Qi Ying sympathized with Marsh Village, which had suffered heavy damage from Japanese invasion, and understood that the villagers had no choice but to choose to build a village on swamp land.

He did not expect that his father would save the villagers of Swamp Village and become a great hero in their hearts. Coincidentally, he would fall from a high altitude and fall into this village.

He sighed and said: "I didn't expect that my father and Swamp Village have such a deep relationship."

Qi Ying saw that Ding He's family was very sad after talking about the past, so he stopped asking about the past and comforted Mrs. Ding He and said, "Aunt, don't think too much about the sad past."

Ding He also consoled him: "Madam, let's eat first. Our great benefactor's son has entered the village. This is a great thing."

Ding Xiang took out a handkerchief to wipe her mother's tears. Mrs. Ding He took it and wiped her tears and said, "I'm too sad and it affects everyone's mood."

Ding Xiang comforted: "Mom, don't be sad anymore."

Ding He picked up his chopsticks and said, "Today is a happy day. I don't want to worry about the past. Let's all eat."

The four of them stopped talking and ate dinner. Ding Xiang helped Qi Ying pick up vegetables from time to time, with a sweet smile on her face.

Qi Ying's wound has recovered and he can walk freely. He wants to help Ding He do some farm work and asks to drive the ducks.

Ding He said: "If you want to drive ducks, you must first learn to walk on the swamp. I asked Ding Xiang to teach you how to walk on long board shoes first."

Lilac said happily: "I will teach my brother to walk in the swamp and take him to catch ducks together."

Mrs. Ding He said with concern: "Okay, you guys come back soon."

Ding Xiang took out a pair of the longest wooden shoes for Qi Ying to put on. These long wooden shoes were made of wooden boards and the soles were three feet long.

Qi Ying put on a long board shoe on her left foot and tried it. She felt uncomfortable in her legs and feet and asked, "Lilac sister, are there any shorter board shoes? These shoes are a bit long."

Ding Xiang waved her hands and said: "You are learning to walk in the swamp for the first time. You cannot wear wooden shoes that are too short. If they are too short, you will easily get stuck in the quagmire."

"Okay," he put on his long sneakers with her help.

He was not used to walking in these long sneakers at first and almost fell down before taking two steps.

Ding Xiang giggled happily and helped him to teach him to walk, saying: "Don't let the two shoes touch each other when walking, otherwise they will easily get caught and fall."

Qi Ying followed her guidance and slowly walked steadily, thanking you: "Thank you, Ding Xiangmei, if you hadn't taught me, I would have fallen to the ground several times."

Ding Xiang smiled sweetly and said:

"My brother didn't get used to it the first time. He will get used to it after walking a few times."

She helped him off the balcony. Qi Ying stepped on the soft swamp ground. Although his legs did not sink, his body was unstable and was about to fall.

Ding Xiang supported him and taught him how to walk on the swamp, and said sweetly: "It's more difficult to walk on the swamp with long board shoes. You have to look straight ahead and not be afraid, but you can stand firm."

He was looking straight ahead without any distractions and unknowingly stood firm. Ding He helped him take the first step and stood firm again.

Qi Ying said happily: "Oh, I can really walk on the swamp."

Ding Xiang chuckled and said, "What the hell, we villagers can run on the swamp."

Qi Ying sighed: "The villagers are amazing, but I am still far from running."

Ding Xiang smiled sweetly and said, "It will become faster once you get used to walking."

Qi Ying learned Qing Gong, and after practicing it for a long time, she was able to walk on the swamp without Ding Xiang's support.

Ding Xiang admired: "You are so amazing, you learned to walk on the swamp in just half a day."

Qi Ying smiled and said: "I know Qing Gong, so I can learn it quickly, otherwise I would have to practice for several days."

Ding Xiang looked at him with an innocent smile and asked, "That's great. I'm going to catch ducks in the afternoon. Will you go with me?"

Qi Ying said in surprise: "Go, why don't you go? I'm just going to practice walking."

After lunch, the two of them walked on the swamp.

The swamp was covered with water plants. Lilac waved her whip happily, making the ducks quack.

The breeze blew slowly, and a fresh, fragrant, and elegant earthy smell slowly blew from the swamp. The green water grass on the swamp rolled forward in green waves one after another.

The breeze gently blew their cheeks and hair, and blew their clothes.

Lilac was in a happy mood and sang a melodious song: "

Clouds only float in the sky,

Fish only swim in water;

Ask the gull and heron,

What do you want from flying around?

The small village is only in Marsh Ning,

Amei only lived in the village;

Ask the wanderer,

Where are you swimming to?"

Her beautiful singing voice floated over the empty swamp. Qi Ying felt comfortable listening to it and praised: "Lilac sister, your singing voice is so beautiful."

Ding Xiang was so happy that she smiled sweetly at Qi Ying, and her face turned red for no reason.

Let us say that after Xu Hai captured Taizhou City, he sent troops to attack Ninghai County.

The guard of Ninghai County was Jia Yin's guerrilla general Zhou Jia. He originally wanted to escape but was afraid of being punished by the court, so he always hesitated.

Zhao Wenhua sent a thousand officers and soldiers to support Ninghai County. Zhou Jia had no choice but to bite the bullet and stick to Ninghai County.

Xu Hai led 3,000 Japanese soldiers to attack Ninghai County. With equal forces, it was not easy to attack Ninghai County.

Xu Hai continued to adopt the tactic of surrounding three and missing one, and camped in front of the north gate, east gate and south gate of Ninghai County, and let go of the west gate to deliberately let the Ming soldiers escape.

Ninghai County was harassed by Xu Hai's six squatting tiger cannons every day, and Zhou Jia was used to it. He did not dare to abandon the city and escape, so he sent troops to focus on guarding the north gate, east gate and south gate. Only a few soldiers were left to guard the west gate.

Xu Hai's feint attack was very small at first, and then he gradually increased the intensity of his attack.

Zhou Jia felt more and more the pressure from the North Gate, the East Gate and the South Gate. She wondered in her mind, Xu Hai, don't you want to surround the three but one is missing? Do you want me to escape to the West Gate?

I will not run away, I will stick to it, and I will focus on defending the three gates you attack to make your scheme fail.

Zhou Jia transferred some of the officers and soldiers guarding the west gate to other city gates for reinforcement. He also moved the artillery at the west gate to other city gates.

After several deployments like this, there were fewer and fewer officers and soldiers guarding the west gate. All the defensive artillery was moved away.

Xu Hai saw that the number of Ming soldiers at Ximen had decreased a lot, and he knew that the Ming army garrison had been deceived.

That day, while it was still dark, Xu Hai assembled three battalions of Japanese soldiers at the west gate, a total of 3,000 people. He also brought two Franco machine guns.

He ordered the Japanese soldiers to secretly build a pontoon bridge on the moat. The sentry at the west gate had never been in a war and was used to being idle. He was napping on the tower and did not notice the enemy's situation.

When the sky was dark and bright, Xu Hai took advantage of the fact that the soldiers from the other three gates had no time to return to the west gate and launched a general attack on the west gate.

The Japanese soldiers carried ladders and stepped on the pontoon bridge and swarmed to the west gate wall, then set up ladders and climbed up to attack the city.

Some officers and soldiers discovered the enemy's situation and threw rocks and rained arrows to resist the Japanese army. The Japanese army's two Franco machine guns opened fire, and the shells bombarded the city wall so that the officers and soldiers did not dare to raise their heads.

Ximen's Ming soldiers were weak in defense and could not withstand the sudden attack of three thousand Japanese soldiers. The Japanese army attacked Ximen at the cost of losing more than 200 troops.

The Japanese soldiers opened the west gate, and Xu Hai led his troops to attack the city. The Japanese soldiers' morale was greatly boosted and they swarmed into the city.
