Riding back on the horse, Wei Ran took the reins of the mule from Hu Bazhi and walked at the end as usual. At the same time, he reached out and touched the two sacks on the left and right carried on the mule.

Unfortunately, apart from being able to tell that the sack contained a lot of stuff and that the mules had been raised to be strong, he could not tell what was in the sack.

Gradually, the only sound left in the moonlit night was the crunching sound of horses' hooves and mules' hooves trampling on the snow.

Gradually, the howl of the cold wind sounded in the moonlit night, and hidden in the sound of the biting wind were the cries of Boss Qiu, Yongwu, and Xiao Sier.

Walking and walking, walking and walking, I don’t know when, the moon above my head was finally covered by dark clouds. I don’t know when, the cold wind gradually mixed with more and more snowflakes, getting bigger and bigger.

Finally, as the sky became brighter and brighter, Unakan led them to a stop on the top of a ridge covered with pine trees.

"Just rest here," Unakan said. "The wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier. It may be able to cover our footprints."

"Then take a rest."

Hu Bazhi glanced at Yongwu who was riding on Wei Ran's biting horse with pity, sighed silently, turned over and dismounted, and helped Xiao Si'er, who had been lying on the horse's back, down.

After tying up their horses and mules, Wei Ran winked at Mr. Qiu, and then pointed at Yong Wu, whose eyes were red.

The latter nodded, held Xiao Si'er in one hand, and Yongwu in the other, walked to the foot of a pine tree in the distance, pulled some pine needles, spread them on the snow, and sat down side by side, whispering something.

The four of Wei Ran looked at each other, each took off the two heavy sacks carried on the mules and rummaged through them.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This first sack is full of fine materials for livestock.

In the second sack, there were two wolfskin blankets, a blue cloth bundle, and a small half bag of sweet potatoes. One of the sacks carried by the mule led by Unakan did not contain sweet potatoes, but it contained a roll with Japanese

Rolls of light canvas.

What Zhao Jinyu and Hu Bazhi dug out was a small half bag of coal, plus a copper brazier with ashes remaining. What they dug out of the sack originally carried by the mule led by Qiu Yongwu was

It's more than half a bag of frozen fish.

Wei Ran burst into laughter as he opened the blue cloth bundle. In addition to a palm-sized wine gourd and a stack of good citizen certificates, the bundle also contained a large cake wrapped in straw paper. In addition to half a pickle lump, the large cake contained

There were also two unshelled pickled duck eggs, a greasy chicken leg, a bunch of dried chili peppers and two silver coins.

He almost subconsciously guessed that this might be a beard from a certain mountaintop who noticed that several people were being chased by the Japs within his sphere of influence. He might even have gotten the news just in time for dinner.

Whether it's conscience, kindness, or just the "professional ethics" of a professional bandit who wants to make some money out of the Japanese.

The bandit leader collected some certificates of good citizenship from his minions that they had no need for, and arranged for someone to pack some dinner for them. He also put a few silver coins in them and ordered the people who responded to them to prepare extra

An animal and corresponding supplies were delivered to them, and at the same time, they also lured away the Japanese who were chasing behind them.

The truth may be this, or there may be another hidden secret, but no matter what, those gangsters saved them and carefully helped them prepare food, drink and bedding.

It's a pity...

It's a pity that Qiu Yongwen didn't survive...

In this regret that could only be buried deep in their hearts, everyone suppressed their gratitude deep in their hearts.

There may be traitors, puppet soldiers, and bandits in this land who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the Japanese, like Sun Da in charge of the plate.

But this black land has never lacked anti-union fighters like Hu Bazhi, ethnic minority hunters like Unakan, or ordinary people like the Qiu brothers who have lost their families and are only left with the hatred of their country and family.

There is no shortage of thieves with beards who dare to kidnap the enemy’s tickets!

Just like Hu Bazhi said, this black land was dyed three feet deep by the Anti-League!

In their wild thoughts, everyone unfolded the roll of thin canvas that Unakan had pulled out, and under Wei Ran's command, they built a tent around a pine tree that was large enough for all of them to hide in.

They each carried the dug out wolf skin blanket and got into the tent to lay it out. Hu Bazhi and Zhao Jinyu were busy feeding the animals. Wei Ran chose another tree and climbed to the canopy, and once again set up the large telescope for observation.

of the surrounding situation.

Unakan called Boss Qiu and three others into the tent, and asked them to help light the brazier while comforting Yongwu who was crying along the way.

Not long after, as the flames ignited in the brazier, the three young men who had been sad all the way reluctantly ate some food, then huddled on a wolfskin blanket, wiped their tears and fell asleep with difficulty.

Not long after, Hu Bazhi and Zhao Jinyu also returned to the tent, followed closely by Wei Ran.

"Did you see anything?" Hu Bazhi tore off half a piece of hot pancake and handed it to Wei Ran.

"No"

Wei Ran shook his head, "I didn't see anything. There were mountain ridges all around. Fortunately, I didn't see any Japanese."

"There's no one behind you, right?" Unakan asked worriedly.

"No"

Wei Ran shook his head, then took a hard bite of the food in his hand, and said vaguely while chewing, "I'll be on guard."

"I'll do it for you," Zhao Jinyu said matter-of-factly.

"Then just the two of us"

Wei Ran said first, "Brother Hu and Unakan will wait until the next break to keep watch."

"That's okay," Hu Bazhi replied absently.

"We have to guard the three of them from now on."

Zhao Jinyu lowered his voice and said, and the other three people also subconsciously looked at Qiu Qiu, who was already asleep.

"Let each of the three of us take one."

Hu Bazhi came back to his senses and said, "Have an extra horse to help carry things, so we can run faster."

"Then it's settled." Zhao Jinyu looked at Yongwu, who still had tears in the corners of Yan's eyes, "Even if it's a round, it won't be their turn yet."

"yes..."
