Chapter Eighty-Four: An Awkward Reunion
Under orders and coercion, the two puppet soldiers entered the cave. Then, a man was pulled out of the hole. The man bowed his head, a handful of goatee, and his face was like a walnut, wrinkled and covered with dust. His body was shaking like chaff. The intermittent voice from his mouth was: "Spare your life, Master Taijun, I beg for mercy ......"
Following the instructions of the sour cabbage, he led the man into an empty room in front of the cave.
After sitting down, the sour cabbage looked at it carefully for a while, and then comforted the man and said, "Relax, don't be afraid, you look up, can you still recognize who I am?" ”
The man was so frightened that he seemed to be unable to hear anything, so he begged and said, "Spare your life, Master Taijun, I beg for mercy." "I only cared about the upper and lower teeth hitting each other, trembling, and I didn't even dare to raise my head or roll my eyelids.
"Don't be afraid, brother!" The sour cabbage called affectionately when she saw him in this pitiful appearance. "Raise your head, do you still know Xiao Wu? It's the Wu Meiyan who your old man named him!"
The man, known as the old brother, stopped praying for mercy like a dream. He really couldn't believe that there were still people calling him brother at this moment. He froze and peeked across the street at the man in a top hat, leather shoes, and a pair of pale green glasses on his ears. This man called himself Xiao Wu.
"Recognize it, huh? Dude. Hey! We haven't seen each other in years. This first time we met, it can make you frightened! In order to let the other party recognize his true face, the sour cabbage took off his blackout glasses.
This captive, known as the elder brother, looked at the other party carefully and recognized it, it turned out that the person who was talking to him face-to-face was Wu Meiyan, who collected rent and accounts for him many years ago!
So, he let out a deep sigh, stepped forward and grabbed the sour cabbage's hands, and said with tears in his eyes: "It's Xiao Wu, we haven't seen each other for many years, I miss you so much." Since the Eighth Route Army came, I have been walking downhill, hey, in a word: 'People are under the low eaves, how can they not bow their heads'. ”
"yes, I'm so embarrassed for you!"
"When I'm sad, I'm always secretly saying: Xiao Wu come back, come back, it's good to come back with people and horses, support me and relieve my anger. But I never thought you would come back at such a time. Oh, what a good day today, people who can't dream of it, have come to the front all of a sudden! ”
"That's great!"
"Yes!" The old exploiter was shocked, wiped his tears and said, "I only knew that you were in Dalian, Dalian is very far away, thousands of miles away, but no one would have thought that you would come to you all of a sudden, and I didn't expect us to meet here." Speaking of this, the old exploiter thought that the Xiao Wu in front of him was no longer the Xiao Wu of many years ago, and he didn't know what to say first. Just said: "Alas, Dalian is so far away from here!" It's been a hard ride!"
"Far away in the sky, near in front of you. I missed my hometown, so I came to my hometown. I came back here to look for people from my hometown, what a coincidence, I didn't expect that the first one to find it was you! God has eyes, how much fate we have! The old exploiter handed the cigarette over and lit the match.
The sour cabbage glanced to the side and retreated. After reminiscing about the old situation with the old exploiters, and after each of them described their current situation, she proposed that she followed the Japanese army to sweep the Yimeng Mountains this time, and was deeply trusted and valued by the Japanese Taijun. As a local, I have a big task. When you go to your hometown, you should play the role of a hometown person. The character who urgently needs to cooperate with him secretly, and the person who works with her to act as the eyes and ears of the imperial army.
So, the sour cabbage said earnestly: "I have been away from my hometown for many years. Things in my hometown have changed a lot. Over the years, I've gone from a local to a foreigner. Even the mountain roads here have been transformed. Brother, life is a life, the word food and clothing, we rely on the Japanese not to worry about no food and clothing, not to worry about no happiness, now, your full body of skills is time to use. The Imperial Japanese Army wants to establish the Great East Asia Royal Paradise in our homeland, can you not welcome it? Can you not be happy? ”
"Establish the Great East Asia King's Paradise?" The old exploiter let out a few doubts from the wrinkles, and was silent for a while, not knowing whether he believed it or whether he thought this suggestion was a bit funny. ”
"You don't have to understand this! Anyway, as long as you can listen to me and the Japanese! ”
Subsequently, this bad thing said that he was willing to serve as the eyes and ears of the Japanese. But he explained that the Eighth Route Army came, the world had changed greatly, and the landlord's old wealth could not be eaten, and it began to stink. He himself was a landlord and a wealthy man, with big goals, and he was the object of everyone's attention during the war.
Although this bad thing is the object of the unity of the anti-Japanese national united front policy of the Eighth Route Army, it is a character who has to be led by the nose. He made a big move, and the car bell rang, alarming the Quartet.
"Cooperate with the Japanese to build a royal paradise, Xiao Wu, for your sake, look at our old friendship, I'm afraid of taking any risks. However, it is true that my landlord's goal is too big to be out of the field! Xiao Wu, you can find another smart person. ”
"Hey, brother, we haven't seen each other for many years, I think about you in my dreams, we met today, my little sister is in trouble, you can't bear not to help." The sour cabbage said tactfully, "Besides, if you cooperate with the Japanese, will the Japanese treat you badly?" Will my Xiao Wu treat you badly? You know, big brother, Xiao Wu is not a heartless person! ”
"Help! How could I not help! You and I have been separated for many years, and you haven't changed your tone for Big Brother, I should also help! The old exploiter was very satisfied with Xiao Wu's mournful tone, which was the tone of being his little lover many years ago.
"Good ......"
So he comforted and made a living and continued: "But, Xiao Wu, do you know that to act in a scene, you need to have a variety of roles? Do you need to have a variety of combinations? I can't go to the front desk, it's more useful in the back of the house. Got it? Xiao Wu, there is no front desk without a backstage. ”
"Who's coming to the front desk? Who is the person I am working with to get in touch with? ”
"There are capable people who are stronger and better than me. There's someone you're right hand in! ”
"Brother, don't ask your little sister to go around in circles with you. Tell me, who is this man? Do I know him? ”
"You know him, and if you skin him, you can recognize him to the bones." The old exploiter took another cigarette and said, "He, he's your brother!" Do you remember? When you ran away from Dalian, he was only twelve or thirteen years old, and he looked pitiful. I also eat snot as noodles! ”
"Remember! Remember! When I hid in this cave before I fled to Dalian, he also sent me food and travel expenses, and he said that your eldest brother sent him to send them. ”
"Okay! Good memory! A person with a good memory is also a person who does not forget his roots. Now, that's what I'm going to talk about. Years ago to this day, I secretly topdressed him with fat, and he grew into good material. He has a clever tongue, and a dead man can make him live. ”
"Please help me well"
People nicknamed him Wu Tiezui, which naturally means that he can blow. He is clever and resourceful. You sisters and brothers cooperate with each other. I'm in the background with ideas. Insurance: You are handy for the Imperial Army. However, little sister, one walks on Yangguan Road, and the other walks on a single-plank bridge. When you are lucky, don't forget an old 'friend' who lives with his head bowed under the low edge. ”
"Big brother, don't worry, as the saying goes, don't forget the person who digs the well. If I forget you, I will forget my eight-generation ancestors!" Sour cabbage swore and said, "But, is my brother you are talking about, can he be trusted?" We haven't seen each other for many years, this is the world of the Eighth Route Army, he didn't call *** to **? ”
The old exploited this bad thing, shook his goatee excitedly, smiled and said, "Xiao Wu! You can rest assured! The Eighth Route Army can be red, but they can't ** your little brother, your little brother is with me, just like the saying: 'You can't get a white cloth out of the dye vat'. The white cloth is black in color, what else! He, like you, is all one family and one heart. ”
"Yes!"
"Xiao Wu, according to the needs of the situation, he is already a member of the Kuomintang. In addition, for the convenience of activities, I also asked him to work hard to learn the craft of a small furnace maker. This craft is accessible to every household. With this craft, he is easy to move around, contacts the masses the most, and knows the most information! ”
This conversation on special occasions and special content is really a conversation that threads the needle, and this kind of conversation also stipulates the contact place and contact mark between each other, and so on. The conversation talked about the depths of the soul, and the old exploiter suddenly slapped his hands twice and said, "I really deserve to die!" I'm really good at forgetting, and there's a more capable person, almost forgetting! ”
"Brother, today you were frightened, and of course you forgot things. What you have in your stomach is a treasure, you think about it slowly, and take out two things at random, both of which are useful for your little sister! Sour cabbage inspires the old exploit to continue.
"Little sister, I'll recommend you another person, this person is half a catty to five taels compared to your little brother. This person does things, and the tofu cut by the knife - two sides of the light. He's a sleek loach, and with him pulling the line in secret, I'm more secure in the background. Brother Ling will be more handy at the front desk to serve you for the Imperial Japanese Army! ”
"Who is he? Do I recognize him? ”
"Recognize! Recognize! Many years ago, when you and I were enjoying the cool weather in this valley, a person who often came to play chess with me was him, remember? ”
"Brother, are you talking about Wang Wenping, who is nicknamed Ghost Difficult?"
"You have a good memory, that's the guy!"
"Great, please connect it!"
