Kadibi? I was a little surprised to hear the name, because the Aussies had reappeared behind us, and when we were caught between two sides, we instinctively thought that Cadibi, who had tried to seduce the Aussies, was finished. And now this guy has appeared again, and is it still such a high-profile appearance?

"Are you sure you're right? Could you be mistaken about this big night? I asked.

Ahmed hesitated as if I asked, apparently in his opinion, this guy Kadibi would not be in this place so easily. But Ahmed, after a brief hesitation, said, "I should be right. I should say that I heard him correctly, and someone called him by name. And I still remember the peculiar tone of this fanatical guy quite clearly, I'm sure it's him. ”

"Okay. It's not good news for us that this guy is here. Not to mention that we don't have a good relationship with him, and his radicalization is likely to turn this place into a battlefield. I said.

"Probably. But it doesn't look like it's the guy who has the final say here. And don't worry for the time being, not everyone in the TLB is crazy, they can't offend and infringe on the interests of the locals casually, after all, they have to rely on them for their activities here. Ahmed said.

"So what are they doing here? Or did you come in the middle of the night? I asked.

"I don't know. But it doesn't look like they were broken up and escaped. It is estimated that the battle during the day is over, and it is likely that the TLB gang has the upper hand to repel the coalition forces. Ahmed said.

"They won? Is this possible? I asked incredulously, "I didn't think they even had the strength to fight back." “

"Possibly. How could it not be? If everything fails, then you don't have to look for Akmall. Because he had either been killed or had been sent to a prisoner of war camp. Ahmed said.

"And how long are these people going to stay here? The Yankees aren't going to give up. They may soon strike back. Then it's hard to say here. I said.

Ahmed was silent for a moment when I said this, and then said, "But it's not right for you to leave here now. You need to rest, long breaks. “

"If you can go, let's go first. I'm getting out of here more and more. ”

Ahmed sighed and said, "What you said makes sense... Maybe the Yankees are already on their way. It looks like our plans are going to be revised. He thought for a moment as he said this, "One more day." It takes time to prepare. We'll leave here tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, early in the morning. “

"Do you want to walk with the one who knows the way?" I asked.

"Of course. We will go into the mountains together, and then I will try my best to find Ashraf, and you will go to Pakistan with Sadat and them first. Ahmed said.

At that moment, a burst of gunfire rang out. We fell silent, each pricking up our ears to listen. Then there was another burst of gunfire, judging by the sound of the AK-47, and no other guns, especially the Yankees' guns, were heard. And from a distance, it seems to be much closer than the gunfire during the day.

Moments after the gunshots rang out, there was chaos in the village. There were quite a few people talking, and these people were walking around as they spoke, and in a moment there was a knock on the door of our house.

Ahmed did not speak, Sadat who was with us got up and went to the door and opened the door, outside which I vaguely saw two figures, who had spoken a few words to Sadat and then left. Sadat quickly came to us after closing the door and said a few words to Ahmed.

He said that the people at TLB had just told him not to panic. Don't even run away. This gunfire is the men of the TLB in pursuit of the enemy. The problem will be solved soon, so don't panic. Ahmed translated.

As Ahmed translated, the gunfire outside intensified, from which I finally heard something that was not an AK-47. The fierce gunfire made the TLB forces in the village busy, and after a few moments they seemed to have organized their personnel and left the village.

Ahmad asked Sadat to go out and have a look, after Sadat came back to confirm that the men had left. I looked at Ahmed and said, "Is this running away?" “

"Probably not." Ahmed immediately denied that "if the situation is not under control for a while, they will not come door-to-door to pacify." By doing so, they were prepared to stay in the village for a while. “

"Then they leave. Is it to cooperate with the people outside to act together? I asked.

"Pretty much." Ahmed said as he returned to his place and lay down, "Go to sleep." Let them fight, and we'll leave after a day. “

In that case, I won't talk nonsense. But the gunfire outside lasted almost all night, and it didn't end until it was nearly dawn, and I listened to the gunfire all night. This shot is strange because I don't know what kind of battle would be fought like this? For me, even if the Yankees were in a bad situation, it shouldn't have lasted so long, right? That's long enough time for them to rescue many times.

Ahmed didn't seem to have slept all night. He got up early in the morning and began to prepare for our entry into the mountains. I continued to lie there while Sadat called an old man who was said to be an experienced doctor who had treated me when I was unconscious. The old man said something to Ahmed after the examination, and Ahmed nodded his head and told me that the old man said that I was in good health and was recovering quickly. There is nothing wrong with the wound, if it takes a month and a half, it should be as healthy as a normal person.

I think ordinary people would be happy to say this. But it's not very good news for me and Ahmed at the moment. Because we don't have half a month as long.

But no matter what, no matter how well we recover, we have to go. As long as I don't have a high fever that makes me unable to walk, it won't be a big problem.

After seeing the old man off, I guess it was because I hadn't slept well all night, and after eating something near noon, I became sleepy and fell asleep quickly. But I didn't sleep long before I was woken up again. This time it was the TLB's armed forces who were still clamoring, and listening to their voices, it didn't look like there was some emergency, but it looked like a victory.

After a while, Ahmet walked quickly into the house. I noticed that his face was ugly... It's very ugly.
