Scholars in the courtyard

"I'm willing to cooperate."

Wu Ting said affirmatively and turned around to close the door.

"Mother!"

Yaya ran over, threw herself into Wu Ting's arms, and was hugged tightly.

"Uncle gave me some candy. Uncle Li said he is a good man."

Yaya smiled innocently, and Wu Ting also smiled.

"Yaya, good boy, let's go out and play. Mommy has something to tell uncle."

Yaya nodded, opened the door and ran out to play.

Wu Ting walked into the room and sat next to Team Leader Yu.

Xiaobo at the door was holding a pen, and Xiao Liu put his hands on his waist.

"Hello, you can call me Lao Yu."

"But what should I call you? Wu Ting or Ma Xiaojing?"

The woman didn't react. She didn't panic when her real name was called. She remained calm.

"Just call me Wu Ting!"

After hearing this answer, Team Leader Yu became more confident in his judgment.

"Okay. After living here for so many years, you know our policies. So let's stop beating around the bush and have a good chat, shall we?"

As Team Leader Yu said, Wu Ting stood up and brought him a pitcher of cold water. She picked up the cup for men, held it in both hands, and sat there, as if reminiscing.

After a long time, Wu Ting slowly spoke.

"I am a moth."

"Affiliated to the Intelligence Division of the Fourth Section of the National Police, under the Butterfly Group..."

Hearing the source, Yu Zecheng frowned.

"None of the men in my family know about this. The children are innocent. They don't know anything."

"I know that sooner or later there will be such a day, and I will cooperate with you. I just hope that you can let them go and let them live an ordinary life..."

Wu Ting knew that if the other party could find her, he must have done his homework and even found out her husband's details.

Now she is taken care of without disturbing others.

If he resists and everyone knows that Yaya’s mother is a spy, what will happen to his men? What will happen to Yaya in the future?

As a wife and mother, she couldn't imagine it.

Wu Ting admitted happily, and then told the secret she had been hiding without any reservation.

On the other side, Xiao Liu also found the telegraph machine in the vegetable cellar outside the village based on Wu Ting's instructions.

"This is the codebook!"

Wu Ting stood up and took out a book from the closet.

Team leader Yu took a look and saw that it was a specially edited version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Leave it to Xiaobo to keep, and look at Wu Ting again.

"Do you know butterflies and grasshoppers?"

Wu Ting nodded, no surprise.

"I know. On the surface, Butterfly is my superior, and Grasshopper and I accept her leadership."

"But in fact, after so many years, the hope of counterattack has become increasingly slim. Apart from delivering messages, I have never received any other orders."

Wu Ting said, and told everything she had done in the past few years.

Team leader Yu suddenly frowned, "Do you know Lao Kang?"

"Lao Kang?"

Wu Ting thought for a while, but had no impression.

"Lao Kang has a broken leg and carried out an assassination mission some time ago."

"That time, there were many people who committed sabotage together, causing great panic. Don't say you don't know."

Team leader Yu stared straight at Wu Ting. If the other party told lies, he would definitely be exposed.

However, from beginning to end, Wu Ting looked confused.

"I really don't know about this. But I have sent a message before, which is a message that the mission failed. But I don't know who actually carried it out."

"Grasshopper is responsible for this kind of thing. He has people who specialize in doing this kind of work."

"Who are the people you have contacted?"

Wu Ting's expression calmed down and she struggled a little, but she soon regained her composure.

"I have four men."

"They are Xiang Shang from the Forty-Nine City Textile Factory, Li Jinhao from the Dezhou Lighting Factory, Wang Li from the Jinmen Manufacturing Factory, and Li Man from the Quancheng Textile Factory."

"These people are lurking personnel and will not take the initiative to contact you. If there is a mission, I will activate it according to the code word left in advance."

"Is it just you?"

Team leader Yu picked up the jar and drank water, looking at Wu Ting.

"Yes."

"Yeah?"

"yes."

Wu Ting said affirmatively, and Team Leader Yu placed the jar on the table.

"Then why did Li Man activate it?"

"What?"

"impossible."

Wu Ting's expression suddenly changed and she shouted.

"That's the fact. Li Man started up in Quancheng and tried to sabotage it, but we caught him."

"Otherwise, how do you think we found this place?"

Wu Ting lowered her head, raised her head for a long time and said seriously, "It's not me."

"To be honest, since I had Yaya, I haven't thought about activating them."

"Even more, I want them to live a normal life, preferably for the rest of their lives, without receiving code words."

Wu Ting said it sincerely, and she did the same.

"This is not just what you say, we need evidence."

"If that's all, you have to come with us today. Including your family."

Team Leader Yu spoke calmly, but it was like thunder in Wu Ting's ears.

If the family is taken away, even if the husband and daughter are fine, how can they hold their heads high and behave themselves when they return to the village?

With such a mother, how will Yaya go in the future?

"No, you believe me, I have confessed that it is really not me."

"Who is that!"

Team leader Yu shouted sharply, Wu Ting was shocked all over.

"Who is it? Yes, it's him, it must be him."

"who is it."

"Grasshopper."

"It must be him. He is a lunatic and mentally ill."

"Yes, it must be him. He used to follow the butterfly of the previous generation. This information must have been obtained from there."

"Previous generation? Explain the situation clearly."

Team leader Yu grabbed the topic and asked immediately, and Wu Ting didn't hide anything.

It turned out that they were assigned to Butterfly's subordinates during the evacuation. But before that, Butterfly of the previous generation resigned from his position due to age and physical problems. It is said that he followed the warship to the south. The current Butterfly is the proud disciple of the old Butterfly.

And she followed Little Butterfly later and didn't know what was going on inside.

Wu Ting just said what she heard, "Grasshopper has been following Butterfly from beginning to end. He was left to assist Little Butterfly, so he must know a lot."

"Is the grasshopper a man?"

"Well, generally those who command action teams like this are professionally trained. It's not convenient for women."

"Can you contact Grasshopper?"

Team leader Yu tried to ask.

Wu Ting shook her head, and then nodded again.

"I don't know Grasshopper's identity. We are never allowed to meet each other. In addition to mailboxes, receiving tasks, and delivering information, we only have emergency information contact."

Team leader Yu became more alert, "What emergency information."

"It was a remittance of 1 yuan, 8 cents and 8 cents sent to Jinyang at the post office. The receiving location was No. 888 Laojun Hall, Wucheng Road, Jinyang City Center, and the recipient was Jinyang Li Mu."

"It's that simple?"

"Yes, once emergency information is received, Grasshopper will take action."

Team Leader Yu was silent, his mind spinning rapidly.

Xiaobo on the side suggested, "Team leader, should we ask someone to check this address and person?"

Team Leader Yu remained silent.

Wu Ting didn't dare to speak when she saw him.

There was silence in the room for a long time before Team Leader Yu asked, "Xiaobo, how many days will it take at the earliest to send a remittance order from here to Jinyang?"

"This, usually by express train, takes about two days."

"Two days. If this is sent down below, how many days will it take? At least two days. It adds up to four days. Do you think that if emergency information requires at least four days, is it still emergency information?"

Xiaobo suddenly realized that Wu Ting looked at Team Leader Yu with admiration.

After he said this, he also discovered that there was something wrong with it.

"Team leader, could it be someone from the Post and Telecommunications Bureau who has a problem?"

"This is possible, but I'm sure that as long as there is trouble in Jinyang, people here will not only not take action, but will hide it."

"You are the abandoned bell."

Wu Ting lowered her head and bit her lip, knowing mentally that what Team Leader Yu said was true.

If she was fighting against Japan, she could accept this kind of sacrifice.

But now, this feeling of being abandoned has made all the guilt in her mind disappear.

Team leader Yu asked some more questions, Xiaobo recorded the questions, and finally asked Wu Ting to read it again and ask her to sign for confirmation.

Outside the alley, Wang Xuhan and Captain Li walked back together.

"It's just such a small amount of work, and you still ask me to make a trip. This Baihu Village is becoming increasingly deserted."

Wang Xuhan smiled, Captain Li nodded, and put his arm around Wang Xuhan's shoulder with considerable strength.

When the two came to the entrance of the alley, they saw their daughter Yaya playing with dirt on the ground. Wang Xuhan immediately ran forward and picked up Yaya, "Xiaoya, look at your clothes, they are all stained. Where is your mother?"

"Mom is talking to the uncle at home and letting the little girl come out to play."

"uncle?"

Wang Xuhan was startled, and Captain Li stepped forward, "Is there a guest at home?"

Wang Xuhan nodded and quickly opened the door with his daughter in his arms.

Xiao Liu at the door saw Wang Xuhan and Captain Li walking in together, and nodded to Captain Li, "Captain Li, this is Comrade Wang Xuhan, right?"

Wang Xuhan was a little wary. After all, he didn't know anyone coming into his home, so it would be strange not to be wary.

"Who is this?"

Wang Xuhan asked, Xiao Liu didn't know what to say. At this time, Wu Ting came out of the room, quickly came to Wang Xuhan, and took Yaya nervously.

"You're back. Hurry up and order food in the cellar."

"This is my former leader. He passed by our village this time and came to take a look."

"Previous leader?"

Wang Xuhan didn't react, but looking at Team Leader Yu's expression, he could tell he was a high-ranking official in the city.

"Hello, I am Wu Ting's leader, you can call me Lao Yu."

"Wu Ting and I haven't seen each other for more than ten years. I heard other comrades talk about her, so I came here to see her."

Wang Xuhan did not doubt that it was a lie, because when they got married, Wu Ting said that she had worked in the city, but some unpleasant things happened. Who didn't remember the past in that chaotic era?

"Wait a moment, I'll get it."

"Captain, don't leave either. You will have dinner at my house this noon."

Wang Xuhan ran out in a few steps.

Captain Li stared at Wu Ting, which made Wu Ting feel uneasy.

"Team Leader Yu, what's this?"

Team Leader Yu looked at Wu Ting, and finally at Captain Li, "It was a misunderstanding. Comrade Wu Ting is my colleague."

Captain Li is not easy to fool, but he is not a hard-hearted person either.

Weren’t those people in Lin who had meritorious deeds also been released after undergoing re-education through labor?

In their brigade, this woman does no less work than men on weekdays. She also keeps the house in order and unites friends and neighbors.

He is willing and believes that such a person is a person who has sincerely changed his mind.

"That's good."

"Comrade Wu Ting is not only an expert in our village, but also the mother of a responsible person. She is very popular in our village."

Wu Ting raised her head and looked at Captain Li gratefully, her eyes a little moist.

Team Leader Yu smiled and nodded, while Xiao Bo and Xiao Liu were hesitant to speak.

After lunch was over, Wu Ting and her husband escorted Team Leader Yu out of the village.

When leaving, Team Leader Yu called Wu Ting aside and said, "I hope we won't see each other again."

"I also hope you can be Wu Ting well and don't be Ma Xiaojing."

"Otherwise, you will regret it."

Wu Ting nodded, then raised her head, "Why are you willing to give me this opportunity?"

"Why?"

Team leader Yu fell into memories, "Because we are colleagues."

"I also worked in Jinmen."

Leave a word and the person will be gone.

Wang Xuhan walked up to his wife and said, "Daughter-in-law, what does this old man do?"

But Wu Ting laughed, "Lao Yu, I'm here to catch mice."
