Chapter 739: Salt Pond Lore
The old cat guerrillas arrived at the New Taipei Salt Works after dark. The devils were stationed in the salt works by a small team, and although the barracks were not large, they were also fenced with barbed wire. This layer of barbed wire has become a big obstacle to getting in and out of the barracks.
The monkey pretended to be a water messenger and entered the barracks, and found out some suspicious points: First, the barracks was suddenly heavily guarded. In the past, when the water truck was sent into the barracks, no one cared about the devil soldiers, and when they put the water into the pool, they gave money and left.
And now not only has he been repeatedly searched and checked, but a master has also slapped a monkey to test whether he knows kung fu. If you enter the barracks and release water, you will be reprimanded if you take a casual look. This has never been done before.
Second, there was a sudden arrival of martial arts masters in the barracks. In fact, before the devils occupied it, Yanchi didn't need to be taken too seriously. Because salt is something that thousands of families need every day. But it's so worthless. At the market price, one pound of wheat can be exchanged for almost two pounds of salt.
According to the price of the salt farm, one pound of wheat can be exchanged for several pounds of salt. What's more, the residents of the salt pan are thirty or twenty miles away, and a bag of salt is enough to eat for ten or eight years. So the salt works did not buy salt. If you want to steal salt, unless you use vehicles, large-scale smuggling is worth it, but if you are found by the salt police, you will be killed.
So, the salt pan is practically unattended. The devil sent a team to watch over the salt works, mainly to prevent the large-scale transportation of salt. It usually does not need to be supervised.
Now the devil suddenly sent martial arts masters to the salt field, this is not normal.
Third, when the monkey was releasing the water, he found that doctors and nurses appeared in the barracks, although it was only a flash, but it was still discovered by the monkey.
Doctors and nurses are here to see patients. But the devils of this squad don't have such treatment. Even if the team leader is sick, he can only be sent to the hospital for treatment, and will not enjoy the doctor's door-to-door service.
Well, this patient is a human being. It could well be Kawashima. Because Kawashima is being hunted down. And he was seriously injured. He hid in this small barracks far away in the salt field, people don't know it, ghosts don't know, it should be very clever.
Therefore, through the analysis of various signs, coupled with Momoko's intelligence, it can be determined that Kawashima is hiding in the barracks.
The monkey and the old cat led the guerrillas and hid three miles away from the barracks.
The monkey said: "There are no more than ten special forces in this barracks, and their martial arts skills are good, and their marksmanship is accurate, which is the biggest threat to the team members." ”
Zhu Qing said: "These ten devils of the Black Dragon Society will not all stay in the barracks. According to the usual practice of the Black Dragon Society, they will deploy forces to defend on the perimeter. So we have to destroy the outer forces of the devils first. ”
The monkey said, "I'll do this with Zhuqing." The fourth brother and Brother Liu led the brothers to slowly approach the barracks. ”
The monkey and Zhuqing lifted it lightly, their steps were as light as a tanuki, and they quietly approached the barracks.
It was a moonless night, and the stars in the sky were obscured by puffy clouds. The salt flats appear even darker.
There was no vegetation here, except for the bare earth, the sea water in the salt ponds, and not even a single sound of insects chirping.
On the shore of the Yellow Sea, there are normally five or six winds every day, and tonight the wind has stopped, and there is a deathly silence all around. A slight cough can be heard from a mile away.
Zhu Qing said: "Brother, the target has appeared. Two hundred meters ahead, there was a movement. ”
The monkey said, "Can you tell how many people it is?" ”
Zhuqing said: "It should be two people." They are coming towards us from west to east. ”
The monkey said, "Let's lay an ambush and wait for them to come." ”
The two found a weir of a salt pond and laid an ambush. The monkey gently pulls out the tooth rod and puts it away.
This is a unique weapon handed down to him by Xiang Hudang's predecessors, a fishing rod more than three meters long, plus a fishing line six or seven meters long and a large fishing hook with a lead mound. It can kill enemies and invisible within a radius of ten meters.
Although this thing is not as powerful as a short gun, it has the advantage of having no sound and has many functions that short guns do not have.
There was not much time, and two black figures appeared in the night. They walked gently all the way and stopped more than ten meters away from the monkey and Zhuqing, as if listening to something.
Zhu Qing said, "Brother, stop breathing!"
These two devils have profound internal skills, although they do not have the magical hearing of Zhu Qing, but they are close to more than ten meters, and they can sense the danger lurking nearby just by feeling.
The monkey and Zhuqing held their breath, only their hearts were still beating. But these two devils have not yet heard the sound of a human heart beating.
They paused for more than ten seconds, and after making sure that no one was around, they began to slowly move forward again.
Ten meters, eight meters, the devil entered the attack range of the sub-tooth rod. The monkey flicked the rod slightly, and the large hook with the lead lump silently arced in the air. The monkey's wrist suddenly flicked slightly, and the hook suddenly flew towards the devil like an arrow.
The two devils were walking when suddenly one of them fell. The other devil was stunned: "Be careful!" He thought his companion had accidentally tripped up.
Zhu Qing was about to jump up and rush up. The monkey pressed lightly, and Zhuqing stopped. The monkey flicked the rod again. The big hook struck at another devil.
The devil suddenly felt that something was wrong, and suddenly he lay down, and the hook flew over his head with a sharp sound. Shot up.
The devil jumped up and ran. But before he could take two steps, he suddenly felt a heavy blow on his back, and involuntarily rushed forward two steps and fell forward.
Although the blow was not fatal, it was very heavy, and the devil lay on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood with "wow".
As soon as he gritted his teeth, he was about to get up and run away, but Zhu Qing had already caught up with him. The hand rose and fell, only to hear the "click", and the head was broken.
The monkey also flew to arrive, fearing that the devil who was knocked down first would not die, so he made up another sword.
The two dragged the bodies of the two devils behind the embankment of the salt pond, so that no more patrolling devils passed by, and they would not be discovered.
The monkey said, "Sister, if the devil has ten masters, there are still eight left." If they arrange for four to be on guard outside, then there are two more outside, and if it is six, there are four more outside. ”
Zhu Qing said: "We must destroy them before we can attack the barracks. The internal strength of these two devils just now is no worse than ours. ”
The monkey said, "They are not as bad at hearing as you are." ”
Zhu Qing said: "It's not much worse. The devil who slapped you during the day can clearly tell that your breathing is different from that of ordinary people. Just now, these two devils have already noticed that there are people nearby. ”
The monkey said, "Now it can be determined. Kawashima is in this barracks. ”
Zhu Qing said: "These are very strong opponents, we must be careful! ”
The monkey said, "What a danger! If we were to let the old cat squad come up, we would incur heavy casualties. ”
Zhu Qing said: "It is estimated that the devils on the periphery have come out to swim, and there are ambushes, so we will continue to search forward." ”
There was silence all around, which provided great convenience for Zhu Qing to search for the enemy's situation, and within a distance of two or three hundred meters, as long as there were people, they could not escape his ears.
Zhu Qing said: "Brother, two hundred meters to the east, there are two people in ambush. ”
The monkey said, "Can you tell which direction their head is facing?" ”
Zhu Qing listened quietly for a while and said, "It should be facing south and lying there." ”
The monkey said, "Let's go around and approach them from behind." ”
