[Chapter Word Count:3183 Last Updated:2015-02-2309:00:00.0]

Around four o'clock in the morning on July 26, 1936

Today is the day of returning to the door, Wang Shihua and Zhang Cuiyun, with one or two hundred people, held torches out of the village and headed towards Lao Sicheng.

The twenty ordinary carriages at the back of the long carriage procession were all carried by Wang Sihua's personal guards and tied up on the carts, intentionally or unintentionally, not letting others approach.

Wang Shihua and Tie Niu huddled together, and took a nap when he got in the car: after he came back yesterday, he kept kneeling in front of Daddy's room to plead guilty, but as a result, Daddy didn't make a sound except for coughing all night. It wasn't until he set off that he kowtowed and got up under the persuasion of his grandmother.

After coming to Lao Sicheng, the team stayed on the lawn outside the city for breakfast, and Wang Shihua didn't get out of the car, so he slept in the car.

Uncle Jiang was beaten ten times and imprisoned in a dungeon, but Wang Shihua also announced on the spot that Jiang Shoucheng inherited Uncle Jiang's position. Regardless of the pain in his buttocks, Uncle Jiang kowtowed again and again, and happily went to the dungeon to report. With this scene, everyone understands: Uncle Jiang is just temporarily going to the dungeon to avoid the wind and waves, otherwise, how can his son succeed him?

Jiang Shoucheng naturally didn't have any sadness, and turned around and did his duty loyally according to Wang Shihua's instructions.

After everyone had breakfast, seeing that Wang Shihua had not urged everyone to leave, Jiang Shoucheng was a little anxious: If you don't move again, when you rush to Zhangjiabao, I'm afraid you won't even be able to catch up with dinner.

I wanted to open my mouth twice in a row, but Zhang Cuiyun on the side shook his head to stop him, and he could only be in a hurry.

Wang Shihua squinted at the direction of Wangjiaping from time to time: he was more anxious than anyone else, but he couldn't say anything about it, he could only wait half-asleep and wait for the news of Erhu.

Seeing that it was six o'clock in the morning, and it would be late if he didn't set off, Jiang Shoucheng felt that this was the first thing he had done since he officially became the chief housekeeper, and he couldn't go on a business trip, so he stiffened his head, ignored Zhang Cuiyun's gaze, walked to Wang Shihua's side, and was about to speak.

Unexpectedly, Wang Shihua sat up suddenly, jumped out of the carriage and ran towards the road in surprise. Jiang Shoucheng turned around and squinted, it turned out that the second tiger came through the fog on horseback.

"Erhu, how's it going?" Before the horse could stop, Wang Shihua grabbed the reins and asked in a whisper impatiently.

Erhu hurriedly jumped off the horse and touched his head, his expression a little weird.

"What do you mean? In the end, whether it succeeds or not, give a happy word. ”

"Young master, I touched it according to your order, and the fourth old lady also hanged herself, but it was not my hand." Speaking of this, Erhu leaned closer and said softly, "When I first entered, I happened to see Young Master Shirong and the three-eyed cat going out over the wall. Then I touched the body of the fourth old lady and found that it was still hot, and I thought it should have been done by Young Master Shirong. ”

Wang Sihua sent Erhu back to understand the fourth old lady to get rid of future troubles, but he didn't expect Wang Shirong to do it first, so he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Alright, that's the end of the matter."

"Young master, don't worry, I know that things are serious, even if my father comes to ask, I won't say a word."

Wang Sihua nodded, patted Erhu's shoulder, turned around and shouted, "Hurry up and bring a bowl of rice to Erhu." ”

"You eat first, and then follow me to Zhangjiabao."

Wang Sihua reversed the procrastination just now and urged everyone: "Are you still grinding?" Before the sun comes out, hurry up. Otherwise, you won't even be able to eat dinner. ”

Everyone who had been prepared immediately set off, and Wang Shihua was still crowded with Tie Niu, but this time he was really asleep.

At about half past one in the afternoon, the team came and saw that they were about to arrive at the east entrance of Rolling Stone Hills.

"Stop!" The second dog who was following the side of the car to protect Wang Shihua suddenly yelled, and when he saw that everyone was pulling the reins and stopping, he smiled flatteringly at Wang Shihua: "Young master, the rolling stone gang has arrived, you see that the brothers are in a hurry, this big sun, can you let the brothers go inside to rest?" ”

Ergouzi's words seemed to be for the sake of the brothers, but in fact, he told Wang Shihua: Young Master, the location of the joint has arrived.

"Let the brethren rest at the west entrance." Wang Shihua got up, stretched comfortably, got up and jumped out of the car, and waved his hand while walking towards the stream on the side of the road: "Ergouzi, you stay." ”

You guys! refers to Wang Shihua's personal guards, there are thirty people.

The 100-member fast gun team, under the leadership of the Second Tiger, happily entered the Rolling Stone Hills. Even if anyone noticed that the twenty carriages at the back of the line had been left behind, no one dared to ask.

When Wang Shihua, Zhang Cuiyun and Xiaomei went to the creek to wash their faces, they saw about 40 people walking out of the forest.

The pro-guard team had already been instructed, so naturally they would not warn, but everyone was on guard with guns.

The two sides were twenty or thirty meters apart, and most of the comers stopped, and Shang Xiaohua and Huang Yaping walked towards Wang Shihua.

"Mr. Wang is really a trustworthy person."

"Sister Shang is polite." Wang Shihua took the handkerchief from Xiaomei's hand, wiped his hands, and smiled at Shang Xiaohua while handing it to Xiaomei: "Time is pressing, let's trade immediately." ”

Seeing Shang Xiaohua nodded, Wang Shihua pointed to the twenty carriages, and said: "According to what we talked about, every three months, we will sell you 10,000 catties of grain and some medicines and daily necessities, this is the first batch, where are they, please!" ”

In this era, daring to be involved with the guerrillas, after being discovered, the fate is a hundred times stricter than being a bandit. Ordinary people are poor, and that little support is a drop in the bucket for a guerrilla force of more than 100 people. To put it mildly, the guerrillas could not afford to buy food and medicine, which were strictly controlled. Wang Shihua sold them at the market price, and the profit was about the same as the risk he had. The reason why he did this was because Wang Shihua instinctively felt that these people might be able to achieve great things in the future, although the success rate was extremely low, but as the head of the family, he could not put all his eggs in one basket and think about the future of the family without being discovered.

As soon as Huang Yaping beckoned, five or six people immediately walked to the carriage to check.

At the same time, Shang Xiaohua took out a silver ticket and handed it over, seeing that Wang Shihua was about to take it, Shang Xiaohua turned his hand and stuffed the silver ticket into Zhang Cuiyun's hand, and said with a smile: "Money is a thing, you can't put too much on a man, otherwise, a man will become bad if he is rich." ”

"Thank you Sister Shang for your advice, rest assured, he never carries money with him." Zhang Cuiyun nodded, glanced at Wang Shihua proudly, but what he got was Wang Shihua's white eyes.

After the inspection was done on both sides, the guards withdrew thirty or forty meters back, and the guerrillas began to come and carry them.

"Mr. Wang, no! When you come back from Zhangjiabao, I have to call you the master of the house. After the transportation was completed, Huang Yaping was completely relieved, and there were more smiles on his face, and he said with a joke: "I hope the head of the family will take more care." ”

According to the agreement, Huang Yaping, as the liaison, will ostensibly be a gentleman hired by the palace to teach Wang Shigui, who is only eight years old, to read.

Wang Shihua also happily clenched his fists in return, and said, "Then Mr. Lao is annoying." ”

After a few more pleasantries, everyone separated.

"Young master, do you want to send someone to follow them and see where their nest is?"

Wang Shihua, who was riding on the horse, glanced at the two dogs and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"The little one thinks that if they dare to turn their faces with us one day, the little ones will take someone to serve their old nest."

Wang Shihua lowered his head and thought about it, shook his head slightly, and said, "No, we are not all the way with them." The reason why I support them to order things and leave personal feelings is for the sake of everyone's future...... You can't have a deep friendship with them, but don't leave them out in the cold. In the future, as long as they do not turn against the water, we will continue to maintain the current state. ”

"Little one understands."

After the two dogs left, Zhang Cuiyun suddenly asked in a low voice: "Shihua, do you believe them?" ”

Wang Shihua sneered and said, "In this world, except for my Wang family, I don't believe in anyone. ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhang Cuihuang suspiciously, and asked, "Why do you ask that?" ”

"I have heard people say that the guerrillas have been surrounded and suppressed many times by detective squads and officers and soldiers, and there should not be many of them, but they need 10,000 catties of grain every three months, which is equivalent to more than 3,000 catties a month. According to the largest, each person has one pound a day, only 30 pounds a month, and more than 3,000 pounds is enough for more than 100 people to eat (at that time, Xiangxi people were used to eating only two meals a day). However, I also heard that the guerrillas were very poor and very frugal, and after they received food, they usually had half weeds and half grain, and if they were so streamlined, more than 3,000 catties of grain would be enough to feed two or three hundred people. Have you ever thought about why they want so much food? ”

Wang Shihua frowned slightly, and after thinking about it, he shook his head: "I don't know, but when that Huang Yaping arrives at home, ask him if he knows?" ”

Later, Wang Shihua learned that there were now more than 400 guerrillas in the county, but only about 140 of them were young and middle-aged, and the rest were all old, weak, women, and children...... According to the county annals, when Marshal He left Xiangxi for the Long March, tens of thousands of people followed, and there were five or six thousand people in Jiangyin County at that time. In order to settle these civilians and contain the enemy, Marshal He left a division of men and horses to fight guerrilla warfare in Xiangxi for several months......

For the rest of the journey, Wang Shihua sped up and finally arrived at Zhangjiabao at about five o'clock in the afternoon.

After some etiquette greetings, wine and meat were served, and as soon as the sun set, Wang Shihua hid in the room to watch his favorite "The Art of War".

"Third Young Master, come and see...... Belch~! What are you? Wang Shihua has a good habit of reading "The Art of War": every time he finishes reading a chapter, he must close his eyes and think, combine this chapter of the Art of War with some things in the past or present, and see if there is a better way to apply it or solve it. As a result, as soon as I finished reading a chapter, I heard Ergouzi screaming smartly outside, secretly reminding Zhang Qingren that he was here.

"Get out of the way, I'll find Shihua for help!"

As soon as the words fell, the door was "Bang!" by Zhang Qingren. The ground thudn.

"Shihua, you can save me, help me stop my sister." As soon as he saw Shihua, Zhang Qingren shouted with joy and ran to the window, anxious as if he was burning his buttocks.

"Third brother, what happened? How did you? ”

saw Zhang Qingren push open the window, and said hurriedly while crawling over: "Don't ask first, anyway, help me block Cuiyun, the third brother remembers you well." ”

After speaking, Zhang Qingren jumped out of the window, making Wang Shihua inexplicable, but it is certain that Zhang Qingren must have done something wrong and angered Zhang Cuiyun.

"Madame, you're back. Yes! Madame, what are you? ”

"Boom!"

The door was kicked open by Zhang Cuiyun......
