Chapter 192 Traces
The space below the cellar was small and the height was very low, and an adult barely stood inside with his back bent over.
At this moment, the five-meter-deep cellar was filled with more than 30 villagers, making the already narrow cellar even more crowded and there was nowhere to stay.
Since young and strong laborers went out to escape the war or join the army, most of the more than 30 villagers here are women, girls, children and elderly people.
Zhao Gang glanced around the cellar and looked at the dusty and very embarrassed villagers with a slight pain in his heart, especially when he saw their eyes flashing with fear and hope, his eyes were slightly red.
Immediately, Zhao Gang stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Dayou's hand, and said with pain:
"I'm sorry, fellow villager, we're late!"
This sentence instantly touched Zhang Dayou's fragile nerves. He could no longer hold on. His nose felt sore and tears rolled in his eyes.
"Chief, we have come to you!"
"The bandits killed more than twenty people in our village!"
The sad atmosphere spreads in the cellar, and many villagers can't help but choke.
Zhao Gang's mood was also extremely heavy, and he looked at the many seriously injured villagers lying on the ground.
Suddenly, he saw Chen Lan lying on the ground, blood had already stained the military uniform between her waist and abdomen, and was dark under the dim light of the cellar.
"Chen Lan!" Zhao Gang exclaimed lightly, then helped Chen Lan's neck up. Seeing that the latter was not moving, he stretched out his finger and looked under his breath.
Chen Lan's face was pale and she was as angry as silk.
"It was this girl who saved our group, otherwise we would have been killed by the bandits long ago! But after killing the bandits, she was also injured. We had no medicine and doctor, so we could not treat her..."
Zhang Dayou's voice was low and there was a hint of self-blame in his words.
Wang Yu jumped out of the cellar with a thud.
Hearing the sound, Zhao Gang said to Wang Yu without looking back:
"Quick! Get Comrade Chen Lan up!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu's face suddenly changed, and he came to Chen Lan in two steps.
When Wang Yu noticed Chen Lan's situation, a hint of panic flashed across his face, and then became ashen, with endless anger burning in his heart.
He didn't say anything, put his arms around Chen Lan's slender waist with one hand, climbed the wall of the cellar with the other, and took the injured Chen Lan out.
"My fellow villagers, let's go out first!"
After saying that, Zhao Gang began to organize villagers to leave this small and dark cellar one after another.
During this period, the commander of the first battalion, Guan Dashan, and the commander of the second battalion, Shen Quan, also arrived with the first battalion of the independent regiment.
Inside the house, after the Independence Group settled the villagers, Li Yunlong also listened to Zhang Dayou telling the whole story clearly.
"Damn, these doggy bandits!"
The blue veins on Li Yunlong's head thundered, and he was so angry that he was spinning in place, and said viciously:
"If I don't suppress this group of bandits, I won't call him Li Yunlong!"
At this moment, Chen Lan was lying on the earthen kang in the house, covering her with a quilt to keep warm. After bandage by the sanitary staff, she was no longer seriously injured.
The bullet penetrated the edge of her abdomen, leaving a bullet hole the size of a thumb, fortunately it did not hurt the organs.
Zhao Gang tucked Chen Lan's quilt, sighed and said:
"You two are still too reckless. Just two of you. When you find the bandits, you should notify the main force or the farm rescue association in the nearby village to seek help."
Hearing this, Li Yunlong, who was beside him, glared at him and said loudly:
"reckless?"
"I think they are good things, so I dare to fight and do it. The two of them beat more than twenty bandits away. They are so fucking guys!"
After saying that, Li Yunlong realized that it was inappropriate to praise Chen Lan in this way, and hurriedly added:
"I am worthy of being a soldier of our Independent Regiment!"
Zhao Gang looked at the angry Li Yunlong and said:
"I didn't say they were wrong, I just attacked rashly, which was a bit inappropriate."
"Dede, I don't want to argue with you!" Li Yunlong was a little impatient.
Zhao Gang wanted to say something, but when he saw Li Yunlong's appearance, he curled his lips and turned his head. He happened to see Zhang Dayou staring at Li Yunlong, with surprise and suspicion in his eyes.
Combining what happened in the cellar just now, Zhao Gang instantly understood and said:
"My fellow villager, don't mind. This is how we Captain Li is. He fucks his father and scolds her all day long and swears!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dayou smiled silly and said:
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I feel more intimate when Captain Li does this!"
"The whereabouts of the monk are unknown now, and even the bandits are nowhere to be found. Damn, I can't even vent my strength, just like a punch hitting the cotton!"
Li Yunlong walked back and forth on the ground, cursing.
He also learned from Chen Lan that Monk Wei blocked the bandits last night, but he still has no one to live or corpses to die, which makes him even more anxious.
Based on his understanding of Wei Dayong, this kid is not a good deal. Although ten or eight bandits are not his opponents, he has not seen anyone for such a long time, which makes him feel badly.
"Captain, it's only been ten hours now, and the traces left by the bandits are still there. I can definitely find the whereabouts of the monk!"
Chen Lan said, lifting up the quilt and going down to the ground.
Li Yunlong hurriedly held Chen Lan and comforted:
"You're just right now, so don't mess around. Leave this matter to our masters!"
"But the leader..."
Chen Lan wanted to continue talking, but was interrupted by Li Yunlong's wave of his hand.
Li Yunlong glanced around the room and found that Wang Yu, Zhang Dabiao and Wang Chengzhu didn't know where they had gone, so he asked loudly:
"Where did Wang Yu go, these three bastards? They were still here just now!"
