Chapter 178 Important Task
"Lao Zhao, let me go over and take a look." A man walked past Lao Zhao.
He was so fast that Lao Zhao had no time to reach out and grab him. He could only shout, "Chen Yuan, don't move. What if this is a trap?"
Ning Chenyuan seemed not to have heard it, he bent down to pick up the paper and started to read it. After reading it, he shook his head and said, "This handwriting is really ugly."
At this moment, the person who was writing in Yan Xuyang's arms stiffened. She raised her head and happened to see her brother's smiling face, and suddenly felt her cheeks burning.
Old Zhao walked up, took the paper, and said thoughtfully: "Is it possible that the words were written like this on purpose?"
Ning Chenyuan nodded, agreeing: "It is indeed possible. This will make it difficult for people to recognize the handwriting."
"Then who is the other party? Is it someone from our camp? Or is it the subordinates of Boss Dai or Boss Mao? Qiao Sheng, take a look." Old Zhao frowned and handed the paper to Meng Qiao Sheng beside him.
"Prince? The prince of the Japanese? No wonder the Japanese would come to our county in groups. What on earth do they want to do? What do we have here that is worthy of the prince's personal intervention?" Meng Qiaosheng said to himself.
At the signal from his sister, Jiang Jiyuan walked to the corner of the room, gently removed a brick, carefully took out two bottles of medicine, and handed them to Lao Zhao, saying calmly, "Do you think it's because of this?"
Jiang Jiyuan knew very well that the Japanese prince in front of him was not dead, and his real purpose of coming here would be discovered sooner or later.
Therefore, he decided to take the initiative to divert everyone's attention to prevent them from thinking further about the things collected by his sister. Now he has not found an excuse to release the things.
The people present stared at the two bottles of medicine in Jiang Jiyuan's hand, and everyone's eyes showed shock and vigilance. The appearance of these two bottles of medicine was like a sharp sword piercing the tense atmosphere, making people suspicious.
Old Zhao took the medicine bottle, turned to Ning Chenyuan with a serious expression, and said earnestly: "Xiao Ning, now I have an extremely important task for you."
Ning Chenyuan nodded with a serious expression. He seemed to have understood Lao Zhao's intention and answered solemnly: "Uncle Zhao, I understand what you mean. You want me to send these medicines to the base, right?"
Old Zhao looked at Ning Chenyuan seriously and asked in a low and powerful voice: "Can you complete this task?"
Ning Chenyuan straightened up without hesitation, saluted and said firmly: "I, Ning Chenyuan, swear on my life that I will deliver these medicines to the base safely!" His eyes flashed with determination and courage, showing his loyalty and responsibility to his mission.
"Meng Qiaosheng, Song Qinya, you two have assisted Ning Chenyuan all the way. You three are no longer those young students who posted big-character posters. You have become our outstanding revolutionary comrades. I entrust this important matter to you." Old Zhao solemnly placed the thing in Ning Chenyuan's hand, his eyes full of trust and expectation.
"Don't worry, Comrade Zhao, we will definitely live up to our mission!" Meng Qiaosheng and Song Qinya said firmly, their expressions serious and resolute.
"We will protect Comrade Ning Chenyuan to the base safely at all costs." The two young men continued to assure Lao Zhao with the determination to die, and their voices revealed great firmness.
"Good job, kids, but you must remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must value your own lives." Old Zhao patted their shoulders and said earnestly.
At this time, Ling Feng, who had been silent, reminded in time: "I see there are dozens of pills. You just need to make sure to take the medicine to the base for research. You can use it when your life is in danger. At least you can get to the base alive." There was a hint of worry in his eyes.
Old Zhao finally reacted and nodded quickly, saying, "Yes, you have to survive to reach the base. Remember what your Uncle Ling said." He emphasized Ling Feng's point of view again, hoping that they could understand the deep meaning behind it.
The three of them answered in unison: "I understand, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Ling." They were well aware of the arduousness of this mission, but they also firmly believed that they would be able to complete the task and live up to everyone's expectations.
Jiang Jiyun and Yan Xuyang took out some dirty medicines and handed them to them. Yan Xuyang said with a little embarrassment: "We found these medicines from several people in civilian clothes when we were cleaning the battlefield."
Old Zhao took the pills with trembling hands, knowing that they must have been brought by the comrades who died on the spot. He said gratefully, "Thank you, young man!"
"You're welcome, if you don't blame us."
Only then did Yan Xuyang realize that after he fainted, Brother Yuan must have fed him this medicine, otherwise he would not have woken up so quickly.
When he was cleaning up the battlefield before, he was searching for items out of habit. When he touched this soft thing, he didn't know what it was. He just thought it was soft and fun, so he was going to put it away and give it to his sister as a toy. It was not until he saw the medicine in the bottle just now that he realized what it was.
"How can I blame you? We will do the same when we go back to clean up the battlefield. We should thank you. Thank you for not keeping them for yourself but giving them out selflessly." Ling Feng said to Yan Xuyang with gratitude.
Jiang Jiyuan took the small cloth bag from his sister and said to Ning Chenyuan, "There are some medicines in it, powders that can make people faint instantly. Now is an emergency period. Remember to ignore everything you see along the way. Your mission concerns the lives of too many soldiers. Just remember that the sooner you reach the base, the sooner this medicine can be developed."
"Thank you comrade, we will definitely complete the task." Ning Chenyuan said and went back with his companions to pack their luggage.
"Old Zhao, what is our mission now?" Ling Feng asked Zhao Xueming.
Zhao Xueming took a deep breath and said, "We must bring a living Japanese soldier to pretend to be their prince to attract the Japanese's attention. That way Xiaoning and the others will be safer." After saying that, he looked at his comrades.
Ling Feng knew that this was a mission that would lead to his death, but he still said firmly: "Brother, I will accompany you. Even if we die, we will have a companion on the road!"
Others also expressed their willingness to go together, and no one backed down.
Jiang Jiyun looked at the middle-aged men in shock. It seemed as if they were not talking about dying but what to eat. Their tone was relaxed yet firm.
These people are ready to sacrifice just to protect the safety of more people.
"Comrade Jiang Jiyuan, we really leave this to you. Can you send him to Jiading City and hand him over to Qin Jianghe of Meihao Photo Studio? This is a token of my contact with him."
