Chapter 18: Arrival

readx;? Zhi'an Town is about 70 miles to the southeast, and there is a big mountain called Beishan. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Tian Lai Novel ww

Since its existence, the North Mountain has remained as obscure as many ordinary mountain ranges, until the construction of a place of refuge for those who have lost their homes due to the war, known as the North Mountain Refugee Camp, which became famous.

Located in a depression between two mountains, this Beishan refugee camp is once an abandoned mine, with dozens of very simple houses of various sizes, which are dilapidated but still barely inhabitable.

The Japanese devils with wolf ambitions launched the war of aggression against China, resulting in the destruction and displacement of many people's families, and many places under the jurisdiction of Baoding Prefecture were also inevitably suffering from the disaster of war, and many people lost their homes, and they could only wander in the artillery fire and gunsmoke without support and homelessness.

Fortunately, this area of Beishan is not under the control of the devils, and there are troops stationed around, either the troops of the Kuomintang, or the troops of the **, or the teams of local warlords, which are relatively safe.

The wanderers live here, most of them didn't know each other before, so few people know the details of the others, of course, for them, it is the blessing of the heavens to have a place to save their lives, where else can they think about other things?

Therefore, this Beishan refugee camp is mixed, all kinds of people live here, no one can figure out whose true identity is not, and everyone here is almost the same, all ragged and unkempt.

Just imagine, if a gangster is mixed in in such a place, dressed in disguise, dressed as a beggar, and looking impoverished, who will have the means to find out about it? What's more, Qiao Xiaojing and the others were given the task that an extremely dangerous Japanese explosives expert was mixed in here, and there was not even a photo or a word.

Qiao Xiaojing and the others received the task from the underground traffic officer Ah Xiang, and pondered in the pickle shop for most of the night, but finally they didn't think of any good way to come, so they decided to explore the area around the Beishan refugee camp.

Early the next morning, all the members of the Fengweizhu Special Operations Group dressed up in disguise, dressed as farmers and peasant women who were going into the mountains to collect firewood, and came to Beishan with dry food in their hands.

Near Beishan, there happened to be a three-way intersection, and the Fengwei Bamboo group was divided into two roads, one was led by Qiao Xiaojing, the members were Ah Zi and the big man, they followed the path left by the villagers to the top of the mountain, and the other was led by Cuiyu, and the members were only Dazhi, and they went in the direction of the Beishan refugee camp.

This northern mountain is lush and green, and the trees and weeds are very lush and full of life.

The road up the hill gets narrower and narrower, and it is clear that very few people have gone up the mountain, and halfway up the hill it is almost a sheep's intestine path, and the path is flanked by dense weeds and various shrubs.

The big man walked in the front, constantly fiddling with the sundries in front of him with a sickle, Qiao Xiaojing followed behind him, Ah Zi walked last, and the three of them walked towards the top of the mountain step by step. The weather was hot, the jungle was dense and impermeable, and the three of them were already sweating in a short time, Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi were so hot that they fanned the wind with their hands, and opened their mouths wide to pant for breath.

Compared to Qiao Xiaojing and them, Cuiyu and Dazhi were much more relaxed, they traveled on the wide road built by transporting minerals in the past, although it was also a dirt road, but the surroundings were spacious, and the breeze was cool, but they also felt very comfortable.

In the end, Qiao Xiaojing and the three of them and Cuiyu and the two of them reached the predetermined position respectively, and the crowded and chaotic Beishan refugee camp was not far in front of them.

This refugee camp is very dilapidated, and if it were not for the people living and moving in it, I believe that most people would think that this is an abandoned Daxing stable, even worse than the stables of the rich families in ancient times.

Each house is made of wood, not to mention the air leaking everywhere, everyone in the house can clearly see, and some of the wall gaps are large enough to easily enter and exit a person, not much smaller than the door of the countryman's utility room.

All the rooms were filled with refugees, and the courtyard was crowded with people, and the noise shook the world, as if it were a chaotic scene.

There were four sentry posts around the camp in the North Mountains, two on the mountainside on the left and right sides, and two at the opposite ends of the hollow, with a total strength of less than ten men.

The job of these sentries is simple, in addition to maintaining normal order, that is, managing food rations for these refugees, after all, the current food is in short supply, and the food cannot be left in the hands of the refugees.

"The conditions are so difficult," Qiao Xiaojing sighed, "Fortunately, it's a hot day now, don't worry about heating, if it's winter, in such a residence, it won't take a night, these people will have to freeze to death." ”

"Then what can be done?" Ah Zi took a deep breath and said, "There are so many refugees, not to mention two or three hundred, even if you build a house immediately, you may not be able to build enough houses for so many people to live in a while!"

"Two great good men," the big man panted, "let's think about how we can find the Japanese demolition expert who has infiltrated the refugees and complete the task assigned to us by our superiors!"

"What are you talking about?" Ah Zi was a little unhappy, and said coldly, "We haven't delayed our business, aren't we investigating, can't we care about anything else except that devil?"

"You have also seen it," the big man said a little anxiously, "there is such a scene in front of us, there are refugees in addition to refugees, even if there are a few so-called refugees fishing in troubled waters, we can't tell by the naked eye, but the task has been received, and we can't help but complete it, isn't it to make a few of us crazy!"

"It's a little troublesome...... Qiao Xiaojing nodded, carefully looking at the dilapidated place in front of her.

At this time, Cuiyu and Ah Zi were also confused, and Cuiyu sighed: "What can I do about this? There are refugees everywhere, and everyone has a similar image, if we want to find someone who has neither physical characteristics nor any understanding, we can only run around like headless flies, I think this chance is worse than a blind cat encountering a dead mouse." ”

"Who says it's not?" Dazhi echoed, "We know that this person is a Japanese devil, and we don't know anything else, besides, I heard that the ancestors of this Japanese devil are Chinese, and it is extremely difficult to distinguish from the appearance." Originally, there were some differences between the two countries, but many Japanese devils spoke Chinese very authentically, and some even spoke Chinese dialects......"

"It's really troublesome...... "Jade kept shaking her head, looking helpless.

Cuiyu and Dazhi watched for about an hour, and they didn't come up with any good ideas, so they returned to the three-way intersection where they were separated from Qiao Xiaojing.

Qiao Xiaojing, Ah Zi and the big man didn't see why, so it was best to turn back the way they came, and finally get together with Cuiyu, and returned to the Immortal Spring Pickle Shop helplessly and melancholy.

Back in the store, they told Uncle Qiang in detail about the situation they observed, and after listening to it, Uncle Qiang was no different from their performance, and he shook his head helplessly, and there was nothing he could do.

"Either we'll ask the sentries about it, they've been there all day, and while we can't be sure which one is the Jap, at least they're more familiar with these people than we are, and they should be suspicious......" The big man was the first to say what he thought.

"I think this is a good solution," Dazhi agreed, without waiting for the big man to finish speaking, "at least the scope of the investigation has been greatly reduced, and the unnecessary workload has been reduced, and the efficiency is definitely much higher than the headless fly-like rampage." ”

"What if the sentinels suspect that there is a problem?" Ah Zi said with a little concern, "or rather, there is no Japanese blasting expert we are looking for among the objects of the sentinels' suspicions, then there is a problem with the direction of our work, and the final result can be imagined, not only can we not find the Japanese devil, but we will also startle the snake and make the guy hide more secretively." ”

"If it's true as Ah Zi said," said Cuiyu, "then we will add several times more difficulty to ourselves, which means that we are completely finished." You can think about it, since that devil is an expert in explosives, he must be different from ordinary devils, not only in terms of technology, but at least in terms of camouflage. Keeping this guy on his toes and then we're looking for him from hundreds of people is like looking for a needle in a haystack. ”

Qiao Xiaojing didn't make a sound, just listened to them quietly.

"Makes sense!" Ah Zi looked at Cuiyu and nodded.

"That's true!" Dazhi also felt that Cuiyu's analysis was reasonable.

"Since I can't do this," the big man said angrily when he saw that everyone was frowning, a little impatient, "then tell me your clever plan, and let me see it." ”

Although everyone was aware of the flaws and loopholes in the big man's countermeasures, and also believed that this flaws and loopholes could be fatal, once they made a wrong move, it was inevitable that there would be no situation where they would lose all the games, but they had no other better way but to continue to worry, and suddenly there was silence in the room, and there was no sound.

The big man looked around at everyone in the room, looked at them one by one in thought, shook his head, and sat down on the ladder against the wall.

"The intricate refugee camp is like a street market with a lot of goods, and the mixed refugees are like the guest officers who come and go down the street, and no one knows what he wants to buy until these guest officers open their mouths or reach for their goods, and the same is true of these refugees, and no one can tell the devil before he makes any moves. Uncle Qiang was almost talking to himself, and said these somewhat obscure words.

"What do you mean---" Qiao Xiaojing said tentatively to Uncle Qiang, "Only when we get close to them and get in close contact with them can we have a chance to find the person who bought things, is that what you mean?"

"It's about the same. Uncle Qiang nodded.

"I'll go, I'll pretend to be a refugee and blend in. The big man stood up suddenly.

"I'm going with the big guys," Dazhi said, raising his hand, "and we go into the camp and live with them, and we don't believe that guy can be a chameleon." ”

Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Qiao Xiaojing, this Qiao Xiaojing took a deep breath, bit her lip tightly, paused for more than ten seconds, and said solemnly, "Okay, I agree with you to go!"
