Li Mancang and Li Erniu looked at each other and found that Xu Jianguo did not seem to be joking, so they prepared to take him back to the house.
At this moment, Funiu, who was held in Ma Hongmei's arms, shouted loudly: "Haha, haha!" While shouting, she struggled to get off the ground.
Ma Hongmei had no choice but to put the little girl down, and saw Funiu running towards Xu Jianguo with her short legs and stretched out her little hands.
Xu Jianguo smiled, took a few quick steps, and hugged Funiu in his arms.
Looking at the tears that had not yet dried on Funiu's face, he asked, "Funiu, are you crying?"
"Well, I thought you were lost, and then I started crying."
"Haha, my Funiu knows she's worried about me, so I'll give you two candies as a reward, one for you and one for Shitou. I have something to tell the village chief, and I'll take you home after I'm done, okay?"
"Okay, haha." After saying that, Funiu took the candy and went to find stones to play with.
"I didn't expect that this child would be so attached to you in such a short time!" Li Mancang said, looking at Funiu's back.
"Well, I didn't expect that. Uncle, hurry up!" Xu Jianguo said.
Li Mancang nodded and took Xu Jianguo and Li Erniu back to the house.
"Jianguo, go ahead and speak!"
Xu Jianguo told the two what happened on the mountain, and they were shocked. You know, in that era, anything related to spies was no small matter, not to mention arms and radio stations.
"Erniu, go out and tell Widow Wang and those three kids not to tell anyone about this!" Li Mancang was a soldier by birth, he was very vigilant and quickly discovered the problem.
"Uncle Mancang, don't worry. I have already told those three when I came back. They probably won't say anything nonsense." Xu Jianguo said.
"No, we can't be careless. Erniu, go and tell them again."
"Okay, I'll go now!" Li Erniu agreed and walked out.
"Jianguo, do you know kung fu?" Li Mancang asked.
"Yes, my father taught me Kung Fu since I was a child, but he was afraid that I would hurt others, so he didn't allow me to practice Kung Fu casually." Xu Jianguo knew that he couldn't hide it, so he thought of a countermeasure on the way back.
However, Xu Jianguo only mentioned that he knew kung fu, and did not mention that he knew foreign languages.
In this era, being too high-profile is not a good thing, especially when he is not able to protect himself.
Therefore, slow development is still Xu Jianguo's best choice at the moment.
Li Mancang nodded without saying anything. At this time, Li Erniu came back from outside and said to Li Mancang, "Captain, I have already told them."
"Okay, Erniu, you quietly gather the militiamen at the brigade headquarters, distribute guns and bullets, and wait for orders. Don't tell them what it is about, and keep it confidential." Village chief Li Mancang said to Li Erniu.
"I understand, village chief. I'll go now." After receiving the order, Li Erniu straightened his body, walked away quickly, and went out to gather the militia.
Seeing Li Erniu leave, Li Mancang continued, "Jianguo, how much surplus food do you have at home? Can you lend some to the team? The autumn harvest is still a few days away, and the team has run out of food. I can't let our militia fight the Japanese on an empty stomach. Besides the three children of Widow Wang, only a few of us know about what happened today. If you have any surplus food at home, please lend it to the team, and I will also give some. You know the situation of your uncle Erniu's family. He is the only strong laborer in the family, and we can't provide any extra food."
[Ding, trigger the system to select a task.]
[Option 1: Borrow food and reward the host with ancient medical skills]
[Option 2: No food is borrowed, but the host is rewarded with the possession of the God of Misfortune for 24 hours]
Xu Jianguo: "I...\u0026*%￥*\u0026%! System, why not just tell me I need to borrow food? Why bother with all this nonsense? Besides, am I really that ignorant?"
[Ding, why are you talking so much? Choose now! The God of Misfortune has arrived!]
"I choose one, @_@!"
[Ding, selection completed, bonus skills issued, do you want to learn now?]
"Don't study!" Xu Jianguo said unhappily.
[Ding, host, please pay attention to your attitude! The reward has been stored, the host can learn at any time.]
Xu Jianguo rolled his eyes at the system.
"Jianguo, Jianguo?" Li Mancang saw that Xu Jianguo didn't say anything, so he shouted.
"Ah, Uncle Mancang, I was just thinking about how much food I have left at home. I plan to leave some food for Funniu. When I have nothing to do, I will go up the mountain to pick some mountain products and dig some wild vegetables. It should be enough for the two of us to eat. By this calculation, I should be able to take out 20 kilograms of food. Do you think it is enough? Besides, let's not talk about borrowing or not. If it weren't for the villagers, I don't know if I could survive until now. If okay, I will go back to get the food and send it to you later." Xu Jianguo said.
"Okay, uncle knows your family's situation. I think these 20 kilograms of grain is your limit. You're a good kid, but let's make a deal. This grain is considered to be a loan from your uncle Mancang on behalf of the team. I will definitely give you an explanation when I get back. When you get the grain, give it directly to your aunt. I'll go find your grandfather Dashan later and ask him to drive the ox cart to take me to the commune."
"Okay, Uncle Mancang, I'll go back and get some food now!" Xu Jianguo walked out of the house, said something to Funiu, and then walked towards home.
As soon as he walked out of the hospital, Widow Wang was waiting outside with her three children. After seeing Xu Jianguo, she knelt down on the ground without saying a word.
Xu Jianguo was startled and quickly pulled several people up.
Widow Wang thanked Xu Jianguo repeatedly, and so did her three children. Xu Jianguo finally persuaded them to go back home, and then he ran towards his own home.
After returning home, Xu Jianguo went straight to the main hall and first looked at his own grain jar, and found that there was only some cornmeal left in it.
He took out 5 kilograms of white flour and 20 kilograms of cornmeal from the storage space and put them into a cloth bag.
Xu Jianguo did not dare to take all the white flour, firstly because he was afraid of not being able to explain it clearly, and secondly because
Then he took out a large bowl of well water and drank it, and immediately felt refreshed.
He carried the food out of the house and headed towards the village chief's house.
After Li Mancang left home, he went directly to Li Dashan's house and told him what had just happened.
Li Dashan also went to the battlefield when he was young and crawled out from a pile of dead bodies. Even though he is over 60 years old this year, when he heard that the Japanese devils were found in the mountains, he still burst out with a fierce murderous intent.
Without much delay, the two of them got on the ox cart and headed towards the commune.
More than half an hour later, the ox cart stopped outside the courtyard of Shengli Commune. Li Mancang jumped off the cart and ran into the courtyard. Li Dashan turned the ox cart around and waited for Li Mancang to come back.
It was already past 9 o'clock in the evening and the entire commune was quiet.
Li Mancang ran into the courtyard and just took a few steps when he heard a cold voice from the darkness: "Stop, who?!"
