Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 35 Investigation
For the next three days, on the beach south of the camp, gunshots rang out every day.This is Wang Yuanfang and they are familiar with firearms.

The refugees gradually became familiar with this sound, and no one shouted "the general sent troops to arrest us" any more.

Sheng Haizhou and the other seven went to see it once, and they were all frightened by the power of this new type of bursting iron cannon.In particular, Jiuzang, who practiced martial arts most assiduously, realized that the knife in his hand was completely vulnerable to this kind of weapon, so wasn't his hard work these days in vain?
Zhao Xin didn't dare to let Sheng Haizhou and the others touch the guns yet.Who knows what will happen to these islanders after they get the powerful weapons, he still doesn't want to put his life on these people.

However, Zhao Xin knew that if Wang Yuanfang and the others continued to fight like this, the bullets would not be able to keep up.He only bought [-] rounds of rifle cartridges in total, and he had multiplied it by ten times.It seems that we have to go to the other side of the ocean again.

The most painful thing for people like Li Ji was the Chinese class that Zhao Xin opened on the third day after arriving.

Zhao Xin didn't dare to call more people. Counting the seven warriors, he only found twenty people to teach the class for the first time.He didn't have any textbooks in his hand, so he just stood in front of twenty people and opened his mouth.He first taught these people how to read their own names.

The lord is giving lessons, what an honor this is.The refugees were discussing this matter in private, and they were extremely envious of the thirteen people who were chosen extra.Most of these thirteen people were craftsmen.For example, carpenters, people who burn charcoal, those who can weave straw mats... There is no way, there are too few refugees now, and there are even fewer men, so Zhao Xin can only call those who can weave straw mats.

There is also Wan Zao's son, who Zhao Xin named Wan Haiyang.This made Wan Zao and his wife burst into tears, saying that they had never seen any feudal lord who would name the peasants below.

Zhao Xin laughed and scolded the two of them at the time and said, "It's really worthless. You are farmers, and you want your big-nosed son to be a farmer for the rest of his life?"

Wan Zao's wife stared at Zhao Xin and said, "Isn't this what it should be?"

Therefore, Wan Haiyang reluctantly gave up his unfettered life every day, and went to class with his father after breakfast every day.As long as he dares to sneak away, he will soon be beaten by Wan Zao's wife, and he will return to class with tears and snot.

As for A Miao, when Zhao Xin was in class, she was sitting on the side with the Duofu tabby cat in her arms, and followed her to study.

A few days later, Wang Yuanfang and the others wore all-terrain tactical camouflage uniforms every morning and started running in full gear.In order to save his life, Zhao Xin had to run with the weight together; after the exhausting run, he had to continue the class after breakfast.

However, after living such a regular life for several days in a row, Zhao Xin felt that his physical strength had improved a lot.

After eating every morning, Wang Yuanfang and the six of them started restorative military training. If there is a lack of venue equipment, Zhao Xin will arrange for a carpenter to do it. Anyway, the wood piled outside the camp is enough for them to toss.

The Spring Festival is almost over, Zhao Xin estimates that Yalha will come again before the first month.But if he wasn't prepared, it would be bad for him to hear the gunshots.

With Wang Yuanfang and the other six training in the camp every day, Zhao Xin decided to send someone out to investigate.He ordered Shigeru and Huji to bring two people with them, and at dawn the next morning, they set off from the camp to the west, and went all the way to [-] miles away to check them all.

The four people came back until it was dark that day, and they reported that they only found the footprints and horseshoe prints of Yalha along the way.

Zhao Xin was not at ease. At noon the next day, he released the drone to explore the whole island again.

Under Liu Sheng's operation, half an hour later, in the middle of Bear Island, in the northwest part, traces of fire were found, and even a grass hut made of branches was seen.

"Take a closer look and see." Wang Yuanfang, who was surrounded by them, said quickly.

Liu Sheng zoomed in on the camera and found that the empty hut was quite large, and could accommodate at least three or four people; the fire outside the hut had been extinguished, and only a piece of ashes remained.

"Isn't this where the hunters on the island lived?" Zhao Xin thought it was possible, but because of the language communication problem with Yalha, he probably couldn't ask why.

At this point, the whole island will be seen almost, and the battery of the drone is about to run out, so Liu Sheng had to take the drone back.

Wang Yuanfang watched Zhao Xin mark the location of the grass hut on the map, and then said to Zhao Xin, "Give me the map, and I'll take a few of them tomorrow to take a look. By the way, it's just a training session."

"Brother Wang, you have to be careful, there are bears on this island, maybe there are tigers and wild boars."

"Yeah, before Zhao Xin and I went to the island for the first time, we saw bears, two big two small four." Liu Sheng added quickly.

"Don't worry, let's bring guns. Everyone be careful along the way. This will have to be done sooner or later." Wang Yuanfang meant that he couldn't stay near this camp all the time, and it was time to go out and check the situation on the island.

Wang Yuanfang decided to let Ding Guofeng, Deng Fei, and Liu Sheng go with him to investigate the situation, and the others stayed behind, but the other two also went.

Yes, all on it.Zhao Xin told them not to shoot if possible, so as not to disturb the people in the fishing village in the north.

The six of them set off before dawn the next morning.

According to the map, they first walked more than five miles to the northeast, then went up a small hill to the northeast of the camp and followed the ridge of the hill to the north.The highest hill here is only more than 200 meters high, and going down from this hillside is where the grass shed was found yesterday.

When Wang Yuanfang and the others were going down the mountain, they slowed down.It has been uninhabited for a long time, and the forests on the hillside are very dense. Although it is winter now, the fir trees in a large area are still green.

The few of them have not performed tasks together for many years, and they have been away from the army for so long, and their cooperation is a little strange.Everyone came out together this time, but also to gradually regain the feeling and continue to run in again.

The six people were divided into two three-three groups, with Deng Fei, Wang Yuanfang and Liu Sheng on the left, Zhao Liang, Wu Siyu and Ding Guofeng on the right.

In Wang Yuanfang's group, Deng Fei was walking slightly ahead.Wang Yuanfang was five meters behind him on the left, and Liu Sheng was five meters behind on the right, so the three formed a herringbone inclined search formation.The purpose of this is to facilitate the left and right dispersion to find the target.In the event of an emergency, they will move closer to fight.Of course, if it was a two-person team, they would march in tandem.And Zhao Liang's group was ten meters away from Wang Yuanfang and the others.In this way, the two groups form a diagonal tactical team.

This is just a tactical formation in the cold temperate mountains and forests.If it is a glacial and snowy area, it is to move forward in a column, whether it is straight, diagonal or horizontal, it is also a line-like movement at an interval of five meters, so that they can echo each other.

Wang Yuanfang and the others were both nervous and excited at the moment.As a former soldier, they can finally take up the profession they love most.

At this moment, the most prominent Deng Fei suddenly squatted down and clenched his fist.The other five squatted down immediately.Deng Fei turned around slightly and gestured at everyone.

Everyone understands that the target has been found ahead.So after getting up, let go of your footsteps and slowly move towards the target
In the grass hut, Lu Shoushan was looking worriedly at Pan Xiucheng and his two children who were posing in front of him.Xu Funan was also ill and developed a high fever.

At noon yesterday, the four people who were cooking the fire accidentally saw a strange bird floating in the distance.The fleeing life these days has made them tremble, and if there is a slight disturbance, they will immediately hide and hide.

So Lu Shoushan hurriedly put out the fire with soil and hid in the grass hut. Later, when he saw the black strange bird flying towards their grass hut, Lu Shoushan took the other three and hid nearby. In a cramped rock cave.

They didn't get out of the cave until it was dark.

Pan Xiucheng has been ill for many days, and Lu Shoushan has nothing to do. All he can do is to pull out a lot of hay and spread it on Pan Xiucheng's body; he also found more dry branches and branches to keep the grass shed. The fire outside won't go out.

Xu Funan had his arm cut by a tree branch when they went to the fishing village to steal food the other night, and now it's swollen like a steamed bun.He has had a fever since the day before yesterday, and when he comes out of the cold cave, the fever will worsen.

As for his younger brother Xu Shonan, he stayed beside his brother and covered his forehead with his cold little hands.

"Uncle Lu, I'm hungry." Xu Shounan turned his head and said to Lu Shoushan eagerly.

The ginseng mustard seeds were eaten up before they came to the island.The four have survived these days with frozen fish and a small bag of sorghum stolen from the fishing village.And this thing, I ate it yesterday.

Lu Shoushan sighed and said to Xu Shounan, "Young Master Shounan, please hold on for a while. When it's getting dark, I'll go to the village to find something to eat for you."

After Lu Shoushan finished speaking, he turned his head and left the grass hut.He stood outside the grass hut, facing south, and knelt on the ground with a thud.Choked and said: "Master, Madam, I'm sorry for you."

And Xu Shounan in the grass hut heard Lu Shoushan's cry, ran out of the grass hut, threw himself on Lu Shoushan, and cried, "Uncle Lu, don't cry! I'm not hungry anymore, I'm not hungry anymore! "

Lu Shoushan wept and said, "Master Shounan, I'm sorry for you guys!"

When the two were hugging each other and crying, the surrounding leaves swayed, and along with the slight footsteps, six people suddenly flashed out from behind the tree, surrounding the grass hut and Lu Shoushan.

When Lu Shoushan heard the sound of the leaves, he raised his head suddenly, and saw several people in front of him wearing clothes he had never seen before, and their bodies were bulging; He was wearing a mask with only two eyes showing; in his hand he was holding a strange iron tool with a pipe opening facing him.
