The people dragged their tired bodies to evacuate north in the cold and windy night, and there was a faint thunderous roar from the direction of Gaoyou behind them, and the devil had already hit Gaoyou.

Although the people were hungry and cold, they had already heard that in the front of Jieshou Town, the Northern Jiangsu Corps had opened a porridge shed, and as long as they arrived at Jieshou, the situation would be better.

Although they evacuated to Huaiyin, they still had to pass by Baoying in the middle, and I heard that Baoying still had puppet troops and devils, so as long as they kept up with the Northern Jiangsu Corps, then there would be no worries about safety.

"Ah Xiu, drink some water, hold on a little longer, and when you get to Jieshou Town, you will have something to eat, and you can rest."

In the crowd, a thin man was protecting his wife with a big belly, following the crowd north.

"Applejack, I just can't walk." A pregnant woman with a big belly has walked such a long way, and she has no strength at the moment.

Seeing his wife's tired face, the thin Tang Jie was full of guilt, she didn't enjoy a day of happiness when she married her, but followed her to wander away.

"Then let's go to the side of the road and rest, and I'll see if we can find an ox cart."

Tang Jie, who was sympathetic to his wife, had to squeeze out of the crowd with great effort, took Ah Xiu to the leeward place and sat down, ready to find an ox cart to carry her away, otherwise if she continued at this speed, she would not be able to reach Jieshou Town at dawn.

"Applejack, I'm scared." Seeing that Tang Jie was going out to find the ox cart, Ah Xiu, who had a big belly, had a worried look on his face.

After all, in these chaotic years, once many people are lost in the crowd, many people will never see each other again in their lifetime.

"It's okay, just stay here and don't move, I'll be back in a moment." Tang Jie reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and stuffed the package he was carrying into Ah Xiu's hand: "I'll go back when I go." ”

"I'll wait for you to come back."

Ah Xiu looked at the road that was crowded with people, his heart suddenly empty, and he clutched the package in his hand tightly, perhaps because he had walked too many roads, and his stomach ached faintly.

In the dark and rumbling night, the crowd with torches was tired of moving forward, and many people could not walk, so they lit fires on the side of the road, ready to warm up before walking.

Tang Jie was bent on finding an ox cart, but after looking for a long way, all the ox carts and carriages were full of people or stuffed with parcels, and no one wanted to make room for people to ride.

Facing the lifeless and panicked crowd of refugees, Tang Jie felt extremely frustrated, and because he was worried about Ah Xiu, he had to turn around and go back.

But after walking a short distance, suddenly the slow-moving crowd in front of them stopped, and a group of people with torches blocked the way, and this group of people was holding a flag high in their hands - "Jieshou Anti-Japanese War Guerrilla Detachment!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the contemptible person is the detachment leader Zhang Leopard of the guerrilla detachment of the head of the Anti-Japanese War, the little devil has already hit Gaoyou, the contemptible person is the head of the guerrilla detachment, and he should maintain the peace of the party, according to the enemy outside the head of the world, but there is a shortage of ammunition and insufficient military salary, so all patriotic fathers and fellow villagers, there is money to contribute, no money to contribute, we are united to resist foreign enemies together......"

Zhang Baozi, the "leader of the guerrilla detachment of the Jieshou Anti-Japanese War", who was full of meat, said a long list of nonsense, and then waved his hand to the back, and several people with guns on their backs walked to the crowd with a few sacks.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is money to pay, and some people to fight against Japan together! Get the devils out of China as soon as possible! The sack-carrying men shouted slogans and demanded that the fleeing people pay for them.

"Yes, everyone hurry up, you are donating money to resist Japan, that is accumulating merit!" Seeing that these people were hesitant to dodge, and they didn't mean to pay for it, those who were in charge of collecting money were anxiously urging.

"I... I don't have any money......" A middle-aged man saw the person who walked up to him with a sack, and timidly refused.

"No money, I don't believe it!" The man who received the money pulled the package from the man's body and tore it open in two clicks.

Soon, in the light of the fire, a few fiat coins and a few shining oceans fell to the ground in the wrapped clothes.

"No money, what is this, if you don't donate money to fight against Japan, do you still want to fund the enemy! All forfeited! ”

The person who collected the money shouted viciously, and while picking up all the fiat currency and the ocean, he stuffed them into the sack with his hands and feet.

"Boss, boss, don't......" When the middle-aged man saw that his savings had been taken away, he immediately became anxious and hurriedly pulled the sleeve of the person who collected the money.

"Do you believe it or not, Lao Tzu killed you as a traitor!" The man who received the money suddenly pulled out a shell gun, and the cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against the man's chest, threatening viciously.

Although this middle-aged man was unwilling, he had to let go in the face of the muzzle of the black hole, and watched these people take all their money away.

"Everyone be active, everyone is responsible for resisting Japan, don't don't know each other and toast, don't eat and drink, hurry up and take out the money!"

In the face of these coercion and temptation, the belongings of the unarmed people were quickly looted, and Zhang Leopard, who was standing there, had a smile on his face.

"Where's yours?!" Soon, the person who collected the money walked up to Tang Jie.

"I don't have any money, and besides, what kind of guerrilla are you, why haven't I heard of it." Tang Jie was deeply suspicious of these so-called guerrillas, so he asked more.

"We are a newly established guerrilla force, directly under the command of Commander Yu of the Sulu Theater, little brother, I see that you are strong and strong, and you have no money, right, then become a soldier and follow us to fight devils." Seeing Tang Jie standing there, a sneer appeared on the corner of the person who collected the money.

The man waved his hand behind him, and the two men with guns on their backs strode over, trying to restrain Tang Jie, their faces full of playfulness.

"I don't want to be a soldier......." Tang Jie realized the danger and wanted to retreat.

"You'd better follow us obediently, or you know what the consequences are!" The person who collected the money pointed a gun at Tang Jie and threatened loudly.

Before Tang Jie could react, he was blocked by the two people who rushed over, one left and one right, and he couldn't struggle no matter how hard he struggled.

"Let go of me! Let me go! Tang Jie was struggling, but none of the people around him dared to go up to help.

Because this group of people is not only under the banner of anti-Japanese guerrillas, but they also have guns, who has nothing to fight them.

Soon Tang Jie was carried into a dark forest on the side of the road, and there were screams of beatings from inside, and the listeners panicked.

And this so-called Jieshou anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment has also set up cards on the road, and all the people who go north must pay money to pass, if they don't have money, they can't get through.

Just as Zhang Leopard, under the banner of the Jieshou Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Detachment, took advantage of the chaos to set up cards on the highway to loot money, about five miles behind them, the same group of people were doing the same thing.

It's just that this group of people is fighting the Sulu Patriotic Corps, and the leader is a tower-like man, as his name suggests, Liu Heitan.

But their luck was not so good, and the card was set up for a while, but they were stunned and confiscated much money.

"Boss, boss, inquire clearly, Zhang Leopard of the dog day set up a card in front of us to collect money, and let him take the money!" Soon, someone rushed from a distance and reported to Liu Heitan.

"Damn, Lao Tzu said that they are all a group of poor sticks, dare to love Zhang Leopard and dare to cut off their beards!" Liu Heitan was furious and yelled: "Brothers, copy guys, Lao Tzu wants to see how many catties and taels Zhang Leopard has, and he dares to grab business with us!"
