At eight o'clock in the morning, the sun was completely outcropping, and Zheng Long and his party appeared about three kilometers outside Laoguan Village.

"Take a break here." Zheng Long beckoned, "Logistics office, light a fire and cook to relieve everyone's fatigue." ”

"Come on, take a break." Lu Zizheng and the others greeted one after another.

"Whoa!"

After everyone received the order, they all sat cross-legged on the ground, chatting in groups, waiting for the meal to begin.

"You guys say hello big guys." After Zheng Long made the arrangement, he said to Lu Zizheng and the others, "I'll go to the village for a walk and say hello to the people in the village, otherwise it will be easy to cause disgust." ”

"Makes sense." Lu Zizheng thought for a while and said, "Why don't I give you a piece?" ”

"No, I'm relieved that you're here." Zheng Long waved his hand and refused.

"Boss, let me give you a piece." Fair pulled his neck and said, "I'm most familiar with the village. ”

"I'll tell you Ang, put away your bandit style for me, we're soldiers now." Zheng Long waved his hand irritably and said, "Pout, go and take it." ”

"Based on your appearance, I don't dare to let you enter the village easily." The dragon article mocked.

"What's wrong with Lao Tzu?" Fair grinned.

"It's scary!"

"Fuck off, uncle!"

Everyone chatted for a while, Zheng Long smiled, said hello to Lu Zizheng, and found Song Shaoshan, who was changing the dressing for the wounded, and said, "Let's go, accompany me into the village." ”

"Wait a minute." Song Shaoshan replied and explained a few words to several people from the medical department around her, then turned to Zheng Long and said, "Let's go, this girl will accompany you on a trip." ”

"Okay!" Zheng Long touched Song Shaoshan's hair, took her little hand, and turned to leave.

Song Shaoshan was used to the feeling of being held by Zheng Long, and generously carried Zheng Long's arm, and the two of them walked in the direction of the village with a smile.

This land may be relatively remote, there is no trace of artillery fire, at the moment, even though it is autumn, you can still hear the pleasant sound of birds here and there, and occasionally a few wildflowers are blooming on the roadside, the air here is very fresh, and people can't help but relax a lot.

Song Shaoshan followed Zheng Long's side, and was very excited along the way, sometimes touching the wildflowers on the roadside, sometimes catching butterflies, and having fun.

Zheng Long smiled at Song Shaoshan and let her release her nature, in the final analysis, Song Shaoshan is just a little girl in her early twenties, but because in this era, you can't see the arrogance of girls in the next century from her.

In this era, ordinary people just want to be fed, clothed, and live a quiet and peaceful life.

Zheng Long walked while observing the surrounding environment, this place is really mountainous, but they are all small hills, the highest one is only about 500 meters above sea level, and the lowest may be more than 100 meters, so the environment here is extremely beautiful, but because of transportation, resources are relatively scarce.

It is precisely because of the traffic that there have been no little devils in this place, so life is relatively quiet.

Forty minutes later, Zheng Long and Song Shaoshan arrived at the entrance of the village, but were stopped by members of the joint security team spontaneously organized in the village.

"Who are you?" A man in his thirties asked, holding a homemade shotgun.

Zheng Long smiled, stepped forward and pointed to the clothes on his body and said, "Do you know the military uniform?" ”

The middle-aged man glanced at it and said, "You are a soldier?" ”

"Yes." Zheng Long replied, "Zheng Long, the battalion commander of the 219th Regiment." ”

"What are you doing here?" The middle-aged man said vigilantly, "We don't have any extra food here. ”

"I'm not here to collect food." Zheng Long explained: "I am here to provide you with employment opportunities. ”

"What is a job opportunity?" The middle-aged man paused for a moment.

"It's to provide you with work, and then I will give you money and food." Zheng Long explained.

"You're here for the Lord?" The middle-aged man stared.

"I can't tell you." Zheng Long waved his hand irritably and said, "Call your person in charge, and I'll talk to him." ”

"Okay!" The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and explained to the people around him, and then someone ran to the person in charge of the village.

"Brother, what's your surname?" Zheng Long took out a cigarette and handed it to the other party, "Have you ever been a little devil in this place?" ”

"My name is Li Fugui." The middle-aged man took the cigarette handed over by Zheng Long and sniffed it, and then said, "This place is remote, and there are no little devils here." ”

"Then why are you so nervous?" Zheng Long lit one himself, and then handed over the match.

Li Fugui took the match and lit the cigarette, took a hard puff, and replied with a confused look, "The little devil is not coming, but there are bandits coming." ”

"Mom, b, bandits are more hateful than little devils, you can't do it if you don't guard against it."

"There are bandits around here?" Zheng Long asked with interest.

"yes." Li Fugui smoked a cigarette and said, "Itinerant bandits, more than 100 people, are wandering around this area. ”

"This group of bandits doesn't do personnel, they come to the village all day long to collect protection money, at the beginning, the big guys in the spirit of not causing trouble, all said that later, this bandit became more and more excessive, and wanted to rob our village chief's daughter to go back to be the wife of the village."

"Now the big guy finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he fought back, and after a few fights, a joint security team was formed, just to prevent bandits."

"Then there are quite a few people in your village?" Zheng Long saw that the other party's cigarette was finished, so he handed it another one.

Li Fugui took the cigarette and continued, "This village is the largest village in the vicinity, there are several people with several ethnic surnames in it, and it is formed by the merger of five or six villages, and the number of people is indeed quite a lot. ”

After speaking, Li Fugui sighed and said, "It's been a difficult time these days, so the big guys get together to keep warm." ”

"How often do the bandits come?" Zheng Long continued to ask.

"Not sure." Li Fugui waved his hand and said, "I just did a game some time ago, so I shouldn't be here recently." ”

After speaking, Li Fugui paused and said, "Damn! This gang of bandits, we have always suspected that they are not mobile bandits, but bandits specially raised. ”

"Oh?" Zheng Long was stunned for a moment and said, "Tell me carefully." ”

"We're guessing, too." Li Fugui organized the language and said: "It is said that Pan Gang, the mayor of Heishui Town, Gaoyang County, next to him, specially raised a group of bandits to rob houses and houses, and then gave all the food stolen from the houses to the Japanese, and he is a proper traitor. ”

"Let's talk about this Pan Gang specifically." Zheng Long frowned and asked.

"This Pan Gang was a ruffian hooligan at the beginning, and he had a large number of ruffians under him, specializing in stealing chickens and dogs, and later took refuge in the Japanese, and then changed from a ruffian hooligan to the mayor, it is said that he also has a big iron mine under his command, and he is the mayor of Heishui Town, and the most important thing is to mine for the Japanese."

"How accurate is the message?" Zheng Long asked.

"That's what everybody says." Li Fugui pulled his neck and said, "It should be true." ”

When Zheng Long heard this, he lowered his head and pondered.

While the two were talking, a little old man, on crutches, staggered towards the entrance of the village.
