Xu Shengzheng was telling about being attacked by a gunman, and the monkey slapped his head and said: "I remember, the person I saw on the street just now was the Japanese gunman who had my arms cut off in Xianghukou Town that night." ”

Zhu Qing and Xu Sheng were surprised when they heard this, the gunman had no arms and became disabled, what were they still doing here?

Implicit in the book. Last year, the gunman had his arms cut off by the monkey, and when the monkey saw that he could no longer shoot and became a cripple, he could not bear to kill him, so he kicked him off the roof.

Later, the gunman named Sakata was treated and escaped alive. After returning to Japan, Sakata was unwilling to be defeated and was determined to take revenge. More than twenty samurai were gathered, and after a year of arduous training, these samurai's martial arts marksmanship had reached an extremely high level.

Under the blow of the Special Committee of the Eighth Route Army, especially the monkey Zhuqing, the Black Dragon Society reduced a large number of troops, so it recruited troops from home. So Sakata took his Sakata team and crossed the ocean and came to China again.

Explain it.

The monkey suddenly remembered that Xu Sheng settled in this hotel, is the boss reliable?

Xu Sheng said: "Completely reliable. The owner of this hotel is Zhu Yang, and it is a secret contact point of the Yishui County Party Committee. The Yishui County Party Committee is also under the leadership of the Northwest Travel Agency, and when I was on a mission here before, I also settled at the Zhuyang Inn many times. ”

The monkey said: "That's good, if our action can be supported by the Yishui County Party Committee, the certainty of success will be greater."

Xu Sheng said: "We now have to find out whether the one who controlled and blocked the Qin family's compound was the group of people named Bantian you mentioned. ”

The monkey said: "What's more important is to know how far this group of people is from Kawashima, if Kawashima is also in the Qin family's compound, we must not let him run away this time." ”

Zhu Qing said: "Brother Monkey, Brother Xu, we are mainly investigating the situation, and we will not fight with them unless we have to." ”

Xu Sheng said: "This one said by the Zhuqing girl is very important, Kawashima is an old fox, once they find out that someone here is following and monitoring them, they will sneak away." ”

The monkey said, "Otherwise, we will not go out during the day, and then go out at night to reconnoitre." ”

Xu Sheng said: "I look at this, let me say to Boss Zhu Yang, Brother Monkey, you go to the front to be a runner, and by the way, you can observe the situation on the street." Sister Zhuqing, you go to the kitchen to help cook, and you can respond at any time if there is a situation. I still do liaison work. ”

The monkey said, "That's the best arrangement." Let's change our outfit now. ”

Xu Sheng said, I'll inform Boss Zhu to come. With that, he stood up and pulled a thin rope behind the door. It's a very ingenious little mechanism, and as soon as you pull the rope here, you will hear a soft sound of wooden planks falling to the ground in the store, and you will know that something is going on here.

Boss Zhu Yang was taking care of the business in the store, suddenly heard the sound of wooden boards, hurriedly came to the back, as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help but be stunned, there were two strangers sitting in the house, one was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old country boy, and the other was a village woman in her forties.

Zhu Yang looked at Xu Sheng: "Old Xu, these two are-"

Xu Sheng said: "Boss Zhu, you don't know your relatives when they get home. This is your distant cousin named Zhu Qing, and this is your nephew Fang Xiaosan. ”

Zhu Yangyun was confused, a thin old man and a somewhat stupid-looking man came in just now, how could there be a cousin and a nephew?

Looking at Zhu Yang's confused face, Xu Sheng and Monkey Zhuqing couldn't help laughing.

Xu Sheng said: "The old man just now was fake, and your cousin and nephew are also fake." ”

Zhu Yang said: "What's going on? ”

Xu Sheng said: "It's all needed for work, and I have to make up my makeup. ”

Zhu Yang said: "Can you see what they look like?" ”

Xu Sheng said: "What's so difficult about this. Brother, let Boss Zhu take a look. ”

The monkey and Zhuqing wiped their faces and showed their original appearance. Zhu Yang looked at the monkey and said, "Let me guess, thin, less than twenty years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, medium stature, well, you are the monkey in everyone's legend, right?" What about this one? It should be Zhuqing. Right? ”

The monkey said, "Uncle, I am your nephew." ”

Zhu Qing said: "Brother, you don't know me anymore? ”

Several people laughed as they spoke.

Zhu Yang said: "Okay, okay!" Say, what's the matter? ”

Xu Sheng said the words of the monkey as a running hall and Zhuqing's help cook.

Zhu Yang said: "This is easy to do. It turned out that the store did invite a relative to help, because the business in the store was not good, and it was close to farming, and the relative went back. Now there are monkeys to help, and it happens to be inconspicuous. ”

Xu Sheng said: "Okay, that's it." ”

Zhu Yang gave a simple training to the monkey, teaching him how to welcome and send off guests and how to serve food. Fortunately, in the rural market town hotel, there are not too many rules. That's it. The monkey is officially on duty. Zhu Qing went to the kitchen to pick and wash vegetables.

At the time of the war, all industries withered, Zhu Yang's small inn business was light, and there were few customers a day. The monkey wore an apron and a towel over his shoulder. Sit in front of the store and watch the people come and go.

Occasionally, there were one or two customers, and the monkey hurriedly welcomed him into the store, wiping the table and wiping the bench, while asking, "What do you two eat?" ”

As soon as the guests discussed and ordered a few dishes, the monkey shouted to the back kitchen: "Fried pork liver with green onions, sweet and spicy fat intestines, vinegar, green vegetables, two taels of white wine, and two bowls of white rice to take——"

Zhu Yang hid to the side and laughed secretly: "This monkey is really like that!" ”

Unexpectedly, it was getting late, and the store closed early. Monkey Zhuqing returned to the back. Finish dinner. The monkey said, "Brother Xu, it's not convenient for you for the time being, let's rest in the store first, and Zhuqing and I will check it out first." ”

After the watch, the monkey and Zhuqing climbed out of the courtyard wall of the inn and came to the street. Due to bad business, most of the shops closed their doors, and the streets were only passed by by occasional people, and then there was silence.

The monkey and the bamboo green walked north along the street. Suddenly, Zhu Qing said in silent listening: "Brother Monkey, have you seen the homeless man under the east wall of the street?" ”

The monkey said, "See." He's rummaging through his rags. ”

Zhuqing said: "He's not a bum, he's pretending." ”

The monkey said, "Oh, where do you see that he is pretending?" ”

Zhu Qing said: "It's not to see it, it's to hear it." This person's breathing is even and slender and long, and he cannot breathe like this without deep internal strength. ”

When the monkey heard this, he said, "Sister, you are right, it is true. I'm always so careless that I don't pay attention to this. ”

Zhu Qing said: "You are a man, it is easy to ignore this kind of thing. ”

The monkey said, "He's watching us." Whoever goes north, he pays special attention. ”

Zhuqing said: "We don't let him pay attention, we go east." ”

The monkey said, "Yes, let's go east, out of the town, and then go around to the Qin family compound. ”

There was an east-west street in front of them, and as soon as the monkey and the bamboo green turned, they headed east out of the town.

In front of them was an endless field of crops, and after walking out of a distance, the two were about to turn north, and Zhu Qing said, "Brother, squat down, there is someone in front!" ”

I saw a black shadow flying towards the two of them.
