Chapter Seventy-Two: Whereabouts Exposed, Breaking into the Wolf's Lair Alone
Shuihe Village. Village office. The conference room of the Eighth Route Army supplementary regimental headquarters.
Tian Yuanxiu stood up and bowed to Yu Genshan and the others to thank and say goodbye, picked up her daughter Niuniu and followed Staff Officer Wu out of the regiment headquarters and walked towards the health team.
Yu Genshan: "I think this child's facial features really look like Fang Jiren, a bastard boy." β
Han Dagang: "It's very similar, especially like when Francis was a child. Nine times out of ten, I think this child is Francis's own daughter. β
Huang Zhongde said suspiciously: "Not necessarily, I don't think so." Now that the situation is chaotic and Francis's identity and experience are complicated, it is difficult to say what is going on. β
Chief of Staff: Huh? Director Huang, what do you mean by that? Tian Yuanxiu is not Francis Francis's wife? The child is not Francis's either? That portrait was painted by herself, it was too similar, like a photo, wasn't it her own man who could draw it so similarly? Isn't it possible for a husband and wife to know that there are still two moles under Francis's navel? I'm too embarrassed to say anything further. I think what Tian Yuanxiu said is true. β
Huang Zhongde: "Hmph! One-sided, far-fetched. β
Commissar: "Maybe that's what the chief of staff said. However, when Francis deceived the organization, the problem is serious, indicating that there is something wrong with his character. Such people are very dangerous during a brutal and complex war. β
Staff Officer Wu carried a wicker suitcase and led Tian Yuanxiu's mother and daughter to the treatment room of the medical team of the Eighth Route Army Supplementary Regiment. He briefed Dr. Jiang and Glenland on their situation, and instructed them to arrange room and board for the mother and daughter. Dr. Jiang promised to carefully examine and arrange the lives of their mother and daughter. Staff Officer Wu left the health team.
Dr. Jiang, with the cooperation and assistance of the head nurse, Glenlandy, examined Tian Yuanxiu and Niuniu. Dr. Jiang must have politely told Tian Yuanxiu:
"Comrade Oda, you are not sick, but you are mentally nervous, physically tired, and a little malnourished. The child has a little heat stroke, and some malnutrition, nothing serious, as long as you take traditional Chinese medicine, increase nutrition, and rest for a few days, it will be fine, don't worry, you will live here for a few days. Head nurse, you take them to the small ward at the east end of the backyard to rest, and I'll pick up the medicine. β
After lunch, Niuniu fell asleep sweetly on the bed in the small ward. Tian Yuanxiu and Gu Lanlan sat on the other bed and chatted. Tian Yuanxiu briefed GΓΌlen about everything that had happened between her and Francis. Glenlan briefed Tian Yuanxiu on all the things that Fang Jiren was doing in the supplementary regiment. After listening to each other's introduction, the two people have different mentalities and feelings. Glenlan's heart felt even more indescribably uncomfortable and sour. She had no intention of chatting any longer, and after comforting Tian Yuanxiu for a few words, she got up and left.
Looking at the sleeping Niuniu, Tian Yuanxiu thought about it and then picked up her bag and walked out of the small ward and left the health team. According to Gu Lanlan's account, she found the headquarters of the 6th Company of the 2nd Battalion, took out the portrait of Fang Jiren, and introduced herself to Ma Fucai and other company cadres. Ma Fucai received Tian Yuanxiu in surprise and confusion but warmly, and told her about Fang Jiren's deeds in previous battles. Tian Yuanxiu told Ma Fucai and others about the underground work he had done with Fang Jiren in Beiping. In the end, Tian Yuanxiu proposed to go to the Sixth Company to visit and comfort Fang Jiren's comrades-in-arms. Ma Fucai accompanied Tian Yuanxiu to several dormitories of the Sixth Company in the village, and met the comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side with Fang Jiren who were learning the tactics of guerrilla warfare. Tian Yuanxiu asked Ma Fucai to take her to the position to visit and comfort the soldiers who were on duty. In the trenches of the Sixth Company in the northeast outside Shuihe Village, Tian Yuanxiu warned the soldiers that they should always maintain a high degree of vigilance, strictly guard against the sneak attack of the Japanese puppet army, and protect the villagers in Shuihe Village.
The county seat of Lin'an County. The west courtyard of the Ding family compound. in the living room. Ding Ruxuan walked around the living room with a sad face, and Ding Wenqian sat on the sofa and sighed.
Ding Ruxuan: "Third uncle, how can you say that things in this world are so coincidental?" Nakagawa has become my cousin-in-law, your nephew and son-in-law. It's a blessing and a curse. β
Ding Wenqian: "I don't think it's all bad, maybe it can help us a little." β
"I hope so. But let's wear this traitor's hat in the future. β
"Alas, who said no, what can we do if we don't want to bring it."
Changgui hurriedly walked into the living room, handed Ding Ruxuan a small paper roll, and left the living room. Ding Ruxuan shook his head and sighed after opening the paper scroll and reading it, and then burned the note.
"Ru Xuan, what did the letter say? Does it matter? β
Ding Ruxuan raised his head and sighed: "Alas, where is there something that doesn't matter, there is another thing before it is over, everything is difficult to do, and it must be done." But it's not easy to handle this matter when it involves the Fang family, doesn't this make me sit on wax? β
Ding Wenqian: "Yes, no matter who is involved, you have to try it." β
Gao Dafa walked into the living room and politely said goodbye: "Mr. Ding, Mr. Ding, thank you very much for the hospitality and help of the house, Dafa is very grateful." The affection of the Ding family, I will definitely repay it in the future. I still have something to do, so I won't bother anymore, and we'll have a date later. β
Ding Ruxuan: "Brother Dafa, didn't you come to the county seat to collect the debt?" But I haven't seen you go out to collect the bills these days? Why is this leaving? Don't go to collect the bills? β
Gao Dafa: "I'm not in a hurry to collect the accounts here, I have to go somewhere else to collect the accounts first." β
Ding Ruxuan: "Where are you going?" It's not safe to go out alone. β
Gao Dafa said hesitantly: "I, I may have to go to Tianjin, Beiping......"
Ding Wenqian: "Dafa, it's very dangerous to go to Tianjin and Beiping at this time, there are many checkpoints along the way, can you get by?" Can you go back in a while? β
Gao Dafa looked anxious and said: "No, I must get there as soon as possible, this matter cannot be delayed, otherwise I will not be able to explain to the owner." β
Ding Ruxuan: "Dafa, if not, I'll find two people to accompany you, and I can take care of you along the way." Do you think this will work? Changgui! β
Changgui walked into the living room: "Young Master, what do you command?" β
Gao Dafa hurriedly stopped: "No, no." Mr. Ding, thank you for your kindness, I'll do it alone. More people will attract people's attention and make it more troublesome, and I'm embarrassed to trouble you anymore. β
Ding Ruxuan said solemnly: "Brother Dafa, if you want to go alone, don't say that you will go to Tianjin and Beiping, you will have to be arrested by the detective team if you can't even get out of the county seat, if you don't believe it, you can try." Besides, you, a fur merchant, can't say a few words in the line, and you're going to show your stuffing. What are you going to do then? You can't even save your life. Brother Dafa, we just want to help you, nothing else. If you don't believe it, we can't help it, you can go now. β
Gao Dafa hesitated and thought about it and said, "Mr. Ding, how do you want to help me?" β
Ding Ruxuan: "As long as you want, let's ...... like this"
The county seat of Lin'an County. Ding Wensheng's family. Inside the kitchen. Ding Tieniu went down from the stove to the tunnel to take refuge. Ding Wensheng covered the iron plate, stuffed the firewood into the stove, put the big iron pot, and walked out of the kitchen to open the courtyard door. Before he reached the gate of the courtyard, there was a bang, and the door of the courtyard was slammed open, and seven or eight people from the detective team broke in with a barge gun in their hands, and surrounded Ding Wensheng.
Qian Wanlin: "Stinky old man, why don't you open the door for Lao Tzu for so long?" β
Ding Wensheng: "Ouch, it's Captain Qian." I was sleeping in the house, and I didn't hear it. If I knew that your old man was coming, I would have gone to the mouth of the alley to meet you, and sat in the house quickly. β
Qian Wanlin: "Sit a fart!" Stinky old man, hurry up and hand over the spies of the Eighth Route Army! β
Ding Wensheng was surprised and asked, "What, what?" Eighth route army? Also, still a spy? Where? Captain Qian, what are you talking about? Where is the Eighth Route Army here? β
Qian Wanlin: "You are pretending to be stupid with me, I watched him run into this courtyard." Stinky old ding, hurry up and hand over someone, don't toast and don't eat and drink. Hurry up. β
Ding Wensheng said aggrievedly: "Captain Qian, don't wronged me, I really don't have any spies from the Eighth Route Army here, only I am a lonely old man at home, if you don't believe it, let the brothers search inside and out." β
Qian Wanlin: "Wow, that's what you said." Stinky old man, if you find someone, I'll pick your skin. Brethren! Search carefully inside and out! β
The detectives rushed into every room like a wolf, rummaging through boxes and cabinets.
Ding Wensheng: "Captain Qian, you are searching, I will go and boil water to make tea for you." β
