Because one of his distant nephews came to see him today and invited him to drink. The wine he drank was good, so he was very happy today.
The wine was good and had been cooked in a clay pot for ten years. Naturally, He Jiu was not polite. He drank a jar and a half by himself. Before leaving, he even took a jar with him and returned home drunk.
He Jiu was the only one in his family. He originally had a wife who gave birth to a son, but later he couldn't stand his alcoholism and took his son away, leaving him a bachelor.
As a result, He Jiu had no one to take care of him, so he naturally drank harder. He lost all the money he earned as a cook to the tavern, and drank drunkenly every day.
However, He Jiu's cooking skills are indeed very good, and he is number one in Dongyang City. If Tian Jian, the captain of the Japanese army, didn't like Chinese food and recruited him to the brigade headquarters, other restaurants would also recruit him.
of.
He happily opened the courtyard door, and He Jiu staggered in. He turned back to close and bolt the courtyard door. As soon as he turned around, he saw Zhuge Hong standing in front of him, and immediately smiled, "Hey, little one."
Hongzi, do you want to invite me to drink again?"
"Cousin, you know how to drink!" Zhuge Hong was speechless to his cousin. He had just finished drinking and was still thinking about drinking. It was best to soak in a wine vat.
He stretched out his hand to support He Jiu and said, "Cousin, let me introduce someone to you." After saying that, he helped him and turned to Zheng Xiao.
He Jiu burped, looked at the big man standing in front of him with drunken eyes, and chuckled, "I've never seen him before, why do you want to invite me to drink?"
Zheng Xiao nodded and said, "It's okay to treat you to a drink, but you have to do something for me."
"What's the matter? Tell me?" Hearing that someone was inviting him to drink, He Jiu's spirits were high, and his head was spinning like a chicken eating rice.
Zheng Xiao asked Zhuge Hong to help He Jiu into the house. He ordered two special forces members to guard the door and followed him in.
As soon as they entered the house, a disgusting sour smell hit their faces, making Zheng Xiao and Zhuge Hong frown. They looked around and thought to themselves, "Is this a place where people live?"
The house was littered with rubbish, including melon and fruit peels left over from He Jiu's meals, food and drinks, and the quilts on the kang were as dirty as briquettes. They were piled dark and unfolded, and there were still wrappers inside.
with half a rotten radish.
Wine bottles can be seen everywhere in the house. Most of these bottles are empty, but occasionally a few still have some left in them. Part of the rancid smell is emitted by them.
Pig's nest, a living pig's nest!
Zheng Xiao and Zhuge Hong looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. They were completely defeated by He Jiu.
He Jiu seemed to be very used to it. He broke away from Zhuge Hong's support, staggered over, poured some cold water from a teapot that had been stored for an unknown number of days, and brought it over in two broken bowls whose original color could not be seen.
.
"Drink water, drink water!" He Jiuzhen said enthusiastically, pushing the bowl in front of the two of them, then picked up the other bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhuge Hong glanced at the water bowl and didn't dare to look at it a second time, otherwise he was afraid that he would spit out his dinner because there was a large fish bone soaked in the water bowl and a ball of yellow phlegm.
Something like that.
Zheng Xiao pushed the bowl aside, stared at He Jiu and said, "He Jiu, I'm looking for you to ask you to do something."
"As long as you invite me to drink, there will be no problem." He Jiu patted his belly like a wine barrel and agreed happily.
"Help us bring someone into the stable of the Japanese Cavalry." Zheng Xiao said slowly, while watching He Jiu's expression.
Originally He Jiu was drunk and had his eyes slightly closed, but as soon as Zheng Xiao's words came out, he opened his eyes as if he was startled, and looked at Zheng Xiao opposite, "What did you say?"
"I told you to help us bring someone into the stables of the Japanese Cavalry." Zheng Xiao said word by word.
With a swipe of the brush, the sweat on He Jiu's forehead fell down. He woke up from most of his wine and looked at Zhuge Hong beside him with doubtful eyes, "I say, eldest nephew, who are you?"
Zhuge Hong revealed their identities after asking Zheng Xiao for permission with his eyes.
He Jiuyi sat down on the ground and murmured to himself, "Oh my God, you are, you are -"
"Yes, we are, okay, let's talk about our cooperation now, He Jiu." Zheng Xiao interrupted him, pulled him up and sat on the edge of the Kang, "Will you agree to my request?"
He Jiu's face turned pale, as if this matter was very embarrassing for him. He waved his hands repeatedly, "I can't take you there, I can't take you there, otherwise I will die."
Zheng Xiao shouted, "If you don't take us, we will kill you now." As he spoke, he pulled out a gun and put it on He Jiu's forehead.
The cold and hard muzzle of the gun was pressed against his forehead, making He Jiu's whole body goosebumps. His voice was filled with tears and his hands were waving, "Chief Zheng, please spare me. It's not that I don't want to do it."
, but I simply went into the stable."
"What's going on?" Zheng Xiao shouted sternly with his pistol still pressed against his forehead.
He Jiu shed tears. He wiped away the runny nose and explained, "The captain issued an order saying that the cavalry station has been closed to the outside world for a while. No one is allowed to approach, otherwise they will be shot on the spot."
"What?" Zheng Xiao and Zhuge Hong's expressions changed. They never imagined that the Japanese were so tightly guarded against the stables, making it impossible for them to take action.
"When did this situation start?" Zheng Xiao calmed down and continued to ask.
He Jiudao, "It turns out that's not the case. It seems to have been like this since that Japanese girl came from Shengjing with an army."
"That Japanese woman again?" Zheng Xiao felt a little uneasy in his heart. He felt that this operation might not go so smoothly.
Putting away his pistol, Zheng Xiao asked He Jiu in detail and found out that the current Japanese brigade headquarters is very tightly guarded. Not only the cavalry unit, but also the motorcycle unit and transportation unit have been increased several times in vigilance, and they are particularly defensive.
tight.
Zheng Xiao shook his head helplessly. These departments were all quick reaction forces, and they were also the enemy departments where he originally planned to seize transportation. Unexpectedly, the enemy was even on guard.
These defenses seemed to be specially set up for him. An idea seemed to flash through Zheng Xiao's mind, but it was immediately suppressed by more important things.
The top priority is how to solve the problem of the Japanese chasing troops.
If the Japanese cavalry and motorcycle troops cannot be stopped, and if a transport truck that can move quickly cannot be obtained, then even if the people are rescued, it will be a problem to take them out of danger smoothly.
