Chapter 91 Passing by
Everyone stopped and looked at Wang Sanniang.
Feng Xiucai asked: "Wang Sanniang, what did you remember?"
Wang Sanniang pointed to a member of the logistics team and said, "I remember when we were moving things that day, he seemed to bend down and then casually throw something away."
Everyone took a look and found that this man was Wang Decai, who was a prisoner of the puppet army. He had performed well since he went up the mountain. Now he has officially become a member of the logistics team and can earn two yuan a month.
Du Shengxi said: "Wang Decai, what happened when you came out?"
Wang Decai thought for a moment and said, "No, it's nothing."
Feng Xiucai walked up to him and asked: "Wang Decai, you have to think about it carefully. This is a fatal matter. It affects the lives of everyone in our village. Think about it carefully."
Wang Decai thought carefully, and suddenly his eyes widened, and he said: "Oh! I remembered that when we helped Wang Sanniang and their kitchen move things, the insoles of my shoes did not fit my feet and were wrinkled in the shoes.
Damn it, it hit my feet, so I took it off and threw it off the mountain."
When Guo Hengming heard this, he became anxious. He pointed at Wang Decai and said, "You son of a bitch! Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?"
After saying that, he raised his hand and was about to beat Wang Decai. Wang Decai was so frightened that he held his head and hid while saying: "Third Leader, I didn't mean to do it. I really didn't think of this."
Feng Xiucai hurriedly came over and stopped Guo Hengming. They said: "These insoles must be found immediately, otherwise, if the Japanese see it, they will guess that we are in this area."
Du Shengxi came over and kicked Wang Decai on the butt. He said, "Hurry up and lead the way to find those insoles. If you can't find them back, I will kill you as a coward."
Guo Hengming said: "Let's do this, I will take people to find it myself."
Guard captain Geng Hua said: "Third Leader, I will go with you."
After saying that, the two of them called on seven or eight team members and followed Wang Decai out of the cave in a hurry.
About an hour later, Guo Hengming and others followed Wang Decai to the place where he threw the insoles. When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
This guy is really good at choosing a place to throw things. There is a cliff more than ten feet deep below. It is not easy to get down from here. You have to go around from a distance and go down to the bottom of the valley.
Since they didn't know where to get to the bottom of the valley, Guo Hengming and Geng Hua each took a few people and divided them into two groups to find a way to get to the bottom of the valley.
About an hour later, Geng Hua and others first went down to the bottom of the valley. After searching for a short time, they found an insole that Wang Decai had thrown down. However, they searched for a long time but could not find the other one.
Soon, Guo Hengming and others also came over. He saw Geng Hua and others searching around there, and he knew that Geng Hua and others might not have been found. He came to Geng Hua and asked eagerly: "Did you not find it?"
?”
Geng Hua raised an insole in his hand and said, "The third leader only found this one."
Guo Hengming asked: "Have you searched everywhere nearby?"
The group of people led by Geng Hua all said: "The third leader has searched everywhere and can't find another one."
Guo Hengming looked at the top of the cliff and said, "I can't find it at the bottom. I guess I fell to the middle of the cliff."
Geng Hua said happily: "That's good. We can't find it, and neither can the Japanese. They can't crawl into the middle to look for it."
The other team members also had the same intention, and everyone showed a relaxed expression. Wang Decai also breathed a sigh of relief.
Guo Hengming looked at the top of the cliff, thought about it carefully, and felt that he was still not at ease. He said: "It still doesn't work. If the insole fell in the middle of the cliff, there is no guarantee that the place where it was placed would be strong.
If it’s windy or rainy and it falls again, it will be a big trouble.”
Geng Hua thought for a while and said: "Third Leader, what you said makes sense. There are many Japs coming this time, so they will definitely spread out and search everywhere. They will definitely send people to this valley, if they really are going to appear.
In the situation you mentioned, when the Japanese see that insole, they will search the area carefully. There is no guarantee that they will not find our Peach Blossom Cave.
I suggest that we go back to the same place on the cliff, use a rope to drop someone down, and look for it in the middle."
Guo Hengming nodded and said: "I will do as you say, I will take a detour directly back to the top, and you will take someone back to get the rope."
"Okay. I'll go right away." After saying that, he took two team members and went directly back to Peach Blossom Cave.
Guo Hengming, Wang Decai and others came to the top of the cliff. After waiting for more than half an hour, Geng Hua and others came with ropes.
Wang Decai was eager to make atonement and volunteered to fall from the cliff with a rope.
He pulled the rope and searched everywhere while descending. However, from the top of the cliff to the bottom of the valley, he could not see another insole.
He shook the rope vigorously and asked the people above to pull him up. As he climbed up, he continued to search.
He was hanging in mid-air, leaning against the cliff, and his field of vision was limited after all. In mid-air on the cliff, behind a stone less than two meters away from him, there was a wild jujube tree, and another insole fell on it.
It fell into the gap between two tree branches. However, Wang Decai couldn't see it at all.
Just like that, Wang Decai passed by this life-threatening insole.
By the time Wang Decai reached the top of the cliff, the sky had darkened and it was impossible to continue searching.
Guo Hengming had no choice but to kick Wang Decai on the butt and said, "You son of a bitch, if something happens to this shoe insole, I will kill you."
After saying that, he looked down the cliff unwillingly, and then led the team members back to Peach Blossom Cave.
Before dinner that day, the officer on duty of the 63rd Regiment was still Taro Takahashi. He once again received a call from the officer on duty at the division headquarters, Ichiro Shimizu.
With the lessons learned from last time, Taro Takahashi became more vigilant and repeatedly asked about Ichiro Shimizu. Until Ichiro Shimizu revealed the name of a prostitute at the banquet when he entertained Taro Takahashi at the division headquarters.
Only then did Takahashi Taro believe that he was really Ichiro Shimizu.
