Chapter 70: The Devil's Movements
"Say, don't you have a number in your head?" Everyone gathered around Qiao Xiaojing, their eyes were staring at Qiao Xiaojing, and Qiao Xiaojing didn't open his mouth to speak for a long time, and Boss Wu, who had always been calm, was also a little anxious.
"How to deal with devils," Qiao Xiaojing said, "I do know it in my heart, but this also requires the cooperation of devils." ”
"You want the devil to cooperate with us," Ah Zi blurted out quickly, "Isn't it crazy? The devil wants to kill all people like us, how can he cooperate with us, I think you are either confused, or you are talking in your dreams." ”
"Ah Zi," Cuiyu reprimanded, "how can you talk to the captain? There are no rules at all, you can open your mouth and say whatever you want, never brainstorming." It's like you know you're in a hurry, aren't we in a hurry? No matter how anxious we are, we have to let the captain tell her what she thinks, and we'll listen to it first. Before the words were finished, they chattered endlessly, which was so unusual!"
Ah Zi was very surprised by Cuiyu's attitude, although she had also criticized her in the past, but her words had never been so harsh, what was wrong this time, why did she get so angry? After thinking about it, she understood that the reason why Cuiyu said this was not only for her alone, but also more or less side-knocking, she wanted to remind everyone, including Boss Wu, that in terms of decision-making on major events, we must see the importance of Qiao Xiaojing, the team leader, and at least respect her.
Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu have been together for the longest time, and the two have always had a tacit understanding, for Cuiyu's words, Qiao Xiaojing naturally understood her deep meaning, and even understood her intentions, so she did not stop Cuiyu from saying all the things she was going to say.
"Yes, yes," Ah Zi bowed her head and said, "Sister Cuiyu criticized me very much, I was open-mouthed, I didn't have a long brain when I spoke, I didn't have a big or small voice, I was wrong." Please rest assured, no matter what happens in the future, I will pay attention to the rules and proportions. Now can you ask Team Leader Qiao to give us a thorough understanding, what do you think in your heart, and how can we get the devil to cooperate with us?"
"I can't say that yet," Qiao Xiaojing said, "This matter can only be stable, not rushed." We have to wait for today's turmoil to pass, and when everything is calm again, then is the time when our action really begins. Now, all we can do is stay in the house, try not to go out of the house, and try not to meet the devil during the day. ”
"What about that night?" the big man felt that Qiao Xiaojing's words were meaningful.
"It's not good for the next two or two nights," Qiao Xiaojing pointed to the big one, and said seriously, "There must be a lot of devils in the past two nights, we can't hit the stone with an egg, we must avoid its edge, accumulate steadily, after these two days, the devils are likely to give up all over the town to find the murderers of those two devils, and we can move again." ”
"Got it. The big man nodded in agreement.
"I can see it," the landlord looked at Qiao Xiaojing and said with a smile, "Among you people, you have a lot of brains and ideas." It's a pity, you are a female baby, if you are a male baby, in this chaotic world, with your ideas, of course, courage and courage, you will definitely be able to do something earth-shattering. ”
"What's wrong with the girl?" Ah Zi glanced at the old man and said unhappily, "Aren't Hua Mulan and Mu Guiying all female babies, they are not inferior to male babies at all, and they are even much stronger than most male babies." What's wrong with this female baby? Patriarchal, our team leader is not like a female baby at all at a critical time, no worse than a man, and women don't let their eyebrows ......."
Qiao Xiaojing didn't listen to Ah Zi's endless ramblings, she sat quietly on the threshold with a glass of water, staring ahead, falling into deep thought--- suddenly a team of devils with steel guns in their hands and hideous faces walked through the streets and alleys, shouting angrily at the people, and the bayonets with cold light dangled in front of the unarmed and frightened people......
In the evening, Qiao Xiaojing briefly explained a few words to Boss Wu and Cuiyu, and despite everyone's opposition, she went out of the yard and came to the outside of the town not far from the devil's tunnel, and hid behind a haystack in the crop field on the side of the road while no one was paying attention.
As the night gradually became heavier and everything became darker, Qiao Xiaojing looked around, saw that there was no one around, and secretly climbed in front of the haystack and dug out a large pit for the haystack--- which was large enough to hide it in. She slowly climbed in on her legs, and then blocked the mouth of the hay pit with hay piled on the edge of the haystack, blocking herself in it.
Qiao Xiaojing observed the movement of the devil's tunnel through the gap, to be precise, she observed the road in and out of the town up close, as well as the dirt road leading to the devil's tunnel. The haystack was on the side of the road, and she hid in it, basically facing these two roads, and it was so close to them that she could clearly see the devil coming out of the tunnel and entering the town.
I don't believe it, the devils in the "grave" will not come out all night, and the devils who are rampage through the town will not come back? I'm just waiting here, I want to see your beasts' every move up close, I want to understand the laws of your beasts, and when I have everything in my hands, that's when you beasts go to hell...... Qiao Xiaojing was secretly happy, she didn't expect that there would be such a haystack here, let alone that the location of this haystack was so good.
The emperor lived up to his wishes, Qiao Xiaojing's judgment was not wrong, as she calculated when she went out, she didn't lie in the haystack for too long, and suddenly heard a crisp and rhythmic running sound, although the sound was still very far away.
"It's definitely a devil," Qiao Xiaojing pondered, "Those devils who are looking for the corpses of those two devils in the town, there can't be anything wrong with that." There are only devils in the regular armed forces here, there are no Kuomintang Central Army, no troops of local warlords, and no troops of the people's armed forces, and at present, the only revolutionary force is our action group of five or six people......"
Gradually, the previously crisp and rhythmic footsteps became heavy, like the sound of a heavy object rolling on uneven ground. The voice was getting closer and closer, and Qiao Xiaojing felt very clearly, the source of the sound was less than ten meters away from her, but her vision was not very wide, and she couldn't see whether the comers were the devils who were looking for the corpses of the two devils.
"Taijun," Qiao Xiaojing heard someone say, "You don't have to worry too much, it's not a good thing that you didn't find the bodies of those two Taijun, it's very likely that those two Taijun didn't have an accident at all, they just disappeared temporarily, maybe they will be able to come back soon, it's not possible, it's not impossible that those two Taijun have now returned to the underground palace!"
A large number of devils ran over, Qiao Xiaojing saw clearly this time, there were at least twenty or so people, and they all went towards the "grave" of the devils in unison, and they all entered the "grave" in the blink of an eye, and there was no movement. These are the ones I saw on the street during the day, the ones who were looking for the two devils who disappeared after going out last night.
But there are still two people standing at the intersection, one of them is the guy who spoke just now, fluent in Chinese, with a slight northern accent, it is obvious that this guy is a dog with a broken backbone, the devil's translator. He kept saying "Taijun" and "Taijun", and the person who was with him should be a Japanese officer, and conservatively speaking, this person should also be a small leader.
"Liu San," said one of the devils, "yours are very good at talking, and I hope those two fools accidentally went in the wrong direction last night, and got lost, as you said, only disappeared briefly, and they are now back in their homes." But I always felt that they were dead, that they had been killed, that their bodies had been buried, or hidden, and that we had not found them for the time being. ”
"Impossible," said the traitor, "Taijun, you also overestimate these Diao people, they have eaten the bear's heart and leopard's guts, and dare to attack Taijun? There is only one possibility for the truth of the facts, that is, it was too dark last night, and the two Taijun may have drunk, and went in the wrong direction in a daze, and then they got lost, and walked farther and farther, and only after dawn did they realize this mistake, so they hurried back, and we came out early, and I didn't know that they had returned......"
It was Ah Zi and the big man who were bold and careful, and threw the two devils on the abandoned roof, so that the devils did not easily find the corpses of the two beasts...... Qiao Xiaojing was very satisfied with what happened last night.
"Liu San," said the devil, "I know that you are loyal to the Imperial Japanese Army, loyal to me, and a good friend of ours, and you say these things only to comfort me, and not to make me suffer too much." But don't you think about it, if those two fools really came back, and he learned that I had taken so many people out to look for them, and they would dare to stay in the dungeon and not hurry up to see me? ”
"Don't be upset, Taijun," said the traitor, "I think it was just an accident. It's been so long, this place has been very stable, and nothing like this has happened, is it that the two Taijun drank again last night, or ......"
"What do you want to say, say it, there's no one here, there's no need to hide it. ”
"I mean, will those two Taijun drink too much again, and fall in love with a girl from a certain family, and break in......" Before the traitor finished speaking, there was a burst of Yin laughter.
"Brute," Qiao Xiaojing was so angry that her teeth chattered, and she cursed in her heart, "What a dog with a broken backbone!" No wonder Chinese was bullied by the Japanese robbers, because there were too many such boneless dogs, and they grew up eating Chinese grain one by one, but they waged their tails and begged for mercy in front of the foreign beasts, helping the foreign beasts bite their own people...... If it weren't for the big thing, the old lady would go out, and I would have to pick up you two inhuman brutes......"
"It's hard to say," Qiao Xiaojing heard the devil continue, "Those two fools are addicted to alcohol, and I have reprimanded them for this, I see that they have not touched alcohol for a long time. I didn't expect ...... If it weren't for the lack of manpower now, like those two fools, I would have sent them out of here, so I wouldn't have kept them until now. ”
"Taijun is wise, Taijun is wise!"
"Forget it, let's go back. ”
Qiao Xiaojing saw two black shadows not far away, and swayed into the dirt road to the devil's "grave......
About half an hour later, two devils walked out of the "grave", and Qiao Xiaojing followed behind them, slowly entering the dark and silent town.
