How flexible the soldiers of the guard platoon are, how high the wall is, as soon as the two cooperate, one squats down, one steps on the shoulder, and it is overturned at once.

As soon as the people from this side entered, there was an exclamation in the courtyard, it turned out that there was someone in the door! Fortunately, there was no sound of fighting inside, and after a while, the door rang, and the door was divided on both sides, and the gate of the township office was opened. The soldier who had climbed over the wall flashed out of the door, and walked over and stood behind the guard platoon commander.

Liu Xing jumped off his horse and strode into the gate, surrounded by guards and soldiers, guarding front and back.

Inside the door stood an old man and a young man, the old one looked to be fifty or sixty years old, with gray hair, even his beard was a little gray, and the younger one was probably his grandson, only less than ten years old, still a child, eyebrows, eyes and facial features, and the old man was somewhat similar. The old and the young all looked at the gate with vigilant eyes. In broad daylight, a person came in from the wall, and it was no wonder that people were suspicious.

In these years, the national army and devils have fought repeatedly, and there are really many people who recognize the military uniforms of the national army, and many ordinary people really recognize them, at least, it seems that this old man recognizes the military uniforms of these people. When the old man saw that it was an officer who came in, he took a step forward tremblingly, and clasped his hands into fists, "Is there anything wrong with your lordship?" "These soldiers are all armed with guns, who is not afraid to see them? The old man can ask this sentence fluently, which means that the old man's psychological quality is quite good.

"I was ordered by Shangfeng to come to the head of Xitang Township, I have official business to do, are you the head of the township?" Liu Xing looked at the old man, and saw that he was dressed up, and he didn't look like a state official?

"I'm not the township chief, our township chief is not here, I'm here to guard the door. Is there anything wrong with our township chief? ”

"Where is the village chief's house? You lead us to him! What I want to do, what can you do as a gatekeeper? Liu Xing pursed his lips disdainfully, this old man is very enthusiastic, but he has something to do, it would be good if he could help a little on the side, if he wants to be in charge, his identity is a little worse.

"The township chief has returned to the provincial capital. The Japanese were fighting by the Xinqiang River, and the adults wanted to find him, but it was difficult to do so. The old man shook his head in embarrassment.

Back to Changsha? This township chief is running very fast! Liu Xing was full of disappointment, and when he was about to turn around and leave, the child next to the old man spoke, "My grandfather is very respected in these townships, if you have anything to worry about, just ask my grandfather, he will definitely be able to help you." ”

This kid saw Liu Xing talking just now, and looked down on his grandfather a little, so he spoke up and fought for his grandfather. When the old man heard this, he hurriedly pulled his little grandson, "What nonsense are you talking about, little children!" first reprimanded the child, and then hurriedly smiled at Liu Xing, "Sir, don't be surprised, the child's family, talking nonsense, talking nonsense." I'll learn a lesson when I go back. "The current soldiers all carry guns, and they have a bad temper, and the local government can't control it, so it's not a joke to offend!

Liu Xing's eyes were firmly on the child, and he was thinking about what the child had just said: his grandfather was respected in several nearby townships, and he could help if he asked for anything! Who is this old man? I told him about this, can he help? Now it's too late to find that bullshit township chief, and he can't go all the way to Changsha to find someone. Forget it, a dead horse is a live horse doctor! Even if the old man can't help much, it's good to organize a few people to do it first!

"This old gentleman," Liu Xingxian said politely, begging someone to do something, the attitude that should be had is essential. "The Japanese invaded our land, causing the displacement of our people and the lack of preservation of their lives and property. In order to fight against the Japanese invaders, the commander led us to prepare for a decisive battle with the Japanese invaders here. Now it is necessary for the people to help destroy all the roads and paths in this vicinity, so that the devil's artillery chariots cannot pass. Liu was ordered by the chief to discuss this matter with the head of your township, but it was very unfortunate that the head of your township was not there. I don't know if this is a favor, can the old gentleman help? ”

After saying this, Liu Xing looked at the old man in front of him, if this old man could agree, his task would be half completed!

The old man touched his chin and knocked on his gray beard, looked at Liu Xing, and then at the group of soldiers beside him, "Our army, are you going to fight the little devils here?" How did I hear that Chief Xue led a large army, all south of the Xinqiang River? ”

This old man is really amazing! He even knew about Chief Xue! Liu Xing suddenly looked in awe of the old man. "Our troops were transferred from the north and were ordered to fight the Japanese north of the Xinqiang River!"

"Good! All right! If one person has something, brothers help each other! If there is an enemy situation in a war zone, all the surrounding war zones will come to help, so that the Japanese devils can be defeated! The chief is going to organize the people and destroy the road, and this problem is left to the old man! Please relax! As he spoke, the old man's face turned red, evidently excited.

"Sir, time waits for no one, but our chief wants me to handle it as soon as possible." Liu Xing was not at ease, and urged again.

"The old man knows, the soldiers are fast! Okay, I'll gather people for you!" As he spoke, the old man turned his face and entered the room, and after a short time, he walked out with a gong in his hand, "Please wait a moment, sir." After speaking, the old man walked out of the courtyard with the gong, "Bang! Boom! Boom! Boom! He stood at the gate of the courtyard and knocked open.

Don't look at Liu Xing when he came with people, no one came out in the vicinity, and when the old man struck the gong outside the courtyard, the nearby houses were boiling in an instant! Countless villagers walked out of their yards, looked in the direction of the township office, and discussed, I don't know what happened in the township, how can I sound the gong well?

After a while, hundreds of people gathered at the gate of the township office.

"Mr. Liu." "Uncle Liu, why did you ring the gong? What's wrong? These people who came over asked the old man who was beating the gong, and there were people in the distance who were rushing here one after another.

"Fellow villagers, list as fathers." Mr. Liu first hugged his fists, and then pointed at Liu Xing with his hand, "This is the commander of the national army, and he has come to our township to recruit people!" "It is said that at this time, it should be the excitement of the people below, and the villagers are asking in a mess, why are they recruiting people's husbands? The money for the last levy has not been paid yet, and so these chaotic voices are the main arguments. Liu Xing is also ready to speak in this situation, the division has an explanation, the recruitment of people is to give money, with money in hand, there is confidence in the waist, what promise dare not be allowed?

How do you know that the villagers here just listened quietly, and there was not even a single troublemaker, and they were orderly, and they were even more disciplined than the army.
