Chapter 445: Empty Village
Xuan Qingzi stood at the door and looked into the house vigilantly, and there was a pot of prepared sweet potatoes on the stove next to him, which was not steaming, and it was estimated that it had been left for a long time.
There was no fire in the pit, and although the temperature inside the house was warmer than outside, it was not hot, and there should have been no one for a few hours.
The curtains of the two rooms inside were lowered, and no one could be seen inside.
Xuan Qingzi turned his head and shook his head at Liu Kun, signaling that he didn't see anyone, and then walked into the room carefully.
I lifted the curtain on the right side and looked at it, but there was no one. I turned around and went to the left side to take a look, but there was no one either.
"Brother Kun, there's no one in the house." Xuan Qingzi said when he returned to the door.
Liu Kun felt that something was not quite right, looked around, asked Ah Lian to follow him, and the others were vigilant around, and then entered the house.
The things in the house are all intact and unbroken, not like a devil has ever come.
However, Liu Kun found that a wooden box in the room on the right was unlocked, while the box in the room on the left was locked.
He had seen this kind of wooden box, which he had in his grandfather's house before, and it was used to store clothes and some items, which was equivalent to the current cabinet.
He looked at Xuan Qingzi and Ah Lian and made a gesture, meaning to be careful of the box.
Then the three of them walked over together, and they pulled out their guns and pointed them at the box.
Liu Kun nodded, and then opened the lid of the box violently.
There were no imaginary people inside, but clothes were placed in a mess.
"Brother Kun, are all the people in this village leaving?"
Xuan Qingzi's face was full of question marks.
Liu Kun put away the gun, lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then casually rummaged through the box a few times, and shook his head in a puzzled tone: "Not sure." Judging by the situation here, the family should have been away for at least a few hours, and it is impossible to work in the fields in the winter, where can they go? ”
"Husband, will it be to Chengxian?"
"Chengxian? You can't go to Chengxian County and the whole village, right?
Besides, there are bound to be many old people in a village who can't walk far, and they basically won't leave their homes.
Wrong! Let's go to the next one. ”
After Liu Kun finished speaking, he walked out directly and climbed over the wall into the house next door.
Again, the situation of this family is exactly the same as the previous one, the food is cold, the temperature in the house is not high, and the things are in good condition.
"Let's take a look at a few houses nearby, is it the same as these two families?"
"Yes!"
Everyone hurriedly searched around the nearby homes in pairs, and it was true that as Liu Kun said, every family was a situation.
As soon as Liu Kun listened to everyone's report, he couldn't help frowning, lit a cigarette, and sat on the wooden tunzi in the courtyard and thought silently.
Basically, the temperature of all the houses is about the same, which means that these people leave at the same time.
So what exactly caused them to leave the house at the same time?
Suddenly, a question occurred to him.
"When you went to someone else's house just now, were the things in the cabinet messy?"
"yes, it's a mess inside."
"The house I went to was the same, and the boxes were full of tattered clothes."
When Liu Kun heard this, his eyes narrowed, and then asked, "Didn't you see the money?" ”
"Nope."
"I haven't seen a single one."
The answer was the same, basically the same.
"Looks like the people here must have been transferred." Liu Kun took a puff of cigarette, stood up and said.
"Transferred? Why? Is the devil coming? But nothing has been destroyed, huh? Xuan Qingzi was a little puzzled.
If the people of a village are transferred at the same time, it is basically because the devil is coming.
But if the Japanese really came to sweep it, it would never be possible to keep the things of every household so intact.
Liu Kun shook his head and explained in an uncertain tone: "I suspect that these people may know that the devil is coming, and they are likely to kill people, so they all left." ”
"Huh? How can it be?! When will the devil sweep the common people know? No way! I think there are other reasons. Xuan Qingzi shook his head and retorted.
"And what if someone told them?"
"Someone told? Brother Kun, do you mean that there are people among the devils who report to the people? ”
"Huh?" Liu Kun nodded, and then said, "Not only that, but I also suspect that there will be a battle in Chengxian today.
Let's go, go to Chengxian right away. ”
Liu Kun patted his buttocks, threw away the cigarette butts, and left with everyone, walking quickly in the direction of Chengxian.
He suspected that it was likely that the civilian guerrillas were going to assassinate Kanda Anaka today, so he transferred all the nearby villagers in advance to prevent the devils from starting to sweep and slaughter the village in a fit of rage.
"Don't do it now! It's not easy to startle the snake. ”
Liu Kun prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the guerrillas would not move.
If the assassination is successful, his mission is tantamount to failure, because he did not participate.
Losing a loss will also increase the difficulty of the next assassination. In case all the partisans were killed, his mission would still not be completed.
Back on the road, Liu Kun didn't care if it would be exposed, took out the car, and immediately drove to Chengxian.
As expected, he didn't run into anyone on the way, and it seemed that the nearby villagers had left early.
At this time, in Chengxian County, the second floor of a theater garden was full of people.
Knocking melon seeds, drinking tea, and listening to the play.
There were a few people near the window, one in his thirties, and several young people, who looked down the road from time to time along the window, and their attention was not focused on the opera.
There is also a restaurant across the road, and there is also a table of people on the second floor, looking around from time to time, and occasionally making a few gestures to the side of the opera garden.
"Captain, could our information be wrong? Didn't you say that Anaka Kanda was going to pass from here today? Why are you still here? A young man asked in a low voice.
"The intelligence should be right, it may be that the devil was delayed by something, wait and see." The man in his thirties whispered.
"But what if they take a detour? We're going to lose our point, this best chance. ”
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Shut up and stare down. ”
"Oh!"
The young man was scolded and continued to observe the street downstairs.
On the stage, soon the song Mulan finished singing, and the actor stepped back after thanking him and walked up to a storyteller.
The middle-aged man also began to get anxious in his heart.
Looking up at the sun that had begun to set, he gestured to the table in the restaurant opposite.
The people in the restaurant nodded, and one of them immediately got up and left, went downstairs, and walked to the right.
According to the intelligence, Lieutenant General Kanda passed through here today, and they were preparing to assassinate the Japanese leader.
But after most of the day, Kanda Anzhong did not appear, and the middle-aged man wondered if there was something wrong with the intelligence.
