Chapter 814 Businessman, Translator, Quinine(1/2)
"Squad leader! It's up to you! They're running over!"
Tan Shouzheng, who was lying by the pond, asked slightly panicked. Perhaps because of his nervousness, his accent was so thick that Wei Ran could hardly understand what he said.
"Wipe it!"
Squad leader Liang also subconsciously spoke his hometown dialect and raised the box gun in his hand.
"You can't shoot. The chasing group hasn't gone far yet. It's easy to draw them here by shooting now."
Wei Ran, who was lying next to the stone, reminded calmly, "When they get closer, we will catch them directly."
"Yes! Wei Ran is right!"
Squad Leader Liang nodded hurriedly, and Qin Shouzheng, who had already aimed his rifle at the visitor, immediately put the gun aside.
As the distance between the two sides got closer, Wei Ran and the other three gradually saw clearly that the two people running over were covered in mud, and one of them seemed to have an injury on his arm, so that when running, he had to use
The other hand firmly pressed the biceps.
"stop!"
The moment the two men supported each other and ran past the big rock where they were hiding, Squad Leader Liang raised his box gun and shouted at each other, "Raise your hands, I dare to turn around and kill you with one shot!"
It was obvious that both of them understood Chinese. After they stopped in unison, they immediately raised their hands in no particular order. But at the same time, they each secretly turned their faces to see who had stopped them.
.
However, before they could see anyone's face clearly, Qin Shouzheng, who ran out one after another with Wei Ran, had already put a ball of mud on the face of the man with the injured arm. At the same time, Wei Ran also
He used a gravity knife on another person's neck.
"If you don't want to die, just be honest."
At the same time as Wei Ran reminded him, he had slightly put away the gravity knife and lightly kicked the opponent's knee socket. As for Qin Shouzheng, he was even simpler. After using the mud lake face move, this
Without even saying a word, the young soldier tripped the man with an injured arm to the ground, grabbed the back of his head with his hands, and pressed his face directly into the mud.
"Help! Ahem! Oh no!"
The man who was pushed into the mud tried his best to hold up his face with his uninjured arm and spoke with difficulty. However, the severely changed Chinese intonation made Wei Ran and the others immediately realize that this man seemed to be from outside.
Variety!
"Squad leader, he seems to be a foreigner!"
While Qin Shouzheng was speaking, he already grabbed the hair on the back of the man's head and lifted his face up, "Take that male turtle in your mouth! He's really a yellow-haired one!"
"Must be British!"
Squad Leader Liang almost gritted his teeth and said, "Tie him up first, and remember to see if he has any weapons on him."
"Who are you?"
It was only then that Wei Ran asked the man who was still holding the knife against his neck - even though he already had a rough guess in his heart.
"Businessman"
The mud-covered man raised his hands and replied stiffly. However, before Wei Ran could ask any more questions, he took the initiative and asked, "Are you a team from China? Are you sent by China to fight?"
The little devil’s army?”
"Are you Chinese?" Wei Ran asked with raised eyebrows, "What's your name?"
"Zhou Guochang, my name is Zhou Guochang." The man immediately replied, "I am a Chinese who grew up in Oxygen!"
"Are you Zhou Guochang?"
Wei Ran grumbled secretly, put away the gravity knife in his hand, raised his hand and pointed at the man who had been dragged to the roadside by Qin Shouzheng for body search and asked, "Where is he? Who is he?"
"He is my boss, he is an Englishman."
"My boss? What does he do? What's his name, and what do you do?"
Wei Ran reached out and took off the cloth bag that was slung on the opponent's back, then rummaged through the opponent's body and took off a hatchet from the opponent's waist, and then took off the wooden grab box on the other side of his waist.
"He is Mr. Luke from the UK. He is a businessman, and I am his Burmese translator." Zhou Guochang seemed to be particularly cooperative, but Wei Ran vaguely sensed that the other party was deliberately hiding something.
"what business?"
As Wei Ran spoke, he had already thrown the other party's baggage and gun case on his shoulders, and pointed at the big stone on the side of the road, gesturing for the other party to come over.
"Ore Business"
Zhou Guochang answered as he walked over there with his hands raised, "Sometimes I also do the spice business. I do whatever makes money."
"Jade?" Wei Ranhun asked nonchalantly.
"I do some occasionally," Zhou Guochang replied honestly.
"Someone was chasing you just now?" Squad Leader Liang asked after taking over the conversation.
"Some" Zhou Guochang and the old British Luke looked at each other before continuing, "They seem to be some Japanese."
"What are they chasing you for?"
While Wei Ran was speaking, he had already opened the baggage he had just captured. At the same time, Qin Shouzheng also opened the rucksack he had taken off from Campbell.
"Luzi!"
Qin Shouzheng cheered in surprise, and then pulled out a Browning high-power pistol from the bag.
"They want to steal our stuff"
Zhou Guochang quickly replied, "We escaped all the way from Tonggu. The Japanese also chased us all the way from Tonggu."
"what?"
Wei Ran asked while checking the baggage. Apart from a set of clothes and a British army water bottle, the only treasures in the baggage were two boxes of 9mm handkerchief bullets and a Japanese soldier wrapped tightly in extra cloth.
Officer's lunch box.
Carefully opening the rectangular lunch box with a handle, Wei Ran couldn't help but frown. What was inside was actually life-saving medicine related to malaria!
The most numerous items here are small glass bottles, each containing at least twenty or thirty quinine pills with slightly melted sugar coating.
In addition, there were bottles of Liang Peiji Chill Pills with pink packaging, and small glass bottles containing cinchona cream.
These life-saving medicines filled this weird-looking lunch box to the brim, and even the few gaps were filled with rice grains that could serve as a buffer and absorb moisture.
“These are the medicines.”
Zhou Guochang pointed to the biscuit box that Wei Ran had re-covered, and then pointed to Qin Shouzheng, who was still playing with the Browning high-powered pistol, "There's one in that canvas bag, too."
Upon hearing this, Squad Leader Liang immediately pulled open Qin Shouzheng's bags and personally took out identical Japanese officer lunch boxes and opened them one by one.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, the products contained in this product were all more expensive in this era, but their side effects were far less toxic than quinine pills.
"Where did you get so much medicine?" Squad Leader Liang asked seriously, tightening the lid of the lunch box carefully.
"Mr. Luke is engaged in trading business," Zhou Guochang took the initiative to explain. "These medicines are all goods he has hoarded before."
"Where are you planning to go?" Wei Ran asked the second question.
"Mr. Luke wants to chase the escaping British team," Zhou Guochang explained, "He wants to leave here with them."
"these drugs"
"It's what I paid for"
Luke, who was like a mud monkey, took the initiative to explain before Squad Leader Liang finished asking, "Zhou's father is my business partner, and these medicines were prepared by Zhou for you Chinese soldiers."
Seeing Wei Ran and the other three looking at him, Zhou Guochang waved his hands in confusion, "Before the battle in Tonggu ended, I heard from the soldiers who fought there that our expeditionary force was very short of medicine to treat malaria.
So I just"
"Let's not talk about it for now," Qin Shouzheng, who had been playing with a pistol just now, asked, "Since you have guns, why don't you kill the people who are chasing you?"
Zhou Guochang pointed to the wooden gun case still in Wei Ran's hand, "Those Japanese who are chasing us have traps in their hands. With these two small guns, there is no way we can fight head-on."
"It's a waste of time," Qin Shouzheng cursed in a dialect that Wei Ran couldn't understand but could roughly guess.
"I'm not afraid of death"
Zhou Guochang obviously guessed or understood what the other party was saying, and just said in a calm tone, "But after I die, these medicines will be taken away by the Japanese, and the medicine will be taken away, and everything will be meaningless."
"Now is not the time to quarrel." Squad Leader Liang waved his hand, "Where are you going?"
"Mr. Luke is going to Muncie."
Zhou Guochang wiped the mud from his face and replied, "He said there is a warehouse left by the British there. Only if I send him there can I get the remaining half of the more expensive medicines."
"But Manxi Town is behind you," Qin Shouzheng couldn't help but remind him, "it's in the direction where those devils are blowing."
"We plan to go to the town in the south first."
Zhou Guochang pointed to the direction where Wei Ran and others came from, and said clearly and coherently, "The two horses we are riding are dying. We need to find two more horses there, and Mr. Luke was also hit in the shoulder."
The gun needs quality. By the way, we can also take the opportunity to lure the Japanese away, and then rush over when they realize that we are not in Mansi."
"We also want to go to Muncie, why not"
"no!"
Zhou Guochang scolded in a stern voice, "Those medicines are for saving lives of soldiers! If you three want to take it for yourself, I will fight you to the death!"
