"Is it you?" Although this is just a team in a ravine, although there are not many houses here, Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi also took a lot of trouble to find the director, when they walked into the director's office, a man was reading documents, saw them walk into the room, looked at them coldly, and asked indifferently, "Then, what about our people?"

The man was not very old, in his early thirties, and was a tall but somewhat emaciated young man. The hair is not long, slightly inches, and looks very lean. It's just that the wide and dragged clothes don't match his spirit, and the upper body is a gray-white coat, which is very wide, but whenever there is a little movement, it will swing freely, giving people the feeling that he is wearing the clothes of a fat man.

However, this man's expression was not good, his face was slightly yellow, he had either not seen the sun for a long time, or he was suffering from hunger, and his thick beard made him look even more haggard, and he vaguely showed a sick state, or he had just recovered from a serious illness. He has a kind face, and although he shows displeasure when he speaks, he can't hide his easily approachable qualities.

This person's eyes were dark and bright, and they were bright, although they only glanced at Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi, they still felt its sharpness, which was a powerful contrast to her slightly morbid face.

"Listen to what you mean," Qiao Xiaojing looked at the man who was always staring at the documents, and said tentatively, "You seem to know us, may I ask the director, do we really know each other?"

"What about our people?" The man was extremely indifferent, not only did he not show any signs of wanting to answer Qiao Xiaojing's question, but he didn't want to deal with the two of them at all, his eyes were still on the document in his hand, and he said coldly, "What's wrong with them?"

"Your people ......" At this point, Qiao Xiaojing stopped, she didn't know how to answer this question to avoid the misunderstanding escalating again, so she had to deal with it.

"You heard me right. The man finally put down the document in his hand and cast a cold gaze on Qiao Xiaojing.

"They," Qiao Xiaojing said stiffly, "they started to be busy early in the morning, and brought us food early in the morning, but they were too hard and tired, and they fell asleep on the kang covered with hay. Yes, just asleep, no problem, please take my word for it. ”

"Of course," said the man, "after all, you two are still on our turf, and nothing is as free as in your own place, and I believe you two are smart people who know what it means to lie when you shouldn't." ”

"Yes, yes, you're right. Qiao Xiaojing smiled and nodded.

"All right," the man said slowly, "let's get down to business, about you two." What are you two doing, how did you end up here?"

"The two of us came from the county seat to find relatives, but unfortunately the relatives moved away, but I don't know where we moved, so we stumbled to Guibaodi, so we apologize for the unpleasantness caused to you. Qiao Xiaojing's answer can be described as polite and courteous.

"There are no people in this place for twenty miles, why did you stumble into this place by mistake? The "director" folded up a few pieces of paper in his hand, gently placed them on the table, and stood in front of Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi with his hands behind his back.

"We just thought that we might be able to see the village when we climbed over the mountain in front of us, and maybe our relatives were in that village, so we ......" Qiao Xiaojing felt that her lie was very far-fetched, and she didn't know how to make it up.

"Nonsense, is it a milky child standing in front of you?" the "director" glared at them fiercely, and then said, "I advise you two to give an account as soon as possible, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin." ”

"What we're saying is true, believe it or not. Ah Zi was a little angry.

"It's hard to be stubborn, before I am completely angered by the two of you, it's best to explain the origin and identity of the two of you, once I am really angered by the two of you, I think you both will regret coming here for the rest of your life. The "director" sat on the stool in front of Qiao Xiaojing and them, his fingers kept flicking the tabletop, making a rhythmic and crisp "dong dong" sound.

"I'm ......" Ah Zi was about to speak, when he was suddenly interrupted by a young man running in from outside the house......

At this time, the big man hiding outside the city is not much more at ease than Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi in an unfamiliar environment, originally he wanted to mix in the people who entered the city, avoid the interrogation of the devils and traitors who defended the city, and return to the Sai Xi Shi Tofu Workshop to meet with the other members of the team, but now it is good, suddenly a middle-aged man came, because he didn't dare to look closely, the big man did not recognize that person was the big traitor Hui Rushen, a meticulous analysis, meticulous and thoughtful arrangements, completely broke the idea of the big man entering the city.

There are three reasons why the big man is uneasy, one is that he doesn't know if Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi have returned to the tofu shop, the second is that he can't send a message to his companions in the tofu shop to explain that he is safe, and the third is that he has not eaten rice and water for a long time, and now he is hungry, thirsty, sleepy and tired, and he doesn't know how long this kind of life will last.

With the passage of time, more and more people entered the city, and the big man had several times to blend into them, when he followed the large group of people to the city gate, he saw four or five traitors carefully checking the people entering the city, and there were at least four devils with loaded guns behind him staring coldly at the people entering the city, but anyone who was a little suspicious would be taken away by them, the atmosphere was very tense, and in desperation, the big man had to turn his head and leave halfway, and hide in the forest or the crop field again......

In the ravine, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and everything seems to be quiet.

Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi faced the young director and were about to have a showdown with him, but they were suddenly interrupted by shouting outside the house. The three people in the room, including the director, looked outside the house almost at the same time.

"Director Wang, director, we have made it clear, the devil has begun to mobilize the cart and is preparing to ......" It was a young man who ran in in a panic, it was obvious that this person was either an urgent person, or he had something very important to say, and he couldn't delay, otherwise he wouldn't be so excited that the voice had already arrived before anyone arrived. He saw a stranger and stopped suddenly.

The young man glanced at Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi, and his eyes fell on Director Wang's body again, his expression was very complicated, as if he was saying that this matter was very confidential and could not be known to outsiders, so he had to drive away these two women who didn't know where he came from quickly.

Director Wang didn't rush to make a decision, just squinted at the panting young man, and then at Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi who were standing on the side.

"Director Wang," Qiao Xiaojing took a step forward and said, "I always like to ponder everything, and my personality dictates it, can I guess what this little brother came to report, and see if I can guess correctly." ”

"Yes. Director Wang said coldly.

The young man who came to make a report looked at Director Wang, his face showed an anxious look, but it was like this, he had to accept it, shook his head slightly, and then moved his eyes to Qiao Xiaojing's body.

"The young man looked flustered," Qiao Xiaojing said, "and he shouted before he entered the house, indicating that he had obtained the information you were trying to get, and that it was a very important and urgent matter to report to you." At present, the anti-Japanese situation is still complex and severe, the devil's brigade is concentrated on the southern front, and there is a serious shortage of materials, especially food, so grabbing food is the most important thing for the devils in the near future, and for you, keeping food and smashing the devil's war to grab food is the top priority. ”

"Why are you ......" The young man was very surprised, it was obvious that Qiao Xiaojing had said what he was thinking, he wanted to say the five words "how do you know", but the word "know" was not spoken, it was because he saw Director Wang shaking his head slightly at him.

"Please continue. Director Wang looked at Qiao Xiaojing.

"If I'm not mistaken," Qiao Xiaojing glanced at the young man and said with a smile, "The last words he said when he ran in and said, 'The devil has begun to mobilize the cart and are preparing' was his last sentence, and it was because he saw the two of us here, so he didn't say the most important words." So, what did the devils do when they mobilized the carts, and what were they going to do? I think it was the same thing I just said, that the carts were mobilized to load grain, but the grain was not yet ripe, so it was just preparations in advance. ”

"This ......" The young man was just about to speak, but when he saw Director Wang give him a blank look, he stopped again.

"Hmph," Director Wang glanced at Qiao Xiaojing disdainfully, and said coldly, "It's far-fetched, isn't it possible for the devil to mobilize the cart to transport the devil, and the work he is preparing to do can't be to gather the team to go south, who said that the devil's cart can only transport grain, and who said that what the devil is preparing to do is to grab the food of the people?"

"Of course," Qiao Xiaojing said, "the benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise." Before it happens or is clear, it can be said in any way, and it is possible to be true in any opinion, but in the end there is only one truth. I'm short-sighted, but I still think that what the devil did was to rob the people of their food, and then transport the looted food to the southern front. ”

"Even so. Director Wang was still cold, and seemed to disdain to argue with Qiao Xiaojing.

"Forget it," Ah Zi tugged Qiao Xiaojing's sleeve, "The person is a big director, we are just ignorant women from the countryside, with no name and no money, how can people take care of us, don't be bored here." ”

"Say no more. Qiao Xiaojing glared at Ah Zi, not wanting Ah Zi to say any more--- after all, Ah Zi's words did not help to break the deadlock, on the contrary, it was possible that the two sides would collapse and become prisoners completely.

"I want to say," Ah Zi said angrily, "We are with a sincere heart, and we want to talk openly and honestly with others, but if you look at people's attitudes, they are neither lukewarm nor hot, neither yin nor yang, this is simply a hot face and a cold ass." Why do we need to be low here, people don't want to see us, let's go. ”

"Presumptuous, what do you think this place is, it's actually ......" The young man really couldn't listen to it anymore, and pointed at Ah Zi and wanted to get angry, but was interrupted by a look from Director Wang.

"Okay, okay," Qiao Xiaojing patted Ah Zi lightly and said with a smile, "Why bother to be angry? People are the same as us, they are all revolutionary soldiers of the Anti-Japanese War, so you don't have to worry about this." Qiao Xiaojing looked at "Director Wang" and smiled.

"Okay," Director Wang squinted at Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi, and said lightly, "Ming people don't say secret words, we are indeed an anti-Japanese team, we only hate people with few people and small strength, and we can't kill all the devils." When you two come here, I don't think you're going to go to a relative, at least not a country woman, so let's be clear, what advice do you have?"

"We very much admire the people who raised the banner of the uprising to resist Japan, they are all the backbone of the country, they are all backbone and dignified Chinese, and you are too. Qiao Xiaojing's face showed a look of sincere respect.

"Don't talk about it, talk about the two of you, what the hell are you two doing, why did you come here?" Director Wang's train of thought almost ran away with Qiao Xiaojing's words, but his mind turned quickly, and his face became gloomy again.
