25 Lodge with wolves
If you only want to be quick for a while, the consequences will be unimaginable.
For these enemies left behind in the village, Elder Wei can easily get rid of them, but this will also startle the snake, so he gave a special explanation to An Zhenguo: "I am a German missionary, and I followed you to the village to spend the night, so that we can sneak into the village and find out information!" ”
An Zhenguo squeaked and didn't agree, so the elder Wei asked: "Are you hiding something from me?" ”
This Xiao An is not very old, his figure is also very thin, and his clothes are thin, and he is wearing straw sandals on his feet. Under the pressure of the elder Wei, he had no choice but to tell the truth, he escaped from the landlord's house, and he was afraid that if he returned to the village, the owner would definitely not let him go.
Seeing Xiao An shivering with cold, Elder Wei comforted him and said, "Don't worry, with me, the landlords of your village don't dare to do anything to you!" ”
Xiao An said: "But after I escaped, my two brothers and my father and mother suffered, and my debts to the owner were counted on their heads!" ”
"Then kill the landlord Lao Cai and divide his family property equally!"
Xiao An didn't believe it after hearing this, and the elder Wei took out a silver dollar from his pocket and said, "You should rest assured, I'll pay the debt you owe!" ”
When the two reached the entrance of the village, the soldiers immediately raised their guns and interrogated them.
Xiao An hurriedly introduced: "I am from this village, this missionary from a foreign country, I want to spend the night in our village!" ”
The three soldiers looked at the elder Wei with questioning eyes, and one of them asked, "You don't look like a foreigner?" ”
Elder Wei showed his passport, and the soldiers passed it to each other, but a squad leader handed it back to him and responded: "We have to report this to the commander, you two wait here first!" ”
The squad leader instructed the big one: "Yang Da, you go back and report this matter to Commander Meng, go and come back quickly!" ”
Yang Da answered, and quickly rushed towards the village.
Xiao An started to warm up around the bonfire, and the squad leader questioned him about his situation.
The elder Wei looked towards the village, only to see that the village was dark, and occasionally a few dog barks sounded. He quickly calculated in his mind that if one of the enemy's regimental commanders was really stationed in the village, then why didn't he take the opportunity to assassinate him, so that the enemy would be leaderless.
However, after careful consideration, he decided to give up.
The risk of assassinating an enemy general is too great, and you can't risk your comrades.
Yang Da quickly came from the village and said to the squad leader: "Leader Meng said that he wants to meet this missionary!" ”
After hearing this, the squad leader pulled his hands out of his sleeves and said, "Then you stay here and guard, and I will take the foreign monk to see Captain Meng!" ”
Elder Wei and Xiao An followed behind the squad leader.
The squad leader was not tall, wearing a yellow military coat, and asked the elder Wei some ordinary questions in his mouth.
Xiao An's heart was up and down, and he was extremely nervous.
The squad leader led them directly to a mansion where two lanterns were hung at the door, and the door was guarded by two soldiers.
Xiao An hurriedly pulled the placket of the old Wei's clothes and whispered: "This is the landlord's house!" ”
Elder Wei signaled with his eyes that he didn't need to be afraid, and the squad leader showed the situation to the two soldiers, and pushed the door in.
There are also enemies patrolling in the courtyard, the main hall of the three large tiled houses is brightly lit, the squad leader stopped at the door of the main hall, put his feet together, and "snapped" towards the main hall to make a military salute, shouting: "Report, the second squad leader brought foreign monks to see the group seat!" ”
A middle-aged man's voice came from inside the main hall: "Let the foreigners come in!" ”
The eldest elder Wei raised his legs and entered the main hall, and Xiao An also wanted to follow up, but was stopped by the squad leader. The two of them secretly looked outside the door into the main hall.
Under the shrine in the main hall sat a man in military uniform, studying the map on the table, and a fat man stood next to him with his head bowed.
This officer was Regiment Commander Meng, he put down his pencil and looked at Elder Wei, showing a puzzled look.
Elder Wei showed his passport and said, "I am a missionary from Germany, and I want to spend the night in the village!" ”
Head Meng looked at his passport and asked, "Our team is suppressing bandits, you are not suitable for a foreigner to stay overnight, besides, since you are a missionary, what are you doing here?" ”
Elder Wei took out the cross and said, "God sent me to preach the gospel!" ”
There was also an adjutant standing behind this head Meng, tall and resolute.
Great Elder Wei's heart was entangled again, now is indeed the best time to assassinate the enemy general, but there is no guarantee that the enemy's master will be able to withdraw after the assassination.
Head Meng said to the fat man who bowed his head and waisted: "Old Dong, you can arrange a room for this foreign missionary to stay for a night!" ”
The landlord Lao Dong nodded hurriedly and said to the elder Wei: "Foreign monk, come with me!" ”
Elder Wei thanked Captain Meng and followed Lao Dong out of the hall.
Xiao An saw the old boss and lowered his head, but the old landlord saw him at a glance, and immediately grabbed Xiao An's collar and scolded: "Where has your kid died in the past few months?" Dare to come back! ”
The squad leader who was waiting for news outside the main hall hurriedly pulled Lao Dong away and asked what the situation was?
Lao Dong still wanted to explain, but Old Wei said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, where is the room?" ”
The landlord was a little surprised when he heard this, and he was busy leading the way, leading them to the backyard, and arranging for them to live in a side room.
Xiao An also stayed in the room, and Lao Dong said to him: "I have doubled the ten yuan you owe me and asked your family to pay it back!" ”
Da Lao Wei said while taking off his shoes: "I'll talk about the two of you later, I'm hungry, hurry up and bring us food!" ”
Lao Dong hurriedly responded, turned around and left.
Xiao An hurriedly closed the door and asked Da Lao Wei, "What should I do?" ”
The elder Wei motioned for him not to make a sound, then closed his eyes and looked out of the room, only to see Lao Dong and the squad leader hiding under the window eavesdropping, so he said in foreign language, and then said in Chinese: "Why hasn't the food been delivered yet?" ”
The two people outside the window turned to leave, and the elder Wei opened his eyes and said to Xiao An: "Don't worry, I will try to get rid of this landlord, but I need your cooperation!" ”
Old Wei put his feet in the charcoal brazier to dry, put on his leather shoes again, and then there was a knock on the door, and Lao Dong took a man who looked like a housekeeper to bring the food and put it on the table.
Lao Dong said: "You eat slowly, if you have any orders, just open your mouth!" ”
Elder Wei took out a roll of silver dollars from his pocket and put it on the table, and said to Xiao An: "I paid you to lead the way, but you don't know the way, I can't give you this money!" ”
Xiao An was silent, just buried his head in the food.
Lao Dong hurriedly motioned for the housekeeper to go out first, and he whispered to the eldest elder Wei: "I don't know where this foreign Buddha is going?" The old man is very familiar with this place, and may be able to serve you! ”
Elder Wei looked at him and asked, "Are you really familiar with this place?" ”
Lao Dong patted his chest and said to Xiao An: "I am a native of here, there is no place I am not familiar with within a hundred miles, don't you say?" ”
Xiao An hurriedly nodded yes, and Lao Dong asked Da Lao Wei: "I don't know where this foreign Buddha is going?" ”
Elder Wei said coldly: "Wolf Ear Mountain! ”
