RBCT Chapter 65 Wolf-hunting Hero
Chapter 65 Wolf-hunting Hero
Ignoring the gazelles in the icy pit, Sun Changkui, being helped by others, continued deeper into the snow.
On the snow crust where bayonets were stuck, they found more than a dozen wolves, dying from blood loss due to licking the bayonets.
This also made Sun Changkui realize the weakness of the wolf pack: small groups forming large packs, and the new wolf king lacking authority and unable to control the situation.
"Go! Retreat!"
Seeing the wolf pack's weaknesses, Sun Changkui also came up with a plan to hunt the wolves.
If this wolf plague can be extinguished in a short time, Chen Tuo should be credited for his efforts.
Back by the campfire, I saw the young men from the forest farm cleaning up the wolf carcasses while retching.
Sun Changkui's recently calmed-down state of mind exploded on the spot.
"You bastard, what did I say? You'll scrub your guts clean with snow, and if you can't get them clean, you'll keep scrubbing them!"
With the stability of life in the forest area, the children who have grown up have lacked too much experience.
Chu Maolin is one, and every young security guard in the Forestry Bureau is better than Chen Tuo, who came from the city.
They can't endure hardship or fatigue.
Who will take over the cause that these people built by braving wind and snow, enduring hardships and suffering?
But thinking of his six rascals at home, Sun Changkui could only smile bitterly.
He couldn't bear to send his own child to beg for food in the snow.
"Brother-in-law Sun, how many wolves did I just kill?"
Ignoring the forestry bureau guards shivering from the cold, Chen Tuo was more concerned about his own hunt.
Although he aimed for the eye, the visibility was too low in the snowy night, and his familiarity with the gun was too poor.
Aside from a few shots where he felt he hit something, Chen Tuo had no confidence in hitting the other dozens of shots.
"Seven heads is already quite good. They're cunning and wolfish. If you aim for their eyes, you definitely won't hit them."
There was no need to ask Chen Tuo how he fought; Sun Changkui explained his fighting style.
Back then, the reclamation teams in the Lesser Khingan Mountains suffered the same losses.
The wolf in front of me moved sideways, tilting its head, using the snow curtain as cover. Aiming at it through the reflection in its eyes would only waste bullets on the snow.
"Only seven heads?"
Recalling the imposing aura of unleashing dozens of slugs, it turned out that only seven wolves were hit.
Chen Tuo sighed softly, it seemed that his talent in shooting was only average.
"Seven heads is quite a lot, Master Wu, could you come here for a moment..."
Judging from Chen Tuo's performance at the shooting range, it was really just so-so.
But even a top player might not be able to replicate his performance tonight.
Just as Chen Tuo said, with guns and cannons in hand, there was no need to fear any wolves or tigers.
But at this point, one's mental fortitude is crucial; the slightest hesitation or reluctance to push forward will result in being overwhelmed by the wolf pack.
Sun Changkui sincerely praised Chen Tuo, and then pulled Wu Laowai into the snow.
"Master Wu, could you let these youngsters have the gazelles in the icy pit and the wolves with bayonets hanging from them?"
After dealing with the situation and scolding them, Sun Changkui still had to shamelessly help Chu Maolin and the others. He was quite helpless.
The living conditions in the Xingan Mountains are extremely harsh, and the seven-month-long winter makes life there very monotonous.
Many children of forestry workers would rather leave and become drifters than stay in the forest area.
The shortage of skilled workers in Songling Forestry had already been evident for some time.
Why did the Forestry Bureau choose Chu Maolin?
Putting aside his lack of military skills and his incompetence in dealing with people.
Despite his tendency to meddle in other people's business, Chu Maolin is commendable in terms of his sense of responsibility.
Young people look down on grassroots work, so they lack grassroots work experience.
The older generation is hesitant to entrust important tasks to these young people who lack grassroots experience and are still immature.
Talented and capable young people, once they start to stand out, will first think of leaving Songling.
This is the awkward situation that the older generation of forestry workers in Songling had to face.
"Sun the Cripple, this is none of your business with me. It concerns Little Blind Chu, so I'm afraid that kid won't agree to your request..."
Pointing out the grudge between Chen Tuo and Chu Maolin, Wu Laowai posed another difficult question to Sun Changkui.
"That kid may have forgotten things, but he's definitely not someone to be trifled with. If you dare to ask, he might just swoop in and do something outrageous!"
Wu Laowai didn't respond, so Sun Changkui had no choice but to go back to Chen Tuo, but before he could finish explaining his request, he was met with a cold shoulder.
"Brother-in-law Sun, as an educated youth, I should support the work of the Forestry Bureau, but I am currently an unregistered resident, and hunting is crucial to my livelihood."
"Why don't you tell me about the wolf plague from back then? I'm planning to write a piece called 'Blood Wolf Plain' and submit it to Longjiang Literature and Art Publishing House."
When Chen Tuo brought up "Blood Wolf Plain," which only had one title, Sun Changkui knew that his gentle refusal had turned into a subtle attack.
The tip of a pen can kill without drawing blood.
If he were to truthfully write about the behavior of Chu Maolin and the others, all his previous efforts to defend them would have been in vain.
"Xiao Chen, don't rush to write about hunting wolves. I'll report your deeds to the Forestry Bureau tomorrow, and maybe we can even award you a 'Wolf Hunting Model' title!"
After going around in circles and spending several days on the same thing, things have come full circle.
Just as he, Secretary Wei, and Director Chu had thought, this unregistered educated youth harbored quite a bit of resentment.
If it's just resentment, it's not a big deal.
But Chen Tuo is indeed quite skilled with his pen.
Before Longjiang Literature and Art Publishing House publishes the poem that he gave to Hong Ye, they must have checked the author's identity and experience.
When the phone was called to Songling Forestry Bureau, Sun Changkui, one of the witnesses to Chen Tuo's gift of the poem, received the news not much later than Hong Ye.
Chen Tuo can write and publish, but once his grievances are put into words, the Songling Forestry Bureau will be the most affected.
The Forestry Bureau is now much more cautious in its treatment of Chen Tuo than before.
Providing a "wolf-hunting model soldier" to appease Chen Tuo is far more important than protecting Chu Maolin.
Just as Sun Changkui was in a dilemma, Chen Tuo changed his tune again.
"Brother-in-law Sun, if you're crediting for what you just said, then I have no problem with that. But crediting it to Chu Maolin is definitely unacceptable!"
After deciding on the beneficiary, Chen Tuo began to make his demands.
"Brother-in-law Sun, I'm an unregistered resident without proper identification. It's not right for me to live in the educated youth settlement. Why don't you rent it to me?"
Chen Tuo wanted to rent a settlement for educated youth, but Sun Changkui was not happy but worried. It seemed that he was not planning to leave!
Due to the advancement of logging, the firewood storage area at Xiaoyangqi educated youth settlement has been replaced by a new firewood storage area.
Songling may not have much else, but it has plenty of land, so renting out the idle educated youth settlement to Chen Tuo is not a problem.
The problem is that Chen Tuo staying in Songling will bring many uncertainties and hidden dangers.
"Xiao Chen, I can't make decisions about official matters on my own; this also needs to be reported to the Forestry Bureau."
The trouble caused by Chu Maolin was difficult to resolve, so Sun Changkui stopped dwelling on it and instead started talking about the wolf pack.
"Xiao Chen, Master Wu, please don't come to Hetao these next few days. I plan to let things linger, to prevent the wolf pack from dispersing or forming a unified force!"
When the topic of hunting wolves came up, Sun Changkui's face turned fierce.
Driven by revenge, the small wolf pack formed a larger pack. The wolf alpha lacked authority, creating opportunities for them to attack each other.
In icy and snowy conditions, at minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius, as long as the wolf tracks are not lost and they are slowly pursued, a wolf pack that has just formed a group for the first time may make a mistake.
The Dobukur River has unfrozen sections both upstream and downstream. If things go well, the wolves can be cornered, and the wolf problem can be solved in the next few days...
