It was very easy to find a short-term worker, and after the housekeeper and Zhang Lei entered the village, they sat down in a house and only said that they wanted to find a short-term worker to do farm work, and all the young and middle-aged people in the village poured over.

Many people often work part-time for Zhang Tianheng's family, and they are very familiar with Zhang Tianheng's fields. The housekeeper immediately made arrangements for the short-term workers at that house.

A short-term worker family also caught two chickens and sent them to the housekeeper.

Zhang Lei was in charge of supervising the work, supervising the fields while the day workers were doing farm work, to prevent anyone from sabotage or laziness.

The sun was very poisonous, so Zhang Lei hid in the shade of the trees on the edge of the field to rest. In the past, he didn't have this kind of treatment, and he had to work in the fields with the day workers, even harder than the day workers. Now that his identity has changed, he no longer has to do farm work himself.

Lunch was delivered by the housekeepers, and several housekeepers carried large pots filled with white rice, and several large basins filled with salted fish and salted meat.

The busy farming season is more lively than the New Year, because at this time, the big landlord's family will definitely entertain the people who work for his family.

For most peasants, at the end of the busy year, that is, when the farm is busy, they can eat the salted fish and meat of the landlord's house.

In the evening, Zhang Lei and the housekeeper reported to Zhang Tianheng about the farm work.

Zhang Tianheng said: "When the gendarmes and plainclothes teams come, I said that you can't bomb the train, but Dazuo has spoken, and all the people who have appeared at the train station must be investigated, so you can tell the truth, don't be afraid of them." ”

Zhang Lei showed an extremely frightened appearance and whispered: "I'm so scared, can you accompany me, master?" ”

Zhang Tianheng nodded and said, "Alas! What are you afraid of? There I am! They don't dare to bully you! ”

After Zhang Tianheng made a phone call, not long after, two Japanese officers came to the reception room of Zhang Tianheng's house with an interpreter and Wang Ba, the leader of the plainclothes team.

Zhang Tianheng sat on a sofa, and two Japanese officers sat on a sofa.

Zhang Lei, Wang Ba, and the translator were all standing.

After the Japanese officer spoke in Japanese, the interpreter said: "The investigation is a routine official business, and I came here on the orders of the division commander. ”

The Japanese officer spoke, and the interpreter said: "Zhang Lei has walked around the train station, please tell me the details." ”

Zhang Lei looked at Zhang Tianheng, and Zhang Tianheng said: "I asked him to check the safety of the train to see if there is a New Fourth Army." ”

The Japanese officer spoke, and the interpreter said, "Let Zhang Lei speak." ”

Zhang Lei lowered his head, pinched the corner of his clothes, and whispered: "I was curious about the train, so I looked around." So many imperial troops have seen me, and if you don't believe it, you can ask them. ”

The Japanese officer spoke, and the interpreter said: "The Imperial Army said that you entered the trunk, what are you doing in the trunk?" ”

Zhang Lei said: "They called me in, saying they wanted to give me candy to eat." When I went in, I took the sugar, peeled the candy wrapper, put the candy in my mouth, and came out. They also told me to close the trunk door, which was so heavy that it took me a lot of effort to pull it back. ”

Zhang Lei made up lies temporarily, his face did not change, and his heart did not beat. After eating the candy of ghosts, Zhang Lei entered the car box, and before the six Japanese devils could react, they were about to shoot like lightning.

The Japanese officer spoke, and the interpreter said, "Osaku said that you are a great good citizen, and I think you are indeed so." Think about it, and if you think of something unusual, you must report it to the Imperial Army immediately. ”

Zhang Lei looked at Zhang Tianheng, Zhang Tianheng said: "A few days ago, in order to save me, he was almost killed by me, such a minion, he didn't even dare to dream of killing, and he would blow up the train?" He was brought up by me since childhood, so you can rest assured. Don't scare him, he's timid as a mouse. ”

The Japanese officers saluted Zhang Tianheng and said goodbye, and Wang Ba also hurriedly saluted and took his leave.

After the Japanese officer and Wang Ba left, Zhang Tianheng looked at Zhang Lei and sighed and said: "These people didn't go to Shanghai Railway Station to investigate, but they tossed around here, and I suspect that the saboteurs planted bombs in Shanghai." Alas! Zhang Lei, don't be afraid, just sleep on your own, the sky is falling, I will hold on to it, and I will continue to supervise the work for me early tomorrow morning. The work in the fields cannot be delayed, and the short-term workers must be urged to work quickly. ”

Zhang Lei showed a grateful look, nodded his head, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will definitely go to ask them to work early tomorrow." ”

Early the next morning, Zhang Lei walked to the farmland.

At lunchtime, Xiaohua came over with the family.

Xiaohua brought a towel to Zhang Lei.

Zhang Lei no longer joked with Xiaohua, wiped his body with a towel, dried his sweat, and then sat on the edge of the field and watched the short-term workers work.

Zhang Lei looked at the sky and felt that after lunchtime, he knocked on the basin, and the short-term workers dragged mud and water from the field and ran up.

After lunch, Zhang Lei and the short-term workers went to the village to rest.

You can't work at noon, the sun is too poisonous, and if you work, you will inevitably get heat stroke. The sun must turn west after three o'clock before the day workers can go to the fields.

Xiaohua also followed Zhang Lei into the village.

Zhang Lei pulled a stool in a peasant house with slightly better conditions, and sat in the shade of a big tree outside the door to enjoy the shade.

Xiaohua sat down beside Zhang Lei.

Xiaohua looked at Zhang Lei and asked, "Why don't you ignore me?" ”

Zhang Lei glanced at Xiaohua and whispered, "Go back!" I want to sleep on this bench for a while. ”

Xiaohua asked, "Do you really want to marry me?" ”

Zhang Lei shook his head and said, "I'm not a young master, I won't have such a big-headed dream." ”

Xiaohua whispered, "I don't care?" ”

Zhang Lei said casually: "I'll talk about it when I have dozens of acres of land." ”

Xiaohua is still young, how could Zhang Lei want to marry her? I just thought she was cute and wanted to joke with her.

Xiaohua smiled and said, "Okay! I'll wait for you! ”

Xiaohua took it seriously, although she felt that Zhang Lei would never have dozens of acres of land in his life.

Zhang Lei lay down on a bench and took a nap.

At some point, suddenly there was a hard object on his chest, and Zhang Lei woke up.

Seeing two middle-aged men wearing straw hats, one tall and one short, sticking their shell guns into their belts, they immediately guessed that these two people were the New Fourth Army.

In Zhang Lei's eyes, the New Fourth Army was relatives, and he was overjoyed to see their appearance. Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally looked forward to the appearance of the relatives of the New Fourth Army.

Zhang Lei pretended to be stabbed in the chest, rubbed his chest, and asked: "Are the two heroes robbing money, or are they dying?" ”

The tall man looked fierce and threatened: "Dog, how dare you save Zhang Tianheng, a big spy?" I'll shoot you! ”

Zhang Lei smiled and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The tall man stood tall and looked extremely proud, and said: "We are the New Fourth Army, the Jiangnan Advance Team, and we have detected that Zhang Tianheng and his son are doing business that hurts the heavens and reason, and they are trying to make bombs with white phosphorus. ”

Zhang Lei nodded his head up and down with a smug look, and said with a smile: "All the white phosphorus has been blown up!" ”

The tall man gritted his teeth and said, "God really has eyes, and it is well fried!" ”

Zhang Lei raised his eyebrows, smiled, and said, "I said that I blew it up, will you believe it?" ”

The tall man shook his head and said viciously: "You big traitor, you dare to talk nonsense!" Beware of me shooting you. ”

Zhang Lei said: "It's dangerous here, and the plainclothes team is looking for you. ”

The tall man glared and shouted, "If they dare to come, we will destroy them." ”

Zhang Lei asked: "What do you want me to do?" ”

The tall man said, "Lure out Zhang Tianheng, a big spy, and we're going to kill him." ”

Zhang Lei shook his head and said, "I don't need you to kill him, I can kill him." ”

The tall man sneered and said, "You are his most faithful dog, and I warn you, if you don't lure him out, I will shoot you on behalf of the people's representative government." ”

Zhang Lei said: "Keeping his life is more effective than killing him, and I will help you get information about the Japanese devils from him." ”

The tall man slapped the gun on his waist and said, "Stubborn, it seems that leaving you is a scourge." ”

Zhang Lei and one tall and one short couldn't say anything. The two middle-aged people, one tall and one short, are indeed the New Fourth Army, and they don't believe everything that Zhang Lei said, and they can't wait to destroy Zhang Lei with one shot. What Zhang Lei said was true, but to them, every word was unreliable. was very angry, and in a fit of anger, he wanted to pull out a gun again to intimidate Zhang Lei.

Just when the tall man pulled out the gun, Zhang Lei had to make a move, Zhang Lei reached out and pressed the tall man's hand to pull out the gun, and the tall man struggled to pull out a few times but didn't move. The short man pulled out the gun, and before he could load it, Zhang Lei suddenly made a move, snatched the gun, played with a flower, pinched the barrel and handed him back the gun.

Zhang Lei sat back on the bench and whispered, "Do you believe it now?" If I were Zhang Tianheng's most loyal dog, you would all be dead by now. I'll come again tomorrow, I'll give you gifts, and I hope you'll dare to come to me again tomorrow. Don't be a turtle with a shrunken head, and make me look down on you. ”

The tall and short New Fourth Army looked at Zhang Lei and was shocked.

The dog's legs in the eyes of the two New Fourth Army were hidden deeply. The two of them are masters in the New Fourth Army, and they are not opponents of doglegs.

The short New Fourth Army asked in a low voice: "What kind of hero are you?" Will it be a military commander? ”

Zhang Lei smiled and said: "It doesn't matter who I am, anyway, we are friends, not enemies." You'd better move elsewhere, Osa has been planning a sweep lately. ”

Zhang Lei looked at the backs of the two New Fourth Army troops walking quickly south on the ridge, sighed heavily, and said to himself: "I hope you dare to come to me tomorrow." ”
