Xie Tian and Li Yunlong sat down at the table. Seeing Qin Fen and Li Changshun standing aside, they asked with a smile: "What are you two doing here? Want to have a drink?"
Qin Fen smiled: "It's not our part to drink with Captain Li. We are just here to stare at you. Miss Gao said that it will be helpful for your injuries to drink less wine, but not more than one bowl."
Xie Tian stretched out his hand and took off his shoes: "Come here, I promise not to beat you to death. You won't let me go out during the war, and I will limit my drinking. I'm going against you."
Li Yunlong stopped Xie Tian with a smile: "Master, please eat enough and drink less if you are injured. Don't worry, I won't treat myself as an outsider. Just watch me drink."
Xie Tian's eyes widened: "You damn thing don't think of yourself as an outsider. You even care about my armored infantry battalion."
Li Yunlong laughed loudly: "Who is following you, my brother? What's mine is yours, and what's yours is mine. Tell me, what do you like about our independent group? I'll ask someone to bring it to you right away. But we But I have to tell you in advance, I am not a bitch, we have strict control, if you don’t like this, you can ask for something else."
Xie Tianmeng rolled his eyes: "With your little wealth, I think it's better to forget it. Qin Fen, go prepare a stick for Captain Li and take it with him before leaving, so that he won't have to find a stick when he goes out to beg for food in the future."
Li Yunlong's eyes widened: "Damn it, my independent group is already considered a rich man among the Eighth Route Army, and you damn thing call me a beggar."
Xie Tian laughed and said: "Isn't it? As long as you admit that you are a beggar, when you leave, I will give you ten light machine guns, ten grenades, a hundred 38-inch caps and five thousand rounds of ammunition. I will give you Someone will bring a truck to deliver it to you.”
Li Yunlong was stunned, and immediately put a bright smile on his face. He stood up, picked up the wine bowl in both hands, nodded and bowed towards Xie Tian, with a flattering look on his face, just like a beggar holding a bowl begging for alms: "This kind-hearted uncle, you are rich and have many wives and concubines." There are so many children and grandchildren in the house, how about I sing for you, the old man, Lotus Flowers Fall..."
Before Xie Tian could react, Li Yunlong actually started singing: "It's the first month of the year, the first month is right, red lights are hung in front of every house, and the little widow has no lights to hang in front of her door, so she has to cry for her loved ones in front of their graves..."
Xie Tian suddenly lost his mind and hurriedly went to stop Li Yunlong: "Okay, okay, you win, I will arrange for someone to load the car right now."
Li Yunlong looked at Xie Tian flatteringly: "Uncle, please give me three more of your rich heavy machine guns..."
"Go away~"
Li Yunlong really got lost. He took Duan Peng, who was furious when he couldn't find him, and several guards into the truck arranged by Xie Tian. The truck was piled with ammunition boxes.
The few horses that this stingy old man rode were tied to the back of the truck and ran back with them. The mobile platoon soldier who drove them back rolled his eyes in anger and gave him an idea to arrange for a soldier to take the horses back by himself. The truck started Can't get up.
After seeing Li Yunlong off, Xie Tian breathed a sigh of relief and said to Qin Fen and others: "You guys, keep an eye on me. I need to take a nap to recharge my batteries. Dealing with Li Yunlong is a headache."
Li Changshun smiled and said: "I have been begging all the way to here but I haven't learned how to go to the grave as a little widow. This Li Yunlong is really a talent."
Xie Tian laughed: "As long as you can take advantage, your face is not worth a penny. You can't even beg for food if you are so thin. Look at Li Yunlong. In the song "Little Widow Goes to the Grave" and takes away my truckload of equipment."
Qin Fen said with a smile: "That's what the regiment leader wanted to give to him. We also have these equipment piled up in our warehouse. It's better to give them to the team that really wants to fight the Japanese."
Xie Tian smiled and patted Qin Fen on the shoulder: "That's the right way to think about it. Okay, just keep an eye on it and call me if you need anything."
Xie Tian limped back to the room and lay down on the bed as soon as the door was closed, already snoring for a moment.
It’s hard work.
Who would have expected that Xie Tian slept for a whole night. When he woke up, he felt his head was dizzy and the whole room was filled with the smell of medicine.
Xie Tian opened his eyes and looked at the bare ceiling. He stayed awake for a long time. He shook his head vigorously and struggled to sit up. However, he was horrified to find that he had no strength at all. Standing up turned out to be a luxury.
"Are you awake?!"
A woman's cry of surprise reached his ears, and Xie Tian realized that there was another person lying beside the bed, and his hand had been tightly grasped by this person.
But this woman is not Tang Haoer, but Gao Meijuan.
Xie Tian moved with difficulty, trying to pull his hand back, but failed, but he was able to speak.
Xie Tian asked weakly: "Why are you here? Where is Hao'er?"
Xie Tian suddenly found that his voice was terribly hoarse, as if his throat had been dried out by the sun.
Gao Meijuan did not answer Xie Tian. She put her hand on Xie Tian's forehead to test his temperature. She wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and smiled: "Just wake up. You haven't eaten in three days. Just wait a minute and I'll get it for you." Steam some egg custard, it’ll be ready in no time.”
Gao Meijuan stood up, but Xie Tian caught her: "Have you not eaten for three days? Have I slept for three days?"
Gao Meijuan's eyes were red and she said, "Your wound is infected and you have been running a fever. It's frighteningly hot."
Xie Tian struggled to sit up. Gao Meijuan hurriedly held Xie Tian down and shouted: "If you don't pay attention to your body, it will be really hopeless. Lie down, what are you going to tell me? Do you need to urinate?"
When Gao Meijuan said thank you, he felt a little anxious to urinate, but that was not why he wanted to get up. However, he did not struggle with Gao Meijuan's hand holding him down, as if that hand had a huge power.
Xie Tian knew that of course it wasn't Gao Meijuan's strength, it was her own weakness.
He gave up struggling, lay back on the pillow, looked at Gao Meijuan and said, "Go find Qin Fen and the others. I must know what happened outside in the past three days."
Gao Meijuan sighed: "You must lie down obediently and not move."
Xie Tian nodded. He didn't want to speak, and he didn't have the energy to say more. He felt like his energy was almost exhausted after just saying these few words.
"Pee first, and then I'll call them." Gao Meijuan made another condition, and without refuting, she bent down and took out a chamber pot from under the bed, opened a crack in the quilt, and put her hands and chamber pot into the quilt.
Xie Tian closed his eyes sadly and asked, "Where is Hao'er."
If someone needs help with this matter, it would have to be Tang Haoer or Tiedan. Why are they not seen in the room?
Gao Meijuan helped Xie Tian put in the chamber pot without raising her head: "She is busy and entrusted me to take care of you. Now go pee."
Xie Tian opened his eyes and stared at Gao Meijuan and asked, "Did something happen to her?"
Since he was so ill, Tang Haoer had no reason to leave himself to Gao Meijuan to take care of him at this moment, unless there was an accident.
Gao Meijuan looked at Xie Tian and smiled bitterly: "Don't think so wildly. Hao'er went to Dagu Town to find medicine for you. He should be back soon."
Xie Tian breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes. It would be fine if he went to Dagu Town. Really, why not just arrange for someone to go there to find medicine? Tiedan can do it too. Look how embarrassed I am now.
The tinkling sound of spring water finally came out from under the quilt. Old Xie Tian's face turned red and he closed his eyes tightly. Now he was unable to resist and could only cover his shame with his eyelids.
