Chapter 203 Rescue (2)

Please remember the domain name of this site, or in: -Piao Tianwen-

There is a river from north to south in Tengchong City, with residents or shops on both sides of the river. In order to facilitate pedestrians, there is a stone arch bridge connecting the two banks of the river almost every few dozen meters. The exit of the underground drainage channel of the Administrative Office happens to be under the river bank on the side of one of the arch bridges.

This season, the river water is relatively turbulent. According to the picture drawn by Zhu Huaide, half of the exit should be below the river surface. Entering from this entrance and going in a few hundred meters into the administrative office.

Dong Limao decided to go in through this opening and take Zhu Huaide with him because he was very familiar with the sewer.

"Sister Cui, please ask Miss Xiaohong to go to Fengxiang Inn, find a horse gang leader named Liu, and tell him to take the second update to ambush near the bridge tonight." Dong Limao began to assign tasks according to his plan.

Sister Cui agreed and went out to find Miss Xiaohong.

"Little beard, go find two flashlights and a shovel." Dong Limao gave Hu San.

Hu San responded and left.

"Gou Hao, you and Master Zhu and I go into the sewer." Dong Limao looked at Zhu Huaide and asked, "Do you remember where we are going?"

Zhu Huaide nodded and replied: "Remember it clearly."

"Maybe the sewage is full of sewage, we have to swim in. Can you swim?" Dong Limao asked again.

Zhu Huaide smiled and said, "I have been swimming in this river since I was a child."

"Everyone will prepare. Let's set out in the second update. After we rescue people, we will leave the city early tomorrow morning." Dong Limao said. The reason why he set the time to leave the city was that he was worried that the Japanese devils would conduct a city-wide search after learning that Li Yuanyuan had escaped. In that case, it would be troublesome to leave the city, and maybe someone would be caught, only if the Japanese didn't know that Li Yuanyuan was rescued.

Everyone else walked out of the room, but Yang Rong didn't leave and asked, "Captain Dong, where is me? What can I do?"

Dong Limao smiled and said, "Boss Yang, you can have a good sleep here."

"How can I sleep? You'd better give me some errands." Yang Rong said anxiously.

Dong Limao thought for a while and said, "Okay, it's still early to the second update now. Please chat with me and talk about the situation on Captain Zheng's side."

"What's there to say about him? Zheng Chengkui is not kind enough. Company Commander Dong, you helped him so much, and he actually said that you were not in front of some officers. Take Hu San to come to me this time. He doesn't want me, Zhu Huaide and Hu San to come." Yang Rong said angrily.

"Oh, is that?" Dong Limao joked: "Are he still afraid that I will take you away from him?"

"He was afraid that Company Commander Dong would come back to get the money buried underground in my house!" Yang Rong said unhappily: "He has talked to me many times about the underground things in my house, and always talked about taking people to Tengchong to get underground things as military expenses!"

This is the first time Dong Limao heard that Yang Rong's family had money buried. Zheng Chengkui might have really worried about the food and drink of a team of two or three thousand people. Most of his men joined the army for money. Now no one will pay them money, so they will complain constantly. Maybe they may have mutiny incidents like Zhang Wu.

Thinking of this, Dong Limao said: "Boss Yang, the things buried underground are buried in the soil, which is no different from the soil. It is better to take them out as Captain Zheng said, and play a role. Money is only considered money. Do you think so?"

Yang Rong replied: "I originally planned to use the wealth to fight against Japan, but after dating Zheng Chengkui during this period, I realized that he was not what I knew at the beginning. He was too utilitarian. Maybe his team had grown up and thought he was a figure... I really don't care about his recent behavior! Take the surprise attack on the Japanese and puppet troops on the riverside in Songshan. Zheng Chengkui always complained that Company Commander Dong, you were alerting the snake, otherwise, he and his subordinates would have eaten the Japanese and puppet troops on the riverside. To be honest, at the beginning, I was deceived by his words, and I really thought it was what he said, but on the way to follow Hu San, I learned from Hu San that if it weren't for Company Commander Dong, you would have lost your lives!"

"Haha... they all kill Japanese devils. Captain Zheng is quite good compared to other officers. At least he doesn't pull his subordinates to the Japanese to be a traitor like some middle and senior officers. He is a bloody man." Dong Limao said of course Kong Xiangfei and others: "In order not to allow Captain Zheng's subordinates to secretly affair with Japanese devils for money, I think Boss Yang should help him, even if he lends the money buried underground to him first to respond to emergency response, drives away the Japanese in the future, and then asks the government to return it to Boss Yang." Since Dong Limao knew that Yang Rong had such a large amount of money, of course he would not miss the great opportunity to convince him to take it out and give Zheng Chengkui to military expenses.

Yang Rong thought about it and felt that Dong Limao’s words were not unreasonable. Last time, Zheng Chengkui almost surrendered to the Japanese because of shortage of food.

"I listened to Company Commander Dong, but the problem is that my family has been seized by the Japanese. Even if I sneak in, I will not be able to take those things out of the city." Yang Rong was moved by Dong Limao's words.

"This is easy to deal with. This time we came with more than a dozen people and drove more than twenty mules and horses. How about this opportunity to transport the money out?" Dong Limao thought for a while and said.

"It's much easier to deal with mules and horses," Yang Rong said: "Okay! Just do as Company Commander Dong said. You will do your business tonight. I'll go home and dig out the things."

"What are there?" Dong Limao asked curiously. Yang Rong said just now that it was difficult for several people to transport them out of the city, which means there are still many valuable things.

"There are oceans, gold bars, and some jewelry, jade and antiques." Yang Rong did not hide it and told Dong Limao honestly.

"Let's do this, I'll ask Xiaomai to go with Boss Yang, bringing only gold bars and oceans. The others are still buried underground, jewelry, jade and antiques. In this turbulent era, they will not be sold for a while. Oceans and gold bars can come in handy." Dong Limao said.

"If this happens, two people are enough." Yang Rong said, "Where will we send them after they are dug out?"

"Let's send it here. When we rescue people, we will send the things to Fengxiang Inn and join the mule and horse team. We will leave the city as soon as tomorrow morning." Dong Limao said.

Yang Rong said happily: "If this happens, I will have something to do. Let's talk to Company Commander Dong another day. It's time for me to prepare the tools."

After Dong Limao saw Yang Rong away, he leaned on the bed, smelled the fragrance on Li Yuanyuan's body, and carefully thought about the rescue operation plan again. He felt that there was no flaw. Then he closed his eyes and planned to take a nap, but his ears heard the sound of drums on the second round and jumped up from the bed.

Liu Yudong and the others got weapons and ammunition from gun dealers last night, but they were all short guns, a few twenty sounds and a few small pistols, and more than a dozen grenades. There were no machine guns and submachine guns with particularly strong firepower. The second update drum was not yet sounded, and more than a dozen people set off from Fengxiang Inn on time and arrived at the stone arch bridge that the little red girl said to be covered.

Just as Dong Limao and the others were about to set off, Xiaohong girl rushed over and whispered a few words in Dong Limao's ear.

Dong Limao was stunned, and then whispered in the ear of Xiaohong girl: "Sister Cui and you find a way to keep them and wait for us to come back."

The little girl nodded and hurried back to the front.

"Company Commander, what's the matter?" Gou Hao didn't know what Miss Xiaohong said to Dong Limao.

"Don't ask so much, let's go, it's time to do our work." Dong Limao handed the pistol that Sister Cui had prepared to Gou Hao and Zhu Huaide respectively. He also put a hand on his waist, picked up the short-handled shovel, and hid it in his arms: "Go!"

Li Yuanyuan did not suffer any torture, and she didn't even see Yamada and Xu Hongming coming in the past two days. Every day, someone specialized in serving her to eat and drink, and she refused to refuse anyone, eating and sleeping when she should go to bed. Every night before going to bed, she would go to the bath pool to take a hot spring bath.

There were Japanese guards in the yard and on the roof, and more than a dozen Japanese were patrolling outside the yard. Around them, there were many Japanese waiting in the dark, waiting for Dong Limao and others to come to save people.

But these Japanese devils were very regular and no one had broken into Li Yuanyuan's bedroom and bathhouse privately. It seemed that they had received orders not to disturb Li Yuanyuan.

During her stay in the hot spring garden, Li Yuanyuan was used to going to bed late and getting up late. After being arrested and locked up here, she slept even late. That night was no exception. After two more, she went to the room of the bath pool to soak in the hot spring. Soaking in the hot spring has become a habit for her. It seems that it is difficult to fall asleep without soaking every night. Moreover, after soaking in the hot spring, she is cool and pleasant all over. In such a stuffy summer, she is extremely comfortable.

After Dong Limao and the others arrived at the stone arch bridge, Liu Yudong saw in the dark that Dong Limao and the others came out of the sheltered place.

"Company Commander, all the brothers are here, what should I do?" Liu Yudong was not clear about Dong Limao's entire plan.

"You bring people and cover them around here. Don't expose them unless the devil finds out that you lead the devils away and find a way to leave Tengchong City early tomorrow morning." Dong Limao said simply: "If we haven't come out before dawn, then you take your brothers out of the city quickly after dawn, don't worry about us."

Liu Yudong nodded and walked back to his covered position.

Because it has not rained in recent days, the river water has not surged as much as expected.

Zhu Huaide went down first, and the river water filled his chest, looked at the exit of the sewer, and whispered to Dong Limao and Gou Hao who were squatting on the river bank: "You can walk in without swimming."

Dong Limao handed the flashlight to Zhu Huaide, and then and Gou Hao went down to the river one after another. Sure enough, the river water only flooded half of the sewage outlet. This would be good. At least the sewage coming out was diluted, which was not so pungent.

The three of them walked in a few steps before turning on the flashlight. Zhu Huaide was in front, Dong Limao was in the middle, and Gou Hao cut off the back.

Although the sewer is not particularly wide, it is not small compared to ordinary sewers, it is square, more than one meter high and about one meter wide. Although there is river water flowing back, the more you go in, the more stench it becomes. Dong Limao and his team covered their pre-prepared towels to speed up their pace.

After walking for a few hundred meters, there was a fork in the sewer.

Zhu Huaide did not stop at all, and took Dong Limao and Gou Hao towards the target position. The inside became narrower and narrower, almost half-squatting and moving forward, and the smell became more and more pungent.

After walking for a few more minutes, Zhu Huaide stood at a position where water drops fell and pointed upwards.

Dong Limao understood that he had arrived at the place, and suddenly, he heard the sound of water on it.

Li Yuanyuan lies quietly in a bath pool made of marble, closing her eyes and half-lying down, occasionally stirring the water around her with her hands.

The bath pool is not very large, rectangular, and can accommodate three or four people in the size of a person, with a height of about one meter. A red candle is lit by the pool, and a bamboo woven recliner next to the candle is placed on a bamboo woven recliner.

What Dong Limao and the others heard was the sound of Li Yuanyuan stirring water.

"It seems that someone is." Dong Limao said to Zhu Huaide and Gou Hao very quietly, and raised their right index finger to tell them not to speak.

Dong Limao checked the location of the dripping water with a flashlight. On the side of the sewer, there was a round mouth of the size of an arm. The dripping water flowed out from here. It can be determined that it was the hole in the bathhouse that was released. The surrounding area was piled with blue bricks. He tried it with the tip of the shovel towards the gap of the brick. Fortunately, it was relatively soft. It was probably because of the time that the cement-mixed sand had been soaked in the water for a long time and had no hardness.

But the problem is that there is a sound of water on it, which means that someone is taking a bath. If you pry the bricks with a shovel at this time, it will alarm the people on it.

‘Is it my sister taking a bath? Or is it another person? Logically speaking, there is no other person in the place where she is detained, except for the guards? And the person who guards her will not take a bath here? It should be my sister!’ Dong Limao made a judgment in his heart. In order to confirm this judgment, he thought of a solution. He used the handle of the shovel to penetrate into the water outlet and pushed up. The plug inside loosened and the water flowed down from the hole.

Li Yuanyuan's feet were in the plug, and she felt water flowing. She thought the plug wrapped in a strip of cloth was loose, and she was soaked almost the same anyway. She didn't want to care about the plug, so she planned to stand up and walk out of the bathtub to wear clothes.

Dong Limao pushed up a little longer, pushed the entire block away, and the hot spring water flowing out of the outlet sprayed him all over.

Li Yuanyuan had just stood up, and with a squirting sound, the water in the bath pool flowed downwards against the vortex. She stared at the vortex blankly and thought to herself: "No, it's logical that the pressure of the water is facing downwards, why will the plug fall off?" Thinking of this, she quickly squatted down, reached out to the outlet of the water and touched it. It was empty. At this time, she thought that it might be Dong Limao who came to save her. Her heart beat wildly, and she said to the hole that was still flowing downwards: "Jiacheng, is it you?"

Dong Limao and the others waited quietly, waiting for the water to dry up, or someone blocked the hole again, and suddenly, as if they were following the sound of water to come out of the hole. When Dong Limao heard it, he knew it was Li Yuanyuan and immediately responded: "Sister, it's me! Don't say a word! I'll save you!" After saying that, he couldn't wait for the water to flow, so he started to pry out the bricks at the outlet with a shovel.

Li Yuanyuan heard Dong Limao's response vaguely, looked at the door of the house in panic, then walked out of the pool, picked up her clothes and watched the movement outside while wearing them.

In fact, she didn't have to pay attention. No one came to the bath pool, and no one would come. If the Japanese soldiers on guard wanted to peek or had bad behavior, they would not wait until tonight.

It was also Li Yuanyuan's fate that should not be destined. In order to persuade her to surrender and arrest Dong Limao, Koji Ikeda specifically explained to the officers under his supervision that if any soldier dared to be rude to Li Yuanyuan, he would be engaged in military law. So even if those Japanese soldiers wanted to peek or had any bad intentions, they would not have the courage.

The shovel in Dong Limao's hand, one brick after another, expanded the gap. Gou Hao and Zhu Huaide helped him gently lower the bricks, trying not to make any sound.

Li Yuanyuan put on her clothes and walked to the outlet again. She could already hear the sound of a shovel prying the bricks slightly.
