A rush of neat footsteps from far to near. The heavily armed patrol soldiers seemed anxious, striding in the direction of the entrance to the town, looking filled with the smell of dangerous gunpowder.

After the soldiers disappeared, the street vendors soon began to negotiate secretly. At this time, two vendors happened to lean against the door of this shop and whispered, and Fan Wei's ears pricked up, and he heard all the words that the two were talking about.

"Why are there so many soldiers in the town, what is going on?" Hawker A Chao B asked curiously, "This Zhong Town hasn't had so many patrolling soldiers for so long, right?" Is something big wrong? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful that the wall has ears and arrests you and takes you to jail, it will be miserable!" Hawker B hurriedly covered A's mouth, and said very strangely, "It's really strange, it was fine two hours ago, why are there so many more soldiers patrolling during this time?" ”

Fan Wei was shocked when he heard this, two hours ago? Wasn't that how long after they took out the sentries at the outpost? It seems that the sentry's gunfire must have triggered a chain reaction, and it seems that they already know that they are coming to Zhongcheng Town, so they have strengthened their vigilance and sent more soldiers on patrol, yes, it must be so!

He frowned, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, otherwise this town would not have suddenly become martial law. If you don't get out of here as soon as possible, the roads along the way will definitely be blocked by a large number of soldiers over time, and by then they will really be turtles in the urn.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt a little headache, Fan Wei turned his head and wanted to tell Xu Wei next to him his guess, but at this time he found that Xu Wei's eyes were straight behind him, showing surprise and joy. He couldn't help but say a little strangely, "Xu Wei? What happened to you? ”

"Fan Wei, I think I've found the person in charge of the branch." Xu Wei showed a sweet and touching smile, stretched out her hand behind her and pointed, "It's him." ”

Fan Wei turned his body and looked at the counter of the store behind him excitedly. I saw a middle-aged man dressed plainly, but obviously a little more upscale than a civilian, who was bending over with a pen and burying his head in the accounts, he couldn't help but be a little uncertain, "Is it really him?" ”

"Yes, although I have only met once, I will not forget his characteristics." Xu Wei pointed to his face and said, "On his cheek, there is an obvious dark red birthmark. His name is Zheng Wuxi, a member of the Relief Society, and he is a very good person, who has helped more than 500 refugees escape from the border of Country C. Later, he was appointed by the Relief Society to be the main person in charge of the Chung Cheng area. I met him at the last relief meeting, and we had dinner and chatted with him, so it was impossible for him to admit his mistake. ”

Seeing that Xu Wei was so sure, Fan Wei no longer doubted it, nodded and said, "Then what are you waiting for?" Let's get to know him quickly and let him help! Xu Wei, after killing those soldiers at the outpost just now, it is very likely that our whereabouts have been exposed, and country C has begun to step up patrols and prepare to arrest us. Uncle Jiang has a good friend whose army is stationed in the border area around the Tumen River, and we must contact him now to let him know our current situation and help us get out of here safely. With Huaxia coming forward, even if our identity is exposed, we will not dare to do anything to country C, but if we can't get in touch with Huaxia, once those people from country C arrest us and we can't show our identity and strength in Huaxia, and treat us as ordinary illegal immigrants, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

After listening to Fan Wei's words, Xu Wei immediately nodded in understanding. There was also a hint of anxiety in her eyes, and after sorting out her emotions, she strode to the counter of this store with the others.

"Knock knock......" Xu Wei tapped on the old counter, and smiled at the middle-aged boss who was bowing his head to settle accounts, "Uncle Zheng, hello." ”

The middle-aged boss named Zheng Wuxi was settling accounts with a pen, and suddenly heard this crisp female voice and couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Xu Wei, at this glance, he suddenly showed a shocked face, and leaned back directly on the shelf in fright, almost trembling in fear and said, "You, you ......"

Xu Wei was taken aback by Zheng Wuxi's performance, and lowered her voice obviously with some puzzlement, "Uncle Zheng, have you forgotten?" I'm Xu Wei from the Relief Society, we had a meeting together a few months ago, and we had dinner and chatted, have you forgotten? ”

Zheng Wuxi's face was full of panic and panic at first, but then he seemed to think of something, his eyes quickly swept around a few times, and after he looked at Xu Wei carefully, he smiled a little reluctantly, "Oh, it turned out to be Xu ...... Miss Xu, hehe, why are you, why did you sneak here...... Running to country C? ”

"This is a long story, I'm afraid it's inconvenient here......" Xu Wei looked around the store and whispered, "Uncle Zheng, is there a place to hide?" ”

Zheng Wuxi's eyes rolled, and he suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, I'm really confused, hurry, please come inside." ”

Xu Wei and Fan Wei looked at each other, and when they saw Fan Wei nodding, she took Fan Wei and the bald head into the backyard of this small shop. After Zheng Wuxi instructed the clerk on the side a few words, he hurried to the backyard and made tea and handed it over. The backyard of this store is not spacious, Fan Wei and the others are sitting or standing in the yard, Zheng Wuxi carefully looked at a few people before saying, "Miss Xu, now you can tell me what the hell is going on, right?" Could it be...... The Relief Society people asked you to come to me? ”

"No, it's not. Uncle Zheng, you are a good comrade of the Relief Society and a friend of my Xu Wei, I came to you, I really want to ask you for help. Xu Wei shook her head and said, "It's not that the relief society sent me. ”

Zheng Wuxi seemed to exhale lightly, his face softened, and he chuckled and muttered, "It's good if it's not, it's good if it's not." ”

"Uncle Zheng? Why were you so nervous when you saw me? Are you suspicious of me? Xu Wei guessed and asked tentatively, and replied, "Please rest assured, uncle, I am indeed Xu Wei, and I will appear in Country C, and I am really forced to do so." ”

"Miss Xu, if you and these friends of yours want to ask me for help, please say, I will help as much as I can." Zheng Wuxi, whose face was softened, showed a faint smile, glanced at Fan Wei, and then said to Xu Wei, "I remember that you seem to be a citizen of Huaxia Country and not a citizen of Country C, right?" How can it appear in a border area like Zhongcheng Town, which is not a tourist area? There will be a lot of foreign tourists in Uiju, and it is impossible for tourists to haunt this area? Did you sneak out here while you were traveling? ”
