The monkey trick achieved gratifying results, making it difficult for the devils in the city to cope with their lives, highlighting their lack of troops, forcing them to change their original deployment and abandon the routine of patrolling behind the guerrillas all day.

Qiao Xiaojing was naturally overjoyed to learn that the devil regarded the monkey tactics as a "smoke bomb and ignore it", and the devil relaxed his vigilance must have created good conditions for the smooth development of the autumn grain protection work.

"Despite this, we should not take it lightly, the devil's southern line is in short supply, and it is inevitable to mobilize materials from the north, and the people will not send food to the devils, these beasts will come hard, and we are still under a lot of pressure!" Qiao Xiaojing expressed her worries.

"Who says it's not? The devil said that our actions were smoke bombs and ignored us, and it is hard to say that this is not a smoke bomb that the devil put on us!" Cuiyu was also worried.

"For the time being, there is no other good way, but to take one step at a time. Ah Zi looked helpless.

"Wicked men are treacherous, cunning, insidious and vicious, they are scheming, they are good at calculating others, and if they do not know their plans, they can only sit and wait for news, and they may well fall into the trap set by these beasts. Qiao Xiaojing was very melancholy.

The big guys listened to Qiao Xiaojing's words, and they all sighed, and the empty space in the room became a lot more solemn.

If a man has no foresight, he will have near-term worries, and a fool will have a thousand worries. Obviously, Qiao Xiaojing is right, in the face of the complex revolutionary situation, blind optimism can only cost lives, and calm and rational can make progress.

Everyone at the meeting had gloomy faces, some shrunk their brows, some bit their lips, some looked at the beams, some drooped their heads, and everyone's hearts seemed to be blocked by stones, both anxious and helpless.

"Since there is no good plan for the time being, let's organize learning!" Qiao Xiaojing felt that the atmosphere of loss could not spread within the team, only learning could make everyone regain the belief that they would win, she took out a book brought by someone from the cabinet from Yan'an, the red holy land, and handed it to Cuiyu.

Qiao Xiaojing stood up and said to everyone with a smile: "Don't worry, the more difficult times than the current predicament have passed, this is nothing, we will definitely come up with a way to completely destroy the devil's plan to grab food." ”

Then, Qiao Xiaojing pulled Cuiyu's sleeve and went to the tofu shop through the secret door together, although they didn't know how to deal with the devils, they couldn't do nothing, they could help "Sai Xishi" grind beans.

In fact, grinding beans has always been a daily task that the guerrillas must do, and it is absolutely impossible to rely on the old woman to grind beans, make tofu, and sell tofu by herself to sustain the lives of twenty people.

Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu walked into the mill, Qiao Xiaojing pushed the grinding, Cuiyu kept pouring beans on the grinding plate, the two of them were like machines doing skillful movements, silent, and the yellowed soybean milk in white flowed quietly along the mill plate......

Qiao Xiaojing stopped suddenly, her feet seemed to be glued, and Jade almost hit her.

"What's wrong? I feel like I've lost my soul. Cuiyu was taken aback by Qiao Xiaojing's sudden reaction.

"You say, what are the devils doing now?" Qiao Xiaojing suddenly turned her head to look at Cuiyu.

"How do I know, maybe the devil is planning to find us, tie us up at the execution ground, kill them and then kill them quickly. Jade placed the spoon containing the beans into the sauce-colored vat containing the beans.

"The devils are not moving, but they are calm on the surface, but in fact they are brewing a big move to destroy us. If we keep harassing, they won't be able to concentrate on getting food. Qiao Xiaojing thinks that the devil is waiting to fight back.

"The autumn harvest is coming, and the devil doesn't make any moves, which is really impossible. Cuiyu agreed with Qiao Xiaojing's analysis.

"What will the devil do?" Qiao Xiaojing folded her arms in front of her chest and paced back and forth in the room.

"Nizi, there's a letter from my hometown. At this moment, the old woman selling tofu walked in and handed Qiao Xiaojing a note.

After all, the situation is uneasy, and inappropriate words can lead to death, and the old woman's words are secret words, in order to hide people's eyes and ears.

Qiao Xiaojing took the note and opened it to see that there were only eight large characters on it: "Lure the enemy to dispatch and destroy it all the way".

"That's a good idea, auntie, who gave you this note. Qiao Xiaojing was very happy to get a good plan.

"A middle-aged man, tall and big, like a teacher. The old woman responded.

"What about people?" Qiao Xiaojing looked at the note, her eyes lit up, and she wanted to ask for advice in person.

"I left, bought two catties of tofu, and when I gave the money, I took this note with a smile, smiled and turned around and left. However, this man was very careful, and he wandered around the tofu shop for at least twenty minutes, as if looking for someone, before finally giving me the note. "The old woman was always smiling when she spoke, and she smiled brightly, giving a very warm feeling.

"Then do you know who he is?" Qiao Xiaojing wanted to know who the person who sent the note was.

"I don't know, but it should be a good person, maybe my own people. The old woman nodded as she spoke.

Qiao Xiaojing also smiled and nodded, and the old woman turned around and went out to sell tofu.

"Those who are aware of the current situation, except for the devils, are us. If this note was sent by the devil, it means that the devil knows where we are hiding, so why not catch us all?" Qiao Xiaojing seemed to be talking to herself.

"How could it be? If the devils knew we were here, they wouldn't have sent us a note, but would have taken us straight to Marx with guns and knives. Jade thinks this can't be a devil's conspiracy.

"That's your own person, who can it be?" Qiao Xiaojing stared at the note with only eight words and said, "It's impossible for our internal people, other party organizations just want to help us, how do they know about the situation?"

"You suspect there's something wrong with this?" said Jade, pointing to the note.

If the devil is throwing stones to ask for directions, and we rashly follow the plan, won't we fall into the trap? The consequences will be unimaginable. Wouldn't it be a pity if someone gave us guidance and missed the opportunity?" This note made Qiao Xiaojing happy and worried, and fell into a dilemma, difficult to choose.

"The result?" Cuiyu wanted to know Qiao Xiaojing's final decision

"Let me think about it, let me think about it......" Qiao Xiaojing's heart was full of contradictions.

As a person shouldering a major mission, any decision may lead to the failure of the task, so that the efforts and efforts are in vain, who can make hasty judgments in the face of major decisions, and regard the interests of the people, the lives of comrades-in-arms and the revolutionary cause as child's play?

Qiao Xiaojing got the eight-character note, and it was difficult to make a choice for a while, so she locked herself in the room, did not eat lunch or dinner, fidgeting in the room, walking back and forth, and her heart seemed to weigh a thousand catties.

Cuiyu, Ah Zi and Qiao Xiaojing are comrades-in-arms in distress, they get along day and night, they understand Qiao Xiaojing, they know how much pressure Qiao Xiaojing is under, and they want to go in and solve it several times, but they give up because it affects Qiao Xiaojing's thinking.

The sun set, the yard became dark, Qiao Xiaojing lit the lamp and didn't go out.

Nine o'clock passed, and through the window, with the help of the light, it was not difficult to see Qiao Xiaojing's figure walking around the room.

Ten o'clock passed, and Qiao Xiaojing was still walking around the room, her figure sometimes lengthened and sometimes shortened by the light.

This picture makes people feel lonely, sour, and mixed with a little pity.

"I'm sorry, I think I was so involved in things that I forgot to look at the time. In the middle of the night, Qiao Xiaojing went out and saw Cuiyu and Ah Zi standing in the courtyard, a little embarrassed.

Cuiyu and Ah Zi didn't say anything, ran over with tears in their eyes, and hugged Qiao Xiaojing tightly.

"Figured it out?" After the three of them recovered emotionally, Cuiyu asked Qiao Xiaojing.

"Figured it out. Qiao Xiaojing shook her fist, full of confidence.

"What should we do?" Ah Zi was very concerned about the specific plan of action for the next step.

"Lure the enemy out and destroy him all the way. Qiao Xiaojing's attitude was very firm.

"Can you tell me why?" Cuiyu wanted to know what made Qiao Xiaojing make up her mind.

"Quite simply, we are more autonomous than the devils, we can show up at any time, and we can hide at any time. The poor people are our backing, they can provide us with accurate information, we can make our actions targeted, and we can also provide us with hiding places, but the devil cannot have such treatment. Qiao Xiaojing did not answer Cuiyu's question directly.

"Now that we've made up our minds, let's talk about our next course of action!" Ah Zi fully trusted Qiao Xiaojing's decision, and she believed that Qiao Xiaojing had a mature response after thinking hard.

"Since the devils have responded to all changes with the same attitude, regained control of passivity, and adjusted their own deployment, we cannot wait for the devils to complete their adjustment and transformation, what should we do? The only way to do this is to take the initiative and give the devils a monkey trick again, and the scope should not be too large, so we should choose three or four villages, and we must have rules in our actions, and this law must be mastered by the devils to lure them into action. Once the devils are dispatched, our tactics will be considered successful. Qiao Xiaojing took out a pen and paper, and gestured while talking.

"What if the devil doesn't come out?" Ah Zi felt that this method was a bit wishful thinking.

"That means that our bait is not in place, and we have not been able to break through the defense line in the devil's heart. Obviously, Qiao Xiaojing has already made a judgment on the mysterious note, and firmly believes in the strategy of "luring the enemy to dispatch and destroy his way".

Next, Qiao Xiaojing, Cuiyu and Ah Zi no longer discussed the source of the note, but began to discuss Qiao Xiaojing's idea of "implementing monkey tactics on a small scale and luring devils to dispatch" and formulate specific measures.

The next day, Qiao Xiaojing arranged for more than ten guerrillas such as Ah Zi, Dazhi, and Qiao Shuangxi to go to the village where Uncle Wu was located in the northern suburbs...... This move caused a positive response among the people, and of course the news quickly reached the ears of the devils.

Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu took the rest of the guerrillas to Xigou, which was not far from the county seat, but whenever they met the villagers, they all talked and laughed and talked about revolutionary ideas, not at all like living in an enemy-occupied area.

The next day, Ah Zi and the others went to Uncle Wu's village in the northern suburbs to continue to propagate revolutionary ideas. Qiao Xiaojing and the others did the same, they still went to Xigou, and many villagers were ecstatic to see them as if they had seen their relatives.

The devil really couldn't hold his breath, and two patrols rushed from the county seat.
