An anti-Japanese film, there are two cotton players, one is called the youngest, and the other is a teacher. There are poems in it: "There is no way out after mountains and rivers," "Flying stream"

"Smart Escape"

The injured Eighth Route Army traffic officer put an oilcloth bag containing the Japanese strategic offensive map into the hands of his younger brother Erzhu, and told him to deliver it to In the hands of the comrade at the train station. However, in desperation, Erzhu mistakenly remembered the contact code "No way out despite mountains and rivers" instead of "Looking for eight routes through beautiful mountains and clear waters". Qin Gui was sent to intercept the Japanese's strategic offensive map. He came to the train station, muttering the code, but he still found nothing after wandering around for a long time. Erzhu was injured on his right shoulder. He handed the oilcloth bag to the storyteller in the teahouse and asked him to remember the code and go to the train station to hand it over to the liaison officer of the Eighth Route Army. Shunzi, a farmer who was eager to resist Japan, and his uncle and nephew, the youngest, were making a living by playing cotton for others while looking for the Eighth Route Army. At the train station, several people were chasing each other and were chased by Japanese Army Major Sasaki. They fled into a farmyard and hid in a cellar. Unexpectedly, the Japanese came after them and set up camp in the compound, and they were trapped below. Qin Gui and the others managed to steal three sets of Japanese military uniforms, put them on and were about to sneak away when they encountered the entire Japanese army gathering. Several people were discovered by the Japanese army. Fortunately, the storyteller imitated the air raid and the three took advantage of the chaos to escape from the compound. The next day, Qin Gui took the opportunity to use force to snatch the oilcloth bag from Shunzi's hands, and took them to a large temple, hoping to temporarily imprison him so that he could escape. Unexpectedly, Sasaki's men had already ambushed the temple, and only Shunzi escaped alone. Sasaki, who used to be a music teacher, liked to collect Chinese musical instruments. He mistakenly thought that the youngest's cotton bow was a kind of musical instrument. [1]

In order to survive, the youngest and the storyteller made up a temporary song called "Song of Playing Cotton" which was very popular among the Japanese. At this time, Qin Gui was surprised to find his wife Aying appearing in front of him, and secretly gave Aying the oilcloth bag. The Japs sang to attract the "flower girl", but found a group of angry farmers with sticks rushing towards them. The Japanese army panicked. Qin Gui picked up the oilcloth bag that fell on the ground; just as he was about to run away, Sasaki caught him, and the Japs We returned to the county town together. Later, Sasaki discovered his true identity and sent the oilcloth bag to the commander. Qin Gui took advantage of Sasaki's unpreparedness and fled, meeting the storyteller, the youngest, and Shunzi again. Qin Gui said frustratedly that the Japanese had searched the oilcloth bag, but Aying took out a small cloth bag from her arms - this was the real strategic attack map. Just when they were happy, Erzhu and the Eighth Route Army eldest brother also found them. The secret codes matched, and the Japanese army's strategic offensive map was finally handed over to the Eighth Route Army. But what the Japanese had in their hands was a songbook.
