At the gate of the city, many people lined up to enter the city. They were all searched by the puppet troops to avoid bringing weapons into the city.
Li Jin and Liu Changshun were also queuing up, and soon it was their turn. The two puppet soldiers groped Li Jin and Liu Changshun casually twice before letting them into the city.
There are many vendors on both sides of the street, some selling food, some selling sesame seeds, and some selling small hangings.
From time to time, a dozen or so Japanese patrols passed by.
"Boss, why do I feel like there are more Japs in this county than in Changyuan County?" Liu Changshun said.
The base area in Changyuan County is the closest, but there are only two to three hundred Japs guarding it, but in this county, it feels like there are at least 800 Japs.
"Well, it's a bit too much." Li Jin nodded, but Guyuan County is very close to the Japs' railway transportation, so it is normal to have so many Japs.
The key thing is that he feels that the number of Japs in this county has increased a lot.
At this time, an eight or nine-year-old boy came to Li Jin carrying an open box hanging around his neck. The box was filled with cigarettes.
"Brother, do you want to buy cigarettes?" the little boy said. He felt that since these two people were so strong, their families must have a lot of money and could afford cigarettes.
Li Jin took a look and said, "How much does this box of cigarettes cost?"
"One dollar and a half" the little boy replied happily. This was the first time he had seen such a wealthy person. people.
Li Jin touched his pocket and gave the little boy three oceans.
"These three oceans will buy you cigarettes and boxes." Li Jin said.
“You don’t need so much, just two yuan will be enough.” The little boy looked at the ocean in his hand and wanted to return a piece to Li Jin.
"Take it for you and give me the cigarettes." Li Jin didn't waste any time, took the box off the little boy's neck and covered it.
Then he took Liu Changshun and left.
"Thank you, thank you." The little boy kept bowing from behind and kept saying thank you.
After handing over two pieces of these oceans, he could secretly get a piece of them.
"You can buy meat for your mother to eat." The little boy left happily.
"Boss, if I spend so much money to buy these cigarettes, if Deputy Xu finds out, I won't scold you to death," Liu Changshun said.
Deputy Platoon Commander Xu was very careful about everything he bought. If he knew that Li Jin spent three dollars to buy a box of cigarettes, he would probably breathe a sigh of relief.
Although the soldiers have all learned to smoke, they only smoke dry cigarettes. The cigarettes were confiscated during the previous fight against the Japanese.
"It's a trivial matter. It's me who is being scolded. The soldiers should be allowed to smoke well." Li Jin said, scolding is indispensable without a piece of meat, so he scolded.
Hearing this, Liu Changshun didn’t say much.
"Take it." Li Jin opened the box and threw a pack of cigarettes to Liu Changshun.
"Hey, thank you, platoon leader." Liu Changshun smiled.
“Hide it, let others find it, don’t tell itIf you smoke, the butt of the cigarette won't belong to you. "Li Jin said with a smile.
"Of course." Liu Changshun stuffed the cigarette into his pocket and covered it tightly.
The dry tobacco warriors did not let it go. Forget about cigarettes, Liu Changshun wanted to taste this pack of good cigarettes secretly.
Li Jin closed the box and carried it in his hand. Following the address given by Xiaoru, he took Liu Changshun to the West District and then entered a small alley.
“Chen Shangwen lives in a quite remote place. "Liu Changshun said.
"It's not bad. "Li Jin said.
Not long after, Li Jin saw Chen Shangwen's home.
At this moment, a little boy was peeing in front of Chen Shangwen's house.
"Hey, what are you doing, kid? Why are you peeing at someone's door?" Liu Changshun scolded him. This kid is too ignorant.
"It's none of your business. This is the home of a traitor. My mother said you won’t be beaten if you pee in front of his house.” The little boy pulled up his pants and trotted away.
Liu Changshun was speechless for a moment.
Li Jinque Without saying much, he came to the door and found that the door was locked, but the lock was new. It was obvious that people came back often.
Looking around, Li Jin came to the side and looked at it. He took two steps back, stepped on the wall, and jumped into the courtyard.
Liu Changshun followed suit and climbed in.
"The platoon leader. , Chen Shangwen probably won't be able to come back so soon, do we have to wait?" Liu Changshun looked at the yard and said.
The yard is not big, there is only a stone table and a few stone benches, near the left There is also a cart on the courtyard wall.
“Wait. "Li Jin came to the kitchen, took a look at the pot, and the porridge. Chen Shangwen should be back for lunch soon.
Going out to the yard, Li Jin sat down in front of the stone table and put the box in his hands. Putting it on the table, he opened the box and took out a pack of cigarettes.
“Smoke one. "Li Jin threw a cigarette to Liu Changshun, took one in his mouth, and then took out a box of matches from his pocket and lit the cigarette.
Thick white smoke was exhaled from his mouth, and his mood was also high. It’s much better.
“Damn it, this cigarette is easy to smoke, but it’s just not as strong as dry cigarettes. "Liu Changshun also puffed out his mouth.
Dry tobacco has a strong stamina and is quite spicy in the throat. Those who have never smoked it will probably choke.
I waited for more than ten minutes. Finally, both Li Jin and Liu Changshun had smoked several cigarette butts on the ground.
At this time, footsteps came from outside, and then they stopped suddenly at the door.
"Damn it, these bastards pissed in my house again. "Chen Shangwen's voice came from outside the door.
"Chen Shangwen is back. Liu Changshun said.
Soon, Chen Shangwen unlocked the door and entered.
When he saw Li Jin in the yard, he was overjoyed and quickly stuck his head out to look outside. , after seeing no one, he quickly closed the door.
"Chen Shangwen, long time no see, please remember me." Li Jin said with a smile.
"Platoon Leader Li, you are finally here. I thought you didn't care about me." Chen Shangwen said with joy.
In the past few months, no one has contacted him at all, and he wondered if he had been abandoned.
"Haha, how could it be? I have too many things to do, so I didn't take care of you." Li Jin said.
"How are my wife and mother doing?" Chen Shangwen asked. What he cared about most was his wife and mother.
"You are living a good life. Your wife asked me to bring you a message to remind you to be safe. She and the children are waiting for you." Li Jin said.
"As long as you live a good life, it's okay as long as you live a good life." Chen Shangwen nodded.
"Tell me, are there a lot more Japs in this county?" Li Jin asked.
"Well, there are more than two hundred Japs. Three months ago, a Japs regiment leader came to the county seat." Chen Shangwen nodded and replied.
The Japanese commander came three months ago and brought more than two hundred Japanese with him.
"That's it." Li Jin nodded.
"Platoon Leader Li, I also have something important to tell you. A month ago, hundreds of puppet troops from our county were transferred to Tonghu Town.
It is said that the Japanese have found a mine in the Beichen Mountains north of Tonghu Town," Chen Shangwen said quickly.
He learned this from several returning puppet soldiers. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
