The War of Resistance

Now that it was confirmed that this was Dawang Village, Shang Zhen looked at the locations of villages and towns on the map. There was a town called Liuji in the southeast, which was more than 20 miles away.

As for the map, the symbols on it are all the same, and the town is also a slightly larger circle.

At present, it seems that some time ago, the Japanese army was in a hurry to cross the river and had no time to take care of the affairs in the countryside. But now that China and Japan are confronting each other across the river, it is only a matter of time before the Japanese army goes to the countryside.

"Let's stay in this village first, and then go investigate the situation." Shang Zhen ordered loudly, and then sent out sentries.

Since we want to live here, we have to find a house to live in since this is still a village.

But when Shang Zhen sent the soldiers away in groups of three and two to find a place to live, Shang Zhen discovered that the villagers here were still not very friendly to them, and the doors of each house were closed. .

What is the Chinese idiom called? It's called "keep out", yes. No one in the village paid any attention to them, and they didn't even show their face this time. Doesn't that make it clear that people like Shang Zhen are not welcome?

Some soldiers returned, and sure enough they found no place to stay.

The houses in this village are generally tall, not to mention the size of the yards, but they all have high walls. Even if they knock on the door, the villagers won't open the door.

As for finding a firewood shed, I'm sorry, there are alleys between houses with high walls, and their firewood shed is also in the yard, so they can't jump over the wall to get in.

"What a shabby place!" Ma Erhu, who came back to report to Shang Zhen that he couldn't find the place, began to curse. "Look at all the dead people. It seems like we owe them 800 yuan!"

And this was because Ma Erhuzi didn't know that he had been scolded by the old man just now. Neither Shang Zhen nor Qian Chuan'er dared to tell him, for fear that he would scare the people by blowing his beard and staring.

"Are the people in this place timid and frightened by the little Japs?" Qian Chuan'er, who was still with Shang Zhen, analyzed.

Shang Zhen shook his head: "Have you ever seen a timid person dare to ignore us soldiers?"

Qian Chuan'er was speechless.

What Shang Zhen said is absolutely logically true.

That is, the timid people saw dozens of them entering the village with guns and ammunition, but they all hid in their homes. If they were really smart, they might as well go out and deal with them.

After all, it is impossible for a soldier with a gun to start a fire and say that the people are not afraid. That is not something you cannot hide in your home, even if your home is a high-walled compound.

"Looking at this situation, it's hard to find a place to live! It would be great if Uncle Wang was here." Qian Chuan'er said again.

"Why does it have to be Old Uncle Wang?" Ma Erhuzi asked.

"He's a tough guy. The people won't let us live here. How can he get us a house with firewood even though he's so ignorant?" Qian Chuan'er said.

In this operation, Shang Zhen did not let Mr. Wang follow him deep into the south bank of the Huaihe River.

This was not because Shang Zhen was still angry about what happened last time, but because he considered that Mr. Wang was already reaching his fifties and his physical strength was not as good as before, so he asked him to follow him and Shi Xiaowan to guard the river. The ship came to pick them up.

Different eras have different meanings for which stage of life you are at.

If in later generations, the average life span of Chinese people has reached seventy-three years, then fifty years old can only be regarded as middle age.

But now the average life span of the people in the Republic of China is thirty-five years old. What is the concept? This means that if a person lives to forty years old, it will be considered a long life. Then the old man Wang has already reached the age of five, so that doesn’t count. Old man? This is really rare in the seventies since ancient times, and rare in the fifties of the Republic of China!

However, in later generations, someone actually came up with the theory that the Republic of China produced great masters and that it had a golden decade. This is really weird!

The illiteracy rate in the Republic of China reached 80%, and the masters who came out were just the best among the poor, and most of them were liberal arts majors.

What's more, heavy weapons can only make a mortar and imitate a Maxim heavy machine gun. How can such an industry talk about a golden decade?

So even if there is gold, it is just a thin layer, just a little gold powder on the face of the Republic of China.

When Qian Chuan'er said this, he naturally looked at Shang Zhen, who was noncommittal.

Shang Zhen usually didn't interfere with the matter of finding a campsite, and he didn't bother to take care of it.

If he were left to do it on his own, he certainly wouldn't be like Mr. Wang, who showed off his beard and went down the mountain, bluffing the whole thing.

But if Mr. Wang and the others go ahead and scare the common people into finding a place to live, Shang Zhen won't object.

After all, Shang Zhen knew that they were all from the Northeast. From the outside, they looked scary at first glance, but they were not bad at heart.

It was out of habit for them to talk profanity among themselves, and it was also out of habit to scold the common people, but Shang Zhen knew that they were the only ones who had never hit any common people, including Mr. Wang! On the contrary, when the puppet troops harmed the people, they tried their best to protect the people.

However, this is the first time Shang Zhen has encountered this situation. The people here are indeed not very friendly to their team.

What exactly is this situation? Is there some hidden secret in it?

Just as Shang Zhen was thinking about it, more soldiers returned one after another. Looking at the depressed expressions of the soldiers, Shang Zhen knew without asking that they also had not found a place to live.

"Why are the people here acting like this in this wretched place? It's as if we jumped into a well with their children." Hou Kanshan, who also came back, actually started to curse.

Since Hou Kanshan's temperament changed drastically, he rarely cursed others. It can be seen that these villagers also made him anxious this time.

"Boss, I found a good place. The house there is big and there is no chimney. How about we live there!" Suddenly footsteps and shouts came at the same time, but it was Hu Zhuzhu running back.

As soon as Hu Zhuzhu said this, the soldiers looked at Shang Zhen.

Shang Zhen took a look at Hu Zhuzi's appearance. No one knew what he was thinking, but he waved his hand in the end, which naturally meant that he agreed.

Tiger Pillar led the way, and the soldiers rushed there. When they arrived at a part of the village, they saw a big house there that really had no chimney.

There is no chimney, which means no one lives inside. At least it proves that no one is making smoke and starting a fire!

Just when they saw that house, most of the soldiers curled their lips. Just this house——

No one else has discovered such a good place, but you, Hu Zhuzhu, can discover it? As expected.

"This house is uninhabitable." Shang Zhen directly gave Hu Zhuzi a blow to the head.

"Why?" Hu Zhu asked.

"This is the ancestral hall of this village." Shang Zhen said.

"What ancestral hall?" Hu Zhuzhu didn't understand.

At this time, Qian Chuan'er pointed at the house and said, "Did you see the plaque hanging on it? The words on it say, 'Wang's Ancestral Hall.'"

"Why throw away the Wang family ancestral hall?" Hu Zhuzhu still didn't understand.

"To put it bluntly, this is the place where ancestral tablets are held in other villages. Do you understand what a tablet is?" Qian Chuan'er explained again.

"I don't understand." Hu Zhuzhu shook his head.

"Do you know the ancestral graves? The ancestral graves of us Northeasterners!" Qian Chuan'er said angrily.

"I know that." Hu Zhuzhu replied.

"Then just think of this as the ancestral grave in this village. When did we Northeasterners live in whose ancestral grave?" Qian Chuan'er said angrily.

Qian Chuan'er said this, and the other soldiers were happy to hear it.

Although they don't understand it very well, no matter how stupid they are, they can still figure out that even if the ancestral graves and the ancestral hall where the ancestors' tablets are placed are similar, they can never be the same thing!

Others thought so, but Hu Zhuzhu also thought so, but the direction of his thoughts was different from others: "Isn't it good to live in other people's ancestral graves?

It is said that if a person is a little tall, there will be smoke coming out of the ancestral graves. So if we live here and make some fireworks, will the people in this village have smoke coming out of the ancestral graves? "

Fools have their own fool's logic, and tigers have their own ways of being superior to tigers. This is how the passionate Tiger Zhuzhu understands.
