    The workers walked in small groups to the logging sites designated by the Russians based on acquaintances or fellow villagers. Shen Chenglin noticed that the logging sites designated by the Russians were mainly located at the bottom of the valley and on the opposite north slope. It was obvious that the Russians did this.  The purpose was not only to obtain materials for building fortifications, but also to clear the firing range of the fortifications on the north slope so as not to become a cover for the attacking side.  It seems that the Russians are very tightly guarding Vladivostok, the largest base of the Pacific Fleet. Can their raid be successful?  Shen Chenglin couldn't help but hesitate.  "What are you doing standing there, chop it quickly!" A voice woke up Shen Chenglin from his meditation. He raised his head and saw that the foreman who had brought him over was looking at him impatiently.  Shen Chenglin hurriedly laughed and said, "I was distracted just now. Please forgive me!" "Brother, it doesn't matter if you are distracted now. If you get distracted when placing wood later and get pressed, don't blame me for not reminding you!" The foreman taught you a lesson!  After Shen Chenglin said a few words, Shen Chenglin spit into his hand with a smile on his face, swung the ax vigorously, and chopped down the cedar in front of him.  As the ax struck the hard tree trunk, a dull sound vibrated in the woods, and from time to time the workers' loud shouts were heard: "It's fallen!" Then there was a sound of branches breaking and heavy trunks hitting the ground.  It stirred up flocks of birds.  Then the workers came forward to cut off the branches on the main trunk, and then used ropes to drag the wood aside so that it could be transported away by carts later.  While wielding the ax vigorously, Shen Chenglin secretly looked around, looking for a route to leave later. He knew that the place where everyone was working was still relatively concentrated, and the Russian officer named Sasha on the side was also more focused. Wait until the afternoon or  Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we might find an opportunity to peek at the berths of the Russian military port.  "Rest, rest!" With the shouts, the workers stopped working one after another, and gathered in small groups and sat down under the shade of the trees. Shen Chenglin took out the water bottle from his waist and was about to take a sip, but something was stuffed next to him.  A gourd came over, and when he looked up, he saw the foreman's face full of smiles.  "Here, try this!" "Oh, thank you!" Shen Chenglin was stunned, took the gourd and took a sip. The liquid in his mouth was slightly bitter, but after a while, it was a little sweet, which was quite refreshing.  I had never drank it before, so I couldn't help but ask: "What is this?" "You are not a local, are you!" The foreman laughed heartily: "I have never even drank birch sap. I just collected it from a big tree.  Yes, drink more. The freshest thing about this stuff is the most nourishing. Drinking a gourd after a tiring job will make you feel better after a while!" Shen Chenglin couldn't help but feel nervous. The other party just said unintentionally: "It's not local!  "People" immediately tightened the string in his heart. He took another sip, handed the gourd back and said with a smile: "We live by the sea. We have been fishing at sea for generations. We know very little about things in the mountains. We only have to do a lot of work."  Please be patient if you don¡¯t have access to it!¡± ¡°I can see it!¡± The foreman also took a sip and said with a smile, ¡°You don¡¯t look like someone who goes up the mountain often, but it¡¯s okay. It looks like you worked hard just now.  , I also have a lot of strength. This job of putting wood is quite simple, if you are brave and careful, you can do it for two more days!" Seeing that the other party did not continue to ask, Shen Chenglin also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It can't be done.  Please take good care of me!¡± ¡°It¡¯s easy to say, it¡¯s easy to say, they are all hard-working people working outside!¡± The foreman waved his hand carelessly and said with a smile: ¡°If everyone is like you and doesn¡¯t cheat, it will be easier for me as a foreman.  "Everyone rested for a while and then started working again. While working, Shen Chenglin carefully observed the surrounding environment. He found that the Russian parapets and trenches were almost completed, and there were three people working on them.  As a multi-faceted fort, the only way to see the situation in the port area is to wait until dark, cross the few kilometers of open space behind the fortifications, and come to the high ground next to the port area to observe the berths of enemy ships. But in such a situation  Can you find a gap in a short period of time?  Shen Chenglin felt unsure, and the scene before departure flashed before his eyes.  "Have you seen the docks, warehouses, merchant ships and thousands of workers and merchants outside?" Shi Huaisha pointed to the scenery outside the window: "If we can't block the Russian Pacific Fleet in the port, once  When the war starts, everything here will turn into a sea of ??fire. Even if those people who are working and laughing will not be killed in the sea of ??fire, they will become impoverished due to unemployment. The fate of millions of people will be changed. Cheng Lin, you understand  "What do you mean?" "Yes, sir! Either you will complete the mission or you won't come back!" "No!" Shi Huaisha patted him on the shoulder: "I don't want you to die, but after you complete the mission."  Come back alive, do you understand?" "Yes, sir!" Shen Chenglin suddenly felt the corners of his eyes getting wet.?Having lived on the sea for nearly twenty years, he is not a person who shows his emotions easily, but he knows very well that if a war breaks out, the huge warships docked in the port not far away will bring disaster to the people along the coast.  .  "We must block them in the port!" Shen Chenglin clenched his fists.  Nine days have passed. Counting the day it took to establish a relationship with the foreman, there are only four days left before the return.  Shen Chenglin still couldn't find any opening. The Russian officer walked impeccably like a wound alarm clock: he called the roll early, took him to the construction site to work, called the roll before lunch at lunch, then continued working in the afternoon, and also took the roll before going to bed.  name.  Shen Chenglin finally decided to try it no matter what after dark, even if he risked his life, he had to find out what was believed to be happening in the port.  It gets dark very early on the Muravyov-Amursky Peninsula. Although it is still August, the sky gradually becomes dark just after 5:30, and the rumble of artillery can be heard in the direction of the sea. It is Russia.  At the signal from the island's coastal defense fort, the workers packed up their tools, lined up and walked towards the accommodation area.  Shen Chenglin found a gap halfway and turned into the bushes beside the road. When the team was far away, he ran towards the port area.  In the camp, the workers sat in small groups and had dinner. The fertile and vast land of the Maritime Province meant that the Russians were not short of food, so the workers' food was quite good, including salted pork, fish, and black bread.  , polenta, boiled potatoes and even some bad corn vodka.  The workers were eating, drinking, and telling vulgar jokes under the light of the fire. For these easily satisfied people, having food, wine, and wages is the greatest happiness.  Yang Lin sat by the fire, a little absent-minded.  While working today, Shen Chenglin suddenly walked past him and handed him a small note. This sudden move shocked him into a cold sweat. He found an empty corner tower and opened the note to take a look.  , there were only sixteen words written on it: "If I don't come back, there are things under the rocks, don't leave them behind!" Yang Lin thought carefully and felt that the "rock" mentioned on the note should be the joint where he left.  Location, but why did Shen Chenglin remind himself on the note not to leave it behind?  Wouldn't he himself be leaving by boat from there tomorrow night?  After Yang Lin finished work, he planned to find a deserted place to ask Shen Chenglin, but found that he could not find anyone else.  Thinking of all this, Yang Lin couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition in his heart.  ¡°Dang Dang!¡± A burst of bells woke Yang Lin up from his thoughts. He quickly stood up. It was time to gather for roll call again.  Yang Lin turned around and looked around, but there was still no sign of Shen Chenglin. What's going on?  Yang Lin became more and more anxious.  Under the firelight, the roll call began.  Soon, Shen Chenglin's pseudonym was called. Yang Lin wanted to answer the call for him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he remembered what Shen Chenglin said to him earlier: "You are just going to be a laborer this time. If you are not specially reminded, you will do anything."  Don't do it!" He hesitated.  "Hu Cheng, Hu Cheng!" When the person who called the roll saw that no one answered, his tone raised a few points, but there was still no answer. Sasha, who was standing aside, stepped forward to take the roll call and asked loudly: "  Hu Cheng is there. Does anyone know where he went? " There was still silence. Suddenly someone raised his arms and replied: "I don't know, but I didn't see him when I came back from work!" "Very good!  Sasha nodded, handed the roll call to the people on the side, and said: "Continue the roll call!" Soon, the roll call was over, and it was confirmed that only Hu Cheng was missing. Sasha immediately ordered the workers' camp to be sealed and no one was allowed to leave.  If anyone gets out, they will be shot.  Then soldiers were sent out to patrol around with hunting dogs, hunting down the whereabouts of the missing person named Hu Cheng.  Yang Lin was lying on the straw bed, and the sound of dog barking and gunshots could be heard from time to time. It was obvious that the Russian soldiers were pursuing Shen Chenglin with all their strength.  He turned over, but this didn't make him feel better. The sound outside was like a silent hound chasing him. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind - after Shen Chenglin was caught, he would definitely kill him.  If you recruit it yourself, what kind of tragic fate will be waiting for you?  Yang Lin suddenly sat up from the thatched bed. At this time, he seemed to hear the shouts of Russian soldiers outside. What was waiting for him next was a whip, a hot iron or any other terrible thing.  , what was waiting for him in the end was a bullet, fear was like an invisible hand grabbing his heart, making him unable to breathe.  "Why are you tossing and turning? If you don't sleep, others will have to sleep. We have to work tomorrow!" the worker next to him cursed. There were seven or eight people sleeping in the tent, and Yang Lin's movements disturbed others' sleep.  He had to apologize while lying down again, but no matter what, he still couldn't sleep.  Finally theyI have to say to myself: "Now I can only leave everything to God's arrangements!" If something happens, the update will be temporarily suspended for a few days and will be restarted on September 24th.
