The reason why the Japanese want to garrison troops in Boshui County is to covet the coal resources there, Qiu Hengshui's Eighth Route Army guerrillas are in Xiyu Village, which borders Boshui County and ZP County, so the Japanese army transports coal from Boshui County to JN Mansion, and always has to pass through this guerrilla area.

Suzuki Osa, the commander of the Japanese garrison in Boshui County, was very annoyed, so he approached Inoue Sawakawa and asked him and the local Imperial Army to destroy the Eighth Route guerrilla within a month.

Zhang Baoshan was also called by Inoue Zechuan and criticized him fiercely, saying that the transport vehicle of the imperial army was ambushed in our jurisdiction, and the responsibility was Zhang Baoshan's dereliction of duty.

Qin Ruiming also received the urging of the Japanese to do his best to make the Seven Spirit Flower Scatter, so that Qin Ruiming also understood that Qiu Hengshui also needed medicinal materials there, but he couldn't say it because of his face.

So Qin Ruiming ran to Xiyu Village to see Qiu Hengshui, and sure enough, as he expected, Qiu Hengshui also added more than a dozen wounded, and all of them were in serious condition, and they needed anti-inflammatory drugs and healing medicines. But Qin Ruiming understood that his preparation speed would definitely not be able to catch up with the needs of these two colleagues, so he had no choice but to say to Qiu Hengshui:

"Brother Hengshui, I have a plan, I don't know if it's okay?"

Qiu Hengshui understood Qin Ruiming after this period of time, and knew that he had a lot of ideas, so he asked, "What is the idea, you can say it quickly." ”

Qin Ruiming said with a smile: "This is not difficult, let's sing a double reed for Japan, I have a batch of prepared Seven Spirit Flower Scatter here, which needs to be transported to the Japanese, it must be you who fought with him, and the casualties caused them to continue to use medicinal materials, so we give them a double reed." I gave the prescription to Zhang Baoshan, he would definitely send it to the Japanese in Boshui, I got her drunk that day, you take the guerrillas with you. Halfway to intercept and kill, there are more of these medicinal materials, so that our medicinal materials are enough, and the Japanese will have no medicinal materials. So. One positive and one negative, it can be said that you get twice the result with half the effort.

Qiu Hengshui felt that this plan was feasible, but the risk was that it was easy to expose the whereabouts of the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, after all, in the deep mountains ambush, the devils were confused, but if they did it at their own doorstep, it was clear that Japan would target the base of Xiyu Village.

But now, I can only try, otherwise these dozen seriously injured people will not be able to be treated.

In fact, at that time, Western medicine was mostly penicillin. But this anti-inflammatory drug is expensive, comparable to gold, and the Eighth Route Army can't afford to consume it, and even if there is money, it is difficult for the Japanese to buy it through the economic blockade, and besides, such a large number of medicinal materials, as long as they buy it, the Japanese will definitely target it.

After discussing with Qin Ruiming and Qiu Hengshui, he returned to Hedong Village.

The next day, Zhang Baoshan urged whether the medicinal materials were made. Qin Ruiming said that it would take half a day's work, Zhang Baoshan thought to himself, Hedong Village is more than ten miles away from the county seat. It's better to wait here for half a day to get the medicine and quickly escort it to Boshui County to do some errands. And his brother's house is in Hedong Village, which is also convenient.

But how could Qin Ruiming not know that he only asked Zhang Baoshan to stay on purpose, so he said to Zhang Baoshan:

"Brother Baoshan. Every time you come, I'm busy, and I don't care about taking care of you, this time it's unfortunate that you came, the medicine still needs some time to react on its own, today I see, don't go back, how about we go to the wine store to drink a few cups? ”

At this time, it was already a hot summer, Zhang Baoshan wanted to take advantage of the cool morning, so he brought someone to come early in the morning, but at noon, the scorching sun was shining, and he didn't eat the brothers' breakfast.

Seeing Qin Ruiming say this, Zhang Baoshan still said politely: "Forget it, Brother Ruiming, you make medicine, I will escort you, let's be serious about doing things for the imperial army." ”

Zhang Baoshan said this, Qin Ruiming also heard his insincerity, Zhang Baoshan thought that the Qin family these days, it can be said that the Qin family is a red man in front of the Japanese, even Inoue Zechuan comes to visit his house when he has something to do, eat a meal and play a game of chess or something, he has been the brigade commander of the Imperial Association Army for so many years, and he has never seen Inoue treat him like this, so he is jealous and stammering in his heart. When Qin Ruiming said that he wanted to invite him to drink, he was very willing in his own life, if it was a few months ago, it would have depended on whether he would give him this face, but now, Qin Ruiming was treated by the imperial army, and he was a little inferior to him, so he politely did not dare to accept it.

Qin Ruiming hurriedly explained: "I know, you came so early this time and didn't eat breakfast, aren't you serious?" Isn't it necessary to react by yourself for a while this time, you came to me, I used to be busy, but now we are all free, just waiting to do it by ourselves, it's nothing, let's not drink a few cups, that's okay? Besides, if I want to find you for a drink in the future, I have to go to the county seat to find your Brigade Commander Zhang, and I may not be able to knock on your door! Last time you invited me, this time I invite you, that's it! ”

Zhang Baoshan saw that Qin Ruiming said so many reasons in one breath, and he also felt that he would not eat by mistake if he drank some wine, so he said:

"Since Brother Ruiming said so, if I don't agree again, I don't know how to lift, okay, let's go to the wine shop at the head of the village at noon today to drink a few cups, and the brothers will also go together, and after drinking the wine and medicine, we will go and deliver the medicine."

Qin Ruiming's amount of alcohol is actually half a catty and eight taels as Zhang Baoshan, but Zhang Baoshan didn't eat breakfast this time, he was hungry all morning, and ordered a few dishes slowly, and he went down after a few times, Qin Ruiming didn't feel anything, Zhang Baoshan was already a little drunk, plus Qin Ruiming was pouring wine and flattering, Zhang Baoshan was a little dizzy, he didn't eat half of it, he was already drunk.

Qin Ruiming said: "Brother Baoshan, on this hot day, let you go and deliver medicine, this errand is really enough to toss people!" ”

Zhang Baoshan hurriedly echoed: "It's not, the Japanese just don't have a good thing, let Lao Tzu send him medicine on this hot day, you say that you are not angry, don't talk about the heat, that road is still so difficult to walk......"

Qin Ruiming then flattered: "Yes, you said that there must be dozens of miles on this road, this good road is good, you said that if you enter Boshui County, there are mountain lumps, you leave today, it is estimated that you will have to walk at night, and if you are not careful, there is a danger that will be broken." ”

Zhang Baoshan smiled bitterly: "Brother, there is no way, say let us do this, I set off this afternoon, and it will be six or seven o'clock when I enter the mountain, as soon as it gets dark, the road will go slower, you say it's not bad." ”

At this time, Qin Ruiming didn't speak, and a person with a straw hat and a very low brim next to him took a sip of water, paid and left.

After a binge drink, the others were also staggering, and Qin Ruiming didn't say the time, so a group of people drank in the wine shop for three hours, knowing that they didn't come out until more than three o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhang Baoshan returned to Qin's house from the wine shop drunk, Qin Ruiming sealed the prescription, dozens of kilograms, and handed it to Zhang Baoshan, Zhang Baoshan took it with a smile, bowed to Qin Ruiming, and walked away with a few swaying subordinates.

When he woke up the next day, Zhang Baoshan came back in a wolf, he found Qin Ruiming's house, and as soon as he entered the door, he cried and said with a sad face: "Brother Ruiming, it's over, I'm finished......"

Qin Ruiming pretended not to know, and said, "What's Baoshan, it's going to be sent, right?" ”

Zhang Baoshan wailed and cried: "What to send, send it, not long after entering the mountain, we were ambushed by the guerrillas and robbed the medicinal materials!" My brothers were also killed, and I had no choice but to roll down the cliff, and when I was about to fall to my death, I was hung by a small tree on the cliff, so that I could not fall out of my head! ”

Qin Ruiming had already noticed that Zhang Baoshan's clothes were tattered and covered in injuries, and he couldn't help but feel cold, thinking, it seems that the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes, originally he told Qiu Hengshui that he had robbed the medicine, and then there was no one left alive, but he let Zhang Baoshan come back alive with such luck! It's okay if he can see everything, if he sees that there are acquaintances from ten miles and eight towns in it, then Xiyu Village and his Qin family will suffer.

But at this moment, Qin Ruiming also deserves to be resigned to fate, so he had to ask Zhang Baoshan tentatively: "Brother Baoshan, it's a good thing not to die in a big disaster, you have to think about it, let me ask you, do you know who attacked you is?" ”

Zhang Baoshan said: "Who else can there be, it must be the guerrillas of the Eighth Road!" ”

Qin Ruiming was a little relieved, so he asked, "I mean, you can't recognize their origins?" For example, when the time comes, we can tell the Imperial Army to let them track it down! ”

Zhang Baoshan calmed down, thought about it carefully, shook his head and said: "I don't know, I don't know anyone, but there seems to be a voice that is very familiar, but I don't remember who it is." ”

When Qin Ruiming heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, could it be that the guerrillas had someone he knew? That's not going to be easy.

In fact, for the guerrillas in Xiyu Village, they are all ordinary people in ten miles and eight townships, and no one knows what they are doing in peacetime, Qiu Hengshui took them to fight guerrillas, and most of them were in the Japanese garrison in Boshui County, first, because there were Japanese garrisons there, which were the main targets of attack, and second, because rabbits did not eat the grass by the nest, and the equipment and ammunition of the guerrillas were not much, so they could not use guns to rob as much as possible, so they also had a lot of hand-to-hand combat. And hand-to-hand combat is also an advantage for these ancestors who dance knives and guns with the descendants of the Boxers, but this will be easily recognized, so Qiu Hengshui generally does not fight guerrillas in this county, just to not expose the secret that Xiyu Village is the base camp of the guerrillas.
