It was still on the mountain ridge where Zheng Xiao hid Lin Shaofeng. After the Japs left, the peace returned. Except for the bird that was frightened away by the sound of gunfire and had not returned yet, everything else returned to the way it was before the war started.
Ten minutes later, a figure flashed on the mountain ridge, and then scuttled down from above like a civet cat, heading straight for the rock col where Lin Shaofeng was hiding.
After sneaking around for a long time with the Japs, Zheng Xiao finally succeeded in leaving them in a forest far away from here, and then ran back, intending to pick up Lin Shaofeng and the others.
Jumping down from the mountain ridge and arriving outside the stone col, Zheng Xiao carefully waited and observed for a while. After confirming that there was no Japanese ambush here, he quickly dodged into the stone col.
It was still quiet inside the stone col, and no unusual sound could be heard. Zheng Xiao walked quickly behind the stone, whistling softly, imitating the call of the cuckoo.
This was the signal he had agreed with Lin Shaofeng. As long as he heard the cry of the cuckoo, Lin Shaofeng would know that he was back, and then he would come out from behind the stone to join him.
The whistle echoed in the stone col, but behind the stone there was silence, without any reaction.
Zheng Xiao's heart tightened, and he felt that something was not good. He blew again in a hurry, and the sound was much louder than before.
However, there was still silence behind the stone, with no reaction at all.
problem occurs!
Zheng Xiao immediately realized that Lin Shaofeng hiding behind the stone must have had an accident, otherwise he would have been awakened even if he fell asleep, so he rushed behind the stone.
After rushing to the stone, Zheng Xiao saw at a glance that the place was empty and there was not a single person in sight. Not only Lin Shaofeng was missing, but Chen Liujin was also missing.
"Huh?" Zheng Xiao's eyes swept across the ground, and he seemed to have discovered something. He hurriedly squatted down, stretched out his fingers to pick up a little blood from the ground, and then twisted it with his fingers.
The blood has not yet solidified, so it seems that something happened here not long ago, and the traces of struggle left on the ground indicate that Lin Shaofeng and the others struggled, but were eventually taken away.
"Who took them away?" Zheng Xiao frowned, thinking hard about the whole story. For a while, he couldn't figure out who took Lin Shaofeng and the others away.
At present, it seems that the Japanese are suspected, and it is also possible that he was taken away by wild beasts in the mountains, and then there are other people showing up... These are all possible.
After thinking about it, Zheng Xiao decided to start with the Japanese to find out their details, so he jumped out of the stone col and headed towards the Japanese who were closest to him.
Next to a river beach, Lin Shaofeng and Chen Liujin were tied up like rice dumplings. They even had blindfolds on their eyes and were being pushed forward by more than a dozen people, stumbling along.
Lin Shaofeng and Chen Liujin had a few more scars on their bodies, which were the price of their struggle just now. If their vigilance had not dropped because they were too tired, Lin Shaofeng was confident that he would not be caught by these people so easily.
Before he was knocked unconscious, he only remembered that these people were wearing messy clothes and the weapons in their hands were of mixed quality. They didn't seem to look like those Japanese soldiers.
"Who are you?" Lin Shaofeng's eyes were blindfolded and he couldn't see anything. He was dragged away by others. He suppressed the pain on his body and tried to find out the details of these people.
Someone kicked me in the leg, and then a fierce voice shouted, "Your grandma, why are you talking so much nonsense, just walk."
Lin Shaofeng had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, but he was thinking about the origins of these people in his heart.
Judging from their accents, these people should not be Japanese, but residents of the mountains of Guandong, because they all have strong Northeastern accents, but from their attitude and behavior, it can be seen that they are not peaceful people.
Who are these people? Lin Shaofeng had a big question mark in his mind.
The group pressed Lin Shaofeng and Chen Liujin and walked along a valley toward the depths of the valley. They walked farther and farther, and finally turned into a stone forest at the end of the valley and disappeared.
At this time, Zheng Xiao was in a forest about three or four miles away from them. The corpses of two Japanese soldiers were lying at his feet, and the saber in his hand was held horizontally at the throat of one of the Japanese soldiers.
With a cold light flashing in his eyes, Zheng Xiao asked in a deep voice in Japanese, "Tell me, have you captured that **** soldier?"
The captured Japanese soldier swallowed his saliva, then looked at Zheng Xiao's cannibalistic eyes, and finally gave in. He shook his head and said, "No, the captain is commanding the soldiers to hunt them down."
Zheng Xiao felt relieved, as long as Lin Shaofeng did not fall into the hands of the Japanese, he would have suffered a lot less.
With a flick of his wrist, the saber lightly grazed the Japs soldier's throat, and then he retracted it suddenly. Zheng Xiao reached out and pushed away the Japs head with his eyes wide open, and said coldly, "I've finished asking, you can go and die.
"
Wiping off the blood on the Japanese corpse with his sword, Zheng Xiao hid behind a tree and disappeared.
On the ground, the corpses of three Japanese were lying in a mess. The wounds flowing from the wounds gradually dried up in the mountain wind and turned into purple-black blood spots, exuding the pungent smell of blood in the air.
Not long after Zheng Xiao left, a group of Japanese soldiers arrived here. When he saw the bodies of the three Japanese soldiers, the sergeant leading the team couldn't help but sigh, "It's still too late."
Beside him, a Japanese soldier asked doubtfully, "How did the captain know that this ghost was coming here?"
The sergeant shook his head helplessly, and then said, "I don't know this either. How can I guess the captain's thoughts?"
After a pause, he continued, "But I know that the captain seems to be particularly excited this time, as if he has met his opponent."
Another Japanese soldier also interjected, "Then why didn't the captain bring someone here to catch him?"
"The scouts at the outpost discovered a mountain village. There were some interesting things there, so the captain took people there." The sergeant snorted, then waved his hand, "Besides, the captain already has a way to deal with ghosts.
Soon he knew that he had jumped into the trap set by the captain and could not escape."
After hearing what the sergeant said, several Japanese soldiers seemed to have great confidence in their captain Matsui Ishizo, so they felt relieved and followed the sergeant along the mountain road to leave. Before leaving, they took away the three
The corpse of the devil.
The woods became silent again. The breeze blew by, picking up some dead leaves. After hovering in the air for a few times, they fell gently into the half-dried blood.
