"Mom, mom..." Suddenly a little boy in ragged clothes appeared at the entrance of the village crying.
"I want my mother..." the little boy cried, feeling helpless.
The lonely figure seemed to be the only one left in the world.
Lu Ming, who was about to sit on the back seat of the Big and Small Fruit Erjiu Dabang, stopped.
Miao Hongmei's armed team members were all rough men, and Miao Hongmei had a similar personality. Obviously, there was nothing she could do to this little boy.
A team member walked over and called to the little boy to stop crying, then took his hand and walked towards the village.
The little boy was so frightened that he covered his mouth with one hand, but the tears fell faster and faster. He walked towards the village obediently, but still looked around, as if hoping that his loving mother would suddenly appear, and he could throw himself into her warm embrace and cry loudly.
.
Miao Hongmei looked at it from a distance and sighed softly: "He is an orphan. He was hiding in the cellar without being discovered. His mother should have been taken away. His father's body was on the cellar cover. Before he died, he looked at the blood marks and endured the drama.
Pain climbed up to the cellar to protect the child from being discovered."
Lu Ming stood quietly, watching the little boy's back gradually disappear into the village.
I didn't enter the village because I didn't want to see too many tragic scenes.
Suddenly there was a slight movement in his heart, "You guys, come..." Lu Ming waved to Big and Small Guo.
Originally, Big Fruit and Big Fruit were already preparing to get on the bicycle, and they would take turns pedaling. The one who took a break would sit on the front of the bicycle, while the owner would sit on the back seat.
At this time, everyone came down to Lu Ming's side and listened to Lu Ming's whisper.
At first, both Da Guo nodded, but then waited for Lu Ming to continue.
"No!" For the first time, both Daguo and Daguo said in unison, firmly disagreeing with their master's order.
Lu Ming first asked, what happened last night and it didn't rain or anything, is there still a chance to track the bandits who escaped into the mountains through traces? After all, they also brought captured women and children, so there should be a lot of traces left, you two
You're a little girl, can you follow me?
They both nodded and said yes.
Lu Ming then asked the two of them to lead the way and he would lead the armed forces here into the mountains to suppress the bandits.
The two little girls immediately shook their little heads like rattles.
Lu Ming understood that the two of them did not want to be involved in danger themselves, so it was useless to explain to them that time was precious and that the sooner they left, the less humiliation and danger the captured women and children would suffer.
"I must go. If you don't lead the way, I will lead people into the mountains and wander around." Lu Ming looked serious, "Do you still dare to tie me up?" Grandma Tuolong was helping her with errands in the county town, and these two little girls were still there.
Easy to deal with.
The two little girls looked at each other and bowed together, "I don't dare, slaves." They murmured softly, "The master is like a giant dragon in the eyes of the slaves. Even if the slaves are slightly offended, they will be shattered to pieces...
"
Lu Ming didn't have time to think about the meaning of their words at this moment, so he softened his tone and said, "Liu Taisui's gang has just emerged. I think they have just gathered together. There won't be too many people. According to the report, only two or three hundred people entered the village. I'm afraid
Yes, there is some moisture. When people are frightened and panicked, they will always imagine things that frighten them to be more terrifying. The villagers who saw the gang were all frightened."
"So, the combat effectiveness of our pistol platoon should be able to deal with this gang. Moreover, you two are leading the way. If you can find the traces of the gang first and the gang can't find you two, if they have more people and stronger firepower, I will definitely give the order.
Come back quietly instead of fighting them forcefully."
"Okay, having said that, if you don't lead the way, I will ask them to go into the mountains together and search for traces of gangs!"
Lu Ming then waved to Jia Kui and Miao Hongmei to come over.
"Master can leave a few capable men to send him back to the county town, and the two servants will take the rest to suppress the bandits!" Big and small Guo looked at each other, telepathically speaking, and said in unison.
"You often whisper that you are stronger near me, is it true?" Lu Ming asked.
Big and small fruits nodded their heads together, "But..."
"Needless to say!" Lu Ming waved his hand and said to Jia Kui and Miao Hongmei who were approaching: "Assemble the team, let's go into the mountains to find Liu Taisui's gang!"
Jia Kui was startled, while Miao Hongmei opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Sir's guards are well-armed. I judge that Liu Taisui's gang has just gathered together. There are not many people in it, and they are scattered. Because he is the county governor, and they gathered nothing more than the former
If there is a surprise attack, the officer's guard, the county office clerk and his nursing home can completely defeat them. But we have no idea about the situation in the mountains. We are afraid that we will be ambushed after entering. The gangsters also have the same idea.
Don’t let them get together and make dumplings by using the method of communicating with each other through sharing the same spirit!”
Lu Ming smiled at her: "I'm 80% sure that I can find Liu Taisui's lair and raid it."
Miao Hongmei immediately geared up, "Sir, I'll go and gather together!" She didn't think that such a senior officer could deceive her about war preparations.
Jia Kui also nodded slightly, took out a small Browning-like pistol from his arms, loaded the bullet with great skill, and at the same time called Captain Zhao to come over.
Lu Ming smiled at Da Guo: "You guys should also get ready and change your clothes."
…
In the dense forest, a team of more than a hundred people walked quietly. They all followed Commissioner Zhang's suggestion and made straw hats with branches and green leaves and put them on their heads.
Two to three hundred meters ahead, Xiao Guo's figure was looming. If she couldn't see it, she would quickly retreat.
Sometimes she would stop again, and the group would stop for a short break.
In fact, Daguo was two or three miles ahead, and he had a very high-power telescope that the bandits in the northern region could not have.
In this way, it can be guaranteed that the gang's sentry post will be discovered by Daguo and eliminated immediately before he notices this team of more than a hundred people.
Small fruit ensures that no trace of the big fruit is lost.
There is a mysterious way of contact between the two. If Da Guo sees something, Xiao Guo will truthfully report it to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming didn't think anything of it at first, because in his previous life, it was a very simple thing that two ordinary people could do if they had mobile phones.
But when I thought about it carefully later, I couldn't help but marvel. I wonder what abilities this big and small fruit has that I don't know about.
"Have a rest for a while." Dauguo sat on a dead tree in front and waited. When the team arrived, she came to Lu Ming and whispered, and Lu Ming made a gesture, asking everyone to rest.
"Eat something, don't go hungry, and be strong. We should be getting closer to Liu Taisui's lair."
Lu Ming didn't feel tired at all, but it was sweltering in the forest and some soldiers were already sweating profusely.
Lu Ming sat on the dead wood where Xiao Guo had just sat. Xiao Guo handed over the beef jerky. Lu Ming took it. Although it tasted like wax, he still stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.
Jia Kui and Miao Hongmei came to Lu Ming. Both of them had questions in their heads. They had no idea what the little orderly who was following this commissioner was doing.
"At the front, we have a few agile scouts." Lu Ming smiled at them.
Although Jia Kui and Miao Hongmei were still puzzled, they thought they were Commissioner Zhang's secret spies, so they both nodded, "Yes."
