Traveling through 1942 with space

After leaving the space and tying himself to a big tree on the edge of the cliff, Hou Xiaoge quietly began to explore the bandit’s stronghold.

"Fortunately, there is no dog in this bandit's den, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with it. It seems I have to prepare some poison later." Hou Xiaoge quietly explored the surroundings of the bandit camp, and only went in with peace of mind after finding no dog.

After investigating the layout of the bandit's den, Hou Xiaoge counted them and found that there were less than eighty bandits left in the den. No wonder they didn't dare to go down the mountain to take revenge last night.

Hou Xiaoge checked each cave one by one, and took away the bandits' weapons through the wide cracks in the doors.

After visiting seven or eight caves, Hou Xiaoge collected a total of nine muskets, thirty-five swords, pig-killing knives and other weapons.

I don't want the javelin or bow and arrow, they are too rubbish.

In a smaller cave, Hou Xiaoge also saw the bandit leader who had escaped last night. He was now sleeping naked in the arms of a naked young woman.

"Damn it, you've been living too comfortably. Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson." Hou Xiaoge cursed inwardly, took the bandit's pistol and left quickly.

When we arrived near another cave, we saw a fair-faced man in his forties sleeping inside. He looked like an old scholar and should be the second in command that the bandits had called last night.

But this guy was obviously not a good person, as he was holding a young woman who was much younger than him in his arms.

"This young woman's granary is so big, it's a bargain for this bastard." Hou Xiaoge muttered.

That being said, business was more important, so Hou Xiaoge began to explore the bandit leader’s cave.

I didn't expect that the bandit leader was so stupid that he actually put the gun under the pillow. Now there was really no way to take it away. There were quite a few dollars and gold and silver, but they were locked in a wooden box at the head of the kang, and there was nothing I could do.

In line with the principle that a thief has no time to spare, Hou Xiaoge took all of this guy's clothes, and also took the pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, which were all good stuff.

After confiscating most of the bandits' weapons, this group of bandits will not dare to be too arrogant when committing crimes in the future, and the harm to ordinary people will be much less.

Otherwise, if you rob the bandits' lair today, these bandits will have nothing to eat tomorrow and will rob even more fiercely.

This means that Hou Xiaoge has harmed the people! As a five-good youth growing up in the new society, Hou Xiaoge would never do anything that would harm ordinary people.

Next, Hou Xiaoge began to look for the bandits’ warehouse. Generally, public property and supplies of an organization would be stored in warehouses, not in personal rooms. He followed the cave of the second-in-command of the bandits and found the second cave, which was then discovered by Hou Xiaoge.

This cave has no windows and only one door with an iron lock on it, so it is definitely not suitable for living.

"Hey! The door is locked, so there must be good stuff inside. Let's take a look." Hou Xiaoge suddenly became alert and probed his mental power into the crack of the door. He saw that it was filled with grain bags and other supplies.

"These bandits are such beasts! I don't know how many civilians they have robbed. They rob everywhere even though there are so many supplies." Hou Xiaoge looked at the sacks stacked up in the warehouse and estimated that there were at least 30,000 to 40,000 kilograms of grain.

Seeing that there were more supplies in a warehouse than in his own, Hou Xiaoge became envious. He took out a piece of wire and started to pry the lock.

As for why not just using mental power to collect it, there is naturally no other way.

Although the space can collect things through the air, the mental contact surface needs to be at least five centimeters. For bulk materials like warehouses, the contact area must be more than one meter. The door gap is not wide enough, so it is naturally impossible to collect it, so we have to pry the lock to get in.

Fortunately, Hou Xiaoge has recently figured out a new way to use mental power, which is to assist in unlocking locks.

Hou Xiaoge used his mental power to probe into the lock, and the position of the teeth inside the lock was clearly visible. He then took out a wire and probed it in. Just by flipping it a few times, the big iron lock was easily opened, which was more effective than a key.

Hou Xiaoge gently pushed open the door of the warehouse and checked the surroundings again just in case, but found no mechanisms or traps.

"Hehe! What did I say? We don't have guns or cannons, but the enemy makes them for us. Now we have both guns and food in one wave." Hou Xiaoge smiled proudly, and the materials in the warehouse that were shrouded by his mental power were instantly collected into the space.

"Ouch!"

There were too many supplies collected at once, and Hou Xiaoge felt a buzzing sound in his head, as if he had hit a wall. He quickly took out a bowl of spiritual spring water and drank it.

After sitting for a few minutes, the pain in my head gradually disappeared.

After collecting the supplies, Hou Xiaoge looked at the bare warehouse again, and seeing that there was nothing left, he turned around and left.

The kitchen was next to the warehouse, so Hou Xiaoge didn't hesitate to take the two iron pots off the stove and put them in the warehouse.

Several large water jars, flour jars, and large porcelain basins for kneading dough were not spared.

"receive!"

All the ropes were cut off for the smoked bacon, garlic and chili peppers hanging on the beams.

"receive!"

There are vegetables, a large chopping board and seasonings in the corner.

"receive!"

……

After a final look around, only the bandits' bowls and chopsticks were left, and Hou Xiaoge didn't want them anymore.

After collecting all of these, the only thing left was the livestock shed, which was in the bandit’s backyard camp, not far from the edge of the cliff.

Hou Xiaoge counted the large animals from a distance and found that there were three donkeys, a mule, two horses and an old cow.

In order to prevent the donkey from braying, Hou Xiaoge directly used fresh grass to clear the way when untying the reins.

The fresh grass watered by the spiritual spring water was powerless for the livestock. The little donkeys just focused on eating, completely ignoring everything else.

Hou Xiaoge first untied the reins of all the animals, and then brought all the large animals in together.

After collecting the animals, he drank a bowl of spiritual spring water to calm his spirit. Finally, he even took away the stone trough, the millstone, the horse-drawn carriage, and the ox-drawn cart in the yard.

After collecting the large livestock, Hou Xiaoge saw a cave nearby and began to explore it with his mental power.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise. Hou Xiaoge also found a pig in the livestock cave, which was the existence he had been thinking about all the time.

However, what made Hou Xiaoge feel uncomfortable was that there was a wooden door deep in the cave, with more than a dozen people locked inside.

These people were dressed in rags, even worse than refugees. Hou Xiaoge guessed that they were captured by bandits.

Ignoring these people for now, Hou Xiaoge first took away all the pigs, sheep and some poultry raised in the cave.

After collecting all the livestock, Hou Xiaoge entered the space, disguised himself, put a few stones in his mouth, and left the space with a few torches.

"Hehehe! You bandits have always been into killing people and setting fires for golden belts, but today I'm going to turn against you." Hou Xiaoge picked up the torch and threw it directly onto the firewood pile in the bandits' kitchen and the hay in the livestock shed.

After throwing the torch, Hou Xiaoge ran away.

Driven by his conscience, Hou Xiaoge covered his face and came to the livestock cave where people were imprisoned. He used his mental power to open the lock and threw a few rolls of hemp rope collected from the bandits' warehouse at the door.

"Listen up, people inside. Someone has attacked the bandit stronghold. Here is the rope. You can go down the cliff at the back. Whether you live or die is up to you." Hou Xiaoge said in a hoarse voice with a stone in his mouth. He threw down a dozen pancakes and left in a hurry.

After waiting for Xiaoge to leave for a while, the people who were captured by the bandits in the cave carefully pushed open the wooden door, ignored the hemp rope thrown at the door, and picked up the sesame cakes and ate them like crazy.

"Uncle Akita, Brother Gouwa, maybe what the people outside say is true. Let's go and take a look. If someone really breaks into the bandit's lair, we'll run away." A skinny young man said eagerly, biting a sesame cake in his mouth.

"Scholar, the cliff behind is dozens of meters high. If you fall down, you will be killed. It's better not to take the risk."

"Yeah! There's no food to survive outside anyway, at least I can eat some pig food in the bandit's den."

"Yeah! You're just a kid, you're just skin and bones and you'll fall apart if you fall down."

.........

Most people in the cave were still savoring the aroma of the sesame cakes and obviously didn't want to escape.

The young man was kidnapped and taken to the mountain halfway. He was always worried about his mother and sister at home, so naturally he was unwilling to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Calling a few men who also didn't want to accept their fate, they secretly came to the entrance of the cave.

When he saw shouting and a big fire in the bandits' compound, his eyes lit up and he ran towards the cliff.

When they ran to the cliff, Hou Xiaoge had already left, leaving only a lonely hemp rope tied to the tree.

"Brother Liu, Brother Wang, I'll go first. You guys be careful too." The young man took a quick step, without wrapping the cloth around his hands, he grabbed the rope and slid down.
