Chapter 21 Killing the Cow Taiping Village (I)

After a big dream, Li Siwei miraculously got better, but at this time his braincase was indeed a little messy. He was bent on avenging his dead brother, but the overall situation had been decided, the national army was defeated like a mountain, and the little devil's soldiers were unstoppable...... How can this revenge be avenged?

Li Siwei silently leaned on the ox cart, looking at the sky in a daze, the sky was gloomy, and from time to time there were little devils' planes passing by, it didn't drop bombs, nor did it shoot, it just circled so proudly for a while, and then Shi Shiran flew north.

Liao Heiniu drove the ox cart and spat hatefully, "The little devil of the dog day is too rampant." ”

Everyone looked at the sky and scolded indignantly, "If you have the ability, come down, dog!" ”

Li Siwei sat up suddenly, "Brothers, Lao Tzu has a deal, can you do it?" ”

"What's the deal?" And all the people looked at him.

Li Siwei's gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, and more than a dozen brothers were all ragged and tired, but those eyes gradually brightened.

The speed with which Li Siwei recovered from his injury was a miracle, and they witnessed this miracle with their own eyes, which led them to believe that this young officer was a different person.

Li Siwei perked up, "The battle in Nanjing is really bad, can you bear this breath?" Anyway, Lao Tzu can't bear it! ”

Liao Heiniu smiled, "Turtle son, what can I do if I can't bear it?" So many brothers can't stop the little devils, what can we do with more than ten people? ”

"Yes," everyone was a little depressed, they were also the elite of the 88th Division, but in the first battle of Yuhuatai, the 88th Division suffered casualties, and the whole division was 6 or 7,000 people, and there were only more than ten people left who fled here from Nanjing City.

Li Siwei shook his head, "No, it's not our more than ten brothers, there are so many brothers on this Jinpu Road?" ”

"Forget it," someone shook his head, "they're all busy running for their lives, who will listen to you?" ”

Li Siwei smiled, "How do you know if you don't try?" Let's go, first go to the village in front of me to rest, get some food, run all the way, Lao Tzu is also hungry. ”

"You're hungry hammer!" Liao Heiniu scolded with a smile, "Your turtle is lying in the car all day long, but the old men have been running for two days, and you are the hungriest?" ”

Li Siwei smiled, jumped out of the car, and smiled at Ning Rou: "Ning Rou, you sit down." ”

Ning Rouqiao's face flushed slightly, and she shook her head, "No need." Her medicine box was placed on the ox cart, and she was holding Li Siwei's saber in her hand, which was still the unscabbarded saber that Li Siwei had snatched from Miyamoto Daisa, and she was on crutches all the way.

"If you are told to sit, you will do it," Li Siwei smiled and took the saber from her hand, and was about to carry her to the ox cart, "If you don't sit again, you won't have a chance......

Ning Rou blushed and hurriedly climbed into the ox cart, and when everyone laughed, her face turned even redder.

The crowd quickened their pace, and in a short time they were in front of a village. This is a small village, a typical water town in the south of the Yangtze River, one hundred and ten houses are lined up on both sides of the avenue, scattered and caused, a memorial arch at the entrance of the village, and three big characters of "Taiping Village" are written on it.

Li Siwei sighed secretly when he saw it, Taiping Village? The world longs for peace, but this peace must be exchanged for the blood and lives of generations of brave people.

As soon as the news of the fall of Nanjing spread, the magistrates, gentry, landlords, and ordinary people in the villages and towns of Jiangbei fled in despair.

Li Siwei and his entourage slowly entered the village, and many fleeing soldiers and civilians had gathered in the village...... Food is more precious than anything else for those who have fled.

Walking to the center of the village, the crowd did not find a suitable place to stay, and one of the soldiers scolded in annoyance: "Dog, we are late, and all the shots that can be eaten have been made naked......"

Li Siwei laughed, pointed to a big mansion in front of him, and said with a smile, "Let's go, there's a big house there, let's go in and eat whole beef." ”

"What?" Everyone was stunned and looked at him in surprise, "Eat beef?" ”

"Right?" Li Siwei nodded and pointed to the old cow pulling the cart, "Just eat it." ”

"No way!" Ning Rou hurriedly retorted: "It's still of great use to keep this car!" ”

"Yes," everyone nodded, "this cow can't be eaten!" There is still such a long way ahead, and anyone can sit down if they are injured or sick. ”

Li Siwei ignored them and yelled at Liao Heiniu: "Go with Lao Tzu." When he had finished yelling, he strode towards the great mansion.

Liao Heiniu was stunned for a moment, pulled the cow and followed, and the others also hesitated to follow.

This should be the mansion of the landlord Lao Cai, the high gate compound, the vermilion gate is open, a group of routs have gathered in the courtyard, and more than a dozen men with ragged clothes and haggard faces are gnawing sweet potatoes and corn cobs...... I don't know where they found it, but on the way to escape, I was lucky to be able to fill my stomach.

"Brother, which part?" A tall officer put down the sweet potato in his hand, stood up with his gun in his hand, and looked at Li Siwei and his party vigilantly.

Li Siwei smiled at him, "Lao Tzu is from the twenty-sixth division, and if you are hungry, come in and eat on the hour." ”

The officer glanced at him and shook his head slowly, "Hehe, you're late, and you don't have ......anything to eat."

When Liao Heiniu heard this, he glared at him and scolded: "You turtles are too unrighteous, they are all brothers in distress, what's wrong with sharing your sweet potatoes with us?" ”

The man's face turned red, "Don't blame your brother, the road ahead is still long, who knows if you can find something to eat." ”

The No. 10 brothers behind him also stood up, holding their spears tightly and looking at Li Siwei and them vigilantly, they were all middle-of-the-box, and they were all equipment only available in elite troops.

Liao Heiniu wanted to scold again, but Li Siwei smiled and said: "Heiniu, Lao Tzu ran from Sichuan to Shanghai, fought from Shanghai to Nanjing, and fled here from Nanjing...... All the way over, it can be regarded as nine deaths, just to run over and eat sweet potatoes? ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they saw Li Siwei slowly walking to the old cow's side with the cold and shining saber.

Suddenly, he waved his saber high in both hands, turned around, and slashed down fiercely, "Poof...... ...... old cow only had time to let out a miserable howl, and the good cow's head fell to the ground with bones, and with a "poof", the old cow's huge body fell to the ground, twitching incessantly, and the cow's blood splashed Li Siwei's face...... Everyone was stunned.

Li Siwei wiped a handful of ox blood from his face and shouted, "Brothers, today, Lao Tzu...... Eat beef! ”

"Are you crazy?" Ning Rou glared at him with red eyes, "It was the ...... that brought you from Pukou here"

"Lao Tzu knows," Li Siwei looked at her deeply, and his eyes were red, "It's Lao Tzu who owes it...... However, Lao Tzu still owes his life, owes Tang Monk, owes Yellow Mao'er, and owes Chen Dashan...... I owe the lives of my dead brothers......"

Li Siwei's voice trembled, but the words hit everyone's hearts like a hammer, they are all people who die for a lifetime, who doesn't owe people lives?

"I can't always owe it like this!" Li Siwei roared in a low voice with red eyes, forcing everyone to look at him, "Do you want to owe them such a lifetime?" ”

Everyone was silent, and lowered their heads slightly, they crawled out of the pile of dead people, but who had slept peacefully?

"Who the fuck wants to live a lifetime in debt?" The tall officer glared at Li Siwei with red eyes, "As soon as Lao Tzu closed his eyes, he saw his brothers, they were looking at Lao Tzu one by one, and they were always asking me...... Company commander, have we avenged ourselves? Have we avenged our vengeance......"

He couldn't stop crying, "But...... I can't say it...... I can't say it...... Brothers...... I'm still running for my life......"

Everyone's eyes were red when they heard this, and some people were already secretly wiping their tears.

Li Siwei walked over slowly and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Brother, we won't run away, let's stay and pay off the debt." ”

"Ah......" the officer looked up sharply and looked at him in a daze, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Siwei stared at his eyes tightly, and said word by word: "Blood debt and blood repayment!" ”

The officer met his gaze, gradually calmed down, and finally nodded heavily, "Okay, stay and pay off the debt, Lao Tzu can't be a deserter for the rest of his life!" ”

Li Siwei breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to look at everyone, "Okay, the cow has been killed, and the brothers who are willing to stay will come over to help......

Everyone is silent, go or stay, that is the choice of life and death!

"Forget it," a big man got out of the crowd and shouted: "Lao Tzu doesn't escape, when the Northeast Army lost the three eastern provinces, Lao Tzu was only fourteen years old, and fled with his family all the way to Beiping and Nanjing...... I'm the only one left in the family. Later, Lao Tzu was also tired of escaping, so he ran to become a soldier, who the hell knew that he would have to flee even if he was a soldier, fled from Shanghai to Nanjing, and fled here from Nanjing...... This time, Lao Tzu didn't run away...... You can't let people scold the Northeast men for being soft eggs. ”

"Yes, Lao Tzu is not leaving," another lean man came out, "The Northeast dolls are hard, and the Guangxi men can't be cowardly......"

"Yes, Lao Tzu also stayed," for a while, the crowd was emotional, shouts with various accents rang out in the courtyard, and the rout soldiers in various costumes continued to pour in outside the courtyard.

"Okay," Li Siwei shouted loudly, "Since the brothers have thought about it, let's start the whole thing, stew beef and have a full meal, and then kill the devil to avenge the brothers and pay off the ......debts for themselves."

Everyone agreed, and they took action one after another, killing cattle and killing cows, setting pots and pots, looking for firewood and carrying water......

In the crowd, a stocky man smiled at a thin young man: "Xie Gouzi, when did your doll have this dog guts?" ”

The young man smiled shyly, "Lao Tzu has never eaten a full meal since he was a child, and if he can eat a beef today, he will not ......be wronged even if he dies."

The big man scolded with a smile: "You will think about it, go, go with Lao Tzu to find a pot, so the big cow has to find a few more pots......"

Li Siwei watched this scene silently, no matter why they stayed, this was a good start, but the next step can't be wrong!

"You ......" Ning Rou said softly beside him, "Are you killing cattle just to let them fight with you?" ”

Li Siwei nodded lightly and sighed: "Girl, I don't want to see dead people, but ...... In this world, someone always needs to fight with the little devils, right? ”

"I understand," Ning Rou nodded lightly, "I'll be with you." As she spoke, she quietly looked at the ragged soldiers in the courtyard, and her eyes moistened...... She is also a military man, and she knows the duties of a military man! If someone has to sacrifice for the country and the nation, then the military must be at the forefront!

A stout man, wielding a short knife and flying with it, quickly peeled off the cowhide and cut off the meat piece by piece, while several people around him were busy giving him hands......

Li Siwei walked over with a smile, "Brother, the knife skills are good." ”

The man didn't look back, "I used to be a butcher in my hometown for a few years, and I killed pigs, cattle and sheep......

"Oh," Li Siwei was interested, "what's your name?" ”

The man paused, raised his head and smiled at him, "The big name is Wei Cheng, and the brothers all call me Wei Yidao......"

"Why?" Ning Rou followed Li Siwei and asked with some curiosity.

A hand-off man smiled kindly at the beautiful little nurse, "He has always killed devils with a knife, so we all call him Wei Yidao." ”

"Hey, you're very skilled," Li Siwei smiled, "Teach me when you want." ”

"Yes," the man kept in his hands, glanced up at Li Siwei, and said with a smile, "Sir, you must be a big official, right?" ”

"Oh, why do you say that?" Li Siwei was a little puzzled.

A man said with a smile: "There are so many people who have escaped from Nanjing City, and there are a few who can sit on an ox cart...... This ox cart is a rare object, and only a high-ranking official can sit on it. ”

Li Siwei suddenly shook his head and smiled: "Where can I be considered a big official...... Now that the cow is killed, everyone eats together, and in the future, they will all be brothers, and they will fight devils together. ”

"Yes," everyone nodded.

Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, not to mention a group of hungry soldiers? In a short time, three large cauldrons were set up in the courtyard, dry wood was shelved, and beef was stewed......

The flames were jumping, the beef was gurgling, the smell of meat was spreading, the courtyard slowly gathered a hundred and ten people, and there were many fleeing people outside the door looking at them, but they didn't dare to approach when they saw these soldiers with guns on their shoulders.

Li Siwei sat on the steps and frowned slightly, this is a good start, but then there must be a beautiful victory, otherwise the morale that has been gathered so hard will soon collapse...... But where do you go to find such a victory?

At this time, the tall officer came over and sat down beside Li Siwei by himself, "Brother, what do you call it?" ”

Li Siwei turned his head to look at him, "My name is Li Siwei, the commander of the third battalion of the 154th Regiment of the 26th Division, and my brothers all call me Li Cannon." ”

"Oh, Brother Li, hello," the officer nodded, "My name is Lu Sen, and everyone calls me Sen Barbarian, the captain of the 36th Division...... Brother Li, your move is good, but what should you do in the future? Alas, the brothers fought too badly in the First Battle of Nanjing, and if they were defeated again, the morale of the brothers would be ......."

"Well," Li Siwei nodded, and suddenly smiled, "Brother Lu, don't worry...... Soon we will have a victory. ”

The forest barbarian looked at him suspiciously, frowning slightly, this guy shouldn't be talking big, right?

Li Siwei naturally knew his doubts, and smiled disapprerovingly: "Brother Lu, the most important thing now is to pull the team up first. ”
