Chapter 360

After searching within a radius of more than ten miles, the Japanese and puppet soldiers still gained nothing. The daily consumption of nearly 10,000 puppet troops forced Masao Sato to announce his withdrawal in a discouragement. The Japanese and puppet troops under Sato Masao were borrowed by him. He could not occupy the command of this army for a long time. If he stayed there, he would probably attract the attention of the national army. The Japanese also understood in their hearts that the idiotic puppet army could not withstand the regular national army's charges several times.

Li Wei felt his eyelids heavy as if he was filled with lead, and he couldn't open it. His body shook as if he was on a train, but he didn't hear the sound of the train's unique rhythmic wheels pressing through the rail joints, and his body's perception seemed to be paralyzed.

In a daze, Li Wei only remembered that in order to avoid the enemy's search, he and Ding Heyang hid in a narrow cave that only allowed two people to hide. They used land and plants to cover the entrance of the cave. The entrance was like the grass and trees that stretched out from the cracks of the rocks. They used reed stems and grass tubes to ensure breathing. They hid for a whole day and night. Taking advantage of the dark clouds at night, they could not see their hands. The Japanese and puppet troops were tired and loose, and quietly walked down the mountain and passed through the encirclement.

The drowsiness in his head almost slowed down his thinking, and the pain on his back was so intense that it took him a long time to realize that the wound scratched by a mortar shell on his back was infected. It would be strange if the wound did not worsen in the hole where the air was not circulating.

"Li Wei, Li Wei!" Someone was calling his name in Li Wei's ear, and his body was gently shaken.

"Don't bother me! I'm sleepy." Li Wei murmured in a low voice. He was content with this drowsiness and fatigue. There was no threat of life and death on the battlefield, no enemies' challenges at all times, and there were no troubles of all kinds, as if he was returning to his mother's arms, his whole body and mind were relaxed.

"Damn it, I'm having a fever!" The voice seemed a little anxious.

"Fever is not a salary. Don't bother me, I want to sleep." Li Wei's mumbling words began to come out, but he had no appetite for food. He just wanted to sleep so heavily forever and completely relax his tired body and mind.

Ding Heyang held Li Wei's fighting thorn in his hand, and trembled slightly, and a stream of pus and blood spurted out of Lao Gao. Ding Heyang squeezed out all the pus and blood in the wound that was inflamed and suppurated behind Li Wei's back despite the fishy smell and dirtyness. Then he rinsed it with stream water and bandaged it with cloth.

Li Wei was softly pulled to the ground. After a strange itch behind him, there was another bone-thrusting pain, and he cursed weakly: "Hey! Damn, who dares to bite me?" His eyes were still not opened, allowing Ding Heyang to cut the swollen pus wounds behind him.

Ding Heyang shook his head and continued his work.

Until a few hours later, Li Wei woke up from his coma and had the strength to open his eyes. He saw Ding Heyang sitting beside him, napping, looking exhausted.

Li Wei moved slightly, and Ding Heyang suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Are you awake?!" He was surprised that Li Wei could wake up so quickly, but this was due to Li Wei's medical conditions. He had been left with many vaccines and antibiotics since childhood. He had no difference in viruses and bacteria in this era, and had never seen the power of vaccines and antibiotics. After the pus and blood were released, the human immune function with the remaining strength began to sweep Li Wei's body. The solid physical fitness advantages he had exercised before were also revealed at this moment.

"I don't seem to die yet?" Li Wei narrowed his eyes, as if he could not bear the strong sunshine.

"Hmph! You can't die!" Ding Heyang said unhappily. He felt uncomfortable when he saw Li Wei's face. The impression left by this guy who had always been unorganized and undisciplined on him was too profound.

"Haha, I'm going to drag you down, it's not considered dragging the party down." Li Wei didn't want to leave any verbal virtue at all.

"You're just talking nonsense." Ding Heyang carried Li Wei on his back and continued his journey. Fortunately, he had been wandering around the mountains with Li Wei and others, and learned some experiences in the wild. During Li Wei's coma, Ding Heyang clumsyly searched for food and tried his best to cover up his whereabouts, so he did not starve to death and trapped in this uninhabited mountain.

At night, he was staying in the corner of the mountain rock. Ding Heyang guarded Li Wei, listening to the howling of countless beasts in the distance, holding fighting spears and rifles in his hands. Even though he was frightened for several days, he could not imagine that if Li Wei died, he would be the only one who would not know how to get out of this vast mountain.

Ding Heyang knew that he and Li Wei had lost his way, but he kept Li Wei on his back and insisted on moving northwest. The Party Central Committee was in the northwest. He firmly believed that as long as he kept walking, he would definitely be able to reach Yan'an.

"I can't tell, you have the strength to do it too! I used to be lazy, I had no future in civil service, and I would go to the battlefield if I was a man. You said that human things are really cheap. Until the critical moment, I will never burst out the potential, right?" Li Wei, who was lying behind Ding Heyang and still had no strength to move, didn't have any intention of being grateful.

"..." Ding Heyang found that he had no language to educate this boy. He had never seen such a bastard who was still willing to make fun of him in this situation. This boy was hopeless. It was simply wrong to let such a person join the party in the organization.

"Don't you want me to die?! Why do you save me? Leave me down. You might have returned to the base area long ago." Li Wei seemed bored while lying down.

"If you talk nonsense, I will throw you down." Ding Heyang threatened. For the first time, he, who has always been a civil servant, has popped up the word "I" from his mouth for so many years.

Li Wei had no intention of letting Ding Heyang go: "Don't throw it away! What if it hits flowers and plants? It would be bad if it hits children! Are you so careless about revolutionary comrades?!" Li Wei seemed to like to tease this dogmatic instructor who has always been very serious.

"You crazy man!" Ding Heyang determined that Li Wei had a high fever and was still talking nonsense.

The mountains that had been slowly climbing for three days in the mountains, Li Wei's physical condition was getting better and better day by day. The wounds behind him began to collect scars under the care of Ding Heyang's daily dressing. Li Wei was able to act with Ding Heyang's support. Although Ding Heyang still could not accept the act of Li Wei cutting off his arm and shooting his comrades, he never thought that he would really leave Li Wei behind.

At noon, Ding Heyang raised his hand and looked away, and saw the shadow of a building in the forest on the hillside in the distance. He turned his head and said to Li Wei in surprise: "Weizi, there seems to be a house in front of us. Let's go and see if we can buy some food for others. It's been a long time since I saw the fireworks on earth."

"Okay! Go and have a look!" Li Wei nodded and rushed in the mountains for days. He could only pick some wild fruits and some wild vegetables to satisfy his hunger. In order not to let the enemy discover it, he did not even dare to set fire to barbecue some cooked food easily.

Both of them were looking forward to a sweet meal for people, and they accelerated their pace to move forward. Half an hour later, they arrived at the place where the house was, but were greatly disappointed to see that there were only broken walls and ruins left in the forest. This was not a complete building, but a broken house that had been damaged for a long time.

"Li Wei, what's wrong with you?!" Ding Heyang suddenly found that the expression on Li Wei's face seemed a little abnormal. He seemed to be infected and did not hear Ding Heyang's voice at all. He just looked at the ruins in a daze, feeling a little lost.

His feet involuntarily walked into the ruins. Li Wei felt familiar in his heart. His eyes looked around with doubts, and suddenly he was frozen at a certain place. He rushed a few steps on his feet and walked to a dilapidated black charred wooden board with only half of the black charred wooden board. The black charred marks on the wooden board were obviously as if they had experienced the baptism of a fire. Li Wei reached out to wipe off the stains and dirt on the wooden board, and the font below showed the following. Although it was eroded by wind and rain and became blurred, it could still be distinguished as the word "Qingfeng".

His heart twitched suddenly. Li Wei looked up at other places, took a few more steps, stroked the broken wall, and tears dripped into the soil. The original undamaged buildings here seemed to be back in front of him again. The quiet Taoist temple surrounded by cigarettes was full of mystery.

"Li Wei, are you okay?" Ding Heyang saw Li Wei's in dismay, and thought he was going to start going crazy again.

"This is where I learned martial arts." Li Wei choked and said, "The man didn't cry easily, but he was not sad. Although he had not been in Qingfeng Temple for a long time, he had a deep affection for this place. He learned the magic refining technique that he relied on to save his life in this chaotic world. Li Wei could hardly imagine that without the selfless teaching and guidance of Taoists such as Taoist Yun Feng, he would almost never have survived nearly a hundred battles, experienced the ultimate killing battles of life and death, and could have been extremely arrogantly on the battlefield, and now he could still stand here alive.

For Li Wei, although he did not have the name of a master, he had the reality of teaching his master. Qingfeng Temple was almost equivalent to a holy land that was like a recreation of his grace. Now the ruined Taoist temple in front of him told Li Wei that this holy land could not resist the invasion of war and turned into a scorched earth, and the Taoist priests did not know whether they were alive or dead.

Ding Heyang also had a solemn expression at the ruins. The place where elite warriors like Li Wei can be cultivated must not be underestimated. However, he did not expect that such a land of crouching tigers, hidden dragons would be destroyed in the fire of war.
