Captain Deng knew the potential meaning of what Instructor Xiao said, but he just couldn't help it, "Instructor, I know that you are for my good, alas, I am just a big old man, I don't understand that they are all my own people, is it good to be direct?" Do you have to do so many curves? ”

"You, I can't help you! I still have teeth and tongues when I fight, let alone between people? As for the orders of the superiors, the implementation is, do you still want so many and some don't? The superior has this request, naturally he has his reasons, what are you complaining about? Isn't this a recipe for trouble for you and your teammates? "Instructor Xiao had no choice but to do the ideological work of Captain Deng.

"Yes! Instructor, what do you say about this? Captain Deng looked at this instructor who was known as Zhiduoxing.

Captain Deng is a native of nearby Dengjia Village, named Deng Xiaoqiang. A few years ago, his family was killed by Japanese soldiers because of the resistance to the Japanese army's military rations, except for him who happened to go into the mountains to hunt.

After returning to the village, under the leadership of the villagers, he found his parents, brothers and sisters who were lying in the grain drying field, and until now he still remembers the bloody corpses, just staring at him like that.

Deng Xiaoqiang was so angry that his eyes were red at that time, and he picked up the hunting knife he was carrying and was about to go to the Japanese desperately. Instructor Xiao was a guest at a relative's house in the village at the time, and witnessed this scene with the villagers in the village, and many villagers stopped him and persuaded him for a long time.

At that time, under the persuasion of the village chief and the patriarch, he pretended to agree not to mention revenge for the time being, but one night after the burial of the family, he carried a hunting knife and secretly went out of the village.

At that time, he took the persuasion of these two people to heart, and felt that these two people were just to prevent him from killing the Japanese soldiers, which was equivalent to being with the Japanese soldiers, so he completely vented his anger against the Japanese soldiers on these two people, and beat Instructor Xiao and Deng Zhong fiercely. Of course. He was also beaten by the two men, and was beaten to his senses.

When Deng Xiaoqiang and the two of them supported each other and returned to their home in the village, Instructor Xiao stayed at his house for nearly a week, and during this week, he learned about the New Fourth Army, the Communist Party, and the Japanese war from Instructor Xiao's mouth. I also learned a lot of revolutionary truths that I didn't understand very well in my heart, but I longed for in my heart, and at the same time, I began to have a different vision for my future life.

He also learned that Instructor Xiao's real name was Xiao Wenbin, and Deng Chao was not his cousin, but the first person in the village to come into contact with the Communist Party, and since then. The three of them began to secretly do the ideological work of the villagers in the village, and the villagers were full of hatred for the Japanese soldiers who often came to the door, and soon many young people in the village quietly formed an anti-Japanese team.

Not long after, many young villagers from the nearby Xiaojia Village and Chenjia Village also joined in, and under the leadership of Xiao Wenbin, they smashed the actions of the Japanese soldiers who entered the village several times to collect grain and arrest Ding. Xiao Wenbin's prestige in the eyes of the villagers in these villages is higher than that of the village chiefs and patriarchs of these villages.

But when more and more villagers joined the anti-Japanese team, Xiao Wenbin was worried that the people in the village were too mixed, and it would not be easy for the anti-Japanese team to hide no matter what actions they did. So it was officially proposed to let everyone enter the deep mountains behind the village. An anti-Japanese guerrilla force behind enemy lines was officially raised.

And Deng Xiaoqiang is brave and brave against the enemy because of his courage and carefulness. In the past three or four years, the cooperation between the two has been very good, not only bringing heavy losses to the Japanese soldiers in this area, but also driving the anti-Japanese behavior in the surrounding towns and villages, so that the Japanese soldiers in addition to controlling Wuhan, Yichang, Hankou, these relatively large cities, have no ability or way to control and manage the surrounding towns and villages, and can only be lost to the puppet government and the puppet army.

Under the introduction of Xiao Wenbin, Deng Xiaoqiang secretly joined the Communist Party a long time ago, and also knew that Xiao Wenbin was originally a staff member sent by the Communist Party to the Japanese theater to carry out anti-Japanese work behind enemy lines.

And this time, what made Deng Xiaoqiang and Xiao Wenbin so entangled was that some time ago, the superiors gave them a task to find a little girl who was less than ten years old, not only with a clean identity background, but also smart and clever, and with hatred for the Japanese, so that they would not have to worry about betrayal, and at the same time, they would cooperate with the comrades sent by their superiors to prepare to lurk in Wuhan to work behind enemy lines.

Recently, Deng Xiaoqiang and Xiao Wenbin not only had to stir up their brains for the purging of the Japanese soldiers, but also had a lot of headaches for this personnel request from their superiors. No matter how sensible and smart the children in the countryside are, can you let children under the age of ten not be afraid when they face the famous Japanese soldiers?

And not only is he not afraid, but he must also be able to face it calmly, and at the same time be able to fight wits and courage with those Japanese soldiers and all kinds of traitors, Deng Xiaoqiang feels that he can't do it, and he has never thought about whether a little rural girl who has never been out of the village can do this.

As for Xiao Wenbin's initial idea, he also felt that it was difficult to find a suitable candidate from a nearby village or station, and he sent people to search for it in nearby towns and counties for so long to see if there was a suitable candidate. It's a pity that until Xiaoju appeared, there was no good news from other places.

Xiao Wenbin listened to Deng Xiaoqiang's question at this time, and thought for a while: "After we come back from Mingyue Lake tomorrow, we will discuss this candidate!" You first instructed Deng Zhong, who was in charge of garrisoning the station, to send someone to secretly observe the daily behavior of Xiaoju's family and report to me every day. ”

"Yes! Instructor! "When Captain Deng carried out Xiao Wenbin's order, there was no discount at that time.

Deng Xiaoqiang saw that after Xiao Wenbin finished speaking, he sat on the chair and didn't make a sound, knowing that he was thinking about the problem, the two had known each other for so long, and they still understood the habits of the other side very thoroughly, so Deng Xiaoqiang quietly went out and went to find Deng Zhong.

At this time, Xiaoju's family didn't know that their family had become the focus of the local leaders, nor did they know that there were so many doubts about their family in the eyes of others. As for Xiao Ju, he didn't know that his behavior today had attracted the attention of the two heads of the station, and he had become the focus of the other party's investigation, and he didn't know that he might become a legendary underground worker.

At this time, Xiao Juniang and Liu Zhu, in addition to being a little worried about Xiao Ju's competition with people in the cafeteria today, were very interested in the literacy class and the production department of the logistics department that Chen Aiguo took to report today.

For the life here that is completely different from the village before, these two people began to have a different yearning in their hearts under Chen Aiguo's introduction all the way.

"Xiaoju, my mother helped you and Zhuang Zhuang sign up for the pediatric literacy class, while your uncle and I signed up for the adult literacy class! I also plan to wait for the beginning of spring to sign up for the production department of the logistics department and participate in the self-reliance production department of the station. On the way home, Xiao Ju Niang said to Xiao Ju with great interest.

"What do you say? Mother? Xiao Ju listened to her mother's words, and asked in surprise, "You enrolled me in a literacy class?" Or is it the same children's literacy class as Zhuangzhuang? ”

"Yes! I heard Captain Chen say that the children here are all in that class! Xiao Ju Niang hadn't noticed Xiao Ju's dark face yet, and she was smiling.

"Mother, why don't you ask me first? Isn't it trying to suffocate me if I go to that children's literacy class with Zhuang Zhuang? Xiao Ju was a little angry, and let her sit in the middle of a group of small radish heads as a dignified postdoc and re-read the words, she felt that her head was extremely big when she thought about it.

"Xiaoju, what's wrong with you? If you don't want to talk to your mother, how can you be so loud? Your mother's starting point is also for your sake, and she wants you to make more friends of the same age to play! Liu Zhu heard Xiao Ju's questioning tone, and said a little unhappily. This niece is good in everything, but her temper is sometimes too big.

Zhuang Zhuang was a little unhappy when he heard Liu Zhu reproach Xiao Ju's words, in his heart, Xiao Ju's first place was the first, and he immediately spoke out at this time, "Uncle, Sister is right!" She didn't have to go to any literacy classes at all! You and I are still taught by my sister! is as smart as Sister A, and it's almost the same as being a gentleman! ”

"It's my fault, I was excited at the time, I didn't think much about it, I listened to Captain Chen's words, and registered Xiaoju and Zhuangzhuang." Xiao Ju Niang listened to Xiao Ju and Zhuang Zhuang's words, and then suddenly thought that her daughter was different from ordinary children.

"Second sister, you are always used to Xiao Ju, and you almost got into trouble today!" Liu Zhu listened to Xiao Ju Niang's words and was a little angry.

Xiao Ju glanced at Liu Zhu and felt that his current love was weird, he usually never did this, and he was used to her and Zhuang Zhuang like his mother. If there is a problem, it must be solved on the spot, otherwise the family will have a pimple in their hearts, and it will slowly become an irreconcilable contradiction, which will affect the family relationship.

So he glanced at Liu Zhu with puzzled eyes and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong with you today?" ”

"Nothing! I'm just worried you're in trouble! When I walked around with your mother and Captain Chen today, I found that there are people standing guard with guns in many places here, maybe you are my only relative in this world, I don't want you to have an accident! Liu Zhu may also feel that he is a little out of shape, so he explained a little sullenly.

"Yes, Xiaoju, Zhuangzhuang, you two have to keep it in the future, don't run around, it will be a big deal when you get into trouble!" Xiao Ju Niang listened to Liu Zhu's explanation, recalled what she saw today, and also felt that something was wrong, so she hurriedly told Xiao Ju and Zhuangzhuang.

"Got it, mother! We are poor peasants with good roots, and we are very safe here! Xiao Ju pouted.

"No matter what, it's never too much to be careful!" Liu Zhu said such a philosophical sentence, so that Xiao Ju couldn't help but start to look at this uncle, who has been loyal and honest and taciturn since escaping the famine. (To be continued......)
