Xiao Yifei and the leader of the beggar gang were hugged by nearly 100 bandits at the gate of the cottage, and they all knelt at the gate of the village, shouting loudly: "Respectfully the big boss, go back to the palace and ascend to the throne!" ”

Xiao Yifei said loudly: "The cottage hides the dragon and the crouching tiger, there must be a lot of talented people, why do you have to ask me to be the owner of the village?" How can I be the owner of the village? You'd better choose someone more suitable than me to be the owner of the village! ”

The third master was a showman, he walked to Xiao Yifei and knelt down, and said loudly: "According to Article 10 of the covenant, the last words of the former owner of the village must be unconditionally implemented, and the last words of the former owner of the village are to support you as the owner of the village, and there are more than a dozen brothers in the hall at that time who all heard it with their own ears. I implore you not to shirk, the cottage cannot be left without an owner for a day. I invite you to return to the temple and accept the bow of your brothers! ”

It's okay to pretend to prevaricate, and then it will look fake. Xiao Yifei has already thought about it, why can't he be the owner of the village? The battalion commander gave him the right to dispose of it randomly! When he became the master of the game, the entire cottage could be transformed into an anti-Japanese force, and after the battalion commander came, he could incorporate the entire cottage into the New Fourth Army. There are no Japanese invaders in the vast area between Changdang Lake and Zhuhu Lake, and the strength of the puppet army is also extremely weak, and there are no Japanese invaders in Rulin Town and Huangli Town, and only a small number of puppet troops can control these local regimes by controlling the cottages, laying the most solid foundation for the New Fourth Army to establish a base area.

Xiao Yifei sat on the throne of the main hall, Du Youde and other brothers stood aside to watch the ceremony, dozens of cottage leaders in the hall knelt neatly, and the three masters read out the covenant, explained the last words of the former village owner, took the oath, and the cottage leaders followed the oath. After more than three hours of complicated etiquette and procedures, Xiao Yifei officially became the owner of Qinglong Village.

Next, Xiao Yifei must do two things immediately, one is to organize a funeral for the former owner of the village, Li Rulong, and the other is to deal with the wife and daughter of the former owner Li Rulong.

For the funeral of the former owner of the village, Li Rulong, Xiao Yifei set the tone, and he must have a grand funeral, and all the cottages must wear black gauze.

It is easy to dispose of the wife of the former owner of the village, although it is extremely cruel, Xiao Yifei can't bear it, but he can only do it according to the rules. Because at that time, this was the same method for dealing with stealing men and women in that area, and bandits could not make an exception.

It's just that when dealing with Li Sisi, the daughter of the former owner of the village, Xiao Yifei couldn't do anything. Because Li Sisi is Li Rulong's only bloodline, if he is killed, Li Rulong will be cut off. Li Rulong was dying and said two words, one is not to kill Li Sisi, and the other is to ask the bandits to support Xiao Yifei as the owner of the village.

Xiao Yifei was in the reception room and asked several main leaders of the cottage to discuss the handling of Li Sisi. The guerrillas, including Die'er and Xue Shiyu, did not participate. Because this is an internal affair of the cottage, they are outsiders and cannot participate.

Xiao Yifei looked at everyone and sighed and said: "Li Sisi killed his father, violated the rules of heaven, and the village rules and regulations and the township rules and people's covenants must be executed." ”

All the bosses nodded.

Xiao Yi sighed and said: "Li Sisi is the only bloodline of the former village owner, and before the former village owner died, he said not to kill her. ”

The third master looked at Xiao Yifei and whispered: "She is the murderer who killed the owner of the village, Li Sisi does not kill, it is inconsistent with the rules and regulations of the village, and the sky lantern must be lit according to the rules." ”

Xiao Yifei's heart twitched, grass and mud horse, this kind of punishment is too cruel. Xiao Yifei had heard of the torture of lighting a sky lantern, and he would get goosebumps all over his body just thinking about it.

During the execution, the clothes of the male and female prisoners or enemies should be stripped of themselves, and then the prisoners should be smeared with flammable grease, sulfur and other flammable materials. While the prisoners were being tortured, the executioners began to wrap the naked bodies of the male and female prisoners in extremely flammable linen. Only the head of the prisoner is exposed, and the living person is then placed in an oil tank for soaking. In the evening, after dark, the torturers called the crowd to watch, and then fished out the oil-soaked living man from the oil tank and hung it on a very high wooden stake. After beating and insulting the prisoner, the torturer sets the prisoner on fire with a torch.

Xiao Yifei remembered that Li Sisi, a young and beautiful girl dressed in tight black, was about to order a sky lantern, and he resolutely refused.

Xiao Yifei asked in a low voice: "According to the rules, under what circumstances can Li Sisi be pardoned from death?" ”

The third master sighed and said: "We all watched her grow up, this is when she was in middle school in Changzhou City some time ago, and she rarely saw her." What a lively and lovely little girl she was when she was a child! We all love her. But she broke the rules of heaven and committed a heinous crime. ”

Xiao Yifei nodded and said, "That's it!" Dispose of the old woman first. You should know that Li Sisi is the only bloodline of the owner of the village, and he needs to be filial during the funeral, so let Li Sisi do his filial piety, and deal with it after the funeral of the former owner of the village! ”

The third master nodded and said: "The owner of the village is wise, this decision is very reasonable and reasonable. ”

Xiao Yifei said: "I will talk to her in person later, so that she will not make trouble, and she must be warned." ”

After the main leader of the cottage left to do his errands, the guerrillas all came in. Die'er sat next to Xiao Yifei, holding Xiao Yifei's hand, and watching Xiao Yifei smile so happily.

Xiao Yifei looked at Die'er's eyes, sighed and said, "Li Sisi and Xue Shiyu are the same age, they are both equally beautiful, and they have both studied in the city. ”

Xue Shiyu asked, "What is the cottage going to do with her?" ”

Xiao Yifei sighed and said, "Light the sky lantern!" ”

Yes?! The crowd screamed!

Anyone who hears of this punishment will be astonished.

Die'er trembled and whispered: "Brother, you are the owner of the village, can't you not let her light the sky lantern?" ”

Xiao Yifei sighed and said: "This is the key thing I discussed with the leaders of the cottage bandits just now, I don't want Li Sisi to light the sky lantern, but the rules are there, I don't know what to do." ”

Die'er whispered, "You can pardon her in the name of the owner of the village." ”

Xiao Yifei shook his head and said, "No! The father is the son, and in ancient times, children killed their parents, no matter what the reason, they had to kill. ”

Xue Shiyu whispered: "Thinking about it, this kind of punishment is too barbaric, can't it be changed to shooting?" ”

Xiao Yifei said: "I asked Li Sisi to participate in the funeral because I wanted to delay the time and make me think of a more humane and appropriate way to deal with it. I will talk to her personally right away, so that she can cooperate during the funeral and not cause trouble. ”

Zhao Zihao, the leader of the beggar gang, whispered: "Big brother, let it be natural!" Being able to control the copycat is the greatest success. ”

Xiao Yifei looked at Zhao Zihao, the leader of the beggar gang, and said with a smile: "The cottage has been won, it's very unexpected to think about it, right?" We were scared before we came, but now we have become the owners of the cottage. ”

The leader of the beggar gang laughed and said, "Everything happened so fast, it felt like a dream." ”

Xiao Yifei said: "The cottage is under control, but I can't stay in the cottage all the time, right?" My task is to serve as a front station for the battalion commander, we can't stay here for a long time, we need to continue to advance east and south, go all the way through five levels and kill six generals, fight the Japanese invaders, eliminate the puppet army, and be a good battalion commander vanguard. ”

Du Youde said: "Yes! You can't be the king of the mountain all the time. You are a member of the people's army, and your mission is very important. ”

Xiao Yifei asked in a low voice: "Who is appropriate to manage the cottage instead of me?" ”

Du Youde shook his head and said, "We don't understand everything in the cottage!" Who is eligible for escrow? Cottage rules must be followed. ”

Xiao Yifei nodded and said, "Take your time!" I'll leave the affairs of the cottage to the leaders, and the next thing we have to think about is guerrilla work. Controlling the cottage is the first step, so that we have a forward base for our activities in this area, and my idea is that we must take Rulin Town and Huangli Town as soon as possible, kill all the puppet troops in these two towns, and eradicate the puppet regime. ”

Everyone nodded.

Xiao Yifei said: "The beggar gang immediately sent people into these two towns and found out the situation in this area. Get ready for us to pack up for a belt of Japanese pseudo-fakes. ”

Zhao Zihao, the leader of the beggar gang, nodded and said, "Yes!" I'll arrange it right away. ”

In the windowless house, Li Sisi sat on the straw floor in a black tights, holding her head and sobbing. She regretted shooting her father Li Rulong, as the saying goes, impulse is the devil, she was dizzy and lost her mind. Killing Li Rulong is a murder of passion, not intentional murder.

Li Sisi doesn't want to die, for her, she is also like all other beautiful girls, she is full of curiosity about the future and has a beautiful vision, but now that she has committed the crime of killing her father, she must light the sky lantern. She knew very well the punishment of the cottage, she was disheartened, she was numb, and she was ready to die.

The door opened, and a strong light shone on Li Sisi's face, Li Sisi raised his eyes, the light fascinated his eyes, a tall man stood at the door, and under the illumination of the light, the black shadow shrouded her entire body.

Standing at the door, of course, Xiao Yifei looked at Li Sisi in the dark shadow, and whispered: "No one can save the crime committed by your mother, you must understand this ideal." ”

Li Sisi shook her head and sobbed.

Xiao Yifei said: "You have committed the crime of killing your father, and no one can save you." ”

Li Sisi nodded.

Xiao Yifei said: "I want to give you the opportunity to fulfill your filial piety, and during the funeral, you can do activities in the mourning hall. ”

Li Sisi's tears lit up, and he whispered: "Thank you to the owner of the village, Longen." ”

Xiao Yifei said: "There are rules in the cottage, and there are rules in the township rules, to be honest, I don't want you to light the sky lantern, or even kill you." After all, you are the only bloodline of the master of Li Rulong's village, and I hope you are alive. If you can think of a way to live, please let me know and I will help you. ”

Li Sisi asked curiously: "If you become the owner of the village, you should kill me, how can you find a way to save me and let me live?" ”

Xiao Yifei smiled and said: "You underestimate me, I am a guerrilla of the New Fourth Army, my task is to fight devils, and my goal is to drive out the little devils who invaded China to the Pacific Ocean and feed Wang Ba." Do you say I want to be the king of the mountain? To be honest with you, I can't stay here for too long, after the devils and puppet soldiers in this area are killed by us, we still need to further develop towards the Grand Canal, and even kill them all the way along the Yangtze River to Wuxi and Suzhou. ”

Li Sisi nodded and said, "So that's the case, no wonder you are carrying so many supplies." Can I use my sinful body to follow you to kill devils? Let me die on the way to kill the devil? ”

Xiao Yifei said: "I'm trying to figure out a way, I hope the cottage brothers will listen to me then." ”
