South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Yuan Mu glanced at him and then spoke lightly.

"Wait."

"How long do you have to wait?"

"Why are you talking so much? Shut up and wait for orders!" Yuan Mu glared at him unhappily.

Wang Xin was helpless and shifted his gaze while muttering to himself. This was just his personality. But this was much better than before. If it was the previous Wang Xin, Yuan Mu would never dare to bring him out.

Now they were unable to act, even though Er Meng had explained everything, including how many people were in the village, what the defenses were, which house Jia Jinlong was in, and the guards around him, etc.

But these things are not static. We cannot blindly believe in intelligence. We need to observe the details ourselves. What if Er Meng has a trick up his sleeve?

Now he is not alone, there are twelve of them in total. Since they have followed him, he must bring everyone back safely.

Nothing happened that night as everyone just lay on the hillside. It was now late at night and it was impossible to observe the situation in the village in detail. They could only wait for the arrival of daylight.

Yuan Mu was fine, and neither were the six soldiers, but Wang Xin and his four companions felt uncomfortable. It was the first time for them to perform such a mission. Although they had applied insect repellent on their bodies, the mosquitoes still stuck to their bodies, which was very uncomfortable.

A night passed and Yuan Mu didn't close his eyes at all. He kept staring at the village below. When the sun rose, he could clearly see the situation below through the telescope.

Villagers came out of the rooms one after another, but none of them went to work in the fields. Yuan Mu clearly saw that people holding AKs were distributing something to the villagers, but he couldn't see clearly what it was.

However, Yuan Mu guessed that it was most likely drugs. Sure enough, he soon saw villagers sitting or lying down on the spot or in a corner, holding a pipe, mixing tobacco foam and white powder into the pipe, then lighting it with a match and taking a deep breath.

The villagers who had smoked it immediately showed an expression of enjoyment on their faces, as if their whole bodies were sublimated.

"Brother Mu! Are they taking drugs?" This scene shocked Wang Xin very much. Although he had seen it before, he was still surprised when he saw it again.

"Yes." Yuan Mu nodded without turning his head.

"These drug dealers are so damn evil. Look at how old those kids are, and they've already made them start taking drugs!" Wang Xin gritted his teeth and said, looking down through the telescope.

Yuan Mu did not answer but continued to look around the village. Now he could clearly see the whole picture of the village. There were about a hundred houses, but the villagers inside were sparsely populated, and some of them might not have gone out.

Armed militants can be seen wandering around the village from time to time, but Jia Jinlong has not been seen yet.

The terrain of this village is quite complex. It is backed by the jungle and is not completely flat. It is somewhat like a stepped structure. The houses in the village are also densely built and well connected.

Of course, he could see clearly because he was looking down from a high place. If he entered from the front, it would be easy to get lost, and the styles of the houses here are similar, so you can't tell which is which.

"Paper and pen!" Yuan Mu stretched out his hand to the side.

Wang Xin quickly handed over a notebook and a pen, and Yuan Mu began to write and draw on it. Soon a map appeared on the paper, which was the topographic map of the village in front of him.

It is clearly marked above, showing which places are guarded, which places are turning, and which places are repeated.

"Brother Mu! That's awesome, you have this skill!" Wang Xin exclaimed.

"There are a lot of things you don't know." Yuan Mu said without raising his head.

At this moment, a soldier who was lying not far away and observing below with a telescope spoke.

"Comrade Yuan Mu, Jia Jinlong has appeared!"

Hearing this, Yuan Mu immediately put down the pen in his hand, picked up the telescope and looked down. He saw Jia Jinlong, a man wearing camouflage clothes and with a scar on his face, stretching lazily next to a house in the center of the village.

Yuan Mu narrowed his eyes. He finally found him. He thought he would never have the chance to see him again in this life, but there was still a fate between them.

"Brother Mu! When are we going to start?" Wang Xin looked eager to try.

"Pa!" Yuan Mu gave him a big slap on the neck and glared at him fiercely.

"You just know how to fight! Do you know their deployment? Do you know where their people are? Do you know how many armed forces they have? Do you know how many guns they have? How do you fight?"

Wang Xin rubbed his neck with a look of grievance on his face.

"But didn't Er Meng provide the information?"

"Can you trust a drug dealer? What if the information he gave is false? There are only twelve of us, and the number of armed drug dealers we have seen in the village is far more than this!"

"Er Meng's intelligence said that Jia Jinlong has more than an entire company of armed men. In addition to some ordinary drug dealers, there are also many veterans who have fought in wars. If you are not careful, you will lose your life. Can you use your brain?" Yuan Mu scolded in a low voice with a look of disappointment.

"Oh, I understand." Wang Xin nodded aggrievedly.

"Go away and reflect on yourself. I'm annoyed when I see you!" Yuan Mu waved his hand.

Wang Xin had no choice but to slowly retreat to the side.

Yuan Mu shook his head helplessly. He really didn't know whether it was right or wrong to bring Wang Xin here this time. He just wanted him to come and share in such a great credit, but this kid was still too young.

Oh! Forget it, it's my own choice, I have to bite the bullet and go ahead. I still have to be more cautious this time and nip any danger in the bud.

The days that followed were rather boring. All I did was lie there and keep an eye on the activities of the drug dealers below, taking turns to rest and eating compressed biscuits when I was hungry.

The compressed biscuits of this era were really not tasty, but they were good at helping you stay hungry. Their mission now was reconnaissance, and Yuan Mu planned to catch a spy at night to ask about the situation in the village.

This mission will be very difficult, especially since there are civilians in the village. They don't have guns, and Yuan Mu and others cannot shoot at them, which invisibly increases the difficulty of the mission.

Although these civilians take drugs, you can't prove that they are also drug dealers, which is very uncomfortable. Yuan Mu is thinking at this time whether he can lure Jia Jinlong and his gang out, but this is too difficult.

He shook his head and asked someone to watch. He took the map in his hand and called a few other people to walk to the nearby valley to prepare for a meeting, mainly to pool their wisdom and see what ideas everyone had.
