Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 15 He is admirable
After dealing with Chen Shangwen's matter, Li Jin left Wang's house, and the group set off back to Wu's village. Of course, he didn't forget Wang Xi's big horse.

Li Jin originally wanted to ride back, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. Instead, he asked the horse to drag a few bags of grain and take it back.

At 12:30 in the middle of the night, the group finally returned to Wujia Village.

The camp is behind a small hill at the end of the village.

After returning to the camp, Li Jin asked Xu Qingfeng to move food and weapons into the warehouse.

"Tell the soldiers, take a day off tomorrow and don't need to train." Outside the warehouse, Li Jin said to Xu Qingfeng.

"Okay." Xu Qingfeng nodded.

"After counting the harvest this time, I will take them to the old village head and let the old village head arrange a place for them." After Li Jin finished speaking, he took He Chun and the others to the old village head's house at the head of the village.

The old village head is Wu Nian. He is over 70 years old this year and has a very high seniority in the village. It is said that he was a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty and a cultural person.

When he came to the old village chief's house, Li Jin knocked on the courtyard door, and then came to the fence to look at the old village chief's house.

"Who is it?" An old voice came from inside the room.

Not long after, an old man opened the door, walked across the yard and came out to open the door.

"Old village head." Li Jin greeted.

"Ah, it's Xiao Jin." Village Chief Wu hurriedly opened the door.

"What's the matter so late? Come in and talk about it." Village Chief Wu glanced at the group of women following behind Li Jin and said.

Soon Li Jin and the others entered the yard.

"Old village chief, it's like this. As for them, they all came from famine and had no place to live, so I brought them back to the village. Can you find a place for them to live?" Li Jin said.

"Of course it's no problem. Old He's house is still vacant. Since Lao He's death, his descendants have all gone to live in other places. They haven't come back for many years. It's just right for them to live." Village Chief Wu readily agreed.

After all, in these times of war, many people were fleeing disasters, so Village Chief Wu didn't doubt He Chun and the others.

"Can the He family accommodate more than a dozen people?" Li Jin said.

After all, there are more than a dozen people here.

"Don't worry, the old He's house has a lot of houses. It was originally planned for you to live in, but you said that living in the village would easily affect us, so you ran to the end of the village to build a house." Village Chief Wu said.

When Li Jin and the others came, Village Chief Wu planned to let Li Jin and the others live in the old He's house, but Li Jin ran to the back of the hillside at the end of the village to build a house by himself.

"So that's the case." Li Jin nodded.

"Let's go, I'll take you there. Old He's house is not far from me." Village Chief Wu said as he went out first, and Li Jin and the others followed Village Chief Wu.

"I'm really sorry to disturb you so late." Li Jin said to Village Chief Wu.

"Don't bother me, as long as you can fight devils, it's fine. By the way, Xiao Jin, you have taken action today." Village Chief Wu said.

In the evening, he planned to give Li Jin and the others two sticks of bacon, but when he went to the place where Li Jin and the others were training, he didn't see anyone.

This time, with so many women brought back, Village Chief Wu vaguely guessed something.

"Well, yes, some puppet soldiers were killed." Li Jin nodded, but he didn't hide it.

"Okay, well killed! Those bastards who bullied their masters and exterminated their ancestors shouldn't be alive. If they do something wrong, they must be traitors and kill them all!" Village Chief Wu said angrily.

What he hates the most is this kind of guy who bullies his teachers and destroys his ancestors. If he is not a good person, if he insists on being a dog, his ancestors will lose all face.

Although there are some traitors who are forced to be traitors, they should stick to the bottom line and not harm the common people.

Li Jin nodded, not daring to speak.

"By the way, the village head, I plan to set up a women's rescue association, which is to organize women in the village to help make military uniforms or shoes, etc.
We will pay accordingly, and we will also take care of the meals. "Li Jin said.

"What kind of reward are you going to give? If you beat devils, you are risking your life in exchange for our safety. We want your reward. Isn't that a beast?" Village Chief Wu directly refused.

"This..." Li Jing just wanted to say something, but was interrupted.

"Don't talk about remuneration anymore, or I will get angry, old man." Village Chief Wu said with a serious face.

"Okay, but we have to take care of the food, and we can't let you work for nothing. You can't say anything about it." Li Jin said.

"Okay." Village Chief Wu nodded.

Not long after, Village Chief Wu took them to He's house.

In the yard surrounded by fences, there are five or six houses side by side, and there are two houses side by side on the right. It can be seen that the He family had a good life in the village before.

Village head Wu opened the courtyard door and walked in.

"The one on the far left is Lao He's house, so don't stay there, lest you be afraid." Village Chief Wu said, pointing to that house.

After all, this is the place where the dead lived before, and it is not suitable for other people to live in.

"Okay." Li Jin nodded.

"The house here has been cleaned before, and there are still quilts in the house, so you can just live in it." Village head Wu said to He Chun and the others.

"Thank you, old village head." He Chun and the others thanked them.

"You're welcome." Village Chief Wu showed a kind smile. He also felt sorry for these people. He probably suffered a lot on the road, so he helped as much as he could.

"Xiao Jin, then I'll go first." Village Chief Wu said and left.

"Village Chief, walk slowly." Li Jin warned, and Village Chief Wu waved his hand to signal that there is no need to worry.

"Platoon Leader Li, does Village Chief Wu live alone? Why didn't anyone come out when we went?" He Chun asked.

On the way, she knew Li Jin's name from the soldiers.

"Yes, he originally had two sons and three grandsons. Two of his sons died of illness early on, and two of his grandsons died in battle in Songhu. The remaining grandson is still a soldier in the national army. "Li Jin said.

There were originally two daughter-in-laws in the village head Wu's house, but after the son died, the two daughter-in-laws also died of illness one after another. Village head Wu now lives alone.

"Ah, that's it." After hearing this, He Chun and the others felt that Village Chief Wu was very pitiful.

It’s fine if the son died of illness, but the two grandsons died in battle, and the remaining grandson is still serving as a soldier. Maybe he will die in battle at some point.

"Village Chief Wu is an admirable person. He has done a lot for the country. After the death of his two grandsons, he sent the last grandson to serve as a soldier." Li Jin said later, with a heavy heart.

For the older generation, passing on the family line is very important, but Village Chief Wu also sent his last grandson to the battlefield, which is equivalent to making his family an extinct one.

The patriotism of the older generation is no worse than that of the young.

He Chun and the others were also silent when they heard Li Jin's words, they just wanted to see the old village head more in the future, so as not to let the old village head be so lonely.
