Chapter 289 We are hunting him down
Xie Mengqi and the other three were attracted by the "crash" sound, but they found nothing.
"What's going on? Be alert!" said Xie Mengqi.
A night owl's cry was heard.
"It scared me! We imitated the call of a wild cat and it really attracted one. Unfortunately, we didn't notice it and killed the wild cat and fried it to eat as a dish." said Xie Mengqi.
"Cat... cat..." Li Jianwei imitated the call of a wild cat.
"What are you learning? The one that just passed by was a male cat. It must have been Zheng Can who imitated his meowing, so it came over." Xie Mengqi said with a smile.
"Mengqi, you are so bad! Why do you associate wild cats with humans? Are you a female cat?" Zheng Can said while patting Xie Mengqi.
"I didn't say you were a female cat, aren't you admitting it yourself?" Xie Mengqi said with a smile.
"Mengqi, stop kidding. Seriously, have you ever eaten wild cat meat? If you really caught a wild cat, what would you do?" Li Jianwei asked.
"Of course I have eaten it. It's delicious. If you catch a wild cat, I will cook it for you. You will think about it while eating it. It's delicious! Let me tell you, the wild cat meat is cooked with chili peppers. It's spicy and flavorful!" Xie Mengqi said with a smile.
"My injury hasn't healed yet, and I can't catch up with a wild cat. Who do you think can catch a wild cat?" Li Jianwei asked.
"Want to eat? Que Dongjin and Qin Shili can definitely catch a wild cat. They are smarter and run faster than wild cats in the mountains." Zheng Can said.
"Is it true or false?" Xie Mengqi asked.
"Really? During the special training, we saw that both of them moved very quickly. Que Dongjin even caught a pheasant!" Zheng Can said.
"Awesome! I only know that he is awesome, but I don't know exactly how awesome he is." Xie Mengqi said with a smile.
"You don't know how powerful he is? He killed five Japanese devils and skinned them, and you still don't know how powerful he is?" Zheng Can said with a smile.
"We just imagined how powerful he was, but we didn't see how he dealt with five Japanese devils!" Xie Mengqi laughed.
"Are you kidding me? You have been with him for a long time. Humph! You are teasing me on purpose." Zheng Can said.
"Don't tell me that Quedong has come in. I'm already drooling over what Xie Mengqi said about wild cat meat. Mengqi, tell me, how do you cook wild cat meat? I want to see if you're lying." Li Jianwei said.
"Want to learn? Let me tell you! Wild cat meat! The older the wild cat, the better it tastes. First, boil the oil, put the chopped wild cat meat in, stir-fry, then put in the ginger, garlic, chili peppers, add water and boil for a while, then add salt at the end, and it would be better if you add some orange peel. When it absorbs the soup and smells fragrant, it's ready. Eat it! It's so refreshing and satisfying." Xie Mengqi said.
"Is it really that delicious? Is it more satisfying than spicy and sour beef?" Li Jianwei really wanted to eat it.
"Of course! Game! How can it be compared with spicy and sour beef?" Xie Mengqi said proudly.
“Forget it, don’t keep me in suspense. I can’t eat it even if I want to. It’s rare to encounter wild cats.” Zheng Can said.
"Go back! Your injury hasn't healed yet because of the night wind! The cave is warm and beautiful." Xie Mengqi said.
"It's really much warmer in the cave. Okay, let's go back," said Li Jianwei.
The three of them returned to the cave, and Li Jianwei asked, "Tell me, have Que Dongjin and the others arrived at my house?"
"Is it that fast? Don't worry, it's okay. They will pick up your mother tonight." Xie Mengqi said.
Que Dongjin and his friends had not really reached Li Jianwei's home. However, they had already reached the edge of the city and were starting to enter. After a few people entered the city, Que Dongjin said, "Da Hu, go pick up your grandma, try to be as quick as possible, and don't bring unnecessary things. We'll meet on that dirt slope later."
"Okay. Wu Kui, Han Yu, the two of you follow me!" Zhang Dahu said as he took them towards his home.
When Zhang Dahu and his companions were almost home, Dahu said, "Don't follow me yet. I'll explore the road first to see if there are any sentries nearby. Be alert."
"You go! We'll keep an eye on it. If anything happens, we'll act accordingly," said Jiang Wukui.
Zhang Dahu crouched and walked stealthily towards his home. Jiang Wukui had climbed onto a roof early in the morning and was looking around. Wang Hanyu was hiding in a corner and looking around.
Zhang Dahu knocked on the door and spoke softly.
"Da Hu? Is that my Da Hu?" an old man's voice.
"Grandma, it's me. I'm Dahu, open the door." Zhang Dahu said.
The old woman got up and turned on the light. She walked tremblingly to the door, looked at it, and saw that it was Zhang Dahu. She excitedly grabbed his hand and said, "Dahu, you're back to see grandma? I missed you so much."
"Grandma, I miss you too." said Dahu.
"Dong came to see me and said you were fine, so I felt relieved. Dahu, why did you come back at night? Did something happen?" the old man asked worriedly.
"Nothing's wrong. What could happen? Grandma, I want to take you to live with me?" Zhang Dahu said.
"Go with you? No. I can't drag you down. Don't you want to fight the big Japs? How can you fight the small Japs with an old woman like me? No, no." said the old man.
"Grandma, listen to me. We live in a cave, and when we go out to fight the Japanese, someone will accompany you. When you go, we will cheer you up so that we can feel at ease when the Japanese come." Zhang Dahu said.
"You live in a cave? Are you the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces that people are talking about?" the old man asked.
"Grandma, you will know this later . Let's pack up and go! Dongjin is here too. He went to pick up Jianwei's mother." Zhang Dahu said.
"Did Dong go in to pick up Jianwei's mother? What happened to Jianwei? What happened to him?"
"Jianwei suffered some minor injuries, but he's fine. He's waiting for us in the cave. Wouldn't it be nice for you to go there and have the company of Jianwei's mother?" said Zhang Dahu.
“I couldn’t bear to leave my home.”
"Grandma, are you willing to leave me? Hurry up! We have two more people waiting outside." Zhang Dahu said.
"Why don't you let them in? Go and ask them to come in for tea."
"Grandma, you know, this world is still in chaos. The two of them are on guard outside. What if, the Japanese devils come? Hurry up!" Zhang Dahu said.
"I don't want to implicate you. I just want you to fight more Japanese devils," said the old man.
Zhang Dahu couldn't tell them that they had left the organization, fearing that people from the organization would come and cause trouble. He said anxiously, "Grandma, the longer I stay in this city, the more dangerous it will be. The little Jap devils are looking for us everywhere! Hurry up!"
"Yes, yes, yes, if you beat the Jap devils, they will definitely come after you. Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's pack up and go." said the old man.
"Just bring some commonly used items. Don't bring too much." said Zhang Dahu.
"What else can we have in our house? Just take the quilt and my clothes!" said the old man.
"You don't need to bring your torn quilt. We have some. Just bring two sets of nicer clothes with you! We will buy them for you when we get there," said Zhang Dahu.
"No, I have to take everything I can wear," said the old man.
Zhang Dahu was talking to his grandmother and packing his things. Que Dongjin and his friends had also arrived at Li Jianwei's house.
Que Dongjin suddenly stopped and said, "Xue Liu, Shi Li, something is wrong. I have a feeling that someone is ambushing Jian Wei's house!"
"What should we do? So, the people above have already targeted his mother! They want to use his mother as a hostage to arrest Li Jianwei?" Wang Xueliu asked.
"It's possible! Let's put it this way, you two get ready to respond, and I'll go knock on the door." Que Dongjin said.
"Going east is very dangerous!" said Wang Xueliu.
"It's okay. They want Li Jianwei, and they won't attack me for the time being when they see that I'm not Li Jianwei. Besides, if they really want to attack, I won't be polite. You two pay attention and control the situation outside. If there is an ambush outside, protect yourselves!" Que Dongjin said as he walked towards the door of Li Jianwei's house.
Wang Xueliu and Qin Shili quickly hid and watched the developments around them.
Que Dongjin knocked on the door. There was no response.
"Master! It's me! Is Jianwei at home?" Que Dongjin asked deliberately.
There were footsteps in the room. Que Dongjin tilted his ear and listened, and heard two footsteps! He knew that someone from the organization was ambushing in the room.
"What should we do? Retreat now? No! How can we be fair to Li Jianwei? Go in and arrest them, and make them hand over Li Jianwei's mother." Que Dongjin thought so and made preparations.
"Open the door! I have something to talk to Jianwei about." Que Dongjin said deliberately.
The door opened. The person who opened the door was about to put a gun to Que Dongjin's head, but before he could raise his gun to point at Que Dongjin, the person who came in took it away and pointed it at his chest.
"Don't move! Get down if you want to live!" Que Dongjin pointed a gun in each hand at the chests of the two men.
"Who are you? Don't mess around! If you call me Li Jianwei, you must be his friend. Let me tell you, Li Jianwei has betrayed us! We are hunting him down! Don't follow him..."
"Shut up! Where is Li Jianwei's mother?" Que Dongjin asked.
"His mother? His..." Someone said as he suddenly blocked Que Dongjin's gun, pushed him hard, and tried to run away.
Que Dongjin took advantage of the situation and hit him on the temple with the butt of the gun, and he fell to the ground.
"Tell me! Where is Li Jianwei's mother?" Que Dongjin pointed at the person who was still conscious.
"His mother has nothing to do with me! It was him, he, he beat her to death..." the man said tremblingly.
Que Dongjin shot him again and knocked him unconscious.
When Que Dongjin heard that Li Jianwei's mother had been beaten to death, he became anxious and ran in. He saw Li Jianwei's mother lying on the bed with the blood on her head dried.
Que Dongjin deduced that these two people had been waiting here for some time. Li Jianwei's mother must have been afraid that being a hostage would implicate him, so she resisted, angering the two people guarding the place.
Que Dongjin had just entered Li Jianwei's house when three people suddenly appeared outside and walked towards Li Jianwei's house.
