readx;? July 13th, afternoon!

The assault was connected to the order of the sixteenth not to assemble and continue the Long March. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Qingshan and other principal leaders of the assault company held a meeting and made specific statistics and distribution on the preparation of the troops, especially the grain reserves and the ideological mood of the soldiers......

The meeting lasted until dusk, but just as it was time to eat, there was a sudden cry from the village.

At first, everyone didn't care, thinking that it was another man who was drunk and beat his wife, Zhang Qingshan also wanted to let the seven babies go over to persuade him. But before he could speak, he suddenly heard a sudden increase in the cry, followed by a commotion, giving people the impression that many people were angry and arguing about something.

It is a pity that although Zhang Qingshan and others have been in contact with the Tibetans for some time, they do not understand anything other than a simple word -- even communication, which requires the newcomer to half-translate and half-use his hands to make a general understanding.

Everyone put down their bowls and hurried over.

I saw a group of people gathered at the entrance of the village, some crying, some crying, and some arguing.

Running over to take a look, Zhang Qingshan and the others were startled, only to see a man with a lot of blood stains on his body, and a woman on his left was pulling his clothes, screaming angrily. The man lowered his head and let the woman grasp him. To his right, on his right, is an ox cart followed by a number of domestic animals.

There were six bitten sheep on the ox cart, and three children knelt on the ox cart, one of whom was holding a small, but dead Tibetan mastiff, wiping tears and whispering something - the Tibetan mastiff has a very high status in the herdsman's family, equivalent to his own child, a member of the family.

This time, without anyone interpreting, Zhang Qingshan and others already understood: needless to say, they must have been attacked by wolves when they went out to graze - later understanding also confirmed everyone's speculation, but the process was slightly off: because they settled here, but they still lived by grazing, so water and grass were a big problem, so people here had to often go to distant places to graze, and the biggest enemy was the wolves. Generally speaking, it is several families who unite together to graze cattle in distant places and defend themselves against enemies. The herdsmen raise Tibetan mastiffs in every household, but although the Tibetan mastiff is fierce, there is only one after all, and if several families join together to graze, just a few Tibetan mastiffs are enough to resist the wolves. But this time, because the family had relatively many livestock, they wanted to go to a place where water and grass were more abundant, and finally, instead of listening to the advice, they went farther away. After leaving alone, he was attacked by wolves, and even the Tibetan mastiff, which had not yet grown up, was bitten to death...... If the herdsmen who had not arrived in time when they heard the gunshots, I am afraid that not only would the cattle and sheep be gone, but even he himself would have been doomed, and the loss of livestock and his family would have lost their source of livelihood, and the consequences are unimaginable.

The reason why Zhang Qingshan and others could guess it was because this was the third incident they had seen of wolves attacking domestic animals: the first two were just wolves sneaking attacks, often running away with a sheep in their mouths, but now, they dare to openly attack Tibetan mastiffs and humans, which shows that they are becoming more and more rampant.

What is strange is that after the newcomer arrived in a hurry, he picked up a cane (that is, a wooden stick that had been used for a long time) and beat him, not only the man, but also the woman who was crying, and finally beat all the herdsmen who went with him. He yelled loudly while fighting, and looked very angry...... Unfortunately, none of the people in the assault company understood what he was yelling at.

Zhang Qingshan frowned and looked at it, and said to Hu Yingze and Peng Peng beside him for a while: "Old Hu, old Peng, whether it is to thank them for their help to us during this time, or the duty of our Red Army, I think we should get rid of this great harm for the villagers before leaving." ”

After speaking, Zhang Qingshan gritted his teeth a little and said indignantly: "At least we have to ensure that this kind of thing will not happen again in two or three years." ”

"Yes! I agree. However, it is best not to go against the local customs. Hu Yingze nodded in agreement, and Peng Peng was more direct: "Wait a minute, I'll ask Uncle Ka to ask about the situation, and strive to solve it at one time, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

Uncle Ka is the new head of the village. And in the local folk customs, the treatment of wolves is really respectful and hateful: the awe is because some of them worship wolves, and the hatred is naturally that these wolves eat their livestock. Therefore, in folk customs, they are not against killing wolves, but they will not eat wolf meat, and will 'bury' wolves in their own way. That's how the first two hits were dealt with. Many soldiers couldn't understand: Why are you not allowed to eat wolf meat if you have it properly? You are not even allowed to shave wolf skin. However, because Zhang Qingshan strictly ordered them not to inquire with military regulations, everyone had to keep their saliva and watch the herdsmen 'waste meat'.

After Uncle Ka hammered these people over, he finally screamed a few times hoarsely, and then all the Tibetans took action, and a sense of tension was clearly felt even by Zhang Qingshan and the others, who couldn't understand what they were shouting. What especially made Zhang Qingshan and others puzzled was that some people would actually frown and glance at them a few times, and the eyes were very complicated: anger, hatred, and helplessness...... Zhang Qingshan and the others who watched it were inexplicable, they didn't know what they had done wrong, and a good relationship would suddenly become like this.

In the end, if it weren't for Uncle Ka shouting a few more words and telling the Tibetans to hurry home with their heads down, I am afraid that someone would spit on them directly -- you know, although the Tibetans are brave and ruthless, they are very simple, and they are not good at it, or they will not hide their joy and anger. And they suddenly glared at the assault company, one or two were fine, but with so many people together, there was definitely a reason.

However, before Zhang Qingshan could go to find Uncle Ka, Uncle Ka hurried to them with an anxious expression.

After some conversation, plus comparisons, Zhang Qingshan and the others finally got a general idea, or knew the seriousness of the problem: the wolf is not only ferocious, but also very cunning, and it is also a very vindictive animal. If you fight them, you either don't make a move, or you must kill them all as soon as you make a move, otherwise, even if there is only one of them left, they will endlessly look for opportunities to retaliate. And the bad thing is that the assault company killed three wolves twice before, but did not kill them all, so the wolves will inevitably come to retaliate.

The reason why there has been no movement in the past few days, Uncle Ka estimates that there are two possibilities: one is that the wild wolf is cunning and will not act rashly, and the assault company has been fully armed for the past few days -- in fact, the assault company is a straggler in the defense of the fleeing enemy, and the stragglers bravely attack the village at night. Didn't give the wolves a chance. But now, since the wolves dare to openly attack the sheep, and there are few active herdsmen, it shows that they are ready, and the revenge is in the next few days; second, the wolves have not yet found the exact location of the target of revenge (assault company), but the group of herdsmen who went out a few days ago is attacked and comes back, and the wolves will definitely track them all the way, which is equivalent to attracting the wolves and allowing the wolves to find the target of revenge. That's why Uncle Ka beat them so angrily - don't think I'm bragging, I think I'm too much boasting about the wisdom of the wolves, but if you have the chance, you can ask, and maybe the answer will be even more powerful than what I said.

As for the herdsmen's angry glaring at them, it is easy to understand: in their simple thinking, they think that it is normal for a few domestic animals to be bitten to death by wolves, and that it is a kind of fate for these sheep, and they can only consider themselves unlucky. If the assault company slaughtered this group of wolves, they would cheer for the assault company, but they would only kill a few, and that was not deliberately causing trouble? Not scolding people on the spot was already the result of the assault company's good relationship with them during this period of time.

The revenge of the wolves is iron-blooded, even exterminating both humans and animals. Therefore, Uncle Ka will immediately let the people in the village prepare for the battle, and will immediately run to ask the assault company to help them kill all the wolves - because of some bad experiences in the past, Uncle Ka is afraid that the assault company will hear that the wolves are coming to retaliate and run away in fright, then the livestock of their families will be more auspicious. But because the assault company was a foreigner, he was afraid that because they did not understand the ferocity and cunning of the wolves, they would vent their anger on the villagers after suffering a loss, and the consequences would be equally serious. Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, he had to gamble: after these days of contact, he felt that the army in front of him would not leave the people alone, at least, this army not only did not rob their livestock, did not rape their women, did not arrest them to sell them as slaves, but also helped them do a lot of things, so he only gambled once, and had to tell the truth.

"Uncle Ka, thank you for your trust, please rest assured, since this mistake was caused by us, then we will definitely take care of it. ”

"No! No, ......" After shaking his hand and saying two words, Uncle Ka had to express with gestures while talking: Uncle Ka is a little more knowledgeable than the people in the village, or because he is older and well-informed, he has a slightly different view on things. He believes that there are more and more wild wolves nowadays, and they are becoming more and more rampant, and when there are more wolves and less meat, even if the people of the assault company do not provoke the wild wolves, the wolves will sooner or later attack the domestic animals and even the herdsmen. In fact, Uncle Ka still has a layer of meaning that he did not say directly: because the wolves are not only fierce, but also have a strong sense of revenge, coupled with the herdsmen's (under superstitious thoughts) fear of wolves, therefore, even if a wolf pack attacks livestock, the owner does not dare to really kill and injure the wild wolf, which causes the wild wolf to become more and more bold. If you continue to endure like this, it will definitely form a wolf plague at some point, and at that time, it will be a big disaster. Therefore, even if the assault company does not make a move, he plans to use money or other things to ask the assault company to help the herdsmen and wipe out the wolves on a large scale. At least for the next two years, the herders will not have to worry about the wolves.

"What are you going to do in two years?"

Uncle Ka smiled bitterly at Tian Guozhong, shook his head, and didn't speak. But the meaning is obvious: wolves can't be killed, and they will rise again in two or three years, and when the time comes, everyone will continue to fight with the wolves.

Sure enough, soon, the villagers began to nail doors and windows from house to house to strengthen the defenses, and the women began to sharpen their guns and knives...... In the noise, everyone's faces were solemn.

Zhang Qingshan also made a decisive decision: now help the villagers strengthen their houses first, and then put the whole company on guard after nightfall, and guard the village with shifts and ranking units...... At the same time, the cavalry was sent to report the situation to the superiors, and asked them to send people with sufficient weapons and equipment overnight: no matter whether there were wolves attacking tonight, after dawn, all of them took the initiative to attack and exterminate the wild wolves on a large scale.

After Hu Yingze finished explaining the situation to everyone and made everyone realize the danger of this battle, Zhang Qingshan came to power and said: "Comrades, everyone is not even afraid of death, but how many wolves are still afraid. ”

The warriors howled like wolves......
