Chapter Twenty-Four: Fighting Devils Can Make Money
In order to settle the rescued Qin Tianyou and others, Hu Biao not only rented a house in the core area of the concession, but also bought a house in the slum area on the edge of the concession, which was used as a safe foothold.
This is a shop facing the river and the street, and in these days of wandering around the concession, Hu Biao finally chose this house. Naturally, opening a shop is a stumbling man, more to settle people, and there is a foothold in the concession.
If Qin Tianyou and others were brought into the concession, Hu Biao was also worried about attracting the attention of the concession authorities. On the other hand, in this kind of slum commercial street, the flow of people is still relatively dense, and this kind of grocery store is also very inconspicuous and unnoticeable.
Earlier, in the market, in order to manage the villa he rented, Hu Biao found a down-and-out gentleman who was said to have worked as a housekeeper for others. The man who runs the grocery store now is also the son of the butler.
As for the housekeeper and his wife, they were arranged by Hu Biao in the villa area of the concession. Packing the other party's family is more convenient to manage in Hu Biao's opinion. In this world, if you can't find a job in Shanghai, you may starve to death.
It is undoubtedly the family's luck to find such a job. Born in a large family, this family knows better than anyone else that it is better to do things well and not ask the truth of the master's family affairs. With Hu Biao taking care of it, no one dared to find any trouble.
Located in the riverside backyard of the grocery store, a table of reception banquets has been prepared for a long time. Qin Tianyou and the others, who were seated after washing, naturally felt very warm in their hearts when they saw what Hu Biao had prepared, and they were also grateful for Hu Biao's rescue.
After sitting down, Hu Biao also raised his glass and said: "This first glass of wine, I wish us to escape our life and finally regain our freedom, a toast!" ”
Qin Tianyou, who also raised a glass, also agreed: "Yes, a toast to freedom!" ”
Although you don't have to worry about food and clothing in the lonely barracks, being locked up in the barracks every day is no different from being in prison after all. Even if Xie Jinyuan still enforces the rules of the army, who will feel comfortable when he sees those foreign devils with guns at the camp gate?
And now, Qin Tianyou and others have finally escaped from the cage, which is indeed worth celebrating. Even if they knew in their hearts that there must be a reason for Hu Biao to rescue them, they all felt that it would not be a bad thing after all.
After drinking the first cup, Hu Biao continued: "Although I would like to replace Tuanza and the other brothers, you know that in this situation, it is almost impossible. And I am alone, and my strength is limited after all.
Brother Xu, I have already introduced you before, and he was also a good hand in the battalion reconnaissance platoon earlier. The other brothers have been dealing with me for a long time. In the future, we will have another pot to eat, if there is anything wrong, please forgive me! ”
Listening to what Hu Biao said, Chen Qiang, who served as the fifth squad leader in the machine gun company earlier, was also curious: "Biaozi, when I came out before, the company commander also explained, let us listen to you after we come out, and you can say anything directly."
We can live to this day, it is already a great blessing and a great life. I thought I was imprisoned by foreign devils, but I don't think I have much hope in this life. Now that you can come out alive, you bothered to rescue it, and we have to pay it back! ”
"Fifth squad leader, if you are not gracious, you will be exempted. In fact, before I rescued you, I wondered if it was worth it. Although staying in the lonely military camp is said to lose freedom, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and there is no danger for the time being.
Now that I rescued you, I naturally want to do something big. This means that we, including me, could all die on the battlefield. There is only one life, and I don't want to die in vain, let alone my brothers.
But in this world, if people like us want to live, I'm afraid it's not easy. Although we have all walked through the ghost gate, I think it is better to live than to lose our lives. Please come out, I also hope to have a foil. ”
"Brother Biao, what are you going to do? Except for carrying guns and selling coolies, I don't seem to have much! ”
As one of the seven people rescued, Huang Erzhuan undoubtedly has the shortest military experience, and it only took about half a year from enlistment to the battlefield. After less than three months of training in the rear, he was sent to the battlefield and subsequently assigned to a machine-gun company.
Earlier in the Sixing Warehouse, Huang Erzhuan had been by Hu Biao's side, and he also admired Hu Biao's ability to fight. Although he has been a soldier for a short time, Huang Erzhuan knows very well that following the master on the battlefield has a better chance of survival.
This time he learned that he was among the rescued, Huang Erzhuan was excited and worried, excited that he could regain his freedom, and worried about what he could do after he came out? Useless people will eventually be eliminated.
Facing Huang Erzhuo's inquiry, Hu Biao said with a smile: "I am born to be useful, you kid has a good brain, and your eyesight is also good, and it can also come in handy if you have more experience in the future." Most importantly, you are all my brothers.
Don't hide it from your brothers, originally based on the merits of the previous time, I was given a lieutenant from above, and I could go to the rear to lead troops as a company commander. But I think it's boring to be such an official, and I still have to listen to Shangfeng's instructions for everything.
As the second bolt said, we really don't have many other skills, only being a soldier and fighting are quite proficient. At present, the little devils are rampant, burning, killing and robbing on our territory, and we can't avoid it without fighting.
Invite a few brothers out, I also want to form a small team, and we will fight the black guns of the little devils behind enemy lines. If there is a cheap fight, we will fight when it is outdated, and if it is not beaten, we will run. Really go to the front line, a few of us are not enough little devils to stuff their teeth.
But if we stay in the rear, we can do a lot of the same, probe the military intelligence of the little devils, ambush the little devils' transport troops, and rob the little devils' supplies. Even if you can fight devils, you can also make some money selling your life, why don't you do this? ”
Just as everyone was digesting Hu Biao's words, Hu Biao continued: "Brothers, you should know that before, like you, I was a big soldier who didn't love my uncle and didn't love me. But why did the military commanders help me this time?
The reason is simple, because I have what they need in my hands. In addition, during this time outside, I made a lot of money, rented a house in the concession, and became a neighbor with foreign devils.
Even this grocery store is also a place for us to rest temporarily. Don't dare to say anything else, as long as you brothers really fight me as little devils, I guarantee that you don't have to worry about running out of money to spend in the future.
Although I am alone, and the whole family is not hungry when one person feeds and the whole family is not hungry, you should have relatives in your hometown. Earlier, when I was a soldier, I was fed food, and the little salary I received was afraid that I couldn't help my family at all. Do it yourself, and make more and less depends on your own efforts.
When you earn enough money, you can also resettle your family in a place where there is no war, buy some family property and land, and let your family live a peaceful life. When you want to leave, I will not stop you! ”
Talking about things with money is somewhat inferior. But in Hu Biao's view, Qin Tianyou and others are all the pillars of the family or men. Some people, before becoming soldiers, even became relatives and had a family background, and they are also considered to be 'old and young'.
If you can still make money by being a soldier carrying a gun and fighting little devils, why not do this? After making money, going to a place where little devils can't hit and become a small landlord is believed to be the dream and wish of many ordinary soldiers.
After a while, Qin Tianyou was curious: "Biaozi, how did you get this money?" ”
"Fight devils! We don't have money, but the little devil has money! These little devils are forcibly grabbing our territory, and they all have a lot of money. Find the right opportunity to kill a few little devils and raid their homes, won't the money come?
There are a lot of rich little devils in this concession, and I will take you to do a ticket after two days. With the money earned, let's buy some good things and track the black gun behind the little devil.
Although we are all rough people, we all live from nine deaths. Those brothers who were killed by the little devils earlier, their hatred cannot be forgotten. We can't forget the people who were killed by the little devils.
We won't do anything about sending people to death. How to fight, when I go to the battlefield, I have my own opinions. is still the same sentence, brothers who are willing to stay and work together, we will depend on each other for life and death in the future. If you don't want to do it, I won't force it, and I'll send you the money to go home! ”
Compared with the cultural literacy of soldiers in the army in later generations, many big-headed soldiers in this era do not know a single word. No matter how much they say about protecting the family and defending the country, they can't understand it. But the soldiers of this era are still simple and hot-blooded.
Avenging the brothers who died in battle is also one of the reasons why these soldiers are willing to fight with the little devils. Seeing the little devils oppressing the good people, these soldiers who don't understand the big truth will still be filled with righteous indignation and still have blood in their hearts.
Now that Hu Biao has instilled in them the truth that they can make money by beating little devils, they naturally will not refuse. In the final analysis, the big-headed soldiers are uneducated and rude, but many big-headed soldiers are righteous and believe in the loyalty of 'a good man after eighteen years'.
As a result, it was obvious that in the face of Hu Biao's invitation, Qin Tianyou and others did not refuse. As far as they are concerned, even if they are allowed to go home now, they are afraid that they will not go back. If they really choose to leave, it will make them feel very unrighteous and ashamed.
And after this reception banquet, Hu Biao naturally became the leader of the team. Of course, if you want to be a good leader, Hu Biao will also show the ability to really make them awe in the next time!
