In the village where Gao Huaide brought Little Dustpan first, more than ten minutes later, Little Dustpan ran out and invited everyone to come in.
When Shang Zhen and the others entered, they saw Gao Huaide standing with many villagers.
Only then did Shang Zhen and the others hear Gao Huaide explain how the two gunshots they heard when they passed by that day came back.
It turned out that there was a traitor in this village.
The guy who became the puppet army took a few people back to the village to recruit people, but they ended up having a fight with the people in the village. As a result, their guns were snatched by the people in the village. One was killed and three escaped. .
When Shang Zhen heard this, he looked at the people surrounding Gao Huaide. He saw that there were quite a lot of young and middle-aged people in this village, sixty or seventy people in total.
Gao Huaide explained that the news of the massacre in Meihua Town had spread. This village had a martial tradition and its folk customs were strong.
Since four traitors came and three escaped, the village was always on guard against those who escaped coming back to retaliate, so the nerves were very tight. People were arranged to take turns on duty outside the village, and there were already many in the village. A rifle was stolen, as well as several foreign cannons (local guns).
But now several days have passed, and those traitors have never brought puppet soldiers or Japanese soldiers over, but the people in the village are worried.
Shang Zhen naturally understands this. How can one guard against thieves for a thousand days?
"What do you think we should do?" Gao Huaide looked at Shang Zhen. She also had a headache. It was impossible for her to keep Shang Zhen and the others in this village.
And even if they help protect the village for a period of time, and the other party really comes to take revenge, they don't know how many people will come. They can only defeat the other party but are unlikely to annihilate them all. Then the village will be retaliated sooner or later.
"Let's help them watch for a few days first. If it doesn't work, leave them some good guns. The best way is to let the village arm themselves." Shang Zhen replied after thinking for a while.
"That's all it can do." Gao Huaide said.
Now that the matter was settled, the people in the village were naturally very happy when they heard that Shang Zhen and the others could stay for a few days and would also give them some good guns, so everyone brought out delicious food to cook for Shang Zhen. .
While I was busy working, it got dark.
After dinner, when Shang Zhen was doing nothing in the house, Gao Huaide called him outside again.
"Actually, the Eighth Route Army is building a base area behind enemy lines, arming all villages and setting up militiamen. It's just that it hasn't started here yet. It will be fine after a while." Gao Huaide told Shang Zhen as he walked forward.
"That's really good." Shang Zhen replied.
Now Shang Zhen finally understands that in fighting the Japanese, without the support of the people, it is really impossible to just point at the army.
Some time ago, when the 691st regiment was fighting the Japanese army in Meihua Town, the people in Meihua Town ripped out their own pig pens and transported all the stones and bricks to the walls to build fortifications.
From the current point of view, the blocking battle fought by the 691st Regiment in Meihua Town in Hebei Province was the first time that the Japanese army suffered such casualties, and then the Japanese army carried out a massacre in Meihua Town.
The reason is that although the Japanese army was brutal, it was also because the Japanese army suffered excessive casualties and became angry.
Shang Zhen was talking to Gao Huaide in the dark night, and Gao Huaide kept walking to the east of the village.
Shang Zhen thought Gao Huaide was discussing the matter with him and didn't pay much attention.
It wasn't until the two of them passed through the village and came to the house at the head of the village that Gao Huaide used the dim light from that house and said, "Did you see that warehouse?"
"Huh? I saw it." Shang Zhen replied.
And when he was wondering what it meant for Gao Huaide to ask him to look at a warehouse on this dark day, Gao Huaide had already laughed softly and said, "When you enter that warehouse, someone will look for you."
Shang Zhen was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly understood that Gao Huaide had nothing to discuss with him. He was just looking for a reason to call him out of the room.
It was both funny and touching for a moment, and I finally said quietly: "Thank you, Sister De!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome. You can stay as long as you like. It's not cold now anyway." Gao Huaide whispered, and then he turned around and walked away.
Shang Zhen's heart, which was originally as calm as water, suddenly became hot.
Sure enough, when he walked to the door of the warehouse and stretched out his hand to open the door, a familiar voice came from inside: "Who?"
Hearing that voice, Shang Zhen smiled and replied: "Guess!"
So when he entered the dark room, someone heard the sound and came over, and it was Leng Xiaozhi!
There were rustling sounds in the darkness. The warehouse of the sentiment family was still a woodshed, with soft wheatgrass piled inside.
"You know how to find a good place!" Shang Zhen hugged Leng Xiaozhi and laughed softly as he lay on the pile of wheatgrass.
"How did I know? This was all the idea given by Sister De." Leng Xiaozhi said shyly.
"This matchmaker is good!" Shang Zhen laughed.
"Why did the matchmaker say something so unpleasant, calling him Old Man Yuexia?" Leng Xiaozhi corrected him. After all, he is a cultural person.
"Okay, you are sir, I listen to you." Shang Zhen said.
"Why am I sir?" Leng Xiaozhi expressed surprise.
"You have read books for so many years, and people from all over the world may not be able to find a person like you. If you are not a gentleman, who is the gentleman?" Shang Zhen said.
"That's true, but don't call me sir now." Leng Xiaozhi said hurriedly.
"Why?" Shang Zhen asked.
"If you call me sir, I will be embarrassed to lie in your arms." Leng Xiaozhi said.
After Leng Xiaozhi said this, Shang Zhen fell silent.
"Why don't you speak?" Leng Xiaozhi asked curiously.
"You can't say it. If you do, you'll get pinched." Shang Zhen chuckled softly.
"You tell me, I won't pinch you." Leng Xiaozhi was curious about what Shang Zhen wanted to say.
"I'm embarrassed to lie in my arms now. I think back then -" Shang Zhen made a long sound and stopped talking.
"What were you thinking about?" Leng Xiaozhi understood the meaning of Shang Zhen's words as soon as he heard it. Shang Zhen wanted to laugh at him. No wonder Shang Zhen refused to say it.
"I remember back then I took the initiative to carry you on my back just to get along with you. I even took the initiative to give you my photos just to get along with you. I even took the initiative to put my hands under your clothes to tickle you." Shang Zhen chuckled.
"Bad guy! See if I don't pinch you!" Leng Xiaozhi couldn't tell that everything Shang Zhen said was ironic.
The two of them were able to get along, and there was no doubt that it was Leng Xiaozhi who took the initiative.
Even though Leng Xiaozhi looks very feminine, she is a woman who takes action when it's time to take action.
Northeastern men have rough personalities, so how can women not be hot and fiery?
As he spoke, Leng Xiaozhi actually inserted his hands into Shang Zhen's clothes.
"Pinch gently. If I scream, my fellow villagers will come out of the house and think there's a thief!" Shang Zhen felt as if his prank had succeeded.
But when Leng Xiaozhi's hand really reached into Shang Zhen's clothes and touched the scar on Shang Zhen's body, he became gentle.
"I owe you four lives, and now I owe you a scar, so I can't bear to pinch you." Leng Xiaozhi said, rubbing the scar on Shang Zhen's body with his hand.
"No, don't give me these scars back. It doesn't matter if I, a grown man, have scars on my body. It would be bad if you, a woman, have so many scars on my body." Shang Zhen responded.
"Who dares to say this? Anything will happen if you fight against the Japanese. Now, take advantage of this -" Leng Xiaozhi climbed up to Shang Zhen and whispered in Shang Zhen's ear.
"What are you doing now?" Shang Zhen felt Leng Xiaozhi's breathing next to his ear, tickling him.
"While you're still naked now." Yang Xiaozhi's voice became weaker and weaker.
At this time, Leng Xiaozhi didn't know that Shang Zhen was sighing in his heart, a man chases a woman across a mountain, but a woman chases a man across a brick wall!
Then Shang Zhen's arm really moved, but what he said was: "I just covered my hands."
(Note: Wheatgrass, after the wheat is harvested, the ears are cut off, and the remaining part is called wheatgrass)
