Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

378 Escort

"Come here, give me the saw..."

"Over there, bring the wooden planks here quickly, and bring the hammer and nails by the way..."

The work of building houses on the mountain was going on in an orderly manner. Everyone was working hard, some were repairing the roof of the house, and some were sawing wood. In short, no one was idle.

The work didn't stop until six o'clock in the afternoon. Li Jin also asked people to prepare meals in advance. There were more than 300 people and five or six big pots.

In the open space of the cottage, people lined up in several teams and took turns cooking. The faces of the villagers were full of smiles, which was full of hope for life.

"Company commander, according to the current progress, it can be done in four or five days at most." Liu Changshun came to Li Jin with a big bowl of rice and said.

The villagers are full of energy, and no one is lazy in their work. They are all doing their best.

"Well, let the villagers move in here after it's done, and that's the end of the matter." Li Jin nodded and said, he can do it with confidence and boldly after relocating the people in several villages.

After eating and resting for a while, everyone continued to work until the sun went down completely. Li Jin also asked them to find a random room in the cottage to live in.

At night, there are stars, the full moon hangs high, and the bright moonlight shines on the mountains, as if covering it with a silver-white tulle.

"Old Mo, if this settles down, I feel that life will get better and better in the future."

"Yeah, before the Eighth Route Army came, I never thought that we could live in peace in the future."

"So, if the devils are driven out in the future, and the Eighth Route Army will manage Huaxia, that would be great."

"Definitely."

Some villagers stayed up at night, talking quietly, and they all felt that life was getting more and more hopeful.

Before the Eighth Route Army and the others came, life in several villages was still very difficult, but after the Eighth Route Army came,
Not only did it help them solve the problem of arable land and increase their production, but it also gave each of their households high-yield potatoes and sweet potatoes as seeds.

As long as these seeds are cultivated well, everyone should not be hungry in the future.

That night, the villagers slept very comfortably. Some villagers even smiled while sleeping, as if they had some sweet dreams.

No matter in troubled times or prosperous times, for the common people, as long as they can eat enough, not go hungry, and have their wives and children warm on the kang, that is the happiest thing.

Early the next morning, after a simple breakfast, the work of building the house was still in full swing. They all wanted to finish the work early and then go back to pick up their families.

Time passed quickly, and it was four days in a blink of an eye. At around one o'clock in the afternoon, as the last house was built, everyone's work finally stopped.

"Okay, since the work is done, let's set off and go back to move!" At the foot of the mountain, Li Jin waved his hand.

The villagers cheered and followed Li Jin in the direction of going back.

On the way back, Li Jin was also thinking, the three villages lived on the three mountains of Qinshan, wouldn't this be equivalent to merging the three villages? !

In terms of the management of the village, more manpower should be added...

.........

At three o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Li Jin and the others returned to the barracks, and the villagers of several villages also returned to their villages.

Li Jin also asked the villagers to call their village chief over for a meeting.

"How's the situation?!" Xu Qingfeng stepped forward and asked.

"It's all done. The devils haven't increased their troops in the past few days, right?!" Li Jin nodded and asked immediately.

"No, yesterday I brought back the two soldiers who were watching in Changyuan County." Xu Qingfeng said.

A week has passed, and there is still no movement from the devil, obviously not planning to enter the mountain anymore.

"Well, let's go, follow me to the meeting room and wait for someone." Li Jin nodded and walked towards the meeting room, Xu Qingfeng followed behind him.

The two waited in the meeting room for a short time before the three village chiefs arrived.

"Li Lianchang, I heard that the houses on Qinshan Mountain have been built, right?!" Village Chief Song said as soon as he came in, with a smile on his face.

"Yes, I called you here because I want you to inform the villagers and let them pack up. We will help you move tomorrow," Li Jin said.

This time it was moving, so the villagers had to bring all their belongings, especially wheat seeds, potatoes and sweet potatoes, as well as pots and pans, everything they could bring.

"Okay, we understand, but if we bring everything with us, it will probably take a few days to finish the move." Village Chief He said.

There are quite a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes to be moved in each household. Even with the help of a special warfare company, it may take several days.

"It's okay, you guys ask the villagers to put those things in bags and write their names, and leave the rest to us," Li Jin said.

"Okay, then I will trouble you." Village Chief He said.

"It's okay, everything should be done, and this time, you three villages live together, so you must manage the people in your own village well,

If there is anything, then discuss it, don't fight, and the distribution of wasteland, it must be fair and just,

If there are any problems that cannot be solved, please send someone to me, and I will handle them for you. "Li Jin said.

The three villages live together and see each other when they look up. There may be friction between them. This is unavoidable. Therefore, the three old village chiefs should handle these things well and avoid bloodshed as much as possible.

"Company Commander Li, don't worry, we will take good care of them." Village Chief Song said, they are in the village, they can be regarded as one and the same, if they open their mouths, few people in the village will not accept it.

After all, many villagers grew up watching them.

"I know that you will take good care of your own people. The key is that the three of you get along in harmony. If there is anything wrong, discuss it more and don't be too tense." Li Jin said, what he was afraid of was not the villagers' disobedience, but the three of them. The old village chief was not in harmony.

If these three do not live in harmony, the villagers of the three villages will fight in minutes.

"It doesn't matter. The three of us are all very old. We used to be younger and might be able to get ahead, but now we are half buried in the soil, and we are no longer what we used to be." Village Chief He said.

When they were young, the three villages used to fight with weapons, but no one was killed, but they didn't like each other.

It's quite scary when a person is bullied and a whole village helps out.

If Li Jin and the others hadn't come to recruit soldiers and resolved the conflict, the villagers of the three villages would have always looked at each other disliked.

However, Li Jin did a good job of recruiting soldiers. He recruited young people from the three villages and made them comrades-in-arms. The conflicts between the older generation and the younger generation were also resolved.

In fact, the three villages don't have any particularly serious enmity, the main reason is that no one was killed in the previous fight, otherwise this matter would not be resolved so easily.

"Then I'm relieved, that's all right, you go and inform the villagers first." Li Jin said.

The three village chiefs then left.

"Old Xu, please let someone inform those villagers who want to go to their relatives to stay at home tomorrow, and I will arrange for someone to escort them to their relatives.

By the way, tell them that if their relatives don't want to see them, they can come back at any time. "Li Jin said.

To be honest, he didn't think those relatives in the villagers' mouths would welcome them. If those relatives didn't have families, it's okay to say that those who had families would most likely not be welcomed.

It's fine to stay for a few days, but who can bear it all the time.

"Well, okay." Xu Qingfeng nodded, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Jin.

"Wait a minute, old Xu, let me discuss something with you." Li Jin said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingfeng became vigilant.

"What do you want to do, kid?!" Xu Qingfeng said.

"It's like this. I plan to escort Xiao Liu to the villager in Xiaotang Village to join relatives. Then I will go to Xiao Liu's house by the way. This kid hasn't come home for a long time.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, let him go back to see his parents. "Li Jin said.

"Okay, but be careful and don't cause trouble. If you haven't come back for more than three days, I will take someone to look for it." Xu Qingfeng nodded in agreement, but he also gave a deadline.

After this deadline, he planned to take someone to find Li Jin.

"No problem, I will definitely come back early." Li Jin promised.

"Let him not talk about Xiao Liu's return home, otherwise, other soldiers may also want to go home." Xu Qingfeng said.

Some of the soldiers brought over from the New Regiment didn't want to go home. Liu Changshun was barely on a mission, and it happened that he was not too far away from home. Otherwise, Xu Qingfeng would not agree.

"Don't worry, I will tell him." Li Jin said.

Only then did Xu Qingfeng leave.

Li Jin took out a list and looked carefully at the villagers who were going to Xiaotang Village. They were five members of He Erbao's family from Hejia Village. They planned to join their second master.

After thinking about it, Li Jin went to the dormitory and found Tang Zizheng.

"Old Tang, you arrange four rows of people and divide them into twelve groups. When the time comes, help escort the villagers to go to relatives. This is the list with the address on it." Li Jin handed the list to Tang Zizheng.

Five escorts per group is enough.

"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the task!" Tang Zizheng said seriously after looking at the list.

"By the way, I will personally lead the team in Xiaotang Village. You can divide the team into eleven groups." Li Jin said, he planned to set off with Liu Changshun and three soldiers from the reconnaissance squad.

After all, it was an enemy-occupied area, and the soldiers with the reconnaissance squad would be able to protect the villagers if something happened.

"Ah?! Company commander, do you want to personally escort him?!" Tang Zizheng was stunned.

"Yeah." Li Jin nodded.

"Leave this trivial matter to me. You don't need to go there yourself." Tang Zizheng said, it was just escorting a few people, and Li Jin didn't need to go out in person.

"It's okay, I'll go, and you will be responsible for escorting the others." Li Jin said.

"Understood!" Tang Zizheng nodded.

Then Li Jin went to the dormitory of the reconnaissance class, and he picked out three fighters who were in the forefront of physical fitness.

As for Lu Changgong, it wasn't that Li Jin didn't want to take it with him, but mainly because Lu Changgong was so conspicuous that he could attract the attention of almost everyone passing by.

This is not a real fight, but an escort, and taking Lu Changgong is a bit ostentatious.

.........

At eight o'clock the next morning, the villagers in the three villages were all ready, they had packed up.

Xu Qingfeng was leading the soldiers of the special warfare company to help move things.

Afterwards, nearly [-] villagers from the three villages started to move. They were carrying big and small bags, and those who didn't know thought they were fleeing famine.

Li Jin also asked Tang Zizheng to escort the remaining villagers to go to relatives first.

Watching Tang Zizheng and the others leave, Li Jincai took Liu Changshun and the others to Hejia Village.

He Erbao's family is actually the only one who is going to seek refuge with relatives in He Village.

Not long after, Li Jin brought people to He Erbao's house. In the yard, an old man was sitting here. This was He Erbao's father, He Ming.

He placed three bulging sacks containing wheat seeds, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

"Company Commander Li, you are here." He Ming hurriedly greeted Li Jin after seeing him.

"He Wuye, have you all packed up?!" Li Jin asked.

"It's all packed, I'll wait for you, Erbao, come out quickly, Company Commander Li is here to see us off." He Mingchao shouted into the room.

Soon, a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman walked out of the room, and behind them were two little girls about three or four years old.

"It's Company Commander Li..." The two little girls rushed to Li Jin and hugged Li Jin's thigh, looking very sticky to Li Jin.

"It's red beans and mung beans." Li Jin squatted down with a smile, and then picked up the two little girls.

"Company Commander Li, when will I be able to serve in the Eighth Route Army?" Xiaohongdou said in a childish voice.

"It's fine when you grow up, how about I come to recruit you in person?!" Li Jin laughed.

"Great! I'll be in the Eighth Route Army in the future!" Xiaohongdou shouted happily.

"I want to be one too, Company Commander Li, you can't just recruit your sister!" Little Mung Dou became anxious immediately and shouted.

"All right, all recruits, all recruits." Li Jin couldn't laugh or cry when he was teased by the two.

"Hey..." Little Mung Bean showed a sweet smile.

The others couldn't help but smile when they saw this scene.

"You two come down quickly, don't disturb Company Commander Li." He Erbao said.

"It's okay, it's not heavy anyway, I can just hold it." Li Jin smiled, turned around and asked Liu Changshun and the others to help move things, and then the group set off.

Along the way, Little Red Dou and Little Mung Dou were asking Li Jin some naive questions, but Li Jin didn't think they were bothering them, instead he answered their questions patiently.

After Liu Changshun and the three soldiers saw this scene, they were also thinking that the company commander seemed to like children very much.

They beat the devils desperately, isn't it just for the next generation to live a better life, if their generation doesn't make it, why should the next generation go.

At around [-]:[-] p.m., Li Jin and the others safely passed through the enemy-occupied area and sent He Erbao and the others to the mountains about two miles away from Xiaotang Village.

"Fifth He, I'll send you here, and I'll let them move things to your house." Li Jin put down the little red beans and the little mung beans.

"Captain Li, I really trouble you too much." He Ming said.

"Fifth Master, if you get angry in Xiaotang Village, go back. We won't be angry, understand." Li Jin urged.

"No, my second brother is still a very good person." He Ming said that the second brother wrote him a letter a year ago, asking him to come and live, and the second brother has no children and lives alone Very, that's why he wanted to come and accompany him.

"Okay, then you can live a good life. If you need anything, you can go back to Wujia Village to find me." Li Jin said.
