Monk Wei glanced at the village at the foot of the mountain and said with some disdain: "Captain, please stop kidding me. How can there be any masters in this small ravine?"

"Hey~!"

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "You are quite crazy, don't you know there are people outside the world and there are mountains outside the mountains?"

"There can't be masters in this small ravine. So according to what you say, where can masters be found?"

"Well..."

Monk Wei was speechless for a moment. It seemed that no one had stipulated where this master should live.

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Don't be too crazy, kid. There is someone here, and you may not be his opponent."

Looking at Li Yunlong who looked confident, Monk Wei couldn't help but become suspicious, and quickly asked: "Even if there is a master here, how do you know about it, captain?"

"I heard that!"

Li Yunlong said casually: "I heard something from a soldier before, saying that there is a young man in Duanjiagou who has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He is a master. Anyway, what he said is miraculous."

"I don't know if it's true or not. Let's go and see it today."

Monk Wei smiled and said, "If there really is such a person, I would like to compete with him."

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "If we can draw him into our team, if you want to compete, there will be many opportunities in the future. As for today? You still have to pay attention."

Monk Wei scratched his head and said, "Then he must be a real master, he can't just blow it off!"

"If he is a idiot, then there is no need for us to recruit him!"

Li Yunlong said: "That's right, I don't accept waste under my command."

"Let's act according to circumstances when the time comes!"

The group of people soon arrived at the entrance of the village.

At this time, two old men were sitting at the entrance of the village, chatting under a big tree.

Seeing a stranger entering the village, the two old men looked at Li Yunlong and others warily.

After all, these are troubled times, and Li Yunlong and the others are wearing casual clothes and cannot identify their identities.

It can be seen that the two old men are very nervous. Looking at people like Li Yunlong, they don't seem like good people.

Either a bandit or a traitor!

Li Yunlong walked over with a smile and said with a smile: "You two gentlemen, are resting here!"

One of the old men stood up shakily on a cane and asked politely: "I wonder what the guests are doing when they come to our Duanjiagou?"

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Uncle, don't be nervous, we are not bad people."

The old man just smiled and said nothing.

Bandits and traitors also say that?

Who knows what these people do?

Li Yunlong smiled and explained: "We are here to see a friend!"

"I dare to ask, is there a young man named Duan Peng in your village?"

"Duan Peng?"

The old man showed a thoughtful expression, thought for a while and said: "In our Duanjiagou, most of the families have the surname Duan. There are only a hundred or so families. I know everyone. I have never heard of anyone whose boy is named Duan."

Peng!"

"You're not looking for the wrong one, are you?"

Li Yunlong looked at the old man's smiling face and didn't know whether what he said was true or false.

But it can be seen that the old man is a little nervous and is still wary of Li Yunlong and the others.

Maybe the old man thought that Li Yunlong and the others were here to trouble Duan Peng, so he didn't say anything on purpose.

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Isn't this the only Duanjiagou in Heyuan County?"

The old man nodded and said: "In Heyuan County, our village is indeed the only one called Duanjiagou, but there is really no Duan Peng in this village."

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Uncle, let's not mention Duan Peng. How was last year's harvest?"

The old man said with a smile: "Last year was pretty good. We old bones finally survived another winter, but I don't know what the situation will be like this year!"

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "There have been several heavy snowfalls in winter. It is said that auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, so this year will definitely be the same."

The old man smiled and said: "Of course we are all looking forward to the harvest, but who can say for sure!"

"What's more, the war is now in chaos. Even if there is no natural disaster, there will be human disaster!"

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "That's not bad. This little naughty little devil has bullied us common people, right?"

"Small……"

The old man's expression changed, he waved his hand quickly and said, "I dare not say that, they are all from the imperial army!"

"You should also be careful. If the imperial army and those soldiers hear it, it will not be a joke."

"Haha~!"

Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Don't be nervous, sir. Didn't I just say that we are not bad people."

"Seeing that you are so afraid of the little devils and those traitors, I know that these gangsters must have bullied us common people."

"But don't worry, things will definitely get better and better in the future."

"Sooner or later we will drive away all these stupid little devils."

"We can then live a peaceful life."

The old man just smiled and didn't answer, obviously he was still wary of Li Yunlong and the others.

Li Yunlong then said: "Uncle, when you hear my accent, where do I come from?"

The old man thought for a moment and said, "From what I hear with your accent, you are not from Shanxi. You seem to be from the south!"

"Haha~!"

Li Yunlong laughed and said: "Uncle, you are indeed well-informed. We came from Hubei, Henan and Anhui. We first arrived in northern Shaanxi, and only after the nasty little Japs came did we come to Shanxi to fight against the Japs."

Hearing this, the old man was slightly surprised and asked: "You are the Eighth Route Army!"

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Yes, we are the Eighth Route Army, specially here to fight the Japanese."

"The Eighth Route Army is our common people's team. We are preparing to develop base areas in this area. Our main force has already arrived, so our good days are coming in the future."

"Then we no longer have to worry about being bullied by little devils."

At this time, another old man who had never spoken suddenly said: "Old Fourth! I don't think these young men are bad people."

The old man, known as Lao Si, quickly said with a smile: "I never said you were bad people."

"Haha~!"

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter even if you say it."

While they were talking, a group of people came out of the village, including men and women, old and young.

Apparently, everyone knew that strangers were coming, and they were afraid that something might happen, so they rushed over to take a look.

At this time, Li Yunlong saw Duan Peng in the crowd. He saw Duan Peng rushing to the front, looking at Li Yunlong and others with eyes filled with vigilance.

Li Yunlong greeted him with a smile.

Duan Peng asked: "Who are these elder brothers?"

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "I came here just to see you!"

"Find me?"

Duan Peng was confused.

At this time, Monk Wei glanced at Duan Peng and couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He approached Li Yunlong and said softly: "Captain, you are indeed a master."

Li Yunlong smiled and said to Duan Peng: "That's right, we came here specifically to find you. Don't be nervous, we don't have any ill intentions."

Li Yunlong glanced at the people present, and then said: "How about we find a place to have a good chat?"

Duan Peng was also a very brave man, so he nodded and said, "Then let's go to the woods over there and have a chat!"

The identities of these people in front of him were unknown, so Duan Peng naturally did not dare to take it home rashly. After all, there was an old lady at home!

There is a small forest next to the village, which is cool inside and relatively quiet at the moment.

Li Yunlong nodded slightly, and then led Monk Wei and others over first.

Duan Peng exchanged a few words with the villagers and then walked over.

Li Yunlong couldn't help cursing in his heart: Damn! Going into the woods with a big man.

Fortunately, it was in broad daylight and in public!

Otherwise, it might really be misunderstood.

After Duan Peng came over, Li Yunlong said straight to the point: "I won't beat around the bush. I heard that you have good skills and are a man. Are you interested in working with us?"
