Forest Farm 1985: Raise a bear cub to climb the mountain

Chapter 179 Do you want the old rules?
Zheng Xiaojian's words deeply touched Lin Sanpao.

While he was secretly struggling with this, the speakers took turns at the long table and the microphone once again returned to Qi Shunli's hands.

The three of them listened with their own thoughts as Qi Shunli continued with the previous words and "vaunted" the recent achievements of Tuanjietun;

From participating in the militia's rotational "training" program,
To build high walls to help prevent wolves,

Finally, he raised his arm and shouted, "You are so shameless!"
"Tuanjietun has successfully resisted the wolf plague!"

The whole place exploded.

There are those who admire it, but there are also those who doubt it.

Faced with the emotional and increasingly noisy scene, he just smiled and asked the village cadres to carry the things outside the door into the house.

The door opened and the cold wind from outside rushed in.

It cleared the stale air in the room and instantly cleared everyone's brains.

At the same time, the Su-mao wolves that had been placed on the wooden board and had long been divided into three parts and frozen into specimens were carried into the house one by one.

In fact, from the moment the two groups of wolf specimens were carried into the house, someone had already counted the exact number, but the sound of counting continued one after another.

Everyone's eyes widened, including Lin Sanpao and others.

In this moment of extreme surprise, people only believe their own eyes.

Seven, Eight, Nine (the gang that targeted Lao Liu)
Six, Seven, Eight (Scaly Wolf)

There is also a torn Sumao wolf skin (a white-eyed wolf left over from the Tunkou wolf pack)
Eighteen in total!

It’s a real big wolf pack!
No wonder Tuanjie Village dares to say that it has successfully resisted the wolf plague. After fighting against the Sumao wolves for these days, every village has a general understanding of the habits of the Sumao wolves.

The combat effectiveness of the Sumao wolves is even more clear. Such a number of Sumao wolves is not just dangerous, it is simply terrifying.

All the doubts disappeared, replaced by thunderous applause.

Li Qinghai, who was familiar with the group, stood up first. Despite his old age, he jumped and clapped excitedly.

Immediately afterwards, Su Shaoda also stood up with a smile. After he stood up, the village cadres and militiamen behind him stood up one after another.

The achievements displayed by Tuanjietun do not only represent Tuanjietun at this moment.
It seemed to represent the entire Zhazi Forest Farm. The pent-up anger in Su Maolang's chest suddenly burst out.

This emotion spread among the crowd like a tide with the applause.

The roof of the village seemed to be blown off by the waves of applause that never stopped.

Those who understood looked at Dai Song who was standing next to Qi Shunli.

Those who didn't understand what was going on were also led by the people around them, and their eyes finally focused on the young man.
And taking this opportunity, I learned about the other party's specific contribution from just a few words.

in the corner.

Looking at the seventeen specimens of Somali wolves and a wolf skin placed in the middle of the long table, Lin Sanpao was completely stunned.

He recognized the one-eyed wolf and the other eight wolves placed on the same board, even though they had been skinned.

He knew clearly that the wolves were here because of him.
Almost in an instant, in addition to being shocked that so many Su Mao wolves were killed by Dai Song, a huge sense of guilt and panic came over him along with the thunderous applause from the people around him.

The more people around him praised Dai Song's achievements, the more fear he felt.

It was as if countless invisible hands grabbed his scrotum and pulled it down hard, causing his legs to go weak.

At the same time, it seemed as if a rope was tightening around his neck, fighting fiercely against the force of falling, as if it could tear him apart.

So much so that even as his legs trembled, he still stood firmly where he was.

Although the air around him was filled with the freshest cold air from outside, his face turned purple and pale, fine beads of sweat kept oozing out of his forehead, and a series of indistinct sobs came from his throat.

That was the painful struggle of his difficult breathing.

The situation of the Zheng father and son behind Lin Sanpao was slightly better, but still limited.

That tattered wolf skin clearly belonged to the ungrateful bastard that they had driven to Class 78!
The same complex feeling lingered in their minds like an evil spirit. In just a dozen seconds,
The backs of both father and son were soaked with cold sweat.

Not only did the crippled wolf plan fail, the more crucial thing was, what did the other party mean by this?
Simply to show achievements?
Or have you seen through that all of this is man-made and that this is just the last demonstration before turning the table over?
If you have seen through it, how much does the other party understand? What will they do next?
The applause all around gradually died down, and the three people who had almost experienced death firsthand finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As everyone sat down again, the three of them stumbled back onto their chairs.
As his thoughts returned to his body, the focus of his thinking shifted from how to take revenge to how to protect himself.

At the long table, Qi Shunli was still sitting and giving additional explanations.

Feeling the enthusiasm and calls from everyone, he immediately put forward the idea that Dai Song had instructed - during the specimen collection mission, he would not enter other forest groups to hunt.

For a moment, the whole audience fell silent again.

Zheng Xiaojian, who was originally immersed in panic, keenly sensed a glimmer of opportunity.

After a brief and quick thought, he slapped his son's thigh, lowered his head and shouted,

"I object!" Although there were indeed many people present who did not understand the point of view put forward by Qi Shunli, when they heard someone raise objections so quickly, they still turned their gazes to look at the young man with an "unhappy" face.

"Isn't that from Shisongtun?"

"Yeah! He came here with his father. Where is his father?

As expected, you are still too young. You are opposing before the other party has even given the specific reason!"

……

Even if only some of the trivial discussions reached Zheng Xianjie's ears, it was enough to make the young man collapse.
He immediately wanted to get up and escape from the village, but before he took a step, he found that his calf was tightly gripped by his treacherous father. If he moved the slightest, his whole leg would feel numb as if it was electrified and he would shiver.

Zheng Xianjie's face turned red as liver, and at the same time, Zheng Xiaojian finally took action.

He seemed to have completely gotten over his previous panic, and now he was smiling and slowly stood up.
"Everyone, I object too."

The people around him looked disdainful, but before they could raise sharp questions, Zheng Xiaojian continued,
"I know, I'm just an ordinary hunter in Shisongtun, I'm not qualified to be a dissenter here,
But now there is a wolf problem in the forest farm, we need everyone to unite and mobilize all our strength to fight against the gray wolves together.
Isn’t this the core of this meeting?

Although I haven't read much and can't speak well, I still have the awareness of unity and the attitude of doing things in a down-to-earth manner.

In order to encourage everyone to hunt wolves, the forest farm has even brought forward this year's specimen task. What is the purpose?"

Zheng Xiaojian glanced at the crowd that had gradually quieted down. Although no one answered, his sharp eyes saw recognition in everyone's eyes.
"Isn't it to mobilize the enthusiasm of all hunters to the greatest extent possible, to protect the village while mobilizing forces into the mountains to eliminate the wolf problem in the forest as soon as possible?
Will sticking to the old rules at this time help in fighting wolves?

I think it will not only not help, but will also seriously hinder the progress and enthusiasm of everyone in fighting wolves! "

After Zheng Xiaojian finished speaking, it was like a huge rock rolling into the lake, stirring up huge waves in everyone's heart.

“I also think this suggestion is not feasible.”

"Yes, it does discourage hunters. Although a forest group is quite large, they only stay in their own forest group. If there are many hunters in a village, there will not be much left in the mountains after a few days."

"Yes, the key is that mountain animals can run! If they run to other forest teams and are not allowed to chase them, wouldn't that be a big loss?"

"I remember the old rule in our forest farm is that if you want to chase prey, you can go to other forest teams, right?"

"Speaking of this, I have to mention it. If you chase prey into other forest groups, and you see other wild animals on the road, should you kill them? If you do, won't the other forest groups lose out?"

"Yes! I think this rule is very good. Everyone can just work in their own forest team. The harvest will depend on the weather. Anyway, it is connected with the village. Everyone should go out in groups. If they can catch fish, they will all get some. If they can't catch any, they can just take it as a stroll in the mountains~"

"You are talking nonsense..."

……

More and more people participated in the discussion, and the scene became increasingly noisy. Even if the director of the forest farm was present, it would be difficult for him to make a decision directly in the face of such a scene.

Qi Shunli, as the person who proposed this topic, was tragically surrounded by a group of people and forced to engage in a debate with them.

The saliva was flying on his face as if it was free. At the critical moment, Dai Song fell on the chair.

Snapped--!
The crisp sound of wooden chairs hitting the concrete floor instantly drowned out the noisy voices.

“Everyone, be quiet.

I proposed this idea to the village chief Qi, and now I will explain it to you all. Please take a seat first."

As Dai Song spoke, he pulled Qi Shunli out of the crowd, and at the same time extended his hand and gestured for everyone to take a seat.

Under the unknown aura from him, everyone spontaneously quieted down.

“Before I explain, I have a question for everyone: what is the purpose of uniting everyone’s strength to fight wolves?
Is it about beating wolves?

Or should we kill the wolf and let the forest farm return to its former peace?"

Everyone was silent, looking at each other. All the previous disputes burst at this moment like a popped soap bubble.

“I believe everyone has thought of it.

Everything we do is for the people living in the forest farm, not for the animals in the mountains.”

Dai Song took in everyone's reactions, and also saw the appreciative expressions of many forest farm leaders, and then continued,

“After thinking this through, the suggestion I made earlier becomes easy to understand.

Think about it, what would happen if we don’t restrict hunters’ movements between forest groups?
What you mentioned, going to other forest groups to hunt is only the least impactful, after all, it only affects the income.

What happens on top of this?”

The scene fell silent, and it was obvious that many people recalled the tragedy in the two villages that year.

They looked at each other, and many of them held their chins, frowned and nodded.

Seeing this, Zheng Xiaojian spoke again.
"According to what you said, what should the forest classes do without hunters?
Dai Pao, will you take responsibility?

Or do you have the capital to seek stability, but don't care about the lives of other forest classes?"
