Chapter Fifty-One: Between Life and Death

  There is a well about ten meters into this alley, and Lin Feng threw his windbreaker in when he ran past here.

  Lin Feng had heard from Feng Jie before that her home was the second house on the left side of this alley.

  After throwing away his clothes, Lin Feng didn't dare to linger and directly rushed to Feng Jie's home.

  The gate of Feng Jie's house was ajar, and on the day that Feng Jie escaped, the "bandit army" took away Teacher Shi, leaving the door wide open. Later, it was still the neighbor who helped close it, but didn't lock it.

  Lin Feng pushed open the slightly ajar courtyard gate, rushed into the yard, and then quickly closed the door, panting heavily with one eye narrowed and the other wide open to observe the outside movement through the gap.

  All of a sudden, the Japanese troops quickly chased into the alley. When they passed by the well, one of the Japanese soldiers took out a grenade from his waist, pulled out the safety pin, knocked it on the gun and threw it into the well with a "swoosh" sound.

  The Japanese army had just run past when the hand grenade in the well exploded.

  Lin Feng's heart also violently trembled with that one loud "boom" sound, a wave of fear afterwards.

  Damn it, fortunately I didn't hide in the well, otherwise I would have gone to see King Yan by now.

  This little devil is really cunning and vicious, actually even throwing a hand grenade into the well.

  The Japanese army was about to pass by the door, Lin Feng secretly congratulated himself and quickly held his breath, being careful and vigilant in case of any changes.

  Fortunately, when the Japanese army advanced, they slowed down a step and did not find that Lin Feng had already hidden in the civilian house, and ran directly from the front door.

  Temporarily safe, Lin Feng knew he hadn't completely shaken off the pursuit.

  The Japanese army's pursuit troops have been shaken off, but this area must have already been surrounded by a large number of Japanese troops. It won't be long before the Japanese launch a blanket search, and Lin Feng is hiding here, at any time there is a possibility of being searched.

  The area is now surrounded by the Japanese army, and Lin Feng wants to run out of here, it's definitely not possible, hiding here is also difficult to escape the search, this situation is still not optimistic.

  What to do? Another difficult problem was placed in front of Lin Feng.

  Since we can't run away, the only solution is to continue hiding here.

  Lin Feng put a bar on the gate and turned around in circles inside the yard, trying to find a place to hide, but after searching every nook and cranny, he couldn't find a safe place.

  There was no safe place in the yard, so he decided to go into the house and take a look, Lin Feng decided.

  The door was open and Lin Feng walked directly into the house.

  Inside the house, tables and chairs were overturned, and miscellaneous items were scattered all over the place. It was clear that someone had already searched it. The most likely culprits were those "hapless soldiers".

  Lin Feng walked around the house and found that the layout was very simple. There were four rooms in total, including the main room. On the left side of the main room, there was a room with women's belongings scattered all over the floor, which should be Feng Jie's room. On the right side, there was a room filled with books and stationery, and a small bookshelf was tilted against the wall, which should be Teacher Shi's study. Passing through the study was the innermost room, which should be Teacher Shi's bedroom.

  Lin Feng turned around in a circle and still couldn't find a safe place to hide.

  What should I do? Lin Feng asked himself again.

  At this time, the outside became chaotic, with the sound of doors being smashed and people shouting coming from far and near, Lin Feng knew that the Japanese army had come to search.

  I have to think of a way quickly, the Japanese army is about to search over here.

  Lin Feng looked around the house and the yard, but there was no safe place at all. How could he hide from this wave of Japanese military search?

  "Open the door, open the door, quickly open the door, the imperial army is searching..."

  From a distance came the shout, Lin Feng's eyes lit up, his heart filled with wild joy, and he secretly exclaimed: "It can't be that coincidental, right? It's actually Yang Huai this turtle!"

  Lin Feng's eyes rolled around a few times, and he picked up one of Shi Laoshi's long gowns from the ground. He turned around and walked towards Feng Jie's room.

  The person who smashed the door for the Japanese army outside was indeed Yang Huai.

  This kid followed Xiao Ye with a team of Japanese soldiers, pretending to be mighty and going from door to door, knocking on doors and cursing loudly in a very arrogant manner.

  All the way searching, met a slow opening person, Yang Huai this kid didn't use small words, went up and beat the family with fists and feet, showing off his power.

  Before long, they arrived in front of a courtyard. Yang Huai stepped forward and kicked the door with a loud "thud" twice, then shouted: "Open the door! Damn it, open the door quickly! The imperial army is searching..."

  Yang Huai shouted for half a day without seeing any movement inside, his anger burning, he loudly scolded and was about to smash the door again...

  Just then, a sound of door bolt sliding came from inside the gate, followed by a creaking sound as the large gate opened. A man wearing a long gown poked his head out with bleary eyes...

  Yang Huai saw the door finally open and was about to scold the person who had kept him waiting for half a day...

  "Who's so arrogant, what's your name, you're calling out for your mother's soul!"

  That bleary-eyed man was yawning on one side and bellowing angrily on the other, even more arrogant than Yang Huai.

  Yang Huai was scolded by the man, his heart skipped a beat, and after taking a closer look, he exclaimed in surprise: "Lin brother, how is it you? What are you doing here?"

  The one who opened the door was none other than Lin Feng himself.

  Lin Feng seemed to have just woken up, opened his eyes and looked at Yang Huai, saying indifferently: "Ah, I thought it was someone else being so arrogant, turns out it's Captain Yang!"

  Yang Huai is currently the captain of the Xiping County Detective Team, so Lin Feng called him that, with a tone of disdain in his words.

  "What can't I do here? What's wrong with me being here?" Lin Feng said coldly.

  Seeing Lin Feng like this, Yang Huai's heart was racing.

  Lin Feng's prestige was not to be underestimated. Even though Yang Huai was now the captain of the detective team, with the Japanese army backing him up, Lin Feng's accumulated prestige from past days still made him dare not show any disrespect to Lin Feng.

  Yang Huai hastily rushed to Lin Feng with a sly smile: "Hehe, Brother Lin, no, I didn't mean that. It's like this, the Imperial Army's patrol team encountered an attack by saboteurs while on patrol tonight, and Ono Taikun is leading a search for those saboteurs."

  Yang Huai finished speaking, smiling sarcastically while sizing up Lin Feng's expression.

  Lin Feng listened and then flashed to one side, saying: "Then Captain Yang can search! Remember to search carefully, don't come back to find me afterwards, by that time I won't be able to explain anything."

  In the alleyway, a small fox-like officer looked at Lin Feng suspiciously for a moment, then waved his hand and several Japanese soldiers ran in front of Lin Feng.

  Lin Feng glanced at Xiao Ye and turned back to Yang Huai, saying: "Let them hurry up with the search, I'm so sleepy, still waiting to go back and continue sleeping!"

  Yang Huai couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh: "Lin brothers, you really think highly of me, will the Imperial Army listen to what I have to say?"

  Lin Feng glanced at Yang Huai and then looked away, no longer speaking.

  Lin Feng didn't say a word, but his heart was still unable to calm down completely. The suspicious gaze Xiao Ye had just given him indicated that this guy had already become suspicious.

  At that time, Lin Feng was listening to Yang Huai's knock on the door, and his eyes turned around, thinking of this only possible attention.

  He entered Feng Jie's room first, not daring to turn on the light, and hastily packed up in the dark.

  Actually, when Yang Huailai knocked on the door, Lin Feng hadn't finished cleaning up yet, so he didn't go to open the door. He just hurriedly cleaned up and even spread out the quilt on the kang, pulling it to one side, making it look like someone had just slept there.

  But the appearance is made, but the quilt has not been slept in, it's cold, and the one that has been slept in is warm, this point can't be compensated for. Lin Feng only hopes to chat with Yang Huai outside for a while, and after a long time, he can say it's cooled down.

  Lin Feng opened the door, and although he exchanged a couple of sentences with Yang Huai, it wasn't for too long. Now all they could do was hope that the searching Japanese soldiers weren't too meticulous and wouldn't check the warmth of the bed.

  It's not that Lin Feng has no way to delay time with Yang Hua, but when doing things, one must know how to stop in time, and the most taboo is to be indecisive.

  Lin Feng appeared here, originally very suspicious, if he wasn't careful and exposed his horse's hoof, the Japanese army wouldn't need to search to determine that he was an escaped prisoner.

  A few minutes later, the Japanese soldiers who went in for a search came out, and a sergeant went to report to Ono.

  Lin Feng couldn't understand bird language and didn't know how the military officer was reporting, but he felt that Xiao Ye's pair of gloomy eyes were staring at him like a knife.

  Lin Feng's heart was racing, but he didn't dare to show any difference in his expression, otherwise it would be like telling Xiao Ye that he had a problem. He tried his best to maintain his composure, tilting his head slightly and gazing at the night sky shrouded by thin clouds, looking very relaxed and carefree.

  Lin Feng was inwardly tense, and Yang Huai was also not relaxed.

  If Lin Feng is fine, then everything will be alright. If those two patrol officers were really killed by Lin Feng, then Yang Huai would be in big trouble.

  If that's the case, if Yang Huai doesn't catch Lin Feng, Xiao Ye won't be a problem, but if he catches Lin Feng, Lin Feng is not alone in Xiping County, and what's even more frightening is that there are some idle people in society who have long admired Lin Feng. When the time comes, these people will hear the news and tear Yang Huai to pieces!

  Yang Huai, even with the Japanese army backing him up, did not dare to provoke Lin Feng, especially not dare to provoke those social idlers who followed Lin Feng to the death. Those people were originally lawless and scattered, and the Japanese army might not have a way to annihilate them all at once. Otherwise, they would not have gone to great lengths to win over Huang Erpiaozi, and then let this rascal go to surrender other rascals.

  Yang Huai knew that no matter what, he couldn't afford to offend Lin Feng, otherwise, in the future, he might not even be able to set foot on the main street.

  When the sergeant finished reporting to Ono, Yang felt a sense of relief in his heart.

  This kid followed the Japanese army for a few days, and learned two sentences of their language. The sergeant reported to Shonen in detail what he had found out, but although he couldn't understand it, he got the general idea that there was nothing suspicious here.

  "It's all right!"

  Yang Huai seemed to be showing off to Lin Feng, and before Xiao Ye could speak, he smiled and said this sentence.

  Lin Feng glanced at Yang Huai calmly and said, "Since nothing's wrong, I'll go back to sleep. Captain Yang, please excuse yourself, Lin won't see you off!"

  Lin Feng had just finished speaking and was about to close the door and go back inside when Xiao Ye suddenly shouted: "Lin, you're not at your own home in the middle of the night, what are you doing here? Your suspicion is huge!"
