Chapter 5 Returning to the old business
A veteran ruffian like Liu Goat is nothing more than two ways to make money, either to find a pawnshop to charge guns and bullets, or to find a rich family to come to the door to extort bamboo poles, this time Liu Goat plans to find a rich family to extort bamboo poles to get money back. "Look at my eyes for a while, you can do whatever you are told to do, if you don't listen to Lao Tzu, we will have nothing to eat." After giving Jiujin a face-to-face lesson, Liu Goat took Jiujin to grab a begging flower on the street.
Rich people almost have a common problem, that is, the richer they are, the more they pick the door, especially in Fengyang, where the relationship between the rich and the begging person is called Hanako, which is simply the same relationship as enemies. After Liu Goat asked the addresses of the rich here, the Huazi who was blocked in the alley by Liu Goat and Jiujin almost did not hesitate to point out the homes of several rich families to Liu Goat, Xiao Huazi not only took Liu Goat and Jiujin to recognize them, and even hia roughly explained the situation of these rich families, if it weren't for the fact that this clever little Huazi was too small, Liu Goat might also take him all the way south.
Before Liu Goat entered the 88th Division, he had been mixing in the miscellaneous troops, and it was his forte to find rich people to knock on bamboo sticks, and after selecting the target, Liu Goat smashed open the door of one of the rich families with nine catties. "Pop" The barge gun with the nose wide open was slapped on the table by Liu Goat, and the nine catties standing behind Liu Goat also cooperated to find a grenade and put it next to the shell gun, and the frightened rich family trembled like chaff.
"We are the troops of the 156th Division, Lao Tzu's name is Ma Han, our regiment commander is injured and can't walk, I heard that your family has a carriage, our regiment commander asked Lao Tzu to come to the door to borrow, your Yao family is rich and wealthy, it is a famous big family in ten miles and eight townships, I think you should be willing to lend us a carriage to the 156th Division in order to support the Anti-Japanese War, right?" Liu Goat grabbed the cigarette on the table, pinched out one and put it in his mouth, looking at Yao Dahu's family with an indifferent expression.
Yao Dahu, who was already frightened, was definitely unwilling to lend the carriage to Liu Goat, and this look was to come to the door to knock on the bamboo pole, and the carriage was lent out, but it could not be recovered. But with his eyes sweeping the shell gun and the grenade in front of him, Yao Dahu knew that he had no choice, these two people looked like they were fighting the defeated soldiers who withdrew in front of them, such guys are all murderers who don't blink, if they really shoot in their own homes, their families will definitely not be able to fall well. Yao Dahu could only pinch his nose and promise to lend his carriage to Liu Goat, and in order to support the Anti-Japanese War, Yao Dahu also took the initiative to take out 50 pieces of ocean and give it to Liu Goat.
"Then thank you Master Yao for your support of the Anti-Japanese War, I will report to our regiment commander when I go back, and when the Anti-Japanese War is won, our regiment commander will definitely send a plaque to your family, so that everyone in ten miles and eight towns will know about your Yao family's righteous deeds." Throwing the money bag containing the ocean to Jiujin and holding it, Liu Goat's red mouth and white teeth had a few more words with the panicked Yao family, and then Shi Shiran took the Yao family's carriage and left. "Let's go, let's move on to the next one." The Yao family only gave 50 yuan, this is not Liu Goat's bottom line, Tang Cheng wants to buy medicine from Tian Kui, although Liu Goat didn't ask what it was for, but he knew that those things cost a lot of money.
smashed open the doors of several wealthy families one after another, Liu Goat not only got a carriage, but also brought back a bag of ocean, Liu Goat left all the name of the 156th Division and Ma Han's name when he did these things, and the rich people who were knocked on the bamboo pole by him would be afraid that they were scolding the 156th Division and Ma Han at home. "Why don't we go ahead and find a few more? This money is enough to buy dozens of acres of land. The nine catties who drove the car looked back at the pocket containing the money at the feet of Liu Goat, but in an hour, Liu Goat got more than 100 oceans, and now he didn't have to starve anymore.
"You fucking know how to eat, but you don't know anything else besides this." Liu Goat scolded the nine catties who drove the car, and looked back at the back of the car cautiously. With the successive increase of rout soldiers and refugees, the rich families in Fengyang will definitely react, even if they are rich, they will not be ripped off every day. After all, this is the boundary of Fengyang, and it will still be very troublesome for those rich families to report to the official, and the best way is to take Tang Cheng and leave here quickly.
Seeing the carriage that Jiujin drove back, Tian Kui couldn't help but be secretly surprised, but unfortunately, when Tian Kui recognized the carriage as Yao's family, he had already goat on the thief ship of Liu Goat and couldn't get off. Throwing dozens of oceans to Tian Kui, Tang Cheng and Lao Xu got into the carriage with the medicines that had already been loaded, and they didn't care about anything else, leaving here was the most important thing. It can be seen that the horse pulled by the Yao family is very good, Tang Cheng and they drove the carriage all the way out of Fengyang County, and the horse pulling the cart did not have a trace of weak legs and fatigue.
Out of Fengyang County, the number of refugees and routs on the roadside gradually increased, but the refugees and routs who went north were not quite the same as when they withdrew from Shanghai in Tangcheng, and these refugees and routs were almost a dozen or dozens of people gathered together to rush together, rather than hundreds of people on the road together like when they left Shanghai in Tangcheng. Tang Cheng was a little afraid to look at the refugees who were in a hurry, because he was still wearing military uniforms, and in Tang Cheng's consciousness, it was the incompetence of the national army that would cause Shanghai and Nanjing to be lost one after another, and it would also cause so many families to become refugees everywhere.
"I said, can you kid not show such an expression?" Seeing Tang Cheng's thoughts, Liu Goat had the heart to persuade a few words, but he was not born to be a master who could persuade people, and his mouth was either a lesson or a curse, which made Tang Cheng a little speechless. "Fighting, either you win or I win, our weapons and equipment are indeed inferior to other people's little Japan, and they deserve to be chased around, it's not your fault, what do you have to feel guilty about?"
"It's not, I just feel that some people can't stand the people who were left on the Xiaguan wharf, when we crossed the river, there were still so many people on the riverside, and I don't know if it was useless for them to cross the river later." Tang Cheng has always been a little worried about Liu Goat's use of grenades to blow up people's houses, and he knew that Liu Goat would do that for the sake of himself and Jiujin, but he just felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Especially recalling that day, when the Japanese fighters fired barrage strafing and bombardment bombs on the refugees on the riverbank, Tang Cheng's voice began to be a little strange and trembling.
When crossing the river that day, Tang Cheng was overturned by Lang's head and passed out in the river, and he didn't know what happened next. When Tangcheng was desperately dragged up the river bank by nine catties, the Japanese army sent more fighters to fly to the Xiaguan wharf, using the machine guns on the fighters to strafe the crowd back and forth, not to mention, and from time to time dropped bombs to overturn the ferries full of refugees and routs into the heart of the river. Later, the national troops who withdrew from Rujiangmen concentrated a large number of light and heavy machine guns to fire into the air to force back the Japanese planes, otherwise the entire Xiaguan wharf would have been bloodied and became a dead land.
It is precisely because the Japanese army has fighter planes circling back and forth on the river bank to bombard, Liu Goat who went ashore will flee with Jiujin and Tang Cheng to escape, which lost contact with the 88th Division that crossed the river later. On the road, there began to be a rout of the assembled march, most of these routs were eyeing Liu Goat and their carriage, but because of the flower mechanism in Liu Goat's hand and the grenade on the side of the leg of Jiujin, the rout soldiers did not dare to act rashly, at most they stole a few glances when the nine-jin carriage passed them.
Tang Cheng's Shang only began to improve, but it was not good enough to withstand long-term radio waves, so the speed of the nine-catty carriage was not very fast, at most it was a little faster than the speed of normal people. "Uncle Liu, we only have one flower trap and three shell guns left, and there are not many bullets and grenades, there are so many stragglers on the road, should we exchange food and medicine for some weapons and ammunition to come back, just like we are outside Guanghua Gate." Tang Cheng, who was silent for a while, suddenly broke the deadlock, but his proposal made Liu Goat's eyes light up.
"It's worthy of a person who has read books, but what is in his head is different." Liu Goat praised Tang Cheng in a timely manner, in the troubled times, not only before medicine, but also those guns and ammunition are things that can be exchanged for money. To the south, there are many rich landlords and caravans who sell illegal work, these people are the descendants of black market gun dealers, and they all need to buy weapons and ammunition to deal with the homeless people and bandits.
After the money obtained by extorting bamboo to pay for Tian Kui's medicine, Liu Goat also bought a lot of dry food in Fengyang County, not to mention those steamed buns and cooked meat, even the baked cakes that have begun to harden will also become a delicacy for those defeated soldiers. After whispering a few words with Jiujin, Liu Goat handed over the carriage to Lao Xu to drive, and he got out of the carriage with Jiujin carrying half a bag of baked cakes, and walked towards a group of defeated soldiers sitting on the side of the road.
Liu Goat's military rank is captain, although his bureau chief is already tattered and full of stains and bloodstains, but the captain mark on the collar is still there, because those defeated soldiers saw Liu Goat coming towards them, they all unconsciously got up and stood upright, and almost immediately saluted Liu Goat. After chatting with these defeated soldiers for a few words, Liu Shanyang learned that these guys were not troops withdrawn from Nanjing City, and these guys were all deserters from the Fifth War Zone, and they were deserters who were ready to flee back to their hometowns secretly.
"Since you are going home, your weapons and ammunition will not be used, I will give each of you two oceans for the passage, you leave your weapons and ammunition, and then take off your military uniform and go home." Liu Goat asked Jiujin to give each of them two baked cakes, and then exchanged them for a dozen rifles and more than 800 rounds of ammunition for less than 30 yuan, and of course 20 Jiujin's favorite wooden-handled grenades.
