Chapter 4 Honors (No. 5)

"Eight Ways.." The local cadres dressed as shop guys laughed heartily. One by one, unconsciously. Keep your waist straight.

Even Tang Renli, who couldn't find much sense of belonging in the Chabei Military Division. At this moment. I also feel extremely proud in my heart. Even the wind in the wilderness has softened. There is also a faint fragrance of wild flowers.

"Just know. Don't talk nonsense, guys. lest you get yourself in trouble." Lao Qiu, the leader of the temporary caravan, admonished again. Raise your whip high." Drive."

The carriage started quickly. Rumbling forward with a truckload full of goods. The minds of the vendors were still stuck in the thrilling encounter just now. The conversation continues around Redbeard and the Blackstone guerrillas.

As the most experienced person at the bottom of the society in this era. They see a lot of things and have their own relatively independent perspectives. Opinions are also not easily swayed by newspapers and broadcasts. Whether it's the broadcast of the little devils. Or a newspaper secretly circulated by the national government through underground channels.

The little devils are always showing off their strength on the radio. The vendors, however, saw a Blackstone guerrilla. Just let the little devil be helpless. While Redbeard and his Blackstone guerrillas. The biggest result was just the elimination of dozens of devil soldiers. It is not at all comparable to the national government newspapers announcing all kinds of great victories. But those great victories took place thousands of miles to the southwest. And the little devil that Redbeard killed. But it's really under everyone's noses.

They don't read much. The insight is also very limited. I can't say anything far-reaching. But they don't blindfold themselves and pretend to be high. to show how sober you are. How different. They saw their fellow citizens being slaughtered by the little devils. I hate devils and traitors to the core. And Redbeard dares to kill little devils and traitors. It's their hero. The hero in their hearts. Aiwu and the house. Even with his admiration for the many redbeards and anti-Japanese guerrillas. Although they don't really have a lot of opportunities to deal with Dirt Eight Road. Nothing is known about the latter's political claims.

They are known for the simplicity and kindness of the common people of this era. Make your own judgment. They use the folk imagination. Plating the heroes in your mind with layers of halo. In order to make the image of the hero closer to the perfection in his heart. Their lively chatter was accompanied by the wind on the prairie. Wave after wave drilled into the ears of Tang Renli and other local cadres. Tang Renli and other local cadres are proud. It also feels heavy on my shoulders. There is a special sense of mission in my heart.

Truly. The Chinese people of this era did not hold any power in their hands. But their words. But it allows the subject of the review to know whether the effort is worth it. The Chinese people of this era are not qualified. for a long time to come. I'm afraid I'm not qualified to award medals to anyone. But their word of mouth. But it is the greatest of all the medals in the world. The supreme of all honors. Once hung up. The recipient of the medal is like the giant Antey in ancient Greek legends. As long as your feet don't leave the earth. It will never be knocked down. Regardless of the opponent coming from the high hilltop temple. Or the deep hell of the River Styx.

While chatting about the legend of Redbeard and his Blackstone guerrillas. The caravan continued on its way. The next two days. No more horse thieves and bandits came forward to ask for trouble. There were several horse thief spies with guns on their backs. It was clear that he had run to the side of the caravan. See a small red flag on the carriage. Immediately pretended to be a passerby. Hurried past the convoy. Never look back.

On the third day, we walked another morning. Seeing that he has entered the realm of the Black Stone Village. A few small traders whose original destination was not Crescent Lake prepared to break away from the brigade. Iconic landforms from the front. A large pine forest in front turns head to the east. They didn't wait for them to pull their wagons out of the brigade. Suddenly there were several arrogant gunshots in the woods in the distance. Immediately after. More than fifty people wore yellow uniforms. A ruffian with a pentagram cap on his head sprang out from the edge of the woods. One by one, they are holding half-new 38 big covers. As if a fierce god was yelling, "Don't move. Stop the carriage. Whoever moves again will be killed." (Note 1)

"Be prepared. They are the puppet army of Blackstone Village." The traffic officer Lao He immediately pressed his hand to his waist. At the same time, he whispered orders to the surrounding local cadres.

It's different from the steppe horse thieves that everyone encountered by chance before. This puppet army is clearly prepared. Don't turn the convoy upside down. Definitely not to give up. And the cadres of the trucks. It simply doesn't stand up to any scrutiny. Just move a few baskets of groceries away from the surface. The bullets and medicines that are loaded on the bottom of the carriage will be exposed.

No need to be reminded. A group of local cadres also rely on years of experience in dealing with the puppet army. Quietly ready for battle. Only patriotic overseas Chinese Tang Renli. Because it's rare and weird. Vultures looked straight at the other side. Kept muttering in his mouth." What the hell is it? A group of guys who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard. Have the ability to find Redbeard. I don't think you three dare to borrow it."

His words caused a low burst of laughter. A few of the younger guys in the caravan. They also stretched out their hands to their waists. At the same time shaking his head and pouting. Told a heroic story along the way. Soon to the top of Redbeard's field. They don't want to be taken for a soft eye. It's a big deal that the two sides fight to break the net. Iron guys in their hands. Who can be how much worse than whom..

As the temporary leader of the caravan. Old Jianghu Qiu Zheng didn't dare to take the initiative to provoke trouble. First turned around and glanced at it a few times. Suppress the young guys in the team with their gaze. Then he walked out of the line with a large bag of silver dollars on his back. He saluted the leader of the puppet army with both hands in his fists." Ladies and gentlemen. Those of us who do small business are preparing to go to Heishi Village to catch the summer fair. I don't know that the military masters are performing official duties here. Where to bother. Please bear with me."

After saying the polite words. Then he took down the blanket with the silver dollar on his shoulder. Deliberately shook out a few crunch sounds. Send it to each other with a smile. Who would have thought that this trick would work against all the checkpoints along the way. At the moment, it suddenly didn't work. The puppet army leading the team pricked up their eyes. Shouted loudly." Collapse it. I don't eat your set. Go to Blackstone Village to do business. Are you really going to Blackstone Village? Or prepare to bypass the Black Rock Village. Secretly go somewhere else.."
