Chapter Thirty-Six: Misfortune Doesn't Go Alone
It's hard to find a river in this bird place, and even if you find a river, it's a huge question whether you can drink it.
We don't have a water filter, and if we drink water indiscriminately, we will probably get a disease, this is no joke, I would rather lick the dew from the leaves than drink the water from the river, and any disease in this lack of medicine is equivalent to waiting for death.
The water resources of this country are not as good as ours, and when we train in the field, the spring water in the mountains is sweet and sweet, even so, after each field survival training unit, the military doctor will regularly give us antibiotics to kill the bacteria and parasites that we ate in our stomachs during field training.
It's not squeamish, it's just training, and the troops have to ensure our physical condition, and no one wants their soldiers to die of illness after field training, it's that simple reason.
After we packed up our weapons and equipment, Yang Yuan was still the first to walk out, and I beckoned the magpie to follow.
The two soldiers at the gate of the village had already turned back, and Yang Yuan led us to the side of the village, which was surrounded by a half-human-high stone wall, and I didn't know what the locals were thinking, what could this half-human-high stone wall hold?
Yang Yuan pressed his hand, and we understood, bending down and carefully walking towards the half-human-high stone wall.
At a distance of 200 meters, it didn't take long for us to touch the location of the stone wall on the perimeter, and we leaned against the wall and started to guard with guns.
Yang Yuan pressed the headphones: "Little five, Ercheng, we have touched the periphery." ”
"Roger, team leader, correct the number of enemy troops, about thirty."
"What's more!"
"I don't know where it came from."
Yang Yuan closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes and continued: "Where are you located, let's look for it along the periphery, the enemy army is too numerous, don't act rashly." ”
"Understood, we are in the alley in the middle of the second house on the right side of the village."
I looked up and saw that it wasn't too far from us.
Yang Yuan replied and said to me and the magpie: "Follow me." ”
We nodded, Yang Yuan picked up his gun and walked towards the side of the wall, and we followed again.
We believe in Yang Yuan, and always believe in him unconditionally, not because I have known him for a long time, and the fact that my superiors can send him over also shows that this guy's brain is indeed different from ordinary people, and he can always find the best and best way to resolve the crisis at a critical moment.
When performing the task, one is one, two is two, there is no room for negotiation, when the task is over, there should be a fight, there is no fight, and Yang Yuan is the first to deal with it every time he walks in front of us and encounters danger, such a leader, what reason do you have not to believe him?
And a person like Yang Yuan, no matter which unit he is in, is the most important command force of the grassroots troops, such a person can lead the troops out, can minimize their own losses, and expand the enemy's losses to the maximum.
In short, in the eyes of the superiors, such grassroots cadres go out to lead the troops, and that is two words: rest assured.
"Team leader, this is it, I hear your voice."
The three of us stuck out our heads, and saw Ercheng and Xiao Wu lying in the alley in the middle of the house behind the wall, turning around and waving to us.
We climbed over the low stone wall in turn.
"Come and see."
We leaned over to the two of them, and saw that there were indeed twenty or thirty people sitting around several fires in the middle of the village, and there were a few enemy soldiers walking around the sentry.
"Their guards and deployments are completely unguarded, and the patrol posts are just for show, and they don't seem to realize that we are coming here tonight."
Yang Yuan said in a low voice.
The magpie looked at it for a long time and stretched out his finger: "The well is too close to them, and it is impossible for us to get water by lurking." ”
We all looked at Yang Yuan to hear what he had to say next.
Yang Yuan turned his head to look at the two families on both sides, and then said, "Could it be that the people in this village live on this well in the central government?" ”
I kind of understood what Yang Yuan meant, and his next order also confirmed that my idea was right.
Yang Yuan took the lead in turning into a house, the gate of this house is facing the center of the village, so it is impossible for us to swagger and knock on the door, Ercheng and Xiao Wu are afraid that the people here will be in the same breath as these soldiers, as long as the people here shout, we will have to run away immediately.
Who is not worried, Yang Yuan is not sure what the situation of these villagers is.
When we went into this house one by one, we saw that the two rooms in the courtyard were brightly lit, and the courtyard was full of some of their own living facilities and tools.
We took a general look around and there was no well in the yard.
So Yang Yuan made a gesture, and we walked to the door of a room in formation.
We stood on either side of the door, in battle formation as if we were about to launch a surprise attack on this room.
Yang Yuan stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.
It was a woman's voice that immediately spoke: "Oh baby, I said that I have to go to bed after dark these days, and you promised me." ”
Yang Yuan and I glanced at each other, and the general information of the family was immediately known, one of the two rooms in the courtyard was occupied by the male and female hosts, and the other room should be occupied by their children.
Yang Yuan knocked on the door again.
The man in the room spoke: "There must be something going on with him, go open the door"
After a while, the kung fu woman opened the door as she said something.
Yang Yuan immediately covered the woman's mouth and then we rushed into the house, I took out a pistol and pointed it at the man: "Don't shout, we're not here to find trouble." ”
The man was frightened, and the woman was half-raised and pushed into the house by Yang Yuan covering her mouth.
"Okay, okay, what do you want to do?" The man asked nervously as he looked at the weapon in our hands and half-raised his hand.
Yang Yuan said to the woman: "I can let go, but you can't shout, understand?" ”
The man nervously said, "Okay, okay, we won't, we won't shout." ”
The woman also nodded, and Yang Yuan let go of the woman's hand.
The magpie walked over: "Listen, we're not here to cause trouble, we just want to get some water, and we'll leave when we're done." ”
The man seemed to recognize us, especially me, and he stared at me and said, "I know you, you're the wanted man, you're the reported terrorist." ”
Magpie immediately explained: "He's not a wanted criminal, we're not terrorists, we just want to borrow some water." ”
The woman ran to the man, and the man hugged the woman and said to us, "We can give you water, but you must promise not to kill us." ”
Yang Yuan was a little helpless, it seems that everyone in their country has decided that we are terrorists.
So he walked up to him and tore off the flag logo on his tactical vest and stretched it out in front of his eyes: "We are soldiers!" We don't kill innocents! ”
The man must know this flag, and almost all the people in the world know this flag, and he is a little incredible.
"You're soldiers? But they say you're a terrorist organization, and there's a lot of people in the village who came to arrest you. ”
Yang Yuan stretched out his hand and signaled, and we put the gun down.
"Listen, I don't know what to call you, but I have to say that we are not a terrorist organization, we are on a mission."
He pointed at me: "This so-called wanted criminal has obtained a lot of crimes in your country, you believe you also know how bad corruption is here, we just want to borrow some water, please help us." ”
Yang Yuan's explanation is very necessary, instead of concealing the facts, it is better to tell the truth, this country is already very corrupt, and the people dare not speak out, and it will be better to say it directly.
The woman didn't dare to speak, and the man looked at the bright red national flag sign in Yang Yuan's hand and began to stumble: "I, I don't know if I should believe you or not." ”
"You have to trust us, we won't get into trouble, we just want to get back to our country sooner, and now we need water," the magpie said. ”
The man looked at the magpie, then nodded: "Okay, I'll give you water." As he spoke, he patted the woman on the back: "Don't be afraid, they won't hurt us, go and bring them some water." ”
Ercheng handed over our kettle: "Trouble, filled." ”
The woman carefully took the kettle and walked to the cooking place inside, and then I noticed that the house was far from being as small as it looked from the outside, it was very warmly furnished, everything that should be there, there was a brazier in the center of the room for heating at night, one side of the house was the cooking place, and the other side should be their bedroom.
We were all almost relieved to have the temporary trust of the local people.
"Little Five, go to the yard to be on guard."
"Yes"
Xiao Wu pulled out his pistol and opened the door and walked out.
The man lost his previous vigilance and said to us, "Since we are friends here, please take a seat." ”
"Thank you for your kindness, we'll leave right away." Yang Yuan waved his hand and said.
The temperature inside the room was very warm, in stark contrast to the cold air outside. After a while, the hostess walked out with the kettle, Yang Yuan thanked him and took the kettle, we couldn't wait to drink more than half of it after we got it, that feeling, really, how to say it? Refreshing!
The cool water reverberated in the mouth, then slowly flowed through the throat to the stomach, and the feeling was almost like the long-dried desert ushered in the long-lost nectar.
For the first time, I felt that the water was so delicious.
"Don't drink too much, you'll have an accident, just drink a little and control it."
Yang Yuan's voice reminded us.
The woman seemed to want to laugh at us like this, so she came up and said, "I'll fill it up for you again." ”
"Thank you, thank you."
We metabolized one by one and handed the kettle to the woman.
"Little five, little five, come in and drink water."
As soon as we finished speaking, we heard a knock on the door in the courtyard.
The man immediately stood up with doubts.
Then Xiao Wu quickly pushed the door open.
"Oh no, it's the enemy knocking on the door!"
"Damn! How can this be" Yang Yuan stopped the woman who was about to fetch water: "We have to go!" Thank you for your kindness! Really you guys are good people, thank you. ”
"Quick! Let's go! Yang Yuan shouted after taking the kettle.
"Knock !!!" We just wanted to open the door and go out.
I only heard that the door in the courtyard seemed to be kicked open.
Yang Yuan's face changed greatly, "Damn it!!" Hurry up and hide! ”
