South of Huaxian.

There are fires everywhere on the endless weeds.

Next to the fire is a tent.

A team of more than 30 puppet army patrols swayed back and forth from east to west.

There was also a blazing fire in the dark village not far away.

At night, the puppet army did not live in the village, but lived in the wilderness, which was unusual.

A tall Eighth Route Army held up a telescope and looked south.

Gao Yidao, the commander of the second battalion of the Independent Regiment, hid in the plains for several days.

The team rested in the village not far behind him, and he had been lying quietly here for a long time.

The telescope kept looking at the fire in the south.

The fire looked endless from east to the distance, and it was still a fire.

His instructor Lao Li walked behind him, yes, he was the instructor. The last time the position of the independent team was adjusted, Lao Li was not on the way.

"Old Li, is there any new news coming out in the mountains?"

"There are a lot of things, I'll tell you one by one..."

Gao Yidao asked the telescope and lying on the ground to interrupt Lao Li's words: "Where have Wu Yan and the others?"

"About ten miles east of Wujia Village..." Old Li sat down next to Gao Yidao and pushed Gao Yidao: "It has just rained and the ground is not dry. If you sleep like this, you will suffer from the disease..."

"How long can food last?" Gao Yidao asked his concern first.

"Eat less and you can last for two or three days."

"Is there any news about the Ninth Camp?" Gao Yidao sat up and hesitated for a while.

"I heard that the Third Column was borrowed to reorganize the autonomous army..."

"Can he train a good soldier?" Gao Yidao suddenly let out a strange cry: "Not good!"

"What's wrong? Don't be surprised..." Old Li was almost shocked.

"Our independent group's face must be thrown away!" Gao Yidao took a while to let out a breath of turbid air.

Lao Li was actually deceived by Gao Yidao into the Second Battalion. When he led the Black Tiger Army to sweep the "bandit soldiers" everywhere, he accidentally met Lao Li and the two of them slapped each other.

Until now, I have not found a chance to bring back the Independent Group to show my face in front of the leader and political commissar.

The instructor Lao Li was also given privately by Gao Yidao, so he knew a little about the past of the second and ninth camps, but he was not very good at it.

He did not take Gao Yidao's words and changed the topic: "By the way, the enemy's fingers came from the front, all teams were given vinegar and were not allowed to drink raw water. Violators were detained for three days in prison!"

"Incarcerated? There are still three days left. Where can we find the confinement room?" Gao Yidao was not angry.

"The regiment sent Xiao Bing to say that the enemy might throw the Hulira bacteria." Seeing that Gao Yidao stopped asking, Lao Li began to talk about his guidance work.

"I heard Hu Za some time ago... I heard from the people from Jiuying that there is no need to worry too much about this. As long as you don't drink raw water, someone will be isolated immediately after coughing." Gao Yidao didn't care much about Hu Lie La.

The Independent Group once had diarrhea collectively and sacrificed many people. I didn’t know the reason before, but now it is roughly certain that I was hit by the Hulidai bacteria.

I heard from Liu Yuanqing that as long as you master the temper of bacteria, you don’t have to worry too much. Besides, can bacteria be as powerful as my bayonet?

After talking about trivial matters, Lao Li asked: "When will we have to wait?"

"If it weren't for this damn heavy rain a few days ago, maybe we had already crossed the puppet army's defense line." Gao Yidao had no temper.

"How is the situation in Heihu Village?"

"The team is developing very fast, but the food is not up to par. The superiors have arranged to find a way to fight in the branch school."

"The superiors reported that a few days ago, the puppet army Taihang Security Brigade entered the mountain to encircle and was ambushed by Lingqiu Squadron. The security brigade leader was shot and seriously injured. He rested at the mountain pass for two days and went to Tangyin this afternoon."

...

Jiujianfang Village.

Goudan woke up from her sleep, and her heart was beating violently, as if something was coming.

Lift your ears and listen carefully... It seems that someone is crying at the east end of the village?

Grandpa Geng, who was sleeping next door, finally stopped coughing anymore and he slept quite sweetly.

Only then did he feel relieved.

I want to fall asleep again, but I can't fall asleep.

Gently get out of bed, take out the wrench gun from under the pillow and insert it into the back.

I was afraid of waking up and coughing all day, but my grandfather, who had finally fallen asleep, walked out on tiptoe.

You can rotate the door leaf habitually to prevent the door shaft from creaking.

Slide quietly into the yard.

Then he looked up at the sky. The dark sky was covered with stars, and the familiar Big Dipper was flashing from time to time.

When I walked to the yard, I carefully opened the door and started walking towards the east of the village.

Under the starlight, I could hardly see my fingers. Fortunately, I was familiar with the alleys in the village and walked around the familiar walls.

The crying sounds began to be noticeable in the east of the village.

The crying sound seemed to be coming from Grandpa Zhou’s house?

That’s right, it’s the voice of Grandpa Zhou’s twelve-year-old granddaughter Sanya.

Goudan trotted to the door.

I listened carefully on the door for a while, and then knocked on the door gently: "Sanya, why are you crying..."

Hearing someone talking outside the yard, the crying sounds stopped in the room... but then they turned into a wail: "Grandpa...Grandpa..."

Goudan was stunned for a moment, and didn't bother knocking on the door again, and climbed over the wall from the side to enter the yard.

Sanya's crying surged from the window of the wing room, but the wing room was still dark.

"Sanya, what's wrong with Grandpa Zhou?" Hearing that Sanya kept calling Grandpa, Goudan quickly took out the match.

After enduring it, he couldn't bear to scratch it. He went forward and pushed the door of the house. The door was tied from inside: "Sanya, please open the door quickly..."

Sanya was still calling her grandfather, and she seemed to have not heard the sound of Gou Zuo at all.

Gou Sheng had no choice but to take out a knife and penetrate it into the crack of the door.

He is very skilled in movements, and it seems that he does a lot of things on his daily basis.

After entering the room, I lit the matches. I looked around with the dim light of the matches, walked directly to the unclubed wing room and found the oil lamp to light it.

Sanya didn't sleep in her small bed, and was curled up in the corner of the big bed where Grandpa Zhou usually slept.

Seeing the lights on in the room, Sanya cried even louder: "Brother Goudan, my grandfather ignored me..."

Goudan threw away the match that was about to burn his hand, hurried to the bed, and pushed Grandpa Zhou who was sleeping.

Goudan has seen dead people, and he originally learned kung fu from Li Gang.

It rained heavily two days ago, and I was worried that Jiujianfang Village would have a heavy flood and came back.

I originally planned to return to Baidaokou tomorrow.

I immediately found something was wrong, so I quickly reached out to touch Grandpa Zhou's nose, my heart began to beat hard, and then I followed He Gensheng to touch Grandpa Zhou's neck.

No, I don’t have that familiar light jump feeling, and I tore off the quilt covered by Grandpa Zhou.

Grandpa Zhou didn't move at all.

Then, footsteps came from outside the yard. An aunt wearing torches entered the yard and shouted: "Uncle Zhou..."

Goudan came out of the house, with a crying tone in his tone: "Aunt Qi, Grandpa Zhou is dead..."

"What did you say?" A thin woman following behind shouted: "Goodan, don't talk nonsense!"

Goudan felt bad again: "Aunt Qi, look at Sanya, I'll go back and see grandpa!"

After saying that, he ran desperately in the darkness.

I walked through the alley and turned around, and ran into the yard without falling and following.

He rushed into his grandfather's house in three or two steps.

He gasped and then took out a match to light the lights first.

Then he shouted to the grandfather on the bed: "Grandpa, Grandpa Geng..."

I didn't hear the familiar voice of grandpa calling him "Doudan".

Goudan felt scared and looked at Grandpa lying on the bed covered with a quilt.

Goudan's feet were as if they had grown a root, and she didn't dare to go forward, and she was crying: "Grandpa, don't scare me..."

There was still no movement on the bed, not even the familiar ups and downs of the quilt before...
