Chapter 56: Waiting Before Departure

Zhang Jinquan tucked his fat trouser legs into his boots like Luo Ying, then tied his shoelaces and learned to tie his leggings, and walked a few laps in place, which was indeed much lighter than before. Zhang Jinquan's clothes, military boots and backpack were all given to him by Zhao Zhi, and everything was the same as Luo Ying and them, and they were not treated differently from each other, which made Zhang Jinquan can't help but feel a little closer to Zhao Zhi, and he is not as afraid of him as he was yesterday.

When I returned home yesterday, I didn't have time to put down the clothes and things I was holding, Zhang Jinquan was taught a lesson by my sister-in-law, who took care of my sister-in-law very much, Zhang Jinquan was respectful in my heart, so when my sister-in-law taught herself with a broom, Zhang Jinquan just faced each other bitterly, but he didn't dare to resist. Yan Wudao, who still sent himself back, couldn't look at it, and went up to persuade a few words, and the angry sister-in-law could be regarded as letting herself go. Brother Zhang Jinsheng stood aside with his youngest son in his arms, although he didn't ask about his whereabouts last night, but the worry in his eyes was still obvious.

Zhang Jinquan knew that his brother and sister-in-law were good and worried about him, but his sister-in-law beat herself violently in front of Yan Wudao, which made Zhang Jinquan's face a little unbearable. It was his sister-in-law who beat him, although Zhang Jinquan was holding his breath, he was also honest. The things that Zhao Zhi brought home for Zhang Jinquan were not only clothes, but also some canned food and sugar cubes, which his brother and sister-in-law had never seen. Zhang Jinquan was a little proud, I'm afraid that even the village chief Zhang Dapao's family may not have them.

Zhao Zhi asked Yan Wudao to accompany Zhang Jinquan home, the main purpose was to be able to move Zhang Jinquan's brother and sister-in-law, and agreed to let him be a guide for him for a few days. To say that the surrounding counties and mountains are familiar, in this area really can't find anyone who can compare to Zhang Jinquan, don't look at Zhang Jinquan is only 15 years old this year, but this kid followed his brother Zhang Jinsheng into the mountains to beg for a life at the age of 8, and after the age of 13, he carried a soil gun in the mountains and forests of several surrounding counties, and became famous with a good marksmanship, which was called a shot by the hunters.

Sister-in-law Yu knows a few words, although her surname is spicy, she is also a very knowledgeable woman, and she is full of praise for her uncle's good marksmanship. When the county's security regiment recruited soldiers last year, Yu stopped Zhang Jinquan alive and dead, claiming that the little uncle was still young, and he would ruin his body if he joined the army early. At that time, there were still many people in Xiaozhangzhuang who were sorry for Zhang Jinquan, but the security regiment was paid every month, and there were quick guns to fight, and those who were in charge of food and housing were replaced with military uniforms twice a year.

Zhang Jinquan gave Zhao Zhi a guide, his brother Zhang Jinsheng was strongly opposed, he obviously felt that those people who lived in the drying field were not ordinary people, and it was estimated that they were not bandits and horse thieves were also similar powerful characters, and the people in Zhuangzi had seen guns on those people more than once, and they were better and newer than the guns of the county security regiment. Brother does things for such a person, and when the brother is naturally not at ease, the corners of Yan Wudao's mouth are foaming, it is a disagreement between life and death.

Zhang Jinquan, who was playing with his nephew, was a little dumbfounded, thinking that it would be his sister-in-law who disagreed, but he didn't expect it to be his brother. He had already prepared to prevaricate his sister-in-law's words, and it seemed that he was useless, so Zhang Jinquan, who was holding his mouth, had to look at his sister-in-law pitifully, hoping that his sister-in-law could help him say good things to his brother. Sister-in-law Yu was kneading dough and preparing for lunch, and the brother-in-law didn't come back last night, but Zhang Jinzhao, who had a bruise on his face, ran to say that his brother-in-law was left in the tent over there, and told them not to worry, and to come back the next day.

Yu Shi and Zhang Jinsheng didn't sleep well all night, and it was easy to see their brother-in-law coming home, but it was those people in the drying field who asked their brother-in-law to do something for them. Although there is a lot of remuneration, Yu still doesn't dare to come down immediately, his own family is just an honest and responsible villager, those people are from outside, and they are not residents of the village who know the roots, Yu is afraid that the little uncle will be deceived.

Yan Wudao is not a good lobbyist, but his rich experience in the rivers and lakes makes him very good at looking at his eyes, especially the doubts of Yu and Zhang Jinsheng. In the end, he invited the village chief Zhang Dacang, like this kind of relatively closed mountain village, the village chief is often the emperor of the soil, and sometimes can decide the life and death of the villagers. Yan Wudao moved to the village chief as a lobbyist, obviously very correct, with Zhang Dacang as a guarantor, Yu and Zhang Jinsheng finally agreed to Zhang Jinquan as Zhao Zhi's guide. After Yan Wudao and the village chief left, Yu and Zhang Jinsheng grabbed Zhang Jinquan and talked for an afternoon, until the light was lit in the house, and then they let go of Zhang Jinquan, who was dizzy.

Zhang Jinquan, who went to bed early after dinner, suddenly lost his sleepiness, his mind was full of longing and expectation for tomorrow's dawn, and Zhang Jinquan, who was just a big child, didn't know how to control his emotions, so until midnight, he still turned over on the bed with his eyes open, until the sky began to shine, he still didn't fall asleep. The big rooster in the house crowed all over the place, and Zhang Jinquan, who was swollen with two eyes, got up from the bed, and he wanted to fill the two water tanks in the house with water before his sister-in-law got up, and he had to chop enough firewood for the past few days.

Zhang Jinquan was sent to the side of the drying field by his brother and sister-in-law, until Yan Wudao invited them into the tent for breakfast with a smile, and his brother and sister-in-law reluctantly went home. Zhang Jinquan, who had been forced by his sister-in-law to eat four eggs at home, was pulled by Yan Wudao to eat a large bowl of noodle broth, until he couldn't eat anymore, and Yan Wudao let him go. Since it was breakfast time, Zhao Zhi's people were in the big tent, Zhang Jinquan could be regarded as having really seen everyone, and the simplicity of the mountain people made him win everyone's love, at least the ghostly Luo Ying would not be teasing him for the time being.

"This backpack is for you, there is some food and water in it, so that in the mountains, we won't worry about food and drinking water" Luo Ying carried an army green backpack and handed it to Zhang Jinquan, the canvas surface has been coated with a thick layer of hot wax, so as to ensure that the contents of the backpack are dry even on rainy days. Zhang Jinquan followed Luo Ying's movements, loosened the tether and opened the backpack, which contained canned food, salt, sugar cubes and flatbread, and in a small cloth bag at the bottom of the backpack, Zhang Jinquan actually found a folding knife and a wooden spoon.

All the people were dressed, but Zhao Zhi had not yet ordered to leave, he was still waiting, he had to wait for Meng San to come back, and only after making sure that those missionaries were safe and healthy, Zhao Zhi would carry out the following actions. If there is an accident with the target person, Zhao Zhi has the right to cancel the operation, which was agreed with Hunter before setting off from Shanghai, and Zhao Zhi can't take the task without the target person and joke with his brother's surname.
