Chapter 176 This Company Commander is Too Unreliable
Mei Ping and the others arrived in a Jeep.
Zuo Shouquan was riding his motorcycle.
Now that Zuo Shouquan isn't going, there's only one jeep.
You can't drive into the mountains; you can only drive down to the back of the mountain.
Mei Ping pointed at Liu Dameng:
"You, get in the car with us, I have something to ask you. The rest of you, follow the car to the back of the mountain. We won't drive fast, you can keep up."
Liu Dameng looked flattered and got into the jeep.
The vehicle started moving, and the rest of the militiamen walked forward.
The jeep stopped.
Mei Ping stuck her head out and asked:
"Don't you have horses and bicycles? Why don't you ride them?"
Lu Yao explained, "We don't know when we'll be back from the mountains. We can't leave the horse at the foot of the mountain, and we're afraid the bicycle will be stolen. If we leave it with the brigade, someone will take care of it."
"Yes, that's true. Public property should be cherished."
Mei Ping nodded.
Just then, Huang Yuejuan came running out:
"Hey kid, wait a minute."
Lu Yao stopped.
Huang Yuejuan came over and hung a woolen scarf around his neck:
"The scarf your mom asked me to knit for you is ready."
As she spoke, she winked at him.
Lu Yao knew that her mother hadn't asked her to do anything; this was something she had knitted for herself, and since there were many people, this was the only excuse she could use.
"Thank you, Sister Yuejuan."
Huang Yuejuan gave him very worried instructions:
Be careful when you go into the mountains!
"no problem."
Mei Ping, watching from her car in the distance, grew impatient.
"Hurry up and get going, stop dawdling!"
Then he got back into the car and told Zhao Jianguo, "Let's go."
Zhao Jianguo started the car and drove off.
Mei Ping turned around and asked Liu Dameng, who was sitting in the back seat with Wang Kun:
"Is your militia company short of manpower? How come you made a grown boy the company commander?"
Liu Dameng immediately perked up.
I've been feeling really depressed lately.
He had originally hoped that Yang Shouye could help his cousin avenge his brother.
Unexpectedly, Yang Shouye is now more cowardly than anyone else, and actually promoted Lu Yao to be the production team leader.
I thought there was no hope left.
He could only reluctantly work under Lu Yao to earn a living, but he never expected that this female bureau chief would appreciate him so much.
Including Lu Yao's eight militiamen, only he was qualified to ride in the jeep.
At this moment, when Mei Ping inquired about Lu Yao with him, she felt that her chance to take revenge on Lu Yao had arrived.
"Boss, this Lu Yao is actually a scoundrel!"
"Hmm? Why do you say that?"
Mei Ping just wanted to find out the inside story of the militia company, which is something every new leader likes to do.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly simple and honest man reacted so strongly.
As soon as he straightened up, he felt the jeep sway.
He said to Liu Dameng, "Don't rush, speak slowly."
Then he told Zhao Jianguo, "Drive slowly."
Liu Dameng was overjoyed to see that his superiors valued him so much:
"Sir, this Lu Yao is actually just a godfather; Ju Zhenghua is his godfather, so they insisted on assigning him to the militia company. He became a group leader right away, and within a few days he was promoted to deputy company commander. I've been doing this for over a year, and they still won't let me be a group leader!"
"Is he Ju Zhenghua's godson?"
Ju Zhenghua really didn't tell me about this.
Mei Ping frowned.
No wonder Yang Shouye and Zuo Shouquan were so polite to this young man.
This is looking at his godfather behind him!
I hate people who engage in nepotism the most!
Wang Kun, who was standing to the side, asked:
"I don't think so. I heard your militia company has wiped out hundreds of wolves in the mountains recently. Wasn't it his company commander who led the fight?"
“That’s not the case!”
Liu Dameng shook his big head:
"That was led by our company commander, Zhang Zongshan. I heard it all from Director Yang; it was pure luck. The wolf ran into a dead-end cave and they suffocated and burned it to death!"
Were you there at the time?
"I went later. If I had gone at the beginning, there probably wouldn't have been enough wolves to kill! There would have been no need to bother setting the fire."
"Hmm. What about your former company commander, Wang Biao? The pre-trial investigation department still has his case on file, and they'll investigate him again once he's recovered."
Liu Dameng shook his head even more:
"Impossible. Company Commander Wang treated us like brothers. It's all because of that Lu Yao. He targeted Company Commander Wang after we arrived. Now I realize that he just wanted to be the company commander, and Company Commander Wang was his obstacle. I suspect that Lu Yao murdered someone and framed him..."
Liu Dameng's explanation became increasingly esoteric.
Wang Kun and Mei Ping exchanged a glance.
Although he didn't completely believe Liu Dameng, his prejudice against Lu Yao deepened even further.
This is just someone who climbed up the ladder through connections.
No wonder Company Commander Zhang Zongshan still obeyed his orders; it wasn't because he was afraid of him, but because he was afraid of his godfather!
Soon.
The car arrived at the foot of the back mountain.
There is no road ahead.
Zhao Jianguo parked his car on the side of the road.
They got out of the car and waited for Lu Yao and the others.
From a distance, Lu Yao could be seen running ahead, with several militiamen chasing after him and throwing snowballs at him.
Lu Yao retorted with a smirk.
Mei Ping looked at it and couldn't help but sigh again.
"He doesn't act like a grown man! How can a company commander like that command respect?"
In the blink of an eye, Lu Yao ran over.
He took off his hat and used it to fan himself.
He was covered in sweat, steam rising from his head.
"It's so hot! You guys are driving too fast! Didn't you say you'd come with us?"
Zhao Jianguo glanced at him sideways:
"Of course we'll travel with you. As locals, you can be our guides. If we were locals, we wouldn't have asked you!"
The implication was that if they knew the mountain paths, they wouldn't need Lu Yao and the others.
The militiamen have all arrived.
They were having a good time joking around with Lu Yao, but when they saw Mei Ping's icy face, they all became quiet.
Mei Ping glared at him:
"Listen up, everyone! No horseplay allowed in the mountains later. Behave yourselves properly. We're not just facing wild animals; there's a real possibility we're dealing with ruthless killers!"
"yes!"
All anyone could do was give a single reply.
"Let's go into the mountains!"
Mei Ping gave the order and then took the lead, walking at the very front.
He beckoned to Liu Dameng, "You, come with me!"
Liu Dameng glanced proudly at Lu Yao, then scurried over and followed Mei Ping.
We reached Rabbit Ridge.
Go forward again.
Lu Yao spotted the crevice in the rock where he had hidden his gun in the distance.
Fortunately, it wasn't buried by the blizzard.
However, with Mei Ping and the others around, they couldn't go and get the carbine.
Lu Yao and the militiamen followed Mei Ping and the others.
They walked and chatted.
We've reached the Wild Boar Forest ahead.
Mei Ping and the others stopped.
Turning back to greet Lu Yao:
"Hurry up, with legs like that you dare to call yourself a mountain dweller? Come here, I need to ask you for directions."
Once he arrived here, Liu Dameng lost his sense of direction.
A vast snow-covered plain, a sea of trees.
He had only come here once before with Wang Biao, and he couldn't remember the original route at all.
Even if he's only been here once, an old hunter who's been here ten or eight times can still get lost if he has a bad memory.
The mountain winds blow the snow-covered hills so much that they keep moving, and you can't find your way without a good brain.
Mei Ping called Lu Yao over and asked:
"How do I get to the valley where you killed the wolves last time?"
Lu Yao walked over to take a look and pointed to the northeast corner.
"At one o'clock, go through this forest, walk for about half an hour, go around a mountain pass, then through a grove of trees in the valley, and then go uphill and you'll be almost there."
Are you sure?
Mei Ping had questions.
Liu Dameng looked at it for a long time but still couldn't explain it clearly.
How come this kid can explain things so clearly after just one glance?
Lu Yao looked at her and smiled:
"Sis, if you weren't so pretty, I really would get angry. It's not that I have a good temper, it's just that your looks always help you!"
Mei Ping frowned immediately:
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Zhang Jianguo also got impatient: "Show me some respect!"
Lu Yao laughed and said, "Alright, if you trust me, then listen to me and move forward. If you don't trust me, then go back, and I'll lead the men there myself!"
