Chapter 40: A Chance Encounter in the Mountains

"Village Chief, why do you say they are so close to us?" Mu Ergou looked at the few people in Yanjia Village who were following behind his group and asked with some puzzlement.

Mu Chenghu is also a little strange, his group of people are here to hunt, they are here to pick wild vegetables, can they really pick wild vegetables when they go so fast?

Wei Ran listened to the movement in the distance, turned around and said to Mu Chenghu and the others, "Uncle, you get out of the way, I'm afraid there is a big guy in front." ”

Mu Chenghu held his breath and lifted the machete in his hand.

Several people in Yanjia Village saw Mu Chenghu and the others lifting the machetes in their hands, and thought that they were ready to do something to their own people.

A few people in Yanjia Village picked up the guy in their hands and were about to run when they heard a "bang", and these people didn't even dare to run.

Wei Ran clapped his hands and said, "This luck is good today, this thing has to be a hundred catties." ”

Mu Ergou hurriedly stepped forward to resist the porcupine on the ground.

When a few people in Yanjia Village saw it, they instantly relaxed.

Next, Mu Chenghu and his people hunted a few hares and pheasants, and the harvest was not bad.

"Third child, I have something to look for you when you come here." As soon as Mu Chenghu returned to the camp, Mu Chengru immediately greeted him.

As soon as he entered the tent, Mu Chenghu hurriedly asked, "Second brother, are you in such a hurry to find me, what happened?" ”

Mu Chengru glanced around and found that there was no one around, and immediately said, "Third child, I'm afraid this place is not safe, I found a wheel mark in the woods over there." ”

"It can't be that there are people living around here!" Mu Chenghu felt that this was not a big deal.

"It's normal to have wheel prints, but the problem is that these wheel prints are covered up, and I'm afraid that the things transported are not light." Mu Chengru continued.

"This is indeed a problem, so I'll call Uncle Wei, and we'll go and see it together." Mu Chenghu said with a frown.

As soon as Mu Chenghu and the three of them left the camp, several women from Yanjia Village followed.

Mu Chenghu looked at a few women who followed and thought to himself what was going on today, why did the people of Yanjia Village always follow behind his group.

Mu Chengru frowned and said, "Third brother, when we came over just now, there were also a few people from Yanjia Village behind us, they wouldn't be following us!" ”

"Leave them alone, let's keep walking." Mu Chenghu thought that they couldn't turn over a few waves, and Uncle Wei still came together.

While a few people were talking, they arrived at the place where Mu Chengru said.

Wei Ran squatted on the ground and looked at it carefully and said, "Uncle, this is indeed the mark of the car loaded with heavy objects, and this thing was transported from the inside out." ”

"This should not be publicized beforehand, so as not to cause unnecessary panic. It's just that in the past two days, Uncle Wei has to keep an eye on it here. Mu Chenghu said in a low voice.

At night, Mu Chenghu looked at the sleeping people and thought to himself that the big guy was basically out of ammunition now, and he really couldn't afford anything, I hope the big guy can survive this catastrophe safely.

Deep in the mountains, another group of people was also anxious.

"Big brother, why haven't anyone come in to pull goods for so long this time." At the dinner table, someone finally couldn't bear his anger and asked.

"Big brother, I think they may not come back, after all, they have been delayed for more than a month, or we should escape!" Jia Er thought about his old mother who had been sick in bed for a long time at home, and he couldn't take care of anything else.

"Jia Er, you want to kill us, don't you, didn't you see the ending of the people who fled before?" Jiawu said angrily.

"Give me all the quiet, I'll take a few people out tomorrow, and you all work for me." The person who is called Big Brother seems to have made a lot of determination.

The next day, Mu Chenghu sent people out as usual.

Mu Chenghu looked at the people who were following behind him, and not only guessed whether the people of Yanjia Village were afraid that his group would attack them.

While speaking, several people arrived at the place where Mu Chengru found the wheel print yesterday.

Mu Chenghu looked around, didn't find anything abnormal, and began to investigate carefully.

Mu Chenghu looked at the cautious Mu Chengru, and complained in his heart that he didn't know when this mark was left, if he could find anything, it would be a miracle.

"Hey, how can this thing exist in this place?" Mu Chengru picked up an iron lump in the grass beside the road.

Hearing this, Mu Chenghu hurriedly walked up to take a look.

Mu Chenghu looked at the iron lump in Mu Chengru's hand, and suddenly had a bold guess whether there would be a mining base in the deep mountains.

"Third child, I'm afraid there are people mining in this place, let's leave as soon as possible, those who can mine are not ordinary people." Mu Chengru's thoughts coincide with Mu Chenghu's thoughts.

Just as the two were about to discuss what to do next, Wei Ran came over and said to the two, "Someone is coming over there, it shouldn't be someone from our team." ”

"How many are there?" Mu Chenghu immediately asked.

"Not much, just two or three people."

As soon as the two Mu Chenghu brothers heard this, their panicked hearts immediately relaxed.

"Uncle Wei, if there is anything wrong with someone, do it immediately." For the safety of the entire team, Mu Chenghu made a murderous intention.

Mu Chenghu called a few people around him and hid in the woods next to him.

"Big brother, how do I feel that something is not quite right around here." Jia Er keenly sensed that there were a lot of people nearby.

"It's not going to be adults, they're coming! Except for the adults who will come to this place, what are other people doing in this deep mountain and old forest. "Jia Wu thinks Jia Er is making a fuss.

"Alright, everyone pay attention." After all, Koji's instincts haven't gone wrong so far.

After listening to Jia Yi's words, Jia Wu closed his mouth unwillingly.

Suddenly, a flock of birds flew out of the woods, startling the three people who spoke.

"Are these idiots running out to die? Uncle Wei is ready to save people. Mu Chenghu said angrily.

Uncle Wei was about to start when he saw a few people from Yanjia Village crying with someone coming.

Seeing a group of big men crying together, not only Uncle Wei didn't know, but even the two behind him were confused.

After half a salary, a group of people finished collecting their tears and walked towards Mu Chenghu and the others.

"Village Chief Mu, this is our village who was arrested and sent to serve in forced labor." A young student in Yanjia Village said.

On the way back to the camp, Mu Chenghu finally understood why these people appeared here.

It turned out that the people in Yanjia Village who were arrested for forced labor were all digging iron ore in the deep mountains, but it was probably because of the war that no one had entered the mountains to pull the mines for more than a month. In this place, they have no names, only each other's code names.

Mu Chenghu was a little speechless, this mining is not a high-level secret, and the code name is actually used internally.

In fact, what Mu Chenghu didn't know was Zheng Guo, which was just for the convenience of high-level management.

After a few people returned to the camp, Yanjia Village immediately became lively.

At noon, the old village chief found Mu Chenghu and said to him, "Mu Laodi, you go with us to Qisheng and stay with them for a few days!" ”

As soon as Mu Chenghu heard this, he knew that the old village chief didn't want his group of people to follow.

Although Mu Chenghu didn't want to go, there were things that his group of people needed, so he had to go.

Mu Chenghu thought for a while and said, "Brother Yan, the people from our village will leave after staying for a few days, after all, we still have to go to the previous place." ”

When the old village chief heard Mu Chenghu's previous words, he was still thinking about how to let them leave by himself, but Mu Chenghu's subsequent words instantly made him let go of the big stone in his heart.

Mu Chenghu looked at the old village chief's changing face, and his heart was mixed.
