Nowadays, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the wind is warm, the road has long been dry, and the mud no longer exists.

Qiao Xiaojing and the other creepers and Ah Xiang sent the leopard, Antai and the eight of them to the foot of Hongfeng Mountain, and they separated after meeting for a few days.

The leopards are gone, and everyone's hearts seem to follow them.

Qiao Xiaojing and the others returned to the mountain with Ah Xiang, and Ah Xiang said to everyone: "Actually, all the houses and facilities on this mountain are real, including the three stone houses you have all been to, the so-called Hongfeng Village Hades Palace, which is also true, these were all purchased by bandits before. Half a year ago, a group of our men and horses transporting important strategic materials passed through this place, and were robbed and killed by bandits here, and the party organization ordered the local armed forces to clean up the bandits here, which led to our peaceful situation today. ”

"Didn't you say there was an important mission?" Qiao Xiaojing didn't care about what happened before, she cared about the present, where they were going, she said with concern, "Say, we really want to hear what important task is that must be carried out before a drill is carried out." ”

"Yes," Jade said, too, "Tell me quickly, what is the important task? You don't know, we have been in a nightmare all this time, living like years, every minute is very heavy and depressing, and sometimes I feel like I can't breathe. ”

"To tell you the truth," Ah Xiang said with a smile, "I'm like you, I don't know what the mission is until now, let's just wait patiently here, and the higher organization will send someone." ”

"Well," said the big man, "then tell us what the hell is going on with that big box?"

"What big box?" Ah Xiang looked puzzled.

"That big box you asked us to carry. The big man said excitedly.

"Oh," Xiang suddenly realized, "I remember, you are talking about the big box that you want to pack? Won't I say it? It's a drill. There is nothing magical about the box, there is nothing magical about the contents of the box, the box and the cowhide tube are bought from the villagers, just to cooperate with the exercise. ”

"What about them?" asked Dazhi, "who are they, and where are they now?"

"You're talking about those fake bandits," Ah Xiang smiled and said, "They are all pretending, they are all militia members from the nearby villages, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they left as soon as the exercise was over, and now they have all returned to their respective villages." ”

"You," Qiao Xiaojing took a deep breath and shook her head, "You can really do it, no wonder you can be a liaison." ”

"I have apologized to you," Ah Xiang said with a little embarrassment, "I am also an errand runner, and these things are not my idea, they are planned by the superior organization." You, you must understand my difficulties. ”

"I really didn't blame you this time," Qiao Xiaojing said with a smile, "On the contrary, I really approve of it, although this incident has put a lot of pressure on each of us, and it has also caused more or less damage to our hearts, but in terms of the organization and operation of this exercise, it is undoubtedly successful, and no one who knows the inside story has even noticed that this is intentional, what does this mean? It shows that you are very clever! I thought last night, if we were to do this, we would not be able to achieve such an effect." ”

"That's true!" Jade gave Ah Xiang a thumbs up.

"However," Ah Zi said with a smile, "since I have experienced this incident, I have a new understanding of Comrade Ah Xiang, that is, as long as Ah Xiang participates in matters in the future, I must be more careful, and I must not be careless anymore." ”

"Why?" everyone wondered what Ah Zi meant.

"I don't know this," Ah Zi said with a smile, "It's really, how simple it is, I'm afraid that if I am sold by Ah Xiang." ”

Everyone pointed at Ah Zi, and they were all amused by Ah Zi's words and expressions, and laughed, all the gloom and unhappiness were suddenly driven out of the clouds by this laughter, and the entire Juyi Hall was a happy and peaceful scene......

Sunrise and sunset, two days passed.

Qiao Xiaojing and they basically traveled all over Hongfeng Mountain, but they still didn't see the people sent by the superior organization that Ah Xiang said, they were originally a group of idle people, but now they always stay on the mountain and have nothing to do, and they gradually feel a little uneasy, and they went to find Ah Xiang, to their surprise, Ah Xiang was also gone, but fortunately, the baggage was still there.

"Why don't you look for it separately," Qiao Xiaojing said to everyone, "Such a big mountain, Ah Xiang walks around alone, in case of any trouble, we are not easy to face, what do you think?"

"Yes. Cuiyu said, "You wait here, I'm in a group with Ah Zi, Dazhi and the big guy in a group, let's look for it separately, it shouldn't go too far, his things are still there." ”

So Qiao Xiaojing sat alone on the threshold of the Juyi Hall and looked around, and Cuiyu and they walked into the distance.

Half an hour later, the two groups came back, but the other group didn't see Ah Xiang, and everyone couldn't help but worry.

"Nothing will happen, right?" sighed, "This time, it can't be another trap waiting for us, right?"

Everyone had lingering palpitations about what had happened before, and when Ah Zi said this, he suddenly felt uncertain and couldn't help but worry.

"No," Qiao Xiaojing said against her will in order to stabilize everyone's emotions, "Don't think nonsense, it was a drill before, a task arranged by the superior organization, how could such things happen one after another?"

"Yes," said the eldest man, who also felt that it was impossible to repeat what had happened before, "the first time the wolf is coming, everyone will get nervous, but the wolf will not come, the second time the wolf is coming, everyone will be nervous, but they still don't see the shadow of the wolf, and the third time the wolf is coming, then no one will believe it." I don't think Ah Xiang would do such a stupid thing. ”

"What a mess," Dazhi shook his head, "but the third time it seems that the wolf is really coming, what should you say?"

"This ......" The big man felt embarrassed, stammered, and couldn't speak.

"I think," Zi hesitated for a moment, "no matter what, we can't stay here for long. Ah Xiang seems to have stopped on the mountain yesterday, and we didn't see his figure today, which is not a normal situation. Either we will wait here for a day and a night, and if he is still not seen tomorrow morning, then we will go to Zhi'an Town. ”

"Back to Zhi'an Town?" Qiao Xiaojing turned her head to stare at Ah Zi.

"That's right," Ah Zi explained, "If we don't go back to Zhi'an Town, we can't stay here all the time, we will take root! If Ah Xiang doesn't come back, or if he comes out unprepared, I don't know if you can bear it, anyway, I don't have the ability to bear it." Here, I always feel unsure, as if something is going to happen. ”

"I'm not saying I won't leave here," Qiao Xiaojing patted Ah Zi lightly on the shoulder and sighed, "It's just that we can't go to Zhi'an Town anymore when we leave here, have you forgotten what Uncle Qiang said when he left the Immortal Spring Pickle Shop?"

"I remember," Dazhi said preemptively, "Uncle Qiang asked us to go back to the small mountain village directly after the mission is completed, the contact point he is in will soon be canceled, and he will be promoted to take on more important duties......"

"Oh~" Ah Zi patted his forehead and suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, yes, I remembered, I remembered, how did I forget this stubble." However, we can't always stay here, we are a special operations group--- creeper operation group, we have a mission, a responsibility, and a battlefield, but we can't bask in the sun and watch the scenery here all day long, right?"

"This ---" Qiao Xiaojing seemed to be at a loss, as the leader of the creeper team, she didn't know what to do in the face of the current predicament. After all, she has always acted according to the instructions of Uncle Qiang and Ah Xiang, and all the work tasks were given by them, and she has never been in direct contact with the superior organization, and now she doesn't know how to get in touch with the superior organization.

"Why," said the man with a sudden voice, "isn't it good to bask in the sun and see the scenery?"

Qiao Xiaojing and they stood up suddenly, their eyes were all on the door, and now a middle-aged man walked in with a smile, everyone was surprised, I don't know why he is here, let alone why he came.

"What's wrong?" the middle-aged man asked, "Why do you look at me like that? Do I have dirty things on my face?"

"Are you ......" The Creeper team did not answer the man's words, Qiao Xiaojing asked tentatively.

"I'm here specifically for you," the man said, "although we haven't met, but I know you, you have done a lot of great things, Uncle Qiang and Ah Xiang have told me about your deeds, don't say, you are really not simple!"

"This gentleman," Qiao Xiaojing was a little confused, glanced at her companions, and then asked, "We really haven't met, I don't know what you call it, how did you come here?" I heard you talk about Uncle Qiang and Ah Xiang just now, then you should know Ah Xiang's whereabouts, can you tell us where he is now?"

"I'm still in a hurry," the man smiled, "I'm sorry, let me introduce myself first, my surname is Liu, you can just call me Mr. Liu." I'm here specifically to give a new task, and I was relieved to leave this matter to Ah Xiang, but I've been hearing about your deeds and names, but it's hard to meet you, so I'm here in person today. It's a little abrupt, abrupt. ”

"Hello Mr. Liu!" all the members of the Creeper team greeted the man in front of them in unison.

"You're here to give a new mission," Qiao Xiaojing glanced outside the hall and asked puzzledly, "But, where did Ah Xiang go?"

"Ah Xiang," said Mr. Liu, "he's going to pick up someone, and he'll be there soon." Your task is simple to say, that is, to personally escort the people brought by Ah Xiang to Yan'an, but this task is not easy to do, and any problems may be encountered, which is why before you carry out this new mission, a headless exercise was suddenly held. ”

"Who is this person?" Qiao Xiaojing then asked.

"This person's identity is extremely important," Mr. Liu said seriously, "It's not that I don't trust you, according to the organizational principles and discipline, I can't tell you." As long as you know that this person is very important, no matter what happens, you must make sure that this person is safe and that there is no mistake in the slightest. ”

"Oh!" all the members of the creeper group nodded, and it was inconvenient to ask anything more.

"I'll be out tonight," said Mr. Liu, "I've already prepared for you, so I'll be on the road with peace of mind!"

"Yes!" all the members of the creeper group replied in a loud voice.
