readx;? Qiao Xiaojing and the team members lay in the weeds by the river, their eyes fixed on the other side of the river. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The idle sun stood on the mountain in the west, looking back at the river in front of Qiao Xiaojing and them, the water was red as if it was burning. Everyone's eyes were a little dry, but they were still strongly drawn by the sound of gunfire, and they stared hard at the river, at the village across the river.

The sun was gone, the sky was much darker, and everyone seemed to be covered with a gray-black veil in front of them, the shape of the river was not obvious, and the scattered houses in the village were still faintly visible.

When Jade asks to leave, everyone realizes that they haven't heard a gunshot for a long time, and everyone realizes that the stone egg may have become a corpse that has been beaten into a sieve by a gun. Although many people were a little sorry and kept looking back at the village of Shidan, they still walked forward according to Qiao Xiaojing's order.

The avenue is not far from Qiao Xiaojing and them, but they can't take the avenue, because there are nearly three miles or so of the avenue that is not covered, and the team marching on such a road is bound to expose themselves to the guns of the devils, and it is easy to become a live target of the devils, so it is undoubtedly safe and wise to continue to march along the weeds by the river, but from time to time someone trips over the restless weeds.

Qiao Xiaojing's team marched for about an hour and entered a mountain col, due to the limited light, it was difficult to judge the tree cover, but it was certain that there were trees here, and they were quite strong, all kinds of insects lived in it, competing to chirp, the faint moonlight was divided into fragmented irregular fragments by the lush trees, and the surroundings seemed very quiet.

Fear and sorrow consumed a lot of physical strength of the team members, everyone saw this forest as if they saw a soft big bed, and after walking a few steps into the forest, one by one, they disregarded their dignity and lay on the somewhat damp ground, constantly admiring the good life at the moment.

In order to avoid exposing the traces, Qiao Xiaojing did not agree with Cuiyu's opinion of igniting the fire to remove moisture, the big guy ate some dry food in the dark, arranged a guard, and fell asleep leaning against the tree.

The sky was slightly bright, Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu were awakened by the cold, although it was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the temperature was still full of cold in the morning and evening, and they opened their eyes almost at the same time. The two of them were sleepy-eyed, and woke up the other partners, and everyone twisted their necks a little stiffly, stretched their lazy waists a little awkwardly, and took another step forward.

Due to the special period, coupled with the special mission, Qiao Xiaojing and they can't light a fire to cook like a normal person, and in the whole process of hurrying, almost every meal is just a little dry cake, rarely drinking water, or no water to drink, only when they encounter rivers, ditches and other places with water, they can drink happily.

Qiao Xiaojing's team chose mostly rugged and difficult mountain roads, and the team members were almost either uphill or downhill, or on the top of the mountain, and there were few flat roads, which was a safety consideration.

Like ordained ascetics, the team marched on a bare slope with heavy steps, this mountain is a typical stone mountain, there is very little soil on the stones, let alone growing crops and trees, even weeds are not suitable for growth, and from a distance it looks like a bald head that is not very round. Dazhi, who inadvertently turned his head to look down the mountain, suddenly shouted, and the rest of the people were startled by his sudden move, and hurriedly came to Dazhi's side, Dazhi shouted excitedly, "There, there", unable to say a word, and pointed to the bottom of the ditch with trembling hands. So everyone looked at his fingers, and sure enough, there was a person below who was waving something in his hand, whether it was a towel or a piece of clothing, and was greeting them.

"Stone eggs!" The stupid big man shouted with great delight.

"It's really fateful, and I escaped it. Jade was amazed at how well the stone egg could escape from the devil's gun.

"It's not easy to run for your life in a hurry, and you can find us again!" Dazhi admired the courage and determination of the stone egg.

Qiao Xiaojing nodded and agreed with everyone's statement.

Ah Zi wiped the beads of sweat from his face, his face was serious, he looked at the stone eggs coming up the mountain almost indifferently, and said to himself: "People who have no special training can find us, shouldn't trained devils be more suitable for us?"

"What do you mean, should the stone egg fall into the hands of the devil?" Hearing Ah Zi's words, Cuiyu was a little anxious.

The same is true of the stupid big man and Dazhi, thinking that Ah Zi's words are not good to hear, but Qiao Xiaojing suddenly felt that Ah Zi's words woke her up, and she also pondered in her heart, that is, Shi Dan had a life to escape from the devil's gun, and no one told him the direction of the team's action, how could he accurately find the people on the move? Thinking of this, Qiao Xiaojing took a deep breath.

When everyone waited for the stone eggs, they were overjoyed, and naturally they had a greeting. Shi Dan revealed what happened to him - in order to escape the murder of the devil, he jumped into an abandoned dry well, and only climbed out in the middle of the night, and now the village is full of corpses, and he was very scared, so he sneaked out of the village, trying to find everyone, but the effort paid off, but he didn't expect to find it.

Obviously, Shi Dan's words could not dispel Qiao Xiaojing's doubts, the doubts were like several stabbed knives turning on her heart, making her uneasy, she wanted to open her mouth very, very much to find out, but she was afraid of hurting Shi Dan's heart and affecting the emotions of the big guy, Qiao Xiaojing endured it.

"Why is the stone egg missing?" When the team crossed the hillside and was about to go down the mountain, Qiao Xiaojing, who was walking in front, saw that the stone egg was gone.

He said he drank some cold water last night. The stupid answer was natural.

Just as Qiao Xiaojing was about to arrange for someone to find the stone egg, the stone egg ran over with her stomach covered, Qiao Xiaojing didn't say anything else, and led the team to continue walking down the mountain. As we walked, there was a faint sound of dogs barking in the distance.

"Do you hear a dog barking? If there is a dog, there should be someone in front of you. Shi Dan walked between the stupid big man and Ah Zi, the stupid big man behind the palace, talking to himself, seeing that no one responded, he slowed down, squeezed to the stupid big man's side, and said with a smile, "Like you, you are born to be a big hero, which is really enviable." Hey, by the way, what are we going to do? Where are we going?"

"I don't know. The stupid big man was immersed in rhetoric, and he didn't pay attention to the question of the stone egg at all, of course, he really didn't know.

Shi Dan saw that the stupid big man was not interested in his own question, so he asked Ah Zi and Dazhi in the same way, and the result was the same as the stupid big man, still the same three words, and the three words that made him extremely disappointed - "I don't know".

Shi Dan looked at Cuiyu and Qiao Xiaojing in front of him, shook his head slightly, didn't ask them, and returned to the stupid big man and Ah Zi.

Although Qiao Xiaojing didn't deliberately pay attention, the sneaky behavior of the stone egg still did not escape the eyes of Qiao Xiaojing, who was as careful as the heart, and after a while, the team arrived at a small village, which was simply a blessing from heaven for Qiao Xiaojing and them, who were in urgent need of supplemental food.

Every now and then smoke rises from the village, a little black dog and two dehaired chickens chase and play in a nutshell, and villagers in tattered clothes enter and exit the village, all signs indicate that the village is normal. However, Qiao Xiaojing, who was very vigilant, still ordered the team to stop advancing, and arranged for Cuiyu to pretend to be a village girl who went to visit relatives to enter the village to investigate, and the rest of the people were on standby in a depression on the edge of the village.

At this time, Qiao Xiaojing called Ah Zi forward, and the two whispered, the more suspicious they became about the stone egg.

Jade confirmed everyone's original judgment that there was indeed no anomaly in the village. In order not to be dazzling, the team was divided into three groups, Qiao Xiaojing and Silly Big One, Cuiyu and Dazhi Group, Ah Zi and Shidan Group, and entered the village one after another.

Perhaps because of its mountainous location, there are not many households in this village, at most twenty or thirty households, and the steps at the entrance of each house are made of irregular stones, the roads are potholes, the houses are mainly adobe houses, and there are a few thatched houses, which look very simple.

Qiao Xiaojing and the others 6 continued to enter a large courtyard in the east of the village, and the courtyard wall had collapsed in many places due to disrepair, and it had become jagged. An old man was sitting under the eaves weaving a willow basket, his head was gray, his face was full of age spots, he kept shaking his head, and when he saw someone coming in, he hunched his waist and staggered to greet the guests, and his speech was slurred, obviously old. Maybe it was because she heard someone talking in the yard, an old lady walked out of the house on crutches, the old lady was much more energetic than the old man, probably because of her small feet, and her walking was a little unsteady.

Qiao Xiaojing briefly introduced her team, and the two old men invited them into the house with tears in their eyes.

After some conversation, the old man said the eternal pain in his heart - the old man originally had two sons, the eldest son was married, and he had a young grandson. Two years ago, the youngest grandson had lung disease, and he had to go to the city to seek medical treatment after a long treatment. When the youngest son learned the bad news, he wanted to reason with the devil, but in the end, he would inevitably be poisoned......

Jackals, jackals stained with blood, in the blink of an eye, four fresh lives were mutilated for no reason in seconds!

Everyone who heard about this tragedy gritted their teeth and was filled with righteous indignation, hating to disembowel out the devil and eat it alive.

The old grandmother sighed, brought the food on crutches, and just as everyone was about to eat, Dazhi, who was guarding outside the village, rushed into the room panting, and said hurriedly: "Coming, coming......"

"Slow down, what's coming?" Qiao Xiaojing desperately wanted to know the answer. Everyone stood up, their bell-like eyes fixed on Dazhi's mouth.

"Devils, there are a dozen devils, and heavy machine guns. As Dazhi spoke, he kept panting, took a sharp breath and said, "It must have come for us, they were running towards the village." ”

"Fight with these bastards. Shi Dan picked up the latch of the old man's door and prepared to rush out.

"You don't want to live, and you can't even affect the villagers, right?" Qiao Xiaojing angrily scolded Shi Dan, and everyone quieted down.

Qiao Xiaojing bit her lip and paced on the ground, thinking about countermeasures. Suddenly, she said to everyone: "Let's get out of this courtyard quickly, go out of the village, don't fight the devils, but let the devils see us, lure the devils out of the village, and wait for the opportunity to destroy these beasts." ”

The stupid big one can eat it, and when he left, he put the old man's tortillas into his baggage.

The devil was running towards the village, full of bird songs, seeing Qiao Xiaojing and them evacuating, they desperately chased after them, and bullets flew like tongues of fire from the top of Qiao Xiaojing's heads and ears from time to time.

The stupid big man dragged the stone egg and ran hard.

Because the devil chased after him like a mad dog, he gradually narrowed the distance between him and Qiao Xiaojing.

When the old woman heard the gunshots, she hurriedly knelt down in front of the Bodhisattva statue on the table and prayed earnestly: "Just open your eyes! Let the little devils go to hell! Bless the children and let them be safe and ......."

The gunshots continued to pierce people's hearts.
