The War of Resistance
Chapter 1810 The Strange Crossroads (I)
Tonight, Shuiquan Town is destined to be restless.
Not only is Shuiquan Town restless, but the road to Shuiquan Town is also restless.
Just after midnight, a beam of yellow light came out of Shuiquan Town and "walked" out. It was a lantern.
The lantern was not covered with white paper but a thin cloth of inferior quality, so the light emitted by the lantern was dim.
Under the light were two swaying and elongated shadows, one large and one small.
The light was very weak, but it did not prevent the young boy under the light from saying carefully: "Dad, let's turn off the light."
"Why? How can we walk in such darkness?" The middle-aged man who was walking with the young boy asked back.
There was a faint fire behind them, but that was Shuiquan Town, and the fire there could not possibly shine here, so the pitch-black darkness here was no different from the darkness in rural China today.
"Then why should we leave?" the young boy asked.
"Didn't you hear gunfire these two days? Didn't you see soldiers watching the grain harvest in the fields?" The middle-aged man still answered his son's question in a rhetorical way.
"Since it's so unsafe, I feel like there are many eyes staring at us when I light a lantern in such a dark place." The child expressed his concerns.
The middle-aged man shuddered involuntarily at the words of the child.
Oh! How could I forget this? He hurriedly approached the lantern and really blew the flame in the lantern.
The father and son came to Shuiquan Town to work as temporary workers to harvest wheat.
But when they were harvesting wheat in the wheat fields outside, they heard faint gunshots from Shuiquan Town, and later, those who were harvesting wheat also saw soldiers patrolling the fields with guns.
This situation undoubtedly made a commoner like the middle-aged man feel uneasy.
Fortunately, the housekeeper of Shuiquan Town paid his wages for today before it got dark today.
So he decided to leave quickly with his child!
This year is different from previous years. For this little bit of food, all kinds of gods come to fight. Even if they are captured and made into soldiers, who can they complain to?
Before the middle-aged man blew out the lantern, his son called him again: "Dad, don't blow it first!"
"Why?" the middle-aged man asked again.
"I suddenly have an idea." The child said.
"What idea?" the middle-aged man asked.
The middle-aged man is honest and timid by nature. When the two of them are together, the young boy makes more decisions.
The young boy moved closer to the middle-aged man and whispered.
I don't know what idea the young boy gave the middle-aged man. In the end, the middle-aged man just muttered in a low voice: "This lantern is wasted."
But he said that the lantern was wasted, but he still put the lantern on the side of the road, and he and his son walked back, that is, towards Shuiquan Town.
The light of the lantern was very dim, so how many meters could it illuminate? Soon the grandfather and his son disappeared into the darkness.
So the world was still so dark, with only a lamp on the roadside emitting a bleak light.
In fact, the middle-aged man and his son changed direction after leaving the range of light, but they went down the road.
They carefully avoided the range of light and went back in the wilderness, but this time they did not take the main road, but carefully crossed the wilderness diagonally.
Because according to the young man, we should go through the wilderness, who knows how many people are watching us!
We put the lantern here, if someone comes from a distance, they will look at the lantern and will not notice us, so we can sneak away in the dark.
There is a saying that there must be talents or geniuses among ten thousand people.
To be honest, this kind of talent or genius has little to do with the education they received, it is more of a gift.
Whether such a talent can grow up depends on whether he has the kind of "platform" that later generations call it, or whether he has the resources that can make him grow.
There is no doubt that the young man is such a talent. Who would have thought that his behavior, which was almost a prank to make himself feel safe, would cause so much confusion to those who came later.
Because the young man did not notice that the lantern was placed at a "Y"-shaped fork in the road. The vertical of the "Y" is the straight road leading to Shuiquan Town, and the two points on it are naturally different forks.
In fact, there are really people walking on the fork.
When Hou Kanshan led people to approach the "Y"-shaped fork from a road, they naturally saw the yellow light. He gave a low order and the dozens of soldiers behind him all squatted down.
So all of them stared at the yellow light.
Of course, they didn't know what the light was, but they knew that there would be a big battle in the Shuiquan Town area.
So in this originally dark night, the sudden appearance of a yellow light at the intersection seemed too abnormal!
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal, how dare they approach that light?
Due to the professional habits of the soldiers, all they could imagine in their minds was that when some of them approached the yellow light cautiously, they would be exposed to the sight of the enemies who might exist around them.
Then the sound of "bang" or "bang bang bang" of gunfire rang out in the darkness, and all those who approached the yellow light were shot.
Isn't this logic very normal? Any normal person would have such normal logic.
So the strange light blocked the way for Hou Kanshan and his men.
Hou Kanshan came to call the police to Shang Zhen.
As for the content of the call, Hou Kaishan himself would feel ashamed.
Because he didn't know the specific content of his call, he only found out the abnormality through the details.
When Hou Kanshan led people to meet Hu Lielie and the others, he just felt that he smelled blood, but a soldier tripped over a corpse on the road.
Even though Hou Kanshan was a veteran, and even though the people in Shang Zhenying were always very disciplined, the chaos and shock caused by being tripped by a dead person in the middle of the road can be imagined. It was almost a gunshot!
What shocked Hou Hanshan and his men even more was that they first found that the three people who died in the middle of the road were actually from the Northeast Army.
Under the circumstances at that time, they could not light a fire to illuminate, and a little firelight might attract shooting in the dark.
The reason why they were sure that the three people were from the Northeast Army was that they felt the familiar texture when they touched each other's clothes.
Then Hou Taishan could only signal the soldiers to drag the three dead people to the dark, and then use a lighter to watch, and then they were naturally more shocked, because the three people they saw were Hu Lielie, Shi Laosi and Shuangzi!
After being shocked, Hou Hanshan naturally wanted to find out the cause of death of these three people, and then he found that these three people were killed by box guns.
At this time, what danger could Hou Kanshan still care about? He led people back to the place where he found Hu Lielie and the other three.
He sent someone to guard in front and searched with a flashlight in the back, and then found a mess of footprints heading towards Shuiquan Town.
Hou Kanshan analyzed for a moment and sent someone to inform Chu Tian, while leading people to Shuiquan Town.
Just when they saw the lights of Shuiquan Town from afar, they also found the yellow light at the fork in the road ahead.
Now they can't distinguish between friend and foe. Do they dare to rush through? Of course not.
So now he can only wait and see.
What Hou Kanshan didn't know was that just when they started to watch the evening light, another group of people came behind them.
That group of people also found the light in front and squatted down, and they didn't dare to move forward.
Fortunately, this group of people was far away from Hou Kanshan and his men, and they didn't find the Northeast Army soldiers who were also hiding in the dark, and Hou Kanshan and his men were the same.
If that were the case, it would be fine. While the two groups were waiting, someone else came on another fork in the "Y"-shaped intersection. However, this group was larger, so Hou Kanshan and the group behind them heard the sound.
But when the larger group suddenly stopped and became silent, Hou Kanshan and his group, as well as the group behind them, were sure that the other party was definitely not an ordinary person!
So a strange scene happened. The three groups hid on the two forks in the "Y"-shaped intersection, looking at the yellow light in front of them, but no one dared to step forward.
