The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 888 Fishing by the River
The weather was fine that day, and Wang Jindong was going to accompany Gao Jiu and Long Guobi to go fishing outside Nanyang City.

Gao Jiu asked where they often went fishing, and felt that fishing in those reservoirs and fish ponds was not interesting, and it was best to go fishing in natural rivers.

Zhou Mingshan immediately made arrangements, and everyone drove to a small river outside Nanyang City.

This river is a small tributary of the Yellow River. The water in the river is very clear. Gao Jiu's eyesight is amazing, and he can even see the fish swimming in the river.

The crowd chose a bend in the river and prepared to fish, but saw that an old man had already arrived there ahead of time.

For the safety of the officers, Zhou Mingshan's military agents went to persuade the old man to leave.

Unexpectedly, the old man still had a stubborn temper, saying that he had already made a nest in this bend of the river, and he was fishing vigorously at the moment, and he refused to leave no matter what.

The military command agent was a little angry and wanted to forcefully drive the old man away.

Gao Jiu knew about them, and personally apologized for the recklessness of the military agents for their just now.

The old man could tell from the people around Gao Jiu, as well as his speech and behavior, that this person must have an extraordinary identity. When he saw someone apologizing to him, his anger dissipated, and he started talking to Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu saw that the old man was fishing at a very high level, and he would catch fish with the rod from time to time, and expressed his admiration for his fishing skills.

The old man saw Gao Jiu humbly asking him for advice, and while fishing, he whispered to Gao Jiu his fishing experience.

Long Guobi is not interested in fishing, but has a strong interest in the old man's partner.

You old people are very interesting people. When fishing, they also brought a kitten with them.
When the cat first saw a stranger coming, it was a little scared and hid in the grass.Later, seeing that there was no danger, it came to the side of the owner. It squatted by the river, staring at the river water, and when it saw the owner caught a fish, it meowed at him.

Everyone found it very interesting, but I really don't know how this cat was trained.

Long Guobi was very interested in this kitten and wanted to go up and pet it, but the kitten didn't accept her kindness.At the beginning, he dodged Long Guobi's hand, but later he raised his furry little claws and whimpered, threatening Long Guobi, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Long Guobi saw a bucket beside the fisherman, and there were some small fish in the bucket, which seemed to be specially used to feed the kitten.

She reached out and grabbed a small fish from the bucket and handed it to the kitten.

The kitten took the fish and chewed it vigorously. Long Guobi took the opportunity to pat its head.

The kitten had a soft mouth, and although he was a little reluctant, he still accepted Long Guobi's touch.

Gao Jiu and the others also found a place on the river bank and started fishing.After fishing for a long time, there was almost no harvest.

Their place is only seven or eight meters away from the place chosen by the old man, but fish are constantly being caught there, and there has been no movement for a long time.

Wang Jindong became a little impatient, and was thinking of trying another place, when he suddenly found that the fish was floating.He hastily raised the pole, unexpectedly, a wheat ear only one inch long came up, which made everyone laugh together.

When Long Guobi first started, she sat beside Gao Jiu, resting her chin on her hands, waiting for her husband to catch the fish.After watching for a long time, my eyes were a little dazzled by the swaying shadow of the sun on the water, but I still couldn't see what Gao Jiu had gained.

She was very interested in the fisherman's excellent fishing skills, so she came to the old man and watched him fish curiously.

Looking at it, Long Guobi felt a little itchy, and she said, "Uncle, can you let me try?"

It is hard to refuse such an outstanding beauty as Long Guobi.The fisherman handed the fishing rod to Long Guobi, and offered to help Long Guobi hang the bait.

Shortly after Long Guobi took the hook, the float started to move.She gave a jerk, bad timing and the hook was empty.

The fisherman carefully explained the technical essentials to Long Guobi, and Long Guobi soon caught a large crucian carp nearly a foot long.

She yelled excitedly, and the fisherman had to remind her to keep her voice down, otherwise all the fish would be scared away.

Everyone stayed by the river for more than two hours. Although they didn't catch many fish, they still had a good time.

Long Guobi was especially happy. Before leaving, he took out a small yellow croaker and decided to give it to the fisherman.

The fisherman seemed to be a person who had seen the world, from the dress and demeanor of Gao Jiu, Long Guobi and others, it could be seen that these people were rich and wealthy.

He was not hypocritical, and put the little yellow croaker away after thanking him.

Gao Jiu, Wang Jindong, Long Guobi and others were about to leave, and they walked towards the car parked not far away.

The fisherman said to the agent following Gao Jiu: "This military lord, I heard they call him Lord Jiu. Could it be that he is the famous Master Gao Jiu?"

The military command agent said: "That's right, he is the famous Gao Jiuye."

Hearing this, the fisherman suddenly stood up and said, "Master Gao Jiu, please stay, I have something to say."

Gao Jiu's hearing was very keen, and when he heard the fisherman's words, he stopped and turned around.

When he saw the military commander stopping the old man, Gao Jiu said, "Please come over here, that old man."

The military command agent got out of the way, and the old man walked over quickly, and when he reached Gao Jiu, he said with some grief and indignation: "You are the famous Jiu Ye, people say that you are an anti-Japanese hero who loves the people, can you please You send a message to let your men let go of my son, I beg you."

Speaking of which, the old man was about to kneel down to Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu hurriedly reached out to support him, and said, "Old man, what happened?"

The old man said: "My son is a small businessman, doing some small business around the Funiu Mountains. He purchased a batch of fabrics from Nanyang City to be transported to An County for sale, but he met your men on the way, and they said my son is They purchased supplies for the Japanese and said he was a spy spying on intelligence, so they arrested him. They demanded a ransom, but our family sent the money over, but they didn’t return it.

Gao Jiuye, my son is really a small businessman, and he really didn't cooperate with the enemy. Please show your hands high and ask your subordinates to release my son. "

Hearing this, Gao Jiu felt that something was wrong.

He said suspiciously: "Our Taohuashan guerrillas didn't arrange activities in An County, so how could they arrest your son there?"

The old man said: "It's true. They wear the clothes of your Taohuashan guerrillas. They say they are from Taohuashan. They also say that they are the subordinates of Wang Zhankui, the third leader of the family."

Gao Jiu said: "" This is absolutely impossible. "

After finishing speaking, he asked: "Brother Wang and Brother Zhou, this area is under your jurisdiction. Have you heard of the activities of the Taohuashan guerrillas?"

Wang Jindong shook his head and said, "I haven't received a report."

Zhou Mingshan became impatient when he heard this, and he said, "Someone must be pretending to be one of Master Jiu's subordinates, but I haven't heard anything about it."

Gao Jiu said: "I'm afraid someone pretended to be the name of the Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas to blackmail the common people. This matter must be found out."

He said to the old man: "Old man, since you told me about this matter, I will definitely give you an explanation."

Then he said to Zhou Mingshan: "Brother Zhou, you are familiar with the situation in this area, please help me with this matter, let the two brothers Ning Wen and Ning Wu follow you, and together arrest these people pretending to be Taohuashan guerrillas. This old man has an explanation."

Zhou Mingshan said: "Master Jiu, don't worry, I will leave this matter to me. I want to see who has the guts to pretend to be Gao Jiuye's subordinates. If I catch them, I will definitely be strict with you." Punishment."

Jia Liu asked the old man's contact information, and then everyone returned to Nanyang City.

After returning to the city, Gao Jiu felt that someone was pretending to be Wang Zhankui's subordinate, and probably knew something about Wang Zhankui, so he sent a telegram to Wang Zhankui to tell him about it.

Wang Zhankui became impatient when he heard that, someone dared to pretend to be his subordinate, wouldn't this ruin his reputation?
He flew to Nanyang immediately, and together with Zhou Mingshan, Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others, went to catch Li Gui who was pretending to be a guerrilla in Taohuashan.

Zhou Mingshan, Wang Zhankui and others came to An County, first went to the head of the local garrison and the chief of the county police station, and asked them about someone posing as a Taohuashan guerrilla.

The head of the regiment did not receive a report in this regard, and the chief of police seemed to have heard of it.

Since Gao Jiu often came to Nanyang, there was also a liaison team of the Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas in Nanyang City, and the Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas and Nanyang's geological exploration agency went into the mountain from this county to explore minerals.So some people said that he had met people from the Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas in the mountains, but he didn't care.

The chief of police sent someone to find the policeman who had mentioned this incident. The policeman said that he had also heard rumors that someone had seen members of the Taohuashan guerrillas in Gaoping Township near the Funiu Mountains.

Wang Zhankui and Zhou Mingshan decided to conduct on-the-spot investigations, so they went to Gaoping Town, accompanied by the head of the local garrison and the chief of the county police station.

The police chief was very thoughtful. He found a man from the police who had relatives in Gaoping Town, and he led the way to Gaoping Town.

They didn't go directly to the town where the township office was located, but asked the policeman to go here to find his relatives to learn more about the situation.

The policeman went there for about two hours, and when he came back, he said that his relative had also heard about the incident, and had personally seen the person wearing the uniform of the Taohuashan guerrilla. There were four people at the time, and one of them was 27 or [-] years old. The young man, others call him Captain Li.

These people did not behave unusually in the town, and they were considered polite to the common people.No one knows where they came from and where they went now, because these people never appeared in the town again.

Zhou Mingshan has a wealth of experience in handling cases. He thinks that those people have been here before, and maybe they have their eyeliner in this town. If they enter the town rashly, they may arouse the suspicion of those people.

So they asked the policeman to go to the town again to find the mayor of Gaoping Town.

The mayor of Gaoping Town is in his early 50s. He wears the uniform local official uniform in Guofu, that is, a tunic suit, a top hat, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and a civilized stick in his hand.

He was very enthusiastic after meeting the police chief. The police chief did not reveal the identities of Zhou Mingshan, Wang Zhankui and others, but said that they were high officials from Nanyang City and wanted to know something from him.

The mayor said that indeed several members of the Taohuashan guerrillas had visited the town.Due to the reputation of the Taohuashan guerrillas, the mayor specially invited them to his home for dinner. They claimed to be subordinates of the third leader of the Taohuashan guerrillas, and they were currently carrying out secret missions here.Therefore, the mayor didn't know much about their situation. He only knew that the leader's surname was Li, and they all called him Captain Li.

Wang Zhankui asked, "Did anything strange happen in your town later?"

The mayor said: "There is nothing special. It's just that a young woman disappeared in the town not long ago. The woman went to another town to return to her mother's family. Since the distance between the two towns is not too far, this area has always been safe. , so the woman rode a donkey back to her natal family alone.

It was later discovered that she had never returned home, and the family in the village called the police in the town.

The town organized people to help the family look for it, but no one was found at that time. When they were about to report to the county, the woman suddenly came back and said that she had gone to an uncle's house where she lived in another place.

Later, some rumors said that this woman went out quietly to have a tryst with another man, and the man in this family even beat the woman.This incident was considered news in a relatively closed town, and people talked about it for several days after dinner. "

Wang Zhankui didn't think this matter had any connection with those who pretended to be Taohuashan guerrillas, and he was a little disappointed to see that he couldn't find any clues from the mayor.

Zhou Mingshan thought it was a clue, and he said to the mayor: "Can you get that woman? Let's talk to her."

The mayor shook his head and said: "Sirs, I'm afraid I can't ask anything. That woman is notoriously hot and her mouth is very strict. Even his men can't ask."

Zhou Mingshan said: "I'd better trouble the mayor to invite her here. Let's try to ask. It doesn't matter if we can't find out."

The mayor said, "Okay then, I'll go and get him."

Zhou Mingshan told the mayor that the previous incident, that woman had already aroused discussions in the town.When looking for her, think of a good excuse not to draw the attention of his family and neighbors.

The mayor said: "This is easy. That woman has a good tailoring skill. I can ask my woman to ask her to help make clothes, call her to my house, and then bring her out."
