Tang Cheng and others, together with Li Changshun's guerrillas, successfully rescued the people captured by the Japanese army. This was considered as fulfilling the promise Tang Cheng made when exchanging carts, mules and horses with Dai Yan. Regarding Dai Yan's retention, Tang Cheng
He refused directly. After all, he was also a dignified captain of the national army. How could he stay in Daijiazhuang and join the guerrillas? Unable to bear Dai Yan's enthusiasm to persuade him to stay, Tangcheng and the others finally stayed in Daijiazhuang for one night.
The next day, we left Daijiazhuang early the next day and headed to Sandu Town.
If they want to continue to go south along the Xiushui River, Sandu Town is the only way for Tang Cheng and others to pass through. With the three guides from Daijiazhuang leading the way, Tang Cheng and the others don’t have to worry about taking the wrong path. Sandu Town is originally a place where
It is a small mountain town, and the Japanese army has not yet reached here, so the town seems quite peaceful. Tang Cheng and others, who were nestled in the cart, followed Dai Yan into the town on horseback. It was still morning, and the streets were deserted and deserted at all.
Several people stepped on the road paved with bluestone slabs, and the sound of horse hoofbeats echoed. Tang Cheng on the cart looked around habitually. Although Sandu Town is a mountainous town, the streets are
It is very clean, and the roads in the town are all paved with bluestones of the same color.
Sandu Town is not big, and there is only one main street. There is a tall archway in the middle of the street. According to the three guides, this archway was from the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, because a widow in the town had guarded it for her husband for twenty years.
The widow, the chastity memorial arch gifted by the emperor. From a distance, they saw a stall selling snacks on the roadside in front of them. Liu Shitou and Hou San in the cart couldn't walk, and looked longingly at the mouth of the stall.
The steaming cauldron is full of saliva.
Tang Cheng glanced at the small stall following the gaze of Liu Shitou and others, and then said with a smile, "Let's go and eat something. Once you're full, everything will go well." Tang Cheng patted Lao Dongbei lightly, and the latter
He jumped out of the cart and took the reins. The mule pulling the cart moved its hooves "tat-tat-tat" and pulled the cart toward the food stall. As soon as the diners at the food stall saw a group of soldiers riding in the cart, they immediately
He stood up, threw a few money on the table and turned around, regardless of whether he finished eating or not.
"Hey, hey, your glutinous rice balls are coming out of the pot now, don't leave." The stall owner was taking the dumplings out of the pot with a spoon. When he saw that the diners who wanted glutinous rice balls were about to leave, he quickly stopped him. When he looked up, he was just in time to see.
When a group of people arrived in Tangcheng, the stall owner immediately changed his words with a smile on his face, "Hey, here are some bosses, everyone has a bowl of glutinous rice balls to try. My glutinous rice balls are an ancestral craft. When Emperor Qianlong went to Jiangnan
Yukou personally tasted it when he was a child. It was fresh, soft and glutinous, and left a fragrance in his mouth. This is what Emperor Qianlong said about my ancestor's glutinous rice balls." This boss is indeed very experienced in business, and it doesn't matter whether people come here for his glutinous rice balls.
What comes out is a very skillful speech, and I wish I could talk about his family's glutinous rice balls.
Tangcheng and Laodongbei, who jumped off the cart, didn't care so much. The big man sat down at the table first, and Tangcheng had already scooped up a glutinous rice ball from the steaming pot with a spoon and blew it with his mouth.
"Has that old Tatar Qianlong eaten your glutinous rice balls? I just heard that Qianlong came to Jiangnan, but I didn't say that Qianlong had ever been to your Sandu town." Tan Fei adjusted his glasses out of habit.
Then he asked slowly. As a college student from Peiping, Tan Fei was not surprised at all to know that Qianlong went to Jiangnan.
As soon as Tan Fei said these words, the glutinous rice dumpling seller was stunned. He accidentally dropped his spoon into the pot and quickly reached out to retrieve it, but was scalded by the pot of boiling water. "Ouch", the stall owner raised his hand
He stretched himself into a bucket of cold water to cool down. The story he just said was just made up. He didn't know the story of Qianlong's voyage to the south of the Yangtze River.
Tang Cheng, who was the first to sit at the table, managed to blow the glutinous rice balls in the soup spoon so that they were not too hot. He put it into his mouth and took a bite. Suddenly, he heard Tan Fei's address to Qianlong. "Pfft"
In one bite, the glutinous rice balls he just bit into his mouth sprayed onto the table, and then he blushed and coughed repeatedly. Tan Fei looked at the two people's reactions inexplicably, not only him, but also Liu Shitou who got off the cart later.
Dice and others also couldn't figure out what the boss selling glutinous rice balls and Tangcheng eating dumplings meant. "What's wrong with our company commander? He doesn't eat properly. What kind of hysteria is this?" Dice came closer and asked in a low voice.
Tan Fei.
"What? Did I say it wrong? The late Prime Minister Sun once said: Drive out the Tartars and give us back China. The Tartars to be expelled are the Manchu and Qing Tatars. Qianlong was the emperor of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. What is he if he is not a Tartar?
." Seeing Tang Cheng's weird smile, Tan Fei, who didn't care, held his neck and argued. Hey, Tang Cheng, who sprayed the glutinous rice balls all over the table, was surprised. Then he turned his face and stared at Tan Fei carefully. It seemed that he was not.
I understood how this guy with a nerdy look on his face could know so much. The glutinous rice dumpling seller stared for a while and then stopped talking. He didn't know what to say to refute Tan Fei.
Seeing Tang Cheng just looking at him without making a sound, Tan Fei felt so proud that he raised his head and looked at Tang Cheng out of the corner of his eye, and then glanced at the stall owner. The sense of superiority of a cultural man filled his heart.
"How did this guy come up with such virtue?" Tan Fei's proud look was noticed by Old Dongbei. The puzzled Old Dongbei asked Tang Cheng, but the latter just shook his head with a smile and did not speak.
Talk. "Expelling the Tartars and returning China to China" was put forward by Dr. Zhongshan in his early years, with the intention of awakening the people across the country and overthrowing the feudal and decadent rule of the Qing Dynasty. Tangcheng heard Xie Bo, who was born in Huangpu, say this sentence. Of course
Then we know the origin and intention of this sentence.
"I won't talk to you anymore. You won't understand if I talk too much." Faced with Lao Dongbei's questioning, Tang Cheng just waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to continue talking about this matter with Lao Dongbei. "Everyone will have a bowl of glutinous rice balls, and use
Big bowl." Tang Cheng ignored what was going on between Tan Fei and the dumpling boss. He first asked the others to sit down, and then called the embarrassed dumpling boss to start cooking the dumplings. The fragrant and glutinous dumplings were very similar to Tang Cheng's.
However, the old Northeastern man from Baishan and Heishui was not very interested in this kind of glutinous rice dumplings. He only ate two and gave the rest to Fatty Ma, who couldn't eat anything.
"If the boss doesn't like my glutinous rice balls, there is a wonton vendor on the corner of the street. They have wontons and fermented glutinous rice, and the fermented fermented glutinous rice balls taste good." Seeing that Lao Dongbei didn't like his glutinous rice balls, the stall owner immediately accompanied him.
With a smile on his face, he recommended the wontons on the street corner to Lao Dongbei. When the stall owner said that there were wontons here, Lao Dongbei immediately became energetic and took Liu Shitou, who was very interested, to find the wonton stall on the corner. Knowing that Liu Shitou was still a child at heart, Tang Dongbei
Cheng didn't stop him, he just asked Liu Shitou to pay the glutinous rice balls debt in advance and ignored the two people walking to the corner arm in arm.
After eating a large bowl of hot glutinous rice balls, everyone felt warm immediately. Especially Huang Chengzhong and the others who were injured felt a lot more comfortable. A large group of soldiers gathered at a small stall to eat.
The fair-skinned people who passed by here could not help but look here, but no one had the courage to come over to eat glutinous rice balls. After finishing the glutinous rice balls, Tang Cheng and the others did not leave, but sat at the stall waiting for Lao Dongbei and Liu Shitou.
When they came back, after waiting for a long time, they still didn't turn around, so Tang Cheng had to ask a guide to take Hou San there to look for them.
In a short time, Hou San and the guide ran back from the other end of the street, and Hou San's face didn't look very good. "It seems that Shitou and the others were taken away by the police in the town. I heard that
The wonton seller said the police were catching deserters." After hearing Hou San's words, Tang Cheng frowned. Lao Dongbei looked reckless, but Tang Cheng knew that Lao Dongbei was a careless and careful guy, and he had been eating it since he was a child.
Liu Shitou, who grew up in Baijiafan, is very good at reading people's faces. These two people will never complain to any local people. Is it really the police here who are catching deserters? If that is the case, this matter will be simple.
He learned from the stall owner that the police in Sandu Town were under the control of the town government, and most of the police were stationed in the town government compound. Tang Cheng immediately called everyone to go straight to the town government compound in Sandu Town. According to the stall owner
Following the instructions, Tangcheng and the others took a cart and headed south along North Street. Not far away, they saw a large courtyard. There were two opposite red-painted gates in the courtyard, and a long white-painted wooden sign hung on the right side of the gate.
It read in big bold letters, "National Government, Sandu Town Government, Xiushui County." Two uniformed policemen stood guarding the door of the town government.
Tangcheng Xianyang, who jumped off the cart, looked up at the sign at the door of the yard, then stepped up the steps and walked into the yard. The two policemen on guard obviously did not expect that a group of soldiers would attack the town government.
Tang Cheng and others were already on the steps and were stunned. The two policemen reached out to stop Tang Cheng and asked in surprise, "You guys, what's the matter with you?"
The two policemen asked hesitantly. Now is the time of war with the Japanese. The power of the army is undoubtedly huge. The local government would never dare to offend the army during the war. Whatever the army wants to do, they can directly do it themselves.
It's done. It's rare for soldiers to come to government departments to do business. The two policemen really felt a little strange looking at these soldiers, especially Huang Chengzhong and the others, who looked like soldiers.
"Let me ask you, did you just capture two soldiers?" Just because he doesn't kill people doesn't mean he will be polite to others, especially when Tang Cheng is as anxious as if he's on fire. In his eyes, these two policemen are on fire.
Not as good as a wooden stake. Why is this man talking like this? The police are usually a very respected profession in the town. If there is a thief or something, they will run away as soon as they see the police. Today these people obviously did not put the police in
In their eyes, the two policemen were about to get angry. When they saw that Hou San's hand had already touched the handle of the gun, the policemen immediately fell silent.
