Chapter 131 Pigs, Cattle, and Sheep
Zhao Gang felt that this matter was of great importance and immediately reported the situation to Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong was calm.
He felt that Jia Guier would not defect. If she did, she would have to have mastered the core secrets before escaping, right?
Jia Guier had never seen the Taihang Mountain base, nor had he access to intelligence on the independent column's organization and weapons and equipment.
Therefore, he was just like a villager hanging out in Shipo Township, and he didn't even know as much as the common people who came to the military fortress to build it.
"Old Zhao, just put your mind at ease. If Jia Guier is really unreliable, then you should be thankful that no damage was caused!"
"hope so!"
When night fell, Jia Guier ran to Shipo Township covered in dust and dirt.
"Political Commissar Zhao, I'm back!"
Zhao Gang, who was extremely anxious, felt relieved when he heard that Jia Guier had returned.
"Jia Gui'er, where have you been? Why did you run away without even saying hello?"
Jia Guier grabbed the tea bowl on the table and took a big gulp of water.
"Political Commissar Zhao, I was so excited that I forgot to tell you! I was half asleep yesterday and I dreamed about my big house in Pingshun County. I suddenly had an idea!"
Those who knew that he had been assimilated into the Independent Column either died or were imprisoned in the Independent Column.
Therefore, to the various forces in the county, Jia Guier was at most a coward who escaped from the Eighth Route Army.
Moreover, with Hei Teng's death, no one would investigate his past few months.
Jia Guier suddenly had an idea and returned to the county town to sell his house, the shares he had previously embezzled, and some goods he had in his hands.
More than 10,000 oceans were raised.
He spent 2000 yuan to buy kilograms of various meats from Boss Hu, who controlled the secret passage in and out of Pingshun County.
Pork, beef, mutton, even chicken, duck and fish are all fine.
As a shrewd businessman, Boss Hu did not ask any questions that he should not have asked, nor did he interfere in any matters that he should not have interfered in. He just agreed to deliver 3,000 kilograms at Xiajing Village, ten miles south of Pingshun County, at 12 o'clock in the evening.
The reason for choosing Xiajing Village was because the Hei Teng Squadron was wiped out there, with more than a hundred people killed.
The villagers in the surrounding area think it is unlucky and are unwilling to pass by there regardless of day or night, so it is absolutely safe.
At around ten o'clock in the evening, Jia Guier took the soldiers of the support company and drove two trucks to pick up the goods.
For safety reasons, Zhao Gang also borrowed a company from the reconnaissance battalion and went to Xiajing Village to hide there first, to avoid being ambushed.
At exactly twelve o'clock, Jia Guichao shone a flashlight in the dark, turning it on three times and off three times, and then imitated the cuckoo's call three times.
The cuckoo's call could also be heard in the dark night.
Jia Guier tiptoed towards the sound and found Boss Hu in the dark.
But Boss Hu traveled light, apparently with only a dozen of his men with weapons tucked into their waists. No cattle or sheep were seen, not even a chicken.
"Boss Hu, I paid the money, but where are your goods?"
"Captain Jia, don't be anxious! I know all the rules of the road. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, but you should at least tell the brothers what's going on with those two cars? If I'm not mistaken, they are the cars of the independent column, right?"
Jia Guier didn't expect that the truck parked in the woods was still discovered by Boss Hu.
"Boss Hu is indeed a man who has connections with both the black and white worlds in Pingshun County. I hid the car so deep, but you still found it? Let's be frank. All this meat was bought for the Independent Column!"
"Oh? The Independent Column is so rich? They can even eat meat?"
After thinking it over again and again, Jia Guier decided to mix his words with half truth and half lies, in case Boss Hu was dissatisfied and simply refused to sell the product, then the soldiers would have no food for the New Year.
"I paid for it!"
"What are you planning?"
"Just to make myself feel at ease, the Eighth Route Army didn't kill me, I have to repay them! This ten thousand pounds of meat is worth my life, isn't it too much?"
Boss Hu looked at Jia Guier for a minute and finally clapped his hands.
More than a dozen carts emerged from the darkness, piled with whole slabs of pork.
"Lead the way, I'll get you in the car!"
In less than half an hour, three thousand kilograms of pork were loaded onto the truck.
Jia Guier covered his hands with canvas, blew a breath of white air onto them, and rubbed his frozen hands.
"Thank you, Boss Hu!"
"Why thank you? It's not like I didn't take your money. Tomorrow, I'll bring you live sheep and cattle at the same place. You can kill them and eat them right away. It's convenient!"
After Boss Hu finished speaking, he disappeared into the darkness with a dozen people and a dozen carts.
As soon as the sun rose, Jia Gui was woken up by Zhao Gang while he was sleeping.
He is now a hero of the independent column. He provides the soldiers with meat and fish, and they have a good year.
"Captain Jia, I won't say anything else. The soldiers are all drooling over the pork and say they want to toast you during the New Year. I'll ask the kitchen staff to make some soup with the bones and marinate the meat for the New Year!"
Jia Guier looked at the soldiers surrounding outside and felt warm in her heart. It turned out that it felt good to be a good person!
At night, Boss Hu kept his promise and drove all the pigs, cattle and sheep to Xiajing Village and handed them over to Jia Guier.
"Captain Jia, I removed the internal organs of these pigs, cattle and sheep and gave them to you as a token of my appreciation. In this land of southern Shanxi, we'll see each other sooner or later. Please give me some favors if we run into each other in the future!"
"Of course, let's say goodbye!"
When Boss Hu was about to turn around and leave, Jia Guier suddenly remembered something and decided to go for it.
"Boss Hu, wait a minute, I have something else to trouble you with. I have a batch of miracle drugs on hand called penicillin, which is more effective than sulfa, and costs one hundred and fifty dollars a bottle!"
On the black market, there are all kinds of strange and exotic things, even the loincloth of the Japanese emperor can be got for you, but the price is naturally several times more expensive than outside.
Therefore, medicines that cost one hundred and fifty dollars are naturally common.
"Better than sulfa? Really?!"
"Boss Hu, although Jia Gui'er is not a gentleman, he still has to have some dignity in the black market. If it doesn't work, you can come and take my head!"
Boss Hu pondered for a while.
"Okay, how many bottles?"
"We have as many as you want. I'm just afraid you won't be able to finish them all! But I have one request, which is that we must not sell them to the Japanese or anyone related to them."
Boss Hu guessed that these medicines might have been obtained by Jia Guier from the Japanese and he was afraid of being exposed.
"Okay, I promise! I'll contact the buyer first, and you come to the city to find me in three days!"
Jia Guier led his men to pull the cattle and sheep back to the independent column, and then reported the matter of penicillin to Zhao Gang.
Zhao Gang also asked Li Yunlong and Wang Meng for their opinions, and finally the few of them made a bold decision!
