She thought that the person must have a secret mission and she didn't know him. If she spoke without thinking, it would easily disrupt his plan.
After all, there are "eyes" everywhere here. To exaggerate, you may even wish that the stones on the roadside could speak!
She has memorized the confidentiality regulations fluently and received confidentiality education!
She should pretend not to know things that she shouldn't know, and never be so smart as to implicate others!
"The village is so quiet, haven't all the villagers run away?"
Jiang Cha sat on the horse's back and pretended to be curious and asked the young man holding the reins in front of him.
It would be a problem if she wasn't surprised by the abandoned village!
A young female student is at a very innocent age.
I haven't seen so much ugly reality, so I won't immediately think of tragic things.
The first reaction is definitely that people have moved away and the war has left many people homeless and displaced.
There are outsiders who have taken refuge in many cities, so she must find moving very normal.
The boy holding the reins hesitated for a moment, his voice filled with some emotion, and after a while he turned around and answered her affirmatively;
"They must have moved. This place is too close to the border and unsafe. I guess the whole village moved together so they can look out for each other! That's right, that's definitely the case!"
He said it with a very certain tone, and I couldn't tell whether he was explaining to Jiang Cha or comforting himself.
As for the real reason, we can guess it roughly by looking at the bomb craters near the village.
Afterwards, no one mentioned going into the village to rest or bring some water to the villagers' homes.
He just unconsciously quickened his pace, causing the pony carrying the cargo to shake.
Jiang Cha, who had been sitting steadily just now, was so scared that he quickly lay down and hugged Xiao Ma's neck.
I was afraid that it would run and I would be thrown down and fall.
Until the leader in front stopped and asked everyone to take a break, eat some dry food, and feed some grass to the horses.
She got off the horse with shaking legs. If the guy holding the reins hadn't caught her in time, she would have probably sat on the ground.
Because there are weights on the horses' backs, although I don't know what they are, the basket in the horse she was riding should be filled with a gun.
Because she was afraid and lay on the horse's back, she was very close to the baskets hanging on both sides of the horse's back, so close that she could smell the smell of gun oil.
She was very familiar with this smell, many new products had this smell, so she thought she knew what was inside.
However, they never mentioned a word after they got off the horse. Even if someone guessed their true identity by chance, they could not reveal it casually.
When she was training in the Forbidden City, the first lesson they were taught was to keep secrets!
Even parents, lovers and children are not allowed to reveal a single word.
The same applies here. At most, she will help them appropriately in the dark.
Others can't help, and sometimes being helpful is not a good thing.
A mixed flour steamed bun and some pickled vegetable strips as thick as a finger, each bite tastes so delicious!
"Oh my! Sister, you are so kind to bring out so many steamed buns. I haven't eaten this in a while! Usually we just make porridge and mix it with some wild vegetables.
My face is almost turning green from eating so much! It’s just a bit of a waste. If I had used cornmeal or sorghum flour, I could have eaten several meals with it!
She bought the mixed flour steamed buns at the inn. Before leaving, she asked the owner to put all the steamed buns prepared on the stove on the buns and also asked for a few pickled cabbage dumplings.
These were settled together with the rent, so no one noticed how much she bought.
The mixed flour steamed buns are made of sorghum flour, corn flour and sweet potato flour. They are a bit sticky when hot, and the purple-gray color looks a bit like dark cuisine.
It tastes good after it cools down and is no longer sticky to your teeth. It is not big but still quite filling.
Compared to the bitter and headache-inducing wild vegetable porridge, it is definitely much better!
"There's still plenty here. I'm sorry to bother you all. I'll give you plenty of steamed buns until we get there!"
I spoke very politely, afraid that they would not accept it.
According to her speculation, these people were most likely sent from their hometown to scout the transportation channel.
She had written to the boss, informing him of the specific route of this road, hoping that the Hong Party could take over.
Only when it is in their hands can it truly play its role.
It also ensures that the soldiers who risked their lives to seize this lifeline did not sacrifice in vain!
Let them eat more and have more physical strength so that they can have the energy to fight the Japanese on the front line!
If I wasn't afraid that they wouldn't accept it, I would have let them eat more meat for three meals a day.
The people of the Hong Party never take a single needle or thread from the common people. If you treat them to delicious food, they will definitely find a way to make it up to you.
There's no need to burden them unnecessarily, so this is fine.
After dinner, Jiang Cha climbed onto the pony with great effort and continued to rock on it.
I guess my butt will be covered with calluses after this trip to the small town.
Except for one encounter with Japanese planes dropping bombs everywhere, the rest of the journey was quite smooth.
There were no fools coming to rob her, and the process went more smoothly than she had expected.
As soon as you step into the town, you can see soldiers wearing tattered Kuomintang uniforms everywhere, some of them even wrapped in gauze.
It just looks dirty, probably because it hasn't been replaced for a long time.
Located on the southwestern border, the temperature is high, humid and hot in summer.
The wounds they bandaged casually probably wouldn't heal well, after all, infection and inflammation are the most troublesome.
If you don't handle it properly, it may even rot and grow maggots.
