Early in the morning, the rolling hills along the border were filled with thick fog.
Xiao Yue and Shi also came along the route and saw border guards who had rushed over after hearing the news.
They wore green military uniforms and carried guns. Although the skin on their faces was dark and cracked from wind and sun, their eyes were still filled with a firm and fiery light, which showed their determination to defend the motherland's territory to the end.
"Stay in the car!" Xiao Yue said, and then he got out of the car and strode towards the border guards. When they saw him, they saluted and said, "Deputy Commander Xiao! Did you also come here because you heard about the noise in Annan?"
Xiao Yue took the binoculars handed over by the border guards and said in a deep voice, "The situation is not good. Have you notified the camp?"
The border guard nodded: "We reported it to the camp immediately and said we would send more people over."
At this moment, Xiao Yue suddenly turned his head and pointed his gun at the mountains.
After a moment, the sound of disorderly footsteps was heard, and soon a militia team with pale faces ran over from the Annan border.
All the border guards raised their guns and pointed them at the militia: "Stop! What are you doing? When did you join the militia? Why did you come from the Annan border? Was the commotion over there caused by you?"
The leader asked in a deep voice. Xiao Yue observed this militia team with half-closed eyes.
Although it is called a militia, there are actually only four people, two of whom are familiar faces.
Xiao Yue pointed his gun at the men and said in a cold voice, "Why did you sneak into the Annan border? Didn't you see the boundary marker?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Xue Hao was startled, and then his eyes turned red. He immediately threw away the gun on his back and cursed inwardly: "Commander Xiao! We are innocent! We were all harmed! Three people in our militia died!"
Among the four, Xia Guiying had blood on her face. She wiped it with her hand, threw away the gun on her back, and looked dejected.
Seeing the two familiar people, Shi in the car raised her eyebrows. She had seen these two people when she first came to the border. The one named Xia Guiying was shot by Annan soldiers and her life was hanging by a thread. If she hadn't happened to come here, the grass on her grave would have grown tall. It was fate that every time she heard an explosion, she would run into this militia team.
"What do you mean?" The leading border guard frowned, but he did not put down his gun and remained alert.
Xue Hao wiped the cold sweat from his head and said in a sharp voice: "A few people have recently joined our militia team. They claimed that they were from other places and wanted to defend their country. They were all Chinese, so we believed them and even distributed guns to them. Unexpectedly, they were drug dealers hiding in the border and used us as human shields!"
"Captain Xiao, we didn't mean to cross the border. Those drug dealers are not Chinese at all!"
"They were sneaking around us, pretending to be militiamen, but they were actually planning to harm us. Many people in the village fell into the trap and were injected with strange drugs. Many people had problems. We realized something was wrong, and when we were trying to catch them, we were led to the boundary marker and into the border of the Annan people, and then something went wrong."
As he spoke, Xue Hao's face was filled with anger and pain, his hands clenched into fists. Thinking of the people who had been killed in the village, his heart ached even more. Those were just simple villagers who had never done anything bad, so why should they be injected with drugs?
Xiao Yue frowned, his deep eyes filled with emotions: "Drug dealers disguised as militiamen?"
Xia Guiying wiped the warm blood off her face again, her voice choking with sobs: "Yes, it's not just our village, other villages should have the same situation. I don't know whether it was allowed by the Annan military or these drug traffickers crossed the border illegally."
The villagers were in trouble, and their spontaneous militia team was to blame. Thinking of their painful appearance, Xia Guiying felt a pang of pain in her heart. Suddenly, she thought of something and looked up at Xiao Yue, saying urgently: "Captain Xiao! Where is the military doctor who took the bullet for me last time? Can she save the people in our village? They are all innocent!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Hao also became excited and said excitedly: "Yes, yes! We still have a female doctor comrade!"
Last time, Xia Guiying was shot and fainted. They all thought she was beyond help. But in such a situation, Xia Guiying was rescued. Maybe, that female doctor can treat people who were injected with drugs?
Hearing this, Xiao Yue paused, and the border guards around him looked at him.
Xiao Yue did not answer this question, but looked towards the Annan border: "Is Annan chasing you?"
Hearing this, Xue Hao's face changed, and he turned around to look over. He quickly blocked Xia Guiying and the other two behind him and said sternly, "It's clear that they have evil intentions and are trying every means to send drug dealers into our Chinese territory to harm people. We have done nothing wrong!"
Xiao Yue pursed his lips, his dark pupils filled with indifference. He made a quick decision and said to the border guards, "Take the person away."
The border guards responded in a deep voice and detained four people including Xue Hao.
Regardless of whether their words are true or false, they need to be investigated as they have just returned from the Annan border. Moreover, the drug dealers are vicious and cruel. They live together day and night, and no one knows whether they have been turned or even injected with poison. This needs to be checked.
"Captain Xiao?" Xue Hao looked incredulous. The border guards had already taken the four people away.
The Annan army was chasing after them to capture people, so it was not appropriate for them to appear in the negotiations between the two sides at this time.
The atmosphere on the border was heavy.
Shi was also sitting in the car, watching the border guards take away four people headed by Xue Hao. He frowned and looked at Xiao Yue who was still standing in front of the border. He could not sit still anymore, so he got out of the car and walked towards him. However, before he got close, he saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance. Annan soldiers arrived at the border in a car and quickly got off the car, spreading out in a fan shape, holding guns and with fierce eyes.
Xiao Yue led the remaining border guards, maintaining a neat formation, with firm eyes and no fear at all.
Commander Annan got out of the car with a sneer on his face. He took a step forward and said in stiff Chinese: "It seems that you already understand the situation. The Chinese soldiers have invaded our territory. You must give an explanation, otherwise you can't leave today!"
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the Annan soldiers around him gripped their guns tighter, their eyes alert, ready to attack at any time.
Xiao Yue stepped steadily into the confrontation area, his eyes calmly sweeping over the Annan soldiers who were on the verge of a fight.
He spoke in a clear voice, speaking fluent Annan: "Annan drug traffickers wantonly crossed the border and killed ordinary people in our Chinese villages. This is a deliberate provocation. I ask you to immediately conduct an internal investigation into this incident, strengthen troop management, and give us an explanation. Of course, if you insist on taking extreme actions and provoke conflicts, we will fight back."
