It's just that the more polite Li Ziyuan said, the more nervous the beautiful young 'woman' became. After nodding his head to indicate that he knew, he didn't dare to collect the money, for fear that the old man in front of him, who was covered in water and carried a gun in his hand, would see that he would behave badly towards him. With the 'female' relatives in the house, he walked out in a few steps.

It's not that this 'female' person is scared like this, but Li Ziyuan is really scary at the moment. If you don't wear a military uniform, you can't prove who you really are. At the same time, he carried a pistol in one hand and a dagger in the other. His eyes were as red as rabbits because of the severe lack of sleep, but his face was murderous.

Although he was drenched like a rat by the heavy rain, he had been in the house for a long time, and the water was still dripping down his body, which destroyed the murderous aura on his body, but after all, it was still very scary. Don't talk about a 'female' person, well, it's still a very beautiful 'female' person. is a big man, and it is difficult not to be afraid in the face of Li Ziyuan. After dealing with Li Ziyuan with a strong 'spirit' spirit, this 'female' person immediately fled.

However, after she left, Li Ziyuan gestured to a soldier beside her. The soldier immediately understood what Li Ziyuan meant when he received his signal, and immediately followed to monitor him. Just a day ago, he suffered a big loss, and now Li Ziyuan doesn't dare to be careless, and there should still be surveillance.

Although it was just a 'woman', Li Ziyuan never dared to underestimate it. At that time, the well-known 'women'' and 'women' independent divisions of the Red Fourth Front Army performed no worse than men on the battlefield, and the losses in the Hexi Corridor were not a fault of the war. In addition to the experience of a strong mother in the previous life, he also knew that the 'woman' had weaknesses, but she was no worse than any man.

After all the 'female' dependents in the house left, Li Ziyuan saluted an old man in the room and said, "Old man, we are really not bandits or puppet army, we are really the Eighth Route Army in Taihang Mountain. Some time ago, the sound of gunfire in the direction of Basongling was that we were fighting with the devils.

"As long as you and your family don't report to the devil, we promise that we won't hurt you a single hair. Please rest assured that we will leave as soon as we buy food and will never stay too long. We may need more food, but we'll pay for it. ”

After that, Li Ziyuan looked at the stack of counterfeit coins in his hand, and did not count the total amount of money, and directly placed them on a table of eight immortals beside the old man. Li Ziyuan's meaning is clear, the money is used as compensation for the purchase of grain. This is enemy-occupied territory, and counterfeit coins are more appropriate.

Compared with Li Ziyuan, who suddenly appeared in the house, there were two young people who were frightened and panicked. This old man, on the contrary, is quite calm. And from the perspective of momentum, this old man should be the head of this family. So Li Ziyuan didn't look at the two young juniors, and only talked to this old man.

It's just that after the old man looked at the stack of money that Li Ziyuan put beside him, he shook his head and said: "Although I am old, my eyes have not yet been completely 'flowered', and I know that you are the Eighth Route Army." So, I can't take this money. You will have more places to use money in the future, and although our family is not rich, we can still afford to bear some of the burdens. ”

"The gunfire in the direction of Basongling two days ago, although we were far away, we didn't hear it. But this is the movement of the Japanese puppet army around here in the past few days, and we can still see it. The Japanese puppet army mobilized so many troops in that direction, and tightly blocked all the routes in and out of the mountains around Basongling, so it shouldn't be to see the scenery. ”

"On the boundary of Hubei, the Japanese puppet army can be so excited, except for the Eighth Route Army active in the eastern mountains. I can't think of any other area that could be so capable. **, whether it is the Jin Sui Army in the west, or the Central Army in the south, or the miscellaneous army in the east, it is too far away. ”

The old man's voice fell, and Li Ziyuan was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that this old man would be so sensible, let alone that there would be an old man with such a broad vision in this small village. Judging from his words and demeanor, Li Ziyuan knew that this old man must have seen the world, and he had not seen the ordinary world.

It's just that Li Ziyuan thinks that the old man refuses to refuse, but the money still has to be given. After all, this family looks like a well-off family at most. In this era of war and chaos, food is more expensive than anything else. For a meal of more than 100 people, some dry food has to be made to carry, which is not a small amount of food.

Seeing that Li Ziyuan didn't put the money away, the old man smiled and said, "If you want to put it away, you don't have any scruples." Although I am living in Japanese territory, I still have this patriotism, and I have not forgotten that I am still a Chinese. ”

"You were born to the death to fight devils, and it is a bit of an exaggeration for us to destroy our families and relieve difficulties to support the war of resistance, but what is it to eat this little food? Not to mention that we are not poor, but what is there if we are poor? It's better to feed your own army than to let the devils snatch them and feed them to the two-legged beasts. ”

After that, the old man turned his head to the two young men beside him and said, "You go, tell the eldest daughter-in-law to kill the 'chickens' in the family, and stew them for this brother to take away." There are wounded among them, and eating some 'chicken' soup can also make up for it. Also, take out all the white flour from the house, and bake it into cakes for them to bring. ”

Hearing the old man say this, Li Ziyuan waved his hand again and again: "Old man, this is absolutely unacceptable." Some coarse tea and light rice will do, and white noodles and 'chicken' soup will not be used. I would like to dare to ask the name of the old man, and if there is a chance in the future, we will definitely repay you for your help today. Also, old man, I want to inquire, is there a Japanese puppet army stationed around here? ”

Regarding Li Ziyuan's refusal, the old man smiled and said: "My name doesn't matter, you know that I'm just an ordinary and somewhat patriotic old man, as for those 'chickens' and white noodles, you still have to accept them." Although the old man can't go to the battlefield, he still admires you anti-log fighters, not to mention that this is just a small favor. ”

"We don't have a Japanese puppet army stationed here, but there is a puppet army stronghold in Mazhuang, twenty miles to the south, and in the southwest of Wangdian Town, there is also a police station and a self-defense regiment without a few guns. Rest assured, they won't come out of the weather today. ”

"But don't take it lightly. We are a key area for plainclothes teams, and they come down to check if they are fine. Two days ago, there was a man who was supposed to be from the eastern mountains, but when he was walking in the village, he was discovered by a plainclothes team who suddenly arrived, saying that his certificate of good citizenship was fake. ”

He was also recognized by a plainclothes team member and said that he was the Eighth Route Army from the mountains to the east. After the person was taken away by the plainclothes team, he never returned. Even the family who took him in was arrested and taken into the county seat, and he was never heard from again. So you should be careful, it's too close to the road after all. ”

After the old man finished speaking, Li Ziyuan was stunned for a moment. Thinking of Shi Jin's accident, he immediately described Shi Jin's appearance to the old man. After listening to Li Ziyuan's description, the old man nodded again and again: "It is this person." He stayed in the village for the night, and when he was about to leave, he was stopped by a plainclothes team that had arrived suddenly in the morning. ”

"I was about to go out, but I didn't want to see it. A plainclothes member was supposed to be from the same village as him, and he was immediately recognized. I don't know how this anti-log fighter is doing now? That man was really hard-boned, and the plainclothes team tied him to a tree, and his body was all broken, and not a word was 'exposed'. ”

When the old man's words fell, Li Ziyuan shook his head and said, "Old man, he is a scout officer of our army. His name is Shi Jin, and he is a native of this pot of Beixian County. Little did I know that it was in this village that he was arrested. The day before yesterday, the devil tried to lure us out of the mountain so that he could destroy us in one fell swoop. He and several other captured comrades were tied to a tree and fed alive to the wolf dogs. ”

Before he died, he also warned us not to be fooled, and not to rush out of the mountain to fight a decisive battle with the devil in order to save him. At that time, I, the captain, could only watch him, being tortured to death by the devil, but there was no way to save him. ”

After Li Ziyuan finished speaking, after the old man sighed, he shook his head and sighed: "Sacrifice your life for righteousness, what an iron-clad hero, what an iron-clad warrior." In him, I see hope. I believe that as long as such people still exist, China will not die at the hands of the Japanese invaders. ”

For such an anti-log soldier, the old man admires it tightly. Please rest assured, whatever you need, as long as I have it here, I will never hide or hide it. Now that the rain is raining heavily, do you want to bring all the troops over and go into the village to have a good rest, avoid this heavy rain and then set off. ”

"You can rest assured, in this village, the old man still speaks a little thinly. I'm sure that no one here will take the initiative to tell the Japanese. Your man's arrest is not the result of the villagers here informing. You are resting here, and you are safe. ”

Regarding the old man's invitation, Li Ziyuan shook his head and said, "Old man, we went out of the mountain this time to fight the most painful place for the devils." The Japanese puppet army is now like mad dogs, searching for us everywhere in Hubei and Ludong. This pot is in the north of the territory, and their eyeliner is everywhere right now. They also used cavalry and automobiles to form a large number of fast troops.

"We came here to rest, ate and drank, and it will cause trouble for the villagers afterwards. And once the devils find us here, we don't care, but what about the folks? There was once a village where the people of the village were slaughtered by the devil in retaliation for covering us, and none of the hundreds of people in the village survived. I don't want this to happen to the folks here once. ”

"When the dry food is finished, we will leave immediately, and it will definitely not bring any danger to the elderly and villagers. Although this money is not much, we still hope that you will accept it. Besides, we are strictly disciplined, and we do not take a stitch from the masses, which is our discipline requirement. ”

"And for me personally, it is more important than anything else to be able to get information about the arrest of our comrade-in-arms. Old man, on behalf of Shi Jin's comrades-in-arms, I would like to thank you and your family once again for providing us with what we need most and for providing us with so much help. ”
