"By the way, that Langzhong said that he will come over to take a look at him in the evening, and if he is sure that you are fine, he will leave."

"Okay," Li Qinghe nodded, and then suddenly said, "Have you paid Lang Zhong's medical bills?" ”

"Given," Wang Ergou nodded immediately, and then looked distressed, "But he recognized us, said that he didn't want any money, and told us that the Eighth Route Army didn't need money for medical treatment." I think I'll stuff this money into his medical kit when I'm seen tonight, and I'll have to give it to him. ”

"Do it right, wait for the evening to see a doctor or give money to Langzhong, how can there be a doctor who doesn't cost money?" Li Qinghe very much agreed, the discipline of the Eighth Route Army could not be violated, even under special circumstances.

As the two were talking, Zhang Niu strode back, "Squad leader, the money was given, and I apologized to others, people said that they didn't want money, I forced the money into the hands of my fellow countrymen." ”

"Okay," Li Qinghe picked up the bowl with satisfaction and took a sip of the soup. "Zhang Niu, no matter where we go, no matter what the situation, we are all soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and we can't do anything that violates discipline."

"Yes, it's me who didn't do it this time." Zhang Niu lowered his head in shame.

"Go, serve two more bowls of chicken soup, let's drink it together, and celebrate our escape from heaven."

"Good!"

After drinking the chicken soup, Li Qinghe seemed to think of something and said, "Do you have a map?" Zhang Niu and Wang Ergou shook their heads, "No, how could we have such a valuable thing?" ”

Li Qinghe frowned, "Can you be sure where you are now?" ”

Zhang Niu thought for a moment and said: "10 miles to the east is Shuangwang Town, and 20 miles to the west is Lulong County, which I heard when I went to invite Langzhong." ”

"Is there a stronghold of the Japanese puppet army nearby?"

"Yes." Zhang Niu nodded, "Less than 5 miles east of the village, there is a Japanese artillery tower. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Sure," Zhang Niu said with great certainty, "I happened to pass by when I went to Shuangwang Town to look for Langzhong, and I was also searched for an ocean. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Niu gritted his teeth very much, and Li Qinghe, who saw it, laughed, "Zhang Niu, wait for two days, my body will be well, let's go there and steal the money that belongs to you back." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Niu was startled, "Squad leader, don't scare me, just a few of us with small arms and legs, how can we go and get the money back." There are all Japanese people there, and there are just three of us, so we don't have enough to stuff the teeth between the Japanese. ”

"You kid, can't you use your brain?" Li Qinghe scolded with a smile, "I said that I was going to steal, let's not go to the turret, that thing is not what we can fight now." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Niu scratched his head in confusion, "How do you steal it, I never stole a chicken or touched a dog when I was a child, how can I steal the turret method?" Li Qinghe laughed, "You, just watch it, see how I steal the turret when the time comes." ”

In the evening, the sound of the wood door sounded, and an old man with a medicine box walked into the room, Zhang Niu and Wang Ergou saw the old man coming, and hurriedly vacated their seats, "The old man is here, sit down." ”

Seeing Li Qinghe wake up, Lao Langzhong immediately said with a smile: "How does Xiaoyou feel, do you feel uncomfortable?" "No, it feels good, it's just a little tired."

"Little friend, please stretch out your wrist and let the old man diagnose your pulse." Stretching out his wrist, the old man's four fingers lightly rested on his wrist and began to check his pulse.

After a moment, the old man raised his hand and said with a smile: "It's amazing that Xiaoyou's body has recovered so quickly. The reason why Xiaoyou feels tired is because Xiaoyou was overworked some time ago, and it is enough to rest for a few days. Li Qinghe nodded, "Then thank you Langzhong." ”

The old man touched his beard with a smile, "Haha, this is the old man's duty." Since Xiaoyou no longer has any problems, the old man is also leaving, after all, the old man is a square man, he can't wait, he can't wait. With that, he walked out.

"Sir, please stay." Lang Zhong took back the foot that had just stepped out of the door, and looked at Li Qinghe with some confusion, "What else is wrong with Xiaoyou?" "Zhang Niu, you go and pay the old gentleman for the medical bills."

"Yes." As he spoke, Zhang Niu took out a cloth bag from his arms and took out 5 silver dollars and handed them to Lang Zhong. Lao Langzhong hurriedly refused, "A few little friends, what are you doing here, I can't take this money if I say anything." ”

"Old man, you also know that we are the Eighth Route Army, and the military discipline of the Eighth Route Army is not to take a stitch from the masses. So, please be sure to accept this money. What's more, you make money from this, and it is only natural for us to give money. ”

"Little friend, you are tormenting the old man in this way." Lao Lang categorically refused, "Although I am 73 years old, I am not blind with these tricks, my heart is not old, and I have seen many things more thoroughly than you." ”

"Since the Japanese came here in 1935, we have become slaves of the Japanese. The Nanjing government has abandoned us, but you have not given up, and you are the hope of our people in Hebei. I rely on my family's medical skills to make money, but I don't earn the money of patriots and people with lofty ideals like you, and I feel ashamed to earn your money. ”

Without waiting for Li Qinghe to finish speaking, the old gentleman floated away with the medicine box, and bursts of singing came from outside the house, his voice was hoarse and the tone was scattered, but Li Qinghe heard a kind of joy and ease.

The three of them looked at each other. Li Qinghe immediately realized something, and hurriedly said, "Did you two give money?" ”

"Nope." Wang Ergou and Zhang Niu realized that they hadn't had time to give the money to others, so they hurriedly rushed out to chase them.

When they ran back again, both of them had a little gloomy on their faces, "Squad leader, the old man's foot strength is too fast, and he doesn't know where to go when he goes out, Wang Ergou and I have been looking for a long time, and I don't even know where to go." ”

Li Qinghe nodded, "Remember the appearance of this old gentleman, when we see him again in the future, we must thank him well, this is a master." ”

"It's getting late, you two should go and rest." The two nodded, and just about to leave, Li Qinghe suddenly said: "By the way, two days after tomorrow, the two of you will go and feel the situation around the turret, find out the action rules and firepower layout of the Japanese puppet army inside, and when I recover my strength in two days, I will go and steal this stronghold for him." ”

"Squad leader, it's really stealing." Zhang Niu said, his expression was a little complicated.

"What so much nonsense, let you go." Li Qinghe rolled his eyes. My squad leader said so, so just do it. Anyway, Zhang Niu believes that his squad leader will not harm himself.

"Also, you two get me some pen and paper, the more the better."

Soon, the pen and paper were brought, and Li Qinghe put the pen and paper on the table to be used later.

"That, squad leader, let's go back and rest, you can go to bed early here, don't work too hard if you're not in good health." Zhang Niu and Wang Ergou instructed before leaving, and prepared to close the door and leave.

"How much money do we have left?" Li Qinghe's cold question made the two stop their movements, Zhang Niu pinched his fingers, and calculated, "What we brought ourselves plus what we looted from the Japanese army, about 13 or 4 oceans, and a few dog tickets." Zhang Niu was a little puzzled.

"Okay, if you still have money, go and rest, and get things done tomorrow." Li Qinghe, who was sitting at the table, waved his hand without raising his head, and the two left the room and closed the door.
