Chapter 484 It’s OK, It’s Used to It

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yuan glanced at the time on his phone. It was 3:30 in the morning.

After they packed up, they took the dog downstairs. They didn't plan to wake up Lei Minghu and the others. After all, it was the middle of the night and both families had children.

The most important thing is that there are a lot of people on the farm.

However, as soon as the two of them went downstairs, they received a call from Lei Minghu.

"Xiao Lu, what happened? Do you need help?"

Although he knew that there was a night watchman named Tangyuan in the building, Lei Minghu had not dared to sleep soundly since he was climbed over the wall on New Year's Eve.

So as soon as Han Ying and the others went downstairs, Lei Minghu woke up.

They were going out in the middle of the night, so something must have happened.

"There was a thief at the farm, but we've caught him. We'll go over and deal with it. You can come back tomorrow morning. I've left the car keys under your door."

Lu Yuan didn't intend to hide it, and there was nothing to hide, so he just said it directly.

"Can I go with you? Teacher Qin can drive, too."

Lei Minghu said this and started to put on his clothes.

"Brother Lei, please stay. Your family needs you more."

It's still the middle of the night and no one can guarantee whether anyone else will come to climb the wall.

It doesn’t matter whether Lei Minghu is on the farm or not, but with him in charge at home, everyone feels a lot more at ease.

"Okay then. Be careful. Call us anytime if you need anything. We'll be there right away."

Lei Minghu did not insist, he understood what Lu Yuan meant.

When the RV started, Qin Qinghai and Lin Ting, who lived next door to Lei Minghu, also woke up.

The two men put on their clothes and walked to the window, just in time to see the RV driving away.

I sent a text message to Lei Minghu and received a reply quickly.

They knew it was a farm issue, but it was clear they couldn't help.

He sighed, added two pieces of firewood into the stove, and curled up on the kang.

The snow on the road was already quite thick, and even in a field RV, we couldn't drive too fast.

Knowing that the farm would be busy soon, Han Ying took the time to eat in the RV.

After taking care of the dog first, Han Ying sat in the passenger seat and ate instant noodles.

It was really like eating instant noodles, but they were boiled in water and filled with beef chunks and two poached eggs.

After a bowl of beef instant noodles, I had a serving of pancake and a piece of taro crepe, which made me barely 70% full.

Han Ying moved to the driving seat and Lu Yuan sat in the passenger seat to eat.

Lu Yuan also had a bowl of beef instant noodles with a poached egg, two rice balls and two soup dumplings.

After eating, the two of them did not forget to spray deodorant in the car and on their bodies.

When we arrived at the farm, before the car stopped, we saw a soldier waiting by the side with an oil lamp in his hand.

After the two men and the dog got off the car, the soldier came over to greet them.

"Comrade Han, Comrade Lu, the company commander asked me to wait for you here. Should we go see the captured people first, or join the search?"

Erhua glanced at Tangyuan who was following Han Ying and asked.

When Han Ying heard the man speak, she recognized him as Erhua. Without much greeting, she said directly, "Let's go search first. How many people have you caught?"

"We arrested 35 people. According to their statements, they were divided into three teams, totaling 62 people, and they came in from different entrances."

These people used to work on the farm. If they paid attention, it would not be difficult for them to find out which places on the farm were less frequently patrolled.

And they dug holes from those places, after all, there was a fence around the farm.

"Lieutenant Liu just said someone escaped from the farm?"

Lu Yuan turned his head to look at Erhua and asked.

"It's just a guess, because we checked the three entrances and found signs of people climbing out, but we don't know exactly how many escaped."

As they spoke, Erhua had already led the two men to the area their captain was searching.

The farm is too big, and a lot of crops are planted on it, and iron sheets are built everywhere to block wind blades and heavy snow.

So at first glance you can't see where the person is hiding.

The remaining people must be caught before work starts at 9 o'clock, otherwise they will blend into the crowd after work starts.

If the time comes, someone ruthless enough might kill a few people inside, and it is not impossible that someone else might take the place of the dead.

Before Han Ying and her team came, there was only one military dog in the entire farm.

The farm is so big and the weather is so cold that every time I take a breath of air I feel like my trachea and lungs are frozen, so it is not friendly to the military dogs' search.

When they arrived at the place, Han Ying dressed the dog in a full set of equipment. Fearing that the cold air would be bad for its lungs, she also put a double-layer mask on it.

The most important thing is that the mask has no effect on Tangyuan's sense of smell, which Han Ying has tested many times.

“Wearing two masks, is this okay?”

Although Erhua knew that Han Ying and her friends' dog was very powerful, wearing two layers of masks would probably have a big impact on a dog that relies entirely on its sense of smell.

Han Ying chuckled and said, "It's okay, it's used to it."

Then Han Ying patted the dog's head and told it in its ear to find those who were hiding.

Han Ying had just finished putting equipment on Gouzi when she saw a group of soldiers carrying oil lamps coming towards them.

"We suspect that some people have taken shelter in these corn stalks, but there are too many of them and the smell is a bit strong. The military dog has been searching for so long and has inhaled a lot of cold air. It has been sneezing all the time. We need to let it rest for a while."

Liu Hefeng heard the barking of a dog from afar and knew that Han Ying and Lu Yuan were coming.

He walked up to the two people, pointed to the piles of corn stalks in front of them and explained the general situation.

There has been a harvesting competition these two days, and the harvested corn stalks, potato seedlings, and sweet potato vines are temporarily piled here.

It's not piled here to be used as firewood.

The seedlings and leaves of hunger-resistant potatoes also contain solanine and cannot be eaten directly.

However, after a little processing and roughly extracting the solanine, it can be ground into powder and used as feed for livestock on the ranch.

As for corn stalks, corn leaves, and sweet potato vines, although they are a bit rough, they are non-toxic and contain certain nutrients.

So these will also be sent to food processing factories, then ground up and salted to make pickles, or simply ground up and sold as vegetable powder.

Of course, you can also put it together with miscellaneous grains to make miscellaneous grain cakes.

Can corn stalks be eaten?

In fact, apart from its rough taste, it is indeed edible and contains a lot of sugar and trace elements.

In addition to cutting the throat, it can indeed supplement some trace elements and sugar. Although the price is cheap, the sales are unexpectedly good.

Although corn stalks are not delicious, they are much better than tree bark.

When Han Ying and her friends first arrived in Jiangcheng, they went to the mountains outside to cut trees for a few days.

At that time, they met a group of people who were cutting down trees. They peeled off the bark and used the trunk inside as firewood.
