Zhangcun Town is not a small town, about 200 households, because it is located in the triangle of Zhengtai Road and Deshi Road intersection, there are more pedestrians and merchants, it is the peak season of trading at this time, melons, fruits and vegetables and other mountain delicacies and game, can be seen on the market.

The handsome young man who carried firewood on his shoulders was none other than Lei Jian, the commander of the only regiment of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, who was famous and famous, and he asked a man in his thirties beside him: "Brother Huang, your aunt and cousin who are cooking in the turret, I don't know if you can appear in the bazaar today." ”

"Brother Lei, I don't know when my cousin will appear in the bazaar, but I dare to conclude. Every time Zhang Village gathers, he will come out to buy vegetables, don't worry about this. Huang Zhi said in a low voice.

More than 30 people disguised as different identities were mixed in the crowd that flocked to the big market in Zhangcun Town, and a few soldiers close to the thunder sword always protected the safety of their only regiment leader.

Lei Jian said to Huang Zhigao, a new local soldier who had just joined the army and was following him: "Brother Huang, you often come to Zhangcun Daji, right?" Did you find that there are a lot of devils and puppet soldiers, rampage through the crowd with guns, as if the security is very tight, have you seen this situation before? ”

"No, there have been before, there have never been so many enemy puppet troops, today is the first time."

When Lei Jian heard Huang Zhigao say this, he figured out in his heart that it must be the Eighth Route Army that was fighting fiercely with the enemy on the east bank of Lao Ye Mountain and Tiechuan River, more than ten kilometers away, and was responsible for the security of the intersection of Zhengtai Road and Deshi Road.

He said to Huang Zhigao: "Brother Huang, your main focus is to find your aunt and cousin who is cooking in the turret, this is your task." ”

Huang Zhigao nodded and concentrated, constantly scanning the crowd of people rushing to the market, just wanting to find his aunt and cousin quickly.

More than two hours have passed, and the crowd of the large set of people has begun to thin out, seeing that the big set will disperse in more than half an hour, and Huang Zhigao's aunt and cousin have not yet appeared, Lei Jian not only became anxious in his heart.

Just when they were in a hurry, a group of seven or eight Japanese puppet troops walked from the entrance of the town, walked into the market, and walked directly to the stall where they were buying vegetables.

Huang Zhigao recognized the enemy puppet army coming over at a glance, and the chubby and short man among them was his aunt and cousin Cui Liu.

He immediately exchanged glances with Lei Jian, and then stood in front of the firewood stall and shouted: "Firewood, good firewood, dry firewood that can be burned directly at the bottom of the pot without drying." ”

Cui Liu, who was walking in front, heard the familiar shouting, he glanced at it and saw that it was his cousin Huang Zhigao, this timid and afraid guy, deliberately pretended not to see it, and shrank his already short thick neck to his shoulders, revealing only half of his head.

Huang Zhigao knew that his aunt and cousin were timid and afraid of things, and he was still a very small guy with a happy eye when he saw money, and in the past few years, with a kitchen knife and a spoon, he was still passable in the devil's turret, so he raised his eyes high, and when he saw that his acquaintance deliberately avoided walking, he couldn't hide, so he pretended not to know.

Cui Liu quickly walked to Huang Zhigao's firewood, shrunk away, Huang Zhigao deliberately pretended to have just seen Cui Liu under the signal of Lei Jian, and suddenly shouted affectionately: "Auntie cousin, aunt cousin, hi hi, I didn't expect to meet you at the Zhangcun Daji, come, you come over, how are you doing?" ”

Cui Liuyi was recognized by Huang Zhigao as soon as he saw it, and heard him shouting in a straight voice, he couldn't dodge it, so he had to walk a few steps quickly to Huang Zhigao, and said angrily: "You kid are afraid that the people in the whole Daji don't know you and me?" Loud voice is like shouting mountain, I have something urgent today, so I won't talk nonsense with you. ”

Huang Zhigao saw that Cui Liu was about to leave as soon as he said it, he hurriedly grabbed him and said affectionately: "Brother Cui Liu, I brought some fried peanuts from home when I came out, you take it back and make a drink, hey, it's difficult for the croppers, there are no good things, don't laugh at my aunt and cousin." ”

Cui Liu took a small bag of fried peanuts handed to him by Huang Zhigao, grabbed a few and threw them into his mouth, and the food was sweet and crispy, when a little devil rushed over, snatched it, kicked Cui Liuyi and scolded: "Bastard, you enjoy peanuts alone, your conscience is greatly broken." ”

Several little devils got together and began to grab the fried peanuts snatched from Cui Liu's hand, Cui Liu frowned and scolded in a low voice: "Bastard." ”

Huang Zhigao took the opportunity to point to the firewood and asked: "Sixth Brother Cui, you are a big celebrity in the eyes of the Imperial Army of the Fort, and you are cooking a good dish, so help me collect the firewood of my brothers." ”

"No, no, the firewood sent by the turret was sent by an acquaintance of the company commander of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and I can't intervene." Cui Liu was telling the truth.

Huang Zhigao begged: "Sixth Brother Cui, we are relatives, you must help with this favor, otherwise I won't be able to say it when I go back, and people who don't know will think that you are a hardcore ...... devil." ”

"Grandma, you kid want me to lose my head, don't you? With a mouth full of tongues, be careful that the Imperial Army hears and cuts off both of our heads. Cui Liu said, shrinking his short neck again in fright.

At this time, Lei Jian leaned forward and said: "This boss, I haven't opened the scale yet, I haven't sold it at all, and the family is still waiting to sell firewood to buy rice for the pot, you can do it, take all these loads of firewood." ”

"Bastard, who do you think you are? I just want to buy firewood, and I don't want you. ”

"You—you're going to have a short life if you talk like that." Lei Jian glared at Cui Liu fiercely and said.

Cui Liuyi heard that this baby actually said that he would have a short life, stretched his thick neck and became angry, and grabbed the collar of the thunder sword, this short man grabbed the collar and stood on tiptoe, the image was very ridiculous.

A few young people who were standing beside them selling firewood saw their regiment commander being grabbed by the collar by a puppet army, and slowly surrounded them one by one, as long as Lei Jian gave an order, he would immediately kill this Humpty Dumpty puppet army who didn't know whether to live or die.

Lei Jian coughed heavily, and a few men selling firewood who were about to approach stopped at this time.

Cui Liucheng grinded his ears with the enemy puppet army all day long, and he saw that Lei Jian spoke in a tough tone, not ordinary croppers dared to be so crossy, and saw the men selling firewood around him, and saw him grab Lei Jian's collar and automatically surround him, this cunning Humpty Dumpty man, immediately let go of the collar of Lei Jian, smoothed it with his hand, and said with a smile: "This brother is very angry, and he is not a local when he speaks, I'm afraid it's this, right?" ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his thumb and index finger twice, and immediately changed his face and stared fiercely at the thunder sword.

Lei Jian said in a low voice: "Brother Cui Liu is really good eyesight, I heard that you are still a filial son, and you are very filial to Huang Zhigao's aunt, that is, your mother, who is in her sixties, when you come, your mother will tell you to be a good person, don't lose the face of your ancestors, and besides, you don't want to live a short life, right?" I....... ”

"This brother, don't say it, if the imperial army hears it, I can't live, none of you can escape, to be honest, send firewood to the turret, I really can't speak, and besides, I haven't dealt with the company commander recently, you just twist off my head, and I can't help." Cui Liu looked really embarrassed and whispered with a bitter face.

"You are the leader of the cooking squad of the enemy puppet army in the turret, collect a few loads of firewood, the company commander of the Imperial Alliance Army will not take your life, right?" Lei Jian whispered fiercely again.

Huang Zhigao saw that Cui Liu kept shirking, so he had to whisper: "Brother Cui Liu, don't be ignorant of current affairs, if we are exposed here, you won't get out of the way, and besides, just send a firewood, is it so difficult?" ”

Just a few little devils who negotiated with Cui Liu to send firewood and competed for peanuts, at this time, the peanuts were gone, rushed to Cui Liu, grabbed them and yelled: "Bastard, you are grinding here, what are you doing, do you know?" ”

"No, no, no......."

Without waiting for Cui Liu to lie, Huang Zhigao took a step forward and said humbly: "Taijun, bosses, Squad Leader Cui is my aunt's cousin, who is my aunt's son, he just saw that our firewood is good, we are bargaining, delaying the good things of the imperial army and several bosses, I'm really embarrassed." ”
