The three of them came to the depths of the woods, found a mound with relatively high terrain and a relatively wide field of vision, so as not to be taken advantage of by others to wrap dumplings, picked up a branch, and roughly drew the terrain of Qiucheng on the ground, because there was no detailed survey of Qiucheng in advance, so they could only draw the outline of Qiucheng that they saw on the mountain last night, and then take the north-south avenue as the central axis, Daiwang Lane and the alley that ran out today as a branch, Sufang Pavilion as the goal, and discussed how to steal our equipment from Sufang Pavilion tonight, Where do you have to go to ensure that you get out of the way?

This painting only found that we have too little information, and the right time and place and no one is on our side, it seems that there is no possibility of winning at all, first of all, all these plans are based on the fact that Brother Xiao Wu will go to Sufang Pavilion tonight, and secondly, no matter how many branch lines there are, there is only one main road in the end, since Brother Xiao Wu has concluded that we will go back tonight, we will definitely work the main road, and the three so-called secret whistles outside are the best proof.

There is another point, that is, physical strength, from the morning to the present, water and rice do not hit teeth, Yuanmei bought some rice crackers, rice cakes and other dry food, but there is no water, rice crackers to eat one or two bites are OK, eating too much is like chewing sand, swallowing the throat hurts, rice cakes are not daring to eat, once this thing chokes, it is impossible to spit out and swallow, and it will kill if it is not good.

In addition, they haven't slept a peaceful sleep these days, and they are already sleepy, and the three of them sit on the mound, yawning one by one, and their minds are already a lump of paste, and they haven't said a reason for discussing it for a long time. Everyone agreed, since I proposed it first, I came to guard the first shift, Yuanmei second, the second master, two hours per shift, the reason why the second master was arranged at the end, is to let him retain his physical strength, after all, if you can't steal the equipment tonight, you can only rob it, and then he will be the main force, although this was not said, but everyone knows it.

The two of them lay down on the ground at once, and in less than half a cigarette they were snoring, and I leaned against a tree with my sword in my hand, listening carefully to all the sounds around me.

The woods were too quiet, and after only leaning for a while, I couldn't help yawning, afraid that I would fall asleep, so I quickly got up, walked around, turned around, and walked to the edge of the forest, and happened to hear the secret sentinels outside chatting, vaguely listening as if talking about us, and couldn't help squatting in the grass, wanting to hear clearly.

The young man who scolded Xiao Liuzi before said: "Hey, I said Brother Luo, the more I think about it in the past few days, the more wrong it becomes, you say that those three people are really Jiangyang thieves?" Why don't I see it? If it's really like the telegram said that killing people doesn't blink, then how can Brother Xiao Wu stay up until dawn until we go to find him? It's one night, not to mention killing, chopping into stuffed buns, this time is enough to sell several drawers. ”

The one named Brother Luo replied: "Hey, can you kid not mention the buns, I just thought about dinner and asked Zhang Xiaosan to send the buns over, and I was thinking about what kind of stuffing to eat, this is good, my appetite is gone, but speaking of those three people, I don't think it looks like a Jiangyang thief, I heard that one of them is still a woman, and only from the skills of those two buddies jumping off the building and the use of guns, I doubt it." ”

When he said this, he suddenly stopped, I thought I had been discovered, and quickly lowered my body, peeked out, only to see him gesture with a pistol in front of his chest, and stretched out two fingers, gently pressed on his shoulder, and looked at the two young people opposite for a moment, and then suddenly startled, one of them suddenly shouted: "Soldier?" ”

"Hey, that's not what I said. ”

"Hey, cough, no, I didn't mean that, you look at you, that, I said, how can you tell? ”

"If it's really a Jiangyang thief, how can he shoot in the sky at the critical moment of escaping?" Don't say it's an outlaw, it's just you, that pass, do you say you are fighting to the sky, or to people? Besides, it should be the first time they have been to Autumn City, and what does it mean that they can get out safely in such an urgent environment in a completely unfamiliar place? ”

"What? Hey, you should say it quickly, what are you selling at this time? ”

"I finally know why you can't compare to Xiao Liuzi, not only is your mouth not good, but your brain is not good, which shows that people are calm, this kind of calm and calm in the face of danger is not something that the bandits learned, those things, look at the appearance of God second and me first, pretending to be not afraid of the sky and the ground, the few we caught before, which one was not scared to pee his pants before he went to the lobby and waited for the torture." ”

The two young people on the opposite side had a reasonable expression on their faces, and nodded again and again, Brother Luo was proud to hold the bamboo tube and took a deep breath, I am also in a good mood here, Brother Luo listened to these two sentences I am very useful, I never thought that one day I would be looked down upon, I didn't expect to make a Qinglou actually make a reputation, I have to remember this Brother Luo's appearance, if he really starts at night, if it is not necessary, he must be killed.

The young man who was happy asked again, "Then why do you say these Qiu Ba are running to us?" The daughter-in-law who had just married Lao Tzu hadn't been hot yet, so she was called out and assigned to run around. ”

"Hey, what are you doing?" What do you think we can do in this poor and remote place? It must have something to do with Longchang, and I dare say it has a lot to do with the army that came past us. ”

"You mean the one that passed quietly on the night of the Qingming Festival?" ”

Brother Luo nodded.

"Hasn't that army already withdrawn?" ”

"Did you see it?" There is such a road in and out of Longchang, and that army has five or six hundred people, have you seen one more later? ”

The young man shook his head and said, "That ghost town in Longchang, why is it suddenly so recruiting?" I remember when I was a child, I made a bet with Xiao Liuzi and them, who dared to go to Longchang outside to pick a basket of Tianqi back, everyone invited him to eat a bowl of Zhang Ji beef noodles, I even found a basket at that time, but Xiao Liuzi was cheap, and inadvertently let my father know, and beat me half to death after coming back. ”

"It's thanks to your Abba for being in a timely manner, otherwise your kid wants to marry a daughter-in-law?" It is estimated that only Chenghuang's sister can marry you, that Longchang City is not a joke, a few years ago when the Qing Dynasty just died, the world is more chaotic than now, there is a group of refugees from the north, said to escape the world, I don't know who said that Longchang is an empty city with no people, seventy or eighty men, women and children went straight to go, and they couldn't stop it at that time, what was the result? Hum. ”

"And these three are still going?" And since it's a ghost place, they can go there, why don't we toss around day and night. ”

"Then I don't know, but I'm sure that Longchang is not a simple place, maybe there is some big treasure hidden, hey, we shouldn't the heart, we can't, we should eat, we should drink, as long as you give money, you say that if you stay here, you can send it to Beiping." ”

Then they smoked and drank water silently, I listened to them chat, and planned to go back, as soon as I turned around, Yuanmei stood behind me at some point, startled me, she beckoned, and the two returned to the mound one after the other.

The second master was still snoring and falling asleep, Yuanmei and I sat on the side, and she asked me, "What were they talking about just now?" I heard it as if I was talking about Longchang. ”

I nodded, and recounted the 1510 I heard just now, she frowned and calculated: "The Qingming Festival has been more than half a year now, do you know about this at that time?" ”

I thought back to the fact that we had just moved to a new base half a year ago, and we were in a state of anxiety by the nameless female corpse who killed the head chef, and when I thought of this, I shook my head and said, "It's not someone we sent." ”

"I think people must be related to you, it should be arranged by the military commander, after all, in addition to the military commander, there are very few people who know about Longchang, but it is not your side of the people who are transferred, and I just had a dream, I dreamed that the master was telling me a hexagram, and I was a big murderer for a long time, which made me suddenly think of a question, why did Zeng Weiguo or the entire military commander attach so much importance to Longchang, where is there?" ”

Yuan Mei said that she took out the three eldest sons, clasped her hands together and covered them in the palms of her hands, shook them, and threw them to the ground, I know, this is a common method of fortune-telling on the street, and the stalls are larger and use turtle shells.

"This is the six yao, relying on Zhou Yi, if Zhou Yi is a treasure trove, then this six yao is the key to open the treasure house, of course, the key of the six yao is not everyone can use it, or rather, not everyone will use it, it depends on the practice, Taoism, and even talent, all three are indispensable, and Zeng Weiguo Although they have half a piece of Fuxi sixteen hexagrams in their hands, if they want to solve the hexagram or calculate the hexagram, there is no six hexagrams, it is just a decoration, and the six trigrams are aimed at the gossip of King Wen, and they can't count the sixteen hexagrams of Fuxi, do you understand? ”

At this time, I was staring at the three eldest sons on the ground, and when she asked, I raised my head and said, "You mean that there is a key to unlocking the sixteen hexagrams of Fuxi in Longchang?" ”

"I don't know how the ancestors of our two families got this key, but this thing is really important, especially when the military commander has already obtained half of the ghost hexagram, so I can understand why Zeng Weiguo cooperated with the Japanese and really unscrupulous means." ”

"But we took the key in advance, didn't we set ourselves on fire?" ”

"You think you'll be safe if you don't take it?" With this key, at least at the critical time there is a talisman that can save life, without it we can only be slaughtered, besides, this thing is extremely dangerous, whether it is a military commander or a Zeng Weiguo, no matter what you want to do with this thing, it must be related to the war, and now the Japanese are added, with Zeng Weiguo's mind, it is absolutely impossible to bargain with the old fox of Dongye, the reason why Dongye is actively involved in this matter is probably also under the command of the military department or the staff headquarters, Now the Japanese are planning to establish a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, invade everywhere, and wage wars, but their most fatal weakness is that the country is too small, there are too few people, and the longer the battle line, the more disadvantageous it will be. ”

I nodded blankly, Yuanmei looked at me and sighed and said, "Okay, you hurry up and go to sleep, no matter what lies ahead, we have no way out, I just hope that my guess is wrong, even if it is found that it is a mountain of gold and silver, it is stronger than that key." ”

The last few words sounded like she was meant by her, I lay on the ground, closed my eyes, and kept repeating in my head that Brother Luo's sentence Longchang is a place where there is no return, repeated it several times, and then fell asleep.
