"This Japanese candy bar is poisonous? How did you know?"

In the bear's den, it was not Hu Bazhi who asked this question, but Zhao Jinyu.

“Not poisonous”

As he spoke, Wei Ran picked up one, looked at it, and explained, "This tin tube used to contain poison... and smoke paste. I thought it still contained tobacco paste."

"Can it be eaten?"

Hu Ba pointed out that he had already broken out two candy cubes and gave one to Zhao Jinyu.

“Eatable”

Wei Ran said, already throwing the candy into his mouth, and then continued to check the Japanese backpack.

The remaining space in the bag contained several boxes of canned Japanese beef, a Japanese lunch box, and a large bottle of sake.

Opening the Japanese lunch box, there was no food in it, but it was almost full of tobacco. There was also a small cigarette pouch, a stack of cigarette papers, and a brass lighter on the tray.

Obviously, this pack of cigarettes, alcohol and candies is by no means someone's personal belongings, but is probably the "common property" of the Japs squad just now.

"I'll try this devil's pipe"

As he spoke, Hu Bazhi had already picked up the stick of the Japanese pipe, pressed some shredded tobacco into the pot and lit it. After taking two puffs, he shook his head, "It's not as strong as dry cigarettes, and the pot is also very dignified."

A little too small.”

"I'll try it"

As Zhao Jinyu spoke, he also picked up a piece of cigarette paper, rolled a toad cigarette skillfully and lit it.

"Brother, how did you get caught by the Japanese? What are you doing today?"

Hu Ba pointed and opened the two sacks containing the trophies, poured out the contents, and motioned to Wei Ran to count the trophies with him.

"The Japanese captured me in Souyama more than half a month ago."

When the fuming Zhao Jinyu said this, he unbuttoned his cotton-padded clothes, revealing a piece of white cloth sewn on the prison uniform underneath, and explained, "I am a thought prisoner. After being caught by the Japanese, I was sent to a forest farm to log wood.

The head is gone.

Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, the Japanese decided to hunt down some wild dogs and make some dog-skin hats to wear after listening to Hu’s translator and the puppet soldier’s nonsense just now.”

"Let you fight?" Wei Ran asked subconsciously, "Don't they have guns?"

"No!"

Zhao Jinyu said angrily, "Those naughty little devils are just trying to torture us to death, and I heard that the girl with a handlebar style made a baby for Hu Translator.

This time, the dog beating was probably caused by the collusion of their husband and son-in-law, who also wanted to get some dog skins to keep them warm.

Anyway, those little devils don’t know how to make dog-skin hats, why don’t they let the translator come forward in the end?”

"Are the remaining people also thought criminals?" Wei Ran asked, suppressing the hatred in his heart.

"The one who is ready to fight after beating the dog is the thought criminal, and the rest are the strong men captured from around."

"These bastard devils will fight for a dog-skin hat, both for the sake of a dog-skin hat!"

Hu Bazhi gritted his teeth and cursed. His father was also captured and his life and death were unknown. At this time of year, was he also dragged into beating dogs?

He didn't know, but he would inevitably think so. The more he thought this, the more hatred he felt in his heart.

"Are you a member of the Anti-Japanese Alliance?" Wei Ran followed the conversation and asked, "How else could you have become a thought criminal?"

"I'm not yet a member of the Anti-Union movement."

Zhao Jinyu took a puff of the toad cigarette he rolled and said, "He is my brother. I was going to defect to him, but I was caught before I could find him."

Seeing that Wei Ran didn't continue to ask further, Hu Bazhi said in time, "We'll wait for the rest of the discussion when we get back. Let's go together and see what we grabbed."

Hearing this, Zhao Jinyu also looked at the contents poured out of the large sack.

There are five "Taro bags" in this bag. In addition to each containing a devil's water bottle with a furry animal cover and already filled with gasoline, this bag also contains more or less some food such as rations.

, letters, seals and other sundries.

In addition, they also found 13 Japanese lunch boxes with animal skin thermal covers.

These lunch boxes are all filled with still-hot rice, with a thick layer of braised pork poured on top. On the trays, there are some side dishes such as red ginger shreds and pickled cucumbers. On the handles of the lunch boxes

There is also a small aluminum bowl hanging on the top.

"These items were found in the cargo bed of that car."

Hu Ba pointed and pulled out two more red copper materials, shaped like turtle shells, and also had animal skin covers on the outside. Tang Pozi said, "These two are the same. They were filled with hot water at the time, and I filled them both."

Gasoline."

"Every time that team of Japs makes an excuse to come out, they find a place to drink secretly," Zhao Jinyu explained, "I've seen them several times."

"Come on, it's an advantage for us!"

Hu Bazhi said, already picking up two lunch boxes at random and handing them to Wei Ran and Zhao Jinyu respectively.

"Don't be in a hurry to eat, let's see what else is available."

As Wei Ran spoke, he rummaged through the pile of clothes he had taken off. Apart from a few Japanese cotton-padded clothes, cotton trousers and boots, the rest were a full 15 ammunition boxes, containing nearly 500 rounds of 38-inch caps.

Bullets and 8 Japanese grenades. As well as various silver coins, military tickets, and some valuable items such as gold rings.

That's it, not counting the three boxes and the stove that have already been returned to Hu Bazhi.

"There are only five devils and they are so fat. If we keep all those devils, we can celebrate the New Year earlier." Hu Bazhi said greedily.

"We are lucky this time"

Wei Ran reminded, "If you hadn't used Marlezi to scare them and thrown the grenade accurately, they wouldn't have retreated so easily."

“To make food, make food first!”

Hu Bazhi didn't care about that. He picked up a lunch box, opened it, poured all the side dishes on the tray into the "rice bowl", then took out his eating knife from his boot, pulled out a pair of chopsticks and started to eat.

Picking up rice in his mouth.

Seeing this, Zhao Jinyu rummaged through the pile of trophies, found a spoon, rubbed it on Taro's bag, and also picked up the lunch box assigned to him to start making.

"Don't just eat, let's also drink some Japanese wine."

As Wei Ran spoke, he picked up the large bottle of sake in his bag, took down the three small aluminum bowls hanging on the handles of the Japanese lunch boxes, and poured a glass for everyone.

"Do it!" Wei Ran picked up the cup and said.

"Dry!"

For a moment, the cups in the hands of the three people clinked together, and then they each took a sip.

“This wine is not as good as sorghum wine”

Hu Bazhi frowned and said, "It doesn't have any degree, it's like water mixed with water."

"It's not as good as kumiss," Zhao Jinyu said subconsciously.

"Have you ever drank kumiss?"

Wei Ran asked curiously. At the same time, he took out the food knife given by Hu Bazhi from his boot, picked up a piece of braised pork from the lunch box assigned to him and put it into his mouth.

Fortunately, although the sake did not suit the taste of the three of them, the braised pork was a real Chinese flavor.

Zhao Jinyu grinned, "I am from the Mongolian ethnic group, and my home is in Hailar."

Using this topic, the three of them chatted while eating. It was during this chat that Wei Ran and Hu Bazhi also learned that there were four brothers and sisters in Zhao Jinyu's family.

The eldest brother Zhao Jinge and the third brother Zhao Jinshan joined the Northeast Anti-Resistance Alliance a few years ago, and the second sister Zhao Jinlan married far away in Shanxi.

"At the beginning of this year, my father, I, and other fellow villagers were all captured by the Japanese and went to Beishan Pass to build an airport and dig fortifications."

Zhao Jinyu couldn't help but shiver when he said this, "That place is the Palace of Hell! My father died of exhaustion after less than a month.

Before he died, he told me to escape no matter what, to find my eldest and second brothers, and fight the Japanese together to avenge him."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jinyu took a big spoonful of braised pork and put it into his mouth. While chewing, he said, "I took advantage of the white-haired wind one day and climbed seven barbed wire fences to escape. At that time,

I shaved, but there wasn't a good patch of skin on my body.

I followed the address my brother left for me, begging for food and asking questions all the way before I got here. Finally, I finally found someone who knew where my brother had gone, but I was blocked by the Japs and traitors from Tema.

.”

"Can you still find your brother?" Wei Ran asked.

"Should be able"

Zhao Jinyu thought for a while and said, "That person told me where my brother and the others went."

"Where?" Hu Bazhi asked subconsciously.

However, when this question was asked, Zhao Jinyu fell into silence.

"Let's eat first, and we'll talk about the rest when we get back."

Wei Ran said, winking at Hu Ba, changing the subject and deliberately asking an unimportant question, "I still have something I don't want to understand. When we were laying an ambush, why did you run away like that after firing the iron sand gun?"

You want to go somewhere else and fire a shot?"
