Chapter 498: The Village Steals Water

"Tang Xi, after a while, it will be dark, and I will touch the southern hillside by the night, where the terrain is the highest, and you can see most of the village, you are in charge of sniping there, and if something goes wrong, you can quickly control the battlefield."

Yun Tian pointed to the high slope in the south and said to Tang Xi, as a sniper, she also saw that good sniper position.

"Niu Boyu, you will touch the entrance of the village in the north in a while, there is a mound there, once you hear the gunshots, you can lure the enemy there, but remember, just lure the enemy, and if the lure is successful, you will immediately go to the east meeting point and wait." After arranging Tang Xi, Yun Tian said to Niu Boyu on the other side, they form a containment in the south and the north, and once something happens, they will also take care of it.

"Understood." Niu Boyu nodded, and clenched the Type 95 light machine gun in his hand, four drums and 300 rounds of ammunition, he wanted to save some money.

"Okay, if you hear the gunshots, something has happened to me, if it's okay, I'll set fire to it, and then we will retreat together." After formulating the tactics, Yun Tian leaned against the mound and hurried for a day, and they had to seize the time to rest.

The turtle's breath made their breathing steady, and they quickly recovered their physical strength, and the stars in the sky gradually covered the earth, and the twinkling stars seemed to blink, and in the peaceful and quiet night, the three figures left the mound where they were hiding.

Yunsan cranes bent over their waists, little by little from the west towards the village, there was no electricity here, and people were still using kerosene lamps for lighting, but at this time there was still a fire flickering in the village, which should be similar to a bonfire.

After about ten minutes, Yuntian came to his predetermined location, hid behind a dead wood fence, and quietly listened to the sounds around him, so as to judge his next direction.

Tang Xi was condescending, set up the sniper rifle on the high ground, lying in the night, she was motionless, and the sniper scope was protected left and right with the movement of the clouds.

Niu Boyu is also lurking in his intended location, but he has not shown his head for the time being, because he is just a bait at a critical moment, so hiding himself is the first priority.

After waiting for a while, after finding that there was no movement, Yun Tian bent his waist again, and approached a mud wall little by little, this mud wall made of loess was more than a meter high, but it happened that Yun Tian was hiding.

The cat's waist was like a cheetah attacking, Yun Tian quickly came to a corner of the corner, probed gently, and after making sure that there was no one in the black alley, this was the real entry into this mountain village.

When Yun Tian flashed into the house, Tang Xi couldn't see him, and through the sniper scope, Tang Xi began to observe other positions, looking for whether there was a lurking enemy outpost.

Sticking to the wall, the clouds moved forward little by little, no sound came out, his eyes tried to identify the direction in the dark, the three military kettles behind him were the purpose of his coming here this time, if you want to live in this kind of place, there must be a deep well.

According to the comparison of the terrain, this is indeed a place where water is hidden, so Yuntian now goes straight to the center of the village, because it is customary for people to build houses close to the water source, and over time, they will surround the deep well in the middle of the village.

Suddenly, Yun Tian's face turned grim, and the sound of his footsteps and the sound of talking let him know that there was an enemy coming this way, but he was now in a small alley, and he could either withdraw from the village again to escape.

Looking around, Yuntian supported the wall with both hands, in this narrow alley, Yuntian's feet also stepped on the walls on both sides, kicked hard with both feet, and worked hard with both hands, relying on the support of arm strength and leg strength, he directly supported the alley to the position of the eaves.

The cloudy sky, which was more than two meters above the ground, was propped up on the wall, if it weren't for the fact that there was still a high sentry post in this village, he wouldn't be so embarrassed, and he would be found if he went directly to the house, so he could only do this.

The footsteps and talking were getting closer and closer, and two men with AK47 on their backs swayed over, staggering, obviously drinking, and the smell of sheep on their bodies could even be smelled in the clouds overhead.

Watching the two people walk under their feet with a smell of alcohol, Yun Tian stood there quietly, looking at these two guys with his eyes like torches, once they found themselves, they could only use force.

Fortunately, they were just passing by, supporting each other, and they didn't notice that there was someone above their heads, and it was their habit to drink and get drunk today.

It wasn't until they disappeared at the other end of the alley that Yun Tian let go of his arm, and the whole person fell to the ground, more than two meters tall and there was no sound.

Moving forward again, Yun Tian clung to the wall, and soon came to a crossing, where he stopped and looked around.

Tonight's moon has only one crescent, so even though the sky is full of stars, it is not a particularly good view, and after distinguishing the direction, Yuntian turned from the left and touched it again.

In the low houses, there was a sound of talking from time to time, and in some houses there was a kerosene lamp, but in many more there was no light at all.

In this kind of barren place, not everyone can afford kerosene lamps, so Yun Tian didn't dare to get too close to the house, in case someone inside would be discovered.

Light-handed, Yun Tian turned again, and a sheepfold appeared in front of him, which made Yun Tian happy in his heart, he didn't expect that there was such a delicious taste in this remote place, if he could take a sheep before leaving, it would be enough for them to eat for a few days.

But now it is important to find water, and as for the sheep, I will talk about it later, but just as Yuntian was about to continue walking, suddenly a dog barked, so that he could only stop.

Modern defenses may have holes, but this ancient guard is definitely a difficult problem, and if you get too close to attract the attention of others, it will be troublesome.

In desperation, Yuntian could only turn around again, and disappeared into the darkness, still silent, like a ghost at night.

Minute by minute, Yun Tian cautiously looked for the deep well in the village, and outside, Tang Xi and Niu Boyu also bent their ears, trying to listen to the movements in the village, for fear that there was something wrong with Yun Tian when the gunshots came, but fortunately, the village was still very quiet, which made the two of them put down their snacks a little.

Step by step, Yun Tian kept searching the places he was passing by, sneaking around late at night, he wandered around for a while, constantly detouring, and there were guards standing guard, or captive earth dogs.

Fortunately, there are not many local dogs, and the guards are also very lazy, Yun Tian touched it for a while, and finally touched the middle of the village.

Hiding in the dark, Yun Tian carefully looked at this central location, this should be regarded as a square, about three basketball courts-sized open space, there is a straight road to the north and south, the wide road should be reserved for vehicles, but after a while, Yun Tian did not find any means of transportation.

On the left side of the square, there is a high platform about two meters above the ground, and there is a staircase built next to it.

It is a wheel, modern Chinese countryside is also very rare device, originated in the Han Dynasty of the wheel, is specially used to lift water from the well, the original technology is not the current automatic pumping machine, so when lifting water, the wheel must be used.

Three wooden brackets support the wheel, there is a handle at one end, and the middle is mixed with a rope on the rotating shaft above the wellhead, and the handle should be moved when drawing water, so that the rotating shaft produces torque, and the rope is lowered until the bucket is submerged in the well, and the water is lifted out in reverse rotation.

With this wheel, it proves that it is well water in its decentralization, and finally found what he was looking for, Yun Tian was happy, but this matter is not so simple.

In this kind of barren land, water is a treasure, so this is the construction of a high platform, every day the villagers have to line up, here to receive their own water, and once the water is controlled, it is equivalent to the control of the whole village.

The militants knew this very well, so even at night, there were two guards standing next to the deep well, and he was holding an AK47 standing on a high platform, and the other checkpoints did not have as much attention as him.

Yun Tian just came, of course, he didn't understand, these militants here are quite strict about water control, and for the villagers who dare to disobey them, the best punishment is to cut off the water, so sometimes, the villagers who are thirsty and crazy will come to steal water, so the checkpoints here are very alert.

The high platform is located on the left side of the square near the center, the surrounding is empty, the two guards stand back to back, you can find the people around trying to get closer, if Yun Tian wants to sneak up, the risk is very large, wait for a long time and don't see them relax, this is really like looking at the spirit of gold.

Can't rob hard, then only outwit, Yun Tian gently retreated, he had a plan, turned around and left, in the dark night, he could still clearly identify the location he had walked through, came to a house wall, looked around and saw that there was no one, Yun Tian turned directly into the courtyard wall.

Rolling on the spot, Yun Tian lay motionless on the ground, because about twenty meters away from him, there was a checkpoint, standing on the roof, holding AK47, looking at it from time to time, it was one of the four highland checkpoints in this village.

In the darkness, the sentry did not notice that someone had come to his feet, and turned around again to look in the other direction, and by this opportunity, Yuntian quickly crawled forward.

He didn't come to kill this sentry post, after turning over and sinking into the bunker again, Yun Tian gently picked up the bunker in front of him with his hand, and here was a firewood pile with dead tree trunks, I'm afraid that two-thirds of the wood in the village was piled up here.

Little by little, he dug out a big hole, Yun Tian took out a military windproof lighter, grabbed two slightly thinner branches and lightly lit them, stuffed them into the firewood pile that was five or six meters high again, and covered the branches he had just taken out on it.
