Reborn in 1963: I Hunted and Stockpiled Meat During a Famine

He stared blankly at Zhao Meng: "I know nothing, asking me won't help."

Do you know him?

Zhao Meng turned around, bringing Qin Qiming into view.

Qin Qiming stared at the man's face, then suddenly smiled: "I am Qin Qiming!"

Looking at Qin Qiming's face, the man's eyelids twitched violently, and he hurriedly closed his eyes, trying hard to control himself.

Zhao Meng had been keeping a close eye on the man, and upon seeing this, he immediately understood the situation.

His decision to call Qin Qiming over was clearly the right one.

Qin Qiming chuckled and asked, "It's been a while. How's Zhang Laosan doing?"

Qin Qi was convinced that this person was the same one he had met in town.

"Zhang Laosan? I don't know Zhang Laosan."

"Is the Green-Faced Demon living a pretty good life?"

"Who is the Blue-Faced Demon? I don't know him."

"You know the one from Baijia Village who you killed, right?"

"Which one? Stop beating around the bush, just say it!"

Qin Qiming noticed the other person's shifty gaze. He wanted to laugh, but then withdrew his smile: "Since you don't know him, why go looking for him? You have no grudge against him."

Qin Qiming asked a few questions and then stopped.

"It's them. Zhang Laosan is the contact person in town, and there are also contacts in the county. Those people haven't been arrested yet."

Qin Qiming spoke rapidly, leaving those around him stunned.

The man was completely dumbfounded after hearing Qin Qiming's string of words. He clearly hadn't said anything!

Zhao Meng watched Qin Qiming turn around and nodded: "Immediately prohibit entry and exit from the county town, send people to Yangguan Town to arrest Zhang Laosan, and at the same time order the troops to go up the mountain to search for Qingmian Gui."

After saying that, the two left.

"Qin Qiming!"

Qin Qiming heard the shouts behind him, but did not stop.

"Were you bluffing him just now?"

"Correct!"

After leaving the stone house, Zhao Meng asked, "Will this trickery make him talk?"

“No.” Qin Qiming shook his head. “But this could break his psychological defenses. He might think he won’t tell, but once he finds out that others already know what he’s hiding, he might choose to reveal some of it, or even tell everything.”

Zhao Meng: "What I just said was also meant for him. The Blue-Faced Ghost is a vicious bandit who disrupts social order and harms innocent people. He must be eradicated. He might even take advantage of the situation just stabilizing to cause widespread destruction in the rear."

Zhao Meng led Qin Qiming to his residence, lit a kerosene lamp, and gestured for him to sit down.

"Qiming, how is the village doing now? I didn't have a chance to discuss these things with my uncle last time."

Qin Qiming: "The village is in good condition. There is enough food to eat, and there are many able-bodied men and children. Life is getting better every day."

Zhao Meng was very pleased to hear this: "I heard that there was a lot of snow on the mountain this year, making it difficult to catch prey, but I heard that you can catch wild rabbits every day. This shows that you are hardworking and don't complain about the weather. You just bury yourself in your work."

After talking with Zhao Meng for a few minutes, Qin Qiming realized that Zhao Meng seemed to have something to say, so he asked directly, "Brother, you must have something to say, right?"

Zhao Meng laughed heartily: "You are indeed different from the others in the village; you have a keen insight into people's hearts."

As he spoke, he became serious.

"I just went to the county government to discuss with the leaders. Although we are short-handed, we must immediately wipe out the Green-Faced Ghost gang of stubborn bandits! Otherwise, the damage to the local area will only get worse."

Therefore, the government and the military decided to temporarily dispatch soldiers to the surrounding villages centered around villages with different surnames, taking advantage of the fact that the villagers have not yet started planting in the spring to provide military training to the young people in the villages and form local militias.

But right now the key is your area. We need to cooperate with the local troops and villagers to completely wipe out the Blue-Faced Demons!

I know that there are many veterans of the Anti-Japanese United Army in the villages around Yangguan Mountain. Most of the young people can shoot, but they lack practical experience!

Therefore, someone must be responsible for training them and continuously patrolling the mountains until the Green-Faced Demons are completely eradicated!

The villagers who underwent further training will not be disbanded; instead, they will form patrol teams in the mountains to patrol and protect the area long-term.

After hearing this, Qin Qiming felt increasingly uneasy. The patrol team not only had to deal with the Blue-Faced Demon, but also had to prevent wildfires.

Isn't this the police's job?

Should we give them official positions?

"When you leave tomorrow, I will send a comrade with you to begin training in the mixed-surname village. Afterward, I will arrange for other troops to enter Yangguan Town, arrest Zhang Laosan and interrogate him, and then go up the mountain."

Zhao Meng looked at Qin Qiming, his tone serious.

"Your time is running out. Once the Green-Faced Ghost learns about what happened in the county, he will definitely take action and will surely reveal his weakness!"

"The village with mixed surnames is a model village; my comrades-in-arms of decades live there. Let's start our operation from the village with mixed surnames!"

Qin Qiming nodded: "Okay, I'll go back to the village with my uncle and the others first thing tomorrow morning."

"Yes, I know you can read. List out what you need to buy, and I'll take care of it and deliver it to Yangguan Town. After dealing with Zhang Laosan, I'll bring it to you up the mountain."

"understand!"

Zhao Meng looked at Qin Qiming and sighed, "Actually, if you weren't an only child, and you had a younger sister and an elderly mother at home, I would definitely have taken you to the army. You should stay in the village for now, and we'll talk about it after you get married."

The next morning, Qin Qiming left behind a shopping list and money, and Zhao Meng jokingly said he was going to play the landlord.

Qin Qiming didn't care about this, because the money he earned from hunting in the mountains was clean and honest, and he wasn't afraid of any scrutiny!

Before leaving the city, he found Chen Jingen and took the gun he had left behind the day before.

Before leaving, Qin Qiming noticed that Chen Jingen's gaze was a little strange, but he didn't delve into it. He simply took the wine, drove the donkey cart, and returned to the village.

We returned to the village at noon.

"Qiming, you're back."

"Brother Kang?"

As soon as Qin Qiming entered the village, he was taken aback when he saw the person who greeted him: "Brother Kang, why are you back in the village? Why are you dressed so disheveled? Did Zhangjia Village not let you stay?"

“What you’re saying is ridiculous. Even if Zhang Bizi doesn’t get along with my father, what does that have to do with us younger generation? I can’t stay in Zhangjia Village anymore, and my injury isn’t that serious. I’ll be fine after resting for a while.”

Kang, who was of mixed surnames, noticed the donkey cart behind Qin Qiming: "Did you go to sell things?"

"Yes, I also brought a jar of wine, but you have to wait until you're fully recovered before you can break your abstinence."

"Oh, so you don't care about your father?"

The village chief heard the noise and came over. One sentence from him made Qin Qiming burst into laughter.

"Uncle Tian."

"Kangzi, just focus on getting better and don't think about drinking."

"By the way, Uncle, I'm planning to get a marriage certificate with Huimin. Can you give me a marriage certificate?"

"Hey kid, you've got a family now..."

"..."

The group chatted as they unloaded their drinks.

Afterwards, Qin Qiming went home and checked on the rabbits and milking goats he was raising. They were in good condition and eating and drinking well.

The white fox was also sleeping nearby.
