Chapter 62 The Moon of Yesteryear
Away from the battlefield, the students, who had been on edge, finally breathed a sigh of relief. But they remained silent, tending to each other's wounds. Their injuries were not serious, and they knew a little about basic medicine, so treating them was not a problem.
The school teaches simple hemostasis and first aid techniques, which came in handy at this time.
Those who were seriously injured were the guards and workers protecting them. Even Zhang Mingyuan was hit in the shoulder by shrapnel. There were no good medical supplies on the vehicle, so the students could only help stop the bleeding.
Cheng Youmin was the first to speak, "Captain Cai, where are we going?"
Cai Huai wiped his gun, not even looking up, and said, "I can go anywhere, just not back to Shanghai. Going back would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den." Who knows if there are Blue Shirts members lurking in the city?
"But our families are all in Shanghai. What if they arrest our families if we run away?" They are not afraid of death, but they dare not think about what would happen if their families were to be implicated.
Once the first person spoke, the remaining students became bolder and couldn't help but chime in with their own chatter.
Zhang Mingyuan lifted his eyelids and said weakly, "I have destroyed all the data. No one knows they work for the arsenal. Cai Huai, drive into the city. When the time comes, find a secluded place for them to get off."
Turning around, Zhang Mingyuan continued to speak to the students, "As long as you keep this a secret, no one will come looking for you, but the best way is still to leave Shanghai with your families."
Of course, if someone wanted to use this skill to get a job in the Kuomintang, he wouldn't regret saving people today. Even if he hadn't saved them, these students wouldn't have died. It's just that at this moment, they are standing together.
The students' faces lit up with joy. As long as they could go home, nothing else mattered. Besides, they had saved a lot of money working in the factory, so moving wouldn't be a big deal.
Yun Ai Ai held the baby silently. In the pitch-black night, there was a bright light. Her eyes were as black as the night, but without any light.
In the end, everyone except Yun Ai'ai and her brother and a tall male student named Xu Ping'an got off the bus. The workers also got off the bus. Cai Huai looked at Zhang Mingyuan with a puzzled look in his eyes. Those workers were obviously not ordinary workers.
Zhang Mingyuan shook his head slightly, indicating that he would talk about it later.
"Brother Huai, I saw Xiao Yang's car!" A soldier who had just gotten out to relieve himself jumped into the car, his voice filled with anxiety.
Cai Huai immediately ordered his driver to go and intercept them. He had clearly told Xiao Yang to drive Xie Ning and the others to wait for him near Xiaping Village in the far suburbs. How did they end up here? Could they have been caught on the way?
Xie Ning was also surprised that they would meet Cai Huai and his group here. She had asked Xiao Yang to drive back to the city, but she did not go into the city. Instead, she dropped off the Wang brothers outside the city and asked Blind Wang to do one last thing for her: to deliver a letter to Ms. Lin Qin, Cheng Youmin, and some students living in Shanghai.
"You're very thoughtful. However, Lieutenant Zhang has already destroyed all the factory's documents, so the Blue Shirts Society shouldn't be able to find those students' homes." Cai Huai carried the simple-minded child out of the truck. The truck was bumpy, so it was better for the child to ride in a car.
Yun Ai'ai naturally went with them, while Xie Ning let the pale-faced Xu Ping'an sit in the passenger seat, while she stayed in the truck.
Xu Ping'an's eyes still held shock. "Sir?"
Is this tall woman with a high ponytail their husband? Xu Pingan couldn't believe it. Not to mention Xu Pingan, Yun Yuanyuan was also shocked, but after the surprise came a deeper respect.
"What? You don't even recognize the gentleman? Hurry up and leave."
After shoving both students into the car, Xie Ning retorted to Cai Huai's earlier statement, "Even if Brother Mingyuan destroyed all the materials, the Blue Shirts Society has been lurking in the factory for so long. Do you think they wouldn't have secretly investigated and followed the students?"
Hopefully, those people haven't realized what's happening yet, and the students will listen to advice and move out as soon as possible.
Zhang Mingyuan was surprised to see Xie Ning take out a set of scalpels and medicines from his bag. He hadn't expected Xie Ning to bring medical supplies with him when he ran away; he was truly farsighted.
Xie Ning is no longer the person who could only use a silver hairpin to remove bullets and didn't know how to suture. Whether it's shrapnel in Zhang Mingyuan's shoulder or bullets in other soldiers' legs and arms, Xie Ning can remove them easily, suture them, and apply medicine in one go.
The longest surgery was performed on a soldier who had been shot in the abdomen. The location was not good, and the soldier had already lost too much blood. At this point, it was impossible to give him a blood transfusion because Xie Ning did not have the equipment for blood transfusions. He could only do his best to save him, and whether he could live or die depended on fate.
Xie Ning was surprised to realize that it was already daylight when the first rays of dawn shone on her face.
Cai Huai walked to Xie Ning's side, seemingly talking to her or muttering to himself. He never expected that Chen Jian would be the one to betray him. After all, Chen Jian had followed Commander Cai during the first Eastern Expedition and was a very close elder to him.
To be honest, Chen Jian's betrayal was a huge blow to him.
Xie Ning didn't know how to comfort her for a moment, but a doubt arose in her heart: "If Chen Jian, as Commander Cai's confidant, has betrayed us, what about the others?"
Cai Huai was startled and immediately asked Zhang Mingyuan to contact Commander Cai by telegram. When they escaped, they also brought the radio with them.
"How is it?" Cai Huai felt uneasy for some reason.
