Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"Xiao Wu? What the hell are you doing? You don't sleep at night, what are you doing here?" Seeing that it was Xiao Wu, the middle-aged man couldn't help cursing.

"I want to see the boss." Xiao Wu said.

"See you boss? Boss is asleep right now, I want to see you tomorrow." The middle-aged man said and was about to close the door.

"Brother Ming, something serious happened, I have to see the boss." When Xiao Wu saw that the middle-aged man was about to close the door, he became anxious and hurriedly stopped him.

"Xiao Wu, are you looking for death? I don't know if the boss is so angry that he wakes up the boss. Don't blame me if he dies." The middle-aged man said.

The boss is very angry when he wakes up. The last guy who dared to disturb the boss's sleep had grass on his grave that was three meters high.

"Oops, the casino was burned down!" Xiao Wu said anxiously.

"If it burns, it will burn. Wait a minute, what the hell, what did you say? The casino was burned?" The middle-aged man was shocked, and hurriedly let Xiao Wu in.

The casino being burned down is a big deal!

After passing through several yards in a row, Xiao Wu and the middle-aged man came outside Chen Dong's room.

Bang bang bang!
"Boss, boss, wake up, something big happened, something big happened!" The middle-aged man knocked on the door and shouted loudly.

In the room, Chen Dong was sleeping soundly, but was woken up by knocks on the door and voices.

Chen Dong's breathing became disordered for a while, and he was out of breath. He got up and put on his clothes, and then went directly to open the door.

"What happened? You'd better give me an explanation, otherwise, if you disturb my sleep, you will know the consequences!" Chen Dong said in a cold voice with bloodshot eyes.

Seeing Chen Dong's murderous look, the middle-aged man couldn't help swallowing, and quickly pulled Xiao Wu to him.

"Xiao Wu, hurry up and tell me what happened!"

"Boss, the casino was burned down." Xiao Wu said tremblingly with his scalp numb.

"What? Was it burned? What's going on?!" Chen Dong's eyes widened, and he grabbed Xiao Wu's collar and shouted.

Xiao Wu was trembling with fright, and stammered: "Tonight, we were sleeping, but we were woken up by the thick smoke, only to find that the casino was on fire...

We tried to put out the fire, but the fire was too big and it was useless. Now the casino has been burned down! "

"Cao Nima!" Chen Dong cursed, and at the same time kicked Xiao Wu on the stomach, kicking him to the ground and rolling several times.

"Boss, please have mercy. Boss, please have mercy." Xiao Wu ignored the pain on his body and quickly crawled to Chen Dong to beg for mercy.

"Spare your life? I gave you the casino because I trusted you, but what happened! The casino was burned down! How could you ask me to spare your life!" Chen Dong shouted with wide eyes.

He really didn't expect that his casino would disappear in one night!

A year of hard work, if you say nothing, it will be gone, how can he not be angry!

"Boss, Boss, I've been with you for several years. If there is no credit, there will be hard work. Please forgive me, Boss!" Xiao Wu said with snot and tears.

Chen Dong looked at Xiao Wu and took a deep breath. He really wanted to kill this kid, but on second thought, this kid had indeed been with him for several years.

He's also a right-hand man, otherwise, he wouldn't have handed over the matter of watching the scene to Xiao Wu.

"I will spare your life this time, but there will be no next time, you know!" Chen Dong said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu quickly kowtowed: "Thank you, boss, for not killing me. Thank you, boss, for not killing me!"

"I give you a task, find out who burned the casino, if you can't find it, kill it yourself!" Chen Dong ordered.

If he finds out who burned the casino, he must skin it and tear it apart!

"Yes, yes! I'll go right away, I'll go right away!" Xiao Wu got up and left quickly.

"Boss, who do you think would dare to burn down our casino?" the middle-aged man asked.

"I don't know, there are too many enemies." Chen Dong shook his head.

He has offended many people in his life, and he is not sure who burned it.

At this time, Chen Dong suddenly remembered what Xiao Wu reported to him today. Could it be that Captain Liu did it?
After a while, he shook his head again. Captain Liu didn't have the guts to burn down his casino!
.........

Around three in the afternoon.

The headquarters of Sunjiacun.

The person in charge, Wu Meng, is calculating the money spent this month. There is no way, they are too poor, and every penny has to be spent wisely!

"Hey, I spent more than 150 oceans this month." Wu Meng sighed softly, the money spent this month was much more than last month.

Most of the 150 yuan was spent on buying food.

However, Wu Meng felt distressed, but he was still very relieved. After all, they recruited more than 100 people, trained well, and their strength can be improved a lot.

"Old Wu, something happened." At this moment, Tang Xuan walked in.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Wu Meng raised his head and glanced at Tang Xuan.

"The two intelligence officers we sent to the Jiaoling Mountains are missing!" Tang Xuan said.

"What?" Wu Meng was shocked, stood up, and said, "What's going on?"

"I sent someone to contact them yesterday, but when we got to the location, no one came." Tang Xuan said.

"How could this be? Could it be that they were captured by devils?" Wu Meng asked anxiously.

"Probably not. My people have not heard about the Japanese arresting people." Tang Xuan said.

"What happened to that man? Why did he disappear?" Hearing Tang Xuan say that he was not caught by the devil, Wu Meng was relieved, but said with a frown.

"It's not clear yet. My people are still investigating, and it may take a lot of time. After all, Taiyuan is very big." Tang Xuan said.

"If you can't find it within five days, then don't do it. At that time, for safety's sake, we have to evacuate the base area here," Wu Meng said.

"Well, I understand." Tang Xuan nodded, he knew what Wu Meng meant, but if the intelligence personnel were really captured secretly by the devils, they would probably be forced to confess.

Although they firmly believe that their comrades will not betray them, as long as there is a risk, they will not take it, and they cannot ignore the lives of other comrades because of their trust.

"Old Chen is an old revolutionary. If he is really caught, the devil will definitely not be able to get information from him.

And Xiao Xu joined for a short time, he didn't know many things, even if he said it, it was nothing. " Tang Xuan said.

"Besides, Lao Chen is a very good intelligence officer. He will be very cautious if there is any trouble. Uncle Wu, don't think too much of the worst." Tang Xuan comforted him.

"Xiao Tang, as we do, we must always prepare for the worst." Wu Meng said with a serious face, "Don't just ignore it because you think you are lucky, that will kill many people!"

"Uncle Wu, I know." Tang Xuan nodded, he just told Wu Meng not to worry too much.

"Hey, Lao Chen is an old revolutionary. If something happens, it will be our loss." Wu Meng sighed lightly.

.........

at dusk.

Zhang Mazi returned home from the town.

Where did he know from Liu Fan that the casino was burned, and he also heard that all the IOUs in the casino were burned, which made him feel at ease immediately.

There is no way, the debt of three hundred oceans can really crush him to death.

I thought it would be fine, but Liu Fan felt that the people in the casino might not let Zhang Mazi go, and they would make troubles.

After some discussion, Liu Fan told Zhang Mazi that it would be better for him to bring his younger sister to live with him. In this way, if the casino wants to make trouble, it has to weigh it carefully, after all, there is no more IOU.

Back home, Zhang Mazi originally planned to go to town tonight, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. It was getting late and accidents were prone to happen on the road.

After dinner, Zhang Mazi said to his sister, "You pack up tonight, we will go to town for a while tomorrow."

"Ah? Why do you want to live in the town?" Zhang Xinyu asked doubtfully.

This question stopped Zhang Mazi, he was so busy returning, but he forgot how to find an excuse to bring his sister to the town.

Zhang Mazi had a flash of inspiration, and said: "A friend in the town invited us to stay at his house for a few days, but I couldn't resist, so I agreed.
By the way, you also know this friend. He is Liu Fan who fainted at our doorstep. He now lives in the town. "

"Liu Fan? If I remember correctly, he was working as a traitor for the Japanese in town. Why did he invite us to live with him?" Zhang Xinyu said with a serious look on his face.

At first, rescuing Liu Fan was just something she did casually, but she didn't expect that the person she rescued turned out to be a traitor. When she found out the news, she was so angry that she felt like she had saved a white-eyed wolf.

"No, didn't we save his life? He was grateful to us, so he warmly invited us. He came to repay his kindness." Seeing his sister's appearance, Zhang Mazi lacked the confidence to speak.

"Repay the favor? Hehe! I don't dare to accept the favor of the traitor, for fear of short life!" Zhang Xinyu said coldly.

"Sister, he is a traitor, but he didn't harm the people, at least you haven't heard the news that he harmed the people, right?

People have no choice but to be traitors. " Zhang Mazi said.

"I haven't heard of it, but I was worried that he would bury all the people who said bad things about him, so I haven't heard of it." Zhang Xinyu said.

"No, sister, you..."

"Brother, you're acting weird today. Just help that traitor." Zhang Mazi was interrupted by Zhang Xinyu before he could finish speaking.

"Be honest, do you also want to be a traitor!" Zhang Xinyu stared at Zhang Mazi and said.

"How is it possible, how could I be a traitor." Zhang Mazi felt guilty when he said this.

"Since you don't want to be a kennel, there's no need to go to town. There's no place like a golden den or a silver den. It's not as comfortable as your own kennel." After Zhang Xinyu finished speaking, he cleared the bowls on the table and took them to wash.

Looking at his sister's back, Zhang Mazi slapped himself twice, but his sister didn't go to town, what if something happened?
But at this time, Zhang Xinyu thought in her heart: "I see when you plan to confess to me!"

She was not a fool. She felt something was wrong the day her brother came back, and the next day she asked someone to follow him.

As a result, she found out that her brother did not lose money in business at all, but lost money in gambling and still owed three hundred oceans.

When she found out, she was completely dumbfounded. Three hundred oceans, how long will it take for their family to pay for it?
As for others saying that her brother would sell her to the boss to repay the debt, she didn't believe it.

Moreover, if the money is really not paid, then...

.........

At nine o'clock in the evening, Zhang Mazi decided to tell the truth, otherwise his sister would definitely not go to town.

Boom boom boom!
"Sister, open the door, I have something to tell you."

Knocking on his sister's door, Zhang Mazi shouted.

Before the words fell, the door opened.

"Come in and talk." Zhang Xinyu said before entering the room and lighting the kerosene lamp.

Zhang Mazi walked in anxiously, sat down at the table, and his sister sat opposite him and looked at him.

"Just say what you have to say." Zhang Xinyu remained expressionless, showing no emotions.

"Sister, do you want to have supper?" Zhang Mazi asked with a twitch.

"Go out if you don't want to say anything, I'm going to sleep." Zhang Xinyu was so angry when she heard this, she immediately got up and wanted to drive Zhang Mazi out.

"Hey, hey, don't, don't, I say, don't chase me away." Zhang Mazi said hurriedly.

"Then tell me quickly." Zhang Xinyu said.

Zhang Mazi took a deep breath, and told all about how others tricked him into gambling in the casino and how he owed money.

"Then what are you going to do with Liu Fan?" Zhang Xinyu asked.

"The person behind the casino is a puppet army commander. I can only go to Liu Fan for help. Oh, that's not right. Why don't you scold me???" Zhang Mazi realized as he spoke that his sister was acting too Calm down.

"Is it useful to scold you? Can the money be returned?" Zhang Xinyu said.

"No." Zhang Mazi lowered his head, not daring to look into his sister's eyes.

"Then what am I scolding you for? A waste of tongue." Zhang Xinyu rolled his eyes.

"Then what are you going to do now? Three hundred oceans, how are you going to pay back?" Zhang Xinyu continued.

"Why don't you pay it back? The casino was burned last night, and the IOUs were also burned." Zhang Mazi said.

"Then why do you still ask me to go to town?" Zhang Xinyu said, since the IOU is gone, it means that the money owed doesn't have to be repaid, which is a good thing.

"Isn't this worrying that others won't let it go?" Zhang Mazi said.

"The IOU is gone, and they still dare to force us to fail." Zhang Xinyu disagreed.

"Sister, you don't know that the people in the casino are a bunch of desperadoes. If they really want to kill us, it's not a matter of using their hands." Zhang Mazi said.

Zhang Xinyu was also shocked when she heard this, she felt that she really had an easy idea.

"It's not a moth you made a fuss about!" Zhang Xinyu kicked Zhang Mazi angrily.

"It's my fault, my fault, it's all my fault." Zhang Mazi quickly admitted his mistake.

"Then when we go to the town, can Liu Fan protect us? Maybe Liu Fan is with the others. As soon as I go to the town, they might catch me and give me away." Zhang Xinyu said.

To be honest, she doesn't trust Liu Fan very much, and always feels that traitors are not a good thing.

"No, if Liu Fan was with them, I might have been arrested long ago." Zhang Mazi said.

"I still don't think it's reliable." Zhang Xinyu said.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Zhang Mazi said, but he had no choice.

"How about, let's go to participate in the Eighth Route Army." Zhang Xinyu's eyes flickered, she had wanted to do this for a long time, when the Eighth Route Army beat devils and did meaningful things,
"What? Join the Eighth Route? No, I don't agree!" Zhang Mazi stood up and shouted.

What's the benefit of joining the Eighth Route Army? Otherwise, you may have to risk your life. (end of this chapter)
