Chapter 378: Black Powder
Zhang Li felt that he had never been so cowardly in his life. He felt like a piece of rubbish, a good-for-nothing piece of waste. Relying on the half of the broken book that was rented and handed down to deceive to this day, it is still just like this. also said that he was straightforward and could tell the fortunes of others, but he didn't understand his own fate.
He does have a wife, and what he told Huzi at the beginning was true. During that time, he really couldn't live anymore, and he would rather borrow money than go to Chunfeng Garden, just to see Miss Su'e more. He believed that Miss Su'e was also interesting to him, and the two of them were in love.
Later, I didn't know what happened, but some people said that the reason why Miss Su'e was able to be an oiran was because a goblin was on her body, and this goblin wanted to absorb people's yang energy. If you want Zhang Li to say, that's pure nonsense, how can Su'e be such a kind-hearted and lovely girl, how can she be a goblin?
But since then, Miss Su'e really doesn't accept customers. And when Zhang Li was able to eat and reduce the money he had saved for a few months to go to Qinggu, Qinggu really agreed to use this price to redeem Miss Su'e. Zhang Li will never forget the look on the other party's face when he pushed the deed of sale in front of Miss Su'e - there was sadness and joy, and tears filled his eyes.
Zhang Li finally got his wish, and happily welcomed Su'e home to marry. He is just a stinky fortune teller, he has no savings, and the hexagram shop in the city can't live in a small house sheltered from the rain when he patrols the street in the city. So Zhang Li set up a small pitiful courtyard outside the city according to the original plan, not far from the private school.
How broken is this little courtyard? The fence tied by the bud rice pole is encircled, and the mud embryo house is the stove when you enter the door, and the kang is after the stove. On the big day, Zhang Li couldn't afford to drink or hire a sedan chair, so he simply omitted all the red tape, took Su'e to worship his father's tablet three times, lit a dragon and phoenix candle and drank wine, even if he became a husband and wife.
Since then, life has really settled down. During the day, Zhang Li went to the stall in the city to give people divination, and secretly reported to the **** group, and Su'e did the work of a carpenter at home, using bamboo embryos and wicker to weave some things to buy. When the city gate was about to close at night, when Zhang Li returned home, Su'e had already prepared a meal and was waiting for him. Life is hard, but there is also some taste. This kind of taste is something Zhang Li has never experienced.
Speaking of which, although this Su'e has been in Chunfeng Yuan for a few years, she is also from a poor family and was sold here by her father, and she did these jobs when she was a child, and now she is just picking them up again. Su'e can really give up the days in the Spring Breeze Garden. After all, when I was in Chunfeng Garden, although my food and clothing were better than now, I did have to bear a bad name. Now that she can be good and be a good daughter-in-law, she doesn't dare to ask for anything. What's more, during the time when she was an Oiran, it was like in a dream when she thought about it, and she always couldn't remember it really, but there was an inexplicable wonder that she was said to be possessed by a fairy, and she really had nothing to remember about Chunfeng Yuan. Such days are hard for her, but they are steady.
Recalling the past, Zhang Li shed tears again. He sat on the ground in embarrassment, wiping his tears one after another, completely without the indifferent and immortal appearance he usually pretended. Touching the tombstone with his hand, Zhang Li deeply understood what the pain of burning all five insides was.
Zhang Li hated the Japanese. Zhang Li hated himself even more.
He can't even protect his wife, is he still a man? Zhang Li felt that he didn't count. Even if he really went to the Netherworld, he wouldn't have the face to see Su'e.
It was an ordinary day, and as the city gate was about to close at sunset, Zhang Li turned home as usual. I still think that if I have saved enough money in the future, I will change to a better place to live, so that I can have a child with Su'e.
But when he came to the door, he just realized that something was wrong. Bamboo and willow branches were scattered all over the ground, and the little horse fell to the side. Although this small courtyard and small house are dilapidated, Su'e is a clean person, cleaned very neatly inside and out, and will definitely not finish her work without tidying up. Seeing this scene, Zhang Li was so shocked that the three souls and seven spirits left his body for a while, and said that his daughter-in-law had an accident.
In a hurry, he couldn't care about anything else, Zhang Limai stepped into the courtyard, his blanket was thrown off the ground, and he pushed open the door...... It was a gun to the head.
The man with the gun was a Japanese soldier. He poked Zhang Li's head hard with the muzzle of a gun, forced him into a corner, and asked, "You, what are you doing?" ”
"I ...... I am...... I'm this man. Zhang Liden was so frightened that his legs and stomach turned tendons, and he shrank in the corner of the wall and didn't dare to move, "Uncle Huangjun, you ...... What are you doing at my house? ”
The Japanese snorted and said, "Ours, hunt down the revolutionaries." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Li's heart seemed to be pinched hard, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He said in his heart that I was exposed, and the Japanese knew my identity. What should I do? At this time, he was thinking about whether he would rather die in the face of the torture of the little devil to extract a confession, or pretend to reveal false information...... Or did you do it truthfully?
But next thing about this little devil, Zhang Li's blood was cold. I saw this little devil with a cruel smile on his face, grabbed Zhang Li's collar, and dragged him up: "Your daughter-in-law, ours, suspected of being a revolutionary, is interrogating her, yours, do you want to take a look?" ”
After the little devil finished speaking, he didn't allow anyone to respond at all, and dragged Zhang Li over the retaining wall of the stove and came to the front of the inner house kang.
Zhang Li saw that there were four Japanese soldiers in the house. And Su'e was strangled with a strip of cloth in her mouth and pressed against the kang. The four Japanese soldiers were all disheveled, one stood aside to watch the excitement, and two people held down Su'e's hands and feet, and the remaining one was lying on Su'e's body, burying his head in Su'e's chest and arching around, and his lower body was still shrugging.
- This is what they call "interrogation".
The devil who was watching the excitement on the sidelines asked in Japanese. The devil who dragged Zhang Li in replied twice, and the five devils in the back room all let out loud laughter. A sound was like a loud slap on Zhang Li's face.
For a while, Zhang Li's blood and qi surged, and as soon as he turned over and got up from the ground, he was about to pounce on the kang. But before he could take a step, the ghost soldier who was watching the excitement from the sidelines smashed the butt of his rifle on his face, knocking him to the ground.
The little devil who dragged him into the house earlier should be the only one in the gang who can speak Chinese. He squatted next to Zhang Li, poked him in the head with the muzzle of a gun, and said, "If you move again, I will kill you." Look, I'm going to want you to look. ”
Zhang Li looked over to the kang and found that Su'e had also turned her head sideways and was looking at him. Su E didn't shed tears, her eyes were empty and she couldn't see any emotion, so she looked at Zhang Li directly.
Zhang Li wanted to step forward, but the cold muzzle of the gun was against the back of his head, and he didn't have the guts. He also didn't have the guts, so he took another look at Su'e, so he had to close his eyes and tilt his head to the side.
But that little devil didn't do it. He smashed the back of Zhang Li's head with the butt of his gun again, and shouted, "Open your eyes!" Look, I said, I want you to watch, see how we are interrogated. ”
Zhang Li gasped, slowly turned his head, and looked at the Japanese soldier. The little devil slapped Zhang Li in the face, which was the place where he was hit by the butt of the gun before-it was a hot pain, but Zhang Li didn't make a sound. The devil soldier shouted again: "I want you to watch." Zhang Li had no choice but to turn his head back and meet Su'e's eyes. Su'e whimpered twice and slowly closed her eyes.
Here I watched my daughter-in-law being crushed under her by five Japanese people in turn, until one of them accidentally strangled Su'e to death, and they left in a huff. The Japanese, who could speak Chinese, patted Zhang Li's face before leaving, and whispered in his ear, "Thank you for your hospitality." ”
Zhang Li lost his mind. It wasn't until dawn that he struggled to get up from the ground, when he could smell the rooster crowing. In this way, he sat with his wife's corpse all night, and not a single tear fell.
He didn't know how he had come over these days, but he knew that he was already sorry for Su'e, and he couldn't treat her badly anymore in the aftermath. Zhang Li chose a good monument and took out the money he had saved to buy a house. The tombstone that had not yet been engraved was turned over, and the fine pine coffin with vermilion lacquer was selected. After preparing the silk noodle shroud and arranging it properly, it was Su E who was buried beautifully.
This funeral almost cost Zhang Li all of his savings.
But what's the use of that? What does it mean to give it to her when she is alive if she doesn't enjoy it when she is alive? After all, it is dead, and it is useless after all. Zhang Li, who was sitting in front of the grave and crying one after another, figured out that he had to do something for Su'e.
Avenge! This is the only thing Zhang Li can think of. The one who is afraid of the horizontal, and the one who is horizontal is afraid of not dying. Now that he Zhang Li is alone, what can he do if he really doesn't want this life? But he has neither a gun nor a good martial arts, how can he take revenge?
Dynamite! This thought was like a magic obstacle in Zhang Li's mind, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what. Where can I get explosives? Zhang Li knew that there was a place where the **** regiment was hiding, and there was a small warehouse where a little ammunition was placed, and a package of explosives was still available. But no, there is the stronghold of the **** regiment. He is now bent on dying to avenge his wife, and he can't be involved in the **** group. What's more, there are so many people in the stronghold, he can't let anyone down, let alone bring out the explosives.
But what does he do? Giving people a living by being a black hanging god and making a ghost, there is no gunpowder, he deserves it himself!
Gunpowder is something invented by Danshi, and the things he learned are miscellaneous, is there any reason for this? What's more, he was originally a gentleman who opened a hexagram shop to tell people's fortunes, and buying anything would not arouse suspicion. It's winter again, and the ice stone is not that expensive, so this strategy is really feasible.
Sulfur, ice, charcoal, these are all easy things to come by. After the configuration is completed, it is wrapped in a cloth, and then a fire extinguishing lead is attached to the cloth bag, which is considered to be made into an explosives package. The wind and cold are still after the first month, and people are dressed bloated. Zhang Li thought that when the time came, he hid the bags of explosives under his clothes, and no one could see anything.
After a few days, Zhang Li drank some wine, took advantage of the darkness, and went straight to the former Zhao family's mansion, now the Japanese army command post.
