Chapter 2: The Consequences of Drunkenness
After the snow is clear, the Wanghai Mountain is like a giant white jade sculpture, and the towering peaks reach into the sky. Blue sky, white mountain. The colors are distinct and unified. The mountains of green pines and cypresses are like white umbrella covers. "This is the Wanghai Mountain of the military seat, and it is indeed where the gods live!" Murat looked up at the mountain and kept admiring.
"Battalion commander, the snow has covered the road, where do we go up the mountain?" The scout, who had no artistic appreciation, asked such a spicy question. With Hu Fei's promotion to army commander, Murati also rose to the top and became the commander of the reconnaissance battalion. As for Cheng Laogang, he was appointed as the colonel of the First Volunteer Army, and the chief of intelligence.
"What hill to go up to? How do you get up the mountain if you can't find your way? Murat glared at him angrily, "I said Zhang Qiang, you are a scout, not a soldier of an infantry battalion." Use your brains when you encounter problems! ”
"Yes!" Investigator Zhang Qiangli was right, and then asked with a bitter face: "However, the military seat asked us to come to Wanghaishan to find out the situation." We can't even go up the mountain, how can we listen to the information? ”
"Who said you have to go up the mountain to listen to information? Can't you find information at the bottom of the mountain? What an elm head! Won't you first ask the local folks at the bottom of the mountain? With a black eye, what can you find even if you go up the mountain? With such a big mountain, are you going to check it all up and down? ”
Mulati covered his face with a reprimand, and investigator Zhang Qiang nodded again and again. Another scout next to him covered his mouth and snickered.
"What's so funny? Wei Jian, you go west, Zhang Qiang and I go east, let's look for it separately. After an hour, whether you find your fellow or not, you have to return, or meet here. Let's go! Anyway, no matter what Wei Jian's face was, Murati took Zhang Qiang to the east and left. Wei Jian stood in place and hesitated for a moment, so he had to go west alone.
In fact, for scouts like them, it's normal for a person to get information in a hostile environment. Not to mention the snow, it is common to conduct intelligence in enemy-occupied areas where Japanese invaders are rampant. Now it's just a little harsh, at least their lives are not in danger.
I walked in the snow for a long time, and when I looked at my watch, there were only ten minutes left before the return time of an hour. There is a distinctive white protrusion on the edge of the woods in front of us, which looks like a house.
Wei Jian rubbed his eyes, walked a few steps forward quickly, and took out a small telescope from his arms to take a closer look, it was indeed a private house. Estimate the distance, and you'll be there in about an hour by walking yourself. Carving a mark on a nearby tree, Wei Jian turned around and left. He hurried back to meet the battalion commander and come over again.
At the meeting point, Murati and Zhang Qiang were stomping their feet under a large pine tree. Seeing someone coming from afar, Zhang Qiang hurriedly raised his hand to greet him: "Wei Jian, have you found your fellow countryman?" ”
"I found a house, what about you?"
"We didn't find anything. Have you found a house? Where? Is there anyone in there? "Hearing that Wei Jian had made a discovery, Murat immediately came to his senses.
"It's over there, almost an hour's walk." Wei Jian pointed in the direction he came from, "I saw that the time was up, and I hurried back before I had time to get there." Battalion commander, I'll show you the way. ”
The three of them walked along the footprints of Wei Jian, much faster than when Wei Jian first walked, and by the time they reached the marked pine tree, it had only been forty minutes.
"That's it!" Wei Jian pointed to the houses that were mostly covered in snow.
Three ** steps over, more than 50 meters away from the house, there was a dog barking, I don't know where a half-person tall black dog came out, barking at the three people.
The wooden door creaked, and out of it came a big man in a leather jacket. The big man shouted twice, and the big black dog immediately stopped barking. A woman and two and a half children came out of the door, and at first glance this was an ordinary family of four.
"Fellow, is this Wanghai Mountain?" Murat broke the silence with his mouth.
"Yes, this mountain is Wanghai Mountain. Have you come to look at the sea and mountains? ”
"Ah, no, we're not here to look at the sea and mountains. We went to Liaozhong, and I heard that Wanghai Mountain is quite famous in this vicinity, so we came to see the snow scene. Unexpectedly, I couldn't find my way up the mountain. By the way, fellow, do you know where to go up the mountain? ”
"Up the hill to see the snow? Hehe, it's the first time I've heard of someone coming to Wanghai Mountain to see the snow. Unfortunately, the snow was so heavy that the road up the mountain was blocked by snow. Come on, come to my house for a drink to warm up, eat something for the night, and come back tomorrow. You have to wait for the snow to melt when the scenery becomes. ”
The fellow warmly invited the three of them into the house for a drink. The three of Murat are indeed a little hungry, since they are so enthusiastic, let's go and fill their stomachs first. When you drink, you can also ask about the situation of Wanghaishan by the way, and give people some money when you leave.
The inside and outside are two worlds. Outside, the snow was covered with snow and the north wind was howling, and the fire in the room was as warm as spring. The male host accompanied the three guests to drink and chat, and the female hostess was busy in the kitchen. The two children looked at the stranger curiously, whispering something from time to time.
"Wanghaishan is not a good place to go, it is a den of old thieves! The old north wind erected the locks on Wanghai Mountain, which was later dispersed by the Japanese and then stopped for a while. In the past few years, another group of people have come to the mountains. The banner is flying all over the sky, saying that it is an anti-Japanese self-defense army, but in fact it is still a beard! However, these bearded men don't commit crimes under this mountain, they all go to a distant place to commit crimes. ”
Murati's mouth was good, and after a few glasses of wine, the man of the family confessed everything he knew about Wanghaishan.
Murati, Zhang Qiang, and Wei Jian frequently exchanged glances, and the three of them felt that the trip was very fruitful. I can't remember how many glasses I drank, but in short, two bottles of white wine made the four of them drink to the bottom, and a few plates of game were almost eaten.
Murati felt his head dizzy for a while, and then saw that Zhang Qiang had climbed onto the table, Wei Jian also squinted his eyes and took a nap. The local wine in this countryside is quite high, and it seems that the servants really have to sleep here today. As soon as he thought of sleeping, Murati's head was dizzy again, and now he couldn't control himself anymore, and he lost consciousness as soon as his head tilted.
I don't know how long it took, but Murat was awakened by a burst of laughter. When he opened his eyes, he still felt a little spinning, but what surprised him even more was that his body couldn't move. To be more precise, two arms tied with rope!
