Chapter Sixty-Seven: Sand Ridge Town
Hu Fei thought about it and always felt that it was inappropriate to go back and report to Lao Beifeng now, but what if he didn't report? When he came to Panshan this time, he brought more than 20 people from the vanguard team, can these 20 people take down Shaling Town? I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, right?
What time is it? It's a time when every second counts, and you can't afford to delay a moment! Every minute that drags on, the devil is likely to drive into the sandy ridge! Even if there are no devils, Ling Yinqing alone can mobilize a large number of puppet troops, if this guy sends hundreds of thousands of puppet troops to Shaling Town, it will be even more difficult to capture Ling Yinqing alive at that time!
After quickly weighing the gains and losses on both sides, Hu Fei had already made a decision in his heart, "Third brother, I'll give you three people to go to the big boss immediately, just say that I went to Shaling Town, and Ling Yinqing is likely to hide in Shaling!" Go back and tell Feng Quan, let him break up the brothers in the pioneer village and bring them to Shaling, and when they arrive, they will connect with me, I will take Shaling Town and capture Ling Yinqing alive! ”
"Uh-huh!" Scar San agreed heavily, stared at Hu Fei and Li San carefully a few times, turned around and ran away.
"Let's go, let's go to Sand Ridge Town!" Hu Fei went over and patted Li San on the shoulder, and went on the road first. Li San touched the slingshot in his waist and quickly followed behind.
Behind these two people, a group of people gradually gathered, and these people were the vanguard team brought out by Hu Fei. Since there was no real battle in Panshan, these people had been hiding with various identities not far from Hu Fei. Now that the boss is going to Sand Ridge Town, these people naturally have to come out and go with them.
Shaling Town is in the southeast of Panshan County, about 50 miles away from the county seat. Since entering Panshan was to inquire about intelligence, it was too easy to attract attention by riding a horse into the city, so Hu Fei and his vanguard team left their horses on the team. When I was in the city, the goal was small, but now it is a bit troublesome to walk dozens of miles out of the city to Sand Ridge Town.
Fifty miles is not far away, but it is not close at all, and if you walk completely on two legs, I'm afraid you will have to walk all day! It's already afternoon, which means that when you get to Sandridge Town, you'll get at least early morning! Anyway, he couldn't enter the town during the day today, and Hu Fei was not in a hurry, but kept the normal walking speed of ordinary people and hurried forward.
Along the way, I also met several horse-drawn carriages that were rushing on the road, but these carriages did not come together, and they often walked for an hour or two to see one. There were more than 20 people on Hu Fei's side, and a carriage couldn't fit so many people, and Hu Fei didn't want to let his subordinates walk in the car, so he simply turned a blind eye to those passing carriages. You go yours, I go mine, we don't interfere with each other.
In fact, he is a beard himself, and it is not a big deal to rob a carriage along the way. It's just that Hu Fei, the leader, doesn't give orders, and the soldiers under him can't rob casually. Hu Fei's unintentional move gave his subordinates a good start, and since then, the troops he led have rarely disturbed the people, and the reason why Hu Fei's troops will be supported by others in the future is also from this day.
Sleeping in the open at night and hurrying early in the morning, Hu Fei led his vanguard team straight to Shaling Town. Because the devil did not send troops to the Northeast for a long time, although Fengtian was occupied, Huang Xiansheng led his police force was still resisting in Jinzhou, and the Northeast Army did not completely withdraw into the Guannai. There are no devils' troops moving back and forth on the country roads here, and Hu Fei and their troops have no accidents along the way.
At noon the next day, I saw the town of Sand Ridge. It is said to be a town, but in fact, it is a villager gathering area that is slightly larger than the village, with streets and markets but no city walls, and the scale is much smaller than that of Panshan County. Since it was just noon, there were few pedestrians on the street.
Nowadays, people are relatively simple, and they basically eat lunch at each house at noon, and few people wander around the streets. Although Hu Fei's group of people may not necessarily attract the attention of many people, for the sake of safety, he still let people disperse, and the goal of walking into the town in a group of three or four people is much smaller.
A main street in the town. Although the sparrows are small, there are all kinds of business on this street, restaurants, department stores, barber shops, oil mills, clothing shops, all there should be, and there is even a bathhouse in the town. Although there aren't many people on the streets at this time, the town's prosperity can be seen in the variety of shops.
Hu Fei squinted his eyes and saw from this end to the other, but he didn't see where the puppet army's barracks were. Isn't Ling Yinqing here? Where else could the old guy hide but in the barracks? Didn't Lu Jinbiao say that there was still a company of puppet troops stationed in Shaling Town? Why didn't he look at the shadow of a puppet army?
Looking left and right, he didn't see the puppet army he was looking for, but his nose smelled the aroma of food, that's right, this is the fragrance of sorghum rice! From the breakfast I ate at dawn in the morning, I rushed to the morning, and when I walked here, the little food in my stomach had been digested early. I didn't feel it when I thought about it just now, but now when I smell the smell of food, the feeling of hunger comes up like a tide.
No matter, eat first! Hu Fei took the lead and walked to the largest restaurant in town. From the beginning to the end of a street, the shop with a sign of Yipinxiang in the middle is the most conspicuous, what is the biggest restaurant that is not it?
The town is different from the county seat, and there is no guy at the door to greet guests when they all come to the front. Yesterday, when I went to the welcome building in Panshan County, the guys from all over the world said hello, which is like here, they all arrived at the gate and there was no one!
"Anyone?" Looking at this greasy door curtain, Hu Fei was angry in his heart, he didn't pick the curtain, just stood at the door and shouted inside. The slightest touch of this dirty curtain will affect his appetite, and even if he wants to go in to eat, he has to ask the guy in the restaurant to lift the curtain for him!
"Who? Ah, someone, someone! ”
Listen, is it like the sound of a restaurant guy greeting a guest?
Hu Fei was unhappy and brought it out on his face, so the one who came out of the curtain saw a cold face. This one was obviously stunned for a moment, but the quality of the service staff quickly prevailed.
Seeing that the face of this person who was still surprised just now was quickly filled with smiles, he raised the door curtain high and sang with a smile: "Yo, how many, ah, the guests are here?" Ha Lu Ha, please inside, please inside. Our small shop has the best roasted pot wine in Shaling Town, sauerkraut and white meat, chicken stewed mushrooms, pork stewed vermicelli, everything you need. Hurry up, sit inside, sit inside. ”
Looking at this chubby and smiling face, even if Hu Fei was a little unhappy in his heart, it would have long since disappeared. At the meal, did anyone stand at the door of the restaurant and get angry? If you have that effort, you might as well go in and eat two more bites of food!
There were several tables set up inside, and on one of them sat a circle of people eating, men, women, adults and children. Seeing that the fat guy let in the guests, the table eater immediately got up and began to busy cleaning up the tables, chairs and benches, it turned out that the people were inside the restaurant eating lunch!
