"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.

Patch upon patch.

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 calmly, 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 it's 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, is that okay? It's been most of the day and there's no movement. Maybe we can't do this and have to 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 impossible 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 don't have any left 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, for a family of ten, our work points for the entire year, excluding food like grain and vegetables, only totaled a little over a hundred in cash. It's not bad that we can 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 process is also familiar.

The two went down the mountain.

After walking for a long time, we finally reached 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, go faster, if you can't make it in time, you can only send it tomorrow."

At this time, a figure walked out 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.

The man fired several more shots.

Xiao Yichen and Captain Zhang dropped the firewood behind them and dodged left and right.

Embarrassed.

Xiao Yichen's arm was scratched and Captain Zhang's thigh was pierced.

Xiao Yichen seized the opportunity and lunged forward.

He threw the man to the ground.

With a strong twist of his hands, he restrained his arms.

With a little more force and pressing his back with his knee, the man fell to his knees.

The man was pinned to the ground before he reacted and yelled, "Let me go, let me go..."

Captain Zhang was startled by Xiao Yichen's actions at first, but then he immediately came to his senses, found the rope used to bundle firewood, and tied the man up.

He then used the torn towel around his neck to roll it up and block the man's mouth.

In the hot summer, he was busy in the old forest all day.

I don’t know how many times this torn towel has been wet and dry.

That smell...

"vomit!"

The man felt like vomiting.

It's a pity that his mouth is blocked.

It was so smelly that he rolled his eyes.

After finishing all this, Xiao Yichen and Captain Zhang bandaged themselves.

Xiao Yichen was fine, just a few scratches.

Captain Zhang's thigh was seriously injured, as the bullet went straight through it.

Fortunately, I didn't stay inside.

The location was not deep, and judging from the amount of bleeding, no blood vessels were punctured.

Both of them were sweating.

I don't know if it hurts or is hot.

After Captain Zhang finished, he was confused and looked up at Xiao Yichen: "What's going on? Who is this person? He doesn't look like the one from last night?"

Why did you do it without saying anything?

Xiao Yichen bandaged himself lightly and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

"It wasn't the one from last night, it was the one who followed me to the train station yesterday. I was thinking of playing it safe and catching the bigger fish. So I didn't touch him.

However, judging from the current situation, it is not known whether there are any big fish, and this group of people are really anxious.

Let's go quickly, bring him back, and interrogate him thoroughly to find out who that person was last night!"

Captain Zhang nodded.

"Row!"

In the end, Xiao Yichen was the one who was forced to leave.

Captain Zhang's leg injury was quite serious, so he could only limp along behind.

After returning to the commune police station, Xiao Yichen and Captain Zhang went to disinfect and bandage the wound, while Director Li and Deputy Captain Zhao interrogated the man together.

Still no clue.

This person did give out an address.

Unfortunately, when they went to catch people.

The house is empty.

There was no valuable information left in the house.

Director Li was so angry that he wanted to hit someone with a stool!

……

Zhou Yizi has been missing for two days.

The atmosphere at the entire educated youth site was a bit depressing.

Especially Lin Min, who has been as irritable as a powder keg these past two days and can be ignited at any time.

Everyone was puzzled. They didn't think she and Zhou Yizi had a very good relationship.

Qian Huan looked at Lin Min who was worried about Zhou Yizi.

I sincerely sigh: "This is a friend in need!"

The educated youth around them also felt the same way.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Min was a little more friendly.

This kind of comrade is the best comrade.

Usually he doesn't show off.

Running around for you and worrying about you at critical moments.

People are all made of flesh and blood.

Zhao Lu and Li Fang patted Lin Min's shoulders gently and encouraged her.

"Don't worry, Captain Zhou will be fine."

Lin Min nodded and responded, "Well, I'm not worried, he'll be fine."

In reality, he was already clutching his hair and screaming to the heavens, "Ah, how can I not be anxious? How can I not be anxious? Someone's dead!"
