The valley was searched thoroughly, but the white-skinned foreigner that Shan Zhu mentioned was not found. However, the old car was found in a corner of the armory.
"It seems the car stayed behind, but the people left." Captain Huang jumped into the car and excitedly turned the steering wheel a few times. "This is a good thing."
Ying Mingcheng frowned and opened the hood of the car.
The battery of this kind of classic car is expensive, and the battery valve will be closed if it is not driven for a long time. This car is obviously just placed here with no intention of keeping it for a long time.
Captain Huang, who didn't know much about cars, suddenly realized what he was talking about. "Is the white monkey still hiding? We've searched everywhere, where else could it be hiding?"
"Could they be hiding in a hole in the gable wall? What a hassle!" Captain Huang still couldn't forget the sentry post he had set up on the cliff before. It took a lot of effort just to capture it. The sentry post was built on a small protruding rock. There was no place to stand below. No one knew how they got up there.
"Let's look for it again!" Ying Mingcheng stood up first. The people they had caught so far were all obedient and worked hard. They knew nothing about the source of the arms and could not even explain the transportation route.
The white man driving the classic car that Shan Zhu had seen might be the answer to everything.
Huo Zhiwu was injured during the charge. He had thick bandages wrapped around his shoulders and back, and there was also a wound on his palm. He came over in a hurry and asked Mu Huaixi for a bandage and wrapped it around his hand himself.
After listening to what the two of them said, he suggested, "Maybe it escaped from somewhere. This valley is like a turtle shell. It must have made a hole!"
"I've cracked that bastard's shell," Captain Huang joked, leading his men to the edge of the valley, under the pretext of going to poke a cicada out of its hole. "Even if it's stuck in a crack in the rock, I'll poke it out!"
"I'll take people outside to look for him, to see if he escaped in the chaos!" Huo Zhiwu was slightly injured but did not leave the front line. He bandaged his palm and asked his men to leave.
Ying Mingcheng sat in the driver's seat of the old car and pondered for a while. He then turned the front of the car over and over again, and then hurriedly led his men to the container.
He still felt that this person was in the valley.
Compared to stone walls and dense forests, the best place to hide people is the armory.
Mu Huaixi was resting in the armory. She had bandaged the wounds of too many people. When she stood up suddenly, everything went black. She had really exhausted too much physical strength.
She found a nearby cabinet, sprinkled some insect repellent powder on it, lay down on it and fell asleep in seconds.
When Ying Mingcheng and his men searched this place, they saw her curled up, sleeping like a small animal holding a treasure.
In fact, she was holding her own medicine box.
Ying Mingcheng felt a little lost. A long time ago—when they had just gotten married—Xiao Xi had liked sleeping in this position. At first, he'd sleep straight while she'd curl up. Then, she'd wrap her arms around his waist, hugging him. And then, from time to time, a little grayish-haired child would sleep between them, but their arms, legs, and feet would always be touching.
It had been a long time since I saw Xiaoxi sleeping curled up like this. Ying Mingcheng tiptoed over and wanted to help her tidy up her messy hair, but as soon as he reached out his hand, he was grabbed by Xiaoxi.
She didn't move much, and there was no trace of sleep in her open eyes.
Ying Mingcheng's heart suddenly beat wildly twice, but he didn't say anything in tacit understanding and just blinked at her.
Xiao Xi tapped the back of his hand, then hooked a finger back and looked down.
Ying Mingcheng looked down and saw a wooden crate as tall as a person beneath her. There were many such crates in the arsenal, and they were filled with firearms that should not have been there. They were also the killing weapons that had caused their brothers on the front line a lot of suffering.
These wooden boxes were sealed with strips of tape and some were nailed shut with iron sheets, so when the battlefield was searched just now, only a few boxes were opened for random inspection with bayonets.
Countless thoughts raced through Ying Mingcheng's mind. He suddenly bent down and held her in his arms. Seeing Xiaoxi's eyes widened in surprise, he leaned over and suddenly kissed her.
"You..." Mu Huaixi was stunned for a moment. It was already this time, why was he still playing this trick?
Ying Mingcheng saw her face flush instantly, her mouth slightly open and she had forgotten what she wanted to say. He felt relieved and picked her up directly, saying affectionately and relaxedly, "Why did you fall asleep here, huh?"
The moment he bent down, he smelled the scent of perfume that stood out among the bitter medicinal aroma and musty dampness, exactly the same scent as in that old car.
But he seemed not to notice anything unusual and carried Mu Huaixi out. Then the other people here also retreated and silence returned.
James in the wooden box pricked up his ears until he heard the sound of dripping water in the corner, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
The container house is not completely closed and rain will leak at the edges, but the water drops are very small and the sound is very slight. Since he can hear the sound of dripping water, it means that there is really no one outside and the danger is really over.
"Shit!" He cursed angrily, but didn't dare make any sound.
It was his colleague who was supposed to do business with the local military government, but he lost a bet on the ship and had to get off the ship to escort the arms.
The journey was wonderful at first. After all, there were people serving him wherever he went and he lived like a boss. But soon he was so distracted by the terrible rainforest that he lost all interest in it.
He was originally going to leave in the next two days, but who could have imagined that Chinese troops would suddenly descend from the sky and surround the valley where the military government was proud of its goods.
God knows how they found it!
James had a big quarrel with the general in charge here, and wanted to take his men to slip away during the chaos, but his appearance was too eye-catching, and the attacking army surrounded him and attacked in an orderly manner, so he couldn't find a chance to slip away!
He had no choice but to hide in the ammunition box.
He was just waiting for a chance to slip out in the dead of night. He was a tall and strong man, and it was really uncomfortable to be locked up with a pile of cold firearms.
He put away the pistol he had just held in his hand and quietly lifted a wooden stick - he couldn't wait any longer and had to find a chance to run away!
Outside the room, Mu Huaixi grabbed Ying Mingcheng and said, "Be careful, he has a gun."
She actually heard the heavier breathing when she was sprinkling the powder, but she was too tired at the time, and the abnormality just flashed through her mind and was deleted.
Until she lay on the wooden box, closed her eyes and could hear two heartbeats.
The slow and tired one was hers, the fierce and panicky one came from very close to her. Not only now, she could also sense the faint murderous intent and the sound of the pistol safety being opened.
Mu Huaixi was extremely sleepy, but he could only slowly relax his body and pretend to sleep.
She was in the light while the enemy was in the dark, and she foolishly exposed most of her body to the extremely close range, so she could only pretend to be asleep.
Mu Huaixi was betting that this person didn't want to be exposed, but she didn't expect that her husband would come to her.
