On the first day of the big gathering a year ago, a large empty field outside Zhangzhuang was really lively, with all kinds of people shuttling back and forth, and the sound was noisy and noisy.

Chen Hong walked around the market and said happily: "I didn't expect so many people to come to catch the big market, which shows that the propaganda work in our district is still in place." ”

A staff member next to him nodded, echoed two sentences, and reminded: "At the district committee, Secretary Shi explained that you should be careful of the enemy. I think there must be one of them. ”

Scarcity is a certainty. The base areas also welcome those serious small traders and hawkers to come, on the one hand, to meet the actual needs of the masses, on the other hand, to obtain some strategic materials, and on the other hand, to use this as a cover to spread information.

Of course, all kinds of anti-rape and anti-special measures are also indispensable, but even so, there is no guarantee that it will be foolproof, and it is not uncommon to infiltrate the spy enemy.

Intelligence and counterintelligence warfare have never stopped, and both sides attach great importance to this. They all want to find the weaknesses of their opponents. in order to carry out an effective crackdown.

Chen Hong pondered for a moment and said, "Even if there is, it can't be too strict to inspect and arrest, which destroys the peaceful atmosphere after this anti-sweep and scares away other vendors." ”

The staff looked at Chen Hong, waiting for him to come up with an idea. Although it makes a lot of sense, you can't do nothing, let the enemy come and go freely!

"Didn't the guerrillas send people, and then mobilize the militia in the village and step up at the intersection outside." Chen Hong looked confident, and almost shook the goose feather fan, "On the set, only send some militia to maintain order." This is called tightening on the outside and loosening on the inside. ”

The staff blinked and nodded their heads. Look at people, in the end, they have read books, how good this brain is, and the whole noun is good, tight on the outside and loose on the inside!

After arranging the work, Chen Hong came to a tent outside the big set. This is the resting place of the militia, which is responsible for maintaining order, as well as the administrators.

After a while, Wei Chun'er led his two younger brothers over, both of whom were carrying baskets made of wattle strips.

Wei Chun'er stopped in front of the tent and instructed his two younger brothers, "Go to the market and sell it, it's best to exchange it for some food, don't care about selling more or less, and don't quarrel with others." ”

The two boys agreed, and left with the basket on their backs.

Wei Chun'er lifted the cotton curtain and entered the shed. Seeing Chen Hong sitting inside, he smiled and said hello.

"Sit down and rest." Chen Hong was always very enthusiastic about lesbians, asked Wei Chun'er to sit by the stove, and poured her a bowl of hot water.

"I don't think it's okay to be on duty." Wei Chun'er stood the big gun next to his feet and said, "They are all here to do business, disputes are inevitable, but who dares to come here to make trouble?" ”

Chen Hong shook his head and said solemnly: "Thought affects action, and we can't relax in this regard. Although the sweep is over, can the enemy give up? Send the enemy to reconnoiter and spy on it, I think it's certain. ”

Wei Chun'er thought for a while and said, "Secretary Chen is right, I have relaxed my vigilance. ”

Chen Hong nodded pretending to be reserved, and said: "Heightened vigilance must be maintained for a long time, whether it is the guerrillas, the militia, or even the common people, this string must be tightened. ”

Wei Chun'er nodded, remembering it carefully, and felt that Secretary Chen was young, knowledgeable, and highly conscious, which was really admirable.

Chen Hong noticed that Wei Chun'er had a leather belt tied with a bullet box on it, and couldn't help but be a little curious.

The militia is usually the dress of the common people, and there may be bullet belts sewn in the cloth, but it is rare to see such a dress.

"Tie the leather belt, look heroic!" Chen Hong joked: "In the militia, but you can compare to others!" ”

Wei Chun'er smiled and said, "This is what Da Mei asked me to give me." Passing by the village the night before, she was busy going home and did not come into the village to see me. ”

Chen Hong's mind immediately appeared that handsome and unusual woman, pursed the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "It turns out that she has returned to Wangjiawa!" I thought she was in Chen Village, celebrating the New Year with the guerrillas! ”

"The family is here, of course she has to go back for the New Year!" Wei Chun'er said with a smile: "I'll go to the market for a while, if there are Wang Jiawa's acquaintances, let them tell Da Mei to come to my house to sit down, or come to the market to shop." ”

Chen Hong said with a smile: "The relationship between the two of you is very good, she brings you things, and you let her come to the house as a guest." ”

Wei Chun'er said: "What is better with Damei is Juzi. Of course, me and her are not bad either. ”

While he was talking, two or three more militiamen on duty came. Half-soldier and half-civilian, discipline is not so strict, and the concept of time is not so strong.

Chen Hong felt that it was not good to say more about Shen Chen, so he got up and called Wei Chun'er and another militiaman, and went out to the big set under the guise of inspection.

On the set, Wei Chun'er really saw a Wang Jiawa person, and asked him to bring a letter and invite Da Mei and Ju Zi to come to her house to play.

Chen Hong also put his mind at ease, feeling that he would almost be able to see Da Mei tomorrow. Thinking about the girl's appearance and demeanor, he was really looking forward to it, very eager.

happened to pass by a small stall, Chen Hong's eyes were fixed, and he saw a few goods.

After walking on the market for a while, Chen Hong broke away from Wei Chun'er and the militia and returned to the stall.

The peddler wore three clay hats, was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and was very sturdy, with a dark face and a smile full of smiles, and looked loyal and honest.

Seeing Chen Hong stop in front of the stall, he hurriedly introduced the goods with a smile, "At first glance, you are a big cadre who has seen the world, and you have vision." These goods are rare, and I can't buy them even in the county. ”

Chen Hong felt that the vendor was right, he had only seen these goods in big cities, and he had almost forgotten about them, but he didn't expect them to be sold here.

It's a pity that this vendor doesn't seem to know how to do business, and he sells these things in the rural market, and it is estimated that he will not be able to open it, and no one will come to buy it.

Chen Hong said lightly: "Your goods are indeed rare, but they are old, I don't know how many years they have been pressed." ”

The vendor grinned and said with a wry smile: "You're right, who has the spare money to buy these?" It can fill the belly, whether it is grain or bean cakes, they sell quickly. ”

Chen Hong estimated the money in his pocket, pointed to the piece of soap and asked, "How much is this?" ”

The vendor rolled his eyes, and said with a smiling face: "If someone else buys it, I won't sell it without a dollar." But if you want to buy it, I'll give you a discount. ”

Chen Hong hesitated, the money on his body was enough to buy, but he still wanted to buy two pairs of socks, and the money was a little tight.

The little trader observed Chen Hong's expression and knew that he wanted to buy it, so he took the soap and handed it over, and said generously: "Yes, you can give two cents." Today, not to make money, just to make a friend, please take care of this ground in the future. ”

Chen Hong pretended to give in, then took it and put it in his pocket, and took out the money and gave it to the vendor.

"Sir, if you want to buy something else, I'll bring it to you another day." The small trader said diligently: "Don't look at the small business I do, but there are still some ways." Even if it's not available on the market, I can find a way to get it. ”

Chen Hong thought for a while and asked in a low voice, "What about Western medicine, can you get it too?" ”

The little trader immediately made a bitter face and said, "You, you want my life!" The Japanese look at that thing tightly. After a pause, he turned his head, "But if it's a little bit, you can buy it, it's expensive!" ”

Chen Hong felt that this vendor was very useful, and the Western medicine in the base was the most lacking, if he could get it, wouldn't he have made a great contribution.

Thinking of this, Chen Hong told the vendor his name, hoping that he would make some contributions to the anti-Japanese base area and be afraid of danger to engage in Western medicine.

The trader had a bitter face and nodded, although he was embarrassed and reluctant, he could be regarded as agreeing to Chen Hong that he would find a way to bring Western medicine into the base area in the future.

Chen Hong was satisfied, feeling that this matter had done the best of both worlds, benefiting both the individual and the collective. However, he didn't notice the complicated gaze of the vendor looking at his back as he left.

……………

The afterglow of winter dusk soon faded, and the distant roads and woods sank into darkness, and the moonless sky full of cold stars seemed to let out a faint sigh.

Standing under the tree at the head of the village, Aunt Wang sighed deeply, rubbed her sore eyes, and staggered towards the village with her frozen legs.

"Old sister-in-law, I didn't guard Da Mei and Ju Zi!" Sun Hongshan and Aunt Wang walked across from each other, anxious, but still pressed, "You go home, don't worry." These two girls may be rushing back! ”

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "With Damei following, I'm not worried." Even devils can fight, and they are afraid of wild beasts? Perhaps, these two girls and the old man are together! Behold, don't stand stupidly outside, just wait at home. ”

Sun Hongshan nodded and said, "It's okay, I'm idle after eating, and I'll go back after a lap." ”

That being said, after Aunt Wang left, Sun Hongshan stayed in the village for a long time before returning disappointed.

In the deep mountains and old forests, several people were trekking, walking on the way back to the village.

That's right, it was Shen Chen, Juzi, Erdan, and Uncle Wang and the villager helpers he brought. Seven or eight hours have passed since entering the mountain, and it is no wonder that the family is in a hurry.

However, the harvest was rich, three muntjac, two elk, five pheasants, and the prey that Uncle Wang hunted.

Who made Shen Chen's marksmanship accurate, at a distance of several hundred meters, he took out the strength to snipe the devil, and no matter how alert the prey was, it was estimated that it would be difficult to prevent the killer.

Juzi and Erdan can see Shen Chen's awesomeness at this moment. Juzi is okay, she has fought with Shen Chen, and she knows that Shen Chen's marksmanship is very good. Erdan was a little dumbfounded, and he never dreamed that his sister would have such a skill.

Ten bullets were looted from Shen Chen, but Juzi didn't shoot them all. Under Shen Chen's guidance, she only fired four shots, and then cherished and refused to waste any more.

However, being able to shoot down a pheasant has also improved her shooting skills.

Uncle Wang and his helpers had originally found a good place and were going to ambush their prey at night, but Shen Chen's gunfire ruined the good plan.

followed the gunshots to find them, and Uncle Wang found that they were these two bold girls, and they were also half-sized.

I thought that I would ambush the prey at night and return to the village tomorrow morning, but Uncle Wang knew that his wife was worried about his daughter at home, so he had to pack up and go home in advance.

On the way back, Shen Chen walked ahead, and used the night eye and sniper to shoot a muntjac from a distance, which surprised Uncle Wang.

"Are you still happy?" Shen Chen couldn't help but pout when he looked at Juzi, and teased: "Go home and wait to be beaten!" ”

Juzi still smiled happily and said nonchalantly: "I'm a girl, and my father and mother have never beaten me." Of course, I didn't get into trouble. This time I went back with my father, and my mother didn't have anything to say. ”

Shen Chen really had nothing to say about this little cunning girl, rolled his eyes and said, "Don't think I don't know, it's your ghost eyes from beginning to end." ”

Juzi smiled and hugged Shen Chen's arm and said, "I didn't lie to you anything, I just want the two of us to be together and not be controlled by my father!" One by one, Sister Mei screamed, are you still angry? ”

Shen Chen smiled helplessly, he had long known that this girl was playing tricks, he didn't expose it, and he thought it was good!

"I'm going to catch the big set tomorrow!" Juzi said: "After hitting so many prey, don't you keep them all for yourself to eat, right?" ”

Shen Chen has no interest in selling his prey, and he is not short of this money. But I have already promised to go to the big market with my uncle and aunt's family, and by the way, it is nothing to tell Juzi.

Hearing that Shen Chen's family went to Daji, Juzi was very happy and said, "Just go to Aunt Tang's house and take a pheasant, which can be regarded as honoring the elders for the New Year." ”

Thinking of Wei Chun'er, Shen Chen felt that she might have the potential to be a sniper, but there were old mothers and young brothers, so I was afraid that she would not be able to get out.

And what Shen Chen entrusted to Wei Chun'er was not only the belt and bullet box, but also ten rounds of ammunition, hoping to give Wei Chun'er a few more opportunities to shoot live.

Chatting with Juzi, Shen Chen slowed down and waited for Uncle Wang and the others in the back for a while.

When Uncle Wang and the others came up, Shen Chen and Juzi replaced Uncle Wang and Erdan, pulling the plow and walking forward.

"Da Mei, you are a girl, it is really not easy to be in the guerrillas. Otherwise, you can go back to the village and become a militiaman. "Uncle Wang likes Shen Chen from the bottom of his heart, and he is also very emotional, he has to carry a gun to fight at a young age, this world is really-

Shen Chen smiled and said, "How can you come and go, the guerrillas and militia, can you still pick me tightly?" ”

After a pause, he continued: "Actually, it's good to be in the guerrillas, everyone takes care of me, and the food and drink are close to me. ”

Uncle Wang sighed secretly and said, "I know your thoughts, if you do a good job in the guerrillas, you can also receive some preferential treatment at home." Let's just talk about this house, which was also arranged by the district and explained to the village. ”

Shen Chen nodded and said, "So, I have to be worthy of this preferential treatment." Other people's homes have just been settled, but I have left the picks and stopped. ”

Uncle Wang felt that Shen Chen was really trustworthy, and he liked it more and more, and he couldn't stop talking about caring and loving.

At about eleven o'clock in the night, everyone climbed a hill and looked into the distance from a high place, and they could already see a few lights of Wangjiawa.
