With Pinxixi in hand, I have a supermarket in the Changzheng!

"Why are there so few people in Maotai Town?"

The Red Army arrived at Maotai Town in the early morning of March 3. After entering the town, it was cold and quiet everywhere, which made people feel weird.

The Red Army soldiers were walking on the road. The shops on both sides were all locked, the doors of other houses were closed, and there were few people on the road.

"I heard that Maotai Town is quite lively, how could this happen?"

When they passed by a thatched hut, the old lady standing at the door saw them coming and hurried to go in.

But somehow his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

Seeing someone fall, two Red Army soldiers hurried over and tried to help the old man up.

"Auntie, are you okay?"

The old lady had thin cheeks and her eyes were full of fear.

"Don't, don't kill me!"

When the soldiers heard this, they were somewhat confused.

They helped her up with good intentions, how could they kill someone?

Commander Liu also came over at this time and tried to calm the old lady down.

"Don't be afraid, old lady. We, the Red Army, will not harm ordinary people."

There was still some fear in the old lady's eyes, "But, but Bai Gouzi said..."

Although the old lady didn't say anything else, the Red Army soldiers understood.

Along the way, the enemy spread a lot of rumors. They told the people in the towns and villages that the Red Army were all fierce and fanged and would kill people without blinking an eye.

These common people had never seen the Red Army, so naturally they believed it. No wonder the town was so deserted; it seemed that everyone had gone into hiding.

After comforting the old lady, some Red Army soldiers discovered that many people in the town had hidden in the back hills and were afraid to return to the town.

Seeing that everyone had such a deep misunderstanding of the Red Army, Commander Liu sent the Red Army to the back mountain to explain the reasons to the people in the town.

At this time, on the back mountain, the people saw a group of people in military uniforms approaching, and they wanted to run away.

The soldiers were helpless and quickly called them to stop.

"Don't run, fellow, we are really not bad people!"

"How can you believe what the white dog says? We never bully ordinary people!"

"We all come from poor families and will never bully our fellow villagers!"

After much persuasion from the Red Army soldiers, the villagers finally let down their guard and returned to the town one after another.

The originally deserted street suddenly became lively again.

"Wow! What a nice smell of wine!"

There are many small vendors selling wine on this street. After the villagers come back, they continue to do business on the street.

After the barrels were opened, the aroma spread all over the street.

"Ding ding candy! Ding ding candy! Eat it and you won't miss mom!"

In the bustling street market, there was a peddler walking through the streets carrying ding ding candies on his shoulder.

Zhou Yue couldn't help swallowing her saliva when she saw this. She still remembered that when she was in elementary school, there was an old man selling ding ding candies at the door.

Every time, there would be a group of children surrounding the old man. They could buy a big piece for fifty cents. It had the aroma of malt and was sweet and delicious.

Zhou Xing saw his sister staring at Ding Ding Candy and couldn't take her eyes off.

So she took out a penny from her bag and said, "Sister, how about we buy some to try?"

"Hey, ok!"

She had used up all her money on eggs when making dumplings last time, so she could only eat her brother's candy.

I have to say that the prices in this era are really low. You can buy several pieces of Ding Ding Candy for one cent.

Zhou Xing broke off a small piece and put it into his mouth. He sipped it for a while, and his eyes narrowed with happiness.

"Sister! It's so sweet! It tastes better than sugar!"

Zhou Yue also took a piece and put it in her mouth, savoring it carefully. Suddenly, she noticed from the corner of her eye that there was someone next to them staring at them.

He was a little boy of seven or eight years old. The clothes he wore looked like patchwork pieces of cloth.

It's so cold today, but he's still wearing tattered straw sandals with his toes exposed.

I stared at the jingle candies in their hands and my saliva was about to flow.

Zhou Yue naturally felt embarrassed to eat alone as such a poor child was looking at her.

She took a large piece of Ding Ding candy and walked over to the little boy.

"Here, little friend, I'll give you one, too."

The little boy's eyes sparkled with great surprise, and he took the candy with both hands, as if he was holding some treasure.

The little boy licked it with his tongue and almost cried.

"Sister, are you also in the Red Army?"

Zhou Yue smiled and nodded, "Yes, we are all Red Army soldiers."

"It turns out that the Red Army is so good, those white dogs are all liars!"

The little boy's voice was very loud, and his voice, which had not yet changed, was childish.

Some Red Army soldiers standing nearby were amused.

"Haha, that's right! Not only do we in the Red Army not bully the common people, we also help them fight the bad guys!"

The little boy held a Jingle Candy in his hand and raised his head with eyes that were black and bright.

"Uncle Hongjun, are you telling the truth?"

"of course!"

"Tang Mazi in our town is the biggest villain!"

Wherever the Red Army soldiers went, they would help the villagers solve the problems faced by landlords and bullies. When they heard the little boy say this, they all took it seriously.

"Little friend, tell us in detail."

The little boy pointed to a big house at the end of the long street.

"That's Tang Mazi's home. He was actually very poor before, but his cousin became the leader of the Bai Gouzi and made a lot of money over the years."

"How does he make money?"

After hearing what the boy said, the soldiers subconsciously felt that Tang Mazi's money must have come from an illegal source.

"They have appropriated other people's land for their own use, and they always ask for protection money. If you don't pay, they will beat you up!"

The soldiers were a little angry when they heard this. What they hated most was people who bullied the weak and the common people.

"This evil man is so hateful! He must be eradicated!"

When the little boy heard a soldier with a gun on his back say this, he walked over and pulled at the corner of his clothes, his tone very earnest.

"Uncle Hongjun, can you ask Tang Mazi to return my acre of sorghum land? Last time he took my land, my father was so angry that he fell ill."

In Maotai Town, almost every household knows how to brew liquor using traditional methods, and the main raw material for making liquor is local high-quality glutinous sorghum.

Many families here grow sorghum so that they can make their own liquor.

Since his cousin became rich, Tang Mazi has been engaged in the business of brewing and selling wine, and has gradually shown a tendency to monopolize it.

He occupied the sorghum fields of many villagers and hired people to brew wine day and night in his own winery.

He made a lot of silver dollars by selling the brewed liquor, and he had a big house, a big yard, and concubines.

However, it was a pity for the poor people whose land was occupied by him and the street vendors who made a living by selling alcohol. They were squeezed and had no room to live.

The soldiers felt heartbroken when they saw the pitiful appearance of the little boy.

He patted his little head and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely get your sorghum field back for you!"

After that, the soldiers left and reported the situation to their leaders.

Chief Liu immediately issued an order, "This bully must be eradicated! Send a team into the Tang family compound to seek justice for the villagers!"
