Chapter 31: The Uninvited Guest
"What? There are officers of the national army who come to worship the mountain? Hearing this, Zhang Xiuniang's face changed slightly.
The word "worship" originated in the southern region and means to visit the graves of ancestors to commemorate the ancestors and pray for good weather for the family. But for people in the rivers and lakes, worshipping the mountain is another layer of meaning, when a group of people come to another wave of people to bow down and say the word worship, there are only two meanings, either to make friends or to find fault, Zhang Xiuniang asked herself if she has this friendship with the national army, after all, one is a soldier and the other is a thief, what does the other party mean is obvious.
"What the hell are we going to do?"
When this year first appeared in her mind, her eyes also looked at the figure in front of her who was sweating in the clearing......
Half an hour later, in front of the largest courtyard in Erlong Mountain, Su Jin and Zhang Xiuniang were standing side by side in front of the door to greet several sudden uninvited guests.
Su Jin's eyes were good, and when the other party walked more than fifty meters away from them, he had already seen the other party's appearance clearly. There were six people on the other side, all wearing blue uniforms, the four people in the back were all carrying spears and obviously guards, and the two people walking in front wore the rank of major, and the other wore the rank of lieutenant colonel, and the two of them walked over with standard military steps.
When the other party approached, Zhang Xiuniang and Su Jin invariably greeted them side by side, and the other party also quickened their pace and walked towards the two, and after seeing Zhang Xiuniang standing next to Su Jin, the two were obviously stunned for a moment, obviously surprised that there was such an outstanding beauty in this ravine. But soon, the lieutenant colonel who was the leader smiled heartily at Su Jin, and arched his hand: "I have heard for a long time that Zhang Da is a hero in Erlong Mountain, and when I saw it today, he was really a young hero!" Cheng Shan, lieutenant colonel and deputy commander of the 276th Regiment of the 6th Guerrilla Column of the Brother National Revolutionary Army in Shandong, and Shen Hong, commander of the 3rd Battalion of the subordinate battalion, came to visit! ”
As soon as the lieutenant colonel said this, the smile on Su Jin's original face suddenly froze, and the several guards of Erlong Mountain standing around him were also stunned, and they all looked at Zhang Xiuniang on the side.
Erlongshan's hesitation was immediately noticed by the other party, and the lieutenant colonel was also stunned, only then did he realize that he seemed to have said something wrong.
Su Jin secretly looked at Zhang Xiuniang beside him, and saw that her face was as usual as usual, as if there was no sign of anger, so he smiled bitterly: "The two chiefs have misunderstood, what about me...... surnamed Su, just the second master, the one next to me is the big boss of Erlongshan. ”
"Uh......"
As soon as Su Jin said this, Cheng Shan and Shen Hongji's original smiling faces suddenly froze, and the two glanced at each other and couldn't help but blush, and they didn't even know whether the big boss of the family was a man or a woman, so they rashly ran to worship Cheng Shan, which was embarrassing and embarrassing. Cheng Shan coughed lightly and then said with some embarrassment, "This ...... I'm really sorry, this time it's someone who is reckless, and I really don't see the meaning of the big boss. ”
Recognizing the wrong person is not a big deal in daily life, but it is a very embarrassing thing to recognize the wrong person on this occasion, and it is easy to make the owner dissatisfied, after all, you are here to worship the mountain, and even the master can admit that you are sincere. If the owner is in a bad mood, it is possible to drive people directly.
However, it is obvious that Zhang Xiuniang is not the kind of person with a small belly, she is not entangled in this matter, but said lightly: "Those who don't know are not to blame, it has not been half a year for the little woman to take over from her father to pick up this burden, and it is not strange for this chief to recognize the wrong person, please two inside." After speaking, Zhang Xiuniang made a gesture of please.
Cheng Shan and Shen Hongjian glanced at each other, and at the same time made a gesture of invitation, motioning for everyone to go in together.
When everyone entered the house and sat down, Xiaoyu, who was a maid, hurriedly brought out tea and served it to a few people.
Cheng Shan took the tea and drank it all, then said with a smile: "I'm really thirsty after walking for a long time, this tea is really thirsty!" ”
Zhang Xiuniang smiled slightly: "Captain Cheng is polite, it's just ordinary mountain spring water and tea, it's not worth mentioning, please forgive the little woman for being blunt, I don't know why the two chiefs came together?" ”
"The big boss is worthy of being a heroine among women, and he is refreshing when he speaks." Cheng Shan said with a smile: "Cheng came to thank you for your help, I am ashamed, two days ago, the battalion commander Shen suddenly encountered the Japanese army when he was carrying out an escort mission, and he was about to be caught up by the Japanese army, fortunately you reached out in time to help, which made the battalion commander Shen and they were able to get out, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, today Cheng Mou came to thank the battalion commander Shen!" After speaking, Cheng Shan stood up, arched his hand again towards Zhang Xiuniang, and bowed.
"Oh...... This guy is the guy who ran away without saying a word after being rescued that day! Su Jin finally understood who was coming, and his eyes couldn't help but squint at Shen Hongji, who was standing aside.
"Captain Cheng is polite, you don't dare to be a little girl!" Seeing this, Zhang Xiuniang quickly stood up and stood sideways, saying that she didn't dare to accept this salute, and then explained: "Commander Cheng misunderstood, it was not a little woman who saved Camp Commander Shen last time, and someone else saved you, he is the second leader Su Jin next to me." ”
At this time, Su Jin also stood up and said to the two: "The two chiefs are polite, Su was just at the right time that day, it is really not worth mentioning." Everyone is a descendant of Yan and Huang, and it is appropriate to help each other when they encounter difficulties, and it is really not worth the two of them to go on a trip in person. ”
Cheng Shan and Shen Hong gradually glanced at each other, and their eyes invariably showed such a look, and Shen Hong gradually took over and said: "Su Dangjia is too modest, if even the grace of saving his life is not worth mentioning, Shen really can't think of anything else to be thankful for." Originally, Shen should have come over to thank him for saving his life, but he has been busy with official business and has been unable to withdraw, so he is really ashamed to take the time to come over to thank him until today! ”
Shen Hongjian said this very sincerely, Su Jin did not show any inner thoughts on his face, and he was also full of smiles: "Camp Chief Shen is polite, since you are here today, you are our guests in Erlong Mountain, if you don't dislike it, then have a light meal in Erlong Mountain, but please don't dislike the coarse tea and light rice here with us." However, these things were captured by our Erlongshan from the Japanese, and it has a different taste. ”
"Haha...... I have long heard that the heroes of Erlongshan laid down Shigu County a few days ago, which greatly boosted the morale of our anti-Japanese army and people, if we don't eat this meal, wouldn't we be too sorry for the Japanese! ”
Soon, Xiaoyu came in and said that the banquet had been prepared and invited a few people to sit down. During the banquet, the deputy head surnamed Cheng had a strong conversation, and his evaluation of Erlongshan was also very high, if it was an ordinary person, it was estimated that he would be confused. But what kind of person is Su Jin, when it comes to Kan Dashan, this is his old job, how can he be afraid of an amateur player who can brag freely in front of thousands of viewers in front of the TV? So he came and went, and the deputy head of Cheng was almost taken to the ditch by him.
By the end of the banquet, the deputy head surnamed Cheng was already too drunk to look good, so naturally he couldn't go back, and finally Su Jin let people vacate a courtyard for a few people to rest in peace.
