Chapter 27: The Hunt (4)
Chapter 27: The Hunt (4)
We didn't go to the safe house, and after a series of events, the safe house was no longer safe.
After Sun Heng returned to the regimental headquarters of the 1008 regiment, he was taken for questioning by one of their regimental staff officers. Fortunately, Sun Heng was very vigilant and didn't tell the truth, otherwise, we might have been arrested by now.
Listening to him, their regimental staff officer wanted to ask about my whereabouts from his mouth at first, but he was quite polite to him. Later, when the staff officer found out from some clues that Sun Heng could not tell my whereabouts, he changed his face. He ordered Sun Heng to be locked up in a confinement room and forced me to ask about my whereabouts.
Sun Heng didn't tell the truth in the end, but insisted that he and I fled back on foot. As for me, he said I was on the road and didn't know when I got lost. Sun Heng also asked to send someone to find me, and he almost deceived the staff officer at one point.
It's a pity that in the end, he was recognized by that staff officer, and Sun Heng was also locked in the confinement room for introspection until I went to rescue him.
After hearing his experience this night, I couldn't help laughing: "It seems that there are really a lot of people who want my head now, but I don't know who can finally get my head in exchange for the huge sum of five million." β
Sun Heng listened to my words, and Zhengse said: "Although five million is indeed a huge amount of money, not all people will be tempted to kill people for this. I think someone will step up and help us. Like some people in our regiment, who disregard justice for the sake of money, after all, they are still a minority......"
I nodded and pointed at Sun Heng: "You are not that kind of person, otherwise, I am afraid that I will have died three hundred times......"
Sun Heng smiled bitterly: "Don't say me so noblely, in fact, I'm just doing my duty." I'm a ...... I can tell you now, in fact, I am a special soldier, belonging to a department specially set up by the state, which is equivalent to what ordinary people often call agents and spies. As you may have heard, it is the duty of people like me to supervise certain people in the military who have evil intentions and are trying to betray the interests of the country, and to identify and identify enemy spies who have infiltrated our army. In a word, I am an agent in our army. β
I probably understood what he meant, and I got to know him officially. He is the one who specializes in striking at those who try to sell his country for glory, and he is also the one who specializes in cracking down on the agents of enemy countries who infiltrate our country. The kind of people who are equivalent to anti-agents are those who protect our country's intelligence and interests.
As for what the unit to which he belongs is called, he did not say, and I will not ask, these should be state secrets and cannot be passed on casually.
I feel a little more secure now, at least a little more secure than I was when I didn't know anything. There's an agent - someone like 007 protecting me, so what am I afraid of?
So I returned the pistol to Sun Heng again: "It's better for you to hold it, it can play its real role in your hands." β
Sun Heng smiled: "Actually, you are very good, just this time you rescued me, it is enough to show that your wit and courage are better than most people." I'll keep the gun first, and I'll get you a gun if I can. When the time comes, I will teach you to shoot, strengthen our strength, and ensure our own safety......"
I nodded, "I'll talk about that then." Now I'm thinking, where can we go? Where is it safe? β
When Sun Heng heard this, he couldn't speak for a long time.
I was also silent because I didn't know where to go to be safe.
Sun Heng thought for a long time before saying, "I think there is only one place that is safe now, but I don't know if it will be ...... if you go to that place."
I immediately understood what he meant: "You're talking about your department, right?" I wouldn't have been allowed to go there. I know it's not a place for someone like me to get into, and you don't have to think about taking me there. β
Sun Heng frowned and said, "In view of the confidentiality regulations, I really can't take you there." But now that we have nowhere else to go, are we just waiting for the killers to kill us? β
I forced a laugh: "It's okay, it's a big deal, you go back first, I'll figure out a way by myself, maybe I can think of a way to escape." β
Sun Heng glanced at me, his face turned straight, and said, "Who do you think of me?" Am I the kind of person who cares only about myself and no one else? You underestimate me Sun Heng too much, not to mention that you saved me just now, even if it's just a passerby I don't know, when he is in danger, I won't run for my life without saving him. On my first day in the army, I had already made up my mind that I would never be like that! β
I felt that I had said the wrong thing, so I hurriedly smiled and said, "It's me who said the wrong thing, don't be angry." I know you're not that kind of person! It's just that in the current situation, if we run away together, we might be killed together. If you are separated, you can live completely. We don't need to die together......"
Sun Heng said angrily: "I said it, I won't leave you alone to escape, you don't have to say any more." β
When I saw him angry, I was moved, so I had to change the subject: "Then tell me, what should we do now?" You can't just wait in the car, can you? β
Sun Heng thought for a while: "Of course not. Our car was borrowed, and sooner or later it will be found out by those who want our lives, and to be honest, we should immediately abandon it and find a way to escape. But I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to travel long distances, so I didn't say it. β
I knew that I was a problem with him, and whispered, "Do you think we can lose this car and then borrow another one?" β
Sun Heng shook his head: "No, I've already said it, such a thing can't be done again." β
I sighed secretly and said, "Then do you have any money on you now?" Or let's take the bus, or the train. β
Sun Heng touched his pocket and said with a wry smile: "I'm very poor now, not to mention money, I don't even have a piece of paper......" He suddenly stopped talking, but lowered his head and pondered.
I was about to ask him if he had something in mind, but he exclaimed, "By the way, we have money." β
Looking at the surprise on his face, I was a little surprised: "Why is there money again?" β
Sun Heng smiled: "If you don't talk about money, I'm about to forget it." Each of us has a fund for action. This operation fund is not allowed to be used casually. But now that we have an emergency, we can use it according to the regulations. Let's go and take out the money, buy a second-hand car, change the car and continue to run...... As for where to go, when the time comes, there will be a road before the car reaches the mountain, don't you say? β
I was also overjoyed, and hurriedly urged him: "Then don't hurry up and find the nearest second-hand car dealer to change cars, I'm afraid they will find us along this police car......"
Sun Heng immediately started the police car on the road and started our new fugitive career......
This time Sun Heng let me gain knowledge, we were in a bank, Sun Heng only said a few words, the manager of the bank personally received us, and then we got a large amount of money.
In the past, I couldn't even think about it, who has ever seen a person who doesn't want anything to withdraw money? I don't have a card, no passbook, no identification, I just take money in a few words, and I say something that no one will believe, and it happened right in front of my eyes.
Sun Heng has a soft spot for jeeps, probably because he is used to driving military jeeps, so we changed to a second-hand jeep. The shape of this car looks a bit old, but Sun Heng said that its engine is very good and the price is cheap, so he bought it.
Ignoring Sun Heng's objections, I spent a little money and asked the owner of the car dealership to help us send the police car to the public security bureau here, and then ask the public security bureau to send it back to the original police station.
The reason why Sun Heng objected to me doing this was actually because he was afraid of revealing the fact that we changed cars and ran away, and I also knew his thoughts. The reason I insisted on doing this was because I had already thought of a way that I was confident that the killers would never find us again.
I saw a half-new Honda motorcycle in the second-hand car dealership, so I asked Sun Heng to buy it. Together with the owner of the dealership, we removed the seats in the back of the jeep and loaded the motorcycle inside.
Sun Heng asked me why I wanted to buy an old motorcycle, and I explained with a smile: "Because the place we are going to can use it." β
Sun Heng didn't ask any more questions, but I bought a small iron oil drum and some other things in a store next to the car dealership.
By the time we got to the gas station, I filled the tin oil drum with gasoline and prepared it for future use.
Sun Heng didn't ask where I was going, he probably guessed it, when he passed by a mobile phone store, he stopped the car, went in to buy two mobile phones, got a mobile phone card, paid the fee, and looked like he was going to travel far.
We also prepared a lot of food and water and stuffed a jeep to the brim. A lot of people who see us buying things look very strange.
Naturally, we couldn't take care of that, so we just got ready and drove away.
When we were on the road, we basically didn't stop. When you are hungry, you eat the food we have prepared, when you are thirsty, you drink the water we have prepared, and unless you have to go to the toilet, you will stay in the car and run along the road I pointed out to Sun Heng.
As time went on, we ran out of food and water in our cars. Sun Heng finally couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you want to do this?" Will it pose any danger to your family? β
I smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not going back to my home, I'm not going to my hometown." My hometown is not safe right now, and I don't want to endanger my family. This time, we went to take refuge with just an outsider. β
Sun Hengqi said: "Outsiders? Let's take refuge with an outsider, this ...... Will it work? β
I said with certainty, "Trust me, it will be fine!" β
Sun Heng didn't ask any more questions, concentrated on driving, and his expression became a little relaxed.
The path I am pointing to is getting closer and closer to my hometown, and it is getting harder and harder to follow.
My hometown is in the middle of the mountains, and the road construction is very backward. Although there are roads in many places, they are all dirt roads, and there is only one lane, which is very difficult to walk.
Sun Heng's driving skills were originally very good, but when he encountered such a road, he could only drive slowly and cautiously, for fear that he would accidentally rush out of the road and fall down the cliff.
I directly instructed him to drive to a farmer's rice farm less than 100 kilometers from my hometown. When Sun Heng stopped the car, someone was already talking in the farmer's earthen house: "Whose car is it?" You go and see ......"
The person who spoke was a middle-aged farmer, although he was only forty years old this year, but because of the perennial fatigue and the wind and sun, he looked at least fifty.
The peasant uncle came out of his house, looked at it, and exclaimed, "Is it the Golden Warehouse?" How do you have a car? Aren't you reading? β
I stepped forward with a smile: "Uncle Chen, don't be in a hurry to ask me first, let me introduce you, this is my friend and my teacher in college, surnamed Sun, called Sun Heng." β
Uncle Chen hurriedly said: "Oh, it's Mr. Sun, come into the house, come into the house, I'm sorry, I don't know you, I'm slacking you......"
Sun Heng glanced at me, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Uncle Chen's hand: "Uncle Chen, you are too polite, you just call me Sun Heng, what teacher is not a teacher, this is not a school, don't be so polite." β
Uncle Chen smiled, looking very happy: "Okay, I'll call you Sun Heng, Sun Heng, come into the house and sit." By the way, how did you come to our poor ravine with Jincang? We're too poor here, I'm afraid we won't be able to entertain you......"
I hurriedly said, "Uncle Chen, you are welcome. We didn't come to your house either. β
Uncle Chen let out an "oh": "Then where are you from?" Won't it be to you...... Ahh......h
I smiled bitterly, but I really had to admit: "Just go to my sister, don't laugh at me." Mr. Sun heard me talk about my sister and wanted to help her go to college, so she came with me to have a look. Don't overthink it. β
Uncle Chen was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "Teacher Sun is really a good person!" The child in that family is very smart, hardworking, and has always done well in her studies, but unfortunately her family conditions are not good, and there is no money for her to go to college...... Hey, she's a hard-working child...... It would be great if Teacher Sun could help, and I would be the first to thank you for the child. Thank you......" Uncle Chen spoke, bending down and bowing to Sun Heng.
Sun Heng was taken aback, hurriedly stopped Uncle Chen, and glanced back at me, with a blaming look in his eyes.
I hurriedly said, "Uncle Chen, don't delay our time, I'll come to see you when I have time later." Now we're going to get down to business. By the way, Mr. Sun's car can't go up, so I'll lend it to you, you can help watch it, don't let people move. β
Uncle Chen hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I'll watch." No one in my place will touch it. β
I smiled and said, "The road ahead is too bad, this car can't drive up, and it will occupy your place for a few days." We also have a motorcycle in the back of the car, and you can help us in a moment, and we will get down and drive. β
Uncle Chen hurriedly stepped forward to help and got the second-hand Honda motorcycle down with us.
When Uncle Chen saw this motorcycle, he made a fuss and said, "Mr. Sun is really a rich man, driving a big car and carrying a new motorcycle, tsk...... Really rich people. β
Sun Heng didn't know how to answer, so I said for him: "That's right, otherwise, how can I help my sister go to college?" You know, it costs a lot of money to go to college......"
Uncle Chen nodded, looking very understanding.
I said goodbye to Uncle Chen with Sun Heng, and I drove the motorcycle and took Sun Heng along the muddy mountain road to continue walking.
I don't know how to drive, but I can drive a motorcycle. And because I learned it on the dirt road we have here, the technique is really not ordinarily good. On a dirt trail like this, I can still drive with several people and it will be smooth.
Sun Hengzhi didn't say anything because of this, he only blamed me for not lying to Uncle Chen. I had no choice but to explain, "The people in the country are very faithful, and if I don't, they'll doubt where you come from." In that case, within three days, all sorts of speculation will come out, and our plan will most likely fail. Now when I say this, you will become a good person in the eyes of the villagers, and they will not have any suspicion when dealing with good people. β
Sun Heng understood my original intention, but he was still a little puzzled: "Didn't your sister live with you?" Didn't you say you wouldn't go back to your hometown? β
I smiled wryly, "Do you believe that there is still such a thing as a finger for marriage?" β
Sun Heng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It turned out that it was not your sister, but your fiancΓ©e...... I see, haha, it turns out that you still have such a thing, and you have confused me. β
I hurriedly said: "Don't laugh at me, what era is this, I won't take what those old people do...... Besides, I really want to put my ...... My sister took her to the school to audit, and her grades have always been good, but she dropped out because her family was poor and couldn't afford to go to college......"
Sun Heng was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "I think this matter will be done according to what you say, I still have a sum of money in my hand, and I will be your unmarried...... No, the tuition fee for being your sister is enough, and when you see your sister in a while, you will do what you just said. β
Sun Heng's words were a little unexpected to me, and I couldn't help but say, "Isn't this okay? I'm just saying it casually, not really wanting your money. Besides, your money is your money, and you can't use it for any other purpose. β
Sun Heng insisted on what he meant: "It's okay, I'll just say it's over when the time comes." Don't say anything more, just do it. There was a pause: "When we go to disturb your sister's family this time, we must say something no, do you still let us eat and drink for nothing at your sister's house?" β
I smiled, "Thank you." We countrymen are very hospitable, and it is normal to eat and drink for nothing, no more than people in the city, who need money for everything. β
Sun Heng also smiled: "I was originally from the countryside, when I was young, we were the same there as you here, basically as long as it was eating, if someone was eating, the host would take the initiative to invite guests to eat together...... But then the economy developed, and everyone became rich, but instead they learned from the city people, and everything was measured by money......"
I knew he was a little homesick, so he said, "You think this is your hometown when you were a child, and we will stay here for a while, and when we think of a way to save our lives, or if Wanlong will be completely wiped out, we will go back." β
Sun Heng nodded: "Now it's the only way to go." It's so remote that no one in my hometown will find it. We will definitely be safe here. β
I laughed, "Of course, otherwise I would have brought you here?" By the way, we must not say anything about being hunted down and killed. I'm worried about scaring my sister and them, and that's not good. β
Sun Heng said: "This is natural, you can rest assured, I will keep my mouth shut." β
I told Sun Heng some details to pay attention to, Sun Heng agreed one by one, and we basically went to my sister's house.
This sister of mine has the surname Dongfang, and her single name is a jade character. The surname Dongfang is very rare on our side, except for Dongfang Yu's family, there is only Dongfang Yu's uncle's family.
Dongfang Yu and his family moved from a long way ago, and it was a long time ago, and it is no longer remembered by the locals. Dongfang Yu's father is called Dongfang Yong, I heard others say that he was originally called Dongfang Zhongyong, but later in order to be closer to the people on our side, he changed it to three words - Dongfang Yong. The names of the people on our side are usually three words, occasionally two words, but there is never a four-word one.
