"Where are the others?"
Old Zhang looked at Jiang Cha with shining eyes, wishing he could fly over and hug everything in his arms immediately.
"The items are safe, but you'll need to find a few more people to move them. You've seen where these items came from, so make sure the people you find are trustworthy.
It's not easy for our people to transport the goods back, so we must not let the Japanese find us. They are running out of supplies for a while, so the only ones left have been brought back."
Jiang Cha explained the origin of the things and hinted that the things he brought back were helpful.
You can't say that she brought it back with a half-grown child. Who would believe it if you told others?
"That's what I was thinking! How did you, a little girl, get those things back? You should have had help. Where are they? Why didn't they come with you?"
"They can't show up, but they'll still think of you if they have anything good in the future. I came here because someone asked me to. Some of them have received your help before.
Otherwise, why would I come all the way here? These things can be given to anyone else. Why would I need to drive a car all the way from the city?"
He casually tugged at the fur on his sleeve, pretending not to care.
Lao Zhang lay beside the loudmouth and whispered a few words to him, then saw the loudmouth's eyes widening.
Jiang Cha was afraid that his eyes would pop out of his head, and he could guess what he was saying without even thinking.
Just now, she and Lao Zhang had been playing guessing games for a long time, which made Dasheng very curious. She even came up with the ridiculous idea that there was a dowry in the bundle.
Knowing what treasures were inside, Loud-voiced wanted to touch the bag several times, but was afraid that he would break it if he was too clumsy.
The rather rough old man looked so cute that she almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Since you've come all this way, I'll have the squad leader cook you something. After you finish eating, you can rest in the room next door. We'll go out and find someone, and then we'll move the things after dark.
It's unsafe during the day because there are too many people and too many noises. It's a good opportunity for you to have a good rest. I'll have someone send your meal to the room next door. It's usually unoccupied and is always kept very clean."
Jiang Cha followed the loud voice into the house next to the office. The houses here were built with adobe and large stones from the mountain.
The roof is covered with thick yellow mud. I guess when the house was built, yellow mud was used instead of tiles to cover the roof tightly.
This is a plain area, where wheat, sorghum, corn and peanuts are grown.
That kind of straw house is not common, after all, this is not a rice-growing area.
It was a little dark when I entered the house. After a while, I saw that it was very clean, except for some loose dust on the surface, which was unavoidable because the house was made of adobe and the ground was slightly compacted soil.
Even the kang (fireplace bed) was made of adobe, and the spring winds in the north were particularly strong. No matter how she cleaned it, it wouldn't be like a brick house. She felt the kang with her hand, then carefully sat on its edge.
"Someone went in? How was it? What did you see?"
"She must be from a relatively wealthy family, otherwise why would she look at our house so closely? Judging from her expression, she must have never seen it before and is quite curious.
But her temper was acceptable. She touched the kang and sat on its edge without saying anything. I just didn't know if the thing she brought was real or a trap.
"Tonight, you take a team with you to move the things with her. I'll follow you with my men to guard against any traps. Remember to bring your weapons with you. If the things weren't so important that they couldn't be lost, I would have kept an eye on her for a few days."
"I don't know who showed her the way. We're already in the valley, and a girl was able to sneak through. This shows there's a loophole in our sentry post arrangement.
Fortunately, I listened to Lao Wang and built the factory in the innermost part. Even if she could find her way here, she would never be able to find the factory without someone to lead her.
I'll give the order later and have them send someone to keep an eye on that room. If she comes here sincerely to deliver something, I'll treat her like an aunt and serve her well. If she's setting a trap for us, I'll let her know how powerful Grandpa is!
Jiang Cha was in a daze in the room, and counted the number of rafters used on the roof.
She knew that someone outside was watching her and would definitely keep a close eye on her.
This is a normal operation. If it were her, she might be more strict. She might lock the person up first and then release him after the things are brought back.
How does the old saying go?
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief!
Especially in a confidential unit like theirs, they let a girl touch them and then asked for a big gift.
You have to think about it no matter who it is. This is not the era of information explosion where a person's information can be found immediately.
She said she came from Shanghai. How could we find her information immediately when we were thousands of kilometers away?
In order to make them believe me, I had to sit in the house honestly and didn't dare to go out even when I was bored.
Soon someone brought her two multi-grain steamed buns and a plate of scrambled eggs.
You don’t have to guess to know that it was made specially for her. The plate of scrambled eggs was greasy, and it was obvious that it was a special meal for her.
Use clean chopsticks to scoop out some scrambled eggs into the bowl, then break off half a multi-grain steamed bun and eat it slowly.
The rest is left untouched. Someone will take it and put it in the big pot to add flavor.
Knowing that they were not well-off, I didn't say anything about sitting on the kang, eating dry buns and drinking boiled water.
"Why didn't you finish eating? There's so much left?"
The young soldier who delivered the meal was heartbroken when he saw that most of the plate was left with ginger tea and eggs.
These are the eggs that their old squad leader has been saving for several days. No one is willing to eat them, so they are kept for making meals for patients.
