Chapter 28: The Little Devil Squad is Formed

  "Xiaxue sister, this game of fighting the devils is not fun, it's not as good as us going hunting. How about we follow that team over there and train like they do?"

  Yingzi proposed a suggestion to follow the training of soldiers on the other side.

  "Then training is strict, Yingzi, this game of catching devils is easy in comparison. That training was too tough, we had to stand still for one or two hours."

  Xia Xue used to follow those soldiers for training, but she really couldn't take it. Since the founding of the country, this troop has started regular construction and naturally became tough. Whenever Xia Xue mentions this, she still feels a lingering fear.

  "Don't be afraid, I'm not afraid of hardship. I've been through all sorts of hardships before. I've even fought against big tigers!" Yingzi said, patting her small chest.

  "Yingzi, I think we should head back now. It's already very late and if we're any later, it'll be dark and we won't be able to get back."

  At this time, Yang Wei interjected that this game is not fun to play. They have been playing for more than half a day now. This is mainly because they are too far away from this place.

  "Weizi, why don't you guys live here? Look, all the houses inside are idle, and Uncle also told me that these houses will be managed by me."

  It seems that Yang Wei had heard from Aunt Wang that someone came to the village to ask about them, and at first, Yang Wei thought it was the person who sold bullets last year, but today when Xia Xue called them, Yang Wei understood that it was Xia Xue's uncle who sent someone to ask about them. It seems that he just wanted to find playmates for Xia Xue, and even prepared a house for them.

  "Alright, but Xia Xue, go ask your uncle if these broken cars are for sale and if they can be sold to us." During the time when his little friends were playing games, Yang Wei had already inspected these cars. He found that with some patching up, several of them could still be repaired. Having a car in this era would also be a pretty good thing.

  "Little Snow, how was it? Did you have fun playing today?" "Yeah, I had a lot of fun, thank you Uncle, thank you Uncle for letting Yingzi and the others come play with me. But Uncle, I want to let Yingzi, Weizi and the others all come live here and keep me company while we play."

  "Of course, didn't I already give you all the houses? In the future, maybe Uncle won't have time for you," "Uncle, uncle, what are you going to do in the future?" "Haha, Xiaoxue, this is a military secret, can't tell you, what else do those little friends want?"

  "Request, uh-huh, ah, got it," said Wei Zi. "Can you sell those broken cars to them?" "Oh, that's what your little friend wants? Alright, I'll sell you the whole pile of scrap metal for 20 million."

  "Okay, I'll tell Wei Zi tomorrow to give me the money and then I'll pass it on to you." Xia Xue said with a serious expression. "Oh, your friends still have that much money?" The leader said with some skepticism.

  "Uncle, uncle, we want to train like you guys, what do you think?" "Training? What's that." Suddenly, the leader became interested, these kids actually wanted to train like soldiers, but he had seen kids marching in line before, they were just playing around, but today Xia Xue brought it up seriously.

  "Uh-huh, Yingzi told me that they will receive the same training as those big brothers. They will also stand at attention for one or two hours and march in formation. They even want to practice shooting targets."

  However, Xia Xue added that herself, she just didn't believe Yingzi could shoot a gun and even killed a big tiger.

  "Alright, I'll let those two uncles train you." With that, the captain had agreed. "However, uncle, can you give us a title? Just like the older brothers all have titles, like 'Tiger Team' or 'Hero Battalion'?"

  "Hmm, I'll give you a title. What should it be? You're all little devils, so let's call you the Little Devil Squad." "Oh, we have a title now! We have a title now! But, Uncle, what level is our squad?" Xia Xue was getting more and more presumptuous.

  "What rank, you said you know what rank?" "Uh-huh, when we played games today, I was a female Eighth Route Army, no rank, just a female Eighth Route Army. Wei Zi said that at the time, not many of the Eighth Route Army had ranks, but they were devils, and Wei Zi said devils did have military ranks. So, Wei Zi gave himself a colonel's rank, and all his subordinates got ranks too. That way, those little friends would be willing to play this game with me, even Ying Zi, Wei Zi gave her a captain's rank. Otherwise, Uncle, can you give me a colonel's rank too?"

  Luckily Yang Wei didn't promote himself as a general during the day, otherwise Xia Xue wouldn't even want one general's rank.

  "Alright, fine. I'll give you the rank of Lieutenant Colonel then. Do you know what level that is?"

  "I do, I do! Wei Zi told me, Lieutenant Colonel is like a Deputy Division Commander. So I'm a Deputy Division Commander now. I'll make Wei Zi a Major and have him be a Regimental Commander. Ying Zi and Xiao Shan will be First Lieutenants. Who let them come today as Captains? I'll demote them one rank. And, Uncle."

  "Is there anything else you want to say, you little devil?"

  "Uncle, in the story, officials all have a big seal and a military token. Uncle, won't you give me a big seal? Giving me a military token is fine too."

  "Xia Xue, what are you doing? Don't bother your uncle anymore, let him rest. Chief, I'm really sorry, this kid is just too much." At that moment, Xia Xue's uncle walked in from outside, he only heard the topic of the military symbol, but didn't hear anything before that.

  "Haha, kids, it's just for fun. Being with them makes me feel younger and less stressed too. Alright, you want a token of our promise? I'll get one made for you right away."

  As he spoke, the chief pulled out a knife and a round wooden block from his drawer and began to carve on it. It turned out that the chief was also a master of seal carving.

  "During the War of Resistance, sometimes I went on a mission to the enemy-controlled area, disguising myself as an engraver to complete the task. Until now, I still can't put down this skill, and even for a moment, two characters are not comfortable."

  Soon, a circular seal was engraved and printed on paper, revealing a round seal with four curved words: "Little Ghost Squad", below which were two crossed steel guns, and in the middle was a five-star.

  "How is it, Xiaoxue, are you satisfied?" "En, very satisfied, but I seem to have heard that there's also a personal seal." "Alright, alright, all will be met for you."

  Then, the leader carved out two more private seals, one was Xia Xue's private seal and the other was Yang Wei's private seal. Of course, this leader had investigated clearly that those little ghosts were all listening to Yang Wei, so he was afraid that Xia Xue would make him carve another seal again, it's better to directly carve out Yang Wei's seal as well. He thought that these little ghosts should be restrained by Yang Wei, otherwise, Xia Xue would just be a short-lived sensation.
