Chapter 807 Zhou Yan is captured
Jiang Jiyuan put on a night vision helmet and followed Zhou Yan quietly, walking towards the mountains behind the village.
The moonlight was like silver, sprinkling on the mountain path. The surroundings were quiet, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing in the night sky. Fortunately, Jiang Jiyuan was far away, otherwise Zhou Yan would have heard the sound of pebbles rolling down.
The village chief knocked on every door in the village. He went into several houses and stayed for a while before leaving.
After a while, six or seven men came out from the darkness and joined the village chief.
They were whispering about something, as if they were plotting something important. Finally, they decided to go directly to Tang Qifeng's house.
When the men arrived at Tang Qifeng's house, Zhou Yan had already returned home and lay down to rest.
However, she immediately became alert again when she heard voices coming from the yard.
She quickly stood up and followed Tang Qifeng out of the room.
Zhou Yan secretly felt lucky that she had acted quickly and given the antidote to that useless Tang Qifeng as soon as she came back.
Otherwise, if they came and found that she was not there, and Tang Qifeng was sleeping soundly, her true identity would probably be exposed.
When the village chief saw Zhou Yan following Tang Qifeng out, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his face.
He deliberately said, "Qi Feng, a team will come tomorrow afternoon to ambush the Japanese soldiers coming this way. So, we need to pack up our things and leave here temporarily according to their arrangements."
When Zhou Yan heard the news, his heart tightened.
If a troop really came to ambush her tomorrow afternoon, her plan would completely fail. However, she could not just sit there and wait for death. She had to find a way to inform Ono-kun and ask him to advance the plan.
After the village chief and his companions left, Tang Qifeng carefully supported Zhou Yan into the room and said with concern, "The village chief has assigned me to stand guard today. You can go to sleep first!"
Zhou Yan nodded absentmindedly and said casually, "Well, you should also pay attention to your own safety."
However, in her heart she wished Tang Qifeng could leave quickly.
Because she didn't give her parents-in-law the medicine when she went out before, and now that Tang Qifeng is leaving, she must hurry to give them the medicine.
Especially that old man Tang Yuanhe, he is so shrewd that you may be discovered by him if you are not careful.
After Tang Qifeng left, Zhou Yan suppressed his inner anxiety and waited patiently for the yard to become completely quiet.
Finally, when there was no sound around, she tiptoed to the door of her parents-in-law's room, stopped gently, and listened attentively to the movements in the room.
After making sure there was no sound inside, Zhou Yan hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to give up on giving the medicine, as she didn't have much left.
Zhou Yan confirmed again and again that the old couple were asleep before leaving. A few minutes after she left, the door slowly opened a crack, and Tang Yuanhe quietly walked out of the room.
After a while, the village chief and his men came over in the dark again. Seeing this, Tang Yuanhe hurried forward, looking at the village chief with grief and anger on his face, and said in a choked voice: "Cousin, she...she is actually a spy! We almost...we almost..."
The village chief couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he looked at his cousin who was so angry that he couldn't even speak.
He hurried forward, gently patted Tang Yuanhe's shoulder, and comforted him, "If Comrade Jiang and the others who passed by today hadn't said anything, who would have thought that the seemingly weak girl could be so cruel and ruthless? Now we just wait for her to pass the message out, and when she comes back we can catch her in the trap."
Xiaotian stood behind them and said solemnly, "Everyone, I think you should go inside and wait. Otherwise, if she finds someone in the yard, it might cause unnecessary trouble or even make her run away."
After listening to Xiaotian's words, Tang Yuanhe felt that there was some truth in them, so he led several cousins into the main hall.
The main room was pitch black and there were no lights on. Everyone could only find a place to sit down in the dark and wait quietly for Zhou Yan's return.
On the other side, Zhou Yan was hurriedly rushing back to where she hid her things.
Her steps seemed a little hurried. As soon as she arrived at the hiding place, she quickly took out the telegraph hidden inside and began to operate it nervously.
After sending the telegram, Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but she did not leave immediately. Instead, she carefully hid the telegraph machine and some other important things to ensure that they would not be discovered.
After doing all this, she turned and left, her steps still hurried.
Jiang Jiyuan, who had been observing Zhou Yan's every move in secret, finally came out of his hiding place after seeing her leave.
He tiptoed to the hiding place and collected Zhou Yan's radio, notebook, pen, gun and some bullets.
Zhou Yan returned to the gate of the Tang family's courtyard, pushed the door open and quietly went in. After closing the door, he heard the door behind him suddenly make a slight creaking sound.
She was startled and looked back quickly, only to see that the door of the main room had slowly opened a crack, and Tang Yuanhe was walking out.
Zhou Yan's heartbeat accelerated instantly, and she widened her eyes and looked at Tang Yuanhe in horror.
Then she saw a few more people walking out from behind Tang Yuanhe. Zhou Yan immediately realized that she was exposed. She quickly turned around, opened the gate and was about to run out.
The moment the door opened, Xiaotian kicked it and broke Zhou Yan's leg.
"Ah..." Zhou Yan fell to the ground, covering his legs and screaming.
Her screams scared the Tang family next door. Tang's mother went to the village to exchange for white flour since she came back. She had just made dozens of white flour cakes and was startled by the sound of slaughtering a pig when she lay down.
Tang Yuanhu was worried about scaring the family next door, so he climbed up the courtyard wall with a ladder and said to the family who had already run into the yard, "It's okay, it's just that the second child accidentally fell and broke his leg."
When Tang's mother heard that her second daughter-in-law had fallen, she asked her two daughters-in-law to take the children back to the house, and she hurried to help her mother-in-law back to the room.
Tang's mother, who had arranged everything for the family, was still worried and ran to her second son's house to check. She saw that the gate was closed and could not be opened, and she was sure that her old man had not returned home.
"Squeak!"
"Sister-in-law!"
As soon as Tang's mother returned to the gate of her yard, she heard the second son's wife shouting.
She turned around and saw a figure running towards her. "Lotus, weren't you injured? I thought Yuanhu and the others and Lao Er took you to see a doctor."
"Sister-in-law, let's go to your room and talk." Qian Lianhua pulled her sister-in-law with shaking hands.
Tang's mother noticed that something was wrong with her, so she pulled her into the yard, closed the door, and the two of them went into her room.
She looked at her trembling sister-in-law and asked with concern, "Second sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"
"Sister-in-law, Zhou Yan... Zhou Yan... she is a Japanese spy!" Qian Lianhua said tremblingly.
