Pinghai County.

The night is getting deeper.

Zhou Weihua: They have arrived.

Zhou Weihua knew that the arsenal was definitely not in the county, and it was basically in the countryside around the county, because the countryside was good and easy to hide, but it was basically not easy to hide in the county, and there were many people.

"Let's go to the nearby countryside and have a look." Zhou Weihua led the aquatic people to the nearby countryside.

I walked for about half an hour while the moonlight was light.

Come to a rural village.

The second village is called Happy Village.

Zhou Weihua and the others went into the village to take a look, and there was a dog barking in the village, of course, the dog barked at them, after all, they were all strangers.

Happy Village is basically pitch black.

However, under the frantic barking of dogs, a few of them still have some lights on the electric lights.

Zhou Weihua led the horse to one of them.

"Fellow, is anyone home?" Zhou Weihua came to the door of a house and knocked lightly, then asked softly.

"Who are you?" An old voice came from inside and asked.

"Old man, we are from Hutou Mountain, is it convenient for you here? We are not Japanese, we are all Chinese. Zhou Weihua still doesn't dare to reveal his identity as the Eighth Route Army.

There was silence inside.

Crunch!

The door was still open.

"Hello, the old man bothered you so much." Zhou Weihua said very politely to an old man who was about sixty years old.

"Come on in!" The old man looked at Zhou Weihua and felt that this person was very kind, and then hurriedly invited the person into the room.

"Thank you, old family." Zhou Weihua instructed the aquatic students to tie their horses and stop running.

Enter the old man's house.

The layout of the house is very simple, the house is very large, but it seems that there is only one person living in it, because the things placed in the room are just one person's utensils, it is estimated that the old man's children should not be around, according to the words of later generations, the old man is thinking that the old man is alone.

But being born in troubled times, there is no way to do it.

"Old man, are you living alone in such a big house?" Zhou Weihua still cut into the topic and talked about it.

"Yes, the children are not around, they are all in the county, there is no way that my wife died early, and now I am the only one guarding here, who are you?" The old man looked at Zhou Weihua and asked.

"The old man won't tell you that we are the Eighth Route Army of Hutou Mountain, and we are passing by your village to find out some news."

"What? You are all the Eighth Route Army? ”

"Yes, why is the old man so surprised?"

"Young man, you don't know, let me tell you, two days ago, your comrades were arrested, and they were directly arrested in the county seat, as for why, I don't know."

"What?"

Zhou Weihua frowned.

Judging from the old man's expression, this news should not be fake.

The Eighth Route Army was arrested?

Who is it?

Underground party members?

Zhou Weihua didn't know, but their purpose was to come to Pinghai County to investigate the arsenal, and if there was a chance to have time, they would go to rescue the captured comrades.

"Yes, two people were caught." The old man responded truthfully.

"Okay, for the arrested comrades, we will find a way to investigate, but the old man still cares about another thing, I don't know if you have heard of it?"

"What's the matter?"

"Arsenal, is there an arsenal of little devils near Pinghai County?"

"You're here to investigate the arsenal?"

"Yes, one of our guns was snatched by the little devil and sent to the arsenal, we also investigated from Hutou Mountain to Pinghai County, old man, if you know, please tell us where the little devil's arsenal is?"

"I don't know about the arsenal, but I think the village chief should know that he is still familiar with the surrounding area."

"Old man, can you take me to meet the village chief?"

"It's late now, the village chief's family has slept, and he has been happy with his little grandson recently, so he has to go to bed even earlier."

"It's okay, we can go to the village chief tomorrow."

Zhou Weihua glanced at the time, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, which was very late for this era, because there was no entertainment in this era, and they basically went to bed at six or seven o'clock after eating a full meal.

Ten o'clock in the future life, it is estimated that it is the beginning of nightlife, many people will go home from work more often, and it is normal for some people to work overtime until eleven or twelve o'clock.

......

The next day.

The old man took Zhou Weihua and others to the village chief's house.

Soon came to the village chief's house.

"Uncle Seven, why are you here? Who are these people? The village chief asked curiously when he saw Uncle Seven with a few young people.

"Come into the house and say." Uncle Seven waved his hand.

Zhou Weihua looked at the gestures of the old man, as well as the village chief's respect for him, which showed that the old man's status in the village was quite high.

"Hmm." The village chief followed him in.

"Wait outside, watch out for any suspicious people around." Zhou Weihua instructed Tie Niu and Shui Sheng to stay outside and observe the surroundings, and if there was anything suspicious, report it quickly.

"Understood." Iron Bull naturally knew that he also had to take care of the aquatic life and the pillars.

A few people stayed outside.

"Uncle Seven, what's going on?" The village chief still asked curiously, and his eyes looked at Zhou Weihua, a young guy from time to time, who was younger than his son according to his age.

"Village chief, this is a comrade of the Eighth Route Army of the Hutoushan Independent Regiment, they came to Pinghai County this time to investigate some things, you can cooperate with them." Uncle Seven responded directly, in fact, he was also observing Zhou Weihua and others last night, because he was saying that the village chief's family had a grandson to go to bed early, which was just a gimmick, and the village chief would not sleep until at least twelve o'clock to one o'clock.

The seventh uncle is also to observe the conduct of Zhou Weihua and others, if he feels that he can be trusted, he will take him to see the village chief, if the character is not good, even if he dies, he will not say.

Through the observation of the whole night, Uncle Seven thought that Zhou Weihua and the others were very credible, and did not bother him at all, nor did he leave the house, and even if he did, he just went out to the toilet and came back.

"Hello Comrade Village Chief, I am Zhou Weihua, the captain of the special combat team of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army in Hutou Mountain, and we came to Pinghai County this time to investigate a gun, which was a gun lost by our comrades, a gun full of soul." Zhou Weihua held the village chief's hand and said.

"You're the leader of the Independent Regiment's special operations team? You seem a little younger, don't you? The village chief asked Zhou Weihua curiously.

"Yes, although I'm younger, I still have two or three axes, and it shouldn't be a problem to kill a few little devils." Zhou Weihua said modestly.

"Haha, interesting, according to your tone, you know that you are a member of the Eighth Route Army, Captain Zhou, what do you want to know? Just ask? The village chief could see that only the Eighth Route Army had such courtesy.
