Chapter 116 I Care About You Too
Zhang Dahu looked at Jiang Wukui, and saw that he was staring at Li Jianwei, waiting for him to speak, knowing that he had not thought of any other possibilities. In fact, Zhang Dahu himself could not think of any other possibilities.
"Is this the only possibility? Let's think about it again," said Zhang Dahu.
"What else could it be? Why do we have to hide in the mountains? This is already the Japanese-occupied area. There is really no need to hide their ordinary affairs like this!" said Li Jianwei.
"Will they set up a comfort station in the cave? Aren't there beds in the cave?" Jiang Wukui said.
"What are you thinking about? It's no secret that they have comfort women. Is it necessary to be like this?" Li Jianwei looked at Jiang Wukui, "Why do you only think about those things between men and women?"
"What I said makes sense. Think about it. Last time you disguised yourself as a woman and sneaked into their important institution and blew up their confidential telecommunications office. Maybe they learned their lesson and set up a comfort station in a cave in the mountains, where they can let meritorious soldiers have fun at night. Isn't this possible? Otherwise, why would they have prepared beds in the cave?" Jiang Wukui said.
"This is unlikely. The cave should be related to 'Operation Mantis', and 'Operation Mantis' would never be something like this." Zhang Dahu denied Jiang Wukui's idea.
"Oh! If I had known it would be so difficult to guess, I would have captured the sentries alive and asked them," said Jiang Wukui.
"Are you stupid? How can the sentinels know the secret of 'Operation Praying Mantis'? They only know that there is a bed in the cave, but they don't know what it is used for. Didn't you hear the tone of their voice? They think it's an exaggeration to ask them to guard the bed in the cave. How can they know the secrets of the cave?" said Li Jianwei.
"That's right. The sentries definitely don't know. They are only responsible for standing guard. How would they know what we will do specifically in the future?" said Zhang Dahu.
"It seems that the most likely possibility is the development of combat weapons. Are combat weapons related to 'Mantis'? What should we do?" Li Jianwei said to himself.
"That's right. Of course the combat weapons are related to 'praying mantis'! The mantis's feet are like saw teeth, which are a powerful weapon for fighting cicadas. Its teeth are also powerful weapons for fighting. That's right, we must be developing weapons related to praying mantis." Jiang Wukui said happily, as if he had discovered a new world.
"Come on! What you're talking about doesn't make sense! It's not as simple as you think. Developing combat weapons requires concealment, but how can it be related to the legs and teeth of a mantis? It's not that intuitive." Li Jianwei still didn't agree with Jiang Wukui's statement.
"Alas! I have a simple mind, so of course my thoughts are simple. I won't say anything more, let me listen to your analysis!" Jiang Wukui said.
"Speak freely and say whatever comes to mind. This way, we can consider everything comprehensively. Don't just speak up until someone says it's right. That wouldn't be a discussion," Zhang Dahu said with a smile.
"Wu Kui, I spoke a little bluntly. Actually , I was just analyzing the situation with you. I didn't mean to say you are stupid or anything. Don't mind it." Li Jianwei also hurriedly said good things to Jiang Wu Kui, fearing that he really would not dare to say anything.
"Brother, it's not about whether you care or not. I just feel that I really don't think as far as you do. I just say whatever comes to my mind and I'm afraid of disturbing your train of thought. However, our discussion is just speculation anyway. The important thing is to confirm it. I think we should step up our reconnaissance and find out their real intentions." Jiang Wukui's interest revived.
"That's right. We must continue our reconnaissance. However, the purpose of the discussion is to better and faster grasp the content of 'Operation Praying Mantis' and find out what the enemy is doing. Among the four of us, Dongjin's brain is the most useful. If he is with us, we will definitely be much better." Zhang Dahu said.
"Speaking of Dongjin, I really miss him. I wonder how he is doing in a foreign country? It would be great if Dongjin could be with us after he comes back." Jiang Wukui said.
"Dongjin is abroad, maybe he hooks up with a foreign girl and forgets about us, buddies?" Li Jianwei joked.
"Hmph, Dongjin is not like you. He values women over friends. Even when he is sleeping with a foreign girl, he will still be thinking about us buddies." Jiang Wukui glanced at Li Jianwei. "Otherwise, he wouldn't have grabbed Instructor Gao's chest and twisted it until she was in so much pain." Jiang Wukui said.
"You're exaggerating! Even when he fell asleep with the foreign girl, he was still thinking about you. Do you think he is gay with you? Humph! If you have a woman, will you still think about me and Dahu when you are close to her?" Li Jianwei said with a smile.
"What are you talking about? I said Dongjin was thinking about us when he was sleeping with the foreign girl. Did I say he was thinking about us when he was doing something good? You are just changing the concept. What are you talking about?" Jiang Wukui said.
"What are you talking about? I was just joking. I don't think Dongjin will sleep with the foreign girl. He is coming back. Will the foreign girl follow him?" Li Jianwei said.
"Okay, let's stop talking. Take a rest! Tomorrow morning and afternoon, the two of you will take turns to keep an eye on the road to Hutou Mountain in the city to see what the Japanese troops in the city are doing. At night, we will explore Hutou Mountain again!" said Zhang Dahu.
"Okay. I think so too. We should keep an eye on that road in the city and see what Mishima Kawako and the others do. Maybe we will get something. Wasn't it because we saw her going that way last time that we thought there might be a secret in Hutou Mountain?" said Li Jianwei.
"That's right. But we have to hide and don't alert the enemy. Okay, let's go to sleep!" said Zhang Dahu.
The next morning, Jiang Wukui was in charge of watching the road. Zhang Dahu and Li Jianwei were resting at home. They wanted to get enough rest and prepare to explore Hutou Mountain again in the evening .
"Jianwei, let's both go to sleep! You have to go on surveillance in the afternoon, so just sleep. I will cook at noon and then get up after a short nap. I can still make up for the sleep in the afternoon." Zhang Dahu said.
"Okay." Li Jianwei said and went to bed to catch up on his sleep. He didn't have any tasks in the morning and fell asleep quickly.
When it was almost time for lunch, Jiang Wukui came back.
"Wu Kui, did you find anything?" Li Jianwei had just gotten up to wash his face and saw Jiang Wu Kui coming back, and asked impatiently.
"I saw they had a motorcycle heading towards the mountain. They were delivering food and vegetables," said Jiang Wukui.
"Oh. The sentinels in the mountains must eat. How much food and vegetables do they have?" asked Zhang Dahu.
"Not much, just a bag of rice, and the dishes are meat and vegetables. If it were just the sentries we saw, the dishes would only last for two days at most," said Jiang Wukui.
"That means they deliver food once a day or once every two days. By the way, in the future we will pay attention to the amount of food they deliver, so that we can judge whether they have increased the number of people in the mountains, and there will be no need to run into the mountains every night. If the situation changes, for example, the amount of food and vegetables increases, we will go into the mountains to conduct reconnaissance again." said Li Jianwei.
"That makes sense. However, we must explore Hutou Mountain again tonight to understand the situation inside," said Zhang Dahu.
"I thought so too. Today we found out that they were delivering food into the mountains. We will find out how many people are in the mountains, and then we can make judgments based on the amount of food in the future," said Li Jianwei.
"You two's analysis is absolutely correct. I thought I only saw them bringing in food, which was of no value!" Jiang Wukui said with a smile.
"How can it be worthless? Things are interconnected. We must find the connections between them, and in this way, we will always find useful information," said Zhang Dahu.
"I still need to learn from you and learn to think more." Jiang Wukui said with a smile.
"Wu Kui, why have you become so humble?" Li Jianwei looked at Jiang Wu Kui with a smile.
"I have never been proud. I know I have no reason to be proud."
"Wu Kui, what you said is quite humorous." Zhang Dahu said.
"I'm telling the truth. Dongjin has the capital to be proud, but he is not proud. If he is not proud, how can I be proud? Jianwei, don't you think so?" Jiang Wukui said with a smile.
"Wu Kui, do you mean that I am proud?" Li Jianwei looked at Jiang Wu Kui.
"I didn't say that. You said it yourself. Don't blame me."
"You're so good! Your words sound like you're stabbing me with a knife!" Li Jianwei said as he punched Jiang Wukui in the chest.
"You know that you are sometimes proud, right? Especially in front of me, you love to be proud." Jiang Wukui smiled.
"Okay, it's time to eat. Jianwei, after eating, you go and continue observing. Wukui, you take a good nap after eating. I will also sleep for a while, and then get up to help prepare dinner. You just need to sleep well this afternoon so that you can be energetic at night." Zhang Dahu said.
"Okay. I'll listen to you." Da Hu looked at the dishes on the table and said with a smile, "Da Hu, the dishes you cook are better than those made by Jian Wei and me."
"Hahaha, you mean from now on there will be three of us and I will have to cook more."
"Who doesn't want to eat delicious food, Jianwei, what do you think?" Jiang Wukui looked at Li Jianwei with a smile.
"I agree with this, I fully support it. Come, let's eat more of the dishes made by Dahu. Eating more dishes is a recognition of Dahu's cooking skills." Li Jianwei said as he picked up the dishes and put them into his mouth.
After lunch, Li Jianwei went out. Zhang Dahu was in charge of clearing the dishes. He asked Jiang Wukui to wash his face and sit for a while before going to bed.
"Da Hu, I'm full and I need to sleep later. You didn't sleep much in the morning, so you should also have a good sleep in the afternoon." Jiang Wukui said with concern.
"Don't worry, I will get enough rest. You just need to focus on getting enough sleep." Zhang Dahu said with a smile.
Jiang Wukui really needed to rest. After washing his face, he sat for a while and then went to bed and fell asleep in a short while.
After Zhang Dahu had packed up, he took a shower and lay down on the bed. He soon fell asleep in a daze.
When there was a knock on the door, Zhang Dahu jumped up and ran to open the door. Xie Mengqi looked around and walked in sideways.
"Why is there only one person?" Xie Mengqi asked, not seeing Li Jianwei and Jiang Wukui.
"Li Jianwei went out and Jiang Wukui fell asleep." Zhang Dahu said.
"Jiang Wukui is sleeping? Why is he so lazy?"
"Shh! Don't bother him, let him sleep."
"Zhang Dahu, I didn't expect you still care about him so much." Xie Mengqi looked at Zhang Dahu with a smile.
"I care about you, too."
"Really?"
"Isn't it?" Zhang Dahu said with a smile, looking at Xie Mengqi's beautiful face.
"Why didn't I feel it?"
