Reborn as a landlord!I can

"But why did he come here alone? Aren't they a group of people acting together?"

"You're stupid. He's injured. He must be here to recuperate. All their people are like this. If he's injured, he'll be placed in the homes of local people. After he's healed, he'll continue working."

Li Manping noticed something was wrong while listening to their discussion. It happened that a stranger came into the village, and he was an injured Red Party member. Is it really such a coincidence?

She stopped going up the back hill and turned around and ran towards the village chief's house. She wanted to see if the person who came was really a Red Party member and what the purpose of coming was.

"Village Chief Liu, you also know that although our two parties signed an armistice agreement at the beginning of the year to jointly build a new democratic country, in June the Kuomintang Party tore up the agreement and launched a war. Currently, our party and the Kuomintang Party are fighting. It is powerful and requires the support of a large number of people, so we sent a large number of instructors to visit people from all sides to see how much strength we can unite to resist the attack of the Kuomintang personnel."

Li Manping heard a gentle voice at the entrance of the courtyard. His words were sincere. When she walked into the courtyard, she saw a man sitting in the main seat, with the village chief sitting beside him.

"Yes, yes, comrade, you are right, we should indeed unite as one."

Liu Wenhao quite agreed with the Red Party's governing principles and policies. As an old farmer, he also wanted to help.

"Well, Village Chief Liu is sensible. Thank you for cooperating with my work. Then I will continue."

Li Manping saw him take out a notebook and pen from his body, ask questions and take notes according to the questions written on them.

"What is the name of your village? How many people are there in the village?"

"It's called a small mountain village, with more than 1100 people."

The man raised his head and repeated in surprise, more than 1100 people, then lowered his head and recorded it in his notebook.

"How many strong laborers are there in your village? How are their health? Can they fight?"

"Of course we can. There are 800 people in our village. They are all strong farmers and their men are very capable."

Village Chief Liu patted his chest, feeling obviously proud that he could keep the villagers fed and clothed without worries.

But Li Manping clearly saw that his recording hand paused, and then continued inadvertently.

"How do you know the surrounding villages?"

"Ah, there are two big villages around us, with a population and labor force similar to ours."

Li Manping once again found that his recording finger was stuck, and seemed too surprised.

Hou San was shocked. There were several villages in such a big place, and all of them were populated by strong laborers. How come these people had not been exposed to outsiders before?

"Heh, heh, yes, yes, it would be great if every village was like you. We would have less to worry about."

Hou San adjusted his expression, and while asking detailed questions in Book 5, he looked at the people in the main room who were looking at him. Although these people looked thin, they were not weak. Their faces were dark and they looked like farmers who worked frequently.

"Okay, I'm done asking. Can the village chief take me around the village so I can take notes?"

Hou San made a new request, and the village chief nodded without realizing it. Just look at it, there is nothing interesting to see.

The village chief and Hou San walked swaggering ahead, and a group of villagers watching the fun followed closely behind, introducing various places in the village as they walked.

At this time, Li Manping was already [-]% sure that this suspected red party instructor was fake, and he must be related to the malice she felt.

From the questions he asked, one could guess his purpose. He came to inquire about the personnel and weapons configuration in the village. It could be guessed that it was not the beasts that caused her sense of danger on the mountain, but a group of bad people.

From the fact that the village chief answered all his questions, it can be seen that the village chief really believed in his identity. No one, including the villagers, suspected that he had other purposes.

Li Manping couldn't expose it to her face, so she planned to talk to her father about a trick and kill them all at once, because from his shocked expressions, she guessed that they didn't have many, or even very few, people. Therefore, you cannot directly confront the villagers.

Knowing what was going on, she followed him calmly and listened to his insinuations about the situation in the village. Li Manping also discovered that the village chief seemed suspicious and started to avoid answering his questions.

Sure enough, a person who can be a village chief in this era is not too stupid. Even if he was deceived by him at first, he still found something wrong from the clues.

Thumbs up to the village chief, he is indeed a tough man from a mountain village.

"Comrade Hou, let's go home. It's rare for you to come to our village once, so our village should treat you well. You must be hungry too. Let's go. My food should be ready. Go back and have a few hot bites." of."

Village Chief Liu took Comrade Hou's arm and pulled him toward home.

"Oh, how embarrassing is this? We are disciplined and cannot take advantage of the masses. We will be criticized."

Thinking of a large bowl full of fragrant chicken, Hou San's saliva began to secrete. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time, but in order to maintain his status as a red party member, he had to try his best to avoid it.

"What's the matter? It's not that you want to take our things. How can I criticize you? This is our small thanks for driving away the invading thieves and giving us a peaceful life."

The village chief dragged him back to his yard and gave instructions to his son Liu Dahu.

"Go, bring a pot of medicinal wine prepared by your Uncle Liu's family, and invite him to come over and drink with the comrade. Remember to bring the medicinal wine specially prepared by your Uncle Liu. Please make it clear to him."

Liu Dahu looked at his father strangely. Wasn't his Uncle Liu's special medicinal wine used to stun seriously injured and disobedient patients?

If the injury is too serious and the patient needs to be quiet, Uncle Liu will give him a couple of sips. If the person faints, it will be cured. The drink is still strong and it will take a long time for the person to wake up.

Did his father say the wrong thing?

Most of the other villagers also knew about this, and they all looked confused when they heard the village chief's instructions. This is...there is something wrong with this person?

Out of trust in the village chief, someone immediately pulled Liu Dahu, who was still confused, and ran away, fearing that he would ask stupidly.

"Go away, go away, you little brats are joining in the fun, go home and cook, haven't you seen the sun is already in the middle of the day?"

The clever villagers began to drive away a group of adults and children who were following behind to see the strange things, including Li Manping.

Looking at the seven or eight strong men surrounding Comrade Hou, Li Manping was also dumbfounded. The villagers were really united. She knew the uniqueness of the special wine from Zhou Qiao. Judging from their performance, this was all Know?

Very good. Looking at the bad guy who was surrounded by men and having a big meal, she silently held back tears of sympathy for him. He must have entered the wolf's den.

After returning home, Li Manping saw her parents and quickly told her parents what had happened. She also told her parents about her guesses and discoveries on the mountain.
