Xiaowuzi was supposed to go west along the river, enter the Songhua River through the trumpet mouth, and then go north. In winter, the rivers are frozen, but it becomes the best way to travel. Guandong people like to drive horses and sledges on the ice in winter, which is steady and fast.
But there are many people walking on the ice road, and there are many checkpoints. Beards, puppet soldiers, and Japanese soldiers may stop you at any time, and they will use all kinds of clever pretexts to ask for things and money. You can only suffer the loss of being dumb.
The Japanese were looking for Xiao Wuzi. He did not dare to take the main road and had to cross the mountains again. But he was used to this kind of life, so he left Diaohechuan and headed north into the mountains. We walked to the afternoon and stopped in a leeward ravine. Pick up some firewood and light a fire to keep warm.
Before leaving, Wang Xi gave him a bag, which contained large corn flour pancakes, salted fish with green scales, and some dried meat of unknown origin. These are things that can be stored for a long time.
Xiaowuzi took a branch and put on a big pancake and baked salted fish on the fire. He sorted out his thoughts. The first thing he needed to do was to find an identity. You can't get on the train without a good citizen's certificate. Because he has to go to Xinjing. The wound will be almost healed after a few more days of healing.
He tore open the lining of his cotton-padded jacket, took out the information in his arms and read it twice, then threw it into the fire and burned it. He didn't need to remember this person. Just remember the password. This matter cannot be rushed, but it must be completed. Even if we only find the person, it is still half of the task.
Now he has two guns and a knife on him. The horse-branded gun has two magazines, which Wang Xi seized from Fukada's house. The box cannon and dagger belong to the cannon head Li Zhuzhu. The gun is very new and has enough bullets. , his original leg fork curled up when killing people. Li Zhuzhu is worthy of being an old gunner. His weapons are all the best, and even his daggers are extremely sharp.
Xiaowuzi planned to find his uncle. This uncle was not his biological father's brother, but his godfather's brother and cousin. His uncle's surname is also Liu, his given name is Liu Youde, and his nickname is Liu Xiaodian'er. In the Northeast, Xiaodian'er means stingy and stingy. Liu Xiaodianer can do things for free, and he will definitely not spend any money. Wherever you can walk, never take a car. The clothes are all patched up, so keep wearing them. However, if you dig your teeth, you will never be confused when doing big things.
A few years ago, Liu Xiaodian'er moved his family from Huadian to Jiaohe River and settled in a small village by the Songhua River called Dujiaweizi.
The big landowner here is the old Du family, and the head of the family is called Du Dahan. He has a silly name, but he is extremely shrewd. The land around the village belongs to his family, and Liu Xiaodianer rented several acres of land from his family for farming. Hunting and fishing during the off-season were also very difficult.
After Xiaowuzi finished eating, he put out the fire and continued on his way. When he went down the mountain, he found that he was being followed. The person following him was not a human, but a lone wolf. Probably attracted by the smell of grilled fish. Xiaowuzi didn't intend to pay attention to it at first, but the wolf was still far away in the dark sky. Xiaowuzi was a little angry. You are seeking death on your own, but you can't blame me for being stupid.
Xiaowuzi stopped, took out a match to light a fire, and then took out the fish to grill. After a while, the aroma filled the air. The wolf was probably hungry. Although he was cautious, he came closer and closer. Xiaowuzi loaded the box gun and waited for it to come over. After waiting for a long time, the wolf slowly came over. When the distance was very close and he could clearly see the saliva flowing from the thin wolf, he raised his hand and almost didn't need to aim. Bang shot. The wolf was shot in the head and fell over without making a sound.
Xiaowuzi stepped forward and dragged the wolf corpse over to take a look. It was too thin and skinny, and it could only produce about twenty kilograms of meat. He took out his knife and began to peel off the skin, break up the meat and wrap it in wolf skin. After a while, it was frozen into a lump. Seeing that he couldn't get it, Xiao Wuzi cut down a few branches and tied a sledge with a rope. Afraid that the binding would not be strong, I melted some snow water and poured it on the rope, which made it strong as soon as it froze. It is very labor-saving to tie up the wolf skin, put it on the sledge together with the sash, and pull it forward.
This time Xiao Wuzi did not go into the snow cave because he found a hunting shack on the mountain. This kind of shack can often be seen in the mountains of Guandong. There is firewood and fire inside, and some also prepare some food, so that passers-by can stay when they come. When leaving, prepare as much firewood, water, food and other items as you can. If you don't have any conditions, reinforce it or prepare some firewood. Xiao Wuzi blocked the air leakage areas with pine branches to reinforce them, and slept particularly soundly that night.
The next morning, we walked to a large village with a hundred households. The weather was a little cloudy, but not cold. It seemed like it was going to snow. It happened to be market day, and the village was very lively, selling everything. Xiaowuzi had money, so he first bought a wooden sledge. The one he built himself was too crude. Then I bought a bundle of yellow cigarettes and a jar of wine. A bag of sticky bean bags. There are also matches, candles, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, etc., all tied to the sledge. He was pulled to the west. The place he wanted to go was by the Songhua River. He had to go to the river first and then go north.
It was already afternoon when we arrived at the riverside, and it started to snow. He had to leave quickly, otherwise he would have to sleep outside if it got too dark. The snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger, and the river was covered in misty white, with no pedestrians visible. Xiaowuzi put down the ears of his hat and walked forward in the wind and snow.
As he was walking with his head down, he heard a cry: "Stop, what are you doing?" Xiaowuzi saw these three people from a distance. He thought they wouldn't come to trouble him because of the heavy snow, but he didn't expect them to come anyway. Judging by their attire, they were puppet soldiers from Manchukuo. Two were carrying large guns and one was carrying a bundle of wires. They must have come out to set up telephone lines. Seeing that Xiao Wuzi was alone and pulling a sledge, he suddenly thought of extorting money. If it didn't work, he would rob it. Anyway, there are no people on the riverside. Xiaowuzi stopped and said, "We are on our way. It's snowing heavily. We have to leave quickly." The guy asked again, "What's on the sledge? Is it supplies to the anti-bandits?" It’s a given. Xiaowuzi planned to give them some money to send them away, so he said: "It's such a snowy day, the big brothers are working hard. Brother, here are a few dollars, and the big brothers can buy a pack of cigarettes." After that, he took out five dollars from his arms. Zhang handed over a one-yuan note. One of the men carrying a gun took it but said nothing. But the man carrying the wire said: "Where are you from? Do you have a good citizen certificate? Leave the sledge for inspection." He looked at the sledge greedily while speaking in an official tone. It seems they are not satisfied yet. Xiaowuzi added: "It's all oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. If you don't believe it, look at it." He pulled the sledge and kicked forward, and the sledge slid over. But the man said: "Come here, we want to search you." Xiao Wuzi put his right hand into his lower back, opened the safety of the cannon box and said, "I've given you the sledge, can you help me?" The three guys saw that he was a fat sheep. He must be robbed. He said: "Stand there, don't move, take out all the money." When Xiaowuzi saw this posture, he couldn't be kinder today, and he couldn't do anything. Those three people never expected that they were fooled. They were really resisting bandits, and they were murderers who killed without blinking an eye. Take advantage of them to untie the rope. Xiaowuzi suddenly pulled out the cannon and fired two shots. Although the snow was heavy and affected the sight, there was no need to aim at such a close distance. The two men with guns were both shot in the face and fell to the ground in the snow. The incident happened so suddenly that the remaining guy was so confused that he forgot to run away. Xiao Wuzi didn't tolerate him, so he raised his hand and gave him a shot. Xiaowuzi originally had excellent marksmanship and was straightforward. The distance is so close, it's a wonder if we can't hit. These people are so damn hateful.
After looking through them, I found that these people's pockets were cleaner than their faces and they didn't have a dime. Only half a pack of cigarettes and a box of matches were found in the pocket of the man carrying the wire. There is another certificate. This thing seems to be useful, so I put it away without looking at it carefully. Then he dragged the three corpses onto the sledge and walked toward the river. He had to find a place to destroy the corpses and eliminate any traces.
After walking a long way, he saw the place he was looking for. There were often people digging holes in the ice to catch fish on the river. There was a pile of chipped ice on the originally flat ice. This place must be an ice cave. Xiaowuzi hit the newly frozen thin ice with the butt of the big gun several times, and water came out after just a few hits. The three corpses were passed in, but the two guns and a bundle of wires were left behind. In the past, these seizures could be recorded as meritorious deeds, but who would be asked to record them now?
Before dark, Xiaowuzi finally found his destination based on memory, and vaguely saw a quiet small fishing village in the heavy snow. Dujiawei is a small village, with fifty or sixty households. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the village is full of farmers and fishermen.
Xiaowuzi first went around to the back mountain to hide the gun and wires. Just as he was about to enter the village, he saw a little girl struggling to pull a sledge, branches, straw and other firewood, and also walked towards the village. Xiaowuzi saw that she was struggling to pull her, so he stepped forward to help her push her away.
As he walked, he said: "Sister, let me ask you, where does a man named Liu Youde live in this village?" The little girl was about twelve or thirteen years old, dark and thin, with a pair of big eyes that showed intelligence. Listening to Xiao Wuzi's question, he stopped and looked at him, and asked warily: "What do you do? Why did you come to his house?" Xiao Wuzi said: "That's my uncle. I'm from Huadian. I'm here to visit him." A door." The little girl looked at him carefully in confusion and said, "Why don't I know you?" Xiaowuzi suddenly had an idea, took off his hat and revealed his face and said, "Are you Xiaolan? I am you. Brother Xiaowu!" Xiaolan was stunned for a long time, then stepped forward and grabbed Xiaowuzi's left hand, rolled up his sleeve and saw the scar, tears suddenly overflowed from his big eyes.
"It's really Brother Xiaowu. They all said you were dead. I thought I would never see you again!" Xiaowuzi said hurriedly: "Sister, don't cry, don't I live well?" Seeing Xiaolan's face turned cold She turned red and put the leather hat on her head and said: "Take me home quickly, I'm starving to death." The two tied the sledge together and walked home laughing.
