Chapter 46: The Black Mountain Cave
The mill and the stone went to the Black Mountain Cave, and in order to avoid startling Niu Er and Xiao Zhuge , they first learned a cuckoo call, which is a unique way of communication with the militia.
Niu Er and Xiao Zhuge in the cave are no strangers to this kind of voice, and once in a casual conversation with Nian Zi and Shi at home, Nian Zi mentioned an accident during the Anti-Japanese War. At that time, he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, young and strong, with good legs and feet, and this was the first time he went on a mission. This time, the intelligence mission was originally very smooth, but there was an unexpected change!
When he came, the shopkeeper repeatedly told him that when he arrived at the place, he must observe the terrain and observe all the movements there, for example, this time he is on the mountain, first of all, he must observe the natural situation on the mountain, for example, you are the bird on the tree, the grass on the ground, if there is a bird on the tree, it means that the situation is normal, if the weeds around the road have not been stepped on, especially a large area has not been stepped on, the name of the insects, the birds are playing, it is normal; On the contrary, it is necessary to be vigilant! For every person who was born and raised in this area, they are familiar with every plant and tree here, and as a qualified intelligence officer, they must be familiar with everything here, so that every tree, every corner, and every stone and rock must be familiar by heart!
The shopkeeper said when he was leaving, do you know who you are communicating with this time?
The mill shook his head in confusion and said, I don't know what to do.
Let me tell you, it's Xu Jian'an, an old intelligence officer you admire!
When he heard that it was Lao Xu, he jumped up happily and said, Okay, I must be as brave and witty as him and complete this mission!
When he was halfway up the mountain, at a fork in the road on a downhill slope, he found a large patch of trampled weeds, which according to judgment had just been trampled on, and followed the trampled weeds all the way to another road. He glanced at the road, which was a shortcut to the junction of the junctions. At that time, he thought, the weeds that were stepped on were messy, they were stepped on by many people, why did they go to our joint location? Could it be that things have changed? The shopkeeper told him that once he found a suspicious situation, he would return immediately, cancel the joint, and resolutely not take risks, if he encountered an extraordinary situation, he could not let them catch it even if he died, which was determined by the nature of the work, and he must remember!
Return? This is an opportunity that I have fought for many times before I won it! How precious, how boring it is to return without success! When I came, the shopkeeper said, go, Lao Xu is good, you must not be wrong, we believe you! Who doesn't know Lao Xu's prestige! As a newcomer, I accepted the mission for the first time and went back like this, isn't this an escape? Even if you die, you have to see what happens, so it's too coward to go back like this! Go, whether he is a mountain of swords or a sea of fire, you must let Lao Xu see, if he can do it, I can do it too!
In the end, after a fierce ideological struggle, the mill decided to take a look! Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!
He did not dare to slack off, and vigilance forced him to avoid the path he walked, and went around to a spot not far from the joint, hiding behind a rock.
After his cautious "cuckoo, cuckoo", the other party hesitated for a long time and did not respond. At this time, the grinder tightened the string of "danger"! Didn't the connector come? No way? The weeds that were stepped on on the way were clearly people's footprints, how could there be no one? Why don't I try again?
Just when the mill wanted to signal again, he heard someone on the other side shouting: Run! There is a case!
As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of "Bah, Bah, Bah" gunshots, and they shot together! The mill turned sharply, turned around and ran down the mountain! The footsteps on the opposite side, the sound of gunfire, chased after him quickly, and the crushing man could only bend over, and ran down the bush in an S-shape! He thought as he ran, it's over, this time it's over, I shouldn't, I shouldn't have listened to the shopkeeper, I regret it, it's all my own inadequacy! I didn't get the meritorious performance, and I guess my life will be put into it!
At this moment, from the flanks came the sound of gunfire in return, accompanied by a loud whistle, and a fierce battle ensued between the two sides! Taking advantage of this time, the mill quickly ran down the mountain and escaped!
While chatting, Niu Er's eyes widened and said, the person who ran down the mountain turned out to be you! Do you know who the people who fought against the Imperial Allied Army were?
The mill shook his head, at that time, I just ran away, frightened, and I still had time to take a closer look!
Niu Eryi tilted his head and said, look, this is not what you mean enough, someone saved you, you still don't help, how can you take care of yourself and run away, this is not righteous!
Grinder hurriedly said, it's me who is wrong, I am young, and I have encountered few things, I didn't think so much about it at the time, I just ran for my life! At this time, Nian Zi listened to Niu Er's question, and said in his heart, hey, could it be that you are the one who saved me?
Niu Er Ha Ha Da Lu smiled and said, by the way, it's me! Coincidentally, it happened that we were a group of seven people, going down the mountain to step on a little passing here, and saw you hiding behind the stone rock sneaky, and heard you learn cuckoo calling, and then the gunshots rang out, and a group of imperial allies and a few devils rushed from the opposite side, we understood what was going on at a glance, it must be an eight-way joint, and was targeted by devils! I am also a bloody Chinese, how can I sit idly by?! My second cow has just joined the gang not long ago, and I have been the second master of the big boss, and I am worried that I didn't have a chance to behave, and I didn't discuss it when I beat him! Do you hear my whistle? That's me informing the brethren. What do you think, it's not trivial for hundreds of us to clean them up, three times five divided by two, surrounded on all sides, and they were cleaned up. At the same time, I also caught the person you connected, and I asked him at that time, are you the eighth way? The man said yes. I said that there are still people like you in the Eight Roads? The man blinked and said, "What kind of person?" I say traitor! The man said, "I am not a traitor!" How do I say this? The man said, "If I'm a traitor, I won't shout for him to run!" I pointed a gun at his nose and said, you say you are not a traitor, why do you want to lead the devil to the joint to persecute your comrades?! Is this what Eight Roads do? I ask you, are you a party member? The man said yes. I said, since you are a party member, then you should not do this, the devil has caught you, you are self-harming, and you can't betray your comrades! A few days ago, your people also sent people to co-opt us, publicized your policies, and talked about some great truths that we had never heard of, which moved our big bosses very much, we were hesitating, but today we met you, you are still a party member, and we have to think about it when we go back! The man said, "Do you think it's easy to die?" They have someone watching over me all the time, and I'm afraid that if I break this thread, I want to die, is it possible? I said, I don't care how you quibble, just rush you to lead the devil to the joint location, and I will conclude that you are a pustule who is greedy for life and afraid of death! Come on, Lao Tzu didn't have time to grind your teeth, I saved you today, sent the Buddha to the west, do good things to the end, go back and have your own people to judge you, they have their own opinions, remember, today it was my Niu Er who saved you! When you go back, you must report it truthfully, and I didn't save you in vain! !
When the man was leaving, he hugged his fist and said, thank you for saving your life today, and you will repay it in the future!
The mill said, yes, since then, I have never been asked to carry out a mission, saying that I did not obey orders and almost broke a big thing! At that time, I was severely reprimanded, and when I finished reporting the situation, someone immediately sent me away, and I was not left for a moment! During that time, I felt uncomfortable for a long time, ashamed, and I always felt that I couldn't hold my head up in front of people!
Niu Er and Xiao Zhuge heard the sound of cuckoo, looked at each other, and also learned to scream, their eyes peeking at the mouth of the tunnel. In an instant, the mill and the stone came out of the tunnel. They were overjoyed to see the mills and stones carrying a lot of things! Oh, you're finally here, we're thirsty and hungry now, hurry up, drink the water first, we're thirsty! The mill said, drink, there is food to eat, there is food to drink, there is enough to drink! You see, there are also covers, oil lamps, flashlights, everything you can think of! Come, and two bottles of wine, and meat, and eat them!
Niu Er picked up a piece of dry food, broke it in half vertically, added the bacon, and devoured it. After eating two cakes and meat, I opened a bottle of wine, and I didn't care about Xiao Zhuge and drank a third of it in one sip, wow, happy, really happy!
Xiao Zhuge looked at Niu Er's embarrassed appearance and said, it's not that he hasn't eaten two meals, as for being hungry like this!
Niu Er said, that can't be done, people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you'll be hungry! If you don't eat two meals, you won't die!
Everyone laughed for a while!
After being full of wine and food, Xiao Zhuge said, how is it, how is the family?
The mill said, it's not good, the house is under surveillance! Team Leader Xu has been to the house and interrogated about your situation, we can only say that we don't know when you left. When he left, he said, "Keep this place under tight control, and once you are discovered, you can't be captured alive, and you will die!"
Damn, this guy, ruthless! Niu Er scolded!
Xiao Zhuge thought for a long time and said, will this matter implicate the eighth master?
Niu Er immediately glared at the bull's eye and said, he dares to move the eighth master, watch me pick his skin!
Let me tell you a secret, do you know who this Team Leader Xu is? Nian Zi glanced at Niu Er and said.
Who? Niu Er asked hurriedly.
He's the old intelligence officer I sent information to me back then!
Niu Er's eyes widened and he said, "Ah", is it him? This bastard, I'm going down the mountain to find him, and settle this old account with him, I don't know what to do!
Xiao Zhuge hurriedly said, you can't be reckless, look at the development of the situation and then make a decision, does the eighth master have any instructions?
I didn't say anything else, just let us tell you, don't leave the Black Mountain Cave, don't expose yourself, let us bring you food from time to time, and nothing else. Our feeling is the same as what you just said, and we are afraid that something will happen to my father, and that Team Leader Xu works
Very serious, very principled, I don't know what he will do to my father? Grinder said worriedly.
Xiao Zhuge said "um", it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, you two brothers should go back first, if there is something at home, you must come and tell us in time, and we can discuss countermeasures as soon as possible! In addition, the entrance to the hole at home must be blocked tightly, and outsiders must not know the road, so as to ensure the smooth flow of this fellow road!
Yes, that's what my dad said. Mill said.
Well, the two children are fine, right? Are the two sisters-in-law okay? Niu Er told me that in the future, don't take the child out to join in the fun, how dangerous! Xiao Zhuge said.
The child is fine, everything is fine. After this incident, don't talk about telling them again, even if you don't say it, they won't dare next time! Mill said.
Well, if you don't have anything to do, hurry back, don't delay, contact you if you have something!
