Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

With Zhang Zizai's cover, the four of them quickly left the county town.

Under the watchful eyes of the Japanese, Zhang Zizai did not dare to let them ride out of the city on horseback. He had no choice but to find a donkey cart, which contained the luggage and Li Mei and her daughter.

Lin Qiang blew a whistle, and two war horses galloped out of the woods.

Also coming out was the fully armed Duan Peng.

"Are they?"

Lin Qiang tapped the ground lightly, and sat on the saddle steadily as if flying. He said, "We'll talk about it when we get back. You lead the team to cover the rear."

"Yes!"

The donkey is definitely not as fast as the horse, so it went slowly all the way back. The monk has been talking non-stop since he got on the horse.

Lin Qiang was not worried that the things he packed would be eaten by the monks before reaching the base, because the monks packed enough.

What I’m worried about is what if the monks’ stomachs burst from eating so much?

"Monk, can you please eat less?"

Lin Qiang couldn't help himself and said, "Follow me, what if I miss a meal for you?"

However, the only responses he got were the monk's "hmmmm" sounds and the sound of swallowing food.

Forget it, let him be!

In places that have not experienced war, the scenery is actually very beautiful. Zhao He was worried that his wife and daughter would be harmed by the Japanese, so he almost never let them leave the house.

Not to mention sitting on a donkey cart and enjoying the scenery along the way, just like now.

To Zhao Yulin, everything she saw was fresh, a scene she hadn't seen in ages.

At this moment, I behave like a child who is curious about everything.

With a special forces team covering their retreat, there was no news of danger, so Lin Qiang simply slowed down to allow the mother and daughter to enjoy the view.

In fact, the scenery in the base is better, but Lin Qiang believes that the most beautiful scenery is often some inconspicuous places along the way.

The monk was only concerned with eating and drinking, so Lin Qiang took the initiative to talk to the mother and daughter: "Five kilometers ahead is Xiaowangzhuang, but it's already in ruins. Go further and you'll reach the base area."

"The conditions in the base area are not as good as those in the county town, and may even be beyond your imagination. Therefore, you'd better be prepared to endure hardships."

Not to mention the living conditions, even eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are a test for both mother and daughter.

What Lin Qiang didn't expect was that before Li Mei even opened her mouth to speak, Zhao Yuling spoke first: "Don't underestimate me. My mother and I are not just pretty faces!"

"Ling'er, how do you talk to Platoon Leader Lin?"

Lin Qiang smiled and waved his hands, saying, "I don't look down on you, and I won't look down on anyone."

……

Nothing happened along the way, but after arriving at the base, new problems arose.

There were quite a few people living in the base area, and the wooden houses built earlier were all full of people. Lin Qiang really didn't know where to arrange Li Mei and her daughter.

Looking at the two women looking around, Lin Qiang sighed and said to the monk, "Find a few people to vacate my room and put the things in your room for the time being."

"Yes!"

The monk trotted over and handed the things he brought back to Aunt Fat, then took a few people to clean up Lin Qiang's house.

The people all noticed that Lin Qiang brought back two women, and they were two ugly women, and they couldn't help but feel sorry for Lin Qiang.

Only Aunt Fat was different. She smiled at the three of them.

Several aunts were sitting together sewing shoe soles. When they saw Aunt Fatty's smile, they asked, "Aunt Fatty, what are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at Xiaolin. He went out and brought back a wife for himself."

These words were like a stone thrown into a pond, immediately sparking discussion among the other aunts.

"No way, look at those two ugly ones. Xiao Lin is so handsome, how could he fall for them?"

"That's right, I think you're dazzled, Aunt Fatty!"

Several people refuted each other one by one, but Auntie Pang was not anxious and said with a gentle smile: "I see, you are dazzled!"

Pointing at Li Mei and her daughter, he said, "If you don't believe me, just take a good look at their hands. You can tell they come from wealthy families. Their skin is so delicate and tender that it breaks if you pinch it."

"Look at the shoes they wear and the earrings they wear. Which one of them can't be afforded by wealthy families?"

One of the aunts retorted: "What's wrong with being from a wealthy family? She's so ugly. If I were Xiaolin, I would definitely not like her."

Aunt Pang smiled and said nothing. She stopped arguing about the matter and concentrated on working on the soles of the shoes in her hands.

There weren't many things in Lin Qiang's room, so he cleaned it up in no time.

After receiving the news from the monk, Lin Qiang took the mother and daughter to the house.

outside the house.

Lin Qiang looked at the last table that was moved out and said to Li Mei, "This room is actually quite spacious. It's just that the table is in the way. You guys will live here from now on."

Then he pointed in the direction of the kitchen and said, "That's the kitchen. We serve meals at 7:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., and 7:00 p.m. every day. If you don't want to, you can cook for yourself. The kitchen is always available."

"Wash your clothes and take a shower. I'll have Auntie Pang show you around. There's a hospital in the back, and next to it is the arsenal. Apart from that, you can move around the base as you please."

"There's nothing else to worry about. If you need anything in your life, go to the kitchen and find squad leader Zhao Dezhu. He will help you solve it."

"The team will return to the county town every two weeks. If you need to buy anything or send any mail, please let me know in advance."

The luggage of Li Mei and her daughter had already been moved in by the monks, and the room had been vacated. The rest was left to them to deal with.

In fact, Lin Qiang wanted to stay and see if there was anything he could do to help. After all, Zhao He risked his life to stay in the county just to obtain more important information.

He also promised to take care of his wife and daughter. Lin Qiang believed that it was his duty to do what he could.

But then he thought it would not be convenient for a grown man like him to stay behind, so he simply explained everything and went straight to find Aunt Fat.

Aunt Pang and the others were discussing what happened before, and Lin Qiang happened to overhear them.

"Cough cough!"

He coughed deliberately, trying to interrupt a few people.

But I never thought...

"Xiao Lin, you're here just in time. Tell your aunt quickly, which of those two is your daughter-in-law?"

Lin Qiang was embarrassed and hurriedly explained: "No, don't misunderstand me!"

"Okay, Xiaolin, I didn't see that. Tell your aunt, do you want to take both of them?"

"But these two are too ugly. Xiaolin, if you want to get married, I have a relative's daughter I can introduce to you. She's about your age."

"Aunt Zhang, how come I didn't know you had a relative?"

"She's the daughter of my distant cousin's cousin, so why isn't she a relative of mine?"

Seeing that the aunts were so worried about their lifelong events, Lin Qiang didn't dare to disappoint their kindness and quickly explained, "Aunts, you really misunderstood. The people I brought back this time are the wife and daughter of a comrade from the county town. Our base is safe, so I brought them here to settle down."

After saying that, regardless of whether they understood or not, he quickly said to Auntie Fatty, "Auntie Fatty, when you're done with your work, please go and take the mother and daughter to get acquainted with each other."

"By the way, they live with me."

Aunt Zhang got anxious when she heard this. She stood up and said, "Xiao Lin, they are too ugly. Listen to me, my relative's daughter is very pretty!"

"Don't forget, Auntie Fatty!"

After saying that, Lin Qiang fled from this place of trouble.

If we had waited one more second, this marriage would have been possible.
