Chapter 364: Big Sweep: Grain Collection and Catchment
"ah--!"
Shen Yue was so frightened that she closed her eyes, and then let out a shrill scream. Her mind went blank and she didn't know what she was thinking.
At this critical moment, a brick flew from a distance and hit a Japanese prisoner on the head with such force that he felt his head buzzing and the stars in front of his eyes kept shaking.
"Baga!" The Japanese soldier who was hit was furious. He looked up and found a little beggar turning the corner. He made a face at him before turning.
Turning from embarrassment to anger, several Japanese soldiers left Shen Yue with a whoop and chased the little beggar with their rifles.
Shen Yue's side suddenly became empty, but she still closed her eyes tightly and stood blankly beside the car, motionless.
Uncle Tian struggled to get up from the ground, covering the wound on his head that was hit by a forcible rifle butt, and stretched out his hand to push Shen Yue, "Miss, Miss, don't be in a daze, let's go quickly."
After being pushed by Uncle Tian, Shen Yue finally came to her senses. She was scared, so she hurriedly helped Uncle Tian get into the car, and then slammed the door.
The car immediately started moving and rushed forward along the street, leaving this place of right and wrong in a flash.
Out of danger, Shen Yue finally felt relieved. She felt that her heart was beating very hard. If measured, it would probably reach 120 beats per minute.
Only then did she start thinking. She hurriedly asked Uncle Tian, "Uncle Tian, who saved me just now?"
Uncle Tian smiled bitterly and said, "It was a little beggar who threw a brick from a distance and lured the Japanese away."
"So will the little beggar be in danger?" As soon as she was out of danger, Shen Yue started to care about the little beggar who saved her, "If the devil catches him, will he be in danger?"
Uncle Tian smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, miss, these beggars are all locals and they are familiar with each other. It will not be that easy for the devil to catch him!"
Hearing what Uncle Tian said, Shen Yue felt a little more at ease.
At this time, the car had turned onto the street where Shen's house was located, and in front of it was the gate of Shen's house.
When she arrived here, she could already see the stone lion at the door of her house. Shen Yue's heart finally settled, but at this moment, her brows frowned again.
Outside the gate of Shen's house, there were several sidecar motorcycles with Japan's unique plaster flags hanging on them, and several Japanese soldiers in military uniforms were sitting on them, with machine guns in their hands.
Such a situation made Shen Yue, who had just experienced harassment by Japanese soldiers, feel nervous again. He hesitated and asked the driver Uncle Tian again, "Uncle Tian, why are there Japanese in front of our house? Are they here to arrest them too?" Ding’s?”
"Impossible, I have a deep friendship with the Commander of the Kwantung Army, Honjo Shigeru, and we have a dense network of relationships. I don't think the Japanese dare to make trouble." Uncle Tian said in a deep voice, staring at the Japanese soldiers at the gate.
The car slowly drove to the gate. A servant recognized his car and hurried over to open the gate and let the car drive in.
After everything drove into the door of the house safely, Shen Yue let out a sigh of relief. When the car stopped, she opened the door and jumped out of the car, and walked towards the hall.
When she was still more than ten steps away from the entrance of the hall, Shen Yue's eyebrows twitched involuntarily, because there were two Japanese soldiers standing at the entrance of the hall, holding rifles in their hands and standing there solemnly. The bayonets on the rifles were shining in the sunlight. Shining with dazzling light.
The sound of Shen Wentao talking to someone came from the hall. It seemed that he was entertaining guests. From the posture at the door, anyone could guess that they were Japanese.
"The weasel is giving New Year greetings to the rooster - it's not a good idea!" Shen Yue knew the Japanese too well and knew that they would be up to no good if they came to visit.
Just when she was hesitating whether to go in, Shen Wentao's hearty laughter came from the hall, "Haha, this is easy to say. As the president of the Chamber of Commerce, I naturally have to provide some support for this operation of the Imperial Japanese Army." Powerful."
Another voice also sounded, "In that case, thank you very much Mr. Shen. On behalf of the Japanese Kwantung Army, I would like to thank you for your support."
"Easy to say, easy to say!" Shen Wentao continued, "If you see Commander Fan of our village, remember to say hello to him on my behalf and say that I welcome him as a guest."
"I will definitely bring you Mr. Shen's greetings," the man said.
Just when Shen Yue was hesitating whether to go in or not, the conversation in the room seemed to have come to an end, and Shen Wentao began to see off the guests.
Shen Yue hurriedly hid behind a pillar on the side, looking out while talking, she wanted to see who was coming.
A figure flashed at the door of the hall, and Shen Wentao walked out of the hall accompanied by a Japanese officer and walked towards the door.
Shen Wentao was wearing a black Tang suit, and the Japanese who came was wearing a woolen military uniform. The gold star on the collar made Shen Yue feel dizzy, but he looked like a high-ranking official.
The two people walked towards the gate while talking, and soon disappeared into the doorway of the gate.
Seeing that the Japanese had left, Shen Yue walked out from the darkness and looked towards the gate.
After a while, the sound of a motorcycle with a sidecar could be heard outside the gate, and then it became farther and farther away. It seemed that the Japanese officer who had come had left.
Footsteps sounded, and Shen Wentao walked in quickly from outside the door, but the smile on his face had disappeared, replaced by anger.
"Master, this little brat is so greedy!" Lao Li, the housekeeper, followed Shen Wentao and said in a low voice. When the two of them were talking just now, he was waiting on the side and listened to everything.
Shen Wentao hummed with a gloomy face and walked towards the hall, "The little devil has a huge appetite, and the big trouble is still to come."
"What should we do, Master?" Upon hearing this, the housekeeper Lao Li immediately had a bitter look on his face.
Shen Wentao sighed, his sigh full of helplessness, "For the time being, we can only give in and wait and see."
The two of them walked towards the hall one after another. Just as Shen Wentao stepped up the steps, his eyes were suddenly covered by a pair of hands extending from behind, and then a voice said in a rough voice, "Guess who I am! "
When Shen Wentao heard this voice, he was surprised and happy. He chuckled and said, "You little girl, you are teasing me when you come here. Let go quickly. I still can't hear your voice?"
"It's so boring, you can't cooperate with me!" Seeing that she had been discovered, Shen Yue pouted and had to let go of her hand, then jumped in front of Shen Wentao, blinked her big black eyes, and stretched out her hand to tug his jaw. The lower beard, "Did you miss me?"
"My precious Yue'er, how could you not want to miss it!" Seeing Shen Yue, Shen Wentao's bad mood immediately disappeared. He laughed loudly, pulled Shen Yue away and looked her up and down and said, "Come here, let me see Let’s see if my baby Yue’er has gained weight or lost weight!”
When Shen Yue heard this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed!
