The gunfire at the foot of the hill was tight, the streets were filled with the sound of gunfire and grenade explosions, and hundreds of soldiers dressed in black were moving quickly towards the center of the town.

At this time, the fire under the mountain was soaring, and the killing was regrettable, and the black-clothed group shouted frantically, "Kill all the Red Party and capture the M bandits alive." ”

……

"Report! M Commissioner! We're surrounded. The commander of the guard company hurriedly broke into a room with an oil lamp in the center of the town, and saw a tall and thin man, a young man called Commissar M, standing in the room calmly!

The man was calm and calm, in fact, he had already been awakened by the sound of gunshots, and at this moment, seeing the commander of the guard company in a hurry, he asked in a thick Hunan accent: "What's the matter?" ”

Company Commander Zeng carried a shell gun in his hand, took out another one and handed it to Commissioner M, and said eagerly: "We have been surrounded by white dogs, and the troops have now been dispersed." The situation is urgent, you keep this for self-defense, and we will protect you to withdraw. -- Just now I spotted that there was no movement in the hill behind Lao Cai, so let's quickly retreat to the back hill. ”

Commissioner M didn't take the gun, but just pointed his finger at it, "With you people here, how can I use this?" Or do you keep it, -- what's going on? ”

"According to the information I have received, it seems that the group that surrounded us was the Longquan Jingwei Regiment, whose general name was Xiao Jiayu, and that he was a reactionary element with sores on his head and pus on the soles of his feet, and somehow found out that we were camping here. With more than 400 regiments, they have all been pressed up now......" Company Commander Zeng said in an anxious report.

Commissioner M glanced at the loyal and brave warriors and replied thoughtfully, "This old dog has a very smart nose. ”

At this moment, the soldiers of the guard company also followed into the house, staring at Commissioner M with panicked eyes, and looking out of the house from time to time with great vigilance, as if to say: Hurry up, if you don't leave, it may be too late. Commissar M glanced at everyone, and then waved his hand decisively and said, "Withdraw!" ”

Company Commander Zeng hurriedly ordered the soldiers to pack up and retreat to the intended target in a hurry. Here, the group withdrew from the courtyard, and as soon as they reached the back mountain, there was a dull grenade explosion in the courtyard.

"Bang...... Boom...... Bang ......"

The leader of the doglegs was also shouting arrogantly, "Fight, brothers, fight hard, kill one and reward the ocean, and capture one alive and reward the ocean with ten dollars." ”

The gunfire of "Bo Bo Bo ......" flew randomly randomly, and the whole town was involved, and it seemed that they couldn't distinguish each other, and some were just gunshots and killings...... This made the two men hiding in the squatter more and more nervous, and the roe deer, who had just been knocked unconscious, seemed to be awakened by the sound of gunshots, and issued a very restless restlessness at this inopportune moment.

"It's not good, there's a situation!" Company Commander Zeng, who was walking in front, heard the movement coming from the squatter shed, and immediately let out a low roar, vigilantly signaling everyone to hide.

The young man in the squatter instinctively tightened the roe deer, and he also heard the footsteps from the bottom up, and an inexplicable fear suddenly surged in his heart. At that time, the young man was almost extremely nervous, and his little face was already red.

It wasn't until those people gradually got closer that he saw that the strangers who were moving towards the mountain seemed to be different from the previous Jingwei Regiment, because he could already see from the clothes of those people, but he didn't know who the people were, and his brain was spinning rapidly, but one thing reassured him, but judging from their actions, it seemed that there was no malice towards the two of them, and in an instant, there was no trace of fear in his heart.

But the old man was still concentrating, and seemed to sit calmly on his knees in the squatter tent.

At this time, it was dawn, the foggy mountain had already exposed some outlines, and the towering trees were faintly revealed in the morning light, and the revolutionaries who were moving up the mountain could already faintly see the figures inside through the cracks in the squatters.

At this time, Wang Cizhen, the guard who walked in the front, had sharp eyes, recognized the old man in the squatter at a glance, and whispered to Company Commander Zeng: "Company Commander Zeng, the two of them are fine, I know them, they are an uncle of my own family." ”

The alert company commander Zeng temporarily relaxed his tense nerves, he approached the squatter and said cordially to the old and young people in the squatter: "Fellow, don't be afraid! We are the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, and we are the team that fights the world for our poor people! ”

When the old man and the young man in the squatter saw the polite appearance of the visitor, they also relaxed their vigilance. Commissioner M bowed his head and followed the crowd into the squatter's shack.

Wang Cizhen shouted "uncle" to the old man, and introduced to the M committee member who came in later: "M commissioner, this is an uncle of my own family, named Li Yuanhai, I heard that he participated in the Boxer Rebellion in his early years, and he is also a martial arts senior in this county, and the young man next to him should be my uncle's little apprentice Li Biao. ”

The old man listened to Wang Cizhen's introduction, and immediately clenched his fists in his chest, "Offended, offended!" My apprentice and I were just hunting, and we accidentally broke in, which is really offended! ”

"Whereever, it's us uninvited guests who have disturbed you." Commissar M glanced at the roe deer that the young man was holding, and already knew that it was not Xiao Jiayu's ambush, but a pair of hunters.

Company Commander Zeng looked at the somewhat unhurried old man, and still said very hurriedly: "Fellow, you better go quickly, there is a firefight here." ”

After Commissar M greeted the old man, he couldn't help but gasp when he saw the black-clothed men all over the mountains and fields under the mountain through the cracks in the squatters. But he said calmly: "No hurry, no hurry! We're out of the encirclement. ”

At this time, Li Yuanhai faced the officers and soldiers who broke in, and he already knew in his heart that this group of people had no ill will towards him, but he didn't know whose soldiers they were. Seeing that the speaker with a short gun did not look like a chief, but the person surrounded by everyone was dressed in civilian clothes and did not hold a gun in his hand. Tall, with a thin figure, dressed in a gray cloth tunic with frayed cuffs and elbows, and a red belt around his neck; What is different is that there is no belt around the waist, and the square face tanned by the sun has vigorous black hair; His cheekbones were high, his eyes were bright, his hands were on his hips, and he was looking out calmly; It shows extraordinary fortitude and gentleness.

Li Yuanhai thought that this person's popularity was extraordinary, and if he was not a masterpiece, he was a hidden dragon.
