Huang Tao, who was wearing a long black trench coat, cautiously came to the foot of Elephant Trunk Mountain, knowing that there were people there who had been waiting for him for a long time.
At the foot of Elephant Trunk Mountain, a middle-aged man dressed plainly wearing a hat was fishing, and Huang Tao slowly walked towards the middle-aged man.
Huang Tao quietly looked at the man's bamboo basket on the side, and there was not a single fish in it. But the soot scattered next to the man could tell that he had been here for some time.
"Are you here to bring me bait?" The middle-aged man asked Huang Tao.
"Sir hasn't caught a single fish here for so long, I'm afraid it's not fishing!" Huang Tao returned to the middle-aged man.
"How's it going?" The middle-aged man asked Huang Tao.
"The upper echelons of the military command have formulated a plan, they are the executors, and your Gui family will cooperate with them to implement this plan!" Huang Tao replied to the middle-aged man.
"Can you now know the details of this plan?" The middle-aged man asked.
"I'm afraid not! The content of this plan is highly confidential, and it is estimated that the content will not be revealed at all until the official mission is carried out! Huang Tao replied.
"The more this happens, the more the storm is coming! We have to figure out the main content of the plan as soon as possible, otherwise we will be in big trouble! The middle-aged man said to Huang Tao.
"I'll do my best! Now it seems that Liang Hui is the most trusted by the top level of the military command, although I sit in the same high position as Liang Hui, but I still haven't fully won Ning Zhiguo's trust! I even noticed that someone was spying on me! Huang Tao said.
"Liang Hui is a student brought out by Ning Zhiguo personally, so he will naturally trust Liang Hui more! I believe that you have a way to completely gain Ning Zhiguo's trust! If you really can't make Ning Zhiguo fully trust, you can try to start with Liang Hui! After all, in the entire Guilin station, he is the only one who will call you a brother! The middle-aged man said.
"I'll give it a try! Because I sometimes feel that the person who is spying on me in the dark may be Liang Hui! After Huang Tao finished speaking, the middle-aged man fell silent.
"What's wrong? Why don't you speak? Huang Tao's puzzled middle-aged man asked.
"I think you're in a very dangerous situation right now, and you could be exposed at any time! You need to be more careful than before, or you could end yourself up in a doom if you don't pay attention! The middle-aged man sighed and said to Huang Tao.
"From the day I joined the party organization, I was ready to sacrifice at any time!" Huang Tao said firmly.
"I know! But it also depends on whether the sacrifice is worthwhile! It is not easy for you to go from entering the military to today's position! We can't afford to lose you easily! So I hope you can persevere until the day when the light comes, and you must not make fearless sacrifices! The middle-aged man said to Huang Tao.
"Understood!" Huang Tao replied.
"There's one thing you should know, right?" Huang Tao suddenly thought of something and said to the middle-aged man.
"I know what you're going to say, Lao Chen has sacrificed!" The middle-aged man's mood suddenly became depressed.
"I heard that from the arrest to the heroic righteousness, Lao Chen didn't say a word! In the end, he also died in the random shooting! Huang Tao said in frustration.
"Lao Chen is going to pursue his beliefs! I hope he will live better in another world! After the middle-aged man said this, two lines of tears were left in the corners of his eyes.
"Definitely! The world is as clean as our Li River! There is no strife, and there is no war that requires sacrifice at every turn! There is only happiness and peace! What's more, Lao Chen is a good comrade with faith, and he will definitely live better than we think over there! Huang Tao said.
"Lao Chen, you are the pride of the Guilin Underground Party of the Communist Party of China!" The middle-aged man let out a long sigh.
"By the way, there's one more thing!" Huang Tao thought of something again.
"What's the matter?" The middle-aged man asked suspiciously.
"I apologize to the organization first for my reckless behavior!" Huang Tao said guiltily to the middle-aged man.
"So you know you're wrong!" The middle-aged man seemed to have seen through everything.
"I know I'm acting recklessly, but I'm really forced to do it!" Huang Tao continued.
"Knowing that Lao Chen is already happy, the transportation route is blocked and someone is watching, and in this case, you also led people to raid the monitoring point of the military commander! Do you know what serious consequences this can lead to? The middle-aged man got up and said to Huang Tao solemnly.
"I know! One carelessness could wipe out my group! Huang Tao lowered his head and said.
"Your reckless actions this time have made the military commanders aware of our actions again! This also shows them that we are still in Guilin, and that your actions are to hand over a letter of war to the military commanders. I dare say that Liang Hui will definitely strengthen the surveillance of us in the future, and other comrades will also be restricted in their activities because of our awakening, or they will be arrested by the military commander's agents who have intensified their search efforts while performing their missions! It seems that only our group has been affected, and in fact all the underground party members lurking in Guilin have been threatened! The middle-aged man said to Huang Tao a little angrily.
"From the moment Lao Chen was arrested, you should have stopped the line in charge of logistics and transportation. Not only did you stop them from moving, you almost pulled them into an even more dangerous abyss. The middle-aged man sighed and said to Huang Tao.
"I am willing to accept any punishment from the party organization!" Huang Tao said to the middle-aged man.
"Forget it! Now that it's happened, face it calmly! I just hope that you don't make such mistakes again in the future! The middle-aged man said to Huang Tao.
"Actually, there's one more thing I want to tell you!" Huang Tao said to the middle-aged man.
"Say it!" The middle-aged man said to Huang Tao.
"I want to go see Lao Chen!" Huang Tao said to the middle-aged man.
"What time is it? Aren't you afraid of being watched by the military commanders when you go to visit Lao Chen now? You just made a mistake and you want to make a second one, right? I disagree! The middle-aged man refused Huang Tao's request.
"But he is our comrade after all! Now that he has died, we pretend not to care, is this the attitude we should have? Huang Tao asked the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man fell silent, he was powerless to refute Huang Tao's words. Although Huang Tao's thoughts are extremely dangerous, the emotions in every sentence come from the heart.
"Stay safe!" The middle-aged man agreed to Huang Tao's request, took out the wine bottle he was carrying, and drank all the way out of Elephant Trunk Mountain.
Huang Tao quietly watched the middle-aged man leave until his back was completely out of his sight.
Huang Tao came to Yanshan and looked at the grave in front of him.
Because of his status as a Communist Party, Chen Jun could not erect a tombstone after his burial.
"Lao Chen, I'm coming to see you!" Huang Tao smiled reluctantly and slowly squatted down.
"This is your favorite Sanhua Ageing! Come, take a sip! It's a pity! This time, I was in a hurry, so I couldn't bring your favorite chili sauce and tofu! Huang Tao opened the wine bottle he was carrying and poured it all on the ground.
As the wine poured, tears also slipped from the corners of Huang Tao's eyes.
"Lao Chen! You're too boring! When you joined the party, your buddies said that they would live and die together! You're a good boy! Leave us alone and go first! Huang Tao wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes as he spoke.
"Lao Chen, all the party organizations you have done are in your eyes, and we will definitely avenge you! You are the pride of our underground party in Guilin, and the pride of all communists! Lao Chen, go all the way! After Huang Tao finished speaking, he got up and saluted Chen Jun's grave.
"That's it! It's time for me to go, too! If you have a chance in the future, your brother will come to you again to catch up! Huang Tao turned around and left.
The sudden sacrifice of his comrades-in-arms plunged Huang Tao into sadness, and at the same time made him more firm in his revolutionary beliefs.
The sacrificed comrades have become a foregone conclusion, and only by continuing to persevere can the living live up to their expectations.
After Huang Tao left, the middle-aged man who was watching him quietly from a distance, the middle-aged man who was fishing under Elephant Trunk Mountain also left.
