After leaving the small courtyard of the district party committee, Liu Tianshu walked on the road covered with snow and came to the Wang family compound in the east of the village.

The soldier standing at the gate of the courtyard saw Liu Tianshu coming, raised his hand and saluted, and after Liu Tianshu returned the salute, he strode into the courtyard.

Passing through the empty dam in the front yard, as soon as I walked to the courtyard on the left, I heard a burst of painful groans inside, and then I saw that under the eaves of the courtyard, there were many soldiers lying in gauze, and several medical staff in white coats could be seen busy.

Tian Xiaoling was feeding a soldier to drink water at the time, and when she saw Liu Tianshu coming in, she took back the bowl that had finished drinking water, smiled shyly on her face, and said in a low voice: "Brother Liu, are you here?" ”

"Xiaoling, are you still used to it here?" After recognizing that the girl in front of him was Tian Xiaoling, Liu Tianshu asked with concern.

"Habit, comrades are very good to me and Yafang." Xiaoling whispered.

"That's good, you're busy, I'll go in and have a look." Liu Tianshu nodded, walked into the house, and saw Doctor Tian whispering something to a crying warrior.

Liu Tianshu saw more than a dozen wounded people lying in the room, and although many of the wounded were able to endure the pain, they still couldn't help moaning.

After comforting the soldier, Dr. Tian raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and when he turned around, he saw Liu Tianshu standing by the door, and a trace of joy flashed on his unsmiling face.

"Chief of Staff, why are you here?" Doctor Tian asked a little strangely.

Since the establishment of the independent brigade, although Liu Tianshu is nominally the chief of staff, he has heard that he has assisted the work of the district committee.

"Doctor Tian, how are the soldiers?" Liu Tianshu did not answer Dr. Tian's words, but asked with concern.

"Let's go, let's talk as we go." Dr. Tian called a nurse, and after a few words, he walked Liu Tianshu into a room on the side.

"Chief of Staff. More than 20 wounded people were sent to the clinic at once, including five seriously wounded, but our medicine had run out and we couldn't operate on those five seriously injured at all. It is impossible to take medicine at all. Dr. Tian's face was full of worry.

"Have you reported this to Captain Luo?" Hearing that there was no medicine in the health center, Liu Tianshu couldn't help but feel nervous.

The first-aid kits captured in the previous battles, as well as the medicines seized from the Pingle stronghold, were all sent to the health center, but how could this medicine meet the needs?

In particular, the company had just experienced a fierce battle, and the number of wounded in the clinic had increased all of a sudden, which made Dr. Tian even more helpless.

"It's reported, but Captain Luo can't do anything." Doctor Tian said with a sigh.

After the heavy snowfall, the devils guarded Qingyan Town more strictly. It can be said that the people in the base area are now unable to enter Qingyan Town at all. And on the Yuling side, I heard that there is also a very short supply of medicines.

"Thank you for your hard work, in this case, I'll go back to the team headquarters to have a look." Liu Tianshu felt heavy, patted Dr. Tian on the shoulder, stood up and walked to the brigade headquarters located not far behind the Wang family's compound.

Seeing Liu Tianshu coming in, Captain Luo Zhengkuan, who was smoking with Deputy Captain Xiao Yongjie while studying the map. Asked a little strangely, "Koyanagi, why did you come back?" ”

Hear this. Liu Tianshu was a little unhappy in his heart, he was also the chief of staff of the independent brigade, although he was now temporarily over to support because of something on the side of the district committee, but his own work was still here.

"Two leaders, I just went to the health center of the Wang family compound to have a look. I heard Dr. Tian say that the medicine in the health center is almost running out, and many wounded people are in urgent need of medicine. Liu Tianshu said straight to the point.

Although it seems that Captain Luo does not welcome his arrival, he feels that the matter of medicine is solved. It should be the most urgent thing at the moment, and if you don't care about it, that is your own dereliction of duty.

"That's it." Captain Luo pondered, "I have sent someone to report to the detachment leader to see if the detachment can solve it a little." ”

Before Captain Luo and Deputy Captain Xiao came, Liu Tianshu led the guerrillas to seize a low-power radio station of the devil, but unfortunately there was no one in the army who knew how to speak radio, and the radio station was later handed in.

The detachment is stationed in Yuling, 60 miles away from here, after the heavy snow covers the mountain, the road is very difficult to walk, and according to Liu Tianshu's speculation, the detachment is probably also short of medical treatment.

"Captain Luo, I think if this is the case, I'll take a few people to the county seat to see if I can get some back." Thinking of the soldiers of the health team who were waiting for medicine to treat their injuries, Liu Tianshu felt heavy in his heart, looked at the two and said.

"Go into the county town to get medicine?" Captain Luo and Deputy Captain Xiao glanced at each other, and then Captain Luo pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, it's hard for you to go to the county seat, but I heard that the devils are very tightly guarded, so don't break in." ”

Wuyang County is sixty kilometers away from Houshan Village, since Liu Tianshu wants to go into the city to try, let him go, if he can really get the medicine back, it can also prevent those wounded from being disabled or sacrificed due to lack of medical treatment.

After Tang Qing heard that Liu Tianshu was going to take Shi Qiang and Hao Mengxuan to Wuyang County, he sat behind the table and thought about it and said: "Tianshu, the shopkeeper of the Linglong antique shop in Wuyang County is our person, you take this, he will know it at a glance." ”

As he spoke, Tang Qing took out an ancient jade with a somewhat strange shape from the drawer and handed it to Liu Tianshu, along with five pieces of ocean.

"Okay, I'll go find them if necessary." After Liu Tianshu put away the ancient jade, he nodded to Tang Qing, walked back to his residence, changed clothes with Shi Qiang, Hao Mengxuan, and Geng Tianlong, and the four of them braved the wind and snow and rushed to Wuyang County.

Although the mountain was covered by heavy snow, the four of them finally turned to the road leading to Shiquan Town after walking northeast from Houshan Village for four hours.

This time when they entered the city, for the sake of safety on the road, the four of them still brought short guns, and at this time they walked on the avenue, Liu Tianshu made a careful gesture. Then Shi Qiang was in front, Hao Mengxuan was behind, Liu Tianshu and Geng Tianlong walked in the middle, and slowly mixed with a few villagers who rushed to Shiquan Town in a hurry.

When they arrived outside Shiquan Town, it was already dark, and Geng Tianlong led a few people around Shiquan Town into a small village and settled in a family.

This is Geng Tianlong's uncle's house, and before the devil arrived, the two families still had to deal with each other several times a year.

Hearing the knock on the door, the man opened the door and saw that it was Geng Tianlong, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Tianlong, why are you here, where have you been during this time?" ”

"Uncle, after the accident at home, I left home, and now I am doing some small business with a few friends, this is my friend, we are going to go to the county to do some business, and I want to stay with you for the night tonight." Geng Tianlong looked at his uncle and said with some sadness.

When he saw his uncle, he remembered his parents who died tragically, and the hatred for the devil in his heart increased a little.

"You child, look at what you said, when you arrive at your uncle's house, what is the difference between going to your own house? Let your friends come in and sit down. A woman in her fifties came out when she heard the sound and saw that it was Geng Tianlong coming, and immediately said happily.

"Thank you, uncle." After Liu Tianshu and the others expressed their gratitude to Geng Tianlong's uncle, they followed into the house.

The next morning, the four of them bid farewell to Geng Tianlong's uncle's family and continued to rush to the county seat.

Fortunately, the sky was clear at this time, and there were white clouds floating in the blue sky, and two unknown birds stood on the branches, and after chirping for a while, they suddenly flapped their wings and flew away, causing the snow on the branches to fall incessantly, adding a little vitality to the empty world.

The four of them walked on the road for a while and came across a grain transport team from Shiquan Town to the county seat. Liu Tianshu saw a carriage carrying grain stuck in the snow, and although the horse was pulling hard under the owner's shouting, the wheel was motionless.

Seeing this, several escorts came to help push the cart, but the cart only moved, but it still did not move.

Liu Tianshu rolled his eyes, waved his hand, and when the first few people came over, he ran over and put his hand on the carriage, shouting one, two, three, and then everyone pushed hard, and the carriage finally came out of the mud pit under the fierce push of everyone.

A middle-aged man with a sweat towel around his neck grabbed a sweat towel and wiped the sweat on his forehead, looked at Liu Tianshu and said gratefully, "Brothers, thank you." ”

"You're welcome, it's a gesture." Liu Tianshu said with a smile, a pure local accent of Wuyang.

The middle-aged man smiled, looked at Liu Tianshu and said, "This little brother, are you a local?" ”

"A few of us are from Qingyan Town, during this period of heavy snow closed the mountain, and there is nothing to do at home, I heard that the county is easy to find work to do, and a few of us want to save some money to buy some New Year's goods to go home." Liu Tianshu had already thought of an excuse.

"You are also going to the county seat, we just happened to go to the county seat to deliver food, or let's go all the way." The middle-aged man heard that Liu Tianshu and the others were going to the county seat to find work, and immediately invited them to go with them.

His words hit Liu Tianshu's heart, and he hurriedly said: "This uncle, I heard that the Imperial Association army guarding the county seat is very fierce, I wonder if they will not allow us to enter the city?" ”

When the middle-aged man heard Liu Tianshu's words, he couldn't help but smile proudly.

"Little brother, you just have to rest assured, we were sent by Old Lady Ma to deliver food, and those Imperial Cooperative Army, no matter how bold they are, they will not dare to stop us." Speaking of this, the middle-aged man lowered his voice and said, "You don't know, the relationship between Old Lady Ma and Captain Sakata of the gendarmerie is not ordinary. ”

"I see, there is Uncle Lao." Liu Tianshu pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and said with the middle-aged man.

Along the way, the middle-aged man and Liu Tianshu seemed to have become friends who had known each other for a long time, and in a blink of an eye, the convoy arrived in front of Wuyang City.

The officers of the Imperial Association Army guarding outside the southern city gate saw a convoy coming from a distance and immediately greeted them with several Imperial Assistance troops.

"Stop, what are you doing?" The officer waved his hand and shouted.

The middle-aged man greeted him when he heard the voice, looked at the officer and said with a smile: "Company Commander Han, it's your turn to be on duty again today." (To be continued.) )
