In the afternoon, there was a light rain, which soon stopped again, and the overhead was still gray and dull.

Although it was muddy everywhere and wet everywhere, this was the return journey, especially since there was no need to be suspicious of Hu Yi's words, and the more the soldiers walked, the more relaxed they became.

Zhou Wanping fell into the mud again, but she didn't feel that Hu Yi behind her reached out to help herself, sat in the mud and turned her head directly, and found that he had stopped more than ten meters behind and was looking at the way behind.

"Hey, what's the matter?

Hu Yi didn't immediately react to Zhou Wanping's shouting, stood in place and looked behind for a while, before throwing off the stride and hurriing over, without pity for the jade, he pulled Zhou Wanping up fiercely, without saying a word, and began to chase her forward.

This made Zhou Wanping a little flustered for a while, looking at the brow that hadn't stretched until now, and said dissatisfiedly: "You slow down, I can't keep up." ”

Hu Yi pulled Zhou Wanping's arm without slowing down at all, as if saying to himself: "They have always been there." ”

"Who?" Zhou Wanping was puzzled.

"Them. Enemy. A bunch of mongrels. ”

......

Section Chief Xu stopped on the road, his face was extremely ugly, and he stared at Hu Yi in front of him for a while before saying, "Do you have to be endless?"

"It's not me that's endless, it's them. ”

"You see?"

"Nope. But they must be following us. ”

Section Chief Xu sighed deeply, feeling that he was about to collapse, from last night to now, it was not over, and he was served. Because he was Dr. Zhou's follower, he didn't want to say it too badly, but he still couldn't help it: "I heard...... You've had a head injury, have you've been cured, you should have stayed in the hospital, you shouldn't have come out!"

The soldiers all stood on the road and looked at Hu Yi, showing all kinds of complicated expressions, some were gloating, some felt that they hated their teeth, and some people felt incredible, not to mention that he was a demonic barrier, sooner or later he would have to torture everyone into a demonic barrier.

Zhou Wanping can understand Hu Yi, and at the same time can understand the thoughts of Section Chief Xu and the soldiers, Section Chief Xu's words are not good, she wants to say a few words for Hu Yi, but she has nothing to say, so she can only watch in a daze.

Hu Yi looked at these soldiers one by one, and finally looked at Section Chief Xu with an expressionless face: "Now I tell you, the reason why they haven't done it is because we are in the division, and the birds always have to return to their nests, and we can find the division headquarters sooner or later." Yesterday they said they were going to the direction of Sleepy Horse Mountain, and the rain stopped in the middle of the night, and they walked all the way, but since we left Xiaoli Village, have you seen the footprints of more than 30 people? Since you think they are your own people, why lie?"

“......”

Section Chief Xu was a little stunned, and tried to recall that after leaving the village in the morning, he had been leading the team in front, and the rain stopped in the middle of the night, and the path was muddy......

Section Chief Xu and the others were still looking at their eyes to digest their memories, and Hu Yi's voice sounded flat again: "In addition...... You're right, I really should have been in the hospital, I didn't want to come out in the first place. I am doing this for the sake of Dr. Zhou, and I have nothing to do with you or you, and I am sorry to make you frightened. Right now...... I've finished what I have to say, believe it or not, you can do it yourself!"

When the words fell, Hu Yi grabbed Zhou Wanping's arm: "Follow me!"

Zhou Wanping was still stunned by Hu Yi's words just now, and was suddenly pulled forward by Hu Yi, raised her head in panic, and saw that under the deep locked wide eyebrows, the narrow eyes revealed undoubtedness, she couldn't think of anything for a moment, her body instinctively followed, and she subconsciously said: "Hmm...... Good. ”

Seeing that Hu Yi had hurriedly walked a few steps forward with Zhou Wanping in tow, Section Chief Xu reacted and blurted out: "What are you...... You...... Stop me!"

"I'm her guard, not yours. Hu Yi's speed did not decrease at all, and he didn't even look back.

Zhou Wanping couldn't help asking: "Why don't you ...... with them"

"You are physically poor and slow, you have to go first, you will be dragged behind when you are with them, and no one can leave. Hu Yi replied like this, but this question was not in his mind.

The enemy may not just be tailgating, maybe parallel surveillance, once he feels that his deeds are exposed, he will definitely do it, although Section Chief Xu has a squad in his hand, but in the eyes of the veteran, it is nothing, will the devil who dares to go deep into here be good stubble? I hope they think that the two people have left beforehand, I hope they don't mind missing the two people, I hope it.

Glancing back, the distance had already stretched quite far, and Section Chief Xu and the others were still parked on the road, thinking about what to do next. Hu Yi urged in a low voice: "Hurry up." Run. ”

......

"From beginning to end, he said that he was alone, he said that he was surrounded, and we squatted in the house and stared at each other for a night, and our hearts were hanging in our throats, and what was the result? He said that there was an ambush, and we walked all the way to the ghost gate, and what was the result? Now that he is going back, he said that the enemy is following, isn't it a pit for the dead to pay for their lives?" a soldier expressed his opinion.

Section Chief Xu sighed: "I don't want to believe that this is true, but the footprints are true, what if he says it?"

The soldiers were silent, and after Hu Yi mentioned it just now, everyone did remember that there were no other obvious footprints on the way from Xiaoli Village to Sleepy Horse Mountain. It rained for so long yesterday, and the footprints of the past have already been softened and flattened, and after the rain stops, as long as someone walks through the footprints, it will be conspicuous, not to mention more than 30 people.

After a moment of silence, one of the warriors hesitated and said, "Maybe...... They temporarily changed their route and went somewhere else, did we really misunderstand?"

The guard squad leader suddenly raised his head and said, "Since we talked about footprints, if they really followed behind, they would also leave footprints, wouldn't they?

"Ah, yes. ”

"But if there is an enemy behind, wouldn't it be ......?"

The guard squad leader turned around: "Section Chief Xu, let's do it, I'll go back alone, if it's okay, I'll come back, if the gun goes off...... It means it's true. ”

Section Chief Xu looked at the guard squad leader for a while, and nodded: "Be careful, if you can come back, I don't want to hear the gunshot." ”

The guard squad leader turned around and began to trot, his back fading into the muddy road.

"Okay, give me the spirit to be on standby. ”

"Yes. ”

......

I fell down a few times, covered in mud, with the shell gun in my hand, and kept looking at the mud under my feet, the footprints were messy and clear, and they were stepped on by a team of more than ten people.

After turning a few corners and turning over a low post, there is no abnormal situation, and it should be about the same after walking another mile, the guard squad leader thought to himself. Pulling at the branches on the side of the road, he carefully slipped down a ridge, raised his upper arm to rub the sweat on his cheeks, raised his head, and fixed his gaze.

This is...... He was right......

I was thinking about whether to fire the warning directly, or quietly run back to tell Section Chief Xu, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart, and I didn't even have the strength to look back, so I had to bow my head with difficulty and look at the tip of the knife that came out of my chest...... All of them......

The tip of the knife suddenly vanished, and then nothing could be seen or heard.

......

The sky was dark, the ground was muddy, and the branches and leaves around me were wet and dark green, so I had to just stand. Section Chief Xu panicked inexplicably, this weather was too uncomfortable, he swayed two steps to a stone, raised one foot to scratch, and used the edge of the stone to cut off the wet mud on the edge of his shoe, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

Looking up at the muddy road, he asked the soldiers around him, "This is enough for him to walk for several miles, right?"

"It looks like it should be fine, the squad leader may be back soon. ”

"Hmm. Section Chief Xu exhaled a sullen breath, and felt a little more relaxed than just now: "Yes, I should be back soon." He touched his kettle and shook it, and then asked, "Do you have any water in that jug?"

The soldier smiled awkwardly: "I just drank it dry, Xiao Zhao has it." Then he turned his head and shouted into the woods: "Xiao Zhao, Xiao Zhao." ”

Xiao Zhao, who was guarding in the forest, did not respond.

"Hey, this kid ......."

Smack-

The gun rang out, not from a distant place in waiting, nor a barge gun in waiting, but in the woods beside him, but a clear and loud seventy-nine caliber rifle.

The head of the soldier in front of him swayed violently with the sound of the gunshot, and the moment his body stiffened, Section Chief Xu saw a series of blurry splashes that were pulled out in an instant in the direction he fell.

The abrupt scene in front of him made Section Chief Xu look stupid, his mind was blank, and his body was no longer dominated at all, as if he had lost contact with the blank brain.

Bang Bang Bang ...... Half a second later, more than a dozen gunshots rang out in the nearby woods.

There was a crackling sound of falling into the muddy water, and the seven warriors who stayed on the road had not even had time to react, and had already fallen straight into the mud, or buried their faces, or stared blankly at the dark sky.

Section Chief Xu was still standing, still blank, not shutting up, not blinking, if he fell, as if he was also dead.

There was a noise in the woods around him, and many people were about to come out, and a figure appeared not far in front, not tall, wearing a wet and dirty Eighth Route Army uniform, covered with large patches of mud and broken grass and fallen leaves, while pulling the strap and throwing the rifle behind his shoulder, he walked over with squinted triangular eyes, and walked in front of Section Chief Xu half a step away, and then stretched out a palm.

"Section Chief Xu, meet again. ”

Although his hands were shaking, he tried to move his hands behind his waist and wanted to touch his gun, but the person behind him pulled the gun out first.

The person in front of him smiled slightly: "It's not a good habit to shake hands with a gun. Actually, you should keep going, I didn't intend to hurt you, really, it was a last resort, but fortunately you weren't hurt. ”

At this time, a man came running over and reported something in Japanese.

Platoon Leader Ye raised his head, looked over Section Chief Xu's shoulder, looked at the muddy distance and thought about it, and still said in Chinese: "Now we have to get down to business, isn't three enough?"

......
