"The old devil Shibahara played Li Dai Tao Zang and Tiao Hu Li Shan. He must be wreaking havoc in Ningbo!"
The fat man took a look at the situation before and after the raid. He already understood and said fiercely.
"Fat man, quickly go to Xiangshan County, find a radio station, notify Ningbo Station, and ask them to protect important places, focusing on strategically valuable targets such as airports and docks..."
"Go back quickly, and send some more people over to pull out these steel nails. These things are so weird that we alone can't handle them."
"Shopkeeper Luo, Brother Guishou and I will go check out the village at the foot of the mountain. We'll meet there when you come back."
Ma Xiaoguang nodded, pointed to a village in the distance at the foot of the mountain, and said to the fat man in a deep voice.
The fat man took a look at Ma Xiaoguang, didn't hesitate, turned around, walked up the mountain road next to him, and walked down the mountain quickly.
"Master, why don't we rush back to Ningbo?"
When Shopkeeper Luo saw this, he couldn't help but asked curiously.
"If the Japanese want to deliberately sabotage, it's too late to rush back now. Fatty's sending a telegram can only be used to make up for the situation..."
"It seems that these steel nails were driven in not long ago. It seems that it cannot be done by one or two people. Let's go to the village at the foot of the mountain to have a look and ask around. Even if we want to remove the steel nails, we need help."
Ma Xiaoguang patiently explained to the two peripheral agents.
When the two martial arts masters heard this, they both nodded in praise.
The three of them cleaned up the scene at the "Eye of the Formation" and went down the mountain along the mountain road.
Looking up the mountain was like running to death. The village was within sight of the mountain, but it took more than an hour to walk.
"Brother, Ala came here to do some small business...he came here to ask for a drink of water."
Shopkeeper Luo struck up a conversation with a villager who was chopping firewood in a small farmyard at the entrance of the village.
Ma Xiaoguang and Brother Guishou pretended to be followers and followed the shopkeeper in a low-key manner.
The villagers were not good at words and looked at the three uninvited guests with vigilance, but did not close the door and let the dogs out.
The honest villager in Badjiao used a gourd to scoop out a ladle of water from his own water tank and handed it to shopkeeper Luo.
"Oh...this fruit is so refreshing! May I ask where your precious treasure is?"
Shopkeeper Luo took a sip of water and continued to chat.
Next to them, Ma Xiaoguang and Brother Guishou watched with cold eyes and said nothing.
"This is Chaijia Village."
The villagers cherished their words like gold and did not say much to the three strangers. They were immersed in splitting their own firewood.
Shopkeeper Luo, who originally planned to chat with this man for a few more words, felt bored and looked at Ma Xiaoguang helplessly, giving up the idea of continuing to inquire about the news.
They thanked the villagers who were busy chopping firewood, handed back the gourd and ladle, and the three of them continued walking towards the village.
From time to time, I met one or two villagers on the road without any hostility, and I could say hello to Shopkeeper Luo from Jilaishu.
However, the villagers are generally not very eloquent, and their dialect is thick, and some of them speak like ducks, so everyone can't talk much.
When the dogs in the village saw strangers, they did their duty faithfully. They bared their teeth and barked a few times, but they were stopped by the villagers in time, and there was no unfortunate incident of vicious dogs hurting people.
We walked around the village for a while.
A thin middle-aged man walked towards me.
"Oh, why did the three guests come to this remote place like ours?"
When the man saw the three guests, he looked surprised and eager, but he spoke Mandarin with a slight local accent.
"We came from Hangzhou to Xiangshan to do some small business. We were a little confused while walking, so we came to your village to bother you..."
Shopkeeper Luo finally found someone who could talk, so he quickly stepped forward and began to make nonsense seriously.
"I am the village chief, Chai Menggui... The three of you are guests from afar, so don't stand here talking. If you don't mind, go and sit at Ala's house."
Chai Menggui greeted the three guests warmly.
"That would be disrespectful."
Shopkeeper Luo rolled his eyes and glanced at Ma Xiaoguang secretly. After receiving a confirmation look, he quickly agreed.
At the village chief's home.
"Old woman, we have a guest, please boil water and make tea..."
As soon as he entered the door, Village Chief Chai asked his wife to greet the guests.
He took three guests and sat down in the main room.
"Now that the war is in chaos, are you afraid that it will be difficult to do business?"
Village Chief Chai took out the tobacco leaves he wrapped in his own house and exchanged greetings with the three guests.
"Oh, isn't it just that... once this war starts, all business will be ruined."
Shopkeeper Luo took over the conversation and took out his cigarette with his backhand and handed it to the village chief.
The local tobacco leaves were so strong that they choked them to death. The three guests couldn't get used to smoking them. They stood up to express their thanks and took out their own cigarettes to return the favor to Village Chief Chai.
After chatting for a while, my wife has boiled water and made tea. The host and guest came and went, and we became familiar with each other.
"The three of you are visiting from afar. Since business is not easy to do, there is no need to be in a hurry. Just rest in our village and discuss business matters in the long run..."
"My mountain village is remote and there is no good food, but I can still feed three people with simple meals."
Village Chief Chai greeted the three guests warmly.
The host was so enthusiastic that the three of them had no intention of leaving, so they agreed after a few polite words.
However, Shopkeeper Luo is also a smart person and will not be ignorant of things. At least he gave Village Chief Chai five dollars, saying it was for food.
Village Chief Chai couldn't resist, so he could only reluctantly accept it.
"We also have a guy who is lagging behind...to handle some business matters. He may be here tomorrow."
"I hope the village chief will inform the villagers to avoid misunderstanding."
Shopkeeper Luo finally lost no time in giving the village chief a shot in the arm about the fat man.
"Haha, easy to say...this is a trivial matter."
Village Chief Chai immediately agreed happily.
After asking the three guests to sit down for a moment, Village Chief Chai quickly went out to find his wife, and quickly killed the chicken to cook and entertain the guests.
Of course, dinner is chicken.
The most high-end ingredients require only the simplest cooking methods.
The country chicken was extremely delicious, and the three guests naturally devoured it.
After drinking and eating, it was already dark.
The village chief arranged for the guests to rest in the side room.
There was silence.
Shopkeeper Luo was already a little drunk and fell on the bed snoring loudly.
"Master, shall we wait here for the fat master?"
Brother Guishou asked Ma Xiaoguang with twinkling eyes.
"Where else are you going? We made an appointment here."
Ma Xiaoguang sat lazily on the recliner, smoking Hardman and said.
"There's something weird in this village!"
Brother Guishou looked around, whispered in Ma Xiaoguang's ear.
Shopkeeper Luo's snoring on the bed stopped for a moment, then continued again.
"It's weird for sure! But we can't act rashly now."
Ma Xiaoguang sat up suddenly, covered his mouth and whispered to Brother Guishou.
