Chapter 50: The Way Forward
When the sky was bright, the magpie went out and called the only doctor in the village, and the old doctor gave me a brief examination of the wound and said that the wound was healing well, but I was bleeding too much and needed to recuperate for a while.
How does this work? I thought to myself, if I stay any longer, the enemy's sword will be on my neck.
So I discussed with the magpie for a while and decided to leave today, I have no problem walking, but there are too many injuries all over my body, and the injury on my calf also makes me limp when I walk, we don't have time, we can walk a day earlier, we will be safe a day earlier.
After the meal, the magpie went to thank the old man, and then the magpie and I set off, and the old man waved at us in front of the door with his grandson.
I responded politely.
Later, I often saw a lot of negative news about this country, but I didn't ridicule it like most people, thinking that the people of this country are also the kind of poor people.
Because I know very well in my heart that the style of a country has little to do with the local people.
I've been helped by the local people in this country, and their character is so simple that as long as you're not a heinous bastard, they'll be happy to help you.
What the state has done, should the people bear it? Then I don't think that's right, or that sentence, some things can't be generalized.
We walked in the village, and the people here looked at us curiously, after all, we are now fully armed, and these residents know that it was the old man who saved me, so they are not afraid.
There were even a few kids running over to touch the stub in my hand, and I could only wave them away in a friendly way.
The magpie rolled his eyes at me, and I limped behind with an awkward smile.
We are not short of weapons, ammunition and food for the time being, and even if we encounter enemy troops, we will be able to delay for a while.
The village is a very simple village, and the people here are too far away from the city, so most of the people live by grazing, and the population is not too small to a dozen families.
After walking out of the village, there is an open plain, and not far away are the mountains with ups and downs, some trees and some bare, which looks very unharmonious.
Looking at this distance from a distance made me feel powerless.
We still have a long way to go.
"Don't be stupid, let's go, Yang Yuan, they may have arrived at the location we booked."
As I walked, I asked, "How far is it?" ”
The magpie touched his head: "Yes, it can be reached about forty kilometers, it's eight o'clock in the morning, let's speed up, it's about the same tonight." ”
"Okay, I'll follow you."
So, we started walking, and my body was much better than before, but the wound on my calf still had some effect, so I could only follow step by step like a cripple, and the magpie had to stop and wait for me for a while every time I walked.
Seeing me like this, I couldn't help but laugh: "Since we met, your legs don't seem to be better for a few days, don't call Xiaochen in the future, just call Xiaolame." ”
I smiled wryly and didn't speak, I knew this guy was joking with me, who knew that it would be a prophecy, and since then my leg has really fallen into some problems, and every time it rains on a cloudy day, it will hurt, but that's for later.
We walked slowly on the plains of the mountains at our feet, and the magpies either stopped and waited for me for a while, or came and helped me walk for a while, and we walked and stopped until noon on the vast plains, and the road under our feet gradually began to slope a little, and in front of us was a series of mountains and sparse woods.
"Come on, rest for a while, and then you don't have to worry about being spotted by the pursuers" The magpie gasped and sat down on a rock, and I slowly sat beside and watched the plain we walked, the village had now become an insignificant dot that would not be discernible if you weren't paying attention.
I put my backpack down and took out the food from the captured enemy's individual soldiers, and we simply ate it and then rested for a while.
I checked the ammunition regularly, and then I suddenly noticed that the flower in the magazine pouch was now squeezed like a specimen, but the whole thing was still very intact.
I reached out and pulled it out.
"Yo? Where did the flowers come from? Magpie asked.
I thought about it, so I handed the flower over: "I picked it on the way, and I will send it to you." ”
The magpie was a little surprised and pointed to himself: "For me?" ”
I nodded: "Yes, don't forget it, I'll give it to Yang Yuan." ”
The magpie reached out and took it: "What are you doing for him?" You might as well give it to me. ”
"Huh? This flower looks like a gentleman's orchid! The magpie said as he looked at the flower.
I don't know anything about flowers and plants, and I don't know what kind of flower Junzi Orchid is, anyway, the magpie means that our country also has this kind of flower with a similar appearance.
"It's so fragrant, thank you for the flowers!" The magpie seemed to be very happy, and carefully put the flower into the sandwich of the tactical vest.
The magpie raised its head, and its two eyes smiled like two curved crescents, which looked particularly cute.
"Enough rest, let's hurry up!" I stood up hard and said hello.
The magpie immediately put away his smile, and then looked around vigilantly: "Okay! Let's go! ”
This instantaneous change in her seems to have a lot to do with her career, she looks like a silly girl in her spare time, and she looks like a focused strong woman when she is doing business.
This is also what I have always admired about her, it will be easy to be friends with this kind of person, and it will be very reassuring to be a comrade-in-arms.
The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and the pain in my calf slowly came from me, and I rolled over in pain while lying on the bed, and then picked up my phone and turned it on.
The screen lit up, there were more than 20 missed calls about Zheng Xin, and I said in my heart that I was so desperate, why are you still calling? I have a characteristic, that is, no matter what I do, I am very happy, including dealing with emotional problems, breaking up is breaking up, after so many years, I do feel that it is not suitable to live with her, there is no intention to break up, inappropriate is inappropriate.
So I got up and walked to the living room, looking at the gentleman on the coffee table, and began to be distracted.
I turned on my phone, then clicked on the contacts, flipped down, and found the name of the magpie, I wanted to press it, but I hesitated for a long time, and I still didn't press it.
I turned off my phone and lay on the sofa and continued to look at the gentleman in front of me.
"I see, they can't chase them anymore." The magpie said as he walked ahead.
There were too many gravels in the mountains below, so we weren't fast.
"Why do you say that?"
"Their pursuers have hardly taken advantage of them, and their commanders will definitely change their tactics, and blind pursuit is not an effective method." The magpie walked very fast, and seeing that we were a little far away, he leaned against a tree and waited for me.
I had an extra stick in my hand that I used as a crutch to relieve the pain of the wound on my leg.
I said, "If you think so, you will definitely be the same." ”
Seeing that I was following, the magpie turned around and continued walking: "Of course. ”
I asked, "If it were you, how would you arrange the staff?" ”
The magpie walked and thought for a while and said: "I will deploy in advance to intercept on our retreat route, but the military power consumed is a bit too much, and if the action is too large, it will be noticed by the media, and it will cost countless troops to encircle and suppress a few terrorist elements.
The information we got has a lot to do with the top brass of their military, but I don't think their leaders know about it, that's why they are so timid to announce to the outside world that these actions are just to encircle and suppress the so-called terrorist organization, and once the truth is revealed, guess what? ”
I thought about it for a moment: "Many of them will go to international tribunals to stand trial, and many of them will not be able to keep their black hats. ”
The magpie nodded approvingly at me: "Isn't this a good thing for the people of their country?" ”
I just laughed: "I don't care about this, I just want to complete the task and figure out Wang Li's affairs." ”
That's what I really think, I'm not a savior, I don't think about so many messy things, I just want to complete my mission, Magpie is a member of the Security Bureau, and it's normal to care about more things than me.
We're in the middle of a mountain, and there's a lot of gravel at our feet, and there are fewer and fewer trees in the mountains, so we don't have any shelter now, and there are a lot of small stones rolling down the hillside with every step.
Suddenly, the magpie crouched down behind a tree, then turned and waved at me, and I immediately became alert, threw away my stick, picked up my gun, and walked over.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
The magpie looked down the hillside where we were, then stretched out his finger and said, "It's the enemy search party." ”
I looked in the direction pointed by the magpie, and sure enough, not far from the foot of our hill, a team of about ten people was slowly moving through the valley, and they seemed to be very cautious, and their weapons were constantly aimed in all directions, searching for battle formations, as if they already knew that we had fled here.
It was noon, the light was good, and I could see what they were wearing, it was the familiar reconnaissance unit, and they had been on the move all this time.
"The Rattlesnake Scout, the sneak attack that night, and the people who pursued me are their men."
The magpie said, "How dare they come after suffering so many losses? ”
"I don't know, I'm afraid we can't leave openly now."
The magpie agreed: "You're right, come with me, we'll bypass them, we can't afford to hide." ”
I nodded, it seems that the next road is getting more and more troublesome.
