Several people were all shocked, picking up their respective bags and running out the back door in a panic, drilling into the dense mountain forest behind the house.
They didn't know how many people had come to the village, so they could only hide honestly on the hill and wait for the soldiers to leave. However, they didn't hide for long, but the village below, which was originally quiet and peaceful, suddenly resounded with the sound of thumping gunshots.
Jiang Youfeng's complexion was shaken, and he fished out his pistol from his bag before going down the mountain.
Qiao Wen hurriedly stopped him, "Brother Feng, don't move yet!"
Jiang Yu Feng thought he was afraid of danger and said urgently, "Ajiao and the others took us in, I can't stand by and watch them suffer because of us. The three of you don't move, I'll go down alone, if something happens, you'll escape by yourselves."
"I'll go too." Chi similarly pulled out his gun and said with a determined look.
Qiao Wen tightly pulled Jiang Yu Feng's arm, "Brother Feng, listen to me, this village is not an ordinary village, if we go down rashly like this, we might add to the chaos, let's observe first."
Not only Jiang Yu Feng, but also the other two, a total of six eyes, all looked at him in unison, clearly because of the three-headed fog born from his words.
Qiao Wen saw Jiang Yu Feng calmed down, explained in a low voice: "These days I carefully observed, there are no old people or young children in this village, the youngest villagers are also in their teens, while the oldest visual estimate is not more than fifty, a normal village should not be like this. And ......" he paused slightly, "the fields near the village cottage, I looked carefully, almost all of them are deserted, and there are no poultry and livestock in the village cottage. But Ajiao said that they have been here for more than a year, which is clearly unlikely, so I suspect that this was originally an abandoned village cottage, which happened to be discovered by these people of theirs, and then used temporarily."
Jiang Yu Feng furrowed his brows and thought back following his words, it was true, he just hadn't paid any attention at all.
He pondered for a moment and asked, "Man, what do you mean they are?"
Qiao Wen said, "Think about it, now that China is allied with the Northern Army, and this is the territory of the Southern Army, yet they are so friendly to us few Chinese merchants, so I presume that they are from the Northern Army, and that they are supposed to be sneaking into this deep forest for some purpose. So these soldiers who somehow searched here don't necessarily shoot because they found our trail."
Jiang Yu Feng suddenly realized, "No wonder? I was saying that I was lucky to come across such simple mountain folk."
Qiaowen laughed, "After almost twenty years of fighting, I'm afraid the only thing that's left is a tough folk, hardly any simplicity."
The gunfire below had ceased as several men spoke.
Jiang Yu Feng was not quite at ease in the end, and whispered, "You guys hide here now, I'll go down and check out the commotion."
However, just as he was getting up, he suddenly heard a rustling sound not far away, and Jovian peeled back the shrubs to follow the sound, catching a glimpse of a section of yellow clothing in the distance; if he remembered correctly, the uniforms of the Anshar army were this color.
He frowned and whispered, "Brother Feng, someone is escaping over there, stop it!"
It turned out that after the exchange of fire in the village, some soldiers saw that the situation was not right and took advantage of the chaos to escape, ready to go back to the base camp to make a report.
Jiang Yu Feng's reaction is said to be God's speed, copied the pistol, touched the movement over there and chased after it, and when he came back again, he was already carrying two injured soldiers in one hand.
At the same time, the two siblings, Ajiao and Ah Ming, ran up panting and heaved a sigh of relief at the sight of the two wounded soldiers, then glanced at each other heartily and said, "Go back to the village and talk slowly."
The cruelty of war lies in the fact that, no matter which side, the lives of soldiers as individuals are like the lives of grass and ants. This small group of soldiers who had searched for the village somehow lost their lives, with no return.
As for the people in the village, two of them were also shot and killed in the engagement.
Luckily, their party had helped stop the two leaky fish, or else they were afraid they would soon have to become turtles in a jar.
Back inside the house, the Ajiao siblings called up three people from the village cottage and sat opposite the four of them, in a posture of preparation for a serious meeting. At the doorway stood several men with loaded guns.
Qiao Wen finally realized why Ajiao gave him the feeling of being extraordinarily capable at such a young age, thinking that he should be the leader of the group.
Ajiao withdrew that innocent look she usually had, and spoke with good grace, word for word, and Chi followed his words and began to translate.
"Those men just now were Ansar's soldiers, they said they were searching for a couple of Chinese who had escaped, you're not ordinary merchants, so what's your relationship with Ansar?"
Without answering, Jovian asked, "You're the Northern Army, right? Did the soldiers of Anshar just realize who you were and exchanged fire?"
Ajiao hesitated for a moment and nodded, "We are indeed from the Northern Army, and since China is a friend of the Northern Army, that is why we took you in earlier. Don't worry, since Ansha is hunting you guys, that means it is Ansha's enemy, we won't harm you guys. This group of soldiers exchanged fire with us, and it is also true that it is because they found out our identity, now they have come and gone, and it is expected that in a few days, there will be soldiers searching here again. We are going to look for another place, and you will have to make other plans as well. If you guys escaped from Ansha's lair, please also tell us the exact location of his lair?"
Jovian asked, "You guys are blending into these deep mountains to kill Anshar?"
Ajiao said, "To tell you the truth, we have received news that because the defeat in the south is finalized, Ansar is preparing to flee to the United States. And before that he purchased a batch of top quality grenades from overseas and is going to supply them to his superiors. Our mission was to wipe out Ansar and intercept this shipment of arms. But after Ansar retreated to the jungle, with his command centered on his outposts and camps in all directions, we had no way of knowing the exact location of his command."
A few of Jovian's people looked at each other in disbelief.
So it is.
Ansar, the vicious wolf, was already preparing to flee the country, so there is a rational explanation for what he did.
Because this is his last deal, kill their team of delivery fixer, randomly frame the robbers on the line, both got the goods and do not have to pay, can be said to be a sum of money enough to go to the United States empire of the pension money.
Jiang Yu Feng sank his face and said angrily, "Good An Sha!" Following that, he said to Ajiao, "Things have come to this point, let's also open up, we are the brokers who transported arms to An Sha, we didn't want him to kill us. Luckily, we were lucky and escaped, but a few of our brothers have already died at his hands. You guys saved us, we owe you a favor, since An Sha is our common enemy, your mission to assassinate An Sha to intercept the arms, count us in."
Qiaowen had originally planned to do the same, although it was dangerous to get involved in this kind of thing, but if Ansha wasn't removed, it would only be difficult for them to leave this place of wrongdoing on their own.
And Ansar had killed six of their brothers, so that revenge did need to be avenged.
Ajiao was simply overjoyed to hear Jiang Youfeng's words and said repeatedly, "Really?"
Jiang Yu Feng nodded his head.
Qiao Wen thought for a moment and said, "But this matter, we have to think long and hard. Nan's injuries also need to be recuperated for two more days, and I believe that these two days shouldn't be enough to search here again."
Chen Canaan said, "My injuries are already fine."
Jovian said, "Don't you dare show off."
Chen Canaan shut up resentfully.
Because each other have confessed their identity, Ajiao is no longer like before, always look innocent, waist hallowed a pistol, very leadership style.
Several people's sense of direction is very good, although it is confused and strayed here, or in the darkness of the night, but the route to come is almost remembered very clearly, not to mention the experience of the field force and adventure experience of the Qiaowen, or Jiang Youfeng such as the Jianghu people who have traveled all over the world, to accurately and accurately to recall the route map is also not a difficult task.
Once the map was drawn, the two parties began to figure out a plan of action.
Jiang Yu Feng Chen Canaan A Zhi three people are fighting in the line, changed into a war combat, that is the standard layman, can give effective advice, is really minimal.
However, in the course of the discussion, Qiao Wen showed an amazing talent, if not for the fact that the three of them knew his identity, they would have only thought that he had gone to the battlefield and fought in the war. In their surprise, the explanation given by Qiao Wen was that he would usually read some military books, and by the way, he reminded Chen Canaan, who was practically on the verge of revealing his admiration for him, to read more in the future.
Chen Canaan immediately put on an expression that the wind is too strong for me to hear.
The plan that was finally worked out was a night attack on the Ansar command two nights later.
After all, he had just escaped from there, and now he was going back, as if he had automatically jumped into the wolf's den, to say that he wasn't a little bit worried was definitely a lie. Especially Chen Canaan, look seems to be recovering well, but after all, after bleeding so much, to say really nothing, Qiao Wen certainly do not believe, not to mention the battlefield, is to walk such a long distance, I am afraid that the body can not be eaten.
The night before the departure, Qiao Wen took a shower and went back to the house, Ah Zhi and Jiang Youfeng were still swallowing clouds and puffing - he very much suspected that the two men's cigarette box is a bottomless pit, smoking for so many days and still not finished.
Chen Canaan, who was sitting on the floor, was lowering his head to remove the gauze on his waist and abdomen, and Qiao Wen wiped his hair as he walked over and said, "Don't get it, Brother Nan, I'll help you."
Chen Canaan let go of his hand and laughed, "How did you tie this gauze? It's kinda hard to remove."
Jovian sat down beside him and said, "It'll have to be removed from the back."
Chen Canaan turned around and turned his bare spine to him.
Because Chen's father did not allow it, he did not have a large tattoo on his body like the other members of the society, but only had a character for patience engraved on his left shoulder. It is said that his uncle, who is also his master, saw that he was quick-tempered and told him to learn to be patient. Later on, his uncle passed away, and no one knocked him down like this, so he got this character tattooed, so that he could always remember his master's teachings.
Jovian carefully removed the gauze and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
Chen Canaan turned to him relatively and reached out to point at the wound on his abdomen, "It's just this big of an injury, it's fine."
Qiaowen looked down towards his injury, the wound was indeed not big, but the size of two coins, and it already had a dark scab on it, and there was no longer any noticeable redness around it, so he thought that it really wasn't much of a problem.
"Still need to get well, don't touch it. For tomorrow night's action, you're with me, don't rush ahead."
On the side, Jiang Yu Feng said, "That's right, you two and Ah Zhi just hide yourselves, I'll fight with them in the lead, if you see something wrong, the three of you hurry up and escape, don't worry about me."
Qiao Wen said, "Brother Feng, I know that you want to kill An Sha handily to avenge your dead brothers, but you shouldn't rush ahead tomorrow. If something happens to you, a few of us won't have a good life back in Hong Kong City."
"That's true." Jiang Youfeng sighed,, "Don't worry, since I brought you here, I'll definitely bring you back personally."
Qiao Wen nodded, thought for a moment, then added, "These people of theirs are well-trained and experienced in combat, we'll just lead the way, and when we enter the command range, we don't need to rush ahead and kill people. What other countries are fighting has nothing to do with us, to put it bluntly, the only one who has a grudge against us is Ansha, and those soldiers of his are also innocent."
Jiang Yu Feng sighed, "Ah Wen is still kind-hearted, compared to you, I'm really an evil person whose hands are stained with blood." Saying that, he smiled to himself, "I also don't know if a person like me will go straight to hell when I die in the future?"
Chen Canaan said, "Brother Feng, don't say that. At least you've always taken care of us juniors, and you've never bullied anyone."
Jiang Yu Feng smiled and shook his head.
A few people were chatting when Ajiao, who was carrying two plates of fruits, pushed in the door, one for Zhi and Jiang Yu Feng, and one for Qiao Wen and Chen Canan.
Jovian took the fruit plate and said, "Thank you."
Since both sides confessed their identities, they realized that Ajiao knew a little bit of English, and the two of them didn't have to communicate through Chi anymore, and they didn't need to gesticulate like a mute.
Ajiao said, "Thank you for helping us, and when our revolution is won and our country is liberated, if there is a chance, I will go to Hong Kong City to see you."
Jovian smiled and nodded, "Yeah."
When agreeing on the night attack plan in these two days, Ajiao had already seen that this seemingly soft young man had wisdom beyond his years, and could be said to be the wise man amongst the few of them. The battle plan he gave was very rigorous, if not for the fact that he was indeed unarmed, she simply suspected that he had received professional military training.
The two chatted briefly in English for a while longer before Ajiao reluctantly said goodbye.
Chen Canaan, who was puffing and eating fruit, had been listening attentively with both eyes wide open while the two chatted, and nodded his head cooperatively from time to time, so that those who didn't know thought that he understood English.
It wasn't until Ajiao left that he asked, "What did you guys just say?"
Jovian smiled and said, "Just to double-check on some details for tomorrow."
Chen Canaan nodded, "I guess so." After a pause, he added, "Originally, I thought that Miss Ajiao was a mountain girl, but I didn't realize that people could still speak English."
Qiao Wen casually said, "Knowing some English is still very useful, when you return to Hong Kong City you will also go to learn English, more or less, it will be convenient in the future."
"It doesn't ...... work, does it? It's not like you don't know that reading is my least favorite."
Qiao Wen said, "A lot of things in this world are not done because you like them, but because they are useful. It's a deal, I'll personally teach you later."
Chen Canaan wailed and collapsed on the floor, sighing, "I suddenly feel that this village deep in the mountains is not bad, at least I don't have to study."
On the side, Jiang Yu Feng finally finished his cigarette and laughed, "Nan, if you want to get ahead, you have to read more, otherwise you can only mix with the society for the rest of your life, and I know you don't want to either, right?"
Chen Canaan said: "The words are so, but I'm not study material, in the past in the school, every time the test is the bottom, my father for this I do not know how many times to beat me."
Qiaowen said, "It's not like I'm asking you to go to college, it's not hard to learn some everyday English."
Chen Canaan feigned a yawn, rolled over, and pouted his butt: "So sleepy ...... sleep, these not so important things, say it later, say it later."
"Careful of pressure on the wound." Jovian shook his head and gave him a light pat.
Chen Canaan grunted and closed his eyes without moving.
Shaking his head breathlessly, Jovian swallowed the only banana left on the fruit plate into his stomach and lay down as well, ready for a good night's sleep.
I don't know if it was because he had already unconsciously integrated into this world and identity, but what he missed at the moment was the humble home in the city fortress.
On the evening of the next day, the well-prepared party, after a hearty meal, broke camp and set out toward the Ansar command on that side of the deep mountains.
Originally, four people were leading the way ahead, yet the dozens of pounds of banknotes were still buried under the large tree at the entrance to the mountain.
When the group was almost traveling here, Chen Canaan began to hold his abdominal wound and pretended that he couldn't walk fast, so Jiang Youfeng let Ah Zhi alone lead the way ahead, while himself and Qiao Wen held their wounded and tried to follow as far behind as possible.
Two million dollars is enough to turn normal people into bandits.
"Hey, how are you guys doing?"
Just as the three of them dug out the money and put it into separate bags, Ajiao's voice suddenly sounded ahead. Originally, the team had already walked out for some distance, and at this moment, seeing her go and return, the three of them were scared and their faces changed slightly.
Qiao Wen quickly reacted towards the returning girl, smiled and said back in English, "Nan's wound is a bit painful, so let him rest for a while, you don't have to worry about us, we'll keep up."
Ajiao walked over, her eyes skimming lightly over the three people's duffel bags and smiled, "I'm afraid you guys have fallen behind, the jungle is too dangerous at night, it's better not to walk separately."
Qiao Wen supported Chen Canaan, "Brother Nan, then you hold on, if it's not possible, we'll rest again."
Chen Canaan nodded.
Ajiao led the three of them to follow the large group, and after walking for a while, she coldly said, "Wen, you guys risked your lives to help us accomplish our mission, I'll keep this favor in my heart and will never let anyone touch what's in your bags."
The English she used was naturally the only one Jovian understood, and he froze slightly, meeting the girl's Akagi gaze and curving his lips into a smile that opened, "Thank you."
War turns people into ghosts, but there are always normal people.
Compared to the night they had fled, with these experienced partisans, it could be called very smooth. There was only this one direction that could lead to the Ansar command, and on several other sides, not blocked by great mountains, were stationed his camps, wrapping the command in the midst of them.
The bloody battle began when the only sentry post appeared ahead at just after 2:00 am. Since no gunfire could be made to avoid alerting the nearby camp, this bloodbath could only be fought by the blade of the sword.
Qiaowen was originally worried, know see a few soldiers of the front team, did not enter the grass, like a snake slipped to the sentry, silent ten minutes passed, sentry lights toward the lurking in place they hit a few times.
Ajiao said, "It's okay!"
Even Jiang Yu Feng was surprised, "That's enough?"
No one answered their queries, for the party had continued to creep forward. It was late at night, and the command, except for the soldiers on night patrol, had long since fallen into a deep silence.
When the patrolmen were also put down without a sound, the group sneaked into the command headquarters in a ghostly manner, following the previously planned route.
Earlier, Jiang Youfeng was still thinking of killing his enemies hand to hand, but when he arrived here, he realized that there was no place for him to use it, it was simply a group of horrible killing machines.
No shots rang out, only an occasional groan of pain, yet it was gone before it was fully spat out.
Command total plus guards and beautiful women, a total of only thirty or forty people, so in their sleep was killed a clean. Born under the red flag grew up under the red flag of Qiao Wen, the first time to see this horrible killing scene, although it is in the night, and did not really witness the cruelty of it, but guarded in the dark on sentry duty, he clearly smelled the rich blood.
Obviously it was a hot jungle area, he still couldn't resist a jolt, just then, his chilled hand was held by a warmth, Chen Canaan whispered in his ear, "Xiao Qiao, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Qiao Wen wasn't afraid, he just felt that the war was too cruel, but Chen Canaan's hand still made him feel ironic, and he whispered back, "Brother Nan, I'm fine."
The two men's hands clasped together in the darkness.
I don't know how long it took, perhaps just a short moment, yet it felt like a century had passed. Ajiao ran in front of several people and said, "It's all been taken care of, the comrades are already moving the grenades in the storehouse, you guys quickly come in with me and change into your uniforms,"
A few people entered the Ansar room, and the evil wolf who had nearly buried them was now lying on the floor with two beautiful women, bloody.
Ajiao took a few uniforms and tossed them to them, saying, "You guys get changed, and I'll find out if Ansha has any other important items here."
However, just as Qiaowen had just put on his uniform, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong on the bed, and turned his head to see that it was Ansar, who had originally been dead, suddenly raising a gun into the air.
Seeing that he was about to pull the trigger, Qiao Wen's body, at that moment, as if with divine help, leapt out two meters, grabbed An Sha's hand holding the gun and pressed it down, and with one hand, he picked up the pillow next to him and covered his face.
The gun fired in the end, only to be held tightly against the pillow by Jovian, with only a low muffled thud, followed by the muffled grunt of Ansar being shot under the pillow.
A few people in the room reacted to what had happened, and they were all almost frightened out of their wits.
If Ansar's shot managed to chime into the sky, everything would be lost tonight.
Chen Canaan, in the moment he regained his senses, almost immediately stepped forward and dragged Qiao Wen away from the murder scene in his arms, "It's fine, it's fine, he was already going to die, this isn't considered murder, you're saving us all."
Originally, Qiaowen was also terrified, and his tense and nervous reaction like this made him relax a few points, "I'm fine."
Ajiao came over and said a serious thank you.
Jovian didn't need the thanks, but he was certain that the money in their bag was definitely safe.
Ansar is completely dead this time, and Jovan finds a tank of gasoline, splashes it on the boards inside the house, and lights a candle. Changing into Ansar's army uniforms, the group pushes the grenade towards the docks.
The patrol soldiers at the pier, since they could not guess that an army had bloodied their command without a word, really thought that the general had ordered a temporary transfer of arms, and even assisted them in transporting grenades on board the ship, stood on the shore with a military salute, and watched the people leave.
And in a few minutes the gas was blazing in the direction of the command, and the camp, alarmed all around, ran toward the source of the fire, and no one cared any more for the two vessels that were gradually pulling away.
A few men looked away from the chaotic scene in the distance and sat back on the deck as they unloaded, breathing a long sigh of relief.
As dawn approached, they saw normal villages and boats appearing in the vicinity, and for fear of a long night's sleep, the men decided to say goodbye to these people.
Ajiao knew what was on their minds and instructed the helmsman to stop the ship for the time being, allowing them to get off the nearby passenger ship dock.
"Thanks, guys! Have a safe trip." Ajiao shook hands with them one by one, as if they were revolutionary comrades.
Jovian: "Good luck with your revolution."
Ajiao smiled and nodded, returning to the ship and standing on the deck, waving goodbye to them.
Qiaowen felt as if a light shone from this girl, and no matter what the future held, revolutionaries who threw their heads and spilled their blood were always praiseworthy.
But it was also after completely losing sight of them all that he had the illusion of truly being out of the devil's den.
