Chapter 75 Cremation(29)

The news of Wang Juren's arrest spread throughout Wencheng.The hungry and suffering Wencheng people passed the news to each other; they were as excited as if they suddenly got a little food or cloth.They hate Ju Rengong more than Er Gou, because they have given Ju Ren Gong respect and love over the years, they never thought that he would be so weak and despicable, as to join forces with Er Gou.His surrender was not only a disgrace to Wencheng, but also to Kong Shengren.That's right, he didn't domineering like Er Gou, who bullied others with his power.However, they hope that the representatives of Yu Wencheng will not only do less evil passively, but actively resist the enemy.

When the news got out, they didn't bother to guess who would replace the president of Jurengong Zuowencheng, because whoever was the president was also under the command of the Japanese, and there would never be any benevolent government.What they want to guess is why Wang Juren was arrested.If he broke the law for corruption and was taken by the Japanese, they wouldn't have to worry about him anymore; he deserved his death!Conversely, if he cooperates with the inside and outside, and works for the Chinese government, but the Japanese see through, they will definitely respect him and respect him even more!What they hoped day and night was that the dignitaries in Wencheng would secretly communicate with the Chinese government, and that one day the national army would attack, so that they could attack from inside and outside, and drive out all the Japanese devils!They haven't found such a person so far, so they hope that Wang Juren may do something decent before he dies!

In less than an hour, the second news spread again: Er Gou will be the president.Everyone didn't feel much interest in this news. They had already imagined that Ergou would be more proud and powerful one day, and he would become a Japanese completely.Regarding the current news, they just curled their lips, as if they heard that the wild dog ate a dead man again.They don't want the dog to do anything good, just as they don't want the donkey to turn into a horse.They only hope that when the national army arrives, they will kill the Japanese and Ergou together. When Lao Zheng entered the city, he immediately heard the news about Jurengong and Ergou.He began to understand why Menglian had fled the city.He saw danger at once, and he wanted to turn around and get out of town quickly.The pine forest is his home, where he has his son and daughter-in-law.Every time he saw danger, he thought without hesitation: that pine forest was the safest place, and with him at home, his son and daughter-in-law would not make trouble.He wanted to go home quickly.However, he loves Menglian the most and admires Captain Shi.He had to find Captain Shi before he could have the face to go home.He couldn't just care about himself and his son. Captain Shi came to Wencheng for the sake of national affairs.Lao Zheng is not a completely selfish person.

Where can I find Captain Shi?If Ju Rengong had already been arrested, would Captain Shi still dare to stay in the palace?If he wasn't in the royal residence, even though Wencheng is a small town, if it was under fire under a black light, wouldn't it be a mess?Thinking of this, he felt a little impatient.He had to leave the city before the city gate was closed, and he had to find Captain Shi, but there was no way to find out where Captain Shi was!At the same time, he was very willing to visit Jurengong, although he knew that there was no hope of breaking into the headquarters.Jurengong is both his landlord and an old friend. Although it is a big mistake for Jurengong to work for the enemy, it is always pitiful to be arrested.From there, he thought: If Ju Rengong really offended the Japanese, the Japanese would confiscate the house and land of the royal residence; if the land was transferred to the government, would he still be a tenant?His own savings are not enough to buy land. Once he loses the land of the royal residence, how can he easily rent a suitable land?Is it possible that people who are almost sixty years old still go to work for others?What's more, in this era of war and chaos, which family didn't even have women and children working in the fields, who would hire people?Lao Zheng's cheeks moved quickly and vigorously, and acid water came out of his mouth!Without the fields of the Wangzhai, there is simply no way out.The most urgent thing is that if the land is confiscated, his family will have no place to live; his thatched house is connected to the land.It's easy for him, but what about his wife?Is it possible to teach a young daughter-in-law to sleep in the wild every day?Old Zheng, who had been strong and upright all his life, was sweating and his legs were a little weak.He couldn't complain; it was all because of the Japanese coming to Wencheng!The Japanese suffer more than the drought; the drought cannot, but the Japanese can, teach him that he has no place to sleep!

While thinking and walking, Lao Zheng almost forgot what he was doing?Walking to the entrance of a small alley, he was suddenly grabbed by a hand and dragged into the alley.He was about to open his mouth when the person pulling him whispered in his ear, "Get out of the city!" Old Zheng heard that it was Captain Shi who spoke.Captain Shi has already changed his outfit, and even put a fake beard on his mouth. "Menglian," Lao Zheng wanted to explain his intentions very simply. Captain Shi didn't wait for Old Zheng to finish, and asked, "How is she?" "In my place, she taught me to tell you!"

"Okay! I'm ready! Go!" Captain Shi pushed Old Zheng out of the alley. Captain Shi's nervousness, caution, and enthusiasm taught Lao Zheng to forget all his worries and worries just now.He thought: Captain Shi, no matter what the situation is, he will definitely sneak out of Wencheng and compete with the Japanese.Captain Shi is the second company commander Tang!With such a person, Wencheng will definitely see the light of day again!Letting go of his stride, he walked out of town. Drenched in sweat, he came to the house.No lights, strange! "Iron Zhuzi! Iron Zhuzi!" the old man shouted again and again, feeling very unhappy. "Have you cooked for Miss Lian yet? What time is it and the lamp is still on?" He kept nagging.There was no sound in the room, and he dared not step in. "Miss Lian! Miss Lian! What's going on here?"

A man came running out of the darkness.He fixed his old eyes and looked carefully.Before he could identify who the black shadow was, the black shadow had already said: "Uncle Song!" The old man said angrily, as if scolding a child: "Miss Lian! Why don't you go into the house so late What about that bastard? Why is the daughter-in-law missing?" Meng Lian wanted to ask the old man if she saw Captain Shi, but she couldn't speak.She has come to the greatest difficulty!She couldn't stop telling the old man the truth, but she knew the truth would kill the old man!She had prepared so many words of comfort for the old man, but now that she saw him, she couldn't say a single word; words of comfort were like some kind of external ointment, which could only be rubbed on the skin, but could not cure the heart disease.She knew that under the hands of the enemy, a person's death is not surprising.This cannot be a reason to keep the old man from being moved and from crying to death.Truth is truth, flesh and blood is flesh and blood.She knew that the old man had no money, no land, but only such a son.The old man hardly knows why he lives so hard and honestly, if it is not because he has a stupid son.If you have a son, you have everything, and if you have a son, you have eternal life.He will die, but his children and grandchildren will live forever.How could she tell him that Tie Zhuzi had been dead for two or three hours?

"Miss Lian! What's going on?" The old man was a little anxious. "Come in and talk!" She dragged the old man into the house. The old man lit the oil lamp.In the light, he saw a pale girl Lian with red and swollen eyelids. "Miss Lian! Tell me! What's going on?" Meng Lian couldn't stand anymore; her legs softened, she knelt down in front of the old man, and hugged his legs. "Japanese soldiers..." "How about the Japanese soldiers?" the old man almost shouted. "Iron pillar!" "Iron pillars?" "It's over!"

"It's over? Who?" "Iron pillar!" There was no sound in the room, and the lantern lightly popped once or twice.
