Chapter 371: Escape
The sudden gunfire made Liu Wenzhi suddenly remember that the meeting place agreed between him and Gu Hongying was the wharf, and at this moment, the military commander's spies on the other side of the wharf had already been ambushed, waiting for himself and Hongying and the others to throw themselves into the net, he had to stop them before they went to the wharf, and then choose an escape route again.
As soon as Zhao Lijun's footsteps were far away, Liu Wenzhi rushed out of his hiding place and ran towards the place where the gun was fired.
But before they got there, they found the scattered townspeople who had fled in all directions, and when they were in the fire, they were fearless, but now they were like frightened birds.
Liu Wenzhi grabbed a lone middle-aged person and asked, "Big brother, what's going on, why is everyone running this way?" ”
"Dead, a lot dead, someone's shooting, boy, don't go over there." The middle-aged people did not get angry because they were pulled by Liu Wenzhi, but kindly reminded him.
"Thank you, big brother, but my family is over there, I have to go find them."
Liu Wenzhi's words are not to deceive others, his wife and brothers were indeed surrounded by the fire before, and the guns must have been fired because of them, and he really had to go to them.
"Then you have to be careful, guns aren't fun."
The middle-aged people didn't stop Liu Wenzhi, they just said a word of caution and left. For these simple people, family is obviously more important than everything, he regards Liu Wenzhi as an ordinary person, in exchange for him, if his family is over there, he will not hesitate to look for it.
Coming to the fire scene cautiously, the scene he saw hiding in the dark made Liu Wenzhi very disappointed, except for the corpses of the enemy and the enemy who were placed in a long row by the people, only the ruins of the inn that were still smoking were gone, and half of the figure was no longer visible. After a little further along, I suddenly found several black-clad military commanders in the distance, surrounding the corpses of several mules and horses, talking something, and someone carrying something from the boxes and baskets carried by mules and horses.
This time I went to Hunan, Gu Hongying prepared a lot of things, including the Dabie mountain treasures and game that Sun Yumin loved to eat, as well as items for other brothers, and some gold and silver used for military expenses. Now it seems that it is impossible for these gold, silver, money and goods to be transported to Hunan, and not only that, but it is still a question whether people can arrive safely.
Maybe someone happened to get gold, silver, or valuable items, and a few military commanders who were still rummaging through them suddenly grabbed it, and it seemed that it was still something of great value, otherwise they would not have tore their faces on the spot. In just an instant, there were many black-clothed men from the military commanders around him, and they all joined the ranks of the competition.
Except for the dead pack horse that turned out the belongings, the other mules and horses did not even look at them, even if they had pack things.
Liu Wenzhi had no time to take care of the property that was robbed madly, he only thought about Gu Hongying and those brothers, if he could exchange these goods for the military commander's spies to stop chasing and killing, he would give up without hesitation. However, this is impossible, and Liu Wenzhi will not hold this illusion, he only glanced at these black-clothed dog spies who were robbing the items with hatred, and then left here silently.
Judging from the corpses of these mules and horses and the looted property, Gu Hongying and the others have left the perimeter of the fire, and they used the horse team to cover them. He was worried that his wife would be reluctant to keep up with the mule and horse team, and if that was the case, it would be too bad, but now it seems that she has also learned to abandon her pawn and protect the car.
Liu Wenzhi is now happy that Gu Hongying and the others have fled to death, but at the same time he is worried that he can't find them, if he can't stop them before they enter the dock range, then the consequences are really unimaginable.
Thinking of the danger that Gu Hongying and the others were about to face, Liu Wenzhi felt chills, he didn't dare to stop for a moment, and he didn't dare to relax his vigilance for a moment, for fear that his wife and brothers would be in danger because of his untimeliness.
After judging a little about the direction in which Gu Hongying and the others might evacuate and the approximate route to the dock, Liu Wenzhi quickened the pace of his steps, and he was eager to join Gu Hongying.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he ran to this side for less than a hundred meters, he leaned out and was discovered by two military commanders guarding the intersection, and one of them shouted: "Who?" Hold it! The other didn't even say a word, and just threw a fire in this direction.
Liu Wenzhi hurriedly retracted, he didn't shoot at the two of them, if there were people guarding this intersection, it meant that Gu Hongying and the others were not evacuated from this direction, then there was no need for him to kill these two spies, in order to kill two insignificant military command spies to expose themselves, it would be too worthless, so he pretended to be frightened and shouted loudly: "Help, don't kill me!" The two spies thought they were just passers-by, scared away by the gunshots.
Although it was just a small trick, they successfully deceived these two military commanders, originally they chased a few steps here, and after hearing Liu Wenzhi's "scream", they stopped, looked at each other and laughed, and scolded while laughing: "Looking for a dead hillbilly!" ”
Liu Wenzhi heard the laughter and scolding of the two people from a distance, but he didn't pay attention to it, at this moment he was only thinking about how to find Gu Hongying and them.
After changing directions, he didn't even see a military commander agent for a long time ahead, which made Liu Wenzhi feel good, and he knew that this route was very likely to be taken by Gu Hongying and the others. After discovering the bodies of two military agents in a dark corner, he confirmed this and pursued it more quickly.
The town is not very big, from the hotel that caught fire to the riverside wharf will not exceed a kilometer distance, if it weren't for the black-clothed people who want to avoid attacking him, Gu Hongying may have already arrived at the wharf where Liu Wenzhi said.
In addition to the two ferries parked on both sides of the wharf, there were also a few fishing boats parked next to it, perhaps because of the fire and noise in the town, the candles in the cabins of the fishing boats were lit, and there were two or three fishermen standing on the boardwalk.
The leper was about to run to the dock, but was pulled by Gu Hongying, don't look at her as a woman, but her strength is not less than that of a man, and the leper was pulled by her and almost fell on his head.
"What's wrong?" He didn't understand what was going on and asked out loud.
"Can't go out, something is wrong." Gu Hongying's vigilance is very strong, she has carried the banner of the Biandanshi Cottage alone for many years, and she can't do it without some real skills. She also wanted to go out, but when she looked closely, she found that something was abnormal, although the three fishermen were looking towards the town as if they were looking at the excitement, but all three of them were actually shaking, and even one of the fishermen would peek at his fishing boat from time to time.
has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, if this can't be found, then Gu Hongying is really worthy of the title of big boss.
"What's wrong?" The leper asked angrily, he didn't notice these small details at all, and some were just depressed after being pulled down by a woman, even if the woman who pulled him down was his big boss.
"Shh Gu Hongying made a silent gesture, and then said in a low voice: "Don't speak!" ”
Seeing her serious expression, everyone knew that she must have discovered something serious, so they calmed down one by one, lowered their bodies, and waited for her to give the next order.
To their disappointment, they had been hiding for several minutes, and had not noticed anything strange on the pier, except that the three fishermen were still standing on the boardwalk of the pier looking out into town.
The leper didn't understand what medicine was sold in the big boss's gourd, and just as he was about to ask again, a slight voice suddenly came from behind everyone.
Although it was very quiet, everyone could hear it clearly, it was the sound of someone stepping on a small dead branch.
Someone came from behind, and if it were the men in black who attacked them, there would be no other way but to rush to the docks immediately.
"Big boss, what are you waiting for? The enemy is coming! The leper's eagerness is a reflection of the other brothers.
"You can't go to the docks, it's a death trap." Gu Hongying only said a word, and did not explain to them why she was so sure, she pulled the bolt, turned around and walked back, hiding in a corner, the muzzle of the gun aimed at the dark road.
She knew that she was hiding in a corner, and the person who had stepped on the dead branch just now was also hiding in a corner. I can't stay here any longer, I can find the abnormality of the dock, with Liu Wenzhi's cleverness and wit, it is impossible not to find it. Maybe at this time he is also looking for himself, just like he is looking for him.
As the old saying goes, it's not that a family doesn't enter a door, although Gu Hongying and Liu Wenzhi haven't been together for too long, they are very similar in many ways, just like this emergency encountered at the moment, what they think about is the same, and they remember each other.
Gu Hongying decided to force her way through, even though she knew that there was someone hiding in the corner of the wall in front of her. She was worried that if it was too late, she and her brothers would be surrounded here again by the time the group of men in black came.
"'Leper, you are the first, Lao Wu and Xiao Gao are the followers, everyone pay attention to cover each other." Gu Hongying quickly gave the battle order, and rushed the first one with a leprosy, not that she didn't like this person, but because the people she named were all old people who had followed her in the Biandanshi Cottage for a long time, and they could be regarded as her people, since they had to sacrifice, then sacrifice their own people, which could be regarded as keeping a few more brothers for her husband.
"Okay, big boss!" Leper and Lao Wu Xiaogao obviously didn't think much about it, and replied to Gu Hongying in unison.
But just as the lepers were about to rush out, they suddenly heard a familiar and slight call: "Is it Hongying?" ”
"It's me, Wenzhi is me!" After hearing this voice, Gu Hongying suddenly had an urge to cry, and her voice choked.
Before this voice, she was a big boss who had to carry the burden alone, because not only did she not rely on, but she was relied on by others; After hearing this voice, she immediately became a weak little woman, as long as this man was around, she would be safe and she would not have to worry about anything. Although there are many capable and strong women in this world, why wasn't she before? It's just that she knows very well that no matter how strong a woman is, she is just a woman, and they and all the women in the world are desperate to be protected and pampered.
Because of the darkness, although Liu Wenzhi found someone in front of him, he didn't know that it was Gu Hongying who he was looking for, until he vaguely heard Gu Hongying's voice, so he took the risk to ask.
Fortunately, I asked a question, so I didn't miss it at such a close distance, or even have a wrong conflict.
He sprang out of the darkness and ran towards Gu Hongying, but before he could take two steps, he felt two scorching heats flying across his cheeks, and after the scorching sensation, he heard two gunshots, and then the bullets hit the sparks on the brick wall.
Gu Hongying's heart was about to pop out of her mouth, she almost thought that her husband had been shot, and the strong hatred was transmitted from her brain to the right hand holding the gun, she frantically pulled the trigger of the shell gun towards the place where the gunfire had just flashed, and the magazine of twenty bullets was knocked out by her for more than a dozen rounds, until Liu Wenzhi spoke.
"Hongying, let's withdraw quickly, otherwise we will really be dumplings by them."
"Wenzhi, are you alright?" The first action Gu Hongying stopped was to touch him, and the first thing she said was to ask him if he was injured.
"I'm fine, Hongying, take my brothers to the river, I'll break off." Liu Wenzhi spoke quickly, spoke eagerly, and while speaking, he also pointed in the direction of the upstream and asked them to retreat this way.
"No, I'm going to be with you and let the brethren ......"
"You guys go quickly, I can follow."
Gu Hongying was about to say that the brothers should withdraw first, but before she finished speaking, she was forcibly interrupted by Liu Wenzhi, she still wanted to insist, but she heard Liu Wenzhi's words again: "Quickly retreat with Hongying, I will follow immediately." ”
When he said this, he was already a little anxious, and there were already people shooting again, and more and more people were shooting, and people in black began to jump out of the boat on the other side of the dock and shoot in this direction. The situation is already very critical, if Gu Hongying is still entangled in the question of who will leave and who will stay, then I am afraid that my group will not be spared.
"Leper, you stay and help Wen Zhi." Gu Hongying felt Liu Wenzhi's eagerness and understood the urgency of the situation, she didn't insist anymore, but just left the leprosy behind, and after Liu Wenzhi was broken alone, she was really not at ease.
Gu Hongying and the others ran along the river embankment for more than ten minutes, until the gunfire behind them was almost inaudible, and then they stopped.
Everyone else was sitting on the ground panting, but Gu Hongying was anxiously looking at the way she came, she was looking forward to Liu Wenzhi's safe return.
The river breeze with heavy humidity blew in her face, and under the faint starlight, a few strands of Gu Hongying's hair were fluttering in the wind, and her whole person was like a Wangfu stone, standing on the river embankment, letting the river breeze blow her hair and her clothes.
Gu Hongying stood motionless, her eyes were full of deep anticipation, and her heart was constantly praying, expecting and praying for her man to return safely.
