Chatting is actually the cheapest way to bring people closer. Now that everyone is unfamiliar with each other, chatting can enhance their understanding of each other.
Xie Tian is very good at capturing useful information from other people's words.
In fact, the time for talking went by very quickly, and before I knew it, only three or two of the dozen or so people were left who had not finished shaving their heads. The leaders who had finished shaving their heads went to the temple to take a shower and have breakfast, feeling clean and refreshed. He also wore new clothes. The refugees were envious and no one complained.
At this time, Tie Dan led a group of children, big and small, from the temple to Xie Tian. Tie Dan said, "Captain, they also want to be soldiers. Let me tell you."
Xie Tian laughed when he saw the group of children in front of him: "I will accept you when you grow taller than the gun."
Hearing the sound, the children rushed to the side to compare their heights with the two warriors who were waiting to have their heads shaved and playing with the three-eight caps. As a result, they were defeated one by one.
The total length of the 38-gai with bayonet is 1.65 meters. The oldest child in this group is about the same age as Tiedan, and is more than a head shorter than the 38-gai.
The child, who was about the same age as Tiedan, looked at Xie Tian unconvinced and pointed at Tiedan and asked, "Then how can he be a soldier, why can't I?"
Xie Tian looked at the child and said, "He has been following me since he was a child. He has nowhere to go without me."
Tiedan exclaimed: "Er Mao, don't be dissatisfied. I have killed people, including Japanese. Have you ever killed them?"
"I", Er Mao's stiff neck softened, and he replied still a little unconvinced: "I dare to kill, but I don't have a chance."
Xie Tian smiled and said, "Your name is Ermao, right? Do you really want to kill the Japanese?"
When Er Mao heard that there was hope, he hurriedly nodded to Xie Tian: "Yes."
Xie Tian laughed: "Well, I will accept your fate as the group leader."
"Really?" Er Mao shouted excitedly.
Xie Tian nodded: "Really, you gather all the children who can run and jump and form a children's group. You will be the leader of this children's group."
Er Mao nodded repeatedly: "This matter is easy to handle. I will call them all over right away."
Soon a group of children gathered, including more than thirty children, large and small.
Xie Tian solemnly took off the military cap on Tiedan's head and put it on Ermao's head. He gave a military salute and said: "From today on, you are the leader of your children's regiment. Your main task is to be responsible for the communication. Go to the main intersection of Dagu Town to stand sentry. Later, let Comrade Xie Jin take you to the town to buy some small whips. If you find that the Japanese are coming, set off firecrackers. After setting off, you can run away and find a safe place to hide. "
Er Mao got a military cap and became the leader of the Children's League. He excitedly followed the example of thanking God and gave a military salute, shouting loudly: "Promise to complete the mission."
Xie Tian smiled slightly and said to Tiedan: "Take them to the town to buy firecrackers, give one to each person, and remember to buy matches for them. Then arrange them near various intersections, especially the intersection from Zhangzhuang to Dagu Town. If you set up a few more tunnels, just follow the method of arranging concealed piles in the village."
Tiedan responded and curled his lips and whispered: "My military cap."
Xie Tian raised his foot and kicked Tiedan on the buttocks and cursed: "Looking at your potential, go find your godmother and sew you a new one."
Tiedan's military cap is an extra-small size and can only be sewn separately.
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. As soon as he mentioned Tang Haoer, he saw Tang Haoer, Li Chunxiang and a few women walking on the road from Dagu Town holding newly sewn military uniforms and laughing. Behind them, there was a group of refugees. Not many, they must have rushed here from other places early in the morning after hearing the news about the porridge soup in Dagu Town.
Gushan Temple is backed by Dagushan Mountain, and its terrain is much higher than Dagu Town. Standing on the steps at the entrance of Gushan Temple, you can have a bird's eye view of Dagu Town.
Feeling sympathy for each other, the refugees at the temple gate saw that another fellow villager was coming, and they all stood up to greet them. The most important thing was to see if any of these people had relatives who had been separated on the way.
After traveling more than a thousand miles away from their hometowns, countless people lost their loved ones along the way.
These days are no different than those of later generations. If they were separated, they would be found just by calling and sending their location.
Being separated these days may mean a lifetime of separation, even if we are close at hand, we may pass by each other.
Tiedan hurriedly said hello to Tang Haoer and ran to the town with a group of children. Tang Haoer looked back curiously and walked up to Xie Tian and asked, "What are these children doing?"
Xie Tian smiled and said: "They have set up a children's group. From now on, they will help us keep an eye out for any Japanese movements outside."
"Children's group?" Tang Haoer smiled: "You are even using children. I just want to tell you something. We women discussed it and planned to set up an organization to help you do something to fight the Japanese. We can’t help much, but we can still do things like sewing, cooking, etc. Please help us think about what our organization should be called.”
Xie Tian laughed and said, "You still need to ask, it must be the Women's Anti-Japanese National Salvation Association, or the Women's National Salvation Association for short."
"The Women's Anti-Japanese Salvation Association, this name is grand." Li Chunxiang said with a smile: "No wonder your Wan'er asked you to name it, you really have something in mind."
Xie Tian smiled and said: "Why do these words sound like curses? Those with food in their stomachs are animals, okay?"
Li Chunxiang laughed so hard that her branches trembled: "You are much more powerful than an animal. I went to your store this morning, and your Wan'er..."
Tang Wan'er threw the military uniform in her arms onto the table and pounced on Li Chunxiang with all her teeth and claws. She couldn't bear it anymore. If she didn't tear this woman's mouth out today, she wouldn't be able to hold her head high in the town.
Xie Tian walked back to the temple with a smile. He didn't want to get involved in the women's fights, not to mention that it was about him, and getting involved would get him burned.
After having breakfast with the soldiers, Xie Tian walked back to the regiment headquarters. Later, he would teach the soldiers how to use firearms. No one could replace him for this matter yet, so he had to do it himself.
Tang Haoer and several women were chatting in the regiment headquarters. Seeing Xie Tian come in, Li Chunxiang smiled at Xie Tian and said: "Captain Xie, we just held elections, and we unanimously elected Haoer to be the president of our women's rescue association. , what do you think?"
Xie Tian smiled and shook his head: "I don't think so. I still have important responsibilities for Hao'er. You can re-elect me. In my opinion, you are quite suitable. I recommend you to your Women's Rescue Association to be the first president."
"Me?" Li Chunxiang pointed at her nose in surprise.
Xie Tian smiled and nodded and waved to Tang Hao'er: "Hao'er, come here first. I have something to tell you."
After walking into the back room and closing the door, Tang Haoer pouted and looked at Xie Tian and asked, "Why don't you agree with me being the president of the Women's Rescue Association?"
Tang Haoer is still very concerned about this women's organization, and she was the first to advocate the establishment of such an organization. Li Chunxiang and others support her.
Xie Tian took Tang Haoer's hand and sat down, smiling and saying, "Are you angry?"
Tang Haoer said bluntly: "A bit."
Xie Tian patted Tang Haoer's little hand and explained: "Speaking of which, the Women's Rescue Association is a peripheral organization of our independent group. I am the leader of the independent group, and you are the president of the Women's Rescue Association. This Dagu Town has become our couple. This is not conducive to development.”
Tang Haoer raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xie Tian. Xie Tian smiled and said: "If we want to go further, we have to involve more people, so as to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm. Resisting Japan and saving the country is not a matter of one or two people. , is a matter for the whole nation, so we must recruit all the forces we can to jointly resist Japan."
Tang Haoer thought of Xie Tian's poem and smiled: "I understand."
This man has such a big heart and sees far. Compared with him, Tang Haoer feels that his perspective is a bit narrow.
Xie Tian smiled: "It would be great if you could also bring Gao Meijuan into the Women's Rescue Association. In a few days, I will take time to visit some nearby mountains and try to bring them into our team."
Tang Haoer frowned: "The reputation of bandits in the nearby hills is not very good."
Xie Tian smiled and said: "No one is born a bandit. Falling into banditry is a forced choice. Don't worry, I will grasp the scale. Even if I don't bring them into our team, I can still guide them to do some things that are good for the country. Things that are beneficial to the nation. My name, Xie Baoqing, is not in vain, and they will give me some noodles."
Tang Haoer nodded: "Be careful. By the way, you just said that you have other important tasks for me to do. What are you going to ask me to do?"
Xie Tian coughed and said, "I haven't thought about this yet. Taking care of the chief's life is also an arduous task..."
"You are beautiful." Tang Haoer stood up angrily, kicked Xie Tian's calf and turned around to leave.
This bad guy, it's not enough to torment him for two nights, he also wants me to take care of him full time.
Xie Tian hurriedly called Tang Haoer: "Hey, hey, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Phew, Tang Haoer has already opened the door and gone out.
Xie Tian rubbed his nose in embarrassment and humor. This girl was quite embarrassed.
Xie Tian packed his things and prepared to go out to teach the soldiers how to use weapons. Several women from the Women's Rescue Association outside were discussing making quilts for the troops and refugees.
Xie Tian had already spoken, and Lin Chunxiang's position as the first president of the Women's Rescue Association was basically settled. However, Tang Haoer was still elected as the vice president at Li Chunxiang's insistence.
