Chapter 4 Two Villains, Murder and Gun
Whether the hair was cut or not, the aunt remembered what she had heard, only women in the anti-Japanese base areas cut their hair short, and the devils and traitors arrested people according to this.
Shen Chen also muttered in his heart when he heard this, so he didn't insist anymore.
But she didn't braided the troublesome braids anymore, and made the simplest one casually, her hair was tied at the back of her head, and the shape of the pony's tail made her aunt really mumble a few more words.
Staying in this poor home is something that Shen Chen has not thought about, since crossing, possession, and rebirth are related to the resistance against Japan, or the killing of devils and traitors, then she will continue to walk along this road.
That's the vein she's figured out, though even she's not quite sure.
Chu Jiao, Lu Shuang, Gouzi, Cao Yixin and others don't know what's going on? Shen Chen thought about them, but he also knew that now was not the time to look for them.
Why he was attached to Da Mei, and why he still carried that jade pendant, Shen Chen hadn't figured it out yet.
But now that we are in the current situation, the initial goal has been determined, which is to get guns and bullets, and have the power to protect ourselves instead of sitting and waiting.
has already had a similar experience, and combined with his current physical condition, Shen Chen believes that it is most appropriate to use a spear for long-range sniping.
After all, it's safer, and if it's hand-to-hand combat, it obviously shouldn't be a girl's forte.
If the spear is long, Shen Chen hopes that it will be a three-eight big cover.
Although it has the disadvantage of having a small killing effect, the recoil of the gun is small, and it is easy to control and master.
Moreover, there is almost no smoke and afterburn when shooting, and it is not easy to find the firing position when shooting during the day and night.
"Da Mei, there are Japanese turrets on the main roads and small roads in the East Mountain, and you are not allowed to dig vegetables or chop firewood, so you must not go again in the future." The aunt is still nagging.
"I know, I won't go in the future." Shen Chen walked out perfunctorily.
Xiaohuaniang originally wanted to go out to ask for food, but Shen Chen was unwilling to stay at home to take care of her uncle.
Because she is not very good at waiting for people, she said that she would go out for a walk, and buy some things by the way, so that she could go to the so-called big family in the town to be a companion to read Yahuan.
Looking at Shen Chen's back, Xiaohuaniang sighed helplessly.
First, she felt sorry for Da Mei, and second, she somehow felt that Da Mei had changed and became a little scary.
Shen Chen walked out of the courtyard and walked towards the north of the village. If you want to get a gun, it's best to have a big cover, then you have to go to a place where there are devils.
There are some devils stationed in the mine, but it is a power grid and a wolf dog, so it is not easy to start.
Besides, if you do it in the mine, I am afraid that the people in the village will be implicated. When is it now, the Japanese devils don't care what evidence is not proven, and if something happens, it is not a random arrest.
As soon as I reached the T-shaped street, I saw a group of people arguing and shouting. Shen Chen didn't know why, so he looked outside and listened.
It turned out to be the He family's dog-legged "hemp pole" and "fat head", who intercepted two farmers from other villages who came to buy coal at the entrance of the village. If you have to say that people are sending coal to the Eighth Road, not only will the coal be confiscated, but even the donkeys carrying the coal will have to be taken away.
Two honest peasants told the two doglegs their reasoning, and from time to time reached out to grab the reins, while the miners who were about to go to work gathered around, crowded and gossiping.
"When winter came, we just loaded some charcoal from a relative's house to heat the pot, but these two brothers insisted that it was sent to Balu, and they really died unjustly."
When the two peasants saw that they were surrounded by people, they grabbed the reins and complained to the others, apparently hoping that someone would come out and say a few words of peace and relieve the dilemma.
The two dogs ignored it, grabbed the reins and were about to take them away, but when they saw that the crowd was densely surrounded, they couldn't help but start a fire.
"Get out of the way!" The fat head shook his head and shouted: "Whoever doesn't dodge will be suspected of eight ways." ”
"Don't take this scary, what's the crime of carrying charcoal?"
"Whoever doesn't burn charcoal is suspected of eight ways?"
The two dog-legged men had no power or majesty, and the miners were outnumbered, but they were not afraid, and they did not give way when they were noisy.
"Why can't the Chinese burn the charcoal from the Chinese?" A big man took a step forward and glared at the two doglegs.
"Yes, the Chinese can't burn charcoal?"
"You are still a Chinese, lose the face of your ancestors."
"The Chinese don't have this number, foreign slaves."
With the leader, the big man also has some prestige, and the miners vent their usual oppression.
Two doglegs, you look at me, I look at you, you can't go, it's ugly to stay, it's a dilemma.
"This mining area has never heard that the Eighth Route is coming to transport charcoal, and it is going to be pulled to the imperial army, so it is necessary to say that you two are confusing people and creating chaos." After a slight pause, the big man continued: "If you really don't let go, I bought and burned this charcoal, I'm not an eight-way, right?" ”
The two doglegs originally wanted to cheat some money and make some foreign money, but when they saw that there were steps, they heard the word "buy" again, and hurriedly got off the donkey, "You are not, you are not, where did we come from in the mining area?" ”
"I'll have to follow and see the stacks unloaded." Ma Zhu said with a wink of small eyes.
"That's for the best." After the big man finished speaking, he led the two dogs away.
In fact, before they arrived at the place, the two doglegs were in a hurry to ask the big man to pay, and after half of the blackmail, they slipped away without caring about anything.
As soon as the big man led the dog legs away, the crowd slowly dispersed, no one paid attention, and Shen Chen was quietly following.
Not a spear, but a good condition for snatching a spear.
Shen Chen took a fancy to the box gun carried by the fat head and the hemp stick, these two guys, especially the hemp stick, the force value seems to be super low, if they attack secretly, the success rate will be higher.
Turning a little west of the village, you can see a wide and tall mansion, which is the compound of the owner of the mine, He Guifu.
There are two three-story buildings in the east and west of the He family compound, which are ancient and ancient, and one color is built with strips of stone; The north floor is a hall with four beams and eight pillars, on which dragons and phoenixes are carved. There are also many Western-style houses with blue bricks and gray tiles in the large courtyard, which looks very spacious.
Shen Chen followed the two doglegs all the way to the He family's compound, and when she saw the doglegs entering, she walked around the compound and observed.
There were high walls all around, and he couldn't see the layout of the houses inside, and Shen Chen didn't want to jump in to reconnoitre, but just looked at the terrain and wondered how he could snatch a gun from those two doglegs. In front of him was the corner of the wall, and before Shen Chen could turn around, he heard someone talking.
"What's this?"
"This is rice, which was transported from the south, and the He family thought that there were too many seeds, so they poured it out."
"Smell it, it really smells of grain!"
"It's hard to fish one by one, you can just use the basket to fish."
Shen Chen sounded a little familiar, so he turned the corner and saw two girls squatting by the gutter at the corner of the wall, scooping up the white things floating on the top layer of sewage. But the ditch is full of sludge, and it is very difficult to fish.
It should be called Lanzi and Juanzi, Juanzi is still the maid of the He family's compound, Shen Chen searched for his memory, and he didn't bother them, just looked at it and wanted to leave.
At this time, a thin monkey-like child flashed out of the courtyard of the He family, wearing a hat crookedly, squinting his eyes, and holding a rattan in his hand. When he saw the two girls collecting rice, he shouted, "What are you doing?" ”
Shen Chen knows this little villain, He Xiaoshan, the young master of the He family, who relies on his own power to bully people.
If a child offends him, he will be treated to a treat and apologize, or arrested and tortured.
She sensed that the little villain was about to play tricks again, so she turned and walked in.
"What are you doing, why don't you talk to the young master?" He Xiaoshan's eyes narrowed.
"Let's pick up some rice from the dirty water." Lanzi and Juanzi were a little scared, and Lanzi replied timidly.
He Xiaoshan took a look and said viciously: "You are thieves, stealing rice. ”
"No, young master." Juanzi plucked up the courage to distinguish and said: "I don't want to throw it in the dirty water, I'll help Lanzi pick up some." ”
"It's a thief." He Xiaoshan said arrogantly, stepped forward and kicked the basket over, and scattered the little rice he had just fished all over the ground.
Lanzi and Juanzi hurriedly squatted on the ground and put the rice into the basket little by little. He Xiaoshan jumped up angrily, raised the rattan and smoked Juanzi, but Juanzi didn't say a word.
One whip, two whips, and the third whip could not be drawn. Although Shen Chen was a little thinner, he was also a slap taller than He Xiaoshan, pinched He Xiaoshan's wrist, and snatched the rattan.
"She's my girl, I can't care if I kill you." He Xiaoshan was startled at first, took two steps back, and when he saw that it was another girl, his courage grew again.
Shen Chen shook the rattan in his hand, snorted, and scolded: "Look at your soft egg appearance, you know how to bully girls." ”
He Xiaoshan was so angry that he threw a punch.
Shen Chen coped with this disorderly attack, pulling his hand and stumbling under his feet, He Xiaoshan didn't know what was going on, so he fell with his own strength.
"Cry, scream, find your mother!" Shen Chen sneered playfully, but secretly gestured to Lanzi and Juanzi, telling them to leave quickly.
He Xiaoshan was stopped, he fell very painfully but got up stiffly, looked at Shen Chen hatefully, but did not dare to step forward to fight again.
Shen Chen saw that Lanzi was gone, and Juanzi also slipped away along the wall, and suddenly stepped forward and waved the rattan violently, making a gesture to whip He Xiaoshan.
He Xiaoshan let out an "ah" and was so frightened that he held his head in his hands.
The whip didn't fall for a long time, and the bad boy put down his hand in wonder, Shen Chen had disappeared. He looked around, but saw that Shen Chen had already left quickly, leaving only his back.
"If you have the ability, don't run, it's strange if the young master doesn't beat you to cry and call your mother." He Xiaoshan came back to his senses, pointing and scolding.
Shen Chen listened to it sincerely, but he didn't bother to pay attention to the clamor of this little villain, shaking the rattan in his hand and walking happily.
……………
It was getting dark, and the searchlights on the mine were sweeping eeriely like the eyes of a monster.
Shen Chen carried an axe, sneaked out of the house, walked around the village, came to a place not far from the He family's compound, and hid behind a tree on the side of the road.
She didn't know exactly what the hemp stick was doing, but she decided to wait, even if it didn't take place overnight.
Time is very tight, Shen Chen really doesn't want to live in the village longer, depressed and dull. She had to get her hands on the weapon as soon as possible before she could continue on the path she had figured out.
And her choice to start here was also deliberate, after all, this fifteen-year-old girl was a mature and sophisticated soul.
A few years ago, it used to be a large well in the village, but then it dried up because of the mining or the exhaustion of groundwater.
When there were fewer people, the weeds and trees gradually flourished, and the dry well was obscured. But Shen Chen came to see it during the day, and the dry well was not covered, and it was a good place to bury the body.
Shen Chen not only had to seize the gun, but also destroy the corpse, so that others would not know the death and whereabouts of the hemp stick, so it would be impossible to investigate it for the time being.
The night gets darker and the scenery becomes more blurry. The wind was blowing, and the leaves and weeds were brushing, as if they were sighing, as if they were whispering.
Shen Chen made a simple arrangement with ropes and branches, tried two more times, and made a mark on the road.
Her current body allows her to try her best to adopt traps and use strategies, and the head-to-head confrontation is not only troublesome, but also not completely certain.
Clouds float in the sky, occasionally revealing the moon, sprinkling moonlight and dappling light and shadow in the ground.
Shen Chen leaned behind the tree, closed his eyes slightly, and listened to the movement while thinking about various possibilities.
It's not a single time to cross and be reborn. Although she guessed the possibility, she was not very sure, so she inevitably thought wildly, inevitably tried and confirmed.
I don't know how long it took, Shen Chen finally heard the human voice, and kept approaching.
"Sister, I was born, I'm only seventeen......" The fat head hummed a lewd tune and walked along the road staggeringly.
Coincidentally, Shen Chen originally wanted to solve the hemp pole, but the hemp pole went to the mine to work after dinner, and he staggered with Shen Chen, which was regarded as picking up a life.
But this fat head, after drinking two taels of wine, saw that there was nothing going on in the He family's compound, so he slipped out to find his concubine, a widow in the village.
Shen Chen watched this guy slowly approach, although it was not the most ideal object, she still decided to start.
Fat is a little fatter, but if you sneak attack, you are still a little sure. This guy is a little fatter, and he can still stuff it into a dry well.
The fat head had no idea that death was approaching step by step, and the villagers had been so angry over the years that he couldn't imagine anyone who would dare to kill him.
Closer, closer, Shen Chen stared at the footsteps of the fat head, and just when she was one step away from the stone mark on the road, she slammed the rope.
The taut branches of the tree had been accumulating for a long time, and with the sound of the wind, and a few stones from a tattered garment, they shook it violently and smashed it over with a hood.
The fat head was caught off guard, and before he could scream, his head was already smashed, and the branches with dead leaves swept into his face, and he was immediately a little dizzy.
Shen Chen had already estimated the error, and he was not so optimistic that this trap could kill a person at once.
So, she took the axe in her hand, and while the fat head was beaten by the sweep, she jumped out from behind the tree and smashed it the back of the fat head, and then again......
