Zhou Cheng went crazy when he returned to the yard and rushed to the opportunity to speak.

"Tang Shengbo, tell me first!" Zhou Cheng had a good impression of this person. He took the initiative to take the lead twice and solved a lot of trouble for himself.

Tang Shengbo seemed to have seen the white ocean waved to him again, so excited that he almost jumped up and quickly said, "Thank you, sir!"

"As far as I know, Zhou Xuhui takes the initiative to go to the Donghui Town stronghold to contact the Japanese and puppet troops. Sometimes he goes there himself, and sometimes he sends people there. I have been sent once and meets Company Commander Zhang of the Imperial Army."

"Before the Japanese came, many people in nearby villages and towns called Zhou Xuhui brothers. Since the Zhou family climbed the Japanese tree, in order not to be called traitors by outsiders, few people have come to find Zhou Xuhui!"

"I'm not very clear about the third question. After all, I have only been in the Zhou family for more than two months!"

"Very good!" Zhou Cheng was very satisfied with his answer, thought for a while and made a decision.

"Our Eighth Route Army keeps its word. You can get six oceans as travel expenses when you leave!"

The other prisoners were jealous, and one of them jumped out on the spot: "Sir, I know the third question."

"I stayed in the Zhou family for two years. At first I worked as a servile yard and then became a guard."

"I just recalled that in the past two years, at least twenty households have been destroyed by Zhou Xuhui."

This is an important piece of information. In Zhou Cheng's eyes, these people have a grudge against Zhou Xuhui, so they are definitely the most likely source of reserve troops to join the village protection team.

Immediately ordered: "Xiang Feng, take him over and ask him to explain all the details of these ordinary people, and write down any of them. None of them can be missed. After that, I will give him an extra piece of travel expenses."

After spending only two oceans, Zhou Chengru learned all the information he wanted to know from the prisoner.

As soon as he returned to the front yard of Zhou's family, Li Yifan followed him with an excited look on his face.

"The captain, the grain warehouse and the cellar where Zhou Xuhui has hidden money have been found."

"The granary is full of grain, full of white flour, millet, sorghum, and hundreds of kilograms of rice from the south."

"I found a few boxes in the cellar, two boxes filled with oceans, a total of 1,850 yuan."

"A small box contains gold, two big yellow croakers, eight small yellow croakers, and some gold and silver jewelry."

"Two ammunition boxes, one loads bullets and the other loads grenades. Zhou Xuhui found fifty pistol bullets in his bedroom and loaded them in a small box."

"I'm rich, captain..." Xiang Feng jumped up from the ground with excitement.

Zhou Cheng also had a happy face: "It's great. From today on, our village protection team finally has its own family background."

"I decided to continue to seal the seized finance, ammunition, and grain. We will stay in the Zhou family compound and leave the next half month to a month."

"There is another big thing to do: reduce the loss of this ambush, and we have nine guns left, two of which were just captured."

"We cannot leave weapons idle and useless, so the strength of the village guard team must continue to increase."

"You go to do this task: immediately take 300 yuan from the captured ocean, add eight new recruits, each of you will be given 30 yuan for the ocean settlement fee, and then send it to Xiaoling Village in person, and then lead the team to send everyone's settlement fee back to Xiaoling Village."

"I remember to leak this news so that the villagers can know that the village protection team pays the team members a house payment, and then Yifan, you will recruit soldiers in the village and expand the village protection team."

Xiang Feng was anxious and asked immediately: "Captain, where is my mission?"

Li Hao had already thought about it and immediately ordered: "The list of villagers who have been persecuted by Zhou Xuhui in the past two years has been counted. You will lead two team members and two prisoners to visit each other according to the list. According to their actual situation, you will compensate for some food and oceans, and at the same time mobilize them to join our village protection team."

"As long as you are not the only son and voluntarily join the village protection team, each new team member, like an old team member, will have a 30-yuan settlement fee, and then the newly recruited recruits will be sent to the Zhou family compound for training."

"In two days, expand the village protection team to thirty people, and then seize the time to train and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible."

"As for the Japanese and puppet troops, I have already thought of tricks to deal with them and ensure that Xiaoling Village will not be attacked within a month."

Xiang Feng and Li Yifan nodded one after another, each recording their own tasks.

In Xiaoling Village, the villagers returned to normal, working from sunrise to sunset as before.

At six o'clock in the morning, before the villagers could go out, a large truck full of food appeared at the entrance of the village.

The leader was Li Yifan, followed by two team members from Xiaoling Village, with very excited expressions.

Because the truck not only contains some food that the village guard team compensates for the villagers, but also the settlement fee that the village guard team will soon give to all the team members, and their share is also included.

"Bang bang..." Li Yifan rang the bell at the entrance of the village with the company of the old village chief.

The bell sounded like an order. In less than ten minutes, more than 300 villagers gathered at the entrance of the village.

Suddenly being stared at by hundreds of pairs of eyes, Li Yifan was even more nervous than when he was in the war yesterday.

I took several deep breaths to calm myself down and shouted at the top of my throat: "Friends, I have been entrusted by Captain Zhou of the Hu Village Team to send food to everyone."

"Because the limited quantity, each person can only receive five kilograms for the time being. Regardless of age and young, each person will send a representative and the old village chief will supervise it, and come to the village entrance to receive food to relieve everyone's pressure."

The villagers were crazy, to be precise, they were crazy about being happy.

Although five kilograms of food are not much, each person will eat it for at least five days.

If there are many children at home and eat less, five kilograms of food per person are enough for the whole family to eat for seven or eight days.

For the villagers who have long been unable to eat, these foods are like timely help.

"There is one more thing!" Li Yifan pressed his hands and continued to say after all the villagers kept silent.

"There are eight people in the village who join the village protection team to protect everyone. In order to compensate their families, we decided to give each team member 30 yuan of ocean settlement fees."

"Although not much, this is the little bit of our village protection team's wish."

"I have brought all the oceans, and the old village chief will take us to pay these settlement fees from house to house."

"The third thing: In order to better protect the village, the village protection team must increase its manpower."

"The villagers can voluntarily join the village protection team. As long as we meet our conditions and successfully join the village protection team, the new team members, like the old team members, each of them will have 30 yuan of settlement fees."

The envy in the eyes of the villagers was immediately replaced by the scorching heat.

In normal years, the whole family may not be able to save three oceans throughout the year. Thirty oceans are equivalent to the savings of the whole family for at least ten years, and it is difficult not to be jealous.

When I heard that the village protection team was still recruiting people, many people became hot, and I was thinking about whether someone could join the village protection team at home, especially those families with many brothers.
