Chapter 47: Dawn (1)
Yang Zhen stood on the side of the road and watched Guo Bingxun lead the team without a trace, before turning his head and preparing to take the twenty people left behind to go up the mountain. But just as he was about to go up the mountain, he found that Zhang Ting, who had a pungent personality, was still standing aside and did not leave.
Looking at Zhang Ting, who was standing there looking a little overwhelmed, Yang Zhen frowned, turned his head and asked Li Mingrui, who was following him, "Why is she still here?" Didn't Lao Peng tell her just now that she could go? ”
Li Mingrui didn't know why this spicy woman was still standing here. In response to Yang Zhen's inquiry, Li Mingrui scratched his head and said, "Chief Yang, I don't know about this. You'd better ask for yourself, this girl is covered in thorns, I'd better stay away from her safely. ”
Thinking of Ding Xiaosan's bloody gourd-like fate of being scratched, Li Mingrui, who has received education not to beat women since he was a child, shuddered when he thought about it. Li Mingrui had already made up his mind that the farther away from this hot girl, the better. Although he could hear that Chief Yang had the intention of asking him to come forward and inquire, Li Mingrui did not want to have more contact with this woman.
Hearing Li Mingrui's somewhat weak answer, after glaring at him, he also understood that Li Mingrui really didn't want to have more contact with this girl, so he had to come forward to ask in person.
When they first met, Zhang Ting, who was not afraid of the sky and the ground, looked like she was not afraid of spicy, but at this time, she had long since lost her previous spicy appearance. In response to Yang Zhen's question, he answered honestly: "I don't know where to go." ”
Looking at Zhang Ting, who was putting on a pitiful appearance at this time, Yang Zhen couldn't help but say a little strangely: "Don't you still have a home?" Besides, you are a member of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and when you go back to Harbin, your people will naturally arrange for you. How can it be said that there is nowhere to go. ”
Zhang Ting looked at Yang Zhen pitifully and said, "I was evacuated home and hidden because the organization was destroyed by devils." didn't expect that as soon as he returned home, he was betrayed by his stepmother and tied up here. If I go home again, they may sell me somewhere. ”
"Besides, you killed that Ding Xiasan, his brother is the director of the Acheng Pseudo Police Station. His brother was killed, and he will definitely take revenge. His brother is dead, and I'm still alive, and he's bound to take his anger out on me. If I go home, my father will definitely be implicated. My father was a little confused and had soft ears. But he was the father who raised me and provided for me to study. ”
"The organization in Harbin doesn't know what kind of destruction has been made. All I knew was that my superiors informed me before I left that I was not allowed to return to school without being notified. And I can't go back home. I don't know where to go now. ”
Hearing Zhang Ting's words, Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment before saying, "Have you had a lot of contact with Lao Peng?" Do you believe that he is the kind of person who will betray his comrades and brothers? And do you know Japanese? ”
Regarding Yang Zhen's question, Zhang Ting's face showed a trace of confusion: "I don't know whether to believe it or not." The environment is too complex for everyone to put to the test. Many times, you always think that you are your closest and most trustworthy comrade, but you are a traitor who betrays your comrades. ”
"As for you asking me if I know Japanese? Although our Harbin Medical University was founded by Dr. Wu Liande, it is now being accused by the Japanese. Most of our professors and lecturers are Japanese, so do you think I don't know Japanese? ”
Yang Zhen heard that she could speak Japanese, so he took out a stack of materials from Xiaohuzi's satchel behind him and handed it to her: "To tell you the truth, I don't dare to believe all your words." Just because of what you just said. ”
"You can take a look at these materials. I think whether it's a traitor, a traitor, or a soft bone, but as long as you are Chinese, after reading this, you will no longer work for the devil. I can tell you that Lao Peng is not a traitor, and we are all survivors who escaped from this base of devils. And these brothers of ours are all soldiers of the national army who were captured on the battlefield in Guannai. ”
What Yang Zhen handed over to Zhang Ting was the information he had seized from Shiro Ishii's office about the Japanese army's bacteriological warfare. Although there are not many of these materials, they are also the essence of the Japanese army's previous achievements in the old base of the Wuchang Beiyin River.
Yang Zhen, who was in the midst of a war, had the time and energy to translate these texts, which were top secrets even in the Japanese army. Since Zhang Ting knows Japanese, this labor does not have to be in vain.
Zhang Ting took the information handed over by Yang Zhen in disbelief, and looked at the light emitted by the flashlight raised by Yang Zhen, but after a rough flip, she was stunned by the content inside.
"Is this all true?" Putting down the information in her hand, Zhang Ting looked at Yang Zhen in disbelief, trying to find the answer on his face. However, to her little disappointment, there was no trace of calm on Yang Zhen's face.
Zhang Ting didn't get an answer from Yang Zhen's face, and she didn't ask questions. It was only after a short silence that he cautiously asked, "You really aren't traitors wearing makeup?" Then how do you wear the military uniform of the devil. ”
"Whether it's a traitor or not, you'll know in a moment. As for the devil's skin on our body, we escaped from the prison and only captured the devil's military uniform except for weapons and ammunition. If I don't wear them, will you let me run around in prison uniforms? Besides, although this dress is the skin of a devil, it still has a certain use at this time. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Zhen paused and said, "Why don't you still believe us?" ”
In response to Yang Zhen's rhetorical question, Zhang Ting was silent for a long time before gritting her teeth and saying, "Since you are not traitors, then I will go with you." Anyway, I can't go back to my home now, the organization has been destroyed, and I can't go back to school. ”
Hearing that she was going to follow the team, Yang Zhen didn't care, but the corners of Li Mingrui's mouth behind Yang Zhen twitched a little unnaturally. For Li Mingrui, who Zhang Ting couldn't wait to get as far away as possible, he was looking forward to hearing the words of rejection from Yang Zhen's mouth.
It's just that what he and Zhang Ting didn't expect was that Yang Zhen neither nodded nor objected to Zhang Ting's request. After glancing lightly at Zhang Ting, who was looking at her expectantly, he turned around and left.
"Hey, what do you mean? In the end, whether to agree or not, give a word. What do you mean by turning around and leaving without saying a word? This girl rarely asks for help. Regarding Yang Zhen's unexpected reaction, Zhang Ting was dumbfounded for a while, and then chased after him unwillingly.
Yang Zhen turned a deaf ear to Zhang Ting's shouting behind him. It wasn't until after going up the mountain that Yang Zhen handed her the flashlight in his hand and said, "There are no women on the team, and I haven't decided whether to accept you or not." If you really want to join the army, you have to show some real skills. Wait until you've finished translating these materials, and then we'll see what happens. ”
Yang Zhen's words stunned Zhang Ting. But in the end, he is a strong person, and after reacting, Zhang Ting, who understood Yang Zhen's meaning, said angrily: "If you dare to look down on me, this girl will let you see the true ability of this girl." After that, without raising his head, he lowered his head and translated the light of the flashlight, which was not strong.
Looking at Zhang Ting, who bowed her head to translate the information, Yang Zhen smiled slightly, did not speak, and did not pay attention to her. Instead, after looking down at the time on the watch on his wrist, he turned to Li Mingrui and said, "Tell the brothers, there are still three hours before dawn, so let's hurry up and rest." Sleep when you can. ”
Hearing Yang Zhen's orders, Li Mingrui, who had followed Guo Bingxun for many years and was also a veteran, naturally knew what to do when camping in the presence of hostile situations, couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "No vigilance? ”
"Why not? The hill is flat and there is no danger around. If we don't arrange a guard post, once the devil suddenly appears in front of us, won't we be served by others? Do you think I look like such a careless person? I'm afraid that someone has already reported to the devil about our actions here. The time of the devil's arrival should be earlier. If you don't arrange a guard post, you won't know how you'll die when the time comes. ”
"It's just that the brothers are tired after a day's journey. So I decided that you and I should be responsible for this vigilance, so that the brothers can take a good rest and seize the time to recover. They can't compare to you who were born in martial arts, and your body is strong. ”
"You're worth the first hour and a half, and I'll be the next hour and a half. When it's dawn, I'll let you sleep a little longer. Looking at Li Mingrui, who was a little unclear, Yang Zhen explained.
Looking back at the brothers who were already staggering, although he disagreed, Li Mingrui still nodded and said, "Sir Yang, I'll be on duty for these three hours." You take a break, you are the most tired of the people here. ”
Regarding what Li Mingrui meant, Yang Zhen shook his head, handed him the telescope and said, "No, I said one hour and a half for one person, which is one hour and a half for one person." You have a watch there, remember to call me in an hour and a half. If the devil arrives early, I still have to deal with the enemy's situation, so I can't sleep too much. ”
After that, Yang Zhen no longer looked at Li Mingrui, he found a nearby tree, and fell asleep after leaning against the tree for a short time. Yang Zhen fell asleep so quickly, he hadn't been fully rested since last night, and his body was extremely tired on the one hand. On the other hand, it has to do with the training he received in later life. He knows when to rest and how to fall asleep.
Seeing Yang Zhen sleeping, Li Mingrui didn't dare to disturb him. I didn't know where to get a shirt, and after gently draping Yang Zhen on it, I chose a big tree with the best line of sight, climbed it and carefully observed the surrounding situation. And the head of the fast and slow machine in his hand is also wide open, ready to deal with accidents.
Li Mingrui, who was squatting on the tree, made a plan in his heart while carefully observing his surroundings. As long as there is no abnormality, he will never wake up the sleeping Yang Zhen.
It's just that Li Mingrui's plan did not succeed. Although this body at this time is not the body that has been trained for many years in later generations, and it is already extremely tired. But years of hard training and the experience of many secret missions still made Yang Zhen's sleep extremely shallow. It didn't matter to Li Mingrui shouting, he woke up when the time came.
Yang Zhen, who came to his senses, glanced at Zhang Ting, who was still working on the flashlight beside him, wiping his tears without raising his head, and shook his head without disturbing her. Instead, he softly called Li Mingrui down from the tree.
Hearing Yang Zhen call himself, Li Mingrui hurriedly came down and said, "Chief Yang, why didn't you rest for a while?" ”
Hearing this, Yang Zhen did not answer him directly, but raised the watch on his wrist and said, "It's time." Go and rest, I'll leave it to me. How's that, what's out of the ordinary? ”
"The situation is nothing but calm. It's just that I always feel that there is something strange about this calm, a little too calm. It's just that it's still dark, and the surrounding vegetation is good, so I really can't see anything. ”
Yang Zhen was cautious. Hearing Li Mingrui's answer, Yang Zhen listened carefully to the surrounding voices. As Li Mingrui said, there was no sound except for the slight snoring of the sleeping brothers around him, and the occasional chirping of insects. It's quiet, but there is not even a cry of owls that are common at night in the mountains of Northeast China.
No, although this is a mine, it is also a shallow mountain area, and the surrounding vegetation is good, even if there is no other wildlife due to human activities, how can there be no owl, a night bird that can be found in almost the entire Tohoku region?
This is not the time when wild animals were almost cut off. Sticking and scooping fish is still people's understanding of the Northeast, especially in Heilongjiang.
Yang Zhen, who immediately felt that something was wrong, grabbed Zhang Ting's side in a few steps, snatched the flashlight in her hand and turned it off, and said to Li Mingrui: "Immediately call the brothers and prepare for battle." I'm afraid the devil has arrived. ”
In the end, he was born as a habitual bandit, and Li Mingrui's reaction was extremely fast. As soon as Yang Zhen's words fell, he had already begun to call people.
Zhang Ting, who was robbed of the flashlight and was about to open her mouth to question Yang Zhen's impolite behavior, heard Yang Zhen say that the devil had arrived, and immediately put the unpleasantness just now behind her, but she was slightly excited. However, he still looked at Yang Zhen with some disbelief and said, "How do you know that the devil has arrived?" ”
Yang Zhen, who raised his binoculars and thought about the direction of the mountain pass and observed for a while, but couldn't get what he wanted because it was still dark, heard her question, turned his head and looked at her strangely, "Are you from the mountains?" Isn't there an owl calling at night near your house? Do you hear the call of an owl now? Even if the owls on this hill were frightened by our arrival, the one on the surrounding hills? ”
"Owls do. But I was timid, and I hardly dared to walk at night. So I've only heard it from people in my family, but I haven't heard it with my own ears. Regarding Yang Zhen's question, Zhang Ting simply answered.
Hearing Zhang Ting's answer, Yang Zhen looked at Zhang Ting who was squatting beside him at the moment with a strange expression, but did not answer her. He really couldn't see that this pungent woman had a timid appearance, and Ding Xiaosan's fate was still dangling in front of him.
Although he couldn't see Yang Zhen's expression clearly in the night, Zhang Ting felt the gaze he swept over. Feeling Yang Zhen's gaze, Zhang Ting's face was slightly red. It's just that when she was about to speak, there was suddenly something more in her hand.
Although she hadn't seen clearly what was stuffed by Yang Zhen in her hand, by virtue of the shape, she could feel that it was a pistol. Touching the pistol, Zhang Ting said with a hint of excitement in her tone: "You rob me, do you approve me to participate in the battle?" ”
Hearing the excitement in Zhang Ting's tone, Yang Zhen shook his head. This woman is really home, and at this time, she didn't feel scared, but excited. Is she bold, or is she lacking heart and lungs? How did you meet such a stupid big sister? She also doesn't look at how many people are around her. Isn't she afraid that she will be caught by devils?
Yang Zhen ignored Zhang Ting, who was excitedly touching the pistol, and raised the binoculars to continue hoping to find some clues in the last trace of darkness before dawn.
It wasn't until Zhang Ting, who was very unconscious in his ear and chattered excitedly, that Yang Zhen said a little angrily: "Shut up." This gun is not for you to fight, but for you to shoot yourself in the head if necessary. ”
"What? Is this what made me suicidal? After being excited for a long time, she actually got such an answer, Zhang Ting, who just thought that she could finally beat the devil with her own hands, was stunned by Yang Zhen's words.
Yang Zhen, who had been holding the binoculars and didn't answer her, now closed her eyes and knew what kind of expression she would have. It's just that I really don't have time to accompany her inkblot now, and Yang Zhen, who feels that the world is finally quieter, will still care about her thoughts. For Yang Zhen, who is thinking about the enemy's situation, as long as he gives himself a clean environment.
