Double Agent Saga

Zuo Shaoqing slowly slowed down his tone, "Listen, you drive here, don't try to play tricks. I sit in the back compartment, and I will keep an eye on you at all times. If you dare to stop, I will shoot you to death You! Do you understand?"

The driver looked at the gun in her hand in horror and nodded repeatedly.

Zuo Shaoqing said: "Now, drive! Keep driving! No parking!"

The driver restarted the car and drove onto the street.Zuo Shaoqing stared at him, and slowly put away the gun.Then, she opened the door, climbed onto the side of the car, and climbed into the back compartment.

The morning breeze was very cool, whistling past her ears.She shrunk down and sat in the pile of goods, looking ahead through the gap in the side panel of the carriage with vigilant eyes.After the day was completely bright, the rising sun began to scorch Zuo Shaoqing in the carriage.But she never dared to relax and stare ahead for a moment. [

The road conditions were bad and the car was bumping forward.On both sides of the road are forests, scattered farmland and occasional villages.After turning around the hillside, a small market town appeared in front of it. Some old tile-roofed houses and more dilapidated thatched houses were unevenly hidden among the trees.

Zuo Shaoqing noticed that the driver slowed down, as if intending to stop.She tapped the roof of the car several times with the butt of the gun.The car picked up its speed again and went straight through the middle of the small market town.

Until three o'clock in the afternoon, the dilapidated delivery truck finally arrived at Baishi Town.The truck pulls up on the side of the road.The fat driver looked behind carefully, but there seemed to be no one in the car.He opened the door, stood on the pedal and looked into the compartment.There was really no one in the car.With a face full of astonishment, he climbed into the carriage with trembling hands and feet, and looked into the gap between the goods. There was indeed no one in the carriage.

An hour later, the driver reported to the Baishi Town Police Station that a woman threatened him with a gun and forced him to drive to Baishi Town.But when the woman got out of the car, he didn't know.

Another hour later, the news was cascaded up to Lieutenant Colonel McCann's office.

Lieutenant Colonel McCann was a little puzzled by such a situation.From Baishi Town to the west, it is indeed possible to reach the border, which can be seen clearly on the map.But there are dense villages and towns in this area, full of farmland and working farmers.There are even farmlands on both sides of the border.It is absolutely impossible to cross the border from here without being detected.

Lieutenant Colonel McCann frowned.He judged that if this woman was Zuo Shaoqing, he believed it must be.Then, Zuo Shaoqing must have got off the car before arriving at Baishi Town.But where did she get out of the car?A few hours away, the range is too great.

But there was one thing Lieutenant Colonel McCann was sure of.Zuo Shaoqing has now left the Cam Ranh Bay area and is heading west.Her purpose must have been to cross the border.

Lieutenant Colonel McCann turned around and said to Captain Aben beside him, "Take your soldiers and disperse along this road, head north, and search in the direction of Da Lat Mountain. Captain, you must find her!"

The emotions of Asians are rarely shown outside.Although Captain Aben was full of doubts in his heart, he didn't express anything, let alone ask.He looked at Lieutenant Colonel McCann with a straight face, saluted, then turned and left the office to gather his soldiers.

In fact, Zuo Shaoqing jumped off the truck at the risk of being thirty kilometers away from Baishi Town.This was something she had already considered before getting into this truck.She will do everything in her power to cover her tracks and delay Colonel McCann's pursuit of her.

After jumping out of the truck, she stuck the Colt pistol in her back as usual, then put on her backpack, got off the road, and walked towards the forest among the hills.

Although it's only April, it's already sweltering summer for this country.The afternoon sun cast fire-like heat, there was no wind in the sparse forest, and the vegetation exuded dry and scorching heat in the sun.

Zuo Shaoqing's face was covered with sweat, and his shirt was drenched with sweat and stuck tightly to his body.

She looked at her watch, it was past four o'clock in the afternoon.She walked through the forest and walked up a small hill panting.She looked down the hillside, and there were patches of farmland in the sparse forest.Some houses built with bamboo and thatch are hidden under the shade of trees, quiet and serene, without any danger.

When Zuo Shaoqing looked at the houses below the mountain, he was a little confused for a moment.The address given to her by the frail Dr. Mei said "Wazhuliao", which she said was a small village. "Wazhuliao" is just a small dot on the map.But here, the dilapidated houses are scattered on the surrounding hills, and each house is far away from each other.Which house, she wondered, was the one she was looking for?

She soon saw that there was only one path leading to the houses, winding through hills and farmland.In the hills, it is a small road, but in the farmland, it is just a narrow ridge, so narrow that only one person can walk.She saw that she really had no choice but to follow the path down the hill.

When walking on the winding path, Zuo Shaoqing gradually discovered something strange.The houses scattered far and near are all strung on this path like gourds.If she wants to go to the second house, she must walk through the door of the first house.The same goes for distant houses.She vaguely realized that the first house, like a sentinel, was stuck on the path.She felt that the person she was looking for should be the person who lived in the first house.

What she gradually approached was a dilapidated bamboo house, the thatch on the roof was already black, the walls were mottled and old, and a big tree shaded the front of the house. [

An old man with gray beard and wrinkled face was sitting on a bamboo chair in front of the door, watching Zuo Shaoqing with his old eyes motionless, just like an ancient statue.

Zuo Shaoqing watched him, and slowly walked towards him.

Zuo Shaoqing carefully considered the identity of the old man in front of the door and his current situation.

She wiped the sweat off her face and tried to show a nice smile.While watching the movement in the bamboo house, she watched the old man's eyes.But she walked up to the old man, and he didn't say a word.He just looked at her motionlessly with his old eyes.

However, as soon as Zuo Shaoqing opened his mouth, he realized the trouble.The old man could not understand her local dialect at all, and she could not understand what the old man said.In fact, she wasn't sure who to turn to.

To her surprise, the old man understood the words "Jinlan Bay" and "Doctor Mei" during her continuous narration.She saw a wary look begin to flash in the old man's eyes, and this made her wary too.But she couldn't understand his question.She only knew that he understood these two words, and she could only say these two words repeatedly.As for what these two words meant to the old man, she didn't know.The situation made her very anxious and restless.

At this time, the old man's back had left the bamboo chair, and he seemed to finally understand something.He turned his head to the inner room, or he might have shouted to the surrounding area.A few seconds later, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy ran over from behind the house.He was barefoot and dressed in shabby clothes.He looked at Zuo Shaoqing with a vigilant and surprised look.

The old man shouted a few words to the boy.The boy responded, turned around and ran towards the path.

This situation made Zuo Shaoqing a little scared.The boy was obviously running to call for someone.But she didn't know who he was going to call.She observed the old man's face, and there was no look of panic or vigilance.She judged that the boy didn't seem to be going to call the police.

The old man pointed to the door and said something to her.She guessed that this was calling her into the house.She looked around, it was easy to be seen standing outside the door like this.She stepped carefully through the crooked wooden door.

The old man was still sitting in front of the door, still looking into the distance with his old eyes.

Zuo Shaoqing took a look around the house, and there was almost no furniture in the house except for a few farm tools.It can be seen that they are very poor.She sat down on the bamboo chair at the door, looked at the old man outside the door through the crooked door, and observed the only path.If anyone comes, it will be on that path first.She was planning for the worst in her heart.

About half an hour later, the boy led a middle-aged man in his 40s and ran along the winding field ridge.

The middle-aged man was carrying a shovel, his clothes were unbuttoned, his trousers were rolled up to his knees, and his naked feet were covered with mud.He walked to the door, looked at Zuo Shaoqing sitting in the door, and said a few words to the old man.The old man also said a few words to him, and then pointed to the room.

The dark-skinned middle-aged man stepped into the door and looked at Zuo Shaoqing with surprise and vigilance.

At this time, Zuo Shaoqing also stood up quietly, watching the middle-aged man cautiously.Her right hand was inadvertently hidden behind her, close to the gun stuck in her lower back.She kept saying to the middle-aged man, "Jin Ran Bay, Doctor Mei."

She judged that middle-aged people should also be able to understand these two words.She pointed at herself again.

The middle-aged man looked her up and down, and began to nod, as if to indicate that he had understood.After that, he pointed to Dalat Mountain behind the house with a questioning look.He pointed to himself, then to Zuo Shaoqing, and then to the mountain behind the house.

Zuo Shaoqing vaguely understood what he meant.She took out the map from her pocket and spread it in front of him.Point out to him the location of Da Lat Mountain, then keep pointing west, all the way to the border.Finally, she pointed to herself, crossed the border with her fingertips, and then looked up at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man nodded vigorously, indicating that he already understood.Then he looked at the path outside the door, thinking seriously.He finally turned to Zuo Shaoqing, pointed to the sun to her, pointed to himself, pointed to Zuo Shaoqing, and then pointed to Da Lat Mountain.

Zuo Shaoqing guessed that he meant to leave immediately.She understood that it was urgent.She thought about it again, took out the stack of francs from her backpack, and handed it to the middle-aged man.

A happy expression immediately appeared on the face of the middle-aged man.But he only took out a few francs, and returned the rest to Zuo Shaoqing.Zuo Shaoqing smiled, took out a few banknotes, and stuffed them into his hand. [

The smile on the face of the middle-aged man was even brighter, and he nodded his thanks to her.He took the few francs and went outside the door, said a few words to the old man, and handed him the money in his hand.

The old man took the money, turned his head and waved at Zuo Shaoqing, with a rare smile on his face.After that, he rolled up the few francs and carefully stuffed them into the pouch at his waist.
