Chapter 70: Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger (I)

Listening to the movements made by the devil and the Imperial Association when they searched the shop next door, the work of the few little apprentices in the Baiweixian restaurant was a little messed up. Even the little apprentice who burned the fire was absent-mindedly adding firewood to the stove, only filling the stove to the fullest, and suffocating the originally burning flames into a stream of smoke......

In contrast, the kitchen knife in the hand of the master Fu Yu Suozhu was stable and abnormal, and the lamb meat cut out was still uniform in size and as thin as a piece of paper, carrying the haggis soup stewed on the stove without delay. Seeing that the little apprentice who was burning the fire under the stove was hurriedly holding a blow torch and blowing into the stove, Yu Suozhu raised his foot and kicked away a few long firewood that was half stuffed in the stove, and shouted angrily to the little apprentice who was burning the fire: "People should be solid and the fire should be hollow, how many times have you told this?" When you have work in your hands, that is, the sky is about to fall, and you have to take care of the work in hand first, and don't think nonsense! ”

Hurriedly puffing out his cheeks and blowing out a few long firewood that had just ignited the fire, the young man who burned the fire hesitated for a moment, and then timidly looked up at Yu Suozhu, who was picking up the haggis soup: "Master...... Master Yu, it's been three days, and the devils and the second devils in the city haven't stopped, and they have searched and arrested people several times a day, I ...... I ......"

Slowly stirring the haggis soup with a big spoon, Yu Suo didn't raise his head and responded: "Scared? ”

Nodding subconsciously, the young man who burned the fire said in a low voice: "Yesterday, at the end of the day, the grain shop at the corner of the street was copied by the devil, and the shopkeeper and the guy were also arrested by the gendarmerie. I heard that the devil copied dozens of catties of fine grain from the shop they had closed, so I put something on them...... The crime of economic criminals is that if they can't hand over 2,000 catties of grain, they will be shot......"

Throwing the big spoon in his hand towards the board, Yu Suozhu snorted angrily: "The devil is crazy!" The night before yesterday, the devils called someone to rob the grain depot outside the city, and the devils guarding the grain depot also killed a few. Isn't it just by arresting people and killing people to force the people to pay food? ”

Looking at the low-hanging curtain between the stoves very nervously, the young man who lit the fire lowered his voice and said, "Master Yu, then our restaurant..... Nothing will happen, right? ”

With a cold snort, Yu Suozhu grabbed the kitchen knife again and slashed it fiercely towards the lamb meat resting on the cutting board: "No!" The shopkeeper of our restaurant is the master who wears a pair of pants with the devil, and when the devil is hungry, the devil is reluctant to kill the dog in the soup pot! ”

Lifting the curtain of the door between the stoves and looking at the movement in the store, another handyman sighed slightly: "Master Yu, I'm afraid that the devil won't come to trouble us, and we won't have a few good days...... For three days in a row, except for the devils and the second devils in our shop, there were no serious guests. If this continues...... The trade is yellow, and we won't have a place to eat......"

Carrying the knife like flying, Yu Suozhu stopped the lamb meat dishes on the board three or two times, and took the opportunity to chop the kitchen knife in his hand towards the cutting board: "As long as the old man has hands and feet, and is diligent and willing to work, where can he not mix a bowl of rice to eat?" If you can't find a suitable home in Qingle County, you can't go to Gongnan and Suiping? If you really have a unique job in your hand, Baoding Mansion can also be flat! ”

"Master Yu, this is what you can say - just rely on your skills, where do you carry the work, and the shopkeeper of other restaurants has to make a good living for you, right? But we ...... Who wouldn't know how to do this piecemeal work? Where can I find a job so easily? ”

Picking up a dried lotus leaf next to the cutting board, Yu Suozhu neatly wrapped a few catties of cut lamb, grabbed a few pieces of freshly baked bud rice flour cakes, and then said to the young man sitting by the stove and burning the fire: "Open the back window for me, my sister's family hasn't eaten yet, I'll send some food back!" If someone asks me before, they say I ......."

Before Yu Suozhu finished speaking, the young man sitting by the stove and burning the fire had already jumped up and opened the back window of the stove room lightly, and then squeezed his eyes towards Yu Suozhu: "Let's just say that you have a stomachache and just went to the thatched house....."

Nodding to the young man who was burning the fire, Yu Suozhu jumped out of the back window of the stove room. Turning two and three times along the path behind the stove, it was just a bowl of tea, and Yu Suozhu was already standing outside the door of a dilapidated courtyard facing the street. Looking left and right at the street where there were no eye-catching figures, Yu Suozhu reached out and knocked lightly on the courtyard door three times, and whispered into the courtyard with a suppressed voice: "Master, I am a pillar, can you open the door?" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was already a slight sound of footsteps in the dilapidated courtyard. With the scarred courtyard gate gently opened, a white-haired old lady was already standing at the gate of the courtyard facing Yu Suozhu, and whispered to Yu Suozhu: "The pillar is here?" Are you busy in the shop today? ”

Nodding slightly towards the white-haired old lady, Yu Suozhu also lowered his voice and responded: "Right now, the county town is in chaos, and there are few serious people going to the restaurant to eat, so don't I just sneak in to see the master?" Master, are you okay at home? Nobody's messing around here, is there? ”

Let go of the door to enter the hospital, and the white-haired old lady whispered: "Seeing that there are people coming to search, and the people who came to search today have just left." But we are a poor family, we can see it clean at a glance inside and outside the house, what can we search for? Pillar, don't stand here, there's something to say in the room......"

Stepping into the courtyard gate, Yu Suozhu quickly turned his hand and closed the courtyard door, and then whispered to the white-haired old lady: "Master, those guests ......"

Towards a side room in the courtyard that didn't even have a door, the white-haired old lady whispered: "It's all hidden in that room!" You just have to talk to them, and the master will help you keep an eye on the portal! ”

He snatched out two pieces of dry food and some lamb meat from the lotus leaf bag, and Yu Suozhu stuffed the food into the old lady's hand without saying a word, and then strode into the broken house that did not even have a door, and reached out and knocked three times on a broken water tank resting in the corner of the house.

Hearing two gentle knocks from under the broken water tank, Yu Suozhu grabbed the edge of the tank and forcefully moved the water tank containing most of the water from the corner of the house, revealing a hole in the thickness of a bucket under the water tank.

Facing Mo Tianliu, who showed his face from the hole under the water tank, Yu Suozhu squatted down and said to Mo Tianliu: "Brother Tianliu, hurry up and relax and eat something, right?" I've been in this cave for three days, but it's really hard for you! ”

With both hands on the edge of the exit of the cave, Mo Tianliu had already jumped out of the hole lightly, and took the lotus leaf bag handed over to him by Yu Suozhu: "Master Yu, this time it's really hard for you - you have to investigate the movement on the street for us, and you have to think of ways to get us food and drink......"

Waving his hand towards Mo Tianliu, Yu Suozhu looked at Tu Kou'er who showed his face from the hole in the ground, and interrupted Mo Tianliu's words in a low voice: "Brother Tianliu, let's not say more polite words!" No matter what else, just because you cleaned up Liu Hongyan last time, and you can still kill so many devils this time, I have to say admiration to you! If there is any place where I can use my remaining lock pillars, you don't have to be polite! ”

Immediately behind Tu Kou'er, the group of chestnuts also quietly came out of the hole, and said in harmony to Yu Suozhu who was standing next to the hole: "Master Yu is right, our Eighth Route Army and the common people are originally a family, so naturally there is no need to talk to the two families!" Master Yu, you didn't get a chance to come back yesterday, what is the situation in Qingle County right now? ”

Turning his head to look at the old lady standing at the gate of the courtyard and watching the movement, Yu Suozhu lowered his voice and said: "Captain Li, the devil and the second devil are still searching all over the city, and after three days of hard work, just in the Japanese gendarmerie, they have closed the shopkeepers and guys in Qingle County, No. 10, and they are all looking for an unspeakable reason, forcing them to pay food to redeem their lives!" I heard from the two devils who came to eat Baiweixian that the devil head of Qingle County was like crazy in the past few days, smoking a lot of devils and the second devil's big mouth, and also locked up the little devil boss who was guarding the grain depot......"

"The devil and the second devil didn't go out of the city to grab food again?"

"There were also people who left the city, but all of them came back empty-handed after dark, as if they had not been able to grab any more food."

"How many people are the devils patrolling the city at night?"

"Many! As soon as the black devils wiped the day, they patrolled the city, and they were all two or three devils leading seven or eight two devils, and the guns were not carried on their shoulders, all of them were in their hands! Last night, there was a family and family members who were seriously ill, and when it was dark, they went to the street to ask for a doctor, but the little devil didn't even ask, and immediately shot ......"

Nodding slightly, the chestnut group pondered for a moment, and then turned his head to Mo Tianliu, who was standing beside him, and said, "Tianliu, I guess the fire is coming!" From tonight, you and Mankura and Arita will go to the street to write slogans! But don't remember - you can't meet the devils and the second devils who patrol the city, the slogan is best written on the street, and the closer to the devil's military police headquarters and the military camp of the Imperial Cooperative Army, the better! ”

Nodding neatly, Mo Tianliu gulped down the dry food and said vaguely towards the group of chestnuts: "Big boss, these days in the cave in the ground, you taught me to write the words of those slogans....... I think it's good, but I just don't get angry? ”

"Don't lift your breath?"

"That's right! Wen crepe - Down with Japanese imperialism, Japanese devils get out of China....... The truth is such a truth, but I just don't feel angry! I said big boss, can I add some other words? ”

"Other words? What's the word? ”

"You just don't have to ask about this, storage is a good word to boost your energy!"
