Chapter 567: Chapter 0567: A Wooden Spear 3_1

Zhao Yong walked over to the two of them, handing the gun to an impatient Xibao, and answering Ye Zhengjun’s question, "Our troops have no shortage of talent. I found a brother named Wang Dazhuang who had been a carpenter for several years before he enlisted. I asked him to carve this pistol in his spare time, and it’s finally finished today. Sir, doesn’t it look like the small grain rifle used in the War of Resistance?"

Ye Zhengjun took a look, "Yes, indeed. It’s practically identical, the craftsmanship is excellent."

"Of course, our soldiers are the best. Each one has his own skills."

Xibao, holding the gun, was so ecstatic that he almost floated off the ground.

Smoothly sliding off from Ye Zhengjun, he clumsily held the gun towards the soldiers who were still running. His round body posture looked a bit silly, but mimicked the soldiers’ shooting positions perfectly, even making gun noises with his mouth.

"Good lad, he’s got talent!" Ye Zhengjun couldn’t help but praise.

"Comrade, why did you bring him out? It’s quite cold right now." Guo Xiuying, especially meticulous when it came to looking after children, if not Xibao wouldn’t have grown so robust and chubby.

Ye Zhengjun couldn’t help but laugh, "When I came across him, he was crying on the floor, wanting to go out and play."

Zhao Yong understood when he heard this and started laughing as well.

Children, huh? Which one doesn’t enjoy playing outside? Especially boys, being naughty is their nature. He himself used to climb trees to catch birds, swim in the river to catch fish as a kid, got spanked countless times, but he remained undaunted.

Just as they were talking, Han Ping and another soldier, Bai Lie were seen approaching with a rabbit in hand.

"Where did the rabbit come from?" Ye Zhengjun and Zhao Yong asked in unison.

Han Ping and Bai Lie both saluted with beaming smiles. After they returned the salute, Han Ping responded: "The cavalary unit caught it. Did you not know they went out for training on horseback this afternoon? They just happened to run into this wild rabbit scurrying around and caught it. The last time, Commander Lu got a bottle of medicinal oil made by your wife for me to use. Your wife also made me a pair of sheepskin knee and elbow protectors. The oil is really effective, lately my joints don’t hurt as much as they used to. So, I asked the cavalry unit for this rabbit as a thank you gift for your wife!"

"Good! Grateful and ready to repay – that’s how it should be!" praised Ye Zhengjun.

Han Ping and Bai Lie together presented the rabbit to Feng Qingxue. Feng Qingxue kept shaking her head, "How much can my child and I eat? Everyone has already sent so many things, this rabbit wasn’t easy to come by, you all should keep it for yourselves."

"Sister, you just take it. If we keep it, how do we split it? It wouldn’t even be enough for one bite per person."

After hearing Han Ping’s suggestion, Feng Qingxue replied: "That’s easy, ask the cooking team to make soup, Everyone can have a taste, right? Han, day in and day out, you guys are busy with training and studying, much busier than us, anytime there is something good to eat, just save it for yourself to replenish your strength, no need to always consider us."

"Even a pot of soup will not be enough to go around, sister, just accept it without being so polite." Han Ping hung the rabbit on the wall outside the door and then took out a dagger to skin it. He was worried that Feng Qingxue might not have the courage to skin the rabbit herself, he peeled off the entire layer of rabbit’s skin and said to Feng Qingxue, "Sister, I’ll take the rabbit skin. I’ll ask Xiaowang to tan it before sending it over to make a fur collar for Xibao."

After saying this, the two men ran off, leaving only a wild rabbit hanging on the wall, its bloody flesh instantly frozen by the cold air.
