Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 717
Seeing Xiao Liu running in, Chief Yu frowned.

Just now we talked about Ran's family, Yang Xiaotao also had a problem here.

Although the other party is very secretive, since the deaf old lady happened last time, they have taken it seriously.

"Section Chief, there is news from the courtyard."

Xiao Liu calmed down, "My sister-in-law found me today and said that Liu Haizhong's wife in the backyard has been in the yard for the past two days to inquire about Yang Xiaotao's whereabouts."

"Also, according to Liu Guangfu, every time Liu Haizhong goes home, he writes and draws in his room."

"He couldn't read some characters, so he asked Liu Guangfu to help. Only then did he realize that all the information he collected was Yang Xiaotao's information."

After Xiao Liu finished talking about the situation, he didn't feel that it was a trivial matter.

Section Chief Yu naturally knew about Xiao Liu's sister-in-law. At the beginning, he wanted to arrange for someone to be stationed in the courtyard nearby to protect her, but he couldn't find a suitable excuse for a while, and he didn't want to startle the snake, but he didn't expect Xiao Liu's cousin to be here.

Because the other party didn't know Xiao Liu's identity, he asked Xiao Liu to move around frequently, and his sister-in-law was indeed quite suitable to be an 'investigator', so she was asked to help collect information.

Of course, this matter was handled by the street office.

"Has Liu Haizhong been in contact with anyone recently?"

Section Chief Yu still has some understanding of Liu Haizhong. Except that he is a little addicted to "bureaucracy" and likes to solve educational problems with violence, he is not a brainless person.

"No, there are no other social activities except going to work and going back to the courtyard."

"Xiaobo."

"Senior."

"Contact the comrade in the rolling mill to see his recent activities."

"Yes."

"Xiao Liu, you go to live in the courtyard for two days."

"clear."

The sun began to slant to the west, and the afterglow sprinkled on the barren Gobi, making it even more deserted.

in the valley.

More than three hundred men and horses were fully armed.

Although they didn't have uniform clothes on them, their sturdy spirit was beyond words, and they stood still in the cold wind.

They carried spears in their hands and sabers in their belts.

There are even a few Czechs who are hugged in their arms with a wide heart and a fat body.

In the middle, there is a 60mm mortar that was disassembled and put on the horseback, and the artillerymen on both sides carried the ammunition boxes.

The whole team waited quietly in the valley, and the cold wind was full of chills.

In front of the team, Tie Ying's face was full of spring breeze, and the wings on his head were even more exquisite. He looked at the woman riding a horse beside him from time to time, feeling satisfied.

A straight military uniform was worn on Butterfly's body, outlining his figure, and the collar patch on his shoulder made him even more ashamed.

However, such a woman can only feel a sense of accomplishment when conquered.

"coming!"

The woman's voice interrupted the picture in Tie Ying's mind, making him come back to his senses and look forward.

Seeing Bai Yuhua approaching on horseback, Tie Ying hurriedly stepped forward, "Commander!"

"The commando team is ready, please review!"

Bai Yuhua didn't say much, but nodded slightly.

Looking at the brother who has been following her, Bai Yuhua's eyes flashed with sadness.

"Brothers, I'm at home, waiting for everyone to come back and drink!"

roar roar

Everyone cheered, Bai Yuhua walked up to Tieying, glanced at the butterfly, and said solemnly, "This journey is day and night, and the brothers depend on you to lead them. Be sure to bring them all back to me."

"Don't worry, commander, I'm here, no problem."

"Just those bastards of them, can they still be better than Xiao Dongyang back then?"

"Brothers, each person has a knife, and the work is done."

Bai Yuhua nodded in relief, as if remembering the joyful grievances of the past, patted Tieying on the shoulder, and then looked at the butterfly beside her.

"Colonel Bai, don't worry, I have already released the news. As long as the plan is successful, someone will take care of us. At that time, you and your family, brothers, will live a life of freedom and prosperity."

Bai Yuhua nodded slightly, the smile on Butterfly's face remained the same.

After taking a last look at the brothers on horseback, he saw off with dozens of people, men, women, old and young, who were staying in the valley.

"Let's go, chop off your head!"

Tie Ying roared, and the team rushed out of the valley.

Butterfly is also riding a horse behind him, with a Browning pistol pinned to his waist, looking heroic.

Rumble

Everyone rode on horseback, followed closely behind.

Under the sun, the team drew a long line for a day.

Target, Southwest.

Bai Yuhua looked at the people who left, and the majesty she was trying to maintain collapsed in an instant.

"Father, will Uncle Tie come back?"

The girl standing beside her asked softly, and a little boy followed her.

Looking in the direction of the War Horse Yard, the little boy had a look of longing on his face.

Bai Yuhua didn't answer, just watched the smoke billowing and dissipating in a blink of an eye.

"Ma Chun!"

"Yes, Commander!"

Suddenly, Bai Yuhua looked solemn and called out to his subordinates.

"Let everyone pack their bags, take everything they can, and go out at night."

"what?"

Ma Chun was a little confused.

"Aren't you going soon?"

Bai Yuhua snorted coldly, but Ma Chun didn't dare to say more, so he hurried down to make arrangements.

"Dad, aren't we waiting here? Didn't we say we were going to the north?"

The daughter was puzzled, but Bai Yuhua shook her head.

"Going to the north? That's death. What kind of good do you think Die Die is?"

"This guy is ruthless."

"Even if you go to the north, you will die."

Bai Yuhua directly rejected Die Die's proposal.

Regardless of whether the opponent succeeds or not, he will not be here, waiting to die.

"But leave here, what if Uncle Tie comes back?"

"Don't worry, as long as he comes back, he will find us!"

"Where are we going then?"

"Go south."

Bai Yuhua said firmly.

"South? Rob Nao?"

"Yes, that's where it is. Surrounded by the Gobi Desert, there are few people. It's where we hid."

The next day, early morning, the farm.

Yang Xiaotao went out after breakfast, and happened to meet the old horse wandering outside, so he went up to ask.

"Mr. Yang, how is your research? Do you want Red Willow?"

The old horse asked happily, since Yang Xiaotao asked the farmer to agree to find some red willows last time, this task has been handed over to the old horse.

Of course, Lao Ma didn't know why Yang Xiaotao wanted Red Willow, and he only regarded it as his own task, but it didn't prevent him from helping Yang Xiaotao.

Thanks to Yang Xiaotao's blessing, the wolf meat made the adults and children on the farm taste the taste of meat, and the peeled wolf skin also made this winter much warmer.

He was given a wolf fur. Although he was squeezed into the same bunk with Gao Yu, it also relieved Lao Han's legs.

"Just to study?" Yang Xiaotao said casually, "Old Ma, you are very familiar with the area around you."

In the past few days, he has experimented many times, from Populus euphratica to the roots of Populus euphratica, and then red willow, but Xiaowei was exhausted.

These require a lot of materials, so Lao Ma became his 'assistant', and went out to look for things when he was free.

Of course, there are some gains, but there is still a little more energy commonality between the two. Yang Xiaotao intends to study further and narrow the scope.

"Don't tell me, there is nothing within a radius of ten miles, I really know."

"This red willow, the locals call it a strange willow, because it grows very strangely, sometimes it looks like a mass of grass, and you can't tell which is the trunk and which is the branch."

Lao Ma is very good at storytelling, so he introduced it to Yang Xiaotao.

"Old Ma, what other plants are there besides tamarisk?"

"That's a lot, it looks like a tumbleweed, a thousand-year-old orchid, and there are some camel thorns in the west."

"This is a good thing..."

The old horse said that he didn't play, Yang Xiaotao couldn't help interrupting, saving time.

"You take some time to get me some back, I need to study it."

"Hey, don't worry, I remember."

The old horse patted his chest and promised, "However, Mr. Yang, you have been studying these for so many days, what are you going to do?"

"Well, it's okay to tell you, look at the saline-alkali land in this place."

Yang Xiaotao thought for a while, and after finishing his thoughts, Lao Ma's eyes widened and he muttered.

"Be good, I'll be good."

"You people with knowledge are just extraordinary. Not only dare to think, but you can also think, and you dare to do it. It's amazing, amazing."

The old horse sighed.

Immediately thinking of the logs for the fire, the old horse secretly glanced at Yang Xiaotao, a little flustered.

"Teacher Yang, if it succeeds, can the land here be planted with corn?"

"This, if successful, should be possible."

Yang Xiaotao couldn't guarantee it, so he could only speak vaguely.

Unexpectedly, Lao Ma seemed to be full of energy, "Mr. Yang, what else do you want, let's talk about it together."

"Uh, just a little more."

"Okay, when I come back from work, I'll find it for you."

"Not urgent!"

After bidding farewell to the old horse, Yang Xiaotao went back to the house to sort out the documents.

By the way, conduct secret research.

boom boom boom

The roar of horseshoes woke up the entire Gobi.

This is a cavalry team of more than 300 people, everyone on horseback, with long guns and short guns behind their backs, and mortars on horseback, moving forward with the team.

In the front, a man with a red face and wings on his head is holding a woman in his arms. The two are close to each other, very close.

Butterfly's body couldn't take it anymore after marching all night.

These years in the factory can be said to be pampered, and the body is not as good as before.

There was no choice but to be taken by Tie Ying, and the two rode together.

Fortunately, the two replaced their horses in time, but it did not slow down the speed of the team.

call...

Tie Ying pulled the reins, and the whole team stopped quickly.

"Gourd, where are you looking?"

Tie Ying carried Die Die off the horse and yelled at the man behind him.

Soon, a man in a sheepskin jacket ran over, took out a map from his pocket, and spread it on the ground.

At first glance, the map is hand-painted, very rough.

But in this vast Gobi, it is enough to mark the important positions.

"Gourd, where are we?"

"Second leader, we are in this area. Go ten miles further, there is a mountain depression with trees in it, we can go there and take shelter."

Tie Ying looked at the map and nodded with satisfaction.

It has been a day and a half since we left the valley. In order to prevent surprises and accidents, the whole team walked around day and night and took them around in a big circle.

Although it is slower, it is better to be safe. We will avoid the farms when we encounter them along the way. Fortunately, there are no patrols.

Things are going well with that.

"Where is our target?"

Calabash looked at the map, and finally pointed to the southeast, "According to intelligence, they should be here!"

Tie Ying frowned, if the surprise attack was wrong, it would be a surprise, and if the other party was prepared, it would be terrible.

"Xiaoying, can you confirm the location?"

"It's almost the same area, but we have to look at the specific farm."

Tie Ying frowned, the uncertainty of this kind of information was far worse than when she was attacking Xiao Guozi back then.

The common people back then were passing information overtly and secretly.

unfortunately
"According to our speed, we will set off this evening. After confirming the target, we will launch a surprise attack in the middle of the night, just like chopping up a little devil. We will end the battle and leave before dawn."

Tieying spoke out her plan, which was simple and practical.

"it is good!"

Immediately got on the horse, continued to move forward, and soon came to the secret place that the gourd said.

Rumble

The war horse was set up again, blowing past like a whirlwind, and quickly disappeared on the horizon.
