Siheyuan, my new life

There are four jeeps and seven large trucks parked at the foot of the mountain. A big fire is built next to each car. The blazing flames sway constantly with the cold wind. This is to keep the car engines warm. In such cold weather, once the diesel and engine oil in the engine freeze, there will be no way to start the car, let alone start it.

Normally in winter, before starting a car, it is often necessary to use flames to bake the engine, otherwise it will not start at all. Now in this wilderness, the temperature is even colder, so they can only find a large pile of firewood from nearby and light a bonfire next to the engine of each car. Comrades from the two relevant departments are responsible for adding wood to each fire from time to time, and they also have to pay attention to the surrounding situation.

A dozen young men in black Zhongshan suits sat in several jeeps to avoid the cold wind. A young man in his twenties picked up a box of Camel cigarettes in the cab and handed them to several colleagues. Everyone lit up and started smoking.

A slightly younger guy suddenly looked at the captain sitting in the co-pilot seat and couldn't help but complain: "Captain Jiang, when did our comrades from the relevant departments become the left-behind personnel? You know, we were the main force in the past."

Captain Jiang blew out a few smoke rings, smiled faintly and said, "Xiao Hu, don't be unconvinced. Today's main task is to move things. Do you think your physical strength can compare with those perverts in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill Security Action Team? I saw with my own eyes that those guys carried a big man weighing more than 100 pounds in one hand, and they didn't look tired at all. Besides, even those soldiers who have been training all the time are stronger than most of us in terms of physical strength. Instead of embarrassing yourself later, you might as well do what you can here."

Another colleague sighed softly: "Thinking about those guys in the Red Star Steel Mill Security Department Action Team, they are really enviable. Each of them not only has extraordinary physical strength, but also outstanding reaction ability, and their shooting skills are also very accurate. This morning, facing the shooting of six enemy agents, only one action team member was shot in the arm at the beginning, and the rest of the team members were not hurt at all. Five enemy agents were killed on the spot and one survived. With such a result, I saw that Director Qin and Deputy Director Xiong of the Red Star Steel Mill Security Department were both unhappy. I heard that Deputy Director Xiong scolded the team members and said that they would strengthen training after returning. When will we also have such outstanding strength?"

Noticing that several other colleagues couldn't help showing envy in their eyes, Captain Jiang lowered his voice and said, "Do you think that our Deputy Minister Yan came to the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill today just for today's action? Let me tell you, Deputy Minister Yan is still going to discuss with Secretary Lin about giving comrades in related departments medicinal baths in the future. But you only need to know about this matter, and don't go out and tell anyone."

Several colleagues immediately became excited: "Captain, do you know when we will start the medicinal bath?"

Captain Jiang shook his head slightly: "How can I know the exact time? But I guess we have to wait until after the Spring Festival before we can proceed. Okay, let's not talk about the medicinal bath anymore. Just keep it in mind."

Several colleagues nodded happily. Just as they were about to speak, they heard the colleague who was responsible for adding firewood and keeping watch outside the car shouting, "Get off the car quickly. The comrades who transported things from the mountains are back."

Hearing the shouts, everyone quickly opened the door and got out of the jeep, but looked up towards the distant mountains.

In the distance, I saw a long row of people carrying loads and walking towards here quickly.

Captain Jiang quickly shouted, "Comrades, hurry up and help."

Upon hearing the order, all comrades from relevant departments hurried forward.

Soon the two groups met halfway up the mountain. The comrades from the relevant departments felt a little embarrassed when they saw the burdens on the shoulders of the action team members. They saw that each of these guys was carrying six boxes of shells and walking quickly towards them with a relaxed look on their faces.

Although no one said anything, they all had some self-awareness. They were of course very clear about the weight of a box of shells. Each of these guys in front of them was carrying six boxes of shells, which weighed at least more than 400 kilograms. They really couldn't carry it all.

Captain Jiang was the first to react. He quickly called on his colleagues to return to the car, hurriedly untied the ropes that bound the boxes of shells, and then moved the boxes into the car one by one.

At this time, Qin Ming also walked to the side of the car with a load on his shoulder. After putting down the load, Qin Ming called Captain Jiang who was busy loading the car and told him what they had just discussed in the mountains.

Captain Jiang certainly would not object. There was nothing he could do about it. It was almost 3:30 in the afternoon. Even with the speed of the action team members, they could only move the stuff once more. What's more, there were more than 30 enemy spies who needed to be escorted back for interrogation immediately. So he agreed immediately.

Captain Jiang turned around and walked to the side of the car, called out the names of four colleagues, and arranged the task of guarding supplies in the mountains with the action team members tonight.

Soon Qin Ming and others, together with four comrades from relevant departments, set off and returned to the secret base in the mountains.

Looking at the figure carrying the carrying pole and the rope and walking away at great speed, the four comrades from the relevant departments could not help but smile bitterly. However, when they thought that they would also be able to take the medicinal bath next year, they suddenly became full of motivation and enthusiasm and quickened their pace to chase forward.

When the four comrades from the relevant departments followed the messy footprints left by the guys in front and came to the small valley, preparations had been made to start transporting the second batch of supplies and enemy spies down the mountain.

Zhang Shangwu and Xiong Qingshan were left at the Security Department to lead 24 action team members, plus four comrades from related departments, a total of 30 people were responsible for tonight's protection work. At the same time, they had to search all the houses carefully again to avoid omissions.

In addition to a large amount of supplies, the most important items transported down the mountain were more than 30 enemy agents, three radios, code books, and various valuables that filled four wooden boxes.

This time, the soldiers in the army were the ones carrying the shoulder poles. Each of them carried two sacks full of coke. This kind of controlled material could not be discarded here. Just now, Captain Geng had led the soldiers to put all the coke into a pile of sacks covered with coal slag found in a stone house. Apparently, the spies from the Beijing branch of the Bureau of Secrets also used these sacks to carry the coke into the mountains one bag at a time.
