Chapter 1608: Matchmaking
The Japanese agents were so happy with this treatment that they couldn't stop smiling.
The old man's daughter stuffed the cloth shoes she made into the hand of a Japanese soldier.
The Japanese agent was so proud that he touched the girl's hand and said:
"Yoshi! Hello, Miss Hua."
The girl exclaimed, "You! You're a devil!"
"devil?!"
The villagers screamed and fled in all directions.
They never imagined that the ones who gave them such warm hospitality were actually the Japanese.
"Boom! Boom!"
Inukai Juichi took out his pistol, shot and wounded two civilians, and roared loudly:
"Massacre the village! Capture the flower girls for their work."
The Japanese agents laughed loudly and obscenely:
"Yoshi! Catch the flower girl."
The Japanese agents took out their pistols and shot at the civilians inhumanely.
Because pistols can shoot at a short distance, they chased the people like mad dogs.
The civilians could not outrun the Japanese agents, and they were shot and fell one after another.
The villagers' thatched huts were set on fire by the Japanese, and there were cries and shouts everywhere.
Inukai Jushi was extremely proud and shouted, "Quick! Kill all the old people and children, and capture the most beautiful flower girl for this captain."
"hiss--!"
Suddenly, the sound of war horses neighing came from the river bank on the west side.
Xiang Chu led more than 30 shadow spies and rushed here.
Inukai Juichi shouted loudly: "Everyone gather! Destroy the Chinese army."
The Japanese agents had no choice but to abandon the civilians and gathered at the village entrance.
The Japanese agent who had previously molested the girl suggested, "Captain! Our pistols are too close to fire. Let's run away quickly."
Inukai Jushi shouted angrily: "Baka! Ito Jushi! How can the imperial army escape? When two sides meet in a narrow road, the brave prevails! Follow me, the captain, and engage the enemy in secrecy. Only by destroying them can we survive and enjoy the beauty."
"Hello!"
The Japanese agents obeyed the order in unison.
Ito Jushi suggested: "Captain! We can shoot the horse first."
Inukai Juichi shouted, "Shoot your ass! They've all dismounted."
Ito Jushi scoffed, "The Chinese cavalry are still shooting at us. At such a long distance, can they hit us?"
Indeed, the national army in the distance had already dismounted in unison.
"Boom! Boom!"
Xiang Chu and others raised their guns and fired fiercely at the Japanese agents.
The Japanese agents had no time to hide, and 20 of them were shot at the same time from a long distance. All of them were on the edge, which seemed like a distribution of firepower.
Inukai Juichi was shot in the right chest. He covered his chest and exclaimed, "The Chinese cavalry is terrifying. What kind of guns do they have? How can they shoot so far?"
Ito Jushi was shot in the arm and shook his head:
"Captain! We were careless."
Inukai Juichi roared, "Quick! Kidnap the Chinese people!"
"Hello!"
The Japanese agent who was in the middle position and had not been shot hurriedly received the order.
"Boom! Boom!"
The second wave of volleys followed, and all the Japanese agents who were not shot were shot and fell down.
Inukai Juichi was shot in the chest, holding his left chest, and sighed:
"Damn it! This gun can still fire continuously. We shouldn't stay here. Sigh!"
After he finished speaking, his head tilted and he died.
Ito Jushi escaped the disaster by lying on the ground in advance, thinking to himself:
"The Chinese army is stingy with bullets and will definitely not reload them."
The gunfire stopped and there was no longer a single Japanese agent standing at the scene.
"Kill the devil!"
The people roared and rushed over with farm tools in their hands.
The girl at the village entrance hit Ito Jushi on the head with a hoe.
Ito Jushi covered his head in pain and raised his pistol towards the girl.
"Bang!"
Xiaoliu rushed over and shot him dead with one shot.
The girl found the pair of cloth shoes from Ito Jushi's backpack, stuffed them into Xiaoliu's hands, and said shyly, "Thank you for saving my life, sir! These are the shoes Cuilan made herself, please accept them!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and ran behind an old man, secretly glancing at Xiaoliu.
"what?!"
Xiaoliu held the shoes, stunned.
Liu Zhengxiong stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Six! This little girl has taken a fancy to you, so cherish her."
Xiao Liu glanced at Cui Lan and said angrily, "Old Liu! Stop trying to match us up. She and I are not suitable."
Liu Zhengxiong scolded: "You are stupid! This girl is so beautiful, if you don't want to marry her, give her to Wang Zizai."
Xiao Liu said anxiously, "No! I'll go ask the boss."
Liu Zhengxiong pulled him towards the old man beside Cuilan and shouted, "Your boss is treating the people. I'm in charge of this matter. Let's go and talk to the girl's father."
The old man smiled and asked, "Sir! What do you want to talk to me about?"
Liu Zhengxiong took out a gold bar from Xiaoliu's body and handed it to him, saying seriously, "Old man! My brother Xiang Xiaoliu has taken a fancy to your daughter. How about we arrange a marriage first?"
The old man was startled and did not take the gold bar. He asked, "Sir! You are Eighth Route Army soldiers wearing national army uniforms, right?"
Xiaoliu stuffed all the money he had into his pocket and said with a smile, "Uncle! We are Eighth Route Army soldiers."
The old man nodded with satisfaction and turned to ask:
"Daughter! Are you attracted to him?"
"Ok!"
Cuilan nodded shyly.
Liu Zhengxiong stuffed the gold bar into the old man's hand and said with a smile, "Old man! The marriage is settled. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Xiang Xiaoliu will come back and marry your daughter."
"All right!"
The old man nodded, took out a yellowed photo and handed it to Liu Zhengxiong, begging:
"Sir! My son joined the Eighth Route Army a few years ago. He only asked someone to send this photo back to me, and there has been no news since. If you meet him, please tell him that Cuilan and I miss him very much."
The old man was so emotional that his voice was choked with sobs.
Liu Zhengxiong took the photo, which showed a handsome young man wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, with a black mole on his forehead and chin, standing at the foot of Pagoda Mountain with a smile on his face.
Xiaoliu leaned in to look at the photo and asked with a smile, "Cui Lan! What's our brother's name?"
Cuilan glanced at him and said with a blushing face, "Brother! Call me Li Yu."
Xiaoliu patted his chest and said, "Dad! Cuilan! Don't worry! Leave the task of finding your brother to me."
The old man nodded and said, "Okay! We must find your brother."
At this time, the roar of an airplane was heard in the sky to the north.
Xiang Chu shouted loudly: "Brothers! To avoid harming the villagers and being bombed by the devils, quickly mount your horses and leave this place."
"Yes!"
All the spies obeyed the order in unison.
Xiaoliu jumped on the horse and turned to look at Cuilan reluctantly.
Cuilan waved at him and shouted:
"Brother! Kill more devils. I'll wait for you."
"Okay! I'll come pick you up after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War."
Xiaoliu shouted loudly and galloped eastward on his horse.
Xiang Chu asked doubtfully, "Old Liu! Did you just help Xiao Liu find a match?"
Liu Zhengxiong nodded and said, "Yes! To create a marriage is better than building a seven-story pagoda."
Xiang Chu laughed and said, "Great! When you see Lü Zheng, you can ask him for some wine."
Liu Zhengxiong shook his head and said, "There are both advantages and disadvantages! Xiaoliu still has to find Li Cuilan's brother Li Yu for her. Oh, right! This Li Yu is also an Eighth Route Army cadre."
After saying this, he took out Li Yu's photo and handed it to Xiang Chu.
Xiang Chu took the photo and looked at it, then said thoughtfully:
"This person looks familiar. I feel like I've seen him somewhere."
Liu Zhengxiong smiled and said, "Okay! The task of finding Li Yu is up to you. Go!"
"You want to shirk responsibility, right?"
Xiang Chu scolded, put away the photo, and rode his horse forward to chase after him.
