As soon as the sky was bright, before the rooster began to crow, the whole Penglai Village was still immersed in a quiet dreamland, and the friction sound between the uniform military boots and the ground suddenly sounded abruptly, piercing the tranquility, and the dogs of all sizes in the village first changed from a lazy sleeping position to a standing posture alert around, pricking up their ears and waiting for the battle, and then, the barking of dogs filled the entire village.

Qin Shouren, who was asleep, was awakened by the barking of the dog, he opened his eyes, lifted the quilt, reluctantly got up from the quilt, pulled the cloth shoes, walked to the yard, and muttered to the big yellow dog in his house: "Shut up, Golden Retriever, what are you making a fuss about."

Seeing that the owner was displeased, the golden retriever was aggrieved and silent.

Qin Shouren saw that the golden retriever was like a child who had done something wrong, lowered his head, and made a slight grunt in his mouth, so he turned around and walked to the stove, picked up a piece of meat and bones and threw it to him: "Gnaw your bones, don't follow the fool."

After Qin Shouren finished speaking, he was just about to turn around and go back to the house, when suddenly there was a sudden sound of tapping on the courtyard door of his house: "Qin ...... Qin Baochang...... At...... Are you at home?"

As soon as Qin Shouren heard it, he knew that it was the stammering Gou Shun in the village, this Gou Shun was the second child of the Gou family, a famous scoundrel in the village, he didn't learn well when he was young, he didn't learn well, he didn't steal chickens and dogs, or he was abducted and cheated, and there were many people in the village who didn't want to see him, but as soon as the Japanese came, this kid changed his body, and his spirit came to life, following Feng Degui's traitors behind the buttocks, showing off his might, often yelling at those honest villagers, raising his eyebrows and raising his eyes, and the big guys avoided him as if they had seen a plague god, which made Gou Shun unhappy, He was finally able to make people nervous and scared, and the feeling of this salted fish turning over was really fucking comfortable, but the stutter brought out of the mother's womb still became the laughing stock of the villagers.

Although after slapping the thigh of the Japanese, it really made Gou Shun raise his eyebrows, but now except for his Japanese masters and traitor godfathers who can spray him with a spit on the stars, or offer him with a big-eared scraper, the rest of the people in the village no longer dare to reprimand him for a lesson.

However, there are still a few people in the village who make Gou Shun jealous, and this Qin Shouren is one of them.

Qin Shouren is less than forty years old, but he looks much older than his actual age, he is one of the few scholars in the village, his father Qin Anbang was a talent of the previous dynasty when he was alive, and he was a man who was persistent and peaceful, impartial, so he was elected by the villagers as the chief of security, and was respected by the villagers.

After Qin Anbang's death, Qin Shouren was elected by the villagers as the chief of the village because of his filial piety, benevolence, gentleness and generosity. But after just two years, the Japanese came, Qin Shouren knew that working under the Japanese, like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, not a person inside and out, and he had to work with a traitor lackey like Feng Degui, Gou Shun and such a ruffian, this taste is simply more disgusting than eating flies, so he wanted to resign from the post of security chief, but he never expected that as soon as he handed in his resignation on the front foot, he was called to the security station under the jurisdiction of the Japanese army on the back foot, and was reprimanded by the Japanese Shao Ito, although he couldn't understand Japanese, But the two slap marks on his face still made Qin Shouren's attitude towards the Japanese clear, and the fat translator next to him told him that Shao Zuo was very angry at his uncooperative attitude and was suspected of resisting Japan; And Feng Degui, the landlord in the village and now a red man in front of the Japanese, threatened him on the side, saying that he wanted to track down the whereabouts of his second brother Qin Shouyi and his eldest son Qin Sixian, and this was Qin Shouren's weakness, so he immediately withdrew his life, so he had to bite the bullet and continue to tremble to be this pseudo-security chief.

Qin Shouren pulled the bolt of the door and looked disgusted: "It's so early, the chickens haven't crowed yet, what are you two dogs jumping around?"

"I ...... I was just...... Surname...... The surname is Gou, and the ...... is Ranking...... Second, ...... again It's not...... It's not a dog, why are you old...... It's always called...... Call me two...... Two dogs?"

"Look at you like that, and you still look like a human, and the dogs hate you. Calling you two dogs is considered to lift you. Qin Shouren glanced at Gou Shun and responded angrily.

"Qin ...... Shouren, you ...... Don't you ...... Don't be small...... Look down on people and say...... Maybe...... Later...... You...... You've got to ...... I still have to call ...... Call me...... A ...... A second master. Gou Shun looked unconvinced.

"Okay, Sensei is talking nonsense, listening to you, my intestines are about to break. Say, what's the matter with me so early?" Qin Shouren asked lazily while pinching his ears with his fingers.

"Qin ...... Qin Baochang...... There are many nobles...... How forgetful, you forget...... Taijun Qian...... Not ...... the other day Didn't you say it, today...... Want...... To make it public...... Execute...... An anti-...... Anti-Japanese elements, let you ...... You go to the village...... Knock...... Knock...... Beat the gong and shout, let the villagers ...... Go to school...... See...... Look at the execution. I...... I am...... Specially...... to notify ...... Yours, you're quick...... Knock on the ...... Knock the gong, Taijun has already ...... Already in ...... ...... on the school field The gallows is on. ”

"I know this, isn't there a notice in front of and behind the village? The Japanese want to kill people, there are many means, why bother so much, what kind of gallows, give him a shuttle, isn't it more convenient, or use a bayonet to pick him to death, this matter, the Japanese have not done it in our village, why do they have to make a nondescript gallows? Qin Shouren couldn't understand why it was necessary to make such a big move to kill an anti-Japanese element, and he had to let the whole village go and watch the execution.

"Qin ...... Qin Baochang has ...... I don't know, Ito ...... Shaozo said it, and said yes...... Hanging is...... is the most ...... Shocking, can ...... Can it play a ...... Deter...... Anti-Japanese ...... ...... of anti-Japanese elements Function. And...... After the execution...... Still...... Hanging on ...... ...... on the gallows Violent Corpse ...... Three days. So...... Today...... Look at the execution...... Time...... It's longer, everybody...... Have to...... Must be ...... in advance Present. Gou Shun patiently explained to Qin Shouren.

"Didn't you say that the execution would not be carried out until ten o'clock, and it would be necessary to wake people up from the bed early in the morning?" Qin Shouren knew that Gou Shun got up early in the morning just to behave in front of the Japanese and leave a good impression on the Japanese master, but why did he have to pull the whole village to be his foil, he couldn't see Gou Shun's villainous face the most.

Taijun said...... To ...... early Two small ...... hours arrived, I ...... I think...... Right now...... Wake them up...... Also...... It's pretty much it. ”

"Ergouzi, you don't use chicken feathers as arrows, it's not even six o'clock now, you let the big guy stand on the school field so early, do you know how poisonous the sun is on this hot day?"

"That's it...... to appear ...... We...... Disheveled...... Penglai Village ...... ...... to Taijun The attitude is greatly ...... Great, good. Gou Shun grinned at Qin Shouren, revealing two large yellow teeth.

Qin Shouren felt disgusted with Gou Shun's servile face and charming bones from the bottom of his heart, so he replied angrily: "I am worthy of being a filial son and a virtuous grandson, I can't compare, I had a fever yesterday, and I am tired today, I have to go and sleep for me, come on, you have to go and go by yourself, I will give you the gong, you go and cheer for me."

After Qin Shouren finished speaking, he took down a gong and a small mallet from the wall, stuffed it into Gou Shun's arms, and then closed the door: "It's good to go, don't send it."

Qin Shouren didn't want to do this thing that made the villagers poke their backbones!

Gou Shun coldly had an extra gong in his arms, and before he could speak, the door was closed, Gou Shun just wanted to knock on the door, but he didn't pay attention, the gong fell to the ground with a bang, making a piercing sound, Gou Shun bent down to pick up the gong, and suddenly found that there was a big hole in the gong.

Gou Shun picked up the broken gong and exclaimed: "Ah, it's broken!" ”

Gou Shun shouted helplessly and resentfully into the courtyard: "Okay...... Good...... You Qin ...... Qin Shouren, you let ...... Let me...... I'm a ...... A stammer...... Go and bang the gong...... Shout, you ...... You...... Ann is...... What kind of heart is it? ”

"Stammering and breaking the gong, Penglai Village is a must!"

Qin Shouren's mocking voice of relief came from the courtyard.
