Yumei and Yanni went home and took the luggage they had prepared, then returned to the pine forest and rode a carriage to the county town with Cui Xiuxiu who was waiting there.
In the evening, when the carriage approached the checkpoint in the south of the city, Yumei asked to walk to the county seat on the pretext that the carriage was inconvenient to drive in the city.
After the three women got off the bus, Wangwang changed direction and went back the same way.
On normal days, the security at the checkpoint is not very strict. When he saw three beautiful women approaching, the fake sentinel had nothing to do and hurriedly stood in front of them to interrogate them.
Cui Xiuxiu used the excuse to visit Captain Tomita and tried to deceive the fake sentry.
The pseudo-sentinel looked at the pretty young woman and asked Cui Xiuxiu what the relationship was with Captain Tomita.
Cui Xiuxiu's face turned red and she said shyly: "Look at this big brother, what you said makes me so embarrassed. What can I say? Even if you are his goddaughter,"
Seeing Cui Xiuxiu's shy appearance, the fake sentry immediately understood something, so he deliberately teased: "Sister, it's not my brothers who can't believe it. If an assassin is let in, no one can bear the responsibility. You can only use evidence to make empty claims." Only then can it be released,”
This sentence made Cui Xiuxiu dumbfounded and she couldn't think of any evidence to produce.
Looking at Cui Xiuxiu's embarrassment, the pseudo-sentinel laughed secretly and said: "Sister, let's be honest. Just because you are here for Captain Tomita, the situation is complicated and quite serious. If you can't produce evidence, you can only Arrest you and torture you,"
The bluff of the pseudo-sentinel actually scared Cui Xiuxiu and said: "Brother, if you don't believe it, why don't you rush over and ask him yourself?"
The pseudo-sentinel said: "The imperial army has recently stipulated that anyone who asks to see the imperial army must provide evidence in person. Anyone without evidence will be regarded as an assassin and will be arrested and imprisoned."
Cui Xiuxiu was restrained by the fake sentry again, so she asked like she was crying: "Brother, please explain to my sister clearly what can be considered as evidence."
The fake sentinel smiled slyly: "Girls can be considered honest. Big brother kindly reminds me that if there is no written evidence, you can also find evidence from the other party. For example, is there any mark on Captain Tomita's body?"
The sentry's words really reminded Cui Xiuxiu: "Brother, I remember, Captain Tomita has a boil as big as an egg on his buttocks. This can be considered evidence."
The fake sentinel laughed loudly, and after laughing, he said three arithmetic words one after another.
Looking at Yumei and Yanni, both girls were so embarrassed by Cui Xiuxiu that they couldn't even lift their heads.
After passing the checkpoint soon, Cui Xiuxiu suggested finding a place to stay first.
Yumei said: "Second Aunt, Yanni and I rarely come to the county town. You decide where to live."
In Cui Xiuxiu's memory, the last time she came to the county town to make clothes, there was a hotel not far from the tailor shop, so she managed to get there with great difficulty.
Yumei subconsciously glanced at the door number, and it turned out to be the Haoke Hotel.
After registering for the guest room, the three women went up to the second floor. Yanni volunteered to share a room with Cui Xiuxiu, while Yumei lived alone in a room next door.

After breakfast the next day, Yumei excused herself to go to Songshuling and took a rickshaw to Xianghe Hotel.
After talking with Stationmaster Li and his wife, Stationmaster Li ordered Ma Xiaoyue to call the waiter into the counting room.
Following stationmaster Li's instructions, the waiter immediately notified Hancun Traffic Point, arranged for the local militia to be responsible for arresting Huang San, and asked the traffic officer to come to Xianghe Hotel quickly to accept the specific arrangements.
The border between Hancun and the county town is only Sanhuali away.
Finally, Station Commander Li told Yumei that most of the members of the plainclothes team were hooligans, dandy men, and loyal lackeys carefully selected by the Japanese. They had caused huge losses to the people of Qiaonan in the war of resistance. They must not be merciful to these heinous traitors. Once they succeed, , and no one will be left alive, otherwise the consequences will be endless.
In order to prove that she had been to Songshuling until almost noon, Yumei returned to the Haoke Hotel from the Xianghe Hotel.
From the moment Yumei left the Haoke Hotel, Yanni has been staying in the room with Cui Xiuxiu, firstly to monitor Cui Xiuxiu, and secondly to find out how honest Cui Xiuxiu is.
During the conversation, Yumei pushed open the door and walked in. Yanni asked if anyone was coming to Songshuling.
Yumei said that she would arrive before noon.
Cui Xiuxiu said: "Yumei, now that things have happened, I have to say something. Most of the Japanese in the plainclothes team know me. If I report it to Futian, not only will I not be able to see Huang San, but the whole thing will be ruined."
When Yumei heard this, she couldn't help but shudder: "Second Aunt, why didn't you say this to Xiao Qin? You've already arrived here, what's the use of it?"
Cui Xiuxiu sighed and explained: "Yumei, please don't misunderstand me. I planned to say it in front of Xiao Qin, but I was afraid that Xiao Qin would blame the second aunt for being insincere, so I couldn't say it."
Yanni said: "Aunt Xiu, the lives of Yumei and I are in your hands. It's useless to say anything right now. You can think of a way yourself."
Cui Xiuxiu said: "There is a way. Go to Zuichun Tower to find Xiao Yingtao and ask her to give Huang San a message. Yingying sister is very familiar with the plainclothes team. If she can come forward, she may be able to help a lot."
Yumei asked: "What does Xiaoying do? How do you know her?"
After listening to Yumei's inquiry, Cui Xiuxiu's eyes were fixed and she took a long time to answer.
Little Cherry is a fireworks woman and a flower in Zuichun Tower.
After the battle at Jiachahe, Tomita Ryohei had nothing to do because his left arm was injured, so on a whim, he instructed Huang San to rush to Heya Village and ask Cui Xiuxiu to go to the county seat.
As early as the day he met Cui Xiuxiu, Huang San had an appetite for stealing, but he was unable to do so because there was no suitable opportunity.
A few days later, Huang San was ordered by Futian to escort Cui Xiuxiu home. Taking this opportunity, Huang San used both soft and hard tactics to ask Cui Xiuxiu to continue to stay in the county seat.
Fearing that the news would be exposed and he would be questioned by Tomita Ryohei, Huang Sanxian went to Zuichun Tower to find Xiao Yingtao, and placed Cui Xiuxiu in Xiao Taingo's private house.
In this way, Cui Xiuxiu met Xiaoying.

At noon, there were knocks on the door outside the guest room.
Yanni opened the door, and two middle-aged men rushed into the room, as cold as ice.
The visitor introduced himself and found that they were from the Songshuling guerrillas, one with the surname of Lu and the other with the surname of Jiang, and they came to carry out the task of capturing Huang San.
After Yumei explained the reason, Lao Lu instructed Yanni to accompany Cui Xiuxiu to Zuichun Tower, and entrusted Little Cherry to make an appointment with Huang San to meet Cui Xiuxiu.
Zuichun Tower faces south and faces north, adjacent to Yuming Teahouse on the left and right, with only a few shops in between.
It was not long, and Yanni walked into Zuichun Tower alone.
Cui Xiuxiu continued to move forward and went straight to the Yuming Teahouse.
There were not many guests in Zuichun Building at this time. Most of the ladies were sitting around the round table in the center of the reception room, drinking tea and chatting boredly.
When they saw a pretty girl approaching, the ladies all agreed that this was another pheasant.
In the local flower and willow industry, people in the industry jokingly call those itinerant ladies pheasants.
Because these pheasants are used to fighting guerrillas, many clients are attracted by their new faces, and are deeply jealous and hated by the ladies in the industry.
Although Yanni was embarrassed inside, she looked generous on the outside. She approached the front desk and took the initiative to chat with the madam.
Out of professional habit, the madam also asked Yanni if she came to Zuichunlou to solicit business.
Yanni explained shyly that she was Xiaotao's aunt and cousin, and because Taoying was well known in the county town, she was asked to get medicine for her old aunt.
Upon hearing this, the Madam chattered uninterestedly, "Little Cherry had done a lot of work in the morning and looked a little tired. She was resting in the room."
Yanni agreed and went straight to the second floor.
Carefully opening the door of Little Cherry's room, I saw Little Cherry sleeping in a daze. After being woken up by Yanni, she sat up naked in shock.
Yanni introduced herself and then said that Cui Xiuxiu was waiting at Yuming Teahouse.
After busy putting on her coat, Xiaoying simply opened the quilt and pulled up her large and small pants one by one.
After going downstairs and passing by the front desk, Xiaoying followed Yanni's introduction and greeted the madam, telling her that her aunt was seriously ill and she and her cousin were going to get some medicine together.
In Zui Chun Tower, Little Cherry is both a signboard and a money tree. No matter what happens, the madam will always give it a try.
After walking out of Zuichun Tower, Yanni asked Xiao Yingtao how old she was, and Xiao Yingtao said that she was exactly twenty years old.

A few minutes later, Cui Xiuxiu stood in front of the tea house door and welcomed Xiao Yingying and Yanni to the second floor.
Everyone took their seats in the private room. Cui Xiuxiu said: "Sister Cherry, I will accompany my cousin to pick up herbs for my aunt, so that I can come to the county to visit you."
Xiaoying said: "Since I think highly of my sister, it means that we are destined, thank you Sister Xiu,"
Cui Xiuxiu continued: "Sister Cherry, I have something to ask you for a favor. While you have some time, go to the plainclothes team to find Huang San and ask him to come to the teahouse to meet."
Upon hearing that Cui Xiuxiu had made an appointment to meet Huang San, Xiao Yingtao smiled slyly: "What a meeting, isn't that? Just say it."
Cui Xiuxiu's cheeks turned red: "Cherry, don't talk nonsense in front of my cousin. I'm meeting Huang San today. I really have something serious to do."
Little Cherry suddenly complained: "Since I have something to do, why did you come here now? That bird just crawled out of my sister's bed, and it only took half an hour."
Cui Xiuxiu was speechless for a moment and smiled bitterly.
Little Cherry slowly sipped her tea: "Sister Xiu, you and Huang San are old friends, wouldn't it be better to go by yourself?"
Cui Xiuxiu said: "It's not like you don't know. There are all the Japanese there who don't know each other. If I report it to Futian, it won't be a good thing. I'm lucky if I don't die."
Little Cherry nodded, stood up, said hello, and walked out of the private room leisurely.
Coincidentally, the rickshaw Xiaotao was riding in reached the southern section of Yanzi Street and caught up with Huang San riding his bicycle from the Japanese base camp.
After a brief conversation on the side of the road, Little Cherry took a rickshaw back to Yuming Teahouse.
According to the message sent by Xiaoyingtao, Huang San only had time after four o'clock in the afternoon, and agreed with Cui Xiuxiu to continue meeting at Yuming Teahouse.
Cui Xiuxiu wanted to invite Little Cherry to have lunch with her. Little Cherry said that she only took on a few jobs yesterday, and they were all in time after lunch today. With her finger in the ring, she had no free time at all.
When Little Cherry said goodbye, Cui Xiuxiu warned her again: "Sister Cherry, when you meet with Huang San this time, you must keep it a secret. Once Futian finds out, you will have to skin her even if you die."
Little Cherry didn't speak much and only answered three words: "Don't worry,"
Back at the Haoke Hotel, Yanni told the whole process of dating Huang San.
After listening to Yanni's report, Lao Lu decided to go back to Songshu Ridge first to prepare for the arrest of Huang San.
Before leaving, Lao Lu specially told Yumei that after meeting Huang San, no matter what the outcome was, she must go to Songshu Ridge to report the situation.
