Indiana Jones

Chapter 622 The Oriole Behind (02)

As more truths were revealed, Li Siming became increasingly depressed. This kind of blow was indeed not so easy to accept. Maybe he never thought that such a thing would happen to him, but the reality is cruel. It has nothing to do with whether he can accept it.

In contrast, Zhao Chenggong's performance was very calm. He didn't seem to take these messy things to heart. He seemed to see the problem as less complicated than others. If he couldn't do it, he would leave. It was just an errand. Have a meal?
After all, Changsha is a big city. Although it was in the war period, it was still bustling with people. It's just that the ghosts passing by on the street didn't fit in with the bustling scene. They shouldn't have appeared here in the first place.

The hospital where they lived was also searched by the Japanese and puppet troops, and they hid them all.

"Little devil, it took so many years of fighting to occupy Changsha. It is said that 10,000+ people were killed or injured. This is indeed a city that makes the little devil heartbroken." Zhao Chenggong said standing at the window and looking at the passing Japanese soldiers below.

"If cities across the country can hold on for several years like Changsha, it's impossible for the little devil to occupy half of China so quickly." Si Xuanyi leaned on the bed and said, "It's a pity that such cases are rare."

"If the Nationalist Government had been able to actively resist the war, it would not be what it is today." Lin Feng said while sitting on a chair beside him. Among all the people, only he and Ye Feng were the least injured, and they were basically responsible for taking care of people and running away. , but most of the time, one person will be left to take care of everyone, and the other person will go shopping, run errands and inquire about news or something.

"Help me arrange it, I have to go back." Li Siming whispered to Lin Feng.

"Why go back? To die?" Si Xuanyi immediately objected. In his opinion, Li Siming's idea was too irrational.

"Some things have to be understood, and we can't just be so confused." Li Siming said, "I think clearly, don't stop me."

"I don't agree." Zhao Chenggong said, "It took so much effort to get you out, and paid such a high price, but I didn't let you mess around here. If you go back, we will be in vain. Done?"

"It's not that serious. I don't think Director Mao will just silence me like that. I have to ask about some things." Li Siming seemed very firm.

"Why are you more naive than me?" Si Xuanyi shook his head helplessly, "You think you can figure out something when you go back, do you think those people will tell you the truth? It's nothing more than taking a life, and in the end nothing will be solved Not sure."

"You can rest assured that I have made corresponding arrangements for the affairs in Chongqing. No one will be implicated because of this, and no one will lose their life because of you." Lin Feng said, "You don't need to worry about anything."

"By the way, where's your old mother? Are you settled?" Si Xuanyi suddenly thought of Lin Feng's mother.

"My mother has always been in my hometown. The previous one was disguised by one of my comrades to cover up my identity. She has already escaped. Don't worry about it." Lin Feng said.

"My old lady hasn't settled down either!" Zhao Chenggong sighed.

"Do you still need to worry about your real and fake family members? You have never told us the truth." Ye Feng came in from outside with a big bag and a small bag. This is the dinner he prepared for everyone.

"Why tell the truth to you? I don't know you well?" Zhao Chenggong gave him a blank look and said.

"Don't worry, I have already made arrangements, and they will be fine." Ye Feng said, "I have corresponding arrangements for everyone! You don't have to worry about these things."

Lin Feng's words reminded Si Xuanyi of his family members who had been resettled in the liberated area. It seemed that they had already made preparations. Maybe Linfen had already arranged for these people to go to the liberated area. It was definitely possible.

With no worries, you can consider joining or cooperating, Si Xuanyi understands in his heart.

"I don't believe it... I haven't seen anyone, so I can only take it as bullshit." Zhao Chenggong was really smart when setting it up.

"When your injury recovers, I'll take you to see them." Lin Feng said without haste.

"At first, I thought I could talk to you about the conditions, but now it seems that there is no need for it. If my mother is here, I will say nothing in your hands." Zhao Chenggong said while pretending to be very scared.

"Don't do this, kid. Do you think I will use my family members like a little devil? You are an insult to me. Be careful that I will break your neck." Lin Feng would not accept his tricks.

"Then we can only go to the liberated area in the next step?" Li Siming asked, he could see that the overall situation was settled, and he was powerless.

"Let's see the situation first, there are devils everywhere, let's wait for a while, one can recuperate, and the other is that everyone's health is not good, and it's impossible to travel long distances. The point is, do you want to go? I can’t force you if you don’t want to?” Lin Feng said, “Of course the point is what you think, not where I want to take you, but where do you want to go?”

"I've gotten to the point where I have nowhere to go, where else can I go?" Li Siming smiled wryly, "Let's go home first."

What he said meant that he didn't seem to want to follow Lin Feng.

"As far as your virtue is concerned, you can't scare my old lady into getting sick when you go home. You should just stay here to recuperate." Ye Feng has a thorough understanding of the problem, at least he can help everyone relieve the embarrassment at the critical moment.

"Where to go and where to go, you decide for yourself. Everything I do now is based on the feelings we have accumulated as brothers in life and death. It is not for anything else. Although I did not tell you the truth before, I have no reservations in combat. , see you as brothers, and hope that this relationship can be maintained now and in the future." Lin Feng said, "I know that you are now at a crossroads in your life, and it is difficult to choose where to go, but I believe that you will eventually have A right choice."

"Come on...don't make a long speech here." Zhao Chenggong waved his hands impatiently, "These words don't make any sense at all. We don't even know where we should go. Your disturbance is clearly trying to win us over." Ever since he learned of Lin Feng's identity, he has had some prejudice against this kid, and he always targets him unknowingly when he speaks.

"Okay, let's eat first, what's the use of saying these words?" Ye Feng stuffed the things into Zhao Chenggong's hands, "Gag your mouth first, eat enough, sleep well, and work hard all day, Do you still want to recover from your injury?"

It's true that everyone is confused, they don't know how to make a choice, or they can't convince themselves. In short, this matter is indeed a bit difficult for them.

It's just that this kind of peaceful day is not as comfortable as imagined. It's not because of what happened, but because their previous life was too ups and downs, and such an ordinary day has not adapted to it in the past. If it is not for physical reasons, Li Siming may have ignored it. Everything went back, no matter what Lin Feng said, he was still not at ease about everything over there. It was really not easy for him to give up everything he had created in such a hasty way after many years of operation. There will be no results, but he himself can't pass this level.

Although Zhao Chenggong's injury is not that serious, it is not so convenient to move. This guy is naturally active, and he will not be hit by all these tricks and tricks, and he will not recover. He seems to think clearly. It doesn't matter whether he goes back or not. In the end, they couldn't change anything. Si Xuanyi was still hesitant and unable to make a final decision. He always had some concerns, but he couldn't even explain what he was worried about. However, things have reached the current stage He has no way to turn back. He has gone through so many ups and downs. Not only did he not see the world clearly, but he was even more confused. Originally, he was just a person who could fight against wars and kill enemies and defend his family and country. It's better to get out sooner or later, but this world doesn't seem to be developing in the direction of peace and prosperity, what should I do?Continue to work hard for the beautiful era in your dreams, or just retire to the countryside and ignore world affairs?He couldn't figure it out, maybe he was just deceiving himself and didn't want to figure it out.

Two or a few days later, Lin Feng got the news that the department in Chongqing had been taken over by a new leader, and the new section chief was Director Mao's secretary. They knew each other before, and they could be regarded as Director Mao's cronies. Sure enough, there were relatives in power. As for all the previous people, Liang Wei and the woodcutter are still there, Liang Wei's rights have been weakened to a certain extent, the woodcutter has really become a consultant, and Liu Xiaotian was promoted to be the leader of the action team, in charge of various tasks. The big external action is no longer just a single action team leader, the power has been consolidated and strengthened, and the entire department has doubled in size. The first thing they do is to sort out the large number of cultural relics they brought back before. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that, This is dividing up treasures. There must be a large part of them that are precious, and the items will disappear out of thin air. Through this process, they will enter the private pockets of some upper-level officials. When the situation is critical, they will not snatch them from the devils. Those important cultural relics that are about to be lost overseas are still there Starting to sort out the things that are already in hand internally is simply not doing business properly at the expense of the other.

"This is official news, but the situation I know in private is somewhat different. Liang Wei is not simply weakened, but is basically no longer in charge of personnel and logistics management. She is only responsible for files and daily clerical work. Qiao Woodman Has been completely squeezed out, only a nominal consultant, and no longer participates in any related actions. Liu Xiaotian has indeed been promoted. Basically, he has been under the surveillance of his deputy for a long time, but he is not as free as before. In the process of the test, if you can pass it smoothly, you may really gain trust. If you are difficult, you will definitely be torn off quickly; but now it is equivalent to not doing any external tasks, and turning the focus to collecting intelligence. Not against Japan, but our liberated areas."

"They are gathering power..." Si Xuanyi said in a tone, "It seems that our existence before was redundant..."

"Then what are they going to do?" Zhao Chenggong didn't understand.

"It's very simple, it's just to eliminate dissidents, and they don't intend to tolerate any external forces. What they fear most now is not the little devils, but the anti-Japanese forces in the vast liberated areas." Lin Feng said, "The defeat of the little devils is set, and it's only a matter of time before they get out , They are worried that our liberated areas will pose a threat to them, and they will not tolerate our existence."

"As for not? What's the point? Is it possible that after fighting the war of resistance for so many years, you still want to fight your own people? Why can't you just live a good life for a few days?" Zhao Chenggong shook his head and felt that this was unreasonable.

"Some things are out of our control, and of course they won't change because of our wishes." Lin Feng said, "It's a good thing now, they are not doing their jobs properly, and all the foundations we have laid before are in vain, but from another perspective, it is good for us to grab those things back. It didn't fall into the hands of the devils, so thinking like this can only be used as a psychological comfort, in fact, it is self-deception."

"Nonsense, even if those things are not really divided up by them, there are a few left." Zhao Chenggong said, "It's a pity, we worked so hard before, but now we are such a dog. done."

"Have they really stopped carrying out external mutual protection actions?" Li Siming asked!

"It's been at least ten days since there were no missions outside. After the deployment of missions after you left, basically no new operations were launched. Liang Wei has confirmed this." Lin Feng said.

"Liang Wei?" Si Xuanyi frowned, "Could it be that she also..."

"Don't think too much, I just asked someone to ask him some things in my personal capacity, he is not one of us." Lin Feng said.

"They want to completely turn this into a secret service agency. I really didn't expect it to end like this." Li Siming sighed quite disappointed.

"Then why was such a department established in the first place?" Zhao Chenggong didn't understand again.

"At the beginning, maybe it was forced by the form, or because the external voice was relatively high, so I had to deal with it, so I hurriedly established such a department. Otherwise, this job would not have fallen on my head. Look at me from the original perspective. I was lucky to reach the sky in one step, and joined the senior military department to become a middle-level cadre, but now it seems that I am just a temporary substitute, and I was eventually abandoned. Inevitably, it will end like this." Si Xuanyi sighed, "For them, I am an outsider after all, and all this has already been predestined. As an outsider, being excluded is really nothing, because many outsiders have been directly killed. It's a kind of luck to be excluded, at least you can still live...It's so fucking ridiculous..."
