Tangcheng's original route was to go to Huanggang first, and then look for an opportunity from Huanggang to cross the river to the south, but the Japanese army had already occupied Bahe Town, and it would only be difficult to go to Huanggang, so Tangcheng They could only go west along the Lanxi River, trying to cross the river on Bijiazhou through Lanxi Town, and then cross the river from Bijiazhou. This route was proposed by Uncle Han, and compared with Tang Cheng, who was not familiar with the terrain, Old Man Han, who had lived in Xishui County for generations, was fully qualified for the work of a guide.

After Wangjiawan, the number of villages on the way began to increase, and the people watching the continuous crops were even more pleasant to the eye, but Tang Cheng's mood became heavy. When he left Yongxing Village, Tang Cheng always thought that Bahe Town was in the east of Xishui County, but he didn't expect that Bahe Town was in the west of Xishui County, and the original plan to go to Huanggang to cross the river had to be changed, but fortunately, there was Uncle Han, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to find the road.

The fact that the Japanese army was able to occupy Bahe Town shows that they at least have the ability to control the surface of the river, so that when crossing the river, they may encounter the surface troops of the Japanese army. "What do you want to do so much, we have guns and ammunition in our hands, it's a big deal, let's fight with the little devil, if it doesn't work, let's go into the mountains and hide, I don't believe that this little devil can always occupy our place and not leave." Tang Cheng's silence attracted the consolation of the old Northeast, starting from the ambush of the Japanese army in Macheng, Tang Cheng's ability has gradually won the recognition of the old Northeast, and at this time, only the old Northeast can persuade Tang Cheng.

Tang Cheng glared at Lao Dongbei with a smile, this guy from Baishan and Heishui is a bandit at all, he always wants to go up the mountain to be a bandit, if he says so in the 88th Division, Lao Dongbei will definitely be locked up and confined. The carriage went all the way to the west, and when it arrived at Lanxi Town, the sun had already set in the west, and under the guidance of Uncle Han, Han Shanhu and Liu Shishi drove the carriage to a large courtyard. "This is an old friend's house, and he also carried a gun like me in his early years, and someone in his family is in Bijiazhou, so we can ask him for help when we cross the river." Uncle Han jumped out of the carriage and smashed the courtyard gate with a strong fist.

"Who is it? I can't afford to smash the door like this. With the voice of response, an old man with the same wrinkled face as Uncle Han opened the door from the courtyard. At the first glance, Tang Cheng couldn't help but feel a beat in his heart, this old man had a murderous aura on his body, and he looked more like he had carried a gun and killed someone than Uncle Han.

"Ma Dapeng, you son of a bitch, it's Lao Tzu and me, how many times did you smash the door?" As soon as Ma Dapeng, who was full of anger, stretched out his head, he was hit by the laughing Uncle Han, who was holding his head and was about to get angry, but he saw Uncle Han standing in front of him clearly, and immediately hugged Uncle Han with a bear hug. Xiaolian, who was picked up by Han Shanhu from the carriage, opened her mouth and looked at her grandfather, who was usually a slow person, but he would cry and laugh like a child.

"Han Laojiu, why did you remember me here on a dog day? Didn't you say that we don't get along with each other for a long time? Ma Dapeng, who let go of his arms, carefully looked at the old man's face, and couldn't help but reach out and punch Uncle Han's chest. Han Laojiu, your dog's complexion is still so good, take a walk, go into the house and talk. Ignoring Tang Cheng and the others, Ma Dapeng just dragged Uncle Han to the yard, and Tang Cheng and the others had to unload the car and move the things into the yard by themselves.

The courtyard of the Ma family is not very large, and the gate seen from the outside is almost the size of a wall, and after entering the courtyard, Tang Cheng found that the courtyard is far smaller than he imagined, but the yard is almost full by the two carriages. "You're going to cross the river?" After a cup of hot tea, Ma Dapeng exclaimed, he thought that his old friend had come up to visit him, but he didn't expect that the people of the Han family were going to cross the river at night.

"It might have been easier for you to come a month earlier, but now there are always Japanese motorboats on the river, and besides, the big boats on the river have long been taken away by the national army on the other side, and ordinary fishing boats can't cross the river at all, so I'm afraid this matter is not easy to do." Ma Dapeng said with some embarrassment. Now Ma Dapeng is just an old man who is almost 60 years old, and the bravery of the past is long gone, even if he has the heart to help his old friend, but the Japanese motorboat on the river will never let the boat cross the river.

Ma Dapeng said that there was no way to help cross the river, but Old Man Han didn't believe what his old friend said just now, after almost ten years of military career, Old Man Han was very familiar with his old friend's temperament. "Dapeng, don't call you to do it in vain, we have ten long fires in our hands, leave you a long fire and 50 bullets, as long as you send us across the river, we will give you another 50 bullets and a short fire." If ordinary people heard Old Man Han's words, they might have some ideas, but Old Man Han was familiar with Ma Dapeng's temperament and knew what Ma Dapeng was interested in.

One long and one short two guns plus 100 rounds of ammunition, this kind of reward is not small, Ma Dapeng's half-closed eyes immediately widened, and he promised to help Old Man Han and them cross the river. Since entering the courtyard, Ma Dapeng has not spoken to Tang Cheng and the three of them, knowing that this Ma Dapeng is a know-it-all but pretending not to care about the three of them, Tang Cheng has never interjected, he just watched the conversation between Old Man Han and Ma Dapeng coldly.

Those weapons and ammunition were all captured from the Japanese soldiers, and it was nothing to give Ma Dapeng two, and besides, what Tang Cheng lacked now was grenades and shell gun bullets, and Tang Cheng was not interested in those Hanyang-made rifles at all. The old northeast was still a little resentful of the old man Han's unauthorized claims, but Tang Cheng shook his head at the old northeast again and again, and secretly signaled that the old northeast should not act rashly. The most important thing now is to cross the river, and those things outside the body are completely out of Tang Cheng's consideration.

Hearing that they had ten rifles in their hands in Tangcheng, Ma Dapeng's attitude changed, in troubled times, the importance of weapons is equivalent to food, especially Ma Dapeng, who has been a soldier and killed people, knows the importance of weapons. When night fell, Ma Dapeng's house was brightly lit, the women and children were eating in the house, Tang Cheng and the men were sitting in the courtyard, Ma Dapeng's son and a son-in-law accompanied Tang Cheng and them, and Ma Dapeng, as a parent, went out early to contact the boats crossing the river.

Compared with the ease of Old Man Han and Han Shanhu, Old Northeast and Liu Shishi are much more vigilant, the wine bowl on the table has not moved a drop, and Old Dongbei and Liu Shishi, who have eaten early, have been wiping their guns together. The unfamiliarity of life made the old northeast full of vigilance, and Liu Shishi, who was a small ghost, was afraid that Ma Dapeng would secretly do the trick, and the two of them were staring at the men of the Ma family while wiping their guns, once Tang Cheng turned his face, the two of them could immediately shoot and kill the people of the Ma family to control the situation.

After eating and drinking, Ma Dapeng came back from outside wearing his own clothes, and a man with a knife face followed him into the door. "Han Laojiu, this is the housekeeper of the rich man Li in the town, his family wants to buy a few long fires from you, I brought the people, you say it yourself." Ma Dapeng's words made Old Man Han subconsciously turn his head to look at Tang Cheng, these weapons and ammunition were all snatched from the Japanese soldiers by Tang Cheng and Lao Dongbei, and only Tang Cheng could make the decision to dispose of those rifles.

When they arrived in Lanxi Town, the three of Tang Cheng had already changed into civilian clothes, so the people of the Ma family and the housekeeper of the rich man Li did not know Tang Cheng's identity, especially Ma Dapeng thought that Tang Cheng and the three of them were distant relatives of the Han family. This will suddenly see his old friend turn his head to look at Tang Cheng, who has always loved not to speak, Ma Dapeng, who is good at observing words and feelings, sighed in his heart, could it be that this kid who has not spoken since entering his own door is the person in charge?

"10 oceans for a rifle, plus 50 rounds of ammunition for each rifle, here is 90 oceans, take out the guns and bullets." The knife-faced housekeeper took out a money bag and threw it on the stone table in the courtyard, Liu Shishi reached out and grabbed the money bag and weighed it for a while, knowing that the amount of the ocean in the money bag was not enough. Seeing Liu Shishi's action of weighing the money bag, the knife face couldn't help but flutter for a moment, Liu Shishi's action just now was obviously a veteran of fiddling with money, and the other party must have seen that the amount of ocean in the money bag was wrong.

"Each rifle is 20 oceans, 400 rounds of ammunition are counted as money, okay, if it doesn't work, you can pull it, our rifles are ninety percent new, not rags picked up from the side of the road." Before Liu Shishi could speak, Lao Dongbei, who was sitting in the corner wiping his gun, opened his mouth first. The rifles that Tang Cheng took them to the outskirts of Macheng were far less new than these rifles, but they were not less than 15 yuan of a rifle, and the people brought by Ma Dapeng were so low in price, it was obvious that they were here to take advantage of the autumn breeze.

"This brother, harmony can make money, in this Lanxi Town, except for our Li family, who else can buy all your rifles back at once, and the price we gave is not low, if you are checked by the people of the militia group, maybe you will not be able to take a piece of the ocean and have to suffer a lawsuit." was asked for a high price by the old northeast, but the knife face was not angry, but showed a smiling face, but the meaning of his words made Tang Cheng frown.

"Are you trying to say that if we don't sell the gun to your Li family at this price, you will have to take the things away without spending money, and you will make us suffer a lawsuit?" Tang Cheng took the money bag handed by Liu Shishi slowly, took out the ocean in the money bag one by one and piled it on the stone table. Knife Face didn't know who Tang Cheng was, but he felt the disdain for himself in Tang Cheng's expression.

had the intention to refute Tang Cheng, but seeing the shell gun that had been assembled in the hands of the old northeast, the knife-faced butler didn't dare to answer Tang Cheng's words, but just gave Ma Dapeng a look, but the latter only cared about talking to Old Man Han and ignored his eyes at all.
