Chapter 36: Get out of pursuit
The big man escaped from the devil, originally wanted to hide in the abandoned timber factory, and when the devil couldn't leave him, he went back to the tofu factory, he felt that Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi should come back and should wait for him in the tofu factory.
It's a pity that those devils didn't give up, they found out that they were in charge of the big one, and they shot all the way to chase them, and the bullets fell on the big man from time to time, and the big man couldn't hide, so he had to run all the way, trying to get rid of the pursuit of the devils.
Even the big man himself didn't expect that the devil would chase after him, when he left the lumber factory and ran onto the street, he vaguely saw other devils running from the front, it was obvious that this was the gunfire of the devil behind him, it was the middle of the night, and the doors of each household had already tightened, which made him choose fewer and fewer routes to escape.
In fact, the tofu workshop is a good place to go, and the hiding conditions there need not be mentioned, but the big man knows in his heart that if he returns to the tofu factory, it is very likely that the secret base of the tofu workshop will be exposed, and at the same time, he will have to take the lives of the old woman, jade, and dazhi, which is something that cannot be done in any way, even if it is just close to the tofu factory.
The big man looked back, twenty or thirty meters away was a long line composed of devils and traitors, like a long dragon dancing on major festivals, and he was the person who danced the dragon, where he went, where the long dragon went, although there was a certain gap and distance between him and the long dragon, but the devils and traitors were in hot pursuit, and the sound of bullets and shouts came one after another, and did not give him the opportunity to leave, and there were more and more devils and traitors, and I don't know how many devils and traitors are coming.
In desperation, the big man could only run when he saw the road, turn around when he saw a corner, and he didn't know how long he had been running, but in the second half of the night, he actually ran near the city gate.
The big man saw a large lamp hanging on the top, glowing with yellow light, the place that could be illuminated was not large, there were only two guards on duty at the city gate, the light was dim, it was impossible to determine whether these two people were devils or traitors, nor could they see whether they were asleep or awake, let alone what kind of weapons they had in their hands......
Seeing that the devils and traitors behind him were about to arrive, and there was no road to go left and right, the big man didn't dare to think too much, let alone hesitate, he knew that he could only move forward at the moment, no matter what the result was, there was only a dead end to retreat or wander.
So the big man hurried to the city gate, and the god of luck once again favored him--- and when he went to the city with a nervous heart, the two men on duty fell asleep against the wall, and snored so loudly that the big man did not dare to hesitate, ran to the great gate, took off the latch, and with a heavy "creak" sound, the big man rushed out of the city.
I could only hear the "whoosh" bullets flying over, hitting the city walls and gates and making a "click" sound, the big man did not dare to look back, he ran straight forward, the night was dark, and soon he came to the woods outside the city, he was too familiar with this forest, he had evaded the devils many times, and this time he got into the woods as before.
The two sleeping guards were awakened by the sound of gunfire, and in their panic they were bumping around like headless flies, and the two sighed puzzledly: "What's the matter? What's going on? Could it be that the Eighth Route Army is coming? What happened......
"What about people?" Just when the two traitors were about to flee in a hurry, the devils and traitors who were chasing the big ones had already come to the gate of the city, and when they saw the people on duty panicking, one of the devils with a command knife roared angrily.
"Taijun," the two guards on duty trembled, their eyes were foggy, and they didn't know what was going on, and one of them said timidly, "Taijun is angry, I don't know who you are asking?"
"Baga!" The devil officer, holding a command knife in his left hand, stuck the tip of the knife on the ground, picked up his right hand, slapped the traitor who asked him fiercely, and roared, "What about the person who ran over just now?
The beaten traitor covered his face and said, "No, no one!"
"Yes, Taijun, there is indeed no one. Another traitor on duty also thought that no one had escaped from this gate.
The devil officer was so angry that he almost exploded, raised his hand, and was about to slap this guy who lied without blinking, but was interrupted by a devil who hurried over, only to see this person say a few words to the devil officer, and then withdrew from the crowd, the devil officer tilted his head and glanced at the unclosed city gate, his eyes were full of cold murderous aura.
"Baga," when the devil officer once again set his eyes on the two traitors guarding the city gate, he tightly grasped the handle of the command knife with both hands, glared at the two traitors and reprimanded, "You two are here to guard the city gate, not to sleep, dereliction of duty, slack work, deceived my Japanese Imperial Army, ruined the important affairs of the Imperial Army, what do you want?"
As soon as the words fell, I saw the devil officer's command knife wave, a cold light passed, and one of the traitors who was responsible for guarding the city gate fell to the ground, and the other traitor knelt on the ground, kowtowing and shaking, wanting to beg the devil to spare his life, but the devil officer's command knife was inserted into his heart, and the two traitors who fell to the ground twitched a few times and then stopped moving.
Everyone present, including the devil, was immediately shocked by the devil officer's move, and their eyes were all focused on the devil officer, and they forgot to continue to pursue the big man.
The big man took advantage of the night to hide in the jungle, in order to get rid of the devils and traitors who were chasing after him, he didn't dare to stop at all, and he didn't care about the situation under his feet, so he ran forward with one high foot and one low foot.
After about a quarter of an hour, he found that there was no more gunfire behind him, and no sound of speech or footsteps could be heard, so he stopped and listened carefully to the movement around him, and when he was sure that there was no movement of the enemy, he pondered a little, and then returned to the woods, he wanted to see what the devils and traitors were doing, and wanted to know how many men and horses the devils and traitors had dispatched......
The big man quietly hid in the edge of the forest, less than ten steps away from a dirt road, but still did not hear anything, he did not dare to go further, he was afraid that the devil and the traitor were standing on the road, looking at the forest, a gun was facing it, as long as he came up, he was likely to become the target of the public.
In the absence of any other way, the big man thought of going up to a tree, if he could hide in a big tree, condescendingly, everything would be seen clearly as far as the light could see, he thought of this, looked left and right, grabbed a big tree and climbed up, not at all because he was tall and fat, but like a smart monkey.
In the blink of an eye, the big man had climbed to the branch of a big tree, and at this time he finally heard the voice and footsteps of the devil and the traitor, he squatted on the branch, looked at the sound, and saw the black and oppressive devils and traitors gushing out of the city gate like a flood that burst the embankment, and quickly spread out of the city.
"Taijun," a traitor said to the devil officer, "that Tubalu is likely to hide in the forest, such a large forest, there is no suspicion of chasing a person hiding in the middle of the needle in a haystack, and besides, the sky is dark, it is difficult, it is difficult to have results." ”
The devil officer came to the forest, once again stuck the command knife on the ground, put his hands on it, looked at the dark jungle in front of him, silent, the other officers and soldiers stopped moving, all kinds of sounds disappeared, everything fell silent because of the silence of the devil officer, and even the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
These bastards neither enter the forest nor leave, they don't know what bad ideas they are holding, and the big man squatting on the tree stares motionlessly at the group of inhumane guys in front of him, puzzled.
Suddenly, the devil officer picked up his command knife, pointed its tip straight at the jungle, and let out a roar, breaking the deathly silence.
At the same time, a devil commanded in broken Chinese: "Shoot!"
In an instant, dozens of guns were aimed at the forest at the same time, and the bullets flew into the jungle like fiery snakes, raining down on the trees, the guns thundered, and the branches flew wildly......
Oh my God, I had climbed the tree, and if I had stayed at the edge of the woods, this line of bullets would have beaten people into a sieve before they had time to feel the pain, and the big man took a deep breath and thought so.
"Alright!" The bullets in the guns of the devil and the traitor were almost finished, when a devil roared, and the gunfire stopped.
The devil officer shook his head helplessly, and took the lead in the direction of the city gate, the other devils followed, and the traitors stood on both sides, and when the devils were finished, they followed the devils and went to the city.
With a heavy closing of the door, the big man saw that all the devils and traitors outside the city had withdrawn, and everything became empty again, and gloom, silence and loneliness once again became the key words of the environment in which the big man lived.
"I don't know," the big man sat on the branch, leaning back against a thick branch, looking at the faint starry sky, and muttered to himself, "Have Team Leader Qiao and Ah Zi returned to the tofu workshop, and what are they doing now......
The night faded, the sky shone slightly, and everything in the deep ditch became very pure, as if it had been washed by water.
Qiao Xiaojing had already woken up, in order not to affect Ah Zi's rest, she gently got off the kang and stood quietly in front of the window, the mountain wind was blowing in her face, and the hair in her ears kept flying.
---Qiao Xiaojing thought of the scene of being trapped in the dark building at night in HB Province, and thought of the scene of escorting Boss Wu to Yan'an, staying overnight in the barren mountain, Cuiyu and Boss Wu went down the mountain to find water, the night was dark, and they did not return for a long time...... Whenever a comrade-in-arms falls into danger, everyone else loses their minds to save them, even if there is no danger at all. It was because of her sanity and calmness that she almost caused the team to fall apart--- and now she has encountered such a situation, I hope this time there will be no more quarrels and disagreements from before......
No matter what you have to leave here today, no matter who these inexplicable people are, and whether you can find the mysterious person who always delivers notes at critical moments, Qiao Xiaojing took a deep breath.
