under fire

under the moonlight.

The sound of mountain wind and insects.

Between the two mountain ridges lies a small mountain god temple.

The root of the outer wall of the temple.

Hu Yi was wrapped in a marching blanket, with one arm slung across his chest, leaning against the wall and dozing with his eyes closed.

His black eyebrows and narrow eyes were covered by a curly gray hat brim.

The nose bridge and jaw line are well defined.

A gray military uniform is no different from the colorless wall next to it.

Not far away, Xiao Hongying led a group of people lying down in the bushes: "What if the devils coming from the west take a detour to the south?"

Liu Yuanqing lay on the stretcher and looked at the stars all over the sky: "Don't worry, the little devil will probably come up from here."

"What do you want to do if you want to catch someone alive?"

"It's been a long time since I killed a ghost elite, my hands are a little itchy"

"Since the little devils are coming to us, why don't we just use machine guns to beat them into sieves?"

"Don't underestimate the devils advancing into the team. Can you guarantee that the machine gun can smash all four devils into a sieve? Besides, in terms of individual soldier ability, except for the boy from Daomen and Luo Fugui, the others are probably no match for the devils at all. , although there are only four of them, the little devils did not walk together. When the gun was fired, the little devils burrowed into the thorn bushes, and then everyone couldn't even find their shadows."

Xiao Hongying had a look of disbelief: "No way? Didn't all the little devils run away in the afternoon?"

"It's on the battlefield in the afternoon. Devils don't get orders, so they usually don't leave the battlefield without permission."

"It seems to make sense"

"This kind of opponent must be highly valued, and we must not give them the slightest chance!"

Pigtail turned to look at the mountain temple: "Hey fox, are you asleep?"

Hu Yi didn't reply.

The flames in the small temple behind him were raging.

Luo Fugui picked up wild boar with a bayonet and played barbecue by the fire.

Several soldiers cooked meat porridge around the fire.

Below the statue of the mountain god is a snoring and sleeping soldier.

I don't know who led a mountain spring to the mountain temple, forming a puddle in front of the temple.

A few soldiers were holding a string of kettles and pressing them into the puddle, and the mouth of the kettles was bubbling and bubbling.

The moon's rays coming from the east temporarily did not reach the slopes west of the col.

"The devil is coming, quickly put out the fire"

"Grandma's Liu Yuanqing came up with bad ideas, didn't he kill the devil at the foot of the mountain?"

down the hillside.

Under the moonlight, a dark figure was hidden in the darkness of the valley.

The hunter militia next to the old bandit Qi held a snake in his hand.

"I said, can you stop playing with that thing and watch me frightened?"

The militiaman said proudly, "Are you afraid of snakes?"

"I'm afraid of this thing?" Old bandit Qi kicked at the militiaman: "Aren't you afraid of it biting you?"

"As long as you move quickly, you can reach seven inches from the top of the snake's head." The militiaman will show the old bandit holding the snake, "Look, like this, raise your hand a little higher, and this thing won't bite you .”

The old bandit Qi felt a little guilty for no reason: "I think, if you cut the snake into pieces, put some salt and mushrooms in a pot, the taste is so good."

The militiaman continued to pinch and gesture again: "Don't underestimate it. If you encounter an enemy, you can pinch the snake's head like this and throw it on the enemy. When it hits the enemy, it will bite."

Captain Qin next to him suddenly muttered, "The devil is here."

The hillside seemed to have no end at all.

Even though there were only four devils left, the corporal still arranged for a vanguard.

Dragging their short legs that seemed to be stuffed with lead, the devil's vanguard walked up the hillside step by step through the bushes.

The eastward mountain road in the valley is rugged and curved, and the trend is irregular. The valley forms a bend on the east side and turns southward.

It is necessary to save time and go eastward. It is the best choice to turn over the low mountain at the foot.

Tubalu, who was chasing after him, was lingering and followed him like a hyena from noon to night, shooting long distances from time to time.

Try to be alert to the possible hidden crisis in the dark hillside.

The rifle was attached to the horizontal end of the waist, and the bayonet on the muzzle kept pulling away the miscellaneous things in front of him.

Then, panting heavily, he walked among the bushes and rocks, and three cautious figures followed behind him appeared one by one.

The bushes and weeds are half the height of a person. If the devils cannot be wiped out in one fell swoop, and the devils take the opportunity to drill into the bushes, it is almost impossible to find them at night.

Time passed by every minute and every second.

I don't know how long it took.

It seems like a long time has passed, and it seems that time has stopped passing.

The first black shadow that came over had already climbed the col and entered the encirclement.

For a moment, the ghost soldier felt as if he heard the coughing in the mountain wind, which came from the small temple in front.

The three figures behind continued to follow.

The devil's vanguard still couldn't stop, and after listening carefully for a long time, there was still no sound.

Standing quietly on the mountain col, holding the rifle at a slant, motionless, the surroundings are too quiet!
It was completely different from the environment where the summer insects screamed arrogantly everywhere he passed.

There seems to be some monster hidden in the small temple in front.

The three figures following behind stopped because of his stop: "What's the matter?"

It turned out to be Chinese.

The sharp soldier looked around vigilantly: "I always feel that something is wrong, it's too quiet here!"

The upper class soldier at the back looked unhappy: "Even these insects on the ground are afraid of the warriors of the imperial army. What are you worried about? Hurry up!"

The vanguard was restless, and his eyes turned from the mountain temple not far away to the bushes and weeds next to him.

There are countless insects all around, making it even more silent and deep.

The first-class soldier pushed the vanguard: "Be quiet, get out of here!"

The desolate and dilapidated old temple was shrouded in the bright moonlight, and the devils planned to pass by the side of the mountain temple.

Suddenly found that there seemed to be light in the ancient temple. In such an environment, the halo in the temple brought a heavy pressure to the devil's vanguard.

The four devils quickly dispersed.

There was no movement as if there was a smell of barbecue coming from the temple.
Where there is light, there are people, which makes the devils even feel a little scary.

rustle
The first class remained vigilant and stepped on clumps of weeds towards the gate of the mountain temple.

In the open environment, the sound of the calf pushing the weeds is very clear.

rustling.
rustle
The first class soldier's ears moved slightly, and he heard a sound beside him, as if something was watching him in the dark.

Suddenly turned around and looked around.

The moonlight is like water, the weeds are lush, and the mountains are majestic. There is nothing but the figures of three companions not far behind.

The first class soldier stopped for a moment in fear, then moved his legs forward again.

rustling.
The footsteps came again, this time he could hear them very clearly, there was definitely something following behind him.

How could it be so wicked?
When you first entered the temple, you encountered ghosts in Chinese legends?
He looked back again, but the leading soldiers in the team followed.

What are you doing here?I saw you didn't move just now, so I thought I had discovered the situation.
The fire in the temple was still on, and the upper class soldier raised his gun to prepare to shoot, but he was afraid that the sound of the gun would reveal his position.

After hesitating for a while, he lowered his gun,
Quicken your pace and rush towards the temple gate.

Quickly rushed out of the wild grass, approached the gate, and jumped up the four steps in one step. With a muffled bang, the upper class soldier knocked open the latticed gate of the mountain temple.

Finally, he could see clearly that there were traces of a fire not long ago, and the residual smell of meat made the upper class soldier's throat turn up and down.

Panting and turning back: "Before we came, there should be someone here, and they should have seen us and fled away."

The two devils behind followed and broke into the temple.

The first class soldier took off the water bottle from his waist and handed it to one of the devils: "You hurry up and fetch two pots of water. By the way, inform Ozaki-kun to be on guard."
The ghost who followed in looked a little flustered: "I always feel that this place is not normal"

"The fire went out not long ago, so it should be the nearby villagers." The first-class soldier carefully checked the fire that had not been completely extinguished: "The pursuers are still far behind, rest for a while before leaving."

"Will there be an ambush?"

"If there is an ambush, they should do it when we go up the mountain, and we can't wait until now!" The first class soldier skillfully blew the fire on the fire.

The light of the fire slowly illuminates the small mountain temple.

"Hey, why is there a god statue on this ground?" the corporal looked at the god statue lying on the ground and said to himself.

The devil behind was startled, and immediately looked up, what is that statue on the shrine?
Just looked up.

The majestic statue on the altar, holding the pole used to hit the door in his hand, smashed directly at the head of the upper class soldier.
Tom.
Before the corporal could recover, he was hit on the forehead with a stick.

Then, a few black shadows jumped down from the roof beams, swarmed up, and directly pressed the head of the dumbfounded ghost who looked at the god statue into the fire.
The ghost who was fetching water heard the movement in the temple and hurriedly looked back.

He stretched out a hand out of the cold water and pulled the thing directly into the puddle.

Then, seven or eight black figures appeared around the puddle, pushing the devil's head into the water
Before the vigilant devil could react, a cold arrow pierced his neck.
