Chapter 62: Young-hee is captured
Yingji got up and patted her body on the soil, although it was dark in the cave and she couldn't see people's faces clearly, she couldn't hide her embarrassment. She apologized like Liang Guocheng: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! ”
Liang Guocheng was awake at this time, and he felt that things started because of him. Thinking that he was in the most difficult time, Young-hee took him in. Saved him again today, and he felt that he should not have violated her. He was about to apologize to her, but he didn't expect her to apologize to him first, and he didn't know how to get better. He couldn't find anything to say for a while, so he followed Yingji's words and said, "I'm sorry." ”
Late at night, there was a wolf roar outside, and goosebumps rose from those who barked. The most terrifying thing in the mountains is the wolves, because the wolves come out to look for food, they are all in groups, and when they encounter lone people and animals, they will be torn to pieces in an instant. Ying Ji has been collecting medicine in the mountains all year round, and knows that the wild beasts in the mountains are afraid of fire. If a person walks out of the road, as long as they light a torch, even if they encounter wolves, they will not dare to attack people.
Ying Ji lowered her head and said, "It's late at night, and there are a lot of wolves in this mountain. I went out to get some firewood to make a fire, the wolves are afraid of fire, and the cold in the mountains is heavy, so it can also drive away the cold. ”
Young-hee went out. Liang Guocheng was left alone in the cave, and he suddenly felt lonely and desperate. There is a team leader chasing after him at the bottom of the mountain, the black paste in the cave is depressing, and the wild wolves outside the cave are panicking. Now he can't compare with when he was a scout, when he was in good health and armed with weapons, and most importantly backed up by strong troops. Now it's different, the injured body has a disability; Although he was firmly confident that he must find the troops, but since he was arrested, until he was thrown out by the enemy as a dead man, where is the organization? Where are the troops? Now in a foreign country like North Korea, the only one he relies on is Yinghee, and she is his protector!
Young-hee goes out to find a firewood to worry him that if something happens to her, he will have no way out. Descending the mountain was captured by the team leader, and he may have to harm him, and he will freeze and starve to death without eating or drinking on the mountain. He followed out of the cave to protect Young-hee, although he is now disabled, after all, he is a man, and the crutch in his hand can be used as a weapon.
The moon has set in the west, and the temperature plummets in the second half of the night. In the distance, his eyes flashed with blue light, and he was even more worried about Young-hee's safety. He looked around and couldn't see Yingji, he was in a hurry, and he didn't know where to go to find the left and right passages, so he shouted loudly in a hurry. There is a slope below the passage on the left and right sides of the cave, and there is a sound of Yingji answering from below, and Yingji comes up with a handful of dry wood. Seeing Liang Guocheng's anxious appearance, he was very moved. Since she has no relatives, she has been alone for several years, and no one has ever been anxious about her safety.
Liang Guocheng said: "There are wolves on this mountain, how dangerous is it?" ”
Although Young-hee didn't understand, she knew that she was blaming her for her safety, and she felt warm in her heart. He gestured and told him: "It's very cold on Tianming Mountain in the second half of the night, your injuries are not healed, how can you resist the cold if you are weak and have no fire!" ”
Ying Ji was completely thinking about his body, and Liang Guocheng was also very moved. Said emotionally: "If we go out again, we can go together, and we can take care of each other." ”
Young-hee is used to being alone in the mountains, and she uses flint and steel to make fire. Ying Ji said: "Wild beasts are afraid of fire, and as long as there is fire, no matter how many wolves there are, they will not dare to approach." ”
The fire lit up, and the faces of the two were red. Liang Guocheng saw clearly that there was a small stone bed in the cave with hay on it. There was a small stone table in the middle of the floor, and there was a stone stool next to the small table, like a family going about their lives. Yingji stood up, relaid the hay in the small bed, and made a sleeping motion, telling him to lie down and sleep for a while. Young-hee took out two old corns from the protruding part of the cave wall and set them on the fire to roast them. This is the meal she prepared for herself, because the weather in the mountains often changes abruptly, and other foods are easy to spoil, only the air-dried old corn can be kept, although it is not very delicious, and it is better to bite when it is roasted, than to be hungry.
Yingji said, "You go to bed and sleep for a while." I'll go back to the village. ”
Liang Guocheng immediately became vigilant, not because he suspected that Yingji would betray him, but because he was worried that she would return to the village to expose his whereabouts. He replied to Yingji: "What are you going back to the village for?" ”
Yingji said: "You can't go back to the village for the time being, let's eat and drink on the mountain." I went home to get the things to cook and the bedding to sleep on. ”
No matter how Yingji compares, Liang Guocheng seems to understand whether he understands or not. Yingji saw that it was not early, and if it dragged on any longer, it would be easy to be discovered by the villagers. She felt that the last time Liang Guocheng was arrested, someone told him, and if he was arrested again, he would not have such good luck. Anyway, it was not easy to hook up, so Yingji made a sleeping gesture for him, made a torch and lit it, which was necessary for walking in the mountains at night, and rushed out of the cave along the path to his home.
Yingji's family to the county seat is actually a big mountain, but there is a mountain in between. There are two roads separated from the county, one is directly up the mountain, and the other is relatively flat and slowly rising. Ying Ji rescued Liang Guocheng from the county seat, and she took the mountain road directly up the mountain. Because Yingji often goes up the mountain to collect medicine, she is familiar with the mountain roads, and she can get home by walking a small road over a mountain. She could see the outline of the village when the rooster crowed, and she knew that the rooster crowed three times before it was bright. Worried that the team leader would not be able to catch anyone, she chased them all the way to their village, and she lay on a ridge and looked at them fascinated for a while. It doesn't feel like there are troops, if there are troops, there are sentry posts. She cautiously entered the village and slowly approached the fence of her house. There was no one in the yard, and there was a black hole in the house. She pushed open the fence and made a noise, but there was still no movement in the house. She walked into the house quickly, and was suddenly grabbed by two arms by two men who came out on either side of the door. The sudden start, the frightened body suddenly trembled, and screamed loudly.
Another man lowered his voice and said, "Don't scream! We are KPA fighters. ”
The lights were lit. Ying Ji saw the four people in the house clearly, the team leader who caught Liang Guocheng yesterday, the two soldiers who grabbed her arm, and the village chief was also sitting in the corner. It turned out that the time calculated by the team leader could catch Liang Guocheng when he left the county. For some reason, I chased all the way without even a shadow. It's strange that he, a disabled man, can walk faster than those of us who are able-bodied? No matter what, he must be dealt with today, and if he is allowed to escape, the prison director will blame him for being suspected of letting Han traitors go.
He felt that Liang Guocheng was let go, and he should not feel that his life was threatened, unlike the people who were being chased and rushed for their lives, fleeing for their lives without a purpose. Liang Guocheng could not be caught up on the road, and he may have fled back to the village now. The team leader led the soldiers all the way to Yingji's village, and they couldn't find Yingji's house at night, so they knocked on the door of the village chief's house and asked him to lead the way.
The village chief was a man in his fifties, and he was already unhappy to wake him up in the middle of the night, and even more unhappy to let him lead the way and arrest people. In this country of the First Army, although he could not disobey the orders of the soldiers, he took them all the way to Yingji's house. Yingji's house was empty, and the village chief told the team leader that Yingji worked in the fields at night because of the rejection of the villagers. The team leader didn't care about Ying Ji, he felt that Liang Guocheng and them missed it for some reason, and they would definitely be able to catch it when they waited at her house.
He arranged for good people to extinguish the oil and wait for the arrest, and it happened to see Ying Ji sneaky, which strengthened his idea, and Liang Guocheng had returned. The squad leader waved his hand, and the warrior sat her down in the middle of the room, and the two warriors sat beside her, one left and one right.
The team leader smirked smugly, feeling that everything was in his expectation: "Say, where did you hide the Han traitor?" ”
Young-hee was caught, but she wasn't afraid of anything. said: "What Han traitor, I don't know what you're talking about?" ”
The team leader originally thought that a little girl would say anything when she was scared. I wanted to meet a leader there, but I blamed him. couldn't help but be angry: "If you don't hand over the Han traitor, you will be guilty of the same crime as the Han traitor, and you will be shot!" ”
Ying Ji said: "There are no Korean traitors in my house at all, and there are volunteer soldiers living in my house." Yesterday you took him away, and today you came to ask me for someone. ”
The squad leader said: "The war is over, and the volunteers have returned home." He pretended to be a volunteer, what is it if he is not a traitor? ”
In fact, China and South Korea signed an armistice agreement with the United States and South Korea, and the two sides agreed to retreat 60 miles from the troops. If the squad leader is based on the position of the Chinese army, he is a small squad leader. He only knew that the war was over, because the county seat he was in was close to the front line, and he thought that the volunteers had returned home. As a matter of fact, the volunteers returned to China one after another after Premier Zhou Enlai visited the DPRK in 58 and consulted with the DPRK leader Kim Il Sung.
Young-hee knew that the war was over, and she had seen the notice posted in the village. After listening to the words of the squad leader, I believe that the volunteers have returned home. She was secretly happy in her heart, feeling that it was possible to keep Liang Guocheng, and she couldn't help but smile on her face.
The team leader saw her smiling, and the more she realized that she was hiding Liang Guocheng. I thought in my heart that if she refused to hand over someone, she would have an explanation for taking her back, which was also a helpless way. Now that there is no sound in the house, if Liang Guocheng can't wait for Yingji outside, maybe he will go back to the village to find him, and it will be better to arrest him. He told the soldiers to be silent, turned off the lights and waited in the house.
