Chapter 155 You Have to Go Whether You Want to or Not
After seeing Gouwazi, Chen Yan went to the room of Tang Rui, the girl he rescued from the brothel.
He gently pushed the door open. Tang Rui was sleeping soundly at this moment. He walked to the window and lit a cigarette without disturbing Tang Rui.
"You're back."
Soon a soft and sweet voice reached Chen Yan's ears. He was stunned at first, then said lightly:
"you're awake".
"I haven't slept yet, waiting for you to come back."
"wait for me?
Oh, I see."
Chen Yan pulled over a stool and sat down beside the bed, quietly looking at the girl whom he had only met twice, with a complicated look in his eyes.
"What are you going to do next? Where are you going?"
The girl looked a little lonely, with a hint of sadness and grievance.
“I don’t know and I haven’t thought about it.
I should be a person without a future."
At this moment, the moonlight outside the house shone coldly on the girl's face. Her fluffy bangs slightly covered her eyes, making her look very pretty.
Chen Yan knew very well that a girl who ended up in a brothel had no chance of survival.
She was right. Few people had a future in this era. Chen Yan was very lucky to have a smooth career in the Eighth Route Army.
The two of them tacitly did not speak any more, as if they were enjoying the rare peace. All the hostility in Chen Yan disappeared completely.
"There is nowhere to go, so follow me from now on."
"Join the army?"
"If you want, I can also send you to continue your studies.
The first time I saw you, you were wearing school clothes, so you must be a student."
"Well, I am a student at the Provincial No. 1 Women's Normal School."
"If you're willing, pack up quickly. I want to leave the city tonight."
Tang Rui looked at Chen Yan's departing figure, feeling mixed emotions.
The two of them came to the main room together. At this time, Li San and his friends were each holding noodles and eating them with relish.
"Brother, Uncle Hua is back and is in the inner room."
"Oh, give her something to eat too."
Chen Yan pointed at Tang Rui, then brought Li San to see Uncle Hua.
"Uncle, thank you for your hard work."
Uncle Hua quickly stood up and greeted him, "Brigade Commander Chen, let me introduce you. This is the fourth son of my eldest brother. We are all family. He works as a cook at the grain station. Just ask him if you have any questions."
Chen Yan looked at the man in front of him. He was about 40 years old, with a simple and honest face. His face was carved with indescribable hardship over the years. At first glance, he looked like a simple farmer.
Chen Yan handed each of them a Laodao brand cigarette. The man's eyes lit up and he said, "This is good stuff."
Seeing that he was reluctant to smoke, Chen Yan took the initiative to light the cigarette, and the man began to enjoy it.
"Brigade Commander Chen, if you have anything to say, just ask me. Even though I work for the Japanese, there is nothing I can do. These days I have to support my parents, and we have to earn enough to eat."
At the same time, the man turned his head with an angry look on his face, "We and the Japanese are enemies for generations. I am a soft-hearted person, not as good as my elder brother."
The man said with a sad face, "My elder brother and sister-in-law are great. They didn't bring shame to the Hua family." Then he glanced at Hua Laoguai, lowered his head and said nothing.
Chen Yan looked at Uncle Hua's face full of vicissitudes and remained silent, and he also understood the story.
I'm afraid that Uncle Hua's son died at the hands of the Japanese, and he died heroically.
The situation was urgent at the moment, so Chen Yan didn't think any more about it.
"Brother Hua, don't be afraid, I just want to ask you a few questions.
Do you know the transportation cycle of the Japanese grain transport trucks? ".
The man took a puff of his cigarette, thought for a moment and said:
"Ping'an County is the supply center for the surrounding strongholds and watchtowers, and food is delivered to the outside of the city every three days."
The man’s words were somewhat different from what Chen Yan thought.
"Brother Hua, why are the Japanese sending whole truckloads of food and vegetables into the city tonight instead of sending them out?"
"Oh, you're talking about this.
The Japanese army controlled a relatively large area in Ping'an County. The food supply was better at ordinary times, but it was not enough to be self-sufficient in vegetables and meat. In addition, some war reserve rations were distributed and supplemented by the Japanese superiors.
Usually, delivery is made every seven days.”
Chen Yan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Seven days?
I can't wait for a whole day. Staying for another quarter of an hour will increase the danger. I must leave tonight.
"Brother Hua, does your grain station have any grain trucks leaving the city tonight?"
“Yes, there were several trucks leaving the city to deliver food at 5am, and I just finished loading the trucks during the day today.
only...".
Chen Yangang was a little excited, and when he heard his words, he immediately asked anxiously:
"Just what? Explain clearly."
"The Japanese are now heavily guarded. There are even two squads of Japanese soldiers at the grain station. You can't get in at all.
Even if you get in, you can't escape the Japanese inspection. There are inspections at every intersection out of the city. It's impossible to sneak in a car and leave the city."
Chen Yan pondered for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter. I have a way, but I'm afraid..."
After hearing Chen Yan's words, Uncle Hua knew that he was in a difficult situation and immediately comforted him:
"Brigade Commander Chen, feel free to speak your mind. I am willing to go through fire and water for the organization."
"Uncle, I plan to get on the truck at the gate of the grain station. I need Brother Hua to stop the truck at the gate. Just give us 30 seconds."
After these words were spoken, everyone in the room became uneasy.
Asking this somewhat timid middle-aged man in front of him to stop the Japanese vehicle would be tantamount to seeking death.
At this time, the four boys couldn't help but take a step back and looked at Chen Yan in fear.
Li San on the side muttered quietly: "Brother, there is no need for him. We can just climb into these broken trucks with a little help."
Chen Yan shook his head and said, "It's definitely impossible to hide in the rear compartment. With so many checkpoints set up by the Japanese, it's only a matter of time before it's discovered.
I plan to have everyone hide on the chassis of the car, and use the beams under the car to sneak out of the city, which will be more concealed."
After Chen Yan finished speaking, everyone understood immediately and looked at the four boys in unison.
The four boys had sad faces and said aggrievedly:
"Brigade Commander Chen, Second Uncle, can we try another method? I can't do it. This is tantamount to sentencing me to death!"
Uncle Hua said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Commander Chen, it doesn't matter who tries to stop us. The fourth boy is still young, so let me, an old man, do it."
“Uncle Hua, you misunderstood, I didn’t intend to let Brother Hua die.
Brother Hua is familiar with the Japanese soldiers at the grain station. I thought I would have him pretend to be drunk and lie in the middle of the road. If the Japanese soldiers find him, they will know he is from the grain station and will not make things difficult for him. We can take the opportunity to crawl under the car."
Uncle Hua nodded and said, "This method is indeed feasible and no one will know about it, but...ah..."
He turned to look at the shivering fourth boy and said, "Fourth brother, you have been a coward all your life, can't you fight for your dignity? I'm not asking you to die."
"Uncle, that's easy for you to say. What if the Japanese don't stop and run over me..."
Listening to the four boys chattering endlessly, Uncle Hua became furious.
"Fuck, you have to go whether you want to or not."
