"Comrade Li Xiyue, right?" The new postman greeted with a smile, then rummaged through the mail bag and found a letter. "This is your letter."

Li Xiyue looked at the letter in his hand, but did not take it. Instead, she took a step back and said, "You are not a postman at all!"

This person smelled of medicine. If she guessed correctly, there was medicine on the letter and she would faint if she touched it. This person was not a postman, but an enemy spy disguised as a postman!

When the postman saw that he was seen through, the smile on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by a ruthless look. He stretched out his hand and attacked Li Xiyue.

Li Xiyue was prepared and dodged it easily. Just as he was about to fight back, the enemy spy was hit hard from behind. With a bang, he fell to the ground, and a big bump was visible behind his head.

She looked up in surprise and saw that it was Xu Guoqiang.

Xu Guoqiang was holding a carrying pole, and before he could retract his striking gesture, he propped the pole on the ground, one hand on his waist, and cursed: "Damn it, I knew he wasn't a good person. He dared to sneak into our Xujia Village. I think he was trying to light a lamp in a pit, looking for death!"

"Captain." Li Xiyue smiled. She didn't expect that Xu Guoqiang, a militiaman, was so capable that he could identify the enemy spy.

Xu Guoqiang said, "I felt something was wrong the moment I saw him. I didn't know what he was going to do. Turns out he was targeting you, Li Zhiqing."

When Deputy Captain Chu left that day, he looked for him and told him to be careful and be on guard if there were any strangers in the village.

Of course, even if Deputy Captain Chu didn't say it, he would still be on guard, after all, he is the captain of the military and civilians.

Li Xiyue was about to speak again when Xiaobai yelled and rushed out.

The two looked and found that the enemy spy had woken up and ran away.

Li Xiyue immediately chased after him.

Xu Guoqiang shouted anxiously, "Li Zhiqing, don't go, it's dangerous..." Thinking of her killing a wild boar in the morning, he felt that perhaps the enemy spy was in danger.

So he turned around and went home, blowing the bugle towards the village.

Xu Dashan, who was playing with his son at home, was stunned when he heard the noise. Then he handed Xiao Panpan to his wife and said, "Hurry up and take our son to the air-raid shelter!"

He went into the house, took out the wooden box and ran away quickly.

"Dashan!" Fang Yue'e shouted anxiously. Seeing that her husband had disappeared, her heart was pounding and she went out with her son in her arms.

Naturally, the other villagers also heard the horn sound that would be blown when the Japanese invaders entered the village. The militia would conduct an exercise every year, and as soon as they heard this horn sound, the whole village would be on alert immediately.

The men picked up the things in the house and rushed out, while the women took the elderly and children and went out to take shelter in the air-raid shelters in the mountains.

Zhao Cuihua, Lai Di's mother, who was beating her daughter, was so startled by the sound that she stopped. When Lai Di and her daughters saw that their mother had stopped beating them, they tried to run away, but were pulled back by their mother. She picked up the younger brother and led them all the way to the other side of the mountain like a hen leading her chicks.

Erniu was picking herbs on the hillside. When she heard the horn, she dropped her basket and rushed home.

Wang Cuihua was running around the yard chasing her frantic son when she heard the bugle call. She said to Xu Shoutian, who rushed out of the house with weapons in hand, "I'm going to fight the Japanese. You take our son to the air-raid shelter."

"How can a woman fight the Japanese? This is a man's business. Take your son and leave quickly. Don't hold me back." Xu Shoutian pushed her away and was about to go out.

Xu Dazhuang recovered from his madness and snatched his father's weapon. "Fight the Japs! I want to fight the Japs!"

Liu Qingju's house next door was also in chaos. Liu Qingju hugged her husband's legs and said, "I have caused the Xu family to be extinct. I am a sinner. I will go to fight the Japanese. If I die, I can still win back some face for the Xu family. Then you can marry someone older and beautiful and have another son!"

"Bullshit! I'm an old man, how can I still give birth?" Xu Shoucai said impatiently, "Let me go, you bitch! If you delay any longer, the Japanese will run away!"

"Dad, Mom, I'm going!" Xu Dading, who had been lying in the house, came out shirtless. He had been depressed these days and had become thinner, looking like a stick insect.

"Son, why are you going? I'm still here, it's not your turn to go to the battlefield!" Xu Shoucai shouted angrily.

Xu Dading said: "I am a useless person anyway. If I can kill a Japanese soldier once in my life, it will be worth it even if I die!"

Xu Shoucai burst into tears upon hearing this. "Son, we are the descendants of martyrs. Your grandfather was a hero of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. We can be idle and have no proper job, but we cannot do anything that harms the world!"

Liu Qingju covered her face and cried bitterly, "It has nothing to do with my son. It's my fault, it's all my fault. I tarnished the Xu family. I'm going to fight the Japanese. If I die, I will have done justice to the old man who sacrificed his life for his country!"

Xu Xiangyang was making medicine for Xu Jianmin when he heard the horn and rushed out of the kitchen, "Uncle, I'll take you and Sister Xiulan to the air-raid shelter first."

"Xiangyang, go and provide support first, don't worry about us," said Xu Jianmin.

Xu Xiangyang shook his head, "But your legs can't walk, and Sister Xiulan can't carry you."

"Then we can stay at home and just close the doors and windows." Xu Jianmin held his nephew's shoulders and said, "Xiangyang, go ahead. You are a militiaman and a descendant of a martyr. When the Japanese come, you must rush to the front immediately."

If his leg was not broken, he would never let his nephew go. Now that his nephew has replaced his position as a militiaman, the responsibility of protecting the villagers can only be given to his nephew.

Xu Xiangyang nodded heavily, "Okay, uncle, I'll go, you guys protect yourselves."

He went back to the house to get the wooden warehouse, glanced at his uncle and Gao Xiulan, and quickly left.

Gao Xiulan locked the gate of the yard, her heart pounding.

"Don't be afraid, even if I die, I will protect you." Xu Jianmin said, holding her hand.

Gao Xiulan's eyes reddened and she nodded with a smile.

At Uncle Xu's house, Xu Guoqing was cutting his grandfather's hair with a razor. When he heard the horn, he asked in confusion, "Drill?"

It was hot, so Uncle Xu Liu had his hair cut short. He shook his almost-cut head and said, "I didn't hear there was going to be an exercise today."

"Could it be?" Xu Guoqing's eyes slowly showed excitement, "The Japs are coming!"

Uncle Xu predicted his grandson's next move and pulled him back, saying, "Don't make trouble. Come with me to the air-raid shelter!"

After blowing the bugle, Xu Guoqiang picked up his own wooden barn and was about to go out. Grandma Yu and Sun Xia held Xu Lanlan in one hand and Hu Zi in the other, and warned them, "Be careful."

Seeing their solemn expressions, as if they had experienced a life-or-death separation, Xu Guoqiang couldn't help but say, "It's just one enemy spy, it's nothing serious. Just close the door and don't let anyone in."

He blew the alarm to prevent the villagers from running around, so as to avoid being captured by enemy spies and taken hostage, which would cause trouble.

one?

Grandma Yu and Sun Xia looked at each other, both speechless. Why are you blowing the alarm when there is only one enemy spy?

Those who didn’t know would think that the Japanese had entered the village!
