At the entrance of the collapsed Temple of Wealth, the young anti-alliance fighters who tried their best to clean themselves up, under the guidance of the Zhao brothers, lined up and took turns to tie up the Kowloon belt they had just captured, don't put on the belt and step on it Box Pao also temporarily put on the dog-skin coats and dog-skin hats lent to them by Zhao Jinyu, Hu Bazhi and even Wei Ran.
Wearing enough outfits to make their families feel at ease, these young guys stood next to the beautiful white mule and in front of the trophies, with expressions that reflected the sunshine. With a bright smile as bright as snow, he looked at the camera in Wei Ran's hand and let the latter press the shutter towards them.
Until the end, after taking photos of Hu Bazhi and Lao Zhang, Zhao Jinge and Zhao Jinyu, who had changed into clothes, stood side by side and said, "Brother Wei, take a photo of us two brothers." Take a photo."
"Okay"
Wei Ran nodded in agreement, waited for the brothers to be ready, and pressed the shutter seriously.
"Okay, we've taken all the photos we need to take, and it's time for us to leave."
As Zhao Jinge said this, he took off his dog-skin coat, along with the top of his head. The dog fur was handed to Wei Ran.
"You can keep it" Wei Ran waved his hand, "I'm not cold."
"What are you talking about!"
Zhao Jinge couldn't help but turn the dog around The fur was tied on Wei Ran's head, and then he put the big dog skin coat on him, "This mountain is not like home, the wind is cold, and if you catch the wind cold, it can kill you."
< p>Opened his mouth, Wei Ran did not insist, he put on the leather jacket that Hu Bazhi had given him before, put the camera into his arms and asked, "Where are we going now?"< p>"Get in the car!"Zhao Jinge just greeted with a smile, but was cautious and did not explain.
Seeing this, Wei Ran no longer asked any more questions, and took the initiative to sit on the sledge pulled by the white mule that Hu Bazhi ordered, and followed the sledge convoy across the wooden bridge across the river ditch. , heading towards the direction where Zhao Jinge and others set up an ambush.
In addition to the two of Wei Ran, the white mule sledge also pulled the 50 captured Japanese backpacks, as well as the grenades and artillery shells that Wei Ran collected. Of course, there are also the "luggage" of him, Hu Bazhi and Zhao Jinyu.
"Have we become soldiers of the Anti-Union Alliance?" Hu Bazhi asked in a low voice. At this time, he also had an impressive "Nine Dragon Belt" around his waist.
"Yes" Wei Ran nodded, raised his camera and clicked the shutter towards the mule and sledge convoy in front.
"They are really suffering."
Hu Bazhi whispered, "Look at all the tattered clothes they are wearing. They are worse than the clothes I stripped off the dead." Not as good as that."
"Are you afraid?" Wei Ran asked deliberately.
"Afraid?"
Hu Bazhi spat, "As long as I can beat the Japanese, I won't be afraid of freezing to death with my bare buttocks naked."
"You don't have to bare your buttocks to fight the devil, thenIt must be seventy or eighty years later. "
Wei Ran muttered something that Hu Bazhi could not possibly understand, then lowered his voice and said, "Let's discuss it? "
"Brother Wei is very polite," Hu Bazhi said carelessly, "If you have anything to say, please tell me! "
"When you have time later, you have worked so hard to make a few dog-skin hats out of the dog-skin jacket you gave me? "
Wei Ran raised his chin towards the convoy in front, "Look at them, they have frostbite on their ears and faces, what if"
"Brother Wei, stop talking"
p>Hu Bazhi waved his hand before Wei Ran finished speaking, "I'll start when we get to the place, and I'll make sure everyone gets one! "
At this point, Hu Bazhi stopped, and after some calculation, he said, "If you don't care about style but just warmth, I think those two wolf skin blankets will be enough. ”
“I’ll catch the bus, how about you do it now?” Wei Ran asked.
“You can’t tell the difference between a mule and a horse. How can you drive a cart?” "Hu Bazhi asked suspiciously.
"This big mule has been following the front, should I drive it? "Wei Ran asked confidently.
"Alright"
Hu Bazhi felt happy and simply moved to the side, giving up his position to Wei Ran, and then He pulled his sack bag over and took out a leather knife from it. After shaking off the wolf skin blanket, he cut off a corner of the blanket with a "chi" sound and cut out a piece slightly larger than the red scarf of later generations. A piece of leather in a circle, almost triangular.
The workmanship of this wolf skin blanket is quite solid, with the outer side made of wolf skin and a layer of soft rabbit skin sewn inside. >
Pinching the two short sides of the triangular piece of leather together and putting it on his head to try, Hu Bazhi took out a birch bark needlework barrel from the sack and took out a sharpened one. With a sharp and shiny awl, he took out a spool of the thinnest leather rope and began to sew.
In less than ten minutes, a hat that was somewhat similar to a lama's hat came into being. It’s done.
Although this craft is simple and depends on who knows how, it is just as warm and can cover the ears. The only shortcoming is that it is not as comfortable as wearing a serious dog skin hat. It's just not that stable.
This didn't bother Hu Bazhi. He picked up the leather knife again, cut another palm-wide strip from the corner of the blanket, and sewed it on the hat, making some gestures. Then he cut it in the middle, punched holes on both sides, put a leather rope through it and handed it to Wei Ran again.
Putting on the hat and covering his chin with the palm-sized piece of leather, Wei Ran tied the leather rope tightly. He gave Hu Bazhi a thumbs up. Not only would the hat not be blown off by the wind, but his face would also be protected.
"I'll sew with you"
Wei Ran said and took an awl from the other party's sewing tube.
"How about Brother Zhao come over and help me?" "Hu Bazhi asked in a low voice.
He glanced at Zhao Jinge, who was sitting on the sledge at the front of the convoy.While Zhao Jinyu was chatting, Wei Ran shook his head, "Forget it, let the two brothers reminisce about old times." Hearing this, Hu Bazhi nodded, cut out two triangular pieces of leather, and cut them into pieces. After handing one piece to Wei Ran, the two began sewing.
"What are you two little brothers busy with?"
Before Wei Ran could finish sewing the first hat in his hands, the one was called "Old Zhangtou" "The squad leader came up and sat on the other side of the sledge and asked curiously.
"Uncle Zhang is here just in time, let's try it on."
Hu Bazhi said, already handing over the first made hat.
He took the unattractive hat and looked at it. Old Zhangtou, who had only a rag wrapped around his head to keep out the cold, happily put it on his head and tied it carefully. He tried the leather string and praised happily, "This leather hat is really well made!"
"It's sewn blindly, so you guys can just wear it."
Hu Bazhi responded slightly shyly, but had already made a second hat as he spoke.
At the same time, Lao Zhangtou took off the hat on his head and asked curiously, "Do you think you want one for each of us?"
< p>"You can't have one for each person"Hu Bazhi looked at the other person in confusion, "Why do we have to leave out a few?"
"I heard Jin Yu say, you Is he a hunter?"
"Yeah!" Hu Bazhi nodded, already cutting off another piece of leather and picking up the awl again.
"Are you willing to give up such a big piece of good leather?" Lao Zhangtou asked curiously as he picked up the wolfskin blanket that the former had just put down.
"What are you talking about, uncle!"
Hu Bazhi was unhappy and shouted in a loud voice, "How can I still be reluctant to part with a scrap of leather? Don't talk about this , If you can kill all the Japs and peel off my skin alive, I won’t even frown!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers on the sledge in front turned to look over. The smile on Lao Zhangtou's face was brighter than when he just put on the leather hat.
"Okay! That's good!"
Lao Zhang smiled happily and patted Hu Bazhi on the shoulder. Get rid of all the devils!"
"We have to kill them all!" Hu Bazhi muttered vaguely, while using the awl in his hand to penetrate the leather. A lot.
"Old Squad Leader"
Wei Ran sent out the invitation at the right time and changed the topic, "Why don't you find a few people to help? It will go faster, maybe we can get to the place Before, everyone could wear a leather hat."
"Yes, squad leader Zhang, please find some comrades to come over and help."
Hu Bazhi first imitated Wei Ran and used the title "old squad leader", but at the same time he couldn't help but change the honorific "brother" in slang to "comrade".
Hearing this, Lao Zhangtou smiled, glanced at the three large needles remaining in the syringe, and said loudly, "Jin Ge, ask your brother to come over and help. Xiaohu, you are very handy, so come and help."
"Coming!"
Zhao Jinyu was the first to respond, but the young soldier named Xiaohu jumped off a sledge in front of him first. He ran forward and saluted.
"Come and learn how to do it with Comrade Hu Bazhi."
Lao Zhangtou said and sat down inside, giving way to the young man named Xiaohu. Location.
“This is easy!”
The young soldier named Xiaohu just glanced at it and picked up a big needle when Zhao Jinyu arrived.
"What are you going to do?" Zhao Jinyu jumped on the sledge as he spoke.
"Needlework" Wei Ran raised his chin towards Hu Bazhi.
After glancing at the finished product and the work that Wei Ran and Hu Bazhi were busy with, Zhao Jinyu reached out and picked up the last big needle in the syringe.
On the next journey, as hats were sewn one after another and passed to the hands of the soldiers in front, Wei Ran also struck on the side, from the old squad leader sitting next to him, and the famous man. The young soldier named Xiaohu got some scattered information.
The most critical part of this information is that in addition to Zhao Jinyu’s second brother Zhao Jinshan writing a letter to him in the summer and leaving the team for Mao Zi’s territory soon after, he also learned that Since last month, the Japanese have been encircling and suppressing them. Over the past month, they have lost almost a squad of comrades.
Not only that, there are not only two wounded people in their camp now, but most importantly, they have been without food for four days.
"To be honest, the three of you came at the wrong time."
Lao Zhangtou took Hu Bazhi's tobacco purse, dug out a pot of dry tobacco leaves with his own tobacco bag, and lit it He took a hard sip and said worriedly, "Since the beginning of autumn, this little devil has been besieging us like crazy. I'm afraid life will be difficult this winter."
"Old squad leader, what you said is what I said. I'm not happy to hear it."
Hu Bazhi retorted dissatisfiedly, "When is the right time for us to come? When the enemy is finished? We won't be able to keep up with the heat by then."
"I think Brother Hu is right!"
Zhao Jinyu echoed, "We joined the Anti-League to fight the Japanese. When else can we choose? The more difficult the situation, the more difficult it is for us to It’s time to come. I see, our three brothers came at the right time!”
“That’s right!”
It was not the silent Wei who agreed with them. Ran is actually Xiaohu, the youngest soldier in the anti-alliance team.
Through the self-introductions during the chat, Wei Ran and the three of them all knew that this young soldier named Tian Xiaohu was only 16 years old, but he had already been a member of the Anti-League Army for four years. Veteran.
This enlistment really needs to be put in quotation marks. In the beginning, he was just an orphan adopted by the Anti-Japanese Alliance fighters. He usually only helped run errands, but he could also help with sentry or transmitting information.
However, since the Japanese began to encircle and suppress the resistance, Tian Xiaohu, who was unwilling to leave, finally got his wish. In the past few months, he has killed six Japanese.
On the slightly swaying carriage, Wei Ran, who was busy sewing the last few leather hats, did not join the conversation and smiled. The old squad leader, who was also sewing hats, did not express his opinion.
On the contrary, Hu Bazhi, Zhao Jinyu, and Tian Xiaohu, who were younger than them both, used this topic to talk about fighting the Japanese, the Japanese they had killed, and their relationship with the Japanese. 's "story".
There is no joy in such a story, it’s just that everyone has their own sorrow and the same hatred.
In these stories full of blood and hatred, this sledge convoy, dragged by the mules, slowly penetrated into the depths of the forest and snowfields, climbed over the mountain ridges with difficulty, and finally got through. We stopped at the top of a highland deep in a coniferous mixed forest.
The terrain here is much higher than the surroundings. There is a low but large building in the middle, and it is covered with a thick layer of snow, almost blending in with the surroundings. Diwozi.
"Come on! Come in and warm yourself up!"
Zhao Jinge and the old squad leader warmly greeted the new Weiran trio and got into the den, while the others had already put on their clothes. The young soldiers in leather hats enthusiastically moved all the captured trophies off the sledges into different categories.
At the same time, Wei Ran was also looking at the rather large den in the hot air.
This den can be nearly 10 meters long and about five or six meters wide. There is a one-meter-wide corridor in the middle, with a large Tongpa-like earthen kang on both sides. Next to the edge of the kang, there are thigh-thick pillars every three or four meters supporting the roof.
The two roads were paved with pine needles, birch bark and tattered straw mats. At the head of the kang, which is relatively close to the mouth of the stove, there is also an anti-alliance soldier who seems to have fallen into a coma.
"Comrade Wei Ran, the letter left by my brother Jinshan said that you know some medical skills, please help show them." Zhao Jinge said worriedly.
"What happened to them?"
As Wei Ran spoke, he lifted the torn blanket from the pale young warrior on the kang to his left.
"His toes were frozen off, and the wound became suppurative."
The old squad leader sighed and explained, "This kid is just 21, and he hasn't said a wife yet." "Hearing this, Wei Ran completely lifted the blanket off the soldier, exposing his feet, and then frowned.
This soldier’s 10 toes have been frozen. Only two big toes and the second toe on the left are left.It already stinks.
"How could it be so serious?" Wei Ran couldn't help but ask.
"It must have been five or six days. We broke out and moved overnight to avoid the Japanese encirclement and suppression. When we were crossing the river, the ice cracked. He stepped into the water and ran again. One night, when we stopped, his toes were frozen off."
After a long silence and extra careful inspection, Wei Ran walked to the other side in silence. In front of a soldier, he gently lifted the blanket covering him and asked, "What happened to him?"
"He fell"
Zhao Jinge looked slightly helpless. He sighed and said, "When I was breaking out a few days ago, I fell off the mountain ridge and broke my thigh and hand."
Gently pinching the red and swollen fracture, Wei Ran reached out and touched the soldier's slightly hot forehead. After a moment of hesitation, he raised his head and said, "Brother Zhao, take the captured Japanese backpack Bring them all in and open them. I have to look for anything useful."
"Xiaohu, go get all the Japanese backpacks and open them on the kang." When Zhao Jinge opened his mouth, he issued the order.
"Yes!"
Little Tiger stood at attention and saluted, turned around and ran out of the warm nest.
"Brother Hu, and brother Jinyu."
Wei Ran said as he took off his dog-skin coat and dog-skin hat, "Take the iron tube we found before "Find out the candy bars."
Although they didn't know what Wei Ran was going to do, Hu Bazhi and Zhao Jinyu immediately opened their sacks together and found the tube of Japanese candy bars.
"Brother Hu, you can't help me here. Why don't you work hard now and take Brother Jinyu to get some food for everyone!" Wei Ran said.
"Yes! Look at me! I almost forgot!" Hu Bazhi patted his forehead, and immediately called Zhao Jinyu who wanted to say something and ran out of the cave.
Almost immediately, Xiaohu also led a few anti-union fighters, and sent all the forty or fifty Japanese backpacks into the den, opened them one by one and placed them on the earthen bed.
Although these Japanese backpacks contain a lot of things, the contents are similar. However, there are a lot of personal belongings in those Taro bags.
After some picking and picking, in addition to picking out a few first aid kits, Wei Ran finally found a glass bottle of assault tablets, some condoms, and a thin-edged knife with a bamboo handle and sheath.
He removed the wooden linings from the two additional backpacks. After some preparations, Wei Ran opened the iron tube, knocked out a handful of candy bars and said, "Squad Leader Zhao, arrange for a few stronger soldiers." Come in and help."
"Just a few of them"
Zhao Jinge rolled up his sleeves as he spoke, "Which one do we need to hold down?"
"Two pieces of candy for each person, eat it before helping."
Wei Ran stretched out his hand and said without doubt, "If you don't want to eat it, go out and let someone in who is willing to eat it."help. ”
Zhao Jinge didn’t know that Wei Ran was worried that they would suddenly lose strength when their blood sugar levels dropped. He might not even have an idea of what blood sugar is.
Of course, if Wei Ran could If you were reading minds, you would definitely roll your eyes. At this time, Zhao Jinge simply thought that Wei Ran was using the candy to test whether they could trust him.
Because of this, Zhao Jinge took it without thinking. The candy was thrown into his mouth, chewed and swallowed.
Almost immediately, the other five soldiers, including Xiaohu and the old squad leader, also took two pieces of candy and threw them in. After chewing it and swallowing it, Wei Ran threw the Japanese knife into the kettle at the mouth of the stove and slowly cooked it, then took it off. He threw the cotton-padded clothes on his body aside and carefully rolled up his sleeves.
"Press him first."
Wei Ran pointed to the broken one, and Zhao Jinge and others immediately gathered around him. , held down the wounded man very skillfully.
Finding his bearskin hand, he stuffed it into the soldier's mouth and let him bite it. Wei Ran nodded towards Zhao Jinge and others and started. Bone-setting work.
Before he could straighten the broken bones, the soldier was awakened by the pain and began to struggle uncontrollably.
“Xiao Shen, you. Hold on, we're looking for a doctor to set your bones! " Zhao Jinge pressed the wounded man's shoulders firmly on the kang and said.
After shaking his head, the soldier gradually stopped struggling, but his nerves were inevitably tightened due to pain. His originally pale face His face turned red from suppressing it in a short period of time and he had big beads of sweat.
"Scream if it hurts"
Wei Ran said and increased the strength of his hands. , the soldier surnamed Shen couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
In less than ten minutes, the broken thigh bone was finally aligned with the crack through the severely red and swollen flesh, and the soldier also couldn't help but groan. He fainted the moment he let go.
After carefully checking the red and swollen injured leg to make sure there was no trauma, he fixed the fracture with a wooden board taken out of his backpack and a torn Japanese army blanket.
"Let him slow down and deal with the other soldier's wound first. "
Wei Ran said, turned around and walked to the injured person who had lost his toes due to frostbite. At present, there was a lack of medical treatment and not even a decent scalpel. He was not sure that he could handle it. Such a wound.
But the current situation left him with no choice but to take out an assault ingot and crush it. Wei Ran was powerless. Shaking his head, he was distractedly thinking about whether there were these two wounded people in a time and space without his own, and who treated them, or even whether they were treated, while taking out the handful of Japanese food that had been boiled in boiling water for a long time. The thin knife gently opened a thin wound on the soldier's foot.
When the dark red blood slowly poured out, he gently poured some assault tablet powder on it. It was the only way he could think of to relieve the pain.
After waiting patiently for a moment, he glanced at Zhao Jinge and others. The latter understood and immediately led the other soldiers to hold down the soldier.
"All I can do is cut out his rotten flesh. I'm not sure whether it can be cured." Wei Ran said before taking the knife.
"Come on, it's better than watching him do it!" Zhao Jinge said through gritted teeth.
Hearing this, Wei Ran nodded, squatted by the kang, and cut off the rotten flesh on the soles of the young warrior's feet bit by bit. The warm earth gradually became filled with richness. The smell of blood.
However, I don’t know if it was the effect of the assault tablet powder. From the beginning to the end, the soldier did not have any major pain reaction. Wei Ran even doubted whether he had woken up from the coma. .
In this "cooperation" that he didn't know whether it was good or bad, but which made him particularly uneasy, he used a relatively sharp knife to shave off all the rotten flesh on the soldier's feet. Clean it, then sprinkle it with styptic powder, and carefully bandage it with the clean gauze found in the Japanese first aid box.
Finally, an extra layer of condoms was put on each of the two feet to isolate the dust. However, Wei Ran did not breathe a sigh of relief at all. He just threw the short knife in his hand aside, turned around and said, "Come on. "Well, it's time to reattach his broken arm." The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
