Chapter 28: Wisdom Saves Feng's Mother

  Wise rescue of Feng's mother

  Feng Tianxiong stood tall, facing Kameda's gun muzzle, and sneered at him: "You think I'm afraid of this broken gun? Let me tell you, little Japanese, if it weren't for my mother, I would have given up on life long ago. Why would I do things for you people? Now that I've seen my mother, everything is fine. Otherwise, let that damn intelligence report go to hell!"

  Guī Tián was stunned by Féng Tiānxióng's anger and stood there for a moment, not knowing what to do. Xiāo Kāi Xīn hastily came out to mediate, saying: "Féng èr Xiá, don't get agitated, Féng Lǎo Fū Rén is doing well now. Mr. Guī Tián wanted you to take out the intelligence first, and then visit Féng Lǎo Fū Rén. Look at how anxious you are, who dares to do anything to Lǎo Fū Rén? Right? You see that intelligence..."

  Kameida put down the gun and nodded in agreement, saying: "That's right, that's what I meant." Kameida thought to himself: "Miss Mokuren, if she can reveal her true name to Feng Tianxiong, it must be a very important piece of information."

  Feng Tianxiong pointed to his own head and said: "The information is with me, you're still pushing three and blocking four, not letting me see my mother. Hmph, if I hand over the information to you now, will I still be in control? In one sentence, either let me see my mother now, or shoot me dead with a single bullet. You choose!" After finishing speaking, Feng Tianxiong sat down with a thud and no longer spoke.

  Gu Ding's anger had nowhere to vent, so he went up and slapped the blind man to the ground, shouting loudly: "Bastard, hurry up and bring over Old Lady Feng to meet Mr. Feng!"

  He slowly crawled up with a wronged expression, muttering: "If you have the ability to rush at him, why hit me? Bullying the weak and fearing the strong."

  "Hey, Old Big and Old Third, you two, quickly go pick up Madame Feng. If we miss the big opportunity because of this, I'll kill you."

  The old man and the third one hastily put on their horse carriage and rushed out of the gate, where a figure flashed outside the door.

  "Boss, why is our boss so afraid of the Japanese? I just can't stand it. Those little Japanese are running amok in our territory and we don't even dare to collect taxes from them. Why do we still have to indulge him and let him do whatever he wants?" Lao San complained while driving.

  The boss pushed open the car window, looked at the snowflakes dancing in the sky, pulled his clothes tighter and wrapped his body more tightly. He said impatiently: "Alright, alright, just you can do it, aren't you afraid of being heard by the Japanese? Now they'll finish you off. Are you still worried about the Japanese? First take care of your own mouth. Who knows when he'll take your life."

  Lao San slapped his hand and said with a huff, "What's the big deal? Are you afraid the Japanese will hear us? This is Lingfeng City, it's our National Army's territory. The Japanese are nothing. To be honest, I've been wanting to quit for a long time and join the Eighth Route Army in Qilin Mountain. My cousin is there, that guy, every ordinary person gives him a thumbs up. Unlike us, we're like servants, always watching the Japanese faces to do things, wasting our good martial arts skills, it's so humiliating."

  "Alright, alright, stop complaining and just drive carefully! I've also heard of the Qi Lin Mountain Eighth Route Army, but we've done too many evil things in the past, would they want us?" After finishing speaking, he shrunk his neck with a fierce gaze and closed his eyes.

  "If you want it, then naturally you'll get it." A voice came over.

  The old man didn't even raise his head and said, "Hmph, it's not that simple, is it?" This wasn't the voice of Old Three. He felt a jolt in his heart and opened his eyes to look towards the source of the sound. He felt a chill run down his spine as he saw someone sitting silently beside him, their purple-red face smiling at him. Just as he was about to resist, a sharp claw clamped down on his throat. Old Three also felt something was off and lifted up the curtain of the carriage door to look inside. A hand suddenly reached out and grabbed his collar, pulling him into the carriage. The two were still in shock when someone outside cracked a whip and shouted "Drive!" The horse carriage continued to gallop forward.

  The two men stared at the creature in front of them, its body hair standing on end. Fear had almost taken their breath away, and the elder one trembled as he asked: "May I ask if you are human or ghost? If you're human, state your name. If you're a ghost, how dare you come out during broad daylight to scare people? Don't you know the difference between yin and yang?"

  That thing, neither human nor ghost, let out a strange laugh and said: "I am a ghost, I am a fierce ghost who specializes in killing you poisonous living things, come and surrender your lives! I will devour all of your flesh and drink all of your blood."

  Lao San reached for the pistol at his waist, but the fierce ghost kicked his hand away and said: "You still dare to resist in front of this king of ghosts? Then I'll take you to the 18th level of hell, make you unable to enter your ancestral tomb, and then stew, fry, and scald you for a while. Hehe, it's going to be delicious."

  The boss leaned back and said with a sigh: "What a pity, what a pity."

  Lao San shouted at the approaching Lizi: "Damn it, I can only regret that in this life I couldn't kill a few little devils to relieve my anger. Come on, come! Kill Grandpa, and twenty years later, Grandpa will definitely come back and chop up those little devils who didn't let Father enter his ancestral tomb to feed the turtles."

  The fierce ghost suddenly put down his hand and said, "It's really not fun. The traitors I caught before were all scared to death, kneeling on the ground begging for mercy. You guys are good, you look like a real hero who can kill ghosts. Not playing with you anymore." As he spoke, he wiped his face with his hand, revealing his true appearance.

  He was Yun Xiangtian, and the driver was Hu Sancui. Yun Xiangtian looked at the two brothers who were as still as wooden chickens and said: "Hey, do you really want to resist Japan and kill devils? What a pity that I had to go through so much trouble to get this car." Seeing them nodding woodenly, he smiled and patted Lao San's shoulder, then shouted out the window: "Brother Hu Sancui, I've got two more good helpers! After we're done, take them to Director Su first and tell him that these two brothers are absolutely great at killing devils. No mistake!" Hu Sancui replied: "Alright!"

  Yun Xiang Tian looked at the confused Lao Da and Lao San and said: "Two brothers, sorry for the offense. Let me introduce myself first, I am a soldier of the Eighth Route Army's Qilin Mountain Anti-Japanese Independent Brigade. It was just a joke when we first met, please don't mind. This time we came to rescue Old Lady Feng, who you are going to meet now. Unexpectedly, we ran into two righteous men who want to join the Eighth Route on the way. Alright, tell me about the situation here?"

  The two brothers were first shocked and then delighted, their emotions indescribable. The eldest brother thought to himself: "This Eighth Route Army officer is truly meticulous in his thinking, and the way he does things is humorous and flawless." He couldn't help but secretly smile as he thought about what had just happened.

  Lao San seemed to have forgotten his panic earlier and excitedly said: "I'll come I'll come, let me say it."

  According to Lao San's introduction, Lao Da was originally named Liang Dayong, and he called Wei Sanxi. Later, others picked out the middle characters of their names and called them Lao Da and Lao San. Wei Sanxi said that the Japanese had three dens in Lingfeng City, one of which had disappeared for some reason, and someone said that it was haunted by ghosts, and people were taken away by the ghosts. A Japanese man named Gu Tian came to investigate. The remaining ones are Wen Xiang Zui and a civilian house on the outskirts that we are going to now. Wei Sanxi also gave a detailed introduction to the specific situation and guard equipment of the civilian house on the outskirts.

  After the introduction, Yun Xiangtian smiled and said: "San Xi, dare you join us for a deal?"

  Su Sanxi excitedly stood up, but didn't expect to bump his head on the car's ceiling and was thrown back into the vehicle. He rubbed his head with a silly smile and said: "Dare, I've long wanted to deal with those little devils." After thinking for a moment, he corrected himself: "No, no, it's that I've long wanted to deal with those little devils." Then he burst out laughing foolishly.

  Yun Xiangtian also laughed and patted Wei Sanxi on the back, saying: "Sanxi, well done! Now you go out to drive the carriage, let Hu Sangge come in."

  Things went more smoothly than expected, and after a few ghostly brothers released a burst of smoke, the horse-drawn carriage returned along the original route. The horse-drawn carriage returned to the Drunken Fragrance Wine Workshop when it was already dark. Blindly waiting for Kai's opening mouth scolded: "Damn, you two are looking for death? It took so long to come back. Did you bring people back?"

  Liang Dàyǒng and Suí Sān Xǐ jumped down from the horse carriage. Liang Dàyǒng said respectfully: "Boss, the road is slippery, so we slowed down a bit, and it's a bit late when we returned." Suí Sān Xǐ opened the door of the carriage and was about to help Mrs. Féng get off, but suddenly he shouted: "Ghost!" and fell to the ground with a thud.

  Guī Tián quickly walked over, the scene in front of him made him terrified, and he took a step back. Féng Tiān Xióng and Wáng Qī swiftly moved to his side.

  One of the bystanders, who was carefree and happy a moment before, took one look at the person getting off the carriage and let out a loud shriek, shouting: "Oh no, it's a ghost! Come quick, everyone, catch the ghost!" In an instant, all the workers in the wine shop rushed into the courtyard.
