It's almost late at night, and everyone has been on tenterhooks, nervous, and tired tonight. Now it's a great pleasure to be able to sit down on the hay and take a rest.

Everyone was smoking cigarettes and chatting in low voices. Zhang Jie brought some big cakes, steamed buns and corn, nodded to everyone and said: "Don't dare to use fireworks at night, comrades can eat whatever you want."

Regardless of fatigue and hunger, Su Lan took the time to hold a short meeting with several cadres and decided to stay here until dawn before leaving.

She expressed her special thanks to Zhang Jie, took out a few silver dollars from her bag and handed them over.

Zhang Jie patted the dirt on his fox fur robe, shook his head, and said politely to Su Lan: "After listening to Xiaofeng's explanation, I also have some understanding of revolution and anti-Japanese. When comrades come to my house, just rest assured.

Make sure you’re okay.”

Meng Biao came over and held his hand and said: "Our safety completely depends on you."

"Haha, Third Uncle is a little scared, right?" Zhang Xuefeng teased as he gnawed on the corn.

"Just watch it, you little brat." After Zhang Jie finished speaking, he told everyone to rest, and then ran out to find out more information.

Everyone was extremely tired and fell asleep as soon as they lay down. Su Lan and Xiao Ming sat leaning on the haystack, quietly discussing the situation of other comrades who had broken through.

Thinking that the prefectural committee almost suffered heavy losses, both of them were a little sad.

When Meng Biao woke up and saw the captain still sitting, he was about to tell her to rest. He saw some sadness on her face and knew that she was sad, so it was unnecessary to persuade her. He turned over and sighed silently, pretending to be asleep.

This is when Zhang Jie opened the hole and shouted: "Captain, it looks like everything is okay."

Su Lan was not sleepy at all. Seeing that Xiao Ming was sleepy and silent, she wanted everyone to stay in the dark room first to avoid being caught off guard. Then she came out of the cave to inquire about the news.

When we got to the courtyard, we saw that it was already bright and the sun was rising quite a bit from the east.

After sweeping the dirt off her body, she was about to go to the north room to cook for her comrades. As soon as she entered the room and was about to take off the pot, she heard someone knocking on the door.

Zhang Jie was not here at this time, and there was already movement in the north room. Su Lan heard the sound of Tutuo's leather boots and stood at the door, touching the pistol on her waist.

The devil is coming, what should I do?

It's too late to go back to the dark room

Don't panic, you must be calm. She suddenly thought of Hao Tie again. He fought at the heart of the enemy. He had to deal with the Japanese and traitors every day, just like eating and drinking.

He is so calm.

You have to learn from him yourself.

She took off the pistol and threw it into the pit. She carefully covered it with grass ashes, smeared some pot ashes on her face and tore her hair loose.

"Dong...dong...dong..."

Sure enough, the enemy knocked on the door to check.

Zhang Jiejie went to check the news. As a big householder in Tuanjie Village, he was very familiar with the situation in the village.

After thinking for a while, Su Lan took out a handful of bills from her jacket, put them in the bag outside, and walked towards the door calmly.

Hao Tie gave the organization a lot of funds and also gave himself some money. He didn't want to give it up, but he criticized him in his letter.

The base areas have not yet severed ties with the government, so the major border areas have not yet begun to produce their own currency, and the common currency is still legal currency.

She calmed down at the door and opened the door.

There were four people at the door, a Japanese major, a translator, and two Japanese guards.

Seeing the rank of Major, Su Lan's heart skipped a beat. The Kagawa Japs were only captains, so how could there be a Major here?

There is only one explanation. The Japs are out in force this time and there are traitors.

She couldn't help but secretly worry about the leaders of the prefectural committee.

The translator wearing a melon cap saw that she was a peasant woman and said, "Where is Zhang Jie?"

"Haha, I'm a little disappointed."

Su Lan was complaining that she forgot to have a line with Zhang Jie. If the Japanese separated her from him for a trial, all the secrets would be exposed.

But Zhang Jie's voice rang out, and he rushed back at the critical moment.

He came to the door, stood sideways by the door, bent down and stretched out his arms to let him go into the courtyard. There was no hint of panic in his free and easy voice.

The translator asked half-seriously: "What does Mr. Zhang mean by barging the door in broad daylight?"

Zhang Jie glanced at Su Lan: "There is nothing we can do about it. My girl has typhoid fever, which is contagious to others, so we have to close the door!"

Pointing to the empty courtyard, "Taijun, you see, because of my sister's illness, my mother-in-law and children have all returned to their parents' home for fear of being infected!"

Upon hearing that Su Lan had typhoid fever, several enemies took a few steps back at the same time.

Looking at Su Lan again, her face was gray and black, her hair was messy, and her eyes were a little dull.

Japanese officer Ito looked at Zhang Jie, wrote a few words to the translator, waved his hand, and two guards stepped inside, loudly speaking in stiff Chinese dialect: "Look for me on the eighth route."

"Taijun said that he wants you to search every house. The guerrillas may have come to hide in this village."

"No problem, I will lead the way, and the girl will open the way quickly, so as not to infect Taijun."

Zhang Jie's expression was so normal that Su Lan was a little moved when he saw it. Although it was just a few simple scenes and a few dialogue snippets, it would not have been possible to achieve such an effect without hard training in private.

As expected, the enemies did not have the slightest suspicion. When Su Lan left, she handed the bills in her bag to Zhang Jie.

This action was so natural and there was no concealment at all. When the translator saw it, his eyes immediately lit up.

The guards walked around, and sure enough, there was no one else except Su Lan. Seeing Su Lan enter the room and lie down on the bed, Zhang Jie felt relieved and put the note in his hand into the translator's hand without thinking.

"Haha, Taijun, the translator, I came here to treat you to a cup of tea, but there are patients now, so we can only do it in the future, so I won't invite you to sit in the room."

He spoke very seriously. The translator nodded and turned around to mutter a few words to the major. The major looked at the note and saw that it was a large amount. He was also satisfied and waved forward.

"If you are a good citizen, if you see the Eighth Route Army, report it immediately."

"It's a job for good people, but it's a job for bad guys."

"Yoshi."

The Japanese Major was very satisfied with Zhang Jie's answer and called the guards.

"Keep clearing the way."

Zhang Jie pulled the translator, quietly took off the gold ring from his finger, shook it gently, and placed it in his palm.

"Ha, Mr. Zhang, please be careful. The entire village has been completely surrounded. All roads from here to Yunzhong Mountain have been completely blocked. To prevent these bad guys from being trapped and fighting, don't leave the village easily. If there is a fight, don't worry about it.

You are."
