Sachiko felt more comfortable after drinking the medicine.

After Zhao Zilong placed the other party, he went to the medicine cabinet to watch the junior apprentice grab the medicine and give the money.

After the apprentice finished grabbing the medicine, he immediately set up a small stove and said, "Sir, your wife's medicine must be taken immediately, and there can be no delay for a moment." ”

"Okay, hurry up." Zhao Zilong nodded.

"This little brother, is there anyone else here to harass?" Taking advantage of the other party's idleness, Zhao Zilong asked.

When he came to Egret Island, he found that although the houses here were dilapidated, most of them were in good condition, and the lives of those people did not seem to have been disturbed in any way.

It was less than ten kilometers away from the city of Nanjing, which was not very far, so he was a little surprised.

However, Zhao Zilong didn't know what kind of mentality the people here had towards devils, so he was a little vague.

"Peep! That's when the little devils come here from time to time. Who knew that the junior apprentice snorted coldly, his face was indignant.

"And when do they usually come?"

Zhao Zilong is a little worried, Sachiko is recuperating here, if the devil comes, it will be a little troublesome.

"The devils come when they want, they don't stipulate when they come." The apprentice shook his head.

Zhao Zilong wanted to ask more, but the junior apprentice was called by Lao Langzhong to help, so he left to cook Chinese medicine.

-

When Zhao Zilong gave Sachiko the medicine to take, the middle-aged gentleman walked in.

He looked at Zhao Zilong, smiled and asked, "This brother, it's noon, and Lao Langzhong said to stay here to eat." ”

"Huh? No need. Zhao Zilong was a little unexpected, and instinctively shook his head. Although he saw that there was a warm heart in that old man, he didn't want to trouble the other party, and, more importantly, from the words of this middle-aged gentleman, he seemed to feel a trace of strangeness.

The middle-aged gentry didn't expect Zhao Zilong to refuse, his face changed, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"You're welcome, the meal is ready." At this time, the curtain of the door was opened, and the old man came over.

The old man, pinching his beard, looked at the middle-aged gentry, smiled slightly and said: "Hanging a pot to help the world, curing diseases and saving people has always been my family rule." ”

Zhao Zilong was stunned, and he didn't quite understand why the other party said this.

"Eliminating violence and peace, dispelling evil and upholding righteousness has always been my doorway." At this time, the middle-aged gentleman replied.

After the two were done, they nodded and smiled at each other.

When the two of them turned their heads to look at Zhao Zilong, but the other party just stared at him and didn't say anything.

Sachiko, who was lying on the bed, listened, but her eyes changed, and she didn't know what to think.

The middle-aged gentleman looked at Zhao Zilong and said, "This brother, as soon as you see you on the dock, you can see that you are a chivalrous and courageous person. How about coming to the old capital this time, what are your thoughts? ”

Zhao Zilong raised his eyebrows slightly, but replied: "I want to see Qin Huaihe, I don't know if it's what it looked like before?" ”

"It's different, it's different."

Lao Langzhong sighed and said, "From last year to this year, the devil killed people for six weeks. It is said that the Qinhuai River was filled with human corpses. ”

Hearing what the other party said, Zhao Zilong couldn't help but think of the tragic scene he saw after Nanjing was slaughtered, and he felt as if he was pressed by a big stone in his heart.

That tragic situation, that kind of grief, that kind of shame as a Chinese, can never be forgotten in a lifetime!

Seeing the old man and the middle-aged gentry exuding that kind of compassion but with a hint of determination, Zhao Zilong suddenly felt that these two people were not as simple as they seemed.

"Master! Master! ”

Suddenly, the young apprentice was screaming outside.

As the voice fell, the elementary school ran in like a disciple and exclaimed, "Master, it's not good, the devil has come to Egret Continent to fight the autumn wind again!" ”

"devil!" The middle-aged gentleman actually cursed, and then pulled out a pistol from his waist.

Zhao Zilong fixed his eyes and saw that it was a box cannon.

"Battalion Commander Wang, don't be impulsive. How many of them are there? The old man shook his head at the middle-aged gentry, and then asked the junior apprentice.

"About a dozen people, all with spears, came up from a dinghy." The young man immediately told the story.

"It's only a small team! I'm not afraid. ”

Lao Langzhong thought for a while and then ordered: "Camp Commander Wang, you take people to ambush, remember, strive for one pot and no one left." ”

"Okay." The middle-aged gentleman named Camp Commander Wang nodded, picked up his pistol and was about to walk out.

"Master, I'm going to kill devils too." The apprentice shouted.

"Where are you going? You haven't had a gun either. The old man glared and shouted.

The junior apprentice immediately lowered his head and grimaced.

"When you kill all the devils, you can help clean up the battlefield." Camp Commander Wang comforted, and the junior apprentices became happy.

"Battalion Commander Wang!" Zhao Zilong also took out a pistol and said, "Kill the devil and count me as one." ”

He took out the small pure gold Browning pistol that Li Zongren had given him.

When Battalion Commander Wang saw it, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise: "Good gun!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Zilong's eyes, which were a little different.

"It was sent by a chief." Zhao Zilong explained, and said: "Although this gun is good-looking, it is not as easy to use as the box cannon and the Wang Ba box." ”

"Hmm. It's still easy to hold this gun and hit it well. ”

Battalion Commander Wang raised the box cannon and said with a smile: "However, if my brother can get such a gun from the commander, it means that the commander's position is not low, and you must have the ability." ”

Zhao Zilong smiled, didn't speak, and walked out with everyone.

"Brother, in fact, since you got off the boat, I have seen that you are a man, a real man." Camp Commander Wang said as he walked.

The corners of Zhao Zilong's mouth twitched, and he smiled: "Now China, we need thousands of men like us. ”

"Yes." Camp Commander Wang nodded.

"You go first, I'll go back when I go." At this time, Zhao Zilong heard Sachiko's cry from the room, he thought about it and immediately turned around.

Camp Commander Wang and Lao Langzhong looked at Zhao Zilong's back in amazement, but they didn't say anything, just hurriedly ran forward.

"Sachiko, what's the matter?" Zhao Zilong ran to the bed, helped Sachiko who was trembling, and said, "You better follow me." ”

He was worried that if there was more than a small team of devils, he might not be able to come back if he fought. Because he promised Sachiko to send him to Shanghai, he had to do it for the sake of safety.

"Mr. Zhao!" Sachiko said in a choked voice, "If your compatriots find out who I am, they will definitely cut me with a thousand cut......s," she said, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"No, it won't."

Zhao Zilong shook his head and said: "You don't say what they don't know, and you are a kind person, even if they know, they won't be embarrassed." ”

It's just that when he said this, he was a little lacking in confidence. After all, in this special period, there is a common hatred.

Woohoo Woo ......

When Zhao Zilong helped Sachiko out, he heard several gunshots outside.
