In fact, An Moxue and her group were still some distance away from the target suspects. To catch up with them and then outflank them, they were very grateful to the two wolves for accurately guiding them.
They were about to catch up with the three people in front of them, but they were still completely unaware.
Zhao Gang gave the signal, and the eight men advanced in a flanking maneuver. Once everyone was in position, they began the arrest operation.
The eight people worked together, with two people responsible for one person and two others carrying out the interception.
An Moxue watched them punch and kick each other, sometimes pinning them to the ground, sometimes as blizzards raged.
Zhao Gang and his four companions were indeed elites; they could tell the difference in strength with just one move, and after a few rounds, they captured one of them.
With each person captured, the morale of the other two plummeted. Soon, another person was captured, and in the end, only Hu Fuyou remained. An Moxue, observing their moves, became even more certain that they were Mongolians, though she didn't know whether they were Mongolians from within China or from Mongolia.
Finally, under the relentless pursuit of Zhao Gang and his two companions, Hu Fuyou was also captured.
At this point, all three of Hu Fuyou's associates had been arrested.
Zhao Gang came to An Moxue's side and said, "Comrade An, thank you. We've caught them all, and we owe it all to you for finding their whereabouts in time."
An Moxue smiled and said, "As a good citizen, I have an obligation to help you catch bad guys. It's what I should do, nothing special. I see your skills have improved!"
"Not at all, I'm nothing compared to Comrade An. Comrade An, why don't you come with us? It'll be safer," Zhao Gang said sincerely.
"No, I'll go by myself. I can take the shortest route home and still make it in time for the New Year. If I go with you, it's uncertain. Anyway, we've already caught him. Also, please tell your comrades quietly not to expose me."
Zhao Gang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Comrade An, goodbye!"
"Goodbye." After saying that, An Moxue led the two wolves and quickly disappeared into the forest. From beginning to end, the three people did not know that they were captured so quickly because of An Moxue.
When Zhao Gang returned to the team, his teammates all looked at him. He quietly reminded his comrades that An Moxue had already left, and that they must be careful with their words while escorting the three suspects, so as not to expose An Moxue.
As soon as An Moxue and Jifeng Shandian were out of Zhao Gang's sight, they took out a snow sled and Jifeng and Shandian pulled her through the mountains and forests. Occasionally they would stop to hunt some game. Even so, they hunted a lot of pheasants and rabbits, a few wild deer and a few roe deer.
She calculated the time, first went to the ancestral graves, paid respects to her ancestors, burned a whole cartload of paper money and offerings of fruit and braised food. As she burned the paper money, An Moxue fervently prayed, "Dear ancestors! You must bless me! Many people are thinking of me, this little seedling. Please give me more blessings and good fortune so that I can live a long and healthy life!"
After An Moxue finished reciting, she was still wondering to herself, "Will our ancestors hear this?"
After paying respects to their ancestors, Gale and Lightning pulled An Moxue along as they raced through the mountains and forests, heading home.
Behind An Moxue's house, she had already packed up her snow sled and was leading Gale and Lightning rapidly toward her home.
When she returned home, she first lit a fire to warm the house. Although Old Ma would come to light the fire every day, since no one lived there, the amount of fire burned was not as much. But when An Moxue came back, she had to burn more.
After finishing the fire, An Moxue locked the door and went to the brigade headquarters.
Unexpectedly, a surprise awaited her as soon as she arrived at the brigade headquarters.
As soon as she pushed open the door of the brigade headquarters, everyone inside looked over. She also saw Chu Dongmei sitting in the brigade headquarters, talking to Village Chief Guo.
"Dongmei!" An Moxue was extremely surprised.
When Chu Dongmei saw her, she stood up from the stool and jogged over to her, asking, "Mo Xue, did you just get back?"
An Moxue looked at her and said, "Okay, wait for me a moment. I need to say a few words to Uncle Village Chief. We'll talk about it in detail when we get home."
Then, An Moxue walked up to Village Chief Guo and said, "Uncle Guo, I'm back. I'm going back with my girlfriends now."
Village Chief Guo rarely smiled and said, "It's good that you're back. Go back now! Have a good New Year."
"Okay! Uncle Guo, Uncle Chen, let's go back now."
“Go ahead! Treat your friends well,” said Village Chief Guo.
Accountant Chen smiled and said, "Go ahead!"
An Moxue carried Chu Dongmei's backpack and left the house with her.
As soon as they went outside, Chu Dongmei said, "How was it? Weren't you surprised? When I received your letter and knew you were back, I was thinking of coming to spend the New Year with you! I didn't expect you to be so busy."
"I was away for a few days, just helping out with some things for the army. But you've come at just the right time; I just got back. Come on, let's talk when we get home." An Moxue was quite happy; she had thought she would be spending the New Year alone this year, but Chu Dongmei had come instead.
"Well, I guess my luck is pretty good!"
"Of course!"
The two chatted and laughed all the way back to An Moxue's house.
Before entering, An Moxue said to Chu Dongmei, "Dongmei, I raised two wolves. They're adults now. Don't be afraid when you see them! They're very smart and won't hurt you."
An Moxue opened the door and led Chu Dongmei into the house. Two wolves came out when they heard the noise, and Chu Dongmei was still startled despite being mentally prepared.
"Mo Xue!" Chu Dongmei gripped An Mo Xue's arm tightly, watching the gale and lightning.
Upon seeing the strangers, the two of them immediately became alert, their eyes fixed on Chu Dongmei.
An Moxue quickly stopped them, "Gale! Lightning! These are my friends, treat them kindly, not enemies. Don't intimidate them, do you hear me?"
Gale and Lightning glanced at An Moxue, then at Chu Dongmei, and withdrew their attack. They circled around An Moxue and Chu Dongmei once. An Moxue said, "Dongmei, they remember your scent! Don't be afraid."
After they finished looking around, they went to the side.
Chu Dongmei patted her chest and said to An Moxue, "Moxue, those two wolves are so majestic! So clever! My heart is still pounding."
"Come on, let's go inside. I just added fuel to the fire; it should be warm inside now."
"good."
The two went into the house together. Chu Dongmei looked around the house inside and out and said, "Mo Xue, this is really nice. It's a secluded house, far away from people, so it's much more convenient to get a good meal here."
"Hmm, how many days can you stay?"
"I'll go back on the sixth day of the lunar new year."
"I've been cooking you delicious food every day these past few days, I guarantee you won't want to go back."
"That's great! What delicious food do you have here?"
"There's so much good stuff out there, I'm just worried you won't be able to eat it all. Are you hungry? You can make yourself a cup of malted milk powder or formula. I'll go to an elder's house first and tell them I'm back, then I'll come back and cook you something delicious. Come with me, let's lock the kitchen door from the inside so those two won't come in and scare you. Oh! By the way, there's hot water in the pot, you can fetch some to wash up."
An Moxue said this as she left the house.
