Chapter 414 Fang Muheng (asking for double monthly votes)
Xiao Ou looked at Fang Muheng, who was squatting in the corner holding a big black bowl, drinking millet porridge.
He really couldn't connect this man, who was wearing a green cloth coat with a dagger on his shoulders, squatting skillfully in the corner to drink porridge, with the identity of the eldest son of the Fang family in Shanghai.
The only thing that distinguishes Fang Muheng from others is that even though Mr. Fang is dressed in shabby clothes, he is still very clean.
Xiao Ou met Fang Muheng half a month ago.
He came to Yanzhou as a patriotic young man who believed in red. Xiao Ou, who was a dropout from primary school, was assigned to teach in a school in the town.
His daily task is to publicize in various villages and persuade farmers to send their children to school.
A five- or six-year-old child is already worth half of the labor force in a farm family. Therefore, most farmers are reluctant to let their children go to school:
Half of the labor is reduced, and it is said that the baby's appetite will increase after studying. This is not cost-effective.
Xiao Ou is a clever guy.
He lent his 'salary', a small bag of exactly ten kilograms of millet, to a farmer's family, and when he returned the grain, he had to say that he would lend the other party twelve kilograms of millet.
He also asked the other party to look at the note he wrote, pointed to the number on it and said, it was twelve pounds.
How can the farmer accept the extra two kilograms of millet for nothing?
However, the fingerprint was pressed by him, and it did say that he had borrowed twelve kilograms of millet, and he could not 'deny' it.
At this time, Xiao Ou tore up the IOU and said that he had indeed only lent ten kilograms of millet, and he had deliberately written it as twelve kilograms.
Just when everyone was shocked, Xiao Ou stepped forward and used this matter to persuade the farmers to allow their youngest son to study in the school.
"The baby knows a few words. At least he can write and count, so he won't be deceived."
"When we grow up, if my child is literate, he can become a teacher in the future, or find a job in the town." Xiao Ou pointed to himself, "Just like me."
Gan Erniu was deeply touched and sent his youngest son to school three days later and handed it over to Teacher Xiao Ou.
In this way, Xiao Ou became famous in one battle, and farmers sent their children to school one after another.
Everyone within a radius of twenty or thirty miles knew that a very capable school teacher had come to town.
…
Xiao Ou also became friends with Gan Erniu's family.
It was at Gan Erniu's house that he met Fang Muheng.
This is when the Soviet government evacuated some wounded soldiers to the town and gave them to fellow villagers to take care of them.
Xiao Ou heard that Gan Erniu's family also had a wounded soldier, so he thought of taking the opportunity to get in touch with him.
Then, he saw Fang Muheng, wearing a patched red military uniform, standing at the door of the cave dwelling, with a plaster bandage on one arm and a book in the other hand, looking attentively.
"Master Fang?" Xiao Ou exclaimed.
"Who are you?" Fang Muheng looked at the person in front of him in surprise.
Xiao Ou happily said that he was a patriotic young man who came to Yanzhou from Shanghai. One of his uncles sold sweet-scented osmanthus cakes near the "Shen Shen" newspaper office. He once went to see his uncle and met Master Fang Muheng who had bought sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in the past.
As the saying goes, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, not to mention knowing that the other person is a patriotic young man pursuing red ideas, Fang Muheng was very happy.
The two hit it off immediately.
Xiao Ou asked with concern how Fang Muheng was injured.
Fang Muheng was shot in the arm and suffered a penetrating injury. It was not too serious and he could just be taken care of.
The area around Yanzhou is not peaceful. There are local security groups of the National Government, landlord militia groups, and in some villages there are reactionary and superstitious armed "Gelaohui".
In particular, the National Party Affairs Investigation Office secretly established the "Red Redemption Volunteer Army", which entangled nearby bandits and often attacked Soviet government officials.
They did not dare to attack the red team, but the propaganda team frequently attacked the work team.
Fang Muheng's anti-Japanese propaganda team was attacked by bandits.
An anti-Japanese propagandist was killed.
Many comrades, including Fang Muheng, were injured.
Xiao Ou angrily denounced the shamelessness of the special agents of the National Party Affairs Investigation Department, and expressed his willingness to move closer to the red and follow Fang Muheng in publicizing his determination to resist Japan.
Fang Muheng was very happy and praised Teacher Xiao Ou for his patriotic enthusiasm and determination to resist Japan.
Ten days later, after confirming that Fang Muheng did not doubt him, Xiao Ou found an opportunity to send out the information.
…
Looking at the message in his hand, Wang Kangnian gritted his teeth. If Xiao Ou had been in front of him, he would have kicked him out.
This bastard was sent to Yanzhou. There was no news for so long, but he didn't expect to be alive.
The most unexpected thing is that this guy can't change his habit of telling people off by dictating messages!
"Team leader, I asked Grasshopper to send information in this tone." Xiao Si said.
Wang Kangnian looked at him.
He understood what Xiao Si meant. In this way, he could confirm whether the source of the information was Xiao Ou himself.
It turned out to be Fang Muheng!
Wang Kangnian showed a surprised expression.
Fang Muheng suddenly disappeared from Shanghai, and the fishing bait he thought he had "in the palm of his hand" disappeared.
Wang Kangnian will naturally not remain indifferent.
He sent his men to search and inquire, but there was no news about Fang Muheng.
The news from the Fang family is that Fang Muheng has gone abroad.
Unexpectedly, this person was actually in Yanzhou and joined the red armed forces.
"Captain of the Ninth Detachment of the Yanzhou Anti-Japanese Propaganda Brigade." Wang Kangnian glanced at the message.
This is Fang Muheng’s current job and job title.
According to the information reported by Xiao Ou, Fang Muheng is doing an outstanding job now and is also highly regarded in the Anti-Japanese Propaganda Brigade. It is said that many ordinary people, especially soldiers and students, like to listen to Captain Fang's speech.
Wang Kangnian was surprised.
When this fool arrived at the northwest headquarters of the Red Party, he felt like a fish in water?
In addition, the focus of Xiao Ou's intelligence was to show merit. He said that he had not only won the recognition of the local people and the Red Party local government, but most importantly, he had gained Fang Muheng's trust and had the opportunity to infiltrate Fang Muheng's anti-Japanese propaganda.
Brigade.
'This anti-Japanese propaganda team is highly valued by some senior leaders of the Red Party!'
In Wang Kangnian's eyes, this sentence was like a shot in the arm, making him inexplicably excited.
If what Xiao Ou said is true, then——
Wang Kangnian was breathing rapidly!
As expected, he had a keen eye for recognizing people and arranged for Xiao Ou to break into the Red Party's northwest headquarters in Yanzhou. Xiao Ou, codenamed "Grasshopper", did not disappoint him.
Wang Kangnian has great confidence and ambition in his heart!
Xiao Ou, no, to be precise, 'grasshopper', will become the most important trump card in his hand!
…
Yanzhou.
Fang Muheng walked side by side with a man in his thirties, wearing a red paraphernalia.
"Comrade Mu Heng, the information you provided is very valuable." Comrade Zheng Zhifang, an investigator from the Investigation Department of the Northwest Security Bureau, said with a serious expression.
"Is there any news feedback?" Fang Muheng asked.
"Yes, the Security Bureau visited other people who came to Yanzhou with Ou Xiaoshan, and found something strange. Everyone is not familiar with this person. They didn't know Ou Xiaoshan before setting off." Zheng Zhitong
said.
"Everyone comes from all over the world to pursue national liberation and the red cause. Most of them don't know each other. This is not surprising." Fang Muheng thought, "But it is strange that no one knows him.
"
"That's right." Zheng Zhicheng nodded, "This Ou Xiaoshan quickly became involved with everyone, so no one noticed this detail. But after arriving in Yanzhou, everyone spread out, and even more
No one will notice this detail anymore.”
With that said, Zheng Zhitong curiously asked Fang Muheng, "Comrade Muheng, where did you first sense that something was wrong with this person?"
"Pastry." Fang Muheng said, "What he said is wrong. The sweet-scented osmanthus cake sold near the Shanghai Shenbao Pavilion has always been a middle-aged woman. But once in a while, the middle-aged woman got sick, and her brother sold it.
Come and sell.”
"And this period happened to be the time when a comrade and I were targeted by the enemy." Fang Muheng turned on the kettle and took a sip of water. "So, I suspected that this person might be a spy."
"Comrade Mu Heng, you are so awesome." Zheng Zhifang gave a thumbs up to Fang Muheng.
Fang Muheng smiled bitterly in his heart:
That's the kind of embarrassment and despair that you have never seen me feel like a fool being played by the enemy and in the palm of my hand!
I just remember that experience very deeply!
"When I have the chance, I'll treat Comrade Zhi Yu to some sweet-scented osmanthus cake." Fang Muheng said with a smile, "The youngest of my three sisters especially likes to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake."
