In TV dramas, when people explore the wild, they often light a bonfire, and then a group of people sing and dance to have fun.
In fact, experienced travel enthusiasts all know that in principle, it is not possible to light a fire for warmth on an uninhabited plateau or grassland.
Why?
The main reason is that fire sources will attract the attention of wild animals. Whether they are hungry or curious, the wild animals will come over to take a look.
Then I saw a few fragrant humans moving around. Isn't this a proper midnight snack for the beasts?
Some people may say that TV novels often say that beasts are afraid of fire. The protagonist can scare away jackals, tigers and leopards with a torch.
Nao, you also said this is on TV and in a novel, so no need to explain more, right?
The Ming Tombs was not a tourist area in 1960. To put it bluntly, it was a cemetery area. The place with the graves must be in the wilderness and rarely populated. Otherwise, the traditional Chinese medicine hospital would not be able to obtain land to build a farm.
Moreover, the Ming Tombs are surrounded by the Taihang Mountains, and there are many wild animals, including wild wolves, wild boars, wild sheep, hares, etc., including leopards...
The opening of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Farm actually broke the ecological balance of the Ming Tombs.
Especially when more than 500 to 600 people live in the family compound, electric lights are turned on at night, or coal stoves are used for heating. In the dark night around the Ming Tombs, they are as eye-catching as torches.
Not only did it attract the attention of the farmers in the surrounding villages, but it also attracted the attention of the wild beasts in the mountains.
The danger is approaching silently at night...
Ye Shanmin and Zhu Xiaoxia are both 18 years old this year. Their parents are employees of a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, so they were also added to the branch list this time and came to Changping with their parents.
The two are similar in age, are classmates, and grew up in the same family home. They can be called childhood sweethearts.
So without telling everyone, Ye Shanmin and Zhu Xiaoxia secretly dated each other and enjoyed their beautiful first love.
While parents were worried about coming to the big rural village of Changping, Ye Shanmin and Zhu Xiaoxia were teenagers who didn't know what it was like to be worried, but were full of curiosity and yearning for their new home.
So they met after dinner and went for a walk in the fields of hope in the middle of winter.
Only young people who are not clear-headed in love are willing to take a walk in a temperature of more than ten degrees below zero.
The dormitory and office area are on the south side, close to the road, and the farm is on the north side all the way to the foot of the mountain, including a hill that is also the farm of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.
Ye Shanmin took advantage of the night and held Zhu Xiaoxia's little hand, and the two of them just wandered in the fields.
"Brother Ye, smell it, the air in this mountainous area smells so good..."
"Yes, not only is the air good, but you can also see the stars in the sky. It's so beautiful..."
"Brother Ye, will you always be good to me?"
"Yes. Anyway, we don't have study time anymore. I will go to your house to propose marriage later."
"Really? Brother Ye, you are so kind. Hmm..."
As the two of them were talking, the sound disappeared, and all they could hear was the sound of humming, as if their mouths were blocked by something.
Suddenly, Ye Shanmin seemed to hear something coming from the hillside behind him. He opened his eyes in confusion, wanting to look up.
As a result, Zhu Xiaoxia quit, thinking that you were distracted at such a romantic moment? Do you still love me?
"Brother Ye, what's wrong with you? Why did you stop suddenly?"
"Xiaoxia, did you hear anything just now?"
After all, boys are more vigilant, but once a girl is in love, she won't care about the small sounds around her, even if they are beating gongs and drums.
"No, hey, Brother Ye, do you see why there are stars on this mountain? Are they moving?"
"Stars?"
In the dark night, the outline of the mountains could still be seen clearly under the illumination of the moonlight. At this time, something green was moving at the foot of the mountain.
Zhu Xiaoxia was quite curious: "Brother Ye, I heard that the Ming Tombs are the tombs of ancients. Could this be the will-o'-the-wisp that the teacher said, burning with phosphorus?"
If experienced rural children already know that the wolves are coming, they must run away quickly or roar to ask their parents to protect them.
But the children who had just come from the city thought it was some natural wonder, and all they thought about were the mathematics, physics and chemistry knowledge taught by the teacher.
When the wolf suddenly roared, Ye Shanmin and Zhu Xiaoxia realized that they had encountered a wild beast.
"Run!!!"
At the critical moment, the two young men held hands and ran quickly towards the family home.
But in novels, if nothing else happens, accidents will often happen at this time.
The temperature in the mountainous area is more than ten degrees below zero, and the soil is frozen and becomes very slippery. When people are scared, their movements tend to deform.
So Zhu Xiaoxia staggered after running a few steps, and then fell face down on the ground, falling hard and letting out a painful cry.
Ye Shanmin hurried to help, but after several pulls, Zhu Xiaoxia could not be pulled up. Instead, the green wolves had already gone down the mountain and ran to the fields with worried eyes.
What should we do at this time?
Live and die together?
Sacrifice your life for justice?
Not to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but to die in the same year, the same month and the same day?
Ye Shanmin swallowed, and his mind went blank. The only thought he had was to run, run. This is what he thought and what he did, truly achieving the unity of knowledge and action.
Ignoring his girlfriend lying on the ground, Ye Shanmin stumbled and ran away, shouting as he ran:
"Help~~~"
"The wolf is coming~~~"
In the quiet night, the sound carried far away. It was only around 7 p.m., and every household was still awake. I heard someone outside shouting for help, and now the entire family area was in shock.
Lin Sanqi heard the cry for help outside and shouted to the old men in the room:
"Don't go out, lock the doors and windows, and try to block the windows and doors. Don't let any wild beasts rush in!"
These 12 elderly people are all national treasure-level traditional Chinese medicine doctors, and they are top priority.
Originally, Lin Sanqi should have stayed to protect them, but Lin Sanqi knew in her heart that if she really encountered a pack of wolves, would she let the employees of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital fight with their bare hands? The casualties must have been huge.
After all, he has a Type 50 submachine gun presented by President Fang of Qinghai People's Hospital, and a Type 52 pistol equipped by the hospital. He has the ability to fight back when encountering wild beasts.
"Xiao Lin, go quickly, we will find a way to protect ourselves."
Old people are also decisive, and this is how people become better with age.
I saw a few old men quickly throwing the dishes on the table to the ground, and then erecting the table on the fire pit to block the windows. Several other old men piled medical books and notebooks behind the table to increase the weight.
Before Lin Sanqi closed the door, he turned around and saw all this and was stunned for a moment. He thought to himself that these old men had really experienced the Anti-Japanese War and were well-trained.
But this was no time for joking. Vice President Ji had already picked up a stool and threw it before rushing out of the bungalow area. The 52-year-old man did not hesitate at all.
The leaders of this period were really on the front line, unlike the leaders of later generations who would just say "Let the leader go first~~~" when in danger
Lin Sanqi passed through the door of his dormitory, quickly put his hands on his waist, stuffed a few magazines into his pockets, and then rushed into the field with a submachine gun.
At this time, many men rushed out from the dormitory area, each holding a stick or shovel in their hands.
Before everyone could figure out what was going on, Lin Sanqi grabbed Vice President Ji and saw a black figure running in the distance. He pulled the machine gun safety and pointed the gun at the black figure.
"Stop, who?"
"Help, there is a wolf, help!"
"Hey, the voice sounds like the eldest son of Ye Wenyao's family."
Ye Wenyao also rushed out of the crowd, ran up to him, and hugged his son:
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, dad is here, it's okay, it's okay."
Ye Shanmin cried and shouted: "Something's wrong, Xiaoxia, Xiaoxia is still behind, the wolf is coming, the wolf is coming!"
The scene suddenly became quiet, and in the distance everyone heard the heart-rending cry of a girl in the field. Lin Sanqi was the first to rush out.
A few more male employees with flashlights followed and rushed out.
Ye Wenyao hugged his son and was completely stunned. Then he suddenly gritted his teeth and slapped his son on the face:
"Beast, you ran away alone? Are you still a human being?"
Ye Shanmin had collapsed at this time, crying and shouting: "You, there are wolves, there are wolves, Xiaoxia is going to be eaten."
What greeted Ye Wenyao was kicking him to death. No one stepped forward to stop the fight. Every employee looked at Ye Shanmin with contempt in their eyes.
At this time, Zhu Xiaoxia's father, Zhu Guangquan, also knew that his daughter had been left in the field and was being attacked by wolves, and he suddenly burst into tears:
"My daughter, my Xiaoxia, daddy is here~~~"
Vice President Ji was out of breath from running at this time. He was an old man after all, but he knew that this was a dangerous moment, so he shouted:
"Retreat, everyone go back to the house. Women and children, go away quickly. The wolves are coming~~~ Men who have guys in hand go to rescue people. Hurry~~~ Where are the people from the security department, hurry up and get weapons~~ ~”
The first night when the staff of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital came to Changping Farm, everything was in complete chaos. There were cries of women and children, roars of men, and the sound of Ye Wenyao slapping his son...
As Lin Sanqi ran, he heard the frantic cries for help from the girls in the fields. It was obvious that the wolves were already attacking people.
"Ah!!!"
"Help!!!"
"Dad, help me!!!"
Lin Sanqi quickly took out the pistol from his waist, and while running, he fired warning shots into the sky, finishing the shot.
But it seems that the effect is not good. Looking from a distance, in the field under the moonlight, a group of black shadows are still gathered together.
Lin Sanqi didn't dare to shoot at the wolves. There were still people inside. If the wolves were not killed later and the people were killed first, then he would no longer have to be a section chief.
The severe drought in the north not only affects people, but also has a great impact on wild animals.
The hungry wolves are desperate for a bite to eat, and even the wolves during this period dare to rush into the village and attack poultry and humans, which is very vicious.
16-year-old Zhu Xiaoxia faces more than a dozen wolves, her life hanging on a thread... (End of chapter)
