I used the Mo Dao (a type of long-handled sword) to fight the Japanese.

The group stayed on Jade Maiden Peak for a full day and night, meticulously recording details such as the patrol frequency, shift changes of guards, flight paths of aircraft, round-trip times, and even the times when the Japanese guards went to the toilet. However, they still hadn't found any obvious loopholes by the next morning, and remained clueless about how to take over the airport.

"Never mind that for now, let's find an inn in the nearest town and get a good night's sleep! The Japanese airfield is right here, they can't escape anytime soon!" Man Cang saw everyone yawning and decided to get some sleep first. Worrying won't help if he can't think of a solution; he needs to find a way to fill his stomach first!

"Yes, yes, yes! Let's eat something first and then find a place to sleep. This whole night has exhausted me!" Man Gui was the first to agree.

"Alright..." Everyone knew that whether they kept an eye on things here or not, and they had figured out all the details, it didn't matter where they came up with a solution!

Soon, the group changed out of their Japanese soldier skins and arrived at a small town called Dafang. They found a breakfast shop and had a big meal. Afterward, they slept in an inn until noon.

At noon, Mancang was still fast asleep in bed when Zaohua barged in and ripped off his blanket!

"What are you doing? Why are you here instead of sleeping? I'm still sleepy!" Mancang said reluctantly as he sat up.

"Still sleeping! Have you thought of a solution yet?" Zao Hua rolled her eyes and said.

"A solution? What solution? At least let people get a good night's sleep!" Mancang said, putting on his clothes and leaning against the headboard.

"Sleep, sleep, all you do is sleep! You came all this way just to sleep? How can you sleep? Maybe a Japanese plane will fly over your head and drop a bomb, and you'll be asleep forever!" Zaohua said irritably.

She volunteered to come along, constantly boasting that she was clever and could come up with ideas. She bragged all she could, but when she got there, she was dumbfounded. The Japanese had the airport heavily fortified, like an iron fortress. What could she do? She'd been racking her brains since last night but hadn't come up with a single feasible solution. How could she sleep peacefully? How could she face her brothers if she slunk back like this?

So when Mancang still hadn't come out by noon, we simply came to look for him!

"Do you have a good idea? Tell me quickly!" Mancang asked casually when he saw her anxious.

"I don't have any ideas! I've been working non-stop since last night, but I just can't think of a feasible solution! I'm so anxious, I should have listened to advice and not come to join in the fun..." Zao Hua said regretfully.

"Haha, isn't this all your own doing! Now you know that fighting a war isn't so simple?" Mancang laughed.

"You're still laughing! If I can't come up with a solution, wouldn't I be embarrassing you? I don't care, just come up with an idea right now, or... I'm not leaving!"

"Okay, okay! How about we sleep together?"

"Get lost! We're being serious!"

"Isn't this perfectly legitimate?"

……

Mancang was dragged along by the little girl and had to go through the airport situation again, but he couldn't think of any other way besides a direct assault, which made the little girl even more distressed!

"Don't worry, it's past mealtime, let's go eat first. Maybe a solution will come when we're full!" Mancang threw off the covers and started getting dressed. There was no other way to deal with it right now, so he decided to eat first.

"Eat, eat, all you ever do is eat... Hey! You pervert!..." Zao Hua was about to complain a bit more, but before she knew it, this guy was putting on his clothes right in front of her! How could a grown man like him sleep with his legs bare? And what's with the white underwear!

"What's wrong? It's just wearing clothes, it's quite modest, isn't it? What's the big deal..." Wearing clothes in front of a beautiful woman would be fine in later generations, but it's still quite embarrassing in this era!

"Pah! Shameless!..." Zao Hua turned around, feeling her face burning.

Soon the two went out and strolled around the streets. Feeling awkward from earlier, they felt too embarrassed to sit face-to-face and eat, so they left the inn together to ease the tension.

The streets were still bustling, with vendors shouting their wares one after another. Occasionally, a few collaborators would pass by on the street, drawing curses from the people behind them!

“Tanghulu!”

"Fragrant and sweet candied hawthorns!"

"Young man, buy the girl a candied hawthorn!"

"Alright! Two, please. How much?" Mancang agreed when the old man buying candied hawthorns looked at him solicitously.

"Alright! Two for seven coins!" the old man said, taking down two strings of candied hawthorns and handing them to Mancang.

Mancang paid for the candied hawthorn and handed it to Zaohua, saying solicitously, "Beautiful young lady, please have some candied hawthorn!"

The blush on Zao Hua's face hadn't faded yet when she glanced at Man Cang, who was laughing nauseatingly, took the candied hawthorn, and viciously bit off a hawthorn berry, eating it with an expression that made it seem like she was chewing on his flesh!

"..." Man Cang shuddered at the sight of her expression! This girl's temper is too much! It's just changing clothes in front of me, is it really that big of a deal? You try changing clothes in front of me and I promise I won't mind!

The two strolled along the street, each holding a candied hawthorn, ignoring each other like a young couple having a tiff!

"Guoguo, slow down! Be careful not to bump into anyone!" Just then, a four or five-year-old boy with a purple balloon in his hand ran past the two of them on the street, and a woman's voice came from behind them.

"Hehehe, Mom can't catch me! Guoguo has a flying balloon, Mom can't catch me!" The little boy laughed happily, as if holding the balloon in his hand really made him fly!

Mancang and his companion couldn't help but stop and look at the cheerful little boy. This scene was truly rare in this chaotic era of war!

"Slow down! Wait for Mom!" The woman clearly doted on the little boy, chasing after him at a leisurely pace. Her light green cheongsam made her look exceptionally elegant!

"Giggle,... Waaaaa... The balloon flew away!... I want a balloon!..." The little boy was turning around and laughing happily when he accidentally let the balloon fly into the sky and hung on a tree branch not far away, swaying in the wind.

"Don't cry, Guoguo! Mommy will buy you another one, let's buy another red one, okay?" The woman took two quick steps, hugged the little boy, and comforted him.

"No! I want this one! This one can carry Guoguo flying! I want this one! I want this one!..." The little boy stretched out his little hand and insisted.

"Alright, alright, let's find someone to help Guoguo get the balloon down!" The woman knew the child was being serious, so she went along with the child's suggestion.

"Young master, is this your balloon?" Just then, Mancang took off the balloon and handed it to the little boy.

"Yes! This is my balloon! My balloon can fly!" the little boy exclaimed excitedly as he took the balloon. It seemed as if he could really fly up into the sky with it at any moment!
