The old village chief's behavior did not attract Liao Fan's sympathy, Xiao Liang and Xiao Qi had already said very clearly just now, the people had no food to eat at home, and the old village chief was still hiding it, which made Liao Fan's unpretentious good impression of the old village chief when he first entered the village all disappeared, and there was only cold-eyed sympathy. Ｅㄟ．％

The old village chief kneeling on the ground looked dull, the warm spring breeze did not make him feel any warmth, but at this time he seemed to have fallen into an ice cave for three or nine days, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble. The owner of the house had already taken the child and his mother to hide in the back room, and did not dare to come out.

A soldier moved a stool and put it behind Liao Fan, Liao Fan did not sit down, he was waiting for the old village chief to come to his senses, Liao Fan wanted to know the truth of the matter, he could not watch the people starving, fortunately, this most difficult winter has passed, if the people ran out of food in the winter, now many places in Taihang Mountain must be full of hunger, and the entire independent 33rd Division will no longer have a foothold.

"Xiao Liang and Xiao Qi, you two work harder, go and transfer the reconnaissance battalion of the battalion commander to the captain, and tell the captain that we may not go back tonight." Lu Liming glanced at the old village chief and Liao Fan in front of him, knowing that today's matter was difficult to end, for the sake of Liao Fan's safety, he had to order the reconnaissance battalion to come to Hongxing Village to temporarily protect Liao Fan's safety.

Liao Fan didn't say anything when he heard Lu Liming's arrangement, but just nodded and agreed that Xiao Liang and Xiao Qi could leave. Liao Fan and Lu Liming both thought that this matter must not be simple, in case this matter is involved with the little devil, no one can guarantee that there are other people in the village who have anything to do with this matter, in case they report to the little devil, Liao Fan's safety in Hongxing Village cannot be guaranteed.

"How did I forget him, Lao Lu went and invited the two people in the house out, remember that the attitude must be kind." Liao Fan knew that the child from the hometown was still in the house, but there were many people outside, and he was embarrassed to come out, he didn't want his subordinates to treat his family rudely in front of the child.

The two owners of the house trembled and were invited out of the room by the two soldiers, and the fellow looked at the old village chief kneeling on the ground, and the two fellows knelt in front of Liao Fan with weak legs.

"Lift the two of them up and let them sit and talk." Liao Fan glanced at the window of the house, and there was a small head lying on the window looking out, the child's age was a few years younger than Liu Chunjian.

The old couple was helped up by the two warriors and sat on the stool, bowing their heads and not daring to look at Liao Fan, their enthusiasm for Liao Fan just now all turned into fear, how much they hoped at this time, Liao Fan did not come to Hongxing Village, nor did he come to their house. The old village chief was still kneeling on the ground, and his soul seemed to be drained away.

Liao Fan didn't want to delay any longer, since the old village chief was reluctant to speak, he had to ask the owner of the house: "Fellow, where has your eldest son gone?" ”

The old woman raised her head and glanced at Liao Fan, then at her husband, and quickly lowered her head again.

"There is no impermeable wall in the world, someone in the village must know where he went, right?" Liao Fan was suspicious of the whereabouts of the eldest son of the fellow from the beginning, maybe he was really in Yan Laoxi's Jin Suijun at the beginning, but where he went later, maybe the fellow said it best.

At this time, the door of the house opened, and the fifteen or sixteen-year-old child ran out of the room, hiding behind his parents, revealing a strange head and looking at Liao Fan, and the two fellows hurriedly protected their children.

"Fanzi, no, Chief Liao, no, Fanzi ......" The fellow didn't know how to call Liao Fan at this time, so he could only change his title one by one.

"Uncle, you still call me Fanzi." Liao Fan was so embarrassed by the title of his fellow countryman that he had to speak.

"Fanzi, please don't hurt the child, what do we say when you ask, we dare not hide anything." The fellow looked at Liao Fan with an anxious face, and one hand was still protecting his child behind his back.

"Uncle, we are not little devils, we will not do the kind of dehumanizing things of little devils, even if you don't say anything, I will not let the soldiers hurt the children." Liao Fan said softly that he didn't want to ruin the child because of this incident, after all, not every teenager is like Liu Chunjian and began to bear a lot of things that should not be bearable.

The fellow looked at Liao Fan, he was originally a farmer who was not very good at expressing himself, coupled with his awe of Liao Fan, he didn't know where to start with this matter, he hesitated for a few minutes, and still didn't know what to say.

Liao Fan saw that the fellow didn't speak for so long, so he had to ask, "Where is your eldest son now?" After all these years, they really haven't sent you a letter back? ”

"Hey~" The fellow let out a long sigh, then lit the dry cigarette hanging on his waist, and took two puffs: "My eldest son joined the army a few years ago, but you also know that Yan Laoxi's troops almost ran to Gansu after fighting with the little devil in Taiyuan, but many troops ......"

It took more than half an hour for the fellow to explain his son's whereabouts to Liao Fan, Yan Xishan's Jingsui army was not as useless as imagined, but the defeated army was like a mountain, after Yan Xishan's headquarters was withdrawn from Taiyuan, many troops could not find their own headquarters, among which the countryman's son Wang Dazhui also lost contact with his superiors, and on the way to retreat from Shanxi to Gansu, he a platoon commander actually gathered more than 100 remnants on the way and retreated to the rear with him.

But the advance of the little devils was far faster than the retreat of their remnants of the defeated generals, and they were surrounded by the little devils before they reached Shaanxi, and more than 100 people were not released into the prisoners of the little devils, and then they were escorted to Taiyuan and locked up in a prisoner camp in Taiyuan.

But it was such a coincidence, Wang Tiedan, the son of the old village chief, was also on an errand in the troops of the Jingsui Army, and he was not as good as Wang Da Hammer, and when the little devil attacked Taiyuan, he didn't wait for the exchange of fire with the little devil, and took a squad of soldiers to surrender the little devil first. Unexpectedly, after surrendering to the little devil, Wang Tiedan began to move on the road to prosperity, from a squad leader to the battalion commander of the puppet army, leading the troops to show off his might everywhere. At this time, Wang Dazhui followed the captives and was sent to Yangquan to repair the railway and artillery tower.

And Wang Tiedan was also transferred to Yangquan to supervise the work of the captives, and as a result, the two fellows met.

"Roar! You're also from Hongxing Village? Me too! "Fellow! My father is Wang Laoshuo, who is your father! "My father is Wang Dazhu."

As a result, as soon as I signed up, the two of them turned out to be brothers of the family, since they are brothers, don't do this work, follow me to join the little devil as a puppet army, where are you not an errand to eat, aren't you a platoon commander in the Jingsui Army, come to me and I'll give you a deputy company commander to do, don't worry about anything, just watch this group of captives work every day, if Taijun comes, just say good things.

At first, Wang Dazhui did not agree to be a traitor, after all, to be a traitor is to be pointed at the backbone of the ancestors of the eighteenth generation, there are still fathers and mothers at home, if the villagers know that they are traitors, they will not let their fathers and mothers be scolded to death, so adhering to the principle of resolutely not being traitors, Wang Dazhui insisted on the construction site for five days.

"Since this boy doesn't know each other, you will supervise him, and if you dare to be lazy, you will whip me hard until he is willing to come to me." When he finished chatting with Wang Dazhui about the Li family, the proprietor of Hongxing Village, Wang Tiedan instructed his subordinates.

Where is the work that the little devil arranges for the captives to do, there is another side after this side is done, and he doesn't give you enough food every day, anyway, he does it day and night, even Wang Da Hammer, who has been a soldier for several years, can't bear such a toss, and the people arranged by Wang Tie Dan deliberately made it bad behind his back, Wang Da Hammer finally couldn't help but find Wang Tie Dan.

"Big cousin Tiedan, I'm willing to follow you, but there are still a few of my brothers on the construction site, it's not impossible for me to join you, I have to bring my brothers." Wang Dazhui finally made up his mind and took refuge in Wang Tiedan's cousin and became a puppet army.

Of course, Wang Tiedan was happy that there were more and more soldiers under his command, so in the case of a few meals of wine and meat going through the back door, one of his senior squad leaders nodded and agreed, Wang Da Hammer changed from a prisoner to a puppet army, since he was not a prisoner, of course he didn't have to work.

At the beginning, Wang Dazhui was definitely not suitable for wearing this clothes as a messenger, but he was fed up with the hardships on the construction site, and his eldest cousin was provided with good wine and meat for him to eat every day.

At the beginning of the period, the year of being a traitor was still good, no need to go to the battlefield, anyway, Shanxi had nothing else to do except for sometimes encircling and suppressing some dirt roads, and occasionally blackmailed some ordinary people and big households to collect money for themselves, Wang Dazhui was also used to such days, and it was much better to get rich than Jin Suijun.

The good times didn't last long, Liao Fan came to Taihang Mountain, and their superiors didn't know where to get the news, both of them turned out to be from Taihang Mountain, since they swore allegiance to the imperial army, the imperial army will give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, Wang Tiezhu and Wang Dazhui were transferred to Pingding County to assist the imperial army in attacking Taihang Mountain.

Wang Tiezhu was fortunate that his troops were not transferred to fight Liao Fan's troops, but were responsible for transporting supplies. When the little devil failed to retreat, Wang Tiezhu realized that the troops that appeared inexplicably in Taihang Mountain were not as easy to bully as Tubalu.

With the first luck was not able to go to the battlefield, but without the second luck, the strongholds and turrets around Taihang Mountain had a puppet army stationed in the order to immediately reach his troops, since he swore to serve the Japanese Imperial Army to the death, then go, Wang Tiedan did not dare not go, he was not willing to serve the Jin Sui Army, let alone a big Japanese Empire, but the machine gun was behind the buttocks, so he could only go hard.

"I didn't expect to go out and go home again after so many years, so close to home, let's write a letter to the family, so that they can at least know that we are still safe." Wang Dazhui said to his eldest cousin.

Since it is so close to home, of course, I can't help but write a letter to my family, you can write a letter and I will write it, and then the letter was sent to Hongxing Village.
