As they approached the village, Ye Fan ordered everyone to tread lightly. They extinguished the torches in their hands and advanced only by relying on the moonlight. There was no other way. Now that the Japanese were burning, killing, and looting everywhere, everyone was in danger. Ye Fan did not want to disturb them.
When they reached the house that was still lit by the fire, they could hear the loud voices of the people in the house from afar.
According to Old Cat, there was only one person in this family. They had lost their parents since they were young and had been raised by the villagers. Now, the butcher was in the business of killing pigs, so his life was quite decent.
"Strange, why are you talking alone at home?”Old Cat muttered as someone walked over and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" A deep voice sounded. It was not fear, but vigilance.
"Butcher, don't you remember me? I'm Old Xie Cat!”
"Old Cat Xie?" The butcher muttered at home. Obviously, he was not on guard and immediately walked over to open the door.
Old Cat Xie and the butcher exchanged pleasantries and pointed in Ye Fan's direction. The butcher did not say anything and opened the half-opened door.
Old Cat Xie thanked him and ran over to Ye Fan."Company commander, let's go.”
"So fast?"
Old Xie Cat chuckled. He knew what Ye Fan was worried about."Captain, don't worry. This butcher is not good at all. There's one thing I admire about him. This person is not scheming, and it's impossible for him to report us. To put it bluntly, he was a little one-track minded and stupid!”
Ye Fan looked at Xie Old Cat suspiciously. However, since even Xie Old Cat said so, there was probably no problem. After all, Xie Old Cat was cunning. Who could trick him?
"Let's go!"
Walking into the house, Ye Fan and the others were each holding a bundle of things in their hands. However, they were using straw mats, so the butcher did not know what it was exactly.
"You must be the company commander. Hello, I'm the butcher. I've been called that since I was young.”Before Ye Fan could put down the things in his hands, the butcher ran over and shouted happily.
Ye Fan was stunned. The butcher was only 25 or 26 years old. He looked a little fat and really looked a little silly.
"Hello, I'm Old Cat's company commander. I'll have to trouble you this time.”
"No trouble, no trouble." The butcher quickly said. He paused and looked at Ye Fan with some embarrassment," That, Company Commander, when can I fight the Japanese with you?”
"What? With us?" Ye Fan looked at the butcher in shock. What was this?
Seeing Ye Fan like this, the butcher was also anxious. He thought that Ye Fan did not want him, so he hurriedly took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket.
"Captain, look. Tomcat said that this is a letter from his commander. He said that he can let me fight the Japanese with him. Aren't you Tomcat's commander?”
Ye Fan took the paper in confusion. When he saw it, his expression immediately became unnatural.
"Old Cat, get your ass over here!" Ye Fan shouted in a low voice, but who knew where Old Cat went! The soldiers couldn't help but laugh bitterly. This Old Cat!
It turned out that when Tomcat was in trouble, it was rescued by the butcher. The butcher wanted to follow Tomcat to fight the Japanese, but Tomcat would never agree to it. He said," Give me your valuables. I'll give them to the officer after I see him. That way, you can fight the Japanese with him."
This Old Cat had actually tricked his savior. The poor butcher had always believed in Old Cat and had given all the valuable things in the house to him, but Old Cat had disappeared, leaving behind an empty check.
Seeing the angry Ye Fan, the butcher became even more anxious. He hurriedly said that he would not participate and told Ye Fan not to be angry.
Ye Fan was helpless. He looked at the person in front of him who trusted Old Cat so much. It was as if he had been poisoned.
"How about this, Butcher? We'll look for you after we complete the mission. We'll see if you're qualified or not then, okay?”
The butcher was delighted when he heard that and nodded repeatedly. He knew that Ye Fan wanted to store something, so he brought Ye Fan to the firewood house in the backyard.
The group came to the woodshed and saw a huge millstone blocking the door. Just as he was frowning, he saw the butcher roll up his sleeves and move it without saying anything.
Everyone was so shocked that their jaws dropped. This stone mill was at least three to four hundred pounds, but looking at the butcher's strength, he was simply a natural strongman!
Everyone gulped and followed the butcher into the woodshed. The woodshed was in a mess, with a large amount of straw piled up.
Just as he walked into the house and had yet to put down his things, he heard Sha Sha's voice. Ye Fan subconsciously raised his gun and aimed it at the pile of straw.
The butcher chuckled and blinked at Ye Fan before pulling away the straw. There were actually two people under the straw!
Two Japanese in yellow clothes!
Not only Ye Fan, but at this moment, even the soldiers were shocked. There were two half-dead Japanese in the butcher's house?!
"Company Commander, I caught this when they weren't paying attention. I was going to give it to you when I joined the army.”The butcher looked relaxed and normal, as if he had caught two chicks at home.
"A pledge of allegiance." Ye Fan said in a daze. This butcher was not bad! He was extremely strong and was not afraid of the Japanese. In this day and age, which ordinary person did not look at the Japanese as if they had encountered a plague? But the Butcher just had to run into it!
"Butcher, how did you catch him?”
"Hehe, Captain, I saw these two people who were alone on the road. I gave them some meat and said that I still had some at my house. So, they obediently followed me.”
"Just like that?" Ye Fan had a bitter smile on his face. If it was so easy to fight the Japanese, what was the point of having soldiers?
At this moment, Ye Fan was really optimistic about the butcher.
"Oh, right, they had this thing on them. I didn't understand it, so I kept it.”The butcher suddenly thought of something and felt around in his pocket.
A piece of beige paper was handed to Ye Fan. When he looked at it, Ye Fan only saw three big words-"Defense Map".
Although he didn't recognize the word, the picture on the paper was drawn clearly, and some places were marked with numbers.
Ye Fan could not even turn his head around. Looking at the group of warriors surrounding the butcher as if they were looking at a monster, Ye Fan could not help but laugh.
It was exactly what he had gotten without any effort. He had been calculating the Japanese's defenses before, but now that he had a map, he could get whatever he wanted. With this map, the soldiers would be able to disrupt the enemy's deployment more accurately and greatly reduce casualties!
"Butcher, wait! Follow us when we come back!”Ye Fan blurted out.
