After Zong Tao finished speaking, he threw the dry grass on his hand, patted the dust on his hand, and straightened up.

"Fifth brother and sixth brother, let's go around the village."

Gao Jicheng said: "Captain, Qili Chong said that there are more than a dozen households, and it is impossible for them to check every family." That's a big goal. ”

Zong Tao smiled slightly: "Of course you don't have to. The village house is not an ideal place for spies,"

He Dashan had an epiphany, "So it's a relatively remote village?" ”

Zong Tao nodded. Gao Jicheng came up with a sentence: "There are also households with a small population, and then there are lazy people,"

Zong Tao nodded appreciatively.

This statement suddenly remembered one person.

"Captain, there is a man named Sun Xiaoping in the west of the village, his mother passed away not long ago, and now he is single. The place was relatively remote, a few dozen meters away from the nearest farmer, and the important thing was that he was an idle man. ”

Zong Tao raised his eyebrows, and immediately said, "Twelfth brother, go to the threshing floor to see, has he gone?" ”

Sanxi answered, and was just about to move, when he suddenly saw Sun Xiaoping walking slowly towards the threshing floor, and his eyes swept to this side from time to time.

This small slope is a few dozen meters away from the dirt road leading to the threshing floor, and the slope is high enough to see the mountain path below. However, there is an oblique angle, so I don't pay much attention to it, so it's not easy to look at it here.

"Captain, the person on the road is Sun Xiaoping, the owner of the house in the west of the village."

Zong Tao glanced at it. Sun Xiaoping saw that someone swept him, and hurriedly walked to the threshing floor with his head down.

At this time, the threshing floor was full of gongs and drums, the erhu transverse flute, and the melodious music, and the play was about to start.

Zong Tao whispered: "Twelfth brother, you take the fifth brother to the threshing floor and keep an eye on this person." My sixth brother and I went around Sun Xiaoping's house. ”

Sanxi took He Dashan away, and Zong Tao took Gao Jicheng and quietly moved to the house in the west of the village.

Zong Tao and Gao Jicheng touched the west of the village lightly. Sure enough, a low adobe house stood alone at the foot of the mountain. Zong Tao's eyes lit up, and he made a gesture for Gao Jicheng to follow behind him, sticking to the wall and going around the back. Looking at this, Zong Tao has a bottom in his heart.

The back door of this adobe house faces the back hill, and it is only a dozen meters away from the forest.

Gao Jicheng was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard a slight movement in the room. The two looked at each other.

Zong Tao snorted: "Brother Gao, Qilichong has boundless scenery, it is a good place to go." But the road is not easy to walk. Look at you, brought in the wrong place, right? The play has begun, let's go. ”

Gao Jicheng said with a smile: "The Gao family is going to the peak, how do I know?" Now that I'm thirsty, beg for water. ”

Gao Jicheng is very clever and wants to take the opportunity to explore the reality in the house.

Zong Tao said: "You see that the door is closed, is there anyone in the house?" Maybe I'm going to see a play. ”

Gao Jicheng didn't answer, turned to the door, and knocked lightly.

"Anyone? Fellow, beg for a drink. ”

There was clear movement in the room, but no one answered.

Zong Tao glanced at Gao Jicheng and laughed: "I said no one, right?" Let's go, or go to the field, maybe there is tea there. ”

The two talked and laughed and left Sun Xiaoping's house. When he was about to get to the threshing floor, Gao Jicheng whispered: "Captain, I think there is someone in that room." ”

Zong Tao smiled slightly: "Someone is right, now it can be concluded that this landlord is Liu Qishan's contact point." ”

"Then tell the eighth brother and they will arrest the people inside!"

Zong Tao shook his head again and again: "Keep the spies who lead out of the cottage!" ”

Gao Jicheng understood, stopped talking, and the two entered the theater.

Zong Tao found Sun Xiaoping standing on the west side of the theater, saw them entering, and glanced around. Gao Jicheng wanted to lean towards Sun Xiaoping, but Zong Tao grabbed him and walked straight to the east of the field.

"Ignore him?"

Zong Tao sighed: "Watch the play, watch the play." ”

Zong Tao found that Sanxi was also on the east side of the field, not far from him, and was tiptoeing to look west, so he gently leaned over, dragged him, and gestured with his eyes. Sanxi no longer cares about it.

Zong Tao knew in his heart that there were still more than a dozen brothers in the forest, and he would wait and see, they didn't have to startle the snakes.

Sun Xiaoping saw that the few people he had just slipped away had gone to the east of the field, he thought he had a plan, watched the play for a while, couldn't help but be curious, quietly left the threshing floor, and touched the front of the patterned hillside.

The pattern is the same, there is no change in the half-point, Sun Xiaoping believes that those people just bumped into each other by chance, curious.

Sun Xiaoping no longer had the intention of watching the play, and quietly turned home.

He didn't know that his whereabouts had been targeted at the moment.

Li Erhu is an impatient person, hiding in the forest, suddenly saw Zong Tao and others looking at something in front of the hillside not far away, curiosity suddenly rose, and after Zong Tao and others left, he pulled Hou Xiaoxi and ran over quietly, found that it was a pattern, and suddenly realized something, and hurriedly pulled Hou Xiaoxi into the forest.

Li Erhu decided to wait for the rabbit.

This time Li Erhu was really caught. Originally, as an intelligence officer, Sun Xiaoping should be cautious in his words and deeds, but unfortunately he did not undergo systematic training and was temporarily pulled into battle, so his vigilance was not high.

Li Erhu looks rude on the outside, but he is actually a scheming person. Seeing Sun Xiaoping turn to the west of the village, Li Erhu felt that something was wrong, slapped Hou Xiaoxi, and the two of them followed behind Sun Xiaoping by the forest.

Sun Xiaoping returned to the door, looked back vigilantly, didn't notice anyone behind him, and raised his hand to knock on the door. The knock on the door was three long and two short, and soon the door creaked open, poking out Lao Lin's head.

"Coming back so soon?"

Sun Xiaoping didn't say anything, turned sideways into the door, latched his body back, and pulled Lao Lin into the room.

"I saw a few people lingering in that pattern today."

Lao Lin asked, "Male or female?" ”

"It's all men."

Lao Lin was a little disappointed, and said half-loudly: "I'll just say that you are doing this too much!" If the black fox comes, he will definitely take the initiative to leave a mark, and if you do this, he will not dare to show up. It turned out that Sun Xiaoping saw the troupe entering the village, remembered Liu Qishan's words, and dived under the secluded mountain to make a mark. He originally wanted to polyphonize the inner line of the opera troupe, but who knew that a day had passed, and nothing was found.

Sun Xiaoping said unconvinced: "I don't want to complete the task assigned by the captain as soon as possible."

Lao Lin glared at Sun Xiaoping, "There were people walking around the front and back of the house just now." ”

Sun Xiaoping was taken aback: "What person? ”

"Listen to the accent is local, come and ask for water."

Sun Xiaoping asked nervously, "Have you opened the door?" ”

Lao Lin glanced at Sun Xiaoping: "Am I so stupid?" ”

Sun Xiaoping sighed: "Begging for water?" The weather is so hot, people from neighboring villages are in a hurry, maybe they are really thirsty. ”

Sun Xiaoping was very arrogant, and Lao Lin had no evidence for a while, so he said helplessly: "You are smart, now it's okay, you haven't found anything." ”

Sun Xiaoping said: "I wonder, we took the initiative to summon him, why did he still hide it!" ”

"The black fox is hiding in the cottage, it is taking a big risk, how can he show his face casually!"

"What now?"

Lao Lin didn't answer, but asked, "How long will the troupe perform here?" ”

Sun Xiaoping shook his head: "I don't know either." Anyway, it's a benefit performance, and you can perform as long as you want. ”

Sun Xiaoping was anxious for quick success and didn't want to be self-defeating, so Lao Lin was angry.

"Forget it, I'll report this situation to the captain and see what instructions the captain has."

After Lao Lin finished speaking, he got up and opened the back door, glanced at the back mountain, turned back to Sun Xiaoping and said, "Now you just pretend to watch the play honestly, don't make any extraneous branches!" ”

Sun Xiaoping smiled.

Lao Lin saw that there was no one nearby, put on an old straw hat, and slipped into the back mountain.

In the bushes, two pairs of eyes were fixed on the old forest.

Seeing Lao Lin walking away, Hou Xiaoxi wanted to get up, and Li Erhu held it down.

It turned out that Li Erhu came over and attached it to the wall, and the words inside were heard clearly, and when he heard that Lao Lin was going back to the city, Li Erhu hurriedly dragged Hou Xiaoxi into the forest. Fortunately, the bushes were dense, and Lao Lin almost passed by Li Erhu, but he didn't find them.

Li Erhu pulled Hou Xiaoxi to the middle of the forest and walked along the ridge towards the threshing floor. Hou Xiaoxi said: "Let them go? ”

Li Erhu said: "I have to report this matter to the captain and listen to the captain." ”

Hou Xiaoxi had nothing to say.
