Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 73

The next day, at seven o'clock in the morning, Li Jin asked Xu Qingfeng to train the soldiers, and he took Tang Fang to find the old village chief, after all, he had to arrange the girls brought back.

"The head of this village, is it okay to talk? Will he refuse us to stay in the village?" Tang Fang said as she walked.

"No, the old village chief is a very nice person, otherwise, I wouldn't choose this place as my base." Li Jin said.

The old village head treated them as if they were relatives.

Tang Fang nodded, if that's the case, that's okay.

"When the time comes, just say that you are fleeing famine, not that we rescued you in the bandit den." Li Jin said.

Although the old village chief didn't care about these things, other villagers would probably chew their tongues if they found out.

"Yes, I see." Tang Fang nodded and said, "I will tell my sisters when I get back."

"That's fine." Li Jin said.

"Morning, Li platoon leader, are you going to find the village chief?!" At this moment, a young man with a hoe walked up to him.

"Yeah, I have something to do with the village chief. Is Brother Chen going to weed the fields?" Li Jin stopped and said.

"Well, the weather is good today. I went to the field to weed and weed," Brother Chen nodded. He looked at Tang Fang next to him and asked, "Who is this?!"

"Her name is Tang Fang, and she came here from famine. I went to the village chief to find a place for them to live." Li Jin explained.

"It's like this, alas...the world is not easy, so I'll go first." Brother Chen sighed deeply, and then left.

Li Jin took Tang Fang and continued to walk towards the village chief's house. Along the way, many villagers greeted Li Jin, and Li Jin smiled back.

"You seem to be very popular in the village," Tang Fang said.

Although she had always heard that the Eighth Route Army treated the common people well, that was all heard. Now that she saw it with her own eyes, she still felt a little unbelievable.

Compared with the national army, the Eighth Route Army seems to be really good.

In the past, the national army went to the village to recruit troops, but they were all compulsory conscription, and those who dared to escape were arrested directly.

"It's okay, I'm a soldier after all, and I should have good dealings with ordinary people." Li Jin replied.

"That's what happened to the Eighth Route Army," Tang Fang said. She heard that ten years ago, some national army officers couldn't catch the Eighth Route Army, so they went to massacre the people in the village, and then said that the Eighth Route Army went to claim credit.

Hearing this, Li Jin didn't say much, and soon, the two came to Village Chief Wu's house.

Village Chief Wu's kitchen chimney was emitting white smoke, apparently cooking porridge.

Li Jin was also polite, pushed open the door and walked in.

"Old village chief, I'm here." Li Jin shouted.

As soon as the words were finished, Village Chief Wu came out from the kitchen on the right.

"Why are you here, kid?" Village Chief Wu smiled, his wrinkles squeezed into a flower.

"It's not that I miss you, come and see you." Li Jin smiled.

"Don't come here." Village Chief Wu said angrily, "Let's get down to business."

He saw the girl following behind Li Jin.

"Hey, sure enough, you can't hide anything from the village chief." Li Jin said with a sneer.

"Couldn't this be fleeing famine too?!" Village Chief Wu said tentatively.

"Well, more than one, a total of 46 girls." Li Jin nodded.

"What? 46?" Village Chief Wu said in shock. He thought there were only a few people at most, but he didn't expect there to be 46.

"Yes, there are too many people. I remember that there are several vacant houses at the west end of the village. That's why I came to discuss with you. If no one lives there, why not let them live there." Li Jin said.

He is well aware of the situation in the village. If there are vacant houses, the ones that are unoccupied are at the west end of the village.

"No one lives, but no one lives there, it's just a bit off the side." Village Chief Wu said.

"It's okay, it's better to be biased, and you won't deal with too many people." Tang Fang said.

"If you don't dislike it, then stay here. Anyway, there is no one living there. If you need anything, you can come to me." Village Chief Wu said.

"Thank you, Village Chief." Tang Fang bowed to Village Chief Wu.

"Xiao Jin, I won't take you there, you go on your own." Village Chief Wu said, the west end of the village is a bit far from his home, and he doesn't want to run around with his old bones.

"Hey, okay." Li Jin nodded, and then took Tang Fang to the west of the village.

Soon, they walked out of the village.

"It's over there." Li Jin said, pointing to a house 200 meters away.

These rooms are connected by six or seven houses, nearly 200 meters away from the village.

"It's pretty good." Tang Fang said happily. The residence here is simply too good. It's not far or close to the village, and there are few people to say hello to.

"If you are satisfied, go back and ask them to move here. After you move here, I will send food to you." Li Jin said.

There is no way to get those girls to move here quickly. After all, the military camp is full of big men, so it is not suitable for girls to live together, and it is not convenient.

"Okay." Tang Fang nodded.

Li Jin and Tang Fang returned to the barracks.

Those girls were all sitting under the eaves now, and when they saw Li Jin and Tang Fang coming back, they got up quickly.

"Platoon Leader Li, did the old village chief agree to our stay?!" A girl said.

"I agree. It's at the west end of the village. The location is a bit off. I hope you don't dislike it." Li Jin said.

"No, no, it's fine to live in some, so how could you dislike it?"

"If it wasn't for Platoon Leader Li, we would still be in the bandit's den, why would we bother to dislike him?"

"........."

The girls said one after another.

"It's fine if you don't dislike it, then you go and clean up, and I will send you bedding and food tonight." Li Jin said.

"it is good."

The girls said they were about to leave, but stopped again, and they bowed deeply to Li Jin.

If it wasn't for Li Jin, they would have died in the bandit's den long ago.

After the girls left, Li Jin went to the warehouse.

"Platoon leader!" Chen Erdan and Zhao Xiaowu who guarded the warehouse quickly saluted Li Jin.

"Well, open the door." Li Jin nodded and asked them to open the door.

"Yes!" Zhao Xiaowu took out the key and opened the iron door.

After Li Jin entered the warehouse and came to piles of grain, he grabbed two bags of grain and put them on his shoulders.

"You two can help too." Li Jin said.

"Okay, platoon leader, how much are you moving?"

"Move ten bags."

"Yes."

Soon, Li Jin and the others moved ten bags of grain to the open space of the warehouse.

Looking at the grain on the ground, Li Jin thought for a while and said to Chen Erdan: "You two take ten oceans, go to the town to buy a few bolts of floral cloth, and come back with fifty quilts."

"Ah? What are you doing buying cloth?!" Chen Erdan asked in confusion.

"Why do you ask so many questions, just buy it, and drive the ox cart over there." Li Jin said, the flower cloth is naturally for those girls, and they don't have much clothes to wear.

"Ok."
