Chen Chen sighed softly, knowing that she must have suffered a grievance, so he slowed down and said, "Come here to sit down, let's warm up!"

After entering the house, my aunt had already prepared the meal, and Sun Hongshan was back, waiting for Chen Chen and Erdan in a hurry.

Seeing Juanzi following behind, wiping her tears while walking, the two of them knew what was going on. The aunt hurriedly pulled Juanzi to the head of the kang and sat down, and asked her what was angry about her again.

Juanzixiang saw her relatives and cried and accidentally broke a bowl while serving the master's house for dinner at night. The eldest wife of the He family beat her and said it again.

"Oh, this miserable child is beaten and angry all day long." The aunt looked at the man with inquiring eyes.

Sun Hongshan had a gloomy face, waved his hand, and said, "Let the child eat first, and then talk about it after the meal."

Corn porridge, cornmeal cakes, spicy dishes, and a plate of fried shredded potatoes. It is a luxury to eat when you are full, and this is already a very rich delicacy.

Speaking of which, it was because Chen Chen lived at home that his aunt was willing to spend money to buy good food.

"Stop crying, eat first." Chen Chen greeted and comforted, "If you don't let go back, you will sleep here tonight. If you hit you later, you will run out."

"Children's words." Sun Hongshan smiled bitterly and waved to Chen Chen to sit down and have dinner.

Juanzi was a little shy, and then slowly let go, but she looked at Chen Chen with more eyes, as if she was envious.

After buying two bottles of wine and only giving one, Sun Hongshan also had a good taste. After drinking two cups of wine, he talked too much. He first asked Chen Chen and Erdan what they had done.

Hearing that he was learning martial arts from Uncle Zhou, Sun Hongshan nodded and said, "Old Zhou, well, he is a good person. He is willing to stand up for the miners and has a way, so everyone is convinced."

"Is that true?" Chen Chen asked casually: "Have he helped our family?"

"Of course I helped." Sun Hongshan paused and said, "All of them are poor guys. If we try our best, we have to be grateful. It's not counting how much money they have received."

"Oh!" Chen Chen responded, broke open the pancake and distributed half to Xiaohua.

"Damei, do you know why we miners are poor?" Sun Hongshan pointed to Juanzi and said, "His father was honest and had been working hard for half his life. In one go, his family would be destroyed!"

Juanzi's eyes were wet, so she quickly lowered her head to cover up.

Chen Chen thought about it, but did not answer directly, but asked back: "Uncle, why do you think it is?"

Sun Hongshan took a small sip of wine and said slowly: "The hard work of digging coal is the happiness of being the cabinet. The vampire is the one who works as the cabinet. The blood of the miners is sucked away by exploitation, and the miners will naturally become poor."

"What should I do?" Before Chen Chen could speak, Xiaohua spoke first, holding a pancake in her hand, blinking her big eyes and asked, "Dad, will I still be hungry in the future?"

"What should I do?" Sun Hongshan said angrily: "Only the poor guys can have the strength to fight with the counter; or they can change the territory and not be under the jurisdiction of the Japanese and those rich people, so the poor can have a way out."

Chen Chen pursed his lips and smiled. This sounds familiar, and he is a common promotional tone!

"Can you tell me these kids understand?" My aunt felt that this was a bit wrong, and she was afraid of causing trouble, so she interrupted: "Damei, don't go out when it's dark in the future, meet a bad guy or something."

"Okay, I won't go out if I'm fine in the future." Chen Chen agreed, then turned to ask Sun Hongshan, "Uncle, how is the tofu business done?"

"I still have to wait for the little stone mill. The village's Mason Feng Shishi is going to finish the work in two days." Sun Hongshan was distracted and there was not much to hear, so he stopped talking.

After dinner, Chen Chen wanted to help clean up. Juanzi had already taken it first. My aunt stopped him again, so he didn't force him and turned around and went back to his house first.

Now we can basically determine who Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou are, but if we want to get on this line, Chen Chen still needs to think of a set of rhetoric. For example, how did he run into the mountains, where did the gun come from, and how did he practice his gun skills...

After experiencing all kinds of difficulties, Chen Chen has already determined that it is unrealistic to be a Maverick.

Just a woman's identity is a difficult problem to solve.

Similarly, because he is a woman, if he wants to join the anti-Japanese armed forces and continue to carry guns and fight, he still needs to prove his worth to others.

Chen Chen sat down and thought for a while, then leaned against the quilt and thought. It was not until his aunt led Juanzi in that he temporarily interrupted his thoughts.

"This child is suffering, and there is not a piece of good meat on his body." My aunt said with hatred and heartache: "I'll scrub her. There's still some medicine at home. Your uncle doesn't need it anymore, just apply it to her."

"I'll help too." Chen Chen got up to fetch water, and while helping with the work, he comforted Juanzi, "I'll sleep here tonight and talk to my sister for a while. I'll hit you later-"

"I'll run away." Juanzi pursed her lips and showed a uglier smile.

After scrubbing and applying medicine, Chen Chen found a clean dress for Juanzi to change it. Although it was a bit big, it was better than the dirty clothes on Juanzi. The aunt talked for a while before turning around and leaving.

As the light blew, Chen Chen and Juanzi lay on the kang, chatting without a word, and Chen Chen was thinking about the story in his mind again.

"Sister Damei——" Juanzi called out a little timidly. When she heard Chen Chen's "Yeah" answer, she hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "Is the master who bought you still lacking a maid? It depends on how good you are. The lady who serves you is kind-hearted, and the old lady likes you too. I heard from Erdan that she still wants to recognize you as her fucking daughter!"

Do you believe these random fabrications?

Chen Chen was not good at telling the truth, and he also knew that Juanzi had suffered too much, and it was normal for him to rush to find a way out. He was perfunctory and did not dare to give Juanzi too much hope.

"I can do anything, as long as I can eat enough, even if I eat half full, as long as I don't get beaten." Juanzi's tone became a plea, "Sister Damei, let me tell you! If I go, I will do all your work and I will miss you all my life."

"Okay, I'll tell you, if you're a little playmate, can you bear to see you suffer?" Chen Chen was a little helpless and had to try his best to comfort him, "You can endure it first and wait for a while!"

"I've been waiting, I've been enduring for two years, and a month is nothing." Juanzi seemed to have hope, and her tone became less depressed.

Chen Chen felt a little guilty and sighed silently, no longer having the interest in chatting.

But Juanzi seemed excited. Perhaps because she was too depressed, no one talked to him, so she continued to find topics, "Sister Damei, I heard from Erdan that he also wanted to go to the mine to earn money to support his family."

"I won't let him go, it's too dangerous to go to the mine."

"Yes, the supervisor still likes to beat children." Juanzi said, remembering something again, and said casually: "When dinner is about to be had, a Hong, went to He's house to complain. I vaguely listened to him that there was less explosives in the mine, and someone probably stole it. Maybe it was instructed by the Communist Party. After thinking about it, there was no one with the Communist Party surnamed Murakami."

Chen Chen immediately became alert and asked, "What did the He family say? Have you heard it?"

"I didn't listen carefully in the outer room, as if I was touching some melon. He Jingtang was very happy and arranged to invite someone named Hong to drink and have a meal. When I was busy, I broke the bowl."

Follow the clues, this must be the saying.

The head of the man surnamed Hong is very sinister. He did not act on the spot at the mine, but ran to the He family to flatter him. It is estimated that this would bring more benefits from the He family.

"Don't tell others about this, let alone let the He family and the Hong surname know about it." Chen Chen figured it out and reminded him: "Don't bother with it. The He family and the Hong surname must deal with you."

"I didn't say to anyone." Juanzi paused for a moment and added: "When they discussed harming people, they carried me on their backs, and I didn't dare to listen. This was eavesdropping, how dare people know?"

"Well, that's the reason. You did it right." Chen Chen praised and said, "Sleep, get up early tomorrow, and you sneak back secretly, and you probably won't be fine."

"Yes." Juanzi responded and stopped talking.

Chen Chen lay on the kang and couldn't fall asleep for a long time. After thinking about these many things, he finally figured out a rough idea. He felt relieved and felt sleepy.

……………………

The sky was just white and the stars were still flashing. My aunt came to wake Juanzi, and Chen Chen woke up, insisting on sending her off.

My aunt couldn't help but let them eat randomly, so she called Erdan to accompany her and stuffed Juanzi a bun.

The village was quiet. The night shift had not yet come off and the morning shift had not left, but there were smoke from the chimneys of several houses, which was obviously cooking for the people who went to the mine.

The three of them turned west after passing the village head, and were still a distance from the He family's wide and tall house. Juanzi told Chen Chen and Erdan to go forward no longer.

She was afraid of being seen, not only would she be scolded, but Chen Chen and Erdan might also be in trouble.

Watching Juanzi walk away, her figure disappear at the door of the compound. After waiting for a while, she didn't hear any scoldings. Chen Chen and Erdan turned around and left.

"Sister, Master Zhou is talking about tomorrow." Erdan saw that his sister was not going home, but walked towards the Outer Village. He thought he was the servant who was going to send him to play with his sword, so he hurriedly reminded him.

"I know." Chen Chen didn't stop and said, "There's something else, I want to talk to Master Zhou."

The second half hurriedly followed and didn't ask too much.

On the way to Waihu Village, there were already scattered miners working in the work. When they were about to arrive in the village, Chen Chen and Erdan happened to meet Lao Zhou and several miners.

"Uncle Zhou." Chen Chen took the lead in saying hello and stopped on the side of the road, "You stand for a stop, I have something to tell you."

Old Zhou was a little surprised, but he still said to the miners, stopped himself, and said to Chen Chen with a smile: "Tell me, what's the matter so anxious, you'll come before dawn."

"Second, stay away from it, don't listen to adults' affairs." Chen Chen said, walking a few steps to the side, stopping and looking at Lao Zhou.

Old Zhou followed with a smile, but his heart was not as relaxed as he looked. He even joked: "My sir, you girl is still mysterious!"

Chen Chen had no smile on his face and said in a low voice: "There is a head of the mine named Hong. There is less explosives in the stone door. I suspect someone is stealing it out. Today, the mine may have to search strictly. Please tell others about it and be careful."

The expression on Lao Zhou's face froze, and then he grinned again: "Those supervisors are suspicious all day long. Coal is afraid of stealing, copper dynasty is afraid of stealing, and workers are also afraid of lazy! We are doing things right, walking straight, and our hands are clean, and we are not afraid of him finding fault."

Chen Chen smiled and nodded, "It's not good if you can't find any trouble? Uncle Zhou, I'm done with my business. You're busy with yours, I'm going home now." After that, he turned around and left.

Lao Zhou looked at Chen Chen's back and hesitated for a moment. He opened his mouth and closed it without saying anything.

Although he was still very suspicious of what Chen Chen said, Lao Zhou quickly notified the miners at his exhibition, not to steal explosives out today, and not to make any suspicious actions. He should pay special attention to the supervisor and keep his head in mind.

The day passed like this, but the underground was surprisingly calm, even more peaceful than before.

Not to mention being too cautious, even the supervisors who often wander around the alleys and supervise miners' work have fewer heads, let alone Hong's head and the worst hemp rod.

At noon, Erhuzi couldn't help it and secretly came over to Lao Zhou and said, "Uncle Zhou, there is always no one in the cave room today, it's even looser than before. Let's do it hard and get the explosives together."

The cave room was dug a small hole like an earth kiln on one side of the lane, which stored some mining materials and laid boards, which were specially used for the Japanese to go down the well to rest at the cabinet.

Lao Zhou and the others stole explosives from here and hid them in the calcium carbide lamp to take them out.

Old Zhou was actually very anxious and wanted to get the explosives all at once to carry out the bridge blasting operation. But Chen Chen's words made him alert, and today's abnormal situation made him even more suspicious.

"Don't be anxious. I looked something wrong today. We can't just follow other people's words." Lao Zhou pressed his urgency and comforted Erhuzi with a calm and composed attitude.

"But this opportunity-" Erhuzi sighed helplessly, "Okay, I'll endure it today."

Erhuzi left, Lao Zhou was still a little worried. He took advantage of lunch and left again, reminding others.

After speculation and suspicion, it was finally time to get off work. The miners sat in the can cage and immediately felt the tension in the atmosphere.

A circle of mine police stood around the wellhead, as if facing a great enemy.

All the workers who went downstairs to work in the mine stood aside. He Jingtang sat on a ring chair at the cabinet, glanced at the miner with a cold face. Behind him were Ma Gan and Hong's head.

The miners looked at each other, not knowing what happened. Hong put his head close to He Jingtang and said a few words, and He Jingtang nodded.

"I lost things from the mine these two days. Who took them from the cave room? Let me explain clearly in front of He Guitou. They are all fellow villagers in the village. He Guitou has a large number of people, so he is not prepared to do anything."

Hong looked confident and stepped forward and shouted: "But if he doesn't confess now, and when he gets the handle, don't blame the cabinet. Send them all to the Imperial Army. That's the crime of beheading."
