"Awoo~"
The little Tibetan fox looked back at Zhuang Mingcheng, then lay down on the ground.
It has no desire to go to the high mountains.
Xiao Hua stood to the side watching, looking rather eager to try.
"They've gone back to the mountains..."
Zhuang Mingcheng sat on his horse, gazing thoughtfully at the dense spruce forest on the mountain.
This mountain range stretches for more than ten kilometers from east to west. If the bear has run up the mountain, there's no need for them to search for it anymore. The situation on the mountain is complicated, and they won't be able to find it anyway.
But having come all this way, he was still somewhat unwilling to go back like this.
"Xu Jinbu, take the first and second platoons and search the surrounding area."
"yes."
"Third platoon, first squad, follow me. The rest of you stay put and remain on guard."
Zhuang Mingcheng jumped off his horse, walked up to the little Tibetan fox, and patted its head.
"You little rascal, lead us into the mountains and search again. If we can find that bear from last night, I'll beat up the Pallas's rabbit when we get back and avenge you."
He took out the dried fish from his pocket and fed them all to the little Tibetan fox.
"Awoo~"
The little Tibetan fox perked up immediately and ran quickly towards the mountains.
Zhuang Mingcheng waved his hand and led a dozen or so people into the mountain.
The little Tibetan fox sniffed around while keeping an eye on the road ahead.
It led the group over a small mountain peak and into a rather wide valley.
Soon, a stream blocked the group's path.
The little Tibetan fox lowered its head and sniffed for a while, looking somewhat confused.
"Awoo~"
It looked up at Zhuang Mingcheng and called out.
"Commander, the wild bear should have gone to the other side. Should we go?"
"You wait here, I'll go take a look."
Zhuang Mingcheng took off his shoes, picked up the little Tibetan fox, and waded barefoot across the stream.
Once on the other side, he put the little Tibetan fox down. The little guy sniffed at it for a while, then looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"It's not working as expected. Oh well, as long as the bear doesn't come down the mountain and hurt anyone, it'll be fine."
Zhuang Mingcheng looked into the mountains and shook his head.
He picked up the little Tibetan fox and returned to the other side.
"Everyone, return the way you came."
Zhuang Mingcheng took a few steps and looked back at the stream.
Judging from the direction of the flowing water, this stream should be the Golden Stream that my wife mentioned, and there might even be gold nuggets in it.
He shook his head, not caring, and turned to walk out of the mountains with the soldiers.
Back on the grassland, he sent someone to inform Xu Jinbu, and then led the rest of the men towards the regiment.
As we passed Tuboling, the little Tibetan fox on horseback suddenly stretched its neck and howled wildly in the direction of Tuboling.
Zhuang Mingcheng turned his head and saw two yellow Tibetan foxes peeking out from the top of Tubo Ridge, looking in his direction.
"Awoo~"
The little Tibetan fox still held a grudge and howled wildly at the big Tibetan fox in the distance.
"Alright, alright, forget about your stepfather. I'll cook you something delicious when we get back."
"Giddy up!"
The little Tibetan fox stretched its neck until it could no longer see the two yellow figures in the distance, then dejectedly slumped into the bag.
...
The group returned to their group after 5 p.m.
After arranging things for the company, Zhuang Mingcheng carried the little Tibetan fox and Xiao Hua back to his office.
Gao Dajiang happened to be there as well, and he gave a report on his search for the bear.
"They went up the mountain?"
Zhuang Mingcheng put down Xiao Hua and the little Tibetan fox, and nodded. "Yes, I took more than a dozen people to search the mountain. They should have gone deep into the mountains."
Gao Dajiang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
It's good to know where the bear went, otherwise it would always be a threat.
"Commander, this morning I led my men to kill four wolves on the grassland to the east. This afternoon, my little Tibetan fox led us to kill five more."
"Now that the pasture is lush and the small animals are active, many carnivorous wild animals have been attracted here. I suggest that when the regiment is training, we can search the surrounding area again and the wild animals we hunt can be used to supplement the soldiers' income."
Gao Dajiang nodded upon hearing this.
In just one day, we killed nine wolves. There are definitely more nearby, so we need to clear them out.
He crouched down, stroked the little Tibetan fox, and smiled.
"Xiao Zhuang, your little Tibetan fox really does have a nice nose."
"Awoo~"
The little Tibetan fox shook its head, turned around, and barked at Zhuang Mingcheng.
"Commander, my little Tibetan fox isn't part of the group. It led us to kill five wolves and found the bear's location. Shouldn't it be given a special reward? And my little flower, even if it didn't do anything special, it still worked hard."
"To get them to work, I used up all the dried fish that my wife had dried."
Upon hearing this, Gao Dajiang couldn't help but laugh.
But I must say, this Tibetan fox has such a keen sense of smell and is so obedient; it might come in very useful in the future.
"Alright, tell me what rewards they want. As long as it's not excessive, I'll approve it on behalf of the group."
"Could we reward one of the five wolves we killed this afternoon?"
Upon hearing this, Gao Dajiang couldn't help but look at Zhuang Mingcheng.
This kid really doesn't hold back when he opens his mouth.
After hesitating for a moment, he nodded. "Alright! We'll reward the two little guys with a wolf. This little Tibetan fox is so smart, you tell Xiao Lu to make sure it's well trained."
"By the way, the regiment has approved the rifles the farm applied for. Go to the warehouse to sign for them and give them to Comrade Xiao Lu. She's your wife, so teach her well. You absolutely can't let anything happen to her."
"yes."
Zhuang Mingcheng also smiled.
Calling out to Xiaohua and Xiaozanghu, he first went to the warehouse and got a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle and fifty rounds of ammunition.
