After feeding the horses with Feng Wenying, it was already time to eat. The orderlies brought the food to the marching tent, and Ren Laifeng and Feng Wenying sat opposite each other and began to enjoy the belated breakfast. Before the two of them finished eating, the orderly pushed open the tent door, "Commander-in-chief, the villagers of Shimen Village are here." ”

The villagers are coming? This kind of little thing also comes to disturb my meal? Ren Laifeng glanced at this usually clever guard with a little dissatisfaction. As for Feng Wenying, he simply glared, and two cold lights swept over. The guards were scared and trembled, and their hearts spoke, if there is such a thing in the future, I won't come to kill me!

Next time is next time, and since this time I'm here, it's even worse if I don't finish what I need to say and run. The guard stubbornly explained: "More than 100 villagers came, and I heard that all of them came except for those who couldn't move." Some of them were holding old hens, some were carrying food, saying that they were here to comfort our troops. Battalion Commander Yao said no, they had to give. Battalion Commander Yao and Detachment Cai, please go over and have a look. ”

The news is good, but he is obviously not the only orderly and guard around Ren Laifeng. But who let him serve by Ren Laifeng's side the most? Knowing that the commander-in-chief and the Feng detachment were eating, no one else dared to come, and in the end, the big guy pushed him to come out of the way.

This young man is also a good face, so he took this job on impulse. Now he was glared at by Feng Wenying, but he regretted it, anyway, next time he said that he would not come out of this.

Ren Laifeng was a little curious when he heard it. According to his observations, the village in this remote area should not be wealthy, and the villagers did not know much about the guerrillas, so how could they come up with the only food and hens they had to entertain the troops?

There's weirdness in this! Ren Laifeng had this idea in his heart, of course, he wanted to go out to understand the actual situation, and after a few bites, he stood up and walked out as soon as he pushed the rice bowl. Feng Wenying followed closely, and snorted softly when he passed by the orderly. At this sound, the orderly's legs were weak, and he almost didn't fall to the ground. It's certainly not exciting, he's scared.

Outside, it was dark and oppressive, full of shabby-dressed villagers. And not all, there were still a few well-dressed people in front of the crowd. The leader is a local tyrant in a robe and a horse coat and a melon skin hat, and it is estimated that this is Shi Shouren, the biggest landlord in Shimen Village, as the two villagers said.

"This is our sir!" A soldier pointed to the wind to introduce it to the villagers, randomly, hundreds of eyes looked at it together.

Ren Laifeng has long been accustomed to being the center of attention, and it is not surprising for him to see such a scene. As soon as Ren Laifeng showed his face, he immediately became the center of the scene, and the local tyrant wearing a melon skin hat hurriedly led the villagers to walk quickly to the front and made a gesture to Ren Laifeng, "Shi Shouren of Shimen Village has seen the chief. ”

Ren Laifeng returned the military salute, and after a few polite words, he asked Shi Shouren about his intention. What are you doing here with so many people?

It turned out that the more the two villagers thought about it after they went back, the more strange they felt, how could any chief give money to the people? The two of them were worried that there was another reason for this, but they couldn't figure out what might be unfavorable, so they took a few good friends together to go to Shi Shouren, the landlord and head of the village, to ask for advice.

Shi Shouren was also shocked when he heard about it, but after all, this person had a little more knowledge than the poor peasants who had spent his whole life in the fields. I have read a lot of books, and I have also been to county towns and provincial cities. I know the Japanese Kwantung Army, and I also know the guerrillas of the National Army. Listening to the villagers' discussions, it is estimated that the guerrillas of the national army are coming, right?

He had no dealings with the guerrillas, but a few years ago volunteers had come to their village. Anyway, it is to levy food, money, and conscription. People have guns in their hands, and no one dares not to give them, and it is estimated that they will not be able to run this time this time.

Since there was this time sooner or later, Shi Shouren pondered that it was better to send it to the door himself than to let the family find him. In that case, it would be good to change your attitude, and maybe people would be able to get less money and food. It was with this intention in mind that he mobilized the people of the whole village to bring the local products of each family to provide offerings to the army.

Shi Shouren would definitely not say that, and when the words came out of his mouth, he admired the prestige of the national army, and he had long looked forward to the arrival of the national army. Today, he finally looked forward to the country's army, and he had to lead the whole village to talk about his heart.

The common people insist on giving and feeding, and of course there is no reason not to accept it, which will not be conducive to the unity of the military and the people. I took it, but I saw that the clothes worn by some villagers were too unseemly, and Ren Laifeng felt sorry for receiving other people's things, so he just gave money.

Anyway, give as much as you can, and give twice as much! Our anti-Japanese guerrillas in the Northeast are not short of this money! The market price of an old hen is two dollars, and the guerrillas give four dollars! How much is not less, so that the poor people in this village can also get a benefit.

However, the ten sheep sent by the village chief Shi Shouren, Ren Laifeng did not give money. He gave Shi Shouren a military dagger as a symbol of friendship. His name was not engraved on the dagger. But it was also taken off the belt by the commander-in-chief on the spot, and the significance is extraordinary.

Shi Shouren took the dagger from Ren Laifeng's hand and was overjoyed. Of course he cares about money, but if people don't give it, even if he cares, it's useless, does he dare to ask Ren Laifeng for it? Seriously, it is a great honor to get the dagger of Ren Laifeng. In the future, he drank and sang with the village chiefs and squires of other villages, and he lit up this dagger, saying that it was given by the guerrilla commander himself, what a face!

In short, this time, the two sides have their own place, and the military and the people jointly build a fish and water situation. The villagers got money, some went home to count it, and some stayed to talk to the guerrilla fighters. Some people see that the guerrillas are well paid, so they want their children to join the army.

At this time, Ren Laifeng will definitely not recruit new recruits, he still has an important task. If you want to come to the guerrilla army to be a soldier, you can, go to Qinggang, and as soon as you sign up there, you can join the guerrilla army at any time. We don't accept new recruits here.

Is it Aooka? Okay, go back and pack up, and gather a group of young people from the same village to go to Qinggang to join the army! Some young people secretly made up their minds to become soldiers. Ren Laifeng and his guerrilla officers and men were originally going to rest for half a day and leave, but with these enthusiastic villagers around, the soldiers could not rest, so they stopped here in Shimen Village for a day.

Ren Laifeng remembered some classic scenes, and simply asked the soldiers to put away their tents, and he led the troops to live directly in the homes of ordinary people. The villagers are poor, but they are poor and have no spare money at home, and they do not have a large amount of food in stock, and as for the houses, they are still full. There were halls and storage rooms in almost every house, and the soldiers did not have to sleep in tents at night, but directly slept in private houses with roofs.
