Chen Baoxiang could never see through Gu Lanchun.

In recent years, many opera troupes have come to Jinan to perform operas. Almost all the famous actors from Peking and Shanghai have come to Jinan.

He was just listening to the play, but Gu Lanchun and Lianchengbi met at the Rice Shop, and suddenly the relationship between him and Gu Lanchun became closer.

Mr. Mu came over in a hurry this time to report the news, which made things even more confusing.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Liu Yue'e was illiterate, but she could see something was wrong from Chen Baoxiang's solemn expression.

"It's okay. My friend asked my friend to do something."

Chen Baoxiang is very calm. Women are timid and afraid of getting into trouble and cannot reveal anything.

"Master, there have been strange people coming to the store these days. Some people ordered food, but just didn't eat it and kept looking at others. If you feel uneasy, we will close the store for a few days and wait until the world is peaceful.

Let’s talk later?”

"No, just open the store as usual, don't be suspicious."

Chen Baoxiang is the backbone of the family, and everything big or small disappears when he comes to him.

Liu Yuee went out, and Chen Baoxiang took a deep breath to calm down.

If you want to destroy the Plum Blossom Mansion and rescue the people, you have to be brave and courageous enough.

"Manpower, explosives, routes, cover..."

Wu Yixiao definitely can't handle these things, so the only person he wants to unite with is Luo Hongying.

He just came back from Furong Street and thought of this move.

Luo Hongying rescued Ben Leihu, he rescued Da Qingyi Gu Lanchun, and Wu Yixiao rescued traffic officer Xu Huzi.

Three people, three lines, three things - three combined into one, the little devil in Plum Blossom Mansion is finished.

When he thought about killing so many Japanese Japs, he suddenly became excited and his hands trembled slightly.

In the past, when the Japanese crossed Shanhaiguan and headed south, Zhu Yueming, one of Chief Han's staff, once said at the oath-taking meeting: "The Japanese Japanese slaves occupy a small area and want to devour our Chinese mountains and rivers with tens of thousands of troops. They are dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period."

Dream. How many people are there in North China? Even one spittle can drown them..."

What was the actual situation? The Japanese passed Shanhaiguan, occupied Beiping and Tianjin, and then occupied Shandong.

Chief Han abandoned the city and fled, which chilled the hearts of the people of Jinan.

"It doesn't matter if the coward ran away, at least we still have us in Jinan City——"

Chen Baoxiang gritted his teeth and looked at his fists.

He was unwilling to kill people, but when faced with little devils, he never regarded these guys with short limbs and deer-headed eyes as humans, but only as wild dogs.

When it comes to killing dogs, Jinan people are good at it.

Whether it is placed in a sack and swung to death with a big stick, or whether it is hung up directly and a mouthful of water is sprayed into the dog's throat and it chokes to death, it is a trivial matter.

This time, he wanted to take advantage of his strength, just like Zhuge Liang's straw boat borrowed arrows from the east wind, and with the help of the Sharpshooter Club, he wanted to send the little devils of the Plum Blossom Mansion to the west.

In the evening, when his children came back, Chen Baoxiang pretended to be alright, eating when he should and drinking porridge when he should.

"Dad, I was moving boxes on the cargo platform today. What do you think is inside? It's cannonballs, cannonballs."

After Chuanwu finished speaking, Chuanwen added: "Yes, a total of one hundred and twenty boxes. Some of the boxes I moved were grenades. The foreman kept shouting beside me, asking everyone to be careful not to break the boxes.

"

Chen Baoxiang heard from old customers that there has been a war in the south.

When these weapons are sent to the front line, the little devils can be rampant again.

"Dad, do you know Dafeng Mountain?"

Chen Baoxiang frowned: "Second brother, why are you talking so boldly? Do we Jinan people know about Dafeng Mountain in Changqing? When I was young, I even went there to deliver rice and noodles!"

Chuanwu grinned and lowered his voice: "Dad, the Dafeng Mountain you are talking about is different from what I told you. I am talking about Dafeng Mountain -"

He opened his right thumb and index finger and made an "eight" sign.

Chen Baoxiang was startled and then became proud of himself: "Dad, you didn't know, right? Dafeng Mountain is full of them. The Japanese were so afraid that they went into the mountain several times to sweep up. Not only did they not see anyone, but they also fell into pits full of people.

They were sharpened spikes, and they killed seven or eight people. Now, when they mention Dafeng Mountain, they get trembling in their calves. I heard that these cannonballs are meant to deal with people in the mountains!"

"ah?"

Xiu'er was startled and covered her mouth.

Chuanwu continued to gesture: "The Japanese set up the cannon, placed it on the mountain ridge, and fired directly. It can hit the ground for two miles, bombing the ravines and ridges. I heard that these cannonballs are so powerful that they can destroy stone walls, houses, etc. with one shot."

It can be destroyed."

"Eat, eat."

Liu Yue'e reprimanded, then patted Xiu'er on the back: "Good girl, don't be afraid, your brother is talking nonsense, don't believe him!"

Chuanwu shouted: "I'm telling the truth. The storyteller under the overpass said it. Does the city of Nanjing know that? The city wall is so thick and the city gate is so strong. It is said that the little devil set up the cannon and destroyed the city wall in three or two blows.

From the city gate, enter the city directly and massacre the city for three days..."

"You're eating, but you don't have ears?"

Chen Baoxiang slapped the table to stop Chuanwu from continuing.

Most of what happened in Nanjing is based on hearsay and rumors.

The common people add fuel to the fire, not knowing whether it is true or false, and they pass it around, and it gets lost.

Chen Baoxiang heard the news that the defenders of Nanjing City, like Jinan City, abandoned the city and fled without any moral principles.

He had seen with his own eyes how the Japanese occupied Jinan City without any blood, and he could think of the situation in all the cities south of Jinan.

After eating, he went to the shop alone, sulking while wiping the tables and stools.

Pass the message over and help him work silently.

"Boss, watch your brother, don't let him go out and talk nonsense. There is chaos under the overpass. If you have nothing to do, just rest in the cargo platform and don't run around. The storyteller's mouth, the opera's legs... are all fake, they are all fake

.”

"Yes, I understand, Dad."

The two men finished wiping the tables and stools, passing on the conversation and making tea, and then stood aside politely.

"Anything else?"

"Dad, someone dropped a leaflet on the street today. I didn't pick it up, but I took a quick look at it and remembered a few words. The leaflet said that the Sharpshooter Association has entered the city and will collect hundreds of Japanese army officers within ten days.

Head."

Chen Baoxiang nodded, knowing that it was Yu Shutong and Luo Hongying who were bluffing to scare the Japanese and achieve the purpose of disrupting the morale of the army.

"Dad, the Japanese occupied Jinan. The order on the goods platform is much better than before, and the foremen withheld less salary. When there are more goods coming in, I work overtime at night and get overtime pay. I wonder if it is better for us poor people.

The day has come too?”

Chuan Wen is honest and has followed the rules since he was a child. No matter what he does, he must first ask Chen Baoxiang for instructions.

"Wrong."

Chen Baoxiang could not say more, for fear that the Chuanwen would add to his worries and prevent him from working well.

"Dad, when Chief Han was here, after the work was done, the foreman got three draws, and the person in charge of the goods platform got another three draw. In the end, we only got a little money. Now, I'm trying to figure it out, and I'll work hard with Chuanwu.

I’ll be able to save some money by the end of the year—”

Chen Baoxiang nodded again. At the very least, Chuanwen would not cause trouble, so he could rest assured.

"Dad, the goods counter has been working overtime recently. My brother and I sometimes come back late, don't worry, you two. The foreman said that it is the twelfth lunar month and the southern battlefield is tight. We have to work overtime every day. Whoever works more will earn more.

.”

Chen Baoxiang pointed to the teapot and Chuanwen quickly took the teapot and poured tea.

"Sit down."

Chen Baoxiang pointed to the stool next to him and shook his head: "Don't dare, Dad, you sit while I stand. I don't dare to break the rules. This is what you have taught me since I was a child."

"Okay, boss, you are a good boy. In our family, you have to help me hold up half of the sky, restrain my younger brother, and take care of my younger sister. One day, this family property will be yours."

Chen Baoxiang looked at the store and felt a little ashamed.

It's called "family property", but in fact these tables, stools, stoves, bowls and chopsticks are not worth much.

In troubled times, every household is in danger.

If a war breaks out one day, the rice shop will cease to exist.

On the eaves, a cat meowed suddenly.

"Meow, meow, meow -"

"Zhuan Wen, go back to sleep. I'll sit there for a while."

Chuan Wen obeyed, opened the curtain and went to the backyard.
