"Before Miss Hongxia wakes up, it seems we can only wait for them to come back before we know what happened." Zhao Jinyu said helplessly.

"I'll continue..."

"Save your energy"

Wei Ran stopped the Oroqen girl who was about to continue praying, "Unakan, can you tell me about the letter Cui Bearded asked you to send now?"

"It's best to talk about the causes and consequences," Zhao Jinyu added.

After a moment of hesitation, Unakan sat down against the edge of the Kang, took off the robe-corner hat he was wearing, and said, "A few months ago, shopkeeper Yang contacted Zhao Jinshan. At that time, my father was responsible for helping Yang.

The shopkeeper delivered the letter."

"How do you, Shi... and Shopkeeper Yang know each other?" Wei Ran asked.

"More than ten years ago, my father helped shopkeeper Yang Da collect leather materials. Many of the leather materials from our tribe were sold to shopkeeper Yang Da. My father and shopkeeper Yang Da are old friends.

Later, when Shopkeeper Yang took over, especially after they moved to Khabarovsk, the boss asked my father and I to follow Shopkeeper Yang and do her work."

"So that's what happened." Wei Ran nodded, "Let's continue talking about Cui Big Beard."

Turning to look at Wei Ran, Unakan paused and continued, "Almost two months ago, Big Beard Cui came, and Shopkeeper Yang asked us to take Uncle Big Bearded to find Zhao Jinshan."

"Then something happened halfway?" Zhao Jinyu couldn't help but ask.

"No"

Unakan shook his head, "After the bearded uncle stayed there for a few days, shopkeeper Yang asked us to escort him back across the river. Not long after crossing the river, the Japanese started chasing us."

At this point, Unakan paused and continued, "After Uncle Bearded's accident, I kept rushing here with the letter he gave me, and then I met Brother Wei."

"Cui Dabeard's letter..."

"I want to hand it over to Hu Bazhi or Tian Xiaohu with my own hands." Unakan was still wary.

"What do you think?" Zhao Jinyu turned to look at Wei Ran.

“At least Shiyi is fine”

Wei Ran said calmly, "Otherwise, the Japanese would have found this place by following the clues. Now we can only wait and see what Hu Bazhi and Squad Leader Xiaohu say when they come back."

"That's all we can do," Zhao Jinyu sighed feebly.

"You should eat something first"

Wei Ran took the initiative to change the subject, "Open it up and eat. I even picked up half a fan of pork on the way here."

"You are so lucky." Zhao Jinyu shook his head in confusion.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Unakan, who knew the inside story, rolled his eyes secretly, "Aren't we going to find Hu Bazhi or Tian Xiaohu?"

"Need not"

Wei Ran waved his hand, picked up the lunch box on the clay stove and handed it to Zhao Jinyu, "When we came here, there was still a fire in the clay stove, not to mention that Miss Hongxia was still there.

I guess they can't go far, so let's wait, maybe they will come back after daybreak."

Hearing this, Unakan could only suppress the anxiety in his heart, and sat on the edge of the kang, looking worriedly at the sleeping girl Hongxia.

Signaling Zhao Jinyu to eat quickly, Wei Ran also found a wooden pillar to sit down on, secretly sorting out the context of the whole thing.

Obviously, whether Zhao Jinyu couldn't wait for the contact person at the place where the letters were exchanged, or Cui Bearded was chased by the Japanese, this can only mean that someone in the middle leaked the information.

And just like what he said just now, Yang Shiyi is unlikely. She really wants to sell them and just lead the Japanese to the abandoned mine in Langcaozigou.

Now let's see what Hu Bazhi and the others say after they come back...

While thinking about it, Wei Ran lit a cigarette and looked at the situation in the cave again.

The living conditions here are definitely harsh, with dust all over the ground, slightly choking smoke from burning firewood, a faint smell of horse manure and urine coming from the direction of the cave entrance, and tanned animal skins to dry.

The stench emitted during the process, and even the fleas he accidentally saw on Hongxia's body when he was debriding her just now, all hinted at how difficult their life was.

But even so, even though he couldn't find anything else to eat in this cave except dried meat and coarse salt, the place was still filled with pairs of jingle shoes and a set of clothes made of animal skins.

.

I just don’t know how many people live in this cave...

Before Wei Ran could figure out these issues, a slightly violent cold wind blew in from the direction of the cave entrance.

Suddenly, both Wei Ran and Zhao Jinyu realized that someone had come in!

Just looking at each other, the two of them asked Unakan, who was confused, to hide behind the stretched leather.

A moment later, they heard someone coughing loudly and loudly in the direction of the cave exit, and said in a loud voice, "It's windy and snowy outside the door, where is the God of Wealth coming..."

"Brother Hu, it's us! Zhao Jinyu!" Zhao Jinyu, who was hiding behind the pile of leather, was the first to say, "Brother Wei is here too!"

"Jinyu! Brother Wei?!"

Hu Bazhi, who was hiding in the cave tunnel, let out an exclamation and ran in with great strides. Then he saw Wei Ran and Zhao Jinyu standing up from their hiding places, as well as Unakan wearing a roe deer horn hat.

"Ouch! Ouch!"

Hu Ba pointed his fingers and slapped his thigh continuously in joy, "Why are you here! You are here! I miss you so much!"

Before he finished speaking, Hu Bazhi, who was wearing an animal skin coat, a dog skin hat, and a beard, was already hugging Wei Ran and Zhao Jinyu.

Before the three of them could separate, Tian Xiaohu also walked in carrying a baggage.

"Brother Wei! Jinyu!"

Tian Xiaohu loosened the rope, shook hands with Wei Ran and Zhao Jinyu with equal excitement, and asked excitedly, "When did you come? How did you come?"

"It's a long story."

Zhao Jinyu was the first to ask, "Where are you going?"

"The robbery is gone," Tian Xiaohu and Hu Bazhi said in unison.

"Sister Hongxia is injured. We plan to go to the county town and kidnap a Japanese doctor who knows how to operate. However, we need a certificate of good citizenship to enter the city. It just so happened that Mr. Sun was busy checking people recently, so we ambush some people in the middle of the road.

Use the good citizen certificate."

While talking, Tian Xiaohu also threw the furoshiki on a solid wood table and opened it. In addition to some silver coins and Japanese money, there was also a stack of at least twenty books of good citizen certificates in the furoshiki.

"I just treated Hongxia's injury and took medicine. The fever has gone away."

After Wei Ran finished speaking, he glanced at Unakan, who was hesitant to speak at the side, "Let's wait for a while to reminisce about old times. Unakan, let's get down to business first."

Hearing this, Tian Xiaohu and Zhao Jinyu all looked at Unakan, who also took out the envelope with three beautiful feathers on it that he had taken out from the roe deer hat before!

"Da Hu...Cui Da Beard entrusted me with the letter before he died."

As soon as Unakan finished the first half of the sentence, Tian Xiaohu and Hu Bazhi's eyes widened, "Before he died, he asked me to hand the letter into your hands with my own hands."

"What's wrong with Big Beard?" Tian Xiaohu asked calmly as he took the letter.

"He was chased by the Japanese, and my father and I failed to protect him..." Unakan said guiltily.

"Read the letter first," Wei Ran reminded with a sigh, "Let's talk after you finish reading the letter."

"good"

Tian Xiaohu responded, took a deep breath to suppress his nervousness and worry, tore open the envelope and took out the envelope.

"What's going on?" After waiting for less than a minute, Hu Bazhi couldn't help but ask, "Xiaohu, are you going to tell me what's going on?"

"Commander Zhao is not dead. He successfully evacuated to Mao Zi's side."

Tian Xiaohu handed the letter to Wei Ran and whispered, "The captain asked us to gather the soldiers as soon as possible and be ready to join them at any time."

"Meet? How to meet?"

Hu Bazhi said dejectedly, "We have lost contact with Sister Shiyi's people. We don't know where to go. How can we meet up?"

"What did you just say?" Zhao Jinyu asked in astonishment, "You have also cut off contact with sister Shiyi?"

"Broken"

It was Tian Xiaohu who answered this question, "Shortly after Cui Dabeard left with the people arranged by Shiyi, the person she arranged to contact us was arrested by the Japanese.

We estimated that the man was a special girl who had joined the Japanese. Sister Hongxia was almost blocked by the Japanese when she went to ask him about Xin'er a few days ago.

When she fled all the way, she was forced to jump into a ravine and barely survived."

"Didn't I read in the letter that you went to Wang Yachen's department?" Zhao Jinyu pointed around, "Why..."

"Originally, it was over there, but Cui Big Beard took us there."

Tian Xiaohu sighed and explained, "Later, when we got the news that Commander Zhao was coming back, we left there and prepared to continue to follow Commander Zhao to fight the Japanese. Who would have thought... Oh!"

"Commander Zhao suffered heavy losses. Your brother's last letter to us told us to stand still."

Tian Xiaohu sighed, "Big Beard Cui couldn't wait any longer, so he followed Shiyi's people to the north. Not long after he left, something happened to the people arranged by Shiyi, and then something happened to Sister Hongxia, too.

Thinking of a big beard..."

"Uncle Bearded asked me to tell you before he died."

Unakan said at this time, "We must preserve our strength and hope, and don't do things that will lead to death.

He also said that it was necessary to establish a liaison line that the anti-alliance fighters themselves were responsible for, and Zhao Jinshan was waiting on the other side of the river to meet the comrades in charge of liaison."
