Chapter 1831 All have troubles

Shang Zhen suddenly thought of an idiom, which is - to tie oneself up in a cocoon.

  Yes, you are just tying yourself up in knots!

He originally wanted to ambush the Japanese devils, but who would have thought that the Japanese devils did not attack but instead surrounded his men.

The current situation is that they are guarding a circular hill with a large water bubble in the middle of the hill.

Shang Zhen didn't know exactly how deep the water bubble was, but he knew that if the Japanese and puppet troops attacked by force, they would have no way to retreat.

However, the Japanese and puppet troops surrounded the circular hill again.

Of course, he can also choose to concentrate his forces to break through now. After all, the Japanese and puppet troops chasing him are only a part of them.

  But Shang Zhen didn't want to do that because he knew the Japanese devils' shooting skills were too accurate!

The Japanese devils only need to hide somewhere outside the hills, and when they rush down the mountain, they can be shot down as living targets.

I don't know whether they lost the rice or not, but they didn't succeed in stealing the chicken. Isn't this just tying themselves up in knots?

At this time, the Japanese army chose to surround but not attack. They did not want their own troops to suffer heavy casualties, nor did they want to take the risk of breaking out. The enemy and our side were in a stalemate.

Shang Zhen, who was good at thinking, thought about what the problem was. In the end, he thought it was the Japanese signal soldiers who chased after him.

So where did those Japanese commuter soldiers come from?

Shang Zhen analyzed that it should have come from the direction of Shuiquan Town.

  After all, without his team's interception, the remaining Japanese and puppet troops should have attacked Shuiquan Town. Didn't he hear gunshots there before?

But no one knew what kind of message the Japanese signalman conveyed to the Japanese troops here. Then the Japanese troops, who were being led by the nose by themselves, stopped chasing and instead surrounded the hills.

Not knowing what the situation was in Shuiquan Town, Shang Zhen thought that he had promised Chen Laocai to protect Shuiquan Town.

  Shang Zhen thought, even if he couldn't protect Shuiquan Town, he had to at least protect Zhuangzhongzhuang, right?

But now the situation forces him and his men to be surrounded here by the Japanese and puppet troops, so he cannot fulfill his promise to Chen Laocai. This is like breaking a promise and getting rich!

Shang Zhen had never done anything like this before, and he was troubled for a moment.

But at this moment, he didn't know that there was someone in the village of Shuiquan Town who was also very distressed. That person was Mo Jianchen.

"Captain Mo, this is an extraordinary period. Please forgive me for not seeing you off." As Liu Keqiang said goodbye, the door of Zhuangzhongzhuang creaked open a crack.

The gap was neither too big nor too small, but it was just enough for Mo Jianchen to pass sideways.

Mo Jianchen, who had already finished talking with Liu Keqiang, had no choice but to stay and squeeze out through the crack in the door.

Just as the door was closing, Liu Keqiang's voice was heard from inside: "If Captain Mo sees the translator, please inform us. You should also be careful. After all, we are relatives!"

Even though Mo Jianchen was born as a student and usually had very good self-cultivation, he was still angry at this moment, thinking, "You and I are not even related at all!"

The relatives Liu Keqiang was referring to were of course Leng Xiaozhi.

Leng Xiaozhi is the wife of Shang Zhen, their battalion commander. Mo Jianchen used to be a partner with Leng Xiaozhi, so that’s how their so-called kinship came about.

But what’s the use of relatives who have no blood relationship at all?

Originally, Mo Jianchen came to Zhuangzhongzhuang to find Shang Zhen.

  He went to Shang Zhen because he wanted to cooperate with Shang Zhen to figure out how to get food back from the spring. The Eighth Route Army was also short of food!

But who would have thought that when he came in last night, he was tricked by Qin Chuan, the sentry of Shang Zhen’s camp.

Qin Chuan asked him for the password, and you couldn't say that Qin Chuan was unreasonable. He even told him the first part of the password. As long as he answered the second part, he could bring his people in.

What people are asking is "The moon shines brightly before my bed."

To be honest, Mo Jianchen felt very strange at that time.

It's not like he hasn't come into contact with Shang Zhen and his gang before. Although Shang Zhen's gang includes some scholars like Chu Tian and Chen Hanwen, most of them can't even read a single word. So how could they come up with Li Bai's "Quiet Night Thoughts"?

Without much thought, he replied, "It might be frost on the ground."

The result of his answer was predictable. Qin Chuan told him that the password was wrong and would not let them in.

Later, when he finally got in, he knew Qin Chuan and jokingly asked Qin Chuan what the second half of his password was.

Qin Chuan said seriously that the second half of the password was "Two pairs of shoes on the ground." So the whole password became "The moon shines brightly in front of the bed, and there are two pairs of shoes on the ground."

To be honest, Qin Chuan was very serious when answering his questions, but the next sentence of the command was really not serious!

Mo Jiancheng was stunned! Really stunned! It was the first time he heard such a weird password!

Qin Chuan looked at him with a confused look, and then said seriously, "Actually, there is no clear second half of this sentence. Half of our people are in Shuiquan Town and half are outside. Who set the password? No one set the password. If you answered "I have to pee" at that time, you would be right!"

What the hell is this? Even though Mo Jianchen was well-mannered, he still had the urge to curse. The moonlight was bright in front of the bed, and there were two pairs of shoes on the ground.

  Does the bed in Li Bai’s poem really refer to the bed for men and women to sleep on?

Even if it is really a bed for sleeping, what does it mean to have two pairs of shoes on the floor? Are they having an affair?

But Mo Jianchen still had to meet Shang Zhen after all, and he couldn't get angry with Qin Chuan. He just thought that Qin Chuan didn't want to tell him the second half of the password, so he forced a smile and didn't ask any more questions.

In fact, he really didn't know that what Qin Chuan said was the truth.

  The battle cannot be said to be ever-changing, but there are always unexpected situations. At that time, the people from Shang Zhenying's camp in Shuiquan Town were really half inside and half outside. Who would come up with any passwords?

What Qin Chuan said were just jokes between the old soldiers.

This set of conversation has actually existed for a long time, but it was only used among old soldiers. When the old soldiers talked about this, they made faces at each other, and they would never tell the new recruits what was going on if they were asked.

Later, when Wang Laomao lived a peaceful life in Baoduqiao with his young wife and children, or when he left their camp, this set of songs became popular among the soldiers.

Because the so-called "The moon shines brightly in front of the bed, and there are two pairs of shoes on the ground" was originally a secret slander made by the old soldiers against Wang Laomao.

At that time, they were still in a big city, and Wang Laomao and his young wife Ju Hongxia were "hooking up" together.

In the villa of that rich family, Wang Laomao and his young wife, who was in the prime of her life, made love upstairs every day, while the stimulated soldiers downstairs enjoyed a combination of elegance and vulgarity.

Elegant, that's because Chen Hanwen said "The moon shines brightly in front of the bed" out of boredom, and then someone came up with the extremely vulgar sentence "Two pairs of shoes on the ground".

The soldiers didn't know what rhyme was or what prosody was, but they knew what a jingle was. The two sentences seemed to match well, so they burst into laughter.

Thus, this little story belonging to their team was passed down.

How could outsiders understand such a thing? If you were not the person involved, who would have thought that there were two pairs of shoes on the ground in front of the bed under the moonlight?

Qin Chuan naturally understood that the more seriously he spoke to Mo Jianchen, the less likely Mo Jianchen would believe him.

Mo Jianchen went to Shang Zhen to solve the problem of food, as well as the matter of the tens of thousands of dollars from last time, to see if he could get them back.

But Shang Zhen was very busy last night. The Japanese and puppet troops were in large numbers, so Shang Zhen had no time to deal with Mo Jianchen. What's more, the two sides were having an unhappy relationship because the Eighth Route Army didn't allow Leng Xiaozhi to come and see them!

So Shang Zhen led his men out to ambush the Japanese army, and left the task of receiving Mo Jianchen to Liu Keqiang.

This time, Liu Keqiang only brought a platoon to the village to assist Chen Laocai in guarding the village.

  He knew clearly that there were many armed forces from Shuiquan Town outside the manor and the situation was complicated, so how could he allow Mo Jianchen and several people from the 18th Route Army to enter the manor?

So Mo Jianchen came to the village to find Shang Zhen, but in the end he was the only one allowed to enter the village.

But what can you do after entering Zhuangzi?

  It’s really better not to see it!

The real owner Shang Zhen was not in the manor, and Liu Keqiang just laughed it off. Mo Jianchen did not achieve his goal at all, so he could only leave the manor in disappointment.

In fact, what was Mo Jianchen's original intention to ask Shang Zhen for food and ocean? The reason was that there was a special envoy with him this time, and it was that special envoy who ordered him to complete this task.

This matter sounds a bit bloody, but Mo Jianchen couldn't tell Shang Zhen about it due to discipline.

  To put it bluntly, this bloody thing is that this special envoy actually fell in love with Leng Xiaozhi!

But Leng Xiaozhi said that she was already married.

The special commissioner asked, "Why didn't you tell the organization before that your husband was a Kuomintang officer?" In anger and shame, he charged Leng Xiaozhi with deceiving the organization.

Because Leng Xiaozhi failed to get the money from Shang Zhen last time, and because this special envoy took a fancy to Leng Xiaozhi but failed to get her, Leng Xiaozhi was taken advantage of the situation.

So now Leng Xiaozhi is in an idle state within the Eighth Route Army. In Northeastern dialect, that means he is not allowed to smoke, or he is waiting for the organization to investigate.

Mo Jianchen couldn't tell Shang Zhen about this because of the rules, and so could Leng Xiaozhi. She couldn't tell Shang Zhen about this because of the rules, even if they were husband and wife! She could only bear it by herself.

Mo Jianchen hoped to solve the problem of food and ocean, so as to make Leng Xiaozhi's situation better, but the result was that he was now in a difficult situation!

Now Mo Jianchen started to walk back. He was worried about what to say to the special envoy.

As for the translator Liu Keqiang mentioned, he also learned from Liu Keqiang.

That was a prisoner captured by Shang Zhenying, but not long ago, that guy went to the street with the soldiers of Shang Zhenying, and he took the opportunity to run away.

  To be honest, Mo Jianchen didn't care about the captured translator at all. He had his own problems to worry about, so how could he care about such a mess!

Mo Jianchen couldn't help but become distracted while thinking about all sorts of things.

He couldn't help but miss his school days. Back then, he was a scholar with the courage to love and hate. Fighting the Japanese was just fighting the Japanese. It was such a pure thing. How could there be so many troubles now?

Mo Jianchen, who was troubled, walked in the town with all sorts of thoughts in his mind. He became distracted when he had something on his mind.

  When he realized that he had walked into an alley and had taken the wrong road, he was about to turn back when he suddenly heard someone in the yard next to him say "Yoshi"!

Just this one sentence made Mo Jianchen take a side step and stick to the wall. There were actually Japanese in this yard!
