Chapter 63 Embroidered Pillow
Wu Laowai glanced at the five bonfires in the river bend, but didn't dare to suggest switching places with Chen Tuo.
When he was young, he witnessed a wolf pack hunting in Hulunbuir.
How should I put it!
Wolves are ruthless because of their patience.
They will gradually divide and surround, and gradually compress the surrounding area.
Although it was cold, and although I wanted to go back to the educated youth settlement to get some firewood to keep warm.
But Wu Laowai knew the answer.
In the Hetao region, Chen Tuo's decisive battle with the wolf pack might unfold the moment he turns around.
If you take a closer sniff, the cold wind is filled with the smell of blood.
If the fighting continues like this, either the wolf pack will collapse, or Chen Tuo will die.
"Kid, why don't you come up and hit me?"
"Uncle Wu, if I go up, will the wolf pack have to go up too? It'll be harder to fight them once we leave the river bend..."
Chen Tuo gritted his teeth and made a fierce gesture, and Wu Laowai didn't try to persuade him anymore.
Just as Chen Tuo said, this stalemate is for the best right now.
Once the wolves reach the shore, the scattered pack will rush into the town and surrounding area.
If the wolf pack collapses in the river bend, they will scatter along the river channel, making them easier to catch at daybreak.
But as the fight went on, Wu Laowai noticed something was wrong.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind picked up. The cold wind swirled the snowflakes, and when it hit my face, it felt like being cut by a knife.
"Kid, the wind's picking up. We can't fight in the river valley anymore!"
"Uncle Wu, shall we charge in and break them apart?"
Wu Laowai was about to retreat when Chen Tuo, who was having a great time, was caught off guard.
But they wanted to press down again to see if they could break up the wolf pack.
A wind picked up on the shore, and the natural embankments along the river blocked the snow, so the snow in front of Chen Tuo was much less than that on Wu Laowai's side.
Knowing that his vision was about to blur, Wu Laowai looked behind him before saying:
"Let's wait and see if the forestry bureau's security guards come. If they do, we'll keep fighting. If they don't, let whoever wants to fight, fight..."
"Uncle Wu..."
"Don't argue! The wolf attack was brought by the horse stable at the Green Water Forest Farm logging site, it has nothing to do with us. If you rush in, your eyes will be blinded by snow, and you'll only die in the wolves' mouths!"
No sooner had Wu Laowai finished speaking than the sound of orderly footsteps came from behind him, and Chu Maolin's voice rang out in the snowy night.
"On my command: two wolves of the '56.5' type paired with one '56.6' type charge, three people per group, three groups per team, charge into the river bend from the left and right, and wipe out the wolf pack!"
As soon as Chu Maolin finished speaking, the sound of a gun being cocked came from behind Wu Laowai.
Upon hearing the sound, Wu Laowai turned around and fired a whole magazine of bullets into the swirling snowflakes falling from the sky.
"Order them all! You blind little Chu, are you blind? With this much snow, rushing into the wolf pack's sack, are you looking for death?"
Although Wu Laowai didn't understand warfare, he was clear about the hunting formations of wolf packs.
There's no need to see how many wolves are in the river bend; with Chen Tuo on his left and right, there must be wolves lurking nearby.
One or two wolves are fine, but if there are more than a dozen wolves on each side, whoever goes down will die, following Chu Maolin's orders!
They were divided into groups of three, teams of three, and even left and right sides, making a total of eighteen people.
If these eighteen men were to descend into the river valley and get scattered by a pack of wolves, and start firing indiscriminately, things could get really messy...
"Wu Laowai, the security department has received an order from the Forestry Bureau to eliminate the wolf pack and prevent wolf attacks from occurring in the Songling area. Dispatch!"
"Let's see who dares! Aren't you all born of parents? With this much snow and this strong wind, what can you possibly catch down there?"
Chu Maolin was stubborn, but Wu Laowai held his empty M1 rifle level, blocking the young security guards from the Forestry Bureau's security department.
"Chu Maolin, this is the area under the jurisdiction of the Songling Town Armed Forces Department and the Xiaoyangqi Educated Youth Point Wolf Hunting Team. Who sent you here?"
Before Chu Maolin could give any more orders, Chen Tuo, whose attention had been drawn by Wu Laowai's burst of bullets, shouted out the reason why they could be stopped from going down to the Hetao region.
"Yeah! This is my turf! Who the hell let you come here?"
Just as Wu Laowai was about to get into a scuffle with Chu Maolin, gunfire suddenly erupted again from Chen Tuo's side below the river bend.
Chu Maolin arrived with his men, and the wolf pack in the Hetao region also launched an attack on him.
"Don't listen to that blind man Chu, listen to me! Stand on the shore with your guns and fire a burst!"
Although Wu Laowai blocked the Forestry Bureau's guards, they wouldn't act according to his orders.
For a moment, Chen Tuo, who was ambushed by the wolf pack, could only do his best to reload and fire.
"Blind Chu, if someone really dies, can you take responsibility?"
Wu Laowai's words made Chu Maolin, who was standing stiffly on the shore, tremble, and he reluctantly said:
"Fire one burst first..."
A barrage of gunfire erupted behind him, and the seven or eight wolves that had pressed in front of Chen Tuo vanished into the snowy night with a single turn.
After firing a shot into the snow-covered landscape in front of him, Chen Tuo turned and shouted:
"Uncle Wu, light the gas lamp! The wolves are running away! I just saw them clearly through the gunfire—there are hundreds of wolves in the river bend! Don't come down!"
Chen Tuo also heard Wu Laowai's warning to Chu Maolin.
If someone really dies, he'll probably be implicated too.
His basic needs for food and clothing haven't been fully met yet. If the Forestry Bureau were to take back the educated youth settlement, he would be homeless.
So once the wolf pack retreated, he didn't need to prepare any lies; he could just spout them off without thinking.
"Did you hear that? There are hundreds of wolves! Come down! Come down already! If you don't, then open fire!"
In Wu Laowai's eyes, Chu Maolin and his eighteen guards were all greenhorns who were not worthy of going up the mountain.
The head of the Forestry Bureau's security department, along with a group of veterans, were stationed in the mountains, which gave Chu Maolin, this all-around talent, the opportunity to swagger around.
These greenhorns are only good at patrolling the mountains and protecting the forests. If you really send them up the mountain to guard the logging sites with real weapons, it's all for nothing!
This time, the sparse gunfire, disregarding Chu Maolin's orders, rang out on the shore.
When Wu Laowai lit the gas lamp, all that could be seen in front of the nineteen people on the shore was a reflective snow curtain.
Let alone the wolf pack in the Hetao region, even Chen Tuo, who was only a few meters away from them, couldn't make out their figures clearly.
"With this snow, what can you expect to see if you listen to that blind man Chu's nonsense?"
Wu Laowai was indeed frightened by Chu Maolin.
If we go by his nonsense, and eighteen people rushed down the river bend, they would have been torn apart by wolves and fought among themselves. Who knows how many more would have died!
Chu Maolin belongs to Chu Mingshan's family; as for the others, no one will give them away for free.
They all died in the Hetao region. Not only was Chen Tuo implicated, but Wu Laowai and Sun Changkui also faced legal trouble.
"Master Wu, what's wrong? Did the wolves run away?"
As soon as the gunfire stopped, Sun Changkui, who had collapsed onto the snow and was sliding on a single crutch, barely made it to the Hetao region.
He took long strides, each more than two meters long, and went back and forth so many times that he broke one of his canes.
Finally, having exhausted all other options, Sun Changkui could only use himself as an ice sled and slide all the way to the Hetao region.
"Why the hell did you take so long to get here? As soon as that blind man Chu arrived, he opened his big mouth and was about to lead everyone down the slope."
"With this much snow, if they rush down and a wolf pounces, won't you all end up fighting yourselves? You'd deserve to be killed, but what if I get hit?"
As soon as Wu Laowai finished speaking, Sun Changkui, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly swung his cane and smashed it into Chu Maolin's calf.
"Fuck you! Tie Chu Maolin up! If he dares to run, shoot him dead..."
