Chapter 81: Race Walking

A hint of fish belly white finally appeared on the horizon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The dew in the grass soaked the shoes and trouser legs, and every time I landed my feet, there was a gurgling sound in my shoes.

But everyone is still in a hurry, because they know that there must be devils chasing behind.

Whenever Murong Pei couldn't catch up with everyone's footsteps, Huo Xiaoshan didn't hesitate to carry Murong Pei on his back.

The two of them no longer have the shyness they had at the beginning, and they showed a very tacit understanding, when they wanted to carry it, Huo Xiaoshan only needed to lower his body in front of Murong Pei, and Murong Pei's two soft arms would wrap around Huo Xiaoshan's neck.

The old man, who was the guide, was very fast, obviously very familiar with the area, and his fifties were not too old, so everyone followed closely behind, and hurried forward with their heads down.

In comparison, the RB devils who were chasing after them were a little slower, and it wasn't that the devils couldn't march quickly.

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the RB soldiers were all well-trained, and without the help of boats and vehicles, each person could add about 20 kilograms of weight, and the rapid march could reach 70 or 80 kilometers a day, while the Chinese army was only 60 kilometers at most.

The reason for the slow speed of the devil this time is that they are unfamiliar with the road in the mountain, and the three old men who were arrested as guides are not willing to work hard for the little devils, and second, they are already very old, and their legs and feet are not good.

So unconsciously, Huo Xiaoshan and the others had already left the devil behind for some distance.

Kiyono Jun saw that the speed of his team was too slow, and he was secretly anxious in his heart.

He thought about it for a while, and the first order he gave was to use the newly equipped walkie-talkie given to him by the Kwantung Army Headquarters to contact the devils elsewhere and ask them to strengthen the search along the line of the Great Wall.

Kiyono Jun is also using a walkie-talkie for the first time, which is really a good thing, you must know that this walkie-talkie will only be equipped at the division level and above.

And the fact that he was equipped with one also shows that the top of the imperial army attaches great importance to this case, and this is the main reason why he is angry because he can't catch the young man's group.

The other is that he called the only two remaining ninjas in the special search team, and asked them to lead the rest of the samurai in the special search team to throw off the large army and rush forward as fast as possible, trying to find the traces of the young man and his group as soon as possible.

This time, he made a special emphasis on letting all the members of the special search team carry guns, because he realized that if he couldn't catch the young man this time, he would basically have no chance to solve the case.

Although the people on both sides couldn't see each other, they were desperately rushing forward.

In the midst of this race, I saw the sun rise, the dew on the grass disappeared, and then the sun rose to the middle of the heavens.

When it was more than seven o'clock in the evening, Zhou Liebao and the others decided to rest for a while, one was that people needed to eat and drink some water, and on the other hand, according to the old man who led the way, they would walk a few miles further to the Great Wall.

Their place of rest was in the middle of a wooded hill, which was quite dense, with many mature poplars, old and craggy, and many of the trunks were thick and encircled.

But there are not too many trees on the rolling hills around it, and shady green grass grows on them.

The hill they had chosen was the highest in the surrounding terrain, and it was easy to observe if there were devils coming from behind.

Huo Xiaoshan and Murong Pei were both sitting on the grass, eating dry food and drinking water.

Murong Pei was not very tired, because the time that Huo Xiaoshan walked with her on his back on his back was far longer than the time that Murong Pei walked by himself.

Since the amount of food the girl was already small, Murong Pei quickly finished eating, and found all kinds of small flowers in the grass, wanting to make another garland.

The sun was already level with the western horizon, turning a crimson color, and a faint golden light shrouded Murong Pei's body through the gaps in the trees, Murong Pei was quickly picking flowers on the grass, like a free forest elf far away from the world.

Murong Pei didn't realize that when Huo Xiaoshan was by his side, he was like a happy bird who could restore his innocent and lively nature.

This feeling of happiness has surpassed that of when my mother was alive, I didn't have to think about anything and didn't have to plan, an extremely simple happiness, as if it was a compensation for my original cautious and preoccupied life.

Murong Pei suddenly saw that there were a few red and bright flowers growing in the grass on the edge of the woods, which was very gratifying, so he jumped over to pick them.

While Huo Xiaoshan was eating, he followed Murong Pei with his eyes, as if that girl who was as beautiful as an elf was his whole world.

At this time, when he saw Murong Pei about to walk to the edge of the woods, his face suddenly changed.

"Wait." He stood up and shouted.

Murong Pei turned her head and looked at Huo Xiaoshan in surprise, she didn't understand why Huo Xiaoshan stopped her.

"I'll pick it for you." Huo Xiaoshan walked quickly past her, walked to the edge of the woods, pulled off the flowers with the stems, and then walked back and handed them to Murong Pei's hands.

"What a beautiful flower!" Murong Pei exclaimed, "Isn't it, Xiao Shanzi." ”

The red color of the flower, the petals are slender, curved backwards into an arc, and there is a thin stamen in the middle, and the overall shape looks like a red lantern hung by each family during the Chinese New Year.

Huo Xiaoshan knew that this flower was a wild lily, and when he was a child, he heard the old lady Song Zijun say it.

However, Huo Xiaoshan didn't say anything, just looked around with his eyes.

"What's wrong, Xiaoshanzi?" Murong Pei asked.

Huo Xiaoshan stretched out his hand and took Murong Pei's little hand, walked towards Zhou Liebao and the three of them, who had just finished eating, walked up to them and said, "I seem to smell the smell of RB people." ”

"Where?!" Zhou Liebao and the three of them were all startled, and stood up from the grass in unison.

"It's supposed to be behind a small hill outside the woods, and it's the guys who are good at stalking and holding Toyo knives." Huo Xiaoshan said.

Zhou Liebao undoubtedly believed in Huo Xiaoshan, and in the mountains and forests of HLJ, Huo Xiaoshan saved Murong Pei's life from the RB man's katana with his amazing insight.

Traffic Officer Lu was skeptical, but at this time, although Huo Xiaoshan did not put forward any supporting evidence, he would rather believe that he had something than not.

"Then why didn't they rush over?" Zhou Liebao asked contemplatively.

"I guess they're waiting for the devil's brigade." Huo Xiaoshan said.

"So what do we do?" Murong Pei looked at Huo Xiaoshan and asked worriedly.

"Uncle, how far are we from the Great Wall?" Zhou Liebao turned his gaze to the old man.

"It's not far, it's a few more hills, and it will take half an hour at most." The old man replied.

"I see it that way." Huo Xiaoshan said, "I have to go and kill these nasty tails, you go first, and I'll catch up later!" ”
