"Master, the banquet downstairs is about to end, and the master is looking for you everywhere."
"Understood." Gu Yan's frame was unhurried, with a lazy face, she glanced at the feasting lights not far away, her mind was still the scene she had just seen, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she said little by little enlarged.
"Master, let me say something more. You should change your temper. The last time you entered the police station, you have offended the master. Now the Japanese are increasing their troops in Feng'an. In name, the master is the governor of Feng'an. In fact No money, no money, no people. From Zhang Zhongxun to Bai Peiyong, everyone has their own ulterior motives, let alone those above, the military is also in disarray, and those students are restless, marching and petitioning every three days. The master has not slept for several days It's a good night's sleep, it's rare for you to come back once, so don't make the master angry again." The driver, Old Zhao, said earnestly.
Gu Yan lowered her head and didn't look back at him. She didn't take Lao Zhao's words to heart at all. She recovered after a long time and patted him on the shoulder: "I know it well. By the way, Uncle Zhao, help me find out what Shen's family is going to tonight. Is there a lady surnamed Xie among the female relatives at the banquet, who is about eighteen or nineteen years old."
As the night fell, Gu Yan looked at the brightly lit hall of the mansion, and hummed in a low voice, "Xie Liangchen, you are really interesting."
Xie Tao, who escaped early, knew nothing about what happened in the Banshan Mansion. After sending Xie Zhipei to the train the next day, Xie Tao breathed a sigh of relief. He just wanted to take a good rest, but he received a report from the Agni Army Academy to hold a military exercise. News, had to hurry back to school.
A total of three military trucks were dispatched for this exercise. The trucks drove on the rugged mountain road, and the trainees on the trucks were all in field combat uniforms.
As soon as he returned to school, he caught up with the exercise. Xie Tao sat in the corner, holding his submachine gun, thinking carefully about the content of the military exercise. Because this was Xie Tao's first official exercise when he came to Agni Military Academy, she couldn't help feeling a little worried. In the past, the opponents in the training were either students of the same level or familiar lecturers, but this time they were soldiers who had actually been on the battlefield and experienced the hail of bullets.
She has never seen a real war, and all her knowledge about war comes from her brother's dictation. Xie Liangchen often told her some stories on the battlefield, such as the battlefield full of bones, and the displaced war refugees. But what impressed Xie Tao the most was the mornings that emerged through the long and long words—when the sharp blade of light pierced the haze of darkness, the eyes full of hope were fortunate enough to see the dawn.
Xie Tao thought that the mission of a soldier should be to protect this hope.
The snoring of the yellow pine sounded in his ears, Xie Tao raised his head and looked ahead, the sky had become gloomy, the dark clouds above his head intersected and intertwined, as if they were about to fall down, the last bit of fragrance of the dew falling into the soil was also Disappeared in the sweltering air.
The car stopped slowly, and there was a dense jungle in front of us. From a distance, dark brown and dark green were mixed together, like a casually painted oil painting, which was pleasing to the eye. The trees here are tall and dense. It seems that no one has visited for many years, and the continuous flames of war at the foot of the mountain will not be able to burn out the green hope on this mountain. Taking a deep breath, the fresh and powerful smell rushed into my mind, and I immediately relaxed a lot.
"Good day." Huang Song didn't know when she woke up, pushed her with a serious face, "We're about to go."
The task of this military exercise is very simple, avoid the enemy's attack hidden in the woods, pass through, and reach the assembly point.
As soon as the whistle sounded, the students scattered like birds and beasts and ran into the forest. The dark green field uniform blended with the endless forest, which was unreal from a distance, and it was hard to tell which was a tree and which was a person.
Xie Tao followed Huang Song and the two of them all the way, and the two of them had honed a tacit understanding, and repeatedly caught the enemy by surprise, easily subduing the enemy.
At this moment, Huang Song's legs were hanging on the branches, and he was watching vigilantly at the enemies coming towards this side. The right hand pointed forward like a gun, and then hung upside down. The unsharpened dagger slashed forward, and an obvious blue mark appeared on the neck of an enemy soldier. The fallen legs jumped up again, and the dagger pressed against the vest of another enemy. Xie Tao, who received the gesture on the other side, sprang out of the grass, took out a pistol and pointed it at the forehead of the third enemy.
The movements of the two were quick and without delay, and they captured three enemy soldiers in just a few seconds. Huang Song ignored the eyes of the three enemy soldiers and pulled off the blue cloth strips from the arms of the three with a smile. Once the cloth strips are removed, it means sacrifice, and it means the failure of this blocking mission. The three enemy soldiers walked towards the death point dejectedly.
Fierce gunshots sounded from the front, and at the same time, a signal bomb from the rear flashed into the sky at high speed, and finally dissipated in red smoke.
Xie Tao frowned slightly, it seemed that something had happened. Hearing the gunshot, it was not his own person at all.
She hurriedly greeted Huang Song, Huang Song said, "I'll go ahead to see what's going on, you go back and find the place where the signal flare was sent out, there should be our people there."
"No, it's too dangerous for you to go alone."
Huang Song is not willing to let Xie Tao go into danger with him, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will play by ear."
Xie Tao couldn't move him, so he could only tell him, "Be careful!"
"Okay." Huang Song rushed out following the gunshots, and ran all the way through the forest. Before arriving at the location, he bumped into Shen Junshan, Ji Jin and Gu Yanjia who were squatting in the grass.
The gunfire stopped suddenly, and several people lost their direction and stopped in the forest.
"The gunfire disappeared, what should we do?" Ji Jin asked.
"We used blank shells for practice. The sound is wrong, and there are a lot of them. It should be two groups of people firing." Shen Junshan analyzed methodically.
"Oops." Huang Song slapped his head violently, "I have to go find Liangchen. Someone sent a distress signal just now, and Liangchen went to save people. It would be dangerous if he bumped into those people."
Gu Yan's complexion changed, and she hurriedly turned and left in the direction Huang Song said.
Shen Junshan was also a little anxious, and told Ji Jin: "You go to the headquarters to report the situation, and Huang Song and I will continue to look for Xie Liangchen."
The sky was getting dark, the dark clouds were completely suppressed, and the cold raindrops were slowly falling.
Xie Tao opened his eyes and struggled to get up, only to find that his ankle was in unbearable pain. He lifted up his trousers and saw that his ankle had been cut by a stone, and it was bleeding slowly.
After tearing off a piece of clothing and hastily bandaging the wound, she began to look at the situation in front of her. She must have fallen into a trap for hunting. The trap was covered with a layer of weeds again. First, he used the signal flare as bait to lure her to come, and then took advantage of her unpreparedness to push the self-study into the trap, and then covered it with weeds, obviously not wanting people to find Xie Tao at the bottom of the pit.
Who is trying to kill me
Lightning flashed in the air, and there was a loud thunder. In the blink of an eye, a familiar face appeared in Xie Tao's mind.
Li Wenzhong, it must be him!
Xie Tao gritted his teeth, stood up reluctantly, and began to climb up. The raindrops became more and more dense, and violently washed the unsolid ground. The soil around the trap became muddy. Xie Tao grabbed it hard but grabbed it With the silt in his hand, he lost his strength and was about to fall to the bottom of the pit again.
A figure suddenly appeared in the line of sight. Through the heavy rain, his handsome face brought a bit of urgency, and he stretched out his hand towards him.
"Shen Junshan?"
She raised her head and screamed, and then the big callused hand tightly grabbed her hand, pulling her up with all her strength.
In the torrential rain, Gu Yan frame searched for a long time in the forest, but Xie Tao was still missing, and couldn't help becoming irritable. While anxious, he vaguely saw a figure huddled under a tree, he was overjoyed, and hurried over to straighten the person.
"Xie Liangchen?"
"Dang!" A stick hit Gu Yanzhuan's head hard, followed by Qu Manting's sharp cry, Gu Yanzhuan's eyes went dark, and a large red color replaced the dark night.
He covered his head and saw who was in front of him clearly, and he was still in the mood to argue, "Why are you... Forget it, now we are even."
Qu Manting's clothes were disheveled. For some reason, she was alone in the wilderness. Judging by her posture, she must have something to do with the people who exchanged fire just now.
Qu Manting accidentally injured someone, panicked, she looked at Gu Yan frame bleeding profusely, a sense of guilt rose in her heart, but it was quickly replaced by fear, she curled her lips and shed tears of grievance, "Are you Came to save me?"
As if she couldn't take it anymore, Qu Manting burst into tears immediately, and opened her arms to throw herself on Gu Yanjiao's body.
Gu Yan froze, closed her eyes before she rushed over, and fainted neatly.
When she woke up, Gu Yan frame found herself lying in a clean and tidy bedroom. Although the bedroom is not big, it is decorated exquisitely. There are many bottles and jars on the dressing table. It seems that it should be a woman's boudoir.
This is where
Gu Yan frame frowned, trying desperately to recall what happened after being beaten, but accidentally pulled the wound, reached out to touch it, and what started with was the soft touch of gauze. It's just that the bandaging technique is too rusty, with one piece in the east and one piece in the west, which is irritatingly sloppy. With a little force from the hands, the gauze was torn off.
There was a clanging sound from downstairs, Gu Yan frame got up and staggered out of the bedroom and went downstairs to check. Just as she walked downstairs, Qu Manting's scream came from the kitchen. Gu Yan followed the sound and walked over, leaning against the kitchen door. Looking at the mess all over the place, he asked, "What are you doing
"You're awake!" Qu Manting happily turned around to look at Gu Yan's frame, she was in a mess, even worse than when she was in the wild just now.
Under the bright light, Qu Manting's face was black and gray, holding a kitchen knife in her left hand, and the lid of the pot in her right hand fell to the ground with a bang, and flames were blazing out of the pot.
"Hey! Your pot."
Qu Manting hurriedly turned around: "Ah! It's on fire!" In a hurry, she scooped up a ladle of water and poured it in. The fire was getting bigger and bigger. She threw away the kitchen knife and hurried back, "What should I do?"
Gu Yan frame sighed helplessly, walked over and picked up the pot lid that fell on the ground, put it on the pot, and said coldly: "Get out!"
On the carved red lacquered wooden dining table, there are two bowls of noodles. The golden-yellow poached eggs are fried just right, and the yolk will flow out when you gently pick up the egg yolk with chopsticks, which whets the appetite.
Gu Yan frame looked up at Qu Manting who was eating with her face buried in the bowl, and sighed heavily, "Okay, now tell me, where is this?"
Qu Manting ate noodles without raising her head, "My aunt's villa was cleaned a few days ago, and I planned to stay for a few days, but who would have thought that the Japanese would hunt down and kill me as soon as I went out. It's okay I escaped with my life."
"So the sound of firefights in the forest just now was you. But why is this little Japanese chasing you down? It thinks your singing is ugly." He asked this question, but he already had a plan in his heart. He caught Qu Manting, It was nothing more than to threaten Shen Tingbai. It's just that this operation failed, and I don't know what method will be used next time.
Qu Manting glared at him. She wanted to complain at first, but her gaze fell on his remaining half bowl of noodles, and she finally asked in disbelief, "Can I eat the rest?"
She actually ate up the bowl of noodles in front of her in such a short time. Gu Yan stared at the bowl in front of her in surprise, which seemed to have been washed. Qu Manting was uncomfortable being looked at by him, coughed, and explained calmly: "You are so heavy, I carried you away After such a long journey, of course I’m hungry.”
Gu Yan waved her hand frame, pursed her lips a few times, and finally closed her eyes helplessly.
"Let's eat, let's eat."
Qu Manting brought the bowl over and quickly finished the remaining food.
Qu Manting was still drinking soup, the lights outside the door flickered, and several cars stopped in front of the villa. The two stood up quickly, leaned carefully at the door, and secretly observed the movement outside. Shen Tingbai's steady figure was outlined in the thick night, Qu Manting was overjoyed, pushed open the door and ran out happily, Shen Tingbai hugged her tightly in her arms, and said in a stagnant tone: "I'm sorry, I It's too late, be scared."
"Small scene, I not only escaped by myself, but also saved someone." Qu Manting felt at ease, and she had already regained her spirits at this moment, and said with a proud face.
As soon as the words were finished, Gu Yan frame pushed the door very cooperatively and walked out.
Shen Tingbai was taken aback for a moment, and then put on a decent smile: "So it's Mr. Gu, let's go back together." He saw that the clothes on Qu Manting's body were dirty from the mud, and there were a few rips. Without any intention of being polite, he put his coat on Qu Manting's shoulders and got into the car with his arms around her.
Gu Yan raised his heels and walked over, looking at the pair of Bi people in front of him, he immediately dismissed the idea of teasing, and sat in the back with a sullen expression.
The thick night gradually engulfed the small villa in the forest, Gu Yan looked at the trees speeding past outside the window, feeling a little worried in her heart.
Xie Liangchen, she should be safe.
