Mayor Cui was stunned, looked at Liu Yang in bewilderment and hummed: "Mr. Liu, I don't know if you want these things¡ª"
"It's for fighting devils." Liu Yang replied very simply. It is really too wasteful to just put the painstakingly built Beijing Temple like this, and it is necessary to give the little devil a surprise.
Oh, Mayor Cui nodded, although he didn't know what Liu Yang was planning, but as long as it was to beat devils, then what's the point? Seeing Liu Yang asked Zhao Laifu to hand over Dayang, Mayor Cui waved his hand.
"Mr. Liu doesn't need it. Fighting against the Japanese invaders is not just a matter for your soldiers. We ordinary people have to do something. As long as it is needed for the people of Huli Town, Mr. Liu will never refuse."
Although these words were plain, without even a trace of passion, Liu Yang was in awe. Although Mayor Cui was a bit of a philistine, a bit of a feudalist, and sometimes even bullied others, he was worthy of a Chinese when it came to big issues of right and wrong.
Call a servant over and arrange for the servant to take the money to buy gunpowder, iron fragments and nails. In fact, it doesn't cost much, and Mayor Cui is also very generous.
What's more, Mayor Cui also understands that once the little devils come in, without the support of these Qiuba, Huli Town will definitely turn into Shura Hell, will your own things still be yours by then?
"Mayor Cui, there is one more thing I want to trouble you with, but it's a bit embarrassing¡ª" After hesitating for a while, Liu Yang gave a wry smile. This last thing is the most important part of this plan.
"I need some snake venom or other poisonous things, preferably ones that can kill people¡ª"
Hearing this, Mayor Cui seems to understand something, but this is indeed a bit embarrassing. There are two medicinal herb shops in the town, and they may be able to gather some arsenic and the like, but the amount is definitely not large, and it may not be enough for Liu Yang.
Just as he was struggling with his brain, the housekeeper of the Cui family suddenly approached Mayor Cui and whispered in a low voice: "Master, isn't there a snake village more than a dozen miles away from the town? There is a snake king in the snake village, maybe he can help. "
His eyes lit up, and Mayor Cui became energetic. The Snake Village is also under his jurisdiction, but he has never been to that place, because the Snake Village is full of poisonous snakes. It is precisely because of this that it is named Snake Village.
There is a snake king in Shezhuang, named Li Baozhu. It is said that he grew up in the snake den. He is not very old this year, he is only in his thirties. He has played with snakes since he was a child. He is afraid of any snake when he sees him. No snake has dared to. Bite him, no matter what kind of snake it is, as long as he goes out on horseback, he can't catch it.
"By the way, Chief Liu, there is a snake farm more than ten miles west of this town. Every household raises snakes there, and there are many poisonous snakes among them. As long as you find the snake king, you will be able to get what you need."
Having said that, Cui Zhen immediately smiled wryly: "But I won't accompany you, the Snake King doesn't want to see me."
Those who live in eight villages around here don¡¯t know the mayor Cui. In the past, the mayor Cui dealt with the snake king Li Baozhu. It was the mayor Cui who went to the snake village to collect taxes. Naturally, the villagers were unwilling to pay taxes, and a dispute arose as a result. .
Mayor Cui was full of style, so he asked the town's security team to arrest people, which annoyed Li Baozhu. He threw out an unknown number of poisonous snakes, scaring Mayor Cui and fleeing. Since then, there have been more poisonous snakes near the snake village. Mayor Cui never visited again.
King Snake? Interesting, Liu Yang's heart moved, and he nodded to Mayor Cui: "Since this is the case, it's not too late. I'll go and have a look. I just wiped out a squadron of little devils, and maybe the little devil's brigade will come over at any time. .¡±
As soon as the words fell, Liu Yang turned around and left, leaving the mayor Cui in a daze, he forgot to see Liu Yang off, it took him a long time to come to his senses, a squadron of Japanese soldiers, there are quite a few of them, his heart moved, he hurried to the housekeeper He ordered: "Prepare the food and wine immediately, I am going to work in the army."
Not to mention how Mayor Cui felt when he saw the head of Jingguan when he went to Laojun, but Liu Yang rushed to Shezhuang all the way.
The little devil came calling, and many people in Shezhuang had already fled, but most of them did not. After all, Shezhuang is different from other villages in that they are protected by a herd of snakes.
It is now the end of November, the weather is getting colder, and there are no snakes and insects to be seen, and Liu Yang can't imagine what the snake village will be like in summer.
As soon as I entered the Snake Village, I saw that the doors of every house were closed, but someone was looking out from the crack of the door. Maybe it was the national army who came, and then I heard someone talking.
Randomly looking for a family, Liu Yang made a military salute and said loudly: "My fellow, I am from the 11th Division of the Central Army. I am currently stationed in Huli Town. I heard that there is a snake king in your village. I want to ask him something. I don¡¯t know. Which is his house?"
I heard it belonged to the Central Army, plus ???Yang also spoke politely, and the villagers opened the door. A man stood timidly inside the door, and pointed to the north of the village: "Look for Baozhu, he is alone in his family in the north of the village."
He nodded, thanked the villagers, and went straight to the north of the village. Sure enough, there was a single family more than a hundred meters away from the village in the north of the village. Get up a yard, there is a jujube tree in the yard, and then it is full of withered grass, leaving only a thick road leading to the door.
"Is Li Baozhu, the snake king, at home?" Liu Yang sat on the horse and looked into the yard. The door was open, so someone should be at home.
It's just that Liu Yang's voice fell, and there was no response for a long time. Liu Yang couldn't bear it any longer. He simply got off his horse and prepared to go in to have a look, but he was grabbed by Zhao Laifu just after he got off his horse.
"Company commander, you can't go in casually. Look in the haystack." Following Zhao Laifu's hand and looking over the haystack, he could vaguely see a snake head in the haystack. Everything has changed. There is more than one poisonous snake in this haystack. At a glance, there are dozens or hundreds of them, all with triangular heads.
At this time there were poisonous snakes, Liu Yang's scalp felt numb for a while, he didn't dare to enter the yard anymore, he just shouted at the top of his voice, who knew that his throat was about to smoke, but no one answered.
Liu Yang couldn't stand it yet, but Zhao Laifu couldn't. There was still smoke coming from the chimney, there must be someone in the house, but he didn't answer. What's the difference between this and a slap in the face? Get up: "Damn it, don't give you shame, our company commander thinks highly of you when you come to find you, don't you show your face¡ª"
Zhao Laifu was also in a hurry, snorted, raised his gun suddenly, and the gun went off with a bang, which startled Liu Yang. Fortunately, he knew that Zhao Laifu would never dare to hurt anyone casually, but he also gave Zhao Laifu a bitter look. .
This shot went in through the window and directly smashed the oil lamp of King Snake's house, which really gave King Snake a little color and made you have no light at night, that's what you deserved.
Not surprisingly, Zhao Laifu's shot angered Li Baozhu, the snake king, and he heard a scolding from the room: "Bastards, you thought you were the only ones with guns, right? I'll let you try Grandpa's guns¡ª"
Both Liu Yang and Zhao Laifu were startled, they subconsciously realized something was wrong, but before they could move, they heard a gunshot, a bullet knocked off Zhao Laifu's hat and took away a lock of hair, they were so frightened Zhao Laifu's face turned green. He knew that the other party would not dare to hurt others easily, but he turned over in fright and hid behind a tree.
There was a flash of light in his eyes, but Liu Yang didn't move. He looked up and down at the man who came out of the door. He was in his thirties and had a big face. He was energetic, but it was a pity that after only a moment, he lost his energy again, looked lazy, and looked mockingly at Zhao Laifu who was hiding behind the tree.
"Li Baozhu, right? I am Liu Yang, commander of the third company of the 11th Division of the Central Army. I am currently stationed in Huli Town. I have good marksmanship¡ª" Seeing Li Baozhu holding the old sleeve in his hand, Liu Yang had some thoughts in his mind. From the standing posture to the movement of pointing the gun, it is likely that Li Baozhu has been a soldier.
Li Baozhu snorted, and didn't take the company commander Liu Yang seriously at all: "There is nothing good about being an official. Get out, or don't blame me for being rude."
It seems that he doesn't like the officials, Liu Yang doesn't care, his eyes are shining brightly, he said: "Li Baozhu, since he has such a good marksmanship, why don't he join the army to fight devils, is it interesting to hide in a small village. "
"That's none of your business, get out of here¡ª" He spat sullenly, and Li Baozhu didn't discuss it with Liu Yang at all.
Liu Yang was about to speak, but he didn't want to hear Zhao Laifu behind the tree lower his voice and say: "Company commander, do you want to shoot down his gun?"
He shook his head lightly. This is a talent, but it seems a bit world-weary. It is no good to push too hard. Thoughts were spinning in his mind, and he took a deep breath: "Li Baozhu, I don't care what your reason is, but I have something to tell you , With this ability, I don¡¯t say anything about serving the country, at least I should come to the army to fight the devils, and avenge the death of Wuxi¡¯s fellow villagers¡ª¡±
"Get out¡ª" Li Baozhu yelled without waiting for Liu Yang to finish speaking.
His face darkened, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he snorted: "Li Baozhu, I don't care what happened to you before, but that has nothing to do with me. I just came to you today to ask for some snake venom, which is used to kill little devils. Will you give it or not?"
Li Baozhu opened his mouth, then suddenly fell silent, and after a while he said in a low voice: "Okay, I'll give you snake venom, get out of here quickly, I don't want to see you."
As soon as the voice fell, he turned around and went to Wuli to take a clay pot, then strode to the yard, burrowed into the haystack, and turned a poisonous snake around.
Liu Yang recognized the poisonous snake, it turned out to be a five-step snake, but Li Baozhu held it in his hand, and he didn't seem to attack Li Baozhu at all. The five-step snake vomited its venom, so Li Baozhu grabbed another one casually, but it was replaced by a silver ring snake¡ª(Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com), One got into the withered grass, and turned around a poisonous snake.
Liu Yang recognized the poisonous snake, which turned out to be a five-paced snake, but Li Baozhu held it in his hand, without any sign of attacking Li Baozhu. Li Baozhu grabbed the snake's head and knocked on the side of the pot, and the snake's venom flowed into the pot.
