? The moon was dark and the wind was high, and I couldn't turn on my flashlight, so I had to fumble through the overgrown woods.

Xiang Tianliang put on the night vision goggles, but Yu Zhonghao snatched them away and stuffed them into his bag, "You are crazy, there will be reflections!"

We have been walking for nearly an hour, and after passing through Fangjia Village, we are left with these hilly areas. The slopes are not steep, but they are covered with shrubs and weeds, and there is no road at all.

Among the three people, Yu Zhonghao had been nearby in the afternoon and was relatively familiar with it, so he shouldered the responsibility of opening the way without any hesitation.

From Fangjia Village to Fangjia Courtyard, there is about three miles of road, which is a gradually rising hillside. In fact, it is more than three miles. If you walk along the mountain, the road is not straight. Yu Zhonghao, who led the way, was very cautious, but he ended up in a ditch.

The march made it more difficult to go up the mountain, and Xiang Tianliang was so angry that he cursed in his heart.

Shao Sanhe was even more tired from walking. He followed Xiang Tianliang. On his back was the canvas bag brought by Yu Zhonghao. It was very heavy. It was obviously a heavy weapon. The smugglers at sea all used mini submachine guns, and the policemen carried them.

Pistols are not only shabby, but can also easily lead to death.

Late at night in early summer, the breeze blows on my face and the insects hum. Unfortunately, the sky is covered with dark clouds, making the night even darker.

Finally, Yu Zhonghao in front fell down.

"We're here." Xiang Tianliang lay down next to Yu Zhonghao.

After Shao Sanhe also lay down, Yu Zhonghao pointed forward and whispered: "In a straight line, five or six hundred meters away is the Fang family compound!"

Xiang Tianliang cursed: "Fang family old man, why did you build the farmhouse in such a place!"

"You don't understand this. Before liberation, there were many bandits in Qinghe, and they all came from the sea. The Fang family compound was built on the mountain, which is the most effective against pirates!"

Xiang Tianliang was happy, "We are not pirates, we are land bandits!"

"Sanhe, what do you think?" Yu Zhonghao asked.

"In front of us, there should be a small basin in the mountains. There are rice fields in the small basin. On the way we came, it was difficult to walk empty-handed. From this, we can infer that there should be a way up the mountain, otherwise we would not be able to transport production materials and harvests.

agricultural products, and there must be a pond somewhere opposite, otherwise it would be impossible to grow rice!"

Yu Zhonghao praised: "As expected of a scout from the army, he can observe the terrain clearly!"

Shao Sanhe continued: "It is said that the Fang family's courtyard is built on a hillock in the valley, so it has an excellent view. The large rice fields in front are within the observation range. In other words, if the Fang family's courtyard is

There is an ambush in the courtyard, and this rice field is the most dangerous area!"

Xiang Tianliang was very disapproving, "You two, don't be alarmist and scare yourselves. If there's no one inside, then aren't you just wasting your breath?"

Yu Zhonghao ignored Xiang Tianliang's nagging. He had his own style of doing things. Moreover, he was not willing to be "led" by Xiang Tianliang and unknowingly took over for him.

"Let me talk about the terrain. Sanhe is basically right. The location we are at is the highest point along the way. Below is a steep slope. The slope is more than 100 meters long and more than 70 meters high. The slope is more than 70 meters high.

After the steep slope, there is the edge of the small basin in the mountains. In front of it is the rice field. This rice field is about 500 meters long and 300 meters wide, with a total of more than 200 acres. This is the only fragrant rice in Qinghe.

It is said that the fragrant rice grown in the paddy field was given as tribute to the emperor. There is only a 1.5-meter-wide dirt road in the middle of this paddy field area. It is the only road leading to the Fang family compound. After passing the paddy field area,

It is an open space, and there is a grain drying field in the past, and then there are two roads leading to the Fang family compound, one is a slope road, the slope is more than fifty meters long, and the other is a step road, with a total of 123 steps!"

Xiang Tianliang asked: "Zhonghao, to get to the Shang family compound, you must pass through these two roads!"

"Yes, the mound is more than thirty meters higher than the grain drying field. It is surrounded by cliffs, and they are almost at a negative angle. The mound is like a mushroom, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, unless you can fly up!"

Xiang Tianliang sighed: "***, it turns out that the landlords are also smart people!"

"The mound is a piece of land about 200 meters long and 130 meters wide, covering an area of ​​more than 40 acres. There are two walls in the Fang family courtyard. The first one is on the edge of the cliff surrounding the mound.

It is about 1.5 meters high. There is a second wall inside, which is 3.3 meters high. Inside the second wall is the real Fang family courtyard. I don’t know the specific structure inside. We can only take one step.

Take a look!"

Xiang Tianliang asked curiously: "Didn't it say that the Fang Family Courtyard is a grain depot? How is this food transported in and out?"

"To be precise, the Fang Family Courtyard is part of the grain depot. In the 1950s and 1960s, when the war was tense and people were preparing for war and famine, this was a military grain depot, which was under the jurisdiction of the municipal police district. Starting from the end of the 1970s, the transfer

Give it to the Municipal Grain Bureau. In a few years, the grain purchase and sales policy will be reformed, and this grain depot will be abandoned!"

He stretched out his elbow towards Tianliang and gave Yu Zhonghao a gentle push, "Hey, don't answer the wrong questions!"

"Actually, the real grain depot is built at the foot of the mountain on the right. It is an underground grain depot. In other words, there is a huge cave in the mountain. I heard that cars can drive into it, but for more than ten years,

It was basically abandoned before. There is a zigzag shape next to the entrance of the cave.

The mountain road leads to the grain drying field in front of the Fang Family Courtyard. The Fang Family Courtyard does not store food, it is just the office space and dormitory area of ​​the grain depot. The people who now plant this rice field come from that road.

The road up and down the mountain is said to be very suitable for ox carts!"

Xiang Tianliang let out a long breath, "***, I've been doing this for a long time, but you've fooled me!"

"Bah, why did I fool you!"

"If you don't leave alone, you lead us into the ditch. Isn't this harmful to us?"

"I'm afraid there is an ambush on that road. With such terrain and vision, the person being ambushed has no ability to resist!"

What Yu Zhonghao said made sense. Although he disagreed with it, Xiang Tianliang still had to accept it.

Shao Sanhe asked in a low voice: "Where is the water source of this rice field!"

Yu Zhonghao laughed and said: "Behind the mound, there is a bottomless pool, and there is a man-made stone ditch on each side of the mound. There are sluices in the ditch. According to the topography, the water in the pool becomes

The water source of this rice field!"

Xiang Tianliang also smiled, "It's such a good place. It will be very pleasant to stay for a few days when you have nothing to do!"

"Haha, I heard this place is haunted!"

"Oh, there are so many ghosts!"

"There are so many, they are all over the mountains and plains!"

"hey-hey……"

"What are you kidding about?" Yu Zhonghao asked.

Pointing at Shao Sanhe, Xiang Tianliang said happily: "Brother Sanhe is afraid of ghosts!"

"No." Yu Zhonghao couldn't believe it.

Shao Sanhe said naively: "I'm a little scared!"

"Zhonghao, Brother Mikawa is as afraid of ghosts as you are afraid of your wife!"

Yu Zhonghao cursed in a low voice: "Bah, you are afraid of your wife!"

"Hey, I don't have a wife yet, so there's no need to be afraid!"

Yu Zhonghao patted Shao Sanhe's arm and asked with concern: "Sanhe, you have no problem!"

"Please rest assured, Yu Ju, with you two heroes here, I won't be afraid of ghosts!"

Mentioning ghosts again, Xiang Tianliang thought to himself, Shao Sanhe is still afraid of ghosts.

Yu Zhonghao opened the canvas bag.

The bag contained three sets of equipment borrowed from the special forces, including mini submachine guns, body armor, helmets, etc.

Xiang Tianliang took a micro-charger and several magazines, and without moving his body armor and helmet, he stood up first and walked down the mountain like a walk.

In his mind, Yu Zhonghao was a bit like a mother-in-law, so it was better for Xiao Jianzhi to be straightforward.

Thinking of Xiao Jiannan, Xiang Tianliang's heart became a little tight. Could he be in the Fang family compound?

The fog in the valley is extremely heavy, getting thicker as you go down, making breathing difficult.

The worst part was that I couldn't see. It was so dark in front of me that I literally couldn't see my fingers.

Shao Sanhe was right behind Xiang Tianliang, while Yu Zhonghao was one step behind Shao Sanhe.

You can't see it, but you can hear it. Everything is quiet around you. The insects also need to rest. The wind is not strong, and the small trees shake their heads silently.

There was only the sound of the three people walking through the weeds, thin, but enough to let them know where each other was.

"flutter!"

Xiang Tianliang's head hit something, and his body leaned back against Shao Sanhe.

"A tree." He muttered to Tianliang and continued to get up and move forward.

"flutter!"

Hit it again.

This time, the force of the hit was even greater, and he fell directly on Shao Sanhe and slid into the grass.

Shao Sanhe also squatted down.

Yu Zhonghao came up, "What's wrong!"

"Tree!"

Yu Zhonghao took two steps forward, stretched out his slightly raised hand, and pulled it up and down several times.

"Where did the tree come from? There isn't one!"

Xiang Tianliang let out a sigh and touched his forehead. Surprisingly, it didn't hurt or itch.

"I'll do it." Yu Zhonghao stood up and walked in front. These two countrymen, one is afraid of ghosts and has even fought in a war, and the other is a godly person. You never know what he is going to do next.
