Chapter 32: Good Feelings

  "Who's there?" Qiu Yu Ying seemed to have discovered a figure hiding behind the trees, and with one swift step, she jumped over. By the time she reached the trees, the person had vanished without a trace.

  "No, I clearly saw someone hiding here to spy, how could they disappear in the blink of an eye? If it's a traitor hidden in the team, that's too dangerous. This guy's lightness kung fu is so fierce, able to flash away without a shadow or a trace in the blink of an eye, must be a top-notch master. Who in the team could be such a master? Besides brother having this skill, who else could it be? Impossible! The guerrilla team has twenty-two people, all with deep hatred for the Japanese and traitors, who would be a traitor?" Qiu Yu'ying quickly searched the woods but found nothing, so she returned to Xin Yuan's side where he was practicing shooting.

  "Who is in the woods?" asked Xin Yuan when he saw Qiu Yu Ying return.

  "Let that guy run away. If he's a traitor, his figure is too fast. A traitor hiding in the revolutionary ranks is like a time bomb installed in the revolutionary ranks, posing a threat to us at any moment. We must catch him as soon as possible." Qiu Yu'ying said.

  "When one person does something, they will always leave behind some clues. If we put the things that have happened together and analyze them, we can roughly figure out who might be the traitor. A fox will always reveal its tail, as long as we don't let our guard down, we'll definitely catch him," said Xin Yuan.

  "Hey, I say, you're so young, yet you think about things so deeply! Xin Gege, you're making me look at you in a new light. Let's go back and report this to Big Brother!" Qiu Yu Ying patted Xin Yuan on the shoulder, laughing hehehe, and walked alongside him back to the village.

  Qiu Yu-ying and Xin Yuan-yi entered the house, seeing Qiu Hua-chun lying on the bed reading a book. Xin Yuan also liked to read books, in Biyuan Temple, most of the books Xin Yuan read were classics, the more he read, the more knowledge he gained.

  "Brother, I'm reading a book! Just now in the thicket, I saw a figure hiding in the thicket, seemingly monitoring us. If I'm not mistaken, that person is the traitor we're looking for." Qiu Yu'ying said, plopping down on the stool and picking up a bowl of water from the table, "Gulp gulp gulp" she drank it all in one go.

  Seeing that she had provided such important information, Brother Qiu Huachun didn't take it to heart at all. Qiu Yu'ying looked at Qiu Huachun in confusion: "Brother, did you hear what I said? Are you so engrossed in reading that you've become foolish?" Qiu Yu'ying walked forward and snatched the book from Qiu Huachun's hand, saying: "I'm talking to you about serious matters, why aren't you taking it seriously!" As she spoke, she threw the seized book onto the table.

  "I heard, I heard. My good sister. Isn't it just a figure in the woods that flashed by and disappeared? You suspect it's a traitor, but I don't see why. Sister, pass me the book, I haven't finished reading it yet!" Qiu Huachun stretched out his hand to ask Qiu Yu'ying for the book.

  Xin Yuan walked over to the table and picked it up with ease.

  "What, didn't you see? Hey, you're still the guerrilla captain, but you don't even have this much vigilance. What if that figure is a spy? He found out where our guerrilla team is stationed and reported it to the devils, we'd be ambushed by the devils and suffer heavy losses. Brother, you can't be so careless!" Qiu Yu'ying was anxious.

  Seeing Qiu Yu Ying getting anxious to the point of tears, Xin Yuan interjected: "Yu Ying sister, Captain Qiu is not worried, which means Captain Qiu has a reason not to worry, so you don't have to worry either."

  "What? You're also helping your brother, such a big thing, can't you be anxious? Brother, I think we should make early preparations. I'll go notify the troops to assemble and we'll move immediately." Qiu Yu'ying stood up and was about to leave.

  "Hey, sister, what are you doing! Not... I have no way to tell you." Qiu Huachun scratched his head and furrowed his brow, pointing at Xin Yuan, "Brother Xin, stop her."

  "Yu Ying, sister, you're back. No need to gather the troops. The figure in the woods is Qiu team leader," Xin Yuan shouted from behind.

  This sentence really worked, and Qiu Yu Ying immediately stopped in her tracks.

  Qiu Yu Ying turned around, "Hehe" and laughed: "Brother, are you not at ease, afraid that Xin Gege's behavior is not proper? Ha ha, brother, he is a high monk from Biyuan Temple, not tainted by women, Xin Gege, isn't that right?"

  Xin Yuan is reading the book that Qiu Hua Chun just read, he was attracted after reading the beginning, and when he saw Qiu Yu Ying with a mischievous face asking him, he closed the book, smiled at Qiu Yu Ying and said: "Yu Ying sister, saying I am a high monk of Biyuan Temple is a bit too much for me. The two words 'high monk' can only be matched by my master Hui Chong Da Shi. I am just a lay disciple of Biyuan Temple, but I understand etiquette, righteousness, and shame. You and Captain Qiu are people I admire, and I must learn from you how to be a good person."

  "Listen, listen, sister, it's not me saying you, but that careless temper of yours needs to be changed a bit, otherwise, how can you match up with Brother Xin!" There was a hint in Qiu Hua Chun's words.

  "Brother Xin, I'll listen to my brother's words and from now on, I must learn from you properly!" Qiu Yu Ying said with some excitement.

  When he saw his two brothers leading things in a certain direction, Xin Yuan immediately changed the subject.

  "Captain Qiu, can I borrow this 'On Protracted War' for a look?" asked Xin Yuan, shaking the book in his hand.

  "Heh heh, okay, okay, loving books so much will surely bring a bright future." Qiu Huachun said with a smile.

  "Captain Qiu, I have a nickname at Biyuan Temple, called 'Little Bookworm'. I like to read books, all kinds of books. Hmm, Captain Qiu, this book is written too well, it analyzes the current situation too thoroughly, too precisely! It's really great! Really great!" Xinyin praised, holding that copy of "On Protracted War", and began reading it eagerly.

  Qiu Huachun nodded slightly, lowering his voice to say to Qiu Yu'ying: "Yes, he's a good young man. Not only is his martial arts skills high, but he also loves learning and reading books. More importantly, he has patriotic passion, he's a good seedling. Little sister——" Qiu Huachun glanced at Xin Yuan, then looked at Qiu Yu'ying beside him, "You must work hard!"

  "Brother, what did you say? What oil should I add?" Qiu Yu'ying blinked her cunning eyes and asked intentionally not understanding.

  Qiu Huachun whispered in Qiu Yueting's ear: "Let Xin Yuan be my brother-in-law soon."

  "Look at you, brother, you're teasing your sister again."

  "Alright, alright, brother was wrong, okay? It's about time to mold Xin Yuanhun into a revolutionary warrior with both brains and bravery."

  "That's right, everything should prioritize the overall situation of the revolution!"

  Qiu Huachun and Qiu Yuying, siblings, were talking on the side, but Xin Yuan was not affected at all. He was indeed convinced by the incisive arguments in "On Protracted War".

  Qiu Huachun and Qiu Yu Ying looked at each other and smiled as they watched Xin Yuan read with a look of intoxication.

  As dusk approached, Qiu Huachun arranged everything at the residence and then called out Xin Yuan. The two of them walked on a small path outside the village, analyzing the situation in Cangmen City.

  "Brother Xin, the Vajra of Biyuan Temple is really something. Daring to make a big disturbance in Cangmen City, our guerrilla troops under the leadership of the Communist Party are truly an anti-Japanese force. Therefore, I have decided to take action and support the masters of Biyuan Temple, and also let the people of Cangmen City know that anyone who resists Japan is not fighting alone, but has the support of people from all over the country. We will launch a surprise attack on Cangmen City and make Hei Mu Da Sao sleep uneasily." said Qiu Hua Chun.

  "Captain Qiu, I was just about to tell you. The senior brothers are trapped in Cangmen City, their lives hanging in the balance. Even if it means risking my own life, I must rescue them. Captain Qiu, I plan to sneak into Cangmen City tonight. It's extremely perilous at this time, so your guerrilla team doesn't need to take this risk, I can go alone," said Xin Yuan.

  "What nonsense are you talking about! Resisting the Japanese and fighting the devils is our unshirkable responsibility as the Eighth Route Army guerrilla troops. Tonight's action, the fewer people the better, just the two of us will go, strike a blow, and then quickly withdraw. Brother Xin, you go back and prepare, we'll meet here in an hour." Qiu Huachun finished speaking and strode away, leaving Xin Yuan with no room for discussion.

  An hour later, night fell, Xin Yuanzha tidied up and arrived at the meeting place, where Qiu Huachun was already waiting.

  Qiu Huachun handed a pistol to Xin Yuan: "This thing is better than a hidden weapon."

  Qiu Huachun, on the other hand, was fully armed, with a submachine gun slung over his shoulder and two pistols tucked into his waist.

  Two people exercised their lightness skills and slipped into the city of Cangmen. Suddenly, they heard the sound of killing shouts, so they rushed towards the place where the killing shouts came from.
