"Chief Lin died for his country?" Xu Liufu was stunned for a moment, and then said with great sadness, "Oh, Chief Lin is a gentle man, understands etiquette, and knows military affairs. He is such a good officer, why did he die for his country? Old man
The sky doesn’t have eyes.∽↗,”
Xu Rui's ability to read people was first-class. He could see that the old man in front of him was not an act, and his feelings of regret were definitely from the bottom of his heart.
At that moment, Xu Rui said: "Old man, we died on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, and we deserved to die!"
"Having said that, he can only fight the Japanese if he is alive." Xu Liufu sighed, his expression desolate.
When he looked up again, he found that all the national troops around him looked tired. Xu Liufu said again: "Fellow military lords, you have worked hard to fight the Japanese. You must be hungry and tired, right? In this case, I will go and take out the long pillars."
Call them back, let them boil some pots of hot water for you military masters to take a hot bath, and then make some food for everyone."
After finishing speaking, Xu Liufu walked out happily, planning to call someone.
"Stop!" Yang Banan stepped forward to stop Xu Liufu and asked, "Where are you going?"
Xu Liufu didn't think too much and replied with a smile: "Sir, don't worry. I'm not going anywhere. I went to Caodianzi at the entrance of the town to call for help. Changzhu, Changsuo and Aqing's wife also came back and were hiding in the town."
In the meadow outside, I was just worried that there were still Japs in the town, so I didn’t dare to come back with the old man, haha.”
"The meadow outside the town?" Yang Badan said coldly, "Where is it? How many people are there in total?"
"Sir, what do you mean by this?" Xu Liufu's face became a little angry. In any case, he is a well-known figure in Baoxing Town and even the entire Wuxi City, but now he is being judged like a prisoner, and he is still being judged by his own family.
Of course he felt unhappy when he was interrogated by the army. Why did he suspect that he was collaborating with the enemy?
"Yang, get out of here!" Xu Rui couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and pushed Yang Banan away.
"Captain Xu." Yang Banan turned back to block the small door and said coldly, "I am doing this for safety reasons."
"Safety?" Xu Rui said suddenly, "Don't use safety as an excuse. I ask you to understand clearly that these are our compatriots, not traitors! And they are not Japanese soldiers!"
"Battle Commander Xu, I also ask you to find out." Yang Ba said, "You know people but don't know their hearts. How can you be sure that he is not a traitor? What did he call you just now? Taijun! Just now he called you Taijun.
Come on, Jun, who shouted that, Tai Jun? Isn’t it just traitors who shout that?”
Xu Liufu's face became very embarrassed, but he had nothing to say.
Because just now Xu Liufu did indeed call Xu Rui Taijun.
Xu Rui could see that Yang Badan's accusation had seriously hurt the old man's emotions.
Xu Rui's face turned gloomy at that moment, and he said coldly: "Commissioner Yang, I don't want to say the same thing again. Do you want to let me, or not?"
"Battle Commander Xu, let me remind you again." Yang Banan said angrily, "Your carelessness may very well put everyone here in danger. Can you bear this responsibility?"
"I can afford it!" Xu Rui said, but his hand had already removed the Sanba cap from his shoulder, pushed the bullet into the chamber, and his tone of voice revealed cold murderous intent, and said to Yang Banan who turned around, "Yang Te sent
"Commander, I'm only counting to three. If you still refuse to get out of the way after counting to three, then don't blame me for being rude to you, one!"
"Xu, don't scare me, I'm not that scared!" Yang Banan said sternly.
As he spoke, Yang Banan also pulled out his Browning pistol. Seeing Yang Banan pull out his gun, the five guards behind him also raised their rifles.
Li Hai, Hei Qi and the others were not willing to show weakness, so they immediately raised their submachine guns.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and a melee was about to break out. Xu Liufu quickly came over and stood between Xu Rui and Yang Banan, and then said to Xu Rui in a sincere tone: "This is Chief Xu, right? Chief Xu, please
Calm down, for safety reasons, Chief Yang should be more cautious, but just now it was old Meng Lang."
"Uncle, don't say anything. As citizens, you have done your duty by paying taxes according to the law. But as soldiers, we, with the military pay you provided, failed to fulfill our responsibility to protect you people.
It was a huge dereliction of duty that Baoxing Town was burned down by the little devils."
After saying this, Xu Rui turned back to glare at Yang Banan and said sternly: "But some people still have the nerve to suspect you of collaborating with the enemy. You are really shameless. I am ashamed to associate with such people."
Yang Banan said angrily: "Who are you talking about, Xu?"
Xu Rui snorted, then counted: "Two!"
As soon as Xu Rui finished speaking, Hei Qi and Li Hai pulled the bolt of their guns without hesitation.
Yang Banan and the five guards also quickly pulled the bolts of their guns, but the expressions on their faces began to become nervous.
Especially Yang Banan, he had no doubt that Xu Rui would definitely start the fire decisively when he counted to three!
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Cui Jiu quickly turned his eyes to Jiangnan. Before leaving, the stationmaster said that all actions must be subject to Jiangnan's command. Cui Jiu hoped that Jiangnan would step in to stop it.
The expression on Jiang Nan's face seemed calm and unhurried.
In fact, Jiangnan had already predicted that Yang Banan would eventually choose to give in.
Sure enough, before Xu Rui counted to three, Yang Banan put away the Browning and asked the guards behind him to put away their guns, but he refused to give in: "If the person named Xu suffers serious consequences from this,
You must be responsible for this!"
"What nonsense." Xu Rui snorted, and when he turned to Xu Liufu, his expression became gentle again, and said: "Uncle, I apologize to you on behalf of Commissioner Yang. Please don't take it seriously."
"Mr. Xu's words are serious, Chief Xu's words are serious." Xu Liufu waved his hands repeatedly, but his mood became much smoother.
Xu Liufu went out, and Xu Rui called to Hei Qi, Li Hai and others: "What are you doing standing still? Hurry up and chop wood and carry water. Do you really think you are a master, waiting for someone to serve you?"
Xu Rui's words were superficially talking about Hei Qi and the others, but they were actually scolding Yang Bayan and the others. Yang Bayan snorted and went to work with the five guards.
Cui Jiu also sent his six Rangers to carry water, but he followed Jiang Nan and asked in a low voice: "Miss Jiang, it is not good for Commissioner Yang to make random suspicions, but Battalion Commander Xu is too careless.
Right? I think we should send two people to follow the old man."
"Careless?" Jiang Nan glanced at Xu Rui who was chopping firewood with an ax from a distance, and whispered, "This guy has a very careful heart. Ah Jiu, you should always remember that in fact, the only ones who are really willing to degenerate into traitors are
A very small number of people, the vast majority of our compatriots, are forced to submit to the Japs only because of various pressures. If the man named Xu is so frank, it will no longer be possible for that uncle to be the Japs' lackey. This is really heartbreaking.
For what purpose!"
"What's more important is attacking the heart?" Cui Jiudao said, "Miss Jiang, what you are saying is too mysterious, isn't it?"
"I also hope that I am overthinking it." Jiang Nan spread his hands and added, "But my reason tells me that people named Xu are so unfathomable."
Soon, Xu Liufu left and returned, bringing back more than a dozen servants.
The huge Bao Mansion became lively, and the kitchen was steaming with steam.
Xu Rui asked Li Hai, Hei Qi and the others to empty several large seven-stone vats in the corner of the backyard patio, then pour the boiled hot water into the vat, then pour in cold water to adjust the temperature, and then Xu Rui took off his clothes several times.
Wearing a military uniform, he walked naked to a large vat.
Li Hai and Hei Qi glanced at Xu Rui's crotch, then said "" at the same time, and walked towards another large vat.
Xu Rui jumped into the big tank with a pop, and patted the water to greet the two of them: "Dahai, Xiaoqi, come over here, I can squeeze two more people in here."
"In the camp, you'd better wash it alone." Li Hai said, "With you, I'm under pressure."
"That's right." Hei Qi curled his lips and said, "Yingzuo, with you, we will feel inferior."
Only then did Xu Rui realize what the two of them were referring to, and he immediately laughed strangely. You can't blame him for this.
Xu Rui immersed his entire body in the hot water. The hot water was still a little hot, but it was more effective in relieving fatigue. Xu Rui's muscles were scalded by the hot water, making every pore open in comfort, and his body became more comfortable.
To get rid of each other, Hei Qi and Li Hai also took off their clothes and jumped into another large vat. They also screamed in comfort.
He Shuya came in with a bucket of hot water, and Xu Rui called to He Shuya: "Bookworm, come over here."
Although He Shuya had already been on the battlefield and had killed people, he was still only seventeen years old after all. He still retained the shyness of a young man and immediately shook his head.
"You're a grown man, why are you so shy?" Hei Qi jumped out of the vat naked, grabbed He Shuya like an eagle catching a chick, stripped He Shuya naked a few times, and then followed in with the water.
Xiao Mao and Ah Fu lifted He Shuya up and threw him into another large vat.
As soon as He Shuya entered the bathtub, the shyness he felt just now disappeared immediately. He was so happy that he even sang at the top of his voice, "My home is on the Songhua River in the Northeast."
My home is on the Songhua River in Northeast China,
There are forest coal mines there,
And there are soybeans and sorghum all over the mountains and plains...
He Shuya's voice was very good and penetrating. Xu Rui suspected that the Fuxing Society Rangers and Yang Banan who were bathing in several nearby yards also heard it. Maybe Jiang Nan who was hiding in the room and taking a bath also heard it.
.
After singing it twice, He Shuya's voice began to choke, and his cheeks were already filled with tears.
He Shuya recalled his hometown again, and the green rice fields beside the Songhua River. Every time he went to the autumn fields, the air was filled with the fragrance of rice ears. Also, when he left home, his parents stood at the entrance of the village.
He Shuya would never forget the look of his mother in tears as she said goodbye to him under the tree.
At the end of the song, He Shuya could no longer sing, so he just howled: "Dad, mother..."
Several pairs of big hands suddenly fell on He Shuya's head. He Shuya looked up his tear-stained face and saw that Xu Rui and others had been fully dressed and were standing around his bathtub.
Xu Rui touched He Shuya's head and said, "Bookworm, please believe me, one day we will fight back to the Northeast and take back the three northeastern provinces from the little devils!"
He Shuya sighed with a cry.
