In the evening, Tiedan came back with a flushed face from drinking, and even walked a little wobbly.
Seeing that the lights were still on in Xie Tian's room, Tiedan glanced out the window and pushed the door in. He stood in front of the kang table and said nothing.
Xie Tian looked up at him and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Tiedan shook his head: "It's okay, I just want to follow you."
Xie Tian put down his pen and stared at Tiedan and asked, "Have you figured it out?"
Tiedan scratched his head: "It doesn't work either way. I will listen to you from now on. I will do whatever you ask me to do. They didn't scold me and even invited me to drink."
Xie Tian was very happy with Tiedan: "Go to bed and go on a long trip with me tomorrow."
"Hey", Tiedan responded happily and turned around to go out.
Returning to the east wing where he lived with Xiaoman, Tiedan stuffed the two guns in his waist, one under the pillow and the other under the mattress. He took off his clothes and got into bed, holding his head in his hands and staring at the roof.
Xiao Man packed up the front door of the shop and walked back to the house to prepare for bed. He was startled when he saw Tie Dan staring with big eyes. He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Tie Dan's eyes. Seeing Tie Dan's eyes move, he let out a sigh of relief and laughed. : "I thought you were stupid because you were scolded by your boss today. Are you enjoying being smoked by chili noodles?"
A smile appeared on Tiedan's lips, he closed his eyes and retracted his arms into the quilt: "I feel like I've grown up."
"What?"
"sleep."
In the early morning, Tang Haoer, who was dressed in rich clothes, took Xie Tian, who was wearing a satin cotton robe and a fur hat, and walked out of the silk shop with a smile on his arm. Li Banyan, who was waiting with a carriage outside the door, leaned over and said with a smile on his face: "Master, Madam, carriage Ready."
Qin Fen smiled bitterly and approached Xie Tian to persuade him: "How about I go? Taiyuan is too dangerous."
Xie Tian laughed and said: "What a fool, it's not dangerous for you if I go there? I'm going back to my parents' house with my wife, what's going on with you? Just stay at home and lead the team for me. I'll have three days at most." Just came back.”
Qin Fen sighed and stopped trying to persuade him. He had been trying to persuade her for a long time last night but couldn't do anything.
Xie Tian chuckled and patted Qin Fen on the shoulder, then glanced at the beggars squatting in the corner.
When Li Changshun, who was dressed as a beggar, saw this, he quickly stood up and came over and said: "Captain, you are all ready. Several brothers have already set off in advance. We are following you."
Xie Tian's eyes widened and he raised his hand and knocked Li Changshun on the head several times: "Where did you come from? I am the master now. You all don't know me. Do you remember? Do you remember? You stinky beggar, give it to me. Leave far away."
Li Changshun hurriedly ran away with his head in his hands and squatted down among the beggars. He said unconvincedly: "There are no outsiders. I just came to say hello and report to you."
Tiedan, who was following behind with two suitcases, chuckled and winked at Li Changshun: "My master has entered the drama now. He has never been a master. You can cooperate and let him have a good time."
Xie Tian helped Tang Haoer sit on the quilt-covered carriage, turned around and cursed at Tiedan: "You bastard, why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up and load the master's box into the car."
Tiedan muttered as he put the two suitcases into the carriage: "They are so heavy and heavy, and they won't help me."
Xie Tian, who had already sat in the car, glared and cursed: "Have you ever seen a master carry a suitcase by himself? If you don't talk nonsense, I will ask you to follow the carriage to Zhangzhuang. Let's go."
After hearing Xie Tian's order to set off, several beggars squatting at the base of the wall picked up tattered quilts and rolled them into torn sacks and stood up. Li Changshun carried a torn bag on his back, a broken bowl in one hand, and a stick with oily leather in the other. Stick limped ahead, looking like a beggar who had traveled thousands of miles.
These guys dress up as beggars and they act as they are. They reveal their desolation and helplessness from the bottom of their hearts, which makes people feel sad just watching them.
After a while, Li sat on the carriage shaft and cracked his whip, and the carriage slowly walked along the side street and walked out of Dagu Town.
Qin Fen followed the car silently with a few soldiers. Xie Tian was now the soul of their independent group. Xie Tian was going to be away for a few days, and he felt a little weak.
People greeted Xie Tian and Tang Hao'er from time to time along the way, and the two casually responded that they were going out for a walk. However, when others saw the appearance of Xie Tian and Tang Hao'er, they knew that they were going on a long trip.
Captain Xie went out, what if the Japanese came?
The people's hearts were also empty. I don't know since when, Xie Baoqing has become the patron saint of Dagu Town.
Xie Baoqing did not accept donations and did not harm others, nor did his soldiers harm others.
Not only did he not harm anyone, he also helped the people dig tunnels and do some hard work in his spare time.
Where can I find such a good team?
It is true that Dagu Town is a place with no control over the area, but it also means that all forces can control it.
Therefore, Dagu Town pays more in donations than other places, and the mother-in-law pays more.
The Japanese are the most ruthless. They even collect donations and rob things. They will rob the family's food, chickens, ducks and livestock as soon as they see them. Anyone who dares to stop them will be beaten with the butt of a rifle. Liu Laoshi even lost his life for a piglet. .
In the eyes of the Japanese, a Chinese life is worth less than a piglet.
It's better for Xie Baoqing. Since he came to Dagu Town, he has never asked for anything from the people in the town. Not only that, he also taught the people how to read and dig tunnels to save their lives.
The people of Dagu Town have long regarded Xie Baoqing as the land father-in-law of Dagu Town.
Today, the land-gathering father-in-law is going out. Without the land-gathering father-in-law, the common people will not feel confident.
As the carriage left Dagu Town, Xie Tian smiled and waved to Qin Fen who was arriving at the entrance of the town: "Go back, don't act like a bitch, take care of the house for me."
Qin Fen waved his hand with a wry smile, turned around and walked back with the two soldiers around him.
Tang Haoer couldn't help but secretly twist Xie Tian's thigh. This man is really, what's wrong with you ladies?
Tiedan sat on the shaft of the carriage and took out a handful of melon seeds from his bulging pocket and handed them to Tang Haoer: "My godmother eats melon seeds. Xiaoman got up early to fry them, so I can take them with me to relieve my boredom on the road."
Tang Haoer smiled: "I won't eat it, you can eat it."
Xie Tian stared at his eyes and stretched out his hand: "Give me a handful."
A family of three was eating melon seeds and sitting on a rickety carriage, telling jokes. It was sixty miles to Zhangzhuang, and at the speed of the carriage, it would be great if they could make it there in the morning.
There's no way, it's too ostentatious to drive a truck there. Zhangzhuang is the territory of the Japanese. This group of people drive a Japanese truck to the territory of the Japanese. If they don't beat people's heads out of dogs' heads, then they are ghosts.
The carriage walked five or six miles out of Dagu Town. At this time, a beggar came galloping on the road ahead. He ran faster than a rabbit, just like a beggar chasing him from behind.
Xie Tian's expression changed slightly, he dropped the melon seeds and patted Li for a while. Li jumped out of the carriage and stopped with a roar, reaching out to grab the reins to avoid startling the horse.
The beggar rushed over. It was none other than Ge Dazhuang, the deputy platoon leader of the mobile platoon.
Ge Dazhuang waved his hand at Li Changshun, who was about to stop him and asked, and ran directly to the carriage. Out of breath, he held the shaft of the carriage and said to Xie Tian, who had already stood up on the carriage: "Report to the leader, there are three trucks and about one The Jinsui Army of the company is coming towards us, I took a shortcut and ran back, they should arrive in about ten minutes."
Xie Tian frowned slightly, why did the Jinsui Army come to Dagu Town?
"Squad Leader Wang, untie the horse from the harness."
Wang Banshang hurriedly unloaded his horse, and Xie Tian told Ge Dazhuang: "You ride back and report to Battalion Commander Qin, and ask him to lead the troops into the tunnel first, and don't act rashly."
"Yes", Ge Dazhuang took the reins from Wang Banshang, mounted the horse and galloped away.
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye. As soon as Xie Tian finished smoking a cigarette, three trucks carrying soldiers appeared in his field of vision.
Xie Tian ordered in a low voice: "No one should take action without my order. I want to see what they are doing in Dagu Town."
The truck slowly drove over, and Xie Tian stood on the road blocking the way of the truck with his hands folded, and the truck was forced to stop.
An officer with the rank of lieutenant opened the car door and stared at Xie Tian, who was smiling with a smile on his face, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Xie Tian hurriedly took out his cigarette and trotted forward to hand it over. He nodded and pointed to the carriage on the roadside and said, "Sir, the carriage broke down on the road. Look at this guy who is stuck in the middle of nowhere. Can you borrow a board from your boss?" use?"
The lieutenant glanced at Wang Banshang who was tinkering next to the carriage and Tang Haoer and Tie Dan who were sitting in the carriage. He thought of Tie Dan as Xie Tian's son and Tang Haoer as Xie Tian's little wife.
If the eldest wife cannot give birth to such a big son.
The lieutenant took the cigarette and put it on, and said: "We have official business and cannot delay it. You can think of other ways."
"No delay, no delay." Xie Tian hurriedly stepped forward and quietly stuffed a piece of ocean into the lieutenant's pocket.
Oh, you are so generous, you can borrow a wrench and give me an ocean. This ocean can buy a box of wrenches.
The lieutenant chuckled and turned to the car soldier and ordered: "Give this boss a board. Forget it, give him the hammer and pliers too, so that he won't be short of men later."
The auto soldier grumbled and pulled out the tool box from under the seat. Xie Tian accompanied him and laughed, and each one of them smoked cigarettes. Each one of them could hold one, and he was a serious British swordsman.
The lieutenant looked at Xie Tian and smiled and asked, "This boss seems to be running around a lot. Where is he from?"
Xie Tianfengxiao put the remaining half pack of old knives into the lieutenant's pocket and said with a smile: "He is from Dagu Town in front of us. He planned to go to the horse shop to catch up with relatives, but the car broke down as soon as he got out."
Xie Tian deliberately said that he was going to Madian because Madian was an area occupied by the Shanxi-Sui Army, and he said he wanted to go to Madian to avoid trouble.
The lieutenant was indeed not suspicious. He smoked a cigarette and asked, "I heard that Xie Baoqing is in your Dagu Town?"
"Yes." Xie Tian nodded repeatedly: "He owns the Changlong Silk and Satin Shop in the town. This Xie Baoqing is really a capable man. He is a bandit and a businessman. I don't know what he thinks."
What is this guy asking me for?
Are they coming for me?
Xie Tian put a question mark in his heart.
Tang Haoer, who was sitting with his head bowed in the carriage, was originally very nervous, but when he heard Xie Tian's words, he almost couldn't help laughing.
Just ask yourself what Xie Baoqing is thinking and you will know, right?
