Chapter 575: Being a Naughty Child in Troubled Times 38
"I don't know if other comrades are as lucky as I am. I would like to trouble you to help find the whereabouts of other comrades."
After saying this, he sighed and then added: "If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body."
Wang Ganyun patted his good arm and said soothingly, "Don't worry, just stay here and recover. I'll have people look for the other comrades. There are almost no wild beasts in the mountains here now. These little guys go up the mountain every day and have been driven deep into the mountains. As long as they don't run into the deep mountains, we should be able to find them soon."
Upon hearing this, Yu Hui also thought of those children before. They all looked energetic and did not look like children from the village. They were even stronger than the children in the town. If most of them did not have dark skin, he would have thought they were the young masters and young ladies of some landlord's family.
So he asked curiously, "Do all the kids here practice martial arts? Is it a family tradition?"
Could this village be passed down from some ancient martial arts family?
Wang Ganyun nodded and shook his head, "It's not a family tradition, it was all taught by Master Xiao, the one who treated your injury just now.
Master Xiao's Kung Fu is really top-notch. I have never seen anyone who can rival him, and all the disciples he taught are also very powerful.
Let’s not talk about others, just look at my two great-grandsons. The older one can easily defeat ten people, and the younger one can also defeat four or five adults.”
Yu Hui was surprised when he heard this. "Then what is the origin of this Master Xiao?"
Wang Ganyun: "I don't know the details, but I heard that he was the disciple of a hermit in the mountains. When he came down the mountain, he saw people from our village encountering wild boars. He killed each wild boar with one punch, saving the villagers. Later, he stayed with us and set up a martial arts class.
He said that he came down the mountain just to pass on his kung fu skills and he didn't have anywhere else to go, so our two villages kept him there. Children from nearby villages could go to him to learn martial arts, and he only charged two dollars a year.
However, the children from other villages only learned for a few months or at most half a year, and then stopped learning after learning a few tricks. Only some children from our two villages persisted.
The children you just saw have persisted until now, and their kung fu is pretty good. Otherwise, we wouldn't be at ease with them running up the mountain every day. You know, there used to be tigers, leopards and wild boars on the mountain.
Now, because they run to the mountains every day, we rarely see those big wild animals. Now if we want to hunt wild boars, we have to go deep into the mountains to find them."
Yu Hui's eyes flashed when he heard this. These were all good talents, especially since some of them were descendants of his comrades. If they could all be developed into his team, it would be a great help!
Wang Ganyun knew what he was thinking from his expression. He shook his head and sighed, "Don't even think about it. It's not easy to develop here."
"Why?"
Yu Hui asked doubtfully.
Wang Ganyun explained to him: "Xiao Bao has a very good relationship with the Xiong family. The young and strong men here are all under the command of Xiong Laohei, the head of the Xiong family. Xiong Laohei was previously the deputy commander of the Blue Army Independent Regiment, and is now Commander Lin's adjutant.
You should know that the Lin family and the Xiao family are going to get married. They will be one family from now on. How should we develop?
And this bunch of brats, not only are they led by the two from our family, but also by the two kids from the Xiong family. It's not just because their fathers are powerful, but also because those two kids have the best kung fu among Master Xiao's disciples. These brats all admire the strong."
He sighed and continued, "There's one more thing I haven't told anyone. I've been keeping it in my heart for a while and it's really uncomfortable. That fair-skinned little girl just now is actually not a child of the Xiong family. She's very likely the orphan of a martyr from our area."
"Oh? What do you say?"
Yu Hui's originally depressed expression immediately became energetic again. This might be a breakthrough.
Then Wang Ganyun told him about Xiao Yun's parents entrusting their child to the care of their parents before their death, and how Xiao Yun's appearance and age matched. Adding to that the time when the Xiong family moved in, it was very likely that the couple picked up the child on their way here.
Yu Hui rolled his eyes and said, "If we let that little girl know about her life experience, will she..."
"Stop, the Xiong family dotes on this daughter, even better than their own son. That kid was often chased and beaten by the Xiong family's madam and aunt, but this girl has always been doted on.
You have to know that this child is much more naughty than her brother. Many of her bad ideas are from her. Every time, she leads a group of children to act naughty. But the Xiong family never says anything to her. When others come to their house, they just protect her. They really dote on her.
Moreover, this is the orphan of our martyr. We should be happy that he has such good living conditions. How can we have the heart to destroy them and drag the child into hatred.
Let her think that she is the biological daughter of the Xiong family. At least for the sacrificed Han couple, it is a comfort that their daughter lives a good life.
After all, Wang Ganyun is an old man in his seventies. He can see things more clearly and be more open-minded than young people. Even though he is a Red Army soldier and is loyal to the Red Army, he will not force his whole family to be like him.
So only he, his son and Dunzi knew about this in the family, no one else knew.
Dunzi knew that it was because the boy was too smart. He had discovered something wrong between him and his grandfather when he was a child, so he had no choice but to tell the truth. Dunzi had no intention of joining in, but just promised to keep it a secret and help cover up.
Of course, this is also because they live relatively well under the rule of County Magistrate Zhao, unlike the villages in other places, which are miserable because of the exploitation from above, so they have the intention to rebel and are easy to incite.
If you want to persuade people who are living a happy life to go against the higher-ups, they will probably think you are a fool who wants to make trouble when he has a good life. That is why he has not been able to develop any people even though he has been lurking here.
Yu Hui was disappointed and ashamed. After all, they were all good seedlings and it was such a pity. But he also felt ashamed that he had just tried to take advantage of an innocent child, so his expression was very conflicted for a while.
When Xiao Yun heard this, she raised her eyebrows in surprise. She thought Wang Ganyun would agree to Yu Hui's proposal. After all, when she hypnotized him, she knew that he was loyal to the Red Army.
The other party has not taken any action over the years. She always thought it was because of Lao Hei. The other party was afraid that the higher-ups would find out and cause trouble for the village, so he never came to find her. So that's what he thought.
