The people on the turret site were organized into three construction teams, each with a team leader. The foreman called all the captains of the three teams over to cooperate with the list of new clerks.

Ren Laifeng read the names he had already written from beginning to end, and asked the three captains to listen to who was missing, and if there was anyone who had not registered, he would fill in the list.

It's a lot of work, it's a lot of talk, it's not a lot of it, and it's not a hurry anyway. Taking advantage of the gap between registering his name, he talked to the three captains and asked them about the situation on the construction site by the way.

The people on the construction site are basically illiterate farmers, and the three captains are considered to be the most knowledgeable among these people, and they know dozens or hundreds of words. The more knowledgeable people are, the more they know the value of being educated. Just with this good handwriting written by Ren Laifeng, it was enough for the three captains to respect him.

Talking and chatting with the Chinese people, the three captains felt honored from the bottom of their hearts. Therefore, no matter what Ren Laifeng asks, as long as they know, it is absolutely inexhaustible.

There are more than 30 and less than 40 devils at the construction site of the fort in Zheng'an Town, and according to the establishment of the Japanese army, this is almost an infantry squad. Its commander was a second lieutenant named Matsumoto. The three captains rarely spoke to Second Lieutenant Matsumoto, and only the foreman patted Matsumoto's ass from time to time.

There are a total of 324 people on the entire construction site, and the specific number is still found out by Ren Laifeng when he registers the list, and none of the three captains can tell how many people they have under their hands. Perhaps this is the reason why the foreman looks at himself differently as a so-called scholar, right?

One side is deliberately clichéd, the other side is deliberately befriended, and the two sides naturally get closer and closer to each other, and Ren Laifeng and the captains quickly get acquainted. When it was time for dinner, the three captains invited Ren Laifeng to dinner.

The food at the turret construction site was okay. Although there is no meat in the dish, only the big white bun is better than what most people eat at home. Therefore, the people are quite satisfied with the food. The three captains, plus Ren Laifeng and Huang Tian, a total of five people gathered around, and a basket of white buns, five bowls of stew, and a bottle of wine were all the contents of today's dinner.

"Ren Shushu, Huang Shushu, I have admired learned people since I was a child, and I am happy to see you today! Come on, let's not say anything, let's do this first! The captain of the first team took a big sip of a small half bowl of wine, and Ren Laifeng and Huang Tian each took a small sip. It's not that they don't take a sip and drink it dry, the five of them just have a bottle of wine, and when they finish drinking, it's gone, they have to drink it slowly.

Someone started the beginning, and the bottom was just done. Several people even drank and ate food, and Ren Laifeng also learned about the family situation of the three captains from the conversation. Ren Laifeng knew through this wine and dinner that the people who built the turret actually didn't hate devils. The devil takes care of their food and promises to give them money, and these two things are exactly what ordinary civilians lack most in this era.

The people didn't hate the devils, but they were worried that the Japanese would not pay them in the end. As for any tiredness, grievances, and lack of dignity, they are all within the scope of their tolerance. The simple peasant always thinks that since people pay you, it is understandable that they will suffer a little bit of trouble.

Is it understandable to be troubled? Ren Laifeng felt incomprehensible to the logical thinking of the people. It seems that there is still a long way to go to encourage the people to rise up and resist.

After dinner, it was dark, and Ren Laifeng was wandering around the construction site, and after he planned to look at the terrain, he would escape this evening. The devil knew that he was a newcomer, and he didn't stop Ren Laifeng from walking around casually at night, as long as he didn't get close to the cordon.

A commotion suddenly came, and Ren Laifeng looked back to see that the sound was coming from the dormitory. Is it a pastime before the people go to bed? Anyway, if you're idle, you'll be idle, so let's just go over and see the excitement.

The people's dormitory is a tent area, and a dozen devils with rifles are on guard at the door. Behind these devils are three devils beating a person, and looking at the way they do it, it seems that they are ready to beat someone to death.

The foreman was also at the scene, and when he saw Ren Laifeng and Huang Tian coming here, he hurriedly went up to greet him, "Xiao Ren, Xiao Huang, you two must not go over." This has nothing to do with you! The foreman seemed to be afraid that the two of them would make trouble in the past, so he firmly blocked the two of them and the scene with his body.

"Lin Tou'er, what's going on? Why do they hit people? Ren Laifeng itched when he saw the Japanese beating the Chinese, and if his gun hadn't been put in the bird's nest, maybe he would have shot and killed the three Japanese soldiers who had committed the murder and killed people now.

"Shhh If you don't ask, why do you have to ask? Okay, I'll tell you, but you have to make sure you don't mix it in. If you don't agree, I will never say it! ”

"Okay, okay, I promise you. Not mixed, I promise not to mix. Tell me about it, what did that man do? ”

"He steals!" Just when Ren Laifeng thought that this was our agent whose identity had been revealed, the foreman said an absolutely unexpected answer. "That kid obviously had dinner tonight, but just now he jumped out of the window and entered the kitchen, stole fish, meat, eggs and other delicious things and hid them in the dormitory."

"How was it discovered?" For the theft, Ren Laifeng really couldn't intercede, so he simply asked the reason for the incident in the east window.

"Someone reported it." The foreman gave him a helpless look. If you don't count nationality. Reporting a thief is a righteous act. With nationality, the informant will be labeled a traitor.

"What are you doing stealing so much food? Can he finish it alone? Not only was Ren Laifeng surprised by this, but Huang Tian was also curious.

"Who knows? Maybe that guy used to be a thief and was used to stealing, right? Anyway, if you don't pay attention to what you do, you have to bear the consequences alone. You deserve to be killed! ”

Do you deserve to be killed? Ren Laifeng clearly saw the resentment on the foreman's face, and this hatred was obviously not aimed at the beaten thief.

The beating lasted for more than ten minutes, and when the devil finished beating and left, the beaten thief was left lying quietly in the open space in front of the dormitory. As soon as the devil left, the foreman hurriedly ran over to check, and the people also surrounded him.

An exclamation was heard from the crowd: "Dead? These ...... who deserve a thousand cuts"

Ren Laifeng's heart suddenly became heavy. He was not interested in remembering the dead or attending the memorial service, and now he just wanted to hurry back to the dormitory and sleep, and then escape with Huang Tian in the middle of the night. He would rather face a battlefield full of bullets and flesh than stay in this oppressive place anymore.
