It is said that the monkey and Zhuqing chatted while walking, and they didn't realize that their relationship deepened a lot. In the face of the vast wilderness and green earth, people's mood is also cheerful. Zhuqing's mood is also much better.

Let's talk about it, I don't feel that I have walked more than 20 miles. Zhu Qing suddenly said, "Brother Monkey, look at that person." ”

There was a man in front of him, walking like the wind. The monkey said, "That man can do light work, and his kung fu is very high." ”

Zhu Qing said: "It doesn't look like a person who knows martial arts. But he knows martial arts. That's weird. ”

The monkey said, "It means that he pretends not to know martial arts." ”

Zhu Qing said: "Why is he pretending? ”

The monkey said, "That's the secret." The purpose of pretending is to prevent others from seeing that he knows martial arts. After all, there are a few people who know martial arts, which is very eye-catching in the crowd. He pretended not to know martial arts, just because he didn't want to attract the attention of others. ”

Zhu Qing said: "Why doesn't he want to attract people's attention? ”

The monkey said: "In order not to reveal their identity. That is, not to let others know who he is. ”

Zhu Qing said: "Why are you afraid that others will know who he is? ”

"If someone knows who he is, he may not be able to do something, or threaten his safety," the monkey said. ”

Zhu Qing said: "Who could threaten his safety? ”

The monkey said, "It depends on who he is." If he is an ordinary person in China, he doesn't need to pretend, because pretending and not pretending will result in the same. If he is China's anti-Japanese force, it is unlikely that he will be on the Nanjing side, because this is not a strategic place, and there will be no major battles in this place. And it's the hinterland of the devil-occupied zone, and there's no need for them to operate here. ”

Zhu Qing said: "Could it be someone from the Eighth Route Army?" ”

The monkey said: "It is not excluded that it is the person of the special commissioner. But we are currently carrying out the most important mission in the region, and if the special assignment is carrying out a more important and confidential mission than ours, it can be kept secret from us. In addition, the special commissioners will be in contact with us. ”

Zhu Qing said: "Then there is a great possibility that this person is Japanese." ”

"If this man is Japanese, acting alone, and in disguise, then he is on what should be a dangerous and confidential mission," the monkey said. Such a person is certainly not an ordinary soldier in Japan, but someone who belongs to an organization like the Black Dragon Society. ”

Zhu Qing smiled: "When you see a person, you can find out who he is." I don't know if you're pushing it or not. ”

The monkey also smiled: "It's just reasoning, whether it's true or not, we don't know yet." Because we have limited information. ”

Zhu Qing said: "Then let's follow this person and test your reasoning." ”

The monkey said: "This is just a passing when we walk, we also have to get in touch with Brother Xu Sheng as soon as possible, he must know more than us." ”

Zhu Qing said, "That's. ”

The monkey said, "Don't forget to look for the mark left by Brother Xu Sheng." ”

Zhu Qing said: "Brother Xu Sheng's mark has not been broken, and he came along this road. ”

The monkey said, "Look at the man in front of him, when there is no one on the road, he walks very fast, and when he meets a pedestrian, he walks slowly." ”

Zhu Qing said: "That man looks like a farmer, but his clothes are much cleaner than ordinary people. ”

The monkey said, "This is also a suspicion. ”

There is something to reason along the way, and it is not lonely. I didn't realize that I had arrived in Yishui Town. It is a large rural market town, and there are many villages around the town, and although it is not a market day, there are still many people coming and going on the streets.

The man walked through the town and into a compound northwest of the town. This family seems to be the first in the local area, and the area of the yard is no smaller than the Fang family's compound.

More than a hundred meters away from the compound, Zhuqing found a stick figure of a plum blossom drawn on a pigsty.

Zhu Qing said: "Brother Monkey, you see, this is the mark left by Brother Xu Sheng. ”

The monkey said, "Brother Xu Sheng has already noticed this place. Let's go back to the town and see if we can find Brother Xu Sheng. ”

The monkey and Zhuqing walked slowly back to the town. It was almost noon, and the two found a small restaurant, went in and sat down, and asked for something to eat. Eat slowly while observing the scene on the street.

Zhu Qing said: "Brother Monkey, you see, there are many people like that person just now on the street." ”

The monkey said, "I've noticed it too." Look at those two people, their eyes are shining, and they are people with deep internal skills. ”

Zhuqing said, "There's another one over there." ”

The monkey said, "Wait a minute, I've met an acquaintance." ”

Zhu Qing said: "See Brother Xu Sheng? ”

The monkey said, "No." Do you see those three people coming over there? ”

Zhuqing said: "I saw it. ”

The monkey said, "I have seen the man in the middle." I can't remember it for a while. ”

At this moment, the owner of the hotel came up and said, "Two guest officers, someone wants to see you." ”

The monkey said, "Who wants to see us?" ”

The boss said, "Please come with me." ”

The monkey and the bamboo green had already eaten by this time. He followed the boss through the store and into the backyard. Both the monkey and the bamboo are the closest to the spear, and if something happens, they can pull out the gun as quickly as possible.

The boss led the two into a secluded room in the backyard, only to see a middle-aged man wrapping gauze around his calves, hearing footsteps, and looking up, it was Brother Xu Sheng.

The monkey said, "Brother Xu, are you injured?" ”

Zhu Qing said, "Brother Xu, what's the matter?" ”

Xu Sheng said: "Brother, sister, you are here just in time. ”

The monkey said, "Brother Xu, is the injury serious?" ”

Xu Sheng said: "Scratching a little skin does not affect the work. ”

The boss said, "Talk, I'll go back to the front store." ”

After the boss left, the monkey said, "Brother Xu, tell me what's going on?" ”

Xu Sheng said that when he first came yesterday, like Monkey Zhuqing, he also found some people with martial arts walking around on the street, why did some people with martial arts suddenly appear in this place?

He identified a follower, and finally found that the man had entered the Qin family's compound in the northwest corner of the town. From noon to evening, a total of five such people were found walking into the Qin family's compound.

He inquired with the local residents, and everyone said that they had seen people walking around the Qin family's compound recently, but they had never seen these people. And for more than a month, the residents of the town have not seen the Qin family's people coming in and out. These phenomena show that these people are outsiders that everyone does not know. And if you don't see the people of the Qin family coming in and out, you can't tell what the reason is.

So Xu Sheng decided to go to the Qin family compound at night to scout and see if there was anything wrong with the Qin family's compound.

It was dark for a long time, Xu Sheng left the town and walked north, wanting to go around the back of the Qin family and observe from behind the Qin family, but suddenly a bullet flew and hit Xu Sheng's calf, although the injury was not too serious. But it's still a bit lame to walk.

The monkey said, "This shot is so accurate." ”

Zhu Qing said: "Brother Xu, didn't anyone who shot a gun come to check later?" ”

Xu Sheng said, "No." I've always wondered about this, listening to the gunshot, it's at least 500 meters. After I was shot, I lay down and didn't move. Maybe they came looking for it, but they didn't find it. It wasn't until the second half of the night that I slipped back. ”

The monkey said, "Is this shopkeeper reliable?" ”

Xu Sheng said: "Reliable. This is a secret contact point of the Yishui County Party Committee. ”
