After a few rounds of gunfire, the endless wasteland returned to its former calm.

The white light of the sparkling grass is still swaying gracefully in the waves.

Xiangzi quietly observed for a while, and sent someone to find the big man and Zhao Youtian.

Shoko glanced at them with a trusting gaze. He said in a calm voice: "You two have both been soldiers and fought in battles, I don't have to worry about sending you there." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a lock of well-growing weeds winding out of front of him and said, "You two of you each take two smarter team members, slip along the locks of grass, feel the situation inside, and see if there are any others." ”

The two of them responded happily and turned to leave.

The big man and Zhao Youtian led people to turn around three times and two times, and came to an alkaline earth beam.

I lay on the ground and observed for a while, but there was still no movement. Zhao Youtian said to the big man: "Anyway, you and I are both people who have died once, let the brothers cover up, let's go in and see what is going on." ”

The big man readily agreed, then settled a few words towards the small ancient city behind him, rolled off the beam, and touched Zhao Youtian into the grub one after the other. After not making much effort, I saw the two of them rushing out of the bush and waving at Xiangzi.

Xiao Gucheng jumped up from the ground with three team members, and shouted as he ran towards the big man: "That coward, all run? ”

The big man grinned and said, "I don't even see a ghost." ”

While speaking, Shoko had already rushed over with a large group of men.

Xiangzi dismounted, smiled at the big man and said with satisfaction, "Look at it all inside?" ”

The big man raised his hand and gestured, "I went around in a circle of 200 meters, and I didn't even see a rabbit." ”

Xiangzi smiled indifferently and said, "I have to work hard for the two, bring a few more people, and search for two miles ahead of time."

The two of them answered, and disappeared into the vast silver sea.

Xiangzi asked everyone to dismount and stroll ahead, the green and tender grass among the bushes, and the provoked horses kept bowing their heads to eat, unwilling to move forward, causing the team members to let out bursts of shouts.

Xiangzi glanced back, and then shouted: "Leave the horses, leave two people in each team to watch the horses, arrange sentry posts around, and fire the alarm in time if there is a situation." The rest of the people scattered and searched, in groups of three, not too far away, and had to take care of each other. ”

As he spoke, he and Shuzhen continued to walk forward one after the other.

After walking for about a mile, a large clearing suddenly appeared in front of me.

Not only is the terrain flat and the grass is fine and soft, but apart from a nest of red willows, there are hardly any knee-length plants.

The surrounding grass, as if it had been discussed, were surrounded by brushes and brushes around to form an oval lawn, like a huge green-bottomed wooden pot.

With a happy smile on her face, Shoko looked around obsessively, sighed, and said, "God help me." ”

Seeing his smug look, Shuzhen smiled suspiciously and said, "What's the matter with you." ”

Xiangzi waved his hand a little excitedly, pointed to the empty space and said, "This clearing is where the bandits are buried. ”

Shuzhen has always admired Shoko's wisdom and judgment, so she generally doesn't talk much about the decisions made by Shoko, but silently assists him in achieving and completing them.

As he was talking, he saw the big man running over with bright red blood on his hands.

Before Xiangzi could speak, he gasped and said, "I found that the two injured horses have not died yet, and I have a knife with me, and the brothers have horse meat to eat."

Seeing his excited look, Xiangzi joked: "When you go back, don't you don't eat horse meat?" Why are you so greedy? ”

The big man peeked at Shuzhen with an embarrassed face, and muttered: "Hey, I used to march and fight all day long, and I didn't pay so much attention to it, but I didn't eat less horse meat." ”

Shoko smiled and glanced at Shuzhen, seeing that she deliberately avoided her gaze, she just pursed her lips and smiled.

After a pause, Shoko let out a long sigh of joy and said, "Then let the brothers have a good meal and be happy." ”

Immediately, he was greeted to cook in a pot on the spot. While calling Tiedan, the two muttered for a while, and then beckoned Zhao Youtian, and arranged two secret sentinels in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and five hundred meters away.

Only then did they call the three captains and walk north along the slot with Shuzhen.

After walking about two or three hundred meters, he suddenly made a hard turn to the west.

Xiangzi happily jumped on the groove beam, along the beam covered with dense red willows, standing on the top of the beam and looking back, the figures of the brothers in the open space were in full view.

Shoko glanced around a few times with a little excitement, and then walked towards a sandbag to the east.

Standing on the sandbag, he looked southwest for a while, and then turned his body to look at an alkali beam to the west.

After pondering for a moment, he pointed to the alkali beam on the opposite side with great interest and said, "Let's go!" Where to look again. ”

The group didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, so they had to follow behind in a daze.

Standing on the top of the beam, you can see the winding and vast trough.

Shoko looked in several directions, as if he was confident, and said, "Tonight, we will fight with the bandits here." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the sandbag in the east and said, "When the time comes, the big man will let the brothers lie in ambush in that sandbag." Zhao Youtian arranged for the brothers to ambush here. Brother Zhao and I took the brothers to guard the bend in front. You two settle down brothers, join us with machine guns. The three commanding heights form crossfire, and as long as the bandits enter the open space, they will not come up with any of them. ”

Zhao Xiaotian nodded thoughtfully, and muttered to himself: "The question is, how can you let the turtle grandson get into the clearing." ”

Xiangzi smiled indifferently at him and said, "The bandits are also very ghostly, and we think that the trough is a good place to set up an ambush." They will also think of this, it is a good place to destroy us. As long as we put on a good show, the bandits will come and attack at night. ”

Looking at Xiangzi's confident appearance, everyone also became enthusiastic.

So, you and I talked about it sentence by sentence. Shoko said confidently: "When the fight is almost over, let the brothers cease fire." Heiwa shouted at them and taught them to put down their weapons, as long as they lost their guns, Shuzhen and I and the eldest brother Tiedan, a few of them who made short guns rode over. When the time comes, I will have people set fire on the east, west, and south sides. The horse was afraid of the fire, so he could only flee north, and when the time came, two machine guns would be enough for him to choke. ”

Zhao Xiaotian suddenly shouted at this time: "I'll just say, let's get a bandit, what are you doing with tung oil*." It turns out that you have already planned for a long time. ”

Zhao Xiaotian said, shook his head with a slight sigh, and then said: "Oh, you don't lead troops to fight, it's really condescending." ”

Xiangzi smiled sadly at him, with a helpless look on his face, and said, "Whoever wants to fight, either you die or I am injured." If it weren't for the safety of the people, I wouldn't have taken this job. Hopefully, not too many people will die this time. ”

Zhao Xiaotian shook his head disdainfully and said, "They are bandits, do you have to see one and kill the other." ”

Xiangzi smiled weirdly at him, and said playfully: "You have only been a gentle citizen for a long time, and you will drive everyone to death." ”

Zhao Xiaotian was exposed to the sore spot, his face was flushed, he pointed at Xiangzi with his finger, laughed awkwardly, and didn't hold back a word.

Xiangzi smiled apologetically at him and said, "Killing is endless, and it is still necessary to focus on appeasement." Killing can only play a deterrent role, and killing too much will turn into hatred. ”

Xiangzi and Shuzhen were sitting side by side on the sheepskin mattress and laughing, and Tie Dan was holding a large bowl of boiled horse meat and placing it in front of him.

Shoko's inquiring gaze slid gently across Sook-jin's face. Seeing that Shuzhen didn't react, she reached out and pulled out the knife from her boots.

He knew that Shuzhen didn't like to eat fatty meat, so he cut off a few pieces of lean meat and put them in Shuzhen's bowl, and he held the shaved bones and gnawed them.

Shuzhen glanced at him warmly with a side face, took a piece of horse meat and put it in her mouth, and chewed it slowly.
