The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 166 Light and Hope

In the cottage, Bazel got along very well with the ordinary team members. They were all simple and enthusiastic, but they were not good at talking and could provide him with less material.

However, Bazel soon found a better conversation partner.

German is Bazel's native language, so he speaks it very well, and his English is not inferior to his German.In the cottage, there are Wang Charlie, Wang Yuling, Liang Baoguo, Yue Lin, and a female nurse who can speak English, and of course the omnipotent Gao Jiu. It is more convenient for them to talk in English together.

Wang Charlie, Liang Baoguo, and Yue Lin were all tied up to the mountain from Yu County. Bazel wanted to know their true feelings.

The current conditions in the cottage are very poor, there is no electricity, various housing facilities are being built inside, and there is chaos everywhere. The living environment is really terrible.

Bazel felt very sympathetic to those people who were kidnapped by bandits and came up the mountain. He thought that people like Charlie Wang should be very dissatisfied with Gao Jiu and others, but during the conversation, he felt that it was really different from what he imagined.

When he was talking with Charlie Wang, Charlie Wang was indeed dissatisfied with the life in the cottage.However, what he complained about was not about material conditions.The guys in the cottage like to eat, and the other buildings in the cave have not been completed yet, first of all, they built a kitchen in good condition.They kept buying all kinds of ingredients from outside the mountain, the food standard was very high, and they often had dinner parties under various names.

Charlie Wang runs a clinic in the county town, but he doesn't actually make a lot of money.Ordinary people have no money and look down on doctors, so he can't make money.The rich and powerful and those devils and traitors run rampant, and if they don't pay for sickness, they can't make money.The Japanese and puppet troops also collected all kinds of exorbitant taxes, and their lives were not well off.

In Peach Blossom Mountain, Wang Charlie's salary is very good. He can earn 25 oceans in a stable and comfortable way. Compared with the salary of Gao Jiu, the leader of Peach Blossom Village, he is currently the highest paid person in the whole village.This also shows the respect that Gao Jiu and others have for him.

From this point of view, compared to opening a clinic in the county, Charlie Wang's life is much more comfortable these days.

What he was dissatisfied with was that he was useless. These guys on Peach Blossom Mountain had extremely tenacious vitality, and it was rare to see any of them get sick.And these guys are very powerful. Even if they go out to fight, they can't even see a wounded person, and these doctors are just a display.

After Wang Charlie finished complaining, he talked about Gao Jiu's benefits. Gao Jiu's profound knowledge made Wang Charlie amazed. The concept of medicine opened Wang Charlie's horizons.

Gao Jiu has already drawn a big cake for him, saying that in the future, he will open a large hospital abroad, let him be the president, and give him shares in the hospital, so that he can earn a lot of money and tell many miracles The medicine, which lifted his appetite high.

Charlie Wang felt that sometimes he was like a child, full of expectations for the future.

In fact, Bazel felt the same way. After he got in touch with Gao Jiu, all kinds of magical things about Gao Jiu had already attracted him deeply.Originally, he was looking for Wang Charlie to find out some dissatisfying aspects of Gao Jiu, but he didn't expect that the result of the two people's discussion ended up being a praise for Gao Jiu.

To be honest, Bazel envied Charlie Wang a little bit, he thought that Gao Jiu could perform miracles, and Charlie Wang would have a bright future if he followed Gao Jiu.

Not to mention anything else, in terms of salary, Charlie Wang's salary is
Bazel felt envious. He worked hard, was nervous, and sometimes risked going out for interviews. The Deutsche marks he earned were exchanged for China's ocean, and there were only 15. He wrote high-quality manuscripts. With a little share, the income will not exceed 20 oceans.

Bazel's family belongs to a family with a higher income in the middle class in Germany.Otherwise, the family would have no money for him to study in the United States.He didn't really care about the amount of income, he came to China only because he likes to take risks.His salary here is not enough to spend at all, and his family often subsidizes him.

Although the family didn't say anything, he always felt a little uncomfortable.If he can make a lot of money, he will be very happy.

Before Gao Jiu left Peach Blossom Mountain this time, when chatting with Bazel, he mentioned that when he came back, he would give Bazel a job, and he could earn a lot of money easily.Bazel couldn't help but look forward to it.

Liang Baoguo and Yue Lin were also tied up to the mountain by Gao Jiu. The mental state of these two left a deep impression on Bazel.

When Bazel talked to them, he found that they were in a state of hyperactivity, as if they had been drugged.

After talking to them, Bazel understood why they felt the way they did.Both Liang Baoguo and Yue Lin are outstanding students of architecture at Tsinghua University. Now that China is in a period of war, there is no chance for them to engage in architectural design.The biggest project they came into contact with in the Yuxian Water Conservancy Division was to design a small canal, but there was no money for construction.In the county, they are still regarded as high-level intellectuals who are valued, and they can only get three oceans a month.After arriving at Peach Blossom Mountain, their monthly salary is 8 yuan.This is not the most important thing, Gao Jiu asked them to be responsible for designing and constructing the building facilities of Taohua Cave, so that they can give full play to their talents.

Gao Jiu also drew a big cake for them, telling them what to do in the future and asking them to design the largest and most representative building in the world.

In this way, the people on Peach Blossom Mountain really believed in Gao Jiu, as if they had been bewitched by an evil spirit.

Liang Baoguo took the blueprint of his own design and showed off their design results with great interest.

Although Bazel believes that what they said may be realized in the future.But when he saw the darkness in the cave, with oil lamps lit everywhere, he still felt that these people were a little funny.

This afternoon, he was in the clinic, chatting with the beautiful English-speaking girl, when he heard a noise coming from outside.When he came to the entrance of the cave, he saw a large group of people coming down the mountain, many of them were wearing the uniform of the puppet army, carrying a lot of things, and the people in the cottage also went out to help them, and transported the supplies to the cave.

Bazel saw a large number of machinery and equipment and various tools and equipment brought up, and knew that these things were very valuable.When he heard that he was robbed, he suddenly discovered that being a bandit is really a good job.Compared with his career as a reporter, it is much happier.

Yue Lin yelled happily, and he said: "There is a generator, and we will have electricity soon." This time there were six professional and technical workers who went up the mountain together, including two electricians.Their work efficiency was very high. That night, the cave was powered on, and they bid farewell to the dark life.

Looking at the cheering crowd in the cottage, the happy and vivid faces under the lights.Bazel suddenly understood the feelings of Wang Charlie, Liang Baoguo, and Yue Lin, and also understood why Peach Blossom Mountain presented a scene full of vitality.

Because these people are full of hope for their future life, and this hope is brought to them by Gao Jiu.

At night, Bazel turned off the light, but he couldn't sleep, and began to think about what kind of work Gao Jiu would give him to do when he came back.

The night is dark and the moonlight is like water.

Gao Jiu and the others continued to march.

The mountain road is too difficult to walk, even with a torch, it is still inevitable that some people will trip or even fall, and the team gradually began to have stragglers.

Yang Jiong's performance was really good, and he also felt very tired.But he must set an example for the members of the first brigade. Supported by this belief, he gritted his teeth and persisted.

In contrast, Jiang Xiaomei, who has martial arts all over her body, looks very relaxed.With three guns on her back, she was able to run back and forth very easily, encouraging the team members to keep marching.

Suddenly, she slipped and sat on the ground.
