For cyclists who travel long distances, a flat tire is a deadly problem.
If he were in a town or near a village, he could at least go into someone's house and borrow an air pump. But Wang Tianxiao is now deep in the mountains, with only three dogs wagging their tails and watching him. There's no village or shop in sight, so he has no way to solve this problem.
It's true what they say, extreme joy turns to sorrow.
He gave a helpless, bitter smile and tried to cheer himself up: "As the saying goes, 'The dragon that soars too high will regret it,' and 'Things reach their extreme and then reverse.' 'A loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.' Perhaps because today went too smoothly, they deliberately pulled this stunt on me to teach me that one shouldn't become arrogant and forget who one is when things are going well."
However, while encouragement is important, it doesn't solve the real problems. All that remains are cars pulling their engines with their heads down and dogs living carefree lives.
There's no other way but to push it.
First, get out of the mountains, then find someone to borrow a gas cylinder from.
I just don't know if it can hold its charge.
Wang Tianxiao was not one to procrastinate. Once he finalized the plan, he immediately got to work, slowly pushing his bicycle forward.
But because the tires were flat and the things on the seats were too heavy, it was really difficult to push the bike. So he stopped and divided the things into several portions, putting a little on each dog's back so that they could share some of the weight.
“Three young comrades, as the saying goes, ‘an army is raised for a thousand days to be used for one’s own battle.’ I have always treated you well. Now that we need your help, I’m letting you do some things within your capabilities. I’m sure you won’t have any objections, right?”
"Woof woof woof!"
"Woof!"
"Waaaaahh ...
The three dogs answered him in unison: yes.
That makes things much easier.
In crucial moments, you still have to rely on your dog. People can disappoint you, but dogs won't.
Before we knew it, the moon had risen into the sky, the stars were shining brightly, and the entire Milky Way looked like it was covered with beans, densely packed with stars.
The stars in the sky were exceptionally numerous in that era, even more beautiful than those created with special effects in later generations.
Standing under the sky, it feels as if you could reach out and touch the stars.
Wang Tianxiao recalled a saying: "There are only two things in this world that can truly move people's hearts: a noble sense of morality and the endless starry sky."
Yes, that's very well said.
Wang Tianxiao walked along, lost in thought, humming to himself, and before he knew it, several more hours had passed.
I felt quite tired; my legs felt so heavy I could barely move; and sweat was churning in my crotch. I simply didn't have the strength to continue walking.
He found a sheltered ravine to stop, parked the car against the cliff, and plopped down on the ground to rest for a while.
I looked at my watch; it was already past 1 a.m.
It's been over thirteen hours since he set off at noon, and his energy is starting to wane. He's fine when he's not sitting down, but as soon as he sits down and relaxes a little, fatigue washes over him.
well.
If the "spiritual victory method" fails, then let's take a short break.
"Aying, Dahei, Dafeng, you three young comrades are in charge of standing guard. Whether the flame of revolution can be preserved depends entirely on you."
The three dogs wagged their tails at him enthusiastically.
He leaned against the rock wall, wrapped his coat tightly around himself, buried his head in his collar, and fell into a comfortable sleep.
In my sleep, I suddenly heard the dog next to me bark a few times.
He woke up with a start and found that all three dogs were looking in one direction and barking incessantly.
He rubbed his eyes, took a closer look, and instantly a chill swept away all his sleepiness, making it vanish without a trace.
He jolted awake and sat up.
In the darkness, on the hill ahead, three pairs of eerie green eyes were staring in their direction.
It's a wolf.
There is no shortage of wolves in Ziwu Ridge.
In winter, many times when people at the station open their doors in the morning, they will find wolves lying at the doorway, rubbing against each other for warmth. When they see people, they don't rush and calmly jump down the ridge and leave.
Of course, the presence of dogs is a different story.
Wolves are common wild animals in the Ziwu Ridge, large carnivorous beasts.
The wolves of Ziwu Ridge belong to the Northwest wolf family. They are considered to be large and powerful among wolves. Because they like to be active at night, they are also known as the Night Moon Wolf.
These wolves were once found in many parts of Northwest China, such as the Qinling Mountains and the Qilian Mountains. However, due to continuous hunting by humans, traffic accidents, and the shrinking of forests, their range gradually decreased, and by the 21st century they were an endangered species.
Despite being carnivores, wolves generally have a negative image, mainly due to their appearance and cunning nature.
Tigers or lions rely on their superior hunting abilities to overpower predators, and their numbers are relatively small, so people can often take precautions and respond based on their habits.
But wolves are different.
Once they appear, they are almost always in groups, with at least two, but it's uncertain how many there will be.
Many people believe that there must be an alpha wolf in a pack of wolves, but this is a misconception about wolves.
Even if a real wolf pack has dozens of wolves, it is divided into many small groups, with each group consisting of about two to seven wolves, rather than all wolves obeying a single alpha wolf.
Wang Tianxiao pulled the gun that was standing next to him and held it in his hand. The gun was already loaded with bullets, and there were two more in his pocket.
As a patrolman who had fought wolves many times, he knew that no matter how many bullets he had, it wouldn't matter. If he couldn't take down the wolf with three bullets, then the wolf would take him down.
"Three of them?" he said, narrowing his eyes.
I haven't felt this tense and excited in a long time.
With the spear in hand, the blood in his body began to boil, and boundless power filled his limbs.
He brought a gun back to Yangziling to hunt wild animals, and now these three wolves are the first stumbling block in his way. Whether he can get off to a good start depends on tonight.
If it runs well, it will definitely dominate the market in the future.
If you don't drive it properly, just leave it hanging on the wall.
Unlike Wang Tianxiao's composure, the three patrol dogs could no longer suppress their restless hearts and kept barking wildly at the wolf.
Dogs and wolves share the same origin, both belonging to the Canidae family, but dogs are a subspecies of wolves, having evolved from them.
Many people who have witnessed wolves and dogs fighting subconsciously believe that dogs, especially hunting dogs or patrol dogs, are stronger than wolves, but this is actually a misconception.
In fact, unless a dog is exceptionally gifted and has extraordinary physique, an ordinary dog is no match for a wolf.
Even the coyotes of the grasslands, the smallest of the wolf species, are not something that ordinary hunting dogs can handle one-on-one.
Wolves have natural physiological advantages over dogs, such as stronger bite force, better endurance, faster reaction speed for sudden acceleration, and higher intelligence.
Moreover, wolves, having lived in the wild for a long time, must constantly hone their hunting skills. They not only have to contend with the various escape methods of their prey, but also have to guard against harm from natural enemies. This fighting ability, forced upon them for survival, is far superior to that of dogs that are domesticated and wait to be fed.
Therefore, if a dog and a wolf of equal weight were to fight one another, the dog would have a 90% chance of losing.
