Chapter 597 I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice
Because Liao Yunlai's family has a small fishing boat with a carrying capacity of 2.5 tons, they usually catch some small fish, shrimps and shells in the near sea. Sometimes they also help transport some supplies, and they can barely make ends meet.
This boat was inherited by him from his parents and can be said to be the hope of the whole family. When they go out fishing, except for their elderly parents, the three brothers and sisters go out to sea together. In this way, they don't need to invite outsiders and all the catches belong to them.
This afternoon, Brother Liao was leading his younger siblings to repair fishing nets. They will go out to sea on the boat tomorrow. Otherwise, with their family's financial resources, they will not be able to hold out for long and the whole family will starve. This is also the real life of most poor people.
At this time, a middle-aged man in a long gown came over, looked at Brother Liao, and nodded to each other.
Brother Liao did not say anything and led the people directly into the fishing boat docked on the shore. Sister Liao and Brother Liao stood up tacitly and guarded the surroundings quietly. If there was any movement, the two would sound the alarm.
"Manager Shen, do you have a mission for us?"
It turns out that the three siblings of the Liao family are our secret transport personnel. They often help the guerrillas transport some supplies and personnel. They are also responsible for collecting some intelligence on the sea. After all, they often work on the sea, and perhaps something they see inadvertently is an important piece of intelligence.
Of course, they kept this matter a secret from Uncle Liao and Aunt Liao. The two elderly people are old and they didn't want to worry them.
Now is the time when the country is in crisis and the Japanese invaders are at our doorsteps. If the young people do not rise up to fight, do we really have to wait until the enemy's bayonet is against our parents' chests before we know how to resist? By that time, it will be too late.
But in reality, the three siblings were only the outermost members and had never fought the enemy head-on, which has always been a deep regret for them.
The most important thing they did was to transport a guerrilla force of about ten people at night to ambush a group of puppet troops at a nearby place.
I heard that four puppet soldiers were killed in that battle, and a Mauser pistol, three Hanyang rifles, six grenades and a large number of bullets were seized, as well as the Japanese soldiers' military caps, uniforms and belts.
When the guerrillas came back, they still took their boat. When Brother Liao saw the Mauser pistol, his eyes widened. This was the first time he saw such a powerful Mauser pistol at such a close distance.
Finally, after much persuasion and cajolery, he finally got his wish and touched the Mauser pistol a few times, satisfying his craving.
For a long time afterwards, Brother Liao wanted to join the guerrillas to fight the Japanese. There were three people in his family, and even if he died, there would still be two, and it would not affect the support of his elderly parents. However, he was always rejected, which made him depressed for a long time.
"Team Leader Liao, according to the notice from above, a large cargo ship will arrive from the sea tonight, and we need a ship to relay the cargo to the storage point on the shore. Your village has five ships that meet the requirements, and you need to dispatch all of them. At 7 o'clock in the evening, go to Jianjiaoao to gather."
Hearing this, Brother Liao asked with great interest: "Manager Shen, is this a big job? Why do we need so many people today? Usually, we only need two or three ships. If we have five ships, wouldn't that mean we can carry more than ten tons of supplies?"
Manager Shen smiled and responded, "It's not just your village. People from all over the surrounding villages will be mobilized. This is something that our superiors have specially provided to our troops. I heard that it was transported here on a large ship. For the sake of secrecy, it cannot enter the port and can only be transported back bit by bit on small boats."
"Okay, your village will be responsible for organizing it. I will also go to other villages to notify them."
After Manager Shen left, Brother Qian said seriously, "Little brother, go and inform the other families to hold a meeting at the old place and assign tasks."
"Oh, little sister, according to our previous agreement, my brother and I will go on a mission tonight, and you stay at home. If the two of us can't come back, you will have to take care of our parents."
Hearing this, Liao Xiaomei felt that the situation was a bit serious, so she said stubbornly: "Brother, I want to go, so leave me at home."
"I have been following you on the sea for so many years. Whether it's rowing, raising the sail, setting the net, or checking the weather, I am better than you. It is most appropriate for me to go with you."
After hearing this, Brother Liao was also moved. With such a large-scale operation tonight, if it was discovered by the Japanese patrol boats, sacrifices would be inevitable. However, he only had this one sister, and how could he let a girl take such a risk? Wouldn't these grown men be ashamed to death?
So he could only scold with a dark face: "Little sister, be obedient, the mission tonight is too important, just stay at home."
After saying this, he turned around and headed for the secret base outside the village to discuss the next course of action.
After everyone arrived, Brother Liao first introduced what Manager Shen had told him to do, and then he said seriously:
"This is the first time our team has participated in such an important mission. This is a great honor for our Dajiao Village. We must complete the task assigned to us by our superiors."
"Of course, tonight is different from the past. With so many people acting together, the risks we face are much greater than usual. Everyone should be mentally prepared for this."
"Those who have only children in the family must stay behind, and the rest of you should wait until around seven o'clock and prepare some dry food. We don't know when we'll be able to come back tonight, and we can't work without food."
"And Shuiwa, you stay tonight too."
"Brother, no, team leader, why? I'm not the only child, why can't I go?"
At this time, Liao Shuiwa looked at Brother Liao with grief and anger, as if he had been greatly insulted.
"But you, your only brother, my brother, died fighting the Japanese last month. Your mother almost cried herself blind. If something happens again, I don't know how to explain it to my uncle and aunt."
After these words were spoken, the entire scene was immersed in a sad atmosphere. Everyone bowed their heads and kept silent. Although they had prepared themselves mentally, they had never received any professional training after all. They were about to face the most brutal Japanese devils. It would be a lie to say that they were not afraid. However, they had no choice. If they did not stand up to fight, everyone would die.
At this time, the thatched door blocking the outside was roughly pushed open, and a large group of people followed in:
Seeing this, Brother Liao asked in a panic, "Dad, Third Uncle, Fifth Uncle, and Old Uncle Kui, why are you here?"
"No, how do you know this place?"
When Liao Laoshuan, the father of Brother Liao, heard his stupid son ask this question, he immediately rolled his eyes and scolded him angrily:
"I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. How could you youngsters' little tricks be hidden from us old guys? Every time you go out to help others transport things, we'll be watching from behind and help you clean up any traces left behind."
"Dad, I..."
