"Hello, this is Ma Guoliang!" A familiar voice sounded from the receiver.
"Commander, I'm Jianguo!" Xu Jianguo said.
"Oh my god! You finally wrote to me, I was so worried! Where are you? What happened to the old leader and the instructor? Do you know that Jingzhou is in chaos?" As soon as Ma Guoliang heard Xu Jianguo's voice, the first thing he said was a curse, followed by a series of questions, which made Xu Jianguo laugh and cry.
"Commander, don't get excited, don't get excited! Both old gentlemen are fine. For safety reasons, we did not take the original route. We are now in Chunliuhe Commune in Yizhou. We found a village to stay overnight. If all goes well, we should be able to reach the base tonight!" Xu Jianguo said.
"Are the old leader and instructor with you?" Ma Guoliang felt relieved when he heard this and asked.
"Yes, please wait a moment!" After Xu Jianguo finished speaking, he turned and looked at the two elders sitting beside him.
After the two looked at each other, Su Dingshan took the phone. He never expected that the first sentence the old man said almost broke Xu Jianguo's defense. He couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hey, big face, what are you thinking?! Let Jianguo come alone to pick us up. Do you want to tire my eldest grandson to death?"
Ma Guoliang was helpless: "..."
After holding it in for a long time, he finally coughed twice and said, "Ahem, um, old leader, how are you?"
"Don't change the subject! Wait until I see you and see how I'll deal with you! I'm telling you, kid, your instructor's hands have been itching to get busy all the way here. What do you think we're going to do about this?"
"Old leader, I was wrong!" Ma Guoliang said with a frustrated look on his face.
"Hmph, just wait, Old Man Wu wants to talk to you!"
"Big Long Face, you idiot, are you itching for trouble? Do you know how exhausted my grandson is on this journey? Just wait, if you don't explain this to my grandson, I'll give you a spanking!"
Xu Jianguo was laughing as he listened to this. He thought that with these two great gods protecting him, wouldn’t he be able to walk around the base with impunity in the future?
Five minutes later, after Ma Guoliang agreed to a series of unequal verbal treaties, the tone of the two old men finally softened. After chatting for a few more words, they ended the call.
Xu Jianguo looked at the time and found that it was almost nine o'clock in the morning. He checked the route in his mind and found that it was still more than 500 kilometers away from the Dawali base.
At the current speed, it would take an estimated twelve or thirteen hours of continuous driving to arrive. Time was running out, so the three of them discussed it and decided to set off now.
After walking out of the office, the commune secretary was waiting outside the door with his men. When he saw the three of them coming out, he immediately came over to greet them. After exchanging a few words, Xu Jianguo took the initiative to say goodbye.
The secretary also knew that they had official business to attend to, so he did not try to keep them for too long, but instead sent them to the car.
While the two old men were talking to him, Xu Jianguo took out a barrel of gasoline from the trunk and added it to the fuel tank.
Unexpectedly, the 50-liter barrel of gasoline was not full yet, so he had no choice but to open the second barrel of gasoline and fill it up halfway before filling the tank.
After putting the oil barrel away, the three of them got into the car. After honking the horn, the jeep left Chunliuhe Commune and continued to speed north.
In the blink of an eye, it was eight o'clock in the evening and it was already completely dark.
On a dirt road in the mountains, two yellow headlights are moving forward as the vehicle bumps along.
Calculating the time, it has been nearly twelve hours since Xu Jianguo and his two companions set out from Chunliuhe Commune, and their current location is nearly sixty kilometers away from the Dawali Base. At the current speed, it will take more than an hour to drive.
Along the way, the three of them did not stop at all except to eat and go to the toilet.
At five o'clock in the evening, Xu Jianguo added the last barrel of gasoline in the trunk into the fuel tank.
As they got closer to their destination, the three of them couldn't help but become a little excited.
Even the fatigue in my body seemed to have eased a lot.
Finally, around ten o'clock in the evening, the three of them saw the gate of the Dawali base.
At this time, Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang were waiting in the open space in front of the base gate. They kept pacing back and forth, looking very anxious.
Suddenly, they heard the roar of a car engine coming from a distance, and immediately looked in the direction of the sound. When they saw the reassuring warm yellow car lights, they suddenly became excited.
"squeak!"
"Commander, Deputy Commander!"
As the brakes sounded, Xu Jianguo's familiar voice was heard. To their ears, it sounded like the sound of nature. The two had never thought that this brat's voice could be so pleasant to the ears.
Through the rolled-down car window, the two saw Xu Jianguo's slightly tired face, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
Just when he was about to say something, he heard a rough voice: "Big face, Dong Xiucai!"
When the two highest-ranking officers of the Binhai Base heard the voice, they shuddered and turned to look at the person who spoke with somewhat unnatural expressions.
There is a kind of fear called blood suppression, and another kind of fear called childhood shadow.
The fear of Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang obviously belongs to the latter.
When they saw Wu Tianlong getting out of the car, they were like mice seeing a cat. Scenes from decades ago instantly appeared in their minds.
"Instructor... Instructor!" Ma Guoliang swallowed his saliva, grinned with a smile that was uglier than crying, and shouted.
"Hmph! What are you two doing standing here?" Wu Tianlong asked.
"Aren't we waiting for you two elders? You must be tired from the journey. Come on, the house is cleaned up, go back and have a rest!" Dong Jixiang said, looking calmer than Ma Guoliang.
At this time, Su Dingshan, who was sitting in the car, rolled down the window and said, "Old Wu, why are you scaring them? Hurry up and get in the car, and let Jianguo go back and rest as soon as possible!"
When Wu Tianlong heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Right, right, right, what are you two still standing there for? Hurry up and lead the way!"
Xu Jianguo looked at the relieved expressions of Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang and couldn't help but laugh. He followed their car into the base gate.
Tai Wei was still driving, Guo Bin was sitting in the passenger seat, and Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang were sitting in the back seat.
After the two cars entered the base gate, they headed straight for the family area and soon stopped in front of a courtyard gate not far from Xu Jianguo's home.
