Chapter 21 Preparations before the trip

I am destined to be a lonely killer. Unless I change my career, it is impossible to stay in one place for a long time.

Wu Ming did not blame the people in Wangjia Village at all. No one wanted to live a peaceful life. It felt so uncomfortable. He began to pack things silently early in the morning. It was a pity that he was not familiar with the place here. It would be great if there was a map. It would be better to have a military map, so he could go there alone.

There was a sound of footsteps from afar and stopped outside the cave entrance. The person who came seemed a little hesitant, but finally walked in.

"Good morning! Mr. Wu." It was the village chief Wang He, who seemed very tired after waking up.

"Good morning." Wu Ming nodded with a smile.

Wang He smiled bitterly and hesitated for a long time, "Mr. Wu, are you really leaving? Are you blamed for the people in the village for being timid and afraid of things?"

"That's not." Wu Ming stuffed the telescope into his backpack and raised his head. "The villagers are not like me, they are alone, without any worries, they are all with their families. It is very natural to worry about it. To be honest, I don't blame everyone at all."

"It's good if you don't blame me." Wang He breathed a sigh of relief, "You'd better not leave, it's cold this day. It's inconvenient for you to be alone outside. In fact, everyone in the village hopes that you can stay so that everyone will not be afraid."

"You are joking with a village chief." Wu Ming waved his hand with a smile, "It is difficult for a hero to have many enemies. How capable can I be by myself? Besides, I will feel uncomfortable if I stay in the same place for a long time, so I must leave. I would like to thank everyone for their kindness here."

Wang He sighed softly and shook his head, "Since Mr. Wu's intention to leave has been decided, I can't say anything anymore. How about asking Mr. Wu to leave after the New Year? And if Mr. Wu needs our help, please tell me, so that everyone can feel better."

Wu Ming thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about the New Year, but there is something that I have to trouble the village chief."

"What's the matter? Mr. Wu said it."

"I'm not very familiar with the terrain and location here. I want to make a map, preferably a military map. Does the village chief know where to get it?"

"Map? Military map?" Wang He frowned and began to think.

After a while, Wang He raised his head, "When the Japanese devils were not in the fight, they might be able to buy them from the national army if they spent some money, but now... but the devils must have it in their hands."

"A Japanese? I don't know where Japanese are there?" Wu Ming said to himself.

"Haha, Mr. Wu, don't worry, just leave this matter to me. I'll ask some people to inquire and I will definitely give you an accurate message. How many days do you want to wait?" Wang He said with a smile. This can be considered as returning some favors to Wu Ming, and at least he felt comforted.

"Then, okay! Trouble the village chief."

……………………………………………………

More than ten days passed quickly. Just when Wu Ming lost his patience and thought that the village chief Wang He was just Akira was delaying his departure, the news finally came out.

"There must be a map in the stronghold in Renjia Town. A person who came to the stronghold to deliver food had seen it." Wang He said, "However, there are more than 30 Japanese in the stronghold, which is not easy to deal with!"

"More than thirty?" Wu Ming nodded, thinking quickly in his mind.

"Isn't Renjia Village very close to Wangjia Village? The one who came back last was the Japanese from Renjia Village, right?" Wu Ming asked with his head up.

"That's right, it's those beasts." Wang He said hatefully, "A dozen lives are not spared, and the elderly, weak, women and children. When I think of it, I gritted my teeth with hatred."

"If something happened to the Japanese in Renjia Village, what if the Japanese were not careful, they would suspect that they would go to Wangjia Village?" Wu Ming said thoughtfully.

"Mr. Wu, please let go and don't have any worries. These beasts never need reason to harm people. You killed these beasts and avenge the villagers who died in Wangjia Village. Everyone thanks you from the bottom of your heart." Wang He said excitedly.

"Then you have to be more cautious." Wu Ming looked at Wang He gratefully, "I would like to ask the village chief to ask if there are any Japanese outside Renjia Village that are easy to fight, such as small checkpoints, small strongholds, transport vehicles, etc. I plan to fight from outside for a few first, and finally hit Renjia Village. In this way, the Japanese will reconnaissance in this direction and see where I came from. With the map, I will leave immediately and work a few times in a distance, attracting the Japanese's attention, and the villagers in the village will be much safer."

"Mr. Wu, it is rare that you think so thoughtful for the villagers." Wang He said with some emotion.

"I'll go out again, nothing else can do. My old face is quite familiar in this area. There are poor guys who I can speak in any village or village. Please wait for the news with peace of mind!" Wang He stood up and assured Wu Ming.

"By the way, there are not carpenters in the village. I want to ask them to carve some wooden signs. It doesn't have to be too big, it's just that big." Wu Ming said while gesturing with his hands.

"There is no problem with this, I'll let them do it right away." Wang He agreed happily.

……………………………

"Master, these are the cotton coats and pants my mother made for you. Do you think it's appropriate?" Hu Zi put down his clothes and said with a low mood.

"Thank you for me." Wu Ming tried to wear it and said with a smile.

"Are you really leaving?" Hu Zi asked hesitantly.

"Yes, I'm used to being free and easy. It's very uncomfortable to stay in the same place. After the village chief found out the news, I had a map and was about to leave." Wu Ming took off his cotton coat, put it in his backpack after wrapping it.

"Take me with you!" Hu Zi said expectantly.

"That won't work." Wu Ming refused flatly, "You are the only boy in your family. How can you go out with me? Your mother still has to worry about death!"

"Then, what if my mother promised me to go out with you?"

"That's not possible." Wu Ming shook his head firmly, "Which parent will feel at ease to let his children go out in this chaos? Even if you are slapping your mind, I will not take you away."

"Everyone has his own responsibilities and what he has to do." Looking at Hu Zi with a disappointed face, Wu Ming said earnestly: "Your responsibility is to stay here, do your best to protect your family and fellow villagers with the skills you have learned. And I, haha."

Wu Ming smiled bitterly, "I don't know what my ultimate goal is? Maybe it's a search. I only know that staying in this place will not lead to any more results. I want to go out and search everywhere, and there may be surprises or unexpected success waiting for me. Death is actually a good destination. If it is destined by God, I will accept it calmly, just like I came here for no reason."

Looking at Hu Zi's confused eyes, Wu Ming shook his head, "You haven't experienced it, so you won't understand. Fight side by side with your master a few more times. For you, it is also a beautiful thing for me to leave an unforgettable memory. Let God decide whether you can meet again in the future!"

Hu Zi was stunned for a while and nodded, "I don't understand very well, but the master wants me to go to war with you, but he understands. Will you still fight bandits this time?"

"No, I'm going to fight the Japanese this time, and there are more than 30 well-trained Japanese. Are you afraid?" Wu Ming asked with a smile.

"What are you afraid of? These beasts, I have long thought of killing a few to avenge the villagers." Hu Zi said angrily.

"You have to bring this with you so that the Japanese know who did it." Wu Ming threw over a wooden sign with words written in a red pen.

"There are no three or four heroes among the heroes." Hu Zi said softly, and turned the wooden sign over again, "Destroy the Japanese and eliminate the pirates and ghosts and gods."
