Chapter 27: Wounds
In the tunnels, smoke fills the air.
The dust was flying, and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke choked Su Wenxing to cough non-stop.
He couldn't see the path ahead clearly, so he could only hold his breath and crawl quickly on all fours, climbing more than a thousand meters.
I can't hold it anymore!
He sat down, leaned against the pit wall, and gasped.
The air was still muddy, but it was much better than just now, at least I was able to breathe.
I took out the cigarette case, and there was only one cigarette left in it. His hands trembled, he struck a match and lit his cigarette.
The spicy nicotine rushes into the lungs, causing another violent cough.
It was only then that he felt a sharp pain in his shoulders and legs, which made him gasp.
Reached out and touched it on the shoulder, it was wet.
It seems that he was shot when he was suppressed just now......
The bullet pierced through the shoulder, but fortunately it did not hurt the bone. Su Wenxing took out a small bottle from his pocket, sprinkled Yunnan Baiyao on it, and then tore two strips of cloth from his clothes, one on his shoulder and one on his leg, so as not to bleed too quickly. Taking another puff of his cigarette, Su Wenxing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. I don't know if Hahona found out about the chaos just now.
If she's smart enough, I'm sure she'll take advantage of the chaos to escape.
Su Wenxing extinguished the cigarette butt and crawled down the tunnel again.
It was pitch black and you couldn't see anything. Fortunately, the path of this tunnel is not very complicated, as long as you follow the tunnel, you can return to the hotel. The 38 big cover had been lost, and there was only one bayonet left in his hand. Su Wenxing held a bayonet in one hand, used his hands and feet together, and crawled along the tunnel with difficulty.
Body, feeling weak.
Sweat ran down his cheeks and dripped down the ground.
Su Wenxing didn't know how long he had climbed, but he felt that the tunnel space seemed to be much more spacious, and he knew that he was about to climb to the end.
Lying on the ground, he took the pocket watch from his bosom, and then struck another match.
It's almost two o'clock at half past one!
More than four hours have passed since Xiao Jinzi escaped from Qi County, and I don't know if he has arrived in Ji County.
It's freezing outside, and it's not so easy to walk a hundred miles.
Su Wenxing coughed violently again, he quickly covered his mouth, lay on the ground, and didn't move.
Wait!
Something seems to be wrong.
I don't know how long it has been, Su Wenxing suddenly opened his eyes.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Tongfu Hotel, 2nd floor.
In the direction of the telegraph office, gunfire was heard, accompanied by explosions.
Zhang Shun slipped in a guest room, looking up at the hole in the roof, his face showing a strange look.
"Come over and help."
He called out to the bandits standing in the doorway, and the two of them brought a table over, and then put a chair on it. Zhang Shun jumped onto the table, then stepped on the chair and stuck his head into the hole.
It's pitch black, it's cold.
"Fire!"
He bowed his head and shouted, and immediately one of the bandits handed the torch up.
Zhang Shunyu held the torch, probed into the hole again, and shone twice in it.
The heavy eaves mezzanine is obviously specially designed. From the outside, the height of the mezzanine is only twenty or thirty centimeters, but there is something else inside. This mezzanine, about one and a half meters high, is squatted down, and there is plenty of space. This is due to the fact that the roof of the guest room was deliberately lowered during the construction.
In this way, the mezzanine is of little use when viewed from the outside.
But in reality?
It can be used as a hiding place in times of crisis, and there is enough space.
However, this mezzanine scruples have never been used, so the floor is full of dust.
Zhang Shunyu shone it with a torch, his eyes suddenly fell on the floor, and a weird smile appeared on his face.
There are a lot of footprints on the floor!
But a discerning person can make out at a glance that they are the footprints of two people.
One footprint is big, and the other footprint is small......
Zhang Shunyu was about to get in, when he suddenly heard someone shouting below: "Brother Shunyu, the old goose is looking for you, let you go downstairs and have a look." ”
"What's the matter?"
Zhang Shunyo bent down and jumped out of his chair.
"I don't know, he just said to let you go down."
"Good!"
Lao Goose is a leader under Zhang Baoxin, and he has a good relationship with Zhang Shunyu.
He was in such a hurry to find something, he must have found something.
Zhang Shunyu didn't think too much, jumped off the table, hurried downstairs, and found the old goose outside the back door of the back kitchen.
"Old goose, what's the matter?"
The old goose is not tall, but it is very strong.
He took a cigarette in his mouth and walked to Zhang Shunyo's side.
"One gun missing."
"Huh?"
"Didn't I collect the bodies of the brothers, and found that a gun was missing."
"Are you sure?"
"Nonsense, five brothers died just now, and when the bodies were collected, there were only four guns here, one missing."
"You mean, there's still someone here?"
"I don't know if there's anybody, I just know, there's one gun missing."
The old goose stretched out his hand, crossed his fingers and said, "Five people, there should be five guns." Now, one, two, three, four...... There were only four guns. Lao Tzu can't read, but he can still count. Five minus four, one gun less. ”
I can hear that the old goose is angry.
Zhang Shunyu knew where the old goose's anger came from.
To put it bluntly, he is dissatisfied with Zhang Baoxin...... Everyone is a bandit, robbing a house or something, that's their duty. But now, Zhang Baoxin has led people to attack the county seat, and if he doesn't get it right, he will anger the government.
Don't think that the national army really can't beat them.
The one-on-one national army is not an opponent, but the national army is more than 500 people.
In the past, everyone's well water did not interfere with river water, and if you give me face, I will not be difficult for you. To put it bluntly, whether it is Hebei Province or the Henan Provincial Government, the attitude towards Zhang Baoxin and others is to turn a blind eye.
There is such a group of bandits, so they can ask the Nanjing government for guns, money, and people.
In short, you don't overdo it, and I don't care about you.
But now it's different!
You attacked the county seat, and you slapped the Hebei Provincial Government in the face nakedly.
In this case, the Hebei Provincial Commissioner's meeting will not be honorable, and Henan Provincial Chairman Liu Zhi will also be annoyed and angry. When the national army cracks down on bandits on a large scale, how can Zhang Baoxin, the 500 people, resist it?
That's it.
You entered the county seat, and you were not allowed to kill people or disturb the people.
Do you fucking think you're a rebel? If you don't kill people and rob things, what kind of bandit are you?
That is, Zhang Baoxin's prestige is high, and everyone is psychologically dissatisfied, but they dare not say it.
Now, dead man!
And a lot of people died, adding up to dozens.
The old goose is naturally uncomfortable in his heart, and it is reasonable to speak with anger.
Zhang Shunyu patted the old goose and said softly: "Old goose, I understand you!"
However, I believe that the outside staff will not mess around...... Think about it over the years, when have you ever made a loss-making deal with us? Don't worry, the staff must be very clear in their hearts, if there is anything, wait to return to the mountain, after returning to the mountain, the staff will definitely give you an explanation, you can rest assured. ”
After these words, the old goose was finally in a better mood.
"Let's hope, don't die so many people and get nothing.
I am not angry with anything else, but I am afraid that after returning to the mountain, the brothers will not be happy, and it will be difficult for them to do anything outside. ”
Zhang Shunyu smiled, and was about to be appeased again, when he saw a bandit rushing over.
"Brother Shunyu, Fifth Master...... The staff sent someone over and said that we should transfer some people to block the intersection. ”
"What's going on?"
"The idea is gone, the staff is angry, we must find someone."
"I'll go over, and you will take someone to guard here."
The old goose suddenly came to his senses, beckoned people and left.
"Hey, be careful."
Zhang Shunyu shouted at the old goose, and saw the old goose with his back to him and waved his hand.
"This old goose ......"
Zhang Shunyo shook his head with a smile, and shouted at the bandits around him: "Brothers, be in good spirits. ”
"Brother Shunyu, don't worry."
With Zhang Shun's order, the bandits left one after another.
In the backyard, it was empty and only Zhang Shunyu was left alone. He stood at the door of the back kitchen, lit a cigarette, and walked to the lobby.
Halfway through, Zhang Shunyu suddenly stopped.
He turned around and walked to the backyard again.
Standing next to several corpses in the back doorway, he looked left and right, leaking a thoughtful expression.
When the idea broke through just now, there were people everywhere, how could there be a missing gun? The people in the lobby are unlikely to come out and take the guns away.
That is, that gun......
A pair of triangular eyes scorched and shining, Zhang Shunyu stood in the backyard, looking around.
The gaze finally fell on the stable in the corner. Zhang Shunyo's eyes narrowed, revealing a weird smile.
