The two devils ran away. When the monkey and Zhuqing arrived at the hut where they were ambushed, they were nowhere to be seen.

There were a lot of footprints everywhere outside the village, and it was not known which direction they were fleeing.

Seeing the corpses of ordinary people everywhere in the village, the monkey felt a pang of sadness in his heart, and he felt that it was his own incompetence to let such an executioner escape punishment.

Zhu Qing said: "Brother, don't worry, let's go to the roof and have a look." The two flew up the wall, climbed onto the roof, and looked around.

Zhu Qing shouted, "Brother, they're over there!"

To the northwest of the village is a cornfield, and from the rooftop, you can see a large field of pale yellow ears of corn. I saw that there were ears of corn swaying in more than a mile, apparently caused by someone running in the corn field, constantly colliding with the corn trees.

The two men got off the roof, flew out of the village, got into the cornfield, and chased straight northwest.

The long leaves of the corn are tangled and entangled, making it difficult to see ahead. But they know that as long as the general direction is good, they will not lose the two devils.

When I finally got out of the cornfield, there was a soybean field in front of me, and I could clearly see the traces left by someone running through the soybean field. In other words, those two devils had just fled northwest from the soybean fields.

The two followed the trail and chased all the way down. After the soybean field, it was another potato field. There were also traces of a collapse in the potato fields.

The monkey and the bamboo green chased after the trail. Suddenly, the trail was gone. While hesitating, the monkey shouted, "Get down!" The two of them hurriedly lay down in the potato field.

"Smack!" Two gunshots rang out, and bullets flew past where they were standing.

More than a hundred meters from them was a small grove, where gunshots rang out.

The monkey and Zhuqing lay at the bottom of the yams, turned the muzzle of the gun, and fired two shots at the place where the gun rang out.

Look again, there is a small ditch in front. No wonder there were no traces of trampling on the potato field, and it turned out that the devil jumped into a small ditch all the way to the north, and then turned west into the grove. Where they were hiding, when they saw the monkey and Zhuqing chasing after them, they suddenly fired two shots, which caught the monkey and Zhuqing off guard.

When the two devils saw the monkey and Zhuqing shooting back, they hurriedly shrank their heads to dodge. The monkey and Zhuqing took this opportunity to roll and enter a small ditch, which was out of danger.

The monkey said, "It's dangerous! I went around the Lord of Yama again. ”

Zhu Qing said: "These two devils are so cunning, they must not be let go today." ”

The monkey said, "We were chasing too quickly and didn't think it through. Almost gave me my life. Sister, are they still in ambush in the woods? ”

Zhu Qing listened for a moment and said, "I can't hear their panting." ”

The monkey said, "They're running again?" ”

Zhu Qing listened for a while and said, "I've already run two hundred meters." ”

With a wave of the monkey's hand, the two jumped out of the ditch and ran into the woods. Only two bullet casings remained in the grove.

They came to the west side of the woods, in front of which were endless soybean fields. Within two or three miles, it was empty, and there was not a single figure in the ground, nor was there any trace of the two devils.

In such a short period of time, it is impossible for a devil to run two miles away. They must be hiding somewhere in this bean field. Wait for the monkey and Zhuqing to appear, and then another surprise attack.

The monkeys and bamboos took cover from the trees and scanned every corner of the bean field. However, no anomalous findings were made. Where have the devils gone?

The monkey said, "Sister, look, this is the mark left by the devil when he escaped from the soybean field, and the bean tree was thrown all the way down. We followed the trails they left and looked inside. ”

Zhuqing said: "Don't look for it, they appeared in the north." ”

The monkey said, "See, they went out of the fields and went up the road." ”

Zhu Qing said: "It is about 800 meters away from us now. I'll give it a shot. ”

The effective range of the three or eight guns is about 500 meters, and now the distance between the two devils is more than half of the range, can they hit it?

Zhu Qing picked up his rifle, held his breath, took a slight aim, and fired a shot with a "snap". I saw two devils fall forward with the sound of gunfire.

The monkey gave a thumbs up and said, "Hit!" ”

Zhu Qing said: "It's too far, it's missed." One of the devils may be injured. ”

The monkey said, "Let's go, let's see!" ”

Zhu Qing said: "Brother, let's be careful, they still have one that can fight." ”

The two of them held their guns, keeping them in a position where they could fire in the shortest possible time, and they didn't dare to go too fast from the soybean field to the north, which would affect the shooting. Slowly searched all the way, and there was no unexpected situation.

They came to a dirt road that was not too wide, but they could no longer see the shadows of the two devils.

The monkey said, "Sister, are they in ambush nearby?"

Zhu Qing said: "I can't hear any movement. ”

The monkey said, "Where were they shot?"

Zhuqing said: "About thirty meters in front. ”

When the two came to the place where the devil was shot and fell, they saw a pool of blood on the ground. This shot really hit the devil, but the devil's person was missing. That is to say, there is no death, and if he dies, another devil will not run away with his corpse. But being injured is certain.

The devil's injuries were not very serious, because there was not much blood on the ground. And the other devil was helping him to walk, not carrying him on his back.

Zhu Qing said: "Brother, you see there is blood there!" ”

The trail of blood crossed the dirt road and was scattered northward. To the north of the road is a wasteland. After the wasteland, there is a big river that bends north from here, which is a tributary of the Shu River, called the Sand River.

The trail of blood ran down the river all the way north. Traced all the way to the past, and found a first-aid kit on the beach by the Sand River. It seems that the ghost is bandaged here. The sand on the edge of the Sand River is very soft, leaving obvious footprints.

Following the footprints forward, the monkey and Zhuqing did not dare to speed up, because the terrain by the river is more complicated, and there are many places to hide. They must make sure that the two devils are not ambushed before they can move on.

After following this for seven or eight miles, the footprints left the river and went to a small village. There were twenty or thirty families in that small village, more than a mile away from the river. As we approached the village, the footprints were indistinguishable.

The village was quiet, as if no one was living there. The monkey and Zhuqing didn't know if the devil was ambushed somewhere, and they didn't dare to enter the village rashly.

They hid outside the village. The monkey said, "Sister, if the devils enter the homes of the common people, can you tell them?" ”

Zhu Qing said: "This is okay, ordinary people breathe heavily and shortly, but these two devils have deep internal strength, and their breathing is even and long." ”

The monkey said, "Then listen, are there any devils in this family at the edge of the village?" ”

The two of them hunched their waists, approached the family gently, hid outside the courtyard wall and listened for a while, saying, "There are only two adults and one child in this family, and there are no devils. ”

The monkey said, "Okay, let's go and inquire." "When he came to the gate, he pushed it, and the door bolted from the inside. The monkey said, "We went in through the courtyard wall." ”

The two of them shook their figures, jumped onto the courtyard wall, and fell gently into the courtyard. Only to hear a woman scream: "Ah! ”

A man with a wooden stick in his hand struck at the monkey: "I'm fighting with you!" ”

The monkey reached out and grabbed the stick, and said calmly, "Don't be angry, big brother, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you." We just want to ask you something. ”

The man struggled to retrieve the stick. When he saw the monkey and Zhuqing, he didn't mean to use force. Then he said, "Who are you?" What are you here for? ”

The monkey said, "We are the Eighth Route Army, chasing two devils. We would like to ask, did two people with guns enter the village just now? ”

The man asked vigilantly, "Are you really the Eighth Route Army?" ”

The monkey said, "Is this still false? My name is Monkey, you may have heard of it. ”

The man said, "You're a monkey?" Is this Zhuqing? Is Zhuqing a man? ”

Zhu Qing said in his original voice: "I am Zhu Qing, and I disguised myself as a man in order to fight devils." ”

The monkey said, "Big brother, could you please tell us that there were two people with guns who came to the village just now?" ”

The man said, "Just now two men with guns came into the village. Everyone was terrified. But the two men went around the village and left. ”

The monkey said, "In what direction?" ”

He replied, "I went to the Sand River." ”

The monkey said, "Thank you, big brother, for frightening you." After that, he and Zhuqing jumped out of the courtyard wall and went straight to the Shahe River to chase after him.
