Chapter 76 Cremation(30)

Tian Mazi took a few puffs of his cigarette and took a nap.Opening his eyes, he saw clearly: he had wasted all his efforts and failed completely!Because of his report, Wang Juren was sent to prison, but Ergou didn't thank him, but only gave him five yuan!five yuan?Such a big contribution is only worth five dollars?But why did I reach out to take it?The five dollars are a mountain, blocking his way.He's only worth five bucks!From now on, every time he opened his mouth to Ergou, Ergou would never raise the price for him, because he sold so much strength that he was only worth five yuan!He offended Wang Juren and Captain Shi in order to get a considerable sum of money or a lucrative position from Ergou, but he ruined his own platform!He hates himself!

After staying for a while, he forgave himself and turned to hate Ergou.Ergou has already betrayed him once, and this time, of course, he will not repay kindness with kindness. Ergou is born with a long wolf, who works for wolves, and sooner or later he will be eaten by wolves, that's right!If he troubles Ergou again, maybe Ergou will betray him again!There are two dogs in Wencheng, but there is no Tian Mazi! He took two more puffs of cigarettes on credit, and sucked them down very quickly and fiercely.After wiping his mouth, he went to Ergou.He decided to take a tough attitude. The little martial arts left in him could at least subdue Ergou. He could no longer be so humble and begging, but had to demand the reward he deserved with confidence!

"What are you doing here again?" Ergou asked angrily. "Come again?" Tian Mazi stretched the indigestible word "you" very long, as if he wanted to smash all the flavor contained in it. "I just gave you five dollars!" The word "five" is more difficult to digest than the word "you", and his whole body is full of hard thorns! "Let me tell you!" Tian Mazi's green face emitted a pea-green light, "Give me fifty thousand yuan! One less, don't think about it!" Ergou was originally very timid, but he was good at bullying softly and being afraid of hard ones.He looked down on Tian Mazi, and didn't know that he had practiced martial arts before, so he didn't take him seriously. "Get out, I can't even give you fifty cents!"

"Really?" Tian Mazi's lips did not tremble, but the veins on his head jumped. "Really?" He took two steps forward. "What are you doing?" Ergou touched the gun with his hand.His gun is not for hitting people, but only for strengthening his courage.When he met weak people, like old men and women, he loved to use his gun; the weaker they were, the more powerful his gun was.He thought Tian Mazi was just a heavy smoker, who would run out of shit as soon as he saw a gun. "Hey! Do you want to use a gun?" Tian Mazi sneered for a while. "Tell you, Ergou! We all work for the Japanese, all for the sake of getting a little bit cheaper, you have to understand the matter! You are going to eat yourself into a fat man, and don't leave any portion for your friends, please be careful head!"

"Get out!" Ergou pulled out his gun.He didn't intend to move the mechanism, he was afraid of the sound of the gun; he just wanted to scare Tian Mazi away. Tian Mazi has killed people before, and he is not afraid of guns and blood.He didn't know if Ergou really wanted to hit him, but he was determined to take the gun back.Holding the gun in his hand, he believed that Ergou would bend his knees.He sneered and raised his left hand to scratch his head.Ergou's eyes were led up by Tian Mazi's hand.Tian Mazi's right hand quickly grabbed Ergou's wrist, flipped his hand, and Ergou disarmed.

Ergou panicked.Like a timid child, he wanted to run outside.Tian Mazi blocked the way.Ergou is in a hurry, he wants to call someone. Tian Mazi is not afraid that Ergou will fight him, but he is afraid that he will call someone.Ergou has bodyguards sent by the Japanese.If they saw it, they would report it to the Japanese, and it would be difficult for Tian Mazi to hang out in Wencheng. "Don't make a sound! Don't move!" Tian Mazi ordered Ergou. "Give me the money, and I won't beat you to death!" Ergou is afraid of death, but also loves money.He wanted to use a "trick": "Put the gun down, let's discuss."

Tian Mazi put down his gun.Ergou felt itchy, thinking that Tian Mazi had been tricked.He wanted to reach for the gun. "Don't move your hands!" Tian Mazi ordered again: "Bring the money quickly!" "If I have money, I won't give it to you!" Ergou stretched out his hand very quickly. Instead of grabbing the gun, Tian Mazi aimed at Ergou's temple and punched him.His punch, because he hit the right place, got the trick, Er Gou immediately fell to the ground.He didn't intend to kill Ergou, but he was afraid that Ergou would wake up and sue him, so he pinched both hands on Ergou's neck.Ergou rolled his eyes.As if there was dust on his hands, Tian Mazi's hands touched each other, and he froze for a while when he finished.Then, he went to touch Ergou's pocket, but there was not much money.Tian Mazi spat on Ergou's face twice.Taking out the little money he found and putting it in his pocket, he took off the gold ring from Ergou's hand.Finally, he put the gun on the table in his waist.He calmed down and walked out slowly.

Li Deming squeezed into the city just as he was about to close the city gate.It took him more than half an hour to find Captain Shi. Seeing Li Deming, Captain Shi's black pawn-like eyeballs shone, and he wiped his palm unconsciously. "How? How?" The hot air from his mouth blew into Lao Li's ears, which was very itchy.He was eagerly hoping that the order from his superiors would be to fight immediately, so that he could have a good fight.He couldn't just watch his compatriots in Wencheng starve to death one by one by the enemy, while his bullets were still on his body.

"Teach us to retreat immediately!" Li Deming said disappointedly. "Retreat?" Captain Shi's heart was half cold: "It's terrible! It's terrible!" "We won a big victory!" Li Deming hurriedly put down the thumb that had been picked out. "The enemy's right column crossed the river, and our brigade commander solved half of it. Just now I met He Guosheng who lived outside the city, and he said: The enemy's field artillery was originally pulled out by twelve mules, but now only There are six mules left; the second half of the gun carriage and the six mules are probably left behind by our brigade commander. The most ridiculous thing is that the half of the gun carriage is pulled by six mules, and the enemy is still practicing at the station! They think we You don’t even know what a cannon cart is!”

"Hurry up and talk about what's important!" Captain Shi was happy and a little disappointed when he heard that others had won the battle—because he himself couldn't participate. "The right column collapsed, and the enemy's left column retreated without daring to cross the river. In the air strike that day, our air force came to straf the retreating left column." "How did the strafing go?" Captain Shi asked. "The details are not yet known." "Go on, it's terrible!" "Since we have won the battle, the enemy will not dare to attack Xishan for a while." Li Deming's words were taken over by Captain Shi.

"They won't give up, they will definitely have to attack again!" "That's right! That's why I said 'for a while' and I dare not attack again! The brigade commander has already returned to Wangcun, so let us go back quickly!" "Go back!" Captain Shi turned over all the boiled sweet potatoes in his belly, and his mouth was full of sour water. "Our mission was to disrupt the enemy's rear. Now that the enemy has stopped attacking, and the left column has withdrawn intact, we certainly don't need to capture Wencheng, so there are thirty-two of us!" "Thirty one! Ding Yishan is dead! It's terrible!" Captain Shi corrected Li Deming's mistake. "Well, there is no need for thirty-one people to sacrifice in vain, so the brigade commander told us to go back quickly." "It's terrible! It's a waste of time!" Captain Shi froze. "Orders are orders!" "Who doesn't know that an order is an order?" Captain Shi said anxiously.He looked up at the star. "Anyway, I can't go out of the city today!" "The city has been closed!" Li Deming added. "Early tomorrow morning, you go out of the city and notify the people outside the city. Teach them to wait until we are all out of the city safely, and then you go. Cross the river and gather in Li Village. Now—" Captain Shi thought for a while, " Have you eaten yet?" "No way!" Li Deming suddenly felt very hungry. "I wanted to ask for two pancakes from Old Zheng, but somehow there is no light in the cottage!" "Old Zheng just left the city." "He has been here?" "Come and tell me to be careful! Wang Juren was arrested, and Miss Menglian left the city!" "Wang Juren—drink! Maybe we won't be able to leave the city so easily!" "If they interrogate Wang Juren tonight, ten out of ten Eighty-nine we have to do it, whether there is an order or not!" "how?" "Wood-headed, give him two mouths, why don't we all say it? If he makes a move, we can still get it? Go, go to the west of the smoke hall to eat! After eating, be careful! No one can sleep tonight! Be careful!" Captain Shi After finishing speaking in one breath, he hid himself in the shadows, preparing to stay up all night. Li Deming was ten steps away from the smokehouse, and he turned into a stone man.The thick felt curtain of the den was slowly raised, and a Japanese military police came out.Before the curtain fell down, the two bound people seemed to be pushed out, and quickly jumped under the eaves, where a rather bright glass lamp hung.Immediately afterwards, two more gendarmes came out, and as soon as the curtain seemed to fall, Tian Mazi twisted it out triumphantly. Li Deming turned from a stone into a puff of smoke, and jumped into the shadows in one step.Without an order, he dared not shoot, although he had his gun drawn. Tian Mazi beat Ergou to death, trying to escape from Wencheng and start anew elsewhere.However, he didn't dare to escape, for fear of clarifying the matter.Besides, where should I flee to?If you go to a place controlled by the Japanese, you will be caught sooner or later.How about going to China?No more smoking!Originally, he didn't dare to betray Captain Shi directly, but now, he was so anxious that he fainted and could no longer think carefully.He informed the gendarmerie.When he arrived at the palace, he ran to nothing, but couldn't find Captain Shi.He led the gendarmes to the den.The two brothers under Captain Shi were ordered to monitor Tian Mazi and lived in the smoke house.In the past, they took turns nailing Tian Mazi and reporting Mazi's actions to Captain Shi at any time.However, Tian Mazi told them today that he wanted to change his ways and go to assassinate Ergou, so they gave him a little freedom.They were waiting for him to come back in the den, but Tian Mazi and the Japanese military police surrounded them from the front and back doors and arrested them. Li Deming flew towards Captain Shi like an arrow. After listening to Lao Li's brief report, Captain Shi just said: "It's terrible!" He took Lao Li and left.Their footsteps were like lions descending at night, big, soft, and fast.At the entrance of an alley, he came over with Lao Li and other Tian Mazi.Coming over, Captain Shi let them walk through the alley, and then followed.Tian Mazi was at the end.Captain Shi's knife plunged into his waist, leaving only a little wooden handle.Tian Mazi yelled and fell down.Captain Shi pulled out his knife and gave it to the military police's back.At the same time, Li Deming's two big hands grabbed another military policeman by the neck, trying to pull his head off.The military police at the front turned around and fired—the first shot Wang Juren heard in prison.The two tied brothers moved away to the left and right. Li Deming knocked down the gendarme who had fired the gun and returned a shot to the head.Quickly untied the ropes of the two brothers, Captain Shi said: "Do it!"
