Although it is early autumn, the wild reeds on the lake are still covered in verdant clothing, swaying in the wind, one after another, like layers of green waves rippling lightly on the lake.

A flock of mallards hovers and chirps merrily in the air, sometimes landing in the swamps, sometimes in the lake, sometimes flying over the reeds. Some of the young geese landed on the reed poles, and the fragile poles could not bear their weight, and then they fell into the muddy water, fluttering and chirping, struggling to flutter their wings upwards, and finally flew back into the air, circling back and forth, as if frightened and calling loudly.

At this moment, a small boat paddled lightly out of the reeds.

On the boat is a handsome and hearty tall boy and a pretty, pure and slender girl.

A wild duck swirled over their heads, and the boy took the gun from the bow of the boat, quickly took out a handful of gunpowder from his trouser pocket, quickly loaded it, and raised his right hand and the gun rang out, only to see the wild duck flapping its wings a few times and then falling towards the lake.

The girl smiled immaturely and shouted excitedly: "Brother is so powerful, he hit!" ”

The young man replied proudly: "Then you don't need to say, who is your brother." Then he stared at the lake where the ducks had fallen and shook his oars, and the boat moved quickly. When he came to the place where the wild duck fell into the water, his body bent flexibly, and the wild duck was in his hand. Not dead, struggling in his hands, wings broken.

"Lu Wei, go home and give your father a drink to eat." He threw the duck's head into the cabin, picked up the oar, and shook it. Lu Wei looked at the lake while taking care of the fish in the cabin and said crisply, with a bright and innocent face. She looked at the lake and the blue sky, and couldn't help but sing to her heart's content:

The geese in the distant sky flew by, there was my brother in the light boat, my dream of the clear lake, my brother in the dream, my sister I swam in the lake of my brother, brother, you and I are not a pair of geese on this lake.

As soon as her singing ended, she heard a young man's response behind her:

The lotus pond lotus is blooming nearby, there is my sister on the boat in the distance, my home on the beautiful lakeshore, my sister in my dream, my brother and I fall on the lotus flower of my sister.

Sister, you and I are the lotus in the lotus pond.

The crisp singing broke the calm of the lake, and the young man said jokingly: "Lu Wei, are you ashamed, listen to the voice, it's not Li Xiaolin, which one is it?" Sing this kind of song at such an age. ”

Lu Wei blushed and said coquettishly: "Brother, don't laugh at me, I didn't know he would be here, I just sang and played a good show." "It's easy, but in fact, it's beating drums in my heart.

The young man changed his tone just now, and his words changed sharply, with a serious face: "It's not that my brother said you, Sister Wei, I don't like you being with Xiaolin." ”

"Why? Aren't you good friends and brothers with Brother Xiaolin? Lu Wei said.

"Don't ask why? Anyway, you're not allowed to be too close to him, you know? Wait for my brother to leave this place as soon as he graduates, just don't get confused with him. When you finish studying, my brother will take you outside to see the outside world. Do you hear that? "He and Xiaolin are indeed good friends, good brothers, classmates, people from a village, his father has a good relationship, and he doesn't want his sister to be good with Xiaolin, I can't say why.

Lu Wei made a grimace at his brother unhappily, ignored him, and fiddled with the fish in the basket by himself.

"Brother Pole, Lu Pole, wait for me." Lu Gong heard Xiao Lin shouting behind him, stopped the oar and waited.

Lu Gong shouted to Xiao Lin: "Xiao Lin, why are you here?" ”

"I'm going to my uncle's house."

Lu Wei smiled and shouted Brother Xiaolin to come over. Lu Pole's eyes were stunned, and Lu Wei was happy when he saw his brother like this, but he didn't speak.

Lu Gong waited for him to get closer, pulled him to his side and whispered: "In the future, don't sing such songs in front of my sister again, do you hear?" ”

Xiao Lin looked puzzled, looked at Lu Wei, and then looked at Lu Pole: "Hey, Brother Pole, what do you mean?" ”

"In a word, don't get close to Sister Wei! Otherwise, I'll beat you up. Want to get beaten? Just give it a try? "Lu Zhuan's tone is very tough, and Xiao Lin is not good at making a sound.

So in this way, Lu Gong has his ideas, and in the past few years, he has learned about the outside world in the conversation with Teacher Yang in Huxi Middle School, and he has the idea of going out, and he also wants to take his sister out. Xiao Lin is the son of Li Baochang, his mother died early, and his father is Xiao Lin's only son. Although his father Lu Shuisheng had a good relationship with Li Baochang, Lu Gong just didn't want Xiaolin to be good with his sister, and even he couldn't figure out that he would have such thoughts.

Xiao Lin didn't understand what Lu Gong meant, in his heart he only regarded Lu Wei as his sister, and had no other ideas, so he didn't take what Lu Gong said to heart, they grew up in the water and mud together.

Lu Wei is different, she likes Xiaolin.

Lu Wei is in her prime, a seventeen-year-old girl, and her love is beginning to open. When I was a little girl, I often played with Xiaolin and my brother, playing hide and seek, playing with mud, playing in the lake, and catching birds in the reeds. My brother often goes to school with Kobayashi, and she follows behind like a fart. After school, the three of them often came home covered in mud, and were often reprimanded by their parents.

She didn't hear what his brother said to Xiao Lin just now, and she always thought that Xiao Lin was her brother's best friend, why did her brother object to her being with Xiao Lin? She couldn't figure it out, and she didn't think about it, so she wondered if Xiao Lin would like her? There is no bottom in my heart, just like this lake, no one knows how deep it is. Thinking of this, she felt a burst of heat on her face, and her face couldn't help but turn red, like a peach blossom in March.

It was almost dusk, there was a rumbling sound in the air, and when I looked up, I saw an airplane flying overhead, and a huge roar alarmed many resting geese and wild ducks in the reeds, and they fluttered their wings and leaped up from their perch in a panic, and suddenly the sky above the reeds was black, and they scrambled to fly in the direction of the north.

More than a month ago, planes had come countless times, sometimes in groups of three or five, sometimes one or two, flying over the lake or over the village. I heard from adults that they would "", that is, they would drop bombs downward, and they also said that the bombs were so powerful that as soon as they fell, there was a pit on the ground, and when they fell on people, they were gone, and when they fell on houses, the whole house was gone.

It was the first time to be so close to the plane, and I was naturally very nervous in my heart, especially Lu Wei was even more panicked, urging my brother and Xiaolin to row quickly.

The plane roared over their heads, and they did not dare to lift their heads, and the violently rocking oars stirred up the surface of the lake. At this time, there were many pieces of paper of various colors on their bodies, boats, and the lake.

There were also many flyers on the boat that was preparing to go home on the lake nearby, and I was shocked when I saw it.

The three teenagers were not nervous when they saw that the reed lake in the bow and stern of the boat was full of colorful papers. Lu Gong stopped the oar in his hand, bent down to pick up a piece of paper and looked at it, understood, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's a flyer from the devil." ”

When I was in Huxi Middle School, I heard teacher Yang Binglian say that after the Japanese invaded Wuhan and occupied Jiangbei, they had long coveted Jiangnan. With the extension of the front in Chinese mainland and Southeast Asia and the stubborn struggle of the Chinese people, Japanese imperialism has reached the point of desperation, and they will make the last dying struggle, and they will fight back, and they will carry out even greater massacres against the Chinese people, one is the physical violent martial arts conquest, and the other is the spiritual cultural propaganda conquest.

The leaflets were painted with bloody bayonets, sabers, and the like with captions, and some were simply written with words such as Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity, as well as unsightly nude pictures of beautiful women. Lu Wei saw one and kicked it into the lake.

Lu Gongji hung on his parents, urged his sister to sit down, and without saying a word to Xiao Lin, the oars shook, and the boat sailed towards the shore like an arrow, followed by Xiao Lin.

Their home is in a beautiful village not far from the lake.

On the opposite side is the factory cellar town surrounded by water on three sides. Most of the people here grow some ordinary crops such as sugarcane, hemp, rape, rice, and raise a few dogs and chickens when they are busy farming. Chickens lay eggs, dogs protect the family, and they make a living by fishing in the slack season, and occasionally hunt some wild birds to change their tastes, and live a comfortable life.

There is an arc of water on the shore, and the boats returning to the shore are docked here, densely intertwined, shaken by the waves, and the sound of the water hitting the hull of the ship is wave after wave, like an aria of the ship and the water, which is very good.

2When they came ashore, and as they approached the door of the house, they met Baochang Li, who looked very old, and did not match his age. The square face is dark, the hair is a little gray, the eyes are not big, but the bridge of the nose is high, the lips are thick, and the beard on the face has not been taken care of for a few months, but the tall and strong figure makes people feel that his majesty is everywhere.

He was holding a piece of paper in his hand, he had come to find Lu Gong's father, who was illiterate.

Lu Gong took the flyer and read it out. It is clearly written in Chinese:

I would like to tell all the good Chinese people who have fishing boats or other boats, for the sake of Sino-Japanese friendship and harmony, that you should destroy all your boats within two days, otherwise our imperial army will send planes to blow up your ships and raze your villages to the ground.

Ignoring these young girls in front of him, Li Baochang scolded "Pig Day" fiercely and said: "Let's go, pole boy, go to your house and find your father." ”

When the people entered the hall and stood firmly, Li Baochang shouted: "Aquatic, aquatic, come out and sprinkle, where is the death?" Lu Shuisheng was digging a cellar in the backyard vegetable garden with his wife Sun Huamei at this time, and when he heard the shouting outside, he knew that it was Li Baochang.

Shui Sheng put down the hoe in his hand, clapped his palms, and asked Sun Huamei to pour a glass of water for Li Baochang. He was forty years old, with a strong body, good eyebrows, and a real man. He has a good relationship with Li Baochang, there is nothing he doesn't say, he has been like this since he was a child, and he never stopped fighting until he became a family and started a business. In the words of the villagers, the two of them are people who wear a pair of pants and a head. If there is anything going on in the village, Bao Chang Li will usually ask Shui Sheng for advice and ask for a perfect solution. Li Baochang also said in the village that whoever doesn't take Lu Shuisheng seriously, don't blame me for being polite, I will treat him as a bad thing.

Li Baochang is not bragging. That year, he didn't know a single word, he became the security chief, and this position was originally Lu Shuisheng's, but Lu Shuisheng had a serious illness that year, so he was pushed to the position of the security chief. Once, a gangster named Gong Qiu stole Lu Shuisheng's cattle and sold them. This is worth it, Li Baochang investigated and transferred internally and externally, and he insisted on finding Gong Qiu out, and hanging him on the big tree in front of Lu Shuisheng's house for most of the day, or Lu Shuisheng interceded and put him down, and asked Lang Zhong to treat Gong Qiu's arm injury. But Li Baochang still didn't force him to redeem the cow, but the money was born by Lu Shui, and the money from selling the cow was squandered by Gong Qiu, he couldn't afford it, so he told Lu Shuisheng to pay it back slowly, and Shui Sheng didn't want it. Since then, Gong Qiu has been respectful to Shui Sheng, and naturally he doesn't dare to provoke Li Baochang.

What especially made Gong Qiu grateful was that Lu Shuisheng came forward to find the matchmaker and told him about a family affair, so that Gong Qiu became a family and had a son and daughter. Based on this, he invited Lu Shuisheng's family to his house for a drink or two every New Year's holiday, and of course, he would also pull Li Baochang, and the three of them became very good.

As soon as Shui Sheng entered the hall from the back of the house, Li Baochang showed Lu Shuisheng the piece of paper he was holding tightly in his hand, told him that it was dropped from the devil's plane, and asked him that you didn't drop this thing in your backyard? Lu Shuisheng shook his head and said no. Lu Shuisheng took the piece of paper and looked at it, his brows were tightly locked, his face was tight, the green tendons on his neck were bulging, and he raised his head and stared at Li Baochang with his eyes on fire. Li Baochang looked up at Shui Sheng after taking a sip of water and was startled, and hurriedly said, "Shui Sheng, it's okay, ah." ”

"Fucking little Japan, it's really not a fucking human, a beast, isn't this obviously intimidating?" Lu Shuisheng scolded angrily, and slapped his hand on the table, and the tea bowl on the table was shaken.

Scolding can't solve the problem, and the two began to look for a solution to the problem, but they didn't have a clue after thinking about it.

Although the village was never ruled by Japanese devils, the people in the village had heard about the cruelty of devils through people who had fled from other places, and they all said that they were not human, but a group of vicious devils from the sea. The Japanese have never seen it, but the devil planes in the sky have seen it, and occasionally pass by here, although they have not dropped bombs, but the piercing roar is enough to frighten them, for fear that at that moment it will really be like many people say, the plane "".

The Japanese can say and do it, and Li Baochang and Shui Sheng have long heard of it.

The Kuomintang had a unit stationed near the village, and it was often possible to get some outside information from them. They had heard of the Nanjing tragedy in 1937, and it was so terrifying that it made people feel numb and tremble all over their bodies, and they didn't dare to close their eyes when they came home and lay on the bed at night, as if they closed their eyes, those bloody devil bayonets were in front of them.

After a period of silence, Shui Sheng remembered Camp Commander Geng, and he said: "See if this will work, after dinner, we will go to Camp Commander Geng to see what he can do." ”

Li Baochang: "Okay, why didn't I think of him?" ”

At this time, Sun Huamei came out, with short hair and a round face, and at first glance she was a kind and generous peasant woman with quick hands and feet. She smiled and asked Baochang Li to have dinner together. Li Baochang jokingly asked if there were any good dishes. After Sun Huamei said some radish and cabbage, she said that she was reluctant to kill chickens and cows, but there was a wild duck, which was beaten by a pole, so it was okay. I heard Li Baochang's mouth smack straight and said that it's good, it's better to plate peanuts. While he was talking and laughing, a shout suddenly came from outside: "What's good, Li Baochang." ”

The people looked out and saw a man walk in with a big grin.

"You autumn cub, what are you shouting, you're dead, you're in such a hurry." Seeing that it was Gong Qiu, Li Baochang scolded while laughing.

It was Gong Qiu who came into the house. The five big and three are thick and fat, and they still feel cute when they show two rows of white teeth.

Lu Shuisheng asked him what was the matter? He said he had brought a roast chicken. When he opened it and saw that it was true, he was so happy that Li Baochang couldn't close his mouth, but he became serious again, and asked Gong Qiu if he stole it? Gong Qiu was anxious, and hurriedly explained that this chicken belonged to his family, and when he got up last night, he heard a sound on the other side of the chicken coop, so he went over to see what was going on, but he didn't expect that it was a weasel stealing the chicken, he wanted to find a stick, I don't know if he was excited or nervous, he made the action bigger, the weasel ran away, and the chicken was dying.

After listening, everyone laughed. Li Baochang said happily: "Okay, it's a chicken again, it's a wild duck again, it's a blessing today, aquatic life, drink more today." At this time, Lu Shuisheng ignored Li Baochang's words, and asked Sun Huamei why they hadn't returned yet, and Sun Huamei said that they had come back early, Xiao Linzi and Wei Meizi were killing fish by the river, and the pole was practicing.

Sun Huamei was right, after coming out, she met Lu Gong who took off his clothes and wanted to enter another room, Xiao Lin wanted to go, but Lu Gong didn't let him. Xiaolin was not allowed to come in because his father told him that no outsiders were allowed to watch him practice martial arts. instructed his sister to kill the fish, and went to practice after taking them away. Xiao Lin carried the fish basket and went to the river with Lu Wei. Lu Huamei picked up the wild ducks on the ground and went to the stove house. Lu Wei wished that his brother would not let Xiao Lin watch him practice martial arts, and he happened to be with Xiao Lin. She smiled at the back of the house and watched Xiao Lin take the fish out of the basket to kill, in the afterglow, Xiao Lin noticed that Lu Wei was looking at him, a little blushing and heartbeat, remembering what Lu Gong said, he bent down and lowered his head to kill the fish.

Lu Shuisheng heard Sun Huamei say that his son was practicing, so he asked Li Baochang and Gong Qiu to sit in the hall for a while and wait for him, saying that he would go back to see his son. Li Baochang and Gong Qiu thought about the wild ducks, ignored Shui Sheng and went with him, and the two went to the stove house to help Sun Huamei's kitchen.

3. Sun Huamei's meal was placed on the table, and she called her husband to let Lu Gong come to eat. Li Baochang and Gong Qiu had already sat down at the dinner table unceremoniously and began to eat. Li Baochang shouted in his mouth: "Xiaolin, this ghost cub went to buy wine, it seems that he went to make wine, why hasn't he come back." The words fell, and Kobayashi came in happily with wine. followed by Lu Wei, and happened to meet Lu Gong who came out of the change of clothes. Lu Gong said to her, "Follow! Lu Wei stretched out her tongue and grimaced at Lu Gong, and ran to the stove house to help her mother serve food.

After eating and drinking, Shui Sheng, Li Baochang and Gong Qiu went out with a wine burp.

Lu Gong tried to go but was not agreed, but the adults came out of the heels of the three of them. It was dark outside, except for a few barking dogs, and the night in the countryside was really peaceful.

Talking all the way, Lu Shuisheng and his entourage soon came to the garrison station.

"Stop!" The sentry spotted them and gave them a drink, startling them so much that it seemed that the wine had also sobered up a bit. They stood there, Li Baochang heard the familiar voice, hurriedly waved his hand, and shouted at the sentry: "It's me, it's me, little dog, damn it, Lao Tzu doesn't recognize it, I'm Li Baochang." ”

The little dog heard the voice of Li Baochang, put down the gun he raised, and asked Li Baochang with a smile: "Uncle Li, what's the matter with being so late?" ”

The little dog is from this village, and he just joined this team not long ago.

"It's none of your business, stand aside, I'll look for you Battalion Commander Geng." Li Baochang's eyes widened and he waved at him in the dark night.

"The battalion commander is still drinking, and no one is allowed to disturb him without his orders." The puppy replied with a blank look.

Li Baochang was about to have a seizure, but Lu Shuisheng stopped him and pulled the little dog aside and said, "Little dog, we are here to discuss something with Camp Chief Geng, you go and be accommodating, let us in." The little dog hesitated, and Gong Qiu slapped his head sharply next to him: "Dog's day, you are angry, you forgot about Li Baochang and Uncle Lu when you put on this skin, are you not beaten." Just go. "When the little dog was being beaten and dodging, he saw the cat behind a big tree not far away. Lu Gong was nodding at him, gesturing for him to let them in. The puppy and Lu Pole are good friends, and they are two years older than Lu Pole.

He understood what Lu Gong meant, and muttered as if he was okay in front of Li Baochang: "Is there anything?" I can't go, really, I'm still beaten by you, and I'll go back and tell my dad one day. You bully. Then he said to the other sentry, "Wheat, look at it." With that, he ran towards the camp.

After a while, he returned and said that Battalion Commander Geng had agreed to let them in. Li Baochang led Shui Sheng and Gong Qiu towards the camp headquarters.

When Lupole saw them enter the barracks, he ran out from behind the tree in a puff of smoke and played with the dogs. Wheat coughed. The little dog returned to the seriousness of the soldiers from his happiness, and asked them seriously what they were doing here? The thief wants to spy on the military? Do you want to be a spy for the Japanese?

Lu Gong punched him and said, "You're the spy." Let me tell you, we picked up a lot of flyers today. The puppy listened disdainfully and said, "Nervous about what? What's so strange about this? Whoever scares me, I picked it up too. As he spoke, he took out a dozen pieces of paper from his pocket, and said, "I have a lot of money here, and I am going to save it for shaving my butt in the hut." ”

Lu Gong took it and saw that it was a sticker, so he said, "That's not the case." So he told the little dog the contents of the leaflet he saw from Xiaolin's father, and said that his father went to Camp Commander Geng to discuss this matter.

Without saying a word, Wheat stood there watching the teenagers overwhelmed in silence.

The autumn wind blows the surrounding leaves, making a sound that makes a quiet autumn night.

Lu Gong looked at the light in the camp headquarters, and really wanted to go in and listen to it, and pestered the little dog to say nice things, but the little dog just refused.

The camp headquarters was very lively.

As soon as Bao Chang Li and the others entered, Camp Commander Geng dragged them to the table: "Come on, come on, Bao Chang Li, Lao Lu, come just in time, drink with us." A company commander, pour wine. "His name is Geng Zitang, a native of the Northeast, with short black hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a dignified appearance, and a burly figure.

A sturdy man heard Camp Commander Geng shouting at him, and immediately stood up, and replied excitedly: "Okay." Full of wine. ”

Shui Sheng said that they had drunk it at home, but they couldn't stand the pull of Camp Commander Geng, and they had something to ask them for, so they had to sit down and drink with them. During this period, every time he opened his mouth to talk about something, he was stopped by Camp Commander Geng, who said that he only drank, did not talk about things, and made fists.

Gong Qiu and Li Baochang held the wine glasses, watching them guess the fist, unable to speak, fidgeting, and not knowing what to do, when they saw Shui Sheng, who had been calm, stood up, poured the wine in his hand into his mouth, and then slammed it on the table, with a popping sound, and the bowl broke. This move startled everyone present. Shui Sheng didn't care, and his voice exploded in the room: "Drink and fart, little Japan is going to take a knife on our people, you are still so happy, where are you like a soldier, you are like a group of drunkards." After saying that, he was about to leave angrily, but Li Baochang stopped him.

The commander of the first company stood up crookedly, pulled the military hat off his head and threw it on the table, scolding with a mouth full of wine: "Damn, what kind of person are you, against you, dare to come to us to spread wild, look for death, and defeat the prosperity of the battalion commander and the brothers of Lao Tzu." After saying that, he pulled out his gun and pointed it at the aquatic life.

Shui Sheng was stunned, looked at the muzzle of the company commander, his face was not good-looking, and his chest thrust forward: "Come on, there is a kind of fight here." In fact, he was also drunk, and the gun was held to himself, and he was also scared in his heart, but he was bold when he was drinking.

Gong Qiu was anxious, stood in front of Shui Sheng and yelled at the commander of the company: "You dare! ”

The officers, who were still drunk with their wines, seemed to think that something had happened, and staggered to their feet, but one of them did not stop, and fell under the table with a "bang".

Seeing this scene, Battalion Commander Geng seemed to come to his senses, and kicked the company commander's ass: "Presumptuous, put the gun away." Then he looked at his staggering subordinates and scolded heavily: "A group of bears." ”

Seeing this, Li Baochang was worried that Shui Sheng would suffer, so he had to come out to play a round, and hurriedly said good things to Camp Commander Geng. Battalion Commander Geng ignored him, picked up the wine glass, walked up to Shui Sheng, pushed the hand of the company commander holding the gun to the side, and sent the bowl in front of Shui Sheng: "Drink." I'll talk about it when I'm done. ”

Shui Sheng's face was fierce: "If you don't drink it, why drink it?" To drink, you look at this first. With that, he took out the flyer from his body.

Battalion Commander Geng read it again, and when he finished, he suddenly burst out laughing, and the company commander and the officers who were not drunk laughed along, laughing so much that they were confused.

"It turned out to be for this, it's worth your fear, really, you're not a three-year-old child, you're scared like this by a little devil, hahahaha." Battalion Commander Geng laughed again.

"But you have to give us the people an idea, and you have to decide this matter. Sir. Gong Qiu said. Li Baochang also sang in harmony. Only Shui Sheng still looked at the company commander without saying a word, and he couldn't wait to punch him twice.

Battalion Commander Geng looked at the three of them, beckoned them to sit down again, and asked the other officers to help the drunk man who fell to the ground back, leaving only the company commander behind.

He took the wine bowl and said to Shui Sheng: "Come, Lao Lu, drink this bowl of wine, and we will discuss it slowly." ”

Shui Sheng didn't want to drink, Li Baochang and Gong Qiu persuaded him to drink, so he had to continue, but he didn't drink but said: "No, if you don't accompany me, I will never drink, point a gun at me, and try it with your bare hands, and you," pointing at Camp Commander Geng and said: "If you don't help us think of a good plan, we don't follow, you have to drink three bowls." ”

Battalion Commander Geng stood up and ordered the first company commander to pour wine: "Hurry up, give Lao Lu a gift." ”

The first company commander knew that it was not okay to fight with Lu Shuisheng at this time, and knew that he was almost drunk, he didn't want to provoke him, and he didn't want to compete with him, if he didn't drink, he wouldn't stop. He said in a daze: "Lao Tzu wait, wait, wait, wait a while, and then drink." After taking the wine from Camp Commander Geng's hand and drinking it, he walked crookedly towards the door, intermittently saying that he was going outside to pee and come back, probably vomiting.

Battalion Commander Geng blocked the hand-rolled cigarettes handed over by Li Baochang, looked at their faces and said thoughtfully: "Alas, what do you want me to say? The Japanese devils are too rampant, biting everywhere like wolves, dogs. After a pause, he said: "However, they will not last long, as far as I know, the situation is still favorable to us, the Pacific War broke out, the Japanese are not at ease, their front is too long, and the domestic supply is insufficient." Judging from the actions of the devils today, I think they are just trying to scare you ordinary people, and they also want to save face. Currently ......"

Gong Qiu was confused and interrupted Battalion Commander Geng's words: "What is not currently at present, you don't have to say this, we don't understand it, and we haven't seen Japanese devils." Rather, you say, what about our ships? ”

Li Baochang pushed him and motioned to listen to Battalion Commander Geng, saying that it would be good to listen to the situation. Battalion Commander Geng didn't say anything, and asked Li Baochang how many ships there were in this area? Li Baochang said that other villages don't know, almost every family here, some have two, large and small, nearly 200 households.

"So there are more than 400 boats in your village alone? That's a lot. Battalion Commander Geng asked.

Li Baochang replied that it was about the same.

"Wouldn't it be a great loss if you really listened to the devil and destroyed it?" Camp Commander Geng paced around the room as if he were talking to himself.

"It's just a huh, it's blown up, how can we live, there is no boat, we can't fish, where can I support my wife and children." Gong Qiu responded. Battalion Commander Geng is now thinking more than just fishing.

"Battalion Commander Geng, you really have to think of a way, otherwise, we really don't know the bottom of our hearts." Shui Sheng heard Gong Qiu talk about this, and his eyes stared at Camp Commander Geng who was walking around.

"It's not a big deal, shit, don't be afraid, we're here, I'm afraid." It was the voice of a company commander outside.

While talking, the company commander came in, obviously a little drunk, but it was much better than just now, it is estimated that he had vomited, and said while wiping his mouth, he poured himself a glass of water after coming in, and drank it with his neck tilted. Seeing that the wine in Shuisheng's hand hadn't been drunk yet, he asked him to drink it, and said that there was nothing to be afraid of when the devil came. Shui Sheng said that if the problem was not solved, he resolutely refused to drink this bowl of wine. He also said that the commander of the first company did not hurt his waist when he stood and spoke, there were guns, and we ordinary people were unarmed.

Battalion Commander Geng grabbed the company commander who was about to speak and said: "Company commander, in my opinion, the devil is definitely not so easy as destroying the ship, there is a conspiracy, the devil's intention is not here, maybe there are big plans and conspiracies." ”

After pondering for a while, Camp Commander Geng suddenly had an idea, he asked Shui Sheng to drink the wine in the bowl and gather them around the table and said, "Do you think this is okay?" Don't fish during the day, change it to the night, and when you come back, move all the boats to the shore and cover them with straw and cotton stalks, even if the devil's reconnaissance plane comes, you won't find it, anyway, the boat is not too big and not too heavy. If the devil can't see the ship, he will think that their goal has been achieved, and he will be safe, okay? ”

The commander of the first company also added that he asked them to organize personnel to pile some firewood and grass together, make several piles, and burn several piles a day, so as to confuse the reconnaissance planes of the devils and mistakenly think that they were burning ships.

When they heard this, they looked at each other and thought it was a good idea, but they had to go back to the village work. At this time, the signal corpsmen dismounted and ran to the battalion headquarters outside the door, handed over a piece of paper with a report, saluted, stepped on the horse and left quickly.

Seeing that Battalion Commander Geng was reading the official documents, Bao Chang Li and his entourage left the battalion headquarters and came to the sentry post, seeing Lu Gong and them here. Shui Qi didn't come anywhere, blaming them for what they were doing here, so late. Lu Gong said that it was to watch the puppy. The puppy hurriedly said that this was the case. Lu Wei asked about his father's visit to Camp Commander Geng.

"Go aside, this is an adult's business, don't ask." Lu Shuisheng was a little impatient.

Li Baochang asked Gong Qiu to get a gong to beat it and inform the villagers to gather in Daping. After a while, the villagers came one after another, and the aquatic did not see Guan Du's autumn loofah and asked Gong Qiu. Gong Qiu couldn't say clearly.

Li Baochang stood on a big tree stump, looked at the villagers in front of him, and began to explain in detail to the villagers what happened today and the situation of going to Camp Chief Geng to discuss, and the villagers all said that they wanted it.

While Li Baochang was still talking, Shui Sheng walked out of the crowd and went to find the autumn loofah who was falling asleep on the bed. Tell him to hide the boat, and the Lu Gong brothers and sisters will go to school tomorrow, worried that Qiu Luffa will see the flyer during the day and will not go out, which will delay the study of the fine girl. He expressed his worries because Qiu Luffa is illiterate, and he is afraid that he will not understand.

Qiu Luffa was a little unhappy when she heard Lu Shuisheng say this. "Brother Lu, you underestimate me too much, am I that kind of person?" Fortunately, that pole boy saved my life. Besides, I didn't send them to school every time they went to school, no matter if it rained or snowed, or lightning and thunder, it scared people to death on their heads, and I wasn't afraid, which time they were delayed, Brother Lu, don't worry. ”
