Chapter 66: The Town
Qin Yuan left Qiqihar with his brothers and walked for a month and a half in a row, and came to a small city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The small town is not big, but it is the only town within a radius of dozens of miles, and people come and go from all directions every day.
Qin Yuan decided to trim it up here.
When I heard that I could finally rest, the big guys were very happy.
But Qin Yuan was still a little more careful, he did not directly enter the city with his troops, but chose to camp in a mountain col not far from the small city.
After all, I don't know if there are any devils here, so it's always right to be careful.
Leaving Zhang Fenglin to settle the brothers, Qin Yuan took Zhang Ying to disguise himself as a young couple and prepare to go to the small city to investigate.
At this time, it was just dawn, and a large number of peasants were driving to the town from all directions.
There was a donkey cart in the distance, and the driver was an old man, who seemed to be quite old, dressed in tatters, and had a bag of dry tobacco in his mouth.
The cart was filled with firewood, and many people in this era made a living by going to the woods to cut firewood and then hauling it to the city to sell.
Qin Yuan glanced at Zhang Ying, and when the old man approached with the car, the two rushed out from the side of the road.
The muzzle of the black hole was pointed at the old man, and Qin Yuan pouted and motioned for him to get out of the car.
When the old man who was driving the car saw Qin Yuan holding a gun in his hand, he thought that he had met a bandit, and his legs were so frightened that his legs were weak, so he knelt down and kowtowed at that time, begging the good man to spare his life.
Qin Yuan didn't hurt the old man, but pushed him aside, his target was just this donkey cart.
Let Zhang Ying get on the donkey cart, and Qin Yuan prepared to drive the cart into the city.
The old man stood pitifully on the side of the road, his eyes were full of tears, and he looked at Qin Yuan with a blank eye, this cart of firewood was the source of his family's rations for a day today, and now it was also snatched away by Qin Yuan.
Looking at the old man who was quite old and standing in the cold wind, Qin Yuan was also a little unbearable.
But there is no way, you need a simple disguise to enter the city, you can't rush in with a gun in a daze, you can only grieve the old man.
After thinking about it, Qin Yuan still decided to compensate the other party with some money. But after touching all over the body, I suddenly found that I didn't have a big son.
The money on his body is in the pocket of the military uniform, and he was going to go into the city this morning to investigate, so he deliberately changed into a common person's clothes, but he forgot to bring the money.
Fortunately, Zhang Ying was a clever person, and when she saw Qin Yuan's movements, she knew that he had no money on him, so after thinking about it, she took off a pair of gold earrings from her ears and handed them to the old man, saying that it was the cost of buying this cart and donkey.
This was a surprise for the old man.
He couldn't earn back this pair of gold earrings even if he sold dozens of truckloads of firewood, so he immediately thanked him so much that he almost had to kneel down again.
After sending the old man away, Qin Yuan wrapped himself and Zhang Ying's pistols in cloth and put them in the dung bag behind the donkey's tail.
Many donkey carts in this era had such a dung bag on the back, on the one hand, to prevent the donkey from pulling on the street; On the other hand, it is also energy reuse, and the donkey's dung is directly pulled into the dung bag, and it can be used for fire after being taken back to air dry.
Walking on the road, Qin Yuan felt a little sorry for Zhang Ying, he knew that the pair of gold earrings was the only jewelry on Zhang Ying's body, and he had been wearing them on his ears, obviously he liked it very much.
Today, because he also gave someone away, this made Qin Yuan's heart full of guilt.
But Zhang Ying looked indifferent, and instead persuaded Qin Yuan not to take it to heart, she didn't want to wear those pair of earrings for a long time.
Qin Yuan knew that she was comforting herself, and couldn't help but secretly make up her mind that when she had conditions in the future, she must compensate Zhang Ying well.
The two pretended to be a small couple, but they also looked very compatible. For safety, Zhang Ying also smeared some dirt on her face and made herself disgraced.
When I arrived at the edge of the town, I saw a few soldiers standing at the gate of the city, wearing the gray uniforms of the Northeast Army, shouting at the people to check, and from time to time leaving various packages on the ground.
When he walked in, Qin Yuan found that this group of soldiers was not the Northeast Army, but the puppet army.
Because the cockade of the hat on their heads is not a blue sky and a white sun, but a five-colored star.
At this time, it was the early stage of the puppet Manchurians, and the Japanese army did not establish a complete puppet army management system, and most of the puppet troops in the Northeast still wore the gray military uniforms of the Northeast Army, but the cockade was replaced from the blue sky and white sun emblem to the five-colored star.
In December 1932, the puppet Manchurian government adhered to the will of the Japanese Kwantung Army and began to unify the formation of puppet army units in various places, including the content of unified military uniforms.
After 1937, with the further regularization of the various systems of the puppet Manchurian army, and more importantly, with the strengthening of the control of the Japanese Kwantung Army over the puppet Manchurians, especially the puppet Manchurian army, the puppet Manchurian army adjusted the style and color of the military uniforms, and further imitated the Japanese Army's Zhaowu-style military uniforms, almost to the point where they could be faked and real, so that when we look at the old photos of the puppet Manchurian period, we often have the trouble of not being able to distinguish between the Japanese army and the puppet army.
Since there is a puppet army at the gate of the city, it is obvious that this county town must have been occupied by devils.
Qin Yuan and Zhang Ying glanced at each other, and the two of them began to become cautious.
When they came to the city gate, several puppet soldiers stopped Qin Yuan.
"What are you doing in the city?" The leader of the puppet army squad leader raised his head and asked angrily.
"A few CEOs, my daughter-in-law and I are from the nearby tunzi, and they go into the city to sell some firewood to make ends meet."
After listening to Qin Yuan's words, the squad leader of the puppet army glanced at him contemptuously, and then asked the two of his men to go down to inspect Qin Yuan's donkey cart.
After some inspection, no problems were found. As for the dung bags hanging behind the donkey's buttocks, these puppet soldiers simply didn't even look at it.
The squad leader of the puppet army stared at Qin Yuan and Zhang Ying again, both of them were wearing dirty clothes, their faces were full of dirt, and they looked like mud legs.
Knowing that there was no oil or water to be found on them, he scolded them and let them into the city.
There was no danger and no danger, and they entered the city smoothly, and the two of them drove the donkey cart and shouted while observing the situation in the city.
Walking around this small city, the firewood was sold out, and there was not a single devil on the street, but there were many people coming and going.
Qin Yuan estimated that there should be no devils in this small city, or there were very few devils. And the puppet army does not have many troops, and the entry and exit are added together, at most it is less than a company.
It is estimated that the devil has just occupied this place, and the puppet army in the city is the original Northeast Army defending the city, surrendered to the devil, and took advantage of the situation to act as a lackey for the devil to guard the house.
The time slowly came to noon, and Qin Yuan even saw several stalls starting to put out couplets and blessing characters for sale, and he was stunned for a moment. Counting the days, damn, it seems that it has reached the wax moon, and it is almost the New Year.
Time has passed so quickly, it has been more than four months since I came to this world, and my comrades-in-arms around me have changed several times.
In the afternoon, the bustling town began to fall silent, and the streets became less and less crowded, and the people hurried to leave before the gates closed.
Qin Yuan also felt that the result of the investigation was almost over, so he pulled Zhang Ying and drove the donkey cart out of the town.
