Chapter Eleven The First Base

  After a while, seven women were brought to the gathering hall. Qin Tian couldn't help but feel emotional when he saw these women. These bandits really knew how to kidnap people - they didn't take any ugly ones, only those with some charm. Seeing the girls crying with red and swollen eyes, Qin Tian quickly comforted them: "Girls, don't cry anymore. I have good news for you - you're saved! If you want to go home, you can go home; if you want to stay, you can stay. We're all brothers and sisters here. We'll avenge your grievances for you. Think about whether you have any relatives to rely on. If not, I advise you to stay. Our brothers will teach you how to shoot guns and martial arts. Then no one will bully you again. If you don't believe me, look at these two sisters."

  Tan Tian said, looking at Bai Xue and Zi Xun, implying that they should show off their skills. Gong Ziqi cheered on the side, but everyone had never seen the skills of Zi Xun and Bai Xue before.

  Zixun was very generous, behind the Taishi chair where Qin Tian sat, there was a painting of a fierce tiger descending from the mountain. This painting had a meaning, the tiger descending from the mountain represented ferocity and tyranny, because the tiger was going to hunt for food. Zixun raised her hand and threw three golden darts, two of which were stuck in the tiger's eyes, and the third one was stuck in the tiger's chest.

  "Great! Awesome! Especially the third dart is the most awesome!" Zhang Jia had the best eyesight, and at a glance, she saw an ant larva under the third dart. Zi Xun's eyesight and control were absolutely top-notch. Zhang Jia had already decided to teach her how to snipe properly. Now it was just a matter of finding the right sniper rifle. The best sniper rifle in this era was the Mauser 98K, but she didn't know if they had any domestically. Another option was the American Springfield sniper rifle.

  Zhang Jia and Qin Tian have the same idea, it's best to let all girls master sniping skills, but the requirements for snipers are really too high, Zi Xun is the first girl Zhang Jia thinks is suitable for sniping.

  Bai Xue showed off her hidden weapon skills, and now that she's familiar with Qin Tian and the others, she's not as shy as before. With a simultaneous swing of both hands, the two candles in the distance went out at the same time. Even Zhang Jia didn't see clearly what kind of hidden weapon Bai Xue had used, it turned out this little girl's hidden weapons were so mysterious and unpredictable.

  "I've made brothers and sisters laugh."

  "Xue Er, how is the lethality of this hidden weapon?" Qin Tian knew that her hidden weapon was a plum blossom needle, which was slightly larger than the big needles used for quilting at home. However, these needles were usually coated with poison; otherwise, it would be difficult to kill an opponent unless one could hit the fatal points.

  "See blood seal throat!" Bai Xue said, Qin Tian felt a chill run down his spine. This little girl was actually the most terrifying one. She will definitely have some achievements in the future.

  These girls all widened their eyes and opened their mouths into O-shapes, isn't this something that only happens in martial arts stories? I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes today.

  "Our relatives were all killed by these bandits, thank you for helping us avenge them, but I don't want to be a bandit." A girl saw Tan Tian and his men being very kind and gathered her courage to say.

  "Miss, bandits are also divided into good and bad. We are the good bandits who specialize in killing bad people." Zi Xun advised, if all the bandits in the world were like Qin Tian's brothers, wouldn't it be a peaceful world?

  "After all, it's just bandits."

  "It doesn't matter, if you don't want to stay, I'll give each of you five hundred yuan tomorrow, and you can go wherever you want." Qin Tian wouldn't force anyone, seeing the girl's persistence he didn't persuade her anymore.

  "Thank you, big brother."

  "I'm staying!"

  This is Fang Cui Lian walking out from behind, she has now changed into clean clothes, which were found by Xue Bai. When Qin Tian saw her, he quickly stood up. Fang Cui Lian was one of the more outstanding girls, but unfortunately, she was the first to be ruined. Qin Tian felt some regret, thinking that if he had come earlier, this girl would not have suffered such humiliation.

  "I'm staying too."

  "I'm staying too."

  With Fang Cui Lian leading the way, in the end only the girl who had spoken chose to leave. Everyone didn't force her, giving her five big oceans, letting her leave at dawn, but hoping she would keep the secret of this place.

  Tan Tian looked at his teammates and said: "I'll take the first pick, Xue Er, Cui Lian will join my team, you guys can figure out the rest."

  Zhang Jia hastily interjected: "I want Zi Xun and Chu Fei, but Big Brother, let's go get a few sniper rifles."

  Tan Tian smiled and said, "There will be, you teach them to shoot first, tomorrow we'll go get those over a thousand guns and ammunition. This mountain stronghold is a bit small, when the sky brightens up let's take a look at the surrounding terrain, hurry up and set up the training ground, as well as various equipment. I need a large number of talents now! Talents!"

  The two women who slept with the master of Hei Lang Zhai also came to the assembly hall in fear, they didn't intend to stay behind. Qin Tian gave each of them five big oceans and told them to leave at dawn.

  Now they have their own base, and each team member also has their own apprentice. In this era, that's what they're called. Qin Tian only had two apprentices, Bai Xue and Fang Cui Lian, because he had more things to take care of. Although each person had a specific object to mentor, during training, everyone was still together. The basic skills were all the same.

  It just so happened that there was a large amount of grain stored in the mountain village, and there were also forty-seven good horses in the stable, which now all belonged to Qin Tian and his group. Qin Tian and the other five had received horse riding training, but it wasn't very refined. The four younger friends' horse riding skills, on the other hand, were extremely proficient, and they could perform various high-difficulty movements with ease. What impressed Qin Tian's group the most was that the four of them could accurately shoot darts while galloping on horseback, with a hit rate of over 80%.

  Chu Fei and his men have their own horses, which are currently being kept in the village where the Communist Party is recovering from injuries. Wang Xinting left behind eleven people to train Chu Fei and his men, Qin Tian, Gong Ziqi, Fu Yulong, Zhang Jia each rode a horse and brought 20 horses, in order to go pick up eleven communists to bring back to the mountain stronghold for recuperation, while also thinking of getting a few horse carts to transport guns and ammunition back.

  Four people and twenty-four horses arrived at the small village very quickly. Lin Shufen saw Qin Tian and others were extremely excited, she didn't sleep all night yesterday, fearing that Qin Tian and others would not come back. Because they were not by her side, Lin Shufen always felt uneasy.

  Tan Tian let the old fellow borrow two horse-drawn carts in the village, and then hired a few old fellow drivers to rush to Feilong Village. All the way, the two big carts full of guns, ammunition, and Chu Fei's horses were transported back to Heiwolf Mountain Stronghold, along with eleven comrades.

  Yesterday evening, eleven comrades had a meeting and agreed that Comrade Lin Shufen would stay with Qin Tian and the others. They are very capable people, and if they can be absorbed into the party's ranks, it will undoubtedly be of great help to the party. Moreover, Lin Shufen is also willing to follow them. Throughout the whole evening, she didn't put down her Browning pistol. However, up until now, she still hasn't fired a single shot.

  Lin Shufen thought about what Qin Tian said, he wanted to teach her how to shoot a gun, she was really looking forward to it! Although she thought about shooting guns, Qin Tian's handsome face couldn't be shaken off. This weirdo is really amazing, if I could find a man like him, that would be great, but why would someone as strong as him look at me, this little girl?

  Things and personnel all went up the mountain, one of the ten communists was Zhang Lan, the secretary of the prefectural committee, but Qin Tian and others did not know, even Lin Shufen did not know that there was another leader among his comrades. For three days, Qin Tian took no action, he and his team were busy setting up a training base, due to limited conditions, Qin Tian and others could only make do.

  Zhang Lan had been observing them all along, and in these days, he found that they were very disciplined. There were many beautiful women around them, but they treated these girls with great respect, just like their own sisters. They also spoke with great tact. What made Zhang Lan most delighted was that every night after dinner, Qin Tian and the others would take turns telling stories to these people, and the protagonists in these stories seemed to be the warriors from his own revolutionary army.

  Tan Tian and the others were all talking about Yang Jingyu, Zhao Yiman, Zhao Dengyu, the five heroes of Langyashan, and the eight women who jumped into the river. These stories didn't match up with the years, Tan Tian had been processed. In order to relieve fatigue and liven up the atmosphere, they would also tell some fairy tales and love stories, which were what Bai Xue and the others loved to hear the most.

  Tan Tian and his team's training program was progressive, after all, there were more girls now, Chu Fei and the other four had no problem with their physical strength, they had already started training some basic combat skills. The focus was on shooting. Tan Tian's marksmanship was fed by bullets, so when training Chu Fei and the others, Tan Tian was equally generous, each person had to fire at least 100 rounds of ammunition every day, then check the training results.

  Chu Fei and their achievements made Qin Tian and the others extremely relieved. These four people grew rapidly, in comparison, Lin Shufen and the others were far behind. However, Lin Shufen was very diligent, while others trained for eight hours, she trained for twelve hours. In order to supplement their physical strength, Qin Tian bought back dozens of sheep and cattle without hesitation. Every day, he would let them eat meat.

  Although the training was hard, they ate more meat in these days than they had eaten in their entire lives, so they didn't feel tired. Gradually, ten Communist Party comrades also joined the training. Because nutrition kept up with them, they recovered quickly.

  A month passed quickly, and the Black Wolf Fort had all the facilities it should have. Zhang Lan and his group were also leaving at this time. Before they left, Qin Tian gave each of them a shotgun with 100 bullets and told them that the gate here would always be open to them.

  This month, Qin Tian personally investigated the situation of three other mountain strongholds. As Meng Tuo and others had said, they were all ruthless bandits like Hei Lang Zhai. Since that's the case, they must be eliminated.

  Tan Tian this time wants to do something more direct, nine people directly go up the mountain, just in their own name worship the mountain, once inside they directly control the main head, those who are guilty of great evil will be killed on the spot. Last time at Hei Lang's den, bandits were killed cleanly, but later regretted it a bit, what if there were people who were forced or had a conscience inside, wouldn't that be mistakenly killing good people? However, after thinking about it, Hei Lang's den didn't have many people, but they were all tough characters, probably won't kill the wrong person.
