Qiao Xiaojing stood against the wall, looking out through the window, and as the sky became brighter, there were more people coming and going in the yard.

These people were all dressed plainly, modest, and calm, as if they were vice-peasants, but it was not difficult to see from the way they walked that they were not pure peasants, and they had another identity, that is, extremely disciplined warriors. For Qiao Xiaojing, who was born and raised in the countryside, knows the life of a peasant well, and later experienced many twists and turns, and entered the revolutionary ranks, the difference can be seen at a glance.

This is an armed peasantry, a revolutionary contingent, yes, they are definitely a revolutionary contingent...... Qiao Xiaojing muttered in her heart, a smile appeared on her face, she looked back and saw Ah Zi curled up in the grass because of the heavy cold, she almost pounced excitedly, she wanted to tell Ah Zi everything she thought, she wanted Ah Zi to laugh as happily as she did.

In the end, Qiao Xiaojing did not wake up Ah Zi, she looked around the leaky and dilapidated cell for a week, and looked at the musty hay in front of her, and the instant excitement was reduced by half, and she breathed a long sigh of relief.

Qiao Xiaojing turned around and clutched the wooden stick on the window, her eyebrows arched, and her sharp eyes stared out, she understood that she and Ah Zi were still prisoners, even if she had a stomach full of words to say to the people who came and went in the courtyard, but it couldn't be now.

"What's wrong?" Ah Zi blinked in front of him, pulling the hay on his body, and walked to Qiao Xiaojing's side in a daze.

"You say," Qiao Xiaojing turned her head to look at Ah Zi, and said lightly, "They locked us up here, except for bringing a dinner, why no one cares anymore?"

"Are you hungry?" Ah Zi rubbed his eyes, as if he hadn't come to his senses yet.

"I'm not hungry, but you're crazy. Qiao Xiaojing didn't expect Ah Zi to ask such a question, shook her head in a little disappointment, sat on the edge of the kang, raised her head and let out a long breath, with a bored look.

"Then you," Ah Zi realized that Qiao Xiaojing was not by her side, looked back and saw her sitting on the kang and sighed, then returned to the kang, looked at Qiao Xiaojing and said, "What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong here, or is something going on?"

"Nope. Qiao Xiaojing shook her head and said, "I just think it's not okay for us to be locked up here all the time, after all, there are still a lot of things to deal with, how can we always stay here?

"If you want me to say," Ah Zi stood up, grabbed a piece of hay, and shook the hay as he paced, with a look of understanding the whole situation, "The reason why they treat us like this is that there are two possibilities, on the one hand, they are busy with other things, and they forget about you and me, and they can't remember that there are two people who are vital to the revolution in this broken house." ”

When Qiao Xiaojing saw Ah Zi's style, she originally thought that when she woke up, she would have something high-minded, but she didn't expect to play the old tune of yesterday again, so she shook her head impatiently, with a look of disappointment and helplessness.

"This is another aspect," Ah Zi didn't seem to see Qiao Xiaojing's expression, and then said, "That is, these inexplicable people haven't thought about how to deal with you and me at all, they can only let you and me cold, let you and me completely die of the heart to fight with them to the end, and bow to them, take the initiative to tell you and me identities, and confess the crime according to their intentions." ”

"Well," Qiao Xiaojing said lightly, "Don't say it, it's really possible, after all, they are not bandits, nor are they Japanese puppet soldiers or landlords under Lao Cai, they are a revolutionary team, and they can't be rude to us easily, but they don't know what to do with you and me, so they have to be locked up for the time being." But I don't agree with your analysis in the second half, if you really plan to let you and me cool down, and let you and I confess our crimes according to their intentions with a clear conscience, then it is undoubtedly to leave you and me to fend for ourselves. ”

"That makes sense," Ah Zi suddenly turned around, nodded at Qiao Xiaojing, bit the hay in his mouth, and said seriously, "Then this is the third possibility, I don't take you and me seriously at all, let you and I fend for ourselves, this will also save them trouble, at least save you and me these tosses back and forth, and also save a lot of manpower and time." ”

"I can see it," Qiao Xiaojing patted Ah Zi on the shoulder, shook her head and walked towards the window, and said as she walked, "You woke up from this sleep, and nothing else has grown, but you have grown up the pole." ”

"Are you praising me or scolding me?" Ah Zi pouted and said, "I thought I couldn't hear it, I could hear it, you were scolding me, saying that I was climbing up the pole you gave me." I know that you are upset, and I feel uncomfortable, but what can I do? People are under the eaves, we have to bow our heads, we have to find a way to get out, just worry, even if we are worried, the problem will not be solved, so I am just joking with you in order not to let you get too worried. ”

"Forget it," Qiao Xiaojing said, "I'm not as fragile as you think, I wake up early because I can't sleep." But I'm sure we'll get out and get out of here safely. ”

"So confident?" Ah Zi hunched her waist and tilted her head to look at Qiao Xiaojing, with a playful look on her face.

"Yes, that's it. Qiao Xiaojing explained, "Because they are the same as you and me, they are the team of the common people and the revolution, and they are the team that specializes in killing devils and traitors, how can they attack you and me?"

"This ......" Obviously, Ah Zi is still a little skeptical.

"Don't talk about this," Qiao Xiaojing sighed, "What I'm worried about now is not the situation of you and me, but Cuiyu, Dazhi and the big man, we didn't return overnight, and we didn't send them a letter back, I don't know what happened to the tofu factory!"

"Yes," Ah Zi also sighed, "In the past, it was someone else, and they could make a noise, but now when the family is nowhere to be found, it is naturally better than in the past, I hope Sister Cuiyu can suppress them and don't let them make trouble......"

Sai Xi Shi Tofu Workshop, everything looks the same as old from the outside, but the backyard is indeed a mess.

"Everyone knows," Qiao Shuangxi took more than a dozen brothers from Qiaojia Village, surrounded Cuiyu and Dazhi, and didn't let them go out to run errands, then Qiao Shuangxi said, "You have been with Xiaojing for a long time, much longer than our brothers have been in contact with her, we don't know where she is now, you shouldn't know?!"

"I told you," said Cuiyu, "she and Ah Zi went out on errands, why didn't you believe me?"

"Then you tell us," Qiao Shuangxi asked, "where has she gone, we are going to find her, we are afraid that she is in danger, we are going to protect her." ”

"yes, yes!"

"We were afraid that she was in danger. ”

"We didn't come home overnight, and we didn't feel at ease. ”

"You don't go to find someone, we go to find it ourselves, tell us the ...... place"

In the blink of an eye, the brothers around Qiao Shuangxi said a word, like a stone falling into a honeycomb, and suddenly there was chaos, they all looked sharp, pointing and pointing, as if they were not here to discuss the problem, but more like picking provocations.

"This ...... I really don't know. Jade shook her head with an innocent look on her face.

"You don't know?" Qiao Shuangxi's simple smile in the past disappeared, his face was extremely gloomy, his gloomy eyes wandered on Cuiyu and Dazhi, and he said angrily, "Do you think we are all fools, all three-year-old children? Obviously, you don't want to tell us where they are, to put it bluntly, you don't treat us as your own people at all, you don't trust us at all, you only let us do big and small things, and you never want us to know what you think in your heart......"

"Brothers," Dazhi felt that Qiao Shuangxi's words were easy to cause misunderstanding, and if he was allowed to continue talking, it would not only hurt the feelings between his comrades, but also lead to the collapse of the newly expanded guerrilla squad, so he interjected, "When Team Leader Qiao and Ah Zi went out, except for Sister Cuiyu, we were indeed not around, but this does not mean that Sister Cuiyu will know everything, right? Everyone has also seen that in just one night, Sister Cuiyu is a lot haggard, what does this mean?" It shows that she is the same as us, and she doesn't know the situation of Team Leader Qiao and them, and she is also worried about their safety!"

Only then did everyone fall silent, and one by one they lowered their heads, as if they were all in deep thought.

"That's not right," suddenly, the cigarette pouch broke this temporary calm, he looked left and right, and then said in a puzzled tone, "What did he do when the big man ran away last night, didn't he go to find Xiaojing and them?"

"This ......" Da Zhi paused slightly, nodded and said, "It should be, he went out noisily at that time, and he said that he was going to find Team Leader Qiao and them." ”

"Does he know where Team Leader Qiao and the others are going?" Mao Dan squeezed in from the crowd.

"I shouldn't know," Dazhi said, "If he knew, he wouldn't have argued with Sister Cuiyu at that time, you all saw it at that time, and he also wanted to know the whereabouts of Team Leader Qiao and them from Sister Cuiyu's mouth." ”

"Where is the other person, now?" Mao Dan stared at Dazhi with a straight look in his eyes.

"I'm just like you," Dazhi explained, "and when the big man went out, we all sat in the yard, and no one asked him where he went, and no one went out with him, so how could I know where the others were?"

"I don't know anything," Qiao Shuangxi said with a frown, "I don't know everything, I don't know the whereabouts of Xiaojing and them, and I don't know the whereabouts of Xiaojing and the two big men, I don't believe that you haven't encountered this situation before, so you don't have any secret way to contact each other?"

"Not really. Dazhi's answer paled in comparison, even though he was telling the truth.

The brothers from Qiaojia Village are you and he is a word, and like Qiao Shuangxi, they don't want to believe the answer given by Dazhi.

"Since," Qiao Shuangxi bit his lip and said, "If you don't want to tell Xiaojing's whereabouts, then we won't force you, let's go out and find someone ourselves!"

"Let's go!" said in unison.
