Chapter 68: Persuasion, Railway Scouting

Shen Chen didn't hide anything from his uncle. directly said that he was already a member of the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, but as for how powerful he was and how many enemies he had killed, he naturally would not say.

Sun Hongshan went from stunned to surprised, and never dreamed that such an unbelievable thing would happen to his niece.

But no matter how unbelievable this story is, Sun Hongshan can only believe the story of his niece.

Shen Chen finished speaking, quietly waiting for his uncle to digest it, waiting for him to make a decision.

After a long time, Sun Hongshan blinked his eyes, looked at his niece and smiled bitterly, and said, "If others say it, I will treat it as a story made up." But you, well, you have to believe it if you don't believe it. ”

Shen Chen smiled, stretched out his hand and pulled out a pistol from behind his waist, and said, "I'm still a squad leader, and I have more than a dozen people in charge." So, when I went there, there were people who settled there, crowded in the winter first, and built a house in the spring. ”

Sun Hongshan looked at the pistol, but he didn't reach out to touch it, laughed twice, nodded and said: "I've had this idea for a long time, but I'm worried that the weather is cold, and I won't get to it over there." In that case, let's go. ”

Shen Chen said: "If you want to leave, you have to go as soon as possible, and you have to go without anyone noticing." I didn't want any bits and pieces, and I saved some money, and it was enough to buy them there. ”

"It's worth a lot of money!" Sun Hongshan could see it, and said with a smile: "Your aunt won't be reluctant, but I don't know why I feel distressed?" ”

Shen Chen stood up and said, "Then I'll go back to the house, and when everyone comes back, I'll talk about it again." ”

Sun Hongshan nodded and said, "Xiaohua is watching the children in the house, your aunt is going to deliver the pulp to wash and sew clothes, and Erdan is going to sell tofu." I guess I'm coming back soon, so let's go and rest first! ”

Shen Chen agreed, went to his house, and didn't go to see Xiaohua and Stink.

Sun Hongshan wanted to continue grinding beans, but he didn't have the mind, sat there and thought for a while, got up and put down the iron pot for boiling soy milk, sat on the kettle, and turned around and went out.

When the aunt came back, she found that the head of the house was not there, and the beans had not been finished grinding, so she thought that something had gone out. Then I sat on the pot, boiled sorghum porridge, and cornmeal, prepared to paste a few cakes, and dinner was ready.

There was not much time, and Sun Hongshan came back, carrying live chickens bought from the Zhuangshang family. And when he entered the stove room, he went out with a kitchen knife and a bowl, and slaughtered them in the courtyard.

"The boss, this is-" The aunt doesn't know why, forget it, it's not a year, it's greedy?

Sun Hongshan smiled and said, "Sensei asked so much, scald the chicken and plucked the feathers, quickly stew the chicken, and talk about things when eating." ”

When the aunt saw the joy of being in charge, she didn't dare to hold back, so she went into the house and took out the kettle, and cleaned it up with her hands and feet.

After a while, Erdan also came back, with two pieces of tofu left in his hand.

"That's right, cut some chopped green onions and mix them, it's another dish." Sun Hongshan took the tofu with a smile, although he was not to blame in the past, he was not willing to eat it himself, but it was different from today.

Erdan also felt strange and looked at his aunt. The aunt smiled bitterly and shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

Sun Hongshan assigned it well and did not interfere. In the society of that time, if there were women, men rarely cooked. It's a habit, and it's not a machismo.

With his hands behind his back, Sun Hongshan walked around the courtyard and looked at these dilapidated rooms. This is still passed down from my father's generation, and now that I am leaving, it is impossible to have no ideas.

Close to his niece's cabin, Sun Hongshan listened, there was no movement, and it was estimated that he was asleep. I had the heart to see if the kang was hot, so I hesitated, but I still didn't bother.

The aunt is not stupid, she was cooking, and she also found that the plug board on the stove was open, burning the kang of Damei's house.

Da Mei is back? After the aunt was stunned, her heart settled down. If Da Mei hadn't come back, would the owner be willing to buy chickens?

With the judgment, the aunt also had a smile on her face. Looking at the appearance of the master, you know that Damei is very good. I wonder if I can stay longer this time and have a reunion with the whole family?

The aunt took out a few catties of white* noodles prepared for the New Year, reconciled, and prepared pancakes for her niece to eat.

Shen Chen was indeed sleeping, and he didn't know what was going on, so when he returned home and sat for a while, this sleepiness came up.

In fact, I didn't sleep long, at most an hour. This is stewed chicken and pancakes, which is already later than the original meal.

After the meal was cooked, Sun Hongshan was reluctant to wake up his niece, but he was afraid that the meal would be cold, so after thinking for a while, he still asked his mother-in-law to greet him.

As soon as the door rang, Shen Chen woke up, and his hand habitually touched the gun under him. Seeing that it was the aunt who came in with an oil lamp, she hurriedly sat up, flicked her hand, and covered the pistol.

The aunt was also full of joy when she saw her niece, the oil lamp was shining, and seeing that Shen Chen's face was white and plump, she was even more relieved to know that she had not suffered anything.

"Auntie, you're back." Shen Chen rubbed his eyes.

The aunt said with a smile: "Your uncle still hasn't told me, as soon as I saw that the plug board of the stove was opened, and your uncle bought chicken to stew, I guessed that it would not be far from ten." These days, the family can worry about you, and I have been to Liucun several times, but I haven't heard about it. ”

Shen Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry about me, what else can happen to such an adult?" ”

"You can't say that." The aunt put down the oil lamp and said earnestly: "How chaotic this world is, don't say that you are a big girl, even that man, maybe disaster will fall from the sky!" ”

Shen Chen put on his coat, got up and said, "Got it, auntie, I'll be careful in the future." Let's go eat, don't make people wait. ”

The aunt stood up and turned around, Shen Chen had already pinned the gun to his waist neatly, and his clothes were covered and hidden tightly.

Inside the house, Sun Hongshan and his three children were waiting for Shen Chen. Erdan and Xiaohua didn't know that their sister was back, and the stinky man smelled the smell of meat, grabbed Xiaohua's body and climbed straight up.

As soon as Shen Chen came in, Erdan and Xiaohua rushed over in surprise, opened their mouths and shouted, one called Sister and the other called Sister Damei, and the heartfelt joy made Shen Chen smile too.

Touching Xiaohua's head and patting Erdan's shoulder, Shen Chen smiled: "It looks taller and stronger, not bad, very good." “

"It's not thanks to you." The aunt let Shen Chen onto the kang and said with a smile: "Now I can eat enough, and I don't have to go down to the kiln to be afraid, but I didn't even dare to think about it before." ”

Shen Chen sat down and picked up the chopsticks, but his aunt had already handed over the pancakes and gave him chicken.

"Everybody's eating!" Shen Chen beckoned, stretched out his hand and tore off the two chicken legs, gave them to Xiaohua and Erdan, and gave the meat that his aunt had brought to the bowl to the stinky man, while taking care of the little one, he said with a smile: "I eat a lot outside, my younger brothers and sisters are young, and it is the time to grow my body, so I should eat more good ones." ”

gave the two chicken wings to his uncle and aunt, and Shen Chen served chicken soup, which was chopped green onion mixed with tofu, and ate it sweetly with pancakes.

Sun Hongshan opened his mouth and swallowed it back. In front of the child, he didn't want to talk about leaving. Moreover, he also solemnly advised: "Don't say outside that Da Mei is back, and don't tell anyone." ”

Xiaohua nibbled on the chicken legs, and her little head nodded happily.

Erdan hesitated, but nodded in agreement. Although Ma Pole is dead, who knows if there are other bad guys, if there is another bully sister, my sister will have to leave for a long time, and she can't find it.

The meal was very comfortable, Sun Hongshan was about to fulfill his wish, but his aunt, Erdan and others didn't know, they were just happy for Shen Chen's return.

After eating, Shen Chen sat and chatted with everyone for a while, then looked at his uncle, got up and went back to the house.

There was not much time, so my uncle and aunt came. The aunt also knew that there was something to talk about, but she didn't expect it to be a matter of leaving.

Sun Hongshan sat down and said briefly first, and his aunt was stunned when he heard it.

"Well, let's go?" Of course, the aunt will have concerns, not because she is nostalgic for the place under the jurisdiction of this devil and traitor, but because she has no bottom about the new place, and she is reluctant to let go of these belongings.

Shen Chen took out a few silver dollars from his body, put them in his aunt's hand, and persuaded him: "Leave early and rest assured, this money is only a small part, I still have a lot of money saved by Wangjiawa's uncle and aunt, all for the family." With money, it's not easy to buy belongings? If it drags on, the whole family will be implicated if the news of my guerrilla situation leaks out. ”

For the aunt, persuasion with a little intimidation is the most effective. Because the woman's family is timid, she is not very afraid of being poor, and she is even more afraid of getting into trouble, especially if she has something to do with devils and traitors.

smiled bitterly, and her aunt didn't push it, with these few silver dollars, it made her feel a little bottom. Besides, Da Mei joined the guerrillas, and if she insists on staying, who knows when the devil will come to the door?

"Let's go, let's go!" The aunt knew what it meant to be in charge, and she insisted on leaving before, but Da Mei persuaded her, but now, no one must have persuaded her, and she wouldn't listen to her own persuasion.

Shen Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, reluctance is not always the best, and the aunt also agreed to move, which will be easy to do.

"I've already thought about it, let's leave tomorrow." Shen Chen talked about his plan, "Tomorrow afternoon, my uncle will lead Erdan, pretend to sell tofu, and go out of the village to the old kiln head of Hongshigang." What about the aunt, with a stinky; I'll take Xiaohua with me, let's go out separately, meet at Redstone Hills, and ......"

The plan was very simple, no one was watching Sun Hongshan's family, and they went separately and had a small goal, but they would reach Hongshigang in a few miles, and then they would take that shortcut, or go to a weir, or go to a farther base.

Although the road may be a little harder, as long as you get to Hongshi Gang safely, there is basically no problem.

"Wear more clothes." The aunt sighed and said, "Bring the cover with you, just use the cart that sells tofu, and you shouldn't be able to see it if it's stuffed underneath." ”

Sun Hongshan disagreed, and was about to open his mouth, but when he saw Shen Chen's eyes, he had already agreed happily.

These are all minor issues, and Shen Chen doesn't want to oppose them because of this. There are not many covers, and Sun Hongshan, aunt, and Erdan can carry them on their backs.

"You don't need to bring anything else." Sun Hongshan was afraid that his mother-in-law would think of something bits and pieces again, so he hurriedly decided, "Make more dry food and bring it, it's the right thing." The rest of the things, when we leave, tell the old kiln leader, just leave it to him! ”

The aunt nodded helplessly, the head of the house has been decided, and she will no longer insist on anything.

Shen Chen discussed with his uncle and aunt for a while, determined the time for tomorrow's action, and the specific details, and the uncle and aunt returned to the house.

……………

The night was dark, Shen Chen and his uncle's family fell asleep, but Zhao Tie sneaked close to the railway with people.

"What's the village next to this?" Zhao Tie raised his eyes and asked the team member named Han Gui next to him.

"It should be, it should be Liu Jiawazi." Han Gui discerned the direction and terrain, and said, "There are only more than 20 households, a poor village the size of a palm. ”

"It's a small village, but the location is important." Zhao Tie nodded, and marked this small village on the map, "It's about seven or eight miles away from the railway, it's very convenient." ”

Han Gui scratched his head, "It's almost, it's not more than ten miles." ”

Zhao Tie nodded, diverted the topic, pointed to the small village where the smoke rose in the distance, and asked, "Are there any big families in the village in front?" ”

"But there is a rich man, who has only moved here for two or three years, and everyone gave him the nickname Qian Scaryan." Han Gui thought for a moment and replied, "A stingy iron rooster has just become the maintenance president of this small village. ”

"Where's his house?" Zhao Tie handed the telescope to Han Gui, "If you secretly control this Qian Scar, will it alarm others." ”

Han Gui looked at it for a while, then put down the binoculars, "The largest courtyard in that village is the one, so there shouldn't be any problem in dealing with those few people in his family, right?" ”

"That's good. Let's take a good rest there, and then go to the railroad after dark, and see if we can make some more noise. Zhao Tie waved his hand, motioned for everyone to come around, and began to arrange.

Qian Scar's big name is Qian Zezu, and from the outside, he is not fat and fat like many landlords and old wealth. Because he is stingy and narrow-minded, he can't get fat no matter how good he eats.

Tonight he put on his clothes again, and went to the outer courtyard to check the portal, according to the old custom, and prepared to come back to sleep when he had finished looking.

After checking around, Qian Scareye turned and walked back, and suddenly someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind, and as soon as he turned his head, the barrel of a barge gun was stuffed in his mouth.

Seeing a few people with their faces covered and fanning around, Qian Scar's heart sank to the bottom, and his legs trembled involuntarily.

I was already very careful, and when the bandits were making a lot of noise, I moved to the city to live for a while, but I didn't expect that I still didn't hide from it! My food, my money!

Zhao Tie didn't speak, just stared at him with gloomy eyes, watching his face turn pale and blue, until he was about to fall softly, he opened his mouth, and his cold voice pierced into the depths of Qian Scar's heart, "If you want to die, call out." ”

Qian Scareye shook his head slightly, his eyes full of fear.

"Borrow your house to rest and have a hot meal." Zhao Tie pulled out the gun and wiped the saliva on Qian Scar's clothes, "Don't force me to kill your whole family!" ”

As he spoke, he suddenly widened his eyes and turned his face straight in front of Qian Scar's eyes.
