Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2609 Crazy Qi returns!

The next day, Lijiatun!

"Have you heard? Captain Qi, the soldier who fought the devils and died heroically, he's back!"

Under the old elm tree in the village, Old Man Wang and several other elderly people in the village asked in low voices.

But it was not difficult to see his excitement. When he mentioned that Captain Qi Dabing had returned, his voice was trembling.

"Old Wang, where did you hear this nonsense? The Anti-Japanese Brigade is gone, and Captain Qi has been missing for more than a year. How could he come back?"

A woman of the same age, knitting a sweater, shook her head disapprovingly. But after shaking her head, she looked towards the village entrance, obviously hoping that the news was true.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, another woman said, "Aunt Li, this may be true. My kid came back last night and said: This is incredible, the once powerful Qi madman is back again. I'm afraid their days will be difficult.

The others were more convinced by the woman's words because her son used to be a gangster and later seemed to have become a bandit.

Everyone in the village knew about it, but they didn't exclude each other. In this chaotic world, being alive is a luxury, so who cares if you are a bandit or not?

What's more, the child didn't bring bandits to harm the village, so no one would interfere.

So after hearing what the woman said, many people believed that Captain Qi had returned.

At this time, most people were laughing, because if that crazy Qi came back, the Japanese would have a good time.

But some people were also worried, because Crazy Qi was a legendary figure in the Laoyeling area. After hearing Crazy Qi's name, many young men became extremely excited and wanted to take up guns to shoot the Japanese.

But the Japanese were not so easy to defeat. No one knows how many people died during those three years.

Therefore, old men or women who have young people at home are a little worried.

But at the same time, there were many people who were more worried than them, namely the bandits.

To the northeast of Phoenix Mountain, inside Crouching Tiger Mountain, is a bandit stronghold.

"Oh, if the news that Crazy Qi is back from the dead is true, our future life will be difficult."

A middle-aged man with a dark complexion and wearing a black coat muttered to himself.

He was a bandit from Crouching Tiger Mountain. Although he was just a minor character, he was still worried when he heard the news that Qi Dabing had come back from the dead.

Another skinny bandit glanced around, but seeing no new faces, he chimed in, "Although I've never seen Qi Dabing in person, everything he did in Laoyeling was horrifying. His reckless ruthlessness was a headache for even the Japanese, let alone us."

"you do not say!"

A skinny old man nearby joined in the conversation. Although he was just a cook in the bandit’s stronghold, he also looked worried.

Even though he was a cook, he was still a bandit. If that crazy Qi wanted to wipe out the bandits, he felt that he would not be able to escape.

Another older bandit also said, "During the more than a year since Crazy Qi disappeared, we brothers have been able to take a break. But if Crazy Qi comes back, the world will probably be in turmoil again."

"I'm not worried that he will cause trouble for us." Another younger bandit interrupted, seeming quite confident: "That madman Qi is fighting the Japanese. Although we are not doing real work, we have never cheated the villagers. Besides, we can also help him secretly. If he really becomes powerful one day, we will have a backer, right?"

"Huh, you're just wishful thinking."

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, and then said, "Crazy Qi has a bad temper and can't tolerate any sand in his eyes. If he knew what you and I did in the past, I'm afraid you would be the first one he wouldn't let go. When the time comes, don't blame me for not reminding you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn. Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent, each thinking about something in their mind.

"but."

After a moment of silence, the skinny old man said, "But." Then he sorted out his thoughts and continued, "But, we have to make preparations. If Crazy Qi really comes back, whether he wants to seek revenge on the devils or regroup to fight against the Japanese, we have to have an attitude. At least, we can't cause trouble for the villagers, and we can't do anything to help the tyrants."

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this. Although they might do some illegal things on weekdays, they still had a sense of justice when it came to major issues.

For a moment, the atmosphere in this small circle became subtle and complicated. There was fear about the future, but also a vague expectation for the hero's return.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps approached from afar, interrupting their discussion. A young man ran over in a hurry, his face pale and panting: "Quick, quick, the news is confirmed, Qi, Crazy Qi, ... he is really back! He brought a group of people with him, and it is said that he is in the Phoenix Mountain area!"

When these words came out, everyone's heart was shocked. There was no need to guess anymore, because that crazy Qi was really back.

At the same time, at the Hukou outpost, which was closest to Laoyeling, news that Qi Dabing was not dead began to spread.

Inside the Hukou outpost, a group of puppet soldiers sat around a dim oil lamp. The shadows on their faces flickered with the flickering flames, and everyone's eyes revealed panic and fear that were difficult to conceal.

Because the name of that crazy Qi appeared again after disappearing for more than a year.

"Have you heard? The news has spread over Laoyeling. Crazy Qi is not dead. He has been developing secretly and has formed a new team!"

A puppet soldier with a face full of flesh lowered his voice. He seemed to be strong and fierce, but at this moment there was a slight tremor in his voice, as if he was telling a story of horror.

"How is this possible? Wasn't he killed by the Imperial Army?"

The other puppet soldier looked at the puppet soldier with a face full of flesh in shock.

"God knows what happened, but the fact is that he is not only alive, but also with a terrible army, just like before. No, stronger than before!"

The puppet soldier with a face full of flesh said it with great certainty, instantly casting a layer of gloom over the small space.

Fear spread like a plague in the outpost. Those traitors who usually oppressed the people and helped the evildoers all had grim expressions on their faces.

They knew Crazy Qi better than anyone else. Not to mention the Japanese lackeys, even the Japanese soldiers would be so scared that they couldn't sleep at night when they heard Crazy Qi's name.

Moreover, the Hukou outpost is so close to Laoyeling, and it is obvious that it won’t be long before that crazy Qi comes to settle accounts with them!
