The monkey said: "Our water brigade is a little awkward, why don't we call it Xianghu brigade, what do you think?" "Everybody said yes. As a result, the team was officially named the Xianghu Area Anti-Japanese Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, referred to as the Xianghu Brigade.

Only the monkeys and Zhuqing Huayang are literate in the brigade. Zhuqing counted the ocean donated by Huayang in public, recorded it in the file, and established an account book. It can be regarded as the beginning of the financial work of the brigade. The ocean has bamboo green for safekeeping.

The monkey said, "Brother Wei, what should we do next?" ”

Boss Wei said: "Leave Tian Bao here and wait for Huayang." The rest of the people went back to Sanxing Island, tidied up a little, and then returned to Aojia Winery, where food and accommodation are more convenient. Wait until the corpses of the devils on the shore are cleaned up, and then return to the island for a long time. ”

The monkey said, "I agree to this arrangement." ”

So the six of them took three small boats and returned to Sanxing Island.

After the war, Sanxing Island was dead silent. There are corpses of devils lying all over the island. Because dozens of grenades exploded, many items in each room were damaged. As far as the eye can see, hundreds of acres of fertile land on the island are barren.

A lot to do.

There is still a lot of hard work to be done to build this into a base for anti-Japanese armed forces.

Several people carried the corpses of a dozen devils onto a small boat, transported them several miles away, and scattered them into the lake. It won't be long before the fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs in the lake will wipe them out. It was another lake of clean clear water.

Due to the limited explosive power of the grenade, all the houses are brick and tile mechanisms, and they are all tall and sturdy, and the damage is not too serious and can be used with minor repairs.

Furniture that has been blown up can be repaired for a later date. The daily necessities left by the devil can be used after being sorted out.

The devil's stock of food is not much, but there is no problem for a few people to eat it for a few months. The most serious problem on the island is firewood and grass, and although the lake is full of dry reeds, it takes a lot of labor to harvest. And it must be hurried, because this year's new reeds cannot be harvested once they have grown taller.

In order for the Xianghu Brigade to develop and grow, grain and grass are a big problem. These fields that can be cultivated, although they can grow crops, but that requires a lot of manpower.

The Xianghu Brigade is an army, the main task is to fight devils, and the logistics support depends on production and capture, and it is no longer possible to solve the problem of eating by eating large households like the previous gangs.

Monkey and Boss Wei discussed these issues while working. By noon, there were no more corpses of devils on the island, and the rooms had been sorted out and ready to move in.

The monkey found a wooden plank, and it happened that the devil had left pen and ink behind. The monkey wrote a few big characters on the wooden board: The Xianghu Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is stationed. Place the wooden sign in the most conspicuous place on the island.

The monkey said, "This place is ours." ”

Boss Wei said: "It is still necessary to set up this sign, otherwise when we return to the island, there will be people here to occupy it, and it will add a lot of trouble." ”

Several people returned to the shore of the lake in small boats.

Huayang is really capable. At this time, a group of villagers had already arrived at the lake with shovels. There was not much time, and Huayang brought a group of people to the lake again.

Huayang said that there were no people in the surrounding villages, and I ran 20 miles to find these people, a total of 38. The monkey said, "Brother, you have done a good job. Let's get together for a moment, and I'll start with a few words. ”

Huayang shouted: "Come here, don't you want to see the monkey and Zhuqing?" This is the monkey, and this is the bamboo green. ”

The group of villagers ran over with a "hula" and surrounded the monkeys and Zhuqing. A burly man said, "Brother, I don't think you are as energetic as me, where do you have such great ability?" ”

The one next to him said, "You must have a bigger meal than a monkey." ”

Another said, "He can eat a bucket of rice in one meal." ”

Everyone laughed happily: "Otherwise, how can it be called a rice bucket?" ”

The monkey said, "Old and young masters, my monkey is your younger brother, and the older one, I am your junior." I don't have any skills, all I have is hatred for devils. My father was killed by devils, my eldest brother was killed by devils, and our Fang family was killed by devils for thirty-five people. ”

Everyone was quiet.

The monkey said: "After two years of the Anti-Japanese War, I realized a truth, for the devil, if you are afraid of him, he will kill you, if you are not afraid of him, he will still kill you." Actually, there is nothing to be afraid of devils. See, aren't these devils eliminated by us? ”

A villager said, "Brother Monkey, if only we had your ability, we can also fight devils." ”

The monkey said: "No matter how great one person's ability is, it is useless, everyone unites, and our strength will be great, and we will be able to drive the devil away." ”

"Now let's get down to business, everyone has seen it, there are corpses of devils everywhere here, and there are so many in the Wujiaji town in front. If these corpses are not disposed of quickly, no one will dare to come here, no one will be able to live in the town, and thousands of ordinary people will be left homeless.

There are nearly forty of us, and the devils have more than four hundred corpses, and each person has to dispose of more than ten corpses. If five to six bodies are buried in a pit, two pits are dug for each person.

After today, the corpses by the lake will be disposed of, and the corpses of Wu Jiaji will be disposed of by noon tomorrow, and each person will receive a piece of the ocean. Do you think it's okay? ”

Someone said, "The money given by the argument is not small." We do it. But don't let us do the work and say, 'I don't have any money for the time being, I'll give it later.'" ”

Huayang said: "This worry is superfluous, have you heard of monkeys beating devils, have you ever heard of monkeys defaulting on debts?" ”

The monkey said, "I'm doing this on behalf of the Eighth Route Army." I'm not going to lose the face of the Eighth Route Army. ”

They said, "We believe in you, and we have done this work." ”

The monkey said, "Pay attention to three points. The corpse must be more than a foot deep from the ground to ensure that the tip of the plough does not cut the plow. The second point is to take off the backpack on the devil and send it to the lake. The last is: "The devil is dead, the hatred is gone, everyone should be dignified when working, don't be frivolous." Still have questions? ”

Everyone said, "Finally, we will obey you." Got to work. ”

At noon the next day, the last body was buried in the ground. From Wujiaji to Xianghudang, the traces left by the battle were completely eliminated.

Boss Wei took out all the wine from Ao Family Winery, and everyone drank the pickles they brought.

Zhuqing took out the ocean and distributed one piece to each person.

This is a job that ordinary people are unwilling to do, and it is very hard to do. But when a piece of the ocean arrives, my heart is still warm. That little money, pocket expenses are enough for half a year.

The monkey said, "Everyone has taken the money, don't leave yet, I still have something to say to you." ”

Everyone gathered again: "What's the good thing?" ”

The monkey said, "It's not a good thing, I just want to work hard for everyone." ”

Everyone said, "You're welcome, you can talk about something." ”

The monkey said, "Do you see the reeds in this lake?" It's everywhere, and now our Eighth Route Army wants to buy a batch of reeds, and the brothers are willing to help, you can go down to the lake to cut the reeds, cut 400 catties a day, and after cutting for three days, each person can also receive a piece of the ocean. Are you willing to do it? ”

"Yes!"
