Chapter 53 Chapter Forty-ninth Suppression of Bandits

"Cuckoo cluck... cluck cluck" A string of crisp cuckoo calls came from the hill west of the town.Mu Liangfeng didn't pay much attention at first, there were many birds on the mountain, and the chirping of birds was quite normal.But after a while, Mu Liangfeng felt that something was wrong, this cuckoo usually only calls at the turn of winter and summer, it's winter, so where is the cuckoo? "Ready to fight!" He yelled softly, and the brothers of Quanlian immediately stood up, and the bullets were loaded. "Company commander, are you a little too nervous?" Xiao Wu didn't care about Mu Liangfeng's official authority at all: "The sentinel didn't notice any movement, there is no possibility of an enemy at all!"

"You know what!" Mengzi glared at Xiao Wu, he believed in Mu Liangfeng, he looked at Mu Liangfeng: "What did you find out?" Mu Liangfeng held his breath: "Did you hear anything?" Everyone raised their ears and listened for a long time, but they didn't feel anything unusual. "Listen carefully!" "Bird calls!" Finally someone heard it. Most of the soldiers were rural soldiers, and they heard the clues after a while: "Damn it, where are the cuckoos coming from in this horrible weather?" "That's right! If it was in our hometown in Shaoyang, it must be snowing heavily now." Xiao Wu also felt strange.At this moment, not far from the dense forest where they ambush, there was also a cuckoo's response.

"It must be bandits!" Mu Liangfeng said, "This gang of bandits is really cunning. They are afraid of an ambush, so they split into the town from different directions!" "Company commander, what should we do?" Everyone stared at Mu Liangfeng. Mu Liangfeng thought for a while and said, "We can't do it now, and we can't fight in the town unless it is absolutely necessary. The best way is to wait for them to fall asleep before we do it, so that we can catch them all." "Company commander, what if the bandits kill and set fire to the town if they enter the town?" Agui asked anxiously.

Mu Liangfeng looked at this recruit, he blocked himself with a knife in the shoulder, and the wound was still not healed, Mu Liangfeng originally refused to let him come, but he couldn't bear to insist on coming. "Let's do this! Later, Xiao Wu will bring a few people into the town in ordinary clothes. If the bandits dare to kill and set fire in the town, we will attack by force. Otherwise, we'll wait until they fall asleep." Everyone nods.Time passed by, and there was still nothing unusual in the town.Xiao Wu took off his military uniform, changed into common people's clothes with a few veterans, and went out of the woods with a pistol each, and sneaked into the town quietly.

The people in the mountains went to bed early after dinner, and every house was closed, and there was no one in the town.Xiao Wu lightly knocked on the door of a shop facing the street. "Who is it?" A middle-aged man reluctantly opened the door and poked his head out.Seeing a few unfamiliar burly men, he became nervous: "You... who are you? What are you doing?" "Don't be afraid, folks, we are the national army." Xiao Wu said, "Have you seen people with guns enter the town?" When the fellow heard that it was the national army and was carrying a gun, he was frightened for a moment, and waved his hand quickly: "No... I didn't see anyone with a gun."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Xiao Wu smiled and closed the door for him. "Brothers, spread out, look for each household." Xiao Wu waved his hand, and several soldiers dispersed.There is the only inn in the town in front of it. This inn is not small. It is a two-story wooden building with a wall more than two meters high outside. There is a gray lantern hanging on the gate outside the inn: " North and South Inn". Xiao Wu walked forward quietly, and before he reached the door, a cold gun barrel pressed against his back: "Don't fucking move, I'll kill you if you move."

"Unlucky!" Xiao Wu groaned, and ran into a bandit's secret whistle.Fortunately, this guy is naturally clever. When he turned around and saw the bandits in military uniform, he simply sat down on the ground, pretending to be panic-stricken and speaking "local dialect". The bandits all came from Fenglingdu, so of course they couldn't understand Xiao Wu Xiao Wu’s panic-stricken look doesn’t look like a soldier. In fact, what Xiao Wu can speak in Guangxi dialect is just a quick wit. He guessed that the bandits would not understand it, so he made it up temporarily. .The bandit's dark whistle was really fooled, and he really thought he was a local citizen, so he kicked him and put away his gun.

Xiao Wu's eyes quickly scanned the surrounding area, but he didn't find any other secret whistle. He was sitting on the ground, so he took advantage of the opportunity to "sweep the chest" and put the bandit's secret whistle on the ground. Before the bandit could react, the pistol had already on his head. "If you don't want to die, you'd better keep quiet." The bandit secretly saw that he had been fooled, and regretted that he would definitely kill himself if he resisted, so he nodded.Xiao Wu's brothers noticed the situation here and moved closer.Several people dragged the bandit under a big tree at the back of the street.

"Where is your brigade? Where is Tiger Zhao?" Xiao Wu asked him softly. The bandit shook his head. Xiao Wu was not in the mood to talk nonsense with him. Seeing that this kid didn't buy his way, he covered his mouth with one hand, and pulled out a sharp dagger with the other hand: "I will send you on your way now!" The bandit As soon as it seemed real, he panicked and struggled desperately. "I'll give you one last chance, will you say it?" The bandit nodded desperately. Only then did Xiao Wu let go of his hand: "Say it quickly, I don't have time to mess with you."
