The suppressed crying gradually resounded in Dawu Village. And the smell of burning incense, candles, and paper money, accompanied by the cold wind in the evening, quietly permeated the entire Dawu Village......

In troubled times, even if you are trembling and hiding in a remote village to farm, there may be unjustified disasters that fall from the sky. As the old saying goes, it is better to be a peaceful dog than to be a person in a troubled world, which is almost inevitable in this troubled world, and the sudden parting of life and death!

Listening to the faint crying sound in the wind, the chestnut group sitting in the living room of Mrs. Jiang's house sighed solemnly: "Alas...... After all, a mountain of gold can't compensate those martyrs....."

Sitting on the Taishi chair beside the chestnut group, the old lady Jiang was holding the cane with both hands, and turned sideways to the chestnut group: "Captain Li is kind-hearted, I am a person in Dawu Village, etc., naturally take care of it!" To put it mildly, Captain Li listened to something unpleasant - this soldier eats food, which was originally a knife to lick blood and work hard to survive! Above the battle array, there are also guns without eyes, and life and death are determined! After being killed, the old and young in the family still have to be helped and taken care of for a long time, which is already a great luck in misfortune! Captain Li, why do you blame yourself too much? ”

Hanging his hands and serving Mrs. Jiang's side, the housekeeper also echoed Mrs. Jiang's words and said: "Captain Li, if you want to talk about the root cause of the loss of so many people and horses in the martial arts team, it is still for the villagers in Qingle County!" If you hadn't taken back the food that had been stolen by the Japanese, I am afraid that many villages would have starved to death! Not to mention the village next to it, even if there is a small amount of grain in our Dawu Village, it is not enough for the old snacks of the whole village to reach the beginning of spring! If Captain Li is a few days late and sends the news that he can bring back the grain back to Dawu Village, I am afraid that the Taigong will move the idea of opening a secret warehouse in the ancestral hall......."

The words were too urgent, and the housekeeper almost rushed to say the private news that there was still grain stored in the Jiang clan ancestral hall in Dawu Village. By the time the housekeeper realized that he had made the mistake of saying too much, it was too late, and he could only laugh awkwardly and droop his head.

Turning his head to look at the housekeeper with an embarrassed look on his face, Mrs. Jiang arched her hand again towards the group of chestnuts with some disapproval: "Please also rest assured that Captain Li explained that in the future, he will let the laborers in Dawu Village help those small families who are in pain of losing their children to farm, and Jiang will bear it, and there is no need for Captain Li to spend any money!" If there are other places in the martial arts team that can be used to help me in Dawu Village, please also ask Captain Li to make it clear, Jiang Mou will not dare to disobey! ”

didn't wait for the chestnut group to speak, but Mo Tianliu, who was standing behind the chestnut group, suddenly answered the words of the old lady Jiang: "Taigong, there is nothing to help in Dawu Village next to our martial arts team, it's just ...... Lack of people! ”

A glimmer of light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and the old lady Jiang sat up slightly straight, and arched her hand towards the group of chestnuts: "What does Captain Li mean...... Do you want to recruit some strong men from my Dawu Village who are willing to join the army? ”

Nodding calmly to Mrs. Jiang, the chestnut group said in a harmonious voice: "Don't hide it from Mrs. Jiang, this time I fought hard with the devil in Wangjiagou, and almost half of the people in my martial arts team were lost!" Not only did several comrades who joined the Wugong Brigade from Dawu Village, but even those veteran comrades who had participated in the revolution for many years also ...... Old lady Jiang, right now, there are only a dozen people left in my martial arts team, in case I fight with the devil again, I'm afraid it will be ......."

frowned slightly, but Old Lady Jiang did not immediately respond to the words of the chestnut group, but turned her head to look at the housekeeper standing beside her: "You go and arrange some wine and food for Captain Li first, and then go and explain to those small families who have lost their children at home, so that they can come to the Jiang clan ancestral hall at dawn tomorrow to discuss matters!" ”

Startled, the housekeeper almost whispered to the old lady Chaojiang and responded: "Taigong, in front of the Jiang ancestral hall, the family with a foreign surname...... I'm afraid it's inconvenient to settle down, right? ”

Waving his hand slightly towards the housekeeper, Mrs. Jiang slightly accentuated her tone, and said to the housekeeper in a deep voice: "At the beginning, those families with small surnames joined the army, and there was a public discussion in the ancestral hall of the Jiang family, and everyone could get a share of water to water the land and a good house!" When the words are spoken, then the words must be done! Otherwise...... The Jiang family has been passed down for dozens of generations under this Tieping Mountain, but they really can't afford the notoriety of breaking their word and getting fat! ”

Listening to the old lady Jiang's accentuated words, the butler, who originally wanted to say something, suddenly closed his mouth, respectfully agreed, and walked towards the door.

Squinting her eyes, Old Lady Jiang didn't turn her head to the chestnut group and whispered to the chestnut group until she watched the butler's figure disappear in front of her: "Captain Li, although the military situation is like fire and you can't be sluggish, most of the things in this world are slow and round!" Tonight, I would like to ask Captain Li to rest in the cold house, and after dawn tomorrow, I will ask Captain Li to join me in front of the Jiang Clan Ancestral Hall? ”

After just thinking about it for a while, the chestnut group nodded calmly towards Old Lady Jiang: "Then disturb Old Lady Jiang!" It's just that I also ask Mrs. Jiang to give an order, our Eighth Route Army is disciplined, and we can't take a stitch from the masses, and we ...... eat this night."

Before the chestnut group finished speaking, Mrs. Jiang had already stood up from the chair with a cane: "Captain Li, although there are no rules and no circle, it is also important to pay attention to the expediency of following the local customs, and please don't excuse Captain Li!" Tianliu, although you are now in the martial arts team, you are always out of my Dawu Village, and this position of escort is none other than you! Captain Li, there are still some trivial matters that need to be dealt with, so let's slack off first......"

Stretching out his hand and tugging on the arm of the chestnut group who was about to speak, Mo Tianliu rushed to the old lady Jiang who had already stood up before the chestnut group spoke: "Taigong just go and get busy, as long as someone can join our martial arts team tomorrow morning, don't say slack...... No matter how slow it is! ”

In the sound of gag words, Mo Tianliu didn't look at the old lady Jiang who shook his head at him with a wry smile, but just squeezed his eyes at Sha Bangcui who was standing beside him, dragged the group of chestnuts and walked towards the door of the living room, and shouted loudly: "Big boss, these days are so hard, the best things we eat are just mixed noodles and dry food!" Today, there is a treat from the princess, and the white flour and hard buns will definitely be full, and maybe there will be four cold and four hot dishes......."

dragged the chestnut group to the wing room on the side of the courtyard, and Mo Tianliu sat on the edge of the kang with a familiar butt, and then stretched out his hand and patted beside him: "Big boss, why are you in a hurry?" When Mrs. Jiang speaks, she always says seven points for a lot of things, and she has to leave three points in her stomach to play a round with two heads! He has arranged tomorrow's scene, and I guess he has a plan in his heart about our recruitment from Dawu Village, but in front of us, he didn't say anything! Tonight, let's just eat and drink and rest for the night, let's wait for tomorrow! ”

Frowning slightly, the chestnut group slowly paced to the edge of the kang and sat down, but whispered to Mo Tianliu: "Tianliu, Mrs. Jiang has paused for the scene of tomorrow's dawn, and I can probably guess what he has in mind....... But even though it is a heavy reward, there will be brave men...... Tianliu, our Eighth Route Army, but there is no such rule of bounty recruitment! ”

Pouting disapplaudively, Mo Tianliu snorted in a low voice: "When a soldier eats food and carries a gun to fight, this deadly work is for people to do, who is willing to do it if there is no benefit?" ”

"Tianliu, you're not right! Our Eighth Route Army is the team of the common people, and the war is also to drive away the devils, so that the common people can live a peaceful life, not to get any benefits......"

"Great boss, when these words come out of your mouth, I believe it, and the mallet will definitely believe it! Why can we both trust you as the big boss? That's not because since the day we followed you, we have seen you do things fairly, fight hard, and don't get any benefits for yourself in private, even if you eat the same as us! Such a big master, anyone who follows is down-to-earth! But when I first joined the martial arts team with the mallet, who of us could trust you? Who can feel sure in their hearts? ”

Listening to Mo Tianliu's vibrating words, the chestnut group opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, just frowned and fell into deep thought.......

As if he didn't see what the chestnuts were thinking about at all, Mo Tianliu, who had already ripped away from the conversation, said to himself without pause: "Doesn't the old saying that the road knows the horsepower, and the people will see the hearts of the people over time?" As long as you can pull people into the martial arts team, hang out with you for a while, fight a few battles with devils, and then see with your own eyes what kind of character you are, then you will naturally be convinced! At that time, it is said that you can get benefits by joining the martial arts team, even if you can't get the benefits of a big son, then you are reluctant to leave! ”

Standing by the door with his arms in his arms, Sha Bangcui nodded as if he was pecking rice, and echoed Mo Tianliu's words in a muffled voice: "Tianliu said that's it!" Follow the captain to fight devils and do good things for the villagers, and you have a headache in your heart! It would be better if I did as I said, and there would be a piece of water to water the land and a big house, without these...... I'd love to do it with you, too! ”

Glaring at Sha Bangcui with some dissatisfaction, Mo Tianliu shouted unceremoniously at Sha Bangcui: "What do you know about you stupid mallet?" Hurry up and pack up and come with me, let's go around the village! It is estimated that at this time, there are many strong men in the village, waiting to hear what we will do after joining the martial arts team! ”

Spreading out his hands, the stupid mallet looked at the clothes he was wearing, and looked up at Mo Tianliu in confusion: "The clothes are all on your body, what else do you need to pack?" ”

"Just say you're stupid, aren't you? When we came out of Chawanzhai with food, the big guy didn't have any guys on him? ”

"Brought it? Can...... When you go around the village, what are you going to do with the guys? Weird ....... Besides, I can't use a big gun on weekdays, so I only use grenades......."

"I....... I don't understand with you! Hurry up, go and put on everything that the big guy didn't bring home, and the guy who can be draped on his body, you will follow me wherever I go, I won't tell you to speak, you won't say a word! If I ask you anything, just say yes and you'll be done!" ”

looked at Mo Tianliu very curiously, and the group of chestnuts sitting on the edge of the kang quickly asked Mo Tianliu, "Tianliu, what are you doing here?" ”

Squeezing his eyes towards the group of chestnuts, Mo Tianliu said with a strange smile: "Big boss, don't ask!" You just have to eat, drink, and rest here tonight, and at dawn tomorrow, you can go to the front of the Jiang clan ancestral hall! Leave it to me and the mallet! ”
