The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Therefore, Yang Dalin was extremely careful, not at all.

Yang Dalin has the personality of Lao Liu; no matter how powerful he is, he won't be irresponsible about his own life.

Having space and ability means you need to be more careful, not reckless. As readers who have played PUBG know, never be reckless. If you don't be reckless, you can still win. But if you are reckless, you'll be the one who dies quickly.

Therefore, Yang Dalin would be extra careful in everything he did.

We should cherish life.

After setting up the warning bells, Yang Dalin even tested them himself.

Sure enough, once the rope was touched from the outside of the vehicle, the bell inside the vehicle's rim would ring.

Seeing that the thing was indeed useful, Yang Dalin went back to help everyone.

Some people pitched tents, some cooked, and some started fires; everyone did their job.

Yang Dalin first helped set up the main structure of the tent before coming to the fire to help with the cooking.

The leftover fish scraps from lunch were cleaned with warm water.

Jiang Hongjun also asked him how he planned to prepare the fish offal.

Yang Dalin said, "Didn't I already say it's stir-fried fish offal?"

Jiang Hongjun: "Dalinzi really cooked it! Don't tell me you brought oil with you?"

Yang Dalin smiled and took out another small jar from his satchel.

Upon opening it, it was indeed filled with solidified lard.

Jiang Hongjun said enviously, "Dalinzi, your family really cares about you."

"I can even bring you lard when I go on business trips."

As Yang Dalin scooped some lard into the pot with a small spoon, he said, "That's right, my family treats me very well, after all, I'm the only male in the family."

Yang Dalin deliberately portrayed his aunt as someone who favored sons over daughters to avoid arousing suspicion.

Actually, these weren't prepared by Aunt Qi; they were all signed in by Yang Dalin.

A small pot was used for stir-frying fish offal, while Yang Dalin used a large pot to cook fish soup.

There was also grilled fish on the side, as well as food that everyone had brought themselves.

There were cornbread, steamed buns, and a few dumplings that people had brought from home.

Finally, everyone sat down together and brought out various pickled vegetables, chili sauces, and other food that they had prepared at home, and they ate together.

Various flavors are available.

It was a simple get-together, and the food was quite good.

Yang Dalin tried several flavors of pickled vegetables, and they tasted pretty good.

Tian and the others each drank some of the alcohol they brought with them.

On such a cold day, having a little wine to warm up is a good idea.

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone chatted around the fire for a while.

They then laid out their bedding rolls in the tents. Yang Dalin's original position was in the very center of the tent.

He changed it, moving it to a spot on the side.

I know everyone is taking care of him and letting him sleep in the middle because he feels more secure there.

They won't be woken up by the person next to them who gets up in the middle of the night to take night duty.

However, Yang Dalin thanked everyone and explained that he chose a spot on the side because he was worried about any danger at night and wanted to be able to get out immediately.

With so many people sleeping in one big tent, the snoring inside at night must be incredibly loud.

I feel a little better sleeping next to you.

Inside the tent, the ground was first covered with a thick layer of dry straw.

Then another layer of waterproof tarpaulin was laid out, and then everyone's bedding rolls were laid out.

At night, people simply take off their coats and cotton shoes, and some even sleep with their cotton shoes on, just in case there is an emergency at night and they don't have time to put their shoes back on.

Most of the drivers were former soldiers, and they were all able to endure hardship.

I'm on the night shift tonight, but because of Yang Dalin's contributions during the day, he wasn't scheduled for the night shift.

If nothing else is happening, Yang Dalin can sleep until dawn.

To avoid being disturbed by other people's snoring, Yang Dalin decided to fall asleep first.

Otherwise, the snoring in the tent will start soon, and I probably won't be able to fall asleep.

Yang Dalin didn't even take off his shoes. He just took off his military overcoat and covered it with the quilt before hiding under the covers. Although it was uncomfortable to sleep in a cotton-padded jacket and trousers, he had no choice.

Yang Dalin unbuttoned two buttons on his cotton-padded jacket, otherwise it would be even more uncomfortable to sleep later.

Everyone placed their long and short guns next to the blankets, so they could grab them at any time.

Yang Dalin also put the gun under the blanket, but he put it into his spatial storage after everyone could no longer see it.

To prevent the bolt from freezing due to the cold at night.

Before long, Yang Dalin fell asleep while everyone was talking.

Everyone saw that Yang Dalin had fallen asleep, so the chatter quieted down, and one by one they all went to sleep.

Yang Dalin was suddenly awakened in the middle of the night.

Looking around, I finally realized where I was.

Yang Dalin felt the urge to urinate, perhaps because he had drunk too much fish soup that night.

He also overheard the voices of his colleagues on night duty outside; the two of them were chatting quietly by the fire.

Yang Dalin quietly got up, put on his coat, and carefully walked out of the tent.

Luckily, I sleep on the very edge, otherwise I'd have to be careful not to step on my colleague when I pee at night.

As soon as Yang Dalin stepped out of the tent, he slung his gun behind his back.

Hearing the noise, the colleague on duty by the fire outside the tent whispered, "Who's there?"

Yang Dalin replied in a low voice, "I, Yang Dalin, woke up needing to pee."

Is everything alright?

The colleague on duty replied, "It's nothing, Dalinzi. Wrap yourself up in your coat. Don't catch a cold from just getting out of bed."

Yang Dalin replied, "Okay, I'm going to pee over there. You guys warm yourselves by the fire."

Even at night, Yang Dalin could see clearly from a short distance, and they wanted to hand him a flashlight.

Yang Dalin refused.

After escaping the encirclement of vehicles, Yang Dalin found a breezy spot and, having just finished urinating, felt something was amiss.

Yang Dalin pulled up his trousers and strode to the earthen slope on the north side of the campsite.

The reason for choosing this hill was that it could block the cold winds from the north.

Yang Dalin focused his attention and observed his surroundings. Damn it, there were dark shadows approaching in the distance where he couldn't see clearly.

There were quite a few of them; they were probably a pack of wolves.

They came from all directions; this wolf pack must be quite large.

It seems they've got their eyes on our convoy.

Yang Dalin glanced at his watch; it was already past 2 a.m.

Yang Dalin walked quickly down the slope and approached his colleagues on night duty. One of them was Captain Xiao, the head of the security department: "Captain Xiao, there's something going on."

"Quickly wake everyone up! There are wolves coming from all around."

Captain Xiao hurriedly stood up and asked, "Are you sure?"

Why don't I feel anything?

Yang Dalin didn't have time to explain, after all, it was their first mission together.

If he were his own team leader, he would definitely trust him immediately.

Because it has been proven on several occasions that what Yang Dalin said was correct.

Yang Dalin could only hurriedly say, "Absolutely no mistake, Captain Xiao. I wouldn't be idly teasing everyone."

I had a feeling of being watched, like the kind of situation people in the military described where you can sense danger just by having someone point a gun at you.

Trust me, hurry up! They're all around us, far away, but they haven't gotten close yet. Let's get ready quickly, or it'll be too late once the wolves get close.

Captain Xiao, you're an expert at arranging the guards. I'll go to the hill behind and seize the high ground.

If the wolves get too close, I'll fire first to try and find and kill the alpha wolf; otherwise, we'll be in big trouble tonight.

Captain Xiao realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately nodded in agreement.

Send Yang Dalin to the mound.

He asked another colleague to wake everyone up. He also wanted to go and observe the situation himself with a flashlight.
