Chapter 639

After dinner, Huo Jianfeng helped clear the table and said to Han Mingxiu, "tomorrow is the torch festival. I may not be able to come back at night. I have to lead an all-weather patrol.

Han Mingxiu listened and told Huo Jianfeng to pay attention to safety. Because during the festival, people are celebrating the festival. There are many people and many people. It is the enemy who is most likely to choose this time to do damage, so we should be extra careful.

Huo Jianfeng heard his daughter-in-law's advice and said: "don't worry, your man knows it well and will never let the enemy succeed!"

Han Mingxiu said, "even if you know it in your heart, you should be more careful. You are not only the commander of a battalion, but also the father of three children and the husband of a woman. So your life belongs not only to you, but also to us. I hope you can always pay attention to safety. When you complete the task, you must ensure your own safety!"

"I know, daughter-in-law, for you and your children, I will see and listen, not only to complete the task, but also to protect myself! Don't worry, daughter-in-law. I will come back safely and report to you. " Huo Jianfeng solemnly guarantees.

Early the next morning, Huo Jianfeng went out to lead his comrades on patrol. Because today is the first day of Torch Festival, the enemy will certainly look for opportunities for destruction everywhere. Therefore, Huo Jianfeng always keep vigilant, alert to search the wind and grass, to protect the festive atmosphere from being destroyed.

After breakfast, Han Mingxiu and Xiao Fu took their three children to the street. One of them bought a suit of national clothes for the torch festival, and several people's facial values are super high. If they put on beautiful national clothes, they will look better.

Only Xiaoshuang's figure is a little fat, so he has to buy a larger size of clothes. Although he is almost fat and thin, his clothes and trousers are all a larger size, and they are not as beautiful as brothers and sisters.

However, he was also cute, like a white and tender little ball. Everyone wanted to pat his little ass and pinch his little face. He got a lot of "threatening" eyes to "bully" him along the way.

Scared, Xiaoshuang has to just hold aunt Xiaofu's hand, so as not to be pinched by those bad adults

Today's streets are particularly lively, with hawkers shouting one after another. Men and women, old and young, in festive costumes come and go. There are also many children like da Shuang and Xiao Shuang playing in the street in their festive costumes. It's so lively that there is a scene of peace and joy everywhere

Torch Festival has three days, the first night there is a ceremony to sacrifice fire.

On the day of fire sacrifice, every village will slaughter cattle and sheep, share them together, and prepare wine and meat for ancestors. When night falls, people near the village will set up a sacrificial platform at the place selected by the old people, strike stones to light the sacred fire in the traditional way, and Bimo (Yi folk priest) will chant scriptures to sacrifice the fire.

Then, every family, adults and children, would take the torch made of Artemisia from Bimo's hand and wander around the corner of the field to imitate the legend of ashmo's fire to drive insects.

Although the ceremony is lively, the children will certainly like it, but for the sake of safety, Han Mingxiu decided not to take the children out in the evening.

That night, Huo Jianfeng didn't come back all night. Han Mingxiu missed him and didn't sleep all night

Before dawn the next day, Han Mingxiu got up, chopped stuffing and noodles, and gave Huo Jianfeng a dumpling filled with three delicacies.

He had a hard night last night, so we have to prepare breakfast for him. We can't deal with it!

When Dongfang just showed his white belly, Huo Jianfeng finally came back.

"I'm back. I'm worried. Are you ok? Have you not met the enemy? " Seeing that her husband, who had been thinking about her all night, finally came back, Han Mingxiu was so happy that she almost cried with joy.

Huo Jianfeng hugged Han Mingxiu tightly, patted her on the back and comforted her: "it's OK, I'm fine? As soon as I finish my mission, I'll come back and report my safety to you. "

Back at the guest house, Huo Jianfeng had a simple breakfast. Urged by Han Mingxiu, he had a short rest for two hours, and then hurried out to perform the task.

After the children got up, Han Mingxiu and Xiao Fu also put on their holiday costumes. She decided to take the children to the torch festival today, because today is the second day of the torch festival.

On this day, every family gathered under the sacred fire of the altar to hold various traditional activities. The boys will have horse racing, wrestling, singing, bullfighting, sheep fighting, chicken fighting and other activities. The girls would dress in beautiful clothes, hold up butter umbrellas, sing dorohoe and dance Da ti.

In the evening, when night falls, young lovers are playing musical instruments under yellow umbrellas in the mountains and by the banks of the river. They play harmonica and tell each other their love. Therefore, some people call the torch festival of Yi people "Oriental Valentine's Day".

In such a beautiful night, who would have thought that more than a dozen sinister Yue agents were secretly planning a bloody massacre!

Yesterday, Huo Jianfeng received the relevant intelligence from the superior, and the spy is likely to take action on the third day of the torch festival.

Although the higher authorities have mastered the whereabouts of the more than a dozen agents, in order to catch the "big fish" behind these agents, they are not in a hurry to catch them, and are ready to collect them on the third day.

For the confidentiality of this operation, they only informed Huo Jianfeng yesterday, and handed over the arduous task of arresting the spy to Huo Jianfeng.

Huo Jianfeng calmly analyzed it, and finally decided to let several company commanders lead two classes in person, and take separate actions to ensure that the arrest is safe, while Huo Jianfeng himself is responsible for waiting for the opportunity to arrest the spy chief.

These two days, after carefully observing the activities of the spies, Huo Jianfeng has found out their hiding place and activity rules.

Now, everything is ready, waiting for the capture tomorrow night.

Around 12 p.m., the people who took part in the celebration gradually dispersed and went home to have a rest. And Huo Jianfeng and company commanders sat together again to study the specific details of tomorrow's arrest.

Huo Jianfeng looked at several company commanders, like himself, with sunken eyes and long beard stubble. He jokingly asked, "how are you? Are you staring to death?"

Liu Fusheng, the commander of the third company, said with a smile: "these ungrateful and immoral things don't stay at home for the holidays. They want to come to our country. This time, they sent them to our door. Since they have come, none of them want to go back!"

Chang Bai Guangyuan also changed his old playful and smiling face and said firmly: "this time I will tell them to beat the dog with steamed stuffed buns - there will be no return!"

"Yes, let them never come back!"

Several company leaders, deputy company leaders, political commissars and secretaries sent by higher authorities all called out in unison.

Huo Jianfeng paused and said, "in this anti traitor operation, we should try our best to catch the enemy personnel alive. However, if the life safety of the masses is endangered, we can shoot the spy on the spot if we have to!"

Speaking of this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became serious. The second company commander, who had not spoken, said: "the battalion commander is right! We must keep an eye on every spy one by one. They will jump out of the wall in a hurry. We must seize the opportunity and beat them first. If it affects the common people, then our action will be a failure! "

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "I agree! Spies are carrying guns, even grenades and explosives, we have to be fully prepared, so as not to cause a lot of injuries! "

Bai Guangyuan also thoughtfully said: "if we want to minimize the casualties, then we have to be one-on-one and keep a good eye on the spy we are responsible for!"

In this way, everyone was talking about the action plan. Under the yellow light, Huo Jianfeng's figure was infinitely elongated and looked extremely tall

Finally, Huo Jianfeng concluded: "comrades, what you said is very reasonable! These problems are also what we need to pay attention to. In order to ensure the successful completion of our arrest task tomorrow, it is very important to go back and have a good sleep tonight. "

"Only when we are full of energy can we wipe out the enemy completely!"

"Also, don't panic when you encounter emergencies! I also secretly sent two classes of soldiers to meet us at any time. "

When several company commanders saw that Huo Jianfeng's battle was coming, they were so calm and calm, and their tactical deployment was so thorough. They all secretly admired Huo Jianfeng, and they were full of confidence for tomorrow's capture action!

Near one o'clock in the morning, Huo Jianfeng dragged his tired body back to the guest house. As soon as he entered the gate of the guest house, he suddenly saw a short and thin man sneaking into the door of the stable.

Huo Jianfeng immediately alert up, all this point, it is time for people to sleep, what does this person want to do?

Thinking of this, Huo Jianfeng, sticking to the courtyard wall and under the cover of darkness, crept to the door of the stable. He put his right hand on the holster at his waist and kept ready to draw his gun.

Huo Jianfeng listened, and a restless sound came from the stable. Speaking late, then fast, Huo Jianfeng suddenly opened the door, only to see that the short and thin man was filling the horse in the stable!

Hearing the sound of the door, the short and thin man turned to look at Huo Jianfeng, gave him a slight nod, then turned around and continued to feed the horse in no hurry.

Seeing that they were feeding the horse fodder, Huo Jianfeng couldn't help laughing for his nervousness. He didn't know what to say to the man, so he turned to his room in embarrassment.

However, he always felt that something was wrong, but he could not tell what was wrong

At this time, Han Mingxiu did not really fall asleep. Hearing the footsteps outside the door, she quickly sat up and opened a small corner of the curtain. When she saw that Huo Jianfeng was back, she hurried down to open the door for him.

When Huo Jianfeng came back, Han Mingxiu was at ease and soon fell into a deep dream. But Huo Jianfeng has been unable to sleep, the thin man's figure, constantly flashing in front of his eyes.

"O-legs, that man is O-legs!" Huo Jianfeng said to himself. He tossed and turned for a long time and unconsciously fell asleep

"Mom, I want to pee!" It was not until Xiao Shuang stood by the bed and yelled to pee that the couple suddenly woke up from their sleep. At this time, it was already daybreak, and it was estimated that it would look like seven or eight o'clock.

Then the whole family got up one after another. Han Mingxiu is responsible for preparing breakfast, Xiao Fu is responsible for Han Mingxiu, and Huo Jianfeng is responsible for making the bed and organizing the children to wash. The whole family is very busy.

After breakfast, Huo Jianfeng is not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he asks Han Mingxiu and the children to sit down. He has something to say.

"Xiuer, today is the third day of the torch festival, the climax of the whole Torch Festival, and the most lively day..."

Before Huo Jianfeng finished, Yaoyao could not help clapping her hands and saying, "Dad, let mom and aunt Xiaofu lead us to sing and dance together! Come with us, too

"Yaoyao, my father has a task, so I can't accompany you to participate in it!"

Huo Jianfeng see baby daughter enthusiasm so high, can't bear to stop them to participate in the party.

Han Mingxiu saw Huo Jianfeng's desire to talk and stop, and said with a smile, "Yaoyao, do you think safety is the first or play is important?"

"Safety first, of course!" I don't think about the cableway.

"That's right. The more lively the place is, the more dangerous it is. Especially now, Yue country is very unfriendly with China, and Pingxiang is the border city of Yue country. My father and I are worried that they will come to China to do damage at this time, so we'd better not go out!"

Yao Yao nodded and said, "I know. I'll stay in the hotel honestly..."

Seeing that his daughter is so sensible, Huo Jianfeng is very kind-hearted. He bends down and kisses his daughter's face. When he leaves the room, he calls Xiaofu out the door.

"Comrade Xiaofu, please protect Mingxiu and the three children! Also, pay special attention to a horse feeding man here. He's short and thin, with a little O-shaped legs. He's very suspicious. Don't let him get close to Han Mingxiu and the children. Be sure to keep an eye on that man! According to my analysis, he is most likely a spy of Yue State! "

Nervous after listening to Huo Jianfeng's advice, Xiaofu deeply felt the seriousness of the matter, she solemnly said to Huo Jianfeng: "Huo battalion commander, please rest assured, as long as I Xiaofu in, will never let anyone hurt Mingxiu comrades and children!"
