Chapter 45: There is no shortage of gold bars
The carriage pulled by the little donkey ran fast on the dirt road, which was a little bumpy.
The driver of the cart, holding his whip high, shouted from time to time, and reprimanded the donkey to run quickly.
"Where?" The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a young man in a long coat looked up.
"Mr. Wang, it's almost time to arrive in Ping'an County."
There was also an old man sitting next to the coachman, knocking the dry tobacco in his hand, observing the surroundings and replied.
Hearing the word Ping'an County, the young man nodded slightly, played with two jade stone balls in his hand, and said, "Whose defense area is Ping'an County?" ”
"It seems to be an independent regiment, what is the head of the regiment called Li, oops, the words are on the lips, I just can't remember..."
The old man couldn't remember clearly, but fortunately, the driver who drove the car added a sentence later: "Li Yunlong." ”
This group of three people is Wang Xu who started from Tianjin and came to the southwest.
The old man's name is Zhong Jianming, known as Uncle Zhong, from the Tianjin underground party, and he is a very experienced old traffic officer.
The young coachman's name was Wang Youfu, who was originally a monk of the Great Compassion Temple, but because he was not used to seeing the atrocities of the Japanese, he threw himself into the ranks of the revolution.
These two people are Wang Xu's temporary bodyguards, and they want to escort him all the way to the southwest to Wangjiayu, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in North China.
The purpose is self-evident, North China covers many provinces and cities, if there is no accident this time, the entire antique business in North China in the future, he will have to bite hard.
Similarly, if you want to eat this cake, Wangjiayu's trip must be a complete success.
"Li Yunlong."
Hearing this name, as well as the title of the independent group, Wang Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he whispered: "I really want to meet this person!" ”
"See?"
Old Uncle Zhong was a little strange, and turned around and asked, "Do you know him?" ”
"Hehe, I've only heard of it, forget it, don't mention it." Wang Xu likes to look at the bright sword, and he has a good impression of Li Yunlong in it.
Seeing the strange look on Old Uncle Zhong's face, he knew that he couldn't be too eager.
Li Yunlong In the final analysis, at this time, he was just a regiment leader, and he was not prestigious.
And the identity he showed was a wealthy businessman with good hands and eyes, and he was interested in a small group leader, which was unreasonable in the eyes of others.
The carriage ran happily, Wang Xu lowered the curtain and began to close his eyes again.
When I opened my eyes again, the county seat of Ping'an had arrived.
"Stop and check, hurry!"
There is a city gate tower in Ping'an County, and there are a few puppet soldiers with guns standing at the door, and there are Japanese soldiers patrolling in the sentry box.
Wang Xu was sitting in the carriage, following behind an aunt who bought chickens, and walked inside slowly.
Soon, it was their turn for the passing procession, and the puppet army raised the curtain with bayonets and asked, "Where did you come from, what are you doing in the city?" ”
"Tianjin came, our lord is an antique dealer, came to open a branch, passing by the county to rest." It was Uncle Zhong who spoke, and while talking, he handed over a piece of ocean and three good citizen certificates.
The certificate of good citizenship is a special product of this special period, which is equivalent to the ID card of the Japanese-occupied area.
It's okay to say that you don't go out at home, but you don't have this when you go out, and if you are caught by the puppet army and gendarmes on patrol, this matter can be big or small.
The certificates of good citizenship of Wang Xu and the three of them are naturally fake, and they are documents created by the underground party for their own use.
If someone seriously investigates, of course they can find flaws, but this thing is just like that, and the puppet army will put it down at a glance.
"Let's go, let's get in." Playing with the ocean in his hand, the carriage was quickly let go.
Wang Xu had no expression on his face, he was not a hot-blooded young man, his eyes were split when he saw the devil, and he seemed to have heard of the patrolmen around him.
The old man who followed them in the carriage and sold vegetables muttered two words of traitor.
"Hey, you old immortal, let you go over and you still talk so much, I think you owe a beating!" Hearing the word traitor, several puppet soldiers suddenly stopped doing it, holding the butt of their guns and smashing the old man.
Within two blows, the old man was knocked to the ground, and his head was bleeding.
Who thinks that the old man also has backbone, and after being beaten, he held his head, but scolded even more fiercely: "When you are a traitor, you can't enter the ancestral grave, you lack eight generations of virtue!" ”
"Old immortal, you can't find it!" When a traitor is a traitor, he reacts very much to the word traitor, and when he heard that he couldn't enter the ancestral grave, he became even more ruthless for a while.
On the carriage, Wang Xu watched coldly, the jade stone ball in his hand kept turning, and there was no fluctuation in his heart.
This is Ping'an County, which was occupied by the Japanese, not the Baiyangdian base area.
There were seven or eight puppet soldiers at the city gate, and there were two squads of Japanese soldiers at the city gate, and saving people would only trap themselves.
"Let's go..."Wang Xu lowered the curtain and slowly spoke to Old Uncle Zhong.
Old Uncle Zhong and Wang Youfu are both from the underground party, and they agree with the poor people, and they are a little eager to try.
Hearing Wang Xu's words, Old Uncle Zhong's gaze softened, but Wang Youfu, who was born as a warrior monk, was a little dissatisfied with his youth and vigor, and said: "Why do they beat people, the old people are sixty or seventy years old, isn't this gun butt smashed down, isn't it a matter of disregard for human life?" ”
"There's too much I can't get used to, I can't take care of it, let's go." Old Uncle Zhong is old and serious, and he knows what his task is.
Wang Youfu was still not convinced, looked at the beaten old man, and then looked at Wang Xu in the carriage, and slammed the horsewhip: "Drive!" ”
The carriage swayed and walked on the bluestone path.
Everyone set off from 5 o'clock in the morning until noon, and did not stop to rest.
Now that they have entered the county seat, the stomachs of the three of them are dry, and they are cooing and crumbling to rebel.
"Mr. Wang, there's a wonton stall in front, let's go get something to eat."
Old Uncle Zhong has been through wind and rain for a long time, and his unhappiness at the city gate was quickly hidden in his heart.
Wang Youfu is different, the underground party will send him over because Wang Youfu has kung fu and good marksmanship.
Compared with Old Uncle Zhong, although Wang Youfu's strength is off the charts, it is far worse in other aspects, and he is still angry: "You still have the heart to eat, you are really full of anger!" ”
"Say less!" Old Uncle Zhong pulled Wang Youfu by the hand, and then asked at the car curtain, "Mr. Wang, what do you say?" ”
"Eating is a must, people are iron and rice is steel, but just eat wontons, find a better restaurant, I invite you to a big meal." Wang Xu didn't pull the curtain, but the old god was there.
Old Uncle Zhong and the others don't care, the big boss must have a shelf, which is different from their group of bitter haha.
However, Uncle Zhong was really good, and he thought about going to the big restaurant for a meal, how much would it cost, so he worried: "The two of us, eating a bowl of chaos is a blessing, or I will send you to the hotel, and the two of us can eat as much as you want." ”
"Along the way, I have to rely on you to take care of me, so don't say anything outside of me."
Of course, Wang Xu couldn't go to eat a big meal by himself, so he asked Lao Zhong and the two to eat chaos, silently pretending to be forced, and said: "Let's go, I lack everything, but I don't lack gold bars..."
