Yu Chenglong and Bi Ming quickly captured a big cock chicken, which surprised Yinping. At the same time, she was also confused. Since they encountered a large group, why not capture a few more?
"This cock is too clumsy. It can't fly for a long time, and it can't fly very far. Brother Bi only killed the big rooster. The smaller ones can't become independent yet, and the meat is not delicious."
The big hen has to be kept to take care of them, so it is not appropriate to shoot it. Real hunters are like this. They always obtain prey selectively and do not kill indiscriminately. "
The four of them chatted while busy. Before the sun set, with the afterglow of the setting sun, the four of them had a delicious, hot and warm picnic, which was very pleasant.
"Today's dinner is early. Jackie Chan and Yinping, you go and have a chat. You act like you don't know each other and don't talk to each other. You two go over there. Lao Bi and I have something to talk about."
Seeing that they had eaten early tonight, Deputy Commander Hua persuaded Yu Chenglong and Yinping to go to the nearby woods to talk, but Yu Chenglong did not agree.
"It's better to rest early. I haven't stopped walking these past few days and I'm tired. Yinping is still injured and has not healed well. She needs to pay more attention to her.
I guess we are almost out of the mountain. We all need to be alert at this time. We still have important tasks ahead of us. "
"My injury is fine. It will be healed soon. I also have medicine with me. How is your injury? You should pay more attention."
"A man's skin is strong. This injury will heal in ten or eight days. It's fine now. You just have to pay more attention. Your injury is more serious than mine. Don't be careless."
This world is unfair. Why are women forced to take this path? It’s so painful. We men are sometimes too careless and fail to take good care of you. We should think more about it in the future. "
Yu Chenglong felt a little guilty, but what he said was true. This made Yinping seem a little sad, but she rarely heard such caring words from Yu Chenglong.
"We all depend on each other and take care of each other. Now that we have embarked on this path, we are not afraid of suffering.
As a group of us, we are walking on the edge of a cliff, and bumps and bumps are common. I am not that delicate, and my injury is almost healed. Thank you for your concern! "
"You were injured because of me, but I didn't go to see you often. I did something wrong. This time we go out to perform a mission together, and I want to make up for it."
From today on, I will let Deputy Commander Hua supervise me. If I see anything I don’t do well, Deputy Commander Hua will directly criticize me. Okay, let's all go to bed so we can go on our way quickly tomorrow. "
After Yu Chenglong finished speaking, he walked back to the temporary residence he and Bi Ming built together. He was afraid that it would be bad to continue chatting like this, and he could not delay important events because of the long love between his children.
After walking for another five days and four nights, we arrived at the edge of the forest and approached Xinglong Village. This was the closest village we had walked to after leaving the mountain.
In the darkness, Yu Chenglong and the other four saw two adults leading two children in the wasteland. The four of them observed for a while and decided to come forward and talk.
"Uncle, why are we still opening up wasteland when it's so dark? Our family of four lives in the mountains and hunts. Didn't the Japanese drive us out of Qingshan? We wanted to go out to make a living in the mountains, and we ended up here.
It's getting dark today, and I can't walk anymore. I want to ask for water in this village, and I hope uncle can help me. Thank you! "
Yu Chenglong carefully explained his purpose while observing. But the northern man in his forties in front of him was shirtless and his bronze arms were slim and strong.
Especially the pants he was wearing were full of patches, making him look poor. The man raised his head and looked at the four people carefully, guessing their identities.
"It's not that I won't help you. No one has any difficulties when traveling. But my family is so poor that we can't even put on clothes.
Otherwise, why would I come here to open up wasteland in the dark? I am afraid of being seen by others during the day. What a shame! Besides, I really don’t have much to eat at home, so I can’t entertain you. I’m sorry, brother! "
The middle-aged man sighed as he spoke, and Yu Chenglong really felt the poverty of this family, otherwise this man might not refuse his request.
"Don't be afraid, uncle, we have all the food with us. Just give us hot water to drink. Thank you!" Yu Chenglong said, taking out two pancakes and walking towards the three mothers who were hiding aside: "Little brother, all Are you hungry? Let’s eat some food first, then we’ll eat when we get home later.”
When the three mothers saw Jackie Chan approaching, they hurriedly covered their bodies. Yu Chenglong saw that this woman in her forties was only wearing a pair of trousers above the knees, and they were still leaking.
Next to her, a girl about thirteen or fourteen years old had begun to grow, but she was still wearing a pair of shorter pants. She was covering her breasts with her hands and hiding behind her mother.
A boy of about ten years old was naked, looking at the pancake in Yu Chenglong's hand, looking a little worried.
The feet of these three people were tied with birch bark, and the shoes on the man's feet were also in disrepair. It seemed that this family was really poor and looked very pitiful.
Yu Chenglong forced the pancakes into the boy's hands, and Yinping came over at this time and put the two women's clothes he took out of the bag on them.
"I met a good person, let's go home!"
The man picked up the pickaxe and led Yu Chenglong and the four of them toward the village without looking back. He felt that although the family was in embarrassment, the man still decided to take the four of Yu Chenglong home, otherwise he would be very sorry for these four strange and good people.
The place where the wasteland was reclaimed was still quite far away from the village. On the road, the man told Yu Chenglong and the others that his surname was Lin and his name was Lin Fushun. The village was called Xinglong Village, which was the closest village to the mountains.
There used to be only about twenty households in this village, but now there are eighty or ninety households, all of whom moved in later. His family also moved here just after spring.
It turned out that the place where his family lived had a house and land, but the Japanese pioneer group took it over and burned his house to nothing. He fled the famine and came to Xinglongtun without taking anything out of it.
The Japanese don't know how to farm at all, and they ask us Chinese to do the work. We just give the people who carry the work some food and nothing else. How can a family survive?
If we don't work for him, he will drive us out of the village. If we don't leave, he will burn your house, forcing the poor who have lost their land to leave their homes!
Originally, it was said that moving to a new place would provide some land for farming, but when I came here, I saw that there was no land, and the government didn't care at all. There was no other way. If you want to survive, you have to open up wasteland on your own.
Everyone is opening up wasteland and planting land, but it’s so late in the solar term and they can’t harvest anything they plant. Besides, they don’t even have seeds. It’s really difficult! "
While talking, everyone came to the village. Next to a group of newly built simple houses, Lin Fushun let Yu Chenglong and the four of them into the house and lit the oil lamps.
