I used the Mo Dao (a type of long-handled sword) to fight the Japanese.

Having successfully entered the pharmacy, the two quickly closed the door. The room was dimly lit, and neither dared to turn on the light. They lit a match and searched carefully.

The pharmacy had several shelves, but apart from the labels on the medicine cabinet against the wall, which they could understand, they had no idea what the other medicines were. Wang Min told them that penicillin was an injectable medication packaged in a cardboard box. Following the directions, the two quickly searched the entire shelf and found the boxes. There were six or seven boxes, and without a word, they collected them all into a bag next to them.

Seeing that such large bags only contained a few boxes of injections, they decided to go all out and fill them with everything on the shelves. Soon, bags slightly smaller than flour were stuffed full of various medicines, including disinfectant alcohol, syringes, and bandages. Whatever it was, they figured they'd take it all if the Japanese had it!

When the two men carried the bag across the courtyard back to the room where the two women were, they were both stunned! Looking at the bag full of medicine, the same word popped into their minds—robbers!

Well! They're on a sinking ship now! The two of them have already emptied the Japanese pharmacy, so they have no choice but to go with them. If the Japanese find out, they'll definitely target the two of them first!

The four men quickly took off their white coats, climbed out the window, and hurriedly left the area carrying a bag of medicine. They just hoped the Japanese wouldn't discover them for long, otherwise carrying the medicine bag would easily give them away!

Fortunately, it was already past midnight and no one was around. The four of them quickly headed towards Zao Hua's house. Just as they were running down the street, a group of Japanese soldiers came running towards them. The four of them were so frightened that they quickly hid in an alley.

Fortunately, the Japanese soldiers were so busy running that no one paid them any attention, and the four of them escaped unharmed.

"Hurry! Huichuntang's affair has been exposed. We need to pick up Zaohua and leave the city as soon as possible!" Mancang couldn't help but worry when he saw this situation.

"Leave the city? The city gates are still closed in the dark, right? How can we leave the city?" Wang Min suddenly became worried, not expecting that the Japanese had discovered them so quickly.

"Find the jujube blossoms and then we'll figure something out! Let's go!" Manxiang urged.

The four rushed to Zao Hua's house, climbed over the wall, and entered the courtyard. As soon as they opened the guest room door and turned on the light, they saw the little girl lying fully clothed on their bed! While the four were stunned, the little girl suddenly erupted in anger!

"Well, well, you two are really something! Not only did you sneak out to have some fun, but you also brought women home! What? You each took one back to the village to be your wives? You have good taste!" Zao Hua couldn't stay calm when she saw these two bringing two women back. She scrutinized the four people in front of her and said angrily.

"Huh?...Screw you! These two are doctors from Huichuntang! They're coming back with us to fight the Japanese!" Mancang stepped forward and flicked the little girl's forehead, explaining in an annoyed tone.

"Hahaha, sister-in-law is jealous! Don't worry, my brother has always reserved the position of your wife for you! No one can take it away!" Manxiang said with a smile, gently placing the bag on his shoulder onto the table.

"Huh?...Who's jealous!...What are all these things?" Zao Hua knew she had gone off on a tangent, so she subtly changed the subject.

"These are precious things; they're what saved Manxin's life!" Manxiang explained.

"You mean all of this is penicillin? So much?" Zao Hua was taken aback. She knew how precious penicillin was, but she had never seen a whole bag of it before.

“There are other medicines! We can’t have a doctor but no medicine. Who knows, some of the brothers might get sick from headaches or fevers. It’s better to be prepared!” Mancang explained.

"Girl, we should go! The Japanese will probably seal off the city after dawn. Do you have any rope at home?"

"A rope? Yes! What would you need that for?" Zaohua asked, puzzled.

"Climb over the city wall! Going through the city gate is definitely out of the question; the Japanese won't open it for us at this hour. Go say goodbye to your parents; maybe we can bring them to stay in the village next time."

"Alright! But are you sure you can climb over with just a rope? The city wall is two feet high!"

“I have this!” Manxiang said, taking out a claw nail from under the bed, then tapping it on a stone to turn it into a three-pronged hook. He tied a thumb-thick rope to the end, and that was it.

"Hurry up! It's almost dawn, we need to get going!" Mancang urged.

A quarter of an hour later, the five people left the Zhang family courtyard after much advice and reminders from the two elders. By the time they reached the foot of the city wall after many twists and turns, half an hour had passed.

Without daring to delay, Manxiang threw the three-pronged grappling hook onto the city wall, then pulled it back, and the hook caught on the brick, the rope taut. Then, like a monkey, Manxiang scrambled up the wall in no time. The whole process was as smooth as drinking water, leaving the three women speechless with astonishment.

What followed was not easy. The three women were tied around the waist by Mancang, who pushed them from below and pulled them from above. It took a lot of effort to finally get the three women up there, leaving the two brothers covered in sweat!

Getting all five people and the bag of medicine down the city wall proved difficult, and it took the two brothers two trips to finally get the three girls down. The three young ladies were so frightened they turned pale and could barely speak!

……

Just as Mancang had predicted, the Japanese sealed off the city gates early the next morning, preventing anyone from entering or leaving. The military police and puppet troops were all mobilized, searching house to house for the two doctors at Huichuntang. The people inside the city were crowded at the city gates, bewildered and discussing the situation.

"What's going on? What are the Japanese doing? Why won't they let us leave the city?"

"Who knows! They said they were going to search two women!"

"A female doctor? What can two little girls do? Why are the Japanese making such a fuss over two girls?"

"I heard those two girls stole the Japanese soldiers' medicine! Isn't this just throwing mud at them? Why would they steal medicine? To sell it? But someone has to buy it first!"

"That's right! The Japanese are so strict, who would dare to sell medicine openly? If you ask me, the Japanese are just taking their anger out on the girl after their defeat!"

"Who says otherwise! Many shop owners saw it last night! The Japanese soldiers came back in the middle of the night, all wrapped up like bears, and many were lying on stretchers! It was a terrible sight!"

"So the Japanese really suffered a defeat? Who attacked them?"

"I heard it was a group called the Mo Dao Regiment that did it! Right here in Yuguan Town, they killed a lot of Japanese soldiers!"

"Wow? That's a great victory! How many people were there exactly?"

"I don't know! I heard that the fields are full of Japanese corpses! There must be dozens or even hundreds!"

"A resounding victory! An absolute resounding victory! I can't help but go home and set off firecrackers to celebrate!"

"This is cause for celebration! I'm going back to set off firecrackers!"

So on that day, a strange thing happened in the county town. The Japanese blocked the city gates and prevented people from entering or leaving. Instead of being angry, people throughout the town set off firecrackers to celebrate!
