The convoy drove forward along the mountain road. After traveling for seventy or eighty miles, it turned into a mountain pass.
Inside the mountain pass, there is an open flat land. It can be seen that the ground has been leveled. A wall has been built on the edge of the plain, filled with iron caltrops. The iron gate at the entrance is closed, and the surrounding walls
Several sentry towers were also built, with people patrolling them back and forth.
This is a gold mine under the control of the Jing family, and it is also the largest gold mine in Niujia Town.
When the truck arrived outside the gate, someone immediately shouted, "Stop, command."
For safety reasons, in addition to a pass, the Jing family's gold mine also requires a password to enter, and the password is different every time you enter, just to prevent someone from sneaking into the gold mine.
"The world is at peace."
The password was matched, the gate opened with a roar, trucks filed in, and then the gate closed and the guards continued their patrol.
After entering the wall, there is a flat open space. If you look further into the distance, you will see a steep mountain wall. A guard tower has been built on it, and there are dedicated personnel to guard it.
On the vast flat land, there are houses standing one after another. Those houses are all made of stone and look very simple, but they have complete doors and windows.
Around those houses, people were busy, some were repairing tools, and some were sitting and chatting. Everyone was doing their own thing, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.
The truck stopped in front of the house, and the rear of the truck raised a cloud of smoke and dust that covered the sky. Then Uncle Long jumped off and strode towards the house on the far left.
At the door of the house, a middle-aged man wearing a long gown appeared there. He looked at Uncle Long who was approaching with a smile on his face and said with a smile, "Boy, you kid is here."
Uncle Long also showed a smile. He came to the man in a long gown, reached out and patted his shoulder, "Mr. Wu, you seem to be getting thinner every day in the past few days, haha."
The middle-aged man in a long shirt stretched out his hand to adjust the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then followed Uncle Long towards the house, "Go away, I was weighed recently and I have gained ten pounds."
The two were already acquaintances, and they were joking and walking side by side toward the house.
After entering the room, before sitting down, Uncle Long turned his head and stared at Mr. Wu, "Old Wu, please bring the young lady out."
Mr. Wu looked as if he was in a cloud, and couldn't help but touch his nose, "Didn't you bring her out, Miss? Why do you ask me for it?"
Uncle Long's eyes were very sharp, and he snorted and said, "You kid, don't act with me. There are no young ladies in the team I lead. I know it must have been arranged by the boss."
Mr. Wu sat down on a chair, plucked his ears, and said as if he didn't know anything, "Second Master, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"
Looking at his expression, Uncle Long already understood. He chuckled and suddenly shouted towards the back room, "Sweet girl, get out here, Uncle Long."
Before he finished speaking, the door curtain was opened, and then a figure rushed out from inside. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Uncle Long, and a voice like a silver bell rang.
"Uncle Long, how did you know I was in the back room?" The person who came was none other than Jing Tian'er. She had put on a smart outfit and had her hair pulled up into a bun. She looked much more mature.
Uncle Long touched the beard on his chin, and then laughed, "You girl, you think that Uncle Long has been in the world for nothing for so many years. I have seen through this little trick a long time ago."
Mr. Wu also laughed at the side, but he immediately explained, "Second Master, I asked me to do this because -" Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Uncle Long.
Uncle Long still had a smile on his face, without any hint of displeasure, "Old Wu, needless to say, the reason why the boss kept it secret from me must be because of him. Do I still have doubts about him?"
Old Wu nodded and spoke, "Okay, I won't say any more. The boss asked me to send the young lady out through another passage. He has long suspected that the Jing family has a spy spy."
"Which bastard is he? If I find out, I will kill him." Uncle Long cursed through gritted teeth, and smashed a tea cup on the table to pieces with a slap.
"We don't know yet, so the boss secretly went to Chencang." Mr. Wu's expression was very solemn. "The boss asked me to send the young lady out, and then asked you to take a few people to send her away through the abandoned mine."
Uncle Long was very confused, "What's going on? Why do you need to go through that mine?"
"That's because the boss suspected that the mine has been surrounded by Japanese troops." Mr. Wu's words shocked Uncle Long, who almost jumped up.
Although Uncle Long was a little surprised, he was also an old man and quickly calmed down. He looked at Jing Tian'er who was walking back to the back room and lowered his voice, "Then what should the boss do? Does he still want to stay in the Jing family?"
?”
A trace of worry flashed in Mr. Wu's eyes, "He said he had a way to deal with the Japanese and nothing would happen."
After Uncle Long listened to Mr. Wu's words, he was silent for a while, then suddenly stood up and walked outside. Mr. Wu hurriedly called him from behind.
"Second Master, what are you doing?"
"I'm not worried, boss, go back and take a look."
Mr. Wu took a few steps forward, rushed in front of Uncle Long, and stopped him, "Second Master, you can't go back."
Uncle Long's eyes widened and he shouted, "Old Wu, you kid, get out of the way."
"Second Master, we can't go back." Mr. Wu just said, and Uncle Long slapped him aside, and then he rushed out.
Mr. Wu stabilized his body. When he saw Uncle Long rushing out of the house, he felt anxious and couldn't help but shouted, "Second brother, have you forgotten what the boss told you?"
Uncle Long stopped suddenly, then turned back to look at him. He remembered Jingshan's instructions when he came, "Second brother, you must protect Tian'er and send him to Beiping City safely. He called Zhang Yifei
It's in the hands of the general, I'm leaving it to you, big brother."
Has the elder brother already had a premonition from that time? Or has he been preparing to do this for a long time?
Uncle Long's heart was in a state of confusion. He really wanted to rush back to Jing's house immediately to see Jingshan's current safety, but he couldn't let go of Jingshan's instructions, and he became embarrassed for a while.
"Second brother, I know you miss the boss, but now it's too late for you to rush back. It's more important to protect the young lady." Mr. Wu adjusted his glasses and persuaded Uncle Long.
At this moment, the guard post on the wall suddenly shouted, "Oh no, the Japanese have surrounded the mountain pass."
Uncle Long and Mr. Wu hurried towards the mountain pass.
