He Jianye, who was squatting in the wild of Shiyang Village, looked at the dark night sky, looking at the brothers who were tired and difficult to reach here, and actually heard the rare chirping of birds and insects in this wilderness......

"In the more than a month since the Xuzhou War, this is the first time I have heard birds and insects!" He Jianye thought in his heart,

"Yang Xiaoshi, send a few people into the village, listen to this movement, it seems that the Japanese have not come here yet. Don't disturb the villagers. He Jianye said,

"Yes, Captain." Yang Xiaoshi took the order and left,

"Commander, no Japanese have been found in the village, and the villagers have begun to get up early." Yang Xiaoshi came back and reported,

"Let's go, go into the village, and find their chief first. Don't scare people. He Jianye confessed,

A huge procession of more than 300 people began to enter the village, and the villagers who had just gotten up early immediately returned to their homes, and every household closed their doors, no matter how He Jianye sent people to persuade them, they just didn't go out......

"Sir, I'm the chief of Shiyang Village, just call me Lao Litou, do you have any orders?" An old man brought over by Yang Xiaoshi said tremblingly,

"Old man, don't be afraid, we are from the 16th Regiment of the 3rd Division of the National Revolutionary Army, not bandits. Today, I passed through this place to go to the other side of the Hun River, I wonder if the old man can find a few boats conveniently? He Jianye said with a smile,

"Sir, we don't have a ferry here! Even if you go down to the river to fish, there are only two small fishing boats! Lao Li Tou replied,

"In this way, the old man, we don't use it in vain, as long as the old man helps, I say do it, we give Dayang, how about it?" He Jianye asked,

"Zeng Da, take out all our oceans." He Jianye commanded,

"Yes, regiment leader" Zeng Da found the captured ocean from the horse behind him, and came to He Jianye with a bag......

"Uncle, we have a total of more than 300 people and more than 30 horses here, and one person will give you a salary of one ocean, and one horse will pay you three oceans, what do you think? We paid on the spot, and there was absolutely no one who would dare to be rude to you. You have to trust me. In addition, Dayang, you organize the villagers to boil some hot water for us, it would be better if there was something to eat, we use Dayang to buy it here, do you think it can? He Jianye grabbed a handful of oceans and handed them to Lao Li Tou and said,

"You're not here to steal something?" Lao Li Tou asked,

"Uncle, we are the national army and the people's army, the government's army, and we are specially here to fight little Japan; Absolutely do not rob the common people's things. He Jianye pointed to the blue sky and white sun emblem on his hat and said,

"Sir, don't blame the little old man for being stingy, the villagers are scared of the routs in the past. I don't believe you guys! In this way, you send two soldiers to follow me, and each family will be given an ocean, so that I can tell the villagers that there are not many people in the entire Shiyang Village, there are only more than 30 households in total, and they are all fishermen who make a living by fishing and farming. Lao Li Tou said cautiously, glancing at He Jianye with his eyes......

"Old man, you look at this family, I don't know when it went. In this way, I am in a hurry, you take them all to the dam in the village, I don't bring the soldiers, I go alone, I carry this bag of the ocean, you call them out, you come and send them out. What do you think? He Jianye said,

"Okay, if you don't go to these soldiers, you will go?" The uncle looked at He Jianye in disbelief,

"I promise, uncle, you see, I will leave all my guns behind and carry the ocean over. What do you think? That's enough sincerity! He Jianye said,

"Then you let them get out of the village first." Lao Li Tou is still not at ease,

"Yang Xiaoshi, take a platoon to guard the direction of Yongcheng and the direction of Suxian, don't come here with Japanese devils, we don't know yet. Zeng Da led the team to wait outside the village. He Jianye ordered,

"Yes" The two men immediately regrouped their ranks and began to move outside the village......

"Commander, it's not safe for you to go alone, why don't I bring two guards with you?" Zeng Da came over and whispered,

"Haha, they are all my Chinese people, in addition to them, can you find more reassuring and simple people? I don't feel at ease among them, so how can we let them help us. Execute the command! He Jianye said loudly,

"Yes, be careful, Commander." Zeng Da followed the team except for the village.

"Old man, you can call the villagers out in this way! I'll just wait here, okay? He Jianye asked,

"The chief was angry, and the old man immediately called the villagers out." Old man Li walked away quickly, although he was not young, his body was really tough......

"Bell, bell......" Lao Li took out a gong and began to beat it around the village, shouting as he knocked,

"The folks are all out! Go to the dam, this time the national army is not here to grab things, everyone hurry up and ......"

When the villagers heard the chief shouting, they poked their heads out of their homes, and saw that there was an official standing on the dam, without soldiers and guns, and they went out in twos and threes to follow the chief to the dam......

"Sir, we're all here. Look at ......" Lao Li nodded at He Jianye and said,

"Old man, please tell them, I am responsible for giving Dayang, and you can give as much as you say." He Jianye said,

"Folks, the chief just said......." Lao Li Tou began to explain to the villagers the news that He Jianye was preparing to hire a boat, and emphasized that now each household will pay a large ocean first......

"Sir, it's all done. Look at ......" Lao Li turned his head and asked, the villagers below began to talk to each other, pointing and pointing, as if they couldn't believe that this was the truth, it has always been the national army passing by, sending labor and labor, and providing food and drink, and they have not yet sprayed the initiative to give money......

He Jianye looked at the chaotic crowd below, as well as the young adults squatting around the dam, and didn't bother to explain, and directly ripped open the sack, revealing the ocean of white flowers inside; The ocean shimmered with a dazzling white light in the bag......

"Uncle, you can send as much as you want." He Jianye stood directly next to him,

Lao Li Tou walked to the front of the bag, looked at He Jianye, and found that the officer smiled and signaled that he was casual. Lao Li had the courage to grab a handful of oceans and take them out in his hand, turned his head to look, and saw that the officer was still smiling and signaling him to hurry up......

"All line up, come one by one, no one is an ocean, don't try to fool me, the old man will recognize you. Li, you take it first. Come, here you go, an ocean, take it and go back and ask your man to get the fishing boat out, and if you cross the ocean, you will have one more ocean......" Lao Li Tou took out an ocean and handed it to a middle-aged woman......

The weather-covered woman couldn't believe it, took the ocean, bit it in her mouth, and found that it was true, and was directly stunned......

"What are you doing? If you don't want it, you can return it. Old Li Tou roared,

"Hehe, uncle, I'll go back and ask our boss to get a boat, I'll go back and boil some boiling water for the chiefs first......" The chattering woman laughed and ran away......

"Li Da, you dead man, why don't you go and get the boat out, you have made money today, sell more strength to the chief, maybe there will be a reward later......" The woman with the ocean roared as she ran,

......

There were more than 30 families in total, and soon the old people were finished, and the villagers left in all kinds of laughter and scolding, mixed with a lot of rural slang jokes, He Jianye didn't hear it clearly, just stood by and watched the villagers' smiles, listened to their laughter, and rushed to feel comfortable......

"O people who are easily satisfied! Damn Japs! He Jianye began to curse in a low voice......

"Sir, it's all over, and you can tell someone to move out of the rest. I'll ask the villagers to prepare hot water and rice for you, but we don't have anything to eat here, sir, I don't know if the chief dislikes it? Lao Li said happily,

"Old man, what about the ocean? You keep it first, there are a total of 500 oceans, according to the price we just said, there are dozens more, and it is counted as your hard work before the meal and the old man, so I bother the old man to help Zhang Luo. He Jianye said with a smile,

"How do you make it that you haven't started working yet? It's already mine to let the chief pay an ocean first, I can't take so much anymore, besides, the coarse tea and light rice in the countryside don't care about the money at all, and I don't need so much. Lao Li only waved his hand......

"Old man, you take it first. You also know that we are afraid of scaring the villagers when we are soldiers, and we also need the elderly to help; Take it! Go and call the team into the village to warm up the ......," He Jianye said as he walked out of the village......
