In the early morning, when the sky was dark, a huge fishing net covered Qiao Xingwang and Tang Xueyuan.

The two people in their sleep suddenly woke up and began to struggle fiercely. However, the more they struggled, the tighter the fishing net became around them.

"Caught, caught..."

Several children were jumping and applauding on the side, and a few adults were holding traps in their hands, looking at the two people covered by the fishing nets warily: "I saw you sneaking around last night, who are you?"

In early spring, the weather turns from warm to cold, especially at night, when the weather is extremely cold.

Tang Xueyuan's health was not very good. No matter how cold the weather was, he could persist for one or two nights.

But Qiao Xingwang had old injuries and was very weak, and could not bear the coldness invading his body at night.

Last night, they slept in the wild all night, and Qiao Xingwang felt that he had already seen the Lord of Hell in his sleep.

When night fell again, Qiao Xingwang insisted on finding a village to go in and rest for the night.

When the two people walked near the village, the dogs in the village smelled the stranger's scent and immediately started barking.

The two people, who were already sneaky, heard the barking of the dog and immediately lost their courage, fearing that the barking would attract the people who were hunting them.

Qiao Xingwang reluctantly found a haystack outside the village, and the two decided to sleep in the haystack for the night.

The barking of dogs woke up the people in the village. Someone immediately came out to check and saw two people picking up haystacks.

The young and old men in the village pretended to be brave and came out to check. They did not dare to confirm the identities of these two people and did not dare to alert the snake. They arranged for people to go to the town to inquire about the situation.

It was almost dawn when the people who went to the town came back and found out that some deserters had escaped from Pingcheng and the troops were searching for them.

When the villagers saw the two men sneaking around, they were probably deserters being hunted by the army, so they immediately decided to catch the two men first and send them to the town.

"We are here for business. We lost our way and stayed here for one night. Folks, we don't know where we disturbed you. We apologize to you."

Qiao Xingwang quickly lied about being a businessman and wanted to rush to Bingzhou City overnight, but he didn't expect to get lost in the middle of the night.

Although the villagers are simple, after two years of fighting against the Japanese army and the team's propaganda, their awareness of vigilance has become very high.

"A businessman? Where do you come from? Where do you plan to do business? What does it sound like? What is the relationship between you two?" The villagers asked several questions one after another.

"we are……"

Qiao Xingwang was about to answer the question, but was stopped by the villagers.

"Wait a minute, you two answer together. If the one who answers slowly is different from the two of you, he must be lying."

The joint defense of every village was originally intended to prevent the Japanese and puppet troops from sending scouts into the First Military Division to conduct reconnaissance for military intelligence.

Qiao Xingwang realized at this moment that this protection system was simply perfect.

Even if Qiao Xingwang and Tang Xueyuan answer the same question, the villagers will send them to the town. There are militia troops in the town, and the militiamen are more vigilant than the villagers.

After two interrogations, almost no one could withstand the interrogation.

Qiao Xingwang and Tang Xueyuan could only bite the bullet and say that they answered the first two questions with no problem. They came from Pingcheng and went to Bingzhou City.

But when asked what business they were doing, Qiao Xingwang said they were in the cotton business, but Tang Xueyuan said they were in the coal business.

The villagers tied them up and sent them to the town.

Qiao Xingwang and Tang Xueyuan, who had been on the run for two days, were caught by villagers and returned to Pingcheng in less than a day.

In the room, Qiao Xingwang's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. The old injuries on his body were becoming more and more serious after three days of suffering.

"Who told you to do this?"

Sitting opposite Qiao Xingwang was Zhao Zhiguo.

Zhao Zhiguo seemed to be asking questions calmly, but the anger in his heart was constantly burning.

"No one ordered it."

"You have to know that if you lie to me, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life." Zhao Zhiguo said.

"Is it necessary to lie about my physical condition? I just want to get some money so that I can have enough food and clothing for the rest of my life and find a better place to treat my injuries."

Qiao Xingwang's body was trembling, and the old injuries on his body were tormenting him.

"If you want to get treatment, you can tell me why you bully the people?" Zhao Zhiguo asked sternly.

"Hehehe..."

Qiao Xingwang sneered.

"why are you laughing?"

"Commander, I thought you were a proud man, but I never thought you could be so childish." Qiao Xingwang's face turned pale.

Despite a lot of physical discomfort, Qiao Xingwang still wanted to laugh at Zhao Zhiguo.

"What's the meaning?"

Zhao Zhiguo wanted to find out the reason why a deputy battalion commander who dared to fight the Japanese army on the battlefield lost his original intention in a more comfortable position.

Is it true that you can only stick to your beliefs when times are difficult? Once you feel comfortable, will your beliefs become bad?

"Commander, if you were injured like me, what kind of treatment would you receive? All the doctors in our defense area will treat you as soon as possible, using the best medicine, the best doctors, and the best nurses.

"Qiao Xingwang said, "Even if our defense area cannot be cured, the commander will give an order.

We will transfer you to the rear at once, or even send you abroad, no matter how long it takes, but what about us? What about the soldiers at the lower level? They are injured and tortured day and night, but they can't buy a single pill.

Even if you give them just one pill, they can relieve a lot of pain."

"You are presumptuous!" Yao Pengju said, slapping the table.

Zhao Zhiguo waved his hand and motioned for Yao Pengju to sit down: "So, you passed on your pain to ordinary people? They gave us their own money to feed us, drink for us, and clothe us. This is how you repay them

of?"

Zhao Zhiguo's words stopped Qiao Xingwang, and the room fell into silence.

"I'm asking you something, you beast!" Zhao Zhiguo raised his voice again.

"Commander, whatever you say."

Qiao Xingwang looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. He knew that what he had committed was a capital crime, and too many excuses could not change the result.

"You just want to cover up the selfishness in your heart. The purpose of making more people suffer is just to make yourself more comfortable!" Zhao Zhiguo said, "If every soldier in the Chinese army is just like you,

Think about yourself, the Japanese army has already destroyed our country and wiped out our species!"

The reason why China was able to persevere and keep going even when it was at its weakest was because there were a group of people who persisted in their beliefs and infected countless people around them with their actions, allowing them to move forward step by step with their beliefs.

"It was your selfishness that killed yourself!" Zhao Zhiguo said, "Originally, you could finish your life with glory, but now..."
