Double Agent Saga

At this time, the middle-aged and young people began to prepare.He took an earthen gun and an ox horn filled with gunpowder from the wall, and hung the hatchet on his waist.Then he took out a basket from the back room, and put a bag of rice cakes, a gourd filled with water, a roll of coarse cloth, and rope in it.On the other side of the house, the boy also hung a hatchet and a large water-filled gourd on his waist.

What made Zuo Shaoqing a little strange was that the boy who hadn't spoken all this time looked at her with surprised and even happy eyes from time to time.He looked a little excited.

After everything was ready, the middle-aged man waved to Zuo Shaoqing and led the way out of the room.

Zuo Shaoqing picked up his backpack and followed closely behind them.They walked along the winding path all the way to Da Lat Mountain.

It was almost evening.The winding path passed several equally dilapidated houses.The hostesses of the houses were preparing supper.They put their hands on their foreheads and looked towards the middle-aged man.The middle-aged man just waved to them and walked directly in front of their door. [

When it was getting dark, they had already entered the tropical rainforest of Da Lat Mountain.

The tropical rainforest is an unfathomable labyrinth full of traps, which makes people who are not familiar with it feel fear and uneasiness.

It was such a maze that the middle-aged father and son led Zuo Shaoqing into.As soon as they entered the rainforest, it was as if they had entered darkness.Occasionally through the branches overhead, fragmentary darkening sky can be seen.

Middle-aged people don't seem to mind the darkness.He chopped off some dead branches with a hatchet, tied them into torches, and walked ahead holding them high.The boy followed closely behind him.The boy looked back at Zuo Shaoqing from time to time, with a strange smile on his face.He sometimes pulls away branches blocking the way for her, or points out to her the ditch under her feet.Occasionally, Zuo Shaoqing would also find that his eyes would glance at her, the kind of voyeuristic and seductive eyes.

Looking at the rainforest at the dark side and the dazzling torch, Zuo Shaoqing hesitated.She didn't know if she should suggest to the middle-aged father and son to stop and rest, and wait until tomorrow to leave.But after thinking about it, now is the most dangerous time.By this time, she guessed, the truck driver must have called the police.Colonel McCann might be confused for a while, but not for long.In the end, he would still send the army and police into Da Lat Mountain to find her and, more likely, kill her.Perhaps it was the best choice for her to cross Da Lat Mountain earlier and cross the border as soon as possible.

At eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, the middle-aged man decided to camp.At this time, the rainforest was eerily silent, and damp moisture began to seep out from every dark corner, filling their bodies.

The middle-aged man chose to camp under a huge banyan tree.A few broad buttresses under the banyan tree protrude from both sides like walls, wrapping them.The middle-aged man spread coarse cloth on this small open space.He gestured for Zuo Shaoqing to rest on the coarse cloth.Zuo Shaoqing nodded to them with a smile, and sat down cross-legged on the coarse cloth.

The middle-aged man lit a small fire under the buttocks.He pulled his son and sat down by the fire, with his back leaning against the buttocks.He waved to Zuo Shaoqing, signaling her to lie down and sleep.

Under the astonished gaze of the middle-aged father and son, Zuo Shaoqing pulled out a pistol from behind his waist, held it in his hand, and tucked it under his armpit.She smiled at them, and lay down on the sackcloth.After a few minutes, she fell asleep.

Falling asleep in the darkness here is like sinking into an abyss.

Zuo Shaoqing was extremely happy to see his sister in this warm sleep.My younger sister lay face to face with her on the bed, her big beautiful eyes staring over her face.The younger sister said: "Sister, are you telling me the truth?" She replied: "You ask, I will tell the truth." She saw her sister opened her mouth wide and sank into the darkness behind her.Around them gray tiles slid down with a sound.The younger sister stared at her, sinking like a sinking abyss, about to slide into darkness.She jumped forward and grabbed her cold hand.The two sisters hung in the air, looking at each other face to face.She vaguely heard her sister shouting: "Ah, it smells so good! Sister, I'm hungry, I'm hungry." After that, the steamed buns and old duck meat from Xinjiekou in Nanjing were mixed with the meat dumplings and rice noodles from Jinlan Bay. Together, floating in front of her eyes, exuding a seductive fragrance.Fragrant!It smells really good!

Zuo Shaoqing slowly opened his eyes, but the surroundings were still surrounded by a gray mist like a dream.In the haze, she saw a round object shaking in front of her eyes.Startled, she almost drew the pistol from her armpit.Then, behind the round thing, she saw a bright smiling face.The boy was looking at her with a smile.

She was fully awake.The gray morning mist floated around her, and there were already bursts of birdsong in the rainforest.Dew dripped from the tall treetops, hitting her like stones.It took her a while to realize that the round thing in front of her was a rice cake that had been baked into a burnt yellow color.

She sits up.Still smiling, the boy brought a rice cake with a wooden stick in front of her.She nodded to the boy with a smile, and took the rice cake.At this time, she really felt her stomach growling.

The middle-aged man sat by the fire, also smiled at Zuo Shaoqing, and continued to bake rice cakes on the fire.

Zuo Shaoqing took a bite of the rice cake. Although it was hard, it had a very special fragrance.The boy handed her a water hyacinth and motioned her to drink.She unplugged the gourd, raised her head and took a long gulp of water.At this time, she already felt that all the energy in her body had been restored.

After breakfast, the middle-aged father and son led her on the road.They stepped over the fallen rotten trees, avoiding the blocking branches and snake-like vines, and walked forward silently.The thick rotting leaves on the ground were soaked in water, and every step they took made a chirping sound.Zuo Shaoqing's shoes were soaked through.She felt that it would be better to walk barefoot like the father and son.

Towards noon, the terrain gradually increased.The middle-aged man stopped unexpectedly.He looked around suspiciously, and listened attentively, with vigilance and uneasiness in his eyes.

Zuo Shaoqing's nerves also tensed, and he looked around vigilantly.Then, she smelled it too, and there seemed to be a smell of freshly burned smoke in the rainforest.She understood that there might be someone nearby.She subconsciously leaned against the tree. [

The middle-aged man pointed to Zuo Shaoqing.While gesticulating, he whispered something.Zuo Shaoqing gradually understood that middle-aged people should go ahead and have a look.If there is no problem ahead, he will stick his thumb up.Then, the two of you, he pointed at Zuo Shaoqing and his son, and then went over.

Zuo Shaoqing nodded to him, and at the same time pulled the boy to his side, leaning against the tree.

The boy leaned against her body, raised his head from time to time, and looked at her face.

The middle-aged man walked forward cautiously with a basket on his back and his gun on his shoulder.

Zuo Shaoqing carefully observed the surroundings, and watched the back of the middle-aged man through the branches, watching him climb a small hill.The middle-aged man stopped, as if observing something.He turned around suddenly and waved his hand vigorously towards Zuo Shaoqing, as if to warn her.But then, without any warning, both Zuo Shaoqing and the boy heard a gunshot in horror.The middle-aged man fell headlong, rolling and falling down the hillside.

Zuo Shaoqing noticed that the whole body of the young man beside him was trembling, and he was about to rush forward.His mouth was already opened, and he was about to cry out.She quickly took him into her arms and covered his mouth tightly.The boy struggled in her arms.She pinned him to the ground in one fell swoop, holding him in place with her arms and legs, still clutching his mouth tightly.Afterwards, she dragged him, retreating bit by bit, all the way to the dense grass.

She felt the boy crying in her arms, his body was trembling all the time.He hugged her waist tightly, his convulsive hands grasping the flesh on her back.She pressed her face against the boy's tear-filled face and rubbed it, trying to comfort him.

A few minutes later, the sound of shouting and running came from the direction where the middle-aged man fell to the ground.Zuo Shaoqing hugged the boy tightly and lay motionless in the grass.Although she couldn't see it, she knew it was the soldiers who were chasing her.

Ten minutes later, some footsteps sounded beside them.Through the blades of grass, Zuo Shaoqing saw some soldiers running past her.Then, she saw a familiar face, it was Captain Aben.

She knew that the delivery trucks in White Rock were not fascinating Lieutenant Colonel McCann.On the other hand, after several months of training, Captain Aben has indeed made great progress.He had actually figured out the direction she was going into the mountain, and even the route she was going to take.When Zuo Shaoqing thought of this, a self-deprecating sneer flashed on the corner of his mouth.The so-called "carpenter wearing a shackle" probably refers to this.

The boy has calmed down a bit.His face was buried in Zuo Shaoqing's chest, and his arms hugged her waist tightly.She felt that her chest had been soaked with his tears.They lay motionless in the grass, and did not leave the grass quietly until they were sure that the soldiers had left.

They observed their surroundings and cautiously walked to the place where the middle-aged man had fallen.There was still a bloodstain and many scattered footprints there.Obviously, the soldiers had already carried the middle-aged man away.

Zuo Shaoqing looked back at the boy, looked at his sad face, and kept looking into his eyes.She patted him on the shoulder, pointed forward, then back, and looked at him questioningly.

The boy looked at her fixedly, with some tears still in his sad eyes.He seemed to have understood what Zuo Shaoqing meant, whether to move on or go back.He hesitated for a moment, then pointed forward.

Zuo Shaoqing smiled, couldn't help but put him in his arms, and stroked his back.The boy lowered his head and stood quietly.For a moment, he raised his head, stared at Zuo Shaoqing with his big black eyes, and then slowly struggled out of her arms.They did not speak any more, and continued walking westward.

It was getting dark quickly.Knowing that soldiers were nearby, they dared neither light torches nor light fires.They got into a dense bush and prepared to spend the night.

Zuo Shaoqing took out the spare crispy rice from her backpack, drank the water from the gourd with the young man, and quickly ate them all.Zuo Shaoqing felt that she had too little backup.Whether she can cross the border tomorrow, she has no idea.

Zuo Shaoqing took out a piece of clothing from his backpack, spread it on the ground, and then pulled the teenagers to lie down on the clothing side by side.
