Traveling through 1942 with space

After cleaning the livestock shed of Yichun Building, Hou Xiaoge took a sickle and carved the four big characters "提天行道" directly on the wall of the livestock shed, and then ran towards Fan's Dental Clinic.

After all, the disappearance of such a large livestock would not be kept secret for long, so Hou Xiaoge had to act quickly and run away.

Arriving at the back wall of Fan’s Dental Clinic, Hou Xiaoge chose to collect the mule first. He threw a few handfuls of grass for the annoying donkey to eat, and started cutting the rattan rope with a pair of scissors.

It took him five minutes to collect three mules and an ox. Before he could collect the rest, he heard voices coming from the yard.

Collecting items from a long distance consumes too much mental energy, so Hou Xiaoge decided to quit while he was ahead and run away.

After arriving at an empty corner, Hou Xiaoge returned directly to the space and put on his original clothes. He did not dare to stay in the city for long and walked hurriedly towards the city gate.

Sure enough, not long after Hou Xiaoge walked onto the street, the street behind him became chaotic, and from time to time, black-skinned people ran towards Fan’s Dental Clinic and Yichun Building.

Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels far and wide. Many people began to talk about the fact that Fan's Dental Clinic and Yichun Tower had been robbed by thieves.

In this situation, if we don't escape quickly, with the power of the Fan family, if the city is sealed off for investigation, we probably won't be able to leave today.

Hou Xiaoge didn't run away either, as that would attract more attention. As a child he wouldn't be able to explain himself, and the government would not listen to reason with him.

Fortunately, the county town was relaxed inside but tight outside, and there was no inspection when leaving the city. Hou Xiaoge skipped out of the city with an empty little backpack on his back.

"Hurry, hurry, the Fan family was robbed, and Mr. Fan is furious. Anyone leaving the city from now on will be strictly checked." Not long after Hou Xiaoge left the city, a black dog patrolling on horseback came to the city gate and started notifying.

As soon as Hei Gouzi finished speaking, the crowd leaving the city immediately became chaotic. Most of the people entering the city had bought some things, and it would be terrible if they were robbed by these Hei Gouzi.

"Heiwa, here, we are here." Less than a hundred meters out of the city, Hou Yangmin, who was staring at the city gate not far away, stood up and waved to Hou Xiaoge.

"Uncle, Erda; Uncle, why are you here too?" Hou Xiaoge looked at the four people waiting and walked up quickly to greet them.

"Your aunt is worried, so let me come with you." Uncle Zhou Xinmin said with a smile.

The uncle took the backpack from Hou Xiaoge's back and felt it was heavy. A smile appeared on his face, but he didn't say a word as he was not one to show off his wealth.

"Look, there's chaos at the city gate, and there's even shooting. Let's go and take a look."

At this time, the refugees nearby saw the mess at the city gate and heard gunshots. They stretched their necks to look at the city gate, and some even wanted to go forward to take a look.

"Hurry, let's put the backpack on our back and go back quickly." Looking at the somewhat chaotic crowd, uncle Hou Yangmin hurriedly urged them to go back with the backpack on his back.

"go!"

Hou Xiaoge also guessed that the city was closed because of his incident, so he ran away as soon as he could.

As we walked along, we heard more and more gunfire behind us, and even overwhelming shouts.

Along the way, many refugees ran from the city gate to the refugee camp, shouting that the government was incompetent and only knew how to exploit and shoot the people, and shouted that they had to pay the taxes.

Hou Xiaoge had vaguely heard of Jiaonong on TV in his previous life, but he had forgotten what it was about in detail, so he quickly asked his uncle beside him.

"The farmers are forcing the government to revolt. They don't want to wait for death, so they started fighting against the government." Hou Yangmin said concisely with a gloomy face.

"what!"

Hou Xiaoge really didn't expect that a simple action of his would cause such a big disturbance, and he was extremely panicked for a moment.

"Uncle, the government has machine guns and cannons. The farmers will be in trouble!" Hou Xiaoge shuddered as he looked at the machine gun on the sandbags not far from the roadside.

"It's not that simple to pay the farmers. The government is still the people's government after all. They don't dare to use machine guns to attack the people.

Besides, the farmers are not really rebelling, but putting pressure on the government." Hou Yangmin said, looking at the stationary soldiers at the checkpoint standing still in the distance.

More and more people were running towards the city gate, hoping to fish in troubled waters, and at the same time, more and more people were running in the opposite direction of the city gate to avoid the disaster.

On the way back, the uncles took out the axes, sickles and other tools they had prepared in advance and surrounded Hou Xiaoge and his cousin.

"Yangmin, what happened in the city?" After returning to the camp, people nearby who were familiar with my uncle started asking.

“I heard that the black dogs in the city robbed the food bought by the people and finally opened fire.

This time everything was in chaos, and a direct conflict occurred." Hou Yangmin said with lingering fear.

"Oh my god, there hasn't been any agricultural tax payment in years, but now it's become a big deal.

Oh no, there are seven or eight people from our village who went into the city today and haven't come back yet. I have to tell Uncle Qi and the others." The middle-aged man who was asking about this changed his expression and ran back to the camp.

After a while, seventeen or eighteen people rushed out of the camp, carrying an old man, holding javelins and shotguns in their hands, and rushed towards the city gate.

Hou Xiaoge didn't know most of these people, he just knew they were all members of the Hou family. But he knew the old man being carried, he was the Seventh Master who touched his head yesterday, one of the only two elders in the clan.

"Uncle, what are they doing?" Hou Xiaoge looked confused. Why were they going forward to deal with such a thing?

“Once the agricultural transfer occurs, most of the villages that cannot survive will respond, otherwise they will be isolated and looked down upon by other villages afterwards.

And just now I heard from your thirteenth uncle that some people from the clan have also gone to the city, so the farmers have to send more people to support them, and let the elders of the clan go over to take charge." Hou Yangmin said with some worry.

Hou Xiaoge lived in Qin Province in his previous life. Although three or four thousand people in the village had the surname Hou and were from the same ancestor, the clan had long since disappeared and became a group of scattered people.

Hearing that there was a clan that was so tough, the passion inherited in his blood suddenly ignited, and he wanted to take out the muskets he had seized a few days ago and rush forward together.

It was not until this moment that Hou Xiaoge understood the power of the clan, and also understood what his uncle had said a few days ago about how it was difficult to survive on your own.

When Xiaoge and his group returned to the camp, another elder in the tribe led a few middle-aged people to promote the cause in the camp and donate grain to the tribesmen who were farming.

Seeing the villagers who usually suffered from hunger and starvation donating grain, wild vegetables, bran and other "food" to the basket behind the elder one by one, Hou Xiaoge finally felt what a sense of belonging was.

"Yangmin, you didn't go to pay the taxes! I just saw that your brothers were not at your place, and I thought you were stuck in the city.

How is the situation in the city? Has the county militia taken action? "Another elder of the clan, Wuye, saw Hou Xiaoge and his group and came over to ask.

"Fifth Uncle, we got out just before the chaos in the city, so I don't know exactly what's going on now.

But on the way back just now, I saw that the militia at the checkpoint was quiet, so they probably didn’t go out.” Hou Yangmin said.

"It's a good thing the militia didn't take action, otherwise there would be heavy casualties." The old man said with a sigh of relief.

"Fifth Master, after all, the militia are all selected from the village. They might have relatives among the farmers. Even if they are heartless, they would never shoot at their own people!" The eldest cousin Huanying said with a puzzled look on his face.

"Kid, you don't understand. Once these people joined the militia, most of them no longer recognized themselves as their own people. I heard from the refugees who came from the occupied areas that these militiamen were more brutal than the Japs when they started fighting." The old man looked at his young cousin kindly and said.
