Chapter 25: Foreign Aid
"So what now?" Wu Jiao asked.
"Set up camp and sleep." Xu Wu said.
"Huh? Right here, huh? Wu Jiao said with a bitter face.
"yes, you don't want to go back to town and stay in a hotel, do you?" Xu Wu said.
"No, I mean, there's a dragon in this cave." It seems that Wu Jiao has not yet come out of last night's fear.
"Haha, do you really believe it?" Xu Wu said with a smile.
"No, even a mask can scare you like that." Chen Bing teased.
"Dead Chen Bing, you stop, I promise not to kill you." Wu Jiao chased after her.
Nothing was said all night.
In the afternoon of the next day, Wu Yingying finally arrived, and Zhang Tiezhu came with him, Xu Wu was very puzzled and asked, "Zhang Tiezhu, why are you here?"
"That's the case, after I received your call, I didn't know where Ma Yan was, and then I suddenly remembered that I saw Zhang Tiezhu's file record that he was a soldier in Yanquan Town before, so I asked him, and only then did I know that he used to be a soldier near Ma Yan, and he was very familiar with this area, and then he heard that you needed help here, and he must come to help, so I asked him to come with him." Wu Yingying hurriedly said.
"You, I'm afraid it's not people who take the initiative to come, it's you who can't find the way and ask people to come, right?" Xu Wu pointed at Wu Yingying and said.
"Captain Xu, you are wrong to blame Officer Wu, it is true that I took the initiative to ask for it, I am familiar with this area, and I may be able to help you." Zhang Tiezhu said, came to Wu Jiao, and said with a smile: "This is my sister-in-law, it's so beautiful." ”
"What sister-in-law, don't shout." Wu Jiao glared at Wu Yingying, knowing that it must have been him.
"Sister-in-law, don't stare at me, not now, and in the future, instead of changing your words later, it's better to start shouting like this now." Wu Yingying said with a smile.
"Wu Yingying, you kid is not big or small, call sister." Wu Jiao said.
"That's a good title, if I call your sister, then the captain will be my brother-in-law, a relative, okay, I'll call you sister in the future." Wu Yingying's cheap face attracted a burst of contempt from several people.
"No, you're not related to us, and you've been arrested by them, why did you come to help us?" Chen Bing looked at Zhang Tiezhu with a look of suspicion.
"This is Brother Chen Bing, I know you will definitely suspect that my motives are not pure, but I admire Captain Xu, after I put it back last time, I have been thinking about what Captain Xu said to me, I am ashamed of the words of the veteran, I decided to change my ways, not to do anything illegal and undisciplined, now Captain Xu needs help, and it just so happens that I can help a little, so I came uninvited." Zhang Tiezhu said sincerely.
Xu Wu's face was moved after hearing this, and he patted Zhang Tiezhu on the shoulder and said, "Thank you!" ”
"Your reason is a bit far-fetched." Chen Bing said.
"Yes, I took the initiative to come today, and there is indeed a reason." Zhang Tiezhu said.
"What is the reason?" Xu Wu asked.
"Do you know how I got this injury?" Zhang Tiezhu pointed to the scar on his face and said.
"I don't know." Several people shook their heads and said.
"Could it be related to this?" Xu Wu said.
"Yes, I was a soldier here, and my company was stationed not far from here, and one year a group of unidentified armed men with guns suddenly broke into here, and I didn't know what to do here, and my superiors ordered our company to eliminate this group of unknown armed men." Zhang Tiezhu said.
"The scar on your face was the one you got from that operation?" Xu Wu asked.
"Yes, we were confronted with them at the time." Zhang Tiezhu pointed to Ma Yan on his head and said: "That battle was fought very fiercely, and several comrades-in-arms died here. As he spoke, his eyes turned red.
"Are there a lot of them?" Xu Wu asked.
"There are not many people, about a dozen, but all of them are good hands, our company is a reconnaissance company, I didn't expect that as soon as I came into contact with them, several of them fell." Zhang Tiezhu lowered his head and choked out of words.
"Who are they, so powerful?" Xu Wu asked.
"I don't know." Zhang Tiezhu said.
"You didn't take a single prisoner, or kill one?" Xu Wu asked.
"There were no prisoners, only three were killed, but no clues were found on them, who were they and what were they doing here? It's still a mystery. Zhang Tiezhu said.
"Looks like they're well-trained." Xu Wu said.
"Then how did your injuries come about?" Chen Bing asked.
"Hidden weapon, when they saw that there were many of us, they were about to run, so I chased after it, but suddenly a hidden weapon flew in, and I couldn't dodge, so that's it." Zhang Tiezhu said.
"What kind of secret weapon is it?" Xu Wu asked.
"A five-pointed dart." Zhang Tiezhu said.
"Pentagram darts? How it feels so familiar. Xu Wu frowned and said.
"So, I heard that Officer Wu said that you are here, so I took the initiative to ask to come, I must find out that group of people and avenge my comrades-in-arms." A trace of ruthlessness flashed on Zhang Tiezhu's face.
Xu Wu nodded, walked up to Zhang Tiezhu, stretched out his fist and said, "Live and die together." ”
Zhang Tiezhu's eyes were red, and he slowly stretched out his fist and touched Xu Wu, choked up and said, "Live and die together." Then the two hands were tightly clasped together, and at this time, Xu Wu could be regarded as truly accepting Zhang Tiezhu.
Chen Bing wanted to say something, but when he saw the expressions of the two of them, he stopped talking, and he didn't understand the world of soldiers.
Xu Wu explained the situation inside, a few people took a break, prepared things, and walked into the cave again, before this departure, Xu Wu particularly emphasized that everyone should not be too far away, the situation inside is unknown, don't get lost again, so everyone lined up, Xu Wu was in front, Zhang Tiezhu was broken, and the other three people were in the middle, carrying the kayak, and slowly walked inside, because it was familiar with the road, it was smooth, and it was a while to the dark river.
Wu Yingying thought very thoughtfully and brought a lot of things, especially the miner's lamp on the hat, which surprised everyone, because the flashlights of several people were almost out of power, and they were worried about this.
Xu Wu put on his hat, stuck a branch in his hand into the water, looked at it, and said, "The water is quite deep, and I haven't inserted a stick of more than one meter into the end." ”
"This is the marginal area, and I don't know what is going on in there." Chen Bing said.
"Whatever, let's go in and see." Wu Yingying said, pushed the kayak into the water, and jumped on the first one.
Xu Wu is in the bow of the boat, Zhang Tiezhu is in the stern, Wu Jiao is in the middle, Wu Yingying and Chen Bing took a paddle and rowed the kayak slowly towards the depths of the cave, the light of the miner's lamp is very penetrating, even in such an environment, it can shine 5 meters away, compared with before, the field of vision is much wider, finally not so depressing, the cave is scary, only the sound of the oars paddling, several people looked around on alert, for fear that something would suddenly jump out.
