Section 10: Reconnaissance
Shipai Village is not small, although it is not as good as Fangcun and Liucun on the edge of Guangzhou, but it is also a big village within a radius of ten miles, and it is the only way for Guangzhou to go to the west of Yuzhu Fort and Humen Fort.
For hundreds of years, the villagers of Shipai Village have basically lived a life of saying out and doing and resting, but there are some new things this year, first the militia group for decades said that it was dispersed, and then came to help people say what the peasant association, what exactly does this peasant association The villagers are not very clear, some people say that it is similar to the previous militia group, but it has changed its owner, and soon there are really a few restless boys in the village to start a peasant association. However, this peasant association is really a little different from the previous militia group, the previous militia chattered all day long, but no one cared about the common people when they were in trouble.
In the first two months, there was a group of soldiers in gray uniforms, these years the soldiers and bandits are like hair, what kind of soldiers have not been seen, the former Shen Dashuai, Mo Dujun, later Chen Dujun, Generalissimo Sun; These soldiers fought over and over, but they did not see them decrease, but they were robbed of a lot of their own things. The villagers gradually found that these gray military uniforms were also a little different, because they bought things and gave money, and they gave money according to the price, even if they drank a bowl of tea at the widow Mo at the head of the village, it was really a strange thing, who had given those soldiers before; In addition, they are more than those soldiers, and every time I see them, they are dressed very well, unlike those soldiers who are crooked and falling, and they can't walk steadily. Later, the people of the peasant association said that this was a student soldier of Whampoa, and they were all talents, so they were dragged to be soldiers, what kind of world is this!
Yesterday, these students came to the village again and said that they wanted to act here, but they didn't go to the village stage to act, but they dug a ditch around the village, where to dig a hole, I really don't know if these students were beaten out of their brains in the team.
What do the villagers think in their hearts, the soldiers of the teaching regiment don't know, now they are busy arranging their positions, if something goes wrong, which company commander of the red-faced hall will definitely not be able to spare them, at least they will have to eat two whips.
In the afternoon, from the direction of Yangcun, I came to take a sedan chair, followed by a thin middle-aged man with a yellow face, carrying a burden, and from time to time to accompany the people on the sedan chair with a few smiles.
The soldier at the village checkpoint stopped the sedan chair, and the middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward and nodded and said, "Hello sir, sir, hard work." He handed over a pack of cigarettes.
Soldier A (Long Tao naturally has no name) reached out to stop the hand holding the cigarette and asked, "Where did you come from and where are you going?" ”
"Sir, we are from Shahe Town, we are going to Longkou Village, my nephew has fallen into evil spirits, please ask the fairy aunt to exorcise the evil spirit."
"Oh?" The soldier raised his eyes to look at the fairy girl sitting in a sedan chair, the fairy girl was wearing an emerald green jacket, although the weather was already a little cold, but she was wearing a bright red skirt on her lower body, her head was full of flowers, and her face was snow-white; Seeing that the soldier was looking at her, the fairy girl threw a wink at the soldier and made a smile to the soldier: "Sir, the slave family is the most effective to invite God, do you want the slave family to invite the commander too." The powder on his face fell down as he spoke, and the soldier's stomach churned, and he felt a chill in his heart, and scolded: "Go, go, you have fallen into evil." He waved his hand to let the sedan chair go quickly.
Immortal Gu raised her body and said to the soldier: "If the chief wants to invite the gods in the future, even if you go to Shahe to find me He Xiangu, the gods invited by the slave family will be effective, and in the past, Chief Ye was still the god invited by the slave family." As he spoke, his eyes flickered to the place where the bunkers were being built and the crowd digging trenches.
The middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward and said to the fairy aunt: "Grandma fairy aunt, your old man should say a few words." Don't go quickly", urging the sedan chair driver to hurry.
Soldier A looked at the bush of flowers that was lying with the sedan chair, and spat fiercely: "Damn, bad luck." ”
Soldier B smiled: "Why don't you let her exorcise evil spirits for you?" ”
Soldier A glared and scolded: "You kid just fell into the evil spirit, and he was shot in two days before he went to the battlefield." ”
"What are you yelling, be careful to let the company commander hear." After speaking, the person who came asked again, "Who was there just now?" ”
"Report to the squad leader, a goddess."
"Oh, goddess, what's the fuss, stand guard."
The fairy girl felt that the fairy spirit was a little offended, so she was a little unhappy, and muttered to the middle-aged man while walking, at the door of Widow Mo's tea shop, the fairy girl stopped, and had to take a sip of tea before leaving, and the middle-aged man had no choice but to follow her wishes.
The countrymen were very afraid of the fairy girl, and Widow Mo respectfully invited the fairy girl into the shop, quickly moved the only chair in the store, and wiped the handkerchief in her hand twice before inviting the fairy girl to sit down.
After the fairy girl sat down, Widow Mo brought two tea bowls, a bowl of tea on the island diligently, put a bowl in front of the fairy girl, and brought a bowl to the middle-aged man.
"This tea is good, I'll draw you a talisman later, you burn it, then your tea is not only good, but also cures all diseases." The fairy girl said and picked up the tea bowl.
Widow Mo said: "How dare you be in love, but the small shop is small, and I am afraid that I can't afford to invite the fairy aunt." He said kindly: "Fairy Gu, be careful." ”
The fairy girl was stunned for a moment, and looked at Widow Mo a little inexplicably, and Widow Mo whispered a little embarrassed: "That powder..." Or I'll give you another bowl. ”
The middle-aged man suddenly showed a very painful look, biting his lip, covering his stomach with one hand, and bending down, Widow Mo hurriedly asked, "Brother, what's wrong, that's uncomfortable?" ”
"No..., no...., nothing." The middle-aged man lowered his head and waved his hand with difficulty.
"I think he's evil." Fairy Gu said coldly.
"Palm... Shopkeeper, you Mao... Where's the thatched house? The middle-aged man asked painfully, holding his stomach. Widow Mo hurriedly said, "It's just behind, junior, come and lead the uncle to the thatched house." ”
A seven or eight-year-old child ran out of it and led the middle-aged man to the back.
At this time, walking past a group of patrolling soldiers, Widow Mo beckoned: "Brother, do you want to drink saliva, don't want money." ”
The leading soldier smiled and looked back: "No, thank you, auntie." ”
"Why are these soldiers so polite, where did they come from?" Fairy Gu asked.
"You don't know this, this is a student boy's soldier." A tea guest next to him interjected.
"Student?"
"That's right, those student boys' soldiers are different from the soldiers of Mo Dujun and Commander Yang before, the military discipline is strict, whoever wants to eat and take indiscriminately will be whipped."
"If the slave family doesn't believe it, there is no such soldier in the world."
"I don't believe it, yesterday I also saw a black-red-black student teach a soldier, if it wasn't for someone next to him to persuade him, which soldier would be whipped."
"Really?" The fairy girl stretched out her voice, he knew who it was, and the whole school had such a face.
"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes."
The middle-aged man came out from behind, looking much better. stepped forward respectfully: "Fairy Gu, we should go, my little nephew is still waiting." ”
The fairy girl said coldly: "Bring the burden, I want to make up some powder." ”
Widow Mo trembled all over, such a thick powder, and it was replenished.
The troops moved from the Yuzhu Fort to Zhucun, and after the defense was seriously arranged, they became the shopkeeper and let the captains of several detachments under him play, he just came to check at any time and scored by the way.
In the afternoon, several detachment commanders who had seriously stayed at home called for a meeting with the command headquarters, and the director department was very dissatisfied with their lack of action until now, and had already inquired about the situation several times, and his tone became more and more severe each time. However, the enemy's situation was unknown, and no one dared to move, so they had to reply seriously and wait for the reconnaissance personnel to return and start moving. Now the scouts sent out are all back, just waiting for the most important Chen Geng.
When Jiang Xianyun walked to the gate of the headquarters, he saw a sentry stopping a goddess, but the goddess was arrogant and shouted in a coquettish voice: "The slave family heard that you have someone here who has fallen into evil spirits, and I am here to exorcise evil spirits for him." ”
The middle-aged man next to him stood aside and saw Jiang Xianyun coming, and smiled bitterly at him, Jiang Xianyun was a little funny: "This fairy girl, you must be mistaken, no one here is evil, this is the military headquarters, you should leave quickly." ”
"Why is there no one, the people who came to me said that there was a man named Jiang Xianyun and a man named Zhuang Jihua, and the two of them were evil. I'll exorcise evil spirits for them, at least twenty oceans. ”
"Huh?" Jiang Xianyun understood now, looked at the fairy girl carefully, and then looked at the middle-aged man nodded, and said: "Jiang Xianyun is not evil, there is a person named Chen Geng and Zhuang Jihua who have been evil, you can exorcise evil spirits for them." ”
"Who said that. It is Jiang Xianyun and Zhuang Jihua. ”
"Nonsense, don't let her go." Hu Zongnan heard the noise, came out of the house, and when he saw the situation at the door, he was angry.
"Oh, the man also said that there is a man named Hu Zongnan who is also in a state of madness, and the ghost has already taken his body."
The fairy girl walked inside as she spoke, and the sentry tried to stop him, but Jiang Xianyun signaled for him to let him go.
Hu Zongnan couldn't help but be furious when he saw that the fairy aunt actually walked in with a swagger: "What kind of place is this, you dare to trespass, come and drive her out." ”
"If you kick him out, I'm afraid we won't be able to sing the show." Jiang Xianyun said with a smile.
"Oh, Wushan, this is" Hu Zongnan noticed that Jiang Xianyun was actually following behind the Immortal Gu.
"Let's go in, Shoushan, everyone is here. It's time for us to do something. Jiang Xianyun said to Hu Zongnan with a smile.
Hu Zongnan looked at Jiang Xianyun and then at the fairy girl, and suddenly realized: "Okay, you Chen Geng, you still have a spirit to be weird." ”
"Ha, ha..." Chen Geng laughed
The serious Li Zhilong, Zhuang Jihua and others of the command headquarters were a little stunned when they saw Chen Geng, Jiang Xianyun and Hu Zongnan coming in, and Chen Geng loudly announced that I was back, and everyone reacted, Li Zhilong smiled: "I just saw you come in, I was still thinking, Wushan, Shoushan is too anxious, Chen Geng can't come back and we will attack at night, so we don't need to invite the goddess to dance the god." ”
Everyone laughed, Chen Geng tore off the wig on his head, and said with a smile: "My goddess is not here to exorcise evil spirits, but to exorcise people." Then he went to the water tank in the corner of the house, scooped out two ladles of water, poured them into the basin, buried his head in the basin and rubbed it tightly, then poured out the water in the basin, scooped up two more scoops, took the soap, and smeared it on his face. After he finished washing his face, Fan Hanjie brought a bowl of water: "Hard, hard, drink saliva first, and then talk about the rest slowly." ”
When the middle-aged man saw Chen Geng holding the bowl, he couldn't hold back any longer, holding his stomach and laughing wildly, Li Zhilong asked puzzledly: "Yin Guo, what's wrong?" ”
Song Xilian pointed at Chen Geng and laughed speechlessly: "Ha, ha, he....ha, ha, he.... ”
Chen Geng's face turned red, and he said to him anxiously: "Song Xilian, you have to say it, I have to clean you up." ”
Only then did everyone know that there was a hidden intention, and a burst of questioning, including the seriousness of the curiosity.
Song Xilian laughed wildly, and intermittently told the matter of Widow Mo's tea shop.
Now the whole room was laughing wildly, even the steady Jiang Xianyun was lying on the table and couldn't help twitching, Li Zhilong grabbed Fan Hanjie's shoulder and laughed, Fan Hanjie held the table with one hand and his stomach with the other, Zhuang Jihua stood there and finished laughing, only a serious smile on his face, and said in his mouth: "Okay... Alright, okay, Song Xilian, go wash it. ”
Chen Geng stared at Song Xilian with fierce eyes at first, and soon burst out laughing.
Zhuang Jihua finally stopped and said, "Chen Geng, you don't have to be so disgusting." ”
Chen Geng said angrily: "Do you think I want to, those boys on the other side don't know me, don't be disgusting, I can come back." ”
Everyone laughed again, and Zhuang Jihua said with a smile: "In view of Chen Geng's sacrifice, we decided not to use him, and his military salary was saved." ”
Ha ha....
Seeing that it was too bad, he couldn't make any more trouble, so he hurriedly stopped everyone and asked, "Chen Geng, tell me about the situation of Shipai." ”
"The enemy army in Shipai is close to about two hundred people, the commanders are Guan Tiequan and Zhang Yaoming, one of the platoons is about fifty people deployed in Shigang, there is no enemy in Yang Village, there is a pontoon bridge set up by the enemy on Liedeyong, there is about a platoon of enemy troops on this side of the bridge, the situation on the other side of the river, I sent Leng Xin and the two of them."
….
Chen Gengbian said that Li Zhilong marked the map; After Chen Geng finished speaking, Li Zhilong finished marking.
Seriously look at the map, and say, "Now you have a plan." ”
