After Mao Xin finished eating the fish, he said to Chen Tianhua:

"If the weather is nice, Chen Gang and I will go get some wild mushrooms, capture some wild rabbits, pheasants, etc., and bring them with us to cook and eat in the evening. We will sleep until tomorrow, and then we will walk out of the woods.

We’ve arrived at the county seat.”

"Okay, you go ahead. Miss Xu and I are waiting for you by the lake."

Zuo Gang and Mao Xin each carried a Murata rifle and went into the woods on the opposite side of the lake.

Chen Tianhua picked up an empty water bag, filled it with cool water from the lake, handed it to Xu Yunyuan and said:

"Ms. Xu, eat slowly and drink some water to help digestion and absorption. You are in recovery now and need protein nutrition very much."

Xu Yunyuan took the water bag and gave him a thankful glance, then continued her chewing of the fish.

However, most of the fish meat was eaten by her. The high-protein food made her mouth dry and she really needed water to reconcile it.

Chen Tianhua also drank water from another water bag. The water in this lake was very clear and sweet, completely natural and pollution-free.

After drinking the water, he lay on his back on the grass and bathed in the sun, covering his eyes with clothes.

Just as they were relaxing, a "bang..." gunshot was heard from the woods not far away.

Xu Yunyuan turned pale with astonishment. The water bag in her hand fell to the grass and splashed water, "Young Master!"

She finally took the initiative to speak.

"Don't be nervous, it's Zuo Gang and the others who are hunting." He comforted.

Without opening his eyes, he could tell from the gunshot that it was the sound of bullets fired from the chamber of Murata's gun.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, "bang bang..." there were two more shots.

Now he became alert and suddenly stood up from the grass, staring at the direction of the gunfire.

Zuo Gang and Mao Xin would not be so extravagant and save bullets.

Only then did he realize that the direction of the gunfire was not from Maoxin at all. The forest Zuo Gang entered was far away from both sides.

"No, the security team is here!"

The first thing he thought of was the security team of Yaojin Mining. Could it be that they were following them across the border?

There is no room for him to think too much now, so he should avoid it first.

He stood up quickly, stepped forward, grabbed the rifle with his right hand, held Xu Yunyuan's hand with his left hand, fled desperately into the woods on the left, and hid behind a big tree to observe.

When Xu Yunyuan heard the word "security team", her nerves suddenly became tense, her face turned pale and her whole body twitched, and her whole body was shaking non-stop.

She hid behind Chen Tianhua, hugged his waist involuntarily, and pressed her head against his generous back.

Chen Tianhua hugged her shoulders and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I will take care of everything!"

He first opened the rifle's case to check. There were only three bullets in it, but the pistol was still full of six bullets.

Then he put it back into the gun, pulled the bolt to open the safety, and stared at the direction from which the gunshot came, in a state of first-level combat readiness.

The direction of the gunshot was indeed not from where Mao Xin and the others entered the forest. Chen Tianhua further confirmed.

How could the Yaojin security team search here?

Do they have military dogs with an extraordinary sense of smell?

Nowadays, there are hunting dogs in the late Qing Dynasty, but German purebred military dogs are not even equipped for Li Cunzhi’s new army. I guess the security team cannot have them, right?!

But the fact is that they have already followed them. How many people are there?

At this time, Chen Tianhua's nerves were in a state of high tension and his mind was thinking at high speed.

Suddenly, from the forest where the gunshots were fired, a strong man in his thirties, dressed in the costume of a local mountain man, fled out of the dense forest.

Panting, he ran towards the lake on the edge of the grass.

The strong man had many scratches on his body, and his clothes and pants had been scratched by branches and became tattered and stripped.

When he saw the lake, he threw his whole body into it, opened his mouth and drank the water desperately.

It seemed that he was exhausted from running all the way, coupled with the high level of tension and excessive secretion of adrenaline, it was inevitable that he would have a dry mouth.

Chen Tianhua watched him closely, his mind analyzing rapidly like ultrasound.

After a while, two young men, also dressed in local mountain folk costumes and holding Murata standard rifles in their hands, chased out of the woods where the man had escaped.

When a man saw the escapee jumping into the lake and drinking water, his ferocious look suddenly appeared. He picked up the gun in his hand and prepared to take aim.

"Baga, we need to catch him alive."

Another pursuer held the barrel of the gun, raised it, and shouted loudly.

This time, Chen Tianhua, who was paying close attention to the situation, was shocked.

In the primeval forest of the Guangde Mountains, how could there be mountain people speaking Japanese and carrying Murata standard rifles?

If you look closely, you will see that the backs of these two guys' heads are bald and lack the iconic item of the Qing Dynasty citizens - braids.

Chen Tianhua, who reacted quickly, immediately realized that these two guys were cleverly dressed foreigners - Japanese devils.

The people who escaped in front should be my Chinese compatriots, local mountain people in Guangde.

As for these cleverly dressed and armed Japanese people, what are they doing in these deep mountains and forests?

Based on Chen Tianhua's experience, he immediately thought that the Orientals were engaged in some kind of geological survey or topographic survey.

Both of these may exist.

Chen Tianhua clearly remembered that when the Japanese invaded China thirty years later, during the battle to occupy Nanjing, a Japanese army crossed directly from Guangde territory through the Guangde Mountains, bypassed the Chinese army's southern Jiangsu defense circle, and directly attacked Near the foot of Nanjing City.

Damn it, these little devils started preparing thirty years ago?!

Of course, Chen Tianhua would not be so naive as to think that these little devils were just doing topographic surveying, there should be something deeper, that is, geological exploration and prospecting.

Engaging in geological exploration and prospecting in China is a strategic plan and long-term mission of Japan.

According to later literature, by the end of World War II, the Japanese little devils’ understanding of China’s geology and landforms was far greater than that of the Chinese government at that time.

At this time, Chen Tianhua was filled with indignation.

By the way, the two little devils were holding guns, chattering in the bird song of the Asian island country, and walking toward the lake in a playful manner.

Ignoring the prey in the lake, they drank the lake water and washed their faces leisurely with their hands, before pointing their guns at the 'prey'.

"Come up and surrender quickly, you can't run away, haha..." The two little devils laughed wildly in a playful manner.

The injured man looked like he could no longer run. He closed his eyes and prepared to wait for death.

In other words, he is not ready to run away, but in fact, he cannot run away.

It is estimated that he waited for the enemy to get closer and launched a final attack.

Chen Tianhua has been paying attention to the situation in front of him. He saw clearly that the two Japanese people who were chasing him were the two Japanese people. There were no accomplices later.

In other words, the little devil's accomplices are still far away from here.
