Chapter 1585: Go early rather than late

"This Japanese candy bar is poisonous? How did you know?"

In the bear's den, it was not Hu Bazhi who asked this question, but Zhao Jinyu.

"Not poisonous"

Wei Ran said, picked up one, looked at it and explained, "This tin tube used to contain poison and smoke paste. I thought it was inside It's still a big smoke paste."

"Can it be eaten?"

Hu Bazhi said, already breaking out two candy bars and giving one to Zhao Jinyu. pellets.

“It’s edible”

As he spoke, Wei Ran threw the candy into his mouth and continued to check the Japanese backpack.

The remaining space in the bag contained several boxes of canned Japanese beef, a Japanese lunch box, and a large bottle of sake.

Open the Japanese lunch box. There is no food in the lunch box, but it is almost full of tobacco. There is also a small cigarette pouch and a stack of cigarette papers in the tray, as well as a brass lighter.

Obviously, this pack of cigarettes, alcohol, and candies was by no means someone’s personal belongings. Instead, it was probably the “common property” of the Japs squad just now.

"I'll try this Japs' pipe"

As he spoke, Hu Bazhi had already picked up the Japs' pipe rod, pressed some shredded tobacco into the pot, lit it, and smoked. After taking two puffs, he shook his head and said, "It's not as powerful as dry smoke, and the smoke pot is a bit too small."

"I'll give it a try"

Zhao Jinyu said Then, he also picked up a piece of cigarette paper, skillfully rolled a toad cigarette and lit it.

"Brother, how did you get arrested by the Japanese? What are you doing today?"

Hu Ba pointed to the two sacks containing the loot. He opened the bag and poured out the contents, gesturing to Wei Ran to count the loot with him.

“The Japanese captured me more than half a month ago when they were searching the mountains.”

When Zhao Jinyu said this, he untied his cotton-padded clothes and revealed the suit underneath. A piece of white cloth sewn on the prison uniform explained, "I am a thought prisoner. After I was caught by the Japanese, I was sent to the forest farm to cut wood.

The weather is getting colder and colder. The Japanese After listening to the nonsense told by the puppet soldier just now, we decided to hunt some wild dogs and make some dog skin hats to wear."

"Let you beat them?" Wei Ran asked subconsciously, "Aren't they? Do you have a gun?"

"No!"

Zhao Jinyu said angrily, "Those naughty little devils are trying to torture us to death, and I heard that , the girl with the handlebar style made a baby for Hu Yi.

This time the dog was beaten, it was probably because the husband and son-in-law colluded to get some dog skins to keep warm.

Anyway, those little devils don’t know how to make dog-skin hats. Why don’t you let the translator come forward in the end?”

“Are the remaining people also thought prisoners?” Wei Ran held back the hatred in his heart. Yi asked.

"The fight is over.The one who is ready to fight is the thought criminal, and the rest are the strong men captured from around. "

"These stupid devils will make people and dogs fight for a dog-skin hat! ”

Hu Bazhi gritted his teeth and cursed. His father was also arrested and he didn’t know whether he was alive or dead. At this time of year, was he also dragged into beating dogs?

He didn’t know, but he would inevitably think so. The more he thought about it, the more hatred he felt in his heart.

“Are you a member of the Anti-Union Alliance? Wei Ran followed the words and asked, "How else could he become a thought criminal?" "

"I am not yet a member of the Anti-Japanese Alliance."

Zhao Jinyu took a puff of the toad cigarette he rolled, "My brother is, and I am planning to defect to him. , but he was arrested before he could be found. "

Seeing that Wei Ran did not continue to ask further, Hu Bazhi said in time, "We will wait for the rest of the way to play when we get back. Let's take a look at what we grabbed." "

Hearing this, Zhao Jinyu also looked at the things poured out of the large sack.

There were five "Taro bags" in this bag. Except for each Each one was stuffed with a Japanese kettle with a woolen animal leather cover and already filled with gasoline, as well as more or less miscellaneous items such as rations, letters, and seals.

These lunch boxes were all filled with still hot rice, with a thick layer of rice poured on top. There is a layer of braised pork. On the tray, there are some side dishes such as shredded red ginger and pickled cucumbers. There are also small aluminum bowls hanging on the handles of the lunch box.

Hu Ba pointed and pulled out two more red copper materials, shaped like turtle shells, and also had animal skin covers on the outside. Tang Pozi said, "The same goes for these two. They were both filled with hot water at the time, and I filled them with gasoline. "

"Every time that team of Japs comes out with an excuse, they always find a place to drink secretly," Zhao Jinyu explained, "I've seen them several times."

"Come on, it's an advantage for us. ! "

As Hu Bazhi said, he had already picked up two lunch boxes and handed them to Wei Ran and Zhao Jinyu respectively.

"Don't be in a hurry to eat, let's see what else is there. "

As Wei Ran said, he rummaged through the pile of clothes that he had taken off. Apart from a few Japanese cotton-padded clothes, cotton trousers and boots, the rest were a full 15 ammunition boxes. Nearly 500 rounds of 38-cap bullets and 8 Japanese grenades, as well as various valuables such as silver coins, military tickets, and some gold rings.

That’s it, I haven’t even counted it. Hu Ba pointed to the three boxes and the stove.

“Only five Japs are so fat. If we keep all those Japs, we can celebrate the New Year in advance. "Hu Bazhi said greedily.

"We are lucky this time."

Wei Ran reminded, "If you hadn't used marlezi to scare them,And that grenade was thrown accurately, so they wouldn't retreat so easily. ”

“To make rice, make rice first! "

Hu Bazhi didn't care about that. He picked up a lunch box, opened it, poured all the side dishes in the tray into the "rice bowl", and then took out his eating knife from his boot. He pulled out a pair of chopsticks and started to shovel the rice into his mouth.

Seeing this, Zhao Jinyu rummaged through the pile of trophies, found a spoon, rubbed it on Taro's bag, and took it too. Let’s open a lunch box for him.

“Don’t just eat, let’s also drink some Japanese wine. "

As Wei Ran said, he picked up the large bottle of sake in his bag, took down the three small aluminum bowls hanging on the handles of the Japanese lunch boxes, and poured a glass for everyone.< /p>

“Do it! "Wei Ran picked up the cup and said.

"Do it! "

For a moment, the glasses in the hands of the three people clinked together, and then each took a sip.

"This wine is not as good as sorghum wine"

Hu Bazhi frowned and said, "It's not the same degree, just like it has been mixed with water. "

"It's not as good as kumiss," Zhao Jinyu also said subconsciously.

"Have you ever drank kumiss? "

Wei Ran asked curiously. At the same time, he took out the food knife given by Hu Bazhi from his boot, picked up a piece of braised pork from the lunch box assigned to him and put it into his mouth.< /p>

Fortunately, although the sake did not suit the taste of the three of them, the braised pork was a real Chinese flavor.

Zhao Jinyu grinned, "I am from the Mongolian ethnic group, and my family is here. Hyrule. ”

Using this topic, the three of them chatted while eating. It was during this chat that Wei Ran and Hu Bazhi also learned that there were four brothers and sisters in Zhao Jinyu’s family. .

The eldest brother Zhao Jinge and the third brother Zhao Jinshan joined the Northeast Anti-Resistance League a few years ago, and the second sister Zhao Jinlan married in Shanxi.

"At the beginning of this year, my father and I returned. Some villagers were captured by the Japanese and went to Beishankou to build an airport and dig fortifications. "

Zhao Jinyu couldn't help but trembled when he said this, "That place is the Palace of Hell! My father was exhausted after less than a month.

Before he died, he told me to escape no matter what, to find my eldest and second brothers, and fight the Japanese together to avenge him. "

Speaking of this, Zhao Jinyu took a big spoonful of braised pork and put it into his mouth. While chewing, he said, "I took advantage of the white-haired wind one day and climbed seven roads in a row. I escaped from the barbed wire fence, but when I was shaved, there was not a single piece of good skin on my body.

I followed the address my brother left for me, begging for food and asking questions all the way before I got here. The result was good, I finally found someone who knew where my brother had gone, and he was called out. The Japanese and traitors blocked the place. "

"Can you still find your brother? "Wei Ran asked.

"It should be possible"

Zhao Jinyu thought for a while and said, "That person told me at that time where my brother and the others went. "

"Where? "HuEight Fingers asked subconsciously.

However, when this question was asked, Zhao Jinyu fell into silence.

"Let's eat first, and we'll talk about the rest when we get back."

Wei Ran said, winking at Hu Ba, changing the subject and deliberately asking unimportant questions. , "There is something I still don't understand. When we were laying an ambush, how did you shoot the iron sand gun and then run so fast to shoot somewhere else?"

"I was not in the iron sand The gun is hidden there."

Hu Bazhi said proudly, "I tied the iron sand gun to a tree not far from the mass grave. I also tied a stone to the fire door. I want to open it. When shooting, just shoot an arrow from a distance and let the stone fall. If he can hit the puppet soldier, it is just his bad luck."

Through this topic, San. Everyone was snoring as they put braised pork and rice into their mouths, but they didn't drink much of the sake that didn't quite suit their taste.

After filling his stomach, Wei Ran pointed to the trophies on the floor and said, "Let's share this among the three of us."

"I don't want it anymore"

Zhao Jinyu said quickly, "I don't know how to repay the two eldest brothers for saving my life. They also gave me xiangzi. I'm satisfied."

"Brother Wei picked first. Right?"

Hu Bazhi also patted the three boxes on his waist very generously, "I will be satisfied with this, teach me how to use it later."

"Then I'm not welcome."

As Wei Ran said, he first pulled the cowhide Zhaowu backpack in front of him. This thing could help him cover himself when taking things out of the metal book. .

Immediately afterwards, he took out the lunch box containing the tobacco, the bottle of sake, and the tube of candy. "This bag belongs to me, and I will get a box of rice. Give it to me." A soup bag filled with gasoline, I want these things."

"Nothing else?"

Hu Bazhi asked in surprise, there are more than just these trophies. There are a lot of silver dollar military coupons and the like, especially when Wei Ran just threw a bunch of gold rings into the pile of trophies.

"Keep those yellow and white things, and buy a decent outfit for Brother Jinyu when you go back." Wei Ran shook the dog fur coat on his body and said.

“You can’t use it like this”

Wei Ran waved his hand nonchalantly, “If you don’t need it, just keep it yourself and find a place to hide it. This time we want guns. If I have bullets and even several grenades, I will have a better chance of following you to ambush the Japanese in a few days."

"Alright"

Hu Bazhi listened to Wei Ran. He was secretly relieved. He originally thought that Wei Ran was going to follow Zhao Jinyu to find his brother Zhao Jinge.

"You are going to fight the Japanese?"

Zhao Jinyu spoke at this time, "How about you take me with you?"

"You want it too Go?"

"IWe went to find my eldest and second brothers just to fight the Japanese."

Zhao Jinyu said matter-of-factly, "If you can't find them, it's the same as following Brother Wei and Brother Hu to fight the Japanese. Anyway, as long as you can fight the Japanese, that's fine. "

Seeing Hu Bazhi looking at him, Wei Ran put away his own things and said, "Follow you to fight the Japanese. You are the boss. You have the final say whether to take them or not." "

"Okay! Then the three of us brothers will do something big together! "Hu Bazhi made a decision simply.

"Then it's settled."

Wei Ran stood up as he spoke, carrying his own belongings. Knapsack said, "I'll go around to see if any Japanese are chasing me. "

"Let me go! "Hu Bazhi and Zhao Jinyu also wanted to get up.

"You two have a rest."

As he spoke, Wei Ran had already picked up a 38-gun loaded with bullets. Gai got out and said, "Let's take turns."

"What's the origin of this guy?" Zhao Jinyu asked in a low voice, "Is he really a foreigner?" ”

“The tube is bright, the message is correct, and the scoop is tight.” "

Hu Bazhi muttered vaguely, "There are thousands of white mountains and black waters in these mountains, big and small. No matter which red flower pavilion you enter, I think he must be at least a cannon!" Catching up with the east wind, even the leader of the business cannot be guaranteed. "

After saying this, Zhao Jinyu couldn't help showing a look of surprise.

"Brother Zhao, which flower pavilion do you worship? Beam or pillar? "

"It's not a beam, it's not a pillar."

Zhao Jinyu replied, "On the way here, I made a horse-drawn horse for the leader. As soon as I learned some skills, I became very special. . I just came out of the mail covered in red, and ended up in the devil's torment again. "

In the bear's den, while Hu Bazhi and Zhao Jinyu were questioning each other, Wei Ran had already stepped on his skis again and slid a hundred or ten meters away, hiding in a nest of a pine tree.

After looking around, he first took out the two captured Mauser pistol bullets from his arms, then took out the cannon box in the metal book, and replaced it with a 20-round magazine. After putting all the two pistol bullets in and loading the gun chamber with bullets, he opened the Japs backpack and threw the two clips in first. Then he opened the Tangbaozi filled with kerosene and filled up the fuel stove in the metal book.

He calmly put the lit stove into his arms, and Wei Ran immediately packed the things in his bag. After picking up the things, he took off his dog fur coat and carried the devil's backpack on his chest.

After some adjustments, he put on the coat again, curled up against the tree trunk, and observed quietly.

The snow that started when I met Hu Bazhi yesterday has no intention of stopping, and the marks left by their skis have long been covered up.

It is almost certain that the Japs will most likely not be able to catch up. Now I just want to see if I will meet someone who needs Hu Bazhi to pay tribute when I go back.It belongs to shopkeeper Cao Da.

After all, the firefight just now was quite big, and the Cao Da shopkeeper will most likely send someone over to check on the situation.

Not long after, Hu Bazhi also approached Wei Ran on his skis.

"Does this fast horse belong to the Japanese?"

Hu Bazhi sat down against the tree next to Wei Ran and pointed at the set of skis stuck in the snow next to him. Ran asked.

"I found it in their car," Wei Ran explained with a normal expression.

"Brother Wei is not going to tell Brother Zhao about your identity?" Hu Bazhi continued to ask.

"No hurry"

Wei Ran shook his head, "I'll finish fighting the Japanese with you first."

"I just asked,"

Hu Bazhi said abruptly, "Brother Zhao told me where his eldest brother might be."

"Then let's wait until we beat those Japs you've been staring at," Wei Ran said.

"Then I won't be polite to Brother Wei."

Hu Bazhi paused, "When the wave of Japanese are beaten, I will probably have to escape."< /p>

"Are you worried that Shopkeeper Cao will do something to you?" Wei Ran asked casually.

"Shopkeeper Cao is a businessman at heart"

Hu Bazhi mocked, "Although he is the king of the mountain now, the business of fighting Japanese is not good for him. It's a bargain. If he finds out, he will probably tie up the three of us and send us to the forest farm to be shot."

"You plan to"

"I also plan to join the Anti-League. , fight the Japanese and fight the Japanese!" Hu Bazhi said seriously, "I also hope that Brother Wei can give me a recommendation."

"I guess it won't be a big problem to make a recommendation."

Hu Bazhi nodded, "When it gets dark and we go back, I will arrange for you two to find a place to hide, and I will pick you up after I have finished fooling Shopkeeper Cao."

"I will follow your arrangements." Wei Ran Ying said.

"Okay, Brother Wei, stop staring here. The Japs can't touch you. Just go and squint for a while."

As he said that, Hu Ba, who had just sat down, Zhi had already greeted Wei Ran, left the tree nest and returned to the bear's den not far away.

The three rested here for most of the day. During this period, Hu Bazhi also asked Wei Ran to teach him how to use the three box cannons.

In the afternoon, the three of them even lit a small bonfire, each heated up the braised pork rice bowl in their lunch boxes to fill their stomachs again, and then walked back under the cover of night.

Halfway through the journey, Hu Bazhi led the two of them to a leeward mountainside, pointed to a lying dead tree and whispered in a low voice, "You two brothers are waiting here, I will Let’s go back and take a look. If there’s no problem, I’ll come to pick you up. If you hear the sound of gunfire, run away quickly.”

After that., Hu Bazhi also took out the three boxes from the wooden gun box on his waist, handed them to Zhao Jinyu along with the furnace Wei Ran had given him, and then untied the sack containing the loot and threw it away. When he got to the tree nest, he only took his iron sand gun, Berdan rifle and bow and arrows, and ran away without a trace on his skis.

"Is Brother Hu in danger?" Zhao Jinyu asked in a low voice.

"Probably not"

Wei Ran shook his head and asked while tidying up the simple shack covered with a thick layer of pine needles under the dead tree, "Yes." Riding a horse?"

"Brother Wei asked this"

Zhao Jinyu sat on the pine needles at Wei Ran's greeting, "My family used to raise dozens of horses. Well, I was lying on the horse before I even learned to walk."

"No wonder"

"What?"

"Nothing"

Wei Ran shook his head, took out his cigarette case, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth and lit it, "Wait for something to happen."

Hearing this, Zhao Jinyu wisely said no more, just took out the Japanese lunch box filled with shredded tobacco, skillfully rolled a toad cigarette and lit it, and took a sip happily.

However, neither of them expected that they would wait for almost three hours, until the sky turned completely dark and the wind and snow became heavier and heavier, but they neither Hearing the gunfire, he didn't wait for Hu Bazhi to come over to pick them up.

"Did something happen to Brother Hu?"

Zhao Jinyu wrapped the cotton clothes around him tightly and asked uneasily, "How about we"

"Wait a minute"

Wei Ran also wrapped his dog fur coat tightly, "I haven't been here for so long. I guess the people from Cao Da's shop have arrived, and they might be drinking right now. "

"Will he come out?"

"No"

Wei Ran shook his head before Zhao Jinyu finished speaking - no matter what the other party wanted. I'm talking about betrayal or trouble.

As if to verify his judgment, before Zhao Jinyu could finish smoking a re-rolled toad cigarette, Hu Bazhi came in a circle from a distance on his skis.

"Take your things and go back with me."

Hu Bazhi, who smelled of alcohol, greeted him, but was not in a hurry to explain what happened. He just reached out to take it. He passed the box of cannon handed over by Zhao Jinyu and put it on his waist, then took it and put it in his arms.

Without much delay, Wei Ran and Zhao Jinyu took all their things, followed Hu Bazhi on a different route, and circled back to the cave next to the cave on their skis. .

Lifting the curtain and walking into the den that still smelled of alcohol, Hu Bazhi patted the snow on his body and said, "I'm going to get something to eat. After eating, leave here as soon as possible." ."

"Is there any trouble?" Wei Ran asked with a frown.

"Shopkeeper Cao Da sent someone to ask what happened, but I sent him away."

Hu Bazhi explained, "But I guess I can't figure it out."It's easy to get things done, but Shopkeeper Cao is not easy to fool. "

As he said that, he had taken off his coat and hung it on the pillar. He took the leftovers on the Kang table and called Wei Ran to leave the warm nest together.

Hu Bazhi said, "I guess he sent someone to the forest farm to find out the news, and he might bring the Japanese with him. "

"Is it too late for the person who did him? "

Wei Ran asked directly, regardless of the relationship between Hu Bazhi and Shopkeeper Cao Da, not only are there no donkeys in the cave, but there are also many less kneaded leather goods. .

"Forget it, they just took away the item that was given to Shopkeeper Cao Da this year. I gave the donkey to Shopkeeper Cao Da. I can't keep the animal, so it can be regarded as returning it to him. mutual affection. Moreover, every mountain top is currently preparing to divide the red cabinet and the harvest of Maodong. Don't provoke them at this juncture. ”

Hu Bazhi explained helplessly, then opened the lid of the pot and filled the enamel basin with a large bowl full of steaming dog meat, which even contained soft stewed meat. Rotten potatoes and vermicelli.

He shoveled in a few extra pancakes stuck to the edge of the pot. He asked Wei Ran to bring the food over, but he walked to the corner and pushed them away. of firewood, and took out the two sacks hidden inside.

"The good stuff is here."

Hu Ba pointed to the corners of the cave. Min Min dug out large and small packages and stuffed them into the sack, and then left the cave with Wei Ran and walked into the warm nest.

Waiting for Wei Ran to bring the food to the table. Hu Bazhi also took out a set of clothing that was not much different from Wei Ran's from the sack and threw it on the bed, "Brother Zhao, put on these clothes later. Brother Wei has paid for it for you." ”

Before Zhao Jinyu could say anything, Hu Bazhi dug out a pair of deerskin boots from someone’s feet and two pieces of cloth cut off by the Japanese during the march. Throwing it on the kang, "Try it on for size, it's more comfortable than the Japanese's leather shoes." "

Zhao Jinyu was not polite when he heard this, and simply took off the devil's boots on his feet.

Looked at his big feet that were dirty and full of frostbite. , Hu Bazhi said, "Wash your body and feet first, and I'll find some frostbite ointment for you. ”

Still not waiting for Zhao Jinyu to say anything, Wei Ran had already poured hot water and cold water into the wooden basin, and even brought the towel over.

Just It was such a trivial move, but Zhao Jinyu, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, had red eyes, pursed his lips and took off the stolen cotton clothes and trousers and the tattered prison uniform sewn with a piece of white cloth.

In the weather at the end of October, he was only wearing this single suit before.

However, compared with the frostbite everywhere on his body after taking off this single suit, it was his back that was more conspicuous. The healed or unhealed whip marks on the back, as well as the comet-like scars.

"Is this all done by the little devils?" Hu Bazhi stepped on the edge of the kang and asked while rummaging for things on the rafters.

“It’s not bad to be whipped”

Zhao Jinyu explained while scrubbing his dirty body, “It’s getting colder and colder these days. Every now and then, we think The prisoners were ordered to take off their clothes and slap each other on the buttocks in pairs. They had to count loudly while doing so. At least one hundred must be slapped to count.”

Then. As the water in the basin turned black little by little, Wei Ran and Hu Bazhi, who had already taken out the ointment, gradually used the pine oil lamp to see clearly that there were still large bruises on Zhao Jinyu's face.

“If anyone doesn’t whip hard enough or counts wrongly, they will be thrown into the ditch and kneeled until they are shaken, until they start to laugh uncontrollably, those bitches Only the Japs and Er Japs asked the people around to carry the kneeling ones back." Zhao Jinyu took a piece of soap and a razor that Wei Ran took out of the Japs' Taro bag and said, "I've seen many people kneel in the ditch and start laughing. They freeze to death after laughing and laughing. I've also seen many people who were slapped and had their nostrils, eyes and ears bleeding to death. Those bitches Japs, they want us all to die!"

"Sooner or later this revenge will have to be avenged!" Hu Bazhi clenched his teeth and clenched his fists.

"If it's early rather than late, when should we do it?" Wei Ran asked.

"Tonight" Zhao Jinyu said, "Tonight we will go to the Temple of Wealth to wait for them!" The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. . Thank you
