However, neither of them expected that they had to wait for almost three hours, until the sky turned completely dark and the wind and snow became heavier and heavier, but they neither heard the sound of gunfire nor the sound of gunshots.

Wait until Hu Bazhi comes to pick them up.

"Did something happen to Brother Hu?"

Zhao Jinyu wrapped the cotton clothes around her body tightly and asked uneasily, "How about we..."

"Wait a little longer"

Wei Ran also wrapped his dog fur coat tightly, "I haven't been here for such a long time. I guess someone from Shopkeeper Cao has arrived, and he might be drinking right now."

"Will he come out..."

"Won't"

Wei Ran shook his head before Zhao Jinyu finished speaking - no matter what the other party wanted to say was betrayal or something happened.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As if to verify his judgment, before Zhao Jinyu could finish smoking a re-rolled toad cigarette, Hu Bazhi stepped on his skis and circled from a distance

Went around.

"Take your things and go back with me."

Hu Bazhi, who smelled of alcohol, said hello, but was not in a hurry to explain what happened. He just reached out and took the box of cannons handed over by Zhao Jinyu and stuck it on his waist, then took it and put it in his arms.

Without much delay, Wei Ran and Zhao Jinyu took all their belongings, followed Hu Bazhi on a different route, and circled back to the cave next to the cave on their skis.

After opening the curtain and walking into the den that still smelled of alcohol, Hu Bazhi patted the snow on his body and said, "I'm going to get something to eat, and leave here as soon as possible after eating."

"Is there any trouble?" Wei Ran asked with a frown.

"Shopkeeper Cao sent someone to ask what happened, but I sent him away."

Hu Bazhi explained, "But I don't think anything will happen. Shopkeeper Cao is not easy to fool."

With that said, he had already taken off his coat and hung it on the pillar. He took the leftovers on the Kang table and invited Wei Ran to leave the warm nest together.

"Shopkeeper Cao must have suspected me."

Hu Bazhi said, "I guess he sent someone to the forest farm to find out the news. Maybe he will bring the Japanese with him."

"Is it too late for the person who did him?"

Wei Ran asked directly, no matter what kind of relationship Hu Bazhi had with Shopkeeper Cao, not only were there no donkeys in the cave, but there were also many less kneaded leather goods.

"Forget it, they just took away the top item given to Shopkeeper Cao Da this year. I gave the donkey to Shopkeeper Cao Da. I can't keep the animal, so it can be considered as a return of his favor. And now every mountain top is full of people.

Prepare to divide the red cabinet... and divide the harvest to Maodong, don't provoke them at this juncture."

Hu Bazhi explained helplessly, then opened the lid of the pot and filled the enamel basin with a large bowl full of steaming dog meat, which even contained stewed soft potatoes and vermicelli.

Shoveling in a few extra pancakes stuck to the side of the pot, he called to Wei Ran to bring the food over first, but he walked to the corner, pushed aside the stacked firewood, and picked up the two sacks hidden inside.

come out.

“The good stuff is here”

Hu Ba pointed out and took out packages of various sizes from the nooks and crannies of the cave and stuffed them into sacks. He and Wei Ran left the cave together and walked into the warm underground nest.

When Wei Ran put the food on the table, Hu Bazhi also took out a set of clothes from the sack that was not much different from Wei Ran's and threw it on the bed, "Brother Zhao, put on this set of clothes later.

Brother Wei has paid for you."

Before Zhao Jinyu could say anything, Hu Bazhi took out a pair of deerskin boots that had been ripped off from someone's feet and two pieces of cloth cut off by the Japs during the march, and threw them on the kang, "Try it."

The size is better than the Japanese leather shoes, which are more comfortable to wear."

Zhao Jinyu was not polite when he heard this, and simply took off his devil's boots and put on his boots.

Looking at his dirty big feet covered with frostbite, Hu Bazhi said, "Wash your body and feet first, and I'll find some frostbite ointment for you."

Still not waiting for Zhao Jinyu to say anything, Wei Ran had already poured hot water and cold water into the wooden basin and brought the towel over.

With such a trivial move, Zhao Jinyu, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, had red eyes, pursed his lips and took off the stolen cotton clothes and trousers and the tattered prison uniform sewn with a piece of white cloth.

In the weather at the end of October, he was actually only wearing this single set of clothes.

However, compared to the frostbite on various parts of the body after taking off this single suit, what is more conspicuous are the healed or unhealed whip marks on the back, as well as the comet-like scars.

"Is this all done by little devils?" Hu Bazhi stepped on the edge of the kang and asked while rummaging around for things on the rafters.

“Being whipped is not bad.”

Zhao Jinyu explained while scrubbing his dirty body, "It's getting colder and colder these days. Every now and then, we thought prisoners are ordered to take off our clothes and slap each other in pairs with our buttocks bare.

You have to count loudly while drawing, and you have to draw at least a hundred to count."

As the water in the basin turned black little by little, Wei Ran and Hu Bazhi, who had already dug out the ointment, gradually used the pine oil lamp to see clearly that there were still large bruises on Zhao Jinyu's face.

"If anyone is not whipped hard enough or counts wrongly, he will be thrown into the ditch and kneeled until he is shaken and starts to laugh uncontrollably. Only those bastard Japanese and Japanese devils will

Ask the people around you to carry the kneeling person back."

Zhao Jinyu took a piece of soap and a razor that Wei Ran took out from the Japanese prince's bag and said, "I've seen a lot of them. They started laughing when they were kneeling in the ditch, and they froze to death after laughing.

Yes, I also saw many people with their nostrils slapped and bleeding to death from the corners of their eyes and ears. Those bastards want us all to die!"

"Sooner or later this revenge will have to be avenged!" Hu Bazhi gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

"If it's early rather than late, when should we start?" Wei Ran asked.
