Section 350
Chapter 350
"Is this gentleman going to stay in a hotel?!" An old man sitting lazily in the store, who was sporting a palm-leaf fan on the Grand Master's chair, saw someone entering the door, and quickly stood up to greet him.
"Well! Stay in a hotel! Six people, three rooms!" Li Wei walked to the counter. This was the contact point for the Zhao family. Ding Heyang, a fake butler, no longer needed to make arrangements.
Li Wei took out more than a dozen silver dollars and said, "This is the prepaid housing money!" He said that, and put the silver dollars on the counter.
"Okay, uh!" When the old shopkeeper was about to reach out and stroke the silver dollars to count, he suddenly found that one of the silver dollars was only half. The eyebrows on the shopkeeper's face shook slightly, and his expression was still silent. He took out a silver dollar from his clothes, which was also half. He put it on the counter and moved it gently. It happened to be a half-wire-fitting silk of the silver dollars that Li Wei grabbed. It was a silver dollar that was broken in half, and now it was together.
The old shopkeeper did not look at Li Wei and his party more. After counting other silver dollars, he shouted to the aisle door next to him: "Well! Xiaohu! Take these guests to the three rooms of Chen, Wei and Geng." Only Li Wei saw the old shopkeeper quietly put the silver dollars together in his palm.
"Here you come!" The shop guy in a white sweat jacket ran out of the aisle, walked to Li Wei and the others, stretched his hands into the aisle, and said, "Please come with me, all the guests."
Although this small inn is not big, there are many guests inside. The sister leaning against the door with her eyes shrouded in her eyes, the gangsters with flesh and clothes on her face, and all kinds of people from all walks of life are there. They take advantage of the war to find opportunities to make money and make a living.
"Sir, do you need fun?" A woman dressed in a gorgeous manner suddenly walked out of a room next to the aisle, and made a tempting look, blocking Ding Heyang behind the shop assistant.
Ding Heyang, who was a Communist Party member, was a hero who was sad to pass the beauty. He had never seen such a scene. His face turned green and he was so scared that he retreated desperately, "No, no, no, I don't want to have fun." He was afraid that he would retreat slowly, and was eaten by the tigress in front of him in one bite.
Ding Heyang retreated behind Li Wei very unfaithfully. He really didn't know where he usually shouted slogans and charged forward, and he was leading the way. It was clearly a bad behavior of betraying his comrades.
Seeing Ding Heyang retreating like a ghost, the woman focused on Li Wei, who was the first to bear the brunt of the brunt, waved her hand towel and smiled: "What a handsome guy, are you interested in playing with your sister?! My sister won't charge you money."
As soon as these words were said, not only Ding Heyang, but also the faces of the four soldiers behind Li Wei changed. What a guy, I'm so sorry.
Li Wei looked at the ground as if he was looking at something. The woman felt furious in her heart. Finally, she shook her head and said, "Well! Her appearance is 700, her bust is 80, her shape is not good, her waist is 40, she is easy to lose weight, her hip circumference is 60, she is age-old, she is older than me, I don't have a crush on my sister, and the overall score is 65! Tsk tsk! Her appearance is average, and it doesn't suit my taste!"
Ding Heyang and the four soldiers rolled their eyes together, and they were really defeated by Li Wei. Little Lizi is really a person who can't get into the air. I really don't know what he is pretending to be in his mind?!
People from several nearby rooms looked around the door, looking at them as if they wanted to laugh but didn't want to laugh.
The woman opened her mouth, and the blushing seductive words below her were blocked by Li Wei's words. Her charming expression was a little frozen, and her face turned from white to red. She was angry. The first time she was criticized so much that she was so skinless. She pointed at the tip of Li Wei's nose with her waist and scolded: "You little devil, be dying."
Li Wei was a little stunned. This woman is really talented in making trouble. She has a string of quick swear words without repetition. She is much more fierce than the rapid fire of the Maxim heavy machine gun.
"Woo-------------"
A sarcastic scream suddenly came from outside, and all the people in the inn changed their faces. The woman immediately stopped her mouth, turned around and hid in the room, closed the door firmly, and the others around who were watching the fun also retracted back into the room in panic.
"What's wrong?!" Ding Heyang was a little surprised by the reactions of these people.
"Air raid!" Li Wei and the shop clerk said in unison. Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud explosion, and the ground shook gently.
"Dear guests, please don't be afraid! Bombing here is common. Our location is relatively remote and not worth the Japanese to throw bombs. Please don't panic and go to the guest room to rest!" The shopkeeper seemed calm and didn't panic. It seemed that he had experienced such things many times and was used to it.
There was another loud noise outside and the ground trembled, as if a bomb dropped by enemy planes was closer, and some gravel was even bounced on the roof, and fragments of the building that were blown away from afar were falling.
The extremely loud machine gun sound in the city was making loud noises. It should be the anti-aircraft anti-aircraft machine guns that were fighting back against the Japanese planes. The shrill air raid roared desperately, making people feel in their hearts that a bomb would fall on their heads at any time.
There are not many Japanese air strikes in the CCP's base areas. The Japanese don't have much money to burn them to throw bombs into the fields. Moreover, the CCP's armed forces are distributed and there are not many targets worth bombing. There are few air strike alarm speakers except important departments. Usually, most units do not even have air defense weapons. Therefore, Ding Heyang cannot react to the air defense alarm in Xinxiang County for a while, but Li Wei has watched too much on modern TV.
The roar of the Japanese fighter propellers was clearly heard, sometimes far and sometimes near, and the sound of machine guns on the ground and in the air was endless. After throwing a few bombs, the Japanese planes unscrupulously fired into the ground above Xinxiang County. The sound of anti-aircraft machine guns that had been louder before was hoarse. It is conceivable that the national soldiers who were still fighting back were killed.
There is almost no counterattack in the county town. Whether it is the CCP or the National Army, ordinary combat units will not open fire on the air without the support of air defense weapons, to avoid causing crazy revenge on Japanese fighter jets and preventing greater casualties from causing greater casualties.
Only now did Li Wei and the others understand that when the air raid alarm sounded, the people in the inn did not escape outside the house to hide, but instead hid inside the house. Although the Japanese bombs were not sure when they would be thrown, there were only a few. The machine guns fired by Japanese fighter jets at low altitudes swept away when they saw people, and there were walls in the house for cover. When they ran outside the house, they were the living targets of the Japanese fighter jets.
As the roar of propellers in the sky gradually disappeared, the Japanese fighter jets that had been raging over Xinxiang County for a long time were long gone. The air raid sirens sounded for a long time before they calmed down. People appeared again on the streets of Xinxiang County, which were ravaged by Japanese fighter jets like dead silence. Except for the houses that were still burning, nearby residents and passing soldiers spontaneously dug the ruins and searched for survivors. Other places in the county still continued the livelihood activities before the bombing. No matter how fierce the Japanese were, their lives had to continue.
"It seems that I can't be at peace here!" Ding Heyang, who was sitting in the house avoiding Japanese fighter planes, patted his chest with lingering fear. This place is no different from the base area. When the Japanese planes come, as long as people drill into the tunnel, they can explode whatever they want, or hide in the wilderness, and they can't even find a shadow. Unlike in a county town full of houses, bricks that blow up to the sky can kill people.
"Be careful!" Li Wei took a sip of water. Life and death are alive. Throwing the bomb down is useless.
Twist! ~
The door of the room was knocked.
"Who?" Li Wei went to open the door, but saw Xiaohu, a shop clerk, standing at the door, holding a tray in his hand, with a teapot and a teacup on it.
"I'm sending tea." The shop's guy Xiaohu looked very humble.
"Come in!" Li Wei nodded and asked the shop assistant to bring the tea in.
The shopkeeper neatly put the teapot and tea cup on the table in the house, turned around and left the room.
"What is this?!" Ding Heyang found a letter under the teapot on the table. It should have been put down by the mate just now. It seemed that not only the old shopkeeper in the store was from the Zhao family, but I'm afraid even this mate was.
"Li Wei, it's a letter to you!" Ding Heyang picked up the teapot and saw the words on the envelope clearly, and handed them to Li Wei.
Li Wei took the letter, and the envelope read "Mr. Li Wei, personally opened it."
"What is the letter written?!" Ding Heyang walked to the door and closed the door. There were no suspicious characters wandering outside the door.
"The supper is over. Someone invites us to a big meal at the Welcoming House in the south of the city tonight." Li Wei glanced at the letter he took out and said, "It didn't state who was invited to such a meal." However, there should be no acquaintances of Li Wei in Xinxiang County. It is probably the next contact person of the Zhao family, otherwise the shop assistant would not have sent the letter so mysteriously. The Zhao family also attached great importance to this link and contacted each other at every level to avoid being caught by the enemy.
"Well! I'll take Lin Cheng and Guo Sanwu with you tonight, and Xiaoma and Yan Bin stayed behind." Ding Heyang arranged the people who went there.
After resting for an afternoon, at five o'clock, Li Wei, Ding Heyang and soldier Guo Sanwu left the inn. Lanterns were hung everywhere on the street shops. Following the stone road, they found the restaurant in the Welcoming Building in the south of the city. Although it was in a war zone bombed by Japanese fighter jets, the business was still done. Every table in the restaurant was full of people, and the business looked very good.
Before Li Wei could ask, he saw the restaurant clerk coming out, bowing and saying, "Mr. Li Wei is it?! Please follow me."
