Ah Zi has not come back for a long time from going out for research, and everyone is very worried.

"Everyone is right, if everything is normal, it should have come back a long time ago......" The big man kept walking around the yard.

At first, Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu were relatively calm, but they couldn't stand the chatter of their teammates, and they were also worried.

"Do you want to send someone out to have a look, after all, there is a shortage of soldiers. Jade was a little anxious.

"Ah Zi is smart, clever, brave and strategic, much more mature than in the past, Qiao Shuangxi is old and serious, and they should not have an accident together. Qiao Xiaojing was a little worried, but she was still very sensible.

"It's better to send someone to answer it, it's too long, we don't do anything, just sit here and wait, it's not appropriate. Jade fidgeted.

"Do you know where they are? I don't know! Rather than scurrying around like headless flies, it is better to calm down and wait patiently for them to come back. Qiao Xiaojing's patience made everyone feel a little indifferent.

"If you don't send someone out to find it, then okay, I'll go alone!" Cuiyu was a little angry.

"The autumn harvest is imminent, and the devils and traitors must ignore us, and it is better to forget our existence, so we must remain calm and rational, and of course, we must have great trust in our comrades. Qiao Xiaojing's tone was calm, but sharp.

The sky gradually darkened, and Ah Zi and they still had no news.

"Something happened, it's all over here, and I'm going to come back early. The big man grumbled impatiently.

"Yes, after all, the strength of two people is very limited, and two fists are hard to beat four hands...... We should have gone out to have a look, maybe we could help Ah Zi and them......" Cuiyu was also very pessimistic, and guilt and remorse arose.

"It would be nice if everyone's heart was the same as ours, but it's a pity that some people don't care about the life and death of their comrades once they become cold-blooded. Dazhi was obviously complaining about Qiao Xiaojing.

"Okay, maybe I'm being too selfish, but I also made the decision for the whole situation, do you think I don't want to help them? Personally, I have a deep relationship with both of them. Qiao Xiaojing felt helpless.

"It's too late to say anything, it's impossible for the lost comrades to come back, do it yourself!" Jade turned and entered the bedroom.

Suddenly, there was a strange noise in the secret door on the back wall of the utility room.

Qiao Xiaojing, Dazhi and the big man were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and then walked to the secret door.

"Oh, why are you all standing here, scare me. Ah Zi bent down and drilled through the secret door, and found Qiao Xiaojing, Dazhi and the big man hunched over, standing in front of the secret door, staring straight at her with sharp eyes, so frightened that she almost sat on the ground.

"Are you okay?" Qiao Xiaojing reached out and grabbed Ah Zi and asked with concern.

"Isn't this good? Are you waiting for us?"

Back in the house, Qiao Xiaojing poured water for Ah Zi and Qiao Shuangxi, arranged meals, and asked the older one to help in the kitchen.

"Tell me quickly, why did you come back so late, what happened?" Qiao Xiaojing brought a stool from the edge of the table, sat down next to Ah Zi and Qiao Shuangxi, and looked at Ah Zi and Qiao Shuangxi with concern.

Before Ah Zi and Qiao Shuangxi could speak, Cuiyu rushed into the house with a chatter.

"You're finally back, I thought you two were ......" Cuiyu grabbed Ah Zi's hand, paused, her eyes flashed with tears, and said with a smile, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, everyone is worried about you." ”

"Do you think we've ...... What's the matter?" Ah Zi patted Cuiyu's hand and said with a smile, "Devils and traitors don't have that ability yet, but we almost took their dogs' lives." ”

"That's great!" Jade wiped her tears and said excitedly, "I'll go cook, and I'll be fine soon, haha......"

"I'm really ashamed that I didn't do anything, but everyone was worried all day, and they had to work hard in the middle of the night. Qiao Shuangxi barely spoke much after he came back, but he didn't expect the first long sentence to be humble.

"The meal will have to be cooked for a while, so let's talk about your experience today. Qiao Xiaojing always felt that the two of them had encountered something unusual.

"Do you know who I met today, I don't think you can guess?" Ah Zi looked very mysterious.

"Could it be that Hui Rushen, that big traitor?" Qiao Xiaojing was not sure.

"It's too far off. Ah Zi smiled.

"Could it be that Ishihara Jihei, that bastard?"

"No, no, no, it's even worse. Ah Zi shook his head.

"Okay, stop making me guess, stop selling off. ”

"I knew you wouldn't have guessed. When I saw him, I was stunned, I couldn't believe my eyes, and I thought there was something wrong with my eyes or nerves?"

"Hurry up, who did you meet?" Qiao Xiaojing was also anxious.

"Fugen, Fugen of Xiaomulou. Ah Zi had a childlike mischievous expression on her face.

"Why, where did you see him?" Qiao Xiaojing was surprised. Suddenly, she stood up, frowned and asked Ah Zi, "No, Cuiyu and I have never told you about Fugen, and you have never seen him, how can you know him?"

"The main reason why I was able to meet Fugen was because of you. Back then, you came to the small mountain village and explained to Captain Wang what happened to you, but of course Captain Wang only mentioned it and didn't give me details. Later, when you applied to join the party, the party committee had to review your past, and this important task was given to me, and at that time, the drunken house no longer existed, and I went to the small wooden building ......"

"I didn't expect it to be like this. I remember that before we left the small wooden building, Fugen became addicted to drugs, and he always hid in the bedroom on weekdays, and he didn't want to talk to people at all, so why ...... you" Qiao Xiaojing still couldn't believe what Ah Zi said.

"Do you want to say that Fugen is an addict, he doesn't want to see anything except opium, how can he see me?" Ah Zi said along Qiao Xiaojing's train of thought.

"When he was in Xiaomulou, he didn't want to come to eat when it was time to eat. Qiao Xiaojing sighed.

"Coincidentally, I went to the small wooden building several times in vain, and I didn't enter the courtyard directly, I was disheartened at the time, and I just wanted to make one last attempt, this time the courtyard door was opened, and I saw Fugen. Ah Zi laughed when she said this.

"What are you laughing at?" Qiao Xiaojing was puzzled.

"You don't see how embarrassed he was at the time, his pants were torn by the devils......" Jade smiled from ear to ear.

"I see, you helped him, and he told you about our situation in return for his kindness. Qiao Xiaojing nodded.

"That's right, he told me a lot, and mentioned that you had helped him get his revenge. Cuiyu saw that Qiao Xiaojing's face became solemn, so she poured her a cup of hot water, and said, "I didn't say that you were intoxicated. ”

"I don't care about these things, I just don't understand, why is he here?" Qiao Xiaojing frowned again.

"That's why we came home late. Ah Zi hesitated for a moment, then continued, "We saw Fugen at the big crossroads, he had just walked out of the smoke hall and swaggered past us. At first, I suspected that I had recognized the wrong person, so I asked Brother Qiao to inquire about the smoke house, and learned that this person was from the provincial capital, and he became a frequent visitor to the smoke house within a few days. ”

"And what happened later?" Qiao Xiaojing felt that Fugen was here for another reason.

"My gut told me that it was impossible for Fogen to come here to visit relatives and friends, so we followed him all the way, and this guy was like a wandering ghost, wandering street after street, and in the evening he followed the devil into the gendarmerie headquarters. Ah Zi said.

"Entered the Japanese Military Police Headquarters, how could he go to what kind of place?" Qiao Xiaojing was surprised.

"Who knows?" Ah Zi was also surprised.

At this time, Jade and Dazhi came in with food.

"The meal is here, the hot meal ......" Cuiyu handed the chopsticks to Ah Zi and Qiao Shuangxi, "Hurry up and eat, you must be hungry today."

"I'm a little hungry indeed. Qiao Shuangxi picked up a bowl of steaming knife-cut noodles and ate it like a wolf.

Ah Zi Siwen sat at the table, gently took a bite of shredded cold radishes, chewed, and then made a crisp sound.

Before Qiao Shuangxi could swallow the food in his mouth, he suddenly remembered something, put down the bowl, poked Ah Zi's arm, and said with the food in his mouth: "That, note, note, what about the note that the stranger gave you?"

"Almost forgetting this, we met a mysterious stranger on the way, and he gave this to us, so that we must hand it over to you. Ah Zi handed the note to Qiao Xiaojing.

Qiao Xiaojing opened the squarely folded note, on which were written twenty-four large characters with a brush:

"The enemy increased his troops, braked statically, grasped the fighters, used his troops flexibly, attacked the east and the west, and won the victory with wisdom. ”

The font on this note is familiar to Qiao Xiaojing, because the notes she received before are all in this font, but they are unfamiliar, because the person who wrote the note has not met so far, maybe they passed by, and they can't get acquainted.

"What do these words mean?" Jade took the note and looked at it, not understanding what it meant.

"Judging by the note, what we feared might be happening. Qiao Xiaojing felt very helpless.

"How so?" Jade still didn't understand.

Ah Zi and Qiao Shuangxi saw that the situation was not right, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and came over.

"We all know that the devils are fighting on multiple fronts, and the battle line is very long, and there has already been a shortage of troops, but now they have increased their troops, so what is the matter, isn't it just for the sake of food in the autumn? This also shows that the devil's supplies have been quite tight, even to the extent of extreme scarcity, otherwise this would not be the case. Qiao Xiaojing made a judgment based on the information provided in the note.

"Is the devil almost finished?" Ah Zi poked Qiao Xiaojing.

"It's understandable. Qiao Xiaojing smiled and nodded.

"Then we don't have a solution?" said the big man, a little emotional.

"Not really, we're not at the end of our rope. The note you brought back pointed out to us the strategy of the battle, and we should use static braking to look for the enemy's flaws, give full play to our flexible and changeable advantages, attack the east and west, disrupt the deployment of the devils, and achieve complete success in the work of ensuring food. Qiao Xiaojing smoothed the note and put it on the table.

The players present all agreed with Qiao Xiaojing's statement, and everyone's tightly knit brows were relaxed.

But Qiao Xiaojing's heart was still heavy, she fell into doubt again, and finally muttered to herself: "Who is the mysterious person?
