"Hurry up, don't play tricks, I know you two are soldiers, you should know that bullets move faster than you two. The man who followed behind Qiao Xiaojing kept urging Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi to move forward quickly.

"You cover our heads, we can't see the situation under our feet, how can we walk fast?" Ah Zi was a little angry.

"Don't talk so much nonsense, hurry up. The man who followed Ah Zi pushed Ah Zi with the butt of his gun.

"Don't move your hands and feet, I know how to go. Ah Zi twisted his body.

"If it's really a spy, I'll definitely blow your head off. The man behind Ah Zi was a little impatient.

"Okay, okay, everyone stop arguing, we're not bad people, don't we follow you all the time, why be angry?" Qiao Xiaojing wanted to calm everyone's anger, and her language seemed very tactful.

After that, the two sides didn't talk again, and walked forward quietly, Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi were led into a dilapidated courtyard, into a room that was not very well-lit, and let them stand in front of a large table.

"Second brother," said the man who escorted Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi, "caught two suspicious people at the mouth of the ditch. ”

"Who is it?" Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi could both hear it, they had never heard the voice of the person who spoke before.

"No, as soon as they were caught, they were escorted here, and it is not possible to determine the identities of these two people for the time being, but it is certain that these two are not good people, we have observed them for a long time, and the sneaky ones are either spies or spies. ”

"Nonsense," said the "second brother," said slowly, "can spies and spies be seen so casually? ”

After that, the person who escorted Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi back left the room at the signal of the "second brother".

"You ---" Before the second brother could speak, Qiao Xiaojing asked first, "Who are you?" We didn't do anything, we walked well, why did you arrest us here?"

"This is our territory," said the second brother, "and I should have asked you, when is it your turn to ask me?" Tell me, who are you, why did you come here, and who told you to come here?"

Qiao Xiaojing saw that the person who spoke was a middle-aged man who was not tall, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, holding a few pieces of paper with words written in one hand, and a cigarette in the other.

"We," Qiao Xiaojing struggled for a moment, trying to break free her hands from the rope, and said after a failed attempt, "We are outsiders who fled here to find relatives, and we came here for the first time, and we got lost by taking shortcuts, and we accidentally came here after a wandering around the ravine...... We're all down-and-out rednecks, and we haven't done anything...... but you have captured him. ”

"Really, can I believe your words?" the "second brother" glanced at Qiao Xiaojing.

"Of course!" Ah Zi said in a hurry, "We are poor people who have fled here, our relatives cannot be found, we are desperate, and now we have strayed into this place, what dare we lie." A few big brothers, okay, let us go?!"

"Let you go?" The "second brother" obviously wouldn't believe Ah Zi's words, glanced at Ah Zi again, and said disdainfully, "Just let you go, how is it possible! There is no village here for dozens of miles, how can there be your relatives, it is clear that you are lying." I advise you to be honest, take the initiative to say what I want to know, don't take chances, if you force me to let you taste some flesh and skin, I think you will regret it. ”

"We are really countrymen," Ah Zi begged, "we are here to find relatives, and we don't know anything else, you, what do you want us to say?"

"Well," said the second brother, "I don't want to waste time with you, because you are not honest, and it is better to use some more direct means than to grind your tongue here." Come, take them down, take them under their care, and when I take care of the matter at hand, I will entertain them well...... Let them both regret that they have been here in their lives. ”

"Let's go, why are you still stunned here?" Two young people came in from outside the house, and they put their hands on Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi's shoulders, pushing and shoving, wanting to escort them away.

"You ---" Qiao Xiaojing struggled for a moment, got rid of the arm of the person behind her, pointed to the "second brother" and asked, "What do you mean? We all said, we are just strangers who have no way to find relatives and have no way out, we don't know anything, we haven't done anything, why do you take care of us indiscriminately, why?"

Actually, in Ah Zi and the "second brother" When talking, Qiao Xiaojing has been secretly observing the changes in this man's demeanor, every move, including the tone of speech and way of thinking, her thoughts are running at high speed, she is analyzing a series of events related to the mysterious person in the past, she wants to make a judgment in the shortest possible time--- whether these people are guerrillas, or revolutionary teams, or bandits hiding in the mountains--- if these people are revolutionary teams, then whether the man in front of them is the mysterious person they are looking for, or whether the mysterious person they are looking for is in this team......

"Hmph," the "second brother" glared at Qiao Xiaojing with disdain, and said coldly, "You are so stupid, you have fallen into our hands, and you will ask the question of why I take care of you, then I tell you, because you are not honest, instead of grinding your tongue here, it is better to have some more direct means." You keep saying that you are a countryman, and you are a stranger who has defected to your relatives, and this is nonsense! I have never seen such a calm countryman as you two. What kind of place is this? Is this the backyard of the countrymen? Our people, the people with guns in their hands, such a terrible place, don't you realize that these things are different from the life of the countrymen? There is no fear at all, and you dare to quibble. ”

"I, we're scared silly. Qiao Xiaojing said reluctantly, "I came from a small place, I have never seen the world at all, and when I saw this place and you people, I was already scared stupid, so I forgot to be afraid, I think you can understand." ”

"Take it down," the second brother shook his head and said, "Take care of them, I don't have time to deal with the two of them for the time being." ”

"Wait," Qiao Xiaojing was already stuck in her arms, she struggled with all her might, and yelled at the "second brother", "Since you want to take care of us, we admit it, but you must let me meet your eldest brother." ”

Qiao Xiaojing felt that the "second brother" seemed to be a bit like the mysterious person, but it was a little different, as for why she couldn't figure it out, it was just a feeling. But since everyone else calls him "Second Brother", it means that this person is not the boss of these people, she wants to meet this "Big Brother", maybe this person is the mysterious person.

The "second brother" didn't seem to hear Qiao Xiaojing's words and didn't respond to a word. The person who escorted her said in a contemptuous tone: "It's better to save it! I want to see our boss, don't dream!"

In this way, Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi were pushed and dragged to a room in the backyard.

The furnishings of the house were very simple, a clay kang without mats, a window with no window paper, only a latticework made of sticks, and a pile of hay to keep out the damp, and nothing else, and it was clearly a simple cell.

"What now?" Ah Zi stood in front of the windowsill, looking at the door that seemed to be guarded, and said helplessly and unwillingly, "The other party is not clear, trapped in this kind of ghost place, and I don't know when I will be able to get out!"

Qiao Xiaojing sat cross-legged on the hay, without Ah Zi's words, to be exact, she didn't have the heart to deal with Ah Zi who was pointing out the window and was uneasy, she frowned and fell into deep thought.

"Boss," Ah Zi patted his forehead helplessly, came to Qiao Xiaojing's side, shook his head and said, "When has this been, why are you still here in a daze! ”

"You say," Qiao Xiaojing took a deep breath and said lightly, "Cuiyu and Dazhi went to scout in disguise, I don't know what the result is, have they returned to the tofu shop now?"

"Cuiyu and Dazhi?" Ah Zi never expected Qiao Xiaojing to talk about this topic at this time, paused, and said impatiently, "Who knows? You ask me, don't I live in someone's cell like you?"

"As the saying goes," Qiao Xiaojing sighed, "The east is not bright and the west is bright, we can't get out for the time being, I hope Cuiyu and Dazhi can go well, but, we must not make mistakes again, otherwise it will be really troublesome......"

Since receiving the mission, Jade and Dazhi have pretended to be husband and wife and have been ordered to investigate the reason why the addict Fugen came here.

Dazhi picked two baskets of radishes and walked back and forth at the Japanese military police headquarters, shouting and shouting. Jade set up a stall at the intersection near the gendarmerie headquarters, specializing in things like thread needles.

Under the cover of being a small trader, Jade and Daishi observe the movements in the courtyard of the Japanese military police headquarters, waiting for the addict Fugen to appear in their eyes again.

It's a pity that time passed minute by minute, and people came in and out of the Japanese military police headquarters from time to time, but they couldn't see Fugen's shadow, and this guy suddenly disappeared as if he already knew that someone was watching him.

The morning was over, and Jade and Dazhi had done nothing, the sun was already blazing, and they felt as if they were sitting by the fire in the summer, hot and dry, and very disturbed.

What can this be? I can only wait patiently, after all, the last time I saw Fugen enter the gendarmerie headquarters, what kind of place was it, it was the command center of the devils, and it was heavily guarded, so it was impossible to rush in and pull Fugen out!

Cuiyu and Dazhi knew in their hearts that the only thing they could do at the moment if they wanted to learn more about Fugen, or learn more about the situation of the devil through Fugen, was to wait......

For the guerrilla squad, the happiest one at present should be the big one, he and Qiao Shuangxi went out early and returned late, shuttling between several high-yield villages around the county, although they were tired, but at least they were free, unlike Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi who were locked in a cage.
