Chapter 12: The Moon is Dark and the Wind is High (Part II)

Signaling the two old martial arts workers under his command to carry the frightened bandit farther away, the chestnut group strode into the depression where Ding Zhuang was squatting in Dawu Village, squatted down and said in a harmonious voice: "Is the big guy afraid?" ”

Except for Mo Tianliu, who kept rolling his eyes, and Sha Bangcui, who opened his mouth wide and didn't come back to his senses at all, the other Dawu Village Ding Zhuang's ears listened to the questions of the chestnut group, and they all froze in place, neither nodding nor shaking their heads, just staring at the chestnut group with a kind face in a daze.

Looking up at the moon that was about to rise overhead, the chestnut group sat cross-legged on the ground, and said in harmony to the wooden Ding Zhuang in Dawu Village: "While there is still a little bit of effort, I will chatter and gossip with the big guys - when the big guys are in Dawu Village, they all rely on farming, collecting firewood, and hunting to make a living, right?" ”

They glanced at each other a few times, gathered together and squatted in a pile of Ding Zhuangzhong of Dawu Village, and finally had the courage to respond to the words of the chestnut group: "I rent the land of Mrs. Jiang's family to plant, and my own family also has two small pieces of mountain land, planting some bud rice and sorghum to make a living." ”

"I hunted when the fields were not busy, and when I could use muskets in the past, I could also hunt a few big animals and sell them for money in exchange for some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. But after the Japanese soldiers occupied the county seat, they were afraid that they would cause trouble with muskets at home, so they buried all the muskets...... Smashed! ”

Ding Zhuang nodded slowly towards those Dawu Village who answered, but the chestnut group really seemed to be talking to others, and asked slowly: "That year, the harvest is still successful?" ”

"Mrs. Jiang's family is kind, the rent is light, and there is a lot of relief during the famine! With the addition of buds and sorghum grown in the fields of his own mountain berries, mixed with wild vegetables or something, he can barely eat until the autumn harvest of the next year. ”

"Can you save some food?"

"Dadang...... Captain, the life of the Zhuang family is hard, and it is considered that God can take care of it all year round. There are few families with small surnames in Dawu Village, and there are few people who can store grain at home! ”

"Have you ever been robbed by bandits?"

"Rob it! Who in Dawu Village has not been plagued by bandits? In particular, the families with small surnames live near the edge of the village, and when the bandits come, the first ones to be unlucky are those of us with small surnames......"

"Originally, there was no food at home, so the bandits robbed it, this day is embarrassing, right?"

"Captain, you're really talking to the bone! was plagued by bandits once, and the family couldn't open the pot before the New Year...... If it weren't for the benevolence and righteousness of the old lady Jiang in the village, she would have given some food from the public school every time to save her life, I'm afraid it would be ......."

"That's what to say..... Do you hate bandits? ”

"Why don't you hate?! It's easy to fight a big animal, don't be careful to peel the skin, I was going to take it to Qingle County to exchange some medicinal materials for the old lady to treat the disease, but I was stunned to let the bandits rob it! If it weren't for Mr. Han who gave up seven pairs of medicines, I'm afraid that the old lady wouldn't be able to survive the spring ......"

With a straightened face, the chestnut group stared at the few Dawu Village Ding Zhuang who opened their mouths and said in a deep voice: "Since we hate bandits, why are we still robbed by them?" Why don't you huddle together to protect what should be your own?! ”

Bowing his head in disdain, Ding Zhuang in several Dawu villages muttered in a low voice: "They have guns and cannons...... Our Zhuang family, our ancestors are honest farming, hunting and living, where can they be their opponents......"

Snorted softly, Chestnut Qun pointed back at the bandit who was dragged away by the old martial arts team: "Thinking about risking your life to fight with the bandits, can't you end up?" So the big guy swallowed his anger?! ”

Don't look at Ding Zhuang in Dawu Village, who didn't even dare to speak, the chestnut group grabbed a dead branch with the thickness of his arm from his side, grabbed the dead branch with both hands and broke it hard: "This dead branch is like a villager everywhere, huddled together, I can't help it at all!" ”

Reaching out from behind his waist, he took out a dagger with a faint cold light, and the chestnuts neatly cut a piece of dry bark from the dead branch: "This is the villagers who robbed us, and they didn't rob much, just a little bit, maybe the patience will pass!" ”

As he spoke, the chestnut group did not stop in his hands, just like a Shanxi chef making knives and noodles, and quickly cut off one piece of dead wood after another from the arm-thick dead branches.

In front of everyone's eyes, the arm-thick dead branch in the hands of the chestnut group was only the thickness of a thumb in a blink of an eye. Raised the thumb-thick dead branch in front of everyone's eyes, and the chestnut group held the branch with a slight force, and the thumb-thick dead branch suddenly broke off casually!

Throwing away the dead branches in that section, the chestnut group sighed slightly: "Everyone in the village is kind-hearted and can bear it." As long as you can still keep a life, no one will fight the idea of going out and fighting with others until the last moment! But if we really let people rob and loot like this, we really can't survive, and when we want to fight with others, do we still have that ability and strength? ”

Smacking his thick lips, Sha Bangcui, who was squatting on the side, quickly responded to the words of the chestnut group at this time: "This is reasonable!" In the past, when I met a big animal in the mountains, I was injured, and the big animals all ran away with their lives, and the blood was spilled all the way! When the big animal told me to chase me and had nowhere to run, he wanted to turn back and fight with me, but he didn't have the strength at all...... Oops......"

Covering Mo Tianliu's waist and eyes, Sha Bangcui looked at Mo Tianliu inexplicably: "What are you pinching me for?" People are in charge....... Captain, you're right?! ”

Glancing at Mo Tianliu, who was staring at Sha Bangcui, with a smile, the chestnut group turned his head to Ding Zhuang of Dawu Village who had a somewhat moved look on his face and said: "There is a saying in my hometown - people can coax people, but the earth does not coax people!" The farmer sweats and falls to the ground and falls eight petals, and the crops grown in the ground naturally have to eat the sweaty farmer's mouth, which is the right way to survive! But now we are working hard, and it is easy to get a little grain from the soil and a little leather from the mountains, but all those bandits can go, how can there be such a reason in this world?! ”

Hate slapped on the stones beside him, and among the Ding Zhuang of Dawu Village, who was squatting together, a young man who was black and thin with skin and bones, but his hands and feet were unusually thick, and he whispered hatefully: "I said I was going to fight with those bandits, but the old lady at home dragged me and didn't call it...... Anyway, now that he has come out to carry guns and eat food, it is these bandits that Lao Tzu wants to fight, so let's take this evil breath first! ”

With one of the leaders, Ding Zhuang in the other Dawu Village, who was originally a little timid, also echoed: "That's what I said!" It was easy to collect a few buckets of sorghum from the mountain stalks, and they were all dried and sifted, and they didn't eat a single bite at home, and they all called the bandits to rob them! Why?! ”

"I sold the new jacket for a year to get firewood, and I didn't even cover the upper body with heat, so I called it to pick it up, and asked the bandit to hit a few rifle butts...... Look, this scar on my head fell at that time! ”

"Let's grab it too! It's not a harm to the bandits to snatch back what they robbed us......"

With both hands on his knees, the chestnuts stood up neatly: "If the big guy has this words and this heart, that's a great thing!" But you have just joined our Eighth Route Army Martial Arts Team, and if you want to talk about marching and fighting, you are still raw melons and eggs - just see the juice but not the sweetness! If you hit the muzzle of the gun with such a reckless breath, you have to die in vain! Don't talk much about the side of the gossip, tonight's task of playing the tea bowl village, let's divide the labor to do it - I will take the old team members to the front to play the tea bowl village, you will take a closer look at the back, and the piggyback hand will be optimistic about these two captives! ”

Hearing the words of the chestnut group at first glance, not only Ding Zhuang in Dawu Village, who was squatting together, was moved, but even Mo Tianliu, who was shrunk aside and watched coldly, couldn't help but grow his mouth in surprise......

From the time when he was sensible, when the soldiers and bandits who had seen him in the eight townships of Qingle County were fighting with each other, Ding Zhuang, who had always been a new recruit, was driven to the front of the team to rush into battle, and the old bandits behind him were armed to supervise the battle. Sometimes after a firefight, among the new recruits Ding Zhuang who died on the battlefield, more than half of them were killed by the old bandits who wanted to turn around and flee for their lives......

Originally, looking at the chestnut group, he teased the temperament of Ding Zhuang in Dawu Village in a few words, and even Sha Bangcui stupidly went straight up to join in the fun, Mo Tianliu thought that the chestnut group would also be like those bandits around Qingle County, fooling these newly joined Ding Zhuang to rush into battle and block the gun, but he didn't expect that the chestnut group didn't let these Ding Zhuang face the gunfire at all, but planned to take those old martial arts members to attack Chawanzhai?

What kind of doorway and rules are these rules?

Before Mo Tianliu could finish his careful thoughts, Zhong Youtian and Meng Mancang had already quickly walked to the chestnut group and squatted down, and nodded slightly towards the chestnut group.

Although he understood the actions of Zhong Youtian and Meng Mancang, Li Ziqun still asked in a low voice: "Have you asked carefully?" ”

Nodding to the group of chestnuts again, Zhong Youtian replied in a low voice: "The two bandits asked separately, and the answers were the same, so there should be no leak!" Looking at the weather tonight, I am afraid that there will be a rain after midnight, and at worst, it will be cloudy and moon-obscured. At that time, Hei Gu Long Dong won't be able to understand anything, let's sneak into the bandit level in front of Chawan Village, and we will be a little more sure! ”

Confidently reaching out and patting the two short knives pinned to his waist, Meng Mancang also echoed in a low voice: "As long as you tell me to get closer, grab the machine guns of those bandits first, and win the bandit level is not a matter!" But that's it...... Captain, what about the bandit looking at the grenade above the checkpoint? When we do it, as long as we show a little bit of something wrong, and someone throws a grenade from the top of the head, then we won't even have a place to run......."

Frowning slightly, the chestnut group pondered for a moment before he whispered to Meng Mancang: "Did you really interrogate those two bandits carefully?" From the outside of Chawanzhai, there is no place to climb to the top of the mountain on both sides of the canyon? ”

"Ask carefully! Those bandits were also afraid that someone outside the Chawan Village would climb the mountain and go in, so after occupying the Chawan Village, they carefully swept the cliffs on both sides of the canyon several times, and looked at the places that could climb up slightly, and they were also blown up with explosives...... Captain, there's no other way, let's just try it?! ”

didn't wait for the chestnut group to answer, but from the Ding Zhuang in those Dawu villages who were squatting together, a voice with a little timidity suddenly sounded: "Not really....... There's no way out, it's just ...... It's too dangerous......"
