At any rate, he has also been the head of the branching field, even though he is just an ordinary employee now, but with Lei Meng's past behavior, he is still very popular and prestigious in the branching field.
Of course, there are more or less relationships.
I'm afraid that in the entire sub-field, he is the only one who dares not to take this new sub-field leader seriously.
Originally, it was never a child's play when it was about one's own life.
Raymond's rage was justified.
The point is that the practice of the head of the sub-field also chills many people, but most of them live their lives with the attitude of doing more than doing less. Anyway, they only get a salary of tens of dollars a month.
But the situation is different now. With potential danger, no one wants this kind of thing to happen to them, let alone their family members. In addition, they have accumulated a lot of grievances on weekdays, and they all directed at this surnamed Wang. The director of the sub-field blamed it.
Facing the accusations of a group of people, the director Wang could only sulk his head, how could he dare to speak.
In the end, it was the managers of other departments of the farm who came out to persuade and calmed down the matter, and asked Lei Meng to call three people to follow Lu Lu to fight wolves, and rewards were given after the incident was over.
In any case, this is also for the safety of the split, and it is a matter that cannot be sloppy.
Seeing that there were many people in front of the office building, Lei Meng simply ordered three familiar demobilized soldiers to go to the security office to collect guns, bullets, and horses, and meet in front of the office building after eating.
After arranging things, Lu Lu and Lei Meng walked back together.
"Brother Meng, you have offended the director of the sub-field, and the days to come will be even more difficult." Lu Lu said with a smile.
Since he can take over, it is enough to show that his relationship is stronger and more reliable than that of Raymond.
If this continues, Raymond will be even more difficult to mix in the future.
"What are you afraid of? With his cowardly behavior, he can still eat me up. He'll just fire me and tell me to go back to my hometown."
Lei Meng smiled indifferently: "It's just right, after I'm fired, I'll go find you, go hunting with you, and live a leisurely life, so as not to feel aggrieved here."
Hearing this, Lu Lu suddenly laughed.
Xue Shuqin went to work, and was not at home. Lu Lu and Lei Meng went directly to the straw house.
Hearing the noise outside, Chen Xiuyu greeted her from the room.
"Brother Lu, Brother Meng, why did you guys come back at this time... What a wolf!"
She soon noticed the four wolves on the wind's back.
She lived with Xue Shuqin last night, and she heard from Xue Shuqin that Lu Lu and Lei Meng would rush back to rest early in the morning, but she took care of the fur in the house by herself, and she never saw them When I came back, I couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Lei Meng told what happened last night with a smile, which made Chen Xiuyu startled.
"Brother Meng and I are going to hunt wolves in the afternoon, so you don't want to go. Skin the wolf skins here, and take out the wolf oil. As for the meat, send it to the canteen of the sideline team. How long will it take? Not sure, if we don't come back at night, you'd better live with your sister-in-law."
Lu Lu said with a smile: "When the wolf comes back, we should go home."
"Just the two of you?" Chen Xiuyu asked worriedly.
"Besides me and Brother Meng, there are three more, all of whom are demobilized soldiers with good marksmanship and a semi-automatic hand, don't worry!"
This lineup already has a lot of firepower.
Chen Xiuyu finally felt relieved, and she hurriedly called the two into the room.
The food had already been prepared, and after entering the room, the two of them didn't say anything more, they took the bowls and chopsticks and ate directly.
After eating and drinking enough, Lu Lu took out the hunting knife, skinned half of the unloaded wolf, cut the meat and fed it to Yuan Bao and the others.
A few dogs have been eating meat for a few days, even if they are not fed for a day or two, it will be fine. They will have to track the wolves later, and Lu Lu can only feed them half full. The key is to let them remember. The taste of wolves, dare to bite and eat.
Lu Lu also taught Chen Xiuyu the method of skinning wolves, and then called Lei Meng, and met the other three in front of the office building, and went to the No. 86 shack together.
The wolves encountered there had to be tracked from there.
The sideline team has a stud farm, and several people also led the horses and rode on. It didn't take long to arrive at the No. 86 shack, and followed Yuan Bao, the leader who was trotting into the woods sniffing the scent, and chased after it.
These wolves did not go all the way into the mountains, but fled along the edge of the forest.
The edges of the forest are sparse forests left after felling, next to a large area of cultivated land, where there are not so many herbivores coming, so the grass grows taller, and wolves jump into these wild grasslands , is not easy to find.
Without the guidance of hunting dogs, it would be extremely difficult to find traces of wolves passing by in such a place.
It has to be said that Yuanbao and Bailong's heads up are really good, and they are indeed tracking weapons.
The other four puppies, judging by the way they smell, the black tiger and the blue wolf have a slightly worse sense of smell, but the leopard definitely has a low-headed scent. As for the black mouth that chose to follow Lu Lu, the Oroqen hound selected by Zhao Tuanqing, The sense of smell is also quite powerful.
From the way it looked up from time to time and looked forward, it should also be regarded as looking up, and its size is a bit smaller, but its hunting nature is not to be said. It is no worse than Bailong and other puppies, and its attack power is even stronger.
With these few good dogs leading them, the five of them chased for seven or eight miles along the edge of the woodland.
At the edge of a ditch, Lu Lu saw the trail of the pack of wolves on the wet black mud beside the ditch.
He immediately jumped down to chase the wind, carefully inspecting the wolf paw prints on the ground by the ditch: "These wolves have drunk water here, I probably checked, there are still eleven wolves."
The number of wolves in a group is usually about seven, that is, the so-called seven wolves.
But after autumn, the weather turns cold quickly, and then winter, wolves will gather together to form a larger pack, increasing the probability of successful hunting, and the number of wolves will fluctuate greatly, and some can even reach dozens of wolves .
Including the four wolves that had been killed, there were fifteen wolves that appeared last night, which was considered a relatively large pack.
Everyone sighed, last night, if Lu Lu didn't go, so many wolves besieged Lei Meng alone, and it was night, and it was hard to use a gun, it would be terrible!
Lei Meng and the other three people also leaned over to the side of the ditch to look at the footprints. However, it was difficult for them to distinguish in this respect. Some even counted more than 20, because there were many footprints together. The size and forks of the foot pads are different.
Lu Lu couldn't help laughing, pointing to a pair of footprints of different sizes in front of him and said: "These footprints belong to the same wolf."
Everyone was a little confused.
How could completely different footprints belong to the same wolf?I don't understand, even if Lu Lu told them that it was the front footprint and the rear footprint, they still felt that the difference was too big, and they were all asking why.
"Wolves have to support the weight of the head, neck, thorax and shoulders on the front legs, while the hind legs only need to support the abdomen, hips and the back half of the tail, which is much lighter. Because of this difference in weight bearing, the wolf's The front paws are slightly larger than the hind paws, leaving footprints that are usually wider and wider."
Lu Lu explained.
In fact, most of the footprints left by four-legged mammals have such characteristics.
Seeing these footprints, the few people who suspected that they were going in the wrong direction stopped saying anything. Only now did they realize that they had underestimated the abilities of Yuan Bao and the others and Lu Lu.
Afterwards, several people silently followed Lu Lu without saying anything more.
A hunter is a hunter after all, not someone who holds a gun and knows how to use a gun can become a hunter.
They followed Yuan Bao and they chased for two miles, Lu Lu heard from a distance in a slightly denser forest, birds chirping constantly on the trees. Flying from this tree to that tree, it was very lively.
Lu Lu thought for a while and stopped the four of them: "Stop here for a while."
"What's wrong?" Raymond asked a little puzzled.
"The eagles and eagles eat the prey in the woods, and the birds are afraid that they will be caught and eaten. If the wolf comes, the birds are excited, because when the wolf is gone, they can still pick up some meat to eat. .”
Lu Lu said in a low voice: "I saw those footprints just now, they are still fresh, and the birds in the forest over there are flying a bit unusually. Preliminary estimates, the wolves should be in that forest now."
As he spoke, he habitually picked up his gun and checked the bullets, even when he went out with the gun, he checked it once.
Seeing this, the rest of the people also opened the semi-automatic in their hands and looked at it.
Sensing the direction of the wind, Lu Lu frowned slightly.
I'm in the upwind direction here.
With the wolf's sense of smell and hearing, they might have spotted a few people, but Lu Lu still planned to go around to see if there was a chance to get closer.
He led the horse and turned into the deep woods. If he could shoot at a closer range, he would have to drive the wolf into an open place like the barren grass. If he ran into the deep woods, it would be difficult to chase.
The few people walked deep into the forest for a long time, guessing that they had completely avoided the upwind direction, and then turned towards the forest where Lu Lu estimated the wolves were.
Sure enough, after walking for a while, Yuan Bao made a fierce noise.
"The wolf is in that wood."
Lu Lu said in a low voice, turned over and got off the horse: "I can't ride the horse anymore, try to make no noise as much as possible, get closer and hit, pay attention to hiding, otherwise if you are discovered, all previous efforts will be wasted and you have to track again."
Lei Meng and the other three nodded slightly, and got off their horses one after another. Holding their guns, they carefully groped down.
Gradually, through the gaps in the trees, a few wolves can barely be seen walking in the forest, and more often they are watching the edge of the forest below.
A few people approached more carefully, and they dared not move forward when they were five or sixty meters away.
The six dogs also seemed to know it, and walked very slowly, so they slowly followed Lu Lu, and when they saw Lu Lu stop, they also stopped.
Lu Lu gestured at several people, asking them to aim at the positions they had chosen.
There is a lot of cover between the man and the wolf, separated by trees. Without a good position, it is impossible to shoot.
Unexpectedly, when the few people were still choosing a favorable position, the sound of wild geese flying and the sound of two or three children chasing and beating suddenly came from the edge of the forest outside.
At this moment, several wolves groped towards the edge of the forest.
child?
Looking at the distribution of these wolves, Lu Lu's heart tightened. These wolves were probably targeting these children.Without thinking too much, he raised his gun and fired at the wolf following his sight.
There was a bang, and the wolf fell.
The wolves that had already touched the edge of the forest glanced back sharply, and immediately ran diagonally downwards.
The rest of them haven't found a chance to aim yet.
After one shot, Lu Lu hurriedly hugged Yuan Bao who was about to chase out beside him.
The rest of the puppies rushed out, but seeing that Yuanbao hadn't moved, they ran out for a while and then turned back.
He didn't want Yuan Bao to chase, because if he couldn't catch up, he would drive the wolves further away, and it would take more energy to track them down later.
"I'm not ready yet, why did I shoot?" One person looked at the wolves that ran away without a trace in a blink of an eye, looked back at Lu Lu, and asked inexplicably.
"There are children catching wild geese in the field outside. I think the posture of these wolves does not seem to be coming at the wild geese, but at the children. You can't shoot indiscriminately at this time, and the bullets may hurt you." To people!"
Lu Lu expressed his doubts: "Go, go down and have a look!"
