It is said to be a village, but it is actually a loose settlement, which is the result of the special topography of the area. Bishan County is located in a long and narrow valley between Jinyun Mountain and Yunwu Mountain, which looks like a plain area from a distance, but in fact it is covered with large and small hills. Residents can only choose to build their houses on partially flat ground between the hills, and because of the problems of water and transportation, they cannot live together as densely as in the plains.

Gerhardt walks on the dirt roads in the countryside, mostly made of rammed earth, with only some steep slopes lined with small rice paddies and terraced hills. It was the height of summer, and the crops in the rice fields were thriving, and it seemed that today would be a good year for a good harvest, and if it weren't for the war, the surrounding peasants would have earned a good income, Ensign Gerhardt thought.

But now it seems that these Chinese are also quite happy, everyone in sight is smiling at him, and several children who look about twelve or thirteen years old follow him curiously, and every time he looks back, they will grin and laugh. Is there something strange on my face? Second Lieutenant Gerhardt took out a handkerchief and wiped his nose, feeling a little inexplicable.

The clothing of these Chinese is very simple, loose short tops and trousers with wide legs, and some wear knee-length pants, the material of the clothing is quite ordinary, the color is mostly gray-blue and gray-black, and some people only wear white linen sleeveless short coats, revealing dark arms and chests. Gerhardt found that these Chinese were generally thin, perhaps because of the years of labor, the muscles on the arms were slender and well-proportioned, although not as strong as Gerhardt, but people felt that there was great strength in them.

He didn't see anyone else wearing socks other than the old Chinese man in the lead. Gerhardt was surprised by the fact that they were barefoot, covered with cloth and straw sandals of various colors, and some of them even walked barefoot on dirt roads. Surrounded by Chinese, Gerhardt came to an old-looking building.

It has a tall white fence with mottled paint, tiled roofs, and a delicate gatehouse with elaborate cornices and a sign under the eaves. Gelhardt later learned that the Chinese called this a plaque. On the white wall next to the door was a lot of pink and white paper, with Chinese characters written on it, and a row of large square words written on the wall in black paint, although Gerhardt did not know what was written, he knew that it must be some propaganda slogan, because he saw a large exclamation point at the end of the sentence.

Gerhardt looked to both sides, and did not see any gatekeepers, and the leading Chinese old man directly crossed the high threshold with the second lieutenant of the Air Force. At this time, except for a few more well-dressed Chinese who followed, everyone else stayed outside the door. But these villagers did not leave, but stood at the door and watched in.

Walking through the stone-paved front yard, Zhang Zhongfu led Gerhardt into the front hall, and then guided the air force second lieutenant to sit down on the Taishi chair on the left side of the hall. You can see that this building has a long history. At this time, the structure of the top and the wooden pillars of the walls on all sides are a little mottled and decayed, but from the exquisite wood carving decoration and some remaining painted patterns, you can see a little bit of the glory of the past. Gerhardt sat on the Taishi's chair and looked curiously left and right, while the old man sat at the table in front of him and stared at a few Chinese villagers, and the scene was frozen for a while.

At this time. Two strong men in black cloth jackets led a middle-aged man in a blue robe through the main entrance. Seeing the person who came, Zhang Jiachang hurriedly got up to greet him, Gerhardt didn't understand what was going on, and quickly stood up as well.

"I can't understand a word of what this and this kind of foreign hairy man says. Everything can only rely on Mr. Li. Zhang Jiachang said to the visitor.

"Captain A is polite, I think this person must be a Russian, I also learned a few words of Russian earlier, after all, I am here to help the government fight the Oriental robbers, wait for me to comfort him." The middle-aged man wore a pair of thin-rimmed glasses and a warm smile, he hugged Zhang Jiachang with a fist, then dusted off the front of his long shirt and walked towards the hall.

"Welcome, distinguished guest." The middle-aged man opened his mouth to speak fluent Russian, and enthusiastically stretched out his right hand to Gerhardt.

Looking at Ensign Gerhardt on the other hand, he just stood there with an inexplicable look on his face and winked at the new Chinese with wide eyes. But then he quickly reacted, this person should be greeting himself, and the second lieutenant of the Air Force hurriedly stretched out his hand and held it tightly with the other party.

It is said that many of the instructors of the aviation school have been trained in Russia, but by the time he arrived, they were all trained in Germany.

"Good afternoon sir, do you speak German?" Gerhardt asked expectantly, praying that the other party would understand what he was saying.

"Huh?" Hearing Gerhardt's words, a surprised expression appeared on the middle-aged man's face.

"Are you German?" He took a step back and began to look up and down the pilot in front of him.

"Praise God, I finally met someone who can speak German. This gentleman, I am German. Gerhardt replied excitedly, and then he pulled the hem of his jacket, hit the heel of his heavy flying leather boots, nodded slightly to the other party and introduced himself: "Luftwaffe second lieutenant, Rudwig. Gerhardt. ”

"Luftwaffe?" Hearing the ensign's introduction, the middle-aged man was obviously stunned for a moment, and then realized that he seemed to be a little rude, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "My name is Li Yunfeng, you can call me Charlie. Mr. Lee, Second Lieutenant. ”

"Okay, Mr. Li, may I ask what kind of place this is, how can I get in touch with the government of your country, my plane crashed near here, and a comrade-in-arms made a forced landing a few kilometers away, I urgently need help from the Chinese government now." Gerhardt's mouth opening is a series of questions.

"Wait a minute, please speak slowly, it's been a long time since I've spoken to someone in German, and I'm a little rusty." Mr. Li hurriedly shook his hands and motioned to Gerhardt to speak slowly, sentence by sentence.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Mr. Lee. I'm really in a hurry. Gerhardt quickly replied.

"I can understand your mood at the moment, please sit down and talk slowly." Li Yunfeng raised his arm and politely made a posture of please sit.

"Thank you, Mr. Lee." When the Germans sat down, Li Yunfeng shook the hem of his robe and sat down on a Taishi chair next to Gerhardt.

"Mr. Ensign, would you like some tea now?" Li Yunfeng asked.

"It would be great if I could, my water bottle was lost on the plane." Gerhardt took off his flying cap and placed it on the coffee table next to him.

"Please wait a moment." Li Yunfeng turned his face and beckoned to Zhang Zhongfu, who had been waiting on the side, and Zhang Jiachang hurriedly ran over.

"This is not a Russian, but a German. He was also a second lieutenant officer in the Luftwaffe. Li Yunfeng whispered to Zhang Zhongfu.

"What? You say he's not a Russian Maozi, it's a German? I also sent someone to report it to the township office. Zhang Jiachang's eyes widened.

"That's not a good thing, as long as you entertain this German, you will be considered a great achievement. Now you go find someone to bring a pot of tea, and if there are any snacks and fruits, you can get some of them, if you do this thing, you will have benefits in the future. ”

"Yes, Mr. Li. Or someone who has stayed in the West, drank foreign ink, is well-informed, and can even speak German. You accompany him here to talk slowly. I'll go get ready, don't worry, I'm sure I'll give him a whole shot. After Zhang Jiachang finished speaking, he first bowed to Gelhart's head. Then he turned around and glanced at a few people standing aside, and a group of people walked through the small door on one side to the back hall.

"Mr. Ensign, this place is called Zhangjia Village. That person just now is the head of the village here, oh, you can understand it as the village sheriff. I am a teacher at Chongqing University, and I have a friend who lives in this village, so I often visit here as a guest, and I am familiar with the residents of the village. I happened to have no classes these days, so I came to talk to old friends about something, and they knew that I could speak a foreign language, so they came to me. Li Yunfeng lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said to Gerhardt with a smile.

"Zhangjiacun? Can you read a map? Can you help me point me to where it is? Gerhardt pulled the map out of the inside pocket of his jacket.

"Don't be in such a hurry, Mr. Second Lieutenant, Commander Zhang Jia has already reported your matter to his superiors, and I believe that the government will send someone to pick you up soon."

"That's great, hopefully they'll help me get my luggage back." Hearing that the other party had reported to the government agency, Gerhardt finally relieved his heart, and he jokingly said it, although there was no lack of original intentions.

"I wonder if I can take the liberty of asking you a question? Ensign, how did you get here, I heard you say that your plane crashed, of course, if there are any secrets involved, you don't have to answer me. Li Yunfeng took off his glasses, took out a piece of velvet from his pocket and wiped it up.

"There is nothing confidential to speak of, and I believe that tomorrow your newspaper will report the news. We fought a battle with the Japanese naval air force in the sky, and my plane was hit and damaged by the Japanese during the battle, so I had to abandon the plane and parachute. I landed on the hill in the southeast, and when I came down, I met Zhang and these villagers, and they brought me to this place. Gerhardt said as he untied his first aid kit from his back and rummaged through it.

"Hey, I remember putting a pot in it." The second lieutenant of the Air Force took out a small portable flask from inside, opened the lid and smelled it, and the smell of brandy came to his nose.

"I always have a drink after landing, it's very effective for relieving fatigue." Unscrewing the lid, Gerhardt took a big sip.

"Would you like some? Very good brandy, which I brought from France. He handed the flask to Li Yunfeng.

"Thanks, I haven't tasted it in a long time." Li Yunfeng was not polite, he took the wine jug and raised his head and took a sip.

"When I was studying in France, I loved to drink brandy there very much, and it has been more than ten years, and I really feel nostalgic for my student days when I tasted this taste again." Li Yunfeng sighed and handed the flask back to Gerhardt.

"Keep it as a memento." Gerhardt didn't answer.

"There's our Air Force badge underneath, and my personal initials."

"Thank you, then, Mr. Ensign." Li Yunfeng put the wine jug on the coffee table and touched it on his body, but found that there was nothing on his body that could be used to return the gift, and his expression immediately became a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I came out in a hurry, and I didn't have anything on me that could be considered as a souvenir."

"You don't have to apologize, Li, you've done me a great favor, you don't know how helpless I felt before, the villagers here don't understand a word of German, and I can't understand what they say. Thankfully, you showed up in time, and you were a savior from God. Gerhardt spoke with a look of gratitude.

Just when the two of them were still polite, suddenly there was a noisy noise outside the gate, and then a young man pushed away the crowd at the door, and rushed into the door, and the person shouted loudly in the front yard.

"Zhang Jiachang! There are Oriental ghosts! The younger sister of Siniang's mother's family was caught by an Oriental ghost! ”
