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

Comrade Xiao Wan's injuries were too severe. Although he was rescued, he could not be transferred to a major hospital in Beijing immediately.

Otherwise, we could have just covered him with a white cloth and pretended that Comrade Xiao Wan was gone, and sent him directly to a major hospital in Beijing for care.

Fortunately, many of the hospitals in Pingchang County are staffed by former military doctors, and many have experience treating gunshot wounds.

Who could blame us when so many soldiers in our country suffered gunshot wounds in previous years?

That's why the doctors in Pingchang County were able to save Comrade Xiao Wan so easily.

The main reason is that they have a lot of experience.

Moreover, Comrade Xiao Wan is in good physical condition.

People today are generally much healthier than people in future generations.

It is very resilient.

Let alone being shot twice, even if you were shot several times, and were only sent for emergency treatment after the battle, there were still many people who survived.

After leaving the city, Qi Desheng's three cars, seeing that no one was around, drove directly to the back of a hillside by the roadside, where the convoy hid for a while.

We went straight back to the county town that night.

No rush, let's go back to Beijing now.

Because Yang Dalin doesn't know if he'll need the car that night.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Moreover, Tian Xueyi also said that he would not return to Beijing for the time being, as he needed to stay and take care of his injuries and Comrade Xiao Wan.

I kept it from my family for now, telling them I was on a business trip.

Don't tell your family first.

We'll tell his family once his injury has healed sufficiently.

Qi Desheng could understand Tian Xueyi's actions.

If he gets injured, he will keep it from his family first.

It was evening soon, and Yang Dalin finished his dinner early and took a nap at the police station.

He waited until it was completely dark around 8 p.m. before arriving at the rendezvous point the spy had mentioned.

Summer nights fall late and come early, making it difficult to hide.

This location was chosen brilliantly.

A dilapidated and deserted Taoist temple on the outskirts of Xixian County, Pingchang.

Moreover, this Taoist temple is all alone on the mountainside.

There are no other neighboring courtyards nearby.

Arriving too early makes it too easy to be spotted.

Even now, if we come at night, everyone keeps their distance.

Yang Dalin does not allow anyone to approach.

Because the area around the Taoist temple is open and unobstructed, except for some weeds.

There are bound to be a lot of mosquitoes in the grass in summer. If you hide there, you don't know how long you'll be feeding on mosquitoes.

It's really not advisable to get close. If the spies who came to make contact discover us, things will get complicated.

So if you stay far away, you don't have to worry about swatting the mosquitoes off your body.

Add to that Yang Dalin's abnormal eyesight.

He believed he had nothing to be ashamed of.

Before the contact person arrived, Yang Dalin suddenly heard that Qi Desheng and Tian Xueyi had arrived.

Yang Dalin said, "Master, you should go back and recover from your injuries."

You're injured, what are you doing here? There are lots of mosquitoes and it's hot.

Go back now, otherwise I'll have to take care of you.

Qi Desheng also said, "That's right, we told you not to come, but you insisted. What are you doing here as a patient? Go back."

Yang Dalin glanced at Qi Desheng again and said, "Brother Sheng, what are you doing here? You're a leader, why aren't you in the central command? Are you here to feed mosquitoes?"

If you two can't sleep, go back and keep an eye on my brother Wan.

"Don't cause trouble here."

Captain Li Guoqiang was lying next to Yang Dalin when he heard him mocking his leader, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Qi Desheng glared in the dark, not caring whether others could see him: "Back in the day, I was a guy who slaughtered white pigs in North Korea seven times and came out seven times."

"Can't I even come and take a look?"

Yang Dalin was both amused and exasperated: "Yes, you really did kill the white pig seven times in and out."

But now it's possible that only one contact person will come.

There will be no more than two or three people.

We now have more than twenty soldiers here.

There's really no need for you to just wait here.

If we find people, we won't necessarily arrest them directly; we'll track them down to their hideout.

You guys aren't really of much use here.

Seriously, you should take Brother Tian back with you.

He shouldn't have gotten dirty from sweat getting into his wound.

I won't see you two off.

Qi Desheng realized that he could not threaten his subordinates.

Yang Dalin complained again, so he pulled Tian Xueyi aside and said, "Let's go. Look how much your apprentice is complaining about us."

Don't waste time here.

Go back to the police station and wait. We'll check the car; that way, we can help with logistical support if they need it.

Tian Xueyi said, "Alright, let's go back first."

Go check the vehicle.

I waited until after midnight.

Yang Dalin then realized that the other party had arrived.

Only one person came.

Yang Dalin whispered to Li Guoqiang next to him, "Brother Qiang, tell everyone to hide and not make a sound."

The person has arrived.

Li Guoqiang looked up at the pitch-black surroundings and whispered, "Are you sure?"

I didn't hear anything.

Yang Dalin said, "I'm sure, Brother Qiang, you don't need to doubt my hearing. My hearing is much better than yours."

Li Guoqiang quickly signaled to his subordinates.

Tell everyone to hide well and not make a sound.

Yang Dalin's gaze followed the other person's figure closely.

Although it was called a rendezvous, the other party clearly had no intention of meeting the two spies.

The two spies told them the rendezvous time was 2 a.m.

This person arrived at noon.

They were carrying a bag of grain on their backs, clearly believing they had truly completed their mission.

The compensation given.

Moreover, this person left the things but didn't stay long before leaving.

Yang Dalin told Captain Li Guoqiang, "Brother Qiang, the other party came with something, put it down, and left. Have Deputy Captain Liang take some men to continue guarding for a while."

Then, after 2:30, when no one came, they asked Deputy Captain Liang to go and check.

I went to meet that person, while you and your men trailed far behind me.

Stay away from me.

I will leave you the marks we agreed on during the day along the way.

Don't get too close to me.

Otherwise, if the enemy discovers us, all our efforts will be in vain.

Li Guoqiang: "Okay, be careful and keep an eye on me."

"Okay, no problem. You can follow me five minutes after I leave."

Don't make too much noise.

After saying that, Yang Dalin went straight after the person who had distributed the grain.

This person looks like an old farmer.

Yang Dalin followed him from a distance, and he was aware that he had taken counter-surveillance actions.

It seems he is undoubtedly a spy, otherwise why would a farmer do such a thing?

Unfortunately, Yang Dalin was far enough away from him.

He couldn't find Yang Dalin at all.

Yang Dalin noticed that the other party came to a corner of the outskirts of the county town and pretended to urinate under a telephone pole at the entrance of an alley, but he quickly drew a line on the telephone pole.

Then he threw away the pebbles in his hand, shook them off, pulled up his pants, and left.

Damn, there are still people up there.

The person who delivered the grain had a superior.

He had already guessed that Old Ghost wouldn't be so easy to catch.

Yang Dalin wondered if this old ghost wasn't just one person, but a group of people, an organization.

This utility pole needs to be guarded; I wonder when the guy who's supposed to be marking it will come.

The guy who just made the mark wants to come along too.

Yang Dalin did not make any moves for the time being.

After Captain Li Guoqiang caught up, he told him to leave a few people behind to take turns watching the utility pole.

He continued to track down the person he had just met.
