Jiang Qingzhou looked at the people with different expressions and said loudly, "I suggest that we all refrain from leaving the educated youth camp easily during this period. If you really need to go out for urgent matters, it is best to go with a group and not be alone.
And everyone should always have a stick or something handy ready at hand, so if Qiao Rucheng comes in, we can at least defend ourselves."
Du Jianguo nodded in agreement and added, "Especially when sleeping at night, you must be vigilant and lock the door from the inside. It's best to put a chair or table behind it."
Chu Jingqiu thought for a moment and offered a suggestion, "When we go to bed at night, we can set traps or mousetraps around the wall to prevent Qiao Rucheng from climbing over."
The educated youth offered suggestions and everyone brainstormed to find ways to improve the security of the educated youth site.
For several consecutive days, except for the soldiers of the army and the patrol teams composed of the brigade's militia walking back and forth in the streets, all the villagers of Qingshan Brigade stayed at home and dared not go out.
Lin Zishan no longer dared to go to the infirmary easily. She took some medicines for headaches and fevers directly to her room. If any villagers came to see a doctor, she would treat them and get medicine directly at the educated youth center.
That day, Du Yueming and Zhang Pingping came to the educated youth site. They came to Chu Jingqiu's room, where Chu Jingqiu and Shi Aihong were studying at the small kang table.
"Sister Pingping, brother-in-law, why are you here?" Chu Jingqiu looked up and saw Du Yueming and Zhang Pingping, and asked in surprise.
"Jingqiu, we came here to discuss something with you." Du Yueming said straight to the point.
"Come on, sit down and talk. If you have something to say, just say it. We don't need to be so polite!" Chu Jingqiu said with a smile.
Du Yueming glanced at Jiang Jiang and said, "We are going to carry out an important mission. Qi Yue told me that it would be best to take Jiang Jiang with us. I wonder if you are willing to let Jiang Jiang go with us?"
Chu Jingqiu didn't say much and immediately called Jiang Jiang over. She pointed at Du Yueming and said, "Jiang Jiang, your brother-in-law is going to take you on an important mission. If you help your brother-in-law complete the mission, I'll reward you with dried meat when you come back."
Jiang Jiang seemed to understand what Chu Jingqiu said. She came to Du Yueming, wagging her tail, and rubbed her furry little head against Du Yueming.
Du Yueming quickly squatted down and stroked Jiang Jiang's back. "Jiang Jiang, you are such a good boy. If you help me complete the task, I will reward you with canned meat."
Watching the interaction between Jiang Jiang and Du Yueming, Chu Jingqiu curled his lips slightly: "Brother-in-law, Jiang Jiang is willing to go with you, so let her go with you. I just hope you can take good care of her and don't let her get hurt."
"Don't worry, we will take good care of Jiang Jiang. I promise to bring Jiang Jiang back to you safely." Du Yueming responded.
Du Yueming and Zhang Pingping took Jiang Jiang away from the educated youth site. Jiang Jiang jumped around Du Yueming and seemed very excited.
Du Yueming brought Jiang Jiang to the village entrance, where Captain Guo and several soldiers were waiting. They got on a jeep, and the car sped quickly towards Qingyun Temple.
After reaching the foot of the mountain, the group quickly climbed to the top with Jiang Jiang.
When they arrived near Qingyun Temple, Captain Guo imitated two bird calls and two young men jumped down from a big tree.
"How is it? Is there anything unusual in Qingyun Temple? Has Qingxu come out?" Captain Guo asked in a low voice.
"Reporting to the battalion commander, I just saw Qingxu go to the toilet. He has never left the Taoist temple." The taller young man replied.
"Excellent! The captain has ordered us to capture Qingxu immediately. Call out our men! Surround Qingyun Temple tightly and don't let even a fly escape."
The two men led their people into Qingyun Temple. When the Taoist priest Pingyang of Qingyun Temple heard that the two were looking for Taoist priest Qingyun, he took them to the room where Taoist priest Qingyun lived.
When the three entered the room, they found it empty. Taoist Priest Pingyang was very surprised. "Comrades, my master was in the room just now. I will help you look for him."
Everyone searched every corner of the Taoist temple, but could not find any trace of Qingyun.
"How is this possible!" Captain Guo exclaimed in astonishment. "Our men have been guarding outside the entire time, and Xiao Wu just saw him go to the restroom. How could he disappear in the blink of an eye?"
Taoist Priest Pingyang smiled bitterly and said, "Comrades, I'm also confused. Master was clearly in the room just now. Just twenty minutes ago, I brought him a cup of tea. Feel it, the cup is still warm. How could it suddenly disappear?"
Captain Guo said hurriedly: "Master, that person is not your master, Master Qingyun. Master Qingyun has been on Phoenix Mountain in Jing City.
This person is a secret agent. He deliberately disguised himself as Taoist Qingyun so that he could live in Qingyun Temple smoothly. Think carefully, where could he have gone?
Hearing this, Taoist Priest Pingyang was stunned for a moment. He stood there blankly for a long time without coming back to his senses.
At this time, Du Yueming found that Jiang Jiang was pulling the rope as hard as a cow to walk out. Du Yueming stroked Jiang Jiang's head and said, "Jiang Jiang, can you help us find Taoist Qingxu?
Jiang Jiang wagged his tail, as if responding to him, and Du Yueming untied the leash for Jiang Jiang.
Jiang Jiang ran towards the hall in front like an arrow. After entering the hall, Jiang Jiang kept scratching the statue with his little claws.
Taoist Priest Pingyang looked at Jiang Jiang in shock, "Comrades, if your dog hadn't found this place, I would have forgotten there is a secret passage leading to the back mountain.
This secret passage was specially built by the National Army during the Anti-Japanese War to transport supplies.
No one has used it in these years. If you go out of the secret passage and go down the mountain, you will reach Yuntai Town. The man must have escaped from here.
Come on, I'll lead the way and take you through the secret passage to chase him. Then I'll ask him why he pretended to be my master.
After Taoist Priest Pingyang finished speaking, he turned the candlestick, and the statue slowly moved away, revealing a secret passage that was roughly large enough for one person to pass through.
Taoist Priest Pingyang took the flashlight and went down first. "This secret passage is not so narrow at the bottom. No one has been through it for many years. Everyone should be careful."
Everyone nodded and carefully followed Taoist Pingyang into the secret passage.
The secret passage was pitch black, and everyone turned on the flashlights they carried with them. Jiang Jiang took the lead and led everyone forward.
After walking for about an hour, Jiang Jiang suddenly stopped. Pingyang was still walking forward with his head down, regardless of anything. Jiang Jiang suddenly grabbed a corner of his Taoist robe and pulled him hard to stop him from moving forward.
Du Yueming hurriedly waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop moving forward. He and Captain Guo used flashlights to check the surrounding environment and found the booby trap set by Qingxu.
"Everyone retreat!" Du Yueming shouted loudly, and everyone retreated to a safe distance. Jiang Jiang also retreated to Du Yueming's side.
