Chapter 785 If I Have to Sacrifice, I Want to Be the First!

Hou Bingren smiled and said: Director Du, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in. "

Arriving inside the village hall, the guests and hosts were seated. Du Fei said: "Before I came this time, I heard Comrade Chu Ming say that the Shangshui Hou family has been loyal for generations. Many of their children devoted themselves to the Anti-Japanese War and continued to fight, which is admirable."

Hou Bingren quickly said politely: "Director Du, you have given me the award." "

Although Du Fei was right, there were indeed many sons of the Hou family who joined the army, but they all voted for the opposite side, which was equivalent to making a wrong bet.

How dare he mention this again now? He quickly talked about the friendship between the Hou family and Chu Ming, and said that the Hou family was devoted to the country and was loyal to him.

After half an hour of chattering, the two sides got to the point.

Hou Bingren looked angry and talked about how the Japanese bullied others to excess, how the capitalists exploited the workers, and how the workers in Xiangjiang suffered so much...

Du Fei is also an actor. After hearing this, he slapped the table: "This is unreasonable!"

Because the movement was too loud, the people in the room were startled.

Du Fei said seriously: Village Chief Shou, don't worry! The purpose of my coming this time is to help you completely get rid of the cruel oppression of the YG people..."

"This..." Hou Bingren was startled, and something seemed wrong about what he was saying.

He knows some of the current domestic situation.

Including the uncles and uncles of the Hou family here, these people, if we take it seriously, are all landlords.

If they really want to send their troops south, will they get good results?

Several people looked at each other, this was not what they wanted.

They contacted foreign aid in order to put pressure on the south and make those greedy capital give in.

I didn't want to flip the table and die together.

Hou Bingren laughed quickly and said: "Comrade... Comrade Du, God has the virtue of a good life. Besides, we are all compatriots. If we can't use weapons, we should try our best not to use weapons."

Du Fei raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Hou Bingren, and said in a deep voice: "What are village chief Hou saying? Do you have any concerns?"

"This..." Hou Bingren grinned, and beads of sweat began to form on his forehead unknowingly.

He was not afraid of Du Fei, but he was afraid that the nest would be overturned without any eggs left intact.

For a moment, no one spoke, and the atmosphere in the room became depressed.

After a few minutes, Du Fei felt that the heat was almost done, and suddenly laughed: "Village Chief Hou, everyone, don't be nervous."

Hou Bingren's old face twitched, thinking it was strange that I wasn't nervous, but he forced a smile on his face.

Du Fei said: I was filled with righteous indignation just now. Maybe my expression was...well, not very accurate, which caused everyone to misunderstand. "

The few people on Hou Bingren's side looked at each other: This...Comrade Du, this...please make it clear. "

Du Fei waited for Wang Dabin to finish the translation and said with a smile: Although I, like you, wish to drive away the invaders now, based on reality, our attitude towards Xiangjiang remains the same as before. "

Hou Bingren breathed a sigh of relief. As always, he would not send troops.

But then, Du Fei changed the topic: 'But... As the saying goes, God helps those who help themselves! The problem in Xiangjiang is essentially your own problem. Without further changes, our help will be very limited! "

Hou Bingren was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what Du Fei meant.

The conversation continued for more than half an hour, but there was nothing serious about it.

After all, it was just the first meeting, and both parties were testing it out.

When it was over, Du Fei said goodbye, and Hou Bingren hurriedly invited the guest to entertain the distinguished guests in the evening.

Du Fei declined politely. He had to rush back to see what good things Lin Tiansheng had prepared.

.

Ever since yesterday, when he learned of Lin Tiansheng's call, Du Fei had a hunch that there might be an unexpected gain.

As for coming to Sheung Shui to meet the Hou family, it was more of a gesture.

It is estimated that the other houses will know the news of his coming here before dark.

Let’s see their reaction then.

After seeing Du Fei off, Hou Bingren and several elders of the Hou family returned to the village office.

One of the old men slapped the table: "Brother, why didn't you ask about A Lu just now? He should have been back last night, but now he has been here all day and all night..."

Hou Bingren glanced at the person who spoke: 'Acan, I know how you feel, but what do you want me to ask? You agreed to let A Lu test it out, but no one expected that it would turn out like this now. "

Hou Bingcan had nothing to say for a moment.

Hou Lu is from his family, so he can get along well outside.

Another old man on the side said: "Put Alu's matter aside for now. Today we met this Comrade Du. Let's talk about what to do next~"

But Hou Bingcan quit and said angrily: "Second brother, what are you talking about? Why don't you just ignore the co-authorship if it's not worth the price?"

The second oldest Hou Bingyi glared and was about to retort.

At this time, Hou Bingren coughed and shouted: Okay, don't make any noise. I'll call Guoquan when Alu comes back. "

Guo Quan is the boss of Zhou Changli's gang. Hou Bingren has some friendship with Guo Quan's father, and his words have weight.

Hou Bingcan stopped holding on.

He never thought that Hou Lu was already dead. He sank into the sea last night. He could not see anyone alive or dead.

Hou Bingren said again: I was a little careless this time and underestimated Du Fei. This guy is young, but he is not easy to fool at all. "

Hou Bingyi nodded: "Yes! He didn't even stay. This is because he is dissatisfied with our Hou family."

As he spoke, he glanced at the third son Hou Bingcan from the corner of his eyes.

At the beginning, Hou Bingcan was the first person to suggest that Hou Lu try Du Fei, but now it has obviously had the opposite effect.

The passerby is still missing, which means he has lost both his wife and his troops.

Hou Bingcan blew his beard and stared, snorted and looked to the side.

Hou Bingren saw that the two of them were trying to make trouble again, and immediately continued: "It's our business to begin with, and we can't always point fingers at outsiders. If we old guys can't protect the thugs working in the factory this time, we will be in trouble in the future." Don't point at those guys and listen to our greetings again..."

Then he looked at Hou Bingyi, the second eldest son, and said, "Especially your Hou Tao, who is clamoring to attend Ge Ming every day. You kept an eye on him."

The corners of Hou Bingyi's mouth twitched and he muttered "hmm".

Hou Tao is his youngest son. He is a child of old age. He is only born in his forties. He is pampered and pampered.

But he studies well. He is 19 years old and was admitted to Xiangjiang University last year. He has always been proud of him.

Unexpectedly, after going to school, for some reason, his temperament changed drastically, and he wanted to go north.

At the same time, Du Fei and Zhang Dabin drove out of the village.

Continue walking north along the dirt road.

A few kilometers further is the Shenzhen River.

But not far out of the village, several people suddenly rushed out from the road and blocked the way.

Zhang Dabin stepped on the brake.

Du Fei was shaken

.

Taking a closer look, he saw a few young people.

The leader was short in stature, with fair skin and neatly trimmed hair. His first impression gave people a bookish look, but his eyes were very bright and somewhat shrewd and alert.

Zhang Dabin, who was driving, stuck his head out of the car window and shouted: Hey, what are you doing? "

The other hand has already reached for the pistol in his waist.

Although the other party looks young and doesn't look like a gangster, you have to be careful in a place like this.

This is almost the boundary river, a place where neither side cares.

The young man leading the group on the opposite side took two steps forward and said loudly: "My name is Hou Tao, who is Comrade Du Fei? I am from the branch of Xiangjiang University. I have something to tell Comrade Du Fei."

Du Fei was slightly surprised that Hou Tao could actually speak Mandarin!

Although it is a broad spectrum of turtle's feet, don't forget, where we are, this era is not easy.

Du Fei opened the door and got out of the car, and said with a smile: "I am Du Fei, Comrade Hou Tao, can I call you this?"

Hearing the word "comrade", Hou Tao was a little excited. He took a few steps forward and shook hands with Du Fei tightly: "Comrade Du Fei, we have finally waited for you!"

Du Fei said: "You knew I was coming?"

Hou Tao calmed down: a week ago, our branch received instructions from superiors, saying that a superior comrade named Du would come to guide the work. We have been waiting, but there is no new news. I didn’t expect to meet you when I went home today. Got it! "

Du Fei nodded. When he was in Guangzhou, President Wang of the Xinh Branch did mention it to Zhu Ting, saying that there was a branch here at Xiangda University that could be mobilized when necessary.

It's just that Du Fei came over and was in no hurry to go.

Firstly, I feel that a group of students is useless, and secondly, there is no need for them for the time being.

Du Fei looked behind Hou Tao again and asked, "Are these also from your branch?"

There were seven or eight others of similar age who came with Hou Tao, but judging from their eyes and temperament, they did not look like college students.

Hou Tao hurriedly explained: These are the activists I have developed in the village. Maybe they are not aware enough now, but they will definitely become qualified comrades one day! "

Du Fei nodded secretly, Hou Tao's organizational skills were quite strong.

However, being able to get admitted to the University of Hong Kong is definitely rare in the village. If you can speak and do things a little, it will not be difficult to accumulate prestige.

Especially among peers, those who do not study well, no matter how dismissive they are.

But deep down, it is actually easier to admire and identify with peers who study well.

Rejection and disdain are just a kind of self-protection.

Obviously, Hou Tao did this very well.

But Du Fei didn't understand. What did Hou Tao mean by leading people to stop him?

Hou Tao quickly calmed down after getting excited.

He said in a deep voice: "Ling Xiu once said that if you seek peace through struggle, you will survive peacefully, and if you seek peace through compromise, you will perish peacefully. My uncle, third uncle and fourth uncle don't understand, and they always place their hopes on the enemy's compromise."

Du Fei could hear something about it. This young man obviously had more ideas.

And that's exactly what Duffy needs.

Du Fei asked: "What do you want to do?"

Hou Tao said firmly: Go up the mountain, guerrilla, and fight the enemy to the end! Drive away those arrogant invaders completely! "

Having said this, he looked at Du Fei with expectant eyes: "It's not just me, many people in our branch are like this."

Think so. Comrade! We need help 'at home'! "

Meeting Hou Tao's eyes, even Du Fei's heart was slightly touched.

The sound of "comrade" contains too many expectations, and the sound of "home" is full of a sense of belonging.

At least at this time, Hou Tao didn't have any impurities in his heart.

There are only simple beliefs and ideals, and the determination to defeat the enemy.

Du Fei did not agree immediately. He looked at him for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Are you really ready? This is not a child's play. War can kill people! Do you understand?"

Hou Tao nodded firmly: "I have great ambition to make sacrifices. I dare to make the sun and moon change the sky! If I really have to sacrifice, I would like to be the first!"

Behind Hou Tao, a skinny young man who was fighting against the enemy suddenly shouted: I am following Brother Tao, I am not afraid of death! "

Then several young people who came together expressed their opinions.

Du Fei licked his lips. He had something else to say, but now they were so excited that they couldn't say anything.

He simply got to the point and asked: "Comrade Hou Tao, since you came to me, you must have been prepared a long time ago. How many people are there in total? What help do you want?"

Hou Tao pondered for a moment: "What we need most is weapons. We have 300 people now, but only a few earthen guns. We can't fight at all."

Du Fei thought about it and shook his head.

Hou Tao's face changed and he immediately opened his mouth to beg.

But Du Fei said first: "Three hundred people are not enough. Not to mention the Japanese stationed in J, there are 20,000 to 30,000 police alone. Even if I arm you all, it will be a drop in the bucket and a waste of sacrifice."

"This..." Hou Tao was speechless.

Du Fei said again: "Also, although Xinjiang has hills and forests, it is surrounded by the sea on three sides, the space is small, and there is no depth. How can you fight guerrilla warfare? "

"I..." Hou Tao still didn't know how to answer.

He was very enthusiastic and had a firm belief, but he was still too immature. He wanted to do something big with just his passion.

This is also a common problem among students.

He has goals and ideals, but lacks practical experience and ability.

But Hou Tao is very smart. Just when he felt extremely frustrated, he suddenly froze and looked up at Du Fei.

An idea came to his mind. Isn't this a ready-made teacher!

Although Du Fei is very young, he is a leader sent by his superiors to guide them.

Since Du Fei raised these problems, there must be a solution!

Thinking of this, Hou Tao stared at Du Fei eagerly: Comrade, you are a superior leader, you must have a way, right?"

Du Fei patted him on the shoulder and said: "Comrade Hou Tao, it's good that you have the awareness of sacrifice, but the revolution is for victory rather than sacrifice. Don't put the cart before the horse. As for your idea, it's not impossible, but now is not the time."

Hou Tao asked hurriedly: Why? "

Du Fei said: "It's very simple. If you want to fight guerrilla warfare, other difficulties can be overcome, but there is one condition that cannot be lacking, that is the mass base!"

"Mass base?"

Hou Tao frowned and repeated.

Du Fei said: "Yes, it is the mass base. When the enemy comes, someone will inform you. When there is no food to eat, the people will squeeze out rations even if they are hungry. If you are wounded in battle, you don't need to evacuate, you can hide in the homes of local people to recover. Do you think you can do these? "

"This..." Hou Tao gritted his teeth, but the word "ability" was as valuable as gold, and he couldn't say it.
