Chapter 281 Didn’t You Say We Live in a Cave?
After Que Dongjin finished speaking, everyone looked at Wang Hanyu and Zheng Can, waiting for their opinions.
"I'll follow you!" Wang Hanyu said without hesitation.
"I'll follow you and Wang Xueliu." Zheng Can said.
"Okay! Come on! Let's have another drink!" said Que Dongjin.
Everyone raised their glasses, clinked them, and drank them all. Li Jianwei couldn't drink for the time being. He looked at everyone and tears came out. He thought that everyone had broken with the organization because of him. He was very moved and sad.
"Okay! No matter the time, drink in moderation! Let's eat. After dinner, everyone packs up and we move to the mountains overnight." Que Dongjin said.
"Move to the mountains?" Jiang Wukui asked Que Dongjin.
"What's wrong? Are you afraid of hardship?"
"No, no. How can we fight the Japanese devils if we go into the mountains?" said Jiang Wukui.
"Can't we fight the Japanese devils if we live in the mountains?" Wang Xueliu looked at Jiang Wukui.
"How to fight the Japanese devils? I'll tell you later. Tonight, we will move all the usable things here to the mountains." Que Dongjin said.
"Are we going up the mountain at night and building the shed overnight? Otherwise, how can we rest?" Zhang Dahu also felt that it was too sudden.
"Don't worry about that. I have my own arrangements." Que Dongjin looked at everyone. "I moved overnight because I don't want to fight with my own people. Who knows when the assassins sent by the higher-ups will arrive? Right? We have to save our strength to fight the Japanese."
"Let's all listen to Captain Que! By the way, our women's super action team was just established and then disbanded. However, since we are organizing a new team, we should also give it a name!" said Wang Xueliu.
"Choose a name? That's a good suggestion! I think we should name it the Tigers!" said Que Dongjin.
"Okay. Tigers! This name sounds awesome! We are going to scare the Japanese to death in the future!" Jiang Wukui said.
"What a pity! We still have several members of the female super action team who haven't come here. I think they will follow Captain Que." Wang Hanyu said.
"How about I go and get them over overnight?" Qin Shili looked at Que Dongjin. "I'm a fast runner. Go get them over. Captain Que, do you think this is a good idea?"
"No need! Even if you go, you may not be able to call all of them. I don't want to poach people from the training camp. After all, I came out of there. Besides, if they really want to follow us, there will always be a chance." Que Dongjin said.
"Que Dongjin is right. They are fighting the Japanese anyway. Let nature take its course!" Wang Xueliu said.
"Let's divide the work temporarily. Our team is not big, but some things still have a procedure. I volunteered to be the captain of the Tiger Team. I hope everyone has no objection!" said Que Dongjin.
"We are all following you. If you don't be the captain, who will be?" Jiang Wukui said with a smile.
"Okay! Captain Que! You will be neither promoted nor demoted." Qin Shili said jokingly.
"We don't want a deputy captain anymore! But we do need a political commissar. Who do you think should be the political commissar?" After Que Dongjin finished speaking, he glanced at everyone. The candidate in his mind was of course Wang Xueliu, but he wanted to elect her democratically so that he could do his work better in the future.
"Who else could be the political commissar? Wang Xueliu used to be the team leader, now he is the political commissar." Wang Hanyu said with a smile.
"Yes, yes. Political Commissar Wang. " said Zhang Dahu.
"Da Hu, you were the person in charge here. Do you have any objection to Wang Xueliu being the political commissar?" Que Dongjin asked.
"Captain Que, what are you talking about! What opinion can I have? I will absolutely obey the leadership of Political Commissar Wang." Zhang Dahu said with a smile.
"Okay. It's settled." Que Dongjin looked at Zhang Dahu and smiled, "Dahu, I'll appoint you here directly. You 'll be in charge of logistics management. As for your title? I haven't thought about it yet. I can't just call you director like Lao Ji did."
"Keep calling me Dahu!" Zhang Dahu said with a smile.
"Director of the logistics station." Wang Xueliu said with a smile.
"That's right. We don't recognize many of you, just like a small station passing by. You must be Stationmaster Zhang! The other staff are all members of the Tiger Team." Que Dongjin said.
"Okay. I prefer this Tiger Team. The ratio of men to women in this team is almost the same. Look, four men and five women. We have one more, and it would be the same if we had Li Yongjun. It would be the same number." Qin Shili said with a smile.
"Are you doing love matching?" Wang Xueliu asked with a smile.
"No. If another man comes, you women will have no competition. This will be good for us men." Zhang Dahu said with a smile.
Li Jianwei also laughed.
After everyone finished their meal and chatted for a while, Que Dongjin asked everyone to start packing their luggage.
Que Dongjin led everyone out of the city overnight and headed towards the mountains.
The moonlight shone on the mountain road, and everyone was talking and laughing. It didn't seem like they were hiding, but more like they were traveling.
"We can breathe fresh air again," said Xie Mengqi.
"The scenery in the mountains is beautiful. In this turbulent era, it is also a kind of enjoyment to be able to have a quiet moment in the mountains." Wang Hanyu said.
Jiang Wukui supported Li Jianwei and reminded him to be careful from time to time.
"Jianwei, let me carry you on my back for a while." said Zhang Dahu.
"No need. It's hard for you to carry the things." said Li Jianwei.
"What's so hard about it? As long as we are together, everything will be sweet no matter how hard it is." Zhang Dahu said with a smile.
"Let's settle down tonight. We'll go into town to buy food and daily necessities tomorrow," said Que Dongjin.
"That's right. We need to buy our daily necessities tomorrow. Stationmaster Zhang, listen carefully." Wang Xueliu said with a smile.
"Don't worry! I'll take the buyer Wu Kui to get it done." Zhang Dahu said with a smile.
"Da Hu, are you treating me like a porter again?"
"If I don't use you as a porter, who else can I use? Jianwei's injury has not healed yet, I can't arrange for Captain Que!" Zhang Dahu said.
"Political Commissar Wang, it's difficult for you to make arrangements. Aren't there Qin Shili, Xie Mengqi, Wang Hanyu and Zheng Can?" Jiang Wukui said with a smile.
"How dare you say that! Compare yourself with a woman." Zhang Dahu said.
"You are a man, and work is not tiring when men and women work together. Don't you understand this truth?" Jiang Wukui said.
"Stop arguing. Leave Xie Mengqi to take care of Li Jianwei tomorrow, and everyone else can go into the city." Que Dongjin said.
"Everyone is going into the city? Such a big move? How much goods do you want to buy?" Jiang Wukui asked.
"We will buy a lot of goods by then! But there must be no heads!" said Que Dongjin.
"I understand! Are we going to fight the Japanese?" Jiang Wukui asked.
"That's right. You and Zhang Dahu cannot participate in the battle. I will take the female team members to fight the Japanese and get a few sets of their clothes and keep them on the mountain as backup." Que Dongjin said.
"Unfortunately, we cannot participate in the war," said Jiang Wukui.
"You two must leave the city before ten o'clock. I'm afraid that after we do it, there will be martial law, and it will be difficult for you to leave the city with the goods." Que Dongjin said.
"Okay! Got it. I'll write down what I want to buy when I get to the mountains." said Zhang Dahu.
"If we want to use Japanese clothes from their bodies, does that mean we can't shoot?" Wang Hanyu asked.
"Get a few sets of costumes and then shoot? No need! We are going to fight the Japanese openly tomorrow." Que Dongjin said.
"I understand. We look for lone enemies or those in small numbers. After killing them, we strip off their clothes," said Zheng Can.
"That's right. Xie Mengqi is at home taking care of Li Jianwei; Dahu and Wu Kui are shopping. There are five of us left. Wang Xueliu and Zheng Can are in a group; Qin Shili and Wang Hanyu are in a group. I am in a separate group. Each group must get at least three sets of Jap devils' costumes. We will meet on the hill near the city gate before noon." Que Dongjin said.
"Dongjin, are you too impatient? Usually you move and arrange work at the same time?" Wang Xueliu said with a smile.
"It's all arranged. We can sleep well when we reach our destination," said Que Dongjin.
"Where do we stay?" Jiang Wukui asked.
"Let's go. It's not far. It's only two miles. However, there is still one mile with no road, which will be difficult to walk." Que Dongjin said.
"I understand. You will definitely take us to live in the cave first." Wang Xueliu said with a smile.
"How smart. The cave I'm taking you to is the most suitable for living. It's warm in winter and cool in summer. It's very spacious inside. There are three exits in this cave, and one exit leads to another hill." Que Dongjin said with a smile.
"How do you know? Haven't you been to these mountains before?" Wang Hanyu asked.
"Let me tell you the truth! I was a little bandit when I was a kid." Que Dongjin said.
Everybody laughed.
"What are you laughing at? I'm telling the truth. My father lived in this cave with his brothers. If there hadn't been a traitor, he wouldn't have died. However, I never considered my father a bandit! His men never robbed the poor. If he were still alive, I think he would have been a good anti-Japanese fighter." said Que Dongjin.
"That's right. Many people became bandits as a last resort. When the Japanese came, many bandits became anti-Japanese heroes!" said Wang Xueliu.
Everyone talked and laughed all the way to the end of the road.
"There really is no way out." Xie Mengqi said.
"Now I'm leading the way. There are no roads in the world, but when more people walk on it, it becomes a road. Follow me! Let's open up a road." Que Dongjin said as he walked towards the bushes.
Everyone followed Que Dongjin for more than ten minutes, but did not see any caves, only grass and forests, and occasionally some fluttering wild rabbits.
"We're here." Que Dongjin said.
"Are we there? Where's the cave? Didn't you say we were going to live in the cave?" Zhang Dahu asked.
"What are you looking at? Isn't it a cave?" Que Dongjin pointed at a crooked tree on his left.
"That's a tree, a crooked-necked tree! It's quite big and must have some history!" Wang Xueliu asked.
"This is the entrance to the cave, a relatively hidden entrance. Of the other two entrances, one is relatively large, so it can be considered the main door! This one is the side door. The exit on the other hill is also very hidden, so it can be considered the back door." Que Dongjin said with a smile.
"Dongjin, are you kidding us? We didn't see the cave!" Qin Shili said.
