After a long time, Lin Zhumin added firewood to the bonfire. He lit a cigarette and smoked it casually. In the darkness around the campfire, there are green and crystal bright spots flashing in all directions from time to time. He felt a little dazed, and after a while, fatigue came up, and he leaned against the wooden house, lowered his head and took a nap.

He was so tired that he slept to death. In the surrounding jungle, from time to time, there were bursts of distant and terrifying wolf howls. The roaring sound of Lin Haitao is mixed with the sound of startled birds from time to time.

A round jungle grass rat, sneaking out of a crack in the rocks next to the hut, thought of enjoying the scraps of human food by the campfire. A shadow descended from it, and the sturdy night owl swept across the ground in front of the hut, pinpointing the grass rat in its mouth, its wings fluttering, and flew back into the tree to feast.

I don't know how long it took, but the bonfire was almost burned out, and the flames were bright and dark, and there were many shadows in front of the wooden house. Suddenly, two black figures emerged from the darkness, like ghosts, quietly approaching the wooden house. The muzzles of the two black holes also slowly approached "Lin Zhumin".

The black shadow walking in front suddenly felt something strange and flicked his helmet with the muzzle of his gun. Sure enough, the helmet "clanged" and tilted to the side. He knew that he had been fooled, and immediately wanted to turn the gun, but it was too late. Four flashlights lit up at the same time, and the muzzles of the four black holes surrounded them at the core.

Lin Zhumin stepped forward, seized the guns of the two men, tied them up a few times, and carefully examined the bodies of the two men. The two of them were wearing the small green hats that the Annamites often wore on the outside of their clothes, with animal skins around their waists, much like two Annamite hunters who crossed the border to hunt.

From their waists, they found a M military dagger and a Chinese five or six military stab, which at least showed that the "hunter" had served in the military. All the people in Annam are soldiers, and most of the men in the prime of life are in the service. Only after passing the age or being injured can one be discharged from military service and return to one's hometown. Or transferred to local departments, militias, and continued to serve.

Lin Zhumin began to interrogate: "B?ncóph?ilàng?? iVi?tNam？ (Are you from Annam?) ）“Vang.Chúngt?ilành?ngk?? is?n.B?ncóph?ilàTrungQu?c？ (We are Annam hunters, are you Chinese?) ）“Làmth?nào?? b?nbi?tchúngt?ilàTrungQu?c？ B?nchi?n?? unó？ (How do you know about the Tao?) Have you ever fought? ）“Kh?ngcòn. Làb?nnh?nchúngt?ibiêngi?i.Anhb?chúngt?i.Chúngt?ilàdanth?? ng.” (Nope.) You Chinese are invading us on the border. Let us go, we're just ordinary people. Liu Guodong checked their foreheads and fingers, "Anhkh?ngph?ilàth?? ngdan. Anhlàai？ (You're not civilians, who are you?) ）“Chúngtalành?ngk?? is?n!” (We really are hunters!) Yu Songyuan suddenly and casually chanted in Chinese, "Borrow a hint of autumn breeze and cool it, and put on a light and elegant plain clothes!" When the chanting was finished, it was cold. The two "hunters" did not have the slightest resonance with his poetic elegance.

Liu Guodong and Lin Zhumin tied them to a tree next to the wooden house and came to the campfire. Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao sat by the campfire, smoking thoughtfully while adding firewood to it.

We've reached the point where you cross the border, where is the guide? If these two were guides, everything would make sense. But what are they not doing with the code? Could it be that the real guide has already been killed by them? These two are Annan 678 Corps or border agents?!

Liu Guodong whispered, "If you can't say anything about the joint, it means that they are not guides." They say they're Annam hunters, but they've at least been soldiers, and you see, they're not panicking at all......"

"What does that mean?" Lin Tao asked.

"It shows that they have long recognized us as the Chinese army, at least they know that the Chinese army does not kill prisoners. Moreover, I have a bad premonition, and from their temperament, I think that they are retired soldiers, if not active military personnel, but also retired military personnel who have just been discharged from the army. Lin Zhumin said.

"Why don't you panic? We checked for kilometers around, and there were no more of them. Lin Tao was puzzled.

"I don't understand. But you have to suspect that they are Annan agents and unreliable, they have nothing but guns, knives and bullets to prove their identity. It's also thirty or forty kilometers away from the nearest Lancang cargang, and it's hundreds of miles away from the nearest Annan garrison, and it's all primeval rainforest, what are the agents doing here? Liu Guodong added.

"There is a question I don't understand, we are wearing the clothes of the Annam Army, why can they recognize us as Chinese at once?" Yu Song was far from puzzled.

"He must have been a soldier and fought against us, and it is not difficult to recognize us from our height, temperament, etc." After Liu Guodong finished speaking, he felt a little far-fetched, so he said again, "We don't have time to screen, since we are not guides, for the sake of completing the task, these two people must not stay!" ”

Lin Tao and Lin Zhumin said in unison, "Agreed!" ”

Yu Songyuan threw some dry branches into the bonfire, and the flames quickly rose. He smoked silently, not saying a word. Not squeaking is actually acquiescence, Lin Tao and Lin Zhumin carried diving knives and walked towards the two people tied to the tree.

But just as they were about to start, the short hunter who had not spoken all this time spoke in Chinese, "'Drink a cup of tea before the rain and stroll under the kapok tree.'" 'We are the guides, always here waiting for you!' ”

"What did you do earlier, Lao Tzu won't let go...... What is wrong with the code? Lin Tao raised his hand and put it down, and it was only at this point that he said to the joint, what the hell is this.

"Ouch, you're so fucking tightly bound! Put me down first, and I'll tell you why! We are the staff of the central office of the Naga company in Annam, and the company arranged for us to wait here for the arrival of several 'hunters'. ”

"What are you talking about, Naga Lao Tzu doesn't understand, Lao Tzu wants to kill people the most now! Say, who's going to hit the road first? ”

"You'll regret it, the floor of the wooden house is made of sticks. Lift the floor shop, there is a stone crack underneath, there is something in it, you open it and look at it, you will understand! ”

Hearing this, Liu Guodong entered the wooden house, lifted the floor, and really took out a package from a small hole. When I opened it, I saw that among the bunch of things inside, it was indeed a badge of a sharp knife. Is it really your own person? Lin Tao and Lin Zhumin put the two down, and everyone shook hands tightly.

"It's so dangerous, in this environment, aren't you afraid that we will kill people directly?" Lin Tao said dissatisfied.

"How can you not be afraid, but there is no way. Two days ago, there was also a patrol team of border agents from Annam who went hunting in the primeval forests of Lancang. We thought it was you, but we were almost exposed. I have pointed ears, and I have heard everything you have just discussed, and it is indeed you. My code name is the Governor, and his code name is Coyote, so I can't tell you my name. ”

"How strange are you, that such a dangerous test is needless! Is this the kind of one-line contact between your groups? Liu Guodong introduced the team of four to the coyote and the governor, of course, all of them were codenames.

The coyote said, "Ghost, we've been taking control of this place for a week. The various teams stationed in Annan had accidents one after another, and Mr. Xu had to be more cautious. We are ordered by our superiors to clear the way for you, cooperate with you to enter the stronghold of Duguo Mountain from here, and infiltrate Donghe City. Cooperate with you in carrying out tasks and assisting you in your retreat, which will be done by different teams! ”

"You served in the Annam Army?" Yu Songyuan asked.

"Yes. We have all just been wounded and retired from the Khmer battlefield. ”

"It's almost strange to be cautious, if we 'click' it off, won't it affect the tasks ahead?!" Lin Tao asked puzzled.

The Governor said, "It was done out of necessity." The personnel of the special forces of the 678 Corps are all over the Lancang, and the special patrol of the Annam border is often seen everywhere on the border, so we cannot but be cautious. Besides, didn't we match the code in time before the 'click'! ”

When they met their comrades-in-arms in a foreign country, the members of the team were very excited.

For these comrades-in-arms who have been fighting outside for many years, their feelings are particularly complicated. Lin Tao and Lin Zhumin took out a large piece of crocodile jerky, and the coyote pulled out a stone from a stone cave next to it, and there was a small vat of rice wine hidden in the small hole, about two or three catties. The mud seal was opened, a few bamboo pipes were cut and inserted, and everyone drank together.

The Governor said, "This is what we have carried into the mountains from our homes dozens of kilometers away to greet you. ”

The Sharp Knife Brigade has strict rules, and the mellow aroma of alcohol will expose the target during the mission of the tactical team, so it is strictly forbidden to drink alcohol. But this is an inaccessible primeval forest, and the coyotes and governors naturally know this rule. However, when they were finally able to fight with their "family", they would rather disobey the rules and work hard to carry a small vat of rice wine to catch the wind for the expeditionary team.

Yu Song was far from being a rigid person, and at this time he was in the primeval rainforest, he didn't want to brush off the good intentions of the governor and Tu Ruthless, and several people drank happily. "You just said 'home'? Are you all married? Lin Tao asked.

"Yes. Our ancestors are all overseas Chinese, and they came to Jiaozhi at the end of the Ming Dynasty. ”

It turned out that when Annam persecuted overseas Chinese two years ago, both the governor and the coyote survived and were not strongly impacted. However, the 1.2 million overseas Chinese are miserable, shocking, and miserable! According to Naga's instructions, they opened a hostel and a shop in Donghe City, the capital of Quang Tri Province. And they all got married in Donghe, and the women were all local girls in Donghe, very hidden and safe.

"Is your lover also ours? It won't be just a lover, right? ”

"No, it's not easy to hide, it's not safe, they're just ordinary Annan women. Hehe, of course there won't be just one, but the official one. ”

The governor said, "My daughter-in-law is very good, so I will marry one." The coyote is so strong that the five waiters in the hostel all have a leg with him! ”

"Fuck off, don't talk nonsense!" The coyote argued, "There is a shortage of men in Donghe, and girls can't get married, so they are all old at home." I see them pitiful, so I take care of them occasionally......"

At night, everyone slept very soundly. At half past five o'clock in the morning, when it was still dark, the governor woke them up, had breakfast, and set out on their journey. With the governor and the coyote to guide the way, the rest of the journey was much simpler, dozens of kilometers of mountain roads, they walked for a day and a half of a night.

After crossing the border between the two countries, the team entered the rolling mountains of Duguo in the evening.
