Chapter Forty-Six: A Family of Military and Civilians
Seeing the light, he had a bottom in his heart, and motioned to Xiaotian for Lin Jie to stop and take a breath, and then he held his knees with his hands and gasped and said: "I don't know how to get rid of it, if I really call a group of wolves over, I don't know if these sixty bullets are enough for the two of us, God, can you not let my life be so rich." This run is more tired than walking for a day during the day, mom is hungry again, go, no matter what you say, let's go to the front first! ”
After that, he glanced at Lin Jie, Lin Jie's situation was much worse than him, although he had quit smoking now, he was still much worse than keeping up with Xiang Xiaotian, and then he pulled up Lin Jie, who was retching, and walked straight to the light.
Lin Jie blushed and said, "You let go of my hand, I'm still a virgin, it's not good for you to be like this at night!" ”
Xiang Xiaotian shook his hand back and glared at him when he heard it: "It's what happened, it seems that the one who picked up the soap is also me!" What are you afraid of! Hurry up, my temples are starting to hurt again."
As soon as the words fell, they heard "Bang~Bang~" The two of them were startled and stopped looking at the sound, and after a while, they saw a faint wisp of yellow smoke floating into the sky through the moonlight!
Xiang Xiaotian picked up the scope and looked over there and said: "The distance from us to see the smoke is only one kilometer, I estimate that the kid in the car is taking the shot, and he has a night vision device, okay, he is here, we are also here, this is considered solid!" With that, he walked to the door, knocked softly on the door a few times, and asked, "Hello?" Is anyone there, please? ”
A few seconds later, I heard a not-so-standard Mandarin sentence coming from inside: "Who?" Can I help you? ”
Xiang Xiaotian replied: "Hello, we are the People's Liberation Army patrolling at night, but we are lost, and I want to ask you about the next road and ask for saliva by the way!" ”
The inside replied, "Oh! PLA, okay, I'll open the door for you! ”
"Thank you!"
After the door opened, Xiang Xiaotian saw an old man with a goat and white beard, who looked about fifty or sixty years old, wearing a coat and speaking awkward Mandarin, and said: "It's really the People's Liberation Army, what's going on at night?" ”
Xiang Xiaotian first glanced left and right, and then whispered back: "Uncle, can we go in and talk?" It's not convenient here! ”
Xiang Xiaotian was still worried, for fear that a jeep would suddenly appear and catch them!
The old man smiled and opened the door for the two: "Okay, come in and say, what's going on?" ”
As soon as Xiang Xiaotian and the two entered the yard, they smelled a fragrant smell of stewed mutton, the two looked at each other and suddenly a halo flowed out, and Xiang Xiaotian said directly: "Uncle, that's the case, there have been some lawbreakers who have come out to make trouble recently, we are a nearby patrol force, but at night when the two of us were on a mission and the collective separated, now we are going to a place called Tianyun Village to gather, can you give me a general direction?" How far is it? And can you beg for saliva to drink? ”
The old man lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "Tianyun Village, I've heard of it, but I don't have any specific impression, it's probably in the south, and it's not clear how far it is, but I'll tell you that you can get to the town by walking about thirty kilometers to the east, where it's convenient for you to inquire, the faucet is over there, and you can drink as much as you want!" ”
Xiang Xiaotian continued to ask: "It's okay, it's in the south, we know the direction and it's easy to go, is there still a village in the south?" ”
The old man replied: "Yes, yes, you just need to keep walking, but I guess I have fallen asleep at this time!" ”
"Well, thank you, we will fill the kettle and leave without bothering you!" After speaking, Xiang Xiaotian glanced at Lin Jie, who was drinking mouth-to-mouth water, and said with his teeth bared: "You are a little polite, hurry up and fill the kettle!" We're leaving! ”
At the moment of going out, a chubby middle-aged woman came out of the house with a lunch box of mutton in her hand and said a few words of national language to the old man, the old man signaled, took it and handed it to Xiang Xiaotian and said: "You two are hungry, take these meats, they were just made in the afternoon!" ”
Xiang Xiaotian didn't take it directly, just stared at the old man with his eyes, and then glanced at the woman holding the door frame of the room, then nodded heavily, then took the lunch box from the yellow and chapped hands and said, "Thank you!" Trust us, too, it will all pass! With that, the two men saluted them and walked south without looking back.
On the way, Xiang Xiaotian took out a compass and wrote and drew on the paper by the night, but Lin Jie next to him gnawed on the bones, ate happily, and said vaguely: "Xiaotian, you said that we are not violating the law like this, let's commit discipline, why do I feel a little bad!" ”
Xiang Xiaotian put away the compass, glanced at Lin Jie and said, "You leave some for Lao Tzu, I'm embarrassed to eat so much, it's only a few steps and I'm almost gone." ”
After that, he snatched the bone and took a big bite and continued: "I don't know if it's against the rules, anyway, I know that I didn't break discipline, and I don't want to say anything to Lao Tzu What if you don't have these things on the battlefield, I don't care about those, with me to eat, without me to endure, in short, my task now is to return to the camp at six o'clock tomorrow afternoon!" ”
For the two soldiers who often marched at night, it was too smooth to travel at night, and it was for the two soldiers who came down from the border to identify what terrain and what road conditions were for the two frontier soldiers, and it was precisely because of this that the two men marched faster than during the day, and they did not choose to go to the town because it would waste some time and physical strength, which is very important for the current survival in the wild.
The cold night of the Gobi Desert can only be experienced by those who have stayed, but the silence of the night is not something you can experience if you have stayed, on the empty earth, when the wind blows, the wind is big and sometimes small, Xiang Xiaotian and Lin Jie are still wearing summer camouflage clothes and do not have much cold protection, the two of them tightened their collars and did not dare to communicate, because the further they go, the more opponents they may encounter, and the slightest movement may have the possibility of others being knocked down.
And they themselves mainly rely on sound to move forward, although they are very experienced in walking the dark road, but they have little experience in counter-sniping at night, so the two of them also pricked up their ears and listened attentively to the surrounding movements, although the effect is not very good, but it is also the only way at present, in case someone can get a night vision device, just lie in place and wait for the enemy to enter the hunting range, as long as the two of them go in, they are a live target.
Xiang Xiaotian raised the scope from time to time to look around, trying to rule out some possibilities of being threatened, but the effect was obviously not very good, so he had to reluctantly return it to Lin Jie and let him load it on the gun in order to improvise.
