Chapter 33: Patrolling Meets Old Acquaintances
Hu Fei became the commander of the garrison of Shaling Town, which was both busy and easily envied. In order not to give others the opportunity to find fault with themselves, Hu Fei has been conscientious and has not dared to relax for a moment since he led his troops to garrison Shaling Town. Every day he would personally lead the team to participate in patrols on the streets, and every day he would report to the three commanders for duty, waiting for new orders at any time.
Probably because of the 2,000-day puppet army squatting outside Shaling Town, the generals of the volunteer army didn't have time to take care of Hu Fei, the half-hung garrison commander, and no one came to find fault with him in the past few days in office. Despite this, the daily workload is much more than before he led the troops into Shaling! Sometimes Hu Fei just wants to pick a pick.
He went to Lao Beifeng to mention it, but was severely reprimanded by Commander Zhang! Let you guard the sand ridge, that is the organization trusts you, and it is to give you face! If you don't do it, you won't do it? What do you think of the organization? As a member of the Sand Ridge Volunteers, you must maintain the majesty of the organization, and you must take it as your responsibility to protect the safety of the Sand Ridge.
Well, since the big bosses have said so, let's do it. Hu Fei set rules for himself, he must be careful and careful when patrolling, and he must not allow the slightest negligence and slackness!
On this day, Hu Fei took Li San and followed more than a dozen soldiers of the brave army to wander around the main street of the town, that is, to patrol.
As he walked, he suddenly noticed that the young man standing in front of the fried tofu stall dozens of meters away looked a little familiar. Hu Fei has seen too many people in Shaling Town, and it is normal for someone to be familiar and not recognizable. It's just that this person is different from the average person who looks familiar. Supposedly he was buying tofu, so his eyes should be on the frying tofu pan. But this man is not!
The young man looked up and looked up and looked up. Diagonally opposite the fried tofu stall is the headquarters of the Sanlu Volunteer Army in Shaling Town! Isn't this guy a Japanese spy?
Hu Fei quietly made a gesture to a few people behind him, and those subordinates immediately put on a battle formation with understanding! Li San even took out all the slingshots. Slingshot Lee is still more comfortable with a slingshot than with a pistol!
Hu Fei didn't speed up, he just walked forward unhurriedly according to the speed just now. He was only a few dozen meters away from the fried tofu stall, so how long would it take him to walk slowly? When Hu Fei walked slowly to the stall, it was useless for even a minute, and the young man who bought the tofu had just taken the fried tofu in his hand. opened his mouth and took a bite of Zhengha's hot air, Hu Feile stood opposite him.
"Isn't this Zhao Cheng, why did you have time to come to Shaling? Did you come here to find a job to do or did you come to eat this fried tofu? Hehe, you don't have a bad eye, this Liu Laoqi's fried tofu is famous far and wide, and our Commander Zhang has also come to eat his fried tofu. ”
Zhao Chengcheng is the one who Hu Fei rescued from the water prison of Zhao Shoufu's house in Niuzhuang. Although it has been a long time, this kid is the first time Hu Fei rescued from the water prison, and the two of them also said a few words at that time, Hu Fei was quite impressed.
Zhao Cheng suddenly heard someone shouting his name, and then saw that it was Hu Fei standing in front of him, this surprise was not trivial! This kid was still chewing a piece of fried tofu in his mouth, and when he opened his mouth in surprise, he spit out half of the other half and stuck it in his throat. I sighed, I wanted to speak but didn't say it, but I choked and coughed again and again, coughing so much that my face was red and my neck was thick with tears.
When Hu Fei saw it, he hurriedly went up and helped him pat his back. Finally relieved of this breath, Zhao Cheng wiped the corners of his mouth and eyes with his sleeve, looked up and saw Hu Fei bending over and kneeling, "It turned out to be the chief." Thank you, sir, for saving your life last time! As he spoke, he had to kowtow to the ground to see what it meant.
Hu Fei hurriedly stretched out his hand and dragged the person up. There are people coming and going on this street, what is going on with this kid going to kowtow to himself a few times so that people can see it?
"Get up, get up, get up. Zhao Cheng, let me ask you, why did you come to Shaling? Are you looking for someone or a job? Or is it really just here to eat this fried tofu? I can tell you, the sandy ridges are ready to fight at any time! I searched the town every day, specifically for Japanese spies. Be careful not to treat you like a spy! ”
"Sir, do you think I look like a spy? If I were a spy, could Master Zhao have put me in a water prison at the beginning? I heard that Shaling Town is good here, and I came here half a month ago to look for work, but I didn't find anything after half a month! Yesterday, I heard from a fellow villager that my third uncle of my own family opened a restaurant in Tai'an, and there was a shortage of guys in it. I plan to go to Liaoyang today to join my third uncle. Isn't eating fried tofu a passing by and trying it? ”
"Okay, boy, the little mouth is quite capable of living in vain. Well, since you are going to Tai'an to join your relatives, then hurry up. Hu Fei waved his hand but didn't leave, just standing in front of the fried tofu stall. The boss of the fried tofu smiled and held a string of fried tofu for Hu Fei to taste. Hu Fei took a bite of it, well, it was crispy and delicious, and the taste was really good.
"Last time, thanks to the chief's life, I wanted to repay the great favor, but now I have no money in my pocket. When I earn money in the future, I will definitely come to the chief to thank me generously! Sir, you're busy, I'm going to take my leave. After clasping his hands into fists and giving Hu Feishen a salute, Zhao Cheng turned around and left.
Hu Fei stared at Zhao Cheng's back for a while, and then raised his hand to call the soldiers of the two patrols, "You two will follow Zhao Cheng for me until he walks out of the town." I think this kid seems to be a little suspicious. ”
The two volunteer warriors agreed, and hung far behind Zhao Cheng. Hu Fei and his men continued to patrol the town.
After Zhao Cheng left Hu Fei, he walked all the way out of the town, and looked back a few times on the way. The two volunteer soldiers who were in charge of tracking did not evade, we followed him when he left, and we stopped when he stopped.
Of course Zhao Cheng saw those two people, although he was a little suspicious in his heart, but this town is full of volunteers, and you can't say that seeing the two of them walking behind you is following you, right? In that case, there will be more people following him!
What Zhao Cheng and Hu Fei said was really true, and he really didn't find a job here for half a month. Yesterday, I heard a vague news that he knew that there was a distant relative in Tai'an, who was mixing well, so he planned to take refuge.
Shaling is the base of the Volunteer Army, since he has come here, Zhao Chengcheng plans to see what the gate of the Volunteer Army Headquarters is like, and when he comes to Tai'an, he will also have a capital to brag about. Save others from asking him, you have been in Shaling for half a month, what is the gate of the Volunteer Army Headquarters? What do those three commanders look like? If he said that he hadn't seen it and didn't know what to do, wouldn't it be very shameless?
