Volume 2: Divine Mountain Ranger Corps Chapter 38: Reconnaissance in Enemy-Occupied Territory (1)

  Mawa seemed to turn up her nose at Tianhu's words, but when she took action, she was not ambiguous at all. She actually dressed herself up as a middle-aged woman, and even walked with a bent waist, with makeup on her hands, looking like an ugly old lady in her fifties.

  "Ma Wa, you're looking sharp!" Tian Hu praised.

  Hahn Eid came over and whispered to Tianhu, "It was Miss Long Fanglan who helped with the makeup, I'm also made up by Miss Long Fanglan. Do you think I look like Mawa's husband?"

  "Haha, indeed, they really look like an old couple." Tianhu felt relieved when he heard that Long Fanglan had helped with the makeup. He had already witnessed Long Fanglan's makeup skills in Singapore. However, Tianhu also felt comforted that Mawa was willing to disguise herself as such an ugly and old woman just to go on a reconnaissance mission in enemy-occupied territory, after all, she wasn't being stubborn to the point of recklessness.

  Mawa didn't intend to talk to Tiantiger much, and pulled Haneide onto the horse-drawn carriage.

  Tianhu said no more and got on the horse carriage with Li Fei together.

  They arrived at Sandakan by noon.

  There were over a dozen devils at the checkpoint in the city, four of whom were responsible for inspecting pedestrians coming and going. On both sides stood two light machine guns, each guarded by three devils. Behind them was a guard tower with a heavy machine gun mounted on it, also guarded by three devils on all three sides.

  Perhaps there had been no conflict here, the devils' inspection of passersby was no different from not inspecting at all. Mawa, Haneid, Tienhu and Lefeiy entered the city very smoothly.

  They divided into two groups and went in all directions to reconnoitre.

  Tianhu and Lefe acted as if they were purchasing medicinal herbs and found a Chinese-owned herbal medicine store.

  "Is there any ginseng?" The ginseng of Malaya is famous, and many businessmen come to Malaya to purchase ginseng. Disguised as a businessman purchasing ginseng and other medicinal materials, no one would suspect anything, so Tianhu asked directly if they had any ginseng.

  "We have high-quality ginseng. Come and take a look." The shop owner, who may not have had any customers for a long time, immediately came forward with enthusiasm to introduce his products.

  "This is genuine white ginseng, you see, it's even harder than iron, this knife can't cut through it at all. I'll take it and roast it over the fire to soften it, then slice it thinly and soak it in water for you to drink." The boss said as he went to roast the ginseng.

  Tianhu and Li Fei turned their heads to see a Japanese army patrol team approaching, and they quickly followed the boss over.

  "Are the Japanese patrols around here quite diligent?" Tianhu asked casually.

  "Hush, we're doing business, don't mention those things, don't mention those things." The boss said nervously with a frightened expression.

  "How's business lately?" Tianhu saw that the boss was tense and didn't ask further, changing the subject instead.

  "You've seen everything. Just eat mixed rice, as long as you don't starve to death." The boss said with a bitter face, "How much goods do you want to take?"

  "If it's good, let's buy 5,000 grams first?" said Tianhu. "You also know that there are Japanese people everywhere, and we don't dare to buy too much, worried that on the way, if the Japanese were to rob us, that would be troublesome."

  "Hush, let's not talk about that, don't mention it," the boss said hastily and nervously. "I'll brew some ginseng tea for you to try, this batch of goods is good, I didn't cheat you."

  After a while, the boss brought up the tea and handed it to Tianhu and Lefe: "Drink and see, it's really good stuff, sweet. Absolutely top grade."

  "Oh my god, what are you going to do again? My daughter is only 15 years old! Don't be like this, don't be like this. I beg of you, please, I beg of you!" Suddenly, a mournful cry came from the opposite side of the street.

  I recommend a good new book "Dog God", stable updates, and the quality is not bad. Friends who are troubled by book scarcity can take a look, hehe.
