After living a new life for my neighbor's grandmother, I traveled through the book again

After living in the new base for a month, Tong Jia finally received a new task assigned to her by the organization.

The new task was to take his younger brother Tao Junle to the Soviet area, which is Gannan Province, within three months.

In fact, this is not a task given to Tong Jia, but a test for her.

The journey from Tianjin to southern Jiangxi is not exactly 18,000 miles, but it is at least 2,000 to 3,000 kilometers.

In today's world where there are no highways, direct trains, high-speed trains, and no conditions for flying, it goes without saying that it is very difficult for a young girl to travel such a long distance with a child of seven or eight years old.

Tong Jia did not refuse and took on the task directly.

Since the organization wanted to test her, she seemed to have no choice but to accept it.

Seeing that Tong Jia accepted it calmly, Yuan Shengnan, who conveyed the order, felt a little embarrassed.

She said: "From Tianjin to southern Jiangxi, there are not many difficulties along the way, but there are also some..."

"When there's trouble, you have to get through it. When there's suffering, you have to endure it. Lele and I have been through a lot since we left our hometown. I just dress myself up to look old and ugly, and even those looking for labor won't even look at me.

As for Lele, some human traffickers look down on him because he can't speak.

If there really is such a ruthless person, I won't just sit there and wait for death. I will definitely take extraordinary measures to protect myself." Tong Jia didn't follow Yuan Shengnan's words and play the victim. Instead, she expressed her determination.

During the month Tong Jia lived in the mountains, in addition to making insoles, stitching guns and ammunition, and teaching Tao Junle to paint, he also learned a lot of skills from the brothers in the mountains.

She has learned simple and effective self-defense techniques, hunting, long-range aiming and shooting with pistols and rifles, the use of grenades, and even simple bomb disposal.

While Tong Jia was studying, Tao Junle didn't fall behind either.

After learning that Tao Junle's voice was made hoarse by a relative, the brothers in the mountains felt very sympathetic towards him. Since he wanted to learn from them, they went along with him.

His aiming and shooting skills may not be as good as Tong Jia’s due to his height, but his accuracy with slingshot and grenade throwing is pretty good.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shengnan was silent for a long time.

Finally, when Tong Jia packed her luggage and was ready to set off with Tao Junle, he gave Tong Jia a cloth bag.

Inside the bag were two grenades, a full-sized pistol, and twenty rounds of ammunition.

In addition, she also gave Tong Jia a small yellow croaker.

She said, “I have been waiting for you to come and apply for funding from me these past few days, but you never opened your mouth.

I don’t know if you are really patient or if you are just stupid.

This small yellow croaker was also found by you in the cave, so it is just right to give it to you as funding now.

As for this other small package... I hope you won't need it. When the time comes, take it to the Soviet area and hand it over to the leaders there.

Of course, if it really comes into use, I hope both you and your brother will be safe."

Tong Jia nodded, handed the small yellow croaker to Tao Junle, and stuffed the small cloth bag containing the weapons into the bag he was carrying.

Seeing the two sisters clearly divided their work, Yuan Shengnan smiled and asked, "I'm actually quite curious. If I didn't proactively send you funding, how would you have planned to get to the Soviet area? You can't just beg for food, right?"

Tong Jia also laughed and said, "I mainly didn't know that I could apply for activity funds in addition to carrying out the mission.

I thought that since there should be funding, you guys would give it to me on your own initiative. Since you didn't mention it, there's no point in me applying for it.

When Pei Yingxue lived in my dormitory, she gave me money and asked me to buy her food and drinks.

How much could she possibly eat and drink by herself? I still have quite a bit left, and I wanted to give it back to her, but she left without saying goodbye, and I don't know how to repay her.

My original thought was to use this money for emergencies.

When we go down the mountain later, we will go hunting in the mountains, and then take the prey to Xianghe to exchange for some money and meat patties.

Anyway, for three months, we both tried our best to walk on the mountain paths and earn money by hunting.

After passing Shandong Province, it is the south. The weather there is warm, so if you really have no choice, you can just pawn your cotton coat.

Besides, the south is like spring all year round. Besides prey, there should be plants in the mountains. If I’m lucky enough to find some rare herbs and sell them at a good price in a pharmacy, I won’t have to worry about anything later, right… Haha…”

As she spoke, Tong Jia started laughing.

She really thought so, after all, that's what she had seen in many novels before, but her thoughts were ruthlessly shattered by Tao Junle.

Tao Junle believes that: [Although there are few people in the mountains, it is not completely deserted.

Even if there are people like Yuan Shengnan in the mountains who have to hide their whereabouts for their ideals, they are a minority after all.

There are still more bandits. Some of them have a bottom line and will not attack the elderly, the weak, women and children. They only rob money and do not kill people.

But most of the bandits have no bottom line.

Rather than living in the mountains and worrying about the possibility of danger every day, it is better to enjoy good food, drink and have fun in the city.

Tong Jia thought so too, because they had enough money.

Although when they were in Tianjin, they had to pretend to be poor in front of others due to the reasons they made up about their background.

But after leaving Tianjin, I no longer have such concerns.

So, now that she had said everything that had been in her mind, she found her previous thoughts more and more ridiculous.

Tong Jia smiled, and Yuan Shengnan also smiled.

She said, "You didn't wake up last night, did you? And there are rare medicinal herbs.

If those rare medicinal herbs were really that easy to find, wouldn't the locals go looking for them? How could it be your turn?

Tong Jia nodded when she heard this and said, “I know, so after I said that just now, I thought about how ridiculous I was.

Since this is the activity fund, I won't be polite with you. Don't see me off, we're leaving, and we'll... meet again if we're lucky."

Living in a turbulent time, even for ordinary people, every separation may not lead to the next meeting, not to mention that these people are all people who have their heads tied to their belts. Whether there is a chance to meet again really depends on fate.

After saying goodbye to Yuan Shengnan, Tong Jia went to find Tao Junle, who had just been taken away by the brothers on the mountain to say goodbye. He said goodbye to all the brothers again, and then the two set off.

The mountain where Yuan Shengnan and his companions hid was located between Tianjin, Beijing, Chengde and Qiaotun in Hebei Province.

Due to Tong Jia's current identity, she could not take Tao Junle through Tianjin in a swagger, and could only take a detour through the surrounding cities.

Two hours after leaving Yuan Shengnan's base, Tong Jia and Tao Junle found a large rock sheltered from the wind and entered the RV.

Tong Jia first put on the old lady's makeup for herself, and then she and Tao Junle began to study the map in the RV.

The most convenient route is naturally to go south from Tianjin, but there are wars in many places in the south now. Not only in the south, but all over the country and even the world are not at peace.

Moreover, the place they were going to was the Soviet area, which was under a comprehensive blockade by the current government, so it was impossible to enter directly.

In order to enter the Southern Jiangxi Soviet Area smoothly and avoid the battlefields or places that are about to become battlefields as much as possible, they have to take a long detour.

After two hours of research, Tong Jia finally determined a relatively safe route that could smoothly lead to the Gannan Soviet Area.

However, when she and Tao Junle arrived at Qiaotun Railway Station, they were dumbfounded.

Not only do the trains from Qiaotun not depart every day, but most of them can only go to Yuyang first and then transfer from Yuyang.

Because many small warlords who had lost the battle for territory, or those who followed the warlords, became bandits after the disaster, and most of these people were in Hebei Province.

Since these people have plenty of weapons and equipment, even the local government can't do anything about them.

Therefore, Tong Jia wanted to choose public transportation, that is, trains, as much as possible within the territory of Hebei Province.

If there is a train directly from Qiaotun to Shandong or Henan Province, she will not choose to transfer in Yuyang.

But there was no way, this was the reality, and no matter how reluctant she was, she only had two choices.

Or you can buy a train ticket to Changshan, but you will need to wait for two days in Qiaotun.

Or you can buy a ticket that departs today and go to Yuyang first.

These three places all belong to Hebei Province. It can even be said that the closer to the capital and Tianjin, the more rampant those bandits become.

So, after careful consideration, Tong Jia decided to buy a ticket to Yuyang.

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when we arrived in Yuyang.

All the hotels on the street were closed. Tong Jia couldn't knock on any hotel door, so she had to take Tao Junle back to the waiting hall of the train station.

That night, Tong Jia let Tao Junle sleep on her lap, and after drinking coffee and Red Bull, she began to carefully study the train timetable borrowed from the train station staff.

There are three buses departing from Yuyang at dawn, heading to Mount Tai, Anyang and Chang'an respectively.

According to the route she confirmed during the day, it would naturally be safer to go to Mount Tai.

Moreover, she and Tao Junle were from Shandong Province, so she had no idea what the situation was at Taishan Railway Station.

But she remembered clearly where the trains at the provincial capital's train station went.

There are several buses going to Shanghai, Jiangcheng and Shancheng every day. Once you reach the provincial capital, the rest of the journey will be much easier.

Among these three cities, Tong Jia prefers to go to Mountain City, but River City is also an option.

This is mainly because the current government has blocked all access channels to the surrounding areas of the Southern Jiangxi Soviet Area.

If you want to get in, you can only pass through the mountain city and then through the forest city of your province to enter southern Jiangxi.

Of course, after the experience at Qiaotun Railway Station this afternoon, Tong Jia has learned to prepare a backup plan.

The best route is naturally to go directly from the provincial capital to the mountain city, but if you encounter special circumstances, you can go to the river city first. If there is really no other way, go to Shanghai.

No matter what, as long as we move forward, we will be one step closer to the Southern Jiangxi Soviet Area.

After studying the route, Tong Jia felt a little sleepy, but when she saw that the waiting room was crowded even late at night, she didn't dare to close her eyes.

I quietly took out a bottle of coffee from the RV and drank it, which helped me suppress my tiredness.

As soon as someone came to work at the ticket office, Tong Jia immediately woke Tao Junle up, and without waiting for him to fully wake up, dragged him to the ticket office to buy tickets, fearing that if they were delayed for a while, the tickets to Mount Tai would be sold out.

Fortunately, they were lucky enough to buy not only tickets but also sleeper tickets.

Looking at the sleeper ticket in her hand, Tong Jia almost cried.

God knows how uncomfortable she is now. She should be sleeping, but under the effects of coffee and Red Bull, her eyes are as big as copper bells, her head is swollen, and she wishes she could just chop it off.

Once she got in the car, she would lie down and sleep first.

Unfortunately, that was just her idea, not reality.

Maybe the effect of the coffee had not worn off yet. After getting on the bus and finding her own berth, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Instead, the tossing and turning made her head hurt even more.

Now she gives people the impression of a sickly old lady.

In addition, Tao Junle could not speak, so the train attendants paid special attention to this "grandparent and grandchild" pair, fearing that she would accidentally get hurt on the train and get into big trouble.

It was also because of the attention of the train conductor that the journey from Yuyang to Mount Tai went very smoothly.

The effect of the coffee didn't wear off until the train arrived at Taishan Station.

Tong Jia was so dizzy now that she didn't care about the hotel environment. She just chose a hotel nearby, asked for a single room, and moved in with Tao Junle.

Because Tong Jia was really sleepy, she took out some artifacts for blocking doors and windows from the RV, climbed onto the bed and went to sleep, leaving the safety of the room to Tao Junle.

Tao Junle had used it several times before. Seeing Tong Jia so uncomfortable, he obediently took those things and used them to block the door and windows.

After everything was blocked, I looked at Tong Jia again and found that he was already snoring.

Tao Junle smiled, took out the notebook again and started to draw Tong Jia's sleeping face.

He spent ten hours on this painting.

If his stomach hadn't been growling from hunger, he wouldn't have realized that it was already dark outside.

Seeing that Tong Jia was still sleeping soundly, Tao Junle didn't want to wake her up.

After washing his face briefly with the water in the washbasin in the hotel room, he went to bed.

Six hours later, the rumbling sounds of the intestines began again.

But this time the owner of the intestinal rumbling was not only Tao Junle, but also Tong Jia.

Tong Jia, who was woken up by hunger, got up from the bed and instinctively pulled Tao Junle into the RV.

Both of them were half asleep as they washed up in the restrooms on the first and second floors respectively. When they came out, they both looked full of energy.

After grabbing some food from the RV to fill his stomach, Tong Jia looked at the mountain view outside the window and suddenly had the idea of going hiking.

During the Republic of China period, Mount Tai, the Eastern Peak, had not yet undergone the commercial tourism development of later generations, and everything was still pristine.

The organization gave her three months, and she has only used more than four days but less than five days now, so she feels that the time is plenty.

Now that she is here, she will definitely regret it if she doesn’t climb the current Mount Tai herself.

So, at daybreak, she checked out of the hotel and took Tao Junle to the street to buy the equipment and food needed for climbing. Then the two of them went climbing the mountain in high spirits.
