Lao Yang and the others looked at the pier where Xiao Lin fingered, except for their own boat, the edge of the pier was already empty. Lao Yang didn't show surprise, as if he expected it. He said, "I told you yesterday that he was a little strange, right?" ”

"That's it, Brother Pole still said that there is something strange." Before Xiao Lin could finish speaking, Lu Gang interrupted him: "Didn't you also say it, and you still said me." ”

Lao Yang looked at the surrounding river and said, "Let's go, go to the town and have a look." ”

The timber-framed houses were lined up on two sides, and a not-so-wide road stretched straight ahead, most of the doors on both sides were closed, and it was snowing outside, and from the outside the windows the shadows of the fire flickered, and perhaps the people in the house were around the fire and were baking the fire. Walking further on, I saw a group of little boys playing in the snow together, laughing, but it brought a little life to the town, they were rolling in the snow, and they were having snowball fights in the hustle and bustle.

On the door of one of the rooms on the left hangs a plaque with four words: Shatou snacks.

When they entered the house, they felt so warm that the boss saw the guests and beckoned them to sit down.

Lao Yang asked for a few steamed buns and steamed buns, and the three teachers and students started eating.

Lu Gang didn't forget what the hotel said yesterday, he asked the boss while eating: "Boss, I heard that there are devils here?" ”

The boss didn't answer immediately when he heard this, he looked outside the door, he put his hand in front of his mouth, and sighed, before he said carefully: "Young man, don't talk about devils outside, call Taijun." ”

"Don't be wordy, my brother asked you if there are any devils here?" Kobayashi didn't care about the boss's careful tips.

"Yes, yes, it's in a big house in the east, where it turned out to be a rich man's house, and in May of the 32nd year of the Republic of China, after the devil came from the Yangtze River, he stayed here." The boss saw that Xiao Lin was angry, and he hurriedly said carefully.

"Is there still a Yanmar?" Lu Gang asked the boss.

The boss even said yes, yes. He also said that the horses were so big and tall that they were kept in a stable in the backyard where the devil lived. Specially managed.

Lao Yang, who had been listening, raised his head and asked the boss with a smile: "How many devils are there in that yard?" Where do the puppet soldiers live here? ”

The boss also told them one by one. There is no difference with what the boss of the hostel Zheng said, it seems that these people still have scheming, of course, maybe they are all doing business. They didn't ask any more, they were all thinking about their own little calculations.

Lu Gang wanted to kill the devil.

Kobayashi wants to rob the devil's Yanmar.

What Lao Yang thinks about is what to do next? How to connect with the local guerrillas, and how to eliminate these little devils entrenched here, and restore the peace here.

"Boss Huang, do you have one of Missy-Mixi?" At this moment a voice came from outside the door, and as soon as the words were finished, a chubby man entered, with a dark glasses, a round nose, and a black beard across the round mouth. He was dressed in a pseudo-military uniform and a short gun was slung cross-legged to one side.

Lu Gang only knew that the boss's surname was Huang. At this time, when Boss Huang saw the comer, he quickly put away his smile and said unhappily: "I said Captain Zhao, I don't know how many times I have told you, you and I are both from this town, from the villagers, in front of me, why don't you a Chinese speak in your hometown, do you have to say these ugly Japanese words?" If I hear you talk like this tomorrow, don't blame my brother for cutting off your cigarettes and alcohol tomorrow. ”

When he heard this, he quickly laughed and said, "Boss Huang, I'm also talking about playing, it's really fucking boring here, and it's boring to be with those Taijun, so I just learned a little." Don't be annoying, hurry up and get the wine, the snow outside is so heavy, it's really cold today, let me take a few sips and warm up. ”

Boss Huang answered, and was busy preparing for Captain Zhao. At this time, Captain Zhao saw Lao Yang and the three of them sitting in the corner eating steamed buns, looking very unfamiliar, and there was no one in this town he didn't recognize. At this time, he couldn't help but walk up and ask Lao Yang why they hadn't seen them?

Lao Yang ignored him and continued to eat steamed buns. I knew very well in my heart that Captain Zhao in front of me must be the head of the puppet army. Before Lao Yang could think of a countermeasure, Captain Zhao spoke again: "What about you?" Mute? Where did it come from? "He's getting a little impatient.

Lao Yang didn't panic, he stood up and said with a smile: "Captain Zhao, we don't know Taishan with our eyes, we don't know that you are here, and we are disrespectful." ”

"Outsiders. What are you doing here? Captain Zhao heard Lao Yang's Sichuan accent.

"What do we have to do with you here?" Lu Gang took a bite of the bun and said slowly.

Captain Zhao was unhappy: "This is my territory, I am in charge, you strangers have arrived here, I don't know, how can this be true, Boss Huang, you come here." ”

Boss Huang has already come over with wine and food. Captain Zhao said, "Who are they?" Do you know? ”

Boss Huang shook his head and said he didn't know.

Lao Yang said calmly: "Don't hide it from Captain Zhao, we came here yesterday, we are guys on the ship, and today the owner of the ship went to do errands first, let us wait for him here." ”

When Boss Huang heard this, he hurriedly said that there was such a thing, and the boat owner came to him last night for a supper and drank some wine.

Captain Zhao seemed to believe Boss Huang's words, took the wine in his hand and sat on the table, Boss Huang put the cooked food in front of him, and said quietly: "I said Captain Zhao, they were really bold just now, and they dared to call the imperial army a devil." ”

Captain Zhao looked at Boss Huang and then looked at Lao Yang and the three of them who were drinking porridge, and said to Boss Huang, what is love called, it's my egg business. Raised the wine glass and took a sip, sipping the food, Boss Huang saw that Captain Zhao was only eating, so he couldn't say anything, so he was busy with his own affairs.

In fact, Boss Huang's words still made Captain Zhao take it to heart, and he looked at Lao Yang and them from time to time while eating, until Lao Yang and they got up to settle the account, and when they went out of the snow outside the door, his eyes never left them. Seeing that they were going out, he hurriedly took a few bites of food, drank all the wine in the cup, and went out without caring about Boss Huang.

The origin of these three people is unknown, and he has to watch out. Captain Zhao kept his distance, stepped leisurely in the snow, and followed behind Lao Yang.

Lao Yang went out, and at this time, there were a lot of people moving on the street, and their footsteps made a rattling sound on the snow. The three of them rubbed their hands together and walked slowly forward. At this time, a group of little devils came to him, and Lao Yang could see that they were patrolling.

Let them walk forward as they go, they didn't notice that Captain Zhao was following them in the snowstorm.

"Look, Brother Pole, Teacher Yang." Kobayashi said cautiously.

Needless to say, Lao Yang and Lu Gang both saw it.

They walked not far from the rich man's compound, where the devils had set up a guard in front of the door.

Lao Yang grabbed Lu Gang and the others, who were going to continue going, turned around and left, but met Captain Zhao.

Captain Zhao saw that he didn't have time to dodge, so he had to catch up with them, and said with a smile: "Why did you go back again?" You have to be careful outside on this snowy day, if you accidentally let the imperial army arrest you, it won't be easy to do. ”

"Captain Zhao, where did you come from? We're just walking around here, and we're not doing anything, so we won't be caught by your Taijun. Lao Yang said with a calm smile.

"That's that, that's too." Captain Zhao thought for a moment as if he wanted to find something, and then asked, "I heard Boss Huang just say that you called the imperial army a devil, is there such a thing?" ”

When Lu Gang heard this, he stepped forward and looked at Captain Zhao and said, "What if you call it?" ”

"You, if you call, I can arrest you." Captain Zhao saw the anger on Lu Gang's face, and he was also angry and was about to touch the gun.

Lu Gang didn't believe in evil, and said impulsively: "You dare? After speaking, he was about to rush forward to Captain Zhao.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lao Yang hurriedly blocked Captain Zhao's hand and Lu Gang's body, and said with a smile: "Captain Zhao, what do you think you are doing here?" If you want to deal with these few people, they don't understand things, you don't care, they are all Chinese, isn't this world just turning a blind eye and being busy living? Captain Zhao, it's over, it's over, forget it, adults don't care about villains, the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, I look at your blessed face, good people have good rewards, you must not let them accidentally say things to anger their bodies. After speaking, he patted Captain Zhao's chest.

Captain Zhao listened to Lao Yang's words and retracted the hand that touched the gun. looked at the tall Lu Gang and said: "Hmph, you kid, you kid has a fierce face, I tell you this kid, don't let me touch it again, if you do, I have to let the imperial army teach you a lesson, believe it or not?" ”

Lu Gang was about to speak, but Lao Yang grabbed Lu Gang, told Xiao Lin to go quickly, said hello to Captain Zhao with a smile, and followed Lu Gang behind.

Captain Zhao looked at their departing backs, hateful in his heart, and he scolded softly: "The little bastard of the dog day, dare to play majestic in front of Lao Tzu." Wait and see. After scolding, he went back to the team headquarters, and found a few puppet soldiers to talk about it, and several puppet soldiers said that they supported Captain Zhao when they heard it, and said that they stayed in this nest every day and were bored, so it was good to go out and find something to do, scatter their hearts, and find some people to have fun, not to mention that there were three people on the other side. These people are all local, have a friendship with Captain Zhao, and grew up together. They decided to vent their anger for Captain Zhao and discussed going to the "Water People's House" inn in the west at night.

Lu Gang walked on the way back to the inn, still did not sink the anger just now, and said to Lao Yang: "This dog's surname is Zhao, Lao Tzu really wants to punch him into meatballs and throw him into the river to feed the fish." ”

"Brother Pole, otherwise, I'll go to his nest tonight." Xiao Lin also agreed with Lu Gang's words, but what he wanted was to go to the puppet army's nest, and the scene he was thinking about was even bigger.

"Nonsense. It's really nonsense, something that doesn't grow a braincase. This place is not familiar yet, so why are you impulsive? Is it so breathless? You think it's only the one surnamed Zhao there, do you think it's still in the mountains? Ah, there are devils and puppet armies all around, you don't want to think about what if something happens? Life is unfamiliar, fooling around. Get back. Lao Yang reprimanded them.

"Teacher Yang, are we just staying here?" Xiao Lin asked after letting Lao Yang finish scolding.

Seeing that Teacher Yang was angry, Lu Gang hurriedly smiled and said to Xiaolin: "That's it, Teacher Yang, we have to stay here for a long time, and I have to go back to see my parents." After being scolded by Teacher Yang, Lu Gang did not complain, he knew Teacher Yang's temper, and it would be fine if he was scolded.

Sure enough, Lao Yang didn't dwell on this matter anymore, he replied: "We can only wait, after someone comes to meet us, we can only make plans again if we join up with the local guerrillas." "He doesn't know when? He could only follow the orders of the chief, he must find the local anti-Japanese forces, and then assist the friendly forces to eliminate the Japanese devils entrenched in this area. Where are the allies? Where are your own people? He didn't know at all.

"When is this going to be, Mr. Yang?" Kobayashi muttered. Lu Gang smiled and said, "Teacher Yang, you wait here, Xiao Lin and I will go back to give incense to my father and sweep the grave." ”

Lao Yang didn't say anything after hearing it, and he didn't approve or object. When passing by Boss Huang's shop, Lao Yang asked Xiaolin to go to him and ask him if he could deliver food to the inn. Boss Huang said that the store is a small business, there are not enough people, and he never delivers takeaways.

It's the only way to go, the inn doesn't care about the food. After leaving the "Shatou Snack" shop, when he passed the dock halfway, Lao Yang glanced at the pier, which was still empty.

The three of them walked and talked as they walked and walked back to the inn in the snow.

Lao Yang saw that it was still early, so he talked with the boss, whose surname was Zheng and he was from the town. From his mouth, I knew some details of Captain Zhao. Boss Zheng told Lao Yang that it was best not to deal with this kind of person, he was a scoundrel who had milk and was a mother, don't mess with him, save yourself from being burned. also said one thing, Captain Zhao asked him for protection money or something, but he didn't give it, but went to his mother's house and robbed a bag of rice and a fish for the New Year, and said that he was a little angry when he thought about it, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs and he could only swallow his anger.

After saying this, Boss Zheng asked him strangely why he asked about this? Lao Yang smiled, got up and said, "Just ask." Today it was this guy and the guy surnamed Zhao who stood up. ”

After all, I didn't take this matter to heart. When he had nothing to do in the afternoon and was bored, Lu Gang called Xiaolin to go to the dock again, and their small boat was covered with a lot of snow, swaying with the ups and downs of the river on the riverside.

Looking at the vast river, Lu Gang thought of his sister and his parents, and the idea of desperately going to see his parents became stronger and stronger.

Dinner, like Chinese food, was picked up by Kobayashi. During the meal, the boss told them that he wanted to go back to his mother's house, today is his mother's birthday, please help him guard the store here, if he is idle, there is chess. Lao Yang smiled when he heard this, nodded and said, it's okay, we are here, Boss Zheng, you are really filial. The boss's mouth was open happily, telling them to close the door when they were going to sleep, and then call them again. After saying that, he went out and disappeared into the snowy night.

Lao Yang looked at his departing back thoughtfully.

After a long time, they didn't see Boss Zheng come back, so they closed the door and went to sleep. Just as they were about to undress and go to bed, suddenly, there was a fierce knock on the door.

They were wary. Lao Yang walked to the door and asked who it was? Boss Zheng's voice came from outside the door: "It's me, open the door quickly." ”

As soon as he entered the door, he hurriedly said to Lao Yang: "Hurry, run, Captain Zhao is going to arrest you with someone." ”

It turned out that Boss Zheng had dinner with his mother, and after chatting for a long time, he said goodbye to his mother and rushed to the store, but when he passed by Captain Zhao's team headquarters, he saw Captain Zhao walking out with some people. He heard it clearly, it was Captain Zhao's voice: "Brothers, arrest those three strangers for me, I have to teach them a lesson, don't let them run away, especially that tall man." ”

Boss Zheng was shocked when he heard this, isn't this Captain Zhao calling someone to arrest the people in his shop? This is not good, looking at Lao Yang, they are not bad people. Wasn't that guy going against him? Thinking of this, he hurriedly ran towards the riverside along the riverbank, rushed in front of Captain Zhao, knocked on the door and told Lao Yang that Captain Zhao was coming to arrest them.

Just as he was about to take them through the back door for them to run, Lu Gang stopped him. He said, "What's the use of running at this time?" Since he came, Lao Tzu was not afraid. ”

Lao Yang also said: "Boss Zheng, if we run away, won't it hurt you, this guy is right, we didn't do anything to him?" I'm afraid that he will really come to arrest us, don't be afraid. ”

When Boss Zheng was about to persuade them to leave, Xiao Lin grabbed him and said, "You have to be afraid, you run by yourself, don't worry about us, it's none of your business here." ”

Boss Zheng coughed, and was just about to go to his room, when a few puppet soldiers ran in outside the door, and surrounded them in the center of the house with loaded guns and ammunition.

"It's really good, it's a blessing to live in a place like this. Hahaha. "The chubby Captain Zhao came in in a bulging outfit, and his figure looked like a huge ball. He said with a smile as he patted the snow on his body.

Lao Yang hurriedly stepped forward and was blocked by the puppet army. Where can Lu Gang endure this kind of anger, he didn't say a word, took advantage of his unpreparedness, knocked the two puppet soldiers around him to the ground a few times and couldn't move, and then rushed forward and punched the puppet army blocking Teacher Yang to the foot of the wall and snorted.

Seeing this, the other puppet soldiers rushed towards Lu Gang with their guns, and Captain Zhao didn't have the same aura as just now at this time, standing there for a long time without waking up, watching Lu Gang solve the puppet army he brought, one by one calling for his father and calling his mother in the house.

"Oh my God, these six puppet armies really don't need to be beaten." Boss Zheng was dumbfounded, and stood there exclaiming, "What a god, hero." ”

Xiao Lin said happily next to him: "Which is my pole brother, of course God, what are these turtle king bastards, which is my pole brother's opponent, it is a group of soft eggs who really don't fight." And to carry guns to help devils beat the Chinese, these people deserve to die. ”

When Captain Zhao woke up over there, Lu Gang had already rushed to him and squeezed the hand he was about to draw a gun in his hand. Although Captain Zhao's wrist was fat and fleshy, and Lu Gang had a little difficulty holding it, Lao Yang and Xiao Lin on the side saw the painful expression on Captain Zhao's face. At this time, Lao Yang shouted to Boss Zheng to close the door, and at the same time called Xiao Lin to go to the puppet soldiers who fell to the ground to pack up their guns.

Captain Zhao screamed, his face was distorted, and he only shouted: "A good man spares his life." ”

Lu Gang didn't let go, he directly pressed him to a bench, and pulled out the gun from his holster, as soon as his hand was released, Captain Zhao rolled off the bench and fell heavily to the ground, fortunately he was dressed thick and harmless, but it took half a day to ease up, opened his eyes and looked at Lu Gang standing in front of him, blinking, as if trying to recall what happened from entering the house to now? One by one, his men lay on the ground and chirped, and they themselves were lying on this cold, no, hard ground.

Captain Zhao understood in his heart and ran into a master. So who are they? Martial arts master, go to the rivers and lakes? Or is it some other way to go? He was confused and trying to figure out how to get out.

In a daze, Lao Yang came over and pointed at Lu Gang's feet.

Captain Zhao saw that there was a Lu Gang's foot on his body, no wonder there was some pain in his chest, and at first he thought it was a pain.

Old Yang told him to get up from the ground and let him sit at a table. A pair of eyes stared at Captain Zhao for a long time, and saw that Captain Zhao was stunned in his heart, and his face cramped, and Lao Yang smiled and said, "Captain Zhao, do you want to live or die?" ”

When Captain Zhao heard this, he quickly got down from the chair and knelt down, arched and said, "A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life." I have old and low, and there is a mother-in-law in the middle who is counting on me to feed them. A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life. ”

Lao Yang turned around again and asked the few puppet soldiers who were gathered together by Xiao Lin: "And you, do you want to live?" When the puppet soldiers heard this, they hurriedly nodded their heads as if they were digging garlic, and shouted to spare their lives, making Boss Zheng, Xiaolin, and Lu Gang laugh.

Lu Gang scolded: "A bunch of straw bales." Stand up and listen to me, Teacher Yang. He knew that Lao Yang was going to start classes for them at this time, of course, it was some domestic and foreign situations. After speaking, he went to open the door, and after looking at the movement outside, he closed the door again and stood behind Captain Zhao.

Unexpectedly, the first sentence that Mr. Yang said to Captain Zhao made Lu Gang and Xiaolin surprised and delighted.
