Seeing those things with foreign words on them, Jian Dan felt completely relieved. In the current tense situation, what good person would keep foreign things with them, especially alongside their own treasures? Are they afraid of not dying fast enough?
Knowing that they hadn't dug up someone's treasure, I was relieved, and my mood instantly soared.
So this morning, Jianxin noticed that her sister was very happy and was humming a song while cooking.
Cheng Chao was very busy. When he took the book back, Cheng Jin was shocked. He immediately asked someone to study it. The vegetable greenhouse was not urgent, but raising pigs was just the right time, and it was delivered soon, so he was in a hurry.
The head chef in the kitchen understands a bit better; he's the kind of person who's only half-baked and knows nothing, so this book came at just the right time.
These soldiers have a significant weakness: many, if not the vast majority, have very low levels of education and are illiterate. This is where people like Cheng Chao, who can read, come in handy.
While he was busy, he heard a commotion outside. Cheng Chao got up, opened the door to go out and see what was going on, and heard what sounded like a familiar voice. He was startled for a moment and asked the person next to him,
"What's going on outside? That noise..."
"They said a puppy came, and they've caught it..."
Upon hearing that it was a puppy, Cheng Chao jumped up and ran outside, shouting as he went.
"Don't do it, don't do it!"
On the training field, a small black dog was running around in the middle of the field. Its short legs looked no different from ordinary dogs, but it was obviously agile and powerful, with explosive power and excellent jumping ability. A group of people surrounded it, but they couldn't even touch its fur. Instead, they were the ones being led around. In just a short while, two circles of people surrounded it.
This was the scene Cheng Chao saw when he came out: a small dog with a tuft of white fur around its neck was weaving through the crowd like lightning. It seemed to sense a familiar presence, as it raised its head almost as soon as Cheng Chao approached.
"Woof!"
All they saw was a black shadow flash by, and then they saw the culprit who had amused them for most of the day had already fallen steadily into Cheng Chao's arms.
Cheng Chao was knocked back two steps by it before he could stand still.
There was some shock, but his face was full of doting smiles, and he was rubbing the fluffy head with both hands.
"Jixiang, what brings you here?"
Jixiang turned his head to look at the pursuers.
"Woof!"
"Okay, okay, they don't know you, they won't chase after you."
Seeing his brother being completely outmaneuvered by Ji Xiang, Cheng Chao felt a strange sense of accomplishment.
"That's all you've got. You can't even catch a dog this small."
The people around couldn't quite articulate their feelings either. Although it was the truth, it just didn't sit well with them.
Immediately, some people objected.
"Company Commander Cheng, we were just caught off guard. Otherwise, we would have taken this little thing down long ago."
Cheng Chao made no attempt to hide his dissatisfaction.
"Heh, you make it sound like you're being wronged. What if Jixiang were the infiltrated enemy? What do you think would happen then?"
"Then, then we, we,"
Most soldiers are honest, simple-minded, and straightforward. Hearing this, they immediately blushed.
Cheng Chao was actually quite helpless. Some of them were older brothers who had been in the army for many years, while the rest were young men who had just enlisted. Everyone trained very hard, but given the current situation, the food supplies from above were limited, and everyone's food rations were rationed.
In addition, during this lean season, the main dishes are mostly wild vegetables and radishes that were not eaten in winter. There is no oil or fat, which not only affects their combat effectiveness but also limits their physical fitness. Otherwise, given their current training intensity, their overall condition would definitely be much better than it is now.
He felt the pinch, but there was really no other way for the time being. It wasn't just them who didn't have enough food; every household was in a similar situation.
To put it another way, they still have food to eat; many villagers have already made wild vegetables their staple food.
Compared to other countries, they are already quite content. They just hope there will be no war, otherwise, life will be even more difficult.
Speaking of which, Jixiang and the others actually have better food and treatment than us. Otherwise, how did they get so fat and sleek?
After drifting off into a daze for a moment, Jixiang, who was being held tightly in his arms, became unhappy and barked a "woof" to remind him, pointing his front paw at his neck.
Cheng Chao then noticed that Jixiang still had a rope around her neck, with a tiny piece of paper clipped to the bottom. He couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Is this for me?"
He just got back from there a few days ago and is currently busy studying the books he brought back, so he hasn't been thinking about the past.
But what urgent matter could it be that could have happened so quickly that Jian Dan would go to the trouble of sending out this little darling?
Untie the paper and let Jixiang slide down and frolic. Cheng Chao then opened the paper.
The next second, his expression changed drastically, and his whole body tensed up.
His wide eyes stared in shock at every word on the note, and the air around him suddenly turned chilly.
Some of the people around ran away with Ji Xiang, while the remaining few, seeing Cheng Chao's expression, involuntarily took a few steps back. This was a sign that he was about to get angry.
"Company Commander, are you alright?"
They glanced at the note again. What important matter could it be that made their rarely angry company commander change his expression?
Cheng Chao casually rolled the note up in his hand, and when he looked up again, his expression had returned to normal.
"It's alright, I'll go find the commander. You guys keep an eye on things and make sure that dog doesn't get out."
After speaking, she turned around and walked quickly toward the conference room, her hands trembling slightly at her sides without her realizing it.
Cheng Jin and the others were still studying the book when they heard the door being rudely pushed open.
"Political Commissar, I have an important report to give. I'll wait for you in your office and call the regimental commander."
Before Cheng Jin could react, the door slammed shut, and he had already walked several meters away.
Cheng Jin was still carrying books when he opened the door, startled. The sound of the door closing made him jump again.
What did he say?
The person next to him quickly answered.
"Political Commissar, Company Commander Cheng says there's a situation to report."
Thinking about the brat's expression just now, which didn't seem like a joke, Cheng Jin also relaxed, put down the book, and...
"Okay, you guys keep an eye on things first. Go and call the regimental commander to my office."
Since it was serious business, Cheng Chao would never joke around. The two quickly returned to the office, and Cheng Chao still looked serious, even more expressionless than before.
"What's going on? Is there some unusual activity at the border?"
Lin Zhengde's first thought was naturally the war.
Then Cheng Chao took out a slip of paper and gestured for the two of them to read it first.
Cheng Jin muttered as he reached out his hand.
"What's going on? Why are you being so secretive?"
Finding Cheng Chao was a decision she made after much deliberation. Although she was certain that the things she obtained from the mountain were not anyone's private property, she still couldn't bear to watch them gather dust in her space when everyone was starving.
