Chapter 9

After crossing the depression in front, he immediately went down the hillside. Under the leadership of squad leader Wei Jiangong, a quiet inclined Valley appeared in front of him. If the veterans were not familiar with the terrain here, it would be difficult for strangers to find it.

This inclined Valley is slightly different from other places. It protrudes on both sides and concave in the middle, like a curved crescent moon. There is just a large stone block on it, so there is no snow below, and the temperature seems to be higher than elsewhere.

"Let's go to the valley ahead and have a rest! Shit! It's finally the end. It's been walking for about two or three hours. Cheng Chong, are you tired! Ha ha! It's normal to feel tired when you come out to patrol for the first time." Wei Jiangong took a long breath and pointed to the inclined Valley Road in front of him.

"I'm not tired! Monitor! You can really find it! You can find such a good place to rest. I'm afraid there are few decent gold treasures in the whole plateau!" Cheng Chong's physical fitness is good, but after all, when he first went to the plateau, he was still very tired, but he would never be tired.

"Don't flatter! I didn't find this golden place. My monitor brought me here for the first time. This is even another point of our half moon checkpoint! Two points and one line are the whole life of our entire checkpoint brothers." Wei Jiangong quickly denied Cheng Chong's words. He didn't want to take the credit out of thin air.

"Flatter the monitor's hoof on the back leg! Hey hey! We have to pay attention to it in the future. Our class members are dignified and realistic, and will never take human skills as their own." Ma Xiaodong smiled. He would hardly miss any chance to lose this old comrade in arms, old brother and old partner

"You only have hind legs! You only have hooves! Like flattery, horse hind legs and horseshoes, only horses have, right? Comrade Ma! Do you want to show everyone your strong hind legs, ER! It's horse hind legs." Wei Jiangong said a few words and returned his words.

Cheng Chong and veteran Liu laughed happily. It's about to go to the rest point. It's time to relax properly.

When Ma Xiaodong saw that the monitor asked him to show his strong hind legs in public, it didn't matter. He secretly laughed once, as if in a fight, walked straight forward with his head depressed, and surpassed the monitor to become the leader.

The four men were about to enter the valley with white breath and laughter.

"Old horse! Wait! Something's wrong!" Wei Jiangong suddenly shouted.

Cheng Chong and veteran Liu were at a loss. Seeing the monitor's dignified face, they were stunned and nervous. He immediately grabbed the Bayi rifle with his shoulder on his back in his hand and held it in front of his chest.

Ma Xiaodong, who walked in front, looked relaxed. He looked back in doubt and said with a smile: "what's the matter? Class adult, do you really find that I have hind legs and reward."

"Seriously, there's a real situation! Look at that stone." Wei Jiangong quickly pointed to a stone in front of him.

It is a long strip of light yellow stone. The others then approached carefully and looked at it carefully, but they didn't find anything unusual about the stone. They suddenly wondered: what ghost did the monitor smash, what tricks did he play, and when did he study the stone like a geologist.

"Old horse! Do you find any difference between this stone and before?" Wei Jiangong pointed to the long stone and asked Ma Xiaodong. It was a serious question.

"Who knows! You don't want to say that today's stone is one day older than yesterday's stone!" Ma Xiaodong was confused by Wei Jiangong: what's the matter? It's mysterious. He wanted to answer Wei Jiangong like this, but seeing his serious appearance, it seemed a little inappropriate to say so again.

In fact, that stone is Wei Jiangong's temporary bench. Every time the sentry comes here, he beats the stone horizontally and sits on it. However, after sitting, he throws it down and sits back. That's all.

Yes? Did monitor Wei have feelings with this temporary bench?

Ma Xiaodong looked straight at the monitor with naughty and disapproving eyes.

"What are you talking about? What? Old and young. Don't you find out? Every time I sit on this stone, I will stand it up, and now you see, it fell down by itself." Wei Jiangong almost finished these words in a surprised tone.

"Ouch! I thought you found the new world? That's why! I said to my class, are you in a hurry? Whether you stand up or fall, it doesn't matter. It may have been knocked down by the wind or by some animal. These are all possible. Why make a fuss! Make a mountain out of a molehill." Ma Xiaodong smiled relieved and relaxed.

"I really want to break your head off and see if there is paste in it. When did you see a strong wind in this place? It's a shelter. Besides, what a strong wind it takes to blow down such a big stone? You say animals. Are there animals haunting on this dead plateau? A few years ago, we saw an antelope in a low-lying place. You're better than your father Be happy. But you're right. There have been animals, primates that walk upright with hairless legs. " Wei Jiangong's tone was very firm, as if what he said was the truth.

Hearing that someone had come here, Cheng Chong and veteran Liu changed their faces slightly and were surprised. How could there be other people in such a rare place? What are they doing here? The two men immediately carried guns, and the cat bowed down and followed the monitor step by step.

Ma Xiaodong's mind still couldn't turn around for a moment. He didn't believe this ghost place. It's a forbidden area of life. In addition to some big soldiers on their patrol, there can't be anyone else who foolishly came here for a visit. What's the picture? It doesn't make sense!

"Stop it! Squad leader! Don't be paranoid. Scare yourself. Who will come to this damn place except our big soldiers who serve the people all day? They won't come for money." Ma Xiaodong said, turned and walked forward as if nothing had happened.

But he only took one step out.

"Stop! Don't move! Don't move!" Wei Jiangong, the monitor, was shocked and shouted. Instead, he rushed to Cheng Chong and veteran Liu, who were closely behind him and said, "you two, step back and lie down quickly!"

Cheng Chong and veteran Liu didn't know where they were. Seeing the squad leader's look like this, they would immediately feel sorry. Knowing that the situation was serious, they quickly withdrew from ten meters away, fell down, occupied a favorable shooting position, opened the safety, pulled the gun and guarded around.

Deputy squad leader Ma Xiaodong usually looks like a fool and aloof from the world. However, seeing that the squad leader is so serious that he is not joking at ordinary times, he was stunned for a moment, as if he had been cast a spell. He stood upright and did not move. A helpless smile appeared on his face.

"Don't move! Don't be afraid! I'm here!" Wei Jiangong looked dignified. While talking, he had gently walked to Ma Xiaodong's side, slowly bent down, took off his gloves, and carefully pulled it gently towards the place under Ma Xiaodong's right foot.

Where and where! Who's afraid! Ma Xiaodong is still muttering in his heart.

The soil on the plateau was originally very soft. Wei Jiangong didn't pull it a few times, so he pulled out a pit with a big bowl at Ma Xiaodong's feet. At this time, a black round iron box exposed the tip of the iceberg.

Mines! It's a mine——

Although the mine is not beautiful, it is powerful enough for those who dare to tread on it to be disabled even if they die.

Wei Jiangong kept busy, thinking in his heart: who planted the mine? In doing so, the intention is extremely vicious. It must kill us. Then who will do it? However, it is obvious that all this is for us.

It's not certain that someone found out the law of our patrol, so they buried mines in our rest points to plot against us.

Thinking of this, Wei Jiangong took a cold breath and his back was cold. This has not happened for many years.
