Chapter 464 There is really no treasure
Little Bee and Little Wolf opened a grocery store in the city and began to collect intelligence on the enemy. Que Dongjin was a little worried. He was not worried that they would betray their people, but that they had no experience. The two of them grew up in a bandit's den and were good at fighting and killing, but they had no training as agents.
Que Dongjin told Wang Xueliu about his concerns. Wang Xueliu thought about it and realized that it was true. She looked at Que Dongjin and didn't know what to do to help the little bee and the little wolf complete the task successfully.
"I want to go into the city and take a look." Que Dongjin said.
"I'll go with you."
"No need, I'll go alone, it's more convenient. Maybe I will stay in the city for a day or two. You stay here with them, and don't let anyone go down the mountain to the city, understand?" Que Dongjin said.
"Why don't you bring someone with you?" Wang Xueliu looked at Que Dongjin, feeling a little worried.
"Didn't I tell you that it's inconvenient to bring people with you? Are you still not confident in me? Nothing will happen to me if I go alone." Que Dongjin said.
"Okay then, be careful." Wang Xueliu said.
"Thank you for your concern." Que Dongjin said as he prepared to leave.
Que Dong entered the city and came to the grocery store. Little Bee and Little Wolf were just taking care of the business. When Little Bee saw Que Dong coming in, he knew he must have something to do, so he asked Little Wolf to take care of the business and went with Que Dong to the bedroom inside.
The little bee looked at Que Dongjin and asked, "Dongjin, do you have any missions?"
"There's not much mission, but I'm a little worried, so I came to take a look. How's the situation in the city these two days?" Que Dongjin asked the little bee.
"There's nothing special going on."
"I noticed that the door of the neighbor on the left is still closed. Do you know why that family always keeps the door closed? I told you to be familiar with the surrounding situation and pay attention to details. Have you paid attention to these? This is not as bad as fighting openly, but it is more dangerous than fighting." Que Dongjin looked at the little bee and said with concern.
"I know. I've figured out why they close the door during the day. They are a couple, and their door was also closed when we moved in. Later, I found out that they are a disabled couple," said Little Bee.
"A disabled couple? There's no need to close the door then!" Que Dongjin was puzzled.
"It's like this. This couple is renting a house. They are fleeing from war. On the way, the man's leg was blown off and the woman's hand was blown off. The man's legs are injured and he can't walk now. He lies in bed all day. The woman has only one arm. In order to make a living, she often goes out early and comes back late to set up a stall and work as a shoe shiner. This couple is very touching. I also learned about it after I made friends with them." Little Bee said, looking at Que Dongjin with a touching expression on his face.
"Oh, is that so? Tell me about it, I want to know their touching stories." Que Dongjin said.
"One evening, as I was packing up my goods and preparing to close the store, I saw a woman in her thirties with only one arm walking towards our grocery store. I noticed that one of her sleeves was fluttering, and she was holding a small wooden box in the other hand, with a small folding stool tucked under her arm. She had a smile on her face. When I got closer, I realized she was someone else. She was actually humming a song. However, the song wasn't very pleasant." Little Bee said, looking at Que Dongjin, "You're also surprised by her expression, right?"
"Yes! Why is she in such a good mood?" Que Dongjin asked.
"Later, I paid more attention to her. As a result, for several evenings in a row, I could hear her unpleasant singing voice every time I saw her. I felt even more strange, so I found an excuse to get closer to her. Then I learned that her man loved to hear her singing home. She told me that her husband had been lying in bed because his leg was injured by the Japanese bombing, and she worked from dawn to dusk to help her man stand up. Because she also lost an arm, it became more difficult for her to make money. However, in order to give her man hope and also hope for herself, she would adjust her mood, smile, and sing when she was about to get home from work every day, no matter how much she earned. She wanted her man to hear her singing, to let him know that she was back safely. Let him know that she was full of hope for life. She firmly believed that the Japanese devils would one day get out of China, and then their lives would get better." The little bee said, looking at Que Dongjin and smiling, "I admire this woman very much, even though she can't fight the Japanese devils."
"Yes, she is indeed worthy of admiration. She is an ordinary Chinese woman, but her heart is full of sunshine and hope. That's right, the Japanese devils will get out of China one day," said Que Dongjin.
"Because this woman always thinks about her man, that man always has the woman's singing as his companion, and his mood becomes cheerful. Now, the man can already walk . The woman believes that it won't be long before the man can also earn money. By then, the Japanese devils will be driven out of China. Although she has only one arm, she will be happier knowing how to make a fire." The little bee said, thinking about her man who has passed away, and couldn't help sighing, "If only Ou Laosan were alive and could see with me that the Japanese devils were driven out, how great it would be!"
"Little Bee, don't think about those unpleasant things. The living people should live well. Only if we live well can we make the Japanese devils live a miserable life." Que Dongjin said, and involuntarily held Little Bee's hand.
The little bee looked at Que Dongjin and smiled sheepishly: "Dongjin, I will, don't worry."
Seeing Little Bee's face flushed slightly, Que Dongjin let go of her hand, stood up and said, "Little Bee, I'm not going back to the mountains today. I'll stay here for one night."
"You're not going back? Are you staying here overnight?" Little Bee seemed a little excited. She didn't know why she was so excited. Could it be that she had subconscious feelings for Que Dongjin? Was it just because she and Ou Laosan were already married? Now that Ou Laosan had sacrificed himself, these feelings emerged? No, no, Que Dongjin was so young and so outstanding. What was she? How could she have such thoughts?
"Yes, I'm not going back. I have something to do, and then come here for dinner, okay?" Que Dongjin looked at Ou Lao San and found her rosy face very cute.
"Okay, okay, you go and do your thing. I'll go buy some vegetables." said the little bee.
“No need to make special dishes.”
"No, that won't do. Now that you're here, how can you not make some dishes? Try my cooking and I guarantee you'll be satisfied." The little bee smiled happily.
"Okay, I'll try your cooking. It will definitely suit my taste." Que Dongjin said as he walked out the door, said goodbye to Little Wolf, and left the grocery store.
Quedong got into the car and walked towards the alley on the left. She asked Little Bee about the one-armed woman next door who was setting up a stall to shine shoes in the open space at the corner of the alley on the left. He wanted to go and see the woman.
Que Dongjin arrived at the corner of the open space and saw the one-armed woman. She was sitting on a small stool, looking around at passers-by, as if searching for someone who could bring her business. Que Dongjin didn't go up to greet her. He pretended to be casual and looked at another newsstand in the open space. Then he sat down and read a newspaper.
Que Dongjin seemed like a person who read the newspaper very seriously. He seemed to have finished reading the newspaper he was selling, which took him more than an hour. He knew that it would soon be dark, so he stood up, picked up the newspaper, and walked towards the grocery store. He was going to have dinner, and he didn't know what delicious food the little bees had made.
Que Dongjin had just returned to the grocery store when he heard singing. He listened carefully and felt that the singing was really not very nice.
"The neighbor is back." said the little wolf.
"How do you know it's the neighbor who's back? Didn't you look outside?" Que Dongjin asked.
"This female neighbor always comes back singing. She is very optimistic and I admire her very much," said Little Wolf.
"She is a disabled person. What do you admire about her?" Que Dongjin asked the one-armed woman.
"I admire her optimism. Even in this condition, she still sings and comforts her man, giving him confidence in life. It's really rare." Xiaolang said.
Que Dongjin looked at Little Wolf and said with a smile, "It's indeed rare. Little Wolf, people should have confidence and hope in life, right?"
"Yes, Sister Bee said so too." Little Wolf said as he looked inside. He knew that the little bee was cooking inside.
"You also admire the little bee, right?" Que Dongjin said with a smile.
"Yes, I admire the little bee more. She is very capable and optimistic." said the little wolf.
"Little Wolf, what are you talking to Dongjin about? Get ready to drink." The little bee said inside.
"Okay, got it. I'll close the door." The little wolf said as he started to lock the door. In the end, only a piece of the door panel was left, and the original big door became a small door.
Little Wolf closed the door and went inside with Que Dongjin. Que Dongjin had already smelled the aroma. He smiled and said, "Little Bee, what delicious food have you made for me? It smells so good. Is it the sizzling braised beef?"
"You have a very sharp nose. There really is a sizzling braised beef dish. Dongjin, you have to accompany me to have a few drinks tonight!" said the little bee.
"Okay!" Que Dongjin said with a smile.
Little Wolf brought the wine and filled three glasses. He smiled and said, "Captain Que, Little Bee saw you coming and made such a delicious meal, including three dishes and a soup! Usually, she is very stingy."
"What are you picking at? Didn't I let you eat enough?" the little bee said with a smile.
"The funding is a bit tight, but we can't be too frugal with Little Bees. Don't worry, I will find a way to solve the funding problem." Que Dongjin said with a smile.
"If you really have no funds, will you use the treasure?" The little bee looked at Que Dongjin and smiled.
"What treasure?" Que Dongjin took a sip of wine and looked at the little bee .
"It is said that you have a treasure map. It can't be true that you don't have any treasure!" The little bee still smiled.
"Legends are just legends. Where is the treasure? Didn't we let them see it? The legendary treasure is nothing but the beautiful scenery inside and outside the cave." Que Dongjin said with a smile.
