Ma Rong's eyes lit up and she nodded: "Okay, let's go now. Let's talk to my dad now and borrow two horses by the way."
The two girls were more decisive. They immediately put on their coats and went to the platoon leader to ask for leave, and then rode their horses to walk towards the Second Company. It was almost April, but it was still snowing heavily in the northern Xinjiang. However, there was still a road between the companies. Although it was simple, it was still fine to ride a horse.
They are already fourteen years old, and adults will no longer restrict them as strictly. So they often go to other companies to play on holidays. However, because the second company is far away, they have never been there. In addition, Yang Geyong has never come back since work, so they have never met.
After riding for more than three hours, the two men arrived at the Second Company. But after asking, they found out that Yang Geyong was still raising pigs a few kilometers away. The two men had to get on the horse again to find him.
This section of the road is not easy to walk, or to be precise, there should be no road. The two of them had to follow the direction they pointed out, and they ignored what was under their feet. Anyway, even if there was a river, they would have been frozen long ago.
When they arrived at Wei Quanyou's house, the two girls were almost frozen. Aunt Liu Hao heard that it was the Infrastructure Company who came to find Yang Geyong, so she quickly let them into the house to bring hot water.
"Yang Geyong and your Uncle Wei went on patrol and would not come back for lunch." Liu Hao explained to them.
Ma Rong was a little curious: "Don't he raises pigs here? Why did he go on patrol?"
Liu Haoxiao smiled: "This is my old Wei's habit. When there is no snow, he drives pigs and cows to walk on the border every day. When there is snow, cows and pigs have nothing to eat when they go out, so he goes on a walk by himself. It seems that he is more concerned about patrol than raising pigs."
At this time, Wei Quanyou and Yang Geyong were in high tension because they found that two lines of footprints led to the boundary line. Old Wei took off the gun on his back and held it in his hand, and his feet began to accelerate in the direction of the footprints.
Yang Geyong also held the gun in his hand and followed Uncle Wei with some excitement to speed up his pace. Have you really encountered a spy? This is Yang Geyong's ideal since childhood, to catch a spy and have fun.
The snow is very deep and it is not fast. However, because Wei Quanyou is familiar with the road, he specializes in picking up the shallow areas and takes a shortcut. Finally, two figures appeared in front of them, and were trekking in the snow.
Wei Quanyou didn't say anything, but made a gesture to Yang Geyong, and the two separated and encircled the two from both sides. Soon, they appeared in front of them.
Seeing two soldiers with live ammunition appear in front of them, the two looked panicked and pulled out their knife and shouting something. Old Wei couldn't understand and looked at Yang Geyong.
Yang Geyong also shouted a few words and said to Lao Wei: "They said they were from Kazakhstan, and they came here when they got lost."
Wei Quanyou frowned: "Don't listen to their nonsense, take them to the border station. Then they will tell the truth."
Yang Geyong repeated Lao Wei's words to the two people. The two were obviously reluctant and refused to move. Lao Wei directly raised his gun and opened the insurance. If the two people dared to run, he would really be able to shoot.
Yang Geyong also turned on the insurance and righteousness and shouted: "Come with us quickly and be reviewed, otherwise we will treat you as spies."
The two hesitated for a while, but in the end they were afraid of the black guns, and Yang Geyong and others pressed to the outpost. There were several soldiers on duty there.
When he arrived at the outpost, there was a warrior who was a Kazakh. Under his interrogation, the two told the truth. It turned out that they were really from the opposite side, but they also belonged to the people. One of them had relatives here, and they brought tasks to instigate them. If he could complete the task, he would get the bonus.
This kind of thing must be handed over to the superiors, and the two soldiers directly pressed them to the border station. The platoon leader on duty gave Wei Deyou a standard military salute:
"Thank you for helping us catch the spy again. On behalf of all our comrades, I would like to pay tribute to you!"
Several soldiers also saluted the same, not only to Wei Quanyou, but also to Yang Geyong. Yang Geyong was full of pride in his heart at this time, and he returned the favor with a good look.
As the two walked back, Yang Geyong asked, "Uncle Wei, do you often catch spies?"
Wei Quanyou smiled: "Where do you get so many spies? But every year I meet people on the border. This is true. Some herders accidentally let sheep pass the boundary and must be stopped. Otherwise, once they are discovered by the other party, they will shoot."
"Then have you ever encountered a spy with a gun? How do you deal with it?" Yang Geyong was still curious. Today's incident was a little exciting, which made him excited.
Wei Quanyou nodded: "It must have been encountered. The border guard patrols are all separated, and some spies will also lurk on the border line and will cross the border when they pass."
Yang Geyong nodded. It was not until now that he understood why Uncle Wei was patrolling like this without any obstacles, and suddenly he no longer felt repulsive of this profession.
When he returned home, he was also very happy to see Ma Rong and Yu Lan and Yang Geyong. Uncle Wei’s children were all in the league headquarters, and only his youngest son was in the company but he didn’t come back often. It would be strange if Yang Geyong was not alone.
Aunt Liu Hao was also very enthusiastic and started cooking before they came back. Today's dishes were a bit hearty, not only beef stewed with potatoes, but also mushrooms stewed with chickens. These mushrooms were picked up by Uncle Wei on the grass during his patrol in summer. They were dried. Stewed meat is a delicacy.
It was getting late after several people. Uncle Wei thought for a while and said to Yang Geyong: "You can send them back and go home by the way. You are a baby who has never been back since work. Don't your mother miss you?"
Speaking of this, he went to another room to get some dried mushrooms. "You can share some of this for your family and the others for Ye Wancheng. I haven't seen you for a long time, and I really miss him."
Yang Geyong nodded. His life over the past few months has made his personality much calmer. He, who never knew he missed home, also began to miss his family.
In fact, his work is relatively free than that of the people in the company. Just tell Uncle Wei if you have something to do, and you don’t have to ask for leave from the company anymore. However, he never went home except for going back for the Chinese New Year.
On the way back, Ma Rong asked Yang Geyong: "Did you go to find Ye Yuze with Zhao Linger? Is he okay there?"
When Yang Geyong mentioned this, he felt a little complicated. He didn't dare to think about what his brother did. He didn't understand what clothing or foreign exchange coupons he had. But he knew one thing. Ye Yuze was a man who did big things, and he could never compare to this.
