I want to be a good person

Chapter 71: Days of Healing

In the following days, Zhang Aiguo recovered from his injuries. When he was free, he disassembled the drum magazine of MG08/15 and bought two at that time. Unfortunately, there was no loader. He did not buy one because he was afraid of suspicion. He just said that he would buy a few next time and asked the other party to prepare the stock.

After taking the drum apart I found out that it was not a drum. It just looked like a drum on the outside. Inside was a canvas belt with an ammunition belt. It should be an ammunition belt box. I was misled by the appearance. Humans are always visual animals.

Zhang Aiguo loaded the bullets with one hand, slowly. Fortunately, he had it. If it was a box gun or other firearms, there was a very high possibility that he would not be able to escape. He also collected the spent bullet casings, all of which were copper casings.

The next stop is Shanghai to see if I can buy a Chicago typewriter, which is a powerful weapon for close combat. Shanghai and the south are areas of interest to the Western powers, and all kinds of goods are in sufficient supply.

The traditional Chinese medical skills handed down from generation to generation are really effective quickly, and the use of wound medicine has a history of thousands of years, but disinfection and cleaning have not been given much attention.

Zhang Aiguo looked at the granulation tissue growing on his wound and admired the profoundness of traditional Chinese medicine. He endured the itch and thought about how he had passed off inferior medicinal materials as good ones in his previous life. He thought that the traditional Chinese medicine practitioner's qualification still needed to be reviewed by Western medicine, which was really shameful.

The barefoot doctors among the folks were all wiped out. Many medical skills were inherited from their ancestors. It was a pity that they became desolate and lost. All of them had to have antennas on their heads and could not be grounded, thus easily becoming conductors.

"Nephew, we have to visit the village chief's house today, otherwise he might cause trouble."

"What can he find?"

"Go to the town hall to file a complaint, go to the police station, what about your gunshot wound?"

"Alas, they don't catch bandits and horse bandits, but only come to cause trouble for us ordinary people."

"This is not normal. The bandits have guns. They are afraid of death when they go there. They just want to bully us common people."

"This world is like this! Officials don't care about it"

"Be content and don't let them interfere. Once they interfere, it's all about taxes. They say the Japanese are coming. Now taxes are being collected over and over again. Everyone privately says that officials are busy making money and running abroad."

“You know this too.”

"Alas, I also have fellow apprentices and we have correspondence. Nowadays, officials are all for themselves. They don't care about the lives of ordinary people. They send their children and wives away from home."

“Aren’t you afraid of being cuckolded?”

"What is a green hat?"

"She just found another man to have sex with."

"That's called being romantic. Officials are not afraid of anything. Who doesn't play with women? As long as the children are their own, and the wife is old, they can still have sex for a few more years. Just pretend you don't know."

“You can tolerate this?”

"You are still young. What can you not give up in order to get promoted and make money? Others have used it, so you can just not use it. As long as you have money and power, you will have your own attraction. Money and beauty will rush to you like crazy, and you can't stop them."

“You see clearly!”

Zhang Aiguo gave a thumbs up, he didn’t expect that Dr. Li also had a story.

"Forget it, we've seen these things before when we were young. Get in the car, and let's go to town and buy two bottles of good wine, two live chickens, some snacks, and send them to him."

"Okay, I'll listen to you"

"I will stay here for a long time. I hope you will do me a favor and not cause trouble. Give him a chance to live."

"Where do I start?"

"I am fifty-eight years old this year. When I was young, I traveled all over the country and stayed in government residences. You can't hide it from me."

"what"

"Your gunshot wound was caused by the Japanese. I used to shoot a Jinhoo rifle, and I heard from the soldiers that it is easy to get a hole. If it was a Hanyang rifle or an old slide, your arm would be useless."

"Great, old man, you really are this"

It is true that there are many experts among the people.

"The guns used by the Japanese now still use the same bullets. What are they called? Let me think... Oh, the Tomosaka bullets."

"If I didn't think you were fighting the Japanese, I would have reported you to the town hall long ago."

"Hehehehe"

Zhang Aiguo scratched the back of his head, thinking that age is always more valuable.

Two people were sitting separately on the mule cart. Zhang Aiguo was wearing a straw hat and had an old pipe stuck in his waist.

"Your bike is stable, and rubber wheels are more useful than wooden wheels."

Zhang Aiguo felt that he had no words to express his feelings at the moment. He was grateful that he could meet someone who understood him even when he was recovering from his injury.

"How about I leave two for you when you leave?"

"No, it's harming me. This thing doesn't work. It can't be explained without knowing where it came from."

"I am your nephew."

"That's bullshit. The villagers are fine. But if they get caught up with the detectives and the army, that's the source of trouble."

People kept greeting me on the street, and I am a doctor with good relationships with people.

"Uncle Li, where are you going?"

“Going to town to do some shopping”

"who is this?"

"One of my nephews came to see me"

"Hey, you're so young, why don't you stay for two more days?"

"Yes, stay for a month or so."

"That's right, we finally meet. I'll bring you some food later."

"No, I still have some at home. I haven't finished the ones I sent last time."

"It's okay, tell me when you're done eating and I'll bring it to you."

"okay"

……

"Uncle, you are very popular"

"How can it be bad? Everyone will have illnesses and disasters when they are alive. I also distinguish between relatives and strangers, okay?"

Doctor Li said this unhappily.

"That's right. Everyone gets sick. I have to take care of you."

"My medical skills are well-known in the area within a few dozen miles, but you and I are destined to be together."

"Yes, it's fate"

The town hall, the prosperous areas are always on both sides of the main road, with grain stores, clothing stores, cloth shops, wineries, restaurants, pharmacies, and a brothel.

"My Lord, I invite you"

Zhang Aiguo pointed at the brothel and the girl at the door was throwing him a wink.

"Get lost, leave now, I want to live a few more years"

"Hahaha"

"Look at where you are now? You are still strong and healthy, and there are so many things that can only be said about a pear tree overshadowing a crabapple tree. I will give you money."

"roll"

……

"Come, the wine here is pretty good"

“The dim sum here is also good”

……

At Zhang Aiguo's insistence, they also bought two jars of good wine and snacks for Dr. Li, a lot of miscellaneous things, and also bought a few feet of cloth. The two of them really had nothing to say about Zhang Aiguo.

People are made of flesh and blood. Zhang Aiguo felt that he should give something in return. Giving money was a small matter. There were many people who took the money but did not do the work. He was not a politician, nor an official. He still had a trace of kindness in his heart because he was a living person.

The patrolmen, armed with batons, walked in groups of two or three and began to collect taxes along the way.

"Uncle, why are you collecting taxes so early?"

"Collecting taxes is their main job. This is the first time. They will come again in an hour."

“Isn’t this a duplicate charge?”

"Yes, we won't accept the extra money from those who gave us the first time. We only accept the money from those who don't know the truth."

“Isn’t this corruption and abuse of power?”

"What is the law? What is corruption? You are still young."

"Isn't this a new life and a new government? It's a democratic republic. The newspapers are talking about it."

"It has been like this since ancient times, and it will never change. The officials have the final say. If they ask you to pay once today, you should be thankful. If they ask you to pay three times the next day, you cannot complain. The starting point is all for your own good. What's good about it? It's all in their mouths. Just be content to be alive."

“Are the old society and the new society different?”

Doctor Li smiled. You are young and believe things too easily. Even people get sick and cannot be cured, let alone society. The more terminally ill a disease is, the crazier it gets. You want to live, and others want to live too. It's a revolution, but you can't revolutionize your own life. If you don't believe it, just take a knife and cut it. How crazy would that be?
