Chapter 965 Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points for Attention
Jiang Wenxing clasped his hands tightly, thanked Yue Jiayu gratefully, then quickly turned around and ran towards his car.
His steps seemed hurried, because he knew time was of the essence and he had to get back as soon as possible to make contact with the people there.
Xiao Tian and Zhao Huashan, who had just left the city, were each pulling a wooden cart, slowly walking towards a dilapidated temple outside the city.
Inside that dilapidated temple, the hungry Lao Guo and his companions sat together, racking their brains for a way to earn some money to buy food to fill their stomachs.
They were so hungry that their stomachs were practically sticking to their backs. If they continued on their way home like this, they would probably starve to death on the road before they even got there.
Moreover, there are hundreds of girls in the temple who have been violated by the Japanese soldiers. The remaining girls do not want to go home. They cannot let these girls die here like this!
Just then, a man sitting at the temple entrance suddenly shouted, "Brother Guo, it's Comrade Tian! They've arrived with their wooden cart!"
This shout made Lao Guo and the others stand up and quickly walk outside.
Sure enough, they saw two people pulling a wooden cart coming this way, so they immediately quickened their pace to meet them and prepare to help.
"Hey comrades, where are you headed?" Old Guo asked curiously as he helped push the cart.
Zhao Huashan replied with a smile, "We came here to find you. Nanhai said you might rest here, so we came over."
When Lao Guo heard that it was someone looking for them, his eyes turned a little red.
The other people helping to push the cart smelled the aroma of the cakes in the bamboo basket on the cart, and their stomachs growled even more heartily.
Xiao Tian was walking along the road with a bamboo basket on her back when she suddenly heard a rumbling sound coming from the stomach of the man next to her.
He turned his head and saw that the man looked embarrassed, as if he was a little ashamed.
Xiao Tian smiled and comforted her, "Don't be embarrassed. People need to eat, otherwise they'll get hungry."
As he spoke, he quickened his pace, walked to the entrance of the dilapidated temple, and then stopped the car.
Xiao Tian turned around and opened the lid of the bamboo basket on the cart, which was filled with large flatbreads.
He said to everyone warmly, "Come on, let's fill our stomachs first before we talk!"
Looking at the golden pancakes, their aroma was irresistible, and Zhang Chaoyang felt a lump in his throat.
He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "How much did you spend on all these pancakes? We're afraid we can't pay you back."
Zhao Huashan quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "We're all brothers, there's no need to worry about repaying. Let's all eat our fill first, and we'll figure out a solution together if we encounter any difficulties."
Xie Guanlin stared silently at the pancake in his hand, tears streaming down his face.
He recalled the difficult days when he fought the Japanese devils underground. Back then, he hadn't shed a single tear, his mind filled with thoughts of defeating them. But now, he was sobbing uncontrollably over these few pancakes.
This is truly a godsend! Without this food, so many of them would probably starve to death, even if they didn't die at the hands of the Japanese.
Looking at the girls inside, Zhao Huashan couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
He said to the people who were eating, "We don't know the women inside, so they certainly won't easily believe me and Xiaotian."
"To avoid unnecessary trouble, I think it would be better if one of you who knows them delivered the food."
Two people immediately stepped forward from the crowd, offering to deliver the food.
The two of them carried a basket full of food inside.
Xiao Tian quickly reminded the two men, "Remember to bring this basket out for us!"
You know, making a basket these days is no easy task.
No one except Jiang Jiyun himself is allowed to touch the bamboo in Xiaoyun's space.
After all, the mother and cub pandas that Xiaoyun kept in the bamboo forest had already made that bamboo forest their territory. Anyone who dared to touch those bamboos would definitely be taught a lesson by those two big guys.
These baskets were made from bamboo that Xiaoyun had painstakingly lured away the two big guys, and then they secretly cut down.
Zhao Huashan opened the last two baskets in the car and said, "There's water and bowls here, but not many bowls, so everyone can take turns drinking."
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Zhao Huashan finally spoke again: "We are both from the New Fourth Army, and this is all we can do to help you now. There is some money here, not much, but if you divide it among so many of you, each person should get two silver dollars."
After saying that, Xiao Tian and Zhao Huashan took out their baskets. Zhao Huashan turned to Lao Guo and said, "You can divide this money among yourselves. As for what to do next, whether you leave here to go back to your hometown or choose to settle down here, it's up to you."
Zhang Chaoyang couldn't help but recall how Nationalist officers had tried to recruit them into the Nationalist army, and how a large majority of them had chosen to join in order to survive.
However, none of the more than two hundred of them were willing to do so, so they came here together to rest for the time being.
Those people might give them food and travel expenses, and then drive them away empty-handed.
Zhang Chaoyang hesitated for a moment, then finally asked, "Don't you want to recruit us?"
When Zhao Huashan heard him ask this, he was taken aback at first, then smiled and shook his head.
He explained to everyone, “Our team has always been comprised of volunteers. We don’t offer you any high-ranking positions or generous salaries; sometimes we can’t even guarantee our basic needs. So, we really have nothing to offer you.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at the two baskets and said, "These two baskets of money are the last things we carried out from underground. Now that they are being used for your travel expenses, it's not a waste of our effort to carry them out."
Xie Guanlin had heard of the New Fourth Army and knew that it was a disciplined force.
They never took a single needle or thread from ordinary people, and they never allowed anyone to harass women. This noble character filled Xie Guanlin with respect.
So he asked Zhao Huashan, "Could you sing that song about discipline in your unit?"
Zhao Huashan was slightly taken aback, but then he understood what Xie Guanlin meant and replied with a smile, "Oh, you mean the 'Three Main Rules of Discipline and Eight Points for Attention'!"
At Zhao Huashan's prompting, Xiao Tian began to sing the song: "Every revolutionary soldier must remember the Three Main Rules of Discipline and the Eight Points for Attention. First, obey all commands in all actions; only by moving in unison can we achieve victory..."
Everyone looked up and listened intently to Xiaotian's singing.
Hsieh Kuan-lin was also immersed in the lyrics, carefully savoring each line.
After Xiaotian finished singing, Xie Guanlin pondered his words thoughtfully, then asked seriously, "Can your team really do these things?"
Zhao Huashan answered confidently, "Of course! Every one of us in the team can do it."
He looked around at the people watching them and continued, "We came from the masses. We joined the fight not for high positions or wealth, but to prevent our families from becoming slaves of a conquered nation, and to ensure that our descendants do not have to kneel and beg for survival!"
