Chapter 25

It was two months later that I had escaped back to Musitang. I had to die all the way, and it was hard to describe it.

In the Golden Elephant Kingdom, I met Dunzhu, who also escaped from death.

He also witnessed the tragic death of the four brothers. We were desperate and had to return to Musitang together.

We only heard after we came back that the counterattack of the Tianzhu Army, which we paid a heavy price of almost annihilated, was defeated again, and another brigade was wiped out, and two brigades were destroyed, and even the Lieutenant General Brigade Commander asked the Demon Cult to capture the prisoners.

The most surprising news was that Commander Enzhu retired in disgrace, and his nephew Wangdui Gyatso took over

Wangdui was the first Tibetans to be trained at the big donor's base. At that time, there was no trouble in Sishui and Liugang.

He is also considered an old qualification, but he does not have the prestige of Commander Eun-joo.

Without the backbone, the people's hearts in the base began to disintegrate, and several different mountains appeared

Wangdui became the commander, and they naturally became the largest mountain in Musitang.

Weapons and supplies provided by the donor are given priority to protect them.

After returning to Musitang, Yexi, who was trained with me, just took people to the border symbolically and retreated to see if the situation was wrong, so he did not suffer any losses.

He was from Hexi. While Commander Enzhu retired, he brought all the brothers from Hexi by his side and became a mountain.

I just escaped from the bloody disaster and saw the military of the sects split. My heart was like a knife

But in Musitang, a barren and cold place, if you want to survive, you can only join us on your own

Otherwise, if you can't get the donor's alms, you will only starve to death

At this time, a group of brothers from Maerkang, Jinchuan, and Dege found me and asked me to stand up and bring everyone together

I immediately remembered Lawang

He was from Danba, and he was the first to rise up and was fair in charge. Kangbei's brothers all obeyed him

Then I suddenly remembered that after returning to Musitang, I had never seen Lawang

Hurry back to our original camp, but what was waiting for me was a bolt from the blue: Lawang is gone

It turned out that three months ago, Rawang took more than 30 brothers to Tibet by Commander Enzhu who was still here and went to Lazi to do activities. Who knew that he would never return

None of the more than thirty brothers brought with me came back

I heard from the old brothers in the camp that there was a news circulating among the herdsmen in the border area: More than two months ago, the Han people dispatched a large number of troops and repeatedly cleared the area south of Lazi for a full month.

It is said that it has surrounded many of our brothers

Most of them were beaten to death, and some were caught

Think about our painful experience in the mountains not long ago, it seems that Lawang is in danger.

There were only a few brothers left in our three camps, and only two or three were left in the flag sacrifice and uprising of the camp by the river.

Looking at the expectant gazes of the brothers who came from Dege, Kangbei, Shannan and Lhasa, I had to grit my teeth and nod my head to agree, and let the brothers in Hedong gathered together

The news spread, and many brothers who had nowhere to settle in other big gangs came here

In less than a month, more than 200 people gathered here

Dunzhu is from Dege, so he came to find me too

Since he was one of the few people who had been trained in the big donor, I let him be my deputy

After the Battle of Zhongzhu, the border gradually calmed down, and the power of the opposite demon army was significantly strengthened.

There are often teams patrolling the border, and they have built outposts at many mountain passes.

After several years of trouble, the brothers have long lost their energy

Just to get the supplies needed to survive, I secretly cross the border from time to time to grab a handful of people to give the donor a mission

Seeing that there was no hope of going home, I was stranded in this place that was thousands of miles away and survived, which made me feel disheartened

I was too lazy to care about anything, I left it to Dunzhu

After being in such a daze for more than a year, the situation is getting worse and worse

Our camp is the smallest group in Musitang. It is always our turn to support us, but the work of cross-border harassment is always our turn to be the turn to be the ones who are on the way across the border.

Even so, life will be almost impossible

The supplies we allocated to us are not enough to fill our stomachs

The airdrops at home are getting fewer and fewer, and the original small helicopter is simply abandoned

I heard that the brothers in Yixi and Wangdui were also starting to go hungry

Winter is coming, and the brothers are unable to eat, and they complain one by one

One day a year ago, a home plane finally came, dropped a hundred parachutes and flew away

The brothers were red when they saw it, and rushed out to compete for the airdrop supplies.

Our brothers grabbed more than a dozen packs and were about to carry them back when the people from Wangdui came and ordered us to hand over the materials we picked up and distributed them uniformly.

Dunzhu became popular as soon as he heard it

Everyone knows that if you give these things to them, you will go there and never return like before.

Dunzhu waved his hand and ordered the brothers to carry the supplies back

The people in Wangdui were anxious when they saw it, and picked up the snatch and blocked the brothers' way.

I don't know who fired the gun first, but both sides got together with real guns.

After more than an hour of fighting, we were killed and eight injured. The other party also asked us to lie down.

When I took the things back, I saw that there were several packs of winter clothes, most of them were food.

With this little thing, we have at least survived the cold winter

But from then on, we had a grudge with the Litang gang in Wangdui.

After the spring of the second year, the situation worsened

The plane at home hasn't appeared for half a year

After barely passing the winter with the food I robbed last time, I never had to help me again, so my brothers had to go out to eat jungle food everywhere

I dare not go across the border, and I can't get any cheaper if I go there, so I just use my brain around Musitang.

As a result, not long after, there were no people or livestock around a hundred miles.

I asked around and some people said that Wangdui and Mr. Stone, the liaison officer of the family, had a breakup, and some said that Stone was expelled by the Golden Buddha Kingdom.

Actually, I know best in my heart: Home provides us with weapons, supplies and training, so that we can go to the opposite side of the border to harass and collect intelligence.

Now, when my brothers mention crossing the border, they are silent. Our crossing activities are getting fewer and fewer, and even if they pass, they will rarely gain anything else.

Moreover, after the Sino-Zhu War, the border area became peaceful

We have no value to our big donor and our home

Of course they don't want to raise thousands of wastes here anymore

However, we still have to survive and find a way out for ourselves

I thought of the Great Dharma King and Kasha who were far away in Dharan

We are their people, we are leaving our hometown and dying for them

Now we can't survive anymore, they will never let death go.

I chose two brothers who had some connections in Kasha and asked Dunzhu to take them to Dalan to ask for help from Kasha.

Two months later, they came back dejectedly, just like my elder brother went to Lhasa to complain to Kashag, and he was shocked.

And they also heard the news that Wangdui had already linked up with Kashag first.

However, Kashag and the Great Dharma King are now unable to protect themselves from crossing the river, and they also have to rely on the great donor to help us. I heard that even the Great Dharma King's food and drink expenses are allocated monthly money. They are unable to help us at all.

Just when we were at a loss, we heard an unexpected news: the Hexi Gang led by Yixi is quietly developing into the surrounding areas of Musitang.

They did not rob food and drink, grab a handful and leave, but lived in peace with the local mountain people.

Their people have begun to be accepted by local mountain people, and some have even married local women and settled their homes in the local area.

We are already desperate, this may be a living way

But when I just revealed this, my brothers immediately exploded

Dunzhu first expressed opposition

They quarreled: We want to fight back to Kangba, and we must not die in a foreign land in this place where birds do not shit.

Don't I want to call back

But back then, with the support of the Great Dharma King, a great donor sent guns and cannons, and he was driven here

Now I'm almost naked, saying that I'm going to hit back is like a fool's dream

I was completely discouraged and simply ignored everything, handed over everything in the camp to Dunzhu, and purified myself.

Who knew that the house was leaking and raining, and before I knew it, a catastrophe was quietly hitting me

Looking back, this devastating disaster had actually come to us for a long time, but it came so silently that none of us knew when it began.

Before we went to the training, some brothers in the camp had some strange situations.

Many people have lepers on their bodies, some are red and some are yellow.

At first, no one cared about it, thinking it was a bad place

Who knew that these lepers are getting worse and worse, many people are starting to peel off, and some are even losing hair.

After we returned from training, some of our brothers had lost their beards and eyebrows, and their whole face turned into a bare and light gourd.

At this time, no one realized the danger

Later, everyone felt something was getting worse

More and more brothers are suffering from this strange disease. The savage grows on the body without any pain or itching, but then it starts to become hard, and it hurts so much as soon as it is touched.

We gave them the antibiotics dropped from home, and it didn't work at all

The situation is getting worse

Some brothers' lepers began to ulcerate, some limbs were shrinking, they couldn't hold things in their hands, and some couldn't even lift their eyelids.

Some brothers' red spots on their faces gradually turn yellow, swollen, and deformed

A human face slowly becomes like a ghost, very scary

Everyone started to be scared

We invited a local doctor to see a doctor. But when the doctor saw it, he was immediately scared and looked pale. He said that this was called ghost-faced madness, which was a bad disease that had been cut off from his sons and grandsons.

Everyone was really scared when they heard it. Someone had heard of this disease and knew it was so powerful.

So everyone immediately built some simple wooden houses in a small hill at the farthest hill in Musitang, and sent all the brothers who were caught there.

Give them some food regularly to let them die

One day when Dunzhu brought his people back from Daram, several brothers sat in my place to chat.

It was already cold, and the fire was burned in the house

This is the treatment that most brothers cannot enjoy

When filling the brazier with charcoal, my hand accidentally touched a piece of red charcoal.

My hand reflexively shrank back, but I immediately felt a strange feeling: my fingers didn't feel hot just now!

My heart sank

I quietly reached into the cold water bucket next to me, but my fingers didn't feel anything at all

I immediately fell into a deep abyss: because I heard that many brothers who are crazy about ghosts start from their hands and feet without knowing the heat.

I pretended to be nothing, and when my brothers left, I immediately collapsed on the bed and couldn't move.

I remembered

In the recent episode, I did feel sore and lazy all over, and my hair was falling off

Have I also been crazy about the ghost face?

The willingness to survive gave me a little luck: maybe it was a cold

I have all been through so many swords and seas of fire. Blessed by Buddha, I will not fall into this little ghost face.

I found all the medicines I could find and took them in order

But the development of things completely destroyed my hope

One morning I woke up and suddenly found a piece of hair on my back

After looking for a mirror, I almost vomited: I had very little left of my eyebrows and eyelashes.

I began to feel itchy all over my body. When I took off my clothes, I saw a large area of ​​leper sores and red and yellow scars appeared on my face.

I was desperate, I knew I was doomed

Brothers discovered the changes in my appearance and began to hide from me one by one

Soon I began to feel weak and couldn't even hold the chopsticks

One morning I woke up, and I felt like my face was burning. After taking the mirror, I was shocked: In the mirror was a big, bare-skinned head, no hair, no beard, and not even eyebrows and eyelashes. My face was red and white, and it was swollen like a swelling bull urine bubble. My nose, ears, and lips were thick and swollen, and it was shattered, and I squeezed my eyes into a thin slit.

It's really a hell!

I smashed the mirror on the ground in fear and shattered it. I was completely desperate.

I reached out to the bed and touched the gun. I couldn't live like this, no one was alive, no one was too bad, I'm going to break myself up

I touched the gun, but my hands didn't have any strength at all, so I couldn't pick up the gun at all

At this time, the door was knocked open, and a large group of brothers broke in, led by Dunzhu

The brothers who had not seen each other for many days stood far away. Dunzhu took a step forward and said to me: Brother, you are very sick, we will send you to treat you. I know where he is going to send me.

I tried my best to say to him: Brother Dunzhu, I won’t go anywhere. Please give me some fun and let me die! When I said this, Zhuoma, the female county magistrate named Tian, ​​Dr. Chen, Tao Lan and women who made the same request in front of me, flashed in front of me.

Now I know what it means to survive or die.

Sure enough, Dunzhu said with a smile: Brother, what are you saying? You can't die. Your disease is still cured. We will send you to treat it... As he said that, the brothers hiding behind them all lowered their heads and came up, pulled my bedding and threw me onto the stretcher, and sent them to the place of death far away from the crowd and isolated from the world.
