Chapter 179 Arriving at the county seat of Teng County

Lao Dao don't look at the behavior witty, but he is a warm-hearted, can share his favorite things, to others, especially a greedy person, more need their own perseverance, I promised to give Lao Tao another bag of jerky, this time in the grassland, brought a lot of such jerky, because there are wolves on the grassland, wolves bite to death cattle and sheep, at that time reluctant to throw, made jerky, this jerky is smoked, so it is as convenient to eat as dry food, and anti-hunger, is the favorite of passers-by, Hari Chagai prepared a lot for us, Kept for us to eat on the way, and we didn't eat much along the way.

I took a bag of jerky from the horse and gave it to Lao Dao, Lao Dao was smiling at the time, happily there, if no one opened the bag to eat jerky, we walked all morning, rested on the spot, took out the jerky to eat, drank some water after eating, we continued to hurry, Lao Dao is still the same as in the morning, let's go first, I know the ability of this old way, very powerful, so we don't have to worry about him. When it was time to stay at the hotel in the afternoon, Lao Dao was already waiting for us in front. This magic technique is really good, but it's a pity that it is not a secret, I don't think the old Tao will teach me.

Nothing to say all night, we continued to rush the next day, after walking for a few days, we found that there were more and more refugees fleeing, these people were in rags, frozen to death on the side of the road and starved to death countless, the scene was miserable, it was sad to look at, we bought food with the money on our bodies, and gave it to these refugees who fled, helplessly, as the saying goes, can be a peace dog, not to be a troubled person, people are indeed too bitter in this life, especially in troubled times, it is a wide water duckweed, can not control their own destiny.

Because there are refugees along the way, the trip was delayed, when we arrived in Shandong, it was almost February, we inquired about this day, and heard that the front had been occupied by devils and could not go, as long as we went south, ready to take the mountain road back from Teng County. When I inquired about the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army, the commander of which was General Wang Mingzhang, and the people who fled on the road gave a thumbs up when they mentioned General Wang Mingzhang, saying that General Wang Mingzhang was strict in governing the army, and the morale of the Sichuan Army was high. After listening to this, we also admired General Wang Mingzhang very much.

Closer and closer to the county seat, we found that there were a lot of people, carrying burdens, pushing wheelbarrows, we asked these people what they were doing, they replied to go to Teng County, condolences to the warriors who defended the city in the War of Resistance, we followed these people, to the county seat of Teng County, to the county seat to see, this army is a bit miserable, worse than the bandits are worn, the clothes on the body are thin, wearing the black jackets worn by the countrymen, some of them are still wearing bloomers and straw sandals, shivering in the cold wind.

But although those people are cold, but their eyes, very vigilant looking at the people, we led the horse to the city gate, suddenly those soldiers with guns, all of a sudden surrounded, Cui Yujuan behind us Their faces changed greatly, involuntarily pressed their hands on the gun, I looked at these soldiers, one by one fiercely stared at us, the people around were frightened and ran away, I hurriedly said with a smile: "Boss, boss, it must be a misunderstanding, misunderstanding, we are good people." ”

At this time, an official came over, this official was holding a box gun in his hand, wearing thin clothes, and a pair of straw sandals on his feet, walked to our side, and said: "Ge Laozi, what is the misunderstanding, you are all melons and eyebrows, you are bandits at first glance, and you don't look at what kind of place we are, you dare to come and arrest us." ”

Speaking of this, those soldiers surrounded us at once, and then Cui Yujuan said loudly: "Slow, you can't arrest us, it's true that we are bandits, but we are fighting devils." ”

The official said: "Ge Laozi, bandits are bandits, and Commander Wang has an order that anyone who enters the city to plot misdeeds and disturb the morale of the army will be shot." Catch it and give it to the chief for questioning. ”

After saying this, the soldiers came up again, took our guns down, led the horses, and looked at the things on the horses, and we protested loudly, when a man on horseback happened to pass by, and this man was a dignified man, with a golden star on his collar badge, and came to us and asked what was the matter, and the official reported that we were bandits. And Cui Yujuan and An Ran said loudly there that although they were bandits, they killed all devils. The man on the horse pondered for a moment, and then said: "Whether it is a bandit or something, as long as it is a devil killer, it is our friend, but you say that you kill devils, and you came from the north, look at the clothes on your body, there is no smoke and dust, what evidence is there to prove that you killed devils." ”

An Ran shook off the soldier at once, and said, "Don't you want evidence?" I'm here to find evidence for you. ”

After saying that, he walked to the horse, took out a bag, and poured out the contents of the bag, which were all epaulettes and the like, and many of them were stained with blood. After An Ran poured it out, he said contemptuously: "These things are all taken from those Japanese devils, and this is the evidence that we killed devils." ”

Master Wang Mingzhang looked at it, he was stunned at first, and then asked people to let us go, he turned over the saddle and dismounted, and arched his hand and said: "Disrespect and disrespect, my Wang Mou respects the person who kills devils the most, can kill devils, protect the family and defend the country, no matter who it is, they are all heroes." Since the 918 Incident, the Northeast has fallen, and it is the most difficult place, and Wang really admires being able to kill devils there. I don't know what you're doing in Teng County today? ”

Cui Yujuan said: "We were going to go home to you, but now we want to follow the chief to fight devils." ”

Division Commander Wang Mingzhang said: "Killing devils does need people now, but now Teng County is a dead city, and the chairman of the committee has ordered to defend it. Our Sichuan army regards death as home, and has no intention of going back alive, so we will not let you be sent to death, and the fight devils will be long, if I am lucky enough to survive this battle, you will definitely be welcome to join the team to fight devils. ”

Cui Yujuan said a lot, but Master Wang just disagreed, and then I said: "Master Wang, women can't do it, we can do it, we have to follow you to fight devils." ”

After I said this, I looked at Mao Qinglian, Mao Qinglian's eyes were very complicated, I saw her resentful eyes, quickly lowered her head, then raised her head, and said to Qinglian: "Qinglian, don't blame me, now the national disaster is at the head, the mountains and rivers are broken, not when I want to have children's love, others can throw their heads and spill blood, thousands of miles to see the anti-Japanese, what reason do I have, not to stand up to defend the country, if the country is gone, then there will be no home." ”

Mao Qinglian didn't speak, and told me with his eyes that he supported my decision. Wang Mingzhang said: "Well, if everyone is like you, our country will not perish." ”

As he was saying this, suddenly a figure flickered, and Lao Dao came to us, and as soon as he came to us, he said: "Fortunately, it's not too late, Lao Dao I'm here, and I'll fight a devil with you." ”

I said, "Dao Chief, this is a war, what are you doing here?" ”

Lao Dao said: "Alas, I came to collect the corpses for you or something, I see that you are all people who are about to die, and when you die, there is not even a person who is excessive, how pitiful, I am old and kind-hearted, I can't bear it, so I rushed here." ”

At this time, a Sichuan officer pointed to Lao Dao and said: "You are an immortal, the old Bazi dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, and your family is all dead, and it can't come to us." ”

Lao Dao said: "Yes, yes, everyone in my family is almost dead, and now I am waiting for you to surpass you." ”

When the Sichuan officer heard this, he was furious and said, "You old man, you are embarrassed, Ge Laozi must teach you a lesson today." ”

After speaking, he raised the gun and was about to smash it, at this time Wang Mingzhang said: "Stop, this Taoist is right, the general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years, as soldiers, we will sacrifice our lives for the country at any time, the horse leather shroud is very normal, and the Taoist chief is also kind, knowing that after we die, we will become lonely ghosts and wild ghosts, and thousands of mountains and rivers can not find home, so I have come to overtake us, I thank the Taoist chief." Company Commander Zhang, these three people are following you, you have to protect the three of them for me, and when the battle is over, if the three of them are injured, you will come to me with your head. ”

At this time, the officer who checked us saluted and said: "Don't worry, the division commander is here to herd the cattle, and they will be there, and if there is a mistake at that time, the division commander will use my brain melon seeds as a night pot." ”

Wang Mingzhang said "good", then got on the horse, and went to the city, after Wang Mingzhang left, Zhang Fangniu walked to us and said: "Ge Laozi, in the future, my little life, in the hands of a few of you melon babies, you listen to me, when fighting, follow behind Lao Tzu, the bullet has no eyes, know it?" ”

Zhang Fangniu's Sichuan dialect is very strong, and we have to listen carefully to hear it clearly.
