Li Yuan rarely does local work and has no experience in this area. If he can find a place to stay alone, it will be fine, but it will be a big deal if he brings so many people with him.

In the past, there were military depots for accommodation. Every place we went to was already arranged by other soldiers. I really didn’t know how to arrange the specific arrangements. Now that I arrived in this strange village, I was a little nervous. First, I looked around, left and right, and looked around.

But the yard in front of every house is fenced with bamboo.

The fences have been closed, the doors and windows in the house are also closed, and there is no light. Dogs can still be heard barking outside the village. However, as soon as the first few people entered the village, their dogs stopped barking. They must have raised dogs.

The dog's owner blocked the dog's mouth, and it was really a bit of a bastard chewing the eggs with nowhere to start.

This makes people laugh and cry.

After entering the village, Li Yuan's accent made it difficult for him to deal with the local people, and it was difficult for him to deal with them. After learning about the situation, several young men from the twenty recruits in the fourth platoon came up bravely on their own, saying that they were going to complete the task of finding people to stay overnight.

The situation here is similar to that in Changxing, and it is also very complicated. There are bandits in the mountains to the west, the county town in the south is occupied by Japanese soldiers, the national army has broken down in various villages, and there are guerrillas in the organization.

Regarding the situation of bandits, there are some differences between bandits in the Jiangnan area and bandits in other parts of China. Many bandits in other places either kill people or steal goods, and some use the pretext of robbing the rich to help the poor, kidnapping and extorting money, all in order to satisfy their selfish desires of eating and doing nothing.

The bandits in the south of the Yangtze River are slightly different. Most of them are in plain areas and have no basis for survival. What's more, there are local red spears to protect their homes, local troops of the national army, and local nursing homes for wealthy gentry and wealthy households in each township.

The education in Jiangnan is better than other places, and the economy is the leader in the country. The local gentry and wealthy households pay more attention to stability. Wuxing (Huzhou) is the home base of the Kuomintang. They are constantly recruiting bandits and the army is also relatively powerful in crackdowns. However, due to

In some economic competitive relationships, rich households even secretly collude with some bandits. The military also supports the bandits and colludes with each other.

The Red Spear Society was originally a local peasant armed force organized voluntarily by the surname Lao Bai. Later, it almost fell into the hands of rich bandits, or it may represent the interests of the rich.

Since the economy in the Jiangnan area is good, most bandits use the pretense of robbing the rich to help the poor. On the surface, they do not rob ordinary people. But in fact, because there are many rich people in Jiangnan, robbing ordinary people will ruin their reputation.

Of course, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. Some small bandit groups are themselves evil places, committing many evils and committing all kinds of evil. The various bandit forces also fight openly and secretly among themselves.

No one really thinks about the people.

The life of ordinary people is still very difficult, and the most important thing is the annexation of land by wealthy households.

Therefore, in the past few years, the organization had arranged personnel to carry out the grain distribution movement and the agrarian revolution. It led a large riot in Guangde, south of Linxi, but was suppressed by the national army five or six times, and even dispatched the garrison of the capital Nanjing.

The organizationally established Red Army had no foreign aid, more than 2,000 people, and only more than 600 guns, most of which were still old-fashioned. Militarily, there was no way to compare with the national army, and it was ultimately defeated.

Later, most of the organization's personnel retreated to the Langxi Mountains, and the armed forces in the organization went underground, but the foundation remained. The organization represented the interests of the common people and received great support from the common people. Guerrillas and Red Guards were established here.

, children's group.

...

Li Yuan thought about this. Now that he can't contact the comrades here, he can't just squat in the wild for a night in the cold weather. He made a brief calculation with a few young people who entered the village together. Although they all brought money, but now

It was already dark, and every house had its doors closed and not even the lights on.

This is actually to guard against Li Yuan and the others. Who knows what you are knocking on? A few young people relied on their youth and boldness to knock on the door.

After knocking on several doors, I was dumbfounded. Not to mention staying overnight, I couldn't even meet anyone. There was clearly someone in the house, but no one answered at all. There was clearly a child crying in one of the houses. Wait a few days.

As soon as the little soldier knocked on the door, there was immediately no movement.

Last year, the Japanese wanted to attack Nanjing, the capital of the National Government, from the south for strategic reasons. They occupied Linxi and killed many people when they passed by. Later, they left no garrison and were "recovered" by the national army. When the national army captured Guangde, the Japanese

Four days ago, on March 24, they attacked Linxi from Wuhu in the west, occupied Langxi again, and killed nearly ten thousand people. How could these ordinary people not be afraid?

For ordinary people, they can encounter bandits every three days, the national army is constantly exploiting the people, and the Japanese are killing people like crazy. Strangers knock on the door in the middle of the night. Whoever opens the door must be out of their mind. Maybe

Just have to wait until dawn.

Li Yuan gave up the idea of ​​knocking on the door, returned to the empty threshing floor before entering the village, leaned against the straw pile where the people were standing there, took out a cigarette and started to smoke it in the southeast wind of the spring night.

Yun Tuwu waited for the young men who had split up to come back.

As expected by Li Yuan, several young soldiers who were full of confidence came back dejectedly. They knocked on the door from the beginning of the village to the end of the village, but no one answered the door, let alone opened the door!

There is no road ahead until the car reaches the mountain, and there is another village with dark willows and bright flowers.

Everyone was at a loss as to what to do, and when they were preparing to deal with the threshing ground all night, the leading soldier who went to the south came with a man from the south towards the threshing ground where the fire was shining.

Most people in Tangxia Village are named Luo, not Tang.

The leading soldier was reporting: "This man said his surname is Luo. He seems to be from this village. He has always been worshiped by ghosts. He doesn't look like a good person. He also carries a big knife. He said he is a bamboo cutter. I don't know.

, How can I use such a big knife to chop bamboo? I don’t know if I have any accomplices at the moment.”

After hearing what the soldier said, Li Yuan struck a match and lit another cigarette. The cigarette he just lost when the two people came over, he asked without emotion: "What do you do?"

The man surnamed Luo said: "Sir, I am from this village. I just came home late after cutting bamboo, so I met your elder brother, and he brought me here. I am a good person."

"

"You are not very honest. First of all, you walk very steadily here. Secondly, you speak clearly and clearly. You don't look like someone who chops bamboo or makes something to sell in the village."

"Sir, please be clear. I am really not a bad person. My whole family, young and old, is counting on me. Please be kind to me. I will bow to you..."

Li Yuan was a little impatient. He couldn't just let the soldiers kidnap people when he discovered spies like before. The organizational requirements must be followed. He helplessly said to the leading soldiers: "Our whereabouts cannot be leaked for the time being. Arrange people to surround the village."

Get up, before we leave, we are only allowed in but not allowed out."

The leading soldier replied: "Yes, I will arrange for the comrades to execute it immediately."

Just as the leading soldier was about to leave, the man surnamed Luo heard the word "comrades" and was excited. At this time, he suddenly said: "Are you going to the Mei family in the north to visit relatives?"

Li Yuan was stunned: This is the contact code from Meicheng. This person is coming from the same place. Could it be that he is from the organization, but they shouldn't be here. What is going on?

But he still responded according to the joint regulations: "We went to Zhu's house to buy grain. I heard that the price is rising again."

Lao Luo continued to ask: "It's not easy to buy rice now, but business is easy in the south."

Li Yuan was absolutely right when he heard it: "It's hard to eat Taihu fish now."

This code was too long, and Li Yuan had to memorize it for a long time before he could remember it. Fortunately, the organization took into account that many grassroots staff were not very educated, so the code was easy to understand, but each party had only two sentences each, just like a family conversation.

, it is not easy to be suspected, and the people who designed it also took great pains.
