Chapter 12: I've Been Waiting for You for a Long Time
Early the next morning, Qiao Xiaojing got up. * When she opened the door, the rain had stopped, and she shouted excitedly, "The rain has stopped, the rain has really stopped, it's amazing, the rain has stopped......"
"Who's shouting?" Cuiyu woke up and nudged Zi.
"Oh," Ah Zi sat up in a daze, sleepy-eyed, and said lightly, "It should be Sister Xiaojing." ”
As soon as the words fell, Qiao Xiaojing rushed into the house, pointed outside the house and said, "Look, the rain has stopped, the rain has really stopped!"
When Cuiyu and Ah Zi heard the news, they were also very excited, and hurriedly put on their clothes, and their shoes were not fastened, so they came to the door, and when they saw that the sky was transparent, they almost jumped up with joy.
"Tell Dazhi and them to get up," Qiao Xiaojing said to Cuiyu and Ah Zi, "Tell them the good news, they must not know that the rainstorm that has lasted for many days has stopped, and it is finally a sunny day." Go and tell them ......"
Before Qiao Xiaojing finished speaking, Ah Zi jumped up and knocked on the door of Dazhi's house.
"Great," Qiao Xiaojing rubbed her hands and walked out of the house excitedly, and then walked back excitedly, muttering to herself, "I'm free, I finally don't have to stay in the house anymore." It's still outside the house, and the air smells of freedom!"
"Don't be like this," Cuiyu saw Qiao Xiaojing like a child, dragged her, and said with a smile, "You go in and out like this, so that the old man will feel sorry for his own threshold when he sees it." ”
"You're right," Qiao Xiaojing nodded, "I almost forgot about this--- we can't just leave, you calculate, after staying at the old uncle's house for so long, and eating several meals, it's not easy for people to leave the money to the old man." ”
"Okay!" Jade turned and lay down on the wooden box.
"I really let you be right," At this time, the leopards had already come to the yard, and the leopards said to Qiao Xiaojing, "The heavy rain will stop when you say stop, you are really not simple, too powerful, I will completely obey you!"
The other brothers also admired, one sentence from the east and one sentence to the west, one sentence from you and one sentence to me, and suddenly the yard full of mud was chaotic.
"Shh~" Qiao Xiaojing pointed to the old man's house and whispered, "Be quiet, don't affect the old man's sleep, let's quickly pack up our things and leave here before the villagers get up and leave the house." ”
Everyone dispersed, there was not much to pack, and most of the luggage was stored in the wooden box, so they quickly gathered at the door of the room where Qiao Xiaojing and they were
Cuiyu had finished settling the accounts, and Qiao Xiaojing left a note of thanks to the old man and pressed the money on the note.
The leopard arranged for Dacheng and Xiao Cai to lift the wooden box.
Everything was taken care of, Qiao Xiaojing waved her hand forward, and ordered in a low voice: "Out!"
The procession walked out of the courtyard of the old man's house in the thin morning light, and marched mightily through the quiet village, everything in front of them was wet, as if it had just emerged from the water, the road was quite muddy, and the mud swamp drowned everyone's ankles, but everyone's face was full of joy.
"It's really like I've broken out of the cage!" In addition to the village, they soon came to a big road, Ah Zi sighed.
"Yes," the leopard also realized, and said casually, "it is impossible for us people to live that kind of leisurely life, and this period of time curled up in the house, it is really enough to choke, almost unable to breathe, and now that we can finally enjoy the happiness of freedom." ”
"Don't say it," Jade said, "even though we're still walking in the mud, we don't feel very tired. ”
"It's all because of the mood," Qiao Xiaojing said with a smile, "The mood is relaxed, no matter how relaxed you feel, on the contrary, even if you have nothing to do, lying idle every day, just like this time before, I feel sleepy and weak, and there is a boulder pressing on my heart." ”
"Yes, yes," Dazhi, who was walking on the side, agreed with Qiao Xiaojing's statement, nodded and said, "It's a suffocating feeling." Well, now that I've heard that the rain has stopped, my mood has brightened a lot. ”
"Who's to say it's not?" said the photon, "I'm used to being busy, and suddenly I'm idle and have nothing to do, it's really more tiring than being busy, and my back hurts all day long, and my whole body feels like I'm tied up with a rope, yes, it's not comfortable anyway." ”
"Our destination today is ......," Leng Mian Sheng Antai, who was walking in the front, turned around and said.
"Pier Bridge. Qiao Xiaojing's answer was very crisp and direct.
"Isn't there a detour?" the leopard questioned, and suggested, "Let's go straight west from the front, and rest at Red Maple Mountain, so that we will soon turn into the avenue, and hopefully speed up the march, I don't know what you think." ”
"Red Maple Mountain?" Qiao Xiaojing pondered for a moment, and said puzzledly, "The mountains in that area are high and the ravines are deep, and robbers and bandits often haunt them, isn't it a bit too risky to choose this road?"
"We are a regular team," said the leopard confidently, "everyone has the ability, and definitely has the ability to fight with one as ten and one as a hundred, are you still afraid of those rabble?"
"I don't think there's anything wrong with that," said the photon, "we've been delayed for a few days due to the heavy rain, and if we make a decent detour to the dock bridge, it will take at least two more days, so won't we be even more delayed?"
"Why don't we go straight to Red Maple Mountain?" said Jade, "Since both the leopard and the photon have this idea, it means that they have the confidence to defeat the rabble, and they have this confidence, is there anything else for the five of us to be afraid of?"
"That's right," Ah Zi also said, "We are not vegetarians, bullets and bullets, what battles have we never seen?"
"This ......" Qiao Xiaojing was still a little hesitant, she pondered for a moment, weighed it, and finally agreed, "Okay, the predecessors have a saying: if you listen to it, you will be clear and believe it will be dark." Today, I will listen to you, turn onto the avenue in front of you, and go straight to Hongfeng Mountain. ”
For Qiao Xiaojing and them, they don't have to worry about encountering the enemy at the moment, the only obstacle to the march is that the road is not smooth, when the team successfully turns into the avenue, the road is much better than before, although it is still a muddy road, at least there are a lot fewer potholes.
After several hours of hurrying, near dusk, Qiao Xiaojing and his group of thirteen people came to the boundary of Hongfeng Mountain.
"See?" said the leopard, pointing to the mountain in front of him, "This mountain is called Red Maple Mountain, and it won't be long before the weather gets colder, and once there is a frost, the maple leaves all over the mountain will become fiery red, and the whole mountain will become red." ”
Everyone stopped one after another and looked up at Red Maple Mountain. This mountain is lush and green, and the clouds and smoke are thick, and it looks very majestic.
"This mountain is very beautiful," Qiao Xiaojing sighed, "If the maple leaves stain the whole mountain red, I think it will be even more beautiful." ”
"Yes," said the leopard, "I have never seen the red maple leaves of this mountain, but I have heard that when the maple leaves are red, from a distance, this red maple mountain is like a fire burning the sun, which is very spectacular and breathtaking." ”
"Really?" said Cuiyu, "It's beautiful to think about, but we don't have this opportunity, if I have this opportunity in the future, I must come and see when the maple leaves turn red and this mountain is red, and appreciate this treasure land of the motherland." ”
"You say," Qiao Xiaojing took a deep breath, pointed around, and said with a little sadness, "What a good river and mountain, what a good place, alas, I really can't figure out how many such good places have been occupied by devils and plagued by devils......"
Hearing this, everyone's mood suddenly became a lot heavier, and they lost the mood to enjoy the scenery.
"Here is a long sigh," Ah Zi stepped forward to persuade, "in vain. For us, the most important thing now is to carry out the task, and our timely and successful completion of the task is the greatest support for the revolutionary work. ”
"Ah Zi is right," Qiao Xiaojing said, "Instead of sighing here, it is better to take action, empty sighs will not let those brutes get out of China, we must take some practical action." Let's go, move on!"
The leopard greeted Qiao Xiaojing as Qiao Xiaojing meant, and the team of thirteen people began to move again.
"It's not getting early," Qiao Xiaojing said, "Let's go as fast as we can, and we must pass through this Red Maple Mountain Canyon while the sky is bright, and then let's find a relatively flat and dry place to camp." ”
"There is no need to camp in the wilderness," said the leopard, "and there is mud everywhere outside, and there is no dry place for us to camp? ”
"Ah~" Qiao Xiaojing, Cuiyu and Ah Zi said in unison, looking very surprised.
"There is a village three or five miles out of the gorge," Qiao Xiaojing said to herself, "But this way, it is quiet and empty, and I haven't met anyone, not even a single figure, it's really strange!"
"What's so strange about this," said Cuiyu, "after all, it's been raining for so long, and there is mud everywhere, so it's inconvenient to go out." Besides, the villagers don't have anything important, they must all stay at home, why go out?"
"Yes," said the leopard, "the villagers go out to work in the fields, and the rain has already filled the fields, and they will not be able to enter at all for a while, so they can only stay at home all day, just like the old man we have lived in these days." This is normal, and all the families in the village are like this, and they rarely go out under normal circumstances, let alone come from such a far place in the village. ”
"I understand that. Qiao Xiaojing said, "But I can't meet anyone, I am very unsure, I always feel that something is wrong to be born, and besides, it is getting dark, otherwise don't go into the canyon, let's take a detour?!"
"No!" just as everyone hesitated, but the leopard said firmly, "We, we can't take a detour, we have to walk a lot of ways to detour, we have been walking on the dirt road today, it is very hard, we should find a clean place to rest." ”
"But," Qiao Xiaojing looked at the deep canyon and said in a deep voice, "But I feel a little insecure, I ......"
"It's all right," said the leopard, "you're so nervous, how can anything happen in this environment? Don't worry, nothing will happen, it's better to hurry, and it's really dark if you delay." ”
"Let's go. Qiao Xiaojing pondered for a while, and finally agreed with the leopard's idea.
"Stop!" After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, someone on the cliff suddenly shouted, "Uncle Ben has been waiting for you for a long time." Put down the box, and you're gone, or you'll all die here. ”
Everyone was shocked and looked at the cliff, where there were dozens of people with guns, all dressed as bandits.
