Ji Jieyu, who was riding on a horse, saw that the villagers were surrounded by the old man with white hair like the stars holding the moon, but he looked very stylish, with a majestic and cold face, and a kingly demeanor, so she asked, "Who is that old man?" Is it Wu Yuanzu, the lord of a village?"

Liu Xingmei and Mei Xiang were both very surprised.

Liu Xingmei asked in surprise: "How do you know?"

"This is the 'Peace Village'?"

"Yes, Sister Jieyu, how do you know?" Mei Xiang asked.

Ji Jieyu said: "In this one hundred and eighty miles away, there is no village that I don't know, but I didn't expect to come here by mistake!" ”

Liu Xingmei said: "He is the head of our village, Wu Yuanzu Wu Old Lady, and he is highly respected. ”

Ji Jieyu hurriedly turned over and jumped off the horse.

Liu Xingmei stepped forward and said calmly: "Old lady, I killed someone, please punish me!" ”

Since she won back the generation lost by her grandfather by winning or losing a game of chess, in front of outsiders, she still respectfully calls Wu Yuanzu the old lady, that is, she has a great favor to the Wu family, but she also does not want to call her "grandpa", for fear of being talked about behind the back of others, and there is a suspicion of high climbing. In addition, after Tao Zhenkun caught the Japanese Inukai Saburo, some people were afraid of causing disaster, and suggested that Tao Zhenkun be handed over to the Japanese for punishment in order to protect herself, which made a pimple in her heart. She shot and killed someone this time, which caused a big disaster, but she will not regret her recklessness. She can also think that the old lady Wu, who has national righteousness, will not hand her over to the Japanese to pay for the lives of the two scum because she is afraid of things.

When people heard her words, they were stunned.

"Why do you kill?" Old lady Wu asked, but set her eyes on Ji Jieyu.

Liu Xingmei said: "There are two imperial armies chasing and killing anti-Japanese fighters, and they want to go to the Japanese master to ask for merit and rewards, the situation is critical, and I have no choice but to shoot." ”

Ji Jieyu saluted the old lady Wu and said: "I am Ji Jieyu, I have long admired the old gentleman's name, the head of a village, a solid family, caring for the poor, and never doing anything rich or unkind." You are old and respectful, and you are admired by us Communists. Today, I panicked because I was chased and killed, but fortunately, Xingmei's sister came to the rescue with courage and courage, so that my little woman's life should not be extinguished. I should say that I brought the disaster here, I'm sorry! If you are worried that this matter will be exposed and endanger the whole village, you can tie me up and hand it over to the Japanese, I have no complaints, but please don't affect Sister Xingmei, this matter has nothing to do with her, it is all caused by me. ”

Old lady Wu twisted her hair and smiled: "Why does the heroine say this, although the old man is old, she is not confused to the point of not distinguishing right from wrong. Although I live in the mountains and have not asked about the world for many years, I have long heard of the prestige of anti-Japanese people, which is admirable. It is precisely because of you, the brave and fearless soldiers who are willing to throw away their heads and spill their blood, to defend the country, maybe this country will have hope of not being destroyed! It is not easy for you, a young woman, to dare to show her face, run around, and fight in the north and south. I am confident that I know the righteousness, how dare I slack off, only respect, how can I do unkind and unrighteous things in order to steal peace, that is to smear the face of my ancestors. In Zhenkun's family, killing the wicked is a good thought, and there is no reason not to save when you see death. Don't say anything, now you take Miss Ji back immediately, and quickly bandage her wounds. It's already happened, I'm afraid it's useless! ”

Liu Xingmei said: "We must send someone to carry the two bodies far away and bury them, and dispose of the blood stains on the bridge without leaving traces." ”

"I'll tell someone to deal with this matter, don't worry!"

Zhu Le felt aggrieved, and squinted at Liu Xingmei with the eyes of a little, and muttered unwillingly: "I really didn't expect that a shrew would dare to shoot and kill people in broad daylight, or two lives, this is worth it!" It's simply lawless, such an indiscriminate careless disregard for human life, heaven is intolerable! If people like this are not strictly controlled, sooner or later they will be stabbed into a catastrophe! ”

Mei Xiang glared at him fiercely and scolded in a low voice: "You know how to say, you know how to be an old girl!" ”

Chang Fa took the lead, he whistled with a wooden knife in his hand, followed by several boys rushing towards the magpie bridge.

There is an old lady Wu who is in charge of the house, he is majestic and calm, and no one dares to say much. Although many people think that this is deliberately biased in favor of Liu Xingmei, when you think about it carefully, what is the use of blaming her for such an earth-shattering event? can only silently accept the rule that it is a blessing or a curse, and let the psychology bear the panic!

This village, which has been almost isolated from the outside world for many years, is no longer calm, since Tao Zhenkun caught a Japanese on the Dragon Bone Mountain, or from Jiao Heng and Hua Rui, two people of unknown origin, who got lost in the mountains and forests and were chased by wolves, they mistakenly broke into the village, and the comfortable life that has been maintained here for many years has gradually been disrupted, and unexpected changes have taken place.

Japanese devils, bandits, female fighters of the Imperial Allied Army and the Anti-Japanese Federation have all come one after another, leaving this "peaceful village" in a state of turmoil. I don't know!

The village seemed very quiet, without Zhu Le's gong sound, some young women and girls first hid, and then came out again when they saw that there was no situation, standing at the door of the house and looking around in panic, I don't know what happened, in short, it was the gunfire that brought anxiety and fear, and when I saw Liu Xingmei and them come back, they finally let go of their hearts.

Liu Xingmei used Ji Jieyu's own healing medicine and wrapped her wound dressing according to the method she said.

"Sister Jieyu, did you come out alone?"

"Sometimes I go together, this time it's just me, and I go to Pingquan County to complete a task assigned by the organization."

"You're part of the revolution, aren't you?"

"Yes!"

"So how many years have you been in the revolution?"

"It's been four years."

"Have you joined the party?"

"The leader is about to approve it."

"You must have read a book, right?"

"Those who graduated from Rehe Normal are members of the Communist Youth League."

"Oh—do you know someone named Tao Zhenzong? He's from our village. ”

"I don't know, I haven't heard of this name, I don't know how many students he is?"

"I don't know about that."

"And what about him now?"

"He studied outside for several years, and the students went on strike and marched, propagating anti-Japanese propaganda, and were suppressed. Two years ago, I heard that most of China was occupied by Japan, and Rehe had already become the pocket of the Japanese. The students could not study with peace of mind, and some of them joined the anti-Japanese army. He dropped out of school and ran back, saying that he wanted to be a soldier to fight devils, but he was stopped by his father and mother, and he was not allowed to go, and now he is a teacher in the village. I saw protests in the county town of Pingquan two years ago. You say that the three eastern provinces have been ruled by Japan for several years, and the entire northeast has formed Manchukuo, what is the point of such blatant resistance? It can only be a fearless sacrifice! ”

"In the period of national collapse and family destruction, what is needed is hot-blooded youth, what is needed is the spirit of not being afraid of death, which can awaken thousands of compatriots to unite and not be slaves to the country, and sometimes the sacrifice is meaningful, which is the hope of restoring a country full of holes. I know about the bloody tragedy that occurred in Pingquan, and although it was organized and commanded, because of the blind and reckless actions of the leaders, it led to a major mistake, resulting in the death of eight people and the arrest and imprisonment of dozens of people, which became a bloody lesson. It was a war against food taxes and the rescue of patriots who were imprisoned. Under the repression, it turned into a riot conflict. In the end, as such a leader with no head and no brains, he accepted the severe punishment given by the Party Central Committee. Under the jurisdiction of the Japanese, such a reckless impulse was doomed to failure! ”

"Sister Jieyu, where is your home?"

"Chengde."

"You must have been to a lot of places in the past few years, right?"

"I have traveled almost to most places in the three eastern provinces, and I have been to Luanping, Xinglong, Weichang, Chifeng, Fengtian and other places. I've been back and forth many times because my mission is to be in charge of intelligence and liaison. ”

"And where is your team?"

"This-"

"I know, it's your military secret, I shouldn't ask."

Ji Jieyu smiled and said, "You have a life-saving grace for me, you shouldn't have hidden it, but-let's put it this way!" Since the Japanese devils invaded and occupied the three eastern provinces, there have been many anti-Japanese troops who have risen up, some of them occupy the mountains as kings, and some of them are unwilling to surrender to small troops, they have risen up to resist and fought desperately with the enemy, in short, the anti-Japanese contingent is omnipresent. It has been repeatedly encircled and suppressed by the Japanese puppet army, but it cannot be destroyed. Little Japan wants to swallow the whole of Greater China, which is simply wishful thinking and daydreaming. Now that the international anti-fascist occupation struggle has begun, and some brilliant results have been achieved, and the results are remarkable, which country wants to be enslaved. After many years of resistance against Japan, we have recovered a lot of lost territory, achieved initial victories, and also saw the dawn of victory. It can be said that driving the Japanese devils out of China is just around the corner. It is necessary for you to question me in such detail that it is necessary to doubt my identity, and I can understand it. Because our team has strict confidentiality rules and regulations, strict discipline, we can't tell the truth, and I hope you forgive me. ”

Liu Xingmei also smiled and said, "Sister Jieyu, you are too worried." How can you come here with bitter meat tricks? And what can you make in this poor and remote place, it is absolutely impossible for you to be a spy, I am just curious. ”

She didn't know much about the outside world, and it was almost entirely from what Tao Zhenzong said.
