"I will be careful myself." The wealthy Zhang said nonchalantly: "Instructor Wang, I understand what you mean. However, I am familiar with the villages around us. I firmly believe that the masses of the people in our enemy-occupied areas are also united as one. , Thinking of the anti-Japanese war, they will definitely not betray me. Please don't worry about this to the instructor."
"We can rest assured, but you have to be careful." Wang Wenhua smiled and said: "You are careful and safe, so we can rest assured. We have a certain foundation for the construction of our base area. This is in line with your positive attitude. It is absolutely inseparable to cooperate. As for Zhao Ergou’s marriage, it belongs to your family affairs. It should be taken care of. We cannot interfere. However, we sincerely hope that you can take good care of your body and be steadfast. The people make further contributions."
"Thank you, thank you." Mr. Zhang said excitedly: "Thank you very much. However, instructor Wang, we can't speak foreign words in the future. This anti-Japanese work, that is what we Chinese should do. I support you in the anti-Japanese, it is absolutely. It's my own business, the rich man. From now on, please don't tell me the word thank you. That is what I should do as a Chinese.
As soon as Wang Wenhua left, the rich man Zhang returned to the house with a sneer and said to the rich man's wife: "Huh, they want to fight with me? They are still far away! I have already known what they think of me. But I just left, they were staring. I knew what kind of person I was in their hearts. I knew very well in my heart. Old lady, you will clean up tonight. Tomorrow we will go to Xihe Camp and find Zhao Erqiao first. My mother."
"What if?" The rich man was a little worried: "What if the Japanese wants to turn his face? Old man, Ergouzi carried the lives of two Japanese people on his head. You know, Ergouzi killed them. Japanese."
"I know it's a Japanese." The rich master Zhang said impatiently: "Don't be afraid, old lady, it's not me!"
"Have you? You can use it!" The rich man said unhappily: "My old lady has not seen what Japanese people are like. They say they kill someone with a knife, and if they kill a person, they kill one with us. Like a chicken. I'm afraid, I dare not go."
"You? What's the matter if you don't go?" The rich man Zhang thought for a while, and immediately walked two steps over and begged his wife: "My child, his mother, Ergouzi is Ergouzi, and the life is on Ergou's head. , What are you afraid of? The map the Japanese wanted was drawn by me, and they owed us money. Even if the Japanese turned their faces, they would not be able to deal with our couple. You can rest assured."
"Why do you have to take me there?" The rich man said unhappily, "I tremble in my heart when I see the Japanese. Their eyes are different from those of us Chinese. They still have guns in their hands, under their feet. If they don’t wear cloth shoes, they wear leather shoes, and they don’t walk in the same way. It’s so cautious!"
"I? Don't let you go to the stronghold, okay?" The rich man Zhang said, "I'll tell you, Ergouzi, we must take care of it, or Ergouzi won't listen to us. Let's talk about it, Zhao Er Qiao’s mother herself is a widow. If you don’t follow me, let me be a rich old man to find her. Isn’t that good? Don’t worry, when you arrive at Zhao Erqiao’s house, you have already said that you have two little couples. Just stay at Erqiao's house. Inside the stronghold, I'll go alone, right?"
In any case, the rich man's wife finally agreed. On the second day, Caizhu Zhang and his wife left the village and headed to Xiheying Village. The two also put on special makeup, and they don't want to be rich, nor tattered, but not very fresh. When the two entered the village, they found Zhao Erqiao's home directly.
Zhao Erqiao should have been a girl, and she hadn’t slept well for several days, but she just heard that Zhao Erqiao and Ergouzi ran out. It is very likely that she went to Zhangjiazhai to join the Eighth Route Army, but she didn’t. Dare to find it, for fear that the Japanese will come to you. On this day, she heard the knock on the door, and her heart was throbbing. She hurried to the yard and asked in a low voice tremblingly: "Who? Who?"
Rich Lord Zhang also whispered: "Er Qiao his mother, I am Rich Lord Zhang from Zhangjiazhai, and I am Er Gouzi's uncle. You open the door, let's go in and have something to say."
First I heard that it was the rich man Zhang, and second I heard that it was Zhao Ergou's uncle. Now Er Qiaoniang immediately got a sense of energy, and quickly tidied up her hair style, and then picked up the egg-round mirror that Zhao Ergou gave herself. Take a photo, then came to the gate and opened the door. Seeing the couple of the rich man, Er Qiao immediately hugged the rich man's wife: "Old sister-in-law, old sister-in-law, me?"
"Enter the door and say to enter the door." Zhang Caizhu whispered: "Er Qiaoniang, let's go in and say if you have anything. Don't forget, there are Japanese people here. It's a Japanese territory. We have something to say to the house. Slowly elaborate on it."
Only then did Zhao Erqiao's mother calm her emotions, and quickly closed the door, letting the couple go to the house. As soon as he entered the house, Zhao Erqiao's mother kept the rich man's wife and started crying in a low voice: "Old sister-in-law, how do you live my child now? A good day? I can't see it in the blink of an eye?"
Rich Lord Zhang coughed and said, "Er Qiao Niang, don't get too excited, listen to what I mean." Cai Cai said what he said to Zhao Ergou in Zhangjiazhai to Zhao Erqiao's mother. After that, the rich master Zhang said: "Don’t worry, Qiao Qiaoniang, I’m here today to put this matter down. Ergouzi is now the Eighth Route Army. It’s not fake, but they were forced by the Japanese. You said yes. No? They were the Japanese who made the mistake first, and Zhao Ergou had no choice but to kill them. They Japanese must recognize the situation and cannot blame the two children. I have thought about this matter, and must find the Japanese to have a theory. ."
Zhao Erqiao's mother nodded and said, "Brother rich man, but, these two children are both the Eighth Route Army, so Japan still has to bear hatred. Right now this person knows that the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese are at war."
"This matter?" Mr. Zhang thought for a while and said, "You don't have to worry about this idleness. I must do this. First, we must not let the Japanese hate our family, and second, we must let these two This child is in the Eighth Route Army. Don’t worry, I’m here today to make the affairs of these two children safe and sound, so that these two children will be safe and sound from now on."
Zhao Erqiao’s mother froze for a moment, then patted her hands for a while and said happily: "Brother rich man, if you don’t say that you always have a way and you can always live a good life, then you say that because you always have a way and can do things. .Hey, the rich man, do you guess what I originally thought? Ergouzi did something like this, I really want to drag my daughter back, not to be married to him. Today, the rich man, you come over and say that , Don’t say anything else, I’ll just say what you said to your eldest brother, I won’t quit this marriage."
"This is the parent who understands things." Caizhu Zhang hurriedly thumbed up at Zhao Erqiao's mother, and then said, "Hey, my family, this is the case, okay? Ergouzi and our daughters are married. From now on you will rush to me, the rich man. How about it?"
"Brother rich man, what else can I say?" Zhao Erqiao's mother immediately opened her eyes and smiled. "That's it. Brother rich man, if you have anything in the future, I will let the matchmaker go directly to you." Zhangjiazhai will find you."
"Good, good!" said the rich master Zhang and stood up: "My husband, you see, I have to go to the stronghold, and I must make peace with Taijun about the Ergouzi. Here, there is your Lao Tzu here. Here. What about you, call the matchmaker? Or else you go directly to the matchmaker. What about later? I'll come back from the stronghold and let's meet here."
"Good, good, good, rich man, what you do is serious." Zhao Erqiao Niang immediately stood up: "Don't worry about it. If you can do this well, even if you have these two kids It’s settled. Don’t worry, I’ll lead my sister-in-law to find the matchmaker." Zhao Erqiao’s mother has sharp eyes and mouth, and together with the rich man’s wife, he sent the rich man out of the house, and then led the rich man’s wife to find the matchmaker:" Sister-in-law, don't worry. Just put your identity on the other side, and you can talk about everything. We are ten miles and eight towns, who doesn't know you couple?"
Besides, the rich master Zhang, when he came out of Zhao Erqiao's house, he walked to the stronghold outside the village. When he was about to reach the gate of the stronghold, the soldiers of the Imperial Union from far away raised their spears at him: "Hey, old man, what are you doing here? Can't go forward. If you leave again, you will be shot!" With this, the soldier next to him pulled the bolt open with a "crash".
"Sir, please inform Taijun and say that I am the rich man of Zhangjiazhai." The rich man quickly lowered his head and looked at the soldier with a smile on his face: "Sir, tell me the old man, I There is something important to see Taijun."
Two soldiers of the Imperial Union Army, look at me, I look at you, and the rich man Zhang, I feel like I can’t neglect: "Well, you can wait a while over there, we will go in and inform Taijun." A soldier went in. So, I went into the report and walked into Sasaki's house and said: "Report Taijun, there is a rich master Zhang at the door saying that he wants to see you."
"Father Zhang?" Sasaki was taken aback as soon as he heard: This name is too familiar. He thought about it, contacted Zhao Ergou, and remembered the two Japanese soldiers killed by Zhao Ergou two days ago. Sasaki himself sat in the chair and thought for a while and said, "Let him in."
Zhang Caizhu was led in and came to Sasaki's house. The rich man Zhang immediately bowed deeply: "Taijun, you may also know that I asked my nephew Zhao Ergou to give you a map of the garrison on Tuba Road in Zhangjiazhai two days ago."
"Understand!" Sasaki said coldly: "Treasure Lord Zhang, you are very loyal to the imperial army! But your nephew, Zhao Ergou, has a very bad conscience. This, yours, understand? Sasaki spoke, his eyes glared at the boss, his murderous expression revealed, and he looked up at the Toyo sword on the wall.
Treasurer Zhang has not spoken directly to the Japanese devils. Now seeing Sasaki's murderous eyes, his neck really "swishes" coldly. The rich master Zhang tried his best to calm himself, and then slowly said: "Taijun, I want to ask. Does the Imperial Japanese Army really want to stand firm in China? Does it really want to win the support of our people?"
Sasaki blinked his eyes, then nodded: "Your Excellency, I understand what you are saying. You have also made some contributions to our fight against the Japanese Imperial Army. However, I must inform your Excellency that Zhao Ergou killed us. Two imperial soldiers, those are our excellent soldiers to fight against His Majesty the Emperor of Japan."
