Chapter 62: An Unexpected Discovery of Chinese and Japanese In-laws
Chapter 62 Accidental discovery of Chinese and Japanese in-laws
The county seat of Lin'an County. Ding's compound. North Room of the Middle Courtyard. In the living room of the Japanese headquarters.
Ding Ruxuan said reluctantly: "My cousin's name is Li Guilan, she is in your country of Japan, and she has been there for many years. After 37 years, her correspondence with our family was cut off. β
Eiichi Nakagawa took out an identical photo from the pocket of his military uniform, and carefully compared and looked at it carefully.
Ding Ruxuan's eyes widened in surprise and he looked at Zhongchuan and asked puzzledly:
"Huh? How do you have a picture of my cousin? Do you know her? β
Eiichi Nakagawa said a little emotionally: "She is my wife, we have a beautiful daughter and a lovely son, and our husband and wife have a very good relationship. β
Ding Ruxuan was taken aback: "What?!" What the?! My cousin is your wife?! Ouch, why, how could this be? How can I go out to meet people in the future? β
Nakagawa Rong asked with a displeased face: "Mr. Ding, your cousin is my wife, does this make you very unhappy?!" You say, why is that?! β
"Ouch, how can I be happy? Nakagawa Taijun, think about it, you brought the Japanese army to attack our China, killed so many people, the Chinese hate you. If they knew that my cousin was your wife, wouldn't my Ding family become traitors, then they would also hate me and my family, and if the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army knew, it would be even worse, and they might send someone to kill our whole family, which is terrible. β
"Hahahaha, Mr. Ding, you are completely wrong. The Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire came to China to help your country in its construction, to establish the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, and to build a greater East Asia co-prosperity sphere, entirely for the sake of Japan-China goodwill. If you Chinese do not resist, we will not kill. β
Ding Ruxuan walked out as he spoke: "No, no, you, you, you are quibbling." You say that you came to China to help with construction, but how can you drive planes, tanks, and artillery everywhere to kill people and set fire to carry out construction? I won't tell you, I'm leaving, I'm hungry and haven't eaten yet. β
Nakagawa Eiichi shouted: "Stop! I didn't let you go, how dare you go? What you just said was a big anti-Japanese remark, a remark made by the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army, and I can shoot you right now. If it weren't for your cousin's sake, I wouldn't spare you. β
Ding Ruxuan said in a panic: "Don't, don't kill me, I'm not the Communist Party or the Eighth Route Army." β
Nakagawa Eiichi patted Ding Ruxuan's shoulder affectionately and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't kill you." Mr. Ding, when it comes to relationships, I am your brother-in-law, you are my brother-in-law, you are called brother-in-law by your Chinese common name, and when you see me in the future, you should call me brother-in-law. β
"Don't dare, don't dare, I can't call you brother-in-law, Nakagawa Taijun."
"You have to call me brother-in-law. Mr. Ding, no, little brother, we are a family, that's a fact. In the future, if you want to help me do things, I can make you the county magistrate, I can also make you the commander of the Imperial Army, and I can also make the Ding family very rich. What do you think? β
Ding Ruxuan refused: "No, this can't work, I don't dare, I can't do it." β
Eiichi Nakagawa said threateningly: "Hmph! Are you going to reject me? If you dare not cooperate, you are anti-Japanese and pro-communist, and this is going to kill your head! You'll answer me when you're ready. β
Ding Ruxuan was embarrassed and said, "This? You make me think about it, and I'll reply to you when I'm ready. β
"Okay, you'll tell me when you're ready. Little brother, don't be afraid, with me to protect you and the whole family of the Ding family, the Communist Eighth Route Army will never dare to come. β
In the courtyard of the Liu family's blacksmith shop in Shengcang Village. The crowd panicked when they heard the gunshots.
Fang Lusheng pulled out the shell gun: "It's not good, there is a situation, the little devil is sneaking up." β
Fang Jiren said calmly: "Don't panic, everyone, this is the gun that our sentry fired." It could be that the sentry caught the suspicious person and would have been here in a moment. β
Morikura Village. Inside the farmhouse. More than a dozen soldiers of the Eighth Route Army surrounded Yangshushan.
Yang Shushan said in a low voice: "Comrades and comrades-in-arms, I have never seen this Commander Wang, his identity is very suspicious, there are Kuomintang soldiers and bandits in this special column, and the composition is complex and even more suspicious, we must be vigilant and take strict precautions." β
Soldier A: "Platoon commander, didn't that Commander Wang say that he was our replenishment regiment?" also said that it was a special task sent by the head of the regiment. β
Yang Shushan: "! Do you really believe what he says? Did he take out the letter of appointment from the regimental headquarters? A verbal order from the head of the regiment? He's a liar. In the more than half a year that I have been in the supplementary group, there is no one I don't know, who of you has seen him? β
Warrior B: "Yes, I haven't seen it. Platoon commander, didn't that Commander Wang say that the special column is an anti-Japanese team that fights devils and eliminates traitors. β
Poplar Mountain: "Alas! You guys are so naΓ―ve. Didn't I just say that? This special column is a complex composition, with Kuomintang soldiers and bandits, can this be an anti-Japanese team? I suspect that they are armed bandits under the banner of anti-Japanese resistance. β
Soldier C: "Well, what the platoon commander said makes sense, so what should we do in the future?" β
Yang Shushan: "Didn't that bullshit Commander just now already promise us to join the special column?" Okay, let's follow them for the time being, monitor them, and when we all have weapons, find a suitable opportunity to arrest Commander Wang, seize command, and then bring the entire special column back to the supplementary regiment to dispose of. Do you think that's okay? β
The fighters agreed.
Morikura Village. In the courtyard of the Liu family's blacksmith shop. Under the grape trellis.
Two members of the team escorted a young man in ragged clothes into the courtyard.
Francis: "What's going on? Where did this person come from? What for? β
Sentinel A: "This man is sneaky and wants to touch the village, let us catch him." β
Sentry B: "This guy doesn't look like a good thing, he must be a traitor." β
The young man was very weak, and he argued weakly: "I, I'm not a traitor, I'm from Feiyun Village, I've come to look for our Dragon Master, Long Ye, I've been looking for a few days." β
Fang Lusheng was taken aback when he heard this, and after walking in front of the young man and seeing the person who came, he asked in surprise:
"Dog, why are you? Didn't I let you go back to Feiyunzhai? How did you get here? What happened to the others? β
Seeing Fang Lusheng's mixed joy and sorrow, the dog cried out loud, sobbed and said:
"Master Long, I, I've found you, Feiyunzhai, Fei......" Before he finished speaking, he fainted and fell unconscious.
Fang Lusheng squatted down and held the dog in his arms, and asked anxiously:
"Dog, what's wrong with you? Dog, wake up......"
Fang Jiren squatted down and grabbed the vein of the dog's right wrist with his right hand, and after a while said:
"He's hungry, tired, and fine. Lu Yun, you immediately check on him to see if he has any injuries on his body, and then cook some rice soup for him to drink. β
Lu Yun stepped forward and said, "Yes." Come, help carry him to my house. β
Everyone lifted the dog together and walked into Lu Yun's West House. Franciscan stood alone under the grape trellis. A warrior limped into the courtyard and whispered as he went:
"Company Commander Fang, Commander Wang."
Francis turned around and walked over to the warrior. "Huh? Why are you back? Didn't I already agree that you would stay and join the special column? β
The soldier took Francis's sleeve and walked to the gate of the courtyard, and whispered:
"Company Commander Fang, I can find you, my name is Li Mantun, and I belong to the fifth company of the second battalion."
Fang Jiren looked carefully at the simple and honest Li Mantun: "Oh, I've seen you, you used to come to our Sixth Company often, right?" β
"yes. There are a few fellow villagers of mine in the Sixth Company, and they admire you and tell me a lot about the courage of many company commanders in battle. I want to follow you to fight devils in the future, okay? I don't want to follow Platoon Commander Yang, he's not authentic, he wants to calculate you. β
"Oh? Is it? Platoon Commander Yang won't do this, maybe you misunderstood him. β
"No, I definitely didn't misunderstand him, I heard him well. Company Commander Fang, why don't you believe me? Platoon Commander Yang He wants to lead the four teams to get rid of you, and then ......"
"Shhh Brother Mantun, I know that you are doing this for my good and for the good of the special column, but you should not tell anyone about this matter again, otherwise it will affect unity. Mantun, you go back first, I want to think about how to deal with this matter. β
"Well, I don't tell anyone. However, what should Platoon Commander Yang do if he really wants to get rid of you? Company Commander Fang, I'm not leaving, I want to protect you. β
"You protect me? Thank you, good brother. Mantun, then you should go back, and tell me at any time if there is any situation in the future, do you understand? β
"This? Oh, I see. Company Commander Fang, no, Commander Wang, I listen to you. β
"Mantun, isn't the injury on your leg completely healed?"
"It's all good, but it's still a little painful. Commander Wang, don't worry, my leg injury will not affect the movement of the troops. β
"That's good. Mantun, hurry back and rest early. β
"Yes, Commander Wang, I'm leaving." Li Mantun stood up and saluted, turned and left.
Fang Jiren returned to the grape trellis and sat down, his brows furrowed and his face full of sorrow and worry, and then he stretched his eyebrows, smiled easily, and said to himself:
"Humph! Want to get rid of me? Okay, come on. β
