Chapter 1369 Repentance and Growth
"Where are you from and where are you going?" The puppet security forces raised their Zhongzheng rifles, pointed the muzzles at the boatman in the peng boat, and asked loudly.
"Boss, I'm from Yaojiawa. I went to the city to visit relatives and now I'm back to Yaojiawa." Yao Dali responded according to the answer that had been agreed upon long ago.
"Visiting relatives?" Lian Shuping looked at the black-sailed boat and suddenly shouted, "There are still people in the black-sailed boat, come out."
"Come out, or I'll shoot." He pointed his gun at Wu Peng and shouted to his companion beside him, "Da Qi."
Lu Yuanqi immediately pulled the bolt and shouted, "Come out, or I'll shoot."
As he said that, he turned his head and shouted to Kasheli, "Squad Leader."
"Boss, boss, don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand." Fu Bangzhen hurriedly crawled out of the black tent, then looked up and saw the black muzzle of the gun, and his face turned pale with fear, "Boss, don't shoot, don't shoot."
"Tell me, what did you do just now?" Lian Shuping raised the muzzle of his gun.
"Some kid took a shit in the cabin and stepped on it." Fu Bangzhen said with a bitter face. As he spoke, he bent down to take off his cloth shoes and held up the shit on his shoes. "Boss, look, this is unlucky."
"I really stepped in shit." Lu Yuanqi took a look and said to Lian Shuping, sniffing hard, "It stinks."
Lian Shuping looked hesitant as he looked at the two people on the boat.
"Boss, please do me a favor." Yao Dali said as he took out a sack from his crotch. He poured out more than a dozen nickel coins. After hesitating for a moment, he secretly hid two nickel coins in his hand, then put the remaining nickels back into the sack and threw the sack over.
Lu Yuanqi took the sack and didn't mind that it was taken out from his crotch. He poured out the nickels from the sack and counted them. "Brother Ping, there's only one dollar and one cent in total."
As he said this, he put the nickel back into the sack, stuffed the sack into his pocket, and pointed at Yao Dali, "I still have some in my hand."
Yao Dali looked embarrassed.
"Hey, I'm talking to you--" Lu Yuanqi cursed and raised the gun again, pointing it at Yao Dali.
……
"What are you yelling about?"
"Sergeant, it's nothing, just two poor guys who came to the city to visit relatives." Lu Yuanqi turned his head and said to Sergeant Wang.
"Do you know the rules? Just pay the toll and let them go." Squad Leader Wang cursed, "What are you yelling about? I thought something was wrong."
"Let's go." Lu Yuanqi touched the bag in his pocket and shouted.
"Thank you, boss." Yao Dali hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
Fu Bangzhen also clasped his fists and bowed repeatedly.
"Wait a minute." At this moment, Lian Shuping suddenly spoke up to stop him.
Then he trotted over to Squad Leader Wang and said, "Squad Leader, these two people are suspicious."
"Ok?"
"How can two grown men come to visit relatives in the city?" Lian Shuping said, "It's a rare opportunity to visit relatives in the city, and everyone will bring their mother-in-law and children with them."
As he said this, he glanced at the black-sailed boat and said, "At the very least, I can have a few more meals at my relatives' house in the city."
Squad leader Wang nodded. He took two steps forward, holding a half-broken bamboo pole in his hand, and pointed it at the two men, "How can two grown men visit their relatives together?"
"In response to the boss, I didn't dare let my wife follow me." Fu Bangzhen said quickly.
"What?"
"There is Taijun along the way." Fu Bangzhen said, his voice became a little softer and he looked cautious.
The three pseudo-security soldiers looked at each other, and then had to admit that this answer made damn sense.
"What's wrong?" a voice came.
All three of them quickly stood at attention.
"Third brother."
"Brother Pao."
"Company commander."
The three people have different names for Pengjiaqiao.
Squad leader Wang walked up to Peng Jiaqiao and whispered something while covering his mouth.
"Are you from Yaojiawa?" Peng Jiaqiao glanced at the two people on the black-sailed boat and asked.
"To answer the boss's question, I am from Yaojiawa and he is from Yanqiao." Yao Dali said with a nod and bow.
"From Yanqiao?" Peng Jiaqiao looked over.
Fu Bangzhen nodded quickly and bowed.
"He's a cultured man." Peng Jiaqiao laughed.
"I went to a private school for two days."
"There is a well at the entrance of Yanqiao Village. I remember that well is quite magical. It is said that drinking the well water can prolong one's life." said Peng Jiaqiao.
"I'm afraid the boss remembered it wrong." Fu Bangzhen looked confused, "There is no well at the entrance of the village, but there is an old well in the back village."
"Hey, I really remembered it wrong." Peng Jiaqiao laughed, and then said to squad leader Wang, "Let them go."
Lian Shuping opened his mouth and was about to speak.
But he saw Peng Jiaqiao walking back to Kashe without looking back, and hurriedly went to drink with the Japanese soldiers.
Thinking of the company commander's nickname "Peng Sanpao", he did not dare to offend the hot-tempered company commander. He could only work together with Lu Yuanqi to pull up the bamboo and wood structure that served as a sluice gate across the river.
……
After passing the water gate safely, Fu Bangzhen and Yao Dali finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tell me what you think." Fu Bangzhen sat in the black-sailed cabin, took out a bamboo jar from the bamboo basket, took out some tobacco leaves, and rolled them with waste newspaper to smoke.
"The enemy's military literacy is very average." Yao Dali said, "Brother Fu, when you bent down to take off your shoes, the two puppet soldiers did not stop you."
"Hmm." Fu Bangzhen skillfully rolled a cigarette, dipped it in saliva and stuck it together, then took a branch from under the stove, lit the cigarette, took two deep puffs, and showed a satisfied look, "Indeed, their defense is not that professional."
"However, that puppet soldier is indeed difficult to deal with." Yao Dali thought for a while and said, "If Peng Sanpao wasn't so easy to fool, this would really be a bit troublesome."
"Peng Sanpao is not so easy to fool." Fu Bangzhen shook his head. "There is indeed no old well at the entrance of Yanqiao Village. He said that, and most people would just agree with him."
"The enemy is indeed too cunning." Yao Dali was also very scared. Brother Fu's grandmother's home is in Yanqiao, and he knows Yanqiao very well. Otherwise, there might really be a big problem.
……
"Wang Ke." Peng Jiaqiao shouted at the top of his voice.
"Company commander, you called me." Squad leader Wang came running over.
"The lady is drunk, you have to watch her. She will probably feel thirsty in a while, so you have to be careful to serve her tea and water." Peng Jiaqiao said after burping.
"Yes."
"Okay, I'm going back." Peng Jiaqiao waved his hand, "Keep an eye on it, don't just think about making money, those poor people don't have much money."
"I know." Squad leader Wang sent Peng Jiaqiao away with a smile on his face.
after an hour.
There was a gentle knock on the door.
Peng Jiaqiao, who was snoring loudly in his sleep at home, opened his eyes and quietly came behind the door.
"Who?"
"It's me, Lao Jing."
Peng Jiaqiao opened the door, a man flashed in, and then the door was quickly closed.
……
"I could have stayed out today." Peng Jiaqiao said to the man sitting opposite him, "Although Lu Yuanqi likes to extort money, he is not a bad person. He will let you go."
"The problem lies with Lian Shuping again?" the man asked, frowning.
"Yes." Peng Jiaqiao nodded, "This man is quite clever and is a traitor to the country."
His expression was solemn. “People like this can’t be seen in plain sight, but they can do bad things unexpectedly at critical moments.”
The man nodded, "You're right."
He also showed a solemn expression, "Take this time as an example, you could have stayed out of the situation, but now you have, which may become a hidden danger in the future."
"That's not the case." Peng Jiaqiao shook his head and said with a smile, "Although I, 'Peng Sanpao', am a reckless person, I am also smart."
As he spoke, he told the other party how he had tested and identified the person with words.
"This is too dangerous." The man shook his head. "What if that comrade doesn't know the situation of Yanqiao?"
"You deserve it." Peng Jiaqiao said coldly, "Any fabricated identity must not be made up out of thin air. You must first be familiar with the relevant situation. Otherwise, that fake identity will become the most direct grave to bury yourself!"
The man looked towards Pengjiaqiao.
"Don't look at me like that. I don't have that kind of education." Peng Jiaqiao said, "My cousin told me that before."
"That's too thrilling." The man laughed bitterly, "If that comrade really..."
"He knows." Peng Jiaqiao smiled.
The man was stunned for a moment, looked at Peng Jiaqiao, then just nodded without asking any further questions.
……
Anhui, Jingxian County, Yunling.
Several New Fourth Army soldiers are practicing riding rickshaws.
"Very good, you ride very well." A young New Fourth Army soldier was teaching other comrades how to practice like a teacher.
The soldiers laughed happily.
The laughter infected the general who was watching them riding their bikes nearby, and a smile finally appeared on his stern face.
"Commander, the situation on Jiangnan East Road is very serious." A bespectacled cadre walked behind the man and said worriedly.
"The enemy wants to take advantage of the opportunity when the Jiangkang army is heading north and the Jiangnan East Route is empty, and strangle the 'New Jiangkang' which is still in its cradle." The commander spoke with a thick Sichuan accent, "This anti-mopping-up operation will be a very severe test for the comrades on the Jiangnan East Route."
"This is a test in fire. Our people's anti-Japanese armed forces cannot be defeated or destroyed. They can withstand any test." The commander said, "What I am most worried about now is the fellow villagers on Jiangnan East Road. Those beasts are capable of all kinds of evil."
……
"Commander Chen!" At this moment, the young New Fourth Army soldier who had just been teaching the soldiers to ride a rickshaw turned his head and saw the commander, and ran over happily.
The commander looked at the young soldier. His skin was whiter than many other soldiers, his hair was black and shiny, but he had the same fiery and high spirits.
"Kid, you taught me well," the commander said. "How did you learn to ride a rickshaw?"
"Commander Chen, don't you recognize me?"
"Who are you? Kobayashi Masao?" The commander looked carefully and said in surprise, "It's you. You speak Chinese very well now."
"Commander Chen, I am now a glorious New Fourth Army soldier." Kobayashi Masao said proudly.
"Well, I want to congratulate you." The commander pointed to the soldiers who were practicing in the distance, "You are their little teacher."
"Everyone let me take charge."
"It's not commanding, it's giving instructions." The commander corrected.
"Yes." Kobayashi Masao smiled shyly, like a student whose mistake was pointed out by the teacher.
"I remember you said you wanted to participate in the Olympics," said the commander.
"Yes, I want to participate in the cycling competition in the Olympics," said Kobayashi Masao. "Comrade Yu Chang told me that after we drive away the Japanese invaders, eliminate the Japanese imperialist warlords, liberate all of Japan, and peace comes, I can also participate in the Olympics."
When he said this, there was a longing smile on his face.
"Very good." The commander nodded happily. "Eliminating imperialism and winning peace is the common goal of the peace-loving people of China and Japan."
"Well, I hope that day will come soon." Kobayashi Masao nodded and said, "Liberate all of Japan, and Japan and China will become one family."
He smiled and said, "The fighters said they would cheer for me when I compete in the Olympics."
"I will cheer for you if you participate in the Olympics." The commander laughed and asked with concern, "Are all your Japanese friends in the Enemy Work Department as happy as you are?"
"Not really." Kobayashi Masao shook his head. "Kaga Nenghuo secretly cries every night."
"Is someone bullying him?" the commander asked seriously.
"No, everyone was very nice to us," said Kobayashi Masao. "Kaga Nohto was from Nagasaki. After he was drafted, his wife stayed at home to take care of their two children. His wife fell ill and died because they had no money to treat her."
"Where are the two children?"
"Kaga's wife, who is still alive, owes some money for medical treatment, and his five-year-old son and two-year-old daughter were taken away by creditors to pay off the debts."
The commander was silent. He looked at Kobayashi Masao and said, "Kobayashi, this war of aggression launched by Japanese imperialism has also brought suffering to the Japanese people."
"I am ashamed of my previous ignorance and stupidity, of my previous crimes of aggression, and I am ashamed of my country." Kobayashi Masao took out a paper crane from his pocket, "But I still love my country..."
He was a little distressed. "But I know that many people in China have been bewitched and deceived by imperialism, and they fanatically support this war."
He looked at the commander and said, "Sometimes I feel that all the Japanese deserve to die. It would be best if they all died."
"But I love my country and my compatriots." Kobayashi Masao showed a sad expression, "I feel terrified and sad about my extreme thoughts."
"This is exactly why we must eliminate Japanese imperialism and Japanese warlords. They have enslaved and controlled the Japanese people's minds, making them the devil's accomplices of imperialism." The New Fourth Army cadres around the commander said, "Only when the red flag flies on the top of Mount Fuji will it be the beginning of the new life of the Japanese people."
The commander glanced at the cadres around him. Ever since Comrade Liu Bo once said that the red flag should be flown high on the top of Mount Fuji, this sentence has been liked by many soldiers, and they say it all day long.
A New Fourth Army soldier who was practicing riding a rickshaw called out "Teacher Kobayashi". Kobayashi Masao bowed respectfully to the commander and then ran away.
A woman who looked like a reporter with a camera hanging around her neck pressed the shutter button not far away.
The Japanese defectors in New Fourth Army uniforms were teaching the New Fourth Army soldiers wearing captured Japanese army coats how to ride bicycles. He thought the scene was very interesting.
"Go and ask that comrade to hand over the film." A New Fourth Army officer who had been watching this scene quietly said not far away.
"Yes!" A soldier saluted and ran over to ask for the film.
"Secretary Fang, why?" asked the comrade next to the New Fourth Army officer.
"Once such photos are circulated, they will be used by the reactionaries. They will not care about the truth of the matter. They will only do their best to spread rumors and discredit us in every possible way." Fang Muheng said with a serious expression, "We may not even be able to defend ourselves against such rumors."
