Chapter 21 Nothing, I believe it anyway
No one answered, some were confused, some were secretly glad, and some were afraid. Lao Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he and a few miners naturally belonged to those who were secretly happy.
He Jingtang snorted and scolded: "Toast and don't eat and drink." Let's get started, search one by one, and don't miss out. β
This time, Ma Pole responded loudly in front of Hong Gang's head, showing his loyalty, and commanded the mine police to start searching the miners.
The first one was searched, and there was nothing on him, so he waved his hand and scolded "Get out". But as soon as the miner took two steps, he was stopped by Hong's head.
"Turn on the calcium carbide lamp!" Hong commanded in a vicious voice, and then looked up at the miners standing in a circle, revealing a sneer.
Bastard, I really figured out the calcium carbide lamp. Lao Zhou secretly rejoiced at the same time, but also felt afraid.
One by one, the miners were searched, and the calcium carbide lamps were forced to turn on without omission, and they were allowed to leave only if there was no problem. Lao Zhou, Erhuzi and others passed the test smoothly and walked out of the mine.
"It's a dangerous day!" Out of the mine, not far away, Erhuzi let out a sigh of relief, and couldn't wait to speak.
Lao Zhou didn't answer, just glanced back at the mine.
He seemed to be able to imagine how He Jing and Tang Xingshi moved the crowd and Hong was full of confidence, but in the end he didn't catch anything, how he should look disappointed, frustrated, and angry.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
At night, in the old cave of a weir, Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou met again and exchanged information with each other.
"It seems that explosives are easy to steal." Lao Zhou was a little worried, and a little afraid, "I lost Damei today, otherwise, I and a few miners who have just developed will let the enemy end up." β
"Yes, you and I are looking forward to pulling out some miners and building a miner guerrilla army!" Zhao Tie also let out a long breath, paused, and said, "This big plum is really incomprehensible. That day she told me about burning sulfur, and I thought about it, but I didn't know the bottom of my heart. Tomorrow, I'm going to go to the kiln house again, and I have to find out what she does. β
"Do you have a way?" Lao Zhou asked.
Zhao Tie patted the burden and said with a wry smile: "No, there are some more goods." If she wanted to stay that day, she would call me again. When the time comes, I'll get straight to the point, and I won't believe it, in case something happens, I can't clean up a girl? β
"You-" Lao Zhou was a little stunned, and a little crying and laughing, "You don't have to underestimate her, this girl is mysterious, I'm afraid there are some doorways." β
"It's not easy." Zhao Tie thought for a while and said, "Although I can't figure it out, I don't look like an enemy. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken that risk. β
"yes, I don't believe she's a bad person either." Lao Zhou groaned and said: "It's good to find out the bottom, otherwise we will always be suspicious, and we can't let go of our actions in the future." Well, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to go directly to her house, so it's better for me to find someone and call her out to talk. β
"A girl, I'm afraid it's not so easy to call out, right?" Zhao Tie still had some doubts, "Moreover, where to talk about it?" On the avenue, in the woods, it's inconvenient! β
"Tell her to go to a miner's house in the village." Lao Zhou was more confident and said: "The miner's daughter is a playmate with her, so it should be no problem." If notβhehe, you can go to her house and shake that drum again. β
"Well, you're familiar, so I'll listen to you." Zhao Tie also smiled, and began to discuss the matter of blowing up the bridge with Lao Zhou.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
To get straight to the point, Zhao Tie thought it was a good idea. Similarly, Shen Chen, who had thought about it repeatedly, also thought that it was the fastest shortcut.
Daughter, this is an insurmountable difficulty. It was not that she was killed, but that the inconveniences in other aspects made her have to join the anti-Japanese collective, and she also had to join the guerrillas or the Eighth Route Army.
I haven't heard that there are female soldiers in the national * army who carry guns to fight, and it is not easy to find. Moreover, it seems that only the Eighth Route Army is eclectic, but it is difficult to say whether there is one in the combat troops.
Make up stories, Shen Chen is better at it. In this era, there is a shortage of soldiers, and even if it is made up, it cannot be verified.
Anyway, she felt that she was ready, so she waited for Zhao Tie or Lao Zhou to find her for a showdown, or she deliberately tried to attract their attention.
It's just that things came quickly, when Lanzi came to him, saying that the merchant was at his house, and if he needed something, he would pick it up, Shen Chen guessed that Zhao Tie was looking for him.
Happily agreed, Shen Chen put on a coarse blue cloth dress with patches, took some money, and didn't bring a three-tile hat, and walked out of the courtyard gate with Lanzi.
The two of them talked while walking, and when they were about to arrive at Lanzi's house, two people came to meet them. Shen Chen and Lanzi gave way to the side, and they didn't care too much.
"Hey, whose girl is this!" With a cheap voice, Ma Pole deliberately took a step sideways, and the cheap smiled to block the way.
Hey, dare to tease your uncle? Shen Chen's eyes widened and he scolded: "Good dogs don't get in the way, less educated plays, get out." β
"These big eyes, the more you stare at them, the more they are watery!" The hemp pole has a hippie smile, and he leans forward to move his hands and feet.
Shen Chen clenched his fists, and was about to hit this hateful face, and then cut off his grandson's feet-
"Da Mei, Lanzi, come here." Lanzi's father suddenly went out, came quickly, glared at the hemp pole fiercely, and protected Shen Chen and Lanzi from the entanglement of the hemp pole.
"*!" Ma Pole did not dare to blatantly do bad things, watching people walk away, looking reluctantly, and his mouth was not clean.
"Hehe, that's Sun Hongshan's niece, named Damei." The head next to him flattered, "I heard that it was bought by human traffickers, but I didn't expect to see it for a few months, but it became a handsome girl." As soon as I looked at it, I really didn't dare to recognize it! β
"Da Mei, hehe." With a wicked smile, Ma Pole nodded again and again, and walked away.
"Badass, brute." Lanzi's father, Wu Kui, led Shen Chen and his daughter into the house, and scolded in his mouth: "Who doesn't have a big man or a girl, it's really a little training." β
"Da Mei, you're not scared, are you?" Wu Kui turned to Shen Chen again, and comforted him gently: "In Zhuangshang, he doesn't dare to come nonsense. In the future, you should also be careful. β
Shen Chen shook his head with a smile, he wasn't scared, but his mother* felt that it was weird to be molested.
"Come, come in. Just wait for you to pick it out, and then tell the folks to buy it! Wu Kui thought it was even more strange, this girl was so bold, and she didn't look afraid to cower just now.
Shen Chen and Lanzi entered the house, and sure enough, it was Zhao Tie, who had already opened the burden and spread it on the kang, and added some more samples.
"Brother Tie!" Shen Chen greeted with a smile, and his eyes fixed on a hat.
The hat was supposed to be for children, and it was white like a velvet thread, with a red pom-pom on the top. Shen Chen stretched out his hand and took it and tried it, the elasticity was good, that is, he could also wear it on his head.
"Sister Da Mei, that's for the little doll." Lanzi giggled.
"I can wear it too." Shen Chen tried his hat on his head, it was a little tight, but he was satisfied, except for the red pompom.
If you put it on, you won't take it off, Shen Chen tidied up his hair, this is a bit like the kind of line hat worn by special forces in later generations, right? As for the color, it is just right in the snow, but it is much stronger than three tiles.
Lanzi smiled and reached out to pluck the red pompom that had fallen. Shen Chen smiled happily and shook his head vigorously, feeling the pom-pom swaying from side to side, hitting both sides of the back of his head.
"I didn't expect you to like this? Let's look at something else! Zhao Tie was a little surprised, but when he found that Shen Chen liked it, the cheerful smile on his face made him feel strange.
Wu Kui made an excuse and led Lanzi out, listening to the crackling sound in the courtyard, as if he was chopping wood.
Shen Chen sat down on the kang, picked it in his hand casually, didn't raise his head, and said, "Brother Tie, are you here to do business?" If there is anything else, then say it happily, don't mother-in-law. β
Zhao Tie was wording, but he was stunned for a moment by Shen Chen's question, and then slowly said: "Damei, today, there are indeed some things I want to ask you, but I don't know if you will tell the truth?" β
"Honestly?" Shen Chen raised his head with a teasing smile, "In this way, if you tell the truth, I tell the truth, and we won't suffer." How? β
Zhao Tie blinked, and as soon as he said "yes", Shen Chen opened his mouth and asked, "Then I'll ask you first, and then ask me when you're done." β
Zhao Tie felt that the initiative was snatched away by a girl all of a sudden, and he was a little uncomfortable, frowning slightly and not saying a word.
"Brother Tie, what are you doing? Is this it-" Shen Chen stretched out his hand and gestured with the word "eight".
Zhao Tie hesitated, hesitated, and raised his head to meet Shen Chen's crescent moon eyes, which seemed to make him decide. was meant to get straight to the point, but why did he hesitate again when it came to the end?
"I am not the Eighth Route Army, to be precise, I should be a guerrilla subordinate to the Eighth Route Army." After Zhao Tie finished speaking, he hurriedly asked, "What about you, how do you know about our affairs?" β
"What's the matter with you?" Shen Chen pretended to be stupid, and his eyes were round.
"You girl-" Zhao Tie rolled his eyes, a little helpless.
"Huh." Shen Chen laughed and said, "What are you burning sulfur and stealing explosives?" β
Zhao Tie seized the opportunity and asked rhetorically, "How do you know that we burn sulfur?" β
Shen Chen stretched out his finger a little harder, pursed his lips and smiled: "That's the point of asking!" Okay, I'll be honest, I saw it in Shiwolf Valley. You, and Uncle Zhou, I can't name the others. β
"What you saw in Shiwolfyu?" Zhao Tie narrowed his eyes, stared at Shen Chen in disbelief, and asked for a long time, "What are you doing in the mountains?" How did you get there? β
"It's my turn to ask, you have to play by the rules." Shen Chen took off his hat and put it on his hand and spun it around, "What are you stealing explosives for?" β
Zhao Tie kept his face calm and paused for a while before he spoke: "We want to blow up the ash bridge, so that the devils can't get coal, and strive to mobilize the devils who went into the mountains to sweep back." It's time for you to be honest this time, right? β
Shen Chen squinted his eyes at Zhao Tie, then nodded, his demeanor became upright, and said in a deep voice: "My matter is more complicated than yours, let me start from the beginning, you are not allowed to interrupt casually......"
Zhao Tie sat down and began to listen to the story, listening to the story made up by Shen Chen, the more he listened, the more surprised he became, and he wanted to open his mouth to ask questions several times, but was interrupted by Shen Chen's big eyes.
β¦β¦ He was bought by human traffickers, escaped halfway, and was rescued in the mountains and forests, and the traffickers were also killed by life-saving benefactors; The life-saving benefactor turned out to be a master of using a gun, a native of the Northeast, who had been a volunteer soldier and fled after the defeat; Since then, he has studied art and lived in the mountains and forests for a period of time, during which he killed many devils and puppet soldiers; After the marksmanship was completed, the master did not say goodbye and went to find the lost family members......
The bizarre story is even more incredible than the storyteller's storyteller, and Zhao Tie is not only surprised when he hears it, but it is simply unbelievable.
"That's it." Shen Chen let out a long breath and licked his lips, which was all dry!
Zhao Tie's expression looked weird, frowning, grinning, and rolling his eyes...... It took a long time before he spoke: "Is this the truth? Do you think anyone believes it? β
"I believe it!" Shen Chen said seriously: "If others don't believe it, I won't force it, anyway, I can prove it later." β
"How do you prove it?" Zhao Tie asked.
Shen Chen lowered his eyelids and said lightly, "Does it have anything to do with you?" What am I guilty of proving to you? After speaking, he looked at Zhao Tie's disbelief and suspicion, and suddenly felt depressed, threw away the velvet hat in his hand, got up and left.
"Hey-" Zhao Tie stretched out his hand to stop Shen Chen, but just touched her shoulder, and it was not intentional, but she suddenly threw it off on one side, stared at Zhao Tie with a chilling look, pushed open the door and left, even Wu Kui and Lanzi did not stop when they called him.
How did you get it? Zhao Tie was inexplicable and confused, but the last glance made him feel indescribable-uncomfortable, blocked, or......
Wu Kui chased him out, he was worried that Shen Chen would run into hemp poles or other bad seeds again, and he watched Shen Chen's back enter his yard before he turned around and came back.
"Did you bully Sister Da Mei?" Lanzi didn't know Zhao Tie's true identity, and thought he was a merchant, but seeing Shen Chen leaving angrily, he went into the house and questioned Zhao Tie, "Villain, you made Sister Da Mei ignore me." β
As she spoke, she wrapped the burden on the kang and threw it to Zhao Tie, "You go, don't want you to sell goods at my house, I have to tell the people in Zhuang that they won't buy your things." β
Zhao Tie couldn't cry or laugh, it was not okay to leave with his baggage, nor was he going to go. Fortunately, at this time, Wu Kui rushed back and said a few words to Lanzi, Lanzi was angry, turned around and ran away.
"Don't be surprised if the child is not sensible." Although Wu Kui didn't know Zhao Tie's true identity, Lao Zhou solemnly explained that he was obviously not a simple person.
"It's nothing, I didn't handle it well." Zhao Tie smiled bitterly and shook his head, put the burden on the kang, slowly sorted out the goods, his heart was rolling, and he didn't know what it was like, anyway, it was uncomfortable.
"Da Mei is still a child, and she may be annoyed if she doesn't say the right thing." Wu Kui guessed and persuaded: "I chased her out just now because I was afraid that something would happen to her." When she first came home, the He family's dog legs still wanted to tease her! It's okay now, I watched the door she entered. β
