War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 108: Altai is extremely smart (thanks to the reward from 'book friends'!)

On the eve of nightfall, a horse-drawn carriage wobbled along the bumpy road and arrived at the Oroqen hunting ground.

When the carriage stopped, the driver quickly jumped out and put the stool under the carriage. At this time, an old man in his seventies slowly walked out of the carriage holding a cane.

"Where's the benefactor?"

After he got off the carriage, he looked around. Altai stuck his head out and jumped down from the carriage: "Chief, look, the benefactor is in our hunting ground."

Altai returned to Tailai. If he hadn't returned to Tailai, the last Baturu of the late Qing Dynasty would not have come to the hunting ground at this age.

Baturu, whose eyesight was already blurry, looked intently into the jungle. Everything in his sight seemed blurry through mist. He was really old, and it was getting dark, so he could not find anyone.

"Old Patriarch, are you feeling well?"

When a distant voice came, the old patriarch followed the sound and saw a moving black shadow slowly emerging in the woods. Then he walked forward with his crutches.

"But my benefactor?"

"Old Patriarch, it's all in the past, why are you still talking about it?"

"make life difficult for."

The old man stood quite far away and lifted his robe, then knelt down directly: "Bai Yier of the Oroqen ethnic group, kowtows to the benefactor on behalf of the three tribes of Suo Lun."

It was as if he was afraid that Xu Chaoyang would help him up, so he knelt down at a distance, and his sincerity was overwhelming.

Xu Chaoyang came over at a trot. He had no intention of running away, but when the old man knelt down, he had no choice but to run.

After running over, he hurried to help: "Old Patriarch, what are you talking about?"

"You saved the lives of my three clansmen, shouldn't I show you a big gift? I feel that even if my benefactor wants to chop off my head today, that is a request that I should accept."

Xu Chaoyang quickly glanced at Altai and asked, "What did you say to the old patriarch?"

Altai: "I told you that you had joined a gang and are now a bandit. You were afraid of being caught by the police, so you didn't dare to enter the city..."

At that moment, Xu Chaoyang felt very uncomfortable. The old clan leader didn't care about his identity or why he came. He didn't hide or avoid him. He came towards him enthusiastically and bowed his head to the ground.

Just for this kindness and righteousness, Xu Chaoyang felt it was worth it.

"Old Patriarch, we just want to buy some food..."

Altai interrupted immediately and said without any respect, "Yes, Brother Chaoyang has some stolen goods that he wants to exchange for food. I was in a hurry and forgot to tell you..."

"Altai!"

Old Bai Yier turned around and used his cane to directly hit the kid's leg bone, with a "bang" sound: "A benefactor is a benefactor. Don't say he has become a barbarian. Even if he is on the guillotine, he is still a benefactor."

"Do you care whether the things in someone's hand are stolen goods?"

"He just robbed everyone in the world of their money. When he needs some food, can we still accept their silver dollars?"

Yang Jingyu was shocked when he heard this!

In a word, he had the best of both worlds. He didn't have to charge any money, and there was no risk of buying dirty things. He also repaid the favor by using the food. The most important thing was that the other person spoke nicely.

He had always thought that Baturu was just a name for bravery, but he didn't expect that there was such a smart guy among them.

"How much do you want?" The old man looked over with an apologetic smile on his face. Altai, the silly boy, was holding his facial bone and jumping on the spot in pain, hissing and laughing endlessly.

What else can Xu Chaoyang say?
"In addition to food, we also want some cloth to make some summer clothes. We plan to..."

No one let Xu Chaoyang continue: "Benefactor, just tell me how many people you need to pay for."

Bai Yier is very kind and looks harmless. Who would have thought what kind of person he was in the past?

"Prepare for forty people."

Bai Yier thought for a moment: "My benefactor, I need some time."

Altai just put his foot down and said, "Yes, Brother Chaoyang, the Japanese are in the city now. Even if we have food at home, we dare not ship it out in large quantities. You don't know how closely the Japanese have been watching our family these days..."

"what happened?"

Old Bai Yier shook his head helplessly, let out a long sigh and said, "Don't mention it. After hiding for so many years, my Oroqen people still couldn't escape this disaster!"

With just one word, he told the whole story about the imperial edict of Puyi, the emperor of Manchukuo, and the fact that the person who delivered the edict was Japanese.

This incident perfectly matched what Xu Chaoyang knew.

General Wang failed to kidnap Puyi and jumped out of the car to escape. After a whole day of fierce fighting with the Japanese in the mountains, they went north to avoid the encirclement. At this time, Puyi trusted no one and insisted on transferring the three most loyal Sauron tribes to Xinjing to protect him. When the Japanese saw such a fierce fighting force entering Xinjing, they thought it was like a turtle in a jar and a tiger in a cage, so how could they not deal with it quickly?

The situation in Northeast China today is no longer something that the three Sauron tribes can reverse. Even if Puyi could gather the combat power of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, he couldn't come up with so many weapons to equip the army, right?

So the Japanese worked as fast as they could to get it done, which led to the scene that Xu Chaoyang saw.

"Old patriarch..."

Xu Chaoyang had just said three words when Bai Yier held his hand: "Don't bother."

"Last time, you risked your career to save the lives of our entire family. We haven't repaid you yet. If we trouble you again this time... benefactor, what are we going to do in the future?"

Xu Chaoyang was so stunned that he couldn't speak at all.

"My benefactor, please give me some time. We will meet here the day after tomorrow morning. If we don't see you, we will wait until dark. If you are really delayed, I will leave the things here and let Altai and the other kids take care of them. You can come and pick them up the day after tomorrow morning."

"These guys are young, it's okay for them to stay in the wilderness for a night, is that okay?" Bai Yier didn't ask who Xu Chaoyang was or what the things were used for. He even stopped him from making up a lie to tell others where he was going because he felt guilty. The meaning was very clear: repaying a favor is repaying a favor, and he didn't ask for anything else.

As for you guys... the Oroqen people will give you whatever you want, as long as they have it, just don't make requests that shouldn't be made.

"Then... old patriarch, take care of yourself." Xu Chaoyang was shielded from the wind and rain and could only say this.

"When the world is at peace, if I am still alive, my benefactor, we can meet again and talk about everything that happened over the years, oh."

Old Bai Yier held Xu Chaoyang's hand tightly, tears flashing in his eyes. Finally, he turned around quickly and stepped on the horse stool to get into the car.

"Brother Chaoyang." Altai smiled at Xu Chaoyang, his smile full of the joy that young men have when they see their relatives and friends.

"Go quickly. We can talk the day after tomorrow. Send it back to the old patriarch first."

Xu Chaoyang almost drove Altai into the car.

The old patriarch's meaning is very clear. He just said that he doesn't know your identities and it's not good to get too close. So what else do you have to say?

drive.

The driver was the last one to get on the carriage, and when he drove away, it was already completely dark.

At that moment, the old patriarch was sitting in the car, shaking his body, and Altai was sitting next to the patriarch with his head down and not saying a word.

"You, you!"

The carriage went quite far away. Bai Yier stretched out his index finger and poked Altai's head hard, then pushed him hard, shaking his huge body.

Altai was a complete idiot. He swayed his body, raised his head and asked, "What's wrong with me?"

"blindness!"

"Heart-blind!"

"Two hundred and five!"

Altai was very dissatisfied: "Chief..."

"Then Xu Chaoyang is a bandit?" Bai Yier almost spat on his face: "Have you ever seen a bandit who came to ask for a favor and not only didn't want money but only wanted food, and even planned to give you money, as if neither of us owed the other anything?"

"Brother Chaoyang was always good to us..."

"The Fengtian Army was in a bad position at that time!"

Altai was stunned for a moment.

Old Bai Yier thought he understood, and continued: "Now do you know whether his surname is Guo or Hong?"

"If you get involved with these two surnames, even if it's just a little bit of Xing'er and Beng'er, there will be countless troubles!"

"Now, I wish Xu Chaoyang was really a bandit who had joined a gang, but look at his straight back. Does he look like a gangster who is not popular with others?"

Altai seemed to have just realized: "What is a positive difference?"

Cough...cough!

Cough, cough, cough.

Old Bai Yier almost choked to death on his spit.

Now he just hated himself for being so blind that he fell for a guy like Altai... By the way, when he first fell in love with this guy, he thought he was very honest and he thought it would be a good thing to give his granddaughter to him.

Right now, this guy is only growing muscles and not brains at all.

"Ahem... tomorrow... ahem, you bring the food... ugh... here."

"Isn't it the day after tomorrow?"

"I've made you so angry and confused."

"If the Japanese ask, what will you say?"

Bai Yier wanted to nail Altai to the carriage shed with his eyes: "Don't tell me you plan to load the grain into sacks and transport it out."

"Then how do I transport it?"

Altai's eyes were wide open and his face was dull.

"You can't lead dozens of tribesmen out, bring some food for each person and say you are going out hunting? The Oroqen people are born to support their families by hunting. Have you forgotten the skills of our ancestors?"

"also."

He seemed to be dissatisfied with old Baier's plan and replied "OK".

Cough... cough... cough...

Old Bai Yier felt like his chest exploded with that coughing fit.
