Chapter 33 [Huangkouzi] (II)
At twelve o'clock in the evening, Luo Lie went out and came outside to see Chang Fa still sitting in front of the campfire. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info stepped on the snow in the quiet night, the footsteps were very clear, and he often turned his head alertly, and saw that it was Luo Lie who put his mind at ease, and slowly withdrew his right hand from his arms. He had a pistol hidden in his arms.
Luo Lie smiled and said, "Brother Chang, you will go and rest, I will guard here." ”
Chang Fa nodded, opened his shirt, took out a handful of Mauser 1896 from his waist and handed it to Luo Lie, Luo Lie did not reach out to take it, and said in a low voice: "I don't need a gun." ”
Chang Fa could only put the pistol back.
Luo Lie told him: "Put it away, don't let Xu Laogen see it." "They came out this time with a lot of weapons, but these weapons should not be easily exposed in front of people.
Chang said: "Don't worry, you should be careful alone, just call me if you have anything." ”
Luo Lie smiled: "Hurry up!"
After Chang Fa left, Luo Lie watched the pair of bonfires alone, deep mountains and snow valleys, silent and uninhabited, the sound of breaking branches was so thrilling, looking at the beating bonfire, a beautiful phantom appeared in Luo Lie's eyes, he closed his eyes in some pain, and at this moment he heard the sound of footsteps on the snow in the distance, Luo Hunt Huo Ran turned around, but saw a figure wearing a bloated cotton suit walking towards him, and it was already seen from the walking posture that it was a sparrow.
When the sparrow came closer, she saw that she was still holding a blanket in her hand, and handed it to Luo Liedao: "It's cold at night, you put it on!"
Luo Lie said: "Why haven't you slept yet?"
Instead of answering his question, Sparrow draped the blanket over his shoulders and sat down beside him. felt her shoulders sink, but it was Luo Lie who draped the blanket over her body again. The sparrow blinked, Luo Lie gently patted her shoulder, signaled her not to push, and said softly: "I'm not cold." ”
The sparrow looked at Luo Lie with some heartfelt expressions and said, "You don't have a good face, you have to pay more attention to your body, why don't I keep it, you go to sleep?"
Luo Lie shook his head and said, "I can't sleep." ”
Sparrow cautiously asked, "Do you have insomnia?"
Luo Lie smiled noncommittally, and nodded after a while: "Since I came back from the United States, I have not slept well, and I may not be used to the cold weather in Manchuria recently, so it has become a little serious." ”
Sparrow said: "Then you also have to rest, you can't always hold on, or you drink some wine, it should help you sleep." ”
Luo Lie broke off a branch and threw it in the bonfire: "Although I can't sleep, it has no effect on my body, I tried to drink, but the more I drank, the more awake I became, and I had a headache after drinking too much, and I couldn't sleep." He paused and said, "Actually, it's not a bad thing, although I sleep less, but I wake up more, and living one day is equal to two days for others." ”
Sparrow said: "If you really can't do it, take some sleeping pills." ”
Luo Lie said: "It's not serious enough yet. ”
Sparrow said: "I have heard that insomnia is caused by frustration or stimulation, do you have anything on your mind? If possible, I would like to listen to you." She always felt that Luo Lie was a person with a story, and showed considerable interest in his affairs.
Luo Lie laughed, and he stood up: "You wait for me for a while, I'll go and take a look around." ”
The sparrow nodded, looking at Luo Lie's distant back, his beautiful eyes were covered with a layer of mist, Luo Lie's departure at this time was obviously evading, I don't know what kind of pain was buried deep in his heart, although he was optimistic outside, but the sparrow always felt that there was an unknown pain hidden in his deep eyes.
When Luo Lie approached the wooden house where Xu Laogen was with a torch, he found that the climbing plow at the door was gone, and he couldn't help but be surprised, walked around the wooden house, and did not find any trace of the yellow dog and the climbing plow, but found a trace of the climbing plow dragging behind the wooden house, Luo Lie secretly screamed that it was not good, he came to the door of the wooden house, gently pushed the door and opened it, the room was pitch black, and the light of the torch illuminated the room, but saw that the room was empty, and Xu Laogen had already gone to the empty building.
Luo Lie's surprise was not trivial, and he began to blame himself in his heart, because of the torture of insomnia in the past two days, he was obviously a little out of state, in fact, at the beginning of the trip, he realized that Xu Laogen's gaze was a little strange, but he was still careless after all, and he was too negligent to Xu Laogen, thinking that since the conditions were negotiated, there was no need to worry about other things, money can make the ghost grind, but he didn't expect Xu Laogen to escape halfway. Luo Lie suddenly felt a headache, he covered his forehead, reminding himself that he must calm down, he was elected as the leader of this team, and he had to take on the responsibility of leading all the members of the team to complete the task and ensure that everyone returned safely, he couldn't mess around.
Luo Lie's eyes fell on the bonfire, although it was far away, the sparrow was always paying attention to him, and his eyes were also looking at him.
Luo Lie's mind flashed back to the picture of Xu Laogen building a bonfire, at that time he had inappropriate thoughts, but in the end he denied it, now it seems that everything is likely to be Xu Laogen in the layout, Luo Lie can be sure that Xu Laogen will not give up halfway because he is afraid of the danger of the future, even if he wants to leave, he will not choose to leave quietly in the middle of the night.
Luo Lie quickly ran towards the sparrow, beckoned to her, and motioned for the sparrow to leave the bonfire, which had become the most obvious target in the night, and if someone came to ambush them, the first person to attack would be the person in charge of the watchman around the campfire.
The sparrow hadn't figured out what was going on, but when he saw Luo Hunt's movements, he also felt an inexplicable crisis, and got up and walked towards him.
She left with her front foot, and a feathered arrow broke through the night and shot at where she had just been, the tip of the arrow sinking deep into the frozen ground, and the black tail feathers trembling under the help of the shaft.
The sparrow rushed forward with all his might, into the shadows of the trees in front of him, and with a thud another feathered arrow struck the trees, and the ice chips and the cracked bark were stirred up by the arrow, and flew in all directions, and the sparrow hid behind the trunks, and the snow reflected its pretty face white, and its eyes were terrified.
Luo Hunt rushed towards the sparrow at an alarming speed, shouting at the same time, "There is an ambush!" The reason why he shouted loudly was to attract the attention of the archers, and secondly, to remind the three companions who were still sleeping in the cabin.
Three arrows in a row chased Luo Lie's figure, but Luo Hunt's speed was too fast, and he kept changing directions while running, using the surrounding trees and buildings as cover, and none of the three feathered arrows hit the target, one followed by the other nailed to the snow behind Luo Lie.
During the period when Luo Hunt attracted the attention of the other party, the sparrow had successfully concealed in the back of the wooden house, and pulled out the Luger P08 pistol and fired continuously at the position where the shooter might be hiding.
Chang Fa had just fallen asleep, and when Luo Lie issued the first warning, he had already heard it, and he got up from the bed, took out two Mauseres under the pillow, and wanted to go out to answer, but as soon as he opened the door, a feather arrow whistled over, and Chang Fa hurriedly retreated into the room. The feather arrow was nailed to the door panel, the arrow was strong and heavy, and the tip of the arrow shot through the door panel, and the root of the left ear of Changfa was exposed, as long as it was slightly deviated to the right by an inch, Changfa was worried about his life.
The blind man and Arnold slept in the same wooden room, and the gunfire completely dispersed their alcohol, and the two were busy touching the gun. Arnold said: "There is still a bonfire lit outside, the enemy is dark and I am clear, if we go out, we will become a live target." After all, he was born in the British Royal Air Force, and his military literacy and actual combat experience far exceeded that of a blind man.
The blind man said, "What should I do?"
Arnold pouted at the window behind him, walked over and opened the window, and was about to quietly climb out of the window by taking advantage of the darkness of the night, but as soon as the window was opened, a feather arrow was shot, Arnold subconsciously lowered his body, and the feather arrow flew out close to his scalp, so frightened that Arnold sat on the ground.
At the same time, several rockets were fired from the woods, and this time the target was not aimed at people, but at wooden houses, such a large target that even ordinary archers would not miss. The wooden house ignited immediately when it caught fire, although it did not burn down in a short time, but these fires played a role in illuminating, and the ignition points burning everywhere exposed the wooden house to light, and also made it more difficult for Luo Hunt them to conceal. The accompanying mounts roared in terror at the light of the fire, and soon the horses were targeted by the archers, and five of them were killed on the spot.
Luo Lie and Sparrow met together, their hiding place was temporarily safe, and Sparrow whispered, "What should I do?"
