Chapter 966 The People's Liberation Army
Xiao Tian continued, "Our team is the people's team, we are all soldiers of the people, and our mission is to fight for the happiness and peace of the people!"
His voice was strong and clear, yet full of determination and pride.
Zhang Chaoyang murmured to himself, "So that future generations won't have to kneel down to beg for survival!"
Although the words were spoken softly, they struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.
Xie Guanlin also chimed in quietly, "The people's soldiers!"
Old Guo gripped the silver dollar tightly in his hand. He remained silent for a long time before finally coming to his senses and turning to look at Xiao Tian and Zhao Huashan tidying up the empty baskets.
Old Guo took a deep breath, then walked over with firm steps and said to Zhao Huashan, "Comrade, I want to join your team!"
Zhao Huashan looked at Lao Guo and asked in surprise, "Huh? Are you sure? Joining our team is not an easy thing. You must abide by our discipline."
Zhang Chaoyang walked over at this moment, and said with a smile, "Is this the discipline in your discipline song? Isn't this what we should do? Without rules, there can be no order."
Xiao Tian watched as the two men carried the empty baskets out of the house. He quickly stepped forward, took the baskets from them, turned around, and smiled at Lao Guo and the others, saying, "Then welcome to join our team!"
Zhao Huashan watched with a smile as one person after another stood up and walked towards them.
Zhao Huashan cleared his throat and said in a loud voice, "Everyone, please rest here for a while. If you really want to join our team, we would naturally welcome you warmly."
He looked around and said, "But I need to go back and contact our comrades here first, and have them come and meet you."
Zhang Chaoyang looked utterly astonished and blurted out, "Ah! Aren't we going with you?"
Zhao Huashan quickly explained, "Each of you is skilled in martial arts. Wouldn't it be a waste of your talents to have you follow us? Besides, many of you are not very familiar with the use of firearms and weapons, so you still need to receive some formal training."
After hearing Zhao Huashan's explanation, everyone nodded in agreement.
Indeed, if you really have to go to the battlefield, you can't just start close-quarters combat right away. Learning marksmanship and the use of other firearms is definitely essential.
Zhao Huashan and Xiao Tian were pushing their empty carts, preparing to leave, when a woman's voice came from behind them: "I'd like to join your team too, is that okay?"
Xiao Tian and Zhao Huashan heard the voice behind them and turned around at the same time. They saw a woman standing not far away, her gaze fixed on them.
Zhao Huashan nodded vigorously and said with a smile, "Of course, we have many female comrades in our team, and they are all outstanding, no less than the male comrades!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another girl stepped out from the crowd, her face beaming with gratitude.
She bowed deeply to Xiaotian and Zhao Huashan and said, "Thank you! I am so grateful to you for giving me a reason to keep living!"
When Lao Guo and the others heard what the girl said, they were all shocked.
They stared wide-eyed at the women who were walking out one after another.
They never imagined that these seemingly strong women would have thoughts of not wanting to live.
Zhao Huashan looked at the clothes on the women's bodies, his brows furrowed slightly, and said sincerely, "We didn't know there would be so many women staying here when we came. Judging from your appearance, you all seem a bit weak. How about this, we'll go back immediately and have others come over to give you all a full check-up to ensure everyone is healthy."
Xiao Tian noticed that two women were clutching their stomachs and looking pained. He quickly added, "Oh, and we'll also bring some daily necessities that the women might need. Please wait here for a moment, we'll be right back."
After finishing their conversation, Zhao Huashan turned and walked quickly toward the city.
After walking for a while and seeing that the road was deserted, Zhao Huashan took out his phone and dialed Jiang Wenming's number.
"Hello, Uncle? It's me, Zhao Huashan." Zhao Huashan continued to tell him, "There are many female comrades here, and they don't seem to be in good health. The doctors at the hospital are very busy right now, after all, so many people have been sent to the hospital by the Nationalist army."
Zhao Huashan, thinking of the expressions on the women's faces, said, "And I reckon these women might not really want to go to the hospital, so we'll have to rely on ourselves. You and Xiaoyun are the ones in our team who know medicine, so you should come over here right away."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Wenming's gaze fell on Jiang Jiyun, who was still fast asleep.
Fine beads of sweat clung to her forehead and the tip of her nose, indicating that she was fast asleep.
Jiang Wenming couldn't help but smile, then gently walked to her side. He noticed that there seemed to be something shiny at the corner of Jiang Jiyun's mouth; it turned out to be her drool.
Jiang Wenming shook his head helplessly, took out a clean towel and wiped the drool from the corner of Jiang Jiyun's mouth, afraid of waking her up.
After wiping himself, he put the towel back in its place, turned to look at Hu Dahe who was standing by the well washing his face, and said, "Dahe, come here for a moment."
Upon hearing Jiang Wenming's call, Hu Dahe immediately stopped what he was doing and quickly walked over.
Jiang Wenming said to him, "Dahe, go pick up Xiaoyun and let's go out of the city together. I'll go prepare some other things and I'll be back soon."
At this moment, Han Tao, who had been standing nearby, asked, "It's getting dark. Is there any urgent business outside the city? Do you need us to come with you?"
Jiang Wenming looked at Han Tao and explained, "Some women from the underground boxing ring escaped with us. Zhao Huashan said they weren't in good health and were quite weak."
He picked up their satchels hanging on the wall and said, "Xiaoyun and I both study traditional Chinese medicine. Zhao Huashan asked us to go over and take their pulses to see what's wrong. After all, we're all Chinese, so we should help each other out if we can."
The others in the courtyard fell silent upon hearing Jiang Wenming's words.
They all knew very well the torment and suffering those women had endured in the underground boxing ring.
Jiang Jiyun was suddenly awakened by the bumps in the car.
She opened her eyes sleepily and looked around blankly.
After a while, her vision gradually cleared, and she realized that she was sitting in a car, with the trees on both sides receding into the distance.
Seeing that the car was full of things, she asked where her uncle was taking her.
Looking at Jiang Jiyun's messy hair, Hu Dahe said, "Uncle, I saw Brother Zhao and the others. Let's stop later and braid Xiaoyun's hair. Her hairstyle is a bit peculiar."
