The first to arrive at Daorenji was Chen Laosi, the reconnaissance battalion commander who was closest to Daorenji. The regiment commander Shi Lei led the reconnaissance group to set off first, the scouts ran fast, could take shortcuts, and the road was far faster than the ordinary troops, and the journey from Xiushui to Daorenji was there, even if he was fast, he couldn't fly. Chen Laosi is different, from Yueyang to Daorenji, that is the distance from the city center to the suburbs. Battalion Commander Chen took the newly recruited Chen Zhanshui and a few of his men, as well as the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion under him, divided into several routes, quietly left Yueyang, and it only took less than an hour to touch Daorenji.

If the Chenglingji Wharf is deserted, the Daorenji Wharf can only be described as desolate. If it weren't for the long wooden stakes and iron rings on the edge of the pier, there would be no trace of the pier in this place. There were no fishing nets for the fishermen to dry, no fishing boats, no cargo boats, not even a ferry. Three or five of them, probably fishermen's children, were laughing and playing in the barren grass and mixed woods. There was an old man in a hat fishing by the river, and in the distance there was a small thatched-roof house, probably the residence of the fishermen, but the fishermen's boats did not know where they had gone.

"Brother, how's the harvest?" The commander of the reconnaissance battalion is a self-acquaintance, and when he came over, he talked to the old man who was fishing.

"Harvest, so-so. The family would be far from counting on my fishing rod to eat! The old man sighed, glanced at Chen Laosi, and continued to stare at his fish drift.

"Why don't you get a fishing boat? Isn't there also a fishing boat fishing at Dorenji Pier? Chen Zhanshui asked this. Although Boss Chen has been selling fish in Yueyang City for a long time, he still knows a little about Daorenji, which is not far from the city.

"Let me see how many fish you caught." As he spoke, he reached out and picked up the old man's fishing basket and looked inside, the old man continued to fish, and did not stop Chen Laosi's actions.

The fish basket was originally soaked in the river water, as soon as it left the water, the fish in it "crackled" and jumped open, and took a look inside, oh, there were twenty or thirty large and small pieces, and there were more than ten catties, but as the old man said, it was not enough to expect these fish to feed a family.

"Fishing boats? Originally, our family also had a fishing boat. But since the Japanese came, not to mention our family, there is not a single one of the dozens of fishing boats in the whole province of Renji. All of them were taken away by the devils! As the old fisherman spoke, his face showing deep helplessness and a hint of resentment.

"Yes, since the devil came, the life of the big guys has become sad!" Chen Zhanshui sighed sympathetically, "Hey, Chief Chen, where did you say that the devil took away the fishing boats?" Why are there no Japanese boats on the two piers of Seolyeongji and Doinji? Did they drive the boat out into the lake? "Dongting Lake is big, eight hundred miles of Dongting Lake, if the devil really drives the boat into the lake, you really can't find it.

"In the lake? Hehe. Chen Laosi sneered, "You are all natives of Dongting, and you don't stop the boat in the lake, how long has the devil been in Dongting Lake?" How much can they know about our 800-mile Dongting Lake? Stop in the lake? They'll have to find a place to park their boats, too! I guess your boat was scuttled and sunk into the lake by the devils! ”

A few people were talking, and suddenly a roar came from the river: "Woo——! Everyone was startled, and hurriedly looked up, only to see a small ironclad boat with a plaster flag floating on the river being passing a few hundred meters from the dock, a devil's small steamer! Seeing this little steamer, the old fishman hurriedly packed up the fishing rod and basket.

"Hey, brother, why don't you fish?" Chen Laosi was a little puzzled, it seems that the little steamer shouldn't come to collect management fees, right? How did this old man see the devil's little steamer so frightened that he didn't even dare to catch a fish?

"You are not a native of Daorenji, I don't know. The devil's little fire wheel is powerful. Last month, Yu Laosan was fishing by the river, and a small steamer came over, but Yu Laosan didn't take it seriously. Who knew that a string of machine guns came from the small steamer, and Yu Laosan was beaten into a hornet's nest on the spot! This little devil is evil, you have to hide when you see it, if you don't hide, maybe you will lose your life at any time! ”

"Brother, your whole family is counting on you to fish and feed by yourself? Is it enough to eat? The old man took the fishing gear but didn't leave, probably because he wanted to wait for the little steamer to leave before taking over the fishing. Chen Laosi wanted to talk to the old man more so that he could get more information about Dao Renji.

"How can I do it alone? My family has two sons and a daughter-in-law, plus my wife, a total of five people, how can these small fish I catch enough for five people to eat? My fishing is just a supplement, and the family mainly relies on two children to go out and work for others. In the past, when there were boats, the whole family would go down to the lake to fish, and life was much better back then than it is now. ”

"Oh no, Uncle Huang is not good!" A group of people were chatting by the dock, and a sturdy man came running briskly from a distance, and shouted at the sight of the fisherman by the river.

"What's wrong? Don't panic the puppy, what's wrong? The old man's face changed color, and he rushed over in a few steps and grabbed the man who ran over.

"Uncle Huang, your second child was about to be killed by Tian Jiaqi!"

"Dick? How could he mess with Tian Jiaqi? Where are the people? Lao Tiantou passed by the wind in the end, and although he was not flustered when he heard this, he immediately asked the little dog the key to the problem.

"Right at the west entrance of the fish market." The puppy reached out and pointed behind him.

"Brother Huang, let's go with you." Chen Laosi asked Old Man Huang as if asking for advice, and then turned to the strong man who came to report the news, "Dog leftover, you lead the way in front, let's go together to see what's going on, let's go!" "At the critical moment, Battalion Commander Chen showed that the reconnaissance battalion commander was decisive.

"Hey, hey." The dog promised again and again that he would not take a step, and looked at the old man Huang with his eyes inquiring, he didn't know what these people were doing, and he didn't dare to take people casually.

"If you let you go, you will go, what are you rubbing? Come on! As soon as Chen Laosi saw that this kid was not leaving, he immediately became angry, and his eyes roared as soon as he stared.

"Let's go, let's go. I'll just go. "The dog didn't dare to delay, turned around and ran away, this person is too fierce! It looked okay just now, but this glare, the dog was so big that a strong man was like a mouse who saw a cat, and he was numb at that time, and he involuntarily agreed to lead these people to the scene of the incident.

The fish market is not far from the dock, and if it is far away, the live fish will not be transported to death. That is, after running forward for less than a thousand meters, I saw more than a dozen people in front of me, and someone in the crowd was shouting: "I blinded you, I let you not know people!" With the shouting, there was also the sound of "popping", this voice Chen Laosi was familiar with, it was the sound of whipping people!

The second child of the Huang family is being whipped with a whip? Camp Commander Chen's eyes swept around and strode towards the crowd!
