Siheyuan: Shazhu's Brother Shadan

Chapter 29: The sound of artillery fire in the distance

As a member of the county brigade, they should uphold materialistic ideas, but the deep-rooted peasant thinking still binds them.

Looking at the unpredictable celestial phenomena, both of them had a bad feeling, but they were not sure what would happen. In desperation, they had to return to the cave quietly and try to find a way to sleep.

Although my body was exhausted, my thoughts were surging like the tide.

They tossed and turned, various possible scenarios constantly appearing in their minds, and the more they thought about it, the more flustered they became.

Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, driven by extreme sleepiness, the two slowly closed their eyes and fell into a dream...

Suddenly, a faint and strange sound reached Fugui's ears. As a former hunter, he woke up from his sleep instantly with his keen intuition and alertness.

Fugui did not hesitate to quickly wake up Liu Erzhuang beside him and said anxiously: "Wake up! I seem to hear the sound of cannons. Listen carefully, the sound of cannons seems to be one after another, non-stop!"

Although Liu Erzhuang's hearing was not as sharp as Fugui's, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

He quickly bent down and put his ear to the ground, trying to hear the sound coming from the distance.

After a moment, Liu Erzhuang showed a look of shock and said nervously: "Sure enough, there is indeed the sound of cannons coming from a distance, and it is getting clearer and clearer! What is going on?" The two looked at each other, and an ominous premonition surged in their hearts.

The nearest place from here is Yangcun.

At this moment, the Japanese devils were conducting a frantic sweep like wolves and tigers.

Judging from the deafening and continuous sound of artillery fire, it can be imagined that the Eighth Route Army in Yangcun is facing a huge crisis.

If it were now, one might have thought that the army was practicing, but in that era of shortage of clothing and ammunition, each shell was worth a fortune, and the Eighth Route Army itself was too busy to get enough of them.

How could it be so wasteful? So it could only be attacked by the enemy.

"What should we do?" The two looked at each other and thought to themselves.

Although they knew very well that they, as members of the county brigade who were seriously injured and had not yet recovered, were powerless in this situation, they knew that they could not sit idly by and had to make a quick decision and take action.

Fugui and Liu Erzhuang acted decisively and woke up Shadan who was still sleeping soundly without hesitation, and hurriedly packed their luggage to prepare for departure.

Time is running out, there is no time to lose! Every second is a matter of life and death, there is no room for delay!

In the dead of night, everything was silent, with only the faint moonlight shining on the ground and into the cave.

Shadan rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked dazedly at Liu Erzhuang and Fugui who looked anxious in front of him.

"Master, what happened? Why did you wake me up so urgently... What are you doing in the middle of the night?" Shadan pouted and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Liu Erzhuang frowned and said seriously, "From the sound of it, the Japanese may be besieging the Eighth Route Army in Yangcun! The situation is urgent, we have to go and help, understand?"

Hearing this, Shadan suddenly came to his senses, widened his eyes, and shouted in surprise: "What? Just the three of us? Can we do it?"

Liu Erzhuang took a look at Shadan's childish face and felt a little worried, but he soon thought of his special abilities.

He took a deep breath and said to Shadan calmly, "It's not three people, it's two. You are still young and cannot follow us on this adventure. However, there was a big battle near here before. The terrain is complex and there are many hills. I think there must be many caves here. Go and look for some useful equipment. Remember, the more the better, understand?"

Liu Erzhuang's tone was full of concern and expectation, as if he was entrusting a crucial task to Shadan.

"Uh!"

Shadan was shocked. If the Eighth Route Army soldiers of Yangcun, plus the equipment Shadan found, were surrounded by the hateful Japanese, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth for the two of them to rescue them? Not only would they not be able to save anyone, they would also lose their own lives!

However, at this moment, looking at Liu Erzhuang and Fugui, who had determined faces and no intention of retreating, Shadan couldn't help but feel a deep respect and admiration in his heart.

He knew that it was precisely because of the existence of such a group of brave and fearless soldiers who were willing to sacrifice that the motherland was protected from enemy invasion and the people were able to live and work in peace.

At this moment, Shadan's admiration for Liu Erzhuang, Fugui and others became stronger and stronger. At the same time, he secretly made up his mind that no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was, he would move forward bravely like them and never retreat! Even if he paid the price of his life in the end, he would have no regrets...

But now that they were clearly going to die, Shadan was unable to speak to stop them.

"We must rush to Yangcun as soon as possible to find out the situation. Perhaps we can unite with the county brigade and district squad stationed there to rescue the trapped comrades." Fugui said with a firm look.

Liu Erzhuang nodded, "I hope we can make it in time. We will set off immediately."

The two hurried towards the direction of the cannon fire, running as fast as they could.

The fool who was left alone there, looking at their receding backs, was filled with confusion and struggle: Could he just watch them go to their deaths without doing anything?

And that damn masochistic system, after the revision, has only one precious opportunity per month to repair the body. How can we cleverly use this only opportunity to turn the tide and reverse the situation?

At this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind like lightning, and he suddenly realized it. Then he caught up without hesitation.

Because Liu Erzhuang had a leg injury and was unable to move, he was quickly caught up by Shadan.

However, Fugui had already disappeared without a trace, probably because he wanted to contact the county brigade and Chi team as soon as possible.

"Master, if you really have no way to escape, remember to take the path with the stone wall we walked on before! Once I find equipment or explosives, I will bury a large amount of explosives on those stone walls to cut off your escape route! This is extremely important and must not be forgotten!"

Liu Erzhuang didn't ask any more questions after hearing this, because the situation was extremely critical and saying one more word would be a waste of precious time. He hurriedly replied, "Okay, I got it!" Before he finished speaking, he dragged his injured leg and limped forward to reinforce his comrades.

When the last idiot was left, he didn't pretend to be anything but ran towards the narrow road without hesitation.

This time, he was determined to completely cut off the Japs' way forward, because it was still unclear how many enemies there were.

So he decisively activated the second-level disability equipment.
