Chapter 22: Turning the Eye
Zhang Lan ate well and slept well in Zhangwu County, but Sun Jinren, who drove back to Yanshan, was not fragrant with tea and rice, and had sent three groups of people to the county seat to pick up Zhang Lan back to the mountain, but none of them came back, even if the stone was thrown into the river, there would be a sound, but the three groups of people he sent to the county seat were mud cows into the sea and did not move. If it is said that it was captured by the Japanese soldiers, it is unlikely, since Zhangwu County was taken down by the people surnamed Tang, those foreign soldiers have searched the surrounding area many times, and the remaining Japanese puppet army in this area has long been buried in the soil by them.
"Captain, there are three people from outside the mountain, saying that they are sent by the superiors to find our instructor" The guerrilla sent by Sun Jinren to guard the mountain pass ran back with a piece of paper. Sun Jinren is a literate person, and when he opened the piece of paper, he saw that it was really an urgent letter from his superiors, and there was also the seal of the prefectural committee on it. The three people that the little bolt said were brought in, and they all rubbed into the village with their thighs and big figures, Sun Jinren didn't dare to laugh if he wanted to laugh, and this shape looked like it was caused by these three people who had been riding horses for a long time.
"Captain Sun, we want to see your instructor Zhang Lan, I have instructions from my superiors to convey to her" After the leading man poured two large bowls of water in one breath, he relieved himself and hurriedly asked to see Zhang Lan.
"Neither busy, not busy, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll arrange for someone to make you some food first, and then I'll say, "The guerrillas have been operating in the enemy-occupied areas for a long time, so when you see someone sent by your superiors, there are three of them, and Sun Jinren still wants to inquire with them about the current situation in the base area, and Sun Jinren and the families of several old guerrillas are all living in the base area."
"No, we have to see Instructor Zhang Lan immediately, this matter is very urgent, we can't wait" wiped the water stains on the corner of his mouth, and the leading man insisted on seeing Zhang Lan immediately. This made it difficult for Sun Jinren, Zhang Lan is still in Zhangwu County, and the three waves of people he sent to pick up Zhang Lan back to the mountain have not heard from him, so he will immediately call Zhang Lan out, and he can't do it at all.
"Zhang Lan is not in Luoyan Mountain now, she was injured, and now she is recuperating in Zhangwu County" Sun Jinren had to tell the truth, anyway, the Thunder Defense also had dealings with the headquarters, and Zhang Lan only stayed in the county to recuperate, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
"How far is the county seat from Luoyan Mountain? Is it safe in the county? The man came up with a series of questions, so he almost asked Sun Jinren to take them to the county seat to find Zhang Lan immediately. Sun Jinren didn't expect these three people to see Zhang Lan in such a hurry, even if the superiors had some urgent instructions to hand over to Zhang Lan, Zhang Lan was not there, couldn't he, the guerrilla leader, still receive instructions from his superiors?
Xu saw Sun Jinren's question, and the leading man smiled, "Captain Sun, don't misunderstand, what the superiors asked me to convey to Comrade Zhang Lan is a private matter, and this matter must be after seeing Comrade Zhang Lan, I can say, you should send someone to take us to the county seat immediately, this matter can't be delayed" As they spoke, the three of them stood up and saw that the posture was about to go to Zhangwu County.
Since the other party had already said that it was just a private matter, Sun Jinren was not good at asking in detail, so he had to order his subordinates to take care of the station, and he personally took these three people to Zhangwu County, and just to see what was going on with the three waves of people sent. When Sun Jinren, who was riding a horse and galloping all the way, arrived at the city gate, they happened to meet Zhang Dongkui who had just returned from Qinglongping, "Captain Sun, why do you have time to come to the county seat today" Zhang Dongkui handed the reins to the Jewish soldiers guarding the city gate, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it to Sun Jinren The big smoking gun. The three groups of people who came from Luoyan Mountain were ordered by Zhang Dongkui to be placed under house arrest, Zhang Dongkui could guess with his heels that Sun Jinren's trip was for Zhang Lan and the three groups of guerrillas.
Zhang Dongkui's guess was good, he took the initiative to lower his posture, so that Sun Jinren's previous rhetoric was not easy to speak for a while, but he just dryly introduced Zhang Dongkui to the three people who came with him. "Captain Zhang, these three comrades were sent by our superiors, and they have urgent instructions to convey to Instructor Zhang Lan" Sun Jinren's introduction made Zhang Dongkui pause, he originally thought that the three grizzled guys were the guerrillas brought by Sun Jinren, but now it seems that he has thought about it, and they are the ministers sent from above.
"Oh, disrespectful, disrespectful, contemptible Zhang Dongkui, this Zhangwu County is now ours stationed" Zhang Dongkui also played Sven and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to the three of them. The three people who were looking at the Jewish soldiers at the gate of the city came to their senses and looked at Zhang Dongkui, Zhang Dongkui with a smile on his face was too ordinary, coupled with his deliberate cover-up, the three people who didn't know it thought that Zhang Dongkui was a very good person to deal with, and only Sun Jinren, who was standing next to him, knew that Zhang Dongkui was actually a smiling tiger.
"I am Ma Cheng, these two boys belong to me, the tall one is called Xu Song, and the short one is called Wang Dong, and we have instructions from our superiors to convey to Comrade Zhang Lan. Captain Sun said that Instructor Zhang Lan has been recuperating in the county during this time, and the doctors and medicines are provided by you, thank you so much" Ma Cheng was the only one among the three of them who knew about Zhao Zhi's courtship for his subordinates. After learning that Zhang Lan had been in Zhangwu County during this time, Ma Cheng, a political cadre, had already thought of a countermeasure, no matter what the other party's attitude was, he must treat it calmly, and everything would be planned after seeing Zhang Lan.
Since Ma Cheng came on behalf of the guerrillas, Zhang Dongkui naturally had no excuse to stop them from meeting Zhang Lan, if this delayed the normal affairs of the guerrillas, wouldn't it make Tang Lei's matter worse? So Zhang Dongkui just exchanged a few words with them, and then took Ma Cheng and Sun Jinren into the city and went straight to the barracks in the west of the city. Macheng has been looking left and right since they entered the city, the situation in the county town is much better than they imagined, except for the foreign soldiers who appear on the streets from time to time, the county town is completely a pre-war scene.
"Captain Sun, why are you here? Is there something going on in the mountains? Sun Jinren and they followed Zhang Dongkui into the barracks and went directly to Tang Lei's headquarters, Zhang Lan, who was tired, was dozing off in the Taishi chair in the headquarters, and Tang Lei was arguing with Adam on a map, but their arguments were very small, so small that as soon as Sun Jinren and they came in, Zhang Lan was woken up by their footsteps.
"Wake up, let's take the medicine first" Seeing that Zhang Lan woke up, Tang Lei naturally handed a few pills to Zhang Lan, "Don't move, I'll drink it myself" Zhang Lan put the pills in her mouth, reached out to grab the water cup, but was dusted open by Tang Lei, in front of everyone, where would Zhang Lan be embarrassed to let Tang Lei feed her water, rolled Tang Lei's eyes, Zhang Lan grabbed the water cup and drank the water in small sips. This kind of interaction between Tang Lei and Zhang Lan, Zhang Dongkui and Adam have long been surprised, but Sun Jinren and Ma Cheng's eyes are about to fall out.
In fact, the relationship between Zhang Lan and Tang Lei is not what Sun Jinren and they saw, Zhang Lan had to go to Qinglongping to see the airport three days ago, Tang Lei couldn't help her, so he took her there, but after this tossing and turning, Zhang Lan's wound that had just grown was cracked again. After returning to the barracks, Zhang Lan, who knew that she was at a loss, concentrated on being a fragile item according to Tang Lei's requirements, except for eating, wiping her body, changing clothes, and going to the toilet, all other things were all done by a few servants found by Tang Lei to help her. Tang Lei reminded Zhang Lan to take medicine, which was a very common thing, but in Ma Cheng's opinion, it was no less than a landslide.
Why did the superiors rush to order themselves to come to Luoyan Mountain, wasn't it just for the men and women in front of them? But they all get along like this, looking at the harmony between them and the other party's peace of mind, it seems that their trip may be in vain. "Instructor Zhang, I am conveying instructions to you on behalf of my superiors, can we say in private" Ma Cheng still has to make a final effort, he needs to listen to Zhang Lan himself.
"What? How is this possible, there is nothing between me and Tang Lei at all" Zhang Lan, who took Ma Cheng to the backyard, couldn't help but call out as soon as she heard Ma Cheng say something, how could the superiors think that she and Tang Lei would have that kind of relationship? "Battalion Commander Ma, I am a party member, I know what I should do and what I shouldn't do, I'll go back to your superiors and make it clear, I don't want to be misunderstood like this" Zhang Lan was also anxious, and immediately began to pack up her things, and followed Sun Jinren back to Yanshan.
"What's going on? Why did you suddenly say you were leaving, didn't your injury get better yet? Zhang Dongkui, who rushed to hear the news, naturally would not let Zhang Lan leave, if he let Zhang Lan go, his lifelong happiness would be ruined.
"Tang Lei, you came just in time, in front of everyone, let's make it clear, when did I say I was going to marry you? If you don't make it clear to me today, we won't be finished" Zhang Lan's flushed face from anger looked like a red apple that had just been picked from the tree, but the temper of this apple was obviously not very good, "Tang Lei, I originally thought you were a man who stood up to the sky, but I didn't expect your head to be full of filth, what is the difference between you and those Kuomintang, I misjudged you"
Zhang Lan's snatching made Tang Lei, who rushed to the scene after hearing the news, speechless, he wanted to explain, but seeing that Zhang Lan's wound that had burst again because of anger began to bleed again, Tang Lei dared to open his mouth a few times, but he didn't say a word. Tang Lei didn't speak, but Zhang Dongkui, who was standing beside her, was in a hurry, if this nerd didn't open his mouth again, I was afraid that this matter would be yellow.
