Chapter Eighty-Five: Little Hinoki Creek Village (3)

The rope is really strong enough, and it took a lot of effort for the second leper to untie the rope on Chen Liu's body.;.

"Much~Thank you~" Chen Liu gasped and gently rubbed the rope marks on his arm, "You hurt me today, and you saved me, let's clear up." ”

The second leper snorted, "You think I really want to save you, it's not that I can't get out, find someone to discuss together." ”

He slammed on the door with his foot, "I am used to being free, and I absolutely do not want to be imprisoned and serve hard labor like the soldiers of the Green Battalion." ”

Although the second leper used a lot of force, the door only shook slightly.

"If my body is to serve hard labor, I will not live long!"

Chen Liu sighed, looked out through the crack in the door, there was no figure in the public hall, he knocked lightly on the door panel, "This is camphor wood, kick it twice with your foot, maybe it will work." ”

Under a common threat, the two seriously opposed men formed a temporary alliance.

"Is there anyone out there, I'm going to pee!"

The second leper yelled twice.

Chen Liu's ears pricked up, but he didn't notice any movement, "There's no one in the public office, kick it hard!" ”

The second leper raised his foot and kicked hard, "Knock! The door shook violently.

The movement was a bit loud, and the two lepers hurriedly stopped. The two listened with their ears pricked up, but there was no movement in the public hall, and the propaganda team outside the public hall was still explaining the slide.

The second leper breathed a sigh of relief and gently pushed the door. Okay, the door seems to be loose!

The door hinge pressed on the ground was too old, and it was a little loose by the kick of the second leper just now.

The two of them couldn't help but feel a burst of joy, and their four hands grabbed the inner edge of the door panel and pulled it hard.

One, two, three ~~~~, the hinge is getting looser and looser.

"One last time!" The two of them worked together, and the door shaft fell off at once.

The second leper and Chen Liu carefully removed the door panel, and came to the public hall with their waists, and the people outside were all watching the slide show.

Chen Liu was more clever, and he went directly to the back room of the public house. There was a window in the back gable, and he opened it and jumped out with both hands. The second leper also followed closely behind and climbed through the window.

The two of them stumbled west along the root of the wall, turned south, and came to the south of Xiaojunxi Village.

"Stop!" The second leper who was walking behind shouted softly, he stopped, clinging to the wall, a little nervous, "This is the southern piece where you Fujian people live." ”

"What are you afraid of!" Chen Liuman didn't care, "Everyone is watching the slide show at the entrance of the village." ”

The second leper patted his head, "It's true, there is no movement in the streets and alleys!" ”

The two walked south along the alley to the southernmost part of the village.

One side of Xiaojunixizhuang is facing the water, and the other three sides are all made of bamboo as the wall. The shape of the village is like a figure-8, and neither the south nor the north can go out.

The two lepers and Chen Liu couldn't go to the entrance of the village, and they couldn't climb over the bamboo wall, so they could only wade out of the village.

The moon had already risen, and seeing the sparkling water of the small juniper stream, Chen Liu stopped and turned his head to look at the village behind him, which was where he grew up.

Chen Liu sighed with emotion, "As soon as you run out from here, you can no longer stay in the Taoyuan Realm." ”

"I've thought about this a long time ago, Taipei is the territory of the Ming army, and if you want to survive, you can only run in the direction of Tainan." The second leper bent down and rolled up his trousers, he touched his pocket and spat on the ground, "Drop his mother, all my money has been searched, and there is not even a copper plate on my body." ”

"How can I go to Tainan without money!" Chen Liuyi sat on the ground and said angrily, "I lost all my money." ”

The second leper looked around and saw a big mansion near the river, "Let's go, get him a vote!" ”

Chen Liuyi grabbed his shirt, "This is Liu Minyi's home, what do you want to do!" ”

"At this time, what do you care about Fujian and Cantonese people, you are crazy!" The second leper scolded, "People don't kill heaven and earth for themselves." If you don't get his vote, we'll all end up. ”

Chen Liu was scolded, hesitated, and followed the two lepers into the courtyard over the wall. After a while, the two of them each carried a burden and turned it out together.

Chen Liu's body was thin and small, and his movements were very flexible, and he climbed out of the courtyard wall in one fell swoop. The second leper was a little bloated, and the burden on his body was also a little big, and when he climbed over the wall, his feet slipped, and the person and the package fell outside the courtyard wall together.

"Lose his mother, why is his luck so bad tonight." The second leper scolded and picked up the package.

In the moonlight, several large haystacks leaning against the courtyard wall were swarthy.

The second leper touched his body, the fire sickle is still there, before leaving, it should be no problem to set the fire!

The mountain wind blows the bamboo forest, making a rattling sound.

Chen Liu couldn't help but feel a little weak, he timidly looked at the shaking of the branches around him, and came to the river with the package on his back in three steps and two steps, "Hurry up, I'll cross the river first!" ”

"It's coming, it's coming!" The two lepers quickly took out a fire sickle and shot a spark, igniting a haystack. At night, when the wind was strong, the flames rose all at once.

He grabbed the burning straw and was about to throw it over the courtyard wall, when a pair of strong hands hugged him tightly.

The second leper was startled, and he didn't have time to struggle, and he was thrown to the ground in one fell swoop.

A steel gun was held against his head, "Don't move, I'll kill you!" ”

The second leper was lying on the ground, and he glanced around by the light of the fire, a person who looked like a Ming army raised a gun to himself, and a person who looked like a Ming army was fighting the flames with a branch, and Chen Liu, who was by the river, was gone.

It's broken, the Ming army is chasing after it, but fortunately, it is Xiaojunxi not far away.

The second leper learned the tone of Fujian official dialect and said with a smile, "I don't move!" I don't move! ”

Saying that, he suddenly rolled on the spot, and when he got up, he wanted to drill into the water.

"Bang!" With a shot, the second leper felt something hit his leg, and his feet went limp, so he fell to the ground.

Hearing the gunshots, Jiao Changfa immediately asked the two villagers to appease the people, and he led people to run over quickly.

Approaching the river, Jiao Changfa smelled the smell of burning straw in the air, he was a spirit, where was the fire?

Suddenly, a short, powerful voice sounded in the darkness, "Stop, password!" ”

Password? Is it his own person on the other side!

Jiao Changfa was stunned for a moment, remembering the "December Password Table" issued at the beginning of the month, it seems that it should be "61" today, right?

"Password 6, reply order?"

"Order 1!"

Several soldiers escorted the second leper and Chen Liu out of the darkness, "It's the comrades of the working group, we are from the Taoyuan Garrison Company." ”

The circumference of Taoziyuan Castle is about more than four miles, and there are Gyeongbokgung Palace, Chenghuang Temple in the castle, and the Qing Barracks is located on the edge of the castle.

After the Ming army entered Taoyuan, Taoziyuan was renamed Taoyuan Town, which was designated as the location of Taoyuan County Government.

Xiaohuixizhuang is less than ten miles away from Taoyuan, and three gunshots across the night sky immediately aroused the vigilance of Taoyuan County.

"Why is there a gunshot in the direction of Xiaojunxi Village?"

Bao Desheng heard the gunshots, and his whole body suddenly itched. He immediately reported to the direction of Keelung, and asked for instructions to send troops to search and investigate the situation.

Garrisoned in Taoyuan County was a unit of four battalions and three companies, and the company commander Huang Pengfei and other Ming cadres went to Keelung, and the three companies were temporarily commanded by deputy company commander Bao Desheng.

After getting Keelung's affirmative answer, Bao Desheng left the second and third rows to protect the county office, and personally took the first row into the black.

Bao Desheng and the soldiers had just come to the Xiaojuni Creek, and happened to see Chen Liu secretly wading in the water, and the two lepers setting fire to the back.

So the soldiers immediately knocked Chen Liu unconscious and stopped the sabotage of the second leper in time.

After listening to Bao Desheng's introduction, Jiao Changfa felt afraid for a while, how did he let these two guys escape! Fortunately, Bao Desheng arrived in time, and if he really let the two lepers and Chen Liu put the fire up, this night would be dark and windy, and Xiaohuixi Village would be completely destroyed.

Hearing that the second leper and Chen Liu ran away, the second leper also set fire to the south of the village, and the Min people on the site at the entrance of the village immediately ran south like a flood breaking the embankment, and after a while, the people flowed back again.

"Before the fire burned, it was extinguished by the Ming army!"

"The second leper and Chen Liu have been caught!"

"The second leper was crippled by the Ming army!"

These latest news quickly spread throughout the audience, and all the Fujian and Cantonese people exploded.

Now that the west wind is strong, this fire is really going to burn, although the south of Xiaojunixizhuang has become a ruin, and the fire borrows the wind, and the northern part of Xiaohuixizhuang will inevitably suffer.

The Min people let out an angry cry, "Kill the two lepers!" Kill the two lepers! ”

The Cantonese over there also roared, "Kill Chen Liu!" Kill Chen Liu! ”

The Ming army parted the angry crowd and escorted the limping Erlezi and Chen Liu to the front of the venue.

Liu Minyi learned that his home had been ransacked and almost burned down. He saw Jiao Changfa fall to his knees with a thud, "Thank you to the court!" Thanks to Ming Jun! Thanks to the Working Group! ”

Looking at Liu Minyi's heart-rending shout, Zhuang Changliu also sighed a little, this Ming army is really a god, just in time for the two lepers to set fire, like a divine soldier descending from the sky to the village.

Jiao Changfa hurriedly helped Liu Minyi up, "We are the revolutionary force led by the Chinese Renaissance Party, and it is our bounden duty to serve the Chinese nation wholeheartedly." ”

Standing in front of the venue, Jiao Changfa took the opportunity to sell the theory of the Chinese rejuvenation revolution to the people of Xiaohuixizhuang.

Liu Minyi and Zhuang Changliu had heard these big truths many times before, but they listened to them and never took them to heart. This time, the common people felt different, they heard it very seriously and attentively.

"In ancient times, the Tangwu Revolution was to overthrow the brutality of the Emperor, and it was up to heaven and man. Our revolution is to get rid of the decadent Manchu system, eliminate all reactionaries, make China strong and prosperous, and let the people live a happy life. ”

Jiao Changfa pointed at the two lepers and Chen Liu, who were paralyzed on the ground, "Although these two scum are also Han Chinese, they are the lackeys of the Tartars!" They fanned the flames everywhere to cause sabotage, and they were willing to die for the Tartars, and the court would definitely give them a stern punishment! ”

There was a burst of cheers on the field.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Zhuang Changliu suddenly woke up from his dream, not good! The second leper and Chen Liu ran away from the small black house of the public party again!

When he sat up, he realized that it was a dream.

Zhuang Changliu laughed at himself, how could it be! A platoon of troops was stationed in the village, and the second leper and Chen Liuna could not escape.

Before Zhuang Changliu got up, Zhang Hongtou came to report, saying that in the second half of last night, the county government sent three people, and after they came, they interrogated Erlezi and Chen Liu overnight.

"What did you ask?"

Zhuang Changliu was very surprised, the second leper and Chen Liu did not have any major cases, do they need to be arraigned overnight!

Zhang Hongtou shook his head again and again, indicating that he did not know. He said that after the county government came, the Ming army also set up a cordon at the entrance of the village, and the members of the joint defense team were all driven back to rest. It's just that I heard that the second leper and Chen Liu have been howling until the morning, and the people around the village entrance have not slept well.

And things like that!

The case of Erlezi and Chen Liu is clear, what does the Ming Dynasty want him to explain?

Zhuang Changliu couldn't sit still anymore, he had to hurry to the public office to find out the reason.
