"Snap!" With a muffled sound, another mosquito was slapped to death.
Xiao Yichen frowned and looked at the bright red spot in his hand.
He rubbed his hand on the leaves next to him.
Then he raised his hand and scratched his neck.
There are too many mosquitoes in this mountain.
The key is that it bites and it itches.
"Lao Xiao, do you think that person can come back?" A deliberately lowered voice asked.
Captain Zhang from the County Public Security Bureau was also nearby, fanning the mosquitoes from time to time.
Both were in plain clothes at this time.
Patches upon patches.
A man was chopping wood in the mountains with a big machete in his hand.
Xiao Yichen threw the dead branches he had cut down on the ground.
He took out the peeling military canteen and drank some water.
The bottom of this kettle is deformed, it looks like it was knocked to the ground after it fell.
He also acted naturally, but lowered his voice and replied, "He should come back. Our actions have been kept secret, and we caught him off guard."
Even if he doesn't want to come back, he can't take everything with him, he will come back to get something."
According to Zhou Yizi's recollection, he and the person who informed him of the news were in the woods at the time.
The man was very familiar with the situation in the forest.
They guessed that there must be a base here, or at least it came here frequently.
There are no other clues, so we can only come here and wait in groups.
Xiao Yichen put down the kettle and continued chopping wood.
Lao Zhang was also picking up branches nearby.
If the rope is too long, you have to pull it with both hands and bend it against your knees to break it.
The small and long ones will break if you fold them with both hands.
Make a crackling sound.
"Then we just wait here, can we? It's been most of the day and there is no movement. Is it not enough for us to stay like this? We should hide!" Lao Zhang was not very reassured.
There was a lot of doubt in his tone.
Xiao Yichen tied up the chopped firewood with hemp rope.
After taking a breath, he whispered to Captain Zhang, "It's probably not possible to hide here. We don't know their exact hiding place, we only know the approximate range.
In order not to alert the enemy, we can only separate them and check them bit by bit.
If a lot of people had come and conducted a large-scale search of the mountain, the people would have already fled!"
Captain Zhang wiped his sweat.
"Hey, these damned things are really good at hiding. Where are they? It's so hot and stuffy in this forest. Can they stand it?"
Xiao Yichen also wiped his sweat and replied with a smile: "Anyway, we have no more in this area. Let's go back. This load of firewood can be sold for quite a bit of money!"
Captain Zhang wiped the sweat off his face and laughed.
"Yes, it's a good amount. Firewood sells for three cents a pound at the supply and marketing cooperative, and if we collect it, we'll probably make a little over two cents. We've been busy all morning, and after deducting the losses, we can still make three or four yuan. Not bad."
Xiao Yichen smiled and nodded to show his agreement.
"Not bad. I heard from my dad that last year, our family of ten only received a little over a hundred yuan in cash, excluding food and vegetables. It's not bad to earn this much this morning."
Captain Zhang also tied the firewood with hemp rope.
Then he lay down on the ground with his back leaning against the firewood.
Then slowly push yourself up.
This bundle of firewood is too heavy and can only be carried in this way.
Xiao Yichen was the same. Before he joined the army, he often came to the mountains to look for firewood.
This set of flow is also familiar.
The two went down the mountain.
After walking for a long time, I finally found a small path leading up the mountain.
Captain Zhang paused to catch his breath. "This money is so hard to earn."
Xiao Yichen agreed: "Of course, hurry up, hurry up, if you can't make it in time, you can only send it tomorrow."
At this moment, a figure emerged from the corner of the road.
He looked like a man of medium stature, not very tall, and thin overall.
He was carrying a basket and looked like he was going up the mountain.
Xiao Yichen continued to chat with Lao Zhang about how difficult it is to make money.
It seemed as if the two of them didn't care about this person at all.
The man also kept approaching them.
The three of them met.
Then they separated.
After taking a few steps.
The man suddenly turned around, took out a pistol from the basket, and shot Xiao Yichen in the back.
It seemed as if Xiao Yichen had eyes on his back.
Dodge it.
