Chapter 52: Assassination
The heavy snow covered the road in the mountains and forests, it looked the same everywhere, and there were few references, Wu Qi didn't know if he was still heading west, but he didn't care where he was going, and he was a little absent-mindedly thinking about things, especially the three cigarette tickets that he was still holding in his hand, I don't know what this means, maybe Li Huantuo said, but Chen Yumiao didn't tell him, there was still a problem here, Wu Qi faintly felt that Chen Yumiao was too wrong with her.
As for why squad leader Dong wanted him to send a letter to Siping, Wu Qi felt that it might have something to do with Dong Qian. That girl is crazy, she looks so lively, she must have a sense of freshness if she is a newcomer, and his identity at this time is more sensitive, although he is not Li Huan's person, but sooner or later he will go, and by that time the person who has a relationship with him may be in danger. Therefore, this Dong squad leader deliberately broke Wu Qi away, and when the time was almost up, he was directly taken away by Li Huan, and it had nothing to do with them.
I don't know if what I think is right, Wu Qi just thought about it while walking, but he still felt that Dong Qian's little girl was very interesting, and she was also good-looking, suddenly thinking of this, Wu Qi stopped, he felt that his face was red, and he was a little embarrassed to talk to himself.
After walking west from Nanling for a whole day, we arrived at Natumen County, where Wu Qi wanted to take a train to Siping City. At that time, Jilin's railway network was still built during the puppet Manchurian period, and it made a detour from the interior along several cities and counties to Korea, including one stop in Tumen County. After Wu Qi arrived, he asked the locals to find out where the station was, and the train only had one flight a day at that time, and it was the kind of coal-burning steam locomotive, but it was quite a coincidence, Wu Qi had just arrived not long ago. The train came over, it was to the west, and after asking the attendant, I learned that the train passed through Antu, Dunhua, Jiaohe, Jilin, Jiutai, Changchun, Gongzhuling and Siping City, where he was going.
Wu Qi is an active soldier, and the flight attendant gave Wu Qi half of the exemption when he made the ticket, but he still asked for five cents. After the withdrawal from Lao Maozi. Then our country's large-denomination banknotes have been replaced by more practical small bills, which are one cent and one dime, which used to be 115,000, but they are still called by eight cents in the market.
The train is full of hardwood seats, but there are not many people in the carriage, as far as Wu Qi sits in this carriage, counting his total of five people, if it is full, there should be at least more than thirty people. It also had something to do with the national economy at that time, and the worker's monthly salary was only a dozen yuan. Although it is fast and convenient to take a train from a long distance, it costs four or five yuan to go back and forth, which is too expensive for ordinary people to afford, so it is better to take the old road before, and you don't have to walk around for one more day to get to the place, and the money saved is enough for the whole family to eat for a few days.
In the early days of liberation, the world was different from before, and everyone was still a little trembling before they got used to it. People live cautiously, and there are no people in the train who take the initiative to talk to others. Those who sleep and those who watch the snow outside can be regarded as self-enjoyment.
Wu Qi didn't have much rest last night, and at this time, he couldn't open his eyelids that were swaying by the train, and finally he couldn't hold it anymore, so Wu Qi put up the collar of his military coat, blocked his face and leaned against the window, and slowly fell asleep with the swaying of the train left and right.
I don't know how long I slept this night. Or was accidentally woken up by the flight attendant when he was delivering hot water, the flight attendant was a little embarrassed and sorry, Wu Qi rubbed his eyes and said vaguely that it was okay, but when he turned his head and saw that it was already dark outside, he asked the flight attendant where he was now.
The flight attendant was a young lad. The work clothes he was wearing were still a little fat, and he said to Wu Qi with a smile on his shoulders: "We're almost in Changchun, I've been walking around and looking at things since you went to sleep, and you can see that the people around you have changed several times." ”
Wu Qi's neck was a little stiff, and after a little warm breath in his hand, he pushed his neck and turned his head with his still cold hand, only to see that there were only three people left in the carriage he was sitting in, all of them were quite far away from him, but one of them made Wu Qi feel uncomfortable, that person was wearing an ordinary cotton jacket, staring at the front with an expressionless face, that look was very indifferent, when Wu Qi's eyes were over, that person actually looked out of the window a little evasively, but the black mountains and mountains and Pingchuan couldn't see anything at all.
This kind of deliberate expression made Wu Qi a little puzzled, his reaction was more obvious, the flight attendant had a little eyesight, looked for Wu Qi's gaze, seemed to notice something, and asked in a low voice: "Comrade, what's wrong?" Wu Qi smiled and waved his hand, signaling that there was nothing wrong, and asked the flight attendant to pour him a cup of hot water and then didn't speak.
Changchun is a big station, and it is also one of the few stations with lights along the way, and you can see the light of the station in the distance before you can stop at the station. Wu Qi was already a lot sober at this time, there was no heating equipment in the carriage, at most it was the layer of iron sheet to block the wind, whether it was cold or cold, no matter how thick he wore it, his cold teeth chattered.
Wu Qi wrapped himself tightly, counting that there were still two long stations to get to the place, just drinking hot water could not withstand it, and he wanted to call the flight attendant to buy something to eat, but Wu Qi was embarrassed to trouble people. shrunk himself in his clothes, only half of his head was exposed, his eyelids drooped and he was about to sleep, but he suddenly felt a cold gaze looking at him, Wu Qi looked up and looked over, it was actually the person sitting by the window diagonally opposite, he stared at Wu Qi with slanted eyes for a long time.
"Comrade, do you have something wrong?" Wu Qi asked after looking back at the man.
But the man didn't reply, and slowly turned his head with a cold face, giving Wu Qi a feeling that he seemed to be waiting for something.
At this moment, the train began to slow down when it arrived at the station, and the frequency of shaking intensified, causing Wu Qi's backpack to fall crookedly, and a lot of debris was scattered. Wu Qi sighed, poked his head and arms out of his warm clothes, endured the cold, bent down and re-stuffed everything that fell on the ground, and then put the bag back up, this time putting it inside, blocking it with his legs.
After raising his head after finishing his work, the train had stopped, and there were only two people left in Wu Qi's carriage, which seemed a little empty and deserted. waited until the train restarted, no one entered this carriage, in the sound of the clanging bell, Wu Qi felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and he began to think back to the qiē that happened before leaving, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became.
When Wu Qi suddenly reacted, he suddenly found that the person who had been watching him just now had changed his position and seemed to be a little away from him. Wu Qi sniffed, greeted again, and said, "Comrade, where are you going?" ”
"Send someone back to their hometown!"
This time the man spoke, but his voice was dry and cold, with a ruthlessness, and Wu Qi, who listened, was shocked.
"You?" Wu Qi sensed that something was wrong, and as soon as he shouted, he suddenly felt that the surroundings had become dark, they had already left the station, the light gradually faded away, and the electric lights in the carriage were also extinguished, and they fell into darkness in an instant, only the window could faintly see the snow scene of the wilderness outside.
Almost at the same time, Wu Qi felt a gust of wind coming towards him, and then he felt a punch in the front, hitting him hard against the window behind him, shaking the glass. Before Wu Qi could react to what was going on, his collar had been grabbed by someone, and then after a whirlwind, he was thrown out and smashed the armrest of the wooden chair, lying in a strange posture in the Xiaoice narrow and cold aisle of the train, inhaling in pain.
Wu Qi covered his waist and propped up his body from the ground, but as soon as he raised his face, he saw a pair of legs in front of him, he reflexively blocked his face with his hands, only heard the sound of "bang", his arm was numb, and the whole person was overturned by the huge impact force, and his back hit the ground, and Wu Qi screamed and scolded in pain.
"You're fucking crazy! What are you doing? ”
But that person was like a demon from hell, with a cold air all over his body, and Wu Qi, who was frightened, stepped back with both hands, but his clothes were hung on the chair on the side and he was restrained and couldn't move. There was not much light in the carriage, and he could only see the general outline of the things around him, and the tall and strong figure with murderous intent made Wu Qi's heart beat violently, his whole head was ringing, his eyes were staring at the person who came over, his whole body trembled from nervous trembling to slowly recovering calm, Wu Qi found that the more unfavorable the situation was, the less afraid he was.
One hand quickly untied the obstructive military coat, and when the man approached, he found that it was still the same routine as before, he rolled backwards with a support, and before he could stabilize his body, he saw that his military coat was kicked out with a heavy kick, and he reacted quickly to dodge.
Half-squatting on the ground and holding on to the wooden chair, Wu Qi slowly stood up, clenched his fists with both hands, gritted his teeth with a cold face and asked, "Why do you do this?" Who are you? Immediately thinking that he still had the letter on him, Wu Qi seemed to say with some understanding: "Do you want that letter?" ”
But after finishing speaking, the man was unmoved, only to see the arm of the black shadow on the opposite side move around his waist, and then a shallow white light shook Wu Qi's eyes, it was actually a knife. After realizing that it was a knife, it had already poked him in front of his neck, Wu Qi's eyes widened, and he subconsciously tilted his head to dodge, but the knife was too close and the blade still rubbed Wu Qi's neck, just felt that his neck was cold, but he had already fallen crooked on the seat in order to avoid the knife, and raised his hand to touch his neck, and there was a warm liquid, which looked like it had been cut, but it was not too strict.
But the man didn't allow him to react at all, after he didn't stab him, he then raised his foot and kicked Wu Qi inside, stuck it by the window, and then slashed Wu Qi's neck with his backhand with a knife. (To be continued......)
