Chapter 36: Hidden II

When the rumbling sound came, Qian Xiaobao was lazily shoveling the ground.

It has been more than half a month since he came to the small village of Xitong. Thirty acres of wasteland have been opened with the help of all the men in the village.

"The harvest of land reclamation in the first year will not be very good. There will be a lot of weeds. It will be great if the land becomes mature in two years." The eldest brother of the Liu family said very well.

"Thirty acres of land, I want to exhaust me!" Qian Xiaobao said in frustration.

All the men looked at Qian Xiaobao with a smile on their faces but looked at him with some contempt.

After this period, they all felt good about Haruji Kono, who is versatile and generous in Northeastern people, and Aunt Sun.

But they shook their heads at Qian Xiaobao in their hearts.

In the hearts of these people, hard work is the basic quality of being a human being. However, they obviously cannot see this in Qian Xiaobao.

I'm clamoring for hardship and tiredness all day long, and working in a simple and sloppy manner.

In a Northeast dialect, people who are not serious about working and living completely deny Qian Xiaobao.

Hearing the rumbling sound, Qian Xiaobao threw down his hoe and ran towards the riverside.

The Ussuri River has opened.

Spring returns to the earth, and the thick ice layer on the Ussuri River melts and shatters. Pieces of huge ice chasing each other on the river surface, colliding with each other from time to time, making a rumbling sound, rolling north along the river water.

More than a hundred meters away from Qian Xiaobao's standing, Lao Jiangtou and a peddler who was walking in the village were also watching Liubing.

"Who is that kid? Why haven't you seen it before?" asked the peddler.

"The grandparents and grandchildren have just moved here. He and his grandmother." Lao Jiangtou replied.

"Is there any problem?" asked the peddler.

Lao Jiangtou didn't answer.

"One is an old lady, and the other is a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. There should be no problem, right?" the peddler asked and answered.

Lao Jiangtou still didn't answer.

In winter, you can pass through the Ussuri River everywhere. Japanese people are unable to defend themselves. However, after the weather is warm, there are swamps everywhere. There are only a few roads that can be passed through, which is easier for the Japanese to control.

Especially after heavy rain, the river floods. It is very likely that there is a terrain within a dozen miles. People accidentally fall into it and there is no trace of it.

At this time, it is very important for guides who are familiar with the situation. They can avoid the layers of Japanese levels and find a way in the swamp.

The peddler came, and everyone in the village watched the fun. They all enjoyed it and were satisfied when they saw it. Only Haruchi Kono bought a thimble and a few threads.

Women can’t do without these things even when sewing and repairing them.

"Come to me if you want to use it." Haruzhi Kono said.

The other three women in the village like this generous and cheerful Aunt Sun.

"After opening the river, you won't have to worry about fish eating in the future." Haruzhi Kono said as if she was talking to herself, smoking her cigarette.

Among the major monsters in the Northeast, there is a big girl smoking a pipe.

The other three women were also doing needlework while smoking their pipes.

"Whose family belongs to the slash by the river?" Haruzhi Kono seemed to ask casually.

"It's Lao Jiang's head." Lao Wan's mother-in-law replied.

"He still went to the river to fish?" Haruzhi Kono asked again.

"There are some fish here! People can catch fish by standing in the water with baskets! If they can't sell it, how much can they eat by themselves?" said the wife of the old Liu family.

The stroke was not very useful when listening to her words.

"In a few days, the geese and wild ducks flew back. There were everywhere by the water and in the wild!" The wife of the old Liu family continued.

"What a great place." Haruzhi Kono sighed.

The Anti-Japanese United Army and the Soviet Union frequently traveled from the Ussuri River. According to reliable information, the place near Xitong is where these people often traveled.

It is easy to forcibly move people here, but this cannot prevent people from passing through the traffic line.

Haruchi Kono came here and was preparing to open a large net to catch big fish coming from the other side.

She now aimed her suspicion at the six men in Xitong.

"I see that the terrain of Lao Jiangtou's house is the highest. It will definitely not be flooded when it is flooded. Was he the first to choose a good place?" Haruzhi Kono asked with envy.

The three women actually looked at each other and smiled at each other.

Couldn’t Aunt Sun have any ideas about Lao Jiangtou being so interested? Is she trying to find a back-in-law?

When encountering such a thing, women react the fastest, or even overreact.

"It was the earliest Uncle Jiang who came here. He is a kind-hearted person! He has been so pitiful all these years." The wife of the old Liu family said with a smile on her lips.

Women spread news faster than electric boxes! In the afternoon, everyone in the small village of five families knew that Aunt Sun was interested in Lao Jiangtou.

When the sun sets, Qian Xiaobao returns home with a hoe.

He said with a smile: "Everyone said you want to live with me, Uncle Jiang! I didn't expect you to be a sixty-year-old lady with a lot of fun!"

"Shut up! Chinese women like to pass on their wives' tongue the most!" Haruzhi Kono said angrily.

"They are all really kind people! They will arrive soon after something is heard! It's not like some people." Qian Xiaobao said.

"Shut up! You must keep your mouth tighter in the future! If you dare to show off your words, I will let Zhou Xingfu peel you! I will never let go of the people in this village!" Haruzhi Kono threatened.

Qian Xiaobao shut up and stopped talking.

"Tomorrow you will go to the riverside to sit on the scratch and try it. See how many people it can carry." Haruzhi Kono whispered.

Qian Xiaobao immediately understood that Haruzhi Kawano had already suspected Lao Jiangtou. As long as the Japanese were suspected, they would be peeled or even killed.

"Impossible! He is over sixty." Qian Xiaobao said.

"It's impossible to be in my sixties? I'm also 60." Haruzhi Kono said coldly.

The next day, Qian Xiaobao pretended to be fun and rushed to the riverside to watch the old ginger head repair the scratch made of birch bark.

Qian Xiaobao felt that this three-meter-long row could barely carry three people. It would be fine if people grabbed the boat in the water and helped six or seven people.

It doesn't take much effort to drift along the river downwards, which is hundreds of meters away, and it doesn't take long to reach the other side of the river. All that needs to be avoided is the Japanese patrol team.

If the Japanese discovered it, there would be no way to hide on the river. What awaits them is a dead end.

"Uncle Jiang, is the birch bark solid? You should be careful. It is not a joke to fall into the river." Qian Xiaobao said.

Lao Jiang raised her head and looked at Qian Xiaobao.
