Seeing Liu Tianshu coming over from the reeds, Hao Mengxuan sat on the ground and looked at him and said, "Brother Tianshu, how is Susu?" ”

"It should be fine, what about him?" Seeing Jiang Xuezhu lying on the reeds, Liu Tianshu asked with concern.

"People are fine, but they are seriously injured." Hao Mengxuan said tiredly.

"It's okay, we can't stay here for long, we'll leave here later." Liu Tianshu glanced at the reed forest and said contemplatively.

At this moment, suddenly a voice broke off in the distance: "What person?" ”

When Liu Tianshu heard this, it turned out to be Hao Mengcheng, who was left in the distance, and he was shocked, and immediately took out the gun on his waist and looked over there.

Hao Mengxuan got up and quickly grabbed the gun on the ground.

Before the two of them could move, they heard the sound of the reeds around them, and then heard a low shout: "Don't move, raise your hands." ”

Liu Tianshu heard that he had been surrounded at this time, and with a roll of his eyes, he was just about to launch a counterattack when he heard a weak voice sound.

"Sister Tang Qing, is it really you?"

This voice turned out to be made by Jiang Xuezhu, who was lying on the ground, and the voice was full of excitement, as if a child who had been wronged suddenly saw his relatives.

Dare to feel that these people who suddenly surrounded him knew Jiang Xuezhu, and Liu Tianshu's movements immediately stopped.

As soon as Jiang Xuezhu's voice fell, he saw a figure quickly snatching in front of him, running to Jiang Xuezhu, and then he heard a voice trembling and said: "Xuezhu, you are still alive, you are really still alive." ”

"Sister Tang Qing, they saved me and Su Su." Although Jiang Xuezhu was weak at this time, his mind was extremely clear, and he looked at Liu Tianshu and Hao Mengxuan gratefully.

The person standing in front of Jiang Xuezhu turned around, and suddenly, a girl with short ear-length hair and a pair of big eyes flashing with fortitude appeared in front of Liu Tianshu.

At the same time, several men who were originally holding guns at Liu Tianshu and Hao Mengxuan quietly lowered the guns in their hands, and as for Hao Mengcheng, who was held against them with a gun, he was also let go in their embarrassed expressions at this time.

"You saved Xuezhu and Susu? What about Su Su, where is she? Tang Qing heard Jiang Xuezhu say that the two soaking men in front of him saved him and Su Su from the deep pool, and suddenly looked at Liu Tianshu with tears in his eyes and asked eagerly.

"Sister Tang Qing, I'm here." As a faint voice sounded, Su Su staggered over to the side wearing a man's shirt.

When Tang Qing heard Su Su's voice, his brain suddenly buzzed, he turned around and pounced, hugged Su Su, and cried bitterly.

At this time, the middle-aged man who was standing quietly on the side spoke: "Comrade Tang Qing, thanks to the two strong men who rescued each other, now that Jiang Xuezhu and Su Su are out of danger, I think we should leave here as soon as possible, otherwise the Ma family will know about it, and this matter will be troublesome." ”

Hearing the middle-aged man's reminder, Tang Qing wiped the tears on her face, and her body returned to its previous strength, she looked at Liu Tianshu and said, "This strong man is your surname, thank you for saving them." ”

"You're Tang Qing, right? I heard the villagers of Shiquan Town mention you, this time to save them, it is also a coincidence, a gesture of effort, not enough to worry about, my name is Liu Tianshu, this is my second brother Hao Mengxuan. Since you are here, they will be left to you to take care of, and I have something to do, so I will leave first. Liu Tianshu saw that Tang Qing and them were coming, so he didn't need to worry about how to settle Jiang Xuezhu and Su Su, I believe that with Tang Qing's reputation in Shiquan Town, it should not be difficult to properly settle Jiang Xuezhu and Su Su.

At this time, Liu Tianshu only heard Tang Qing and the middle-aged man be called comrades, so he guessed that they should be the Communist Party, but he didn't know that Tang Qing returned to Shiquan Town this time as the Communist Eighth Route Army.

They were on the empty dam just now, if they hadn't encountered Jin Suijun and those policemen to get in the way, maybe they would have saved Jiang Xuezhu and Su Su.

"Brother Liu, if your affairs are not urgent, just stay in Shiquan Town for a day or two. You risked your lives to save Jiang Xuezhu and Su Su, we are not grateful, so let's toast you. Tang Qing heard that Liu Tianshu was about to leave immediately, and immediately said sincerely.

The middle-aged man standing on the side also said at this time: "Brother Liu, Jiang Xuezhu is our comrade, you risked your life to save them, you are our friends, let's find a place to have a good drink, if you refuse, you will look down on us." ”

Speaking of which, Liu Tianshu couldn't insist anymore, thought about it and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then our brothers will bother you." ”

Seeing that Liu Tianshu agreed, Tang Qing immediately called a man to help Jiang Xuezhu on his back, and a woman came over to carry Su Su and quickly left from the other end of the reed.

When he walked out of the reed field, Liu Tianshu said that he still had a brother in the town, or let them go first and pick him up himself. Tang Qing and the middle-aged man glanced at each other, and the middle-aged man said enthusiastically that he would stay with Liu Tianshu and wait for his brother, and the rest of the people would leave here first.

After the two brothers of the Hao family followed Tang Qing, Liu Tianshu and the middle-aged man walked towards the town while talking.

When he walked to the east of the town, Liu Tianshu already knew that the middle-aged man's surname was Zhou Minggong, and according to him, he was a platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army, and this time he was ordered to take their platoon to follow Tang Qing to Shiquan Town to mobilize the masses to resist Japan.

After knowing that Zhou Jiangong turned out to be the platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army, Liu Tianshu immediately asked with great interest about the victory of Pingxingguan.

Zhou Jiangong, as the platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army, naturally heard from his superiors about this important news, but he only knew that the troops participating in the battle were the 115th Division, and he did not know how many devils he had eliminated.

"Brother Zhou, your Eighth Route Army is really good, as soon as you come up, you give the little devil a head-on blow, let the little devil know that we Chinese are not easy to mess with." Liu Tianshu said excitedly.

"Hehe, Brother Liu, you may not know that our Communist Party is resolutely anti-Japanese. When we came out of northern Shaanxi this time, our chief said that Japanese imperialism is the mortal enemy of the Chinese nation, and we will join hands with the people of all nationalities throughout the country to resist the enemy and never withdraw our troops until we defeat Japanese imperialism. Zhou Jiangong said proudly.

"Brother Zhou, I know the ideas of your Communist Party, and when I was in Beiping, I also knew a lot of your people, and to be honest, I respect them very much. On the way from Beiping to Wuyang County, I saw with my own eyes that your people, in order to protect those college students and teachers who escaped from Beiping, rushed out without hesitation to fight the little devils. Liu Tianshu thought of the Communists he had met along the way, and said with respect.

"So, Brother Liu also came out of Beiping, I see that several of your brothers are armed with weapons, and they seem to be the only ones who look forward to you, Brother Liu was a soldier before?" Zhou Jiangong began to probe.

Being able to rescue Jiang Xuezhu and Su Su from the deep pool is not something that ordinary people can do, and he feels a familiar temperament from Liu Tianshu's body, the temperament of an iron-blooded soldier who has experienced the baptism of war and blood.

When Liu Tianshu heard his words, he couldn't help but smile indifferently, "I'm not a soldier, but I just happened to encounter a war and fired two shots on the battlefield." ”

"In a war?" Zhou Jiangong was surprised when he heard it, seeing that Liu Tianshu was only in his twenties, and he didn't know who he met and who he was fighting with whom?

"Well, I can't compare with Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou is a veteran of the battlefield." Liu Tianshu smiled, and at this moment, Shi Qiang turned around from the side of the town, saw Liu Tianshu and a middle-aged man walking and talking, paused for a moment, and cautiously greeted him.

Seeing Shi Qiang, Liu Tianshu beckoned to him, waited for him to approach, and said to Zhou Jiangong: "Brother Zhou, this is Shi Qiang, a good brother of mine." Shi Qiang, this is the Zhou platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army. ”

When Shi Qiang heard Liu Tianshu's introduction, his eyes suddenly lit up. In Wuyang County, he heard that the Eighth Route Army had won a big victory, and he had long wanted to know these heroes, but now that the Eighth Route Army was in front of him, how could he not be excited?

"Brother Zhou, are you really the Eighth Route Army?" Shi Qiang asked excitedly.

"What, you don't believe it?" Zhou Jiangong couldn't help but laugh.

"No, no, since Brother Tianshu believes it, I naturally believe it, I didn't expect that I really saw the Eighth Route Army today, yes, why didn't you wear a military uniform?" Shi Qiang asked suspiciously.

"Haha, you little ghost is so funny, I wear this outfit because I have a mission." Zhou Jiangong was suddenly full of good feelings towards the somewhat embarrassed Shi Qiang in front of him.

After the three of them said a few words, Zhou Jiangong took the two of them and left Shiquan Town and walked towards a small mountain village five miles west of Shiquan Town.

When I entered a small courtyard in a mountain village, I saw several people wearing Eighth Route military uniforms busy in the compound, and there were two female Eighth Route soldiers among them. When these soldiers of the Eighth Route Army saw Zhou Jiangong coming in, they all stopped what they were doing, raised their hands to salute and shouted hello to the captain.

After Zhou Jiangong greeted these soldiers with a smile, he took Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang into the room on one side.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the two brothers of the Hao family, who were talking to Tang Qing and the others, turned their heads and saw Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang coming in, and immediately stood up, with a sincere smile on their faces.

"You're back? It's safe on the road, right? Seeing the three of them coming in, Tang Qing stood up and said to Zhou Jiangong while pouring water.

"Safety, now the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are cooperating to resist Japan, and the Jin Sui Army is also a friendly army, even those people in the Ma family dare not do anything to us." Zhou Jiangong smiled and said.

Tang Qing handed the water in his hand to Liu Tianshu and Zhou Jiangong, and after they sat down, he said, "Brother Liu, Jiang Xuezhu and Su Su have been settled, thank you so much for this." You don't know how happy my comrades and I were when we learned that Jiang Xuezhu and Su Su were rescued by you. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Qing's eyes filled with tears.
