The sound of horses' hooves approached quickly, and when they approached the jeep, they suddenly stopped.

Then the leader jumped off the horse, with a broad figure and vigorous movements, and his tall body made his coat swing in the wind, and Yang Xiaotao could clearly see that there were two shell guns pinned to his waist by the light.

As the leader dismounted, the five men behind came down, all with rifles in their hands.

This thing is much more powerful than a pistol, if Gao Yu is holding a rifle, it is estimated that the wolves will be afraid of three points.

The leader walked quickly, and Lao Ma and Gao Yu gratefully put down what they were doing and got out of the car to meet them.

"Team Mu."

"Captain Mu."

The three old horses stepped forward, the man was a head taller than the old horse, and when he saw the two of them, he immediately stepped forward and stretched out his arms to protect the two.

"You're fine, that's great."

There was a heroic spirit of a northern man in his tone.

"The field manager was afraid that something would happen to you, so he sent us to pick you up."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Yang Xiaotao on the side.

"Hello, you are Mr. Yang as the field manager said."

Captain Mu walked in, and after Yang Xiaotao saw his appearance clearly, he was even more sure that this man should be from the grassland.

"Hello, Captain Mu, thank you for coming."

The man didn't hug Yang Xiaotao, just nodded and saluted.

At this time, the man noticed what was a bunch of things on the jeep?

Just now I was illuminated by the headlights, and I only saw a black shadow pupil, and I couldn't tell what it was, but I thought it was bringing more things.

But at this moment, why can't you see clearly?

"Wolves? Did you encounter a pack of wolves? ”

Looking at the pile of wolf corpses, Captain Mu suddenly changed color.

So many wolves, what's going on?

Captain Mu suddenly stepped forward, his slender eyes saw the clue at a glance, and when he wiped it, he knew that it had just been killed, and it would never be more than a day, and the one on the top of the head was carefully touched, and there was only one wound on his body, that is, his head was broken.

It's a wolf's head, a sturdy wolf's head.

"Old Ma, what the hell have you encountered?"

The man opened his mouth to ask, and several people from the escort team behind him also noticed the wolf corpse on the car and stepped forward to take a look.

Lao Ma pretended to smile mysteriously, "Team Mu, let's go first." ”

"I'll tell you on the way."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, but this wind force is not the place to speak.

When Team Mu heard this, he hurriedly asked the wolf corpses to be distributed to the horses, reducing the weight of the jeep, at least so that the two of them could sit down.

After a moment of busy work, the team set off again.

Team Mu rode his horse and followed the car, eagerly inquiring about the situation on his face.

When he carried it just now, he counted seventeen wolves, except for a few with gunshot wounds, the others were killed by wooden sticks.

This is simply incredible.

In this wilderness, he had encountered wild wolves more than once, and as a steppe man, he knew the horror of wolves, which were cunning and ferocious.

Not to mention the three of them, it was the team behind him that encountered these seventeen wolves, let alone kill them, it would be good to be able to leave half of them.

Of course, this is on the premise that there is enough ammunition, and without ammunition, the roles will be reversed.

"Team Mu, aren't you shocked?"

The old horse held the steering wheel with one hand and rested the other on the window.

At the same time, he also gave Yang Xiaotao a thumbs up, "That scene is really a husband and a wife." ”

"The wooden stick in his hand was smashed to death in a short time."

Yang Xiaotao was a little embarrassed to listen to Lao Ma's praise in the co-pilot, in fact, if there was no help from Xiaowei, with the cooperation of these wolves, even if he could kill him, he would be injured, unlike now, there is not even a little blood.

The old horse said what had happened, and the high rain on the side added, which surprised the eyes of the surrounding guards and cheered one after another.

Especially Captain Mu, he looked at Yang Xiaotao with admiration.

The grassland people value heroes the most, and even in the new society, it has not changed their respect for heroes.

And through the introduction just now, Yang Xiaotao also knew Captain Mu's name.

Mu Duqin, a steppe man, also has a name, Aduqin, which means a person who herds horses.

Like everyone else, they are the poor masses who are exploited.

"Teacher Yang, you are a true warrior."

On horseback, after Mu Duqin listened, combined with what he saw, most of them were indeed beaten to death by wooden sticks.

And Lao Ma and Gao Yu know each other, obviously they don't have this ability.

The rest is undoubtedly Mr. Yang who received this time.

"Captain Mu, I'm just stronger, not a warrior."

Yang Xiaotao was modest, but Mu Duqin shook his head resolutely.

"At the coming-of-age ceremony of the steppe people, it is enough to catch a wolf."

"But that's it, very few things can be done every year. And you"

"You're the hero."

After listening to Mu Duqin's explanation, Yang Xiaotao neither refuted nor agreed.

It's just that in the admiring eyes of everyone, slowly move forward.

After walking for more than an hour, a knight in front finally heard a whistling and arrived at the place.

Yang Xiaotao was excited, quickly straightened up, and tried to look forward.

"It's time to get to the canal."

The old horse drove all the way, a little tired, and his eyelids had already begun to fight.

"Old Ma, why don't I come to the meeting?"

The old horse waved his hand, "No need, after the canal, there will be three miles to the farm." ”

"Teacher Yang, we're here."

Gao Yu behind him also breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the time, it was already eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.

It's been a long journey.

Yang Xiaotao changed his posture, he could already see the road, and there were farmlands on both sides, although there was nothing in the field, but traces of man-made had been seen.

After another ten minutes, the car came to a canal.

Then the headlights, Yang Xiaotao looked at the stone bridge that spanned only four or five meters.

Gao Yu explained that this was excavated in the early years in cooperation with the local government, and it was the main source of water for nearby farms.

After crossing the canal, trees began to be seen in front of them, and there were haystacks on both sides of the road, and the comrades on horseback in front were already roaring towards the farm.

Five minutes later, the outer fence of the farm was dragged open, and the soldiers on duty looked at the wolves on horseback and the people in the cart with adoring eyes.

The car crossed the barricade and saw rows of houses in front of it.

Unlike the Hutongs in Sijiucheng, these houses are connected to each other, and you can't see the alleys inside at all.

From a distance, it looks like a city wall, faintly, Yang Xiaotao also saw a Makqin standing on a sentry tower.

When the car stopped at the entrance of the compound in the front row, Yang Xiaotao saw the person standing at the door at a glance, the group of people.

"Teacher Yang!"

In the cold wind, a childish voice sounded, with excitement, with joy, and with a little crying.

Yang Xiaotao immediately jumped out of the car and ran up in three or two steps.

"Teacher Yang~"

"Teacher Yang~~"

In an instant, several figures pounced.

Yang Xiaotao hugged the child in front of him, and there were all leaning over behind him.

"Momiji, Dani, Erni, and roots, reeds, haha, okay. It's all there, it's all there. ”

Yang Xiaotao looked over one by one, and under the swaying lights, the familiar faces were a little unfamiliar.

The once immature face is still familiar.

It's just that there is more maturity and growth in this immaturity.

"Teacher Yang~~"

Yang Erni hugged Yang Xiaotao and suddenly sobbed loudly, among them, she was the youngest and the most homesick.

Every time she thought about it, the eldest sister and Sister Hongye told her to be strong and not to embarrass Yangjiazhuang.

So she kept holding back her tears.

The moment she saw Yang Xiaotao, the feeling of being a relative made her unable to stop rushing up and crying when she hugged her.

Yang Xiaotao picked up this little girl, judging from the chanting of later generations, this is still a child in elementary school.

"Erni, don't cry."

"The teacher is here, take you home."

"Hmm!"

Yang Erni nodded, Teacher Yang will do what he says.

The children around them wiped away their tears and smiled when they heard that they had gone home.

Yang Xiaotao met with the children, and a group of adults around him watched quietly.

One of the old men, who was not young, was called aside by Captain Mu, and Lao Ma and Gao Yu were also beside him to tell what had happened.

The old man looked stunned, then came to the jeep and the horses, examined them carefully, and after a while returned to the crowd, the shock on his face still not dissipated.

Yang Xiaotao put Yang Erni down, and then looked at the two women.

"Aunt Zhang, Aunt Xu."

"Thank you for your hard work."

The two of them were arranged by Yangjiazhuang to come over to take care of the children together, and they have worked hard for most of the year.

Hearing Yang Xiaotao's words, the two lowered their heads to wipe away the tears from the corners of their eyes.

In their lives, this time is the farthest and longest away from home.

Swept over the two of them, then looked at the people on the side.

It's still the same size, but it's thin.

There are also more wrinkles on the face, and there are edges and corners under the light, which is not as smooth as before.

Yang Xiaotao walked up to him, and the other party grinned.

"Director Gao."

If it weren't for the familiar face, Yang Xiaotao wouldn't believe it at all, the person in front of him was that Gao Yufeng.

"Xiao Tao, here."

The voice is still so familiar, and the smile is still so sincere.

Gao Yufeng stretched out his right hand.

Yang Xiaotao opened his arms and hugged him.

"It's coming. Here it comes. ”

Gao Yufeng reacted and also hugged Yang Xiaotao.

Then let go, Gao Yufeng looked at the children, "Don't worry, the children are all very good, there are many of them." ”

"I know, I know." Yang Xiaotao nodded, "But, what's the matter with you?" It's so thin. ”

Yang Xiaotao feels thinner than Ran Qiuye, this is a man.

Gao Yufeng smiled indifferently, "Don't look at me thin, but my body is good." ”

Yang Xiaotao doesn't believe that people's weight gain and loss are not good things, and there must be a reason.

His eyes looked at the people on the left and right, and the same thin face seemed to make him understand something.

"Xiao Tao, this is the field leader, Comrade Ma Sanxing."

Gao Yufeng didn't want to say more, so he introduced the Yangxia group to the old man on the side.

Beside him, a crowd of people surrounded him.

Just now, the people in the long guard team told everyone what happened on the road, so the eyes that looked at Yang Xiaotao were all admiration.

One man kills sixteen wolves.

Or with a wooden stick, not a gun, this sounds like singing a big show.

"Hello, Comrade Yang Xiaotao."

Ma Sanxing stepped forward excitedly and shook his hand, "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that you would encounter this situation along the way." ”

"Fortunately, it's okay, otherwise I wouldn't have explained."

Yang Xiaotao held the other party's hand, "Old field chief, you are serious when you say this, isn't it okay for me to do this." ”

"Besides, this child is with you, thanks to everyone taking care of it."

After speaking, Yang Xiaotao looked at a group of smiling children, "It should be me who thank you." ”

The two of them were polite, and Gao Yufeng asked them to hurry into the house, in the middle of the night, the wind was blowing cold, so don't stand outside.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, the head of the horse farm was polite, and then led the children to the house.

When a few people left, the head of the horse farm asked the things to be unloaded.

Looking at the dead wolves, everyone was shocked and surprised.

shocked by the introduction of Gao Yu on the side.

Pleasantly surprised by so much, meat. Yang Xiaotao followed the children to the house.

A group of children insisted that Yang Xiaotao follow them to their room, and Yang Xiaotao did not refuse.

The children slept in a large bunk, a row of men and a row of women, and there was an ordinary stove in the middle, and there was no heating stove installed.

When I came in, it was still a little cold, but the enthusiasm of the children was very high.

hugged Yang Xiaotao in the middle, chattering and asking this and that.

I want to know how the family is, and after coming out for so long, I am also worried about my father and mother at home.

Although Yang Xiaotao did not return to Yangjiazhuang, he still knew some news, and now he is also reporting good news and not bad news.

chatted with a group of children for a while, and finally at Yang Xiaotao's request, he lay down to sleep.

Leaving the house, Yang Xiaotao saw Gao Yufeng waiting, and when the two met, they sighed again.

"Let's rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Gao Yufeng was full of words, and Yang Xiaotao was puzzled, but seeing that the time was almost three o'clock in the morning, he didn't ask any more.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, and followed Gao Yufeng to the arranged accommodation, Gao Yu had already packed up the luggage cover, and the room was tightly shielded, although there was no stove, it was not so harsh.

Yang Xiaotao took a look, took off his coat, turned off the kerosene lamp, tore off the quilt, and lay down on the bed to sleep.
