The news of catching the thugs spread widely.
And after that news was spread again and again, it really became a legend.
The so-called invisible is the scariest thing. In the end, the gang of murderers were almost transformed into Yang Erlang with three heads, six arms and a third eye on his head.
But legends are legends after all. More than half a month has passed, but there is no news at all about the group of murderers.
In this way, just as Hao Zhenglong doubted the military commander, other Northeastern Army also became suspicious of the military commander's news. In the end, the various departments of the Northeast Army finally withdrew the troops that had been sent to the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, but in the end only Two teams.
One group was naturally led by Chai Hongze.
He vowed to find evidence that the Northeast Army was collaborating with the Communists, so he naturally refused to withdraw his troops easily.
He has two trucks, and he also carries gasoline. He has no shortage of money to spend, so he can find out how much he can afford.
The other team is the special training team led by Hao Zhenglong.
Hao Zhenglong is not as rich as Chai Hongze's military commander, but according to Northeastern dialect, he is strong!
The team he led was originally a special training team.
That's because Ben has endured hardships. It doesn't matter if he can't catch anyone, but he regarded this operation as a field training for the special training team!
It doesn’t matter if they don’t have anything to eat, they have horses! Then Hao Zhenglong ordered a horse to be killed for food. Anyway, those people who always followed Chai Hongze.
After all, a carriage cannot outrun a truck.
But it doesn't matter, it snowed so much a while ago.
There are not that many trucks in China nowadays. Even on the border of northern Shaanxi, there are countless truck tracks. Hao Zhenglong asked the special training team to chase down the truck's wheel marks.
In the end, the two groups ran further and further north, crossing the 800-mile Qinchuan River and reaching the junction of the Hanzhong Plain and the northern mountainous area!
The reason why this happened was because Chai Hongze had indeed found traces of Shang Zhen and the others.
As luck would have it, the road they took just a few days ago was the same road Shang Zhen and the others took to escape.
Originally, when Chai Hongze arrived in that town, he just asked the Northeast Army soldiers at the entrance of the town if they had encountered any unusual situations.
And the soldier said that he met Shang Zhen and others in a carriage with about ten people sitting on the lintel.
Originally, this was nothing. It was normal for the Northeastern Army to patrol.
But when Chai Hongze arrived at the next village half an hour later, he heard from the people there that the man in the carriage did not stay overnight in that village.
Then this question arises. It’s almost dark, so why can’t those ten or so people live in a village? It is said that after leaving that village, you have to walk dozens of miles to find a village!
Shang Zhenguang thought that he couldn't get too close to other troops, but he forgot that it was against common sense not to stay overnight in the dark in the winter.
Chai Hongze discovered Shang Zhen's suspicions and started to chase them. Of course, whether he could catch up was one thing.
When Hao Zhenglong and his special training team followed Chai Hongze's clues, they also discovered the doubts, so they followed.
But when they reached the edge of the northern mountainous area, Chai Hongze did not dare to lead people further in. If he went further in, it would be entirely possible for him to run into the Red Army led by the Communist Party!
So where are Shang Zhen and the others now?
But they were walking westward little by little along the mountainous area in the northern part of the Hanzhong Plain!
You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder.
Since Shang Zhen and the others got the words out of the Northeast Army, they were the ones being arrested, so they naturally had to escape.
But the method used by Shang Zhen was still to advance in a roundabout way.
He and his people did not go to the northern mountains, but they went to the northeast.
According to military commander Chai Hongze's speculation, those students must have gone to northern Shaanxi to join the Communist Party, but he never expected that Shang Zhen's escape would be based on experience, but they ran in a different direction.
Shang Zhen's choice was undoubtedly the right one. As they went further and further, they never encountered the Northeast Army setting up traps everywhere to catch "gangsters" like them.
Shang Zhen and the others were poor now. Naturally, they were not as rich as other military commanders. They had almost eaten the food they brought, but Shang Zhen also killed the horse pulling the cart!
More than half a month had passed, and they felt that the wind had passed, so they headed west along the edge of the mountainous area as originally planned.
This walk lasts a day.
Fortunately, they are a group of people who are used to hardship.
Shang Zhen and the others have undergone special training, and their physical strength is even better than before.
Since those five students came here from Shenyang, they have passed through thousands of mountains and rivers. Although the journey is slower, it is still bearable.
Seeing that it was almost dusk, Shang Zhen began to look at the surrounding terrain. They needed to stay overnight.
In the end, Shang Zhen chose a hill in the flat snow.
The reason why the snow is flat is because it was originally water, but now it is frozen in winter, and it is covered with a thin layer of snow.
Shang Zhen and the others also need to drink water.
Finally, the group of them all went up to the woods on the hill. There were a lot of dead branches in the woods. At this time, Erhanzi put down a bag on his back.
He opened the bag, and inside the bag was a small iron stove, which they bought when they passed through a town.
In this world of ice and snow, we can't just eat frozen things all the time. We still need to start a fire.
"You guys hurry up and get some food while I walk around." Shang Zhen said.
"I'll go with you." Ma Erhuzi said. After he finished speaking, he threw his trap to Erhanzi but grabbed Erhanzi's rifle.
"Why did you change the gun?" Erhanzi asked dissatisfied.
"What if something happens, match the length." Ma Erhuzi walked away with Shang Zhen carrying the rifle.
"Wait, I'm going too!" At this time, a female voice rang, that was Leng Xiaozhi.
Everyone's eyes became strange. Shang Zhen turned his head and said nothing, turned around and continued walking.
This group of people has been eating, sleeping, and sleeping together for more than half a month.
Now everyone can see clearly that Chu Tian said that Leng Xiaozhi was his fiancée, but Leng Xiaozhi and Chu Tian were neither cold nor hot, so much so that the soldiers behind them all said that Chu Tian was a pick-pocket man—— One end is hot.
Shang Zhen and Leng Xiaozhi didn't deliberately talk to each other along the way, and it didn't seem like anything special in the eyes of others.
Since there is still a third party, Ma Erhuzi, following him, Leng Xiaozhi is not tired and is willing to follow Shang Zhen and the others around, so let's do it.
Shang Zhen walked in front, just observing the terrain around the hill, but Ma Erhuzi saw Leng Xiaozhi chasing after him and asked with concern: "You said you are a girl, and you are hanging out in the wild every day. Is it cold?"
"Cold." Leng Xiaozhi told the truth. She felt the temperature today and said, "I'm afraid it will be 20 degrees today."
"What's 20 degrees?" Ma Erhuzi didn't understand.
"Minus 20 degrees Celsius is how cold it is." Leng Xiaozhi explained.
Ma Erhuzi scratched his head. He still couldn't figure it out. Ma Erhuzi himself didn't know a few words. Naturally, he didn't know how many degrees below zero Celsius was.
After thinking about it for a moment, Ma Erhuzi asked again: "Cold, old cold, so cold, gá (gá) cold, ghost piya, which one are you talking about?"
Ma Erhuzi's statement immediately amused Leng Xiaozhi.
Leng Xiaozhi understood Ma Erhuzi's classification of Leng.
If you don’t have any culture, you naturally don’t know what a thermometer is, and you don’t know what minus degrees Celsius is. However, you can classify the degree of coldness based on your own subjective experience.
Leng Xiaozhi thought for a while and said: "Minus 20 degrees, which is between what you call cold and old cold. What our family calls ghost teeth is around minus 40 degrees."
"Oh", Ma Erhuzi nodded, and he understood better when Leng Xiaozhi said this.
Shang Zhen was still walking in front, not very fast. He was obviously afraid that Leng Xiaozhi would not be able to keep up if he walked too fast. However, he did not participate in the conversation. He still looked at the surrounding terrain.
Now they were going around this hill. When they were going around from the east to the west, Shang Zhen saw a hill not far ahead, so he walked towards that hill again.
"Brother Huzi, why does Ma Ganer call you Brother Huzi! I feel like you two have a very good relationship!" Leng Xiaozhi continued to talk to Ma Erhuzi from behind.
"Shang Zhen's third brother, Li Fushun, was my eldest brother, but he was killed in battle, so he has more connections than others." Ma Erhuzi explained.
Leng Xiaozhi responded and then said: "Brother Hu Zi, I will say something to Ma Gan'er later. You can't imitate others, just pretend you didn't listen!"
Ma Erhuzi glanced at Leng Xiaozhi. Seeing that Leng Xiaozhi's attitude was serious, he agreed.
In Ma Erhuzi's opinion, he and Shang Zhen did have an extra level of relationship than others, so since Leng Xiaozhi had something to say to Shang Zhen that he wanted to keep secret, then he should keep it a secret.
Thinking of this, Ma Erhuzi slowed down. People make progress after all. He didn't want to know what Leng Xiaozhi would say to Shang Zhenzhe.
