Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 37

Qian Xiaobao was lying in a ditch with two-foot-high corn seedlings on both sides with his hoe in his arms, sleeping soundly.The corn seedlings can just block the sun's exposure, making Qian Xiaobao sleep comfortably.

In his sleep, the rain suddenly poured down, and the raindrops kept falling on Qian Xiaobao's face.He hurriedly lowered his head, but the raindrops kept falling on his face!

Qian Xiaobao woke up suddenly and opened his eyes.He saw three heads looking down at him with smiles on top of his head.

They are the three brothers of Lao Gong's family!Especially the teenage Lao San who was dripping water on his face from a drinking gourd.

The dawn is very early in the Northeast.It was already dawn at three or four o'clock in the morning.Whenever this time, Kono Harue called Qian Xiaobao up and asked him to go to work in the field.

Everyone in other people's family has already got up to work. If he is still asleep, isn't he revealing his identity?

Whenever this time, Qian Xiaobao gritted his teeth with hatred.Life is worse than death this day!

But when he carried the hoe to the field, he could always see that the three brothers from the Gong family not far away had already shoveled a ridge hundreds of meters long.

Even Qian Xiaobao couldn't help admiring the diligence and ability of these farmers.

Because of waking him up from his sleep, Qian Xiaobao was about to scold someone, but he saw the salesman who just came last month boldly passed by a small road more than 100 meters away and walked towards the village.

"It's not enough to grind shoe soles in a village of four or five families," said the third child of the Gong family.

The three of them didn't pay attention, Qian Xiaobao's face was already gloomy.

The salesman came here to tell Jiang the first sentence: "The superior told you that a batch of important things must be transported from the other side of the river. You will be asked to pick them up at the specified time."

"Didn't you tell your superiors that this place is being watched by the Japanese?" Old Jiangtou asked.

"No way. These things are very urgent," replied the salesman.

After explaining the task, the salesman carried the burden and walked on the narrow path lined with weeds on both sides.

A man was lying on the path with his head resting on a hoe.

The salesman approached and took a closer look at the man's face, and said in surprise, "It's you! You escaped too!"

He was one of the two people rescued by Qian Xiaobao in Xilin River, a tall man.

Qian Xiaobao pointed to his head and said, "At that time, the machine gun bullets were two fingers lower, and my brain would burst!"

But the salesman became vigilant immediately after the surprise.

The two met in Dongning's Xilin River three months ago, why did they meet again in a small village with only four or five families?

This is too coincidental, right?

"In the past two months, have you been to this small village of four or five families two or three times? You are walking too often. You can tell that something is wrong with you. Don't come here again!" Qian Xiao Bao said.

He decided to remind the big man on the opposite side regardless of his own safety.

Of course the big man understood what Qian Xiaobao said.He nodded towards Qian Xiaobao and wanted to walk past him.

"I remember that there were two of you in Xilin River. How about the other one?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

The big man stopped and replied calmly: "Dead. At that time, he was shot in the leg and the wound was not serious. But the weather was too cold, and there was no food. What's more, there was no medicine. He got infected the next day. Inflamed. After seven or eight days, he died, and I watched him die."

After saying this, the big man strode away carrying the burden.

When the next day was dawn, Harue Kono called Qian Xiaobao up again.

But this time, instead of letting Qian Xiaobao carry a hoe to work, she gave him a note.

"Go to Xiaojiahe and buy a bottle of kerosene right away. The window paper has also been changed, buy some more window paper." Kono Harue said loudly.

She speaks like this for others to hear.

"Go to Xiaojiahe to find the person you have met, and give him the note. Hurry up and come back before dark." Kono Harue whispered.

From here to Xiaojiahe, it takes seventy or eighty miles to go back and forth, and the road is difficult to walk, and it really takes a day to walk.

Qian Xiaobao took the note and took the money from Harue Kono and set off on the road.

Harue Kono seemed to be sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.She's confident in her disguise lurking.She has only lived in Japan for more than ten years, but has lived in China for more than 40 years.

No one can see through her identity.

Besides, if something happened to her, Qian Xiaobao would definitely be involved.Regardless of whether it was his cause or not, he would surely die.And not only did he die alone, but he also dragged a group of people along to be buried with him.

When it is not raining, there are blisters of different sizes within dozens of miles on both sides of the Wusuli River.After the heavy rain, the river stretched and connected all the bubbles into a large expanse of whiteness.

Qian Xiaobao is now walking on the muddy road between the water bubbles.

May is the season of courtship for toads.A layer of toads were floating in the bubbles, croaking one after another.

"Stop yelling! Don't worry! If you yell again, I'll fish you all out and fry them!" Qian Xiaobao said.

Qian Xiaobao looked around and no one took out the note that Harue Kono had given him and opened it for a closer look.

But the note is neither Chinese characters nor Japanese, but a large string of Arabic numerals.

Harue Kono knew that Qian Xiaobao could neither read Chinese characters nor Japanese, but she still wrote the password just to be on the safe side.

"What is this? It's similar to Aunt Toad." Qian Xiaobao said puzzled.

The farther you go west from the Ussuri River, the drier the road, the better.

Qian Xiaobao arrived at Xiaojiahe at noon.

As soon as he entered Xiaojiahe, he was seen by people from the Japanese intelligence point headed by Xiaoxi.

Qian Xiaobao first went to buy a bottle of kerosene and a bundle of window paper.After shopping, he went to meet Xiaoxi.

After taking the note, Xiaoxi read it carefully, nodded to Qian Xiaobao and said, "Understood, you can go back now."

Qian Xiaobao didn't turn around and leave immediately.He said to Xiaoxi: "Our old lady told you to hurry up."

Xiaoxi froze for a moment.It was the first time he heard people say the term our old lady.Qian Xiaobao's words revealed his closeness to Harue Kono.

"I will mobilize people as soon as possible to ambush near Xitong and wait for senior's next instructions." Xiaoxi said to Qian Xiaobao.

Sure enough, Konishi is still inexperienced as Harue Kono said.Qian Xiaobao let Xiao Xi bleed out with just one sentence.

Qian Xiaobao turned around and walked back.

On the way back, Qian Xiaobao accelerated his speed.Only in this way can Kono Harue see that he is serious and diligent in his work.

When the sun was setting, Qian Xiaobao rushed back to the village.

Kono Harue is squatting in front of the stove and cooking like an ordinary northeastern rural lady.

"Are you back? Everything is done? He didn't say anything to you?" Kono Harue asked with something in his words.

"No!" Qian Xiaobao replied.
