After dinner, Xiangzi called Heiwa and went to the old man's yurt again.

After the old man enthusiastically gave up his seat, Xiangzi smiled and said, "Let me inquire, among the arrested people, except for two who have families here, the rest of them are brought by Hasmu. I want to let those two people go, reunite with their families tonight, and take them away tomorrow. ”

Seeing that the old man's face was happy, he looked at the old man with trust and said, "I want to ask you to tell them about it yourself." ”

The old man nodded happily in agreement, got up and walked out of the yurt with Xiangzi.

At night, so quiet that only faintly you can hear the faint chanting of the stream.

The air is surrounded by green grass and has the aroma of grass, making it look particularly fresh and moist.

When Shoko woke up, a dazzling white light had penetrated into the tent.

Shuzhen was kneeling on a sheepskin mattress facing the west, and was making a pockmark. And Tie Dan slept with a dreamy smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xiangzi quietly put on his clothes and went out, with a wide view, green grass and refreshing air, he really wanted to stay here for a few more days, but helplessly, the injured bandits needed to be treated, and they couldn't let them die in their own hands.

So, he cheered up, found Heiwa, and asked him to divide eighty sheep from the flock and give them to the old man.

Heiwa is a good worker at herding sheep, and she is a good hand at doing this work. He was about to turn around and leave in a hurry, but Xiangzi stopped him and said, "Call Bharati and let him pick some good sheep." ”

After settling the three Ha families, Xiangzi asked the big man to drive the livestock as the front team, Zhao Youtian escorted the Ha bandits who could ride horses to the middle, and he and Zhao Xiaotian followed the camel with the carriage.

After greeting the old man, Xiangzi took Shuzhen Heiwa and rode south.

The team has formed a majestic earth dragon on the dry alkali flat.

The first victory in the suppression of bandits did not make Shoko excited.

On the contrary, the heart-rending cries of women and children, and the sad and desperate expressions of the old man, have always haunted his mind like ghosts. It made it difficult for him to sleep.

Dragged down by livestock, the team could not take the main road, so they could only go all the way along the Gobi Wasteland all the way around Houbaozi and came to the northern suburbs of Qiqi Lake.

Xiangzi and Shuzhen rushed to the front of the team, while arranging for five people sent by Sun Mingzhi to take care of the sheep, and distributed a hundred sheep and ten ploughing cattle to the Sun family.

While waiting for the people behind to arrive one after another.

When the people arrived, Xiangzi said a few words of encouragement, and then led the team towards the north gate.

County Magistrate Liu received the triumphant news sent by Xiangzi in the morning.

On the one hand, he sent a letter to the bitter owner who reported the loss of his livestock, and went to Jiqi Lake to claim the livestock. On the one hand, the people in the city were organized to welcome them along the streets.

When Xiangzi led the team to escort the bandits, he drove into the city gate. For a time, firecrackers rang out in unison, and gongs and drums were noisy. A scene of joy and joy is no worse than the festive scene when Ma Zhongying was repelled back then.

County Magistrate Liu took the county officials and personally greeted them at the city gate. After the hard work, he walked with Xiangzi.

County Magistrate Liu deliberately let the team circle around the main streets of the city for a week, and then arranged police forces to escort the prisoners to prison.

In the city, the slaughter of pigs and sheep has already prepared a banquet. The team members slept in the open for more than ten days, and the dry food was full of hunger.

Seeing the banquet, I let go of my belly and ate like a storm.

After the banquet was dispersed, Xiangzi beckoned everyone to put their guns into storage, and the people rested for ten days.

Seeing the brothers happily disperse, Xiangzi looked a little heavy, and said to the county magistrate Liu: "It was my carelessness that let the three babies be shot, and asked the county magistrate to punish me." ”

County Magistrate Liu was stunned for a moment, then smiled "haha" and said, "Hey! How can you fight a war without dying?

Besides, one of us, in exchange for dozens. This is an unprecedented victory, and I will reward you with a lot of money. ”

Shoko looked ashamed and shook his head slightly. peeked at Zhao Youtian, who wanted to go and stop, and when he heard this, he turned around and wiped his eyes and left silently.

Xiangzi spent the whole family in Ma Zhan, and played with Xiao Haiqi for most of the day, until the sun was in the west, and then returned to the county office.

Hearing the footsteps, County Magistrate Liu rushed to the door and shouted: "Oh, where are you going wild, Sun Mingzhi has been waiting for you for most of the day." I'll let people look for you everywhere, and I'll be left to the willow river. ”

Seeing Sun Mingzhi, he had already arrived at the door. Xiangzi smiled apologetically at him and said, "Let Brother Sun wait for a long time." ”

Sun Mingzhi smiled all over his face, patted Xiangzi on the shoulder, and said, "This time it's thanks to you, not only shot and killed the murderer who killed the old man, but also recovered the cattle and sheep, I really don't know how to thank you." ”

Xiangzi smiled indifferently and said: "Relieving worries for the people has always been the motto of County Magistrate Liu, and if you want to thank you, thank County Magistrate Liu." ”

County Magistrate Liu looked at Xiangzi and said with a smile: "I see that you are talking and doing things, and you are becoming more and more official." It's so condescending to have you as my assistant. ”

The three of them laughed for a while, and County Magistrate Liu joked: "In order to thank you for being a great hero, Rich Sun specially prepared a banquet at home, and I happened to touch your light." It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, so let's go, shall we? ”

So, the three of them laughed and went out.

Notices were posted in all villages saying that the bandits would be shot today. In the small city of Fuyuan, people from outside the city have been pouring in one after another since early in the morning.

The streets that are usually sparsely populated have become bustling.

The semi-cloudy weather has somewhat melted away the heat generated by people's excitement and curiosity.

More than 20 bandits, escorted by the security corps and police officers, roamed through four streets. Finally, it stopped at the messy post outside the south gate.

On the grassy beach, which looks a little sad, a simple high platform is temporarily erected.

The bandits were tied up in front of the stage, and the security regiment and the police, armed with guns and ammunition, surrounded the high platform.

Two machine guns, staring ahead with their mouths open as if they were facing a great enemy.

Outside the red cloth rope, the high and low crowds were full of people watching the excitement.

The bandits who were waiting to be shot were earth-colored on all sides, and there were a few timid ones, trembling while trying to breathe the last few breaths of air in their lives.

County Magistrate Liu made a short and sonorous speech, and then made a Kazakh translation.

The stiff bandits began to come alive. The reason is that only two leaders were shot, and the rest continued to be imprisoned.

Before the words fell, two of the bandits were caught by the policemen who were already standing behind them on the earthen beam by the high platform.

With the sound of gunshots, the two bandits with big shoulders and round waists rolled down the slope like overturned sacks.

The crowd gradually dispersed in a burst of exclamations and sighs.

During this time, Shoko and Sook-jin sat quietly on the stool on the high platform and did not move.

The security group rested for a few days and then set off south.

This time, they were going to search all the way from Guangquanzi, Dayou, and Dadonggou, intending to go around from Shuixigou back to the county seat.

It seems that the success of the crackdown on bandits in the north and the timely and open shooting of key Kazakh bandits have indeed had a deterrent effect.

From Guangquanzi to Dadonggou, it is said that it is a bandit, and even an ordinary Ha people have not been seen.

According to local villagers, half a month ago, there were groups of Kazakh people robbing livestock with guns on their backs, and since they heard that Beishawo had raided the old nest of the Ha bandits.

The county shot two more, so frightened that the Ha people all went into the back mountain and did not dare to flash.

Therefore, this trip is not so much to suppress bandits, but to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

According to Shoko's wishes, this is the best ending. As long as the Kazakh people no longer come out to disturb the people, he is not willing to kill them all.

As a result, the mood was relaxed and happy. Approaching Shuixigou, Xiangzi deliberately caught up with Zhao Xiaotian and said playfully: "Big brother, will you rest in your village for one night?" ”

Zhao Xiaotian shook his head with a self-deprecating smile, and said, "It's all broken down into a pile of rotten stones, and there is not even a ghost shadow, let me greet the brothers." ”

Xiangzi looked a little childlike, and said with a smile: "Let's stay in Shuixigou for one night, the scenery in the ditch is good, especially the water is delicious." ”

Seeing Xiangzi's excited look, Zhao Xiaotian smiled at him mysteriously and said, "Why don't you just put the cave room in the ditch?" ”

Shoko smiled at him shyly and vigilantly and said, "Again!" When it's a meal, it's your own in the bowl? ”

As he spoke, he peeked at Shuzhen, who was only a few steps away from him.

Seeing that she was looking sideways at the scenery of the distant mountains, she lowered her voice and said, "Big brother doesn't dare to make this kind of joke again, otherwise, Shuzhen and I will be awkward." ”

Zhao Xiaotian shook his head disapprovingly, and muttered: "According to me, if you look at the sky, you will be hugged into the quilt."

Whatever you teach or not, you are your people. I don't believe it, she doesn't live a peaceful life with you. ”

Xiangzi smiled bitterly and said, "Big brother, don't look at your marriage to Aunt Ge, you really don't know anything about women." I'll have to tell you about it sometime. ”

Zhao Xiaotian smiled "hehe" and said: "I know that my wife and doll are hot on the kang, this woman, take her in charge with one hand and coax her with the other, and she will live with you obediently." Not as much hemp as you say."

Xiangzi shook his head helplessly at him, and said with a smile: "It seems that you really don't understand." ”
