Already fast asleep, Xiao Yichen suddenly opened his eyes. After adjusting to the darkness for a while, he confirmed that his wife's breathing was long and steady, and she was already fast asleep.
Then he stood up quietly.
Close the door and leave the yard.
Following the sound of insects chirping, I unexpectedly found a person at the foot of the mountain.
"What do you want from me?" Xiao Yichen kicked the weeds under his feet impatiently.
The man didn't care about his bad attitude.
He simply stated: "This evening, Hongqi Commune discovered traces of a vulture. Reliable information indicates that this individual is very likely to have come to Shangwan Village that night and contacted his superiors. We have received instructions from our superiors to apprehend this individual. To avoid suspicion, they require you to return to the unit immediately!"
Xiao Yichen didn't say anything, but kicked the stone under his feet hard.
"When will I leave?" His tone was filled with suppressed anger.
"Leave now. Your superiors require you to return to the team immediately. Comrade Xiao, please put the interests of the country first and do not do anything that will disrupt our operations."
Xiao Yichen stared at this person coldly.
"I refuse. I will be with my wife. Don't worry, I am a soldier and I know my duties!"
After saying that, Xiao Yichen turned around and walked back.
The man was anxious and shouted, "Deputy Battalion Commander Xiao, you are disobeying orders. You know what will happen next!"
Xiao Yichen stopped, turned around and looked at the person who came, and replied seriously: "Go back and tell your leader that I, Xiao Yichen, am worthy of the country and worthy of my identity. Similarly, I am also a husband and a father, and I must also be worthy of my wife and children."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away.
The man wanted to say something else, but unfortunately, Xiao Yichen didn't give him the chance.
When I got home, I made sure my wife was still asleep.
He tiptoed back to the kang.
He had no idea that Su Ruobai, who was lying with her back to him, had already opened her eyes.
There was a cold look in his eyes.
The night continues.
Various insects chirped continuously, mixed with the lonely chirping of frogs.
Under the bright moonlight, even at night, you can see things clearly.
In the deserted alley, a ragged man was limping along, leaning on a wooden stick.
His clothes were in tatters.
Patches piled upon patches, in all colors and shapes.
His pants were even more torn, with the trouser legs torn into strips and hanging down.
There was no belt, and the pants were tied with a hemp rope.
If you look closely, you will find that the clothes this person is wearing are actually cotton-padded clothes, but the cotton wool has been pulled out.
He was carrying a small, tattered bag on his back.
The whole person was weak and powerless, and moved forward with difficulty.
He came to the door of the educated youth center, raised his hand as if to knock, then stopped, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
After a while, he took two steps back.
They sat down next to the gate of the educated youth center.
He hunched his neck and leaned his head on his knees. After a while, he began to snore and fell asleep.
Those who follow behind him are afraid of alerting the enemy, so they can only follow him from a distance.
I thought I could follow the clues and catch a big fish that night, but in the end nothing happened.
Seeing that the man had stopped moving, they had no choice but to leave one person to continue following him while the other went back to report.
The next day, when Zhou Zhuang opened the door, he screamed in fright and took several steps back.
He stumbled and fell to the ground.
