Chapter 258: The One Who Delivered the Letter

In the south of Hengqu County, there are three kilns, a declining kiln factory.

Smeared into the village next to the kiln factory, Zhao Shixun found the family that Lao He said according to the location in his memory.

With a fierce force under his feet, Zhao Shixun jumped directly over the wall and into the yard.

Click......

The tiles that were deliberately laid on the ground were crushed by the soles of the feet, making a crisp sound.

"Who's out there!"

Not long after the voice of an old man sounded, a figure appeared from the window as an oil lamp was lit.

"Where did you come from, the wild man came to the wrong place to touch things, and if you don't get out, you won't agree to the shotgun in Grandpa's hand!"

"Master, be careful......."

As the voice of an old lady came, an oil lamp lit up in the other room.

Hearing the voice, Zhao Shixun wiped the sweat on his head and stood in the courtyard without moving.

Coming in through the wall late at night, he didn't want to be shot in a daze.

Squeak......

The wooden door was pushed open, and an old man with a musket stepped out.

"This brother ......, we don't have much oil and water at home, if you want to get rich, you're in the wrong place."

"I'm looking for someone ......."

Ignoring the other party's threat, Zhao Shixun directly explained his intentions.

"Hehe......, we don't know you, so hurry up and open the door and get out!"

"I'm looking for someone ......."

"I said, you're a man, why don't you turn your brain? We don't know you, who are you looking for? ”

"I'm looking for Li Chunfeng ......."

"Li ......, Li Chunfeng?"

Hearing the name of the black shadow, the man was also stunned.

"Dad...... he's here to find me, put down the gun and be careful!"

While speaking, a young girl walked out with an oil lamp, despite the obstruction of the old lady in the house.

"Who are you, why haven't I seen you?"

Holding the oil lamp, Li Chunfeng looked at the shadow in the darkness and asked a little puzzled.

Seeing the other party's appearance clearly, Zhao Shixun hurriedly took off his hat, and then wiped the dirt on his face indiscriminately.

"Yike...... You are Company Commander Zhao! ”

……

"What? Company Commander Zhao......? What nonsense are you talking about, girl? ”

Seeing that his father was still confused, Li Chunfeng hurriedly walked over and snatched his musket.

"Daddy...... He is the big hero I told you about fighting devils, Company Commander Zhao of the Eighth Route Army! ”

……

Sitting on the edge of the kang with his arms propped up, Li Chunfeng looked at Zhao Shixun who was gobbling up with a smile. Seeing that the other party was a little anxious to eat, she hurriedly patted the other party on the back sensibly.

"Company Commander Zhao, slow down, no one will go with you to grab ......."

With a slight forehead, Zhao Shixun ate the cake in his hand in two bites, and then picked up the teacup on the table and poured it out.

After eating and drinking, Zhao Shixun looked at Li Chunfeng, who was smiling in front of him, and said solemnly:

"Something happened ......, you have to help me!"

Hearing this, Li Chunfeng was startled on the spot. Zhao Shixun hasn't said two words since he entered the house, and now this mouth is indeed such shocking news.

"What's the matter...... what's wrong...... Could it be that the Zhou family is backwater? ”

Li Chunfeng knew from Lao He's mouth that Zhao Shixun and the others were hiding in Zhou Village, so he immediately thought that something might be wrong with the Zhou family.

Shaking his head gently, Zhao Shixun rubbed his tired face.

"The specific details are not clear, it should probably be that the housekeeper of the Zhou family and the head of the nursing home are colluding to take advantage of the Zhou family's whole thing of taking in the eight roads to seize the Zhou family's property.

We fell into a trap at noon this day, and my people were all caught by the Zhou family's nursing home. ”

"Ah......h How so!? That...... What about Lao He? Lao He was also arrested? ”

Looking at the shocked Li Chunfeng, Zhao Shixun shook his head slightly.

"Lao He is fine, he arranged for the transfer of the fortress in advance, and I don't know the specific location of this one."

Nodding dumbly, Li Chunfeng looked at Zhao Shixun and said anxiously:

"Such a serious ......, Company Commander Zhao, you will rest here first, and I will go and gather all the scattered comrades back?"

"No, that won't work!"

Seeing that Li Chunfeng was about to go out, Zhao Shixun hurriedly grabbed the other party's hand.

"Your people are too poorly equipped or trained to do this!"

"But...... But we can't just wait....... ”

Pulling the other party to his side, Zhao Shixun stared at Li Chunfeng's eyes and asked:

"What time does the gate open?"

"Eight o'clock in the morning......."

Feeling the strength in the other party's hand and the heat sprayed on his face, Li Chunfeng's face turned red instantly, and his voice was even more like a mosquito.

Although he found the embarrassment on the other party's face, Zhao Shixun didn't care at all, he was now full of how to rescue his brother, and he didn't bother to think about other details.

Letting go of Li Chunfeng's hand, Zhao Shixun thought for a moment, then looked at Li Chunfeng in front of him and said:

"Give me paper and pen!"

"Oh......, I'll get it!"

Not long after going out like a gust of wind, with a smell of body fragrance, Li Chunfeng quickly put the pencil and yellow paper in his hand on the table on the kang head.

Picking up the pencil tip, Zhao Shixun thought for a while, and then wrote seriously on the paper:

"Zhou Yu, old and immortal.

We rescued Yang Chenghu, the commander of the special service battalion, in Xiaowangzhuang, because the battalion commander Yang was seriously injured, so he lurked in Zhou Village under the leadership of the underground party to repair.

At noon today, there was civil strife in the Zhou family, and the housekeepers of the Zhou family colluded with the nursing home to attack us.

Now all but me have been captured by the enemy. When you two get the letter, follow the messenger and increase your number.

The Japanese puppet forces in this generation are complex, and the number of people coming to help should not exceed 20 people, more veterans should be brought, and ammunition should be fully prepared. This mission is urgent, so be sure to arrive as soon as possible! ”

After writing the last word, Zhao Shixun folded the yellow paper in half and solemnly put it in Li Chunfeng's hand.

"Miss Li, do you know where Shenquan Village is?"

"Well, I know, it's in the mountains to the west."

"......Okay, Miss Li, the current station of our Seventh Company is there, you clean up, set off immediately after dawn, and be sure to send this piece of paper to Instructor Zhou Yuzhou!"

After the words were closed, Zhao Shixun took a long sigh of relief, and after taking a deep look at the other party, he hurriedly rushed out of the house without looking back.

……

Dawn, like a sharp sword, splits the silent night and ushers in the rising sun.

On the official road into the city, Qiao Yong sat in the bumpy carriage, closed his eyes and hummed a small song.

Due to yesterday's surprisingly smooth operation, Qiao Yong still has a feeling of being in a dream.

Thinking that he would soon become a "powerful" rich man, Qiao Yong couldn't even believe that this was true.

As a rough and well-written housekeeper, he has been a servant in the Zhou family for twenty years. Starting from an ordinary bookkeeper in the Zhou family's warehouse, to the chief housekeeper who manages the entire Zhou family, Qiao Yong has worked hard for twenty years.

Two years ago, Qiao Yong, who was unwilling to send someone for the rest of his life, poured everything he had, and embezzled part of the Zhou family's money to do a few big deals in smuggling contraband items in Zhongtiao Mountain.

I thought that I could make some quick money with this, and then go to the south to enjoy a few years of happiness and spend this war-torn years.

Who knows that people are not as good as heaven, and his last sale happened to coincide with the bloody battle of Zhongtiao Mountain. All the goods were forcibly requisitioned by the retreating Central Army, not to mention, and he was almost caught.

If it weren't for the gendarmes who bribed the national army with all he had, Qiao Yong would have been shot as a smuggler a few months ago.

However, although he saved his life, Qiao Yong lost his savings for decades. Not only that, but the money from the Zhou family that he embezzled privately was also put in.

…… Two months ago, when Zhou Hongwen was preparing to purchase the grain money for autumn grain, he accidentally discovered that Qiao Yong had embezzled money from the Zhou family's account.

Knowing that things were failing, Qiao Yong had been up and down in his heart for a while, for fear that Zhou Hongwen would come to settle accounts with him.

This time, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Zhou family's private hiding of eight roads, Qiao Yong finally waited for a salted fish to turn over. Not only did he no longer have to worry about the Zhou family settling accounts with him, but he also completely appropriated the huge wealth of the Zhou family for himself.

Sitting in the car, Qiao Yong thought that he was about to become a celebrity in the eyes of the Japanese, and his heart was like eating honey.

As for the matter of being a traitor and taking refuge with the Japanese, Qiao Yong did not have the slightest resistance in his heart.

In his opinion, if it weren't for the Kuomintang troops who forcibly requisitioned their own goods, why would he have been forced to go to this step!

I have come to this day, and I have been forced by these bastards!

Since these people don't let themselves live a good life, they still care about what the country's righteousness will do.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yong lifted the curtain and glanced at the gradually brighter sky outside, and asked anxiously:

"I said horse monkey, how long will it take for us to get to the county seat? Lao Tzu's ass hurts! ”

When the horse monkey sitting in front of him heard this, he hurriedly waved his whip a few times.

"Master Qiao, don't worry, let's set off before dawn, I estimate that we will definitely be able to see the county seat if we walk two miles at most."

Listening to the sentence in the mouth of the horse monkey, Qiao Yong instantly felt like eating honey.

Satisfied, he stretched out his hand and patted the horse monkey's shoulder, and Qiao Yong's tone became a lot more enthusiastic.

"Brother Horse Monkey...... you have been in the Zhou Mansion for some years."

"Thank you Master Qiao for your concern, the youngest I sold myself as a slave to the Zhou family at the age of fifteen, and now it has been exactly five years."

……

"Yo ......, you're twenty years old. Have you started a family? ”

Hearing this, the horse monkey shrugged his shoulders.

"Master Qiao laughed...... I am a poor horse and monkey, it would be good if I could mix a round belly, how dare I think about starting a family and marrying a daughter-in-law."

Hearing the helplessness in the other party's words, Qiao Yong was happy.

"Alas......, Brother Horse Monkey, this is your fault, as the so-called unfilial piety has three nothings, you have to start a family as soon as possible.

Besides, now that we are in troubled times, it is an era of outstanding people, how can you make up your mind early. ”
