For the poor people at that time, they may not be able to eat "foreign pills" for the rest of their lives. Usually if you have a headache and cold, the most common treatment is to sweat, or get some herbs and use home remedies to treat the disease.

Because of this, they have no resistance to the medicine, and the effect of the first time they take the medicine is basically good.

After feeding her mother the medicine, Wei Chun'er was busy heating up the dry food brought by Shen Chen and Juzi, and also made hot soup and served it for them to eat.

Shen Chen and Ju Zi didn't want to disturb the patient's rest, so they came to the next room, which was also very messy and didn't have time to clean up. The kang has just been burned, and the heat has not yet come up.

Wei Chun'er said sorry words vigorously, and went to the stove room to bring a pot of coals to Shen Chen and Juzi to keep warm.

At this time, the two and a half sons of the Wei family also returned. One went to collect firewood, and the other borrowed some cornmeal somewhere.

After Shen Chen and Juzi finished eating, they kept the rest of the dry food, which was enough for the family to deal with.

When the two and a half children saw Juzi carrying a gun, they were so hungry that they always wanted to make up for it.

After eating and drinking, and his body was warm, Shen Chen felt that he should go and meet Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou. At best, he is a guerrilla, and it is not good to wander around freely.

"Kikuko, you just rest first." Shen Chen saw that Juzi was showing a big gun to the two and a half children, so he got up and said, "I'll go to the ancestral hall to have a look, and I'll be back in a while." ”

"Don't you have to take it? You can find the place. Juzi said politely, and after getting Shen Chen's answer, he no longer insisted.

Shen Chen walked out of the house, walked onto the street, identified the direction, and walked to the east.

Two people walked in front of him, originally talking while walking, but when they saw Shen Chen, their eyes turned to them.

Shen Chen has become accustomed to the gaze of others, who made him a girl now, not to mention fully armed, and his dress is relatively alternative.

Chen Hong looked at the young girl, a white velvet hat was worn on her head, a strand of dark hair floated out from behind the hat, the goose egg face was very white, the nose was straight, and a pair of big black eyes under the long eyelashes......

She's that Damei? It's really mighty and handsome, and has a temperament different from those mountain girls.

Thinking that this handsome girl was a guerrilla and would have to be with Zhao Tie and other rough men all day long, a wave of jealousy suddenly rose in Chen Hong's heart. Zhao Tie defends her in every possible way, does he have other plans?

When several people were about to staggered by, Chen Hong suddenly stopped and greeted, "You are Comrade Damei, right?" ”

Shen Chen stopped, looked at Chen Hong, nodded, and said, "It's me." Excuse me, are you-"

Chen Hong walked up two steps with a smile, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, I am Chen Hong, deputy secretary of the district party committee." ”

Shen Chen politely took off the glove in his right hand, stretched out his hand and shook it with Chen Hong, and said, "Hello, Secretary Chen." ”

He hasn't done any rough work for so long, and Shen Chen is also very concerned about the maintenance of his hands, and a pair of flexible and sensitive hands is also one of the conditions for a sniper.

Therefore, it turns out that most of the hard calluses on the hands have been gone, and the flesh has also grown, which looks plump and soft.

Chen Hong held this soft hand, but the good feeling quickly disappeared. Shen Chen just shook it, then naturally let go and put on his gloves again.

The loss was fleeting, and Chen Hong said with a kind smile on his face: "I admire your heroic deeds very much. I just finished a meeting this morning, and I talked about you! ”

Shen Chen smiled and said, "Secretary Chen has won the award." What kind of heroism, that's not to talk about. ”

"Why can't you talk about it?" Chen Hong raised his hand to signal the staff next to him to leave, and continued to talk to Shen Chen, "Killed so many enemies and stopped the enemy's pursuit." To tell the truth, we can live here now, not in the mountains, thanks to you! ”

"Don't be so polite." Shen Chen said modestly: "Everyone is contributing to the War of Resistance, but I just did my duty and contributed a meager strength." ”

This girl also speaks with her head and head, and she doesn't have the clumsy mouth and stupidity of a country girl!

Chen Hong was a little surprised in his heart, his eyes flashed brightly, and he said: "The work of women in our district is a little weak, I think you are shrewd and capable, it is better to-"

Shen Chen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Except for fighting, I'm not interested in other jobs. Thank you, Secretary Chen, for your kindness......"

After a pause, he made an excuse to leave, "If there is nothing else, I will first report to the ancestral hall where the guerrillas live, and see if there is any mission?" ”

Chen Hong had no reason to have a long talk with Shen Chen, so he pretended to wave goodbye to Shen Chen in a chic manner. Looking at Shen Chen's back as he gradually walked away, Chen Hong's face slowly sank.

When Shen Chen came to the ancestral hall, Zhao Tie had already looked for him outside. From the sentry's mouth, he knew that Shen Chen had entered the village, but he didn't know which house he had entered.

"You girl, if you don't come to report first when you enter the village, Lao Zhao will go out to find you for a long time." Seeing Shen Chen, Lao Zhou pretended to be annoyed and counted down.

Shen Chen looked at Zhao Tie, smiled, and said, "I had a meal at an acquaintance's house in the village and saved you food, aren't you happy?" ”

Zhao Tie really didn't have a trick for this sharp-toothed girl, smiled wryly and waved his hand, and said, "Sit down, I don't look like a girl." ”

Who is the girl? Shen Chen pursed his lips, took off his velvet hat, sat on the bench, stretched out his hand to bake the brazier, and asked, "What are the tasks or actions, or are you temporarily recruiting troops and stepping up training?" ”

Zhao Tie said: "Wait for the decision above!" One is to stay temporarily, accumulate strength, and protect the cadres and the masses; The other is to re-enter the enemy-occupied area and bring back the stolen military coal. ”

Lao Zhou added: "Or go to enemy-occupied areas to carry out operations, continue to attract team members from the miners, and sabotage the looting and mining of devils." ”

Shen Chen blinked his eyes and said, "I don't think it's of much use to stay." If the enemy really fights, we will definitely not be able to stop it. What protects the cadres and the masses is just to make them feel a little safer in their hearts. ”

"If you can't stop it, you can delay, and it's good to give the cadres and the masses time to evacuate!" Zhao Tie said: "You can't just leave it alone as you said. ”

Shen Chen teased: "I think you are afraid of responsibility." If we didn't have these cadres and masses when we first came back, why didn't we want to go to them and protect them? ”

Lao Zhou rolled his eyes and said, "You girl, you're not polite to speak." However, it is true. The guerrillas are a little less, but they have guns in their hands and can fight so many times. The guard post was also placed far away and looked at it seriously. If we leave, there is a stir, and we don't know what the chaos will be when we retreat? ”

Shen Chen shrugged his shoulders, expressing understanding and helplessness.

Zhao Tie smiled, diverted the topic, and said, "You are the only woman in the guerrillas, which is somewhat inconvenient. Lao Zhou and I reflected it to the above, and it is estimated that a female comrade will be sent to accompany you soon. ”

"Will the one sent do it?" Shen Chen expressed concern and said, "Let's go pick one." ”

Lao Zhou laughed and said, "If you want to have a suitable one, you can recommend it!" I think that Kikuko gets along well with you, and I got her a gun. ”

Shen Chen shook his head, "Juzi can't do it." The uncle and aunt are just such a girl by their side, and it is too dangerous to pull her out to fight. If something happens, I can't explain it. ”

Zhao Tie nodded in agreement and said, "The Women's Rescue Association will be in Wangjiawa, so it's appropriate to pick people from there." The ideological consciousness of those women comrades is still very high. ”

Glancing at Shen Chen, Zhao Tie teased: "Don't look at you to fight, in this regard, you can't compare to others." ”

Shen Chen is not angry, except for killing devils and traitors, he really has no ideological awareness.

"Don't talk about ideological awareness, just talk about what you say and believe it!" Shen Chen looked at Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou with a smile and said, "You promised me to help my uncle's family move here." Now, I think Wang Jiawa is good. Shouldn't you do something? ”

Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou glanced at each other and smiled.

"How do you help?" Lao Zhou smiled: "Let me build a house with him and mud bricks?" ”

"I'm afraid it's too late to build a house." Shen Chen said: "Find an empty house, clean it up, and just look like it." ”

Zhao Tie thought for a while and said, "When the sweep is over, the enemy retreats, and the cadres and masses return to their respective places, but they can free up a few empty rooms." Or wait until spring and summer to rebuild the house. ”

Shen Chen also knew the current situation, just looking at the house he used to live in, now there were more than a dozen people crowded on the kang, and it was really difficult to accommodate his uncle's family.

"Then don't call the boss Meidamedi." Shen Chen had another opinion, frowned slightly and said, "Who knows if it will be passed over there, didn't I say the new name Shen Xiaochen, it's okay to call Xiaochen!" ”

Zhao Tie rubbed his head, feeling a headache and helplessness at Shen Chen's cautiousness and eccentricity.

Lao Zhou smiled and said, "This, I'm used to it, it's really hard to change it for a while." Okay, okay, we accept this opinion with an open mind, and we will definitely change it in the future. ”

"Are you going back to Wangjiawa tonight?" Zhao Tie remembered something and asked.

"It doesn't matter where I am." Shen Chen said: "But Juzi can't do it, if you don't go back at night, the uncle and aunt should be remembered." Let her go alone, I don't worry, let's send her back! ”

"That's right." Zhao Tie stood up and said, "Then I will take you to meet Secretary Shi of the district party committee now, and then while the sky is still bright, you and Juzi will hurry back." ”

"What's the matter with Secretary Shi? He's so idle that every newcomer has to meet? Shen Chen got up and followed Zhao Tie to the door, but he felt that it was completely unnecessary.

Zhao Tie was just about to speak, a hearty laugh rang out, the hidden door was pushed open, and Shi Deguang walked in with a smile.

"I'm really idle, I'll come and see you when I have time." Shi Deguang looked at Shen Chen, smiled and stretched out his hand, "Hello, Comrade Damei." ”

Shen Chen quickly regained his composure, as if he hadn't said anything just now, and shook hands with Shi Deguang calmly, "Secretary Shi, hello." ”

Shi Deguang looked at Shen Chen's performance and nodded slightly, but this composure and composure are rare.

"Sit, everybody." Shi Deguang stretched out his hand to beckon.

After everyone sat down, Shi Deguang briefly inquired about the situation at Shen Chen's house, and heard Zhao Tie say that Shen Chen wanted his uncle's family to move over, and immediately said that he would help.

"There are many people who have escaped from enemy-occupied areas, and they can't stand the cruel rule of Japanese devils and traitors, and we do our best to settle them." Shi Deguang said: "Wangjiawa is a good village, I will let the local cadres arrange this matter." ”

Sure enough, there are acquaintances who are easy to do, Shen Chen felt the bottom in his heart, and expressed his gratitude again and again.

"It turned out that I would send a lesbian to accompany you in the guerrillas." Shi Deguang said: "But after I think about it, if the temper is not right, it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble. In this way, I will write you a letter of introduction, and when you return to Wangjiawa, you can put forward some of your conditions to Director Li of the Women's Rescue Association. ”

"That's good." Shen Chen smiled and nodded, "I'm a little bit of a person, and I really need to find a partner who is magnanimous and doesn't have the same knowledge as me." ”

"Not really." Shi Deguang shook his head and said, "I think I have a lot of ability and a little temper. ”

Shen Chen was silent, thinking that this arrangement was already good, this Secretary Shi was approachable, but he was very easy to speak.

"It's not early, don't rush to get back to Wangjiawa after dark." Shi Deguang said: "As for the letter of introduction, you can go to the village office to get it later." ”

Shen Chen stood up and said, "Then I'll go to Wei Chun'er's house first, call Ju Zi, and then go to get the letter of introduction." ”

"Go ahead!" Shi Deguang also got up, "I'll go back to the village office, and we'll see you again in a while." ”

Shen Chen said goodbye to Shi Deguang, Zhao Tie and others, opened the door and walked out.

"This girl is good." Shi Deguang didn't leave immediately, turned his head to Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou and said with a smile: "Although I haven't seen her marksmanship, this unhurried, fearless and cowardly character is a powerful one." ”

Lao Zhou smiled: "This girl is eccentric, but it's not easy to deal with." ”

"You all have a headache, and the enemy can't deal with her even more when he touches her!" Shi Deguang laughed, and didn't seem to care much.

"This girl didn't say anything when she started fighting, but she was too murderous." Zhao Tie felt that taking a preventive shot first would save trouble in the future, "I guess I learned it from my master." ”

Shi Deguang nodded and said, "It doesn't matter if you have shortcomings, no one is perfect." She's still young, teens? ”

Facing Shi Deguang's inquiring gaze, Zhao Tie was also a little unsure, and turned to Lao Zhou.

Lao Zhou scratched his head and said uncertainly: "Maybe fifteen or sixteen, at most seventeen or eighteen!" As for the exact age, only her uncle and aunt know. What this girl said in her mouth is probably unreliable. ”

Shi Deguang smiled and said, "I think it's about the same age, this girl doesn't have a face, she pretends to be quite big." Okay, I'll go back to the village office first. ”

……………

When Shen Chen returned to Wei Chun'er's house, Wei Chun'er's mother had already recovered from a high fever, sobered up, and drank a bowl of porridge, and her spirits looked good.

Ju Zi was talking to her aunt, and Wei Chun'er was fiddling with the unloaded spear. Seeing Shen Chen come back, Wei Chun'er was grateful, and the words of thanks kept talking.

Shen Chen left two more pills and told Wei Chun'er to feed her mother again in six or seven hours. Then, he beckoned Kikuko and hurried out at dawn.

"yes, hurry back, you'll be home by midnight." Wei Chun'er hurriedly helped clean up, "It's too late to go back, uncle and aunt should be worried." ”

"If you want to run against us, you will go to our village." Juzi also reminded her cousin, "There are many people, and they deserve to be together." You are alone, your aunt and your brother, how can you take care of it? ”

Wei Chun'er nodded yes, and sent Shen Chen and Juzi all the way to the village office before waving goodbye.
