The next day, at seven o'clock in the morning, Li Jin asked Xu Qingfeng to train soldiers, while he took Tang Fang to the old village chief. After all, he had to make arrangements for the girls he brought back.
"Can you talk to the village chief? Will he refuse us to stay in the village?" Tang Fang said as he walked.
"No, the old village chief is a very nice person, otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen this place as my base." Li Jin said.
The old village chief treated them basically as family members.
Tang Fang nodded, if that's the case, that's fine.
"When you get there, just say that you are fleeing from famine, and don't say that we rescued you from the bandit den." Li Jin said.
Although the old village chief would not care about this, if other villagers knew about it, they would probably gossip about it.
"Yes, I understand." Tang Fang nodded and said, "I will tell the sisters when I go back."
"That's fine." Li Jin said.
"Good morning, Platoon Leader Li, are you going to find the village chief?" At this time, a young man carrying a hoe came towards him.
"Yes, I have something to do with the village chief. Brother Chen, are you going to weed the fields?" Li Jin stopped and said.
"Well, the weather is nice today. Let's go to the fields to weed." Brother Chen nodded. He looked at Tang Fang next to him and asked, "Who is this?"
"Her name is Tang "Fang, they are fleeing the famine, and I am looking for the village chief to find them a place to live," Li Jin explained.
"Like this, alas, this world is not easy to live in, so I'll leave first." Brother Chen sighed deeply and left immediately.
Li Jin took Tang Fang and continued to walk towards the village chief's house. Along the way, many villagers greeted Li Jin, and Li Jin smiled back.
"You seem to be very popular in the village." Tang Fang said.
Although she had always heard that the Eighth Route Army treated the people well, she had only heard about it. Now that she saw it with her own eyes, she still found it a bit incredible.
Compared with the National Army, the Eighth Route Army seems to be really good.
In the past, the national army went to the village to recruit soldiers. They were forced to recruit soldiers. Anyone who dared to escape would be captured directly.
"It's okay. I am a soldier after all, and I should have good dealings with the people." Li Jin replied.
"This is what happened to the Eighth Route Army." Tang Fang said. She heard that ten years ago, some national army officers could not catch the Eighth Route Army, so they massacred the people in the village, and then said that it was the Eighth Route Army. Go claim the credit.
When Li Jin heard this, he didn't say much. Soon, the two of them arrived at Wu Village Chief's house.
Village Chief Wu’s kitchen chimney lit up with white smoke, apparently he was cooking porridge.
Li Jin was not polite, opened the door and walked in.
"Old village chief, I'm here." Li Jin shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, Village Chief Wu walked out of the kitchen on the right.
"Why are you here, kid?" Village Chief Wu had a smile on his face, his wrinkles squeezed into a flower.
"I don't miss you anymore, come and see you." Li Jin said with a smile.
"Come here." Village Chief Wu said angrily, "Let's get down to business."
He saw the girl following Li Jin.
"Hehe, as expected, nothing can be hidden from the village chief." Li Jin said with a smile.
"Isn't this also a runaway?" Village Chief Wu said tentatively.
"Well, there's more than one, a total of forty-six girls." Li Jin nodded.
"What forty-six?" Village Chief Wu said in shock. He thought there were only a few people at most, but he didn't expect there to be forty-six.
"Yes, there are a lot of people. I remember there are several vacant houses at the west end of the village, so I came to discuss with you. If no one lives there, why not let them live there." Li Jin said.
He knew the situation in the village well. There were vacant houses and unoccupied houses at the west end of the village.
"No one lives there, it's just that it's a little too far over there." Village Chief Wu said.
"It's okay. It's better to stay a little more private so you won't interact with too many people." Tang Fang said.
"If you don't mind, then live there. No one lives there anyway. If you need anything, you can come to me." Village Chief Wu said.
"Thank you, village chief." Tang Fang bowed to Village Chief Wu.
"Xiao Jin, I won't take you there, you can go on your own." Village Chief Wu said, the west end of the village is a bit far from his home, and he, an old man, doesn't want to run around.
"Hey, okay." Li Jin nodded, and then took Tang Fang to the west end of the village.
Soon, they walked out of the village.
"It's over there." Li Jin said, pointing to the house one or two hundred meters away.
These rooms are connected by six or seven houses, nearly 200 meters away from the village.
"It's pretty good." Tang Fang said happily. The residence here is simply great. It's not far or close to the village, and there are fewer people to say hello to.
"If you are satisfied, go back and ask them to move over. After you move over, I will have people deliver food to you." Li Jin said.
There is no way to ask those girls to move here quickly. After all, the military camp is full of grown men. It is not suitable for girls to live together and it is inconvenient.
"Okay." Tang Fang nodded.
Li Jin and Tang Fang returned to the military camp.
The girls were sitting under the eaves now. When they saw Li Jin and Tang Fang coming back, they stood up quickly.
"Platoon Leader Li, does the old village chief agree to our stay?" a girl said.
"I agree. It's at the west end of the village and the location is a bit out of the way. I hope you won't dislike it," Li Jin said.
"No, no, it's fine if you live there, so how could you dislike it?"
"If it weren't for Platoon Leader Li, we would still be in the bandits' den now. It’s okay to talk about being disgusted.”
“”
The girls all said.
"As long as you don't dislike it, you go over and clean up. I'll have someone send you bedding and food tonight." Li Jin said.
"Okay."
The girls were about to leave, but stopped again and bowed deeply to Li Jin.
If it weren’t for Li Jin, they would have died in the bandits’ den.
After these girls left, Li Jin went to the warehouse.
"Platoon Leader" Chen Erdan and Zhao Xiaowu, who were guarding the warehouse, quickly saluted Li Jin.
"Yes, open the door." Li Jin nodded and asked them to open the door.
"Yes" Zhao Xiaowu took out the key and opened the iron door.
After Li Jin walked into the warehouse, he came to the piles of grain. He grabbed two bags of grain and put them on his shoulders.
"You two can also help me." Li Jin said.
"Okay, platoon leader, how many bags can you move?"
"Let's move ten bags."
"Yes."
Soon, Li Jin and the others moved ten bags of grain to the open space of the warehouse.
Looking at the food on the ground, Li Jin thought for a while and said to Chen Erdan, "You two take ten yuan and go to the town to buy a few pieces of floral cloth and fifty quilts." ."
"Why are you buying cloth?" Chen Erdan asked confused.
"Why do you ask so much? Just buy it and drive the oxcart there." Li Jin said. The flower cloth is naturally for the girls, who have nothing to wear.
