Zhang Lan has been very busy recently, there will be people in Zhangwu County who come to join the army every day, and before they enter the training camp outside the city, these people have to rely on Zhangwu County to eat, drink, and Lazar. No matter where it is, as long as there are more people, things will follow, the public security in the county is ranked first by Zhang Lan, no matter what time it is, there can be no chaos in the county, the 100 people of the Luoyanshan guerrillas are obviously not enough, Zhang Lan had to exercise her power as the county magistrate, and temporarily recruited a group of policemen to manage the public security of the county.

Fighting, eating and paying off, and molesting women, these are all easy to say, but now the biggest headache for Zhang Lan is the food problem, the rich families in the city have food in their hands, but those grains have long been set by Zhao Zhi as rations for the army. The Jewish Legion and mercenary troops under Zhao Zhi, plus the reinforced regiments of the National Army that have arrived in Zhangwu one after another, are full of more than 60,000 people, and the food in Zhao Zhi's hands is really enough for those soldiers to be rationed for three months. But what about those who came to join the army? This problem was thrown to Zhang Lan by Zhao Zhi, and these days, Zhang Lan is trying to find a way to solve this matter.

Going to the countryside to collect grain, this is Zhang Lan's only way now, the recruits who have been selected into the training camp have been seconded by Zhang Lan 2,000 people, they don't do anything else, they just go to the ten miles and eight townships around Zhangwu County every day to collect grain. Even with such efforts, the food Zhang Lan got was only enough for those guys outside the city to eat for a month, and after a month, Zhao Zhi's training camp would be closed when the food ran out.

"Sister, you better eat first, look at how long you have been the county magistrate, what has become of you" Xiaolian, who came in with the food, saw that Zhang Lan who was taking a lunch break was still reading those official documents, so she complained about Zhang Lan angrily. This simple peasant sister's parents died early, and when she was in Luoyan Mountain, she was responsible for taking care of Zhang Lan's life, so she has been commensurate with Zhang Lan's sisters until now. I thought that Zhang Lan becoming the county magistrate was a matter of glory, but after only half a month, Zhang Lan's whole person was gone.

"Okay, housekeeper, listen to you, let's eat now" Zhang Lan smiled and put away the things on the table, took the handkerchief handed over by Xiaolian and wiped her hands, picked up the bowl and filled a large mouthful of food into her mouth very exaggeratedly, and praised Xiaolian's delicious cooking, "Oh, the dishes made by our Xiaolian are delicious, if anyone marries you in the future, it will really be a blessing from eight lifetimes, but I don't know who this lucky guy will be"

Xiaolian, who was busy putting vegetables in Zhang Lan's bowl, was blushing, but just like that, Zhang Lan still refused to let her go, "Think about it, is it an aquatic life?" I look at the aquatic life is also good, and can farm and hunt, to look good, and our Xiaolian is really a good match" Zhang Lan looked at Xiaolian with a smile, and easily stuffed a meatball into Xiaolian's mouth. It has long been common for two sisters to laugh and play like this, and neither of them will be angry because of this.

Only half of the meal was eaten, and Sun Jinren, who was in charge of the security and defense of the county government compound, rubbed in, why did he say that he rubbed it? That's because Sun Jinren didn't walk in at a normal pace, he simply rubbed in one step and three times, if Sun Jinren at this time was close to the wall, then he was very in line with the idiom of a thief head and a thief brain. Sun Jinren's appearance appeared, Zhang Lan couldn't see it or not, "Captain Sun, what's wrong with you today?" In the past, you came to me, this is not this picture, are you afraid that I will drive you out? ”

Zhang Lan was just joking, but she didn't know that Sun Jinren was thinking exactly this in her heart, and said that if I took out that thing, maybe you would really kick me out. As the old saying goes, when it rains in the world, the mother wants to get married, since she owes her mouth to others, no matter whether Zhang Lan will throw herself out or not, that thing still has to be taken out. Sun Jinren simply gritted his teeth and took out a box hidden behind him, "This is sent to you by Tang Lei, I don't know what kind of object it is, you can see for yourself" Sun Jinren put the box on the table and hurriedly left by himself.

Glancing at Zhang Lan, Xiaolian asked with some concern, "Sister, let me open it for you, if it's not a good thing, I'll throw it away for you, and it will save you the need to deal with it" Tang Lei's matter, Xiaolian knows a little bit, she hasn't seen Tang Lei, and she doesn't know what kind of person Tang Lei is. But she hates Tang Lei, if it weren't for this man, her sister Zhang Lan would not be misunderstood by everyone when she fell in Yanshan, and she couldn't even take care of her injured sister with her.

For Xiaolian's kindness, Zhang Lan just shook her head, she knew that Tang Lei was an extremely proud man, and he would never embarrass himself in such a matter, since this thing can be sent by Sun Jinren, then it is by no means an object that should be used by people. "It's a fountain pen" Zhang Lan slowly opened the box, which contained a fountain pen, when she was in Beiping, Zhang Lan saw such a fountain pen in the hands of a professor at Peking University, it is said that it is not sold in China, even in foreign countries, ordinary people cannot afford this kind of fountain pen.

"It's so beautiful" Xiaolian looked enviously at the pen Zhang Lan held in her hand, when she fell in Yanshan, Zhang Lan would teach Xiaolian to read and write as soon as she was free, more than a year, Xiaolian has been able to read and write thousands of words, some simple official documents, Xiaolian can now stumble to read down, she naturally knows that the pen is used for writing. "Sister, there is still a note in this box" Xiaolian took out a note folded in half from the box and handed it to Zhang Lan, if she hadn't fiddled with this good-looking box, she really wouldn't have thought that there was a small note inside.

"I'm about to go out on a mission, the pen will be sent to you as a souvenir" Zhang Lan looked at the note in her hand, and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, although Tang Lei did not write any words on the note, but Zhang Lan felt that Tang Lei's task this time would never be simple, if it were not for this, a person of Tang Lei's personality would never take the initiative to mention to himself that he was going to go on a mission. Thinking of this, Zhang Lan couldn't help but feel a little flustered, hurriedly grabbed Xiaolian's arm, and said eagerly, "Xiaolian, you hurry up and go to Captain Sun now and ask Tang Lei what the task is."

Xiaolian was a little puzzled by Zhang Lan's approach, didn't she say a long time ago that she had nothing to do with that Tang Lei? But Xiaolian looked at Zhang Lan's bloody face that suddenly lost her color, and couldn't help but soften her heart again, and the ghost almost nodded and ran out in a hurry. Xiaolian went to find Sun Jinren, Zhang Lan, who was alone in the room, suddenly felt very cold, and when she promised Rowling to come to the county seat to help, Zhang Lan had already thought of meeting Tang Lei, but she had been in the county for half a month, and Tang Lei had not met her once.

Zhang Lan knew that Tang Lei was deliberately avoiding herself, the last incident was not Tang Lei's fault in the final analysis, everything was just a misunderstanding, Zhang Dongkui misunderstood that Tang Lei and himself were interested in each other, so he reported it to Zhao Zhi. And Zhao Zhi and Luo Lin also proposed to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army with good intentions, but the whole thing was a mess like this, Tang Lei has been hiding from himself, and he will be embarrassed when he meets him. Zhang Lan had been telling herself in her heart that he had nothing to do with Tang Lei, but after suddenly hearing the news that Tang Lei was about to go on the expedition, she couldn't help but be a little worried, even scared.

"Sister, I asked Captain Sun, and he said he didn't know, so I went to find Luo Ying in the barracks again. Luo Ying said that this time it was a secret mission, he couldn't say, but he said that Tang Lei's mission this time was very dangerous, and their husband gave Tang Lei 40 sets of Japanese military uniforms that were different from other Japanese soldiers, and Tang Lei was afraid that he would have to go for a month to come back this time.

"40 different sets of military uniforms, come back in a month" Zhang Lan muttered to herself, then stood up, and the sound of the chair on the ground did not make Zhang Lan wake up. Zhang Lan, who had a word in her mouth, scared Xiaolian into tears, she didn't know what was wrong with Zhang Lan, she was fine just now, how could she listen to what she said and became like this"

"Sister, sister, what's wrong with you? You look at me, I'm Xiaolian, sister, wake up" Xiaolian cried and hugged Zhang Lan, who wanted to go out, and put her little face full of tears up, so that Zhang Lan could see who she was.

Zhang Lan, who was shaken by Xiaolian's death, struggled to break free of Xiaolian, who was like an octopus, and said with a wry smile, "I'm Zhang Lan, the county magistrate here, you are Zhang Lian, my sister I recognize, am I right?" With her free hand and Xiaolian's brain collapsed, Zhang Lan raised her feet and walked outside the room, "I was just thinking about the problem just now, and I'm not really stupid."

Zhang Lan really wanted to go out for a walk, she wanted to go to Zhao Zhi and ask what task Tang Lei was given this time. Although Zhang Lan said that she did not have the experience of facing the Japanese puppet army face-to-face, this did not mean that she did not know how to analyze intelligence. Zhang Lan didn't know what the Japanese military uniforms were like that were different from other Japanese troops, but she knew that the only use of Tang Lei getting these military uniforms was to disguise themselves as Japanese soldiers, and the month-long task would never be as simple as reconnaissance behind enemy lines, Zhang Lan wanted to know what Zhao Zhi sent Tang Lei to do.

It's a pity that when Zhang Lan arrived at the barracks, Tang Lei and his 40 subordinates had already set off, and all Zhang Lan saw was Tang Lei's empty room. Rowling pulled the red-eyed Zhang Lan away, I don't know what they said, but when Zhang Lan left the barracks, the expression on her face was obviously much better. Zhao Zhi quietly asked Rowling afterwards, but Rowling only replied with two words, "confidential"
