"Xin Nachun is Xin Na's sister. This is incredible. Hot temperament. Child. Little Pig Killing. The average boy is not enough for her to see. ”

"Hmm," Liu Si whispered, "You can tell me all the things and people in the village."

"Do you know what these do" Widow Zhou took a sip, her apricot eyes were full of spring, "I'm going to sell to the two female officials again." A big man, listening to the instructions of two women, shame! ”

"People are chiefs. Give me a salary. When the official saw the queen mother, she had to kneel. Let's talk about these two. Tall and strong, like a big horse. How can I look at your fourth brother" Liu Siyi pulled the woman into his arms, put his hand in from his waist, rubbed it up and down, and whispered in his ear. "Good lady, tell the fourth brother everything in the village, you are indispensable at night."

Liu Si's selfishness and "fake public benefit" behavior made him the person with the most information among the team members. From the mouth of the widow of Zhou. He learned a lot about the situation in the village, especially the recent movements of the bandits, which was extremely important news, and he did not dare to slack off, and after returning from Widow Zhou's house that night, he reported to them the news he had heard from Widow Zhou.

"It seems that this gang of bandits is still haunted." Dong Weiwei said.

Du Jiao gritted his teeth: "It seems that it will be severely suppressed!" She thought for a moment, "Are these families behind the troublemakers the landlords and rich peasants?" ”

"Landlords, rich peasants?" Liu Si was stunned for a moment, he had learned basic social class and other knowledge in the agricultural lecture center. I just didn't expect to ask such a question. hesitated: "Don't count."

Dong Weiwei was dissatisfied with her origin theory: "Even the landlord is a poor peasant." Let Liu Si get down to business first! She turned to him and asked, "What is the attitude of the common people towards us now?" The bandits are still so rampant, don't you want to organize the township to defend yourself? ”

"The people in the village have three fears." Liu Si said that the "First Rin Task Force liquidated" from the bandits. problems. ”

The Thirteen Villages area used to be the nest of bandits, and there were very few people who did not have anything to do with the bandits, at least they had been supplied with food and fodder, let alone those who followed to reap benefits. If you want to be investigated, you can be regarded as a "bandit", and you have to shed your skin if you don't die.

The second is the fear that the bandits will retaliate once they make a comeback. Some people who want to get close to the team are afraid that if the team runs away and the bandits come, it will be very cruel to retaliate. Many people still have lingering fears about the massacre in the village after the party brought up the bandits, and almost all the people who went over to celebrate the festival with him had a grudge, almost all of them were killed, and some simply wiped out their entire families. Some families had no choice but to flee with their families.

"The third is that I am afraid of going to war." Liu Si summed up in non-standard Mandarin, "I'm afraid that after I build a village Yong, I will be transferred out to fight with bandits." ”

Dong Weiwei said: "I remember that a few months ago, a security regiment was formed, and the 13 villages should have also been out. I don't think I've heard that people here are afraid of war. ”

"It's a send-off. I heard from the people in the village that the party would say that "it is not easy to provoke, so I should send a few to leave." And each well sent a few bachelors and strangers. ”

"I didn't expect to be so afraid of fighting with bandits, what else did I do with Jianxiangyong?" Du Bian was a little deflated.

"You can't say that, they are afraid of being beaten and killed by bandits." Dong Weiwei said, "Since there are three fears. Let's make them not afraid. With guts. to dare to do things. ”

"If you don't catch Xin Na and behead him for public display, the hearts of the people in this village will not be stable. Our attempt to establish a militia to control the thirteen villages will not be realized. ”

The news from the daily regular radio contact was not very exciting, and there was no trace of Xin Nari, and no bandit detachment had reported that Xin Nari had been caught or killed

The information gathered by the other students was similar, and when it came to the attitudes of all kinds of people, most of them were cold, and the few people that the students won only provided a little basic information. Taken together, beneath the calm surface of the village lies a raging undercurrent. The fall of the party's gangsters. It seems to have thrown a stone here: there are bandits whose relatives have been killed who want to take revenge, and the families of those who were plagued by bandits back then also want to take revenge on this shareholder wind. Hatred is simmering in this small village. A fierce storm is coming, but Du Jiao and Dong Weiwei underestimate the serious situation they are facing.

After Liu Si left. The two women started a new round of quarrels, this time on the question of whether to arrest the bandits: Du Bian demanded that someone be sent to arrest all the bandits immediately, and Dong Weiwei did not approve of "defeating the prestige of the bandits", thinking that they would arrest people just based on a few words from Liu Si's investigation. It's too gullible.

"Besides, arrest the whole family, or just the men? What happens after I'm caught? Dong Weiwei asked rhetorically.

It is true that Du Chau thinks about it, it is easy to arrest people. If it's caught, it has to be dealt with."

"A mass struggle rally!" She finally found a trick in the land reform.

"Not necessarily useful." Dong Weiwei shook her head. "It's easy for you to arrest all the bandits, but if the victims' families are willing, they will come out to fight them? The people who play soy sauce here are the majority, and they are also worried about the bandits outside. It may not be able to mobilize people. ”

"What do you say?"

"Let's wait and see." Dong Weiwei couldn't come up with any clever plan, "If only Xin was caught that day, it would be good if she was brought here for public trial." ”

"Isn't that the same as not saying it?" Du Chang felt anxious.

"Anyway, it's better to get to the bottom first." Dong Weiwei's eyes rolled, "We can use the foreigners in the back." ”

"What do you do with foreigners?" Du Gui instinctively disgusted this guy.

"It's okay, for my use." Dong Weiwei said, "Foreigners are not our people, although no one listens to his set, but it is more convenient than us to move." It would also be useful to ask him to help collect information about the village and engage in propaganda. ”

Although Du Bian felt unreliable, since the failure of the mass meeting, she had some doubts about her consistent correctness. So I'm not holding on. Immediately call someone to find Bai Duolu.

Bai Duolu came from behind with a sad face Since he arrived in Daolu Village, he has simply become Lu Ruohua's messenger, not to mention the preaching every day, but also to help print propaganda materials: before leaving, Lu Ruohua asked him to write a few missionary materials, and paid for Zhou Dongtian's printing office to engrave a few engravings, and carried them to the village without hesitation.

When he was called to the second courtyard, his hands were covered with jet-black ink, and he was wiping his hands with paper

He felt very sad because the propaganda materials he had worked so hard to print had recently appeared in various daily life spots in the village, and even in the latrines. The current situation of the mission is that a group of people gather around to grab propaganda materials, in fact, Bai Duolu knows very well that they don't know how to read at all, just to get paper. Listen to their plans. After pondering for a while, he said, "This thing is not easy to do, I think Father Lu is a person who wants to preach, and his mission is not going well, I am afraid that he will not have the heart to help us." ”

"Actually, it's not easy to preach," Dong Weiwei once saw the power of the underground church when she was working in the countryside, "He will pay attention to Jesus, salvation, original sin or something all day long." The key is to say: Faith in Christ can prevent you from getting sick, and you can have a good weather and support your son."

Bai Duolu was taken aback: "This is superstition"

"Isn't that thing superstitious?" Du Chang disagreed.

"Religion and superstition are two different things." Bai Duolu tried to explain the difference between the two.

"Alright, alright," Dong Weiwei said. "What do you think you can do by preaching like you in a little advertisement?"

Bai Duolu thought about it, and besides, there was only one way to open up the situation at the moment.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Father Lu." After saying that, he felt stunned that he was simply guilty, and he didn't know if he should go to confession and repent.

Bai Duolu returned to the house, only to see that Lu Ruoshu was still working hard to write something with a quill made by the soil method under the oil lamp, and probably wrote some sermon again.

"Father," he interrupted, the diligent Frenchman, "about missionary matters." I have something to say

"What's the matter, my child." Lu Ruohua had a humble expression.

"Shouldn't we change our approach to mission, well?"

"Oh," Father Lu was obviously interested in the subject, "and you are finally willing to discuss this with me. ”

"Yes, Father." "I have some ideas. ”

"Please, my child."

"I don't think there is a need to print and distribute leaflets and other things, most of the people here are illiterate and can't understand at all, no matter how much they print. It's just a paper for them to use as a piece of paper for life: "I think this question, Father, you have also seen it. ”

"Yes." Lu Ruohua nodded.

"You know, you're working with Chinese. And I, too, am a Chinese. So I know what the Chinese think. Bai Duolu said, "You know, the Chinese are essentially a realistic people

Bai Duolu began to explain to him what Dong Weiwei said, in fact, these things are not unfamiliar to Bai Duolu, although he does not often go to church or attend church meetings, but he also knows what many church members are baptized for.

He talked a lot, but Lu Ruodan remained silent. Zuihou, he spoke, "My child, the Bible says

"Fr. Francis de Brucle" said very humbly, "is not what we are arguing about is not a doctrinal question, but how to enlarge the flock of God, is that not what the Church has come here for?" ”

Lu Ruohua nodded: "I understand your mind." My baby. With that, he closed his eyes, as if pondering something. Bai Duolu slipped away quietly.
