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

Chapter 206 Hidden Oil Cake (Two in One)
At the garrison, Dai Bo suddenly sneezed.

"Hey! It's so hot and cold on the mountain, and then I'm warmed by the fire. I caught a cold!"

"Brother, then you should go back and have a rest. Some militiamen and village cadres will simply stay on the mountain to patrol. There can't be any trouble in the village."

"No, that won't work. There are people watching in the mountains. There are fewer guards in the village. It would be unreasonable for me to go home and rest at this time."

Dai Bo said this with a straight face, shocking the people around him.
In other words, Dai Song was familiar with him and knew that if he went back now, he would definitely be in trouble.

He did not expose his brothers. He counted the number of militiamen, regrouped them, and began the patrol mission in the second half of the night.

Rather than calling it a patrol, it was actually just a formality.

Even though the wildfire has been extinguished, it could reignite at any time. Villagers in the village are afraid to sleep and stay at home to watch the night or get together with neighbors to play cards and chat.

Every household was brightly lit until dawn, when the patrol team was replaced and the villagers went to rest.

Qi Shunli had been at the village headquarters the entire time. As soon as Dai Song finished his patrol, he was dragged by Qi Shunli to go to the Xiangdongfang convenience store.

Amidst a series of knocks on the door that almost seemed to break it down, Xiang Dongfang's lazy voice came from behind the door.

"Lao Qi? What are you doing so early in the morning?"

"Lao Xiang, hurry up!
Call the forest farm leader!
This matter cannot be delayed!"

"So early?!" Xiang Dongfang opened the door hurriedly, and the two of them squeezed into the house one after another.

The room was warm. As soon as Dai Song entered the room, he walked around the counter and slumped down on a recliner. His eyes flickered slowly to the titles of books beside him.

Qi Shunli picked up the phone and dialed a few numbers, but then stopped, hesitated for a moment, and turned to look at Dai Song.
"Matsuko, I've thought about it and decided that you should be the one to talk about this! You have made the greatest contribution!
If you hadn't brought Erhan with you, where would we have found Lin Sanpao?
Where can we find the Sumao people?"

"I say? That's not appropriate, Captain Qi. Aren't you going to report the situation to the forestry leaders?"

"Yes, yes, I am reporting the situation, but I don't have the factory director's phone number. Don't I still have to contact your uncle first?"

Dai Song blinked and understood;

The other party wanted to use his relationship to minimize the impact of this incident, but this also meant throwing the problem to my uncle.

Dai Song pondered for a while, and finally went to the phone and dialed the number. After one ring, the call was connected.
"Matsuko?"

"Hmm? Uncle? Why did you answer it so quickly?"

"I've been waiting all night, and the call finally came! How is the situation over there?"

"Uncle, you know everything, right?" Dai Song looked at Qi Shunli who was standing beside him. The latter first widened his eyes, then clapped his hands.

"The comrades must have notified us!"

"Last night, the head of the town police station called my factory director.
It is said that the 78th Forestry Division caught fire, and although it was almost extinguished later,

But the other party seemed to have something else in mind, so the factory manager asked me to ask you later.

I thought that you were probably busy, and if I called you, you might not answer the phone, and it might even delay your visit, so I have been waiting until now.

What's going on, Songzi? " Jiang Haohan's voice sounded a little anxious on the other end of the phone.

"Well, the matter has come to an end for the time being, don't worry about it, uncle."

Dai Song said something to comfort him, and then he told her everything that happened last night in detail, and then added,
"Uncle, I didn't tell my family the whole story about what happened last night. If my mom and the others talk about this later, please don't let it out!"

"Matsuko! What you did is too dangerous!

There are only a few of you, how dare you chase those well-equipped Sumao people!
And how old is Erhan now?

Even if you put it in front of you, it won’t be able to hold it up~"

"Uncle, you misunderstood. We didn't intend to chase the Sumao people away at first.

At first we went up the mountain to look for Lin Sanpao, but Erhan led us to the Sumao people.
It was probably because he smelled both blood and wolf coming from Lin Sanpao's direction that he concluded that he was dead.
At the same time, I also smelled the scent of the Sumao people in the forest, so I naturally changed my mind and went after the Sumao people."

Dai Song wanted to ask why Erhan suddenly changed his goal after smelling the scent of the Sumao people and led everyone to chase the Sumao people.

But he realized that doing so would indirectly expose Erhan's background and the specific time when he met Erhan, so he just glossed over it.

Moreover, when he was talking about Erhan with his uncle a while ago, he seemed to have briefly mentioned Xiaoxiong's life experience. If his uncle couldn't figure it out, there would be no harm in explaining it later.

"Oh, I see. Don't try to do this kind of thing again, okay? It's too dangerous!

But then again, you, Baizi, and Xiaoerhan must have made great contributions this time.

Not to mention that he helped his comrades find Lin Sanpao who fled for fear of crime, he also resolutely blocked the Sumao people and put out the forest fire!
What is this called?
This is what it means to defend our country! Songzi!"

"Hehe, I don't deserve that. If we didn't chase the Su Mao people, maybe they wouldn't set fire to the mountain." Dai Song joked.

"Nonsense!" Jiang Haohan on the other end of the phone laughed angrily, "You must never say that in front of your boss!"

"I know I know~"

"Well, today I will accompany my leader to visit Class 78 Forestry Squad.

Look at the damage caused by the wildfire. The factory manager will come too. Be prepared. Don’t say such things~”

"Yeah~ Don't worry, uncle, when will you come?
If I come late, I plan to go back and rest for a while. I've been busy all night and I'm exhausted."

“It won’t be too early. When we get there, we will definitely go up the mountain first.

We have finished checking the mountain and it’s probably already afternoon, but we still have to go find Qi Shunli to confirm everything.

Finally, I will go to see you, which will be after three o'clock at the latest."

"Oh, that's good, enough time for me to go back and take a nap.

By the way, uncle, there is one more thing that I have always found strange. Now that Lin Sanpao is dead and Su Mao’s people have fled or died, we haven’t been able to find out anything for the time being.

My guess is that I can only rely on Lin Jixiong. I will trouble my uncle to see if I can bring it up with the leaders and see if they will take it seriously. "

"What? Go ahead. I'm going to report to the factory manager soon. I'll share your thoughts with you!"

"I've always felt that this year's Su Mao Wolf..."

Dai Song analyzed the two reasons for the wolf infestation this year.

Not only Jiang Haohan, but Qi Shunli who had been listening also opened his mouth silently.

"Songzi, this question must be taken seriously. How did you come up with such an inference?

In other words, do you have any direct and strong enough evidence?"

"No, if I had direct evidence, I wouldn't say that.

There is no evidence, and there are many coincidences in the whole incident, so I came up with this speculation.

In addition, I will also find time to verify the fact that the Sumao people drove the wolves here."

"How do you verify it?
This is too dangerous, you must not do it alone!
Whenever you go, be sure to call some trustworthy helpers, and also let me know so I can go with you!"

"Uncle, you don't have to follow me. The mountains are very dangerous after all."

"I don't like what you said. I, your uncle, have worked in the forest farm for so many years. What kind of work have I not done?

I also worked hard in the mountains. Although I'm not as professional as you, my abilities are not bad either.

And how do you verify it?”

Dai Song smiled and scratched the back of his head, then apologized to Jiang Haohan, "The Sumao people suffered heavy losses.

According to the current information, there are five people in this team, three of them are dead and one is disabled, so they must retreat.

I planned to take Erhan with me and head north along the route they retreated to see if we could find out where they came from.

The Sumao people love wolf and bear skins, and their routes are also determined according to the routes of wolf packs.

In other words, finding their border crossing point is equivalent to finding the wolves' entry point.

We'll see if we can get that area under control then.
If everything goes as I analyzed, and we control that key location,

Then the wolf problem in the forest farm will naturally improve gradually and eventually be solved, otherwise the Sumao wolves will never be completely eliminated. "

"Okay! I was a little confused at first, but after listening to your analysis, I think there is a great possibility!
Songzi, I know you must call me when the time comes, okay?
I only have you and your two brothers as my nephews. I have watched you two grow up and become successful bit by bit. You two must keep steady for me!
I will also raise the other point you mentioned, whether it was Lin Jixiong who attracted the wolves, with the factory director. I will ask him to communicate with the police station leader and see if he can get anything out of him.

If there is any news, we will tell you directly when we get there in the afternoon. If we don’t tell you when we get there in the afternoon, you can mention it to your leader and then talk about it.

You may not know it yet, but in the leader’s heart, you sometimes have more say than I do! "

"No, no, how can I compare to my uncle? It's because of my uncle's care and opportunities that I have achieved my current results. Even if the leader listens to me, it's because he trusts my uncle!"

"Haha, you're the only one who can talk, okay, anything else?

We have been chatting for several minutes. We can’t afford to waste time now. I think the factory manager hasn’t slept all night and is about to explode. We can’t let him wait too long. I have to go and report quickly.”

Dai Song just thought that was it, then said a few more words to each other and finally hung up the phone.

Qi Shunli listened to the whole process and didn't hear the factory director blame him for the failure of the forest protection team, so he breathed a sigh of relief and patted Dai Song on the shoulder.

"Songzi, you should go back and have a rest. I will go to the village to prepare and welcome the forestry leaders.

Thank you so much for this time, otherwise I really don’t know how to explain this to Lao Jiang.”

Dai Song agreed and returned to the courtyard gate. Before he entered the house, he heard his mother's voice scolding him.

I thought Dai Bo had made me angry again.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Erhan sitting in front of Jiang Weiqin with his head lowered in dismay.
In my mother's hand was dangling half a piece of fried dough cake, the edges of which were jagged, as if they had been gnawed by a dog.

"Okay, you have learned how to hide food!

We can’t even eat such a small amount of food, and we have to hide it!
Is it because I didn't cook enough for you and you were hungry, or what?"

"Hu~Hu~" Erhan tilted his head and raised his paws, trying to grab the half-baked pancake from Jiang Weiqun's hand.

As soon as the claws reached out, Jiang Weiqin slapped them away.

"What? You want it again now!
Now I know to cherish food and not leave any leftovers!"

Xiao Yingying immediately stretched out her little hand, gently stroked Erhan's paw that was beaten, and even came closer, pouting and whistling non-stop.

"It's okay~ It's okay~
We won’t have any leftovers anymore~ We’ll be good people from now on~”

"Ho~ho~"

Erhan's little eyes moved quickly as he kept stealing glances at the reactions of the people around him.

It discovered that as long as the little girl protected it, no matter how angry Jiang Weiqun was, she would just put her hands on her hips and glare at it, so it immediately understood who its real backer was.

Even though his head is almost as big as half of Yingying's body, he still curls up at Yingying's feet like a little bird.

He wrapped his two paws around Yingying's lower body and rested his entire head on the back of Yingying's feet. With the slightest movement, Yingying almost fell to the ground.

"Hey! You little bear! You really know how to deal with things!

You found out that my precious granddaughter was protecting you, and you're so ashamed, right? "

"Wang Wang Wang!!"

Huagu, who had always had little sense of existence and had even been suppressed by Jiang Weiqun since Erhan came into the house, was now "barking wildly" and jumping up and down, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances accumulated in his head like a car seat.

When it saw Yingying protecting Erhan and then being "occupied" by Erhan, it was so jealous that it almost exploded.

His eyes were bulging out, and he was trying to come up and kiss Erhan's butt, but Dai Song kicked him straight from the living room to the main room.

"Alright, alright, Mom, stop scolding Erhan. He just hides the food he can't finish out of habit so that he can eat it next time when he's hungry. It's not a waste of food as you think."

"Ah? Is that so?
Then why didn't it eat the cake this morning?
I cooked dumpling soup for it, and it came over eagerly, showing no intention of cleaning up the leftover food from yesterday!
In the end, I accidentally let Huagu sneak under the bed, then ran into the main room with the cake in its mouth and presented it to my eldest granddaughter like a treasure. Only then did I realize that Xiao Erhan had leftovers from last night!
And I was starving it before, why should I ask it to save food for next time?"

Dai Song grinned and glanced at Huagu who was sneaking towards the main room. He always felt that the little dog was doing it on purpose. After waiting for so many days, he finally found a chance to trick Erhan.

The latter also stopped immediately, his ears tucked behind his head so that they were almost invisible. He looked at Dai Song nervously, and when he saw that Dai Song was not paying attention, he immediately rushed back to the doghouse in the side room.

Dai Song didn't care about Huagu either. He picked up the little girl who had opened her arms and kept begging for a hug. With his other hand, he took the half-fried pancake from Jiang Weiqun and gave it back to Erhan.

When Erhan saw Dai Song bringing the oil cake back to him, he immediately took the oil cake in his mouth, went back to his den, dug and scratched, and hid the oil cake again.

"Hey! Erhan, why are you still hiding?"

"Mom, don't be angry, this is human nature.

Just like a puppy will look for milk to drink as soon as it is born.

Erhan has lived outside since he was a child. Although he won’t go hungry by following me, I don’t always stay by his side.

There were many animals in the mountains, and it was very small at that time, let alone the big cannon eggs. A few months ago, it could have knocked over the little yellow-haired ones and bullied them hard, not to mention other animals.

If Erhan didn't know how to hide food, the food I left for him would have been snatched away and eaten by other animals as soon as I came down the mountain."

"Ah~
That idiot must have had his food snatched away several times before he slowly learned how to hide things."

Dai Xiaoqian came out of the side room with a messy hair.

Squatting beside the crib, watching the little bear lying in the nest, he meticulously stepped on the surrounding nest materials to make them solid. After that, he lay on it and rolled around twice. It seemed that he really felt comfortable. Then he sighed, avoided Jiang Weiqun's gaze with his little eyes, and staggered out of the nest.

Then he stopped strolling around like before and sat down obediently on Dai Song's feet, making Dai Song grimace and exclaim that it was too heavy.

Although there was still some anger in Jiang Weiqun's eyes, her tone had softened.

While mumbling, he scooped the dumpling soup from the pot into Erhan's special food bowl, sprinkled salt on it, and then sat down next to the crib.

"Let it cool before eating! Don't give yourself another big blister on your lips!

It's my fault after all. I wrongly blamed you. I won't hold you back anymore. Just bear with me."

"Oh no no."

Dai Song shook Xiao Yingying in his arms, then took a bowl of noodle soup from Nan Chunwan, pushed Erhan's big butt aside, and sat down on the kang.
"If you can force it to eat, you should force it to eat. Otherwise, how can it grow strong?

As long as it keeps eating, nothing will happen.

But if it refuses to eat at all, don’t force it. It will really give the little bear stomach bloating, and no doctor will dare to treat it.”

"Okay, got it. Let it hide wherever it wants from now on~" Jiang Weiqun crossed her arms across her chest.

Seeing that the little bear was still sullen and didn't dare to look her in the eye, she softened her heart and happily went over to start petting the bear.

After a few rubs, Erhan fell to the ground, opened his mouth wide, and started to act coquettishly.

Dai Song took advantage of the meal to tell his family that Jiang Haohan and the forest farm leaders would be coming in the afternoon to avoid being surprised. At the same time, he also hinted to his mother that if possible, the house should be cleaned up and the livestock should be hidden in advance.

If these leaders come to our house for a visit, no matter if they are interested in Yuan Musk Deer or Erhan and want to have a taste of her, it will be difficult to do so.

Dai Song felt that there was nothing wrong with being prepared, but what he didn't know was that Erhan's performance in this operation was so outstanding that when the higher-ups decided to commend Dai Song and others, they also gave Erhan a "formidable" small medal, which was equivalent to giving Xiao Xiong a "golden medal of immunity from death."

After Erhan had finished the big bowl of dumpling soup, Dai Song patted Erhan's head, which was covered with a layer of short fuzz.
"Let's go, Erhan, and take a stroll up the mountain."

"Roar?!"

The little bear had apparently forgotten that he could go up the mountain in the morning, and in order to please Jiang Weiqun, he opened his stomach and ate as much as a blown-up pig bladder. When he heard that he had to go up the mountain, he was dumbfounded.

It could only step into the nest with difficulty using its four short legs.

Everyone was very surprised and found it funny at the same time. It turned out that the little bear was just like humans and didn't want to move after eating.

As a result, he was happy for just two seconds when he saw Erhan grunting and starting to dig the nest.

Not only did he dig out the half-baked pancake that he had buried before, he also dug out a complete one, held it in his mouth, and squeezed out from the middle of the door frame with every step.

Seeing that Dai Song did not come out, he struggled to turn the "big truck" around in the yard.

He carefully put down the oil cake (on the back of his paw, making sure it didn't get on the snow), and roared towards the house with full energy, obviously urging Dai Song to hurry up.

"What is it doing now? Is it afraid of getting hungry after walking in the mountains, so it prepared its own food?"

"No, it should be brought to the mountain to bring food to its good friends."
