Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 111 Group Tribe II

The Japanese have many considerations in bringing together the common people who are scattered everywhere.

Centralized for easy monitoring and care.Prevent the common people from sending food and clothing to the Anti-Japanese Federation in the mountains.

Also, now that the Japanese are fighting in the south, the demand for military rations is increasing.Centralized management facilitates the extraction of food from the common people.

Third, the Japanese are now building fortifications everywhere.Centralized management can force a large number of ordinary people to serve the Japanese as cows and horses at any time.

The distance of more than ten miles was quickly reached under Qian Xiaobao's feet.

The Maqiao River was in front of him, but Qian Xiaobao's footsteps stopped.

In February, when Qian Xiaobao went to see Second Master Qi, he passed by the Maqiao River.But now he couldn't recognize Maqiao River at all.

What Qian Xiaobao saw was a two-meter-high fence and three barbed wire stretched on it.

A trench more than four meters wide was dug outside the wall, watchtowers were built at the four corners, and there was only a small wooden bridge at the gate.

Outside the wooden gate stood a man in his 20s holding a water rifle.

"What?"

The young man who looked at Qian Xiaobao with squinting eyes from a long distance shouted.

"I'm here to find someone. Does Second Master Qi live here?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"Looking for someone? What do you do?" The young man asked back with squinting eyes.

Qian Xiaobao was very upset.It seemed that the person on the opposite side wanted to question the eighteenth generation of his ancestors before telling him if Second Master Qi was here.

"What I do is none of your business! Just tell me if Second Master Qi lives here!" Qian Xiaobao said angrily.

People who dare to lose their temper when they see someone with a gun must have a background.

The person guarding the gate immediately softened his attitude.

"It's okay to find someone, but first you need to check the good citizen certificate." The young man said.

Qian Xiaobao reached out and took out his ID from the Security Bureau and handed it over.

The young man took the certificate and looked at it again and again, saying: "Is your good citizen certificate newly issued? Why is it different from ours? Go in."

Qian Xiaobao looked at the young man who looked at him sideways in surprise, and it took him a long time to realize that the man could not read at all and was just pretending.

He put the papers back into his pocket and walked through the gate.

The houses inside the walls must have been carefully measured.Although they are all squat thatched cottages, they are as neat as if they were drawn with lines.

There are ten rooms in a row, and four rows of thatched houses are surrounded by walls.There are three tall and bright brick houses built with blue bricks under the wall.

"Brother Little Treasure!"

While Qian Xiaobao was still in a daze, a half-grown child ran towards him.

"Bao Cai, is my second master here?" Qian Xiaobao asked in surprise.

The child running towards him is Erya's younger brother Baocai.

Baocai ran over and grabbed his hand tightly and pulled him towards the thatched house.

Qian Xiaobao felt strange.In the past, Bao Cai saw that he had never been so affectionate before.

"Second Grandpa lives in my house alone." Baocai said.He saw Qian Xiaobao's appearance as if he saw a life-saving straw.

Pulling Qian Xiaobao to the outside of a thatched hut, Bao Cai jumped in from the door with a plop.

That's right, Baocai did jump into the house.

The thatched house first dug a one-meter-deep hole in the ground, and then built a one-meter-high wall around it.Finally, put a herringbone frame on the wall and cover it with thatch.

Building a house in this way saves trouble and materials, but the inside of the house is dark and damp.

Qian Xiaobao jumped in without taking the short steps.All of a sudden, there was darkness in front of his eyes.

In the darkness, Qian Xiaobao heard a familiar voice: "Why are you here?"

This is the voice of Second Master Qi.

Qian Xiaobao said to the direction of the voice like a blind man: "I just have time, so I'll come to see you. It took me a long time to find out that you live here."

After slowly adapting to the dark environment, Qian Xiaobao saw the hunched figure of Second Master Qi.

Qian Xiaobao felt a little sad, seeing Second Master Qi like this now seemed to see himself decades later.

"When did you move here? Erya cooks for you now?" Qian Xiaobao asked with a sob.

"Let's talk in the house. Treasure is on fire, your father and mother are coming back from the field soon." Second Master Qi said.

Qian Xiaobao fumbled and followed Second Master Qi from the outer room into the inner room.

"It's been four months since I moved here. It's just the time for planting in spring." Second Master Qi said while sitting on the kang.

"The Japanese said that they would return to the village and build the group tribe. They only gave ten days, and anyone who didn't move would just rip up the house and arrest them." Second Master Qi continued.

"When I came in, I saw that there was a guard at the gate, checking the certificate of good citizenship. That kid always looked at me sideways, and he was not a good thing!" Qian Xiaobao said.

"That's a member of the self-defense regiment newly established by the Japanese. When they heard that a self-defense regiment was to be formed, the local hooligans in Muling were very happy! Now we are under their care. The person who squinted at you is called Sun Waiping, He was born with a crooked neck, so he always looks at people sideways. He is considered good among these people." Second Master Qi explained.

"You live with Lin Changling's family, so where did their family go?" Qian Xiaobao asked strangely.

"Lin Changlin and the others have gone to work in the fields. Erya - already married. Lin Changlin's old lady was taken away by the Japanese." Second Master Qi said hesitantly.

Qian Xiaobao was tongue-tied.He had just heard two news that surprised him.One is that Erya is married, and the other is that Erya's grandma, an old lady in her seventies, was captured by the Japanese!

"Is Er Ya married? Who is she married to?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

Originally, Qian Xiaobao had no intention of marrying Erya.But now when I heard that she was married, I immediately felt sour again.

"I heard that she married a tofu seller in Bamiantong. That person paid 200 yuan as a bride price." Second Master Qi replied.

Then Second Master Qi suddenly pulled Qian Xiaobao back and asked in a low voice: "How dare you come back! Since you have seen me, you should leave now before the members of the self-defense group come back!"

"What are you going for? Who dares to touch me!" Qian Xiaobao said.

Hearing Qian Xiaobao say that, Second Master Qi hesitated.Although Qian Xiaobao is young, he has never been a rash and reckless person.This kid has 180 minds.

"Erya's grandma almost lost all her teeth, how could she be taken away by the Japanese?" Qian Xiaobao asked curiously.

"When the Japanese and the police forced her to move, the old lady refused to move and even scolded the Japanese and the police. So she was taken as a thought criminal and sent to a correctional and counseling home." Qi Erye replied.

Those who dare to eat rice and white noodles are economic criminals.Those who spoke ill of the Japanese and Manchukuo officials and police were thought criminals.Those who committed minor crimes went to correctional counseling institutes for "correction counseling", and those who committed serious crimes went directly to prison.

This is the reality of Manchukuo.

　I want to say something about the update.It's really too slow.Mainly because there is one more book to finish.Try to finish writing within half a month.Then this will explode.To be honest, it's still about money.Writing two books at the same time is not full attendance.
