The Dragon Boat Festival was taken to the backyard of the landlord's house.
It turns out that all Chinese people were imprisoned here.
The landlord's house was so big that three acres of the yard covered about ten acres of land, and there were countless houses in it.
It's a pity that these houses were all occupied by the little devils at this time. After the landlord's housekeeper was killed, the landlord's family was also imprisoned with other villagers.
This is a large warehouse used by landowners to pile farm tools. Even some damaged farm tools are placed here.
Therefore, it is not without reason that the landlord's family has money. Even the damaged farm tools have to wait for the blacksmith master to come to the village to repair them before they can be used by the tenant farmers.
Of course, Duanwu, Lao Shen and others were not locked up with these people. Instead, they were locked up in a gatehouse in the same courtyard as more than a hundred Chinese people.
However, it is not considered to be a detention, they are just allowed to watch the Chinese people here instead of other Japanese soldiers, while the little Japanese soldiers have withdrawn.
In other words, the Japanese Major really regarded Duanwu and others as his own, otherwise he would not have done this and imprisoned Duanwu and others with the restless Chinese.
But the kid took away all the keys to the warehouse door. Maybe this was a double insurance policy.
But no matter what, the little devils are all gone, and there is not even a sentry.
Perhaps the little Japs were afraid that the sentries would be detected by the enemy, so they were very careful.
Duanwu asked two soldiers dressed as Japanese soldiers to guard the door, while he and Lao Shen went to the warehouse to take a look.
Dragon Boat Festival just heard the little devil say that people are locked up in the warehouse. Then there is no mistake. Everyone should be there.
But when I walked to the warehouse door, I found that the door was locked. It was the old copper lock.
Lao Shen said: "Comrade Duanwu, there is a lock on top. Why don't we go to the side and see if we can get out?"
Duanwu smiled and said: "It's impossible for the little devil to leave any holes for the people inside. So we have to rely on this."
As he said that, Duanwu took out a piece of copper from somewhere, as if it had been removed from something.
Lao Shen recalled something. He remembered that Dragon Boat Festival had just pulled something off a wooden box. It should be something like angle iron.
Old Shen said in surprise: "Comrade Duanwu, you don't want to use this thing to open the lock, do you?"
Duanwu smiled and said: "Locks are meant to prevent gentlemen from villains. As long as we take a copper piece or something hard and insert it into it, won't it open?"
With that said, the copper lock has been opened by Dragon Boat Festival.
Lao Shen's eyes widened and he was a little confused. He didn't expect that the lock was so easy to open. He only needed to push the copper piece in and it would open.
Duanwu smiled, then slowly opened the door, and then he saw a room full of people turning around at this time, and then looking at him with faces that wanted to kill him.
Because they were watching a few people digging holes.
Obviously these people also knew that if they stayed here any longer, they would die, so they were preparing to dig holes and escape.
But at this moment, Duanwu and Lao Shen came in, and the common people felt that they were exposed. So they were worried and prepared to fight Duanwu and Lao Shen. At this time, the fat and big-eared landlord, Lao Cai, picked up a shovel.
, looking like he was about to fight.
But in the next second, the landlord Lao Cai's legs gave way and he knelt on the ground, crying: "Imperial army, spare your life, they are the ones who are planning to escape, they have nothing to do with me!"
"Sigh, landlords and old wealth are indeed unreliable."
The other young man holding a rake spat. He was a long-term worker for the landlord. It was because the Japanese saw that he had no fighting ability that they survived.
But he was not interested in the rich landlord. Every day, the rich landlord thought about how to use him in vain, or thought of ways to make him work more every day.
There is a rule in the landowner Lao Cai's house that when the chickens are up, the long-term workers have to get up. When it is too dark, the long-term workers can only go to bed when the dogs sleep.
And the most hateful thing is that this rich landlord would go to the chicken coop at three o'clock in the middle of the night. When the chicken crows, the long-term workers have to get up to work.
And in order to keep the dog from sleeping? The landlord, the old man, gave the dog the remaining ginseng tea he drank.
After drinking ginseng tea, the dog's eyes lit up and he felt energetic.
And if the dogs don’t sleep, the long-term workers will naturally not be able to sleep either.
So these long-term workers hated this rich landlord.
However, although the landlord and the rich man were hateful, they were not guilty enough to be beheaded, so these long-term workers only spoke cruelly but did not take action at all.
But for little devils, that's a different story.
A long-term worker picked up a nine-tooth rake and headed towards the Dragon Boat Festival. Even if Duan Wu explained, it was of no use. The long-term worker was sure that the Dragon Boat Festival was a Japanese and the old Shen next to him was a traitor.
I just didn't expect that at this moment, a woman suddenly shouted: "Don't do anything, we are one of our own."
This sentence made the young long-term worker dodge. Because the words of the man behind him had weight. Although he had not lived in the village for long, he was well-known in the village.
Of course, it's not because she is so good-looking, but because she is fierce. Even fierce people are afraid of her when they look at her.
At the same time, Duanwu heard this person's voice very familiar, and looked along the person's voice, but saw an old lady in her thirties, wearing a flowered jacket and an apron. And there.
Next to her stood a middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and a stooped figure.
Duanwu said in surprise: "Sun Erniang, Zhang Qing? Why are you here?"
These two people knew each other in the Dragon Boat Festival. They were the boss and the proprietress of Yunlai Inn in Shamadian.
When we were in Shamadian, we cooperated with the Dragon Boat Festival to poison and kill many little Japanese. Later, after the battle was won, those Jianghu people could not stand the restraint of the army, so they all left one by one.
And Sun Erniang and Zhang Qing are one of the couples.
At this time, when Sun Erniang saw that the other party recognized her, she became even more certain that it was Duanwu. After all, the two had not seen each other for several months. Moreover, Duanwu was wearing Japanese clothes.
Therefore, Sun Erniang just vaguely felt that the Japanese officer looked like the Dragon Boat Festival, so she spoke to stop the young chief worker.
And the result is true.
Sun Erniang and Zhang Qing immediately said with joy: "Sir Dragon Boat Festival, why are you here? This Gangcheng Village is full of ghosts now."
Duanwu smiled and said: "It's because of the Japs that I came here. By the way, why are you here?"
Sun Erniang smiled awkwardly and then said: "Last time we separated from the chief, we actually had nowhere to go. After discussing with my wife, it would be better to live in seclusion. Zhang Qing had a relative in Gangcheng Village, so we came here.
Now, I am helping the cook at Zhang Baifa's house, and my life is quite comfortable."
At this point, Sun Erniang pointed, and it turned out to be the old wealthy landlord who was kneeling on the ground just now!
