At this time, Leonardo parachuted at the last critical moment. Before the parachute was fully opened, he fell into the dense woods. Fortunately, a large number of branches blocked the parachute and caught him, so he survived.
Not daring to delay, he immediately cut off the rope, looked back at the plane that crashed to the ground and exploded, and ran deep into the woods.
What he was thinking about at this time was to stay as far away from the plane as possible. In this case, the possibility of Japanese soldiers finding him would be reduced.
It would be great if we could escape from the Japanese-occupied area.
At this time, the lens keeps changing.
The group of Japanese soldiers were running quickly through the woods with their Sanba Gaigai in their hands.
Immediately afterwards, three farmers, one in front and two behind, were also running quickly.
Leonardo couldn't tell the direction alone, but he kept looking back at the burning flames of the plane, determined it as the coordinates in the opposite direction, and always ran in the direction with his back to it.
While running, Leonardo suddenly heard footsteps, so he immediately threw himself into the dense bushes and rolled to the bottom of a slope. He nervously held his breath and listened to the movement above.
At this time, the screen switched to the team of Japanese soldiers. One of the Japanese soldiers suddenly shouted: "There seems to be movement over there!"
A group of Japanese stopped immediately. The Japanese soldier pointed to the bushes not far away and whispered: "I heard something moving there!"
The captain immediately made a sign of outflanking, and everyone nodded immediately, holding guns and spreading out, forming a semicircle to outflank the bushes.
Leonardo was nervous and scared at this time. He carefully took out his pistol and loaded it, preparing to fight the Japanese to the death.
At this time, the Japanese in the picture had surrounded them, facing the bottom of the small slope, and the captain signaled everyone with a sinister look to pick up their bayonets.
Everyone immediately raised their bayonets high like fishermen doing when catching fish with harpoons.
Then, the captain made three numbers with his fingers, and everyone suddenly stabbed their bayonets together.
At this time, several black shadows suddenly appeared above Leonardo's head.
Just when the audience thought that Leonardo was discovered by the Japanese and might even die under the bayonet, the scene returned to the scene of the Japanese wielding the bayonet. Suddenly, a frightened hare jumped out of the bushes and ran away in panic. Far.
The captain was stunned for a moment, then kicked the soldier who had said there was movement before and cursed: "Asshole!"
The soldier was kicked to the ground and hurriedly stood up and bowed: "I'm sorry, I saw it wrong!"
The captain shouted: "What are you doing standing still? Keep moving forward! If the pilot of the Flying Tigers escapes, I will kill you!"
At this time, the scene returned to Leonardo.
The moment Leonardo nervously picked up the gun, he realized that the figures that suddenly appeared were not Japanese soldiers, but three men dressed as Chinese farmers.
With beads of sweat on his head and face, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said in broken Chinese: "I am a Flying Tigers pilot, I... I..."
As he said that, he didn't know how to continue, so he hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his pocket, which said in Chinese: I am a member of the Flying Tigers. Please hand me over to the Flying Tigers or the National Government, and they will reward you with ten taels. gold.
The older farmer said: "I can't read. Come with us quickly, otherwise the Japanese will come and we'll be in trouble!"
Leonardo didn't understand what this meant, so the older farmer simply grabbed his sleeve and pulled him in the direction he came from.
Leonardo followed them hurriedly until night, before running into a small village at the foot of the mountain.
The old farmer took Leonardo directly back to his home. As soon as he opened the door and walked in, his daughter was sewing clothes in the thatched house with an oil lamp. Although the girl was dressed very plainly and there was no trace of makeup, she Still heart-stoppingly beautiful.
Du Wei appeared at this time.
Seeing her father bringing back a foreigner, Du Wei was frightened and asked hurriedly: "Dad, who is he?"
This was the first time Leonardo and Du Wei met. In the dilapidated thatched house, under the dim flickering oil lamp, Leonardo was attracted by Du Wei's pure and flawless face, and his whole person felt a little dull.
The man said at this time: "This is the pilot of the Flying Tigers. His plane has fallen. I guess the Japanese are looking for him everywhere. They may find him here soon. I will prepare some food for you. Go and get it." I gave him a set of clothes, and then immediately took him up the mountain and hid him in the small cave in the back mountain."
When Du Wei heard this, her panic immediately disappeared. She nodded and started to help prepare things.
After a while, Du Wei in the picture quietly slipped out of the door with Leonardo carrying a baggage.
After leaving the door, Leonardo asked her in a low voice in English: "Where are we going?"
Du Wei didn't speak English, so she made a silent gesture at him and led him out of the village, climbing up the mountain in the dark under the dim moonlight.
Leonardo followed her into the mountain, and then asked again: "Girl, where are we going?"
Du Wei said directly in Chinese: "Every time a Flying Tigers plane comes down, the Japanese and the Japanese will come to search. In the past, the villagers dared to hide the pilots in cellars or dry wells, but the Japanese are not that easy to fool." , we can find the person every time. Not only is the pilot's life at risk, but the villagers who hide him will also suffer. So we have to stay away. The Japanese are not familiar with the mountain roads here. If they can't be found in the village, they will Go to another village.”
Leonardo couldn't understand what she was saying at all, so he had to say awkwardly: "Girl, I don't understand what you are saying. Do you speak English?"
After finishing speaking, he said mockingly: "I think too much. If you could speak English, you would have spoken it long ago... Hey, you know, I really regret now that I didn't study Chinese properly during the time I came to the Flying Tigers." , otherwise I can communicate with you.”
Du Wei also said in Chinese, "You wait in the mountains for a few days. When the Japanese relax, my father will find a way to send you back to the Flying Tigers."
"Flying Tigers!" Leonardo understood these three Chinese words and immediately said excitedly in broken Chinese: "I am a member of the Flying Tigers! Flying Tigers! Fight the Japanese!"
Du Wei nodded and said, "I know you are a member of the Flying Tigers, and I know that your Flying Tigers fight against Japanese invaders."
Leonardo chuckled and said: "Yeah, Yeah, fly a plane to fight the Japanese, da da da da da."
Seeing him dancing, Du Wei couldn't help but laugh and said: "Why were you so careless when fighting the Japanese, and let the Japanese beat you down?"
Leonardo didn't understand either and said with a smile: "Girl, you know, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. In Texas, I know many fashionable blonde beauties, but they add up to None of them can compare to you, I fell in love with you from the first moment I saw you!"
Du Wei groped her way and said, "The foreign language you speak is so gibberish that I can't understand a word of it."
The two of them were talking to each other, but neither of them knew what the other was saying.
After walking for a long time, Du Wei took Leonardo up a seemingly impassable cliff. There were many crooked trees on the cliff, which became a support for climbing.
Leonardo climbed up with Du Wei, and then miraculously discovered that Du Wei found a narrow entrance between two trees. Before entering the entrance, Du Wei took out an earthy fire folding bag from his pocket, which contained The rolled up dry grass that was not burned out had a faint red light inside after it was opened.
Then Du Wei blew a few puffs at the red light and soon blew out a flame.
The flames illuminated Du Wei and the entrance.
Although the entrance is very narrow, there is a cave inside. It is a cave about dozens of square meters in size. There are oil lamps, haystacks and a few old and patched cloths in the cave.
Du Wei lit the oil lamp, spread a piece of cloth on the haystack, and hung another piece of cloth in the hole to block the light. Then she took out a few golden cakes and a gourd of water from the bag, and said to Leonardo He gestured and said, "This is called Baba. It's for eating. It's filled with water and you can drink it."
Although Leonardo didn't understand, he could understand. He nodded hurriedly and said, "Thank you."
Du Wei returned the smile and said, "You don't have to write to me. I just want to thank you. My father said that you foreigners have traveled thousands of miles to help us fight the Japanese. You are good people and are kind to us."
After saying that, Du Wei stood up and said, "You have a good rest. I'm going back. I will come over to bring you food tomorrow. You must not walk around casually. It will be terrible if the Japanese find out."
Leonardo didn't understand, but when he saw Du Wei stood up, he hurriedly asked: "Are you leaving?"
Du Wei couldn't understand what he said, so she put her hands on her face and gestured, "Have a good sleep. See you tomorrow."
Seeing Du Wei turn around to go out, Leonardo hurriedly took out a Zippo lighter from his pocket, opened the cover to light the flame, and said to Du Wei: "Take it, it can help you light the way, you just blew it That thing is too strenuous.”
As he spoke, he gestured like blowing a fire stick, then waved his hand, pointed at the lighter, and gave a thumbs up.
When Du Wei saw the lighter, she said curiously: "Ah, this thing is so powerful, you can light it with just a wipe!"
Then seeing that Leonardo seemed to be giving him the lighter, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I can't have it!"
Leonardo kept pushing the lighter to her, saying: "Take it, take it."
Du Wei understood what he meant, shook her head and said, "If the Japanese find this thing, it will be over. I can't have it..."
Leonardo understood the word "devil" and instantly understood what Du Wei meant. He could only nod his head in frustration: "I understand what you mean. Well, when the war is won, I will give it to You! I'll keep it for you first."
Du Wei didn't understand, but seeing that he gave up, she smiled sweetly and waved to him: "I'm leaving."
Leonardo watched Du Wei go out and hurriedly followed her out to watch her go.
Soon, Du Wei's figure disappeared into the night.
Leonardo then returned to the cave feeling lost and sat in a daze under the oil lamp.
After a moment, he stared at the flickering flames and murmured: "Mom, I want to marry that girl, even though I don't even know her name..."
