Chapter 1067: Leaving China (Part 2)
Hulegen's father is a forest ranger at the Ejina Banner Forest Farm. He is mainly responsible for the forest farm in the East Juyanhai. He is not a native Ejina Banner, but a native of Chenbalhu Banner. During the war in his early years, he lived here, and then married and had children here, and has settled to this day.
Although he is not a native of Ejina Banner, Hulegen's father does not have to be much worse for the locals, especially the prairie pearl of Juyanhai. She still remembers that when she came here, she first saw Juyanhai at sunset. The beautiful scene he still remembers that when he came here, he still remembers that beautiful scene was unforgettable to this day. This is also the main reason why he took the initiative to be a forest ranger here.
However, the Juyanhai is no longer as it was back then. Hu Legen's father can no longer remember when the green grass was covered by yellow sand blowing from the west, and when the beautiful Juyanhai began to dry up. The government tried to plant a large number of poplar forests around the Juyanhai to try to stop the advancement of yellow sand. However, this was useless at all. Not only did the green grass on the pasture completely disappeared, but even the drought-tolerant poplar forest could not withstand the invasion of drought. Large areas of death made Hu Legen's father who planted these woods with one hand feel so painful.
On this day, as usual, Mr. Hulegen took his pipe and stool and came to the edge of the Juyanhai. Sitting under a poplar tree with barely branches and leaves, quietly smoking his cigarette pipe, looking at the Juyanhai in front of him, his eyes were blank and a little sad. In fact, the Juyanhai in front of him was completely different from the Juyanhai he saw when he was young. The lake was almost dry, and only a few low-lying areas in the distance still had some water left. The reeds on the lake had long disappeared, and all that was left was the thirsty and cracked bottom of the lake and the fine sand mixed with dust, which looked like a poor mountain and bad water.
"Dad! Dad!" Just as Hulegen finished smoking half a bag of cigarettes and watching the sun in the sky sink into the sand dunes in the distance, a sound of horse hooves trampling on the fine sand came from behind him. Then he saw a middle-aged man wearing a soft-fur hat and a fur coat approaching the horse quickly.
When the horse ran to Dad Hulegen, the middle-aged man used his extremely exquisite riding legs to pinch the horse's belly and tied the reins with his hands. The horse stood up and stopped in front of Dad Hulegen. While the horse's hooves fell, he jumped down from the saddle and landed beside Dad Hulegen.
"Sanxizi. Is there any news?" Hu Legen's father stood up impatiently and asked anxiously to the visitor with expectations.
"There has been a decision in the flag, but..." When the middle-aged man spoke, his face looked a little embarrassed, and he looked like he was eager to speak but stopped.
"Have they given up?" Hu Legen's father was stunned. He picked up the tobacco pot, put it in his mouth and took a hard breath, without realizing that the tobacco in the tobacco pot had just burned out.
The middle-aged man couldn't bear to see Hu Legen's father like this, so he quickly suggested: "We can actually find the Alliance..."
"It's useless, it's useless to find the alliance." Hu Legen's father quickly calmed down. He put the tobacco in his hand on the trunk beside him and buckled it, poured out the remaining ash, lifted his foot and completely wiped out the tobacco that had a little spark. Then he sighed heavily and said, "Their decision was right. In fact, when the flag was held, I already knew that this would be the result. This sand forest was almost dead, and Ju Yanhai was about to dry up. It was better to continue to waste manpower and material resources here to plant saplings. It would be better to put useful things in places that could be useful."
When the middle-aged man heard that Hu Legen said such clearly organized and insightful words, he couldn't help but be stunned, completely stunned.
"Boy, at least your father, I have attended the revolutionary study class held by the league. Can't I have such an advanced ideological level?" Hu Legen's father raised his hand and slapped the middle-aged man in the back of his head. He woke him up, laughed and scolded him, then stuffed tobacco into the tobacco pot again, lit it, and took a sip. His eyes were fixed on the burning clouds left in the horizon after the sun disappeared, and said, "I'm afraid I will find this scene again."
The middle-aged man said, "How could it be? Even if this forest gives up, can you always come?"
Dad Hulegen took a strong puff of cigarette and then vomited it heavily, as if he was vomiting cigarettes and sighing. He said, "I'm old! It's time to retire!"
At this moment, a wolf howl suddenly came from the north, shocking both of them.
The middle-aged man almost didn't think much about it, so he immediately stepped on the horse. Hulegen's father turned over and sat behind the saddle, took out the hunting rifle next to the saddle, and drove the horse as the middle-aged man ran towards the nearby village at a very fast speed.
Although the Ejina Banner has not appeared for a long time due to the desertification of grasslands, Hulegen and the middle-aged man have experienced the most serious wolves on the grasslands. He knows deeply what kind of disaster it would be if he met these vicious guys on the grasslands. What they most hope for now is that the group of grasslands are already full, or they are not coming for them, and that they can rush to a safe village before the danger arrives.
Unfortunately, wishes and reality always go against each other. When the horses on the two of them ran out of the sand protection forest, they saw more than a dozen grassland wolves emerged from the forest and chased them as if they had determined the target from the beginning. When the wolves chased the horse, they immediately spread their legs around the horse and bit them. This level of biting is not to hurt the horse. In fact, this biting cannot even bite the horse's running legs. They just want to panic and uncontrollably, thereby preventing the horse from running.
Soon the plan of the group of prairie wolves was successful. The panicked horse completely broke away from the rider's control and stopped running quickly. Instead, he jumped like crazy and kicked, trying to free the wolf around him.
Facing the crazy horse, even the best rider could not let himself sit on the horse. The middle-aged man and Hulegen both fell from the saddle. However, when they fell to the ground, they stood up very quickly and skillfully stood back to back. One was holding a hunting rifle, and the other pulled out the saber at the waist and looked at the wolves wandering around with great nervousness. As for the horse that was shocked, it seemed to have become awake after feeling relaxed on its body, and no longer jumped around and kicked. Instead, taking advantage of the attention of the wolf pack's attention on the two of them, they spread their hooves and rushed out, and in the blink of an eye it disappeared on the hill in the distance.
"Dad, we are going to be in trouble this time!" Seeing the horse leaving his master and running away alone, he looked at the pack of wolves around him with cold light and grinning. The middle-aged man could only smile bitterly with a hint of despair.
"Sanxizi, I'm sorry!" Mr. Hu Legen, who turned his back to the middle-aged man, did not have much panic compared to the middle-aged man. His eyes seemed to see through everything, and his expression seemed very calm, but he suddenly apologized to the middle-aged man for no reason.
This apology made the middle-aged man stunned for a moment and felt a little confused, but he quickly guessed that the reason for the apology might be that Mr. Hulegen thought he had come to find him and encountered this wolf disaster. So he comforted Mr. Hulegen and said, "Dad, this is not your fault!"
At this time, the three wolves suddenly rushed out under the cover of other wolves and bit them, looking like a tentative attack.
The middle-aged man reacted quickly, pulled his sword up and ran towards the wolf's belly. The middle-aged man who had experienced several wolf disasters knew that attacking the wolf's head and back was not very effective, and only the wolf's belly was their weakness. The wolf also had great intelligence. Facing the blade, his body twisted in the air and avoided it. After landing, he quickly jumped back, avoiding the sabre that had been chopped from above and retreated to the wolf pack.
Just as the middle-aged man fought against the grassland wolf, Hu Legen, who looked very old last year, seemed to be more agile and decisive than the middle-aged man who was dozens of years younger than him. When the hunting rifle in front of him, the wolf had already pointed the muzzle at the gun and pulled the trigger. After a loud bang, the wolf was shot back from the air by bullets, and the other wolf came from the left and was about to bite him, but he was not in a hurry. He raised the hunting rifle in his hand, and smashed the butt into the open wolf mouth with great accuracy, smashing the wolf mouth and the wolf head with a blow. Not to mention an old man, even those young and strong guys would not be able to sit there.
The two companions were killed in the tentative attack, making the wolves more cautious. They ran around the target, constantly putting pressure around, waiting for the target to unable to withstand the pressure and reveal flaws.
Only then did the middle-aged man feel that the group of prairie wolves in front of him were very different from the wolves he had encountered before. These prairie wolves should be smarter, smart enough to judge the situation, determine tactics, and know more about cooperating with each other. It feels like facing a group of warriors who have been through the battlefield.
When he felt the difference between the grassland wolf, he also felt that his father Hu Legen, who had known him for almost ten years, was completely different from the person he had in his mind. Not to mention anything else, his agility was enough to make people amazed. From the beginning, he felt that Hu Legen had been under most of the pressure from the wolf pack, and saved him several times in the temptation of the wolf pack. It can be said that if it weren't for Hu Legen's father, he would have fallen under the wolf's mouth.
Just when the middle-aged man was confused, Hu Legen's father suddenly took advantage of the temptation of the wolf pack and was blocked again, and suddenly stuffed a string of beast-tooth necklaces into the middle-aged man's hands. While continuing to be on guard, he said seriously: "Sanxizi, don't talk no matter what you see later, just run towards the village."
