The country is broken

"Is this gentleman going to stay in the store?!" An old man in the store, who was sitting lazily on the teacher's chair with a cattail fan, saw someone coming in, and quickly stood up to greet him.

"Well! Stay in the hotel! Six people, three rooms!" Li Wei walked to the counter. This is the contact point of the Zhao family, and there is no need for the fake housekeeper Ding Heyang to come forward to make arrangements.

Li Wei took out a dozen silver dollars and said, "This is the rent paid in advance!" He said and put the silver dollars on the counter.

"Okay, uh!" Just as the old shopkeeper was about to stretch out his hand to count the silver dollars, he suddenly found that one of the silver dollars was only half a silver dollar. He took out a silver dollar from the front of his shirt, which was half of it. He put it on the counter and moved it lightly. It happened to fit the half of the silver dollar that Li Wei grabbed out. The two halves are now coming together.

The old shopkeeper didn't look at Li Wei and his party any more, and after counting the other silver dollars, he shouted towards the aisle door next door: "Yes! Xiaohu took these guests to the three rooms of Chen, Wei, and Geng. "Only Li Wei saw the old shopkeeper quietly holding the combined silver dollar in his palm. [

"Here we come!" A shop boy in a white sweat coat rushed out from the aisle, walked up to Li Wei and the others, stretched his hand towards the aisle, and said, "Everyone, please follow me."

Although this small inn is not big, there are quite a lot of guests in it, girls leaning on the door and winking, gangsters with their faces open, and people of all kinds from all walks of life, taking advantage of the flames of war, everywhere Find some opportunities to earn money for a meal.

"Sir, do you need some fun?!" A gorgeously dressed woman suddenly came out of a room next to the aisle, poised her head in a seductive look, and stopped in front of Ding Heyang who was behind the shop assistant.

Ding Heyang, who can be regarded as a member of the Communist Party, is a hero who is sad and beautiful. He has never seen this kind of battle, and his face turned green. He backed away in fright, and waved his hands desperately: "No, no, I don't want to have fun." For fear of retreating Slow down, I was eaten by the tigress in front of me.

Ding Heyang retreated behind Li Wei with no sense of loyalty. He really didn't know where his aura of taking the lead when he usually shouted slogans to charge forward was clearly a bad act of betraying his comrades.

Seeing Ding Heyang retreat as if he had seen a ghost, the woman turned her attention to Li Wei, who was the first to bear the brunt.Waving the handkerchief, he said with a charming smile, "You handsome little brother, are you interested in playing with my sister?! My sister doesn't charge you."

As soon as these words came out, not only Ding Heyang, but also the faces of the four soldiers behind Li Wei changed, good guy, stick up.

Li Wei looked up and down as if he was looking at something, and the woman's heart grew hairy when he saw it, and finally shook his head and said: "Yeah! She looks seventy percent, and her bust is eighty percent. The shape is not good. The waist is forty percent." , I’ve lost weight, and my hips are 65. Forget about my age, I’m older than me, I’m not obsessed with sisters, and my overall score is [-]! Tsk tsk! The looks are average, and they don’t suit my taste!”

Ding Heyang and the four fighters collectively rolled their eyes. They were really defeated by Li Wei. Xiao Lizi is really a master who doesn't like oil and salt. I really don't know what he is pretending to be in his head? !

People from several nearby rooms looked around the door, looking like they wanted to laugh but didn't want to.

The woman opened her mouth, and the seductive words that made her blush below were blocked by Li Wei's words.The flirtatious expression was a little frozen, and her face turned from white to red, and she was angry. It was the first time she was criticized so completely, she pointed at the tip of Li Wei's nose with her hips on her hips, and scolded: "You little brat, you're going to die!" ah!"

Li Wei was a little stunned. This woman really has a talent for snarling, a string of rapid curses without repetition, much more ferocious than the rapid fire of the Maxim heavy machine gun.

"Ugh..."

Suddenly there was a long and shrill cry from outside, and the faces of all the people in the inn changed. The woman stopped her mouth immediately, turned around and hid in the room, closing the door firmly, while the surrounding people watching The others retreated into the room in the same panic.

"What's wrong?!" Ding Heyang was a little surprised by the reactions of these people.

"Air strike!" Li Wei and the store clerk said in unison, and before they finished speaking, there was a loud explosion, and the ground shook slightly.

"Guests, please don't be afraid! Bombing is common here. Our location is relatively remote, and it's not worth the bombing by the Japanese. Please don't panic. Let's go to the guest room and rest!" It seems that I have experienced such things many times, and I am used to it.

And outside there was another loud noise and the ground trembled. It seemed that a bomb dropped by an enemy plane was getting closer. There were even some rubble bouncing on the roof, which turned out to be buildings blown away in the distance. Fragments flew down.

There was an unusually loud machine gun in the city. It should be that the anti-aircraft anti-aircraft machine guns were attacking the Japanese planes in the air raid. The air raid sirens were screaming desperately, making people feel faintly that a bomb would fall on their heads at any time. [

In the base areas of the CCP, there are not too many Japanese air raids. The Japanese don’t spend so much money to throw bombs on the fields. Moreover, the CCP’s armed forces are scattered, and there are not many targets worth bombing. There are very few air raid sirens except for important departments. There are settings. Usually, most units don't even have anti-aircraft weapons, so Ding Heyang can't react to the air defense alarms in Xinxiang County for a while, but Li Wei has watched a lot of TVs like this in modern times.

The roar of the propellers of the Japanese fighter planes could be clearly heard, and the sound of machine guns on the ground and in the air could be heard endlessly. The sound of the machine guns was silent. It can be imagined that the soldiers of the national army who were still fighting back just now were all killed.

In the county town, there is almost no counter-air gunfire anymore. Whether it is the CCP or the national army, without the support of anti-aircraft weapons, ordinary combat units will not fire into the air, so as not to provoke the Japanese fighter jets to retaliate and expose. It is the consensus of both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to prevent greater casualties.

Only now did Li Wei and the others understand that when the air raid siren sounded, the people in the inn did not escape outside the house to hide, but instead hid in the house. There were only a few of them, but the machine guns fired by the Japanese fighter planes at low altitudes would sweep at anyone they saw, and there was a wall inside the house as a cover, but if they ran outside the house, they would be live targets for the Japanese fighter planes.

As the unique roar of propellers in the sky gradually disappeared, the Japanese fighter planes that had been raging over Xinxiang County for a long time flew away. The air raid siren sounded for a long time before it fell silent. On the streets of Xinxiang County, people appeared again. Except for the bombed houses that were still burning, nearby residents and passing soldiers and civilians spontaneously excavated the ruins and searched for survivors. Other places in the county still continued their livelihood activities before the bombing. No matter how fierce the devils are, life still has to go on.

"It doesn't seem to be safe here!" Ding Heyang, who was sitting in the room avoiding Japanese fighter jets, patted his chest with some lingering fear. Bombing, or hiding in the wilderness, you can't even find a shadow, unlike being trapped in a county town full of houses, blowing up bricks to the sky can kill people half to death. "Be careful!" Li Wei sipped his saliva, life and death are at stake, throwing the bomb down, hiding is useless.

Tuk Tuk! ~

There was a knock on the door of the room.

"Who?" Li Wei went to open the door, but saw the store clerk Xiaohu standing at the door, holding a tray with teapots and cups on it.

"I brought the tea." The store clerk Xiaohu looked very humble.

"Come in!" Li Wei nodded and asked the shop assistant to bring in the tea.

The clerk quickly put the teapot and teacups on the table in the room, then turned around and left the room.

"What is this?!" Ding Heyang found a letter under the teapot on the table, which should have been put down by the guy just now. It seems that not only the old shopkeeper in this store is from the Zhao family, but even this guy is also.

"Li Wei, it's a letter for you!" Ding Heyang picked up the teapot to read the words on the envelope, and handed it to Li Wei.

Li Wei took the letter, and on the envelope was written "Mr. Li Wei himself".

"What's written in the letter?!" Ding Heyang walked to the door and closed the door without any suspicious figures wandering outside.

"Dinner has been settled, and someone invited us to a big meal at the Yingke Building in the south of the city." Li Wei glanced at the letter he took out and said, it didn't say who invited such a meal for nothing, but Xinxiang County should There is no acquaintance of Li Wei, probably the next contact person of the Zhao family, otherwise the store clerk would not be so secretive to deliver the letter, the Zhao family also attaches great importance to this connection, and communicates layer by layer to avoid being wiped out by the enemy.

"Well! Tonight I will take Lin Cheng and Guo Sanwu with you, and Xiao Ma and Yan Bin will stay behind." Ding Heyang arranged the personnel to go.

After resting for an afternoon, at five o'clock, Li Wei, Ding Heyang and soldier Guo Sanwu left the inn. Lanterns were hung up everywhere in the street shops. Along the stone road, they found the restaurant in Yingkelou in the south of the city. , although it is in a war zone bombed by Japanese fighter planes, the business is still going on. Every table in the restaurant is full of people, and the business looks good.

Before Li Wei could open his mouth to ask, the waiter from the restaurant came out, bowed his body, and said, "Mr. Li Wei? Please follow me."

Li Wei and Ding Heyang looked at each other, and it seemed that their every move fell into the sight of each other.
