Chapter 425: Groping in the Dark
Gently closing the other party's eyes, Zhao Shixun sighed lightly and flattened the old man's body on the ground.
Putting the old man's two hands flat on his heart, Zhao Shixun looked up at Hu Tian with a sluggish expression, silently took out more than a dozen remaining military tickets from his backpack, and silently stuffed them into the other party's arms.
"The old man is a man...... This money is not much, you can take it and follow the villagers to flee for their lives. ”
After the words were closed, Zhao Shixun picked up the rifle next to him and walked towards the courtyard behind him without saying a word.
……
Holding the military ticket in his hand, Hu Tian looked at the old man on the ground with a peaceful face like a sleep, and tears slipped from the corners of his eyes uncontrollably.
Suddenly, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and reached out to hug the body of the old man on the ground.
Getting up and slowly walking to the burning cart, Hu Tian took one last look at the remains of the person in his arms, and then threw the body into the fire.
Boom......
As soon as the corpse fell into the fire, it was immediately engulfed in flames.
In the squeaky sound, looking at the wreckage and corpses of the cart that were burning more and more, Hu Tian suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed his head a few times.
The next moment, he got up suddenly, carried a gun and went straight to the back of Zhao Shixun not far away, and chased after .......
……
Under the firelight, Cho Se-hoon, with his back against the wall, chewed on a captured Japanese-style compressed biscuit while pressing a Mauser pistol bullet found from the corpse of a puppet soldier into the magazine.
"Who?!"
Suddenly, a warrior raised his rifle and aimed it at a dark shadow in the darkness.
"Don't shoot...... It's me. ”
Holding his hands high to show that he had no malicious intent, Hu Tian cautiously approached Zhao Shixun and walked out of the darkness.
"It's you...... Let him come. ”
After getting Zhao Shixun's nod and permission, Hu Tian walked over with a careful cat waist with a gun on his back, and half-squatted in front of several people.
"Didn't you leave with the villagers, and what are you doing here?"
Inserting a full magazine into the box cannon, Zhao Shixun looked at the other party and asked lightly:
……
"The second master is dead...... I don't know where to go...... ”
"Listen to the accent, you're from the south side of the Yellow River, right? How did you get to this occupied area? ”
Hearing this, he was slightly stunned, but the half-grown boy didn't lie.
"Well, I'm from Luoyang. Come here and follow the second master to find someone. ”
"Oh? Did the man find it? ”
……
"I didn't ...... Now that the second master is dead, I don't know where to find ....... ”
Hearing this, Zhao Shixun pursed his lips and nodded. Although he heard that the other party was hiding a lot of things, Zhao Shixun didn't know the kind of person who liked to break the casserole and ask to the end. Besides, it's useless for him to know.
After muttering a few words, the half-grown man raised his head slightly, looked at Zhao Shixun and asked in a low voice:
"Looking at the way you look, are you going to let go of these devils and traitors?"
As soon as Hu Tian's words fell, a veteran snorted coldly.
"Nonsense...... These brutes have killed so many people in the village, and they have killed many of our comrades-in-arms, if we let them go like this, we don't deserve to wear this Eight Master Gray! ”
Hearing this, Hu Tian's originally lonely eyes suddenly flickered, and he subconsciously clenched the rifle in his hand.
"That'...... Count me in, I want to you! ”
……
Suddenly hearing that the other party was about to join the gang, several soldiers did not speak, but quietly turned their heads to Zhao Shixun beside him.
"Boy...... As you can see, we all have to stay here today, have you figured it out...... That's all your mom and dad gave you your life. ”
Looking at the half-grown man in front of him, Zhao Shixun couldn't hear the slightest emotion in his tone, as if he was saying something very ordinary.
However, after listening to the other party's words, Banzi's face turned red, and his breathing suddenly accelerated.
After a long while, he suddenly pulled out a big-eyed picker from his waist, looked at the dark body of the gun, gritted his teeth, and said:
"If it hadn't been for the second master who picked me up from the broken temple back then, I would have become a lonely ghost long ago. If I can't leave standing today, that's my destiny ...... Hu. ”
……
……
Faced with Hu Tian's request to join, Zhao Shixun did not refuse, not to mention that he had no reason to refuse.
Soon, after everyone made a short repair, Zhao Shixun left six soldiers to continue to monitor the Japanese puppet army in the courtyard at the main gate, while he took Hu Tian, a kid, to quietly bypass the courtyard and touch the position where the old ghost had attacked.
Before the old ghost failed in their sneak attack, Zhao Shixun's heart immediately cooled. He knew very well that if it weren't for the lame old man's timely action later, they estimated that this would have been beaten by the Japanese puppet army in turn.
However, although he knew that the old ghosts were more than auspicious, Zhao Shixun still planned to take a look in the past, even if he found a respite.
In this way, Zhao Shixun took Hu Tian around the courtyard in a big circle, and finally returned to the south side of the courtyard after ten minutes.
Like the old ghosts before, Zhao Shixun and Hu Tian first touched the cat forward with their waists for dozens of meters, and then changed to crawling forward, and carefully climbed towards the wall.
Soon, as the two of them moved less than fifty meters from the wall, a hoarse voice suddenly emerged from the darkness.
"Who's there? Say the password right away, or I'll shoot! ”
Hearing someone whispering not far away, Zhao Shixun subconsciously pressed Hu Tian, who was about to raise his gun, and said with some excitement in his heart:
"Steady...... It's our people. ”
The next moment, Zhao Shixun and the other party whispered to check the original night password, and then took Hu Tian to climb towards the other party.
After a few breaths, it turned out to be the detachment leader, and the few surviving fighters were first excited, and then they were disappointed.
"Detachment Leader...... We didn't do what you were told, we ...... We were kicked out by the devil ....... ”
Looking at the four extremely demoralized soldiers in front of him, Zhao Shixun patted them on the shoulder, and then lowered his voice and asked eagerly:
"Why don't you even see the old ghost, where did he go?"
Hearing Zhao Shixun's inquiry, the four soldiers hurriedly pointed to the pitch-black wall not far away.
"Brother Ghost and the three brothers went over to fight first, but they didn't expect that the little devil who killed the sky would actually bury a trick mine outside the wall. After the explosion, we felt like we had gone to save people, but as soon as we got together, we were crushed by a machine gun.
Later, we heard Brother Ghost shout a few words, otherwise we will pass, and then there will be no more news....... ”
Listening to the explanations of several surviving soldiers, Zhao Shixun nodded calmly. The stories of several people are basically the same as the judgment in his heart.
After thinking about it for a while, he looked at the four warriors and said lightly:
"This brother who came with me is called Hu Tian, and he will be our comrade-in-arms from now on.
The four of you hurried back the way you came, and went to the main gate of the courtyard to meet up with the other old brothers and wait for me. ”
"Oh...... But what should the ghost brother do? ”
"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own way...... Execute the order. ”
“…… Be. ”
Although they were vaguely aware of what Zhao Shixun was going to do, the four fighters still chose to carry out the order unconditionally.
After the four of them left, Zhao Shixun looked at Hu Tian, who was a little nervous beside him, and pointed to the courtyard wall not far away.
"You just stare at the wall in front of you, if someone dares to show it for a while, you don't have to confirm who it is, just shoot him, understand?."
"Hmmm......"
Hearing that he could shoot directly without confirmation, Hu Tian's worries in his heart suddenly eased a lot. This black light is blinding, and what he is most afraid of is accidentally hurting his own people.
In the dark, after giving Hu Tian forty rounds of ammunition, Zhao Shixun put the rifle in his hand behind his back, took a deep breath, and crawled towards the approximate location where the old ghost and the others disappeared.
After crawling all the way in an environment where he couldn't see his fingers for more than 20 meters, Zhao Shixun had to stop as the shadow of the wall not far away got closer and closer to Zhao Shixun.
Gently pulling out the bayonet at his waist and holding it in his right hand, Zhao Shixun began to slide carefully on his way forward with the bayonet.
Inch by inch, he slid the bayonet in his hand with great care, and then moved forward little by little along the safe route he had confirmed.
In this way, when crawling to a position five or six meters away from the wall, the tip of Zhao Shixun's bayonet suddenly touched a hard object.
Sensing the abnormality, he immediately slid his bayonet in several other directions of the foreign object, and after a few moments he was sure that it was not a stone in front of him, but a tile buried in the ground.
Aware of the danger, Zhao Shixun observed the dark environment around him for a while, and after pondering for a while, he finally gave up the direct bypass method. With this thing on the way he must go back and forth, Zhao Shixun is really not at ease.
Thinking of this, he quietly leaned down, took a closer look at the tiles that had been artificially buried in the ground with the help of the faint light of the fire, and then began to carefully clean the soil near the tiles with a bayonet.
Little by little, inch by inch, a few minutes later, Zhao Shixun had already dug up all the soil around the tile, revealing an arc-shaped thing.
Putting down the bayonet, Zhao Shixun took a deep breath, and slowly picked up the tiles on the ground with his elbow propped up his body.
And as the tiles were removed, a small piece of golden metal glowed with a faint cold light in the moonlight, completely exposed to Zhao Shixun's eyes.
"Damn, it's really in stock!"
Looking at the brass safety cap unique to the Type 97 grenade in front of him, Zhao Shixun's mouth grinned slightly upwards and sneered.
The next moment, he took a few deep breaths to adjust his mind, and then used his fingers to dig through the dirt near the grenade, so that most of the projectile body was exposed.
Seeing this, Zhao Shixun pulled it out with a slight effort.
"Little things...... Finally got you out ....... ”
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and carefully putting the grenade with the lost safety ring into his pocket, he once again carefully poked forward with his bayonet.
In the end, after dismantling the second thunderbolt near the wall, Zhao Shixun finally found a figure lying still against the root of the wall.
Slowly crawling over, Zhao Shixun patted the dirt on the other party's body, and then turned it over with force.
"Old ghost...... Old ghost! ”
After calling softly twice, Zhao Shixun saw that the other party had no reaction, and his heart was cold, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to probe the other party's snort.
…… To be continued, thank you for your support!
I ask for your understanding that people are running around in other places, and they can't help themselves.
