The War of Resistance

A suona sound sounded on the bank of the Huaihe River, and the high-pitched sound floated on the water of the Huaihe River. Finally, when the sound reached

In the ears of Northeastern people, they couldn't hear clearly due to the distance, but someone still shouted in a low voice: "It seems like someone is blowing a trumpet!" "Well, it's the sound played by the trumpeter." His companion responded. Peace.

The one who spoke was Qian Chuan'er, the one who echoed Qian Chuan'er was Ma Erhuzi, and with them were Shang Zhen, Chu Tian and Chen Hanwen.

And less than a hundred meters behind the three of them, there were dozens of soldiers with guns and live ammunition.

Shang Zhen and the others really came to the south bank of the Huaihe River to get guns, and now five days have passed since he and Captain Zhan settled the matter.

The reason why it took so long was because it was not easy to find a boat on the north bank of the Huaihe River. At the same time, it was naturally impossible for Shang Zhen and the others to cross the river directly from Xiaobengbu, but they went west along the north bank of the Huaihe River. After dozens of miles, we crossed the Huaihe River.

This time, they all changed into civilian clothes when they came to the enemy-occupied area to seize weapons. Company Commander Zhan also sent a platoon of men to Shang Zhen, and they all brought short guns.

Arriving on the south bank of the Huaihe River is no different than on the north bank. It is now an enemy-occupied area. If all of them are holding long guns, how can they hide their identities? Just by looking at the Type 38 rifles used by Shang Zhen and his group, ordinary people would think that they were Japanese troops, but when the Japanese troops saw them, they would know that they were Chinese troops.

As a result, Shang Zhen took a high look at the company commander Zhan. This person was not bad and could be dealt with. At least he knew that it was a cooperation between the two parties and not using Shang Zhen and the others as gunmen. After all, everyone knew that he was going out to grab weapons. Just fighting the Japanese army was much more dangerous than transporting them across the river to take cover.

"The sound of trumpets at least means that there are no Japs nearby. But even if there are no Japs and you still dare to blow the trumpets, aren't you afraid of attracting the little Japs?" Shang Zhen was analyzing to himself.

At this time, Shang Zhen naturally returned to his usual state and was no longer angry with his soldiers.

After all, Shang Zhen's position in their group was earned by himself.

If Shang Zhen usually doesn't show off his power, it's because he has a good temper. Who wouldn't be afraid if he lowers his face this time?

This time, the soldiers finally saw Shang Zhen, an honest man, losing his temper. Even the usually domineering Wang Lao Mao hesitated when he saw Shang Zhen. They soldiers did not even dare to breathe loudly. If you dare to speak loudly, in Hu Zhuzi's words, you have to look around for fear of causing Shang Zhen's bad luck again.

The incident was over as soon as it was over, but the soldiers also discussed it in private and understood that they really couldn't offend Shang Zhen, the little ancestor, in the future. His face made them unable to chat.

"The Japs have been here for a while, so it's not like the common people will have a hard time when the Japs come. There are always weddings and funerals." Chu Tian understood the people.

"Actually, let me tell you, our Chinese people are really the most honest people in the world.

As long as you can survive and get by, you will be content. However, these Japanese devils don't understand this. They have made life difficult for the common people. So why don't the common people fight with them? "Chen Hanwen also expressed his views.

"What do you mean by that? If you say so, then if the little devil allows us Chinese to live and live, then we Chinese will not resist? Then the little devil hopes that we Chinese will become obedient citizens for them. , but you just go along, you don’t know how you will die in the end." Chu Tian said dissatisfied.

"That's what I said. I didn't mean what you said." Chen Hanwen hurriedly explained.

"Bai Wuyi is a scholar, the Japanese are beasts, and you must be obedient to the beasts. Scholar, I think your brain has been beaten by the disciples, so go ahead." Shang Zhen also expressed his dissatisfaction with Chen Hanwen's pedantry. .

Chen Hanwen blushed and remained silent.

As the leading soldiers, the five of them continued to move forward, while the soldiers behind saw Shang Zhen and the others moving and followed them from a distance.

As Shang Zhen and the others walked forward, the suona sound in front naturally became louder and louder, and they could hear it more and more clearly.

"It sounds quite sad. Someone died in the front, right?" Qian Chuan'er said again.

Shang Zhen took out the telescope and started to look forward. After watching for a moment, he whispered "It's really true" and then handed the telescope to Chu Tian.

Chu Tian picked up the telescope and looked at it, and this time he saw clearly that there was really a funeral procession ahead. The people in front of the procession were all wearing sackcloth and mourning. There were also people walking and raising paper money into the sky, and they were hidden among the people. I saw someone carrying the coffin moving forward.

"Isn't it that the little devil has already been here?" Chu Tian said worriedly as he handed back the telescope.

"No, if the kid comes, do you think only one person will die? Go around." Shang Zhen said.

Under Shang Zhen's order, a few of their leading soldiers moved far away, and the team behind them naturally followed.

Just as they bypassed the funeral procession, the suona sound in the rear stopped, but the suona sound in front of them rang again, and this time the suona sound was much louder than the suona sound they heard before. Although the sound sounded high-pitched but sad, this time it was really "tick-tock-tick-tock-tock-tock-blow-the-trumpet"!

"Isn't the kid really here? Why are there dead people in front of you?" Ma Erhuzi was a little anxious.

But just when they all grasped their guns, Shang Zhen said: "It doesn't look like a dead person. Listen, it looks like a festive movement."

Um? As soon as they heard what Shang Zhen said, the top soldiers listened attentively, but no matter what, they heard the same high-pitched suona sound in their ears, but what they heard before was a sad tune, but this time they heard a happy tune.

"Is there someone getting married in front of you? Boss, why don't I go over and have a look? Maybe I can get some money for the wedding!" Qian Chuan'er said with a smile.

"Okay, you and Chu Tian go over and take a look, find out what's going on, and hide the guns." Shang Zhen ordered.

"Okay." Qian Chuan'er and Chu Tian responded at the same time. Both of them lifted up their cotton robes and tucked the box cannons in their hands to their lower backs.

Shang Zhen and the others only had two box cannons, one for Shang Zhen and one for Ma Tian. However, the box cannons used by the three of them were all "borrowed" from Company Commander Zhan.

Qian Chuan'er and Chu Tian went to the village ahead, but they came back soon. They used to be wary, but when they came back, they were happy.

"Boss, you guessed it, this is really a happy event, or two happy events!" Qian Chuan'er said with a happy smile.

"What happy event?" Chen Hanwen asked.

"In the village ahead, a family gave birth to a fat boy. It was said that it was a single generation, and one family even had a daughter-in-law." Qian Chuan'er said with a smile.

"Did you get any money?" Ma Erhuzi asked curiously.

"Guess!" Qian Chuan'er started to tell the truth, and Ma Erhuzi started to guess, and the two of them started to quarrel.

But at this time, Chu Tian noticed that Shang Zhen became thoughtful.

"Boss, what are you thinking about?" Chu Tian finally asked Shang Zhen curiously.

“Some families have just gotten married and are preparing to have a baby, some families have a new baby, but in other families someone has died.

This time the Japanese invaders are here, and many more people will die than before. I don’t know how many more people have died. This is called a violent death.

Alas, compared with dying unexpectedly, death of old age and illness can be considered a kind of happiness. "Shang Zhen couldn't help but sigh.

Shang Zhen originally had limited education, but over the years he has never forgotten to read and read. As his experience increased, he naturally had his own insights into life, and he was able to express them appropriately.

"When you say this, I am reminded of a story in Buddhism that I have read. It is said that Tathagata Buddha was a prince before he became a monk. One day he went out and saw different people living, old, sick and dying. He felt that life was suffering. Later he He has attained enlightenment in Buddhism, and this is how we usually call him a monk." After hearing Shang Zhen's insights, Chu Tian remembered the allusions in Buddhism.

To say that this person has read too much is a bit pedantic. Although Shang Zhen sighed, Chu Tian talked about Buddhism. How could Shang Zhen have the heart to listen to Shang Zhen talking about monks? After all, his reading was far from limited. So profound that I went to study Buddhist scriptures.

"Okay, don't go too far. What I want to say is, since the little devil made us Chinese die, then we must also let the little devil die a good death!" Shang Zhen said.

Shang Zhen spoke in a low voice. He thought he just said a very ordinary thing, but for some reason, Chu Tian heard a chill in Shang Zhen's words.
