Chapter 32: The Cannon
Seeing that they were all resting, I couldn't sleep. Actually, I wasn't excited just now, but I was blown by a cold wind, and I started to think about something else in my head.
If I had been born in this era, would I have been able to do justice in the face of such a situation? Perhaps, this comparison is useless, after all, the values at that time were different from my time. Even people in the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century had very different values from mine.
After all, if you are going to die for a lifetime, you will still be a little nervous. I still think about my father and mother and Lu Jia in my head. If I die in Zhu Di's camp, will I go back to modern times to be my lonely ghost? Will I never be able to go back, and I'll be gone? There will be no need for that vegetative person over there to survive anymore. Maybe that's fine, so you don't have to drag people down.
It was like a joke that God played on me, and it wiped out all my hopes in an instant. My significance in this place has become insignificant, and it will not be long before I have to fight for the happiness of others in this unaccompanied place. I hurt when I'm hurt, and like them, I haven't experienced death, and I don't know what it's like to die.
No, although the brain is thinking wildly, it has not lost its mind. The last thing written on the book was "Mou Wen", yes, it was not a "twilight news" at all. In fact, in this very absurd history, there was really a person named Mou Wen. Then the meaning of my existence here has not disappeared.
I was happy again, and I was startled by the presence of a person standing next to me.
"How did you come here. I glared at Luo Shicheng with some anger.
"It's not early, it's time to go. He turned away without giving me an "oh" sound.
We can't go out of the city through the gates. In a place where there would be no Northern soldiers watching, we pulled a few ropes down from the top of the city and slid down the ropes. Let's call us death squads. Luo Shicheng found twenty-five people, plus me and Luo Shicheng for a total of twenty-seven people. The twenty-five of them are all carefully selected people with a bit of kung fu foundation. Slipping off a rope is definitely no easier than climbing up a rope. Although I was fully prepared for protection, when I landed, my hands and inner thighs were grinding and aching. The half-grown kids must have been sadder than me, and I saw that some of my pants were worn out.
We were all dressed in the standard uniforms of the Northern Army, except with a white strip of cloth tied around our necks. It is for the discerning of one's own people in the dark.
Zhu Di's camp is naturally in the north of the city, and we have to make a big detour to get there, and before that, we have to let these boys get used to the pain of rubbing a rope.
Zhu Di's camp was actually designed according to a certain formation. The tents were arranged in groups of three or five, and they were arranged very regularly.
"There are twenty-seven of us, divided into nine groups, each group of three people......" I divided the team outside Zhu Di's camp first, "Our target is Zhu Di's grain and grass and warm cotton clothes, as well as his red-clothed cannon." Check the fire folds and tung oil on each of them. Remember, don't fight with the soldiers of the Northern Army, and evacuate immediately in case of emergency. We still meet in this place. Wait only half an hour, and if you don't come back in half an hour, you will be considered dead. ”
The truth is so cruel, it would be nice to have a third of these twenty-seven people back tonight.
"The red-clothed cannon is the killer weapon that Zhu Di will use next, I am responsible for destroying it, and I need a team to cooperate. "I offered to destroy the Red Cannon, partly because I was curious about what the cannons of that era were like. The idea that the barrel can be disassembled into an iron ring and then assembled into a barrel is ridiculous. The firing canister of the gun must be a seamless steel pipe, and the requirements are very strict, otherwise it will explode.
"I'll cooperate with you. Luo Shicheng said, with a tone of unquestionable and rejected.
Zhu Di's military camp was too big, and after entering, he found that if there was no map or something, it was no different from getting lost. Fortunately, there are a lot of people coming and going in the camp in the middle of the night, and a few of us don't need to be too hidden when we walk inside. And Zhu Di didn't expect that there would be Southern soldiers infiltrating his camp, so he didn't even set up a code. Walking in the barracks, there were still people who greeted us.
The further you walked towards the center of the barracks, the fewer soldiers walked back and forth. The denser the tents and fires.
"I said, we're looking so blindly, when will we find the red-coated cannon?" A young man named Zhao Shun from my team began to become anxious, and I also knew that I was getting deeper and deeper into the enemy camp, and it was inevitable to be afraid.
"The artillery will certainly not be on the periphery of the barracks, only in the center of the barracks. Let's go inside, why are the tents here so evil, they all look exactly the same. "To be honest, I'm more anxious than him, but this operation is under my command, and I must not even see the shadow of the cannon and be taken down.
I continued to walk in with two people, and I didn't know what was burning in the brazier supported by a stand on the side of the road, emitting a faint blue light. Moreover, the distance between the brazier and the brazier is near and far, and there are several shadows of the people who shine on them.
"Mr. Mu Wu, I feel like we walked through here just now. Another young man named Qian Si suddenly pulled me and whispered to me.
"yes, I feel like I've turned back. Zhao Shun also echoed on the side.
And this kind of thing? How can you encounter ghosts hitting the wall in the barracks? Although I vaguely feel a little strange, I don't believe in this kind of thing that only exists in ghost novels. But listening to the two of them speak so eloquently, I can't help but be suspicious.
"So, let's make a mark on this tent and see if we will come here again. "Isn't that the easiest way to see if it's going to be in a loop? The surrounding tents seem to me to be a virtue, and I can't tell them at all, and they don't mark one, two, three, or four on them, what if you go wrong and see something you shouldn't see.
I tore a hemp rope from my body, tied it to the tent beside me, and continued on with the two suspicious fellows. This time I began to pay close attention to the tents around me, they were all black, and I couldn't tell if there was anyone inside. I didn't seem to meet anyone along the way, but it was in stark contrast to the bustle outside.
"Mr. Mu Wu, look. ”
The young man was sharp-eyed, and he saw the hemp rope on the tent in front of him from afar. That's what I tied. This is really a ghost hitting the wall. I started to panic, my mind was blank for a long time, and what the two boys said in my ear, I listened but my mind didn't process it and went out again.
Yes, I've also read those weird novels, what the hell hits the wall and the ghost is on the body, it's all a trick to pretend to be a ghost. How to crack it, how to crack it. It seems that my thoughts just stop here and I can't go on. Are the methods described in those fanciful novels really reliable? Even if they were, I can't think of what to do.
"What should we do, Mr. Mu Wu?" Qian Si spoke with a crying voice, "Could it be that Zhu Di really knows how to exorcise ghosts?"
"What the hell, where is the ghost, this must be a very powerful formation mechanism, we can't get in or out. I was shaken awake by Qian Si, "It's useless to cover your head now." Wait a minute, I don't know if Luo Shicheng has also entered the agency. Let's hope he's not as unlucky as we are. ”
The three of us just had to find a tent and just get into it. If you see the soldiers of the Northern Army, they will say that we have gone wrong and cannot find a place. It is estimated that it is normal for such a large camp to make a mistake, not to mention that there is such a shameless ghost hitting the wall. What should I do when people ask? As soon as I ask, I will be exposed, and then there will be all kinds of abuse, and I will be the happiest to catch and parade in the streets, and if I don't get it, I will cut off my head and throw it into Jinan City. I don't dare to think about it anymore.
Finally someone came, and you can go out with them.
That's exactly what I thought the moment I saw the figure. But Qian Si and Zhao Shun still made a more correct reaction. They pulled me to the back of a tent.
"Who? What are you doing there?"
I went, but was still discovered. It's still my bad thing at the critical time, if it weren't for the short-circuit in my brain and still thinking about going out, I wouldn't have been discovered.
