Chapter 20: Time to Fight Back
Cooked Langbu was holding back his anger, and the old cat's words hit his heart.
The cold cooked Langbu also showed a sinister smile, which showed a kind of revenge mentality in him at the moment. He didn't wait for the old cat to ask anything more, but hurriedly turned and ran back, telling his companion the messenger's meaning.
While we were waiting, I interjected and asked the old cat and the iron donkey, how many more men do we need to be enough to pursue the enemy this time?
The old cat snorted and didn't answer. The iron donkey told me that if I want to look at him, I don't need any manpower, and we are enough.
I've actually had the idea of an iron donkey for a long time, both of them are tracking experts, and they also carry guns.
I looked at the old cat puzzled, but I wasn't stupid, and after thinking about it for a few seconds, I thought of a possibility. The old cat wants to make these reckless people grateful to us, and let them know our strength, and then it is convenient for us to ask them for miraculous medicine or something.
I secretly praised the old cat for being too smart, this plan is like killing two birds with one stone.
At this time, Shu Langbu came with all the reckless people, and they surrounded us. I'm a little unaccustomed to being surrounded by so many "primitive people".
But before I could say anything, Shu Langbu took the lead in reporting that there were now nine warriors, including him, and that there were eight women and two children left.
Listening to this data, my heart was heavy, which meant that this tribe had really suffered a lot of losses.
I'm also thinking that it's not good for us to chase the enemy and go too many people, I'm also smart, and I'll make a suggestion to the old cat, just take three warriors with you, right?
The old cat thought about it, nodded and said yes. Shu Langbu found two partners to join our team, and the others stayed where they were, especially I specially instructed them to be smart, if something is wrong, don't touch it, wait for us to come back.
The reckless people left behind all nodded in response. Familiar Langbu also returned the soul to me. This seemingly useless relic has always been held by him.
I didn't take it seriously, I didn't want to accept it, but Shu Langbu insisted on giving it, and I couldn't dismiss him too much, so I accepted it.
Later we set off with a little preparation.
Of course, we brought our equipment, and I thought these reckless people had nothing to take, at most bows and arrows, spears, and stone axes, but they didn't know where to find three baskets, all of which were carried on their backs, with lids fastened on them, and I didn't know what they contained.
Here we went. The old cat and the iron donkey led the team. As the iron donkey intended, we chased in the direction of the two escaped mercenaries.
The old cat and the iron donkey were in charge of the track identification, and we followed.
I found out that these two guys were definitely deliberately trying to show off their deception, even when they were observing the side of the road, they didn't bend down, and they wouldn't even stop to check.
The iron donkey also pinched his fingers from time to time and took out the practice of fortune teller sticks. We had been running for half an hour, probably five kilometers away, when there was something unusual in front of us.
In the grass on one side, there was a man lying down, with a strip of red cloth on his arm.
This should be one of the escaped mercenaries, but why is he lying here, we can't be sure, I have a guess, is this guy dead?
We weren't sure, the old cat and the iron donkey both waved their hands to stop everyone, and the two of them cooperated. The iron donkey raised his gun to cover, and the old cat crept over.
The old cat only took a preliminary look and then dismissed the alarm, which proved that the mercenary was indeed hanging. We also gathered around. The old cat turned the mercenary's corpse over, and at this moment I saw his face.
In fact, to be honest, this mercenary has no face, there is blood on it, and the nose, eyes and mouth are no longer visible.
We were both a little disgusting, and I had a question in my heart, this mercenary had a bullet hole in his stomach, he must have been beaten by an iron donkey, and then he fled so far that he couldn't bear it and died, but why did his companion deliberately scratch his face again? Don't you want us to see him for what he really is?
I can't think of any other possibility. The iron donkey and the old cat must have been aware of this problem.
But the two of them were very strange, and their expressions made people feel that they had guessed who this person was, but they didn't want to say it.
They weren't in a hurry to leave, and we didn't have them to lead the way, so we couldn't walk for a while.
The old cat also took out the knife and poked it into the original mouth of the corpse.
He didn't mean to torture the corpse, but after using some force, the corpse's mouth was pried open, and the old cat put two fingers into it, and then took out a small poison sac from it.
I'm all too familiar with it, because they have both the old cat and the iron donkey. I was shocked, and I said, "Could this mercenary have served in the organization before?" Or is he also a member of the organization now?
I felt that I was very close to the truth, and I had to ponder it again, but the old cat put away the poison sac and beckoned us to set off. I don't have that much energy, I can't think about it while running, so I can only put this in advance.
On the rest of the way, we didn't encounter anything, and after another quarter of an hour, we came across a forest.
The forest grows strangely, and when we come to the bottom of the slope and look up quietly, we can see that there are dots of light overflowing from the forest.
It shows that there are people there. Most likely the enemy.
As the old saying goes, enemies are very red when they meet, and the three reckless warriors of Shulangbu are about to copy the guy and rush up, but they are stopped by us.
I said in my heart that they should not be stupid, just like me for a while, just be a tourist, and destroy the enemy, and hand over a cat and a donkey to the fat man.
They also had this plan, and the iron donkey immediately assigned us tasks.
I left the three reckless men where they were, and they both went into the forest. The plan was met with reckless opposition, but I left them speechless with a word.
I said, "Listen to the messenger!" ”
The iron donkey and the old cat each ran in one direction and burrowed into the woods. It's not a problem for the four of us to stand here, because it's windy in this place, and I not only get goosebumps, but also urinate.
I looked around and there was a pit next to it. I beckoned them to go and squat down here to avoid it.
I'm just acquainted with them, and I don't think their messengers are very respectful to me, but I don't have much to talk to them about. They were so embarrassed that they left me behind and talked in the local dialect from time to time. 、
I don't know what they're talking about, and I don't want to blink like an idiot. I just observe their expressions, they are serious and I am serious, they are angry and I am angry.
After a while, Shu Langbu said a local word, and the two reckless people became serious again, and they sniffed vigorously.
What's wrong with my heart? Could it be that their keen sense of smell has noticed something strange? I quickly poked my head out and sniffed.
I smelled a foul smell, and it wasn't an exaggeration to say that it was the same as the smell of the stinking gutter or the sewer.
Shu Langbu noticed my actions, and he said in Chinese, "Lord Messenger, someone farted just now, do you also think that this fart stinks?" ”
My expression suddenly froze, and even my mind went blank for a moment. When I had come to my senses, I couldn't wait to stand up and fan my face with both hands, trying to get rid of all the things I had sucked in.
I also want to scold these three unreliable things, and I wonder who taught them their quirks? Why are you still smelling farts so seriously?
Before I could speak, there was a swish above my head, accompanied by the feeling that my hair had been touched by an invisible hand.
I thought to myself, what's the matter? I turned my head to look.
Not far in front of the pit, a puff of smoke came out without warning.
I'm familiar with this puff of smoke, it's shot from a bullet. My first reaction was that the iron donkey had fought the enemy, and I didn't expect that some of the enemy would have guns.
I don't want to be hit by a stray bullet, isn't that just a lying gun?
I hurriedly squatted down again, and also asked the three of them not to show their heads. They were very curious and asked me what was wrong?
But I can't explain anything, especially since they don't know what a gun is. The next cigarette time, from time to time, bullets came in, and around our pits, there was always a puff of smoke.
I didn't dare to observe, but I had a question in my heart, did the enemy's guns also have mufflers? And with the gun skills of the iron donkey, why hasn't the enemy been wiped out yet?
I stayed up for a while with my mind full of question marks, and a dark shadow appeared in the woods, rushing towards us.
I couldn't see far, I didn't see far, and they found it first, and I was surprised by Langbu, saying that the other two messengers had returned, and the thin messenger was carrying the fat messenger on his back.
I said in my heart, the fat messenger is referring to the iron donkey, he won't have any accidents, right?
We didn't dare to go out, and I even called out to the old cat softly, which meant that he should be careful of the enemy's bullets. But old cats can't hear it.
And after watching the old cat walk away for a while, I realized that there was a problem. He didn't walk in a straight line, he swayed straight to the left and to the right.
I wondered what was wrong with him? Is there anything to dodge with such steps?
