"Alas," said the old man, shaking his head and sighing, "the spirit is commendable, the attitude is respectable, but the two lines of defense are impregnable, and it is a pipe dream to break through." You should see the reality of everything clearly, and you must not force it!"

These words, the old man sighed to himself, but everyone knew that they were meant for Qiao Xiaojing and them.

"The devil's two lines of defense are impregnable," Qiao Xiaojing saw that everyone was confident and united, so she made up her mind to fight and said casually, "But the real unbreakable line of defense is not a mine array, nor a firepower network composed of machine guns, but the determination of people to win the day." Human determination is the strongest weapon, a weapon that can break through any line of defense. ”

"Old man is old," said the old man, as he walked out of the house, and as he walked towards the main house, "without the spirit of your young people, you can't spend it like this anymore." Whoever wants to consume it, I can't consume it anymore anyway......"

After the old man left, although Qiao Xiaojing, Boss Wu, the eldest man and Ah Zi were all in the side room, no one knew what to say, let alone where to start, and the house fell into silence.

"There was no sound at all," said Cuiyu, who was still a sentry, came back to break the deadlock, and said, "I thought you were asleep, and you were about to come in and put out the lights! Since you haven't slept yet, why don't you talk again, how are you talking? Do you have a general idea, you might as well say it and listen to it, maybe discuss it, and you can form a complete battle plan." ”

"Brewing ......" Qiao Xiaojing said four words lightly, and then her mouth was half open but she didn't say it for a long time.

"I don't know why," Ah Zi sighed, "Suddenly, the two of them were empty, and they couldn't think of anything." ”

"In that case," said Jade, "don't think about anything anymore, let your mind relax, get some rest, wake up from a good sleep, and maybe all kinds of clever ways can be figured out." To be honest, I haven't had a good rest since I came to this town, and even a machine can't keep it spinning, let alone a human, and it has to stop and rest. ”

Including Boss Wu, everyone agreed with Cuiyu's suggestion to rest temporarily, so Qiao Xiaojing arranged to be on duty, and then made the floor and the bed, and in less than a moment, the earth-shattering snoring of the big man was heard......

The next morning, the old man got up early, and he began to chop wood in the yard and prepare for the fire to cook.

Qiao Xiaojing and the others were awakened by the sound of chopping wood, and they all got up one after another, and after freshening up, Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi helped the old man to light the fire, and the big one replaced Cuiyu to stand guard, and a new day began.

"To say," the old man was busy on the stove, and said to Qiao Xiaojing who was burning the fire with a smile, "It's time for you to come, you don't lack anything at the moment, and you won't be wronged too much." Soon after the grain came down, there was no need to worry about food and drink for the time being; the weather was not very cold, and you could still rest for the time being; it was also very convenient to collect firewood and make fires, and the grass and trees on the mountains had dried up, so as long as you were diligent, there were a lot of these things! ”

"Uncle," Qiao Xiaojing said, "Look at what you are talking about, we can have a place to rest, we can have food to continue our lives, this is all your great mercy and compassion, how dare you have other extravagances? Besides, we are the children of the toiling masses, not the green forest where the grass is falling, nor the robbers who rob houses, we dare not pay attention to food and housing, and now we are all satisfied!"

"I can see that," the old man nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "you are different from others, you are indeed a group of people who want to do great things, and you are indeed people who can do great things." From now on, you will live with me for as long as you want, and I will do my best to do whatever you need me to do as a bad old man. ”

"Uncle," the old man's words touched Qiao Xiaojing's heart, she felt a warm current inadvertently integrated into her blood and bone marrow, and now it was flowing all over her body, she said excitedly, "You are so good to us! Just for your care for us, we must also make a little achievement to repay you and fellow villagers like you for raising us!"

Subsequently, Qiao Xiaojing fell into deep thought, she must find a way to get rid of the devils outside the town, she must blow up the devils' tunnels, and the people here must not be allowed to live in a state of fear and decline all day long, and they still have the great ambition to be tortured......

"I'm really sorry for you," in the devil's tunnel, next to a blood-dripping pillar, a devil was saying to Dazhi tied to the pillar in a mocking tone, "It's been two days since you've been here, and no one has come to rescue you, even if it's just pretending, cousin feelings, or symbolic comfort, so that you can feel that they haven't forgotten you, but their ability is limited and they can't rescue you from here...... Sadly, as I see it. ”

"I said," said the great ambition with a dying breath, "I am a debtor, a businessman with a lot of debts, and now I have come to chase and kill my enemies, how can it be that someone will come to save me?"

"What a heroic man Shao Zuo," said the devil, "with his great political acumen and insight, I can't believe that there was a misjudgment in you." He used to boast about the mouth of the sea, and in front of them he said that in twenty-four hours we would see your accomplices, the self-righteous ones, and send them to hell with you. Now it seems that the horse has lost its front hooves and has lost its eyes, and you can only go to the Hades Palace alone to report. ”

"Since," said the great ambition with a dying breath, "you know everything, then don't, don't have any illusions about me, about me, I, I don't have any hope for myself, any illusions." ”

"What do you mean......" The devil stood sideways in front of Dazhi and put his ear close to Dazhi's mouth.

"Kill, kill me, kill me......" Dazhi said to the devil.

"You are so anxious to die," said the devil, "according to Shaozo, you are on the verge of collapse. But for me, I think there's another possibility, that you just want to find relief, not just from physical pain, but more importantly from the torment of the mind and mind. You hope that someone will come to your rescue and get out of this situation, but at the same time you are afraid that someone will risk coming to your rescue, and you are afraid that because of you, your companions who do not know whether they are alive or dead will fall into passivity, or even suffer the fate of being completely annihilated. You are conflicted, overwhelmed, and at a loss, which is why you are in a hurry to die, and you want to die. Isn't that right?"

"I," Dazhi shook his head slightly, "I, I don't know what you're talking about." ”

"Hmph," said the devil, "but I know what you're talking about, and tell you, the more anxious you are to die, the less we will let you die so easily." I now think that Shao Zuo's words still seem to have some truth......"

"You are really affectionate and righteous," said the old man, "and it is not that you have to repay the favor by eating a few bites." We countrymen don't pay attention to so much, and when we meet, we have a few bites of food, what is there to be grateful for? Villagers, most of the year, have nothing to eat. It's okay now, after all, not long after the grain comes down, firewood is all over the mountains, and you can cook with a few handfuls of fire. The family is poor, there is nothing to eat, there are fewer vegetables and vegetables, and there is even less meat. ”

"What did you just say......" Qiao Xiaojing stood up suddenly, with a look like she had just woken up from a big dream, her eyes were shining, staring at the old man, and she didn't say anything for a long time.

"What did I say?" The old man was frightened by Qiao Xiaojing's abnormal behavior, and said timidly, "I didn't say anything, what are you, what's wrong?" I saw that when the old man spoke, the wrinkles at the corners of his mouth were about to be superimposed.

"Chai He is all over the mountains," Qiao Xiaojing said excitedly, "Did you say that? Now, it is really full of Chai He?"

"Yes," said the old man, putting down the spoon in his hand, wiping the water from his hand with the placket of his coat, "this season is like this, the grass and trees on the mountains are beginning to wither, is there anything wrong with this?

"Great! Great! You are really our savior!" The firewood in the stove fell to the ground, Qiao Xiaojing didn't have time to pick it up, and ran out of the kitchen in ecstasy and ran towards the side house where she lived.

"It's strange, the word Chai He has such a big reaction, I've seen people who can't mention mice, can't mention long worms, and I really haven't seen people who can't mention Chai He, but it's really ......" The old man stood at the door and looked at Qiao Xiaojing, the muscles on his face twitched.

"Boss Wu," Qiao Xiaojing rushed into the room and said excitedly when she saw Boss Wu reading, "I thought of it, I thought of a good way." ”

"Okay, let's hear it. ”

"Fire attack. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Fire attack?" Cuiyu, who was sleeping, was woken up by Qiao Xiaojing, and when she heard the word "fire attack", she suddenly sat up.

"Yes, it's a fire attack. Qiao Xiaojing explained, "We have few people and small strength, and if we want to attack the devils, we can't reach the entrance of the devil's tunnel at all, and we can't deal a fatal blow to the devils." So what to do? We have to find a way to get close to the devil tunnel. If you want to get close to the devil's tunnel, you must find a way to solve the devil's two lines of defense. Judging from our current forces, playing cards in a conventional way, as you know, it is impossible to solve any line of defense of the devils. ”

"So, you suggest fire attack. Boss Wu looked at Qiao Xiaojing.

"Yes. Qiao Xiaojing said, "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, everything is gradually decaying, the grass and trees are all drying up, and the devil's tunnel is located at the bottom of the mountain.

"Hmm......" Boss Wu looked serious and nodded, as if he felt that what Qiao Xiaojing said was reasonable.

"What are you talking about?" Ah Zi happened to come back from collecting firewood outside, patted the dust on his body and walked into the house, seeing Boss Wu's serious expression, Qiao Xiaojing's face was full of joy, and Jade was vaguely confused, so he asked, "Can't you let me listen to it too?"

"You came back just in time," Boss Wu looked at Ah Zi and said, "Let me ask you, can you light a fire on the mountain now?"

"Igniting a fire?" Ah Zi was shocked and said puzzled, "Don't be kidding, the grass and trees on the mountain are all dry, and there is a big drought, and the fire prevention is not in a hurry, how dare you light a fire?"

"Okay," Boss Wu said to Qiao Xiaojing, "Your idea is good, I think it's feasible." ”

"What's the idea?" Zi looked at you.

No one answered, just laughed.
