"When Ma Zhanshan was a child, he learned the art of disguise from a street performer.
What the Military Control Commission valued most was his ability to disguise himself. After joining the Military Control Commission, he rarely showed his true face. He was considered the Military Control Commission's ace agent.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he hid in the enemy-occupied area. Even if the entire Military Control Station was captured, it would be difficult for the Japanese to catch him.
But this man is our class enemy, he is brutal by nature and has killed countless of our revolutionary comrades. The blood of the martyrs will never be shed in vain."
Xiao Yihan had a serious expression and clenched his fists tightly.
Qi Yue was silent for a moment. He glanced at Xiao Yihan and said, "Brother, if Li Mengxue is Ma Zhanshan's daughter, does that mean that Li Mengxue is Boss Ma?"
Xiao Yihan paused and said, "Li Mengxue should be Boss Ma, but we still lack evidence. It is difficult to convict her based on Chu Zhiqing's portrait alone.
We've gained quite a bit this time. We'll keep a close eye on Li Mengxue when we get back. A fox will always show its tail."

Chu Jingqiu went to work in the village early in the morning. She planned to spend more time with her grandparents these days, so she had to finish the day's workload.
By the time the assistants arrived for work, she had already painted enough for them to color for the day.
After instructing her assistant on the remaining tasks, she hurried back to the educated youth camp. When she returned, she found that her grandparents had already gone for a stroll in the mountains.
Shi Aihong and the other three also went with them. She found that the backpack was also taken away by her grandmother, and there was no need to mention the bow and arrow. Grandpa He must have taken it up the mountain.
She filled a kettle with spiritual spring water, took out a few packets of snacks and a roast duck from the space, thought for a while, and took out a few apples and put them in her green shoulder bag.
When we get up the mountain, I'll let a few people eat something. The food at the educated youth camp is definitely not good.
When Chu Jingqiu trotted to the mountain, his grandfather had gone hunting by himself, while his grandmother and a few girls were picking pine cones and hazelnuts.
Chu Jingqiu greeted them first, and then went to find her grandfather.
After searching in the woods for a while and not finding him, she asked Jiang Jiang, "Jiang Jiang, can you help me find my grandpa?"
Jiang Jiang's voice soon came from his ears: "Grandpa is lying on the ground in the woods on your left. He seems to have seen a muntjac. He plans to wait until it gets closer before hitting it."
Chu Jingqiu tiptoed over, but before he got close, he heard his grandfather cheering, "Haha, I hit the target! We have meat to eat again."
Chu Jingqiu ran over quickly and found that her grandfather was pulling out an arrow. A fat muntjac was lying on the ground. Chu Jingqiu estimated that it weighed about 30 kilograms.
"Grandpa, you are so awesome! You beat a big one!" Chu Jingqiu shouted excitedly.
When Mr. He saw Chu Jingqiu coming, he quickly called her, "Xiaoqiu, come here quickly. We will take it down the mountain together.
I tell you, today I saw a small animal and I didn’t attack it, I wanted to beat up a big one and see.”
"Grandpa, we still have half of the roe deer we hunted yesterday left, and you hunted another big one.
We can make it into jerky when we get home, and you can bring it back for my dad and mom to try."
Mr. He's eyes lit up and he said, "Your idea is good. I was just worried about it. If I go hunting every day these days...
If we catch too much, we won’t be able to eat it all, and if it goes bad, it will be a waste. We can also catch pheasants and rabbits and make them into dried chicken and dried rabbit.
It can be stored for a long time without spoiling, and I can take it back to let those old guys taste it and tell them that it was my own."
The two of them carried the muntjac to find grandma and the others. They had filled their backpacks with muntjac, and several of them were making garlands.
Chu Jingqiu walked over and gave the kettle to her grandmother first, letting her drink some spiritual spring water.
Then he took out some snacks and roast duck from his bag, washed a few apples, and placed them on a stone.
The few people didn't eat much in the morning, and after running in the mountains for a whole morning, they were indeed a little hungry, so they sat around the rocks and started eating.
While they were eating, Chu Jingqiu cut down a few large branches and made a simple small trailer.
She put the muntjac on a branch and dragged it down the mountain. If she and Old Man He were asked to carry it down the mountain, they would probably be exhausted.
Old Master He also drank a few sips of the spiritual spring water. He felt refreshed after drinking it, and all his fatigue disappeared.
Li Peilan said, "Old He, have you felt very comfortable these past few days? You feel relaxed all over, as if you've become decades younger.
I didn't feel tired while climbing the mountain. I used to have synovitis in my knee, which hurt when I walked, but these past two days, there is no pain at all.
He Qixian felt the same way, “I thought that was why I was happy to see Xiaoqiu, but you don’t know that when I was hunting, I could run faster than those young people.
Maybe it’s because we don’t get enough exercise! The mountains and waters here are really nourishing.”
Chu Jingqiu remained silent. She couldn't say that you two elders drank the spiritual spring water.
After everyone had rested, Chu Jingqiu walked in front dragging the muntjac, He Qixian helped his wife carry the backpack, and walked behind with a few girls.
Back at the educated youth site, it was Hu Mingyue and Qin Yilan's turn to cook today.
A few days ago, Lin Zishan and Qin Yilan switched groups, so Hu Mingyue and Qin Yilan were in one group, and Zhang Pingping and Lin Zishan were in another.
Hu Mingyue and Qin Yilan first cooked millet porridge and steamed buns.
Hu Mingyue planned to eat the remaining half of the roe deer meat at noon, but she didn't know how to do it.
Just when she was worried, she saw them coming back and asked Grandpa He: "Grandpa, how do you cook this roe deer meat? I don't know how to cook it."
"Just cut it into small pieces and braise it." He Qixian said to Hu Mingyue gently.
Qin Yilan was burning the fire and said in a coquettish tone, “Grandpa, why don’t you do it, we can’t do it well.”
"How can you be so shameless? How dare you let your grandfather, such an old man, cook for you and serve you?" Shi Aihong couldn't stand her and said a few words to her.
"That's right, we don't know how to make it, and if it doesn't taste good, it's a waste." Qin Yilan rolled her eyes and retorted.
Chu Jingqiu had just dragged the muntjac in and was about to skin it and take out the meat.
After hearing this conversation, she said bluntly: "Who is born knowing how to cook? Don't you have a mouth under your nose?
If you don’t know how to do it, you can ask others how to do it. You should also have the nerve to speak up.
Grandpa hunted the game and let you eat the meat for free, so does he have to cook it for you and feed you if you want? "
Qin Yilan choked. Seeing Li Peilan coming, her eyes turned red and she said aggrievedly, "Grandma, look, they all bully me."
Li Peilan glanced at her coldly and said, "Old He is old. He has been running in the mountains all morning. He is really tired and needs to rest.
Just do as you see fit. Xiaoqiu and Aihong also feel bad for their grandfather, so don't be offended."
After saying that, without waiting for Qin Yilan to speak, he pulled Mr. He into the house.
