Chapter 7 Chapter 7 tearing through the fog and seeing the iceberg

"There is a small place in Liucheng County called Dragon Boat Mountain. It is a very aura of geomantic omen. A stone mountain rises from the ground and looks exactly like a dragon boat racing. There is a small village at the foot of the mountain..." "Team Leader Zhang, you, you understand this..." Su Zitong finally understood, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "Don't be afraid, this is the normal procedure for our military command to develop new recruits. The organization will not casually recruit someone without roots. Company Commander Su, your two babies are very cute, they look exactly like you." Zhang Zui said with ulterior motives smiled.

It was late at night, and all kinds of shops in the street market closed one after another, and the stewed vegetables stalls were quietly put on the night market.Braised vegetables are special snacks with a history of more than 300 years in Jiangnan City. They were once a tribute to the imperial palace and have always been favored by "night owls". "Rotten copper, rotten iron, waste paper, old books and newspapers..." The silent night sky was suddenly pierced by shouts, and a short man carried a load of baskets across the market like a ghost... The short man walked through the streets and alleys, and finally stopped at the gate of "Yunni Silk Village". Then he yelled again.

The silk shop was closed, but the lights were still on upstairs. Hearing the yelling, he poked his head out of the window, "It's getting late today, come back tomorrow." "I can't come tomorrow. Tonight is just the time. During the day, you are busy with business. I deliberately chose this time to come." The man said. The door opened, Xiao Ma let the man into the house, looked around to make sure there was nothing outside, and then closed the door tightly. The short man put down the basket and went straight to the bedroom in the backyard, where Luo Su was waiting for him.

"Comrade Zhong Hualai, thank you for your hard work!" Luo Su said, holding the man's hands tightly. "You are welcome, everyone has worked hard." Zhong Hualai took out a stack of "Spring Voice" from his arms and put it on the table, saying, "Lao Luo, this is a newly published newspaper. The superior hopes to send it out as soon as possible." "Please don't worry about the organization, we must find a solution as soon as possible." Zhong Hualai added: "About Su Zitong, Comrade Baochunniao said that this person is not very strong-willed. After being tortured several times by Zhang Zui, he was recruited because of the influence of "Spring Voice". The channel was discovered by the enemy."

"It's understandable. He's not a member of the Communist Party. We can't hold him to high standards." Luo Su said, pouring Zhong Hualai a cup of tea. "I think so too. I think he is the most suitable candidate to publish "Spring Voice." Zhong Hualai said after taking a few sips of tea. "He was tortured for this matter. From an emotional point of view, he should hate the spies even more. That's it. I will immediately notify Jiang Fangxiang to try Su Zitong." Luo Su made a decision. During this period of time, Su Zitong didn't know what kind of bad luck he had encountered. First, he was hanged and beaten for no reason, then he provoked Zhang Zui, a living ghost, to haunt him, and now Jiang Fangxiang fell in love with him again.

Recalling Jiang Fangxiang's words and deeds, it doesn't look like a spy sent by Zhang Zui to test him, and it doesn't look like a joke.Could he really be a Communist?Su Zitong put a series of question marks in his heart. Once, how much he longed to see the Communist Party.Now, when the Communist Party really appeared beside him, he hesitated again, and even became afraid... He felt that he was repeating the farce of "Ye Gong Loves the Dragon", and it was Zhang Zui, the living ghost, who turned him into Ye Gong! Thinking of Zhang Zui, besides being afraid, he was still afraid.Apart from his viciousness and viciousness, his horror is also like a ghost, which is everywhere and everywhere. He knows his every move like the back of his hand, leaving him nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide... He has a premonition that once he gets along with Zhang Zui would definitely know about the contact with the Communist Party.After thinking about it, he really hoped that Jiang Fangxiang would not come to him again.

Su Zitong tossed and turned on the bed until after midnight, and then slowly fell asleep... When the reveille sounded, Su Zitong found himself very tired and wanted to continue to sleep.As a company commander, daily morning training is indispensable. All officers and soldiers of the company have assembled on the playground, waiting for his instructions. Su Zitong gritted his teeth and got up, put on his military uniform and fastened his armed belt, opened the door, and a piece of paper fell on the ground—he didn't have time to think about it, picked up the paper and put it in his pocket, then went straight to the playground and started his day. military life...

In the evening, Su Zitong went back to the room, wanting to go to bed early, suddenly remembered the note in his pocket, took it out and opened it, he was shocked—— "Company Commander Su, see you at the old local teahouse tonight. July Bee." He shivered, and felt a cold current rise from the soles of his feet and hit his forehead... He sighed in his heart: This evil ghost, he remembered me again... Zhang Zui made an appointment, Su Zitong didn't dare to disobey, he greeted Bai Qiming and hurried to the old local teahouse on Shuyuan Road.Although he urged the coachman to speed up again and again, it was still too late.He nervously pushed open the door of the private room of "One Family", Zhang Zui was already sitting inside with an unhappy expression on his face.

"You came so late, where have you been?" Zhang Zui blamed. "I saw the note very late..." Su Zitong said timidly. "You can see my note as long as you open the door. Could it be that you have been sleeping all day?" Zhang Zui asked with a frown. "No, no, I picked up the note early in the morning, and I was too busy to catch up with the morning training, so I put it in my pocket and gave it, here it is...forgot." Su Zitong's voice was a little trembling. "Look, you are nervous, relax a little, how can you do secret work like this!" Zhang Zui tried his best to smile, trying to make the atmosphere more relaxed, "Company Commander Su, how do you think about what I told you? "

"Team Leader Zhang, I...may not be able to do this job." Su Zitong became nervous again.The buttocks that had just sat down were raised again. "Tell me the reason." Zhang Zui stared at Su Zitong. "I am timid, my will is not firm, and I am afraid of being beaten..." "Is that the reason? Any more?" "No more." Su Zitong sat down again. "These are not important. The job I asked you to do is to monitor the people around you. It is not dangerous at all. No one will arrest you and torture you." Zhang Zui coughed dryly, "I don't need to listen to too much, as long as you Give a clear attitude, to do or not to do it, just two words."

"Don't do it." Su Zitong had the courage to finally say what was in his heart. "Have you thought it through?" Zhang Zui asked again. "Think clearly." Su Zitong replied very simply. "You won't regret it?" Zhang Zui asked again. "I won't regret it." Su Zitong replied without hesitation. "Very good." Zhang Zui breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Su Zitong with a smile, and said after a while, "Does Company Commander Su know Liucheng, Guangxi?" "I know." "It's a very beautiful place, with citrus and eucalyptus trees growing everywhere." "Team leader, have you been to Liucheng?" Su Zitong asked, but he was guessing Zhang Zui's intention in saying these words. "There is a small place in Liucheng County called Dragon Boat Mountain. It is a very aura of geomantic omen. A stone mountain rises from the ground and looks like a dragon boat racing. There is a small village at the foot of the mountain. There is a couple in the village. They worked hard to cultivate dozens of acres of land, and lived a good life. They even sent their son to study. I'm old, and I'm enjoying the family happiness of having grandchildren..." "Team Leader Zhang, you, you understand this..." Su Zitong finally understood, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "Don't be afraid, this is the normal procedure for our military command to develop new recruits. The organization will not casually recruit someone without roots. Company Commander Su, your two babies are very cute, they look exactly like you." Zhang Zui said with ulterior motives smiled. "You, don't treat my family..." Su Zitong's heartbeat increased. "We won't do anything to your family members. If you join the military command organization, your relatives are the relatives of the organization, and we will protect them. Of course, if someone is bold and reckless and doesn't listen to the organization, or doesn't know how to praise, the organization's It's a different story if you don't appreciate it!" Zhang Zui stared at Su Zitong with a fierce look in his eyes. "I... I am willing to join..." Su Zitong finally succumbed to Zhang Zui's lust. "That's right." Zhang Zui regained his amiable expression, "According to the organization's regulations, new recruits have to go through an inspection process. Comrade Su Zitong, congratulations on becoming a reserve member of the military organization. I hope you will work hard and make achievements. Strive to become a regular as soon as possible. If you have any requirements, you can put them forward to the organization." One of Zhang Zui's hands crossed the coffee table and stretched out in front of Su Zitong. Su Zitong mechanically held Zhang Zui's hand, and it took him a long time before he answered bluntly: "I have no requirements for the organization." "Very well, the organization needs a good comrade like you who only cares about dedication and doesn't expect anything in return," Zhang Zui paused, and said, "However, the organization still has some requirements for you. Briefly speaking, there are the following points: 1. 1. Be loyal to the organization and never betray; 2. Strictly keep secrets, and not reveal a single word of what should not be said; 3. Do not hide anything from the organization, including your privacy. Do you remember these points?" "Remember." Su Zitong nodded. "Among these points, 'strictly keeping secrets' is particularly important, because what we are engaged in is secret work. From now on, you and I will have one-line contact, and you can only tell me if there is a situation. In other words, in the entire Jiangnan City, I am the only one Knowing that you are a member of the organization, apart from me, Nanjing also knows. This is not only to keep secrets, but also to ensure your safety." "If there is something, how can I find you?" Su Zitong finally took the initiative to ask. "Under normal circumstances, you don't come to me, I will find you. If you have sudden important information, I will give you a contact method, and you follow it, and I will rush to the appointment in the shortest possible time Location—remember, this place is the fixed place for our date." Zhang Zui said and handed over a ball of paper, and warned, "You can only open it in the safest place. Is there anything unusual around you recently?" "No." Su Zitong shook his head. "I heard that someone came to you last night?" "Yes, yes. I forgot to report. A staff officer named Jiang Fangxiang approached me last night, and he said he knew where the real Communist Party was." Zhang Zui's eyes lit up, and he said, "Whoever talks about right and wrong is right and wrong. I think it is very likely that he is the Communist Party." "I think so too. It seems that he still wants to develop me." "Great!" Zhang Zui showed surprise, "If you can break into the CCP's underground party organization, you will make a great contribution! Well, very well, he will still find you, you must behave You have to turn red." Zhang Zui reminded. "He paid attention to me because of the redness of my speech before." "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't miss it, I'm waiting to hear your good news. Very good, today is a great harvest!" Zhang Zui raised his hand and glanced at his watch, "It's getting late, let's talk about this , you go first—from now on, we will not be together in any place other than meeting." Su Zitong walked out of the teahouse and looked back at the signboard under the light. The words "Old Place Teahouse" were very eye-catching. Back in the camp area, the officers and soldiers had already gone to bed, and the barracks was silent.He went to check the sentry points first, and then went back to his room to rest. Turn on the light, close the doors and windows, and take out the ball of paper given to him by Zhang Zui from his pocket. After opening it, it says: I have an urgent appointment, please put a note on the door of the room, "Going out on business. Company Commander Tong." Su Zitong burned the note and thought to himself: As long as I stick the note on the door, Zhang Zui will know soon. From this, it can be seen that there are military spies by my side. No wonder Staff Jiang came here last night. Zhang Zui We all know that it would be terrible not to join their organization!Thinking of this, Su Zitong shuddered. Suddenly, someone called the door outside.Su Zitong discerned carefully, it turned out to be Jiang Fangxiang's voice. "Is Company Commander Su back?" "It's me, is Staff Jiang okay?" Su Zitong put on the clothes he had just taken off and opened the door. "Company Commander Su is out again?" Jiang Fangxiang closed the door behind him when he entered the room. "I have a bad throat. I went to the Health Hall to buy some medicine. Didn't Deputy Company Commander Bai report to you?" "He told me. It's nothing. I passed by and saw that the light in your room was on and came to see. Is your throat better?" Jiang Fangxiang asked with concern. "Take a few pills and feel much better. Staff Jiang, sit down." Su Zitong moved a chair and sat on the edge of the bed by himself. "Have you considered what I told you?" Jiang Fangxiang asked. "Hush——" Su Zitong pretended not to make any noise, opened the door and looked outside for a while, and then gently closed the door, "Staff Jiang, to tell you the truth, in this situation, who doesn't consider their own way of retreat? But don't forget , the closer it is to the dawn, the darker it is—it’s not that I don’t believe you, do I dare?” "I fully understand your concerns. You don't need to believe me, but you will believe in one thing." Jiang Fangxiang took out a bag of things from his arms as he spoke. "What is this?" Su Zitong's heartbeat increased. "The "Spring Voice", just published by the Jiangnan Underground Party." Jiang Fangxiang looked at Su Zitong with a somewhat smug expression on his face.
