Chapter Twenty-Four: The Lady Goes Out
After breakfast, Sun Jinren was walking towards the newly opened wasteland in the west of the village with his hoe on his shoulder, when he felt like an earthquake under his feet, and before he could run back to the village, dozens of tall horses had already poured into the village where the guerrillas were located. The guerrillas who had rushed to hear the news subconsciously raised their guns in the face of the horse team that had already rushed into the village, but they had not yet fired, because the people on horseback seemed to be dressed in the same way as those stationed in the county seat.
The style of the military uniform is the same, except that the people on horseback wear black uniforms, and they also wear the same German-style steel helmets as the national army, and their faces are also covered by a pair of black visors, these people look like unsheathed blades. "Captain Sun, we haven't seen each other for a few days, why did we get to this point? If I'm not mistaken, these guns in your hands are still the ones we gave you last time" The man in black led by him took off the mask on his face, and Sun Jinren breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be an old acquaintance Zhang Dongkui.
"Which one are you doing here?" Sun Jinren waved his hand and asked the guerrillas to collect their guns, and he was very curious to take Zhang Dongkui's visor and look at it, and then looked at the weapon on Zhang Dongkui's body. The three of them didn't get so close, standing in front of a courtyard from a distance and looking at the other people in armor who were still sitting on horseback, Zhang Dongkui was the only one who took off his armor, and those who came with him sat on the back of the horse without saying a word, but the submachine gun hanging diagonally on his chest was pointed at Sun Jinren and those guerrillas intentionally or unintentionally.
This group of people looks more powerful than those in the county, Macheng is also an old Eighth Road, they survived with the Japanese army with bayonets, and the murderous aura of those people on horseback is even more than Zhang Dongkui. Look at their fingers on the trigger of the submachine gun, the muzzle of the gun has already aimed at everyone present, as long as Sun Jinren has a change on his side, the mask man on horseback will definitely fire first, and when the time comes, none of them will survive unless they can outrun the bullet.
"Captain Sun, this is your loneliness, this is the normal dress of our thunder" Zhang Dongkui took back his face armor and put it into the bag around his waist, stretched out his arm and hugged Sun Jinren, and the heads of the two of them came together and whispered, "I came with a doctor this time to check Instructor Zhang's wound, your guerrillas lack medical treatment, if the wound becomes inflamed and suppurated, it will die."
"I'm not going, you can send someone to take our two female military doctors there" Zhang Dongkui casually turned his head and pointed, and the two black horses in the horse team walked out on tapping, looking at the figures of the two people on horseback, both of them were indeed women. Holding Sun Jinren's shoulder, Zhang Dongkui laughed and said, "I said Captain Sun, the relationship between our two families has always been very good, why do you see that our military doctor's eyes are like guarding against thieves, don't you think that we will send two women to rob your Instructor Zhang?" ”
Sun Jinren, who was told by Zhang Dongkui, blushed slightly, and was a little embarrassed to send a guerrilla to Zhang Lan's residence with the two military doctors, while he himself accompanied Zhang Dongkui and them around. Zhang Dongkui brought people to Luoyan Mountain to fight under the banner of examining Zhang Lan's wounds, even if they felt a little strange in Macheng, they couldn't find a reason to oppose it, after all, this is still the territory of the guerrillas, and Zhang Lan is still the instructor of the guerrillas.
The two female military doctors sent by Zhang Dongkui did not dismount, but rode their horses and followed the guerrillas who led the way through the village, where dozens of families still lived. "Okay, you can go back" The short woman who jumped off the horse spoke, but her accent was a little strange, and when she saw the guerrilla who led the way standing still, the woman was a little anxious, "We will examine the woman's wound later, do you want to see it too?" ”
The village women present laughed and drove the guerrillas out of the courtyard, and after the short female soldier gave the children a circle of sweets, the village women who came to see the excitement also took their children away, and only Zhang Lan who was lying on a chaise longue, the short female soldier standing on the ground, and the female soldier who was still sitting on horseback were left in the courtyard. "Zhang Dongkui is right, although you are not very beautiful, but you are indeed quite attractive, no wonder Tang Lei will take a fancy to you" The female soldier sitting on horseback jumped down, and the first sentence made Zhang Lan, who pretended to be calm, almost faint.
"My name is Rowling, that is, Zhang Dongkui's wife" walked all the way to Zhang Lan, Rowling took off the mask on her face and the steel helmet on her head, and the long golden hair and green eyes scattered like a waterfall made Zhang Lan almost unable to take her eyes off. "Do you want to say why I'm a foreigner and I still speak Chinese so well?" Rowling took out a rubber band to tie her scattered hair, and looked at Zhang Lan with a smile.
"Ah, I'm just curious" Zhang Lan, who was said by Rowling, was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly got up and beckoned Rowling and them into the house to sit. Rowling's appearance made Zhang Lan suddenly appear in her mind for no reason, she knew that this foreign woman came to Luoyan Mountain, it was very likely that she came for Tang Lei and herself.
"You don't have to be busy, I came to see you today, she is the captain of my female escort team, Na Li, and she is also a good military doctor, let her check the wounds on your body in a while, if something happens to you, I think Tang Lei may die in a hurry" Seeing that Zhang Lan was about to pour water for herself and Lina, Luo Lin waved her hand again and again. Her first impression of this female instructor of the Eighth Route Army was still very good, Zhang Dongkui didn't know how long it could be delayed, and it was important to do business first.
"Tang Lei's state is not very good" Rowling once again came out with a sentence that made Zhang Lan collapse several times, Zhang Lanxin said that she and Tang Lei really have nothing, why should everyone associate themselves with Tang Lei. "Tang Lei has already applied to go to the forward army, if you go back to the county today, you may still be able to meet Tang Lei, after today, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to meet again" Rowling deliberately sighed and turned her head to look out the window, but Lina, who pretended to be busy, carefully watched Zhang Lan's reaction.
Rowling and Lina came for a purpose, Zhang Lan would be their opponent, when Rowling said that Tang Lei had asked for the forward troops, although Zhang Lan said that she had covered it up well, the corners of her eyes still trembled slightly, and her hands were tangled together so that the bones were blue and white. When Rowling turned her head again, Lina, who was standing beside Zhang Lan, gave her a look, Rowling smiled knowingly, it seems that this woman is not without Tang Lei at all, at least she knows that she is worried about Tang Lei, it seems that there is a way to do this.
"Long story short, we are here for you today, I brought 200 guards, your village has been surrounded by my people, as long as you want, I will take you back to the county seat to see Tang Lei now" Rowling didn't want to waste time any longer, and directly let Zhang Lan make a choice, but if it didn't work, she would come hard, and directly tied Zhang Lan and took her back to finish the matter.
"Mrs. Rowling, I thank you very much for your concern, but the relationship between me and Tang Lei is not what you think, besides, I am still a *** member, an instructor of the Luoyan Mountain guerrillas, you are very unfair to me in doing this, at least you didn't ask me at all, am I right?"
"Oh, I'm getting more and more interested in you now," Zhang Lan's words surprised Rowling, who did not expect to hear such a statement in China, and among many young people in the United States, there are not many people who think like this. "I've sent you another telegram to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, but they haven't replied to me yet, I think they will definitely respect your own opinions, after all, you joined them only to realize your ideals and prove your worth, not to sell yourself to them"
"You listen to me," Rowling stopped Zhang Lan from wanting to refute the thought, and continued, "So what do you think we are doing in Shanxi?" It's not as fun as the United States, and it's not even as comfortable as Myanmar, my husband Zhao Zhi is Chinese like you, and it is his wish to drive the Japanese out of China, isn't it the same ideal for you to join ***? Then why can't you marry Tang Lei and join us, aren't they all the same fighting the Japanese?"
"Most of our army are Jews, and they were all rescued by my husband from the Germans, so those Jews are willing to help us fight the Japanese, and you have seen our military discipline, I think it should be no worse than your *** troops. Those locals in the county, although we can't give them equality, but we give them respect, we will not let out Zhangwu County again, so I hope you can help us, we need a person like you who is engaged in political work to sit in the county."
Since Zhang Lan flatly denied that she and Tang Lei did not have the kind of relationship that everyone thought, Rowling had to temporarily change her mind and find a way to trick Zhang Lan into going to the county seat first, as long as Zhang Lan arrived in the county, other things would be easy to do, Rowling believed in the old saying that love is born for a long time. When I first met Zhao Zhi, didn't that stinky guy still look at himself unpleasantly, if he hadn't pestered him to go to Shanxi with him, maybe Zhao Zhi would have held another woman in his arms.
"You should think about my suggestion" After Lina examined Zhang Lan's wounds, Rowling was about to leave, "I see that there are some problems in this place where you live, isn't it that you are under house arrest" Rowling glanced at Zhang Lan intentionally or unintentionally when she spoke. After following Zhao Zhi for a long time, Rowling also knows a little bit about the arrangement of troops, the place where Zhang Lan lives is obviously not with the guerrilla barracks, just imagine how a wounded guerrilla instructor can live alone in such a far place from the guerrilla barracks, the only explanation is that Zhang Lan was isolated, and at best it is house arrest.
