Towns like Taoyuan Town are different from county towns. They do not have uniform walls. At the outermost part of the town, the back wall of the house is used as the wall.

Wang Shun had already received the help of Wang Fengnian and got the door key of the old warehouse of Wang Jiajian on the side of the town. After he climbed over the wall and came out of the back house of the Liu family compound, he slipped along the wall to the door of the old warehouse. After entering, he climbed up the window on the back wall, climbed down from there with a rope, and then ran away from the field to the distance.

Ayumi Hamasaki was a very experienced and cautious person. He not only asked Shimada to set up sentinels at the gate of the town, but also set up secret sentinels on the two tallest roofs of the town.

A Japanese sentinel, with the help of the moonlight, seemed to see someone shaking in the distance, so he fired a random shot. Then, he carefully observed it, but found no movement. He thought he was dazzled, so he turned his eyes to other places.

Wang Shun was running, and he heard a gunshot. Then, a pain in his shoulder. When he touched it with his hand, all he could feel was blood.

A bullet shot through his shoulder blades. He hurriedly lay on the ground, enduring the pain, and did not dare to make any sound.

After a while, Wang Shun endured the pain, covered the wound with his hands, crawled on the ground for a while, then stood up, bent down and continued to walk forward.

After walking a few hundred meters, he saw that he was far away from Taoyuan Town. Then he stopped, pulled off a piece of cloth from his clothes, bandaged the wound, and then continued to walk towards the direction of the village.

Wang Shun shed a lot of blood and kept exercising, which stimulated his wound to continuously seep outward. Gradually, he felt a little dizzy and could not run.

Wang Shun stopped to rest for a while, gritted his teeth and continued to walk forward.

He insisted on walking for more than 10 miles, and his mind gradually became a little unconscious. He knew that he would not be able to continue like this. Seeing a dark village in the distance, he decided to go there to find someone's house, ask for some medicinal materials for treatment, and then bandage it again before continuing to go into the mountain to report the news.

About half an hour later, Wang Shun came to the edge of the small village. Before he could get close to the village, he heard a barking sound of dogs. He continued to walk forward. When he arrived at the entrance of the village, he couldn't hold on anymore, and he fell to the ground in the darkness.

After Ma Erbao left the city, he felt very uncomfortable after a violent vomiting. He gritted his teeth and rushed forward, shaking his body while walking. From the county town to Taohua Mountain, the straight line distance is 90 miles, which is not an easy task.

Ma Erbao is now eager to find a village, eat something, replenish his energy, and it is best to hire a carriage. Otherwise, he would not be able to complete the task of reporting to the mountain.

After all, he had arrived in Shoucheng County very short. He had spent all of it familiar with the terrain in the city some time ago. He was in a dark state as to the situation outside the city.

He could only move towards Taohua Mountain. Whether he could meet a village depends on his luck.

In the night, Ma Erbao rushed on the road in the field, and he was weak and had to stop and stop.

Until the sky turned white, he walked less than 20 miles away. Fortunately, at this time, he finally saw a village not far ahead, so he walked towards it.

It is popular to raise dogs in the villages in this area. Before Ma Erbao got close to the village, he heard a barking dog in the village.

He was a little afraid of dogs since he was a child, so he couldn't help but hesitate. He was very worried that if he entered the village like this, he would be bitten by dogs.

He thought it would be better to wait for dawn to go in, but when he saw that the sky was getting brighter and brighter, he was worried that he would not be able to pass the news back to the mountain before the Japanese entered the mountain.

So Ma Erbao made up his mind and picked up a tree branch on the side of the road, pulled off the branches and leaves, barely considered a dog-beating stick, and plucked the courage to walk towards the village.

Who would have thought that Ma Erbao would suffer an undesired disaster even after this hesitation.

It turned out that the village was called Xiaowangzhuang. During this period, two cows were lost in succession. The people in the village were trying to catch the cow thief.

The barking of dogs in the village has aroused the alert from the villagers. They also saw Ma Erbao. If Ma Erbao walked directly into the village, the villagers would probably not have doubted anything, but Ma Erbao's hesitation at the edge of the village looked a little sneaky, which made the villagers suspicious.

As a result, as soon as Ma Erbao entered the village, he was surrounded by several villagers holding swords, guns and sticks, saying that he was a cattle thief.

Ma Erbao explained that he was a clerk at Sun Ji grocery store in the city. If he didn't believe it, the villagers could go to the city to investigate.

The villagers found more than a dozen oceans from him. These oceans were originally used by Ma Erbao to deal with unexpected situations on the road. Unexpectedly, this aroused the villagers' suspicion.

Ma Erbao repeatedly explained that the villagers just didn't believe it. They wanted to lock Ma Erbao up first, saying that they would leave it to the village chief to solve the problem after dawn.

Fortunately, these villagers did not see Ma Erbao having any evil behavior of stealing cattle with their own eyes, so they did not beat him directly. However, Ma Erbao wanted to go into the mountain to deliver a letter, but it was not possible for the time being.

He begged hard, saying that there was a big urgent matter, and no one from the villagers listened to what he said, so he locked him in a woodshed. Ma Erbao complained secretly, but he had no choice but to do anything.

Compared to Wang Shun and Ma Erbao, Shao Ming was much more lucky. His family was nearby and grew up in this area since childhood. He was very familiar with the situation nearby.

He soon returned to his home and paid for a carriage from the village. The journey went very smoothly. When it was almost dawn, he had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.

However, his troubles are not small compared to Ma Erbao and Wang Shun. He doesn't know where the team on the mountain is. Even if he meets them, it is a big question whether he can gain their trust.

He did not go directly into the mountain, but first went to his uncle's house to learn about the situation in Taohua Mountain.

The mountainous areas in this area are collectively called Taohua Mountain. As for the mountains in it, there is no name. There are only a few mountains along the highway. In order to mark the location of the highway, they are marked on the map. For example, Mashan, where Gao Han and others ambushed, etc.

Taohua Mountain where Gao Han and his friends are located is called Taohua Mountain by the original villagers because the mountain is full of peach trees. For outsiders, it is just an ordinary mountain in the mountains of Taohua Mountain.

Gao Han and others didn't come to Taohua Mountain for a long time, and they had never been to their village. Therefore, the villagers were very unfamiliar with them.

Shao Ming's uncle could not provide any useful clues, but he still helped and led him to meet a hunter in the village.

Ning Wen and Ning Wu are twin brothers, 22 years old this year. They are of medium size and muscles, and look very tough. They have followed their father to hunt since childhood, traveling through the mountains and fields all day long, with a good body, as agile as a leopard.

They are good at identifying and tracking, and can find some hidden beasts from clues left by wild beasts. In their years of hunting career, they have mastered good marksmanship and can be said to be very excellent hunters.

However, there are no large wild beasts in the Taohua Mountains. They can only fight some foxes, pheasants, rabbits, etc., and they cannot sell at a good price. Life has always been very hard.

After the Japanese came, people's livelihood was withering, fewer people bought prey, and the life of the two brothers became even more difficult.

That morning, the two brothers were about to go into the mountain to hunt. Uncle Li from the same village, namely Shao Ming's uncle, led his nephew to find the two brothers and asked them about the situation of the bandits in the mountains.

Shao Ming really asked the right person. When Ning Wen and Ning Wu were hunting on the mountain, they once heard someone fired guns in the valley not far away.

The two brothers were a little curious at the time, so they climbed up the hillside. They saw a group of people practicing target shooting, and these people were naturally Gao Han and others.

The two brothers did not understand where these people came from and were unwilling to provoke them. They never went to that valley again, but they remembered the place clearly.

For the sake of Uncle Li's face and the 3-yuan amount, they agreed to take Shao Ming into the mountains to find the bandits, but they only agreed to take him to the valley and then let him search for him nearby.

Shao Ming was worried about how to find Gao Han and others. He was already very satisfied with the fact that Ning Wen and Ning Wu brothers could provide such clues. The three of them hurried into the mountains.

Taoyuan Town.

Liu Shengyu was woken up by Ayumi Hamasaki sent someone to come early in the morning and urged him to set off.

Liu Shengyu didn't know whether Gao Han and others could get the news in time, so he decided to try to delay the Japanese's actions.

After meeting Ayumi Hamasaki, he suggested: "Master, Mr. Huzhi thought of a problem last night. The scope of the Taohua Mountains is too large. If we go into the mountain to find it, we may not be able to find it in a short time. Huzhi suggested that we should bring the necessary supplies to extend the time of searching in the mountains."

Ayumi Hamasaki thought what Liu Shengyu said made sense, so she asked him to hurry up and prepare for supplies.

Liu Shengyu sent someone to prepare supplies to enter the mountain. He thought very thoughtfully. In addition to grain, he also prepared some meat, salt, pots, pans, spoons and many other supplies.

As a result, Ayumi Hamasaki and others were very satisfied. However, the whole morning passed by forcing this toss and things.

At noon, Shao Ming, led by the Ning Wen brothers, came to the valley.

Shao Ming saw that the mountains were steep and the vegetation was dense on both sides of the valley. He didn't know how to choose, so he asked the two brothers for advice.

Ning Wen and Ning Wu searched nearby and soon found some traces.

Ning Wen pointed to the trampled grass and said, "Those people came from here. If you go up here, you should be able to find them."

Shao Ming looked at the grass on the ground and the grass around him, and he didn't understand how they saw it.

Ning Wu said: "Look at these grasses, although they are basically the same as the grasses next to them, they are recovered after being trampled. However, when these grasses are trampled, some grass leaves still break and fall on the ground, and have become dry. The dead leaves under the surrounding grasses are obviously much less. If you look carefully at the grasses, are they all like this?"

Shao Ming followed the direction of Ning Wu's finger and fiddled with his hands. Sure enough, he found that there were a large number of dead leaves under the grass. Some grasses had signs that they had not recovered after being trampled.
