blood feud

Bai Shujie and the others had been waiting at the foot of the mountain for more than two hours, when a large group of torches suddenly appeared on the mountain winding their way.The leader was Zhao Sanbao, behind him were two middle-aged men, and behind them were a group of beggars in colorful clothes.Yes, all beggars!

"Report to the captain, our secret camp was occupied by them, and they called it an anti-Japanese beggar." After Zhao Sanbao saluted Bai Shujie, he stepped aside and let two big men introduce him: "This is Xianyu Tongwu, 34 years old this year. This one is Wan Yiwen, 31 years old this year. There is another one named Zhuang Xingguo, who did not come down because of inconvenient walking."

Bai Shujie was noncommittal, exchanged simple greetings with Xianyu Tongwu and Wan Yiwen, and then led a large army into the secret camp, and saw Wei Chong talking to a young man in a wheelchair, who should be Zhuang Xingguo.

After some introductions, Zhuang Xingguo, who was sitting in a wheelchair, finally spoke.

In the summer of the 12th year of the Republic of China (1923), 19 people, including Xianyu Tongwu, Wan Yiwen, and Zhuang Xingguo, risked their lives and escaped from the Qianjinzhai coal mine.As a result, as soon as the wire was pulled out, it was discovered by a few small hands.Afterwards, dozens of little devil patrolmen and big and small heads chased desperately, and they were finally forced to the edge of the cliff.

All the people were unwilling to go back to the coal mine, so they all chose to jump off the cliff.Sixteen of them fell to their deaths on the spot, only Shaoyu Tongwu, Wan Yiwen and Zhuang Xingguo were still alive.

When they fell to the bottom of the valley, a group of little beggars happened to pass by, so they carried the three of them out.Go back to a ruined temple in Liuhezi, which is the base camp of the little beggar.Among them was an old beggar who was also a laborer who escaped 15 years ago.When I was a child, I learned a little Chinese medicine from my grandfather, and finally saved these three people.

Xianyu Tongwu and Wan Yiwen are both from Cangzhou, Hebei. They have a foundation in martial arts since childhood, and their vitality is more vigorous and tenacious than ordinary people.After being recuperated by the old beggar, he recovered as before.However, because of his serious injuries, Zhuang Xingguo fell into a high paraplegia and lost consciousness below the waist.

However, Zhuang Xingguo is a student of Fengtian, and he is ingenious.Although he is half paralyzed, he made a hand wheelchair from the scrap wheels collected by beggars.In this way, Xianyu Tongwu, Wan Yiwen, and Zhuang Xingguo became members of the group of beggars.

After the old beggar died, Xianyu Tongwu, Wan Yiwen and Zhuang Xingguo became the head of the family, continuing to lead more than 30 little beggars.After the September [-]th Incident, the entire South Manchuria fell.The little devil occupied Benxi and established various maintenance associations, and the life of a beggar was almost too difficult.

Beginning last year, the little devil asked the puppet Manchukuo to come forward to carry out "tax reform", which immediately "created" a large number of beggars.Xianyu Tongwu and his gang of beggars are relatively united, and there are more people who seek refuge.This time, more than 200 beggars have been added!In other words, there are more than 300 beggars in the Xionghailing secret camp.

Why does "tax reform" create beggars?It's a long story.

Because in addition to the "national tax" and "land tax" of the puppet Manchukuo, village membership fees, district membership fees, Xingnong membership fees, Xiehe volunteer service fees, and Ailu tour group fees are also collected.Local taxes and various apportioned taxes include land donations, business donations, miscellaneous donations, house donations, food, land, houses, and even birth, death, and raising and slaughtering livestock.Cars, horses, cattle, sheep, dogs, cats, chickens, and ducks in the home must be registered and paid taxes.

During festivals, red and white events, etc., taxes must also be paid, which is called banquet tax.According to the explanation of the maintenance meeting, if someone died in your family, you must invite others to dinner, so you have to pay "banquet tax"!As for whether you invite people to dinner, that is your own business, and the tax money cannot be less.

If someone dies in the family, the tax must be paid first, otherwise they cannot be buried!When Bai Shujie heard this, he almost fainted!

If you kill a pig, you will be charged 3.6 yuan; if you kill a chicken, you will be charged 1.2 yuan.Including women's haircut, the monthly tax is 4 cents; if you do a bun hairstyle, you have to pay 2 cents in tax.It's called a slaughter tax.

Women who cut their hair have to pay slaughter tax!This is really unseen and unheard of. Bai Shujie has been a man for two lives, and today is finally an eye-opener!The little devils plundered the Chinese people, and they were so vicious to such an extent that it would not be enough for the people to be angry if they didn't kill them!

Is it enough for the little devil to do this?No!Far from it!

The necessities of table salt are mandatory for the little devil to be a monopoly.But the purchase price they stipulated is 1 cent for 100 catties!But the little devil sells it exclusively, and it costs 6 yuan and 100 catties!One in and one out, the net profit is 600 times!

In other words, the workers in the saltworks had to hand in 600 catties of salt in exchange for 1 catty for their own use at home!If the salt worker took the salt home without permission, he would have to copy and chop the whole family!As a result, the salt workers in the salt field worked hard for a month, but they were not enough to get a catty of salt for the family, so they had to become beggars!

Before the little devil came in, those who were doing small businesses originally relied on selling tofu, vegetables, fish, and seasonal fruits to support their families.But as soon as the little devil came, he had to get a business license.Unified management of certificates is not wrong.The point is, a license actually costs 15 yuan for the license fee!

Many people cannot afford such an expensive license fee.But these businessmen have no land, so they can only become beggars!

Be a beggar?You are so beautiful!

If you want to beg legally, then go, get a permit quickly!A license costs 6 yuan!you have no moneyThat's even better, send the coal mine!

Calling every day should not be done, and the land is not working, these beggars have completely lost their way of life.Xianyu Tongwu, Wan Yiwen and Zhuang Xingguo combined together, they should change careers altogether!Since the little devil won't let us be beggars, then we won't be beggars.Directly change to become a robber, specializing in stealing things from little devils!

Are the little devil's things so easy to grab?As a result, more than 100 people were killed by the little devils. Later, they could not gain a foothold in the ruined temple, so they went to the mountains and forests.After making many turns and turns, they actually found the secret camp in Xionghai Ridge!

"Sir, we really have no other intentions, let alone the idea of ​​occupying the mountain and becoming a king." Zhuang Xingguo finally said: "These people really have no way out, and they are not the kind of lazy people. To be honest, they can Those who join our beggar village have all been investigated by us, and they are definitely legitimate sources."

Bai Shujie's chest was about to explode with anger, and there was not even half a word: "Brother, don't be nervous, we don't have to take back this secret camp when we come here. Since brothers need to settle down here, this place will be yours from now on. We Come here, mainly because there are graves of dozens of our brothers in the back mountain. They all died to kill the little devil, so come here to pay homage."

Zhuang Xingguo nodded and said: "We have all heard of the anti-rape team back then, and we really wanted to visit, but unfortunately we couldn't find the gate of the temple. Captain Wei has already introduced it just now. Please rest assured, sir. I will definitely take good care of it. If you violate this statement, the sky will be struck by lightning!"

Bai Shujie saw that most of the beggars were empty-handed, and he didn't know how they snatched the little devil, so he asked: "This place is very close to Benxi, brothers are all living in this generation, what weapons do they usually have? "

Xianyu Tongwu said in an interface: "We mainly take advantage of the cold to snatch the policemen who go out alone, and there are small groups of little devils alone. We have more than 240 people now, and the little devils have got more than [-] rifles. Not many bullets."

"Three Leopards, give them three boxes of [-]-type rifle bullets!" Bai Shujie pondered for a while, and then said: "Twenty or so rifles can deal with small situations, but it may not work. By the way, Liu Hezi What's going on here, do you know?"

"I know this!" Wan Yiwen interjected: "The little devil has a squad living there, mainly to protect the railway. By the way, he finds trouble with those who pass the railway, and they do all kinds of extortion. The key is that they have a machine gun, otherwise , we have already robbed them."

Bai Shujie immediately ordered: "Sanbao, take two groups and go out with these brothers, and move back all Liuhezi's things. Remember, those who maintain the association will also move back. There is no need to stay alive if you maintain the president. Just use the name of the Vengeance Team. There are still three hours before dawn, hurry up and come back!"

Zhao Sanbao took the people away, and the beggars had packed up the original barracks.Xiao Lamei and Wang Xinlan went in first, and communicated the situation on their side with Rehe.Then the other fighters rested separately, and there was no sign of nervousness about someone going out to make trouble.

Zhuang Xingguo saw Bai Shujie looking at the map like a normal person, so he asked worriedly: "Sir, I think there were twenty people who went out just now, can they beat a class of little devils? Although it is rare for Tong Wu and Wan Yiwen The two big brothers brought more than 100 brothers over, they were all fooling around, and they were useless."

Bai Shujie said without raising his head: "Brother Zhuang, there are at most 17 little devils in a class, one machine gun, one grenadier, and ten rifles. If they can't figure it out, then I can't blame me. As for your Brother, I asked them to carry things there, and I didn't ask them to fight with the little devils. I guess I took away the little devils and maintenance presidents of Liuhezi and Shilihe classes. Those things should let your The brothers will deal with it for a year and a half."

In fact, what he said in his heart was: The scouts selected by Laozi himself are all soldiers selected from tens of thousands of people.If you can't beat the little devil one-on-one, then it's a fart fight.Just buy a piece of tofu and kill yourself, out of sight, out of mind, don't be ashamed outside.

Hearing Bai Shujie's remarks, Zhuang Xingguo couldn't help but take a deep breath in his heart: "I thought they would just take down Liuhezi, but I didn't expect to take down Shilihe in a row. Thirty or forty vicious little Devil, is it really so easy to be taken down? Is it true that the rumor that the anti-rape team is all gods?"

Bai Shujie is very familiar with Liuhezi and Shilihe area.When the incident just started, he was very hungry for the first time, and he was blatantly robbing the little devil's arms train near here.Not just once, but three times before and after.There is only more than 40 kilometers away from Xionghai Ridge Secret Camp in a straight line.If all goes well, we should be able to return by noon tomorrow.

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
