Sheng Xiping then told his parents about Zhou Qingyang and Chen Jie's blind date.
When Zhang Shuzhen heard that the woman was a nurse at the hospital, she was overjoyed and slapped her thigh, saying that this was a good match.
On the evenings of the sixth and seventh days of the Lunar New Year, Sheng Xiping was on duty. Pan Fusheng, Zhang Zhijun, and others happened to have nothing to do, so they went to the security department to chat and play cards with Sheng Xiping.
With these friends around to laugh and joke with, I'm not lonely at all.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the forestry team started working, and Sheng Liancheng and his son packed their bags and took the small train up the mountain to work.
Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan went to work, and life returned to its usual routine.
On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, which is February 28th in the Gregorian calendar, primary and secondary schools in Qianchuan resumed classes.
After playing all winter, some children were overjoyed while others were dejected. They carried their schoolbags, packed their holiday homework, and returned to school.
In the blink of an eye, peach blossoms are in full bloom, willows are green, grass is growing and birds are singing; spring has arrived once again.
The frontline workers stationed on the mountain came down in mid-April for a short rest period.
Following that, it was time for afforestation and forest fire prevention. The entire region worked as one, fully committed to the spring reforestation work.
Given the accident that occurred during afforestation last year, in which a student was attacked by a bear.
This year, the school decided that security personnel would carry guns and accompany the teachers and students to the mountains to plant trees, responsible for patrol and security work to ensure the safety of the teachers and students.
Most of the security personnel were demobilized soldiers. With them carrying guns up the mountain, any situation could be dealt with promptly.
This is the only option left. Spring afforestation has such a short time, and the number of forestry workers is limited. It's impossible to complete the task by relying solely on the workers.
In order to complete the reforestation task as soon as possible and ensure the survival rate of the seedlings, it is necessary to mobilize all staff and their families and the entire staff.
Sheng Xiping, along with several upper elementary school classes, planted trees in the newly logged area of the three branches this year.
He was in charge of patrolling and guarding, and he didn't need to plant trees, but he had to carry a gun and patrol around the afforestation and regeneration sites, firing a shot every now and then.
Try to drive away any wild animals in the vicinity to prevent further accidents from happening to the students.
That afternoon, Sheng Xiping wandered around the woods for a long time with his gun on his back, but found nothing unusual.
I was just thinking of heading back to meet up with the teachers and students at the school and then returning to the forest farm when I suddenly felt a gray shadow flash past me.
The shadow was moving very fast, and Sheng Xiping subconsciously quickened his pace, chasing after the shadow.
After walking a short distance, there was a shrub-covered hillside. Sheng Xiping knew this place because there was a badger den here.
Badgers move slowly, but the shadow just now was agile and fast, so it definitely wasn't a badger.
Sheng Xiping's heart skipped a beat. He held his breath, slowed his steps, and slowly approached the front, keeping his eyes fixed on the front.
Sure enough, the gray shadow appeared ahead; it turned out to be crouching above the exit of the badger's den.
At this time, the sun was setting, and the light in the woods dimmed.
The creature above the badger's den was about the size of a dog, with dark black spots on its grayish-yellow fur.
This creature looks like a cat but is much bigger than a cat. It has two tufts of black hair on its ears and a ring of long hair around its neck.
Sheng Xiping knew this creature all too well; it was a lynx, also known locally as a mountain lynx.
At this moment, the mountain fox was lying motionless above the badger's den, and Sheng Xiping roughly understood what was going on.
So he tiptoed around in another direction, found a suitable shooting spot, and carefully hid.
Sheng Xiping stared intently at the badger's burrow entrance, and after a short while, he noticed a small head emerging from the burrow.
The little head popped out, then retracted, then popped out again, then retracted again, and so on several times.
This is a badger inside the burrow, observing the situation outside.
Every animal has its own survival habits, and to avoid being hunted by predators, badgers must always be vigilant.
It seems the badger felt there was no danger outside the burrow, so it poked its head out again, and its body was halfway out of the burrow.
This time, it didn't retreat. Instead, it turned its head to look left and right, and only after confirming that there was no danger did it slowly walk out of the cave.
Little did the cautious badger know that above the burrow entrance, in its blind spot, a lynx was watching it intently.
As soon as the badger came out of the burrow, the mountain leopard above leaped down and pounced on it like a hungry tiger, pinning the badger to its sharp claws.
Sharp teeth pierced the badger's neck in an instant. The badger was in excruciating pain and rolled around, trying to break free from the mountain fox's claws.
Just then, two more badgers appeared at the entrance of the badger's den.
It turns out that the three badgers arrived at the burrow entrance together, as they were going out to forage for food as a group.
After the first one was confirmed to be safe, it came out of the cave, and the two behind it followed closely behind.
Little did they know that the first one to emerge would suffer a devastating fate. The two that followed, unaware of what was happening, thought some prey had been delivered to their doorstep and hurriedly came out of the burrow to investigate.
When the results came out, they found that there was dust flying everywhere outside and the sky was dark, and they had no idea what was going on.
The two badgers were dumbfounded. They wanted to help, but they didn't know who to bite, so they could only watch helplessly.
By this time, the leopard's sharp teeth had pierced the badger's neck, and its claws had gripped the badger's spine. The badger struggled a few times, but could not move.
The badger stopped moving, and the lynx released its grip. The two bewildered badgers finally understood what was happening and pounced on the lynx.
The mountain fox had just gone through a fierce battle. Although it wasn't seriously injured, it had exhausted a lot of its strength.
