Wei Ran said with a smile, "Of course there are box cannons, and there are enough cannons for these young men to make themselves rich."

Carrying the candle that was blown out by the cold wind, he got into the den filled with animal skins. Wei Ran closed the door, lit the candle again and looked around. Then he lit two kerosene lamps hanging on the load-bearing pillars and adjusted them.

reached maximum brightness.

With the light of the kerosene lamp, he was able to see clearly that there were a lot of animal skins here. He even saw more than one tiger skin, several bear skins, and even blankets sewn with beautiful fox skins.

He also saw that in the corner of the earthen kang, there was a small pile of used jade shoes, as well as animal skin coats and hats that were ripped off from someone's body.

Wei Ran opened the water tanks in the corner and looked at them. Wei Ran shook his head and sighed. One of these water tanks contained more than half of the solidified white grease, and the other was filled with frozen, hard animal meat.

In the remaining large water tanks, there are either pickled sauerkraut or pickle lumps that can be used as salt, or bundles of vermicelli, strings of dried mushrooms and dried chili peppers, which are almost even with the edge of the tank.

Complete corn noodles, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other items.

Compared with these "farm dishes", the big vat at the end contained various medicinal materials that Wei Ran knew or didn't recognize, such as ginseng.

There is no need to think about it. Whether it is the animal skins or most of the things in the tank, even the wild boar cubs in the den where they were imprisoned, I am afraid that 99% of them were snatched from the hands of hunters.

Even within the bandit community, robbing poor people is definitely a fucking job that cannot be put on the stage and is shameless.

Having said that, it did not delay him at all. He took out the sleigh from the metal book and threw a bear skin and the beautiful fiery red fox skin blanket into the car. He also did not forget to fill the box with frozen food.

of hard animal meat and a few pickles, pickled radish, and filled the gaps with stick noodles.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He even stuffed two ginseng sticks wrapped in birch bark and a bunch of red peppers into the second layer of the food box.

Seeing that the sleigh could be put away smoothly, Wei Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

When he said goodbye to Tian Xiaohu and the unconscious girl Hongxia, he left behind all the supplies he could on the sleigh.

Now that he could make up for the losses on the sleigh, he was naturally happy, but he could not help but secretly frown at the false generosity of the metal book.

The good deeds of giving charcoal in the dog days, ice in the first month of the year, and crucian carp soup in the back are only possible for those living ancestors who have no bottom line.

Carrying a kerosene lantern and leaving this den that was considered a warehouse, Wei Ran walked back and couldn't help but start to wonder about another thing, who had just shot from a distance.

Could it be that Zhao Jinyu or Unakan came here?

While Wei Ran was thinking about it secretly, Hu Bazhi also walked out of the shack, "I just asked, the people around this place call it Hu Naogou. It was a bandit den in the early Republic of China, so it got such a name.

About 20 miles to the southeast is the river ditch. It is separated by several mountain ridges and is far from the main road. You don't have to worry about the Japanese coming over for a while."

"Who do you think the guy who just got shot was?"

Wei Ran greeted the other party into the shack and asked, "Could it be Zhao Jinyu and Unakan?"

In just a short time, the four Qiu brothers had stripped off everything they could from the bandits and were busy carrying the bodies out.

“Not sure”

Hu Bazhi said ambiguously, "I'm sure it's true."

"How about we shout a few times and ask?"

Wei Ran suggested, "You take the four brothers and hide them in the shack next to them. I'll stand in the open and yell. If they..."

“No need to bother”

Before Hu Bazhi finished speaking, he had already opened his mouth and shouted loudly, "The sky is high, the wind is cold, the snowflakes are falling, what kind of god will come to visit?"

"Is this useful?" Wei Ran asked in a low voice.

"it works"

Hu Bazhi said confidently, and then added, "Unless I meet a foreigner like you."

Hearing this, Wei Ran grinned and was about to say something, when a little fire lit up in the direction at the end of his field of vision.

"Are they Brother Wei and Brother Hu?" Zhao Jinyu asked loudly, hiding in the shadow where the fire could not reach.

"Jinyu! Come here quickly!" Wei Ran shouted loudly, "I knew it must be you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, and before Zhao Jinyu had time to respond, Unakan's exclamations and curses came from behind the fire.

With a series of snorts, the biting black horse ran over with Unakan's roe deer-horn hat in its mouth, and thrust its big head into Wei Ran's arms affectionately.

"Come here!"

Wei Ran grabbed the hat and shouted loudly, "Unakan, your hat is in my hand."

This sentence was tantamount to a code to prove safety. Soon, Zhao Jinyu and Unakan were riding their horses and driving the reindeer sledge and ran over. Behind them, there was an extra car who didn't know where it came from.

mule sledge.

"Did you just shoot?" The two groups of people asked the same question almost at the same time.

"I killed two men in the water and picked up a big animal." Zhao Jinyu dismounted and asked at the same time, "Where are you?"

"We've got a bunch of stinking kidnappers." Hu Bazhi smiled and extended the invitation, "Come in and warm yourself up."

“Come to this den”

Wei Ran greeted them to the den that was also lit with a clay stove, and at the same time he did not forget to say, "Boss Qiu, you four brothers have worked hard, bring two kang tables over here, and get some pine oil candles."

"immediately!"

Boss Qiu, who was carrying the corpse, responded cheerfully, called to the other three brothers, dropped the corpse they were carrying, and got into the hole in the ground.

"Let's go"

Wei Ran said that he had tied up the biting horse, pushed open the wooden door of the pit, and was the first to walk in carrying a kerosene lamp.

After inviting everyone to sit down on the exceptionally warm earthen kang, the two groups of people also briefly communicated what had happened.

Unexpectedly, the first person to discover Hu Bazhi's traces was not Wei Ran or Zhao Jinyu, but Unakan, who had no idea of ​​the gathering location.

This clever Oroqen female hunter even witnessed Wei Ran being kidnapped, and hanging from a distance behind, she found the hilltop where the bandits were hiding.

At about the same time, the biting horse also smelled the scent and found Zhao Jinyu, who had just gotten rid of the Japanese.

Zhao Jinyu also opened fire from a distance, killing and wounding the bandits chasing the horses, and asked about the situation in the bandits' den.

Needless to say what happened next, the two men didn't waste any time after they met, and took advantage of the darkness to successfully deal with the bandits who were on sentry duty. However, that shot was a last resort shot in order to kill the dog that rushed towards them.

After they finished talking about the cause and effect and what they found in the bandit's den, Boss Qiu also brought the three brothers to deliver the kang table and pine oil candles.

"You have worked so hard, go ahead and move those bandits into the woods to feed the wolves." At this time, Hu Bazhi continued to instruct the Qiu brothers, "Remember to throw them away."

Boss Qiu, who already had a box cannon and a Kowloon belt on his waist, did not doubt his presence and simply greeted the three brothers to leave the warm underground nest and continue their work.

"Have something to say?"

Wei Ran politely declined the other party's dry cigarette bag, took out the cigarette case, took out a cigarette, held it in his mouth, lit it and asked.

"There are some words"

Hu Bazhi pondered for a moment and then said, "I think this bandit's den needs to eat, drink and drink. What do you think about letting the four Qiu brothers stay?"

"Are you planning to let them fall into the grass?" Zhao Jinyu asked with a smile.

"When I went to pick up Boss Qiu and Xiao Si'er during the day, Boss Qiu said he wanted to follow us to fight the Japanese." Hu Bazhi sighed.

Hearing this, Zhao Jinyu, who originally planned to say something, opened his mouth and fell silent.

"They are only sixteen or seventeen"

Hu Bazhi sighed and said, "It's not worth following us to your death."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "How about letting them go to Squad Leader Xiaohu?" Wei Ran asked.

"You think I didn't say that? They have to believe it!" Hu Bazhi sighed, "I blame Captain Zhao for talking about this."

"Blame my brother? Why?" Zhao Jinyu asked in astonishment.

"When Captain Zhao went to their village, Boss Qiu and the others wanted to join the Anti-League. At that time, wherever there was an Anti-League, the black soil was three feet red. Who wouldn't want to join the Anti-League?"

Hu Bazhi said helplessly, "But how old was he at that time? Captain Zhao lied to him and told them to help take care of the wounded first, and when they come back, they will be admitted to join the Anti-Japanese Alliance."

After saying this, the room became completely quiet.

"It's been three years of waiting."

Hu Bazhi sighed, "These silly boys have been waiting for Captain Zhao to come back and take them to fight the Japanese.

Tell me, can they believe us and go find Tian Xiaohu, who they have never seen before? What’s more... I’m afraid it will be even more difficult for Xiaohu..."

"Brother Hu, if you ask them to stay, will they be willing to stay?" Unakan asked.

When this question was raised, everyone in the diwozi fell into silence again.

"Sixteen or seventeen is not too young."

Unakan threw a few big firewood into the clay stove and continued, "If you stay as a gangster at this age, you will be swallowed up by the surrounding mountains within a few days.

Participating in the Anti-League is dangerous, but it is always a way to survive. If it doesn't work out, just take them to Mao Zi's side when the time comes."

"Let me talk to Boss Qiu again."

Hu Bazhi sighed, changed the topic and said, "Looking at the weather, it's probably going to snow in the middle of the night, so I might as well rest here."

"There's a lot of food in the nest over there," Wei Ran said proactively, "There's also a lot of animal skins."

"Let's go take a look together." Hu Bazhi stood up as he spoke.
