Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 277 Quantity

Jiang Yu tied the knot of his hat to protect his ears, exhaled hot air, and hurried on his way with Fu Biao.

The other militiamen were quiet, perhaps because they were about to encounter a pack of wolves, or because they were still frightened by yesterday's scene.

This is also good. Jiang Yu feels it is great anyway. He doesn't have to listen to their nonsense and bragging. He can have peace of mind.

A strong wind blew, and the snow on the treetops fell to the ground with a muffled sound. The leader paused for a moment, making sure the wind had passed before leading everyone into the bushes.

Jiang Yu smelled the gradually damp smell in the air and looked around with some confusion. There should be a river nearby?

Fu Biao shuddered, "Why do I feel even colder?"

"The wind is strong, and it feels damp and cold here." Jiang Yu also shrank his neck, wondering why the constant temperature suits were not made with high collars? Now the neck is only protected by a big cotton jacket, which always feels not enough.

"Abundant moisture?" When Fu Biao heard the word damp and cold, he thought of the south. The winter in the south was also terrible. When the wind blew, it felt like the cold air was invading the gaps between people's bones.

"Maybe there is a water source nearby." said Jiang Yu.

Fu Biao also looked around, and then pointed at a line of low snow that was vaguely visible between the trees, "Is that the place?"

Jiang Yu stopped and looked in the direction he pointed. "Maybe. Anyway, we still have to be careful when we are on the road. If there is a low-lying area or a puddle, it will be no joke if we step in it."

The people in front also heard their conversation and became more cautious. The leader was also nervous. He had a heavy responsibility. If he led so many people astray and something went wrong, his whole family would not be able to work in the construction team anymore.

After leaving the water source, everyone turned onto a low hill with few trees.

The leader asked everyone to take a break, then turned to Jiang Yu and said, "We can see the wolf den after we climb over this slope. There are not many obstructions there, but we need to see how many wolves there are. If there are a lot..."

"How about you go back to where you were just now and wait? We two will go check out the situation?" Jiang Yu felt that it would be really troublesome for everyone to go together. They would basically be a burden. Why would he bring them along?

"The captain hopes that the militiamen can exercise more..." the leader explained with an awkward smile.

In fact, the underlying meaning is that the people in the brigade do not trust you.

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows, and he knew what was going on. "Then choose a few people to go with you. I can only guarantee that they won't die, and the rest depends on their own abilities."

The leader thought for a moment, and finally agreed to Jiang Yu's suggestion, because if more than a dozen people went up together, Jiang Yu would not have time to take care of everyone if something unexpected happened. "Okay, you take a rest first, I'll discuss it with them."

Jiang Yu nodded, and together with Fu Biao, they found a sheltered spot to sit down and drink water.

Fu Biao whispered, "They arranged so many people, are they here to experience mountain climbing?"

How many of them can help? Most of them are children from ordinary families. Although they have received a little training, they are idle on weekdays. What use can they be?

The last time our team encountered a pack of wolves coming down the mountain, these people gathered together holding torches, which seemed to have some deterrent effect, but in the end the wolves retreated, mostly because they had filled their stomachs.

Fu Biao didn't count how many elderly people in the village who were not mobile were killed by wolves that time, but he did take a look at the many tree branches marking the mountain in the following days.

Jiang Yu smiled, "That's not the case. They should really want to go up the mountain to hunt, but the road our guide took us to is obviously not where ordinary beasts gather. We came all the way here, except for the lucky encounter with a silly roe deer on the first day, what happened next?"

"So the team wants us to come and see the size of the wolf pack and wild boars? Maybe we'll go see tigers and leopards later?" Fu Biao frowned. Are they here to form a death squad under the pretext of winter hunting?

Jiang Yu shrugged. "I don't know. If the guide knows the direction, maybe he will."

Fu Biao pointed at the group of people with a very confused expression.

Just them? When they meet a tiger or a leopard, isn't that like throwing meat buns at a dog? ?

Jiang Yu curved his eyebrows and complained happily, "Isn't that because I didn't do my job well? Then the villagers can publicly condemn me!"

Fu Biao sighed, "That's impossible. These are all human lives. They won't let so many people die just to deal with you."

"That depends on everyone's luck." Jiang Yu said that if she really encountered one, she also wanted to see what the legendary most ferocious beast in Northeast China looked like.

Fu Biao suddenly became a little worried. If the guide really took everyone to look for tigers and leopards, would Jiang Yu be able to take care of them?

The homemade guns in their hands may explode, which is equivalent to having no weapons. Isn't that nonsense?

Now we can only hope that there are no such crazy ideas in the team.

But in fact, letting such a group of people in the team go with Jiang Yu to find the wolf pack was a very dangerous move in itself.

Are wolves some kind of benevolent herbivores? Just because they drove away the wolves some time ago, they are so arrogant that they think they can do whatever they want?

Jiang Yu took his backpack and pretended to take out a large cloth bag of stones from the space under the backpack, which was actually a space.

She opened the bag and pulled out a piece to check its sharpness.

This is a piece of stone that she has polished. Both ends are sharp. With Jiang Yu's strong support, it can directly penetrate the tree trunk and is just right for dealing with the beasts.

Fu Biao leaned over to take a look at her bag, and suddenly felt deeply moved. If Jiang Yu joined the army, she could kill countless enemies on the battlefield with just the stones she could pick up from anywhere. I wonder how much weapons money she could save for the country.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yu has no ambition in this regard, she yearns for a stable life.

Ginger Fish threw the stone back into the bag and tied it around her waist so that she could have it at any time.

Not long after, the guide came over with three relatively strong young men.

One of them was the man who shot and killed the roe deer last time.

"These three will go up the mountain with you, and I will take the others back to where we saw the stream just now." The leader pointed at the three people behind him and said, "It would be best if we don't alert the wolves. You just need to roughly calculate the number of wolves."

"Don't we need to kill them all?" One of the men asked with a frown. "The captain clearly asked us to kill some of the wolves to reduce their numbers."

"Wolves are very vengeful. If you kill their companions, the wolves will follow you and look for opportunities to take revenge." The leader did not recommend that they kill wolves because the consequences of provoking them would be serious, but when the captain made this suggestion, he did not refute it.

When the generals are away, isn't it up to them to decide what to do?
