Chapter 1066, The Military Flag of Fortress 178

The place where the outpost was located had rolling hills, Zhang Jinglin and Ren Xiaosu followed the sentry all the way along the patrol path, and stood on top of a certain mountain peak suddenly feeling magnificent.

The sentry said to the two men, “Commander, Major, I’ll send you here, you follow this mountain road I’m pointing to go ahead for thirty kilometers, it’s the next outpost.”

Zhang Jinglin and Ren Xiaosu respectively shook hands with the sentry, “Good work.”

The sentry smiled, “Not hard.”

Zhang Jinglin patted the young sentry’s shoulder, “How can it not be hard?”

After saying that, they separated from each other.

After descending the hill, Zhang Jinglin lamented to Ren Xiaosu, “If the conditions allow it, I would even like to stay here with them for a few more days, do you know, each post here is equipped with a telephone line that can call the fortress headquarters. At first, the soldiers at the post were too lonely to call back all the time, and even things like lost sheep had to be specifically reported, in the morning the sheep was lost, and in the afternoon the sheep was retrieved, and they were happy to do so.”

Ren Xiaosu cried and laughed, some of the big posts here were raising a few cows and sheep, this he knew. Only that these cows and sheep could not be slaughtered, they were also considered the public property of the fortress, and the most the soldiers could do was to drink some goat’s milk.

Zhang Jinglin continued: ”Although this can relieve the loneliness of the warriors, they can’t be so casual in the face of war, in case someone occupies the line and ends up causing untimely delivery of information, it’s rather a nuisance, so then they were asked not to make phone calls like this. Then the fortress stipulated that if there was no hostile situation, then each post could only call back to the fortress at one fixed time a week. The soldiers in the outposts looked forward to that day every day and then took turns calling back.”

“There are operators over at the fort that specialize in the outposts, and there are both men and women among the operators, for them it’s considered a stroke of luck if they meet a female operator, but it doesn’t matter if they meet a man, they can still chat for the full hour ……”

Ren Xiaosu listened silently, during this period of time, he had heard Big Huyao say a lot of things about the outposts, and he had also heard Zhang Jinglin say a lot.

But what he felt most deeply was the loneliness of these sentry warriors.

Suddenly turning back, Ren Xiaosu brightly saw that the sentry who had sent them away was actually still standing on top of the mountain peak saluting himself, the other party’s straight body was like a flagpole.

“They are all the military flags of my Fortress 178, as long as they are still here, this northwestern territory still belongs to our Fortress 178,” Zhang Jinglin said.

“The military flag that you used the best time of your life to plant for the Northwest,” Ren Xiaosu said.

Zhang Jinglin sighed, “All of them are great young men, if not to guard the homeland behind them, who would want to go to such a place?”

With that, Zhang Jinglin and Ren Xiaosu saluted each other back together before turning around and moving on.

Ren Xiaosu suddenly said, “My Daxing Northwest 3.0 plan, it seems like I have a bit of a clue, but I haven’t thought about the specifics yet, so I’ll let you know when I do.”

“Good,” Zhang Jinglin laughed, “Both your 1.0 and 2.0 versions have surprised people enough, I’m looking forward to your 3.0 version.”

The scenery of the Northwest was different from that of the Central Plains simply because every inch of the land here emanated a vast and lofty flavor.

Sometimes a dark cloud drifted in the sky, one minute the cloud was still far away, the next moment it had drifted to the top of the head.

But in the midst of the cloud, there is a huge beam of light penetrating down, the light column through the cloud, it looks like a big hole in the sky.

Sometimes, in the evening the sky is as deep red as fish scales in the burning clouds, like a magnificent painting, the color is intoxicating.

This kind of strange and weird scenery was hard to see in the Central Plains.

At this time, Ren Xiaosu they had not yet gone deep into the wilderness, so occasionally they could still see the herds of sheep that the herdsmen had put out, and they could also see the herdsmen on horseback galloping past from afar.

Ren Xiaosu said: “Big lulu told me that earlier there were stories circulating in the Northwest Army that there was a sentry who had no food in the winter, and the snow blocked the mountains so the supplies couldn’t be transported in, so he could only hike more than forty kilometers to find a herdsman’s house and ask for a bite of food. As a result, the youngest daughter of the herder’s family took a liking to the sentry and said she had to marry her before she would give him food. In the end, there was no other way, so the sentry complied.”

The corners of Zhang Jinglin’s mouth rose slightly, he should have heard this story as well.

Immediately after that, Ren Xiaosu said, “Then the big lout took the initiative to become a sentry after hearing this story, only to find out when he arrived at the sentry post that the damn herdsmen were all men, and their families were in the fortress, the story was simply a lie!”

Zhang Jinglin laughed out loud, “That’s the story that the old commander made up by fooling everyone to become sentries!”

“It’s so unethical,” Ren Xiaosu laughed as well, “But the big lout also said later that he actually regretted being a sentry for five years, but if he didn’t have those five years, he would have regretted it for the rest of his life.”

At this time, Ren Xiaosu saw a flock of sheep, and he looked around for something.

Zhang Jinglin asked, “Looking for what?”

“Looking for the two sheep I saw yesterday,” Ren Xiaosu said, “I didn’t see them following again yesterday, but I always felt that there was something wrong with them.”

Only, Ren Xiaosu didn’t have much of a clue even after searching for a long time.

The main reason was that there were hundreds of sheep spread out on that grassy slope, and the sheep looked more or less the same, so it was hard to recognize them.

Ren Xiaosu resumed carrying the big stone, while Zhang Jinglin re-sat on top of the stone with nimble hands and feet, leisurely enjoying the beautiful scenery.

After they disappeared over a small hill, two sheep in the flock suddenly broke away from the flock once again and chased after the two in the direction they had left.

The two sheep looked at each other with lingering fear in each other’s hearts.

The gaze that Ren Xiaosu had just searched for them was like a knife, making them tremble with fear, they just couldn’t figure out, was this servant’s perception so sharp?

The two sheep trotted all the way to continue their stakeout, don’t look at the short legs, they ran surprisingly quite fast.

Only, when they rolled over the hill where Ren Xiaosu and the others had left, they saw in a flash that Ren Xiaosu was staring at them with a smile ……

“Surprised? Surprised?” Ren Xiaosu cheerfully laughed.

Two sheep heart a shock, immediately lowered his head to eat grass, eat a few mouths after raising his head also bleated twice, a pure innocent look.

But Ren Xiaosu does not care about these, he lightning strides forward to pull a sheep’s leg, was pulled sheep struggling, however, no matter how he struggled can not break free.

The other sheep saw the bad situation and turned his head to run, Ren Xiaosu didn’t go to catch him, but laughed at the caught sheep, “Throw yourself into the net!”

Saying that, Ren Xiaosu punched the sheep’s head, knocking him out completely.

Before the sheep fell into unconsciousness, with his remaining consciousness, he prayed that he would never wake up in a pot ……
