Chapter 33 [Huangkouzi] (Part 2)

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Luo Lie went out and came outside. He saw Chang still sitting in front of the bonfire. The footsteps were extremely clear when he stepped on the snow in the quiet night. Chang turned his head alertly. When he saw that it was Luo Lie, he felt relieved and slowly pulled out his right hand from his arms. There was a pistol hidden in his arms.

Luo Lie smiled and said, "Brother Chang, you will go and rest, I'll guard here."

Chang nodded, lifted his clothes, pulled out a Mauser 1896 from his waist and handed it to Luo Lie. Luo Lie did not reach out to pick it up, and whispered: "I don't need a gun."

I often have to take the pistol back.

Luo Lie reminded him: "Please hold it away, don't let Xu Laogen see it." They came out and brought a lot of weapons, but these weapons should not be easily exposed to people.

I always say, "Don't worry, be careful by yourself. Just call me if you have any questions."

Luo Lie smiled and said, "Go quickly!"

After Chang left, Luo Lie watched the pair of bonfires alone. The deep mountains and snow valleys were silent and the sound of breaking branches was so thrilling. Looking at the beating bonfire, a beautiful phantom appeared in Luo Lie's eyes. He closed his eyes in pain. At this moment, he heard the sound of footsteps stepping on the snow in the distance. Luo Lie turned around and saw a figure wearing a bloated cotton suit walking towards him. From his walking posture, he could tell that it was a sparrow.

The sparrow came near and saw that she was holding a blanket in her hand and handed it to Luo Lie: "It's cold tonight, you put it on!"

Luo Lie said: "Why haven't you been asleep yet?"

Rabbit did not answer his question, but put the blanket on his shoulder and sat down beside him. Feeling his shoulders sinking, Luo Lie put the blanket on her body again. Sparbit blinked his eyes, Luo Lie gently patted her shoulder, signaling her not to push, and said softly: "I'm not cold."

The sparrow looked at Luo Lie with a little heart and said, "You have a bad face. You should pay more attention to your health. Why not keep it, go to bed?"

Luo Lie shook his head and said, "I can't sleep."

The sparrow asked carefully: "Do you have insomnia?"

Luo Lie smiled unquestionably and nodded after a while: "I have been sleeping poorly since I came back from the United States. Recently, I may not be used to the cold weather in Manchuria, so it has become a little serious."

Sparrow said: "Then you need to rest, you can't always hold on. Otherwise, you should drink some wine, which should help you sleep."

Luo Lie broke a branch and threw it into the bonfire: "Although I can't sleep, it has no effect on my body. I have tried drinking, but the more I drink, I feel more awake, and I have a headache when I drink too much, and I can't sleep." He paused and said: "Actually, it's not a bad thing. Although I slept less, I woke up more and lived for more than one day, which means that others have lived for two days."

Sparrow said: "If it really doesn't work, take some sleeping pills."

Luo Liedao: "It's not that serious yet."

Sparrow said: "I heard that insomnia is caused by setbacks or stimulation. Do you have any worries? If possible, I am willing to listen to you." She always felt that Luo Lie was a person with a story and showed considerable interest in his affairs.

Luo Lie laughed and stood up: "Wait for me for a while, I'll go around and take a look."

The sparrow nodded and looked at Luo Lie's back as he was away. A layer of mist was covered in his beautiful eyes. Luo Lie's departure was obviously escaping. I don't know what kind of pain was buried in his heart. Although he was optimistic outside, the sparrow always felt that there was unknown pain hidden in his deep eyes.

When Luo Lie held up the torch and approached the wooden house where Xu Laogen was, he found that the sled at the door was gone. He couldn't help but be shocked. He walked around the wooden house for a while, but no traces of yellow dogs or sleds were found. Behind the wooden house, there was a trace of a sled being dragged. Luo Lie secretly screamed, so he came to the door of the wooden house, gently pushed the door and opened it. The room was pitch black, and the light of the torch illuminated the room, but he saw that the room was empty, and Xu Laogen had already left the building empty.

Luo Lie was very shocked and began to blame himself. He was obviously out of shape because of insomnia these two days. In fact, at the beginning of the itinerary, he realized that Xu Laogen's eyes were a little strange, but he was still careless and was too careless about Xu Laogen. He thought that since the conditions were agreed, there was no need to worry about other things. Money could make the devil push the mill, but he did not expect Xu Laogen to escape halfway. Luo Lie suddenly felt a headache. He covered his forehead and reminded himself to calm down. He was elected as the leader of this team and had to take on the responsibility of leading all members of the team to complete the tasks and ensure that everyone returns safely. He should not be confused.

Luo Lie's eyes were on the bonfire. Although they were far apart, the sparrow was always paying attention to him and his eyes were also looking at him.

Luo Lie flashed back to the scene of Xu Laogen raising a bonfire. He had an inappropriate idea at that time, but he finally denied it. Now it seems that everything is probably Xu Laogen is planning. Luo Lie can be sure that Xu Laogen is not giving up halfway because he is afraid of the dangers of the future. Even if he wants to leave, he will not choose to leave quietly in the middle of the night.

Luo Liexun ran towards the sparrow, waved to her, and signaled the sparrow to leave the bonfire. In the dark night, the bonfire has become the most prominent target. If someone comes to ambush them, the first one will be the person responsible for watching the bonfire.

The sparrow had not figured out what happened, but when he saw Luo Lie's actions, he felt an inexplicable crisis and stood up and walked towards him.

She left her front foot, and a feather arrow broke through the night and shot at the position where she was just now. The tip of the arrow penetrated deep into the frozen soil, and the black tail feather trembled constantly under the guidance of the arrow shaft.

The sparrow rushed forward with all its might, entering the shadow of the trees in front of them, and snatched it! Another feather arrow shot into the tree. The ice chips and cracked bark were stirred up by the arrow and flew everywhere. The sparrow hid behind the trunk, and the snow light shone white in the pretty face, and his eyes were still in shock.

Luo Lie rushed towards the sparrow at an astonishing degree, and shouted, "There is an ambush!" The reason why he shouted loudly was to attract the attention of the archers, and to remind the three companions who were still sleeping soundly in the wooden house.

Swhoo! Swhoo! Swhoo! Three arrows chased Luo Lie's figure in a row, but Luo Lie ran too fast, and he kept changing directions while running, using the surrounding trees and buildings as a cover. All three feather arrows did not hit the target, one followed by the other on the snow behind Luo Lie.

While Luo Lie attracted the attention of the other party, the sparrow had successfully hidden behind the wooden house. He pulled out the Ruger Po8 pistol and shot continuously at the position where the shooter might be hiding. The crisp gunshots broke the silent night. While covering Luo Lie, they also woke up the three people who were still sleeping soundly in the wooden house.

Chang just fell asleep. When Luo Lie issued the first warning, he had already heard that Yi Gu Lu climbed up from the bed, took out the two Mauser under the pillow, and wanted to go out to answer. As soon as he opened the door, a feather arrow roared and shot over, and Chang hurriedly retreated back into the room. The feather arrow snatched the sound of the feather arrow and nailed it to the door panel. The arrow was so powerful that it shot through the door panel, and exposed it against Chang's left ear. As long as it was slightly higher than the right, Chang would have life worries.

The blind man and Arnold slept in the same wooden house. The gunshots completely dispelled their drunkenness. The two were busy touching the guns. Arnold said: "There are still bonfires outside, and the enemy is dark and we will be bright. If we go out, we will become living targets." After all, he is from the Royal Air Force, and his military literacy and practical experience are far better than the blind.

The blind man said, "What should I do?"

Arnold thrust into the window behind, walked over and opened it, preparing to quietly flip out of the window through the night concealment, but as soon as the window was opened, a feather arrow shot. Arnold subconsciously lowered his body, and the feather arrow flew out close to his scalp, scaring Arnold so much that he sat on the ground.

At the same time, several rockets were shot out from the woods. This time the target was not aimed at people, but at wooden houses. Such a large target would not be missed. The wooden house was burning when it encountered fire. Although the entire room would not be burned in a short time, these fires played a illuminating role. The burning fire points everywhere exposed the wooden house to the light, and made it more difficult for Luo Lie and his friends to hide. The accompanying mounts were terrified and neighed because of the fire. Soon these horses became the targets of archers. Feather arrows flew together, and five mounts were shot and died on the spot.
