Under the sun, a village sits quietly on the side of the road. Occasionally, a dog barks is heard in the village. The village is very quiet. It is surrounded by farmland. Rice grows in the field. It does not grow well. There are large tracts of land without rice.

There is an open space left, and it seems that there are quite a few villagers here.

Twenty or thirty people in front were squatting on the roadside. A vigilant figure gradually penetrated from the edge of the reeds to the west, and walked quietly into the village with steady steps.

The shell gun hung on his waist, swinging back and forth rhythmically with a steady pace. His eyes were wide open as he nervously scanned the rice fields on both sides of the route, from left to right, and then from right to left. He didn't see anything.

Something unusual.

It quickly disappeared into the village. After a while, the black shadow retreated from the village and made a gesture to the back. The people squatting on the roadside slowly followed, and they all walked into the village and slowly disappeared.

In the village.

Li Yuan had already followed, and Zhao Dashan began to explain the situation: "They have been walking quietly like this, not talking along the way. I don't think their fighting ability is very good. They have no leading soldiers and no rearguard. There is only one possibility.

They are traitors who maintain the association, but something is very wrong in this village. At first there were dogs barking, but now there is no sound of dogs barking anymore. I don’t understand.”

Li Yuan took the telescope from Zhao Dashan and began to observe carefully from north to south, and then from south to north. He was also confused. This situation was a bit confusing.

Fang Cheng was next to him: "I think these people look a bit like members of the maintenance committee. There is no movement in this village. It's a bit like setting an ambush in the village. They look like they are trying to arrest people."

The young man named Zhang from the support club said: "It's probably not the case. To arrest people and set up an ambush, how can we do it in broad daylight? We should set up an ambush while it's dark. I'll forget it and find a detour from the north of the village."

Li Yuan pondered for a moment: "Zhao Dashan, go explore the road from the south. Fang Cheng, take Xiao Zhang to have a look from the north. Go two miles east. If nothing happens, you will meet at the east end of the village and send someone back.

"

Li Yuan encountered a traitor who was about to arrest someone, so he didn't intend to just stand by and watch.

In Wuxian County, there were very few organizational teams, and most of the people ran away. Many wealthy people ran into Nanjing after the Songhu Battle, but lost their fortunes and lives.

Only some peasants were left on those lands and were still struggling. The Japanese and traitors did nothing bad to these poor people except occasionally recruiting them to build fort towers. In the occupied areas, if there were no people at all, they would still raise fire after the occupation.

What is its role? The Japanese adopted a soft policy in the occupied areas.

However, the national army organized some rout troops in these places. The largest force was the third column of the Security Command. However, this column did not attack the Japanese. Instead, it continued to destroy the remaining above-ground organizations here.

It also has an inexplicable relationship with various local maintenance committees and maintains a certain tacit understanding with the Nanjing government.

Another black figure hurriedly walked out of the village.

Walking hastily to the west, we gradually came closer to the path along the edge of the reeds. When the path turned, we continued towards the southern county seat.

When this man passed the hiding position of Li Yuan and the soldiers, they all saw the man's shell gun holster hanging behind him, swinging in the sun with his steps.

In the reeds, Li Yuan was slowly fiddling with the shell gun in his hand, opened the bolt, took out the magazine and looked at it, then put the gun into the holster, and threw it to Zeng You next to him with a flick of his hand.

Cai Huaili: "Learn from Wang Xiaoer."

Zeng Youcai quickly put the holster on his back with joy. Wang Xiaoer took out the gun and removed the magazine. The two of them studied the imitation shell gun on the ground.

This is why people are so irritating. In the past, there was an entire independent company, and only Company Commander Qing had a counterfeit gun. In Li Yuan's case, it felt worthless. This gave the soldiers the illusion that this gun was easy to come by.

Two soldiers approached Li Yuan: "If you dare to hang a gun in these places and run around alone, it is definitely not a good thing. It is either a detective team or a plainclothes team, maybe someone who maintains the association."

Wang Xiaoer put a bullet in Zeng Youcai's hand and asked him to learn how to press the bullet. He straightened up, clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Brother Li, this guy doesn't look like a good person."

Then he raised his foot and kicked him.

The guy on the ground who was tied into a rice dumpling rolled his eyes twice and let out a snort from his nose.

Wang Xiaoer put his pistol in his hand, pulled the trigger, loaded the bullet, pointed it at the man's head, pulled out the smelly towel from the man's mouth, and put it on his shoulder.

A childish voice: "Tell me the truth, what do you do?"

"Brothers, there is a misunderstanding. This must be a misunderstanding. The little one doesn't have many things on him, so he is willing to give them away. I just ask the hero to show mercy."

The accent is clearly not local.

The reeds were swaying left and right in the breeze, and under the sunlight, large beads of sweat appeared on the head of the guy who was tied to the ground.

Although the people who tied him up in front of him were dressed similarly to himself, there were also children in the team, and judging from their accents, they were obviously not locals, so they were definitely not from the detective team, and were most likely guerrillas or bandits.

So he slowly calmed down, tried hard to hide his inner panic, and tried to gain a chance.

"What are you doing? I'll give you a chance. Don't let me down." Li Yuan was not interested in talking nonsense to the guy in front of him and spoke in a low voice.

"I am a defeated soldier of the national army, and I am going to arrest people here today." He tried his best to hide it.

"Who are you arresting?" Li Yuan's eyes were no longer so sharp. He was once a soldier of the national army.

"I am planning to go to the station on the west island to report the news."

"Why do you need to go back to report someone when you arrest them?"

"The person I want to arrest is not here. I am planning to go back and ask if there is any problem with the news..."

Li Yuan slowly took out the bayonet and weighed it in his hand. Under the sunlight, a dazzling light flashed, preparing to cut the rope on his body.

When the people on the ground saw this, they were so frightened that they quickly shouted: "I said, I said..."

Li Yuan was confused. What was going on? Did this kid have a secret? The movements of his hands stopped.

"I am a member of the Wu County Sustaining Association. We have no choice. If we don't join the Sustaining Association, we will not be able to gain a foothold in this place and will be beheaded by the Japanese." The man on the ground poured beans out of bamboo tubes and said everything.

Even so, Li Yuan didn't think about killing anyone: "Tell me, who are you going to arrest this time?"

Li Yuan concluded that what these people should do was not a good thing.

Seeing that Li Yuan did not take action immediately, the people on the ground responded quickly: "These are all three columns of national troops. They and another group of people robbed a batch of goods from the president. Their leader has a lover here."

In the village, we are going to arrest this person and ask them to return the goods."

"What kind of goods?"

"Smoky soil."

"Wang Xiaoer, go out with Zeng Youcai on sentry duty."

"I'm not a child. I know what you want to do. It's not like I've never seen it before!"

Wang Xiaoer didn't want to move. When he saw Li Yuan staring at him but not speaking, he had to walk slowly outside the reeds: "What's there to see?" He only spent a short time with Li Yuan and knew that Li Yuan hated him very much.

People of Yantu, this guy looks like he won't be able to do well this time.
