When the group of people arrived in front of the Land Temple, with the wave of the tall man's big hand, the people who followed him immediately quickly dispersed, and in the blink of an eye, the entire Land Temple was surrounded.

These people are fast-moving, quick-moving, and at first glance well-trained.

"Family wealth, are you sure the person who handed over your gun is inside?" A cold voice rang out.

At this time, the sky was not bright, and if I didn't get close, I still couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, but listening to this voice, I dared to say that Cao Jiacai had found a helper.

"Battalion Commander Sun, it was here that my brothers and I met him an hour ago." Cao Jiacai bent slightly and said.

"Dare to hand over the guns of our 143rd Division, I think he is tired of life. Brothers, give it to me, and I'll see how many eyes he has. The battalion commander surnamed Sun shouted viciously.

Then, the hidden gate of the Land Temple was kicked away, and several figures rushed in.

However, these people are fast in and out.

"What? No one in there? The battalion commander surnamed Sun asked through gritted teeth.

"Yes, the barracks, there is no one in it, only a fire that has not yet been burned. However, depending on the time, it should not be far. A capable soldier stood in front of the battalion commander surnamed Sun and said.

"Camp Commander Sun, he can't run far, why don't you let the brothers look around again?" Cao Jiacai's worry became a fact, and he said a little unwillingly.

He was confiscated by Liu Tianshu in the Land Temple, and he was reprimanded again, and he was already resentful in his heart. After leaving the Land Temple, I didn't expect that my luck was so good, and I actually ran into Sun Guolei, the commander of the first battalion of the 276th Regiment who retreated here.

Although Cao Jiacai is not from the same battalion, after all, in a regiment, the two still know each other.

At this time, Cao Jiacai seemed to see a savior, and ran up to Sun Guolei to add fuel and vinegar to the story, Sun Guolei heard that Cao Jiacai was actually disarmed, and did not hesitate to take the troops, under the leadership of Cao Jiacai, rushed to the Land Temple.

It's a pity that the house is empty.

Seeing that the sky was already bright, Sun Guolei pondered for a moment and said: "Even if that kid's life is big, let us retreat south immediately and join the main force at the upper peak, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, there will be opportunities in the future." Let's go, let's withdraw. ”

Yesterday afternoon, Sun Guolei had an encounter with a small group of Japanese troops, fortunately he retreated in time, but Rao was like this, and when he ran all the way to Songyang Town, he still lost more than 20 brothers. If you stay in Songyang Town any longer, you can't be sure that the little devil will chase after you.

Cao Jiacai saw that Sun Guolei had made up his mind, and the four of them alone did not dare to go to Liu Tianshu at all, so he had to stop at the moment, and with the only three remaining subordinates, he followed Sun Guolei to the south.

Just when Sun Guolei and the others evacuated Songyang Town, Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang and the mother and daughter had already walked to Tongjiaao, five miles southwest of Songyang Town.

Tongjiaao is a large village not far from Songyang Town, the whole village is located at the foot of the hill, a big road bypasses the edge of the village, there is still a little morning fog in the mountains, the whole Tongjiaao is in the early morning tranquility.

Standing under a big tree at the entrance of the village, looking at the village in front of him, Liu Tianshu, who was a little tired, motioned for a few people to take a break at the entrance of the village and eat something by the way.

After all, after walking dozens of miles of mountain roads, Rao is Shi Qiang often walks in the mountains, and he is still a little tired.

As for the mother and daughter, they recovered from their fright, and then walked for more than an hour, and at this time they were also weak, and they were all supported by a strong will.

Hearing Liu Tianshu's words, he naturally sat down on the stone bars under the big tree all of a sudden.

However, when Shi Qiang took out the nest head from the burden on his back and handed it over, the two of them still had their eyes lit up, and they took it and ate it in a big gulp.

Liu Tianshu looked at the mother and daughter while eating the nest. At this time, because it was already dawn, he found that the girl was very smart, not only with a small face and handsome, but also tall and slender.

No wonder that Cao Jiacai is interested in it.

As for the girl's mother, although she was middle-aged, she was still charming, and she was obviously a person who rarely did rough work.

After resting for more than ten minutes, Liu Tianshu saw someone in the village come out to carry water from the well on the side of the road, so he led a few people to greet him. When he arrived at the well, Liu Tianshu asked the direction of Shiqiao Village from the mouth of the man who was concentrating on drawing water, and then politely said goodbye and left.

On the way to Shiqiao Village, the girl may be because she is the same age as Shi Qiang, and the two of them whispered in the back, while Liu Tianshu walked forward while looking at the surrounding situation.

The middle-aged woman may have been grateful to Liu Tianshu for saving her life, and after carefully asking Liu Tianshu's name, she whispered that her maiden home was in Qingyan Town, Wuyang County, Western Hebei Province, and said that if Mr. Liu had the opportunity to visit Qingyan Town, he would definitely come to her house as a guest.

Her father's surname is Tian, and he is the patriarch of the Tian family in Qingyan Town, and he is also somewhat famous in the local area.

I talked all the way to Shiqiao Village.

Shiqiao Village is not much smaller than Songyang Town, with hundreds of families scattered along a small river with four or five stone bridges, a large road that runs from east to west along the river, and another avenue that runs through the village and crosses the river from south to north and disappears between the mountains in the distance.

Shiqiao Village is located on the main road from south to north.

It was about ten o'clock in the morning, and there were sounds in the village from time to time, and countless figures were busy in the fields outside the village.

Liu Tianshu saw a fellow coming with a hoe, so he stepped forward to inquire a few words, and then returned to the middle-aged woman and said: "Sister-in-law Lin, I inquired clearly, there is a carriage shop in front, they often have carriages to go to Linxian County in the west, let's go over and see if we can let them take a ride, as long as we get to Linxian, and then think about going to Wuyang." ”

"They're going to Linn County?" Sister-in-law Lin's eyes lit up.

Because her husband who was killed by the bomb was surnamed Lin, Liu Tianshu later called her sister-in-law Lin.

"I also listened to what the fellow said, let's go and inquire about the specifics." Liu Tianshu said with a smile.

When they arrived at the carriage and horse shop, they happened to have a carriage to Lin County today, and after Sister-in-law Lin told the shopkeeper the price, she said goodbye to Liu Tianshu and the two gratefully.

However, the careful Liu Tianshu still found that the girl named Lin Yao quietly waved her hand to Shi Qiang while her mother was not paying attention.

After sending Sister-in-law Lin's mother and daughter away, Liu Tianshu inquired about the location of Blacksmith Liu's blacksmith shop and rushed there with Shi Qiang.

Blacksmith Liu's shop is located at the entrance of the village in the west of the village, and several thick wooden pillars support a thatched shed, one side of the shed leans against the courtyard wall, and the other side facing the road is unobstructed, and a paving board is placed with hoes, axes and other farm tools. The other two sides were surrounded by straw mats made of reeds, apparently to keep out the cold wind. In the meantime, a sturdy middle-aged man was busy in the shop, and a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old was helping on the side.

Liu Tianshu walked to the side of the shop, looked at it and said, "Is Master Liu here?" ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Liu Tianshu, and asked quietly, "I am." ”

Liu Tianshu was wearing Shi Dashan's clothes, but when he wore the clothes of a villager, he still couldn't hide the bookish atmosphere all over his body.

"Zhao Laochong asked me to ask, did the long-handled sickle he asked you to fight well?" After Liu Tianshu confirmed that this person was Blacksmith Liu, he looked at him and said casually.

"Zhao Laochong's scythe?" Blacksmith Liu's eyes flashed, then returned to normal, and said with a smile: "It's already ready, I'll leave it at home, go, follow me in, I'll take it for you." ”

Blacksmith Liu asked the boy to take care of the shop, and took Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang into the courtyard on the side of the shop.

However, Shi Qiang entered the courtyard and did not follow Liu Tianshu and Liu Blacksmith into the house.

The two entered the house, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl brought a bowl of water and put it in front of Liu Tianshu, and then bowed her head and went out.

"Do you know Zhao Laochong? Who are you? What's wrong with him now? After the girl went out, Blacksmith Liu stared at Liu Tianshu with both eyes and said in a deep voice.

"He's been wounded, he's got a broken arm, and he's recovering from his injuries in a family in the mountains over there. My name is Liu Tianshu, and Zhao Xiaomei is there to take care of him. Liu Tianshu said calmly.

"What about the old ones who are with him?" Hearing that Zhao Dahai was only injured and broke his arm, Blacksmith Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard that Liu Tianshu didn't mention the other two, he couldn't help but ask anxiously.

"Lao He and the two of them have already died."

"All sacrificed." Blacksmith Liu's eyes suddenly moistened.

When Mr. Jiang and the others rushed to Shiqiao Village, he heard Mr. Jiang say about the situation of encountering little devils, and he was worried about Zhao Dahai and them, and Zhao Dahai did not come to him for a few days, and he had already made the worst plan in his heart.

Now that he knows that it was just Lao He and the two who sacrificed, Zhao Dahai and Zhao Xiaomei were fine, and his hanging heart was finally half relieved.

"By the way, Master Liu, Uncle Zhao asked me to ask, Teacher Jiang, are they okay?" Liu Tianshu remembered Zhao Dahai's command and asked in a low voice.

"They have gone to the west, there are people to take care of them on the road, you let Lao Zhao rest assured, tell him to just recuperate from his injuries in peace, and I will go to see him in two days." Blacksmith Liu thought for a while and said.

The two talked in the room for a while, and Blacksmith Liu sent Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang out of the courtyard and watched the two leave.

Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang were about to walk to Tongjiaao along the avenue leading to Songyang Town, when they suddenly heard two crisp gunshots in front of them.
