Chapter 123 Little Poplar Post
After cattle and sheep graze here, their feces will naturally be discharged here.
In addition, burn the overgrown dry grass in autumn. This is a good fertilizer.
There are a few horses in the alfalfa field, and they all have full bellies, but none of them have saddles or reins.
Yang Geyong didn't wait for the little kid to speak, and he had already walked towards an extremely majestic looking horse. He grabbed the horse's mane and climbed on the horse's back!
The horse was obviously dissatisfied with being ridden by a stranger. It suddenly stood upright.
After just shaking it a few times and not getting rid of it, I let him go. A child doesn't have much weight anyway. It's more important to eat quickly.
The little kid turned around and walked towards a gray horse.
The horse seemed to know him. When he came closer, he nudged his body with his head. The little kid also quickly climbed on the horse's back and showed off to Ye Yuze:
"How do you see my mount?"
Ye Yuze glanced at the horse with mottled hair like a human's white head. He nodded.
"Well, it matches you very well!"
The little kidnapper grinned happily.
"Let's go to the outpost!"
Yang Geyong shouted and took the lead in riding towards the east.
Originally, Ye Yuze was still worried about how two people would control the horse without reins?
But seeing how carefree and content they looked, I shut up. It seemed like I was just a rookie!
Ye Yuze urged his horse to follow him and asked curiously:
"Whose horses do they belong to? Why did they run away by themselves?"
The little kid pointed at the mark on the horse's butt.
"Look at this, this is the mark that the owner has permed since he was a child. These are horses in the herd. Some of them are naughty and often slip out on their own.
Most of the time we go back at night. There are also some who don’t want to go back, so the owner will go out to look for them.”
Ye Yuze understood, these are all the best among horses!
Lightning is a very competitive guy. When he sees two strange companions, he starts comparing them.
It raised its head and hissed, and before Ye Yuze was ready, it took four hooves and started galloping on the grass.
Ye Yuze was a little panicked and cursed: "You only know how to win, but I don't know the way? Where are you taking me?"
Lightning obviously didn't care about his master's nagging. He continued to run!
After all, the horse Yang Geyong rode was extremely majestic. His physical strength was even better than that of lightning.
No matter how unwilling Lightning is to admit defeat, he is only a one-year-old pony. He really has no chance of winning against a mature horse.
I ran until I was foaming at the mouth. Seeing that I couldn't hold him back, I slowed down.
But when the two of them turned around, they found that the little kidnapper was gone.
Ye Yuze wanted to go back and look for him. Yang Geyong shook his head.
"His horse is slow, so there is no need to look for it. He will catch up in a moment."
Sure enough, ten minutes later, the little kidnapper followed up at a trot on the miscellaneous horse.
The pace was neither hurried nor slow. If you couldn't see the appearance and just look at the speed, you might have mistaken it for a donkey.
The little kid was very happy, "How about it? My mount is good, isn't it? You can't pull me down!"
Ye Yuze's head was covered with black lines. "Isn't this considered a fall? Do we have to wait for a long time?"
The three of them rode for more than an hour. A company appeared in their eyes.
It is very easy to distinguish between the corps and localities. The corps all built row houses, while the localities all built small courtyards like those in rural areas.
Moreover, the houses in the corps are all made of bricks, while most of the houses in the local area are made of dry bases or adobe houses.
"Which company is this? Is it from our regiment?"
Ye Yuze looked at the company curiously and asked.
Yang Geyong nodded. "They are from our group. They are from the Mu First Team!"
Ye Yuze then understood that this area was all pasture with no crops. It seemed to be a pastoral area.
The three people did not enter the camp of the first herding team. Instead, they went around and headed east.
There is no road here anymore. Only the occasional ruts in the grass can tell that this is a road.
On the way, Ye Yuze saw a tent. This kind of tent was made of canvas. It was obviously different from the Kazakh yurt.
The yurt is round, but this tent is indeed square.
The little kid curled his lips. "The tent of the first team is too simple. It's not as good as the yurt in Hasa!"
At this time, a man came out of the tent and saw the three of them waving.
"Don't go forward. We're at the border!"
The three people ignored him and sped up in a flash.
It didn't take long this time. Ye Yuze saw several buildings in the distance.
The most conspicuous ones are the two two-story sentry posts. The entire lower part of the sentry post on the other side of the river is welded together with iron frames.
There is a platform above the iron frame, and there is a wooden house on the platform. The wooden house is surrounded by platforms with railings.
On the other side of the river, there is a two-story building made of bricks. The bottom floor is square and the upper floor is round.
The round house is also surrounded by a circle of observation towers.
"This side is ours. The other side is from neighboring countries!"
The little kidnapper hurriedly introduced him to Ye Yuze.
Ye Yuze rolled his eyes at him. "I'm not blind! There are people on guard above!"
The little kid scratched his head in embarrassment. Yang Geyong laughed.
A heavily armed soldier stood on the second floor of the outpost. They stood facing each other.
It's just that the People's Liberation Army soldiers held guns in both hands and kept standing at attention.
But the soldier on the opposite side was slouching, leaning against the wooden house, lazily looking at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
"They can't even stand in a military posture!"
Yang Geyong also muttered disdainfully.
Ye Yuze was a little disappointed. There were no bunkers, trenches, tanks or artillery in his imagination. There were just a few houses.
At this time Yang Geyong interjected again. "We built this outpost together!"
There are several houses below the outpost. In the open space of the houses, several People's Liberation Army soldiers are doing exercises.
There was a mound not far from them. In front of the mound stood a stone tablet.
Ye Yuze got off his horse and walked over. This stone tablet was irregular, just a large piece of stone chiseled into a flat surface.
There are several large characters engraved on it: "Sun... the tomb of the martyr!"
Ye Yuze walked over and bowed silently three times. Every era has its own heroes. The soldiers of the Corps shed more than just sweat in order to build and defend the borders of the motherland.
As time goes by, most people will be forgotten. But how can a Corps member forget his comrades?
Yang Geyong and Xiao Guaizi also bowed several times.
The soldiers not far away saw the actions of these children. They all stood at attention and saluted!
They are regular People's Liberation Army soldiers and do not belong to the Corps.
But they understand that the ones who are really closest to them and can support them at all costs have always been the seniors of these corps!
What Ye Yuze didn't know was that this was the Little Poplar Outpost in later generations. It was just that the poplar trees had not been planted at that time.
Most people in future generations will sing that song. But how many of them know the story in it?
