It is said that Zhao Xiaoqian followed the monkey's instructions and found their helper Yu Erlai at the place agreed by Hudang. On this night, all the fifteen people of the Deshui Gang came to Sanxing Island.

Boss Wei said: "Everything is ready-made, you can go to the kitchen to cook and eat by yourself." ”

It may be that they are very hungry, and these fifteen people have eaten the food of thirty people. After eating, Yu Erlai led the gang back to the hall, saw the monkey and Boss Wei, and bowed down: "Thank you Brother Wei and Brother Monkey for your kindness, I was hunted down by the Lying Cow Gang on the lake, and I haven't eaten anything for a whole day." ”

The monkey and Boss Wei hurriedly pulled everyone up: "Brothers, please hurry up." Don't do it. ”

The monkey said, "Everyone get up and talk, Brother Yu, tell me about your situation and see if we can help you." ”

Yu Er said: "The Woniu Gang is numerous, the grain and grass are sufficient, and all the small gangs have to pay protection fees to them on the water surface of twenty or thirty miles around Woniu Island." ”

The monkey said, "What happens if you don't pay the protection money?" ”

Yu Erlai: "If you don't pay it, you will either flee or be destroyed by them." Just like we do today, hiding in the lake and getting caught by them is a dead end. ”

The monkey said indignantly, "This is also too domineering." What is the name of the leader of the Lying Cow Gang? ”

Yu Er said: "The leader of the Lying Niu Gang is called Niu Fei, in his forties, and his martial arts marksmanship is known as the first in the world, and there are four fierce generals under him, known as the Four Heavenly Kings." Cheng Hao, King of the East, Liu Da, King of the West, Wu Yong, King of the South, and Bian He, King of the North. The one who is chasing us today is Liu Da, the king of the West Heaven. ”

The monkey asked Boss Wei: "Brother Wei, is Niu Fei really so powerful?" ”

Boss Wei said: "I've heard of the Lying Cow Gang before, but I don't know much about the specific situation. ”

The monkey said, "Brother Yu, what are your plans for the future?" ”

Yu Er said, "What can we do? It's a day, it's a day. ”

The monkey said, "Can't stay in this lake, don't you have any plans to go ashore?" ”

Yu Erlai's face was sad: "Brother, I won't tell you, we are all poor, and we can't survive on the shore, so we came to the lake, fished some fish and shrimp, picked some lotus root and water chestnut, and barely survived." We don't even have an inch of land, how can we live ashore? ”

The monkey said, "Big brother, I take the liberty of asking, have you ever robbed it ashore?" ”

Yu Erlai shook his head and said, "No, we have been in Hudang for three years, and we have never gone ashore to do that kind of business." We don't have that either. ”

The monkey joked: "Big brother, you thieves are also making a bag." ”

Yu Er said, "Who says it's not? ”

The monkey thought for a moment and said to Boss Wei, "Brother Wei, come here." Then he and Boss Wei walked out of the living room. Come outside the yard.

The monkey said, "Big brother, what are your plans for these people?" ”

Boss Wei said, "Try your best to help them, these people are strange and pitiful." ”

The monkey said, "Give them a little food and let them walk?" ”

Boss Wei said, "What else can I do?" ”

The monkey said, "I want to recruit them into the anti-Japanese brigade, what do you think?" ”

Boss Wei pondered for a moment: "Brother, there is right and wrong in these people, if we keep them, I am afraid we will offend the Lying Niu Gang, this is a strong enemy." ”

The monkey said, "Big brother, in fact, we have offended the Lying Niu Gang. Today, their Western Heavenly King was made gray by us, and Niu Fei might come to us for trouble.

Big brother, if our Xianghu Brigade wants to develop and grow, it is impossible to do without struggle. In the end, we want to create a team to fight devils, not hide on Samsung Island and live a stable life. ”

Boss Wei said: "You're right, but we only have a few people now, can we do anything with the Lying Niu Gang?" ”

The monkey said, "Big brother, we are not weak. Although our number is not large, our people have been trained in battle, and we fought beautifully in the battle of Wujiaji, and several of us have been greatly tempered.

Now with the addition of Huayang and Shizue, they both have the experience of fighting devils. Jingzhi is such a little girl, and she has killed several devils with her own hands.

What does he have in the Lying Cow Gang? will extort and bully their own people. ”

Boss Wei said, "Brother, what you said makes sense. However, we can't be careless, after all, the Lying Cow Gang is still very strong. ”

The monkey said: "If the Lying Niu Gang can't get through the devils and are not traitors, then they are the object of our unity, we must fight against them, let them obey us, and finally let them also participate in the anti-Japanese resistance." If they are traitors, resolutely destroy them. ”

Boss Wei said, "Okay, let's do it like this." ”

The two returned to the house. The monkey said, "Brother Yu, you are in the lake, do you know the situation outside?" ”

Yu Er said: "We don't know what's going on outside. ”

The monkey said, "Big brother, the Japanese devil has called, do you know about this?" ”

Yu Er said: "I've heard of it. ”

The monkey briefly talked about the crime of burning and looting everywhere. He said: "Brothers, the devils slaughtered hundreds of thousands of our people in Nanjing within a month, and now they have occupied most of our China, and our country is in danger. ”

More than a dozen people from Yu Erlai had never thought about these things, but when they heard these things, there were still a few bloody ones, Zhao Xiaoqian said: "There are so many people in China, why don't we do it with devils." ”

The monkey said, "Brothers, are you willing to participate in the Eighth Route Army's resistance against Japan?" ”

Zhao Xiaoqian said: "I am willing, the damn little devil is too bullying." ”

The monkey said: "Our Xianghu Brigade is an anti-Japanese team. The current Sanxing Island is no longer the gang organization of the past, and since the day we recaptured the island from the devils, it has been an anti-Japanese team. The surrounding water and highlands are our base areas.

We welcome all big brothers to join our team, and everyone will fight against Japan and fight devils together. Brother Yu, you discuss it with your people, if you are willing to participate in the Xianghu Brigade, you will stay, and if you are unwilling, you will leave tomorrow morning. I won't force you, and I won't embarrass you. ”

Yu Er said, "Brothers, shall we go out and discuss?" ”

Zhao Xiaoqian said: "What are you doing out there?" It's not something to hide. ”

Yu Er said: "Brothers, I am still your eldest brother, and in two minutes, I will no longer be your eldest brother, and I will join the Eighth Route Army."

"Brethren, we have no other way out, we are bullied on the shore, and we are bullied in the lake. We only have one way to participate in the Eighth Route Army to fight devils.

"If you are willing to follow the eldest brother, you will participate together, if you are not, the eldest brother will not take care of you, and the eldest brother will say sorry to you. If not, please step aside. ”

None of the dozen or so people stood up.

Zhao Xiaoqian: "Big brother, that's it, we are all willing." ”

Yu Er said, "Everyone stand up and stand in a row. ”

Everyone stood up. Yu Erlai said to the monkey and Boss Wei: "Brother Monkey, Captain Wei, we all participate in the Eighth Route Army in the Deshui Gang, and the Deshui Gang no longer exists. ”

Boss Wei said: "Everyone is welcome to the Xianghu brigade, please monkey tell us about it." ”

The monkey said, "Congratulations to all of you on becoming glorious soldiers of the Eighth Route Army." From now on, we will be comrades-in-arms and comrades. You still have one last chance, and you can quit now. If you miss this opportunity and quit later, you will be a deserter. Is there anything else to quit now? ”

"Nope."

"Good! Now I will tell you how to be a real soldier of the Eighth Route Army. ”
