Acai's Sky

Lin Kun's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief as he said, "This is truly unheard of! This is the first time I've heard that when the Japanese invaded, they brought North Koreans with them. Furthermore, these North Koreans were even more brutal towards our Chinese compatriots than the Japanese did!"

Professor Sheng, who was sitting nearby, nodded slightly and explained calmly, "Warfare isn't just a contest of military strength; it involves many aspects. First and foremost, financial resources and population."

He paused, then continued, "The Japanese have limited financial resources and cannot sustain a long-term, large-scale war. Therefore, they adopt a strategy of fighting to support the war, acquiring resources to supplement their military expenditures by invading other countries' territories."

"Because their own population is relatively small and insufficient to meet combat needs, they draw personnel from areas they have already occupied, such as North Korea and Taiwan, to participate in the war."

At this moment, Wei Yuan clapped his hands suddenly and exclaimed as if he had suddenly realized something: "That's right! Just like the Liu Laonian family in our village, aren't they specifically responsible for guarding the treasures that were looted from Xiao Benzi but haven't been transported away yet?"

It was the first time that Li Jinghong heard so many things about the war. He only remembered that his family had been moving around for seven years before finally arriving in the Qinling Mountains.

Li Jingqi watched Doctor Shen and Professor Sheng chatting happily. Educated people always tell stories in an interesting way.

He turned to look at his father, "My brother and I will be going to junior high school next year. I wrote the exam questions for my sister this afternoon, and she knows all of them. Should I let her get a high school diploma as well?"

Professor Sheng's assistant, Peng Jiang, listened to the conversation and interjected, "You also need to get a letter certifying your sister's aphasia. Have the army comrades prove that she was manipulated into this state by the secret agents. This letter will be very credible in the future."

The Li family's father and son nodded in agreement. "After the New Year, we'll immediately issue a certificate to our daughter. We really want to beat up that damned Liu Laonian family and those hidden spies to relieve the hatred in our hearts!"

At this moment, Doctor Shen gently stroked his beard and said slowly, "In my opinion, your daughter is suffering from a psychological problem. It is difficult to predict when she will be able to speak again. So, your anxiety will be of no use."

Doctor Shen seemed to realize the tense atmosphere and quickly changed the subject. "By the way, your family raises so many deer. If you need to process or prepare antlers or other things in the future, don't forget to ask me to come and help. Don't let them go to waste!"

Hearing this, Li Huaishan nodded repeatedly in agreement, raised his glass and toasted Doctor Shen with a glass of wine. He smiled and responded, "Don't worry, our deer have already started giving birth. In time, the size of the deer herd will inevitably grow larger and larger, and by then, there will naturally be no shortage of antlers!"

Professor Sheng was just listening quietly to everyone's conversation, but when he heard about the animals in the Qinling Mountains, he couldn't help but become interested.

After all, the creatures in the Qinling Mountains are really full of spirituality, just like those raised in the Li family's backyard.

Professor Sheng sighed, "The vast Qinling Mountains are truly mysterious and awe-inspiring! Many areas are inaccessible to ordinary people. Yet, strangely, your two little donkeys and two big blue mules seem fearless and are willing to venture anywhere."

Li Huaishan had a cheerful smile on his face and said, "It's just the mountain god appearing! We've all seen it with our own eyes. As long as we behave ourselves and don't do bad things, there's no need to worry about the mountain god coming to visit us."

Upon hearing this, Lin Kun, who was standing nearby, quickly came over and asked curiously, "I heard that the Qinling Mountains, apart from the area around the main peak, are now vigorously suppressing bandits. Is this true?"

Jin Changtai, a member of Professor Sheng's security team standing nearby, nodded and responded, "You don't know, the Qinling Mountains are incredibly steep and rugged, with each branch having its own unique characteristics. Because of this, many bandits hide here."

Jin Changtai paused for a moment before continuing, "In Hu County, bandits suddenly began to fight amongst themselves overnight, and nearly all of them were killed by wild beasts. This incident has now spread to other places."

He took a deep breath and continued, "Because of this incident, many civilians who had been forcibly recruited by the bandits have seized the opportunity to quietly escape home and surrender to the government. This has greatly reduced our burden. If this situation continues, these bandits will surely be completely wiped out in less than two years."

Hearing this, Wei Yuan's eyes widened in surprise and he cried out in disbelief: "Oh my God, there are so many bandits!"

Jin Changtai nodded again and explained, "That's right. Many of the bandits here actually formed gangs and factions long before they started fighting the Japanese. They each occupied their own territory, and no one was willing to submit to the other, so it has been difficult to completely wipe them out."

Professor Sheng poked the adorable black and white panda cub with his finger, a look of wonder on his face. "Hey, this little fellow is really clever! Who would have thought this is the legendary Chi You's mount—the Iron-eating Beast?"

Lan Xi, a student standing nearby, squatted down curiously and observed the panda cub closely, her eyes full of novelty and confusion: "Teacher, are you saying this is really the legendary mount of Chi You? It feels incredible!"

Professor Sheng smiled and nodded, his eyes never leaving the adorable creature before him. He slowly said, "From historical records, it's true. However, our understanding of this animal's specific habits is still quite limited. However, since it's a bear, I imagine it should have some similarities with the black bear."

At this time, Li Huaishan walked over and couldn't help laughing after hearing their conversation. He interrupted, "Haha, this little cutie of ours is really something! Not only does he like to eat common foods like bamboo and bamboo shoots, he also welcomes all kinds of fruit, and occasionally even eats some meat."

Professor Sheng quickly sat up straight and asked the students to bring him some letter paper as he wanted to write a letter to his good friend.

Such a little thing worth studying should not be missed by your friends.
