A table of dishes was placed on the small kang table, including pig head meat and sausages wrapped in oil paper that Du Kui bought on the street. There are green peppers, green onions, and new garlic picked from the neighbor Lao Zhangjiayuan's house, which are eaten with dipping sauce.
Huifang was stewing fish in the outer room, aunt Sun Guizhi was sitting on the edge of the kang with her big belly, and Du Kui and Xiao Wuzi were sitting cross-legged on the kang and drinking.
Xiaowuzi was still angry with Du Kui and originally didn't want to talk to him, but Du Kui bought wine and meat to see him as a junior. The key is that he brought Sun Guizhi here, and the fifth son had to see him.
Xiaowuzi was very curious about how Du Kui coaxed the two wives to live in harmony, and Huifang could tolerate Sun Guizhi and be as close as before.
After three glasses of wine, Xiaowuzi, who had no capacity for drinking, was fine, but Du Kui, a figure in the alcohol battlefield, had trouble with it.
"My eldest nephew, you don't know that your uncle's business is really not my fault. The Japanese have adopted a new policy. It's impossible not to go. There were a few who didn't want to go and ran away secretly. They were all caught and shot.
I thought about how I could save my life by working. It’s not easy to stay alive these days. "
Xiaowuzi also knew that Du Kui couldn't be entirely blamed for this. At most, it was because he didn't do anything to stop it, right?
Xiao Wuzi nodded, stretched out his hand and poured another glass of wine for Du Kui. The two clinked their glasses and drank.
Du Kui added: "Your uncle is gone, Guizhi and Xiaolan have nothing to eat. I can't watch them starve to death?"
I admit that I have selfish motives, but you also know that your Uncle Kui has never had a child these years. Doesn't this mean he can have a heir? This is also a matter of convenience.
Your Uncle Kui is not that heartless bastard. If you don’t believe me, go and find out. Has your Uncle Kui ever done anything to disgrace his fellow villagers? I came here today just to have a good talk with you, don't be awkward, we can get along well in the future. "
Xiaowuzi knew that what he was telling the truth was that Du Kui was a good person and had nothing to say to the folks in the village. Xiaowuzi picked up the glass again and said, "Okay, after drinking this glass of wine, we won't talk about the past. We have to ask Uncle Kui to help find out where my uncle was sent. I have time to find someone." try to find.
Huifang brought the stewed fish in a basin, and Xiao Wuzi invited her and her aunt to come to the table to eat together. Du Kui stopped him, winked at Huifang, and asked her to take Guizhi back to the Du family courtyard, saying I want to talk to Xiao Wuzi about some private matters.
After the two left, Du Kui took out a stack of materials from the leather bag beside him and handed it to Xiao Wuzi. He knew that Xiao Wuzi was literate.
Du Kui said while drinking: "My eldest nephew, you don't know yet, but you are being targeted by the Japanese. This is the information collected by the two Japanese who came from Xinjing last time. They all followed you home. You are the last one." Be careful. Try not to stay in Jiaohe County too long. If they can find you here once, they can find you again next time.
But I heard that the two Japanese who came last time fell into the river and drowned when they returned to Jilin. "
After Du Kui finished speaking, he blinked his eyes. Xiao Wuzi looked up at him in shock, his eyes full of questions, but Du Kui smiled and nodded. The two of them had made things clear in silence.
Xiao Wuzi knew in his heart that Du Kui had saved his life!
After talking, Xiao Wuzi also let go of his guard. Du Kui guessed that he came back this time to find Haishan Camp, because Du Kui knew that Haishan Camp was responsible for the last mine riot, and Xiao Wuzi also participated. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Xiao Wuzi disappeared that day.
Both of them drank too much and said some daring words. If Xiao Wuzi wasn't still sober, they almost had sex.
Du Kui left the next day, taking his two wives with him. Xiao Wuzi planned to go to Shulan to inquire about the whereabouts of Haishan Camp. If he couldn't find it, he would have to go east to find the main force.
Three days later, Xiaowuzi returned to Weizi of the Du family. He went to Shulan in the past three days and asked a few people in the world to inquire about the whereabouts of Haishan Camp. They all said that they had seen people in this mountainous area, but the Japanese were spreading a net everywhere, so they fell into a trap when they went down the mountain. Someone went up the mountain to report the news to them, and Haishan Camp has not been seen again since then.
Xiaowuzi had no choice but to come back. He planned to wait a few more days. If he still didn't believe it, he would have to leave. It is estimated that Lao Guo's large army had already arrived at the Soviet border during this time, right?
Xiaowuzi bought a three-year-old horse in Shulan and rode it back. It cost Xiaowuzi more than 200 yuan. Originally, the horse was not worth the money. In recent years, the Japanese economy has been under economic control. Even matches are in the supply system, let alone horses?
Xiaowuzi bought it from Jianghu people on the black market. It would be more convenient to have a means of transportation.
Just half a day after he came back, Master Du sent Sanquan to look for him.
It turns out that just when Xiao Wuzi was trying his best to find Lao Haishan's troops, something big happened to Lao Du's family. The second young master went out to play and didn't come back for two days. He often didn't come home for several days before, so his family didn't pay much attention.
But this time it was different. Someone stuffed a letter at the door of Lao Du's house. There was also a token of the second young master in the letter. The family members panicked when they saw the letter. It turned out that the second young master asked Lao Yeling's beard to be tied up. The time and place were determined, and the family was asked to pay for the redemption, otherwise the vote would be broken.
Mr. Du is a veteran of the Jianghu. He knows that Du Kui cannot come forward because he is a policeman. As soon as he comes forward, he will be regarded as an official, but it will be difficult to talk about it in the future.
Mr. Du couldn't go by himself. If he did, he was afraid that the kidnappers would take him directly. Originally, there was one person in the family who was most suitable to come forward in this matter, and that was the housekeeper Lao Zhu. Lao Zhu is Master Du's servant who has been with him since he was a child. Master Du regards him as a family member and takes care of everything big and small. But at this critical moment, Lao Zhu fell ill. It was very serious and he might not be able to survive a day or two.
There are many gunners in the Du family, but none of them are people who can do things. Sanquan is also a stick, but Mr. Du has no one to use.
Just in time, when he heard that Xiao Wuzi was back, Mr. Du grasped at a life-saving straw and immediately asked Sanquan to invite him over.
The fifth son still respected the Master of the Du family and wanted to kowtow when they met, but Master Du quickly got off the kang to stop him. He was forced to sit down on the edge of the kang.
"Fifth Son, Grandpa Du is in trouble. You have to help Grandpa. Your uncle has asked someone to kidnap our family. These people must be foreign cross-river dragons. The big and small guys in Laoyeling are the same as us. We all know each other. They won’t deny me face like this.
I was thinking that you had worked outside, and you went to chat with them. Our family is not short of money. As long as we redeem your uncle, everything will be fine. My son, if you have done this well, grandpa will not say anything to thank you, just remember that the Du family owes you a favor. "
When Xiao Wuzi heard Sanquan say that the young master was kidnapped, his heart was moved. Could it be that the person who kidnapped the Du family's young master was someone from Haishan Camp? Because they meet these conditions so well.
Xiao Wuzi said to Mr. Du very righteously: "Master Du, don't worry, I will go and talk to them. I will not let anything happen to my uncle."
Mr. Du gave Xiaowuzi a pile of Yuan Datou, "You can take this money first and go explore to see how much they want. As long as it's not too much, we'll give it to you."
Xiaowuzi was not polite, accepted the money, asked about the location, then said goodbye and went back.
The Guandong Mountains are colorful in autumn. The red ones are maple leaves and oak leaves, and the yellow ones are ginkgo and poplar leaves. Walking in this colorful world has an unreal feeling like walking into a dream.
After entering the mountain and finding the designated place, Xiao Wuzi dismounted, raised his hands and shouted into the forest: "I'm here to redeem people." Then he found a fallen tree and sat down to wait for the visitor.
After a long time, there was a rustle in the forest and someone walked out. He was a middle-aged man. He probably came out because he was sure that no one would follow Xiao Wuzi.
When Xiao Wuzi saw this person, his heart was completely relieved. Because he knew this person and it confirmed his idea.
The cobbler obviously didn't recognize Xiao Wuzi, because Xiao Wuzi had changed so much in the past two years. The cobbler walked over cautiously, holding the gun, and asked: "You don't have the guy in your pocket, do you?"
Xiao Wuzi smiled and put his fist on his left shoulder.
"A cloud hangs in the northwest sky, and crows alight on the phoenixes..."
When the cobbler heard that this was not a foreigner, he quickly responded: "After the black clouds, there are white clouds. White clouds and black clouds are all clouds..."
After checking the incision, Xiaowuzi asked with a smile: "Uncle Pi, you really don't recognize me anymore?"
When the cobbler heard this, he carefully polished the little five-piece and said: "Look at the good face..."
"Damn it, you're a little kid."
"You naughty kid, why are you making such a joke with your uncle? I'll kick you to death, you bastard." He raised his foot and kicked Xiao Wuzi's butt.
Xiaowuzi said as he ran: "Uncle Pi, I'm not joking. I'm really the ransom of the master's family. Please take me to see Uncle Haishan quickly. I'm always worried about you. I thought I wouldn't be able to meet you." .”
The cobbler's surname was Lu, and no one remembered his real name. Because he was a cobbler, they all called him Lao Pi.
Lao Pi has been the fragrance of Haishan Camp for a long time, even before Haishan Camp joined the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
They were broken up last year, and Lao Pi went to Mudanjiang with Ergui from Haishan Camp. Later, Ergui was recruited and became the security force of Manchukuo. Lao Pi left the team and returned to Emu. He heard that Lao Haishan was still alive and was recruiting troops, so he immediately brought a few old brothers to join him. They are all old subordinates, and Lao Haishan entrusts him with all matters related to foreign affairs.
The cobbler has become the third in command of Haishan Camp, and the second in command is Zhang Guorui from Guanli. Lao Pi couldn't understand why Lao Haishan trusted this Shandong native so much that he actually allowed his old brother's status to be beneath him.
Lao Pi walked in front, chattering to Xiao Wuzi about trivial matters in Haishan Camp for the past half year.
Xiao Wuzi jumped up and followed behind, and he didn't notice it himself. Only then did he show the appearance of a sixteen-year-old child.
The experiences of the past two years have turned an innocent child into a thoughtful old man.
When Xiao Wuzi saw Lao Haishan, he didn't dare to recognize him. He was so thin that he was almost skin and bones. Both of them burst into tears when they met. The big man hugged Xiao Wuzi from behind. He also burst into tears and said, "Good brother, I thought I would never see each other again in this life. Tell me to go there this year." Where is it?"
