Chapter 22: Everyday Doubt
"Gaojiazhuang has arrived."
After Xi Chen and the others hurried for a while, looking at the village in front of them, Gao Qiang shouted with some excitement.
Before Gao Qiang got close to the village, he shouted outside: "I'm back, I'm back......"
After Gao Qiang shouted twice, a person suddenly jumped out, still carrying a gun, and it seemed that it was made by Hanyang.
In the era of warlord scuffle, until the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Hanyang-made has always been one of the main weapons.
Although it is two generations behind the official and one generation behind the 38 rifle that Xi Chen is now carrying, it is still a strong and reliable rifle.
Xi Chen and Gao Qiang's puppet army clothes have long been taken off, otherwise this person would have looked like a sentry just now.
If they had come running with their clothes on, they would have been attacked.
"Brother Gao Qiang, Brother Gao Qiang, you're back, I thought I'd never see you again."
A young man who was about the same age as Xi Chen ran out, looking at Gao Qiang, excited and excited.
"I'm not coming back." Gao Qiang came back to Gaojiazhuang, and he was also happy.
"Brother Gao Qiang, are you injured?" This person saw that Gao Qiang's mobility was impaired.
"It doesn't matter." Compared with being injured and coming back, Gao Qiang certainly wants to come back.
After this person saw Gao Qiang's excitement, he saw Xi Chen, Wang Erni and others, and Gao Qiang said, "Let's go back and talk about it." ”
"Okay, I'll go and inform Uncle Zhong and Brother Chuanbao, they're worried about you." The young man was in a hurry, and when he had finished speaking, he ran away and went to the village to shout.
Xi Chen followed Gao Qiang into Gaojiazhuang, and after entering, Xi Chen finally understood why this was Red Fortress Village.
Because on the wall in this village, there is still a word written to defeat the Japanese invaders, which is rare nowadays.
Before Xi Chen could take a closer look, he saw a group of people rushing over.
"Gao Qiang." A man ran up and hugged Gao Qiang, excited to no avail.
"I'm back." Gao Qiang's words were also moving, because several times, he thought that he would not come back.
"Old Uncle Zhong." Gao Qiang shouted to an older man in the back.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Old Uncle Zhong was equally excited to see Gao Qiang coming back.
It seems that the people in this village are very united, and everyone is very happy when Gao Qiang is back now.
However, they also looked at Wang Erni and Xi Chen, Gao Qiang hurriedly explained when he saw this, and told him what he had encountered and what Xi Chen had saved them.
"Brother Xi Chen, thank you for saving Gao Qiang, my name is Gao Chuanbao, I am the captain of the Gaojiazhuang Anti-Japanese Pioneers, you will also join the Anti-Japanese Pioneers in the future, and we will fight devils together." Gao Chuanbao said with a big grin.
Xi Chen said hello to Gao Chuanbao, but he didn't expect that there was an anti-Japanese vanguard here in Gaojiazhuang, which was the militia organization that Gao Qiang said.
Gao Chuanbao welcomed Xi Chen very much, but Old Uncle Zhong was a little drumming in his heart.
Gao Qiang was trapped in the county seat, and the Japanese wanted to arrest him, but someone happened to save him.
not only rescued him from the county seat, but also rescued him from the Black Wind Outlet Turret, Old Uncle Zhong is a little older, and he thinks a little more.
"This ......"
"Old Uncle Zhong, you can just call me Xi Chen." Xi Chen said to Old Uncle Zhong.
"How do you save people, I don't think you look like you're from here." Old Uncle Zhong's question, Xi Chen felt a trace of suspicion.
Xi Chen also expressed his understanding that this kind of world, it is not okay to be careless.
But Xi Chen has a way, Xi Chen said: "Uncle Zhong, I know you don't believe it, I think it may be a scene directed and acted by me and the devil." ”
"I sent Gao Qiang back, it may have been planned, but I killed two puppet soldiers on the way, and the bodies were placed in the ditch at the east end of the village in that pro-Japanese village, you can let people inquire about it."
Xi Chen also made it clear directly, he knew that Old Uncle Zhong doubted himself, and he had to dispel Old Uncle Zhong's suspicions, otherwise he would not be able to integrate into Gaojiazhuang.
Gao Chuanbao and Gao Qiang both understood and knew what Xi Chen meant.
Wang Sanjin understood, and shouted in the back: "Brother Xi Chen is not a devil's person, he saw me first, how could he know that my sister met Brother Gao Qiang in the county, I don't know." ”
Seeing Wang Sanjin at this time, still speaking for himself, Xi Chen touched Wang Sanjin's head.
Wang Sanjin gave Xi Chen a brotherly look, this kid was on Xi Chen's side anyway, because Xi Chen helped him find his sister.
Gao Qiang came to Old Uncle Zhong and whispered, "There should be no problem." ”
"Be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship, Chuanbao, you send someone to see if there are any corpses of the puppet army." Old Uncle Zhong said to Gao Chuanbao.
Gao Chuanbao glanced at Xi Chen, whispered a few words to a person behind him, and this person left.
After that, Gao Chuanbao came to Xi Chen's side and said, "Brother Xi Chen, I'm tired all the way, I'll help you get it." ”
Xi Chen knew that Gao Chuanbao wanted to unload his gun.
It is better to come in such a false way, than to come in a real way.
Xi Chen took down the gun directly on his body, and Xi Chen's action of holding the gun made everyone here nervous.
"I know what you mean, I really came to follow you to fight devils, I can show my sincerity, and I can give you a gun."
Xi Chen handed the gun in his hand to Gao Chuanbao, and after Gao Chuanbao caught it, he carried it on his back.
"You be careful, I understand, but I think I can prove myself." Xi Chen was very confident, because the body was really there, and they sent someone to find it, and they would definitely find it.
Old Uncle Zhong came up and said with a smile: "It's serious, it's a family when you come, you're all tired, go in and eat." ”
Although he said that he went to eat, Gao Chuanbao always followed Xi Chen with a few people.
And Xi Chen can also see that he does not have the right to move freely now, and he can only have it after they confirm his identity.
But Xi Chen doesn't care, as long as he has food.
Gaojiazhuang was swept by the Japanese army several times, but there was still food to eat, although it was not good, but it was full.
Xi Chen was not polite, he ate two large bowls, and after his strength increased, Xi Chen found that his meal volume had also increased.
After eating two bowls, Xi Chen said with some embarrassment: "Can you still have a bowl?" ”
The little girl who served Xi Chen a meal couldn't help laughing, covered her mouth, and looked at Old Uncle Zhong.
Old Uncle Zhong said, "Serve another bowl." ”
The little girl took Xi Chen's rice bowl away, and Xi Chen said embarrassedly: "That, I'm sorry, I ate a little too much." ”
The more he ate, the less suspicious Uncle Zhong was in his heart.
If it is someone sent by the puppet army and the devil, it is all fragrant and spicy, and usually these meals are not eye-catching, how can they eat so much.
"When you're done eating, just rest in the house for a while." After Old Uncle Zhong and Gao Chuanbao said these words, they went out of the room, and Xi Chen knew that he was locked up here.
After going out, Gao Qiang said a little unhappily: "I called Brother Xi Chen, you are treating him like this now, how do I behave?" ”
Old Uncle Zhong glared at Gao Qiang, and Gao Qiang didn't dare to shout and scream.
