mountain chase

In the dilapidated brick and tile house, five or six people were lined up horizontally on a bed made of several wooden boards, sleeping soundly.On the innermost bed board, the man was still awake.

It has been five days since he came back here.

Just, can't sleep...

Every day, I can't sleep.

With his eyes open, the man stared blankly at the roof, the sky outside was gloomy, and not even a single ray of moonlight could shine in—he couldn't see anything.

But it doesn't matter.

Because the man, what he was looking at was not the current roof.

His mind was still stuck on that night ten days ago.

Nanjing.The temporary main house of the Qiao family.

It is said to be a temporary main house, but the defense system is no worse than usual.It's just that the "Nightingale" team was able to discover that since yesterday, the guards here have loosened a lot.

Their group has been lurking here for five days.Every moment, they are paying attention to the movements here.Because—their task is to lurk in and save people.

And tonight is already the best time.

The team leader of the "Nightingale" team suspected that this might be a trap set by the enemy, but their actions were classified as top-level secrets, and even the people in the headquarters didn't know what they were doing.

The Qiao family—no matter how capable they are, they probably wouldn't have such well-informed news.

At one o'clock in the morning, all six members of the "Nightingale" team were in place.

"No. 1 is in charge of monitoring. No. 2 is in charge of guarding. No. 3 is in charge of the airspace above. No. 4 is in charge of rescuing people. No. 5 and No. 6 are in charge of retreat." The team leader—that is, No. 4, sign language to all team members .

"learn."

"Well, check the table."

"set off!"

The night was dark.That night was as gloomy as tonight, without any light.

Wang Dachuan was tied up in the room, and the windows of the room were tightly sealed as early as the day he came in. Even in the daytime, there was no light at all.

His fingers tapped and stroked the floor, one bar, two bars, three bars...

He is provided with two meals a day here, and every time a meal is delivered, he secretly draws a line of wall powder on the wall with his fingernails.Including the two meals I ate today, it is already... the ninth day.

Fourth Master Qiao... only came once on the first day.

Wang Dachuan pursed his lips, he didn't know what happened to Fourth Master Qiao, the only thing he could be sure of was - Fourth Master Qiao, he must be very busy now, or - something happened.

Because, he really wanted to solve himself with his own hands!

Just as he was thinking, the door of the room was kicked open.

Wang Dachuan didn't move.

——It won't belong to Fourth Master Qiao.If fourth master came over, these people would be more careful with the door of the room than with their own parents.

"Boy...wake up!" The person who came in kicked Wang Dachuan and grinned, "Boy—good day, it's here."

"Good day?" With a frown, Wang Dachuan's heart suddenly turned cold.

Fourth Master... Did something really happen?

Otherwise, why didn't he even have time to come back and kill himself with his own hands?

His head was in a mess, and he kept telling himself not to think about it, but he couldn't help thinking about it.

But that person didn't have so much patience to wait for Wang Dachuan to think about something before getting up.He grabbed the man by the shoulders and dragged him up, "Let's go!" Pushing and shoving, he walked all the way to the yard.

"Kneel down!" Kicking the man on the back of his knee, the man pulled out a pistol from his waist, "Brother, don't blame me, I can't do anything about the order from above. If you are not willing, just follow Yan Yan in the next life." The prince said, cast a good baby!"

After speaking, he raised his pistol.

"boom!"

"Ah!" The man clasped his right hand with his left hand and shouted.

Wang Dachuan turned his head and saw that the gun had fallen to the ground, and a throwing knife was inserted into the man's wrist holding the gun.Obviously, someone saved him.

who can that be?

Squinting his eyes, Wang Dachuan intuitively felt a figure passing through the grass behind him. The man quickly passed through the grass, stretched out his hand like a ghost, pinched the man's neck from behind, and twisted the man's neck with a "click". neck, set aside.

"Wang Dachuan?" It was a man's voice.

"Yes. Who are you?" Wang Dachuan nodded, intuitively, this person's identity is unusual.

"I'm 'Nightingale'." The man replied simply, and he raised his knife and cut the man's rope. "The underground has received news of your exposure, so I have been specially sent to meet you. Comrade Wang Dachuan, please return to the team immediately."

"Yes." Relaxing his muscles and bones, Wang Dachuan followed the man and quietly left Qiao's mansion.

Although - very reluctant, but fourth master, I can't give you this life now!

With his hands resting behind his head, the man opened his eyes without blinking.He knew that he was not a qualified Communist Party member.Yes, the man already understood when he saw Fourth Master Qiao once.

This life, this life - just for Fourth Master Qiao.

So, fourth master, please forgive my timidity, I just want to continue to use my own arms and my own strength - to protect you.

"Hah! Hah! Hah!"

In the conference room, someone who was watching the housekeeper sort out suddenly sneezed three times in a row.

"Fourth Lord..." Looking worriedly at the man behind the desk, the butler replaced the cold cup of coffee next to him, "You have been working continuously for two days and two nights. You should take a rest."

Waving his hands, Fourth Master Qiao didn't even have the time to speak.

He has been in Shenyang for five days.

For five days, every day, there was a war.The ammunition on the front line is short, and the weapons are outdated, let alone advancing.Everyone in Shenyang City is in danger, and the information is not complete.

There is still a thick stack of documents in his hand, these things are all 310 nine points left by Lin Shuang after checking the list of tens of thousands of people, the people who are most likely to have problems.

Fourth Master Qiao has to carefully consider everyone.

Every little bit of clues - must not be let go!This is important information related to future arms transportation, and even whether there will be moles in Qiao's house!

sigh.

The butler understands all of this, but, fourth master—your health is not good in the first place, if you continue like this, you will definitely not be able to mature.

Although he was worried, the housekeeper had nothing to do - no one in this world could persuade fourth master.Exiting the study, the butler was about to go back to rest when he saw Lin Shuang walking over while listening to the people next to him.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that the man had already left, the housekeeper asked him.

"The news from Nanjing." Lin Shuang smiled, "Although it's not a big deal, I'm still considering whether to tell Fourth Master."

"Huh?" Hearing what he said, the butler became even more curious.

"It's Wang Dachuan." Lin Shuang satisfied his curiosity, it's not a secret anyway. "Didn't Fourth Master ask you to make a phone call when he came to Shenyang, saying that he was going to be shot. As a result, he was rescued."

"Ah?" I was taken aback for a moment, "Do you know who did it?"

"I don't know." Spread your hands.Lin Shuang was innocent, "I don't know how this Wang Dachuan provoked Fourth Master, and made Fourth Master so angry."

Yes, in some respects, Fourth Master Qiao treats his subordinates fairly kindly and lovingly.Take Li Yuan as an example. Till now, Fourth Master Qiao hadn't done anything to him.It was only fifty lashes, the pain was a bit painful, but at any rate, my life was still there.

"Keep your voice down." Looking at Lin Shuang reproachfully, the butler lowered his voice, "It's not like you don't know that Fourth Master has been under a lot of pressure these days, and his temper has doubled. Are you quarreling with him at this time, and you don't want to live anymore?"

"Oh." Lin Shuang also whispered, but immediately frowned, with a bitter face, "Yeah. Fourth Master has been in a bad temper these days. You said that I will go in with him to talk about it at this time, Could it be... not too good?"

"Uh..." The housekeeper was also stunned. He thought for a while, and suddenly he shuddered, "You, you can figure it out yourself. I'll go back to sleep first."

"what?"

Opening his mouth wide, Lin Shuang didn't expect that the housekeeper would be so disrespectful and leave him here.

After hesitating for a while, Lin Shuang opened the door with a bitter face.

"Fourth Master."

"Lin Shuang?" Raising his head, Fourth Master Qiao's lips twitched, "It's just right, I have something to do with you, so come and see these people, and let me investigate."

"Oh!" Hearing this, Lin Shuang walked over immediately, picked up the paper and looked at it carefully, "Well...it's more suspicious. There is indeed a problem with this background."

"Well. You call the information team immediately and tell them to act faster." Rubbing his brows, Fourth Master Qiao said.

"Okay." Nodding, Lin Shuang immediately classified the materials, and then started to get busy.

The matter of Wang Dachuan, of course—was forgotten.

At this time, it was July 1937.

Summer has arrived.
