives you and what the enemy says are all conspiracy, give it to you." ”
Tang Shuxing handed the gun to the child again, the child didn't take it, just looked at him, Tang Shuxing stuffed the gun into his hand, then leaned over and grabbed his candy, stuffed it into his pocket, and helped him load the bullets of the shotgun, and handed it to him: "We are really not soldiers in Shangdu, we are the Resistance, and the one behind me is Second Lieutenant Ruben of the Resistance." ”
Ruben stood behind and smiled at the child, who also smiled reluctantly, and looked at Tang Shuxing again: "Are you really the Resistance?" ”
"If we hadn't, you'd have died long ago, along with your pet." Tang Shuxing looked at the dog next to him who was tilting his head and looking at him.
The child squatted down and hugged his dog and said, "He's not a pet, he's my family, and his name is Ace." ”
"Hello, Ace." Tang Shuxing smiled at the dog, and the dog immediately let out a low crook in response, and Tang Shuxing looked at the child again and asked, "What about you?" What's your name? ”
"My name is ...... What about you? The kid looked at Tang Shuxing with wide eyes.
"His name is T, you can call him Mr. T." Ruben interjected in the back, and Tang Shuxing nodded at the child, indicating that what Ruben said was correct.
"Mr. T? What a strange name, is it a code name? The child's face was puzzled.
"Sort of, I've introduced myself, it's your turn." Tang Shuxing sat on the bench next to him and looked at him.
"My name is Pabello. Vega! The boy replied, "This is the name my uncle gave me!" (To be continued......)
