On the winding country road, a shabby green passenger car was rattling and shaking as it drove forward.
Xiao Bai sat in the back of the car and felt like his butt was almost broken in half by the shaking.
"Uncle Datian... Uncle..., where does this... bus come from? It's too bumpy... It feels like it's going to fall apart in the next second." Zhang Kai sat at the very back of the bus. The rear end of the bus was even bumpier, causing his voice to tremble with an inexplicable sense of humor.
"Ah, this car was used to take you to school! Our place is remote and not many people came here before. It was our fellow villagers who did good deeds and contracted this piece of road. They sent a small car to pick you up and drop you off every day. I rode in this car when I was in school." Uncle Datian held the hunting dog at his feet that was vomiting due to the bumpy ride, and said with a look of nostalgia.
"Datian is right. Wow, this feeling really makes me miss it." My uncle who was sitting in the front said with a smile.
"You rode this car when you were in school? That must be more than 20 years old. There shouldn't be anything wrong with this car!" The car turned a corner, and Xiao Bai hurriedly pulled the curtain beside him. The next second, there was a tearing sound, and the last piece of curtain cloth on the car was scrapped.
Xiao Bai:...
While everyone was being thrown out by the inertia of the turn, she quickly stuffed the torn curtains under the seat, then grabbed the back of the seat in front. The next second, the cushioning on the seat in front suddenly became like powder, and fell down as soon as her hand touched it.
Damn! The fabric on the seats has deteriorated so badly, is this car still drivable?!
"Uncle Datian, is there anything wrong with the brakes of this car?" Xiao Bai asked fearfully.
Uncle Datian hugged the hound, which was dizzy and staggering due to inertia. He swayed with the car and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, this car is fine. I drive it every day. Just follow the rhythm of the car and relax."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bus suddenly made another sharp turn. Uncle Datian's body tilted and he grabbed the armrest next to the seat with one hand. As a result, there was a click, and the next second he and the armrest hit the bus window.
Xiao Bai:...
"Uncle, are you okay? When will we arrive? I feel dizzy! Ugh~" Xiao Yao was sitting behind Xiao Bai and was almost vomiting from the shaking.
"We're almost there, just hold on tight."
The group of people were dizzy from the bumpy ride, and after turning around and around for who knows how many times, they finally arrived at the first patrol point.
As soon as the car door opened, everyone, including the dog, had to rush out of the car. It was so painful. Didn’t you see that the dog was even vomiting from the shaking?
After the group of people had rested, Uncle Datian took out a book from his cross-body bag and opened it. It was full of colorful traffic maps and routes.
Uncle Datian flipped through the book and said, "This is the first time you've seen maps like this. These maps record in detail the transportation, humanities, geography, and other information of each province and county. In the past, when there were no mobile phones, we had to carry a color map like this on long-distance trips so we knew which road to take. Now you have mobile phones with navigation systems, so you can just use the navigation system to get to where you want to go. In the past, there was no navigation system, so we relied on maps."
Xiao Bai and others also came forward and looked at the map.
Uncle Datian turned the map to the column of the county where Xiaojia Village was located. On that page of the map, there was a small place circled in red, which was Xiaojia Village.
The map records the roads, rivers and mountains near Xiaojia Village in great detail, and also marks the heights of the mountains. From the map, you can clearly see what areas are included in the nearby 50 kilometers. Some of the winding mountain roads surround the mountains, while some places are far away from the mountains.
"I've marked out a fifty-kilometer area around our village. These are the points I've marked for patrol. We'll use drones, thrushes, and hunting dogs to patrol these areas, and together we can cover the entire area. Some of these areas are on the east-west provincial roads, making them more convenient for patrolling. We can drive there, but there are a few places in the north-south direction that we can patrol on the winding provincial roads, but we'll have to climb mountains to reach three of them. Let's start with the simple ones, come on."
After Uncle Datian finished speaking, he put the map away, clapped his hands and called the hunting dogs.
Then, under the command of Uncle Datian, the hounds ran towards the mountains from four directions. The thrush and its flock also divided into four teams, patrolling the sky synchronously with the hounds.
Xiao Bai and others were amazed when they saw the birds flying away and the hunting dogs barking as they ran into the forest.
"This is considered the army and air force animal patrol, right? Awesome! If we add a navy, we will have a complete land, sea and air animal patrol!" Zhang Kai clapped his hands and exclaimed.
Xiao Bai was speechless: "Water Army, what animal do you want to send? A duck? Will a duck listen to you?"
"Well, people should have dreams. Look at this bird now. Isn't it very obedient? Maybe the village chief and his men have a special way of training animals!"
What you said makes so much sense!
"Okay, stop standing there like idiots. Come over here and operate the drones. Come on, everyone, one each. Following the direction the hounds just ran, send out a drone in each of the four directions: east, south, west, and north."
Uncle Datian and Master Li took the drone that had been placed earlier from the car and directed everyone to operate the drone together.
"Drones have a limited range, so it's important to fly high enough to spot any obvious anomalies, like animals fighting or unusual plant growth. If you see anything unusual, take a picture and record the location. We'll then send someone to investigate."
