People are always familiar with their hometown, and when they return to their hometown, they have a sense of intimacy and security.

When they returned to Jiangxi, they could be regarded as returning to their hometown.

The radio station received a strange signal again, and after Gong Qingzhen translated it according to the Morse code, the message read: "The crossing door is nearby, hurry up and pass through." ”

Gong Qingzhen asked Elder Wei, "What does this mean?" ”

He shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, and Gong Qingzhen said, "We have to contact the organization as soon as possible, otherwise we will run around like headless flies." ”

But the battery of this radio station ran out quickly, and Gong Qingzhen did not find any news of the large army, so he had to go into the city to investigate.

The next day they had breakfast, and they set out at dawn.

At noon, they rushed to Pingxiang County, but a large number of onlookers gathered at the gate of the city, Xiao An looked towards the city, and was about to cry, Xiao Xu hurriedly covered his mouth.

Elder Wei also looked towards the head of the city, and saw the heads of Captain Cui, Sun Deqiang and Pang Hutou, Gong Qingzhen choked and said: "I didn't expect them to still fail to escape the enemy's pursuit!" ”

"Shall we go into the city, then?" Xiao Xu was also a little choked.

Elder Wei replied sadly: "No need, let's buy some daily necessities outside the city, and then find an inn to live in first!" ”

Outside the city because of the convenient transportation, so there are many inns, they asked for three rooms in an inn to live, the elder Wei said to his companions: "If you want to go out to buy items, you must be accompanied by two people, leaving two people to guard the goods and babies, do not act alone, including the thatched house!" ”

Ye Shuyang stuck out his tongue when he heard this.

The shopkeeper brought hot water to them, and Ye Shuyang hurriedly took off his shoes and socks and began to burn his feet, and complained: "In the past two days, my feet have blistered. ”

Elder Wei leaned over to take a look, but Ye Shuyang was shy.

Ye Shuyang's soles really grinded out blisters, and Gong Qingzhen said: "You have to quickly pick up the blisters, and then soak them in hot water!" ”

Xiao Xu pulled out the sewing needle, and Ye Shuyang hurriedly said: "Don't, I don't want to burst this blister!" ”

Elder Wei said to Xiao Xu: "Borrow your syringe and use it!" ”

Xiao Xu looked puzzled, but still took out the syringe, and the elder Wei pulled out the needle, and was about to prick at the blisters on the soles of Ye Shuyang's feet, so frightened that she hurriedly withdrew her feet and asked, "What are you going to do?" Go away! ”

Xiao Xu next to him also exclaimed: "Da Lao Wei, you actually pricked her foot with my syringe, how can you let me inject everyone in the future?" ”

Elder Wei grabbed Ye Shuyang's left ankle and asked, "Do you have more disinfectant supplies, let's buy some when we go into the city!" ”

Xiao Xu replied: "Alcohol and gauze are not enough, as well as anti-inflammatory drugs and medicines for diarrhea, you have to buy them!" ”

Ye Shuyang also looked at Xiao Xu and asked, "Are you a doctor?" ”

Xiao Xu nodded yes, and the elder Wei took advantage of Ye Shuyang's inattention, and pierced the needle in his hand into the blister at the bottom of Ye Shuyang's foot, and she screamed in pain, but after the blister burst, it didn't hurt much.

The elder Wei punctured the remaining blisters on his feet, and then said, "You guys rest in the room first, and I'll go to the city!" ”

Ye Shuyang struggled to stand up and said, "I also want to go into the city with you!" ”

Xiao Xu said: "Your feet are blistered, and you still go into the city with us?" ”

Ye Shuyang quickly put on his socks and said, "Of course, I'm going to go into the city to buy chili peppers!" ”

The elder Wei asked Xiao An and Windmill Grass to stay with Gong Qingzhen, and he left the inn with Xiao Xu and Ye Shuyang and entered the city from the city gate.

The enemy defending the city did not check those who entered the city, but they were extremely strict with those who left the city.

After entering the city, the elder Wei and the others went straight to the pharmacy and exchanged the remaining herbs of Ye Shuyang with daily medicines such as disinfectants and quinine in Western medicine.

When passing by a condiment shop, Ye Shuyang bought a large number of chili peppers, and Da Lao Wei bought two boxes of Daqianmen cigarettes.

When they were done purchasing, and it was getting dark, the soldiers defending the city searched their baskets carefully, and when they saw the gauze and alcohol inside, they asked, "Are you doctors?" ”

Elder Wei said: "I am a Western doctor from Germany, and these two are my assistants!" ”

He gave the soldiers cigarettes and let them go.

After returning to the inn, the elder Wei said to Gong Qingzhen: "The enemy is very strict, so we have to throw away the guy in our hands." ”

Xiao Xu asked: "But we don't even bring a guy, in case we fight the enemy along the way, won't it be dangerous!" ”

"Don't worry, I'll cover you, I'm sure they won't dare to mess with the Germans!" Elder Wei looked confident.

Ye Shuyang asked him: "Old Wei, are you really a foreigner?" ”

Elder Wei drank hot water and replied slowly: "My father is Chinese, my mother is German, I was born in Qingdao, when the Germans retreated from Shandong, I was taken to Germany by my uncle, sent to study in a military school, and was arranged to join the German Army after graduation, but I didn't want to mix with those Germans, and I was taking the money left by my uncle to France, where I met our comrades, and then returned with them to participate in the Northern Expedition." ”

Xiao Xu immediately said: "Okay, you old Wei, you don't want to say any question I ask you, Miss Ye just asked you, you said so much, don't you believe me?" ”

Ye Shuyang immediately blushed, and the elder Wei responded calmly: "Although Miss Ye is not our comrade, she gave up her clan for us, followed us in fear, and fled all the way, which is very admirable to me!" ”

Xiao Xu asked aggressively: "Do you have a fancy for Miss Ye, you bad old man!" ”

The windmill grass also cast a questioning look at the elder Wei.

Gong Qingzhen also asked: "Old Wei, you keep all of us secrets, and you don't even tell you your real age, how old are you, can you pit other girls?" ”

Elder Wei touched his short gray hair and said, "You don't believe what I said." ”

Windmill grass said, "You say, I believe you!" ”

"I was born in the year of the fall of the Qing Dynasty, my father was a sailor, he contracted a cold in Qingdao, almost died, fortunately he was rescued by the sister of the beer hall owner, after the two of them fell in love, they had me, but my uncle looked down on my father and forced my father to pass me on to him."

After hearing this, everyone showed questioning expressions, and Xiao An immediately counted with his fingers: "You are not yet thirty this year, why is your hair gray, and you have wrinkles on your face, you look older than my father!" ”

Elder Wei smiled bitterly and slowly introduced: "When I returned from France, I was a smuggler, hiding in the cabin for more than a month without seeing the sun, at that time I was whiter than Xiaoye, except that my eyes were not exactly like Europeans, the others were exactly the same as foreigners, including talking!" ”

Xiao Xu asked, "Then when did you become old and dark?" ”

Da Lao Wei replied: "I am in the port of Guangzhou, the local customs will not let me enter, in a hurry, I turned white overnight, and I became dozens of years old in three days, so that when I joined the team, they thought I was too old and did not accept me!" ”
