Hu Tong 胡同 Episode 1

In Peiping in early 1949, it was snowing heavily with goose feathers, and the people were excited, all looking forward to the early entry of the PLA into the city. Because Fu Zuoyi led the troops to surrender, the Kuomintang was defeated across the board, and the PLA was about to enter Peiping in the near future. A select group of agents were lurking in Peiping to sabotage. Team leader Zheng called these people to hold a secret meeting in a teahouse, and assigned them tasks of assassination, demolition, and intelligence gathering. Finally, they swore together to serve the party-state.

Tian Zao and a group of orphans squatted outside the teahouse. The agents came out after the meeting. The orphans swarmed up to stop one of them and led him into the alley. Tian Zao and Dayong came later, put the sack on the spy's head, snatched the pistol from him, and then walked away. Tian Zao's parents died when she was a child. She was bold, careful, and outspoken. She took in many orphans and took them around to beg for food. She lived a very miserable life, but they were very happy.

Tian Zao took the children to steal the grain from the military vehicle and sold it to the grain store. Boss Qian knew that Tian Zao was not easy, so he gave them more money. Tian Zao bought cotton hats and windmills for the youngest Coal Core, and the other children also thought Yes, Tian Zao didn't have that much money, so he sold a basket of coal cores he had picked up to an uncle who opened a food stall by the roadside, and then distributed the money to the children to eat, and asked the stall owners to take care of them. them.

Tian Zao took the coal core to the stall of your uncle's house to eat popped belly. She felt that today's popped belly was too hard to bite, and Uncle Gui had nothing to do. Now that there was no good source of goods, he gave Tianzao an extra sesame cake. Tian Zao suddenly remembered that Tie Dan and Kong San were wrestling today, and she went to cheer on Tie Dan before she finished her meal. Tie Dan and Kong San are both famous wrestling masters in Peiping. The two refused to give in to each other. Tie Dan was finally defeated. He was the apprentice of Tian Zao's father. He knocked him to the ground with both punches and kicks, and sneered at Tie Dan. Tie Dan was not convinced. He chased after He Tian Zao's theory. Knocked on the ground and bleeds on the spot, she gritted her teeth in anger, ignoring Tie Dan's pleas and walked away.

Tian Zao rushed home angrily. Aunt Li and Tong Xiaoting next door greeted her and tried their best to match her with Tie Dan, but Tian Zao categorically refused. Tie Dan came to Tian Zao overnight to make amends, but Tian Zao didn’t buy it at all, and even forcibly drove him away. Tian Zao picked up the gun and went out. She wanted to settle accounts with Han Qingkui, the enemy who killed her father.

Uncle Gui was not at ease, so he quietly followed Tian Zao out. Tian Zao asked Dayong and the others to find out that Han Qingkui was listening to the play in the theater, so they wanted to go to him alone to settle the account. Dayong and the others wanted to help Tian Zao, but Tian Zao didn’t want to implicate them, so he took them away anyway. Tian Zao squatted on the side of the road, and when he saw Han Qingkui going home after watching the play, he shot and attacked him, but he was caught by accident.

Han Qingkui sent someone to take Tian Zao home and threatened to kill her. Team leader Zheng brought someone to find Han Qingkui overnight. Han Qingkui hurriedly asked Erbao to escort Tian Zao to the backyard and bury her alive. , he sent a box of guns and ammunition to Han Qingkui, and asked him to complete a sabotage mission. He promised to receive a reward after the completion of the matter. He also asked him to take people to Xishan to follow the Loyalty National Salvation Army to fight guerrillas. Han Qingkui naturally could not ask for it, because the PLA marched In the city, he will surely die.

Ergou led people to dig a big hole in the backyard and wanted to bury Tian Zao alive. Tie Dan, Dayong and others came to save him. They knocked Han Qingkui’s men to the ground effortlessly. He whispered a few words, and Han Qingkui had no choice but to let him go. The iron egg carried Tian Zao and left, promising never to let Han Qingkui live.

Aunt Li and Tong Xiaoting from the same hospital came to visit Tian Zao after hearing the news. Tie Dan decided to stay and take care of Tian Zao. Uncle Gui cooked a bowl of wontons for Tian Zao, and Tian Zao asked Coal He to go with your uncle's daughter Xiulan to rest. . Tian Zao felt very puzzled, and didn't understand why Han Qingkui let go of Tie Dan so easily, and Tie Dan didn't understand why.

The more Han Qingkui thought about it, the more angry he became. He didn't dare to touch the iron egg, but he didn't want to let Tian Zao go like this. The master reminded him not to be impulsive. The People's Liberation Army would enter the city tomorrow. Tian Zao woke up in the morning feeling refreshed, and she couldn't wait to take to the streets to welcome the PLA into the city.
