Chapter 69: Tracking

Zhong Yeyang, who was sitting in the car, listened to the fierce gunfire outside, then looked at the soldiers and asked with a smile: "Aren't you going down to help?" ”

"Be honest, it's not your turn to speak!" A warrior shouted at him.

Zhong Yeyang smiled and said, "If you don't go down to help, they will all die here!" ”

The remaining four warriors looked at each other, and one of them said to the warrior sitting across from him, "Why don't we leave two people to watch this guy, and you and I go down and help?" ”

The soldier thought for a moment and nodded, and the two got up and got out of the car.

Xiao Jianbai looked at the place where the gun rang out on the opposite side, and he wanted to see who was here to fight this sniper.

Suddenly, several black shadows crossed the air, and Xiao Jianbai hurriedly shouted: "Get down, lie down, they have **"

Before Xiao Jianbai's voice landed, three or four ** fell from the sky, and the explosion of "boom boom" sounded around the prisoner car, Xiao Jianbai lay on the ground, and the mud mixed with the melting snow water from the explosion poured down, almost burying him.

When the explosion passed, Xiao Jianbai slowly got out of the slush and looked around and shouted, "Are you all right?" ”

After shouting a few times, a few soldiers replied, "Here we are!" ”

Xiao Jianbai only found out at this time that the prisoner car was overturned on the side of the road, and the rear door was open, Xiao Jianbai was nervous for a while, and hurriedly ran over, when he saw that the two soldiers had fallen in the car, and Zhong Yeyang had long since disappeared, Xiao Jianbai's mind was blank in an instant.

Several soldiers ran over and saw that there were only two sacrificed soldiers in the car, Zhong Yeyang didn't know where to go, and they couldn't help but be stunned.

Xiao Jianbai turned around and looked at the remaining soldiers and said, "You guys hurry up and go back and report to the director, and I'll go after Zhong Yeyang!" ”

The soldiers were stunned when they heard this, looked at Xiao Jianbai and asked, "Section Chief Xiao, where are you going to chase it?" This vast mountain, the overwhelming snow, there is no trace at all, besides, if you enter the mountain like this alone, even if you find Zhong Yeyang, it will be difficult for you to bring him back, and you will have to freeze to death if you are not tired to death in the ice and snow! ”

Xiao Jianbai looked at the soldiers and said: "Don't worry, it's two days if it's fast, three days if it's slow, I'll definitely come back, and I'll definitely bring Zhong Yeyang back, you go back and talk to Director Zhao and Deputy Director Lian, don't worry about me!" ”

Several soldiers looked at each other, and one of them said, "Why don't we go with you, Section Chief Xiao?" ”

Xiao Jianbai shook his head: "There are many people with big goals, and it is easy to expose their whereabouts, not only can they not find Zhong Yeyang, but they also drag you all down, do what I say, you should hurry up and go back and settle the sacrificed comrades!" ”

The soldiers knew that no matter how much persuasion was useless, Xiao Jianbai had already made up his mind, there was no way, several soldiers could only carry the sacrificed comrades into the car as he said, and watched Xiao Jianbai chase all the way down the footprints left on the snow.

Zhao Changqing and Lian Weitao were anxiously waiting in the office, and there was no phone call from Xiangfang, which made Zhao Changqing even more anxious.

Just when the two were anxiously waiting, someone shouted a report, Zhao Changqing chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly shouted: "Come in"

A soldier pushed the door in, and Zhao Changqing was stunned when he saw him, and hurriedly asked, "Something happened?" ”

The warrior nodded: "Report to the director, we encountered an ambush on the way to Xiangfang, and Zhong Yeyang ran away!" ”

"Where's Section Chief Xiao?" Zhao Changqing hurriedly asked.

"Section Chief Xiao, he went into the mountain by himself and said that he wanted to arrest Zhong Yeyang back!" The warrior replied.

"It's just nonsense, nonsense, this snowy mountain, he goes alone, isn't this going to die? Why did you just leave him alone? Zhao Changqing shouted at the top of his voice.

The soldier lowered his head and did not speak, Lian Weitao patted Zhao Changqing and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, you carefully explain the specific situation!" ”

The soldier looked at Lian Weitao and told the story of the ambush, Lian Weitao frowned after listening, Zhao Changqing looked at him and said: "Send someone out immediately, follow Jianbai's footprints"

Lian Weitao thought for a while and said: "I know Jian Bai, if he is not completely sure, he will not be brutal, if we send people out now, there are too many people, but it will bring him trouble and danger!" ”

"And what do you think?"

"Inform Yan Yuqiao," Lian Weitao said.

Zhao Changqing glared: "Tell Yuqiao?" Are you crazy? If Yuqiao knew, he wouldn't have to die in a hurry? ”

"This kind of thing can't be hidden, you have to tell her and listen to her opinion," Lian Weitao said.

"No need to be notified, I already know!" Yan Yuqiao said and stepped into the door, Zhao Changqing looked at Yan Yuqiao who entered the door and was about to speak, but Yan Yuqiao said: "I'll go, I'll go to him!" ”

"You're going? What are you kidding, you are a girl who has gone into the mountains by yourself, and I am even more worried! Zhao Changqing looked at her and said.

"I'll go with her!" Lian Weitao stood up and said.

Zhao Changqing looked at Lian Weitao: "Old Lian, ...... you?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll go with Yuqiao, I promise that there is no problem, we will definitely find Jianbai and assist him in arresting Zhong Yeyang back, once Zhong Yeyang runs back to Changchun or meets Leng Xiaochen, then we will be passive, so, Binggui is fast, we will set off now!" Lian Weitao said very firmly.

Zhao Changqing stood up and looked at the two of them and said, "Okay, bring your weapons and equipment, and I'll send someone to send you out of the city!" ”

Xiao Jianbai chased all the way down according to the footprints left on the snow. After walking for about half an hour, the footprints on the snow gradually blurred, and there were no footprints at all beyond that.

Xiao Jianbai had to stop and squat on the snow to take a closer look, he found that the footprints on the section of the road he walked on just now were Zhong Yeyang's, but when he arrived here, the footprints disappeared, not that Zhong Yeyang did not leave footprints, but that the footprints were swept away. Xiao Jianbai stretched out his hand and gently brushed off the upper layer on the snow, and he could vaguely see those marks that were one foot deep and one foot shallow, but the footprints were very messy, as if there were a lot more, and it could be concluded that these were no longer a person's footprints.

Xiao Jianbai straightened up and looked at the sky, and then looked at the watch on his wrist, it was already close to noon.

There is heavy snow at the foot of the road, the front is a dense forest and deep mountains, there is no village in front, there is no store in the back, although the sun is sunny in the sky, but in this big mountain, a gust of mountain wind blows, rolling up the snow on the ground and hitting the face still makes people feel chilling to the bone.

Xiao Jianbai looked ahead, there was a mountain col nearly a mile away from him, and after that mountain pass, he really entered the depths of the mountain completely.

Xiao Jianbai quickened his pace and walked towards the mountain col. When he came to the mountain col, the wind was a little lighter, and Xiao Jianbai was also sweating in this hurry. He found a rock in the recess of the col and sat down, intending to catch his breath.

Xiao Jianbai leaned against a birch tree, sat on the rock, took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth, and then looked for a lighter in his pocket, at this time, a voice came from behind him: "Grandpa, why are those two people tied up that person?" ”

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't ask too much, you girl just talks a lot!"

Xiao Jianbai immediately got up and hid behind a tree, poked out half of his head, and looked in the direction of the sound.

He saw an old man and a young man coming from the front, the old man was holding a shotgun in his hand, and the younger one was a teenage girl, her face was red from the cold, and she followed the old man and said, "Grandpa, are they beards?" ”

The old man didn't answer, just urged the girl to go quickly, Xiao Jianbai took the cigarette off his mouth and put it back in his pocket, stood from behind the tree to the front, blocking the way of the old and the young.

The old man who was walking in front suddenly looked up and saw Xiao Jianbai standing there, startled him, and the old man hurriedly raised his gun and shouted, "What person?" The little girl was so frightened that she hid behind the old man.

"Don't be afraid, old man, I'm not a bad person, I'm just passing by, I'm lost, stop here to rest, just happened to meet you guys!"

The old man looked Xiao Jianbai up and down and said, "You're from the city, right?" Look you're still with you, you're not passing through here, you're here to find someone, right? ”

Xiao Jianbai smiled slightly: "Old man, you are right, I am here to find someone, I was just about to ask if you have ever seen a tall man, passing through here?" ”

"Grandpa......" The little girl behind the old man clutched the hem of the old man's clothes and called grandpa.

The old man looked back at her and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Qing'er is good!" ”

Xiao Jianbai looked at the girl and then at the old man, the old man stared at Xiao Jianbai and said, "Who are you?" How can you be alone in this mountain? ”

"I'm from the city, I'm from Harbin, I'm working in the new government, I'm here to find a prisoner who escaped, and I'm chasing all the way to here, and I'm gone!" Xiao Jianbai replied.

The old man nodded slightly: "Oh, I don't look like you are a mountain person, with fine skin and tender meat, but the person you said has been seen by our grandfather, just down the hill in front, we just hit there, and met two people who tied a person with a rope!" That person seems to have been caught in someone's trap, and I see that blood is still oozing out of his leg! ”

"Clips?" Xiao Jianbai asked.

"Don't you know what this place is? This is called Mao'er Ridge, and a group of people have recently come here, probably dozens of people, just on the ridge not far ahead. I am the one in the west who catches the mountain, often come here to hunt, this is my granddaughter, today we came to hunt in the morning, but did not catch anything, when I came back, I met two people with a rope tied up a person to the ridge! That clip, I guess they set it up, specifically to deal with roe deer, wild boar, may have been stepped on by that person, that's why he was caught! After speaking, the old man turned around and pointed to the distance and said: "Out of this pass, follow this road and go forward, and you will arrive at the bottom of the ridge, there is a mountain road under the ridge, and then go along the mountain road to Mao'er Ridge!" I think that's where they go! ”

"And who are these people you're talking about? They won't be ......? ”

"I can't say it, but since they entered Maoerling Road, there is no disaster for the common people," said the old man.

Xiao Jianbai nodded and said, "Thank you, old man!" ”

The little girl who had been hiding behind the old man showed half of her head and grimaced at Xiao Jianbai.

The old man looked at Xiao Jianbai and said, "Young man, pay more attention, there are still many traps and clips they have set up in front of you, be careful!" ”

Xiao Jianbai nodded: "Thank you, old man!"

Watching the old man and the little girl walk away, Xiao Jianbai took out his gun again, checked it again, and then walked out of the col and continued to walk along the path under his feet.

In the afternoon, the weather began to become overcast, the sun was nowhere to be seen in the sky, and the wind in the mountains began to pick up. Xiao Jianbai wrapped all the wide scarves around his neck around his face, only revealing his two eyes, stepped up his steps, and hurried forward quickly.

Zhong Yeyang was tied up and pushed forward by two people, and the place where the clamp on his leg was still oozing blood, and the pain in his heart made him sweat. The mouth was stuffed with strips of cloth, and he couldn't shout anymore, so he could only stare at the two people, and staggered to the mountain.

Passing through a dense forest, there is the foot of Mao'er Ridge in front of you. The two of them pushed him and chatted as they walked: "I said, this kid is really horizontal, fuck, you said that if you meet the eldest lady in a while, how will the eldest lady clean him up?" He said that he was from Harbin, didn't our eldest lady say that as long as he came from Harbin, he brought it all back? ”

"Let's go back and talk about it, I guess the eldest lady wants to inquire about the movement in Harbin, let's listen to what this guy has to say first" The other replied.
