Chapter 99, the joint of the vinegar shop
Three days ago.
On Chengguan Avenue in Chengxian County, there were once bustling streets, pedestrians came and went in a hurry, and the streets were very depressed.
However, all the shops on the street were open.
A customer wearing a long gown came to the vinegar shop.
He looked at the furnishings in the house, with large vinegar jars on the ground, and there were vinegar bottles of different sizes on the shelves behind him.
Seeing that the guy was dozing off, he felt a little confused in his heart. Isn’t it wrong? Is this the place for the joint?
Dongdongdongdongdong, knocked on the counter with knuckles,
The guy woke up rubbing his eyes and defended himself: "Shopkeeper, I haven't slept, who made my eyes small and narrowed!"
The guest wearing a long gown looked at it and found that it was indeed a small eye, with a slit up and down the eyelids.
"Interesting, why are you asleep? Are you not afraid of delaying your business?"
It's not the shopkeeper, the guy woke up and didn't say anything about Qingmeng when he was disturbed. He was also startled.
He looked at the stranger's guests, like a foreign merchant in a long gown, not a traitor or something.
He speaks without any scruples.
"You really know how to say, you should ask if there will be business?
The county towns were all martial law, and there were no people on the streets.
Whose business do you do? The Japanese don’t drink jealousy. Besides, they don’t give money.”
The guy was full of complaints, and it was true.
The county town has been martial law and it is too late for the people to stay at home to avoid disaster. Why do you dare to go out to the streets?
The guest wearing a long gown was curious, "Since there is no business, why not close the door?"
"Close the door, we want to do it too!"
The guy pointed to the street outside: "I should have seen it before the guests came, and the shops on the street were all open.
In these days, money is hard to make, and everyone is already desperate to close the door.
But the Japanese don't allow it. They say that they must ensure the prosperity of the streets, and they must not be worse than before.
I want to close the door, but no way.
What can I do? I can only force myself to do it."
***** This is the law of common prosperity, and the Japanese really can gild themselves on their faces.
My heart is dark, my methods are dirty, and my skin is thrown into the ditch.
The guest wearing a long gown thought in anger that there was another reason to drive away the invaders.
"Guest, are you here to buy jealous?" the guy asked.
"Buy vinegar, you have to first see if your vinegar is authentic. Is your vinegar from the Wang family or the Du family?"
As soon as the guest in the long gown finished speaking, the guy with a titty eyes seemed to have been in a clockwork and immediately became energetic.
"The guests are very aware of the goods! Our vinegar is the vinegar of the Du family. You can find out if you come and try it with two pounds."
"Du Kang wine, Du Kang vinegar, then two pounds."
After answering the code words, the guest in the long garment whispered: "I want to see your shopkeeper."
The guy lifted the curtain and invited him in.
There is a stronger vinegar smell inside.
He couldn't help but think that the underground party here is indeed very regional. He opened a vinegar shop as a cover, and even the secret code also brought the allusion of vinegar.
It's really interesting.
The shopkeeper is a round middle-aged man, which is very consistent with people's impression of the old rich man in Shanxi.
Holding his hand, he enthusiastically called him: "Comrade Rock, thank you for your hard work."
"Everything is for the great cause of anti-Japanese war, so how can you talk about the word "hard work"?"
After the greetings, the two sat down around a square table.
When talking about serious matters, Chen Yanshi's face showed a solemn look, "Now, the Japanese are allowed to enter and leave martial law, and the medicine is in the city, and sooner or later they will be searched by the enemy.
Comrade Liu, before coming, I heard No. 4 say that your underground party along the city has developed well, and the entire county has penetrated into a sieve.
He asked me to come to you if I have any difficulties and said you must have a solution."
Lao Liu wiped the hot sweat from his head with a handkerchief and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "No. 4 is really arrogant to us. If it is a normal thing, you can think of a way.
Those two trucks of medicines are simply impossible to take them out of the city without knowing it.”
?"What?"
Chen Yanshi's brows frowned into the character "Chuan", and a hint of anger appeared on his face. In his opinion, the other party was obviously ruling.
The underground party in Yancheng County who can get the No. 4 praise must be unique in one aspect.
Who would believe that they had no choice?
"You have to know that these drugs can save thousands of wounded people, and their value is immeasurable.
Not to mention sacrificing one or two people, even if we all sacrificed, we must transport them to the base."
Chen Yanshi stared at Lao Liu's eyes contemptuously: "Are you afraid?"
If an underground network can be organized under the enemy's nose, the person must be experienced, firm in his beliefs, and fearless of death.
Lao Liu put his hand on the table, like a lion, glaring back without showing any weakness.
"It's easy to die, it's much easier than living terrified every day. I just don't want to make unnecessary sacrifices."
Some of them are top secret information, which Lao Liu could not have taken out.
For example, the underground party in Yancheng County can often hear information from the Japanese army, not because they are so powerful.
But because the head of the Japanese intelligence section of Yanche Prefecture, Major Matsumoto, was working tacitly with them.
It sounds incredible, right?
But this is true.
The Japanese wife was once captured and later returned, successfully convinced Major Matsumoto.
This person is a Japanese who is greedy for life and afraid of death and is devoted to making money.
The purpose of being willing to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army is to avoid being targeted by the Eighth Route Army.
The underground party in Yancheng County has developed rapidly and has frequent activities, which cannot be separated from this person's release.
If it is a common thing, turn a blind eye and pass it. But these are two major cars of Western medicine, and everyone from Taiyuan Special High-tech came to smell it.
Matsumoto would never risk his life to help the underground party.
Even Lao Liu was worried that this person would betray them.
We must look at the problem from a development perspective and not betrayal, it is just that the betrayal is not enough.
You can't expect a greedy Japanese to work with you sincerely.
There was a silence in the room for a while.
Chen Yanshi couldn't help but break the silence, "You must find a way. We can't afford to lose this batch of medicines.
Moreover, we have sacrificed several comrades for this, and you cannot let their blood flow in vain."
In this land, as an outsider, he had no choice but to fight his life.
Only local underground parties can strive for a front-line opportunity based on their understanding of the local situation.
Faced with impolite verbal coercion, Lao Liu was also very annoyed. Do you think that if you are not afraid of sacrifice, others are cowardly?
But there is really no way.
The two cars of medicine have too big targets and too high value, so the enemy bites it so much that they die.
Unless he can make a trick, it is impossible for him to take medicine out of the city.
It can be said that it is more difficult to bring these two cars of medicine out than to bring two living people out.
Things must be done, and difficulties must not be solved.
Lao Liu suppressed his anger and tried to say in a calm tone: "This way, I will report the whole thing to my superiors, maybe they will have a solution."
It is simply a sign of incompetence to push everything to your superiors.
I don't know how to achieve this position?
Lao Liu's repeated refusal made Chen Yanshi underestimate him.
A trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he stood up and said, "Okay, the time is about the same. If you stay there, it will make people suspicious. Let's contact you again."
