５
When Ah Tao returned home last night, it was almost midnight. According to their usual habits, some people were already asleep, while others were preparing to sleep. However, at the moment, many people were still busy visiting. The reason was that the 17 people and 16 horses that went to Boss Mo's house on Golden Dragon Street to load the goods had not returned yet. No one knew what had happened. The 16 families were extremely anxious and had to visit each other to inquire about or exchange information. Ah Tao walked into his house and found that almost all the 15 families were gathered here. The house was full of people.
Oh! Ah Tao is back!
Someone noticed Ah Tao first and shouted loudly. With this shout, everyone stood up and surrounded Ah Tao in the central room. They asked at once,
Why did they only come back now? Where were they?
What exactly happened?
You came back alone. Where are the others? And the horses?
Ah Tao was almost stunned by the question and did not know who to answer.
Say something! Everyone was quite anxious! Ah Ma said as she nudged Ah Tao.
I'm so thirsty! After a long time, Ah Tao finally spoke. Yi Shen hurriedly scooped a ladle of cold water and handed it to him. Ah Tao gulped down two big gulps before telling him about Mo Rongting and Shi Shiguang, along with Maraf. He also said that they would spend the night at Boss Mo's house with their horses. Whoever was unwilling would have their house raided…
At this moment, people's hearts relaxed a little. However, almost all of them sighed and dragged their heavy steps home with gloomy faces.
Why did he only come back at this time? Everyone was extremely anxious. After the adults left, Yi Shen walked to Ah Tao's side and looked at his face.
I should have returned earlier. Ah Tao explained,"However, Abba thinks that Shi Shiguang's luggage is not an ordinary department store. It is very likely to be a cannon and other firearms. It is very likely to attack the guerrilla base." He should immediately report to the guerrilla detachment and tell them to prepare for resistance. Boss Mo is keeping a close eye on him, and Abba can't get away, so I have to go myself.
You came to the base of Wulian Village?
Isn't that so?
Going alone?
Of course. On the way there, I thought of you. I thought: If you go to Golden Dragon to load goods, you must go with me, how good would that be!
Is that so?
At the base, I saw Third Brother-in-law. He made dinner for me, so I reported the situation to the captain. The captain said that they had already grasped this information and were fully prepared. It seemed like a battle was about to break out. He wanted me to send a letter to Huang You, asking him to send reinforcements to Changtian Ridge. He also sent some people to stall Nong Shangli's village militia as much as possible, not allowing them to reinforce Shi Shiguang. I still have to give the letter to Uncle Bi Yihua later.
Then, I'll go too!
Alright then!
Uncle Shuyi Hua's house and Ah Tao's house were close neighbors, separated by a sewer. In a short while, the two of them completed their mission. On the way back, Yi Shen said,"Tomorrow's war will definitely be good. Let's go and watch the fun, okay?"
Tsk! You wish! How could a war be like watching outsiders play monkey tricks? The bullets didn't recognize people, so it was dangerous! I think I will monitor Huang You tomorrow and see if he sends people to Changtian Ridge in Nongchutun to reinforce the guerrilla detachment. They could also see if he had sent people to shoot at Nongchangtun to stall Nong Shangli's villagers. Changtian Ridge was far away, so we couldn't go there. Nongchangtun was close, so the two of us quietly followed behind them to see what they did, just like how we followed the three robbers a few days ago. What do you think?
That was good too! Anyway, it was good to be able to work for the guerrilla detachment!
Good! Go home and sleep now. I have to get up early tomorrow morning! Besides, if your Sister Yi Xiao can't come back tonight, your mother will miss you even more!
Alright! But how are you going to inform me tomorrow morning? If you call me, it might be too loud. It's not good.
Just wake up a little. Or, take a small rope, tie one end of your fingers, and tie the other end to the window beside your bed. When the time comes, I'll pull you gently and you'll wake up. Alright?
Alright!
Sigh! The guerrilla detachment knows that we followed the three robbers. The captain of the agricultural team specially praised us and said that we were good!
Ah! Was that so?
