As soon as Zhou Wen heard that there was a trail that could bypass Jianchang Camp and go directly to Lengkou Pass, he decided to divide his troops into two groups. He would personally lead the way and follow Wan Tiangui to take the trail directly to Lengkou Pass.
On the other side, Miaohua led the team and followed the caravan into Jianchang Camp and then went to Lengkou to meet Zhou Wen.
Since we are close to Jianchang Camp, this large area will become an anti-Japanese battlefield in a few months, so the terrain survey work will begin.
Zhou Wen asked Miaohua to lead a team to investigate the terrain from Jianchang Camp to Lengkou. Zhou Wen went directly to Lengkou to investigate. And since he knew that there was still a small road that could pass, Zhou Wen naturally wanted to go there himself and take a look.
Can large groups pass through?
After several people discussed, Zhou Wen walked back to the caravan. Looking at the three Zhao brothers who were looking forward to coming, Zhou Wen smiled slightly and said: "You brothers can leave, but you must remember that our business
You can't tell anyone about the team's situation. If any news leaks out, I will take people to your village to question you."
After saying that, he signaled to Old Jiangtou, who walked up with a smile, took out a few oceans from his arms, bumped them in his hands, and said to the three brothers: "My young master is very particular about people. Since you are leading the way for us,
, even if you work hard on the road, we have to pay for the work."
The three brothers of the Zhao family were overjoyed. They didn't expect that not only had they saved their lives, but they had not traveled in vain, this young master was so benevolent and righteous.
At that moment, Zhao Dahu took the three oceans with a smile on his face, nodded and bowed and listened to Lao Jiangtou's explanation. Then he happily said goodbye to Wan Tiangui, saluted Zhou Wen respectfully, took a team member and returned their shotgun.
and machete, then said goodbye and left.
Zhou Wen didn't have time to warn the Zhao brothers that they should change their minds and never do business without money. He had already seen that these brothers were actually simple men.
The inherent concept of country people is that in later generations, there are still many villages where people collect tolls by pulling up a crossbar on the road. As long as they don't do anything harmful to nature, Zhou Wen can't control it.
Seeing the three brothers disappear at the end of the mountain road, Zhou Wen told Lao Jiangtou the decision to separate paths.
Lao Jiangtou has long seen that this young master is a very independent person, and the means and courage he has shown along the way make him, an old Jianghu, ashamed, so he has long regarded him as the real person in charge, and seeing that he has made up his mind
, I could only agree after a few words of advice.
Zhou Wen then looked at Wan Tiangui and said: "Master Wan, I plan to follow this road to Lengkou tonight. How is your physical strength? Can you still persist?"
Wan Tiangui was feeling very excited right now. He looked at the Zhao brothers who were forcibly captured to lead the way, and were given three oceans of wages before leaving. How could he, a genuine leader like himself, be on the front foot from the beginning to the end?
The person following closely, with this young master’s generous temperament, can he still shortchange his uncle and nephew’s reward?
Now that the young master said this, it is the time to make the best use of yourself. Even if you are not motivated, you have to grit your teeth and hold on. This is a big issue related to whether your family will eat chaff or white flour in the next few years.
And he actually still has some physical strength. You must know that he is traveling with the caravan, and he can ride a horse to regain his strength when encountering flat roads. Although he has walked a mountainous road for a day, for hunters like them in the mountains, it is very difficult to walk in order to catch prey.
Three or two days is also common.
I was about to agree immediately, but when I saw the tired look on my nephew Xiaoshui's face, I hesitated again. I was in my prime, so I wasn't afraid of being tired, but my nephew was still growing up and was so tired that his roots were injured.
But it's not good.
Xiao Shui had been following Zhang Xiaoping and the others to the front station, and he was not riding a horse. He was really tired from walking on the mountain road for a day.
Zhou Wen was so thoughtful that he saw Wan Tiangui's concerns at a glance, and said with a smile: "Xiao Shui doesn't need to follow him, he will follow the caravan to Jianchang Camp to rest, and he will meet us at Lengkou tomorrow."
Wan Tiangui was overjoyed, but also looked at Xiaoshui with some worry, and said to Old Jiangtou: "Uncle Jiang, this kid Xiaoshui hasn't been out much, please help him out on the road."
Zhou Wen also appreciated the uncle's care for his nephew. It could be seen that the family relationship was quite deep, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, if you follow our caravan, you won't treat Xiao Shui badly.
Besides, this kid is brave, I like him too."
Having said this, Zhou Wen walked up to Xiao Shui, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "How about it? When the matter with Lengkou is over, just follow me, and I'll make sure you have a good time."
Although Zhou Wen was joking, he didn't really mean to take Xiao Shui away.
Rural teenagers like Xiao Shui always have an inexplicable timidity towards the outside world due to the limitations of transportation and information in this era, and because they have not read books or received formal education.
As for the old brothers of the first team of the mercenary group, not to mention Miaohua and Zhang Xiaoping, the general team members are the masters who have killed countless people on the battlefield, especially once the weapons are in hand, they will more or less reveal their abilities.
There was a murderous aura.
It is common for an adult to wet his pants in fear under this kind of pressure, let alone a young boy who is not deeply involved in the world.
It is even more commendable that Xiao Shui can bravely stand up and argue with Zhou Wen in front of his uncle.
This kind of courage and temperament are natural. It would be a pity for such people not to be soldiers.
Xiao Shui was blushing by Zhou Wen's compliments and affectionate actions. He just lowered his head and did not dare to speak. In fact, it was impossible to say that he had no intention in his heart. This young master, who was only a few years older than him, led a group of people who were not afraid of anything.
It is impossible not to envy those younger generations who are not afraid of anything.
Which young man at this age doesn't have the dream of going out into the outside world, and who doesn't want to be able to show off in front of others? Now there is an opportunity right in front of him.
What's more, this young master is generous and benevolent. Not only does he have a temperament that he can only look up to, but he also has a sense of intimacy, just like his big brother, making people trust him.
Moreover, the brother named Ye Zi was also very good to me. On the road, he even let me, who had been envious for a long time, play with the gun on his body. He also promised to find opportunities to shoot himself a few times when the situation got cold.
But since he was a child, his parents and uncle had made the decision. How could he make a decision immediately? The entanglements and hesitations in his heart were not known to outsiders.
