Finally crossed the river safely, but including Old Man Han, all of them in Tang Cheng didn't know anything about the Jiang side, but fortunately, the sky was already bright at this time, and it was easy to find a local person to inquire about the situation. Tang Cheng also thought that it would be easy to find a local to inquire about the matter, but the development of the matter was somewhat unexpected by him, everyone walked inland along the river bank, and there was no one looking at it, and some of the crops near the river bank were almost deserted.

"Something is wrong" Lao Dongbei, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, and then put the rifle on his shoulder in his hand, Tang Cheng didn't speak, but just let the Han family father and son who were leading the horse slow down. Watching the old northeast stride forward, Tang Cheng once again regretted that he shouldn't have lost the telescope, if there would be a telescope in his hand, there would be no need for the old northeast to get close to investigate, find a high point and observe with a telescope to know the situation ahead.

The place where they went ashore in Tangcheng was the shore point where Ma Dapeng and his people used to carry smuggled goods, but there was no road here, and there was only a deserted wilderness, so they couldn't find a place to hide their bodies in Tangcheng for a while. Old Northeast traveled all the way west, along a deserted field, until he crossed a stream that was about to dry up, and Old Northeast found the source of the danger he had a premonition.

Lying lying in the sparse weeds by the stream, Lao Dongbei did not dare to move, and only more than 20 meters away from him, several Japanese soldiers in khaki military uniforms were sitting around eating together. The distance of more than 20 meters is nothing for Lao Dongbei, if it was in normal times, maybe he would immediately shoot these Japanese soldiers, but Lao Northeast did not dare to do this now, he was afraid that there would be other Japanese soldiers around here. There is a ridge behind the Japanese soldiers sitting together, which is why they dare to blatantly stay here to eat, and people in the distance can only see the ridge but not behind them.

Lao Dongbei didn't move on his stomach like a stone, he was still observing and waiting, and he waited until Tang Cheng, who was carrying the shell gun, also touched it, and then Lao Dongbei moved his body slightly and retreated into the stream. "There are 6 Japanese soldiers and 2 machine guns, and I wonder if there will be other Japanese soldiers nearby, and the little devils usually don't come out to move." Old Northeast lowered his voice and whispered to Tang Cheng, who also followed the route of Old Northeast Fang Cai and crouched in the grass by the stream to observe for a while.

Confirming that the situation was the same as what Lao Dongbei said, Tang Cheng subconsciously looked left and right, he wanted to find a suitable place to bypass here and do some reconnaissance. After looking around for a while, Tang Cheng didn't find a suitable place to come, but it was not a matter to wait here all the time, in case these Japanese soldiers found Liu Shishi and them who fell far behind, they would no longer be greeted by a waiting but a tragedy. Tang Cheng was about to look up from the weeds again, but was pulled by the old northeast beside him, the Japanese soldiers under the ridge seemed to have their stomachs full, and two of them had already gotten up and walked to the machine gun behind the ridge.

About half an hour passed, Tang Cheng, who was already sore, stretched out his hand to brush the flying insects on his face and continued to look forward, there were still 6 Japanese soldiers under the ridge, but they were all facing away from Tang Cheng at this time, they were lying on their stomachs under the ridge, their eyes were pointing in front of the ridge with the muzzle of the machine gun, Tang Cheng couldn't guess what these Japanese soldiers were hiding here and trying to do. Facts have proved that no matter what kind of puzzle there will always be a day to solve, just when Tang Cheng and Lao Northeast were struggling to hold on, a steel helmet suddenly appeared on the side of the ridge, and then a circle of steel helmets was revealed one after another, and dozens of Japanese soldiers with loaded guns turned over from the ridge.

"There is a squad of Japanese soldiers" Tang Cheng silently said what he wanted to say with his mouth to the old northeast, and the two quietly retreated into the stream along the way they came. If there are only a few Japanese soldiers here, it is nothing, but now the Japanese soldiers more than 20 meters away have a small formation, even if Tang Cheng and Lao Northeast can fight again, it is not the opponent of the Japanese army, and the plan for now is to leave this dangerous place immediately.

Tang Cheng and Lao Dongbei walked a distance of 100 meters downstream along the stream, and then went ashore and ran in the direction of Liu Shishi. "Let's go, we can't go any further, there are Japanese soldiers." Finding Liu Shishi and them hiding behind weeds and shrubs, Tang Cheng hurriedly urged Han Shanhu and his son to turn their horses' heads and march south. Tang Cheng did not know that since the Japanese army went north along the Yangtze River, small units of the Japanese army had appeared on both sides of the Yangtze River one after another, and fortunately they did not stop at Bijiazhou last night, otherwise they would have been captured by the Japanese army.

At the same time that the Japanese army took Bahe Town, the Japanese army sent more than a dozen infiltration troops to the other side of the river and in the direction of Xishui County. Hearing that there were Japanese soldiers in front, the father and son of the Han family also panicked, and immediately turned their horses' heads and went south along the riverbank according to Tang Cheng's instructions.

The children and sundries were on horseback, and the adults could only walk with them, but fortunately, except for the three of them in Tang Cheng, the three adults of the Han family all walked empty-handed, and without the burden of large bags and small bags on their bodies, everyone traveled a little faster. The group went south along the river bank for a few miles, and Liu Shishi, who was walking in the front, suddenly squatted down, and Lao Dongbei once again rushed forward with his own light.

"What's wrong?" Tang Cheng squatted down next to Liu Shishi and drew his gun to guard up, the father and son of the Han family couldn't help but tighten the reins of the mule and horse, and the woman who was also nervous even asked her pair of children to keep their mouths shut and not make a sound. Liu Shishi just whispered to Tang Cheng that there was someone in front of him, so he stopped talking, and just pointed the muzzle of the rifle forward, but Tang Cheng looked forward with enough eyes, and did not find the figure that Liu Shishi said.

Three or five minutes later, Lao Dongbei came back, still carrying a thin little boy in his hand. "This kid was mowing the grass in front, saying that there was a village not far ahead." The little boy who was brought back by Lao Dongbei glared at Tang Cheng and the three of them, Lao Dongbei came to Tang Cheng's side and lowered his voice and said, "This kid said that he lived in the village in front of him, I asked him about the rest, he didn't say, you come and ask him." ”

Lao Dongbei couldn't ask why, Tang Chengte was the same, but Liu Shishi was able to talk to the little guy, and he came and went, but asked something about the village. It turns out that the place where they are now belongs to Yangye Town, and the village where the little guy lives is called Lijiapu, and the nearest village to Lijiapu is Baisha Village. As long as they go south all the way south and bypass Shenjiawan, they can enter the boundary of Huahu Town, and continue south along Huahu Town to Huangshi.

"Dog, can you take us to your Li family shop to rest, these two little brothers and sisters are hungry, we have dry food with ourselves, we just want to go to your village to ask for hot water." After getting acquainted with the little boy named Goudan, Liu Shishi began to persuade Goudan to take them to Li's shop to rest according to Tang Cheng's hints. The dog who had been successfully bought by Liu Shi with two hard candies immediately nodded down, Li Shi gave him hard candy, in the young heart of the dog egg, Liu Shishi was obviously not a bad person.

Picking up the bale of grass cut by the dog egg and throwing it on his shoulder, Liu Shishi and the dog Dan walked in front of the road with a smile and a smile, followed by Liu Shishi was the Han family of 5, and Tang Cheng and Lao Northeast walked at the back. The Japanese squad found in Shuixi has been pressing heavily on Tang Cheng's heart, it is a small team of Japanese soldiers, if Yangye Town does not arrange the regular troops of the national army to garrison here, relying only on the local armed forces of Yangye Town, three or five hundred people may not be able to stop the Japanese team.

To tell the truth, when Tang Cheng was lying on the edge of the stream to observe those Japanese soldiers, he coveted the machine guns and mortars equipped with this Japanese squad, and the binoculars worn by the Japanese squad leader made Tang Cheng even more envious. If it weren't for his lack of manpower and hiding in Shuixi, Tang Cheng might have attacked this group of Japanese soldiers. Li's shop is not very far from the place where he met Goudan, and he can walk out of 2 miles away, Tangcheng saw a village from a distance, and Goudan also pointed to the village and told Liu Shi, that is Li's shop.

"Stop, who are you?" As soon as they walked to the entrance of the village, two men with big knives and shuttle darts blocked Tang Cheng's way, and the dog wanted to say that Liu Shishi was not a bad person, but one of the men reached out and grabbed the back of the neck and carried it over. "Who are you? Where did you come from? Where did you get the gun on your body? The two men on the other side simply ignored the rifles on Lao Dongbei and Liu Shishi's shoulders, just asking questions, fortunately, there were two children of the Han family on horseback, and the other party just asked but did not make any radical moves.

Tangcheng had already changed the clothes of the common people, and besides, risking across the river was an act of desertion, so Liu Shishi only said that his party crossed the river from Xishui County and ran back, but he did not say that he was a national army. Liu Shishi's answer obviously did not let the other party let down his guard, and promised to provide them with hot water in Tangcheng, but did not allow them to enter the village, only let them wait at the entrance of the village.

Tang Cheng wanted to remind these two men who were blocking the road about the Japanese soldiers crossing the river, but the people obviously didn't believe him, and after thinking about it left and right, Tang Cheng swallowed back the words that had already reached his mouth. "Then let's rest at the entrance of the village, anyway, we'll have to go south later." Tang Cheng, who didn't want to provoke right and wrong, secretly glanced at Lao Northeast, reached out and took Xiaolian off the horse's back from the horse, and found a stone at the entrance of the village to sit down. The hot water that the two men promised came quickly, and Tang Cheng and the others nibbled on pancakes and pickles with hot water.
