The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1810 The Strange Crossroads (I)

Shuiquan Town is destined to be restless tonight.

Not only is Shuiquan Town unpeaceful, the road leading to Shuiquan Town is also unpeaceful.

Just after midnight, a beam of yellow light came out of Shuiquan Town and "walked" out. It was a lantern.

The lantern was not covered with white paper but thin cloth of inferior quality, so the light emitted by the lantern was dim.

Under the light, there were two swaying, elongated shadows, one large and one small.

The light was very weak, but that did not stop the boy under the light from saying carefully: "Dad, let's turn off the light."

"Why? How can we walk in such dark?" the middle-aged man who was walking with the boy asked back.

There was a faint light of fire just behind them, but that was in Shuiquan Town, and the light from there could not possibly reach here, so the pitch-black darkness here was no different from the darkness in rural China today.

"Then why are we leaving?" the boy asked.

"Didn't you hear any gunfire these two days? Didn't you see any soldiers watching the grain harvest in the fields?" The middle-aged man still answered his son's question with a rhetorical question.

"Since it's so unsafe, if I hold a lantern in such a dark place, I feel like there are many eyes staring at us." The child expressed his concerns.

Just the words of the child made the middle-aged man shiver involuntarily.

Oh no! How could I have forgotten this? He quickly moved closer to the lantern and blew away the flame.

The father and son came to Shuiquan Town to work as temporary workers harvesting wheat.

However, when they were harvesting wheat in the fields outside, they heard faint gunshots coming from Shuiquan Town. Later, these people who were harvesting wheat also saw soldiers with guns patrolling the fields.

This situation undoubtedly made a commoner like the middle-aged man feel uneasy.

Fortunately, the housekeeper of Shuiquan Town paid him today's wages before dark.

So he decided to take his children and leave quickly!

  This year is different from previous years. Not to mention that all kinds of gods are fighting for this little bit of food, even if both of them are captured and forced to serve as soldiers, who can they complain to?

But before the middle-aged man could blow out the lantern, his son called him back: "Dad, don't blow it out yet!"

"Why?" the middle-aged man asked again.

"I suddenly have an idea." said the child.

"What idea?" the middle-aged man asked.

The middle-aged man is honest and timid by nature. When the two of them are together, the young man usually makes more decisions.

The boy moved closer to the middle-aged man and began to speak in a low voice.

No one knew what idea the young boy gave to the middle-aged man. In the end, the middle-aged man just muttered in a low voice: "This lantern is a waste."

However, although he said that the lantern was wasted, he still put the lantern on the side of the road, and he and most of his sons walked back, towards Shuiquan Town.

The light from the lantern was very dim. How many meters could it illuminate? Soon the father and son disappeared into the darkness.

So the world was still as dark as ever, with only a lamp placed on the roadside emitting a dim light.

But in fact, the middle-aged man and his son changed direction after leaving the range of light, and they went down the road.

They carefully avoided the light and went back into the wilderness, but this time they did not take the main road. Instead, they carefully passed through the wilderness diagonally.

Because according to what the boy said, we should go through the wild area. Who knows how many people are watching us!

Let's put the lanterns here. If someone comes from a distance, they will look at the lanterns and won't notice us. We can just sneak away in the dark.

There is a saying that there must be a talented person or genius among ten thousand people.

To be honest, this kind of talent or genius has little to do with the education they receive, it is more of a gift. Whether such a talent can grow up depends only on whether he has what later generations call a "platform" or has the resources that can enable him to grow.

There is no doubt that the young boy is such a talent. Who could have imagined that his behavior, which was almost a prank in order to make himself feel safe, would cause so much confusion to those who came after him.

Because the boy didn't notice that the lantern was placed at a "Y"-shaped fork in the road. The vertical part of the "Y" was the straight road leading to Shuiquan Town, and the two points on it were naturally different forks in the road.

In fact, there are people walking on the fork in the road.

When Hou Kanshan and his men approached the "Y"-shaped intersection from one road, they naturally saw the yellow light. He gave a low order and the dozens of soldiers behind him all squatted down.

So they all stared at the yellow light.

Of course, they didn't know what the light was, but they knew that there would be a big battle in the Shuiquan Town area.

So in this originally dark night, the sudden appearance of a yellow light at the intersection seemed too abnormal!

  There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. How dare they approach that ball of light?

Due to the soldiers' professional habits, all they could imagine in their minds was that when some of them cautiously approached the yellow light, they would be exposed to the sight of the enemies that might exist nearby.

Then, in the darkness, the sound of "bang" or "bang bang bang" of gunfire was heard, and then all the people close to the yellow light were shot.

Isn’t this logic normal? Any normal person would have this normal logic.

Then the strange light blocked the way of Hou Kanshan and others.

Hou Kanshan rushed over to call the police for Shang Zhen.

As for the content of the report to the police, Hou Kaishan himself felt ashamed.

Because he didn't know the specific content of his warning, he only discovered the abnormality through the details.

When Hou Kanshan led his men to meet Hu Lielie and the others, he just smelled blood, but a soldier tripped over a corpse on the road.

Even though Hou Kanshan was a veteran, and even though the people in Shang Zhenying had always been very disciplined, one could still imagine the chaos and shock caused by being tripped by a dead body in the middle of the road. It almost led to an accidental discharge of the gun!

What shocked Hou Hanshan and his men even more was that they first discovered that the three people who died in the middle of the road were actually from the Northeast Army.

Under the circumstances at the time, it was impossible for them to light a fire for illumination, and any little light might attract shooting in the dark.

The reason they were sure that the three men were from the Northeast Army was that when they touched each other's clothes they felt a familiar texture.

  Then Hou Taishan could only signal the soldiers to drag the three dead men to a dark place, and then watch them with a lighter. At that time, they were naturally even more shocked, because the three people they saw were Hu Lielie, Shi Laosi and the Gemini!

Shocked, Hou Hanshan naturally wanted to find out the cause of death of these three people, and then he discovered that these three people were killed by box guns.

At this point, what dangers could Kanshan care about? He led his men back to the place where he found Hu Lielie and the other three.

He sent people to guard in front and search with flashlights in the back, and then he found a series of footprints heading towards Shuiquan Town.

After analyzing the situation for a moment, Hou Kanshan sent someone to inform Chu Tian, ​​while leading his men towards Shuiquan Town.

Just when they saw the lights of Shuiquan Town in the distance, they discovered the yellow light at the fork in the road ahead.

Now that they can't distinguish between friend and foe, do they dare to rush over? Of course not.

So now he can only wait and see.

What Hou Kanshan didn't know was that just as they began to watch the evening light, another group of people came behind them.

The group of people also noticed the light ahead and squatted down. They did not dare to move forward.

Fortunately, this group of people was far away from Hou Kanshan and his men, and they did not discover the Northeast Army soldiers who were also hiding in the darkness, and the same was true for Hou Kanshan and his men.

That would have been fine, but while the two groups were waiting, some people came from another fork in the "Y"-shaped intersection. However, there were so many of them that Hou Kanshan and the group behind them heard the noise.

  But when the larger group suddenly stopped and fell silent, Hou Kanshan and his men, as well as the group behind them, were all certain that the other party was definitely not ordinary people!

Then a strange scene happened. The three groups of people hid in the two forked roads at the "Y"-shaped intersection, looking at the yellow light in front of them, but no one dared to move forward.
