Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Ruan Liang

With a series of certificates from the polling bureau to open the way, we went directly to the special channel for exemption from inspection and boarded the special plane of the polling bureau.After the plane took off, Gao Liang and the others were discussing the action plan to encircle Huang Ran and the three of them. Director Hugo proposed more than once to come to our side to eliminate Satan's friend, the giant wolf named Fenrir. They were all stopped by Fatty Gao: "Don't worry, there are enough of them in one room, and nothing will go wrong." Hao Wenming originally wanted to hold a small meeting to discuss the details of eliminating the wolves, because the local garrison would participate, and finally I can only sum it up in one word: "Fight!" As for how to fight, we will talk about it at that time.

We changed into our military uniforms on the plane, and after changing our clothes, Fatty Sun kept commenting beside him, "Hao Tou, I didn't mean you, how did you mess up? You only messed with a captain at such an old age." , You are a small battalion-level cadre if you are exhausted. Few people will believe a battalion-level small cadre your age? Is there no official who is older? Yang Jun, your white hair can't be stopped by any hat I didn’t know about Ranran just now?” In the end, Hao Wenming got annoyed, and a few words made Fatty Sun shut up: “Fatty Sun, shut up, if you talk nonsense again, I’ll use you as bait to lure wolves out .”

Five hours later, the plane landed at Yining Airport in Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture.I don't know if our luck is good or bad, but the moment the plane stopped, snowflakes fell from the sky, and it tended to get bigger and bigger.In just a short while, the entire Yining Airport was covered in a vast expanse of whiteness.After circling in the sky for a while, several planes that were about to land flew into the distance. After getting off the plane, we and Gao Liang left the airport in two waves.Director Gao and his party were directly picked up by several buses on the tarmac.Hao Wenming led several of us through the inspection-free passage to the airport hall.Because of the heavy snow, almost all the scheduled arrival flights have been diverted to other airports.The airport hall was empty, except for a few ground staff, the most conspicuous one was a second lieutenant officer in his thirties at the airport pick-up gate.

In his hand, he held a cardboard cut from a packing box of Tianshan fragrant pears.It was written with a carbon pen: Welcome Comrade Hao Wenming and his party to our department to guide the work.Fortunately, there are no people in the airport hall now, otherwise, with the shabby and shabby reception scale, we really wouldn't be ashamed to meet each other.Fatty Sun looked at the words on the card and said: "Hao Tou, I didn't say that, I don't take you as a dish, so I should use a piece of paper to paste this card. Look, the first two words "Welcome" and Tianshan Xiangli are overwritten, and at first glance it is Comrade Tianshan Xiangli Hao Wenming. I didn't say that, this nickname is so shameless."

Before Hao Wenming could speak, the second lieutenant officer holding the sign had already shouted to us: "Is this Comrade Hao Wenming? Who is Comrade Hao Wenming?" Besides Yang Jun, Fatty Sun, Fatty Sun and Po Jun pointed at us. The person he was looking for.The officer came over and gave a military salute, and said: "I am Ruan Liang, the person in charge of the reception work of the XXX army. Welcome Comrade Hao Wenming to come to the XXX army to guide the work." Hao Wenming replied with a very standard military salute, and said with a blank face: "It's not about guiding work, we also came here with a mission on our backs. Let's count as our brother troops making some contributions to the people in the pastoral areas." The director began to introduce a few of us: "Let me introduce, these three are special shooters selected by our army. They have won the rankings in previous competitions. This is Shen La, and the one next to him The big guy is called Po Jun, and the white-haired guy is called Yang Jun."

When talking about Yang Jun, the second lieutenant named Ruan Liang was stunned when he saw his white hair. Although he didn't say anything, there was already a surprised expression on his face.Hao Wenming explained for Yang Jun: "He has pathological white hair. Yang Jun had a serious illness when he was a child, and he became like this after he recovered." Afterwards, he introduced Fatty Sun and said: "This is Captain Sun Desheng, Captain Sun of the Comprehensive Law Enforcement Brigade of the Forestry Police Bureau of the Autonomous Region. He also came for the wolf disaster incident. It happened that we took the same plane." Fatty Sun hehe He smiled and said, "I'm here to learn, not to say, when it's time to really fight wolves, don't count me in."

Ruan Liang was being polite as Fatty Sun, but he didn't care. He turned to Hao Wenming and said, "Our chief has told you that after Comrade Hao Wenming arrives, Comrade Hao Wenming will be in charge of dealing with the wolf disaster." Hao Wenming didn't agree either. Politely, he nodded directly and said: "Then don't talk nonsense, let's go directly to the scene, and we can talk about it at the scene if we have anything to say." When we got out of the airport, it was already a vast expanse of whiteness outside.Ruan Liang drove over with an old Jinbei van, and he didn't bother to look at the snow scene outside.Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, except for Yang Jun, the few of us seized the time and squinted in the car for a while.I don't know how long I slept, but when I opened my eyes, the snow had stopped and the sky was already bright.Looking through the car window, the outside is completely white, and it is impossible to tell where it is.

"Comrade Xiao Shen, you've woken up." Fatty Sun laughed in the back row of me, "I didn't say that, I thought you had altitude sickness, and I was wondering if I should find you an oxygen bag to inhale oxygen. "I rolled down the car window a little, and after taking a breath of the cold air outside, my head suddenly became clearer.Hao Wenming and Po Jun had already woken up, and they were asking Ruan Liang about the wolf disaster.And Yang Jun conjured up an encyclopedia out of nowhere, and was slowly flipping through the pages. I said to Fatty Sun: "Big...Sun Desheng, where are we now?" After I said that, I felt that I was asking too much.How could Fatty Sun know!Unexpectedly, he wiped the frost on the window glass with his hands, and said, "It's almost at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains." I glanced at him, and said, "Just fool around, you haven't been here before, why are you here?" Know?" Fatty Sun made a face and said, "Guess."

Unexpectedly, Ruan Liang, who was driving, said: "Captain Sun is right, we are now at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, after a while we get off the car and walk for two or three hours, we will be able to reach the place where wolves often haunt. He paused, then continued, "There is our outpost on the mountain, and the commanders and fighters who cooperate with you to eliminate the wolves are already in place." Po Jun said: "How many people are there?" Ruan Liang replied: "Including me, there are four people in total." After he finished speaking, he was afraid that we would be dissatisfied with the number, so he explained, "Recently there was a snowstorm, and the troops were transferred. A lot of people have gone to the local area to help with disaster relief, and we have to ensure the basic number of garrisons. There is really no manpower. But don’t worry, we are all professional professionals and have sufficient equipment. Special shooters dare not say , but at a distance of 180 meters, killing a few wolves is not a problem."

Seeing Ruan Liang's appearance, Hao Wenming suddenly chuckled and said, "It's not me, you misunderstood me. I'm not afraid that you have too few people, but that you have too many people." Ruan Liang didn't understand, and asked again and again. A few words, but Hao Wenming just laughed and didn't answer, and Ruan Liang could only give up, pretending that he didn't understand what he just said. After the van drove for another 20 minutes, the road ahead was finally lost. Ruan Liang parked the car, turned to us and said, "We've arrived." We are located at the foot of a mountain, and there is a high mountain in front of us. After the heavy snow, the mountain is completely white.After getting off the car, we looked around and couldn't find the way into the mountain at all.The snow fell so heavily that it completely covered the road.The weather is also strange. When it snowed just now, the wind was so strong that the goose feathers swirled and flew to the ground.Now that the snow has stopped and the strong wind has stopped blowing, it is dry and cold.

Ruan Liang was the last one to get out of the car. When he got out of the car, his expression was not quite right. He looked around at first, then returned to the car, honked the horn a few times, and looked at his watch from time to time. Ruan Liang frowned. Slowly wrinkling into a pimple, he kept looking up the mountain, muttering to himself: "It's almost twelve o'clock, why don't you come down to pick up people." Hao Wenming glanced at him and said: " Someone from the mountain will pick us up?" "Yes." Ruan Liang agreed, "There is an outpost protecting military facilities on the mountain. The soldiers I said to cooperate with you are also in the outpost. I have notified them in advance, and someone should come down at 11 o'clock. It's been almost an hour." Po Jun said: "Call the people on the mountain to see if they can't wait, and go back first." Ruan Liang shook his head helplessly, and said, "This is a signal blind spot. You have to go to the signal station on the mountainside to have a mobile phone signal. Besides, it's an order to let them come down to pick up people. How dare you go back privately if you don't see anyone for an hour?" As soon as he finished speaking, Hao Wenming took out a cigarette from his pocket. After he lit it, he didn't intend to smoke. He just held the cigarette in his hand and let the smoke float in the air like a thread. The cigarettes in Hao Wenming's hand are specially made by himself, and we (except Yang Jun) helped to make them when we started making them.There is nothing special about the cigarette itself, just ordinary Chinese, but a very thin spirit incense is added to the tobacco core. The burning speed of this spirit incense is almost the same as that of cigarettes. When the yin and evil qi condense, the smoke of the spiritual incense will float over and gather around it.Hao Wenming also made such cigarettes to cope with occasions like the present where outsiders are present. Ruan Liang had something on his mind, and he didn't care why Hao Wenming didn't smoke. He just kept looking up the mountain, as if as long as he looked a few more times, someone would come down from the mountain and take us up.And the eyes of the few of us almost followed the smoke of Lingxiang (Yang Jun discovered the trick when he saw the smoke lingering), and saw that the smoke had turned in the air and began to slowly drift towards the snow mountain go.We all thought that the smoke would float into the snow-capped mountains, and we were even prepared to follow the smoke into the mountains. At this moment, there was a loud bang on the top of the snow mountain.At the same time, the wisp of smoke instantly dissipated into the air as if it had been hit by something.We were stunned almost at the same time, and then looked around at the same time. The snow mountain is still the snow mountain, and there is nothing unusual about it.I looked at Hao Wenming and Yang Jun again, hoping to see something in their eyes, but unfortunately they both had expressionless faces, as if they were carved out of the same mold. Ruan Liang thought we saw the soldiers coming down the mountain, so he ran over and followed our gaze, but still found nothing: "What was that sound just now? What did you see?" Hao Wenming looked back at him and asked: "Have you ever been to the outpost on the mountain?" Ruan Liang hesitated, but said: "I have been there a few times, but it was only when the weather was good, and now the road is covered with snow, I am not sure Find the outpost." After he finished speaking, he added, "In this weather, if you really get lost in the mountains, it will be really troublesome." Hao Wenming bowed his head and thought for a while, then said: "Let's go up and have a look, even if you go to the mountainside, then give them a call. I didn't say that, there is no mobile phone signal here, and I can't get in touch even if I want to." Then he said: "Comrade Ruan Liang, Captain Hao is the biggest here now, let's listen to him. Just go to a place with a mobile phone signal, call your outpost, and ask them what happened on the mountain .” Ruan Liang didn't seem to have any better solution. He looked at the snow mountain and hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Well, let's walk and try. Maybe we'll be lucky and find the location of the outpost." The one who led the way at the front didn't expect Hao Wenming to step in front of him, turn around and say to him, "I'm in the front, and you can just tell me how to go." Ruan Liang was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't understand what it meant, he followed Director Hao and began to walk up the mountain. Behind him was Po Jun, Fatty Sun and I were in the middle, and Yang Jun held the ground in the end.Fatty Sun came to Yang Jun's side and talked to him for nothing. Yang Jun was easy to talk to, without any hesitation, he untied the gun case he was carrying and handed it to Fatty Sun. It took more than two hours to walk on this road. Due to the heavy snow blocking the mountain, it was really difficult to distinguish the mountain road.There were many forked roads, and when Ruan Liang hesitated a few times about which way to go, it was Hao Wenming who hinted at Fatty Sun and let him choose which way to go.There was a signal on the phone at the mountainside, but no one answered after calling several times.Ruan Liang comforted himself: "Maybe they are busy with something." Thanks to Fatty Sun's luck, two hours later, we finally saw the outpost in the mountains that Ruan Liang mentioned. It is said to be an outpost, but it is actually three brick-and-tiled houses plus a small courtyard. From a distance, one can already see tall firewood and coal piles piled up in the yard, but it seems that this outpost is quiet, as if It was a little too deserted. Ruan Liang was impatient, and was about to run over, but was stopped by Hao Wenming. Director Hao squinted his eyes and stared at the position of the post and said, "Don't go there, something is wrong over there." At this time, Ruan Liang also discovered the problem, He looked at the yard and said to Hao Wenming: "You guessed right, there is a problem. The dogs watching the yard are gone." There used to be two guard dogs in the yard of the outpost, but now they are gone. After observing for a while, nothing unusual was found.We began to approach the outpost slowly, the closer we got, the less we could feel the breath of a living person inside. At this time, Ruan Liang's face was frighteningly pale, and dense beads of sweat were also seen on his forehead.He walked back and forth a few times inside and outside the house, and even went around the vegetable field behind the house, but he still didn't find any clues.Finally, I asked a few of us "outsiders" a very nonsensical question: "Does anyone know where they are?" After the scene was silent for a while, Hao Wenming frowned and said, "Xiao Ruan, I didn't say that we were together all the time. Where did your comrades go? How would we know? Don't worry, maybe they received a sudden call. Order, immediately go to another place to deal with something, it may be an emergency, and it is too late to notify you." Ruan Liang kept staring into Hao Wenming's eyes. After he finished speaking, Ruan Liang sneered and said, "Who are you?" glanced at him.Just this one glance has proved that we have some problems.Our reaction seemed to be within Ruan Liang's expectation. He suddenly picked up an assault rifle from the gun rack and pointed it at us, clicked, pulled the bolt violently, and said sharply: "I will also participate in the military competition. I haven't heard of your special shooters. When I went to the airport to pick up the plane, I didn't see any flights landing on the bulletin board, so you just came out. This outpost has been established for decades, and it has always been calm. Come on, the entire outpost is empty, isn't it such a coincidence? Beating wolves...Hmph! You are the wolves, right?" I can't see that Ruan Liang's thoughts are so meticulous. Although the general direction is wrong, it is quite rare to find our mistakes from the beginning.Is this the little second lieutenant who came to pick him up with a sign saying "Xinjiang Fragrant Pear Hao Wenming"?He came all of a sudden, we really can't answer, we can't tell him the actual situation of the polling bureau.For a while, we were at such a stalemate. "Forget it, let's be honest with you, it's not worth dying in your hands like this." Fatty Sun smiled helplessly, but "Tell the truth." These three words came out of his mouth, somewhat The Arabian Nights feeling.Fatty Sun glanced at Hao Wenming, and Director Hao didn't object, which was considered a tacit consent.Fatty Sun continued: "As you said, they are really not soldiers. We are all in the same unit. I am a policeman, but I am not a forestry policeman. Desheng, they are all my colleagues. We are here to hunt down three drug dealers." Ruan Liang sneered, and said, "Why don't you say that you are from Zhongnanhai? It's nonsense anyway, why don't you make it louder?" Fatty Sun panted heavily, pointed to his chest and said, "In the pocket You have my ID card, take it out and see for yourself." Ruan Liang hesitated for a moment, put the muzzle of the gun on Fatty Sun's head, looked at us and said, "No matter who of you messes around, he will be the first to die With that said, he carefully took out an ID from Fatty Sun's pocket with his left hand free. I do recognize this certificate. It was bought by Fatty Sun when he was briefly promoted to the chief of the Drug Enforcement Division after the Shuiliandong incident.Later, when he resigned from the Drug Enforcement Division, he did not hand in this certificate, and it was a wish to keep it with him.Didn't expect it to come in handy today.Ruan Liang compared the photo on the certificate, and after confirming that it was Fatty Sun, he was still skeptical.At this time, Hao Wenming said suddenly: "I didn't say that, if you are not sure, you can call back and ask someone from your army to verify our identity." Hao Wenming's words made Fatty Sun a little guilty, and when he spoke again, he was not as natural as before: "Yes, if you don't believe me... just call, call." Not knowing what Hao Wenming just meant, Ruan Liang made a call , Fatty Sun's "truth" can be exposed on the spot, but seeing Director Hao's confident look, we can only take one step at a time. As soon as Ruan Liang made a phone call, his voice became smaller and smaller. After he turned off the phone, he lowered the muzzle of his gun and muttered: "The police are the police, why are you pretending to be a soldier?" Hao Wenming smiled slightly and said, "Have you understood everything?" Ruan Liang said, "The people on my side didn't make it clear, but it can prove that you are the police and that you are performing a secret mission." Hao Wenming nodded, and said, "Don't just draw your gun at every turn in the future, don't accidentally injure a good person." Speaking of this, the expression on his face suddenly became a little weird, but it returned to normal immediately.Director Hao continued: "But it's understandable, the situation here is still a bit weird, isn't it..." He made a long sound, rolled his eyelids up, looked towards the roof, and then suddenly shouted the last two words: "I Say!"
