Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 114 Don't laugh at Fengyue drama, don't laugh at people's absurdity

Huang Yourong's idea can be said to be the right medicine, because he heard a special news during the banquet.

Wang Taizhong is a fan of operas. Peking Opera, Henan Opera, Huangmei Opera, and Hebei Bangzi are his favorites. Almost as long as there are passing theater troupes, he will spend money to invite them.

Even those who don't cooperate and are unwilling to sing for Wang Village will be forced to come to this ghostly place for a day or two under coercion and lure.

In order to listen to the opera, this old man even specially set up a stage in the village.

During the conversation between the traitor father and son, the commander of the reconnaissance company heard something.That is, this devil, Muraomoto, also has a great interest in drama, and it can even be said to be quite researched.

This is very reasonable. In modern times, there are indeed many young people who like and know how to appreciate opera.Whenever a famous actor comes to perform, the newspapers will give a very high evaluation.

As a devil army commander who had attended military academy, although Katsuhisa Muramoto was not taken seriously in the First Army stationed in Shanxi, he didn't care about these things.

Compared with the war, this devil is more interested in the culture of the Republic of China.It's just that he doesn't respect culture, he just wants to plunder these cultures back to his native land.

When Muramoto Katsuhisa came into contact with the book "200 Years of Peking Opera" for the first time, he was immediately shocked.Every time Boss Mei was invited to perform at Little Days, he would spend a lot of money to get a ticket.

Originally, Wang Lu wanted to invite a well-known local theater troupe to sing in the village three days later. If he could please Murakami, his future career would definitely be brighter.

However, the class leader had some issues with the devil, so he refused to invite him no matter what. In desperation, the traitor had no choice but to give up this idea.

------------

In the county town, somewhere outside a crowded compound.

Guan Weimin, the commander of the investigation company, came here to investigate first. As the only theater troupe in the county, the information here is not a secret.

Many people know that this theater troupe has offended the ghosts in the county. In order to avoid suspicion, almost no one dares to come here for consumption, and even avoids it when passing by.

This is a fatal blow to a theater troupe, it can be said that it almost cut off their money.

Opera singers are also divided into three, six, and nine classes.

Take Boss Mei as an example, the characters go out and hug each other.Listening to a passage can make ordinary audiences show off for a lifetime, and the money earned in a play is almost beyond the reach of ordinary people in their lifetime.

But these are very few cases, and the vast majority of theatrical troupes are satisfied with enough food and clothing.

Just like the leader Li in this county, he is just an ordinary theater artist.

Set up a small team, earn a small amount of money, and have to go to any temple fair or festival.And if it is slow, there will be no business. If you sing today, there will be no tomorrow, and if you have the last meal, there will be no next meal.

After working hard all his life, he managed to save some family property, but the devils disappeared after they came.

Why does Boss Mei have the background to grow a beard?Because he is a famous actor, he can let a large group of people around him live comfortably without singing new plays.

The reason why he chose to hide is because Boss Mei has a certain social status. If he attends a few so-called "Great East Asia Co-Prosperity" activities, he can have enough appeal and shake the confidence of the anti-Japanese armed forces.

In a sense, he is more influential than Wang Wangwang.

But a small artist like Banzhu Li who runs around to earn a living is very miserable. In the troubled times, not many people have the spare money and energy to listen to the opera, and they have to do their best just to survive.

After Guan Weimin entered this large courtyard, he found that there was not even a single receptionist, as if no one existed.

It seemed that the people in the house heard the noise outside, and an old man with a beard came out from the innermost room.Judging from the wine bottle in his hand and bloodshot eyes, he must have not had a good rest for a while.

"There are no more performances here, and there will be no more in the future. Please come back."

After hearing these words, Guan Weimin did not leave, but turned around and closed the door.

Although the other party's actions surprised Leader Li, he didn't care.Ever since his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson were killed by devils, this old man has long wanted to seek death.

He just regrets it now, why he didn't have the courage to fight to the death.

As the commander of the investigation company of the Seventh Seventh Regiment, Guan Weimin has seen too many similar situations, and the look in his eyes made him both familiar and distressed.

"Leader Li, I am from the [-]nd Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. I came here uninvited today because I have something to talk to you about."

Facts have proved that the veteran's eyes are very vicious.The old man in front of him opened his eyes wide when he heard the word Eighth Route Army, and his lifeless body seemed to be rejuvenated.

He rushed to the door at an unbelievable speed, locked the door with a big lock and an iron chain, pulled Guan Weimin up and ran towards the back room.

Originally, Team Leader Li thought that he, who had sung for devils, was already considered a traitor in the eyes of outsiders.Unexpectedly, the Eighth Route Army came to him today, and things seemed to turn around a bit.

Although he lives in an enemy-occupied area, he still knows the reputation of the base area.

If it wasn't for a group of people who had to rely on the theater troupe for food at the beginning, troupe leader Li would have taken his family to join him, and he wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable end.

After entering the room, the old man immediately knelt down, grabbed the trouser legs of the soldier in front of him and said hoarsely:

"Comrade, you must help me! As long as you can avenge me, I can give you my old life!"

Seeing the other party almost collapsed, Guan Weimin first helped the other party up, and then remembered that the political commissar told him the difference between obedient people and traitors.

What is obedience.

Those who have always been ordinary people do small business, do some handicraft work, have never joined any D faction, and work hard every day to support their families.

When the devils came, they had nowhere to go, and the old and the young still had to earn money to eat.Those who have no choice but to be forced to accept the rule and have no ability to resist are called obedient people
What is a traitor.

The former z government or the middle and high level of the army and various celebrities have control of power and means of production.The small days have come to join the puppet government, sell information, and have people's blood on their hands.

Those who have the ability and obligation to defend their homes and the country, but choose to sell their ancestors for glory because they are greedy for life and fear of death are called traitors.

Ordinary people have to do their best to eat and eat, and they have done their duty by paying taxes and military rations.

But those high-level traitors only think of the people when they need cannon fodder, completely forgetting what their obligations are.

It was found that the Eighth Route Army in front did not speak immediately, but kept silent.Leader Li thought that the other party disliked him for having sung for devils, so he explained:

"If I had the choice, of course I wouldn't act for the little days. But surviving in troubled times is not easy. Since I have the ability to protect myself, there is no reason to ask for death, not to mention that my family was still in the hands of those beasts at that time."

"The gun is on the forehead. If I don't sing, I will die on the spot. Is there any loss to the country? Is it helpful to the country? In troubled times, human life is worthless. My life is insignificant to the country, but it is to me. Only once, is it wrong for me to cherish my life? Why can't I choose to live?"

"What kind of traitors and traitors are you talking about? I'm just an actor. I don't know a lot of Chinese characters. I just rely on some traditional crafts. I can only hope for weddings and funerals. What country can I sell? What do I know? Even if I said devil letter?"

When he said this, he picked up the wine on the table and took a sip, as if to give himself more courage.

"Ma Lianliang also sang operas for Xiaotian, and Hou Baolin also sang cross talk for the Japanese. Are they also traitors?"

"Give me a gun and a bomb now, and I dare to fight them!"

Ordinary people in this era have limited education and no sense of national righteousness. They often only have the kind of desperate blood when their relatives around them are persecuted.

And even if it is a soldier, is it still rare to surrender as a puppet army?
Looking at the excited leader Li in front of him, Guan Weimin said the second sentence after entering the room.

"Three days later, Katsuhisa Muramoto will go to Wang Village, and our regiment will attack there. If you are willing to help us"

This sentence was interrupted roughly, the other party stared at Guan Weimin with red eyes, every word seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth.

"You don't need to say it, the big deal is to die. I don't want to live without my family."

"I only have one request, I need your Eighth Route Army to provide me with bombs, the more the better."

Faced with this situation, Guan Weimin didn't answer immediately, but just poured a glass of water for the other party silently.

"Comrade, you drank too much. I'll come back tomorrow. I hope you can keep the matter of our meeting a secret."
