Seeing that everyone was freezing, Huo Beiyu said to Jiang Chuci, "Go see if you can make some soup here. I think it will help everyone feel better."
"The weather here is too cold. We should finish the mission and return as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, everyone will get frostbite in a few days."
Jiang Chuci replied: "I'll go check it out. If there's nothing, I'll have to make some hot soup to drive away the cold."
"If all else fails, let everyone have a sip of strong liquor."
Huo Beiyu said: "Okay."
On the other side, after they left, Luo Ya brought her people back to the place they had just been.
Looking at the damaged wall, he said with an annoyed expression: "Why are these people so annoying? This is the third time. We just captured a woman. Why are they so persistent in holding on to us?"
"Sanders, we have the person you want. When will you send him away? I'm tired of running around in the winter."
Sanders, holding a cigarette in his mouth, replied lazily, "If it weren't for the heavy snow blocking the mountain, I wouldn't have gone over there. Otherwise, I would have left with my men long ago."
"Your place is so small and shabby, I've had enough of it."
"Tell your people to keep a close eye on this woman. This woman is very important. If she is lost, you won't have to pay the balance."
Luo Ya looked grim. "Because of you, we have completely offended the military this time. Even two of our lairs have been exposed. The money you gave me before was not enough. I want to increase the price!"
Sanders snorted coldly: "Don't ask for too much. We have already given a lot."
"If we hadn't found you this winter, you and your brothers would have starved to death by now."
"It's just a shabby house. If you can't live in it, find another one."
"You're bargaining with me. Don't blame us for being rude."
Luo Ya was threatened and her fists clenched so hard that they made crackling sounds.
The harvest in the northwest is very poor this year. As long as they can have enough food to eat, they would not take this business.
They are all orphans who grew up together. They have no identity and no family, so they can only live in the deep mountains and forests.
Every year I grow some food to fill my stomach, but this year the drought has resulted in a total crop failure.
Even if they spend money to buy it, they can't buy much.
Otherwise, I wouldn't take the risk to help these bearded men.
Now that things have turned out like this, she feels a little regretful.
It was clear that the group would not give up, so if nothing went well, she would just wait for the next time they came and run away with her people.
Anyway, the down payment has been received, and if they find the bearded man and the woman, they probably won't keep an eye on them anymore.
Then he said, "I'm going to arrange for someone to repair the house. You can do whatever you want."
When Luo Ya left the living room, Shan Gui came over and asked, "Sister, what should we do? If they can't find anyone, they will definitely come again."
"I have already sent the pregnant woman and the child to a secret base. If we do this a few more times, they won't dare to sleep."
Luo Ya sighed, "Have you locked up the Eagle Treasure? It has appeared frequently recently, I'm afraid those people will soon notice it."
"Although they have been here before, there is no guarantee that they will come again."
"Go and inform the brothers to be careful at night. If something goes wrong, run away immediately."
"Don't worry about that bearded guy anymore."
"And don't mistreat the captured woman. At least she is now a bargaining chip in our hands."
Shan Gui nodded after hearing this, "I know what to do. At worst, this deal will be ruined, and we will leave here after the spring."
"I don't believe that with so many of us, we will starve to death after we go out."
Luo Ya smiled faintly and said, "Go and arrange it."
She also wanted to go out and see the world outside, but it was not so easy to venture into the outside world.
Every time she went to the black market to buy something, she would ask about the news outside.
Going out at this time would be like seeking death.
The life outside nowadays is not as peaceful as that in their village.
Especially after seeing those people who were sent there for reform once, he gave up the idea of going out.
Although they are poorer now, at least they are safe.
After a day of hard work, early the next morning.
Huo Beiyu led his team over again.
With the experience from the first few times, this time the eagle was shot down by Huo Beiyu with a silencer just as it was about to take off.
The eagle was injured and let out a miserable cry.
Luo Ya was sleeping when she suddenly felt palpitations.
She quickly stood up and called for the eagle, but when she didn't see it fly back for a long time, she knew it was broken.
Then he knocked on his brothers' doors and said, "Don't sleep anymore, get up and run."
Shan Gui and the others all got up when they heard Luo Ya knocking on the door.
"Sister, is there something wrong?"
"Hurry up, Yingbao has lost contact. I think those people are coming again. We don't have much time. Let's retreat quickly."
After hearing this, the mountain ghost said, "Okay, let's go now."
Sanders didn't know that Luo Ya had sold him out.
He is still sleeping soundly now.
Li Wenqiu was also left here by Luo Ya.
They just want to protect themselves now, and it doesn't matter whether the balance is paid or not.
Nothing is more important than living safely.
When Huo Beiyu came here again, he only captured Sanders and Li Wenqiu whom he wanted to rescue.
Seeing this, Jiang Chuci was confused and asked, "Were those people scared away?"
Huo Beiyu didn't know what was going on either.
"Let's send Comrade Li back first. Maybe those people didn't want to do this job anyway."
"Maybe it's just like you said. They are afraid of us, so they ran away and left these two behind."
Jiang Chuci pulled the corner of his mouth, "After so many days of trouble, he suddenly ran away. It's really interesting."
"But the mission is completed. Do we still need to capture those people?"
Huo Beiyu thought for a moment and said, "Let's not catch him. It's no use chasing a desperate enemy. It won't do us any good if we push him into a corner."
"Take the people with you and let's go back."
Their mission this time was to rescue Comrade Li Wenqi. Now that the person has been found, they naturally won't care about those people anymore.
It would be fine if it were summer, but it's so cold now, only a fool would continue to squat here.
Sanders was captured alive, cursing at Luo Ya and the others.
No matter how stupid he is, he knows that he is being sold out.
Seeing that he was dressed like a blind bear and had a big beard, Jiang Jiancheng said with disdain, "He is so ugly, what did he eat to grow up?"
"An old Russian dares to run wild in our territory. What a shame."
“He’s been caught!”
Sanders spoke in unstandard Chinese, "Let me go, you have no right to deal with me..."
Jiang Jiancheng rolled his eyes and said, "Shut up, you're talking so much nonsense."
"I don't know how long it has been since you took a shower. You smell so bad that even in the middle of winter, I can't cover up your body odor!"
"If you listen to us, we will treat you well. If you don't, we will leave you in the snowy mountains to die!"
