The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1753 Chapter 1715 “Weird” Combination

Just when Da Laoben and Bian Xiaolong were sneaking into Dao Chen Laocai's village, Shang Zhen and a few people were also "hanging out" in Shuiquan Town.

Some people in later generations have seen some photos handed down from the Republic of China. In those photos, the men are all in suits and leather shoes, and the women are either ladies and socialites, or female students wearing school uniforms, which still look very elegant.

But what level are the people in those photos at? There is no doubt that those are people who belong to the upper class, such as people like Gao Yuyan who once met Shang Zhen and the others.

The photos taken by such people, even if they are only black and white photos, the background of the photos has turned yellow due to age, but they can't hide their graceful charm.

So those in later generations came to the conclusion that the Republic of China was a good period, life was very good, and they even called it the so-called "golden decade", and they even felt nostalgic about it.

It’s just that what they didn’t know was that photography was not common in that era. Those who could have photos handed down were not necessarily white people. If some foreign photojournalists hadn’t gone to China and took a lot of images, who would have known what happened at that time. China is full of hunger and mourning?

Cities mean the accumulation of wealth and rich people, but what about the vast rural areas that are becoming increasingly depressed? To say how decent the majority of farmers are is to overthink it.

The family only has one quilt to cover them. It is said that "the quilt has been as cold as iron for many years." The family only has one pair of pants to wear when going out. In today's era, this kind of thing is not an exception.

From this point of view, the new life movement advocated by someone becomes extremely ridiculous.

If you don't have enough food and no clothes to cover your body, but people still pay attention to propriety, justice and shame, then can the government give the poor a pair of pants to wear?

The answer is, no.

Not only was it impossible, but during the so-called New Life Movement, the people paid several more exorbitant taxes.

For example, if you open a small restaurant in your home, you have to kill mice. If the mice can't be beaten, then you can pay some money and let others do it. This is no different from the story in "Promoting Weaving" written by Pu Songling, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty.

For example, if your small restaurant has not been disinfected and is not up to standard, and you are asked to disinfect it, and you say there is nothing, then come and I will disinfect it for you, then you go ahead and pay the money!

The reality is always so naked. After the glamor of Shanghai's ten-mile foreign market, who knows how many poor people there are in places where the neon lights can't shine?

So, how can Shang Zhen and the others wear bright clothes now when they are hanging out in Shuiquan Town, which is almost a big market?

The main character walking in Qian Chuan'er is a cunning man, dressed in the same rags, with a shabby hat picked up from who knows where on his head. The hat is just like the one worn by the rickshaw drivers in the city. Under the brim of the hat is a pair of small He looked around with quick eyes.

Ma Tianfang, who was following behind Qian Chuan, was doing a miserable job. His right hand was holding a wooden stick that was black and shiny, like a fire stick. His left arm was gone, so the sleeve was hanging empty. But the broken part was tied with a rope, as if if he didn't tie it, his broken arm would suddenly grow a new arm!

Hou Kanshan, who was walking side by side with Ma Tianfang, was the one who had experienced the vicissitudes of life. His face had already been disfigured and his face was buried by him. Occasionally he opened his mouth, and the silver teeth that were originally shining with fluorescence were also covered by it. He had applied something unknown, and it didn't look shiny at all. Instead, it seemed yellow and full of tartar.

Ma Erhuzi and Huzhuzi were walking side by side. The two of them were dressed in silly outfits, let alone wearing clothes that buried Batai. Maerhuzi was carrying a broken sickle in his hand, and Huzhuzi was holding a broken sickle in his left hand. But he took another brick inside, and he also carried a rag bag on his right shoulder. The bag seemed very heavy and heavy, and the shape of the things inside was also angular, which made people wonder if he was carrying more. A brick!

As for the other people who were dressed up, they were also dressed up, and Shang Zhen was blocked by them in the middle. His main character was an honest, dull, unkempt face, with a broken robe on his shoulders, a wooden stick in his right hand, and a wooden stick in his left hand. I took a broken bowl with a chipped tooth.

With the way they were dressed, they looked like a gang of beggars reappearing in the world. Even if someone passed by them, they would avoid them. Who would have thought that they were the anti-Japanese warriors?

At this time, Shang Zhen and Qian Chuan'er had obtained information from the second uncle who sold water tofu. Indeed, there were indeed many people less than 1 meters tall who had entered Shuiquan Town.

The reason is, of course, that the second uncle's shop faces the street, and the second uncle's wife, the second aunt, stands at the door every day to greet people to buy tofu.

For the local people, they usually see people with a height of 1.81.7 meters. If they suddenly see a person with a height of 1.6 meters, they will feel strange, let alone seeing several in a row?

The Chinese have a saying of Northeastern Dahan and Shandong Dahan. It can be seen that northerners are not very short, so when people with a height of less than 1 meters enter Shuiquan Town, they will inevitably be noticed by the locals. Even though there are more than 6 people in the town, there are still some people I don’t know on these streets. Even if you don't know anyone else in the town, you can still become familiar with him.

Chen Laocai is a major grain grower in this area within a few dozen miles. Shang Zhen certainly has reason to believe that the Japanese advance team will come here. In addition, the second uncle confirmed that a short man has indeed entered Shuiquan Town.

So what is the purpose of the Japanese army? It's hard for Shang Zhen not to think that the Japanese army wants to knock down Chen Laocai's family, right?

So he divided his people into several groups. Most of the people in military uniforms hid in the wild. Those without military uniforms went to the fields to "walk" and some entered Shuiquan Town. He personally brought some with him. At least he It seems that one group is veterans who cannot be immediately recognized as soldiers.

In order to appear less obtrusive, the box cannon cannot be placed on the body in the way they are dressed now. The box cannon itself is so big and long that it cannot be hidden on the body!

Maybe a casual movement like bending down, sticking out the butt or turning around will reveal the shape of the gun. Wouldn't that be a cover-up?

This time, Shang Zhen and the others did have a few of them with handbags, because they were small and easy to hide.

So their box guns are placed at the back.

Where to put it? Shen Mugen and a soldier named Ge Changli also pretended to be common people. Shen Mugen, who had a Shandong accent, was responsible for shouting, while Ge Changli carried a tofu pick bought from the second uncle's house. Their box cannons were hidden at both ends of the tofu pick. Inside the food box!

What the tofu picker picks at both ends is the kind of square, flat thing that holds tofu, so it can be called a food box.

The food box was layered, and each layer was originally used to put the tofu.

But now the top layer only contains three or four pieces of broken tofu, while the two layers below are all filled with cannons and magazines used by their group.

Why do you say that the tofu pick was bought? Of course, Shang Zhen and the others would not use the tofu pickles from the second uncle's house in vain.

Even if they were stupid, they would all think that if something happened, who would care about this bad guy? If something happened, then they would not just drop the stick and stop working, but just drop the stick and start working!

For those of them who were soldiers, it was just two broken wooden food boxes that were blackened.

But for ordinary people like the second uncle, they are just people who eat. It's like, uh - just like begging for a job. Shang Zhen and the others won't do anything to destroy other people's jobs, so Shang Zhen just gave it to the second uncle. I threw away a few yuan and said it was rent, but in fact I just bought the shabby picket directly.

Shang Zhen would not deliberately talk about military-civilian relations like his wife Leng Xiaozhi, but in his opinion, getting along with the common people should be like getting along with friends. If you respect me even once, I will return the favor. You are only one foot tall, and you must never tear down the bridge and make that one-shot deal after crossing the river!

Shang Zhen thought that if the Japanese and puppet troops entered the town, they would think about how to capture Chen Laocai's village and grab food. They must be operating near the village, so he also led people to surround him. Zhuangzi turns.

As for Da Laoben and Bian Xiaolong, they sneaked directly into Zhuangzi under the orders of Shang Zhen and Jian Niu's volunteer.

Chen Laocai's village has the commanding heights of Shuiquan Town, which is the four-story building. Shang Zhen asked the three of them to find a way to get to that commanding heights. If something happens in the town, there are people there. That should make a difference from the commanding heights.

Shang Zhen and the others spent some time trying to make their group more similar. In the end, they were like a gang of beggars, a strange combination of beggar thieves and disabled people.

Now they have seen the wall of Chen Laocai's village on the dirt road in the town, and the target is approaching!
