The lieutenant looked at Chen Jianqiu, who was about to lie in the chair in front of him, and his anger did not decrease.

"What are you doing here? Wait until I shoot you with a gun? The lieutenant asked angrily.

"I'm staying here today, you need to leave me a bed." Chen Jianqiu was half-lying in the chair, looking like a scoundrel to the end.

The lieutenant called the adjutant in.

"We don't have any spare beds here." The lieutenant said viciously, "Don't forget, you tied up my son. ”

He turned to the adjutant: "Throw him in a cage and keep him with that middle-aged Indian woman." ”

The adjutant dragged Chen Jianqiu up from his chair: "Sir, do you want to tie him up?" ”

"No, he can't make much of a fuss with me, unless he wants to eat guns." The lieutenant waved his hand and signaled to get the Chinese out quickly.

"Hey, you can't do this to me, your son and my brother can eat and drink deliciously! Besides, I came to be a hostage myself, and you just treated me like this? Chen Jianqiu expressed his displeasure moderately, but soon two heavily armed soldiers walked in.

"Get out of here!" The lieutenant's rage has reached a critical point.

Chen Jianqiu was taken out.

The lieutenant called the adjutant to the table and together they began to look at the map and discuss possible locations for tomorrow.

"Sir, will they have an ambush?"

"No way, I understand, there are only three of them, and one of them is injured, what if there is an ambush." The lieutenant disagreed,

"Tomorrow you find three clever ones to follow me. Leave one or two people in the camp, and all the rest you take, follow us, keep your distance, don't let the Chinese notice, but not too far, make sure that something really can come at once. ”

The adjutant nodded, but quickly asked another question: "What about the men on Morris's side, the sentry reported that they had set up camp not far from us." ”

"If they make a move, kill them all!"

The lieutenant's order was extremely severe, but what was said afterwards made the lieutenant shudder.

"It's almost time to start trading, you guys, quietly surround you, and when we rescue the second lieutenant, the others, kill them!"

After all, it was Morris who brought it out, and even the idea was the same, and the lieutenant from the beginning did not want anyone in the know to live except him.

When the lieutenant had finished his order, he sat back in his chair and slowly sipped his cup of coffee.

……

Chen Jianqiu was approached by two soldiers with guns against him.

He looked back and looked at it, and was amused, one of the soldiers had gauze wrapped in his hand, wasn't this the one who had just been bitten.

The soldier found that Chen Jianqiu was staring at his hand, and kicked him angrily, but he didn't see much movement from the person in front of him, but he kicked on the iron cage.

The iron cage was motionless, but his feet were swollen, and new wounds were added before the old wounds had healed, and the soldier sat on the ground and began to wail.

Chen Jianqiu stood aside and looked at him with a grin.

The other soldier couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward and opened the door of the iron cage, and made a gesture of invitation to Chen Jianqiu.

Chen Jianqiu was also not polite, swaggered in, and did not forget to say thank you, watching the wounded soldier limp away.

When there was no one nearby, he turned around and looked into the corner of the cage.

Asuka's mother looked much weaker than just now, with a little blood on the corner of her mouth, she had actually felt the movement in the cage, and wanted to open her eyes to see what was going on, but her body didn't even have the strength to move.

Chen Jianqiu saw the scene in front of him, and secretly said in his heart.

I'm afraid, these beasts didn't give her anything to eat, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to survive tomorrow.

He stepped forward, gently grasped the woman's bony wrist, motioned for her not to move, and then tore off the corner of his cloth vest to wipe the blood from the corner of the old man's mouth.

He walked to another corner near the rim of the cage, sat down cross-legged, and began to shout, "Where's Lao Tzu's dinner?" Lao Tzu wants to drink water! You sons of bitches! ”

The voice is getting louder and louder, and the more the words are scolded, the more ugly they become.

It didn't take long for the adjutant to come over with two soldiers. Approaching the cage, he took a bag of water and a piece of bread from the soldier and threw them into the cage.

"Hey, are the beds we arranged for you comfortable?" The adjutant bent over and looked closer into the cage.

"Yes, the environment is okay, it's safe." Chen Jianqiu picked up the water bag and bread.

The adjutant laughed and turned away, treating this person as a bottomless, shameless hillbilly in his heart.

As the adjutant left, the smile on Chen Jianqiu's face suddenly disappeared, and he hurriedly returned to the woman, opened the water bag, and slowly fed the water into the woman's mouth.

The woman's throat heaved slightly, and after a few sips, water spilled down the corners of her mouth.

Chen Jianqiu carefully wiped the corners of the woman's mouth, turned around and took the bread, and broke a small piece from the corner. He looked around and found no containers.

He picked up his left hand, poured a little water into his palm, and then put the corner of bread in it, dipping it little by little.

He didn't really want to shove something as hard as iron straight into Mother Asuka's mouth.

The bread has become a little softer under the influence of water. Chen Jianqiu carefully sent the bread in.

Asuka's mother was no longer able to chew and even had difficulty swallowing, so Chen Jianqiu had to feed the woman a little more water.

After a while, probably because of some food, the woman's eyes slowly opened.

She saw Chen Jianqiu and sat up slowly, with her arms crossed over her chest, her right forearm against her body, her right hand clenched into a fist at the position of her heart, the back of her hand facing outward, and her left wrist pressing against her right wrist.

It was a sign language of the North American Indians, and it took a long time for the woman.

Chen Jianqiu looked at the woman quietly and waited patiently, although he couldn't fully understand, but combined with the old man's demeanor, it should be a kind of gratitude to him.

In his own way, he also tried to send a message to the woman, telling her that someone would come to her tomorrow.

Looking at the young man dancing in front of her, a smile appeared on the woman's face, as if she understood.

The communication seems to be much smoother, although the two don't understand each other's language at all, but sometimes, the communication after trusting each other doesn't need to care too much about the details.

……

The next morning, Chen Jianqiu was awakened by the crisp call of birds in the valley, a small brown bird perched on top of a cage with pink feathers on the rim of its wings, back and chest.

Chen Jianqiu recognized this bird, it was called the Brown-topped Ridge Sparrow, and the bird had told him the origin of this bird.

He believed that the bird would bring him good luck today.
