In the past, there were not only wolves in Northeast China, but also quite a few of them.

However, when I was about 18 years old, a group of beasts invaded the Northeast.

Relying on the gun in his hand, he killed wolves and wolf cubs on a large scale for fun.

Then, when the child was about six years old, a wolf took the child away.

The one carried away was not just a child. For some unknown reason, the wild wolf carried away children in many villages.

This led to another large-scale killing of wild wolves throughout the Northeast region.

After the 1970s, logging began on a large scale throughout Northeast China.

This has led to the gradual compression of the living space of many wild animals.

Logging is not what everyone thinks, the logging of a forest.

Instead, the felling is done at intervals, or wood of sufficient thickness is selected in a planned manner.

This will actually further reduce the space for wild animals to survive.

Therefore, even Niu Ma and his companions, who were frequent hunters, had rarely seen wolves.

Wild wolves are smart, and their ability to wreak havoc on villages is no less than that of wild boars.

Wild boars at most harm crops, but wolves have always targeted humans.

If a pack of wolves sets its sights on a village, three or five wolves will first go into the village in groups to steal chickens and pigs.

After some testing, the next target is the children.

And they really take it away.

Many men, young and old, have experienced a time when wolves roamed the village, so they are so scared when they see wild wolves.

Big claws, when a lynx makes trouble in a village, at most it will take away some animals.

But wolves can harm children.

From the perspective of people from Northeast China and outsiders, some say it's a tiger, some say it's a leopard, but no one says it's bad for children.

As long as it involves children, Northeastern people, regardless of gender, age or status, will fight to the death.

Niu Ma and his men both worked as mountain keepers. When they heard about a wolf pack, they wanted to get the wolf skins.

It's more about the sense of responsibility in my bones.

As for Lu Xinghe, when he looked into the eyes of the Wild Wolf King, he felt a provocative look.

After eating the roasted rabbit, the three of them also discussed the plan to catch the wolf.

Before the Wild Boar King was taken away, Niu Ma and his entourage had planned to live here permanently.

It's a good opportunity to explore the traces of the wolves.

Of course, Lai Fu and the other three were naturally kept by Niu Ma and his men.

the next day.

The large force set out in the direction of the Chaihe Battalion with full spirit.

I came here with nothing, but in just a few days, I gained a lot.

Moreover, Secretary Wang and the forestry officials promised that those who came this time would be able to make the first choice after the meat was presented.

It can give everyone more strength.

Carrying six unskinned wild rabbits on his back, Lu Xinghe walked last and chatted with He Xiaoyu and the other two.

"Husband, you really have to come back to catch the wolf! It's so dangerous!"

He Xiaoyu and the other two slept in the same room yesterday, while Su Xingruo and Li Ruonan went to bed early.

Only He Xiaoyu was worried about Lu Xinghe and waited until late at night before gradually falling asleep.

I also heard what they said.

"Well, there are no wolves in many low-lying mountainous areas. Those creatures harm children. Although they are not far from the village, we can't just ignore them if we encounter them."

"Ah? But it's very dangerous. I heard from my father that wolves hold grudges. You killed one yesterday, and last night I dreamt that you were killed by a pack of wolves. There was not a bit of meat left on your bones. It was tragic!"

Su Xingruo was very worried.

Lu Xinghe:. . . .

This little girl should stop setting flags!

"Sister Xingruo, don't talk nonsense, dreams are always the opposite."

He Xiaoyu hurriedly tried to stop him. In her heart, she couldn't bear to hear any bad words about Lu Xinghe, not even in her dreams.

Seeing He Xiaoyu frowning, Lu Xinghe hurried over.

"Oh, isn't it just a dream? We don't believe it. But the idea of ​​wolves holding grudges was made up by the old Tartars. They regard wolves as totems, so they must protect them.

However, if a wolf tries to take a sheep raised by the old Tartars, their arrows can be shot more accurately than hunting rifles. ”

Lu Xinghe said this and laughed. Rules and regulations like these are only for other people.

As long as the matter falls on their own head, how many people can abide by the rules?

When I was traveling in the wild in my previous life, I saw a pack of wolves carrying away the Tartars' yellow sheep from a village.

By the next day, the angry Tartars didn't even want to use the horses.

Riding a mountain bike and catching up with a pack of wolves is a brutal charge.

The wolf died a tragic death. It only felt relieved after almost all the wolves it encountered were repeatedly run over by the mountain bike.

Another two days and one night passed.

The large army finally arrived at Chaihe Commune.

After bidding farewell to Director Wang, Lu Xinghe followed the men in the village back to the brigade.

Before I left, I saw wisps of green smoke coming out of the house.

"Huh? Mom's back? Didn't she say she would stay for two or three weeks?"

Lu Xinghe looked at the three girls around him and said.

You know what, if mom brings my sister back, the big house won’t be big enough for them to live in.

Li Ruonan and Su Xingruo had to have someone to squeeze into the small room with him and He Xiaoyu.

"Probably not." He Xiaoyu shook her head. "It's probably Sister Wang who came to help with the heating. I gave her the key to our house."

"Ah? What's going on?"

When Lu Xinghe heard the word "key", he didn't react.

The earthen kang in Northeast China has to be heated every day in winter.

Otherwise, the alternating cold and heat would not only cause the house to crack, but even the earthen kang would collapse.

Generally, when a family goes out together, they will ask the neighbors to help light a fire.

But Lu Xinghe didn't care much about these. He would only live in this house for a while. When spring came, he would build a new house and would no longer need this old house.

"It's not easy for Sister Wang to take care of Xiao Hongmei. She always refuses to help us. Didn't we leave for a whole day a few days ago?

I asked Sister Wang to help me light the fire so that I could heat up the leftovers from the morning. ”

He Xiaoyu felt that she acted on her own and did not discuss it with Lu Xinghe.

I lowered my head and dared not look at him.

Lu Xinghe smiled bitterly when he heard that, thinking that he would be able to hug her left and right again.

However, this girl meant well, but her method was wrong.

Although the leftovers in his house are indeed better than the regular meals that most people eat.

But this kind of help which is a bit like charity is worse than no help.

A widow, especially one with a baby girl, has an extremely strong character.

You can beg for help humbly for the girl's life.

But for the sake of one's own dignity, one can even sacrifice one's life.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

Widow Wang doesn't have any land anyway, so if you really want to help, you can send her a few more chicks in the spring.

They just buy the eggs from the free-range chickens at a high price, isn't that enough?

Note: This generation of poultry can be raised, and the eggs can be given to others or eaten by oneself, but selling them is not allowed.

"Haha, my wife is so nice. Now I can sleep on a warm bed when I go home."

Lu Xinghe kept comforting her, and He Xiaoyu was now thinking about helping others.

This is a good sign.

This proved that all his lifelong efforts were not in vain.
