Xiangmei accompanied Su Cheng and Zhang Xing to the hygienist. Hou Liang explained to strengthen vigilance, and then went back to their respective residences with other comrades. After a busy night, it was already four or five o'clock in the morning.

Su Cheng, Xiangmei and Secretary Zhang came to the hygienist. The hygienist first looked at Officer Zhang's injury and said that Officer Zhang's fall was not light, and it would take a week or two to get better at the earliest. After seeing Su Cheng's situation, he said, it's okay, I didn't hurt my muscles and bones, rest for two days, and wait for the bruised lump to disappear.

"I said it's okay!" Su Cheng said with a smile.

"I said it was okay, my arms were swollen!" Xiangmei said distressedly.

"What is this? If the captain hadn't arrived in time, I wouldn't have seen you now. Su Cheng looked at Xiangmei and said. I thought, I'm really going to die, and Cousin Xiangmei has to find a dead and alive again, alas! The man in the war, maybe one day will be gone, come and go one by one, forget if he dies, but let the woman be sad for herself for a lifetime, it will inevitably seem cruel, so it's better to stay away from the relationship.

"Thinking about it now, are you afraid?" Zhang Xing asked with deep feelings.

"Of course! Of course...... "What Su Chenghou is afraid of is not himself, but his relatives and those who love him."

After treating their injuries, they went back to rest.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the sun had climbed up the treetops, and the sun was pouring in through the window. Hou Liang only slept for a few hours, then got up from the bed, and when it was dawn, he was going out to see the scene last night. He called Yang Ruping and sent someone to call Su Cheng. When the three of them came to the Jade Emperor Temple, Su Cheng indicated the place to put the information, and Hou Liang sighed: "This is an excellent place to transmit information!" Who usually comes here? "After coming out of the Jade Emperor Temple. They followed the direction of the man in black's escape, and looked all the way down to a bush. Yang Ruping said: This is where the men in black discarded their night clothes. Hou Liang looked around, and understood a lot in his heart, this place was very close to the wall of the Qin family's compound.

"Let's go!" Hou Liang waved his hand, and the three of them came to the wall of Qin's house. Hou Liang once thought that if the man in black was from the courtyard of the Qin family, there must be something next to this wall, otherwise. It is difficult for a single person to cross such a high wall. Looking along the fence towards both ends, sure enough, not far from the front wall. There is a large tree the size of a bucket, very close to the fence. They came to the tree, Hou Liang pointed to the tree, and then to the yard. Asked Su Cheng: "Can you borrow this tree and go back to the yard?" Su Cheng understood what the captain meant. He's going to pretend to be a man in black. Climbing trees is simply pediatric for Su Cheng, I don't know how many trees he climbed when he was a child, and he can't even remember himself. He jumped directly into the tree, grabbed the trunk between his hands and feet, and at the same time used his strength to climb up a few times to the seat of the first big fork, and he stood up. Looking into the courtyard, next to the courtyard wall is a small pond with dried water. Su Cheng knew it in his heart, he jumped down from the tree, and Hou Liang asked, "Can you jump over?" Su Cheng replied: "Jumping directly from the tree, it's still a little bit close." ”

"You mean you can't jump over Luo?" Hou Liang was a little disappointed, which meant that his judgment might be wrong, indicating that the man in black was not from the courtyard.

"Ordinary people may not work, but people in black can!" Su Cheng said with certainty, "Because, the man in black has good kung fu." After Su Cheng finished speaking, he retreated to a place five or six steps away from the tree, transported his strength to his toes, ran a few steps, kicked with both feet, lifted his Dan qi, and "swished" to the tree, his body did not stop, his feet kicked again, and his body fell to the thick branch that stretched out to the yard, and with the upward elasticity of the branch, he jumped and turned into the yard with a somersault.

Hou Liang and Yang Ruping looked at this scene, as if it was more enjoyable than watching juggling, and they couldn't help but praise it. Yang Ruping said: "It seems that this man in black is not only wise and specially trained, but also has good kung fu!" Hou Liang sighed and said, "Yes! We underestimated him, and it seems that this man is a strong opponent! After sighing with emotion, Hou Liang shouted into the courtyard: "Su Cheng! You stay where you are, and wait for us to go into the courtyard. ”

"Yes! Captain. ”

Hou Liang and Yang Ruping came to the dry pond in the courtyard, and Su Cheng was still standing in place. The two walked up to take a closer look, and there were still footprints of the man in black in the pond, especially when they landed, which were very deep. Hou Liang motioned for Su Cheng to come out of the pond, and after Su Cheng came out, Hou Liang compared the footprints of the two and found that the footprints of the man in black were slightly larger, that is, this person should be taller than Su Cheng, and then look at Su Cheng's shoes, because of jumping from a high place, and the mud in the pond is relatively soft, and the shoes are covered with mud. Hou Liang understood that although the man in black threw away his night clothes in a hurry, he brought back a pair of dirty shoes full of mud! Hou Liang said to Yang Ruping: "Pay attention to whether there are people with injured arms and dirty shoes in the yard. Yang Ruping nodded, and the three of them returned to the middle of the courtyard and happened to run into Qin Zhihao.

"Captain, deputy captain, morning!"

"Mr. Qin, what are you busy with so early?"

"No! I'm coming for you. Last night, I heard from my subordinates that there were spies entering the village, right? ”

"Yes! Master Qin, kill one, let the other run away, we suspect that he is hiding in the village, maybe in your compound. Hou Liang told Qin Zhihao bluntly, the purpose was to see how he reacted to this matter, after all, he was the master of this courtyard, and he had the most say for the man in black who entered the courtyard. Sure enough, hearing that the spy might come from the Qin family's compound, Qin Zhihao was a little stunned, and then a little nervous, this is not a joke, if it is a person in his own yard, it can cause big trouble, who knows what the Communist Party will do with their Qin family, even his baby daughter will be affected. However, after thinking about it, this kind of worry seems to be superfluous, since the guerrillas came to the Qin family, there have been no new arrivals in the Qin family's compound, that is to say, it is impossible for the spies to come to the Qin family compound early to wait for the arrival of the guerrillas, and the previous Qin family, the spies are impossible and unnecessary to come to our Qin family. Thinking of this, his heart calmed down, and he said to Hou Liang: "Captain, don't worry, I dare to guarantee that this spy is definitely not from my Qin family." ”

"Why?"

"It's simple! Recently, there have been no outsiders in my Qin family. Before your guerrillas were stationed, the spies came to our Qin family to go undercover, what are they lying in? It's obvious. Isn't it ridiculous to say that we are from the Qin family? Qin Zhihao took out his pipe, took out the tobacco from the hanging small cloth bag and pressed it into the pipe, and then handed it to Hou Liang, "Please!" Hou Liang waved his hand. took out the cigarette case from his pocket, took out the cigarette paper, and Qin Zhihao handed over the tobacco. "Taste this." Hou Liang smiled, took the cigarette, rolled it into a horn tube, and Qin Zhihao lit the match. Help Hou Liang light the horn first. Lighting his pipes again, the two of them inhaled. Hou Liang nodded: "Hmm!" It tastes good! Qin Zhihao hurriedly continued: "Then, I'll ask someone to send you some products?" Hou Liang took a hard puff, looked at the cigarette butt, and said with satisfaction: "Mr. Qin, I have received my wishes, so there is no need for tobacco, I still smoke more freely." Qin Zhihao lit it with his pipe. Smiled and said, "Ouch! The captain is polite, the military and civilian family. Why not care about the chief? ”

"Since the spy is not from your Qin family, it is from our guerrillas?" Hou Liang glanced at Qin Zhihao.

"Hey, hey, hey, captain, I didn't say that, you said it yourself." Qin Zhihao hurriedly explained.

"It's not impossible that there are spies in the guerrillas, then your Qin family is very familiar with the surrounding environment, recently, what suspicious people and things have you found?"

"That's to the point, isn't that what the chief wants to ask? Don't worry, I'll tell you right away. ”

"That's what it means! Then we'll take our leave. After speaking, Hou Liang and Yang Ruping went back to the room, and Su Cheng also returned to the class.

Hou Liang planned to call Zhao Qi and Wei Shichang to discuss what happened last night. Zhao played, just before Wei Shichang arrived, Hou Liang personally made tea, poured a cup for each person, first served a cup to Zhao Qi and Yang Ruping, and when he saw Wei Shichang walking in, he took a cup of tea and walked over. Zhao Qi took a sip of tea from the teacup and said, "Drink it!" Drink it! Good tea! Good tea! Did the captain take out all the tea leaves at the bottom of the box? ”

"Do you still drink less? This is what your sister-in-law Osmanthus brought from Dadeng's house last time. Hou Liang said as he stuffed the teacup into Wei Shichang's right hand. Wei Shichang was going to pick it up with both hands, but he didn't expect the captain to stuff it directly on his right hand, so he had to hurriedly grab the teacup with his right hand, Hou Liang didn't wait for Wei Shichang to catch his right hand with his left hand, he let go, only to hear the sound of "dangchang", the teacup held by Wei Shichang's right hand fell to the ground, broke into a few fast, and the tea spilled all over the ground. Wei Shichang's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly bent down to pick up the broken teacup. Hou Liang grabbed Wei Shichang's right arm and pulled it up, pulled Wei Shichang up, pulled Wei Shichang and walked to the table, saying as he walked: "It's rotten, it's rotten, I'll pour another glass, and then have a meeting." And shouted to the door: "Correspondent! ”

"Here!" Su Jie came in.

"Sweep up the broken teacups on the floor!"

"Yes!" Su Jie hurriedly found a broom, cleaned the house, and then went out.

Hou Liang saw that Wei Shichang's face was blue, and beads of sweat were rolling down, and he hurriedly asked, "Old Wei!" What happened to you? And helped him to sit down in a chair. Zhao Qi also hurriedly got up and asked, "Are you okay?" Wei Shichang stroked his stomach with both hands and said uncomfortably: "My stomach is uncomfortable, just rest and rest." Yang Ruping asked with concern: "Did you eat something unclean?" "It's okay! It's okay! Just wait a while. Hou Liang poured a glass of boiled water, put it in front of Wei Shichang, and said, "Don't drink tea if you have a stomachache, drink some boiled water." Wei Shichang drank some boiled water, and his face gradually returned to normal: "It's okay, let's have a meeting." When everyone saw that Wei Shichang was fine, they began to discuss.

"Last night, if it weren't for Su Cheng and Xiangmei who happened to run into spies to get information, I think, by the time the next meeting is held, those of you sitting there may have to go to a meeting somewhere underground, not only us, but even the entire guerrilla corps will face the test of life and death, I am not alarmist, it is true! You only have to look at this note to know that I'm not joking. Hou Liang said with a serious face, and passed the note to the others.

After Zhao Qi finished reading it, his face became very solemn, and he sighed "Alas, ......", it was really dangerous! This information fell into the hands of the enemy, and the consequences were unimaginable, and the captain's words just now were not too much at all! He handed the note to Yang Ruping with a heavy hand, although Yang Ruping took a cursory look at it last night, but when he saw it again today, he was still shocked by the note in front of him, what else could he say, the only thing he had now was to be glad that this note did not fall into the hands of the enemy, this is the blessing of the guerrillas! He handed the note to Wei Shichang, and after Wei Shichang read it, he threw the note on the table with his right hand and scolded: "This person who provides information is really hateful!" If it falls into my hands, Lao Tzu will have to shoot him with his own hands! As he spoke, his face turned blue again, and sweat oozed from his forehead, and he hurriedly stood up, as if he was very angry, and paced the room with his hands behind his back until his face was normal.

"The fact that the agent of the joint is dead means that the information was not sent out, and the person who put it ran away. If he runs to the enemy, then we must make emergency preparations and report the situation to the headquarters immediately: if he does not run, then this person is still by our side, and we must use false intelligence, surveillance, censorship and other means as soon as possible to dig him out and eradicate this cancer. Hou Liang said.

"When this happens, as a commissar, I am primarily responsible. The troops failed to do a good job in defending the army and fighting against the enemy, exploited loopholes for the enemy, and almost caused a catastrophe. Zhao Qi said reproachfully.

"Hey, this is not only the responsibility of the political commissar, everyone is at fault, recently, we do have paralyzing thoughts, especially after the liberation of good friends, thinking that we are very powerful, there is a feeling of fluttering, and the work against the enemy has become careless." Yang Ruping said sharply.

"Therefore, in the next step, we must take caution and do the work more carefully. First, we must strengthen prevention. All units should strengthen vigilance and arrest all suspicious persons before they are discovered. Second, we must continue to track down the traitors. Third, we must be prepared for contingencies. ”

After the meeting, Zhao Qi stayed. He saw the scene of Hou Liang pouring tea just now, and he observed it very carefully, even seeing Wei Shichang's very subtle changes.

"How?" Zhao Qi made a gesture of smashing the cup, Hou Liang understood what Zhao Qi was referring to, and sighed: "What else?" Stomach ache! Zhao Qi heard Hou Liang say this, too! What else? There is no evidence, and you didn't catch the scene, what can you say with just a little injury on your body? What's more, they are still the leaders of the brigade? But be careful!

"When we are free, we will go to the deputy political commissar to offer condolences and condolences, isn't his stomach still hurting?" Zhao Qi understood what Hou Liang meant, nodded, and went to Wei Shichang to take a look.

"That's right, Lao Hou, you just told you so clearly about tracking down the traitor, aren't you afraid of startling the snake?"

"Now at a critical moment, we must stabilize that person, so that he does not act rashly and affect our overall situation, this is called 'knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger', and it has to be done as a last resort! Not only that, but it should also be deliberately publicized in the troops. ”

"That's a great idea!" Zhao Qiqi nodded. (To be continued......)
