Chapter 2590: Border Patrol

Chapter 2386 Border Patrol

The development of Junken City is due to too many people like Liu Dahong, who have made themselves and Junken City successful.

When the weather is very quiet, Meihua is planning to travel again. The old comrades are now wild, and they are no longer as stubborn as before.

In winter, they will go to the Donghai Sanatorium, and in spring, they will go to the city in Yunnan where the four seasons are like spring. Only in summer and autumn will they stick to this place.

Of course, there are exceptions, that is the old model Wei Quanyou. In his life, any enjoyment has nothing to do with him.

His only pleasure is to drive cattle and sheep and stroll along the border. Not to mention the border guards, even the soldiers of neighboring countries are familiar with him.

Although the current good neighborly relations, the border is not a checkpoint, and it will never be trampled on by others because of the good or bad relationship.

And he, Wei Quanyou, is a nail, nailing himself here forever.

He is very old, but because of years of running around, his legs are still very strong.

Especially after Ye Wancheng helped him relieve the pain caused by his old rheumatism, he often forgot his age.

His son-in-law, who had always been with him, has now become a middle-level leader of the agricultural and animal husbandry group and has no time to accompany him on border patrols.

And those comrades-in-arms are getting older and weaker. According to Wei Quanyou, he is the only young man left in their generation.

So, he became a lonely man again, with only his old partner and a batch of cattle and sheep to accompany him.

The soldiers at the outpost still call him the old squad leader, and the first task of the new recruits assigned to the outpost every year is to visit him.

The leaders of the army also come to his home every year to greet him. He has become a non-staff soldier who will never retire in this army.

For 50 years, he has been hailed as a living boundary marker on the Sarbulak grassland. To exaggerate, he can clearly recognize which country even a blade of grass belongs to.

His border patrol route spans Xibalikun, Sarbulak, and the south bank of the Emin River. According to the distance he walks every day, the total distance in these 50 years is more than 200,000 kilometers. He walks more than ten kilometers every day.

His original first division has now undergone earth-shaking changes, from an agricultural and animal husbandry unit to a modern city. Only here, there is no change at all.

Several dry-rammed earth houses have been riddled with holes under the erosion of wind and rain, and the cowshed and sheepfold surrounded by wooden fences. However, there is no hole.

Today, the cattle and sheep he raises are all for the soldiers at the outpost. The retirement salary of him and his wife is enough for them to live. Therefore, he no longer needs to raise anything for himself.

The soldiers are young and the training intensity is high, so they cannot lack meat. He even doesn't want the cattle and sheep that are distributed to him every year.

Over the years, he has stopped and persuaded thousands of people who attempted to cross the border, and the awards he received are so many that the walls of the whole house cannot be pasted.

Young people nowadays no longer take this piece of paper seriously, but these certificates are all the pride of Wei Quanyou.

His wife has a bad back and can no longer do any work. His daughter comes back once a day to help them prepare the day's meals. She is also busy with her work now.

Wei Quanyou's dry food has remained the same for decades, always steamed buns and pickles. He used to be able to eat some beef jerky. Now his teeth are not good, and he is reluctant to get them inlaid, so eating has become a problem.

His daughter bought him a large thermos. Every morning his wife makes a pot of milk tea, and at noon he soaks the steamed buns in the milk tea. The hard buns are softened so that he can chew them.

For decades, he has been reluctant to ride a horse, always feeling that he can't see many things when sitting on a horse.

Patrolling the border is not just a simple trip along the border line, but requires observing many things. It is precisely because of his rich experience that he can accurately encounter those who attempt to cross the border and the lost livestock.

It's that hill again. He always likes to have lunch here. The view here is wide and you can see far away.

Although the relationship between the two countries is very friendly now, and it is very easy to travel across the border, there are always some people who like to take shortcuts.

Some herders are not aware and drive their sheep out without paying attention.

Some are involved in some illegal activities and are not convenient to enter through the border.

For the former, Lao Wei always drives them back with a smile and scolds, but for those who have ulterior motives, he is merciless.

Although he is already seventy years old, his movements are still agile. The semi-automatic rifle on his shoulder, although the paint on the handle has been worn off, is still a hundred shots.

The reason why he likes to eat here is that this is actually his key defense area. People who cross the border also like to climb to a high place to observe the situation before taking action.

After all, if the border guards encounter this kind of thing, they can shoot directly, and no one dares to risk their lives.

Climbing up the hillside and carefully observing the situation, Wei Quanyou frowned, and then lay on the ground to look for traces.

Although it is summer, it is not easy to see something passing by, but some subtle changes can never escape his eyes.

He found some grass that had been trampled and fallen down. Although it was not obvious, it could not be hidden from his eyes.

After careful observation for a while, he was sure that someone had definitely been here. Herdsmen usually did not come here to graze sheep. They all had their own pastures.

Moreover, herdsmen rode horses, and the horseshoes would not have such a large area.

Generally, border crossers would choose to observe the situation during the day and take action in the evening, when the visibility was poor and it was not easy to be discovered by the soldiers.

Wei Quanyou began to search along the traces and had taken off his gun.

The semi-automatic rifle has been eliminated by the army now, but Wei Quanyou likes it and has used it for half his life, just like his arm.

Moreover, the bullets of this gun are powerful. Basically, if you hit it, you will have no ability to move.

He loaded the bullet and pulled the safety. His somewhat turbid eyes instantly emitted a brilliant light, like an experienced old hunter. No prey could escape his sight.

He was very familiar with the situation of the hill. After walking more than ten meters along the traces, he could guess where this person was hiding?

But he did not choose to just go over, but made a detour and approached the target.

There is a cave on the south slope of the hill. It is called a cave, but it is actually a small pit with a depth of no more than two meters. However, there is a large stone in front of the cave, which has become a shelter, so it is not easy for people outside to find this cave.

He walked quietly behind the big rock without making any sound, then pointed the gun barrel towards the cave entrance and shouted:

"Don't move, raise your hands!"

There was no sound inside...

Dear friends, if there are not enough updates, don't forget to vote, salute
