Sun Yumin took Liu Wenzhi and met with the old village chief and several elders of Yangshupu Village in this house with blue bricks and gray tiles.

The little girl was rarely well-behaved, and she actually served tea to a few of them, and then stood quietly beside them.

Sun Yumin knew that there was something wrong with this little girl, but he still didn't drive her away, anyway, it was not an unsightly thing, and it was good to let her learn more.

"Elder Yang, please come over here, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"Boss, don't say that, what to discuss or not, everyone believes in you, you just make a decision."

"Elder Yang, you can't say that. I am a foreigner, fortunately the villagers took me in, and it is too late to be grateful, how dare I do anything privately. ”

When the little girl heard this, she burst out laughing, and when she realized her gaffe, she immediately turned around and was still laughing secretly. She already knew about the reconstruction from the stupid bear's mouth, and she was also clear about the tasks of Dai Cunxiang and Dong Wenbin. It's all arranged, but she still puts on a gesture of discussion, telling how she can hold back her laughter.

The old village chief, and even the villagers of the whole poplar shop, are very kind and tolerant of the little girl, every time they see her driving the dogs and chickens in the village to run around, they don't blame her, but they all take out something delicious and fun to entertain her. Everyone knows that she is the only sister of the owner, and they also know that she is playful by nature, but she is very good. So she snickered on the side, and did not make a few old people angry, but turned to comfort Sun Yumin, who was slightly angry: "Dongjia, Miss Yuying is at the age of playfulness, you can't help her nature." ”

Sun Yumin wanted to teach her a few words, but she was gagged by the old village chief's words, so she had to endure it and said with a smile: "The housemate has caused trouble to the villagers these days. ”

"Where, where." The old village chief hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Miss Yuying is beautiful and has a good heart, I don't know who has this blessing in the future, and if I can marry him home, it can be regarded as his family is the ancestral tomb is smoking!" ”

The little girl was embarrassed to hear this, and pushed Sun Yumin twice, which made him very embarrassed and busy diverting the topic.

"Elder Yang, I came to you today, mainly to discuss the reconstruction of our poplar shop."

Sun Yumin's words almost shocked the old village chief and butcher Yang Dong to fall off the chair.

"Boss, forgive the old man, what did you just say?"

Rebuilding the whole village is something they never dared to imagine, the manpower and material resources involved are not a small amount, if Sun Yumin talked about reconstruction when he came to Yangshupu, the old village chief they must have thought that this person was crazy, but after experiencing sending land and food to send materials, and even the grain harvested these days, this new owner actually didn't want half a grain, and all these things made Sun Yumin's image high in the minds of the villagers, and no one would question any of his decisions. Now he said that the rebuilding of the village was such a big thing that the old village chief and a few of them, who were not prepared in the slightest, could hardly believe their ears.

"Elder Yang, I didn't want to touch everyone's ancestral business, but at this time, if you don't rebuild the village, don't take some precautions. Not to mention the devils of Lu'an or Huoshan, that is, Wang Degui's militia, or the bandits living in Biandanshi, we can't resist, all the villagers will become dolls in people's hands, fat in their mouths. Sun Yumin thought that these old people did not agree with the reconstruction, and explained a lot, for fear that they would oppose it, and who would have thought that people were just shocked.

"Boss, you mean to help the villagers build houses, right?" The butcher Yang Dong reacted first, he was a rough man, and he couldn't say this kind of crepe word to rebuild, anyway, in his understanding, this owner wanted to help him and his fellow villagers build a house.

"That's what it means." Sun Yumin said: "If we don't prepare, like the grain harvested these days, like the things distributed to everyone, sooner or later people will be swept away." ”

"The owner, we ordinary people don't understand the big truths you said, but at least the villagers know that the owner is really good to everyone. Moreover, rebuilding the village is not a trivial matter, it is a great good deed that benefits the present and future generations. The old village chief was excited when he said these words, he was a lot older, and he could be regarded as having read countless people, but he had never seen a person like Sun Yumin who did not want to reciprocate at all, and at this moment he had already spoken no matter how many times. If this thing is really done, it will not only be a great thing for the whole village, but also benefit the surrounding area, and it will be regarded as a good reputation for itself.

"Did those former sorrows agree?" Sun Yumin had a smile on his face.

"Agreed, agreed. If we don't agree, then we are afraid that several of our ancestral graves will be dug up by the villagers. Uncle Yang Dong was very excited, and when he saw Sun Yumin's very serious appearance, he immediately made another request: "Dongjia, except for the daughter-in-law who married in our Yangshupu and the son-in-law who recruited the door, they are all surnamed Yang." There are nearly 100 households in the village but there is no decent ancestral hall, can you help build a ancestral hall by the way when rebuilding the village this time, and it will not be in vain for the ancestors to accumulate virtue, so that today's owner will benefit the neighbors. ”

Sun Yumin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the old man's promise, he was so worried that these old men would stick to the rules and unwilling to tear down the old village. The request to build an ancestral hall is not excessive, if you really want to completely subdue the hearts of the poplar shop villagers, this matter must be done.

"Old Yang, do you also have the same opinion as Uncle Yang?" Sun Yumin politely asked the old village chief. Unexpectedly, the old man burst into tears, choked up and said, "Agree, agree!" Owner, you are really sent by God to benefit the poplar shop. ”

Now that the rebuilding of the village had been agreed, the other miscellaneous details about how the village was planned, how it was built, how each family was made, the accommodation of the villagers who demolished the houses, and the assignment of the daily cooks and cooks were left to Liu Wenzhi and Uncle Yang Dong to discuss.

After Sun Yumin took the little girl to send the old village chief out of the door, he hurriedly asked people to find Deng Dongping, Silly Xiong and Lin Yuanping, and he was in such a hurry to call the three of them, because he suddenly thought of a serious problem: such a large-scale construction made some jealous people or forces slander, and with the current strength of Yangshupu, it was impossible to resist at all.

When the stupid bear was called back, he was covered in dirt, and he didn't know which family he was helping to do. As soon as he entered the house, he was shouting: "Don't let me do that kind of immoral thing that thunders and thunders from the sky, no matter how nice it is, I won't go." ”

Sun Yumin frowned slightly, picked up the pretending crutch in his hand, and knocked it on him.

"I let the thunder strike, and the first one to pull you back."

Hearing the slight anger in Sun Yumin's words, the stupid bear immediately became honest and hurriedly patted his ass: "Others must be thundering and thundering, boss, you must be doing the right thing for heaven." ”

Deng Dongping and the others were all amused by this and teased him one after another.

"Alright, let's get down to business." Sun Yumin smiled and said, "There is something that needs to be done by a few of you." ”

"Boss, it's good to have something to order!" The stupid bear couldn't wait to go out to herd the sheep, so he immediately stood up again, for fear that Sun Yumin would change his mind because of what he said just now, so he hurriedly expressed his position.

"We need a batch of weapons and ammunition here, this piece was easy for us before, but now it is difficult, I think there are only two ways to get guns, one is to buy them on the black market, and the other is to go and transport the money to Shanxi to take over the batch of weapons."

Sun Yumin took a sip of tea and continued: "If we go to the black market to buy, it will be difficult for us to find a way, and even if we are lucky enough to find it, we will not have extra money to buy, so this road is actually useless." It is also unrealistic to go to Shanxi to bring the money into the hidden weapons, the journey is too far, not to mention passing through the enemy-occupied area, the bandits and robbers along the way will overwhelm us, so this road will not work. ”

"Boss, since neither path works, where are we going to get weapons and ammunition?" Deng Dongping asked.

"Borrow! Rob! Sun Yumin threw out two words.

"Borrow? Rob? "Deng Dongping, they are confused." Who to borrow? Where to borrow? Who are you looking for to rob? If you can borrow it, why grab it? And we don't have the capital to rob it, the brothers have nothing but short guns. ”

"Wuhan!" Sun Yumin said the name of the place that several of them had never thought of. Everyone just ran out of there, and now they have to go back there, which is somewhat unpleasant. And the devil is attacking Wuhan in two directions, and now it seems that there is really something wrong with going to that place.

"Why do you all look at me like this and don't know me?" Sun Yumin felt everyone's strange eyes, and his heart was happy, didn't he just go to Wuhan? As for being so timid.

"Boss, can you bring it out when you go to Wuhan to get guns and bullets? Moreover, I really can't think of anyone to borrow, Mr. Chen, they have already gone to Chongqing, and when they left from Jiangxi, they let Huzi fake the news of your death, if you show up, I'm afraid it will cause trouble. Deng Dongping was more thoughtful than stupid bears and half-devils, and the words he said and the questions he asked were to the point.

"You're right, it's really difficult, but in order to save a lot of unnecessary trouble in the future, this trip to Wuhan is imperative." Sun Yumin didn't let them have any room for opposition, and directly said that this was already something he had decided. "The three of you go to prepare your luggage, and the girl will follow this time, hand over the money to Wenzhi for safekeeping, and leave early tomorrow morning."

Deng Dongping saw that he had already said it to death, so he didn't object anymore, so he had to drag the stupid bear and the half-devil to prepare.

"Girl, you go and inform Xiao Song, let the five of them draw out two people, and go to find Qian Jin, he is still on Huzi's side. If my expectation is correct, the 20th Division should be in the Huangshi area now, let them find it, tell Huzi and Qian to enter this place, when they don't want to stay in the army, they can come and settle down at any time. The little Song he said was the five little ghosts brought down from the position by Liu Tou, the elder of the cooking squad of the second battalion, in Guanghua Gate in Nanjing. Later, under the leadership of Qian Jin, he followed the Guangdong army to highlight the blockade line of the Japanese army from the front, and he also learned a lot from Qian Jin for more than a year, and gradually became able to take charge of himself. It's just that yesterday, he had already arranged for Xiao Song to take four other people to help Dong Wenbin, and now he has changed his order every day, which doesn't seem to be appropriate.

…………

Zhou Shanjun was carefully sharpening the boning knife of unknown material on a whetstone, the small knife body was glowing with silver light, especially the light emitted by the blade was cold and cold, which made people feel terrified.

Suddenly there was a sound of people tiptoeing behind him, and he pretended to pick up a knife to watch, and the image of a person reflected on the blade of the knife was a person he didn't want to see.

Zhou Shanjun smiled bitterly, as if he didn't know that someone was coming, he washed the knife with water, took the towel at hand, and wiped the sharp knife clean.

The little girl couldn't help laughing, quietly walked behind Zhou Shanjun, who was concentrating on sharpening the knife, and reached out to cover his eyes. But when he stretched out his hand, he found that he suddenly stood up, and walked out of the door without looking back, as if he didn't know that there was a woman behind him, so angry that the little girl kicked the whetstone away, and she was holding her painful toes, sulking.

This scene was completely seen by Dai Cunxiang, he shook his head and sighed: "The concubine is intentional, Lang is ruthless!" ”

Early the next morning, Dai Cunxiang led Zhou Shanjun, Xiaoshanzi and five other brothers out of the door, and the target was Anqing.

In order to facilitate their errands, Sun Yumin specially asked Uncle Yang Dong to find a young and strong young man from the village to accompany them to Anqing. This young man's name is Yang Dazhi, and Dai Cunxiang, who is a little educated, jokingly calls him "the blue-faced beast".

The journey was smooth and smooth, and everyone was happy, but Zhou Shanjun seemed to be preoccupied all the way, and others thought it was very strange, only Dai Cunxiang knew that he was struggling with the little girl's wishful thinking.

It took only three days for the group to arrive at Anqing, the capital of Anhui during the Republic of China.

But they ran in vain, and in early May, the provincial girls' public school where Wang Degui's daughter studied had moved to Lihuang (now Jinzhai, Anhui) with the provincial capital.

Dai Cunxiang was very depressed, the hundreds of kilometers of travel was not for fun, full of anger and depression, and finally vented to a few devils who were bullying the people near the public school.

The common people have always been obedient, how could they have seen someone dare to fight with the devil with their bare hands, and when they saw Zhou Shanjun and Xiao Shanzi killing those devil soldiers on the street like slaughtering dogs, they all flashed clean all at once, for fear of causing trouble.

When they set off, they didn't bring weapons except for some money, and after killing these devils, Xiao Shanzi and the other brothers were about to pick up guns, but they were stopped by Dai Cunxiang: "Do you want to expose yourself?" ”

In the city that has been occupied for two months, several soldiers were killed in broad daylight, which shocked the Japanese commander in the city, and immediately closed the city, after a few days of tossing, he sent a lewd threat to the people, and after killing a few innocent people, this matter was also over, but Dai Cunxiang and Zhou Shanjun were trapped in the city for several days, and they did not dare to leave immediately after the ban was lifted, for fear that it was a trap set by the devil, and they stayed for a few days before sneaking out of this place where they overturned in the gutter.
