Chapter 378 Escort

"Come on, come on, give me the saw"

"Over there, deliver the boards and bring the hammer and nails."

The work of building a house on the mountain It's going on in an orderly manner, everyone is working hard, some are repairing the roof of the house, some are sawing wood, in short, no one is idle.

The work did not stop until six o'clock in the afternoon. Li Jin also asked people to prepare the food in advance. There were more than 300 people and five or six large pots.

In the open space of the village, people lined up in several teams and took turns to get food. The villagers’ faces were filled with smiles, which showed that they were full of hope for life.

"Company Commander, according to the current progress, it can be done in four or five days at most." Liu Changshun came to Li Jin with a big bowl of rice and said.

The villagers are very motivated, and no one is lazy when it comes to work, and they all work hard.

"Well, once this is done and the villagers can move here, it will be over." Li Jin nodded and said, settling down the people in several villages, he can do it with confidence and boldness. .

After everyone finished eating and rested for a while, they continued working until the sun completely set. Li Jin also let them find a room to live in the village.

At night, there are stars, the full moon hangs high, and the bright moonlight shines on the mountains, as if it is covered with a silver-white tulle.

"Old Mo, if we settle down here, I feel that life will get better and better in the future."

"Yes, before the Eighth Route Army came, I didn't I thought we could live a stable life in the future. "

"So, it would be great if the Japanese were driven out and the Eighth Route Army came to control China."

" "Definitely."

Some villagers stayed up at night and talked quietly. They all felt that the days were getting more and more promising.

Before the Eighth Route Army came, several villages were still having a hard time. But after the Eighth Route Army came,

not only helped them solve the problem of farmland and increased production, but also Potatoes and sweet potatoes with extremely high yields were given to each of their households as seeds.

As long as these seeds are properly cultivated, no one will be hungry in the future.

That night, the villagers slept peacefully. Some villagers even smiled while sleeping, as if they had had a sweet dream.

Whether it is in troubled times or in prosperous times, for the people, as long as they have enough to eat, are not hungry, and have wives and children who are warm on the bed, that is the happiest thing.

Early the next morning, after a simple breakfast, the work of building the house was still in full swing. They all wanted to finish the work early and then go back to pick up their families.

Time passed quickly, and it was four days in the blink of an eye. At around 1 p.m., as the last house was built, everyone’s work finally stopped.

"Okay, now that the work is done, let's set off and go back to move." At the foot of the mountain, Li Jin waved his hand.

The villagers all cheered and followed Li Jin back.

On the way back, Li Jin was also thinking that the three villages lived on the three mountains of Qinshan. Isn’t this equivalent to merging the three villages

At three o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Li Jin and the others returned to the military camp, and the villagers in several villages also returned to their villages.

Li Jin also asked the villagers to call their village chief over for a meeting.

"How is the situation?" Xu Qingfeng stepped forward and asked.

"It's all done. The Japs haven't increased their troops these days, right?" Li Jin nodded and asked immediately.

"No, I had the two soldiers I was watching in Changyuan County come back yesterday." Xu Qingfeng said.

A week has passed, and there is still no movement from the Japanese side. It is obvious that they do not plan to enter the mountain anymore.

"Well, let's go, follow me to the conference room and wait for someone." Li Jin nodded and walked towards the conference room, Xu Qingfeng followed him.

Not long after the two waited in the conference room, the three village chiefs arrived.

"Captain Li, I heard that the houses over at Qinshan have been built, right?" Village Chief Song said as soon as he came in, with a smile on his face.

"Yes, I called you here because I want you to notify the villagers and ask them to pack their things. We will help you move tomorrow." Li Jin said.

This time we are moving, so we have to ask the villagers to bring all their belongings, especially wheat seeds, potatoes and sweet potatoes, as well as pots and pans, whatever they can bring.

"Okay, we understand, but if we bring everything with us, it will probably take a few days to move it all." Village Chief He said.

Each household has a lot of potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. to move. Even if a special operations company helps, it will probably take several days.

"It's okay. You ask the villagers to put all those things into bags and write their names, and leave the rest to us." Li Jin said.

"Okay, I'll trouble you then." Village Chief He said.

"It's okay, it's all as it should be. Also, your three villages live together this time, so you must manage the people in your own village well.

Yes Whatever the matter, let’s discuss it. Don’t start fighting. There is also the matter of wasteland allocation. It must be fair and just.

If there are problems that cannot be solved, send someone to me and I will give you a solution. You handle it," Li Jin said.

Three villages live together, and there may be friction between each other. This is inevitable. Therefore, the three old village chiefs must handle these matters well and avoid them as much as possible. Bloodshed.

"Don't worry, Captain Li, we will take good care of them." Village Chief Song said, they can be said to be consistent in the village. If they open their mouths, there will be few dissenters in the village.

After all, it’s veryMany villagers grew up watching them.

"I know you will take good care of your own people. The key is that the three of you get along in harmony. If you have anything to do, discuss it more and don't get tense." Li Jin said, what he was afraid of was not that the villagers would not accept it. Guan, what I'm afraid of is that the three old village chiefs are not in harmony.

If these three people don't get along, the villagers of the three villages will start fighting in a minute.

"It's not that bad. The three of us are all very old. We might have gotten sick when we were younger in the past, but now we are half buried in the soil. We are no longer what we were before." Village Chief He said .

When they were young, the three villages had fought with each other, but no one was killed. They just didn't like each other.

When a person is bullied, it is quite scary for a village to help him.

If Li Jin and the others had not come to recruit troops and resolved the conflict, I am afraid that the villagers of the three villages would have always disliked each other.

But Li Jin did a good job recruiting young people from three villages and made them comrades-in-arms. The previous conflicts between the older generation were also resolved among the younger generation.

Actually, there is no particularly big hatred between the three villages. The main reason is that no one was killed in the previous fights, otherwise this matter would not be resolved so easily.

"Then I'm relieved. Okay, you go and notify the villagers first." Li Jin said.

The three village chiefs then left.

"Old Xu, please tell the villagers who want to go to their relatives to stay at home tomorrow, and I will arrange for someone to escort them to their relatives.

By the way, Tell them that if their relatives don't want to see them, they can come back at any time," Li Jin said.

Honestly, he didn't think the relatives the villagers said would treat them well. If those relatives didn't have families, it would be okay, but if they had families, they would most likely not be treated well.

It’s fine to come and stay for a few days, but who can bear to stay there all the time?

"Yes, okay." Xu Qingfeng nodded and was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Jin.

"Wait a minute, Lao Xu, I will discuss something with you." Li Jin said.

As soon as he heard this, Xu Qingfeng became wary.

"What do you want to do, kid?" Xu Qingfeng said.

"That's it. I plan to escort the villagers with Xiao Liu to Xiaotang Village to seek refuge with their relatives. Then we will pay a visit to Xiao Liu's house. This boy hasn't been home for a long time.

Just take this opportunity to let him go back and see his parents." Li Jin said.

"Okay, but be careful and don't cause trouble. If you don't come back for more than three days, I will take someone to look for you." Xu Qingfeng nodded in agreement, but he also gave a time limit.

After this deadline, he planned to take people to find Li Jin.

"No problem, I will definitely come back early." Li Jin promised.

"Tell him not to tell anyone about Xiao Liu's return home, otherwise other soldiers may want to go home too." Xu Qingsaid the wind.

Some of the soldiers brought over from the New Regiment did not want to go home. Liu Changshun was barely carrying out his mission, and it happened to be not too far from home. Otherwise, Xu Qingfeng would not have agreed.

"Don't worry, I will warn him." Li Jin said.

Xu Qingfeng then left.

Li Jin took out a list and looked carefully at the villagers who were going to Xiaotang Village. They were He Erbao's family of five from Hejia Village. They planned to join his second master.

After thinking about it, Li Jin went to the dormitory and found Tang Zizheng.

"Old Tang, you arrange four rows of people to be divided into twelve groups to help escort the villagers to go to their relatives. This is the list with the address on it." Li Jin handed the list to Tang Zi just.

Each group of five escorts is enough.

"It is guaranteed to complete the task," Tang Zizheng said seriously after taking a look at the list.

"By the way, I will personally lead the Xiaotang Village group. You can just divide the team into eleven groups." Li Jin said. He planned to take Liu Changshun and three soldiers from the reconnaissance squad. Let's go together.

After all, it is an enemy-occupied area. Bringing soldiers from the reconnaissance squad can protect the villagers if anything happens.

"Ah, company commander, do you want to escort him personally?" Tang Zizheng was stunned.

"Yes." Li Jin nodded.

"Just leave this little matter to me. There is no need for you to go there in person." Tang Zizheng said, it was just escorting a few people, and there was no need for Li Jin to go personally.

"It's okay, I'll just go for this, and you'll be responsible for escorting the others." Li Jin said.

"Understood" Tang Zizheng nodded.

Then Li Jin went to the dormitory of the reconnaissance squad, and he selected three soldiers who were in the forefront in terms of physical fitness.

As for Lu Changgong, it's not that Li Jin doesn't want to take him with him. The main reason is that Lu Changgong is so conspicuous that he can attract the attention of almost everyone passing by.

This is not a real battle, but an escort, so bringing Lu Changgong is a bit arrogant.

At eight o'clock the next morning, the villagers in the three villages were ready and they had packed up.

Xu Qingfeng was leading the soldiers of the special operations company to help move things.

Subsequently, nearly 2,000 villagers from three villages began to take action. They carried large and small bags of things. Those who didn't know it thought they were fleeing the famine.

Li Jin also asked Tang Zizheng to escort the remaining villagers to seek refuge with relatives.

Watching Tang Zizheng and the others leaving, Li Jincai took Liu Changshun and the others to Hejiacun.

In fact, He Erbao was the only one in Hejiacun who was going to join his relatives.

Not long after, Li Jin led people to He Erbao's house. In the yard, an old man was sitting here. This was He Erbao's father, He Ming.

He placed three bulging sacks containing wheat seeds, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

"Company Commander Li, youComing. "After He Ming saw Li Jin, he quickly greeted him.

"Master He Wu, have you packed everything up?" Li Jin asked.

"Everything is packed up and I'm waiting for you. Come on, Erbao, come out quickly, Captain Li is here to see us off. "He Ming shouted into the house.

Soon, a middle-aged man and middle-aged woman walked out of the house, and behind them were two little girls about three or four years old.

"It's Captain Li." The two little girls hurriedly ran to Li Jin and hugged Li Jin's thighs. They looked very sticky.

"It's red beans and mung beans. "Li Jin squatted down with a smile, and then hugged the two little girls.

"Captain Li, when can I become an Eighth Route Army soldier? "Xiao Hongdou said in a milky voice.

"Just wait until you grow up. How about I come to recruit you personally?" Li Jin said with a smile.

" Great, I can be a member of the Eighth Route Army in the future," Xiao Hongdou shouted happily.

"I want to be one too, Captain Li, you can't just recruit your sister," Xiao Mungdou immediately became anxious and shouted. < /p>

“Okay, okay, I’ll do it all, I’ll do it all. "Li Jin was so amused by the two that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Hey," Little Mung Bean smiled sweetly.

Others couldn't help but smile when they saw this scene.

“You two, come down quickly and don’t disturb Company Commander Li. He Erbao said.

"It's okay. It's not heavy anyway. I can just hold it." "Li Jin said with a smile, turned around and asked Liu Changshun and the others to help move things, and then the group set off.

Along the way, Little Red Bean and Little Mung Bean asked Li Jin some very childish questions, and Li Jin didn't mind them. They were annoyed, but they responded patiently to their questions.

When Liu Changshun and the three soldiers saw this, they were also thinking that the company commander seemed to like children. .

Isn’t it because they are fighting the Japanese so hard that the next generation can live a better life? If their current generation cannot succeed, why should the next generation do so?

Afternoon. At about five o'clock, Li Jin and the others safely passed through the enemy-occupied area and sent He Erbao and the others to the mountains about two miles away from Xiaotang Village.

"He Wuye, I will send you here. , I asked them to move things to your house. "Li Jin put down the little red beans and little mung beans.

"Lianyuan Commander, I'm really troubling you. "He Ming said.

"Fifth Master, if you are angry in Xiaotang Village, go back. We will not be angry, do you understand? "Li Jin warned.

"No, my second brother is still a very good person. "He Ming said that the second brother wrote to him a year ago and asked him to come and live. Moreover, the second brother had no children and was very lonely living alone, so he wanted to come over and stay with him.

"Okay, then you can live a good life. If anything happens, you can come back to Wujia Village to find me. "Li Jin said. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
