After listening to Hu Chong's description of what happened, Qiu Feng couldn't help laughing for a while. Hu Chong was a little dissatisfied: "Brother, I'm doing something serious."

Qiu Feng retorted: "Don't call me your big brother. I'm not worthy of being your big brother."

Hu Chong knew that he was somewhat unfair to Qiu Feng, so he did not argue.

Qiu Feng asked again, "I don't know when a high wall self-defense point appeared on the top of the mountain. They even put up a sign saying it was a restricted area and anyone who entered would die. If your people didn't believe it, two of them would die. Then you went to defuse the mines and provoke them, but you were bombarded with artillery."

Hu Chong: “…”

Seeing that Hu Chong didn't want to talk, Qiu Feng deliberately asked, "Is that so?"

Hu Chong took a deep breath and said, "That's it."

Qiu Feng was satisfied and said, "I don't know. I never knew there was such a base. We were all imprisoned before, so how could we know what the outside world is like? We have been busy looking for food and daily necessities recently. How can we care about a mountain with nothing on it?"

Hu Chong: It turns out that I just came to Qiu Feng's place and got treated to a bad meal for nothing, but in the end I didn't learn anything.

Hu Chong held his breath and said, "Lin Nuo may know something, brother, call him over and ask him."

Qiu Feng waved his hand and asked someone nearby to lift Lin Nuo up.

Ten minutes later, Lin Nuo was escorted in. His body was still covered in mud, and his hands and feet were bare and covered in mud. There was no trace of his former elegance.

Hu Chong looked at Lin Nuo's miserable state and spoke up for him with some emotion: "After all, he is your brother, brother. Are you too harsh on him?"

Qiu Feng turned his head and looked: "Where were you when we were doing hard labor under him?"

When Hu Chong was asked this by Qiu Feng, he just remembered this. He was speechless for two seconds before he said awkwardly, "I didn't think that much."

Qiu Feng snorted coldly: "Then shut up."

Lin Nuo's spirits were also much worse than in the past few days, but he still loved to talk nonsense. When he saw Hu Chong appear, he smiled and said, "The boss let you out. Does it look like he has abandoned me?"

Hu Chong shook his head: "The boss wants to put peace first and live in peace with Big Brother. Big Brother won't let you go, so the boss can't interfere too much."

Lin Nuo nodded, his smile not diminishing at all: "I see, but I still want to follow the boss. Go back and talk to the boss for me. I miss him and the magic medicine a lot."

Hu Chong felt that the two brothers were just as annoying: "You know that I can't see the boss and can only report to him in a single line. And if I really convey your sarcastic words, do you think the boss will still want you?"

Lin Nuo nodded seriously: "Yes, the boss has a very broad mind."

Hu Chong stopped talking nonsense with him and told him what had happened again, and asked him if he knew what was going on up there.

Lin Nuo really didn’t know: “When we called, winter was just about to end and there were severe floods. We stayed indoors every day, and then it rained continuously, making it even harder to go out.

When the rain stopped, the boss asked us to build an underground project, and then we were busy recruiting and sending people away. We really didn't know when such a stronghold was built on the mountain.

But I don't remember this spot existing. And the scale you described doesn't seem like it could be built in a short time. I'm afraid I'll have to ask the old people here if this place existed before."

Hu Chong looked at Qiu Feng. If he wanted to ask the old people here, he had to ask Qiu Feng for help. Qiu Feng did not send anyone over, so he told Niu Dazhuang to go down and ask around.

After receiving the order, Niu Dazhuang went to the previous Third Battalion. There were the most old people here, and they were considered the indigenous people of the town, so it would be right to ask them.

After asking around, Niu Dazhuang was confused and came up with three conclusions. One of them said that the stronghold had existed for a long time and had always been there. They had seen it from afar when they went up the mountain to chop firewood and look for supplies.

Some said they had never seen the wall before, and it might have only been there recently. Others simply said they were not sure, saying it seemed as if there was no wall but also seemed to be there, and they really couldn't remember.

Niu Dazhuang had no choice but to let them continue working while he returned to bring back the results.

Song Xian lowered his head and continued to shovel the soil. His reply was that he didn't know. Song Xian had never walked the road that Niu Dazhuang asked about, but he knew that Brother Li Jia had walked there.

Brother Li Jia also said that he didn't meet anyone along the way. Song Xian suspected that Brother Li Jia was the one from that stronghold, and he didn't know how to answer in a way that would be beneficial to Brother Li Jia.

But Brother Li Jia didn't want anyone to know about his existence. I guess he didn't want others to know, so Song Xian followed some people and gave an answer that was not very clear and he didn't remember it.

Niu Dazhuang brought back the results, and Hu Chong was a little annoyed and laughed: "How did you ask?"

Niu Dazhuang said bluntly: "I just want to ask if there is a high wall construction site on the northwest mountain. Do you know when it was built?"

Hu Chong said angrily, "You guys are just chatting with grandpa and auntie, how reliable can the results you get be?"

Niu Dazhuang replied bluntly: "Then how do you want to ask? Can you be more clever?"

Hu Chong said directly: "Just pull the people out individually, speak to them seriously, and the answers they give may be more reliable."

Niu Dazhuang snorted: "It would be better to set up an interrogation room to scare them so that they dare not say anything. That would be better, right?"

Hu Chong didn't want to pay attention to him, and turned to look at Qiu Feng: "I'm doing this for the good of all of us. Originally, there were only two of us, and we knew a little bit about the situation. Now a mysterious third party has suddenly appeared. If he is not good for us, the situation will be very passive."

Qiu Feng watched the show for a while, and now seeing Hu Chong targeting him again, he looked at him with a half-smile: "It's obviously you who are bad for him, right? I think he's quite peaceful, guarding his own place, living in seclusion and not provoke anyone, and he even put up a warning sign. It's obviously you who wanted to mess with him, but you hit a wall, so you want to drag us down with you. Hu Chong, you are really loyal to whoever you follow. Among the slaves of the two surnames, you are very competent."

Hu Chong's face did not look happy at all when he heard this. In the past, his elder brother's sharp tongue was directed at outsiders, but now he could only endure it.

Lin Nuo, who was sitting below, couldn't help laughing. Hu Chong said directly, "What are you laughing at? How good do you think you are? Aren't you the same as me?"

Lin Nuo shook his head: "No, no, no, I'm not like you. My eldest brother and I are still connected even if our bones are broken. We are closely related. You can't compare to us."

Niu Dazhuang whispered at the side: "Everyone is so shameless."

Qiu Feng squinted at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Just know the truth in your heart."

Niu Dazhuang glanced at Hu Chong and Lin Nuo proudly. These two guys were now shit in the eyes of the big brother. The one the big brother really cared about was him.

Hu Chongqi said: "Brother, we are just going our separate ways for a while. I always value brotherhood."

Lin Nuo: "Look at how much of a failure you are as a person. My eldest brother is already disappointed in you. If you continue like this, you will lose your boss. Hu Chong, you can't have it both ways."

Hu Chong used to be Qiu Feng's close friend. For a long time after Qiu Feng took him back, Lin Nuo only saw Hu Chong coming in and out of Qiu Feng's study room freely, and he was always jealous.

Hu Chong said to Qiu Feng, "He doesn't know anything, why keep him here? Let him go to work."

Qiu Feng waved his hand and had Lin Nuo taken away. Lin Nuo glared at Hu Chong and said to Qiu Feng, "Brother, please change my dormitory. There are a few perverts among the bandits who covet my innocence every day. You can't just watch your own brother being bullied."

Qiu Feng said to the people who were escorting him, "Change his dormitory and make sure the guards are stricter."

Niu Dazhuang waited until Lin Nuo was taken away before he said to Hu Chong: "That's all we know, nothing else. If you're fine, leave too."

Qiu Feng also took his tea and started drinking. Hu Chong asked unwillingly, "Is there really no military information here?"

Qiu Feng raised his eyes: "Your boss is very afraid of running into the military."

Hu Chong nodded: "Very scared, because it's troublesome. We were like this before, too."

Qiu Feng: "Then your boss should keep his head down and stop trying to get too far. They occupying that piece of hill doesn't bother you. Just choose another place."

Hu Chong didn't say anything. Although he said that, he realized that the person who was dividing the cake would naturally be more dissatisfied if he wanted the biggest piece.
