This old man is amazing! Could he be a retired soldier?
The three Japanese soldiers were all young and had undergone special training, so their hearing was amazing.
It's incredible that an old man discovered it without the person noticing.
Little did they know that with the help of the muscle-relaxing pills, Zhao Youcai's physical functions had become so great that they were almost breaking through human limits.
If Zhao Youcai wanted to, the sound of his footsteps could be as soft as a breeze sweeping away fallen leaves.
Let alone the Japanese soldiers busy inside the cave, even if it were these veteran soldiers from the military region who had fought on the battlefield and made meritorious contributions, they would never have discovered Zhao Youcai's presence if they stayed inside the cave.
At this moment, Zhao Youcai had no idea how much shock he had brought to the two soldiers beside him, and he was catching rabbits with great enthusiasm using his bare hands.
What happened next made the two soldiers even more uneasy.
The old man casually reached into his clothes and pulled out a large sack from somewhere.
Zhao Youcai thought to himself: If you two hadn't been watching me so closely, I could have pulled out a carrying pole and two big bamboo baskets to carry the rabbits down the mountain.
After all, wild rabbits aren't something you can conjure up with a cheat code; Zhao Youcai can't just throw them into the farm's warehouse.
Suddenly pulling out a carrying pole from your person is too scary; a sack is much safer.
Although the two soldiers had been on the battlefield, they were not very old; otherwise, they would not have been sent to escort Zhao Youcai.
But they were both strong, and they couldn't just stand by and watch an old man carry a sack and heavy loads down the mountain while the two young men idly followed behind him.
Thus, the important task of moving the rabbits fell to the two young soldiers.
Zhao Youcai was happy to have some free time and walked ahead to lead the way for the two soldiers.
"We've had a good haul today. Even though I have a large family, we can't possibly eat all these rabbits. Take a few with you when you leave to improve your meals."
Zhao Youcai knew that there were many people in the military region, and a few rabbits wouldn't be enough for everyone to share. But at least it was meat, and stewing it with potatoes would at least give it a meaty flavor.
Besides, these people are out on a mission, so they'll probably get a reward when they get back. Maybe we can treat them to a nice meal?
The two soldiers quickly shook their heads in refusal. If they hadn't been busy carrying the rabbit, they would have waved Zhao Youcai off immediately.
"Comrade Zhao, you're too kind. This is all we should do. Protecting the safety of the people and national property is the duty of every soldier."
Zhao Youcai said a lot more, but he couldn't persuade him otherwise, so he had to give up.
After all, the comrades of the People's Liberation Army are strict in their military discipline and have never taken a single needle or thread from the people, so it would be difficult for them to break the rules.
Zhao Youcai suddenly remembered something.
From the town to the military region, excluding the time spent traveling from the steel plant to the military region, compared to the time spent returning from the military region to the vicinity of Zhaojiagou, it seems that Zhaojiagou is closer to the military region.
He hadn't heard of any military region near Zhaojiagou.
In addition, on the way there, in order to prevent anyone from finding out how to get to the military region, all the windows except for the driver and Director Cao, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, were covered with curtains.
Thinking carefully, Zhao Youcai made a bold guess after traveling in an off-road vehicle on both the way there and back.
This military region is most likely located in the mountains, or on an open area on the other side of the mountains.
The cave was an air-raid shelter located between the military region and Zhaojiagou.
Did those three Japanese devils study Sun Tzu's Art of War? They're pretty good at playing the "blind spot under the lamp" trick.
What Zhao Youcai was thinking was also what these two soldiers were thinking.
They had searched the area before but found nothing. They even followed the trail in several directions, but still found nothing.
The moment two soldiers carrying guns appeared at Zhao Youcai's doorstep carrying a bulging sack, the villagers who had been chatting and trying to curry favor with Zhao Youcai were stunned into silence.
This scene left everyone's minds buzzing.
The Zhao family has had a lot going on these past few days.
It's one thing that Zhao Youcai has close ties with the factory directors in the town and Team Leader Qi, but how did he also get involved with the military?
I've never heard of anyone in Zhao Youcai's family serving in the military.
Importantly, the two soldiers put the sacks down at Zhao Youcai's doorstep, gave a very serious military salute without even drinking a sip of water, and left with smiles on their faces.
"Could it be that Zhao Youcai got into trouble? I knew he was making money too easily. He's just an old peasant, doing so much business, he was bound to get into trouble sooner or later!"
"Look, the things in that sack are still moving. Zhao Youcai must have been caught red-handed hunting in the mountains!"
"What, are you really hoping something bad will happen to them?"
"Will you be satisfied when the village can't buy such good cloth anymore, and we can't do business with the farms anymore, you scoundrel?"
Just as the villagers were discussing it, some quick-witted people, in a split second, ran straight to the brigade leader's house.
Even if you're just watching the show, you should at least understand it properly, right? We still need to tell the captain about this so he can come and ask him personally.
Before the brigade leader could recover from the shock of Zhao Youcai working for the benefit of the whole village, he was stunned by the villagers' words.
By the time he came to his senses, he was already standing at Zhao Youcai's doorstep.
Looking at the two tightly closed doors and hearing the Zhao family's busy laughter inside, the captain felt he couldn't be so tactless.
Before he could even turn around, he saw that there were so many villagers watching that he couldn't squeeze out of the crowd.
If you were to shout at them from outside the gate, it would definitely attract the attention of Zhao Youcai's entire family.
Rather than acting like someone who has done something wrong and is afraid of being discovered, it's better to confidently step into Zhao Youcai's house.
As the village's head, he has a duty to visit and inquire about any doubts he may have.
Zhao Youcai had sweated a lot today. While he was changing his clothes in his room, his eldest son knocked on the door and called him.
"Dad, the brigade leader is here. He says he has something to ask you."
Zhao Youcai raised an eyebrow.
Two soldiers helped carry the sacks home. When they saw the villagers sitting in twos and threes around their doorsteps, they knew this was going to happen. They just didn't expect the brigade leader to arrive so quickly.
However, all of this was expected. Zhao Youcai replied calmly:
"I understand. I'll change my clothes and come out. Please ask the captain to wait a little while."
The soundproofing of the room was so-so, and Zhao Youcai didn't lower his voice.
The father and son were communicating through the door, and the brigade leader could naturally hear them. He quickly cleared his throat and expressed his opinion.
"Don't worry, take your time."
The villagers outside Zhao Youcai's courtyard dared not follow him in, nor were they willing to leave just like that, so they remained outside, and the crowd of onlookers grew even larger.
When the captain came in, he made sure to close the door behind him, blocking the view of those outside.
Otherwise, if they saw what the Zhao family was busy with in the courtyard, they would definitely be green with envy and jealousy.
