The boy's voice, which was going through puberty, was not pleasant to hear, but they already knew he was angry.
Xu Hongchang frowned. He didn't know which sensitive nerve he had touched that made the child so out of control. But as Chinese soldiers, they couldn't let the three children stay in the dangerous Qinling Mountains like this.
Tang Yue felt that the conversation was not going well, and she did not force it, as she felt that continuing might backfire.
He grabbed Chang Yin's hand and turned around, saying as he walked back, "We're just three miles below you."
Then he pulled Chang Yin into the dense forest. Xu Hongchang was a little anxious when the two left. Was he just going to leave the three children here like that? He was very worried, but after hearing Xiao Yueyue's last words, he knew that it was indeed not appropriate to continue communicating now.
After everyone left, Yan Yan turned around from behind her older brother and said, "Big brother, those people are really gone. We're safe now."
The second brother patted his sister's head. "My sister is really too naive. But those people probably aren't bad people."
"Big brother, they..."
The older brother threw the stone in his hand on the ground and continued walking forward to find suitable stones to dig. "It doesn't matter who it is, it has nothing to do with us. Let's hurry up and find something to dig. Do we not want to eat meat tomorrow?"
"think!"
Xiaoyu answered loudly, then lowered her head and began searching.
The brothers found several long stone slabs, the kind with sharp spikes at one end. "Big brother, will this really work?"
"Hmm, let's go give it a try. The rabbits have all gone back to their burrows now. They'll come out tomorrow and jump right into our trap."
The temptation of being able to eat meat made the three brothers temporarily forget about Tang Yue and her group.
They walked back less than three miles and came to a wide-open gravel beach, which was more spacious than where they had planned to rest. However, for the sake of the children, they could not go too far.
Wang Ming and Sun Jinan each carried a wild goat back. There was plenty of prey along the riverbank. They hadn't gone far when they saw a herd of wild goats preparing to go to the river to drink water. The two of them quickly shot two of them back.
As a result, Fei Shuwen was the only one waiting for them. The three of them followed the marks and ended up meeting up with the main group there.
"Have you found them?"
Fei Shuwen saw them and quickly asked.
"Yes, there are three children. The oldest looks to be only eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest looks to be seven or eight."
"What? There are three children? Where are they?"
Xu Hongchang sighed, "Something must have happened. They're extremely wary and unwilling to communicate with us. Chen Erniu and Bu Mancang are keeping an eye on things over there."
Fei Shuwen sat down. “This is very unusual. How did those three children get here in such a dangerous place as the Qinling Mountains? These mountains are not safe.”
Xu Hongchang was also puzzled. "Hmm, let's go over and investigate discreetly later."
Chang Yin and Tang Yue remained silent. Tang Shengkai was also feeling very bad. Seeing those children reminded him of his own children, and he wondered how they were doing.
Meanwhile, the children he was worried about were at home discussing things with their mother.
"Mom, we want to join the army."
Lin Cuicui had just coaxed Xixi to sleep when the three older children came into the room. Lin Cuicui was in a good mood today; after worrying for so many days, good news had finally come her way.
As it was getting dark, Commander Kang's bodyguard came over to tell her that Yueyue had found her father and that they were both safe and sound. They were on their way to Kyoto and would return after delivering the items.
I was finally able to relax after being on edge for more than half a month.
"Huh? Enlist? Da Bei, how old are you? The army doesn't even want you."
Besides, your father and sister have both joined the army. If you both go, it will only be your grandfather and my daughter and me left at home.
Tang Bei is very serious this time.
"Mom, didn't Xu Zhenfei also enlist? And the army started mobilizing yesterday to go to the Vietnam battlefield, and quite a few people signed up today. There are suddenly a lot fewer people in the army, and I think the army should start recruiting soon."
“You’re not old enough.” Lin Cuicui didn’t want the children to join the army right now; that would be too tough.
"Also, you're still young. Yueyue said that once we've cleaned up those Japanese spies, she'll send all three of you to school. You should be learning more now; it's too early for you to join the army."
Tang Nan leaned close to his mother and said, "Mom, another family came to the compound today. I heard their child is also here to join the army. Maybe he'll be joining the army tomorrow."
"Mom, Xu Zhenfei is okay, that child is okay, and the three of us are okay too."
Lin Cuicui frowned; she really didn't want to agree.
Tang Dong looked at his mother earnestly, "Mom, I've already reached the first level of Qi Refining, and my older brothers will be close to it too. We're now capable of protecting ourselves. We want to learn more skills; we don't want to be protected by our younger sister all the time."
She's so young and already working so hard; it breaks our hearts. Mom, please let us go.
Xu Zhenfei spends half a day training in the army and the other half studying. We can do that too.
Lin Cuicui knew what the children were thinking, but she was still reluctant. "You're only training in the army for half a day every day now, it's no different from actually enlisting."
"have!"
"have!"
"have!"
The three brothers spoke in unison. Lin Cuicui's eyes widened.
Tang Nan leaned forward again, "Mom, if we enlist, just like this time, we'll have someone to accompany my sister on missions and protect her."
