Chapter 70
Trailing
Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Kai immediately put down what he was doing and ran over excitedly. He ran so fast that he tripped over a brick and nearly fell.
He quickly steadied himself and ran to Grandpa Li in two steps.
They bent down, stretched out their hands and started to clean the garbage on top. After cleaning out the two hooves, the old and the young worked together to pull them out, which was very strenuous.
The thing that was pressed underneath was finally pulled out, and a fat and big yellow cow appeared before our eyes.
"Grandpa, it's a cow. It's so big." Xiao Kai excitedly walked around the cow's body.
Grandpa Li rubbed his hands and was excited. After finding 18 sheep, he dug out a cow.
He examined it nervously, fearing there might be bite marks.
"Tuntun," Grandpa Li called out, turning his head.
The dog heard the noise and ran through the snow crust.
"Tuntun, smell this and see if there is anything wrong with it." Grandpa Li looked at the dog nervously.
Fang Xin put down his tools and walked over. "This old man is really good. He actually found such a big cow."
"Yes, yes, this should be a cattle pen."
After sniffing it carefully, Gouzizi nodded to indicate that there was no problem.
Grandpa Li patted his chest and said, "Fortunately, it's fortunate. If we couldn't eat it, it would be such a shame to eat such a big one!"
"Since we found something here first, let's start digging from here."
"good."
It was getting dark.
The three men dug out six cows. Only half of this snowpack was dug out, and the other half was not dug out yet. There were still four large snowpacks, and it seemed that the workload was still quite large, and it would take another two days to dig.
Fang Xin called out to the two of them, "It's getting late, let's stop here for today and come back tomorrow."
"good,"
"Xinxin, can you take it back this time?"
Fang Xin looked at the two large piles and realized that they could not be pulled back in one trip. "First load the truck with as much as you can. Cover the rest with snow and come back tomorrow to pull it back."
In the end, the big sled could only carry 9 sheep. The remaining 6 cows could not be carried at all. They were too heavy and the car could not move them.
A few people dug another big snow pit and buried the rest in it.
There is really only so much that a snowmobile can carry, and it can be hauled away in one load on a truck. It's a pity that no vehicle can get out of the thick snow crust.
Yesterday she went back and took a quick look at the ten military trucks. Two of them were actually able to drive.
Fang Xin shook off the snow on his body and called out to the two of them, "Let's go home."
Fang Xin brushed the snow off the dog and carried the dog to the back seat of the car with Xiao Kai.
Grandpa Li and Xiao Kai also shook off the snow on their bodies, loaded all the tools into the car, and cleared the snow off their shoes before getting in the car.
The snowmobile moved slowly forward, crushing the snow, making a rustling sound.
The wind was not very strong, and the cold wind carried the accumulated snow and pushed the car forward.
On the way back, I actually saw a few pedestrians here and there. They should be from the nearby villages. They were all carrying large bags and walking in groups of two or three. They were wary of people nearby and kept a long distance away.
When he saw the large bag of stuff in the back of Fang Xin's car, his eyes almost popped out.
The two people in the car were very nervous. The car couldn't speed up at all and it would be easy for others to catch up.
One man simply drew his knife and ran after the car.
When the others saw the man running after the supplies, they swarmed over as well.
Fang Xin simply stopped the car and did nothing.
She cannot solve every problem on her own, and she also needs to hone her problem-solving skills as a couple and adapt quickly to the current environment.
This is the current environment, where the law of the jungle has become the norm.
Grandpa Li did not hesitate, he opened the car door and walked out.
Xiao Kai followed.
Without saying anything, the two men drew their pistols and pulled the trigger at the same time, pointing towards the sky.
Everyone stopped when they heard the sound and did not dare to get closer for a while.
The man holding the knife had red eyes and he held the knife unwillingly.
Seeing that it was an old man and a child coming down, he thought he was fine again, so he shouted angrily, "Give me some of the supplies, and I'll leave right away."
Although Grandpa Li was reluctant, he did not give in. "No, why should we give you the things we worked so hard to find?"
He rolled his eyes and shouted, "You have so much, why don't you give me some?"
The people around were staring at the situation here like hungry wolves.
Grandpa Li knew in his heart that he couldn't open this hole, otherwise he would be eaten until nothing was left.
Seeing that the crowd refused to disperse, he gritted his teeth and fired a shot.
"Bang!"
There was a bang from the gunshot, and the bullet hit the man's thigh, causing blood to flow out.
Grandpa Li still couldn't bear to do it. He just wanted to scare everyone away and didn't do anything cruel.
The man staggered back two steps, but he did not cry out. Instead, he turned around, walked past the crowd, and limped away.
Seeing that they could not gain any benefit, the others also dispersed unwillingly.
The two returned to the car again.
This time, Grandpa Li did not show much emotion and said calmly, "Drive."
Fang Xin started the car and set off again.
After driving for about 20 minutes, the dog behind us started barking.
"Woof."
The dog leaned against the car window and barked out, "Woof woof woof."
Xiao Kai noticed something was wrong and asked, "Sister, what happened to Tun Tun?"
The dog couldn't have acted like a demon for no reason. He must have heard something. Fang Xin immediately realized, "Someone is following us."
Xiao Kai immediately turned around and looked outside, "Where is it?"
Fang Xin parked the car and immediately turned off the lights. "I'll go down and take a look."
Xiao Kai and Grandpa Li also opened the door and got out of the car.
The dog darted out.
The two people squatted in the snow, put their hands in their sleeves, and talked in a low voice, "Where do you think they live?"
"I don't know, it should be around here."
"Let's just follow them slowly. They will come home sooner or later."
"Okay, judging from the looks of the two of you, they should have eaten a lot."
One of the men gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry when we get there. Wait until they fall asleep and then kill them all. The food and lodging will be ours."
"Hey, their car seems to have stopped."
“The lights are off too”
"I hope we won't be discovered!"
"How is it possible? How could it be discovered from so far away?"
"Wait a little longer and see what they are going to do!"
Just as the two were puzzled, a dark shadow suddenly appeared and bit one of them on the back of the neck at an extremely fast speed.
After the dog bit the animal, it shook its head and bit it madly.
The dog bit very fiercely and traces of blood were already seeping out.
"ah……"
A miserable scream rang out, breaking the silence of the night.
"Fuck, what is that? Take it away quickly, ah..." The man stood up and madly shook the dog on his back.
Seeing this, his companion picked up a big stick nearby and hit the dog.
"Bang!"
The stick came down hard.
It hit his companion's back, making a dull sound.
The dog was often hit by Fang Xin's stick, and it had formed muscle memory. When it heard the sound of breaking wind, it immediately ran far away and avoided the attack of the stick.
"ah……"
"Fuck you, are you blind? Why are you hitting me?"
The companion explained in panic, "No, no, I beat the dog, but who knew that the dog was so sneaky and ran away again."
