Chapter 365 Stone Cabin
Sanmu took Qianqi and Lingyu all the way west and arrived at a contact point closer to Wangcheng Yongchuan at midnight. This is the first time that Qianqi has seen what the contact point that often goes back and forth in Sanmu is like. He has only heard some brief descriptions about it before.
The small house is located in the middle of a broken wall and is protected by a special boundary. When Sanmu just asked Qianqi and Lingyu to dismount, they still felt a little strange. How could anyone come to such a desolate place?
"Just follow me!"
After saying that, he jumped off the demon horse and called it away. His demon horse is even shorter than Lingyu's little ash, because only this height is suitable for his height. It has shiny black hair, and the special thing is that the left ear has a small silver ring.
Qianqi and Lingyu also turned off the horse's backs respectively, followed the three-in-one body to a relatively complete wall. He knocked casually on the wall twice, and a doorknob suddenly appeared in the place where he knocked. When the doorknob was completely grasped by him, the outline of a door appeared faintly.
"Come in!" Sanmu opened the door and took the lead in.
He changed a demon fire in his hand and lit the one on the small table in the room, and the whole room suddenly lit up. The four walls of the room are made of stone, with two smaller windows, the height of which is just right for standing and observing the outside. The facilities in the room are very simple. In addition to a table, there is only one shelf and two chairs.
After Qianqi and Ling Yu walked into the room, Sanmu closed the door. He went straight to the shelf standing against the wall and took a notebook from it and looked at it.
"What is this?" Qianqi came behind him curiously and followed him.
"These notebooks are all left at the contact point for exchanging information. You see, you have saved so many books. This one is the most recent." Sanmu said and turned to the last page of the notebook in his hand, "No one has returned here for many days. It seems that something has happened to my other subordinate?"
His mood began to be depressed in an instant. When he came to this contact point, he was still full of hope. Because the main person responsible for this contact is a subordinate who is more proud of him. The man's biggest point is that he considers the problem comprehensively, is calm when things happen, and he has been following him for many years, and his experience is also quite rich. If something happens to him, then the other people will be more dangerous.
"Do you see that there is no new information here?" Ling Yu also followed and asked.
"Yes, but don't worry. We will spend the night in this place tonight. Maybe my men will come back soon." On the surface, this sentence of the third purpose is to comfort the two teenagers, but in fact, it is more like comforting himself.
He took out the food from the pocket on his back. The cake could be kept for a long time, but it was hard and difficult to chew. When eating it, you must drink a few mouthfuls of water, otherwise you may not be able to swallow it.
Looking at Qianqi's laborious chewing appearance, he asked a little a little sorry, "Young master, aren't you used to eating? It's all my fault that I didn't think well and didn't bring you anything else from Wangcheng!"
"Do you usually eat this when you are outside?" Qianqi swallowed hard and asked.
"If you pass by a lively place or a post station, you will also eat some good food, but there is nothing you can do at the contact point. You can't make a fire here, so you can only eat something simple."
Qianqi has liked to listen to Sanmu's stories since he was a child. The content of the story is mostly about how he collects all kinds of information from everywhere. He always felt that the three eyes were so powerful and free in the story. He galloped in the demon world as he wanted and had so many thrilling memories. But in fact, collecting intelligence itself is very boring and dangerous. In order to wait for news, he often stays alone at such a contact point for a long time, or lurks in the enemy's team.
After finally swallowing the whole dry cake, he pleaded with Sanmu, "Sanmu, anyway, there is nothing else to do if you want to spend the night here. Why don't you tell us about your interesting experiences! Let Lingyu listen to it!"
"Haha, I thought you didn't like to listen to my stories anymore. After all, your experience in this year is no less than my experience in the past few hundred years." Sanmu laughed, and even the third eye on his forehead narrowed into a slit, and his pointed little ears trembled with joy.
"But I still like to listen to your story!" After saying that, Qianqi turned to Lingyu, "Isn't it? Do you want to hear it too?"
"Uh-huh!" Ling Yu was actually a little tired. Just now, his eyelids on both sides began to fight, but now when he heard that Sanmu was going to tell a story, he suddenly became energetic. In the past, when I was in the dungeon, the boss's wife of the extremely happy country occasionally told them stories when she was in a good mood.
Hearing Qianqi and Lingyu say this, Sanmu no longer pushed back. He cleared his throat and said, "Let's tell a story of my youth. I haven't mentioned this story to anyone, because not only did I not be able to complete the task that time, to be precise, it was a failure, and I almost made a big mistake."
The story told by Sanmu happened when he was in his twenties. At that time, he was still a small role. As the most inconspicuous soldier under the intelligence group in the Wangcheng army, he tried to learn how to collect intelligence with the boss in the group every day.
Although he hasn't studied for a long time, he feels that he has understood everything and often fantasized about the opportunity to give him a great show of his skills and make great achievements. So once the boss came back with the task from his superiors, but he was not assigned any work, so that he stayed in the camp waiting for others to return. But after waiting for the old team members to leave, he also sneaked out and planned to unknowingly complete the task before them.
"That task was actually relatively simple. The boss heard that someone was selling information in Wangcheng to a guy related to Qingyun. In addition to sending someone to follow him, he also found someone to pretend to be a buyer who needs intelligence to meet him."
Memories suddenly pulled Sanmu back to the long past. At that time, he was determined to pretend to buy intelligence and meet this intelligence dealer called Golden Teeth ahead of his teammates. Before he met him, he thought everything was very good. He thought that with the experience he had accumulated with his boss for so long, such a small thing must be easy to complete.
Who knew who really found out the place where Jinya usually exchanged information. It was only one step away from facing him, and he was already very nervous.
"It's really difficult for me to get off. If I flinched, I will reveal the truth immediately. It will not only delay other teammates from collecting information, but also may be caught by Qingyun's eyeliner. In all kinds of helpless situations, I had to do it hard.
As a result, after a few words with Jinya, he was full of loopholes. The man was much more experienced than him. He quickly recognized his real identity and notified Qingyun's men with a secret code. At the moment when Sanmu thought he was going to be caught, the boss arrived with a whole team of people, rescued him, and captured the intelligence dealer.
"At that time, they were against Qingyun's people. I was stunned for a long time before I remembered to help. My legs were soft. That may be the most humiliating moment in my life, but it also makes me remember it deeply!"
"Have you been punished?" Although Qianqi really wants Sanmu to tell a story of wise Shenwu to show off to Lingyu, this story is obviously more interesting.
"Of course! However, the punishment was small. I thought I would be forced to leave the intelligence group. The eyes of the three eyes suddenly became far-reaching. He remembered that the boss in the group pleaded with him at that time, and finally let him stay in the team. "But the boss told me that he made similar mistakes when he was young. There is nothing wrong with young people wanting to succeed, but they must think before doing everything."
Lingyu and Qianqi are full of complacency. They remember that they have made many mistakes along the way. Due to lack of experience and impulsiveness, they often cause unexpected results, but when they stumble, they will always get the forgiveness and help of their peers.
"Shh!" Sanmu suddenly made a separate gesture, he listened attentively, and then pointed to an inconspicuous round hole in the corner tower like two teenagers.
A small pink nose poked out of the hole first. After smelling it a few times, the little brown mouse got his whole body out of the hole.
"Is this?" Qianqi looked at the little guy in surprise. He ran to Sanmu skillfully and climbed his legs and body to his shoulder.
"It's my little intelligence soldier." Sanmu put his ear close to the little mouse's nose so that he could hear its squeaking in his ear.
"Why can't we understand what their calls mean?" Qianqi shook his head and asked.
Sanmu did not answer him quickly. When the little mouse's cry stopped, he said, "Because they can't speak. They rely on the rhythm of the cry to convey information. These little guys have been specially trained by me and have mastered a method of transmitting information similar to the human Morse code I invented."
"What did it say to you just now?" Qianqi asked with a pair of big eyes.
"My man was injured and is now hiding in another temporary contact point, but he is surrounded by three of Qingyun's men." Three eyes respond.
"We should rescue him! How far is the temporary contact point from here? Qianqi stood up from the chair as he spoke.
"It's not far. Let's go now!"
Sanmu put back the notebook he had previously picked up from the shelf, and the brown mouse was still on his shoulder, like his little pet.
"This little guy is really good at conveying such a responsible message!" Ling Yu stretched out his hand and touched the little head of the brown mouse.
Unexpectedly, it hugged one of his fingers with two front paws, and then rubbed it with its nose before loosening it.
"It's called chocolate, because the color is very similar to the chocolate eaten by humans, isn't it? It is the smartest of the mice I trained, and it has the most password combinations. Sanmu said with a little pride.
"It's really a smart little guy. The mice I used to see in the dungeon can't compare with it at all. They can only destroy and steal food." Lingyu touched the chocolate again, but this time it turned its head to one side and ignored it.
"It's also angry because you speak ill of other mice, hahaha! Sometimes I think it can understand everything!"
