Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

Wang Haiyang and Jiang Sen were in the mountains, and every now and then they would have a shot of strong liquor. At first, it burned their throats, but after drinking it, they found that their whole body felt warm.

Even while searching for food in the snow, I didn't feel cold much.

Later, they got used to drinking it more and more, and the two of them would have a sip whenever they had nothing to do. In just a few days, they finished it all.

They dragged out five or six sacks from the supply and marketing cooperative, plus an extra small bag, which was given to them by Sister Ma as an extra gift.

The wine sacs were full again, and the two of them couldn't stop smiling.

I stayed at the field headquarters for a day and explained Xiao Ma's situation to Li Chaoyang in detail.

Luo Yongcai had already reported this, so Li Chaoyang said the same thing as Luo Yongcai: to be careful and not take any risks.

Before returning to the Fourth Brigade, Jiang Sen made a special call to the village committee, asking Hu Zhiqing to bring people to the brigade headquarters to pick them up. He and Wang Haiyang then boarded the post office's tractor and left the brigade headquarters.

On the way, they passed by the place where Zhao Erhu and his gang had robbed them again, and the two chatted and laughed for a while.

Upon arriving at the Fourth Brigade, they could see Hu Zhiqing and a dozen or so men waiting at the intersection from afar.

Before the tractor had even come to a complete stop, they rushed over, carrying six sacks. Without troubling Jiang Sen and his companion at all, the two of them carried them away one by one.

Even Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang were carried away by several unarmed men.

The tractor driver couldn't stop laughing.

"Hey! Wait a minute, Master! I still need to go to the livestock farm with you!"

Jiang Sen struggled to twist his body and shout.

The driver waved him off, "No rush! I'm going to the team headquarters, I'll go after lunch!"

This time, Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang not only traded their surplus prey for the supplies everyone needed, but also brought back an extra jar of soybean paste and a large bag of milk candy, causing a stir among the crowd.

After they had made enough noise, Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang's meal was also prepared for them.

They ate in the cafeteria.

He said to Ho Chi Thanh, "We want to go to the livestock farm again and get some fish. We'll freeze a few and eat them during the Lunar New Year."

Hu Zhiqing was somewhat tempted and wanted to go along as well.

Jiang Sen realized this and said, "Captain, if you're free, call Brother Shan along so we can go together. Otherwise, the two of us won't be able to bring back many!"

Hu Zhiqing turned his head to look at Dashanzi.

While eating, Dashanzi pointed at Jiang Sen with his chopsticks and said, "Following him, you can always get good food."

This is absolutely true and will stand the test of time.

Because Ho Chi Thanh has already seen it.

So, after the meal, the four of them took a bag of mushrooms, got on the tractor, and went to the livestock farm.

This time, they plan to stay there for one night.

Little did they know, a major event was about to occur that night.

Little Ma strolled out of his residence, looking around. People saw him and asked if he was looking for someone.

He said he was looking for Jiang Sen.

He was told that he had gone to the livestock farm with Ho Chi Thanh and others and was not there, so he left.

However, after dinner that evening, he quietly left while Liu Hongzhi, who was staying with him, was asleep.

On the way to the village entrance, Lu Xiu emerged from the shadows by the roadside.

Xiao Ma asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure the thing is still there?"

Lu Xiu nodded, "Yes! Wang Weimin told me personally."

"Wang Weimin is missing, and everyone in the team has been arrested. Now it's just the two of us. If you guys weren't so stupid, why would I have to take action myself?"

Xiao Ma's expression was more sinister than ever before, making Lu Xiu shudder involuntarily.

"Who knew that idiot Feng Chao would lose the stuff! And that Jiang Sen, the people in Kyoto contacted me from the beginning, telling me to find a way to recruit him into our ranks, but he's always been very resistant to me. Since you're in the same class and get along well, why don't you try recruiting him?"

"Hmph!" Little Ma sneered. "If you can't even handle this simple matter, what use are you?"

Lu Xiu lowered her eyes and head, looking very frightened.

Xiao Ma seemed quite satisfied and said, "He severed ties with his family. People outwardly sympathize with him, but behind his back they all look down on him. A person with no one to rely on is the best candidate for advancement. Since you're incompetent, then I'll take over!"

Jiang Sen never imagined that he had already been noticed by someone with ulterior motives.

They followed me all the way from Kyoto to the Great Northern Wilderness.

If he heard these words, he would definitely laugh out loud three times and say, "Thank you so much!"

"Shall we go now?" Lu Xiu asked.

"What else can we do? So many people have been arrested in succession. If we wait until the New Year to do it according to plan, who knows what kind of accidents might happen? It just so happens that everyone will be busy during the National Day holiday, and the captain will not be around, so no one will notice us. After it's done, we can leave this lousy place."

Lu Xiu nodded solemnly, "Yes!"

After saying that, the two headed towards the team headquarters under the cover of darkness.

Luo Yongcai and his colleagues held a small meeting in the office to organize the winter supplies needed recently, as well as the arrangements for the educated youth.

It was pitch black all around, and everyone else was already asleep.

At the top of the team headquarters, two dark figures flashed by and headed towards the last house.

That house was empty; it was in disrepair and about to collapse, and no one ever went there.

But tonight, Xiao Ma and Lu Xiu have arrived.

The gate was practically useless; it could be opened with a push.

The small courtyard was covered with thick snow, and the snow had almost blocked the doorway.

The two of them used both hands to clear the snow from the doorway and opened the door.

The roof was damaged, with half of it exposed, and the straw and wood on the roof were drooping.

Snow fell in and covered the kang (a heated brick bed).

Lu Xiu said, "Right here on the kang (heated brick bed)."

Xiao Ma turned on the flashlight, shone it around, handed it to Lu Xiu, jumped up, and lifted the tattered kang mat.

Remove the mud bricks from under the kang mat, revealing a dark hole.

Little Ma jumped in, bent down, and took out a burlap sack.

Judging from the way he carried the sack, you could tell that the contents inside were very heavy.

He jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed), opened the sack, and saw that it was filled with oil paper that was almost as thick as bricks.

Tie the sack shut, and with a pull, Xiao Ma lifted the sack up.

"go!"

Lu Xiu turned off the flashlight and left with Xiao Ma.

The two came silently and left silently.

Xiao Ma carried the sack in front, while Lu Xiu used a twig to wipe away the footprints behind him.

However, there was no way to pile snow at the doorway of the dilapidated house anymore.

Hopefully no one notices that.

Once they reached the main road, Xiao Ma put down the sack, told Lu Xiu, "You wait here," and then turned back to the team headquarters.

A short while later, he drove a horse-drawn carriage out from behind the team headquarters.

The bells on the horse's neck were removed, and a bit was put on its muzzle.

After the sacks were loaded onto the carriage, Lu Xiu jumped on, and Xiao Ma lashed the horse's rump with a whip and gave a low shout: "Giddy up!"

The carriage traveled along the main road towards the farm headquarters.

After arriving at the Second Brigade, they left the main road and took a side road, heading west.

As dawn approached, the carriage arrived at a mountain hollow.

A railway track winds its way through the mountain valley, leading deeper into the mountains.

This is the railway line leading to the forest farm for hauling timber.

Because this railway is very important, snowplows would come and go as soon as it started snowing, exposing the tracks.

Xiao Ma turned around and jumped onto the carriage. He opened the sack and took out the oil paper blocks one by one, arranging them neatly on the railway tracks.

Lu Xiu also started taking things out.

Soon, about twenty meters of railway tracks were laid out.

"Cover them with snow!" Little Horse said, covering the things with the surrounding snow.

After finishing, he took out a bundle of detonators with timers from the sack and placed it in the center.

He rolled up his sleeves, glanced at the time on his watch, and turned on the timer.

"These are our fireworks for National Day! Let's go!"
