He Daqing, do you know how I've lived these past years?

"what"

"Senior Brother"

"Brother You, how could this happen?"

Jingxian and Mulan, who were watching the car from the foot of the mountain and were on guard against the Japanese soldiers, saw Leyou covered in wounds and a dead tiger. Their minds went blank, and they excitedly asked the others.

"Alright, you two take turns carrying him and lead the way to the county town,"

"Jingxian, Mulan, don't panic. The most important thing now is to get to the county town to find someone to stitch up the wound, otherwise it will be very serious."

"Yes, yes, the master is right."

Upon hearing this, Jingxian frantically tried to start the motorcycle, but it stalled as soon as she moved forward. In desperation, Jingxian lay on the motorcycle and burst into tears.

"Hey, Mulan, you ride. Huang Ying, you guys follow. I'll go with them. Hurry up!"

After saying that, the master and several people lifted the hindquarters of the tiger and put it into the sidecar, while the upper half lay horizontally on the back seat of the vehicle. They tied it up with rope and set off.

"Sister Xian, don't worry. Senior Brother has fought countless battles and seen so much life and death. He'll be alright."

"You sit in the sidecar, I'll drive, follow behind your master."

"Yes, that's right, hurry, hurry!"

Upon hearing Mulan's words, Jingxian quickly got out of the car and took Mulan's hand, saying...

And so the group slowly made their way toward Gilju.

……

Before they even reached the city gate, a gong and drum sounded from the tower, and a squad of soldiers, rifles in hand, rushed out of the gate and shouted to the crowd:

"Who are you people? Get off the bus slowly."

Master jumped out of the car, grabbed Leyou's clothes and threw them at him, saying:

"These are the blood-stained clothes of Kuomintang soldiers! Why aren't you moving aside? Find a place and call a doctor to treat them!"

The captain, who had opened the blood-stained shirt, looked at the epaulets on it, then glanced at Leyou, who was being carried by the hunter.

He then carefully examined the machine guns on the two Land Kings and the giant buggy.

He took a deep breath, made way, and sent his team members to inform their superiors and, incidentally, the doctor.

Brigade Commander's Office

After listening to the soldier's report, the officer in his seat kept tapping his fingers on the table.

"Two Land Cruisers,"

"Two men and three women"

"That shouldn't be the case. Logically, he should be in Hunan by now, not still here with serious injuries."

"Guard, take me there."

"Yes, sir!"

When the officer arrived at the room where Leyou was being housed, he was told that a doctor was inside treating his wounds and performing stitches.

Just as I was about to push the door open, I heard a shout:

"Cheng Xiaozi"

The officer was startled, and quickly turned around to look.

"Oh my, Uncle, it really is you!"

"But didn't you go to Chengdu? Why are you still here hunting tigers?"

"An unexpected situation arose; your brother killed that tiger with just a knife."

"Oh? If that's the case, it will truly resound throughout the country. Throughout history, how many people have been able to kill a tiger with just a sword?"

"I will immediately inform Lixing and the National Daily."

Uncle, you have no idea, besides the suffering of the Japanese devils, the people here also suffer from this tigress.

Even our previous attempt to hunt it down in the mountains failed, and it even caused the deaths of several people.

"Guard, you stay here and await my uncle's orders."

After saying that

Turning away, he hadn't gone far when he turned back, pulled his master aside, and whispered:

"Uncle, you caused quite a stir in Qiancheng before, but I can handle the others here."

But be careful, one special envoy. If he comes looking for trouble, have your guards come find me.

"Okay, then go ahead."

After finishing his speech, the master continued to sit cross-legged opposite the doorway.

……

The next day, the streets were filled with the shouts of children weaving through the crowds.

Newspapers for sale!

The tiger in Xishan was killed.

"Newspapers for sale!"

Upon hearing the sound, the moving crowd immediately came to a halt.

"What"

"and many more"

You said the tiger died.

……

Seeing the crowd gathered around him, the newsboy laughed and shouted, "Newspapers for sale!"

Give me a copy

I also want

I'll have one too.

……

At that moment, a loud slamming sound came from an office inside the provincial government's temporary headquarters.

A series of vicious curses came from inside:

"You little brat, you dared to mess with my woman and run away, yet you still dare to linger on my turf! Why don't you let the tiger eat you!"

"Someone, call the doctor who treated the patient over here."

On the table that was photographed, Tang had a newspaper open, with a photo of Le You in military uniform on it, followed by a densely packed description:

"Happy Travel"

His courtesy name was Weiguo, and he was born in 1928 in Ji'an Township, Guangdong Province.

In 1942, they began resisting the invaders at the Beidi Temple. Later, they repeatedly seized grain from the enemy to relieve the people, but ended up losing half an ear of grain.

He later studied at National Sun Yat-sen University, never forgetting the grievances of his family and country.

He fought bravely across the province, battling the enemy, and lost his left ear in the process.

He went to Yunnan to participate in the counter-offensive, was hit by several bullets but did not retreat, and killed more than a hundred enemies. He was promoted to captain and earned the nickname "Little Mengchang".

Later, he entered the Huangpu Rongcheng Military Academy, where he rescued people in many places in Guangxi and Guizhou, led battles, and killed dozens of enemy soldiers.

In Shaoguan, he and his teammates covered the students' retreat, fighting to the death and annihilating half an enemy company, suffering heavy casualties. Reporters confirmed his reputation as a "minor hero."

He then fought in various places in Jiangxi and Jiangsu, leading the people in a counterattack, saving the lives of thousands of people, and was seen off by hundreds of people when he left.

Today, on the road to Jizhou, a lone swordsman single-handedly slew a scourge upon our city in the western mountains: the Great Tiger Mother.

This feat has been accomplished by only a handful of people throughout history, comparable to Wu Song, a reincarnation of Xiang Yu.

To avenge the more than one hundred people in my Jizhou who were killed by the tiger.

The gentleman deserves the bow of the entire city; he is a man of chivalry and righteousness.

As a friend and neighbor, you should be considered a minor chivalrous person.

For the sake of the country and its people, you should be hailed as a great hero.

……

Meanwhile, more and more people gathered in front of the ambulance, and some even knelt down to pray for blessings.

Hearing the commotion, the master came out and, after seeing what had happened and understanding the situation, was also moved to tears.

"Fellow villagers, please rise quickly!"

"Now that the country is in peril, and the land is in ruins, it is the perfect time for men to make their mark and achieve great things. Why not take up a sword?"

All that my disciple did was right; it is the duty of a soldier.

"Everyone, please don't be alarmed, and leave quickly."

After hearing what their master said, many young men below shouted loudly:

"While our virtues and achievements may not match yours, we too know the meaning of conscience."

"If you leave without the gentleman thanking you in person, how are you any different from that beast?"

The master looked helplessly at the energetic young men standing outside the door and said:

"It's not that I'm unwilling to let him meet you."

My disciple has killed the tiger, but he is still unconscious.

I'll talk to him in detail when he wakes up, and I'll definitely give everyone an explanation.

Looking at their master's clear face, the young men discussed among themselves...

He then turned and kowtowed to the elders around him in farewell, before shouting to Commander Cheng, who was rushing over:

"Though we are but ordinary men, we know propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame. We also harbor deep hatred for our families and our country, and we are well aware that soldiers from all over the world sacrificed their lives to save us."

Cities across the country were massacred, and women and children were raped and abused everywhere.

Today, we bow in gratitude to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for us, and we kowtow in apology to those who died trying to save our lives.

We, the youth, are willing to emulate our ancestors and serve our country.

I wish to follow the example of my elders and join the army to fight against powerful enemies, never to return until I die.

I wish to emulate Mr. Yue's chivalrous spirit and courage, and serve my country and its people.

I do not seek to die on the battlefield, but only to kill all my enemies!

"

The enormous sound shook the heavens and the earth, and countless young men knelt and kowtowed in all directions.

Seeing the young men with their foreheads flushed red, Commander Cheng excitedly shouted for the conscription office to come and register them.

The scene was lively.

……

Inside a house at the government's temporary encampment

"pata"

A sound of shattering glass rang out at the feet of a doctor in a white coat.

"Do you believe I'll make sure you don't leave this door alive today?"

The man in the white coat, trembling, said:

"Sir, it's not that I don't want to go, but his men are everywhere around here, especially that old Taoist priest."

He knows the properties and forms of Chinese medicine, and even has some knowledge of Western medicine. There's nothing I can do about it.

"I don't care. If I don't hear of his death by tomorrow morning, your entire family of five can no longer live in this world."

"Don't tell that guy surnamed Cheng. I'm not afraid of him. Even if he can protect you, what about your family?"

For example, your wife commits adultery?

Or perhaps your eldest son was hit and killed by a car for no reason?

Or is it that your youngest son has been abducted and can't be found?

Or do you want to try to get the whole city to wrongly accuse you of disregarding human life and brutally killing the wounded?

All of this is within my control; you just need to seize the opportunity.

Go on!

"Yes, sir"

The doctor, covered in cold sweat and trembling, walked out of the room. He accidentally tripped and fell to the ground, drawing laughter from the soldiers guarding the door.

The doctor quickly got up and walked towards the door.

They quickly arrived at the medical center, hurriedly grabbed a syringe from the bottom of the cabinet, drew out an unknown liquid, put it in their pocket, and rushed towards Leyou's ward.

As the doctor listened to the conversations of the nurses around him, his pace slowed considerably.

Only after stopping and listening carefully did I understand what had happened while I was away.

His face showed struggle, his hands were clenched tightly for a long time, and finally he let out a long breath and slowly walked towards the Leyou ward.
