After handling Chen Shangwen's matter, Li Jin left the Wang family and the group set off back to Wujiacun. Of course, he did not forget Wang Xi's big horse.
Li Jin originally wanted to ride back, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. Instead, he asked the horse to drag a few bags of grain back.
At half past twelve in the middle of the night, the group finally returned to Wujiacun.
The camp is behind a small hill at the end of the village.
After returning to the camp, Li Jin asked Xu Qingfeng to move food, weapons and other things into the warehouse.
"Tell the soldiers that they will have a day off tomorrow and no more training." Outside the warehouse, Li Jin said to Xu Qingfeng.
"Okay." Xu Qingfeng nodded.
"After counting the harvest this time, I will take them to the old village chief and ask him to arrange a place for them to live." After Li Jin finished speaking, he took He Chun and the others to the village. The old village head's house.
The old village chief is called Wu Nian. He is over 70 years old this year and has a very senior position in the village. It is said that he was once a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty and a cultural person.
Arriving at the old village chief's house, Li Jin knocked on the courtyard door, then came to the fence and looked at the old village chief's house.
"Who is it?" An old voice came from the room.
Not long after, an old man opened the door, walked across the yard and came out to open the door.
"Old village chief." Li Jin greeted.
"Yeah, it's Xiao Jin." Village Chief Wu quickly opened the door.
"Come in and talk about what happened so late." Village Chief Wu glanced at the group of women following Li Jin and said.
Soon Li Jin and the others entered the yard.
"Old village chief, it's like this. They all fled the country and had no place to live, so I brought them back to the village. Can you see if you can find a place for them to live? "Li Jin said.
"Of course it's no problem. Lao He's house is still empty. Since Lao He's death, his descendants have gone to live in other places and haven't come back for many years. It's just the right place for them to live." Village Chief Wu He readily agreed.
After all, in this war-torn era, many people were fleeing disaster, so Village Chief Wu did not doubt He Chun and the others.
"Can the He family accommodate more than a dozen people?" Li Jin said.
After all, there are more than a dozen people here.
"Don't worry, Lao He's family has a lot of houses. I originally planned to live in them for you, but you said that living in the village would easily affect us, so you went to build a house at the end of the village." Village Chief Wu said.
When Li Jin and the others came, Village Chief Wu planned to let Li Jin and the others live in Lao He's house. However, Li Jin went to build his own house behind the hillside at the end of the village.
"So that's it." Li Jin nodded.
"Let's go, I'll take you there. Lao He's house is not far from me." Village Chief Wu said and took the lead to go out. Li Jin and the others followed behind Village Chief Wu.
"I'm sorry to bother you so late." Li Jin said to Village Chief Wu.
"No need to bother me, as long as you can fight ghostsZi, this is nothing. By the way, Xiao Jin, you must take action today. " Village Chief Wu said.
In the evening, he planned to send two sticks of bacon to Li Jin and the others, but he went to the place where Li Jin and the others were training and saw no one there.
This time, after bringing back so many women, Village Chief Wu vaguely guessed something.
“Well, yes, we killed some puppet soldiers who were misbehaving. "Li Jin nodded, not hiding anything.
"Okay, if you kill those beasts who deceived your master and destroyed your ancestors, you shouldn't be alive. If you do something bad and you have to be a traitor, kill them all. Light is good," Village Chief Wu said angrily.
What he hates most is this kind of guy who deceives his teachers and destroys his ancestors. If a good person is not a good person, he must be a dog, and his ancestors will be disgraced. .
Although some traitors are forced to do so, they should stick to the bottom line and not harm the people.
Li Jin nodded and did not dare to talk.
"By the way, village chief, I plan to set up a women's rescue association, which is to organize women in the village to help make military uniforms or shoes.
We will pay accordingly and will also take care of it. meal. "Li Jin said.
"What kind of reward are you going to give? If you fight the Japanese, you are risking your lives to exchange for our safety. We want your reward, aren't you beasts? "Village Chief Wu refused directly.
"This" Li Jingang wanted to say something, but was interrupted.
"Don't talk about remuneration, otherwise I will be angry, old man. "Village Chief Wu said with a serious look.
"Okay, but the food must be taken care of, and you can't let your work go to waste. No matter what you say, it won't do. "Li Jin said.
"Okay. "Village Chief Wu nodded.
Not long after, Village Chief Wu took them to He's house.
In the yard surrounded by fences, there are five or six houses side by side, and there are also The two houses are side by side, and it can be seen that the He family had a good life in the village.
Village Chief Wu opened the courtyard door and walked in.
"The one on the far left. , it’s Lao He’s house, so don’t stay there, lest you be afraid. "Village Chief Wu said, pointing to the house.
After all, this is the place where the dead lived before his death, and it is not suitable for other people to live in.
"Okay. "Li Jin nodded.
"The house here has been cleaned before, and there are quilts in the house. You can just live in it. "Village Chief Wu said to He Chun and the others.
"Thank you, old village chief. "He Chun and the others thanked them.
"You're welcome. "Village Chief Wu showed a kind smile. He also felt sorry for these people. They probably suffered a lot on the road, so he would help if he could.
"Xiao Jin, I'll leave first. "Village Chief Wu said and left.
"Village Chief, walk slower. " Li Jin warned, and Village Chief Wu waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to worry.
" Platoon Leader Li, does this Village Chief Wu live alone? Why didn't anyone else come out when we went there? "He Chun asked.
On the roadShe knew Li Jin's name from the soldiers' mouths when she got there.
"Yes, he originally had two sons and three grandsons. Two of the sons died of illness early, and the other two grandsons died in Songhu. The remaining grandson is still alive. Serve as a soldier in the national army," Li Jin said.
Village Chief Wu originally had two daughters-in-law in his family, but after his son died, both daughters-in-law also died of illness one after another. Village Chief Wu now lives alone.
"Ah, that's it." After hearing this, He Chun and the others felt that Village Chief Wu was very pitiful.
It doesn’t matter if his son died of illness, but his two grandsons died in battle. The remaining grandson is still serving as a soldier, and he may die in battle at some point.
"Village Chief Wu is an admirable person. He has done a lot for this country. After the death of his two grandsons, he sent his last grandson to serve as a soldier." Li Jin said later , the mood is also very heavy.
For the older generation, carrying on the family line is very important, but Village Chief Wu sent his last grandson to the battlefield, which was equivalent to making his family extinct.
The patriotism of the older generation is no less than that of the young.
He Chun and the others were silent after hearing Li Jin's words. They just wanted to see the old village chief more in the future to prevent him from being so lonely. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
