He Daqing, do you know how I've lived these past years?

Watching Brother Zhao walk away, Leyou looked back at the Japanese soldiers around him with a mixture of excitement and conflict.

Large piles of sacks full of grain were stacked on the open ground.

Leyou watched the Japanese soldiers return to their cabin and leave the dock before he breathed a sigh of relief. He touched his back, which was covered in cold sweat.

While the team members weren't looking, he used his spatial ability to store 8 cubic meters of grain.

Then he told the team members to contact patriotic organizations to procure grain.

Another batch was set aside to be dumped in the homes of the villagers in the middle of the night.

Everyone worked all night, and it wasn't until dawn that they finished transporting everything and left.

After a long time

"Ding Ding Ding"

The telephone kept ringing from the small wooden hut at the dock.

But by then, Leyou and the others had already gone far away.

At noon, under the blazing sun, several jeeps and a troop carrier suddenly drove into the dock.

Dozens of Japanese soldiers came down with a series of thuds and took up positions to guard the surrounding area.

The Japanese soldiers who got out of the jeep were led by an elderly man wearing glasses.

The group went inside to check on the condition of the cabin.

He shouted angrily

"Baka!"

The leading Japanese soldier said a few words to the soldier next to him, who then bowed his head, shouted, and quickly walked away.

After returning home, Leyou would go out for a walk whenever he had free time to check on the situation of the surrounding villagers and also let his team members go to other places to distribute porridge and provide relief.

I noticed that people were slowly moving around on the street, and fewer villagers were eating tree bark and banana tops anymore.

However, many places were suffering from famine, and the food sent by Leyou was only a drop in the bucket and could not last long.

Therefore, those who are well-fed should always remember the kindness of Lord Yuan!

That day, as Leyou, swaying his head, reached the temple gate, he realized something was wrong.

The surroundings are usually very noisy, but at this time it is quiet.

Leyou quickly entered the courtyard, closed the door, inserted the wooden bolt, and leaped onto a large tree by pushing off the wall.

Looking around, I saw that many Japanese soldiers were lying in ambush on both sides of the street.

Leyou immediately understood that the grain robbery at the dock must have been discovered.

He immediately jumped down from the tree and ran to the kitchen, stuffing everything usable into the space.

He quickly went to his master's room and told him about it, instructing him to pack up before leaving. Then he slung a backpack over his shoulder and waited at the door.

"bump"

"bump"

A loud banging came from the door. Leyou turned around, rushed into her master's room, grabbed her master's hand, and ran towards the back door.

While the master wasn't looking, I also put the master's luggage into the system.

Soon, a noisy commotion filled the courtyard.

They've already run into the courtyard, so the entire courtyard must be surrounded; the back door is completely inaccessible.

Leyou pulled his master to the window of the back room, kicked the window open with a few forceful kicks, and found that the Japanese had not yet spread here. He immediately pulled his master and jumped out of the window.

Without looking back, he ran quickly into the alley, only to hear a burst of gunfire behind him.

Leyou then gave her master a princess carry and ran off headfirst in an S-shaped curve.

I only realized I had arrived at Tapogang when I passed by a temple.

There's a legend about this place: it often emitted golden light, and when the locals dug it up, they found three bronze Buddha statues, so this place is also called...

Brothers, if you know the answer, just say it.

Leyou took a deep breath; after passing the ridge, the land was mostly flat.

Looking back, I vaguely saw Japanese soldiers chasing us on bicycles.

Oh my god, I can't keep up with this stamina!

At this moment, the master said:

"Time is of the essence. Either go east to the South China Sea Squadron, or go to Qujiang and head north. But your senior uncle sacrificed his life there!"

Turning back would be like walking into a trap. Without time to think, Leyou identified the direction and sped northward.

If you see a grove of trees, go into the grove; if you see a slope, climb up the slope.

As night fell, Leyou looked back and saw that everything was quiet. Finally, she stopped and stuck out her tongue, panting heavily.

"Master, have some water and something to eat."

Leyou put down his master.

Then pretend to take something out of your backpack, but actually take it out of your storage space.

After finishing dinner, Master smacked his lips, looked at the remaining food, and sighed:

"Sigh, Old Tan's cooking is still the best. I wonder if I'll ever be able to eat his food again."

It's strange that Leyou has also worked as a chef:

"Old Tan? Who is Old Tan? Master, aren't the skills of masters like Luo Guorong and Wang Lan good now?"

"They were old friends. He and his third wife were the ones who popularized Tan Family Cuisine. Later, I heard that his second daughter took over as manager."

"A perfect balance of sweet and savory, retaining the original flavor,"

"Speaking of this, I remember that there was this clever little devil who would always peek out the window, sometimes even carrying a ladder to climb onto the roof to watch Old Tan cook. He would get caught by Madam Zhao and get a spanking."

Leyou burst into laughter upon hearing this:

"Who is this person? Why are they peeking?"

"His name was He Daqing. He was glib and always said that the He family line couldn't be cut off. In the end, Old Tan allowed him to stand by and watch."

This kid even peeked at me practicing martial arts, but after seeing him beg and plead, I taught him a few moves.

Then it was passed on to Master Wu, who practiced wrestling. That kid was no pushover either; he often had secret meetings with the young ladies from Old Tan's collateral relatives.

"Master, is his cooking skill good?"

"He shouldn't be bad. He's more than ten years older than you, and he should have finished his apprenticeship by now. I'll take you next time we go to Beijing."

"Okay, Master, I'd like to try some Tan family cuisine too."

Leyou silently recited He Daqing's name a few times in his heart, then carried his master on his back and continued walking north.

Interestingly, they encountered a beggar boy of about seven or eight years old along the way. Seeing that Leyou was carrying rice and meat from his backpack, the boy followed him.

According to Master's words, we should govern by non-action and let nature take its course. If the little boy agrees, he can be sent to a children's home.

Leyou didn't object and shared some food with him. However, the more he looked at the food, the more familiar it seemed. When asked for his name...

"Leopard Strong"

The little boy looked up at Leyou and said.

Goodness, no wonder he looked so familiar, but he'll definitely be loyal in the future!

Leyou looked back at Ji'an Township to the south, feeling a pang of reluctance. Goodbye, my hometown, I will definitely come back in the future!

After eating their dry rations, the three of them got up and continued walking towards Qujiang.

The journey was uneventful, but several times under his master's strange gaze, Leyou had to grit his teeth and continue taking out food from his backpack.

We finally arrived. Looking at the tall city wall in front of us, I heard that Qujiang is now the location of the provincial government.

As you enter the city, you see shops lining the streets and people coming and going. In the distance, you can see many people building houses in the ruins, creating a thriving scene.

The three of them found a restaurant, had a meal, and then got the address of the children's home, preparing to take Bao Qiang there.

But Leopard Qiang refused to go no matter what, insisting on recognizing the Taoist priest as his master, leaving Le You both amused and exasperated. So, he asked someone to rent a courtyard for him.

If Leyou hadn't taken two boxes of small yellow croakers from the disaster relief official while robbing the rich for his own benefit, he would have been in serious trouble.

In the end, the Taoist priest did not accept Leopard Qiang as his disciple, but only taught him Hung Kuen and told him to practice it well, after all, it was a combination of Southern and Northern styles of kung fu.

After a good day of rest, we all went out to buy groceries the next morning. On the way, we encountered several newsboys shouting:

"Xinhua South China" newspaper is out!

"Anti-Japanese Front Newsletter" is out!

Come and buy!

Several people were seen surrounding a newsboy buying newspapers. Leyou also went up and bought one, intending to go home and check on the current situation in Qujiang.

After dinner, Master instructed Leopard Qiang in boxing, while Leyou sat on the side reading the newspaper.

It turns out that many literati came to Qujiang last year, and subsequently, many colleges, universities, and secondary schools across the country moved here, gathering together, just like the university towns of later generations.

Wouldn't that be a place where you could meet many famous literary figures and scholars of later generations?

Leyou chuckled to himself and said to his master:

"Master, should we stay in Qujiang for now, or make other plans?"

"Haha, you clever little devil! You didn't ask yesterday, but today you suddenly asked me this question after reading the communique. What are your thoughts on this?"

Master laughed heartily as he spoke.

"If Master were in Qujiang, I would like to go to school there, and Leopard Qiang would go too, to become a person who is both literate and skilled in martial arts."

Leyou chuckled in response.

"Alright, it's decided then!" Master nodded in agreement.

“My fellow students and I fought the Japanese here back then. If I know any of them, I’ll visit them first before making any plans.”

"Yes, Master."

"Okay, I'll go out and take a look now. Don't rush, let things take their course."

Over the next few days, as Leyou watched his master leave early and return late, he felt both excited and ashamed...
