Chapter 237: I Want to Eat Meat (Part II)
Several backbones of Zhuang Quan and Sheng Jiu and other two cottages are gathered in Sheng Jiu's tent at this time, and everyone is discussing the future development direction. Now the people of the two cottages together are only about 460 people. This time, Kato's encirclement and suppression caused more than half of their casualties. Although they are still two big bosses now, they have actually merged together, because Zhuang Quan doesn't like to manage a cottage very much, and he is too tired and troublesome.
However, there are good and bad things, after this battle, the rest are more reliable people, Zhuang Quan looked at his side and saw that he was all the henchmen who had been investigated before, and there were also people brought out by Jianmao Mountain.
After the devil took the Black Wind Ridge this time, he immediately killed the Nameless Mountain, after all, the captured bandits were not very firm, and immediately confessed the location of Sheng Jiu's Nameless Mountain, but when Kato killed them, it was already an empty village.
What is gratifying is that Jianmao Mountain has not been discovered, it turns out that those who were captured happen to not know the location of Jianmao Mountain, a few days ago Chen Dong quietly sneaked back and was pleasantly surprised to find that Jianmao Mountain is still the same as before. However, Jianmao Mountain can only be used as a hiding place for themselves, and these people must have a place to stay for now.
Shan Erhu's matter can only be put aside for the time being, there is no news at all, a little relieved, no body of Shan Erhu was found, it is very likely that he is still alive. The most important thing now is where to take these people. When Sheng Jiu reached his peak twice, he was exterminated, which really made him a little depressed.
Now this group of people is not short of weapons, ammunition and daily necessities, after all, they have taken precautions in advance, and now there are more than 5,000 catties of food in the cave. Other daily necessities are also relatively sufficient, and more than 100 people have moved back and forth for several days!
"I don't think the cottage can be built in the enemy-occupied area in the future, it is only a matter of time before it is passively beaten and eliminated, or it is better to migrate to the east, there are many mountains and forests east of Huangqi Town, and they can also echo with Lao Xiao!" Zhuang Quan said his thoughts first.
"Yes, I also feel that the cottage must be built in a three-way area, and it must be easy to evacuate. There were originally a few cottages east of Huangqi Town, but they were all small bandits, and they had long been broken up by the Eighth Route Army, and even if there were now, they were some small characters who did not enter the stream, and it should not be difficult to find a foothold!" Sheng Jiu nodded in agreement.
"Well, don't get too close to the road, now it's no longer as robbery as before, there's no need to get too close to the road, the deeper you hide, the safer. Zhuang Quan said.
"Don't rob, then what will you eat in the future?" "Sheng Jiu frowned and asked.
"Robbing devils! Now robbing a hundred times is not as pleasant as robbing a devil once. And I plan to let Mu Qing Duoduo open some shops in the county and town, which can not only find out the news, but also make some money. "Zhuang Quan has actually thought about the future development ideas.
"Okay, I'll take people to Huangqi Town and find a good mountain. "Sheng Jiu is going to go out in person this time, and he has been staying here for more than ten days, and he is also uncomfortable.
"Bring a few more skilled brothers, now there are wanted notices for the two of us everywhere, and it's not convenient to go anywhere!" Zhuang Quan reminded.
It turned out that although Kato exterminated the Black Wind Ridge and Nameless Mountain this time, he did not catch Sheng Jiu and Zhuang Quan, which made him very unhappy, these two people did not die, and it didn't take long for them to develop and grow, and this time from the description of the captured bandits, the image of Zhuang Quan was drawn, and Kato recognized it at a glance, this person was really the person he had met in the old store of the Tong family, and it was also certain that the mysterious sniper rifle was controlled in the hands of this person. So this time, in addition to the wanted Sheng Jiu, Zhuang Quan was also added, and the pictures of the two were hung all over the streets and alleys, and even the bazaars of various villages were posted with wanted notices. Each of them offered a reward of five thousand oceans, whether dead or alive.
In fact, this time Kato's troops suffered a lot of losses, plus the Imperial Association army suffered more than 200 casualties, and finally let the two bandit leaders escape, which has to be said to be a kind of setback. Of course, when Kato reported to the top, he claimed to have eliminated more than 1,000 bandits and seized a large amount of food and materials, but the grain really captured more than 5,000 catties. Because, the Black Wind Ridge was attacked by a surprise attack, and many things could not be taken away.
Wanted notices were also posted on the markets of Shuangqi Town and Shicai Village, and there were really a lot of onlookers and discussions. At this time, Shan Erhu and He Daxiu are carrying two bundles of firewood to the market to sell, although it is located in a coal-producing area, but ordinary farmers still burn firewood, which is cheap, and the villagers are all big pots and stoves, and it is more convenient to use firewood.
Shan Erhu saw the wanted notice, and couldn't help but be stunned, the two people on the notice looked very familiar, but they just couldn't remember what it had to do with themselves, Shan Erhu couldn't help but stand there and refused to leave, and read out in his mouth: "Sheng Jiu, Zhuang Quan...... Brigand...... Why is it so familiar?"
"Da Meng! do you know words?" Because Shan Erhu couldn't remember his name, He Daxiu gave him such a name: He Dameng. To the outside world, it was said that it was a distant relative who fled from his family, but he also mixed it up. He Daxiu heard Shan Erhu's mouth chattering, and couldn't help but ask in surprise, people in the countryside are all illiterate, including their family, except for their names, they don't know any other words, this He Dameng is very surprising!
"Yes, but why are these two people so familiar?" Shan Erhu replied to He Daxiu absentmindedly, still thinking about his own business.
"Isn't it familiar? These two people robbed the entire town of Fangtong, and the Japanese sent thousands of people to defeat them! Why do you say these people are so bold? Even the Japanese dare to fight, and I heard that a Japanese official was hung in the square, and he didn't even wear clothes...... He Daxiu said more and more in his voice, and at the same time hurriedly pulled Shan Erhu away.
After selling firewood and having more than 20 copper plates in his hand, He Daxiu helped Shan Erhu buy some old cotton clothes, and planned to go back to dismantle and wash and wash Shan Erhu to make a cotton coat, the weather was already very cold, Shan Erhu was still single, and some couldn't bear it.
When he went back, before passing by the wanted notice again, Shan Erhu still kept watching, as if he was obsessed.
"Let's go! Do you want to take those rewards? Don't dream, they're all bandits who kill people without blinking!" Although He Daxiu is illiterate, the content of the proclamation has long been spread all over the world, and no one knows about it.
"How do I think I know them, and I have meat to eat with them!" Shan Erhu said to himself.
"I'm going to die! What are you talking nonsense!" He Daxiu hurriedly pulled Shan Erhu away in shock, and walked to a place where no one was nervously admonished: "Da Meng! Don't talk nonsense, this is going to kill your head! Even if the reward is more, we won't be red!"
"I really know them, but I can't remember who I am?" Shan Erhu still said.
"Don't say it!" He Daxiu picked up Shan Erhu and ran, he really didn't dare to stay any longer, who knows what else he would say.
The two of them ran back to the village in one breath, and as soon as they ran to the door of He Daxiu's house, they saw a person sitting in the courtyard, with Erlang's legs crossed, holding a box cannon in his hand, shouting five and six, He Shuixing and He Shuiwang The brothers stood opposite the person, and drew a circle under their feet, and they were not allowed to go out of the circle if they dared to do so. While drinking tea, the guy was still urging the eldest He Shuixing's daughter-in-law to kill chickens and remove feathers for them to roast chickens. A woman's voice could also be heard in He Shuiwang's room.
He Shuiwang in the circle clenched his fists angrily and wanted to rush into the house, but he was held down by the boss: "Brother, don't be impulsive, you will die if you get out of the circle!"
"Big brother, I'm ......" The second He Shuiwang was angry and annoyed, looking at the provocative bandits opposite, and squatted on the ground helplessly and aggrieved.
"Hehe! You move! As long as you dare to step out of the circle I have drawn, I will make your daughter-in-law a widow! My eldest brother is your daughter-in-law inside, and he can afford you!" The skinny monkey-like bandit shook the gun in his hand and said with a very arrogant smile.
At this moment, He Daxiu ran in with Shan Erhu, and the thin monkey couldn't help but be happy when he turned around: "Two more, you two, come here!
He Daxiu was also frightened by the scene in front of her, don't look at her tall and tall, but she is also afraid of these bandits, and even more afraid of the box cannon that shows off her might. Shan Erhu stared at the box cannon, his eyes lit up, and he had a very familiar feeling, eager to try......
The thin monkey didn't know what Shan Erhu was thinking, first snatched all the money from He Daxiu's body, and touched He Daxiu's chest vigorously, it was really big enough, even a head taller than him, how did this little girl grow? He Daxiu shook off his hand in disgust, and the thin monkey didn't care, and then, he moved to take out the copper plate in Shan Erhu's pocket, and Shan Erhu pushed him away: "What are you doing? This is my money!"
"Yo he, boy, are you impatient, believe it or not, I'll shoot you!" The thin monkey took two steps back, stepped forward and shouted at Shan Erhu again, and reached out and took out a few copper plates from Shan Erhu's pocket.
Shan Erhu was immediately unhappy, I saw that as soon as he stretched out his hand, the thin monkey didn't understand what was going on, and the box cannon came into his hand, and as soon as the gun was in the hands of Shan Erhu, it seemed to be alive, and he was spinning along his fingers, and the one who played was called skillful, and the thin monkey was dumbfounded. Finally, the gun was still on the skinny monkey's head: "Give me back my money!"
"Hey, hey, you can be careful, don't go too far! Uncle, this is your money!" the thin monkey suddenly exclaimed, and quickly returned Shan Erhu's money.
"Well, and hers, theirs, all come back!" Shan Erhu looked at the money in his hand and ordered again.
"Hey, hey, uncle, it's all here! Here you are!" The thin monkey panicked and handed over all the money he had robbed today from his pocket, usually scaring others, but he didn't expect to be put on the head by his own gun today, and cold sweat came down all over his body. It's a broken gun, but it can really fight!
