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

Yang Dalin, his security guard colleagues, and Brother Tian had only taken a few steps when they encountered two dark figures.

A flashlight was pointed at the other side, then turned off.

They probably heard the commotion and came to check.

"Old Tian, ​​Little Yang, what's wrong?" It was Captain Xiao from the security department's voice.

Tian Xueyi said directly, "Old Xiao, Da Linzi heard some noise in the distance, a lot of people."

Before Captain Xiao could speak, another burly man spoke up: "Comrade Tian, ​​are you sure?"

Yang Dalin said directly, "I'm sure. Captain Xiao, you know my abilities. Would I joke about something like this?"

Captain Xiao knew a thing or two about Yang Dalin's abilities.

He quickly spoke up in support: "Captain Jing, Comrade Xiao Yang does indeed have special abilities."

He's right.

Since we haven't heard any sound, we can follow the direction he indicated and take a look.

Let's double-check first, then wake everyone up.

Captain Jing carefully examined Yang Dalin and then Captain Xiao in the darkness.

"Alright, let's go check it out, the four of us. Comrade Yang, can you be sure there are people in several directions?"

Yang Dalin lay on the ground, pretending to listen and confirm, his ear pressed against the ground. After listening for a while without getting up, he said, "Besides the riverbank to the north, people are coming from the other three directions."

There were at least several dozen people.

Captain Jing knew that some people had good hearing.

If you put your ear close to the ground, you can hear vibrations from a great distance.

For example, people used to be able to put their ears to the ground and hear the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

This situation is not uncommon.

Captain Jing was impressed by Yang Dalin's certainty.

He quickly instructed, "Captain Xiao, you take one person west, and I'll take Comrade Xiao Yang south."

Another comrade from the security department led Master Tian eastward.

We'll go ahead and conduct covert reconnaissance. Don't use flashlights, and don't let the other side discover your presence.

Once you've confirmed there are people around, check their numbers and whether they have any weapons, then immediately return.

Whoever returns first should wake everyone up and immediately arrange for everyone to be armed and on guard.

"Whether to fire or not awaits my order."

"good,"

"good,"

"it is good"

After three consecutive "good"s, the others immediately went in other directions.

Yang Dalin was followed by Captain Jing, who immediately contacted the sentry on the south side before heading forward.

Covert reconnaissance would certainly not involve using flashlights or taking main roads.

However, after walking a few hundred meters ahead, Captain Jing did see a group of dark figures on the road in the distance, silently walking towards the convoy.

Captain Jing said softly, "Good lad, you can hear the noise from this far away, not bad."

Can you see what's going on with them?

Yang Dalin could see it clearly, but he still humbly said, "It's alright, although it's still a bit blurry."

But my eyesight is still pretty good.

They could be seen to have few weapons, and there were both men and women; they seemed to be a group of disaster victims.

There are no very young children, but there are also children who are half-grown.

There were two long spears, and some people were carrying sticks, hoes, shovels, iron shovels, and the like.

Some people walk unsteadily, looking like they might fall at any moment.

They looked like a group of starving disaster victims.

Captain Jing opened his eyes wide and looked carefully, but he couldn't see it very clearly himself.

However, the matter was urgent.

He quickly said, "Are you sure you're not mistaken? Two muskets, and the rest are sticks and tools. Are they disaster victims?"

"The weapons look real, but it's hard to say whether they're actually disaster victims."

I suspect they might be coming for us.

Besides our team, what else is here?

Further north is a small river.

"Who knows, they might just be starving and want to steal something from us."

"If they are criminals, we can just shoot them. But if they are disaster victims, we'll be in trouble and have to go back immediately."

Walk."

Yang Dalin and Captain Jing immediately bent down and ran back.

They quickly ran back, covering a distance of several hundred meters.

As they approached the security guard station on duty, Captain Jing spoke first, then shouted out a pre-arranged password.

Otherwise, if the person on duty can't see clearly and fires a shot, they would be unjustly killed.

Captain Jing instructed the security personnel on duty to wake everyone up immediately.

Tell them to keep quiet and take all their weapons.

According to the location of the vehicles, immediately move forward 20 meters and set up a guard and protection formation.

Leave one driver in each car. When one of them fires a shot into the air, everyone should immediately turn on the headlights to illuminate the road ahead.

At this time, Tian Xueyi and Captain Xiao also returned one after another.

Captain Xiao reported: "Captain Jing, fifteen people have come from the west, and they look like they have a long gun."

Other things like sticks, and iron shovels.

Tian Xueyi also reported: "Captain Jing, there are also sixteen men on the east side, each with a long gun."

Similar to the west side, this group of people approached us quietly without saying a word.

Captain Jing quickly explained the situation in the south: "The situation in the south is similar to yours, but Comrade Xiao Yang confirmed that there are two muskets in the south, and they look like a group of disaster victims."

There are also many shovels, hoes, and other production tools.

They're probably targeting our convoy.

Captain Xiao, you stay inside the vehicle encirclement and take command.

Comrade Xiao Yang and I moved forward twenty meters.

I'll fire a shot into the air in a moment to intimidate them.

The convoy turned on all the vehicle headlights to illuminate the road ahead.

"You all stay behind and keep watch. Do not fire without my order."

Then Captain Jing said to a burly man who suddenly appeared on the other side, "Li Weiguo, you three protect your target and do not leave the vehicle encirclement."

Do not approach.

If anyone dares to charge at you in the chaos, I authorize you to open fire.

One of the guards who had been following the three middle-aged men said, "Yes, Captain."

Then this person just turned around and left.

Yang Dalin and Captain Jing walked out of the vehicle encirclement and forward about twenty meters.

Yang Dalin lay prone behind a small earthen mound.

Captain Jing hid behind a tree and looked up at the dark distance.

I didn't see any people in the distance, so they probably haven't arrived yet.

That group of people did walk quite slowly.

They looked like a group of starving disaster victims.

Captain Jing sent two of his men to the east and west sides respectively.

He suddenly wanted to talk to Yang Dalin.

Captain Jing stared into the pitch-black night and asked, "Comrade Yang, are you nervous?"

Yang Dalin chuckled lightly, indicating that he was relaxed, and said, "Don't worry, Captain Jing, I'm young, but I've been through a lot."

Captain Jing then added, "Really, Xiao Yang? I heard from your Captain Wang that you're a very good shot. You shot dozens of wolves at night, and even chased after them in a car?"

"No, no, Captain Wang is exaggerating, but my marksmanship is indeed quite good."

"Really? Good enough to be paired with an SKS and an AK?"

I only have a 5.5-6.5 bag.

You're better equipped than me, kid.

They have AKs.

Are you good at recoil control?

If you were asked to hit their gun barrel in the dark, you wouldn't say you couldn't, would you?
