Wild 1979: From Fishing and Hunting to Becoming a Literary Master

Chapter 62 is never-ending.

"What the hell are you doing with those gas lamps? I'm keeping an eye on them for you, so hurry up here!"

Seeing Chen Tuo in the river bend, who was talking but didn't even stop shooting, Wu Laowai could only yell at him.

Back then, the reclamation team in the Lesser Khingan Mountains also encountered the same snowy night.

Of the forty-odd men carrying grenades, only six or seven survived!

If Chen Tuo were a skilled fighter, he probably wouldn't have been able to dodge that shot either, and would have become the first indirect victim of the wolf calamity.

"Uncle Wu, this is my front door. They can come and go as they please, but they can't just leave!"

There's no need for the wolves in the Hetao region to fight Chen Tuo to the death; he has his own set of rules for doing things.

The straight-line distance between Hetao and Xiaoyangqi educated youth settlement is only four or five hundred meters.

Even though it's a bit of a detour to get here, it's no more than a kilometer.

Wu Laowai lives in Songling Town, which is at least three or four kilometers away from here.

He had to be constantly on guard against wolf attacks unless he wiped out all the wolves in the Hetao region.

Chen Tuo not only ignored the advice but continued to fire. With no other options, Wu Laowai had no choice but to join the wolf hunt.

The town's most prominent militiamen had already followed Bai Long up the North Mountain.

Sun the Cripple wanted to gather another group of skilled wolf hunters, so he had no choice but to ask the Forestry Bureau for help.

In the back and forth.

What Wu Laowai feared was that before the forestry bureau's security guards arrived, the wolf pack would come out in full force and drown the two of them.

"Kid, don't rush. Aim carefully and shoot one shot at a time. These wolves have been beaten by the Russians before; they're not afraid of your hunting rifle!"

Chen Tuo was in the Hetao region and couldn't see the wolf pack's movements clearly.

Standing on the riverbank, Wu Laowai could vaguely see that after the gunshots, the wolf pack would retreat.

However, the water beads in his hand did not have such an effect.

This proves that the wolves were beaten by hunters before they came to Songling, and they were beaten quite badly.

If Chen Tuo fires indiscriminately and the wolves get used to the sound of gunfire, they might be swarmed by him.

One shot, one kill; the sharper the wolf, the more afraid it becomes.

If they fight well, the entire wolf pack will never dare to come to the educated youth settlement in the Hetao region again.

"Uncle Wu, I wanted to aim and shoot, but I couldn't see clearly! You should go back and get your gas lamp!"

"Then be careful, where did you put the bullets? I'll get you some more!"

"I brought them all!"

"You carry all 500 rounds with you?"

"Yeah, right! Didn't you tell me to bring it?"

Listening to Chen Tuo spouting nonsense in the Hetao region, Wu Laowai was truly impressed by his good fortune.

When he left in the afternoon, he only told him to take a few extra bullets with him.

Who would be a good person going out to test their gun, carrying 500 bear-hunting slugs?

Even if it's a paper-cased bullet, 500 rounds would weigh at least 30 to 40 kilograms, and possibly as much as 60 to 70 kilograms.

"Alright, you keep hitting it, I'll go light the lamp for you..."

Wu Laowai went back to the educated youth settlement to get a gas lamp and slowly beat Chen Tuo as he asked, but it didn't make things easy for him.

He did slow down his firing, but with two spies, he lit a campfire and pressed forward step by step.

It was completely dark, but the visibility in the Hetao area was actually higher.

The wolf's eyes, which were not very clear before, are now distinct.

Choose the closest ones, the ones you can see clearly. With one shot, a wolf flies far away with a miserable howl.

I don't know if it was the ginseng rootlets I had just chewed that had an effect, or the stimulation from shooting them one by one.

As Chen Tuo fought in the river valley, he became more and more excited and gradually moved out of the range of light from the last campfire.

As Chen Tuo stepped into the night, two wolves suddenly pounced on his side.

Before the two wolves could succeed, two gunshots rang out from the shore, followed by Sun Changkui's shout:

"Xiao Chen, don't be reckless!"

Sun Changkui vaguely saw Chen Tuo turn around and then shouted:

"Retreat step by step to the fire, keep them pinned down and attack them. The wolves retreat, you chase; the wolves chase, you retreat. Hold these beasts off, and we'll trap them like dumplings in a minute!"

Sun Changkui is missing a lower leg, so while he is skilled at crouching and shooting, he is not suitable for shooting in the Hetao region.

If he hadn't come, Chen Tuo would most likely have been pounced on by the two wolves that attacked him.

If you fall to the ground when facing a pack of wolves, you'll only be dragged away.

"Brother-in-law Sun, these wolves are quite sharp. You need to be careful to prevent these beasts from attacking the town and the forestry bureau."

Chen Tuo in the Hetao region was not only playing with great enthusiasm, but also with an exceptionally clear mind.

Bai Long has lured away the town's militia. If the wolf pack launches a surprise attack on the town, it will be troublesome for Sun Changkui.

"Holy crap! Xiao Chen, hang in there a little longer! Remember! Don't stray out of the fire's reach. I'll leave the gun on shore for you."

After giving Chen Tuo a few instructions, Sun Changkui first fired a warning shot into the air, then put down his American M1 rifle and quickly disappeared into the night, leaning on his crutches.

When Wu Laowai returned to the shore carrying a gas lamp and a pine pole, Chen Tuo had already retreated behind the two campfires that had been lit first.

"Kid, are you being attacked by wolves?"

"No! My brother-in-law told me to hang him up and beat him!"

"Is Crippled Sun here? Where is he?"

"When I got back to town, I was worried that the wolves might use a feint attack to sneak up on the town again, so I told him about it."

"Holy crap! We absolutely can't let the wolves storm the town!"

After expressing his feelings like Sun Changkui, Wu Laowai set up a pole and lit a lamp on the shore. Before he could gather up the snow, Chen Tuo stopped him.

"Uncle Wu, let's wait a bit before lighting the lamp. Let's keep them hanging and attack them for now. We can light the lamp when they run away!"

Whether a person is ruthless or independent is most clearly seen when things happen; this is what is meant by "actions speak louder than words."

From stabbing and bleeding to hanging and beating the wolf pack that came to seek revenge.

Wu Laowai also realized that the young man was not someone to be trifled with.

Don't be fooled by how easygoing the little brats are; if you really provoke them, they'll likely kill you.

Whether it was Wu Laowai, Sun Changkui, or Chen Tuo who knew nothing about wolves, they all thought the wolf pack would retreat at the sound of gunfire.

But reality was beyond their expectations. No matter how many wolves died, the encirclement in the Hetao region continued to shrink.

Chen Tuo, lying on the snow-covered Hetao Plain, was completely unaware.

But Wu Laowai, who was on shore keeping watch for him, noticed something was wrong.

"Kid, you can't go slow, you have to hurry! I have a feeling the wolf pack is about to pounce!"

"Uncle Wu, Brother-in-law Sun's gun is on the shore. What kind of gun is it? If it's a Type 56 semi-automatic, fire a few bursts at it!"

After Wu Laowai finished speaking, Chen Tuo had a plan in mind.

His idea made sense. On the shore, Wu Laowai found the M1 left by Sun Changkui, fiddled with it for a while, and then quickly fired a few shots.

"Kid, Sun the Cripple's gun fires too sharply and too fast; it might not scare them. Can you fire faster?"

Looking at the endless, relentless wolf pack, Wu Laowai began to feel apprehensive.

As night fell and the temperature dropped, he felt weak and unable to stand after only a short while, even though he had just run and was covered in sweat.

If a cotton-padded coat absorbs sweat and then freezes, it will quickly turn into a deadly ice shell.

If you move slowly, it's fine, but once you stand still and it freezes, it's difficult to warm it up again.

"Hey kid, aren't you cold?"

Fearing that Chen Tuo in the Hetao region might not be able to hold on, Wu Laowai wanted to go back and gather some firewood to start a fire.

"It's warm here! Uncle Wu, if you're cold, come down and warm yourself by the fire..."
