Cai Guangping was a decisive person, and immediately called the County Public Security Bureau.
"I am Cai Guangping!" The phone connected, Cai Guangping said loudly.
Liu Li tactfully exited the Secretary's office and closed the door from the outside.
"I am Qi Dawei, Secretary Cai, do you have any instructions?" Qi Dawei stood up straight and said.
"Dawei, I want to ask you something!"
"I heard that the Forest Ranger from the Production Team of the forest farm killed the fugitive Erlang?" Cai Guangping asked.
"Yes, Secretary Cai, the Forest Ranger from the Second Team of Xiangyang Forest Farm, he is only 19 years old, his name is Zhang Fugui!"
"You've met this person?" Cai Guangping continued to ask.
"Yes, although that child is not old, his physique is good, and he is brave and resourceful. I heard he dares to go hunting in the mountains alone."
Qi Dawei truthfully told Cai Guangping the situation he knew.
"According to their Production Team Captain, Zhao Kaishan, Zhang Fugui's parents both passed away half a year ago. His father was a Hunter and had an accident while hunting in the mountains. Not long after, his mother also got sick and passed away."
"This child relies on hunting in the mountains to support a younger sister and his Grandma at home."
Hearing this, Cai Guangping fell silent. He really didn't expect a 19-year-old young man to be so outstanding!
"Do you know that a few educated youths from the Third Team went into the mountains a while ago, and one was taken by a Tiger?" Cai Guangping suddenly asked.
Qi Dawei's heart skipped a beat, not knowing why the conversation about Zhang Fugui suddenly jumped to the missing educated youth.
Without time to think too much, he quickly replied, "Yes, their Production Team reported the situation to us, and we also arranged personnel to search in the mountains, but there were no clues."
"After being missing for so many days, it's unlikely they are still alive."
"We have already notified all Production Teams, requesting them to strengthen safety education for villagers and educated youths, reminding everyone to avoid going into the mountains casually, especially in areas where fierce beasts are active!"
"And we are also preparing to set up warning signs at various mountain entrances."
Qi Dawei was reporting the work situation until Cai Guangping interrupted him: "Dawei, there's nothing we can do about the missing person. What I want to say is, those educated youths were almost eaten by a Wolf Pack before encountering the Tiger, and it was also this Zhang Fugui who saved them."
"If it weren't for him, it wouldn't have been just one missing person, it might have been the entire group of educated youths wiped out!"
"Ah? That happened too?" Qi Dawei said in surprise.
"Exactly!" Cai Guangping said loudly: "This Zhang Fugui is a hero! He is young, can support his family, can save people, and can also help your Public Security Bureau fight crime!"
"Your Public Security Bureau must commend him properly!"
"Secretary, don't worry, I understand!"
Zhou Cang trudged with a heavy sled, relying on his youth, he actually pulled over four hundred catties of weight and climbed over the mountain ridge behind him in one go.
The load was really a bit much, and the sled had sunk deep into the snow.
Along the way, the sled was no longer sliding on the snow surface, but dragging and rubbing against the ground.
The bottom of the sled scraped against the earth and stones, making a harsh sound. It was made of two discarded vehicle leaf springs, which are the steel plate springs of a car.
This was exchanged by Fu Gui's father with wild game from the workers at the County Steel Factory.
Sleds of ordinary families were only made of wood.
Some would wrap the bottom of the sled, the part that contacts the ground, with thin iron sheets.
Fu Gui's father often went into the mountains and used the sled much more frequently than others; an unstable sled simply wouldn't last.
So he found workers at the Steel Factory and got two car leaf springs from them to make a sled.
This was the strongest sled in the entire village, and also the only means of transportation for Zhou Cang's family.
But no matter how strong the sled was, the terrain in the mountains was really difficult to navigate. The rugged mountain road caused Zhou Cang a lot of trouble, preventing him from moving too fast.
At this moment, Zhou Cang finally felt tired. The Little Fox had been very sensible along the way, not lying on the sled. Anyway, this distance felt effortless for it.
The cold wind cut at Zhou Cang's face like small knives, making a "whooshing" whistling sound.
The surrounding mountain forest was also a desolate scene, but fortunately, with the roe deer skin coat, he didn't feel cold at all.
Zhou Cang's steps gradually slowed down. He keenly detected a hint of abnormality, possibly the sixth sense honed from years of battlefield combat.
He slowly turned his head and looked at the mountain forest not far behind him.
Suddenly, the Little Fox also made a "whining" sound, and at the same time pricked up its ears and looked back nervously.
Zhou Cang immediately put down the sled rope and pulled the rifle from his back.
Squinting his eyes, he carefully looked around. In the distance in the forest, there were faint shadows, and pairs of green eyes were sizing him up.
It was a Wolf Pack!
"Heh, I really have a connection with Wolf Packs!" Zhou Cang laughed.
Thinking about it, there were originally many wild beasts in these mountains. Entering the deep mountains, the probability of encountering wolves was not small.
Moreover, he was dragging such a large chunk of meat.
Wolves have extremely keen senses of smell. They can smell blood from several kilometers away. This strong scent is like a sumptuous feast attraction for wolves, which primarily eat meat.
Dragging the gutted Black Bear and the shot wild chicken through the mountains, the bloody smell emanating from the sled drifted with the wind, and it was bound to attract a Wolf Pack before long.
Especially now in winter, Wolf Packs basically face food shortages every day and are always hungry. As soon as they smelled the blood, they immediately chased after him without hesitation.
The tracks pressed into the ground by the sled, coupled with the scent drifting in the air, were all like road signs guiding the Wolf Pack.
He didn't know if this Wolf Pack was the same one he had encountered before.
Because in the Greater Khingan Mountains area, the mountain terrain is complex, and in this dense forest environment, there might be three or four Wolf Packs within a range of dozens of kilometers.
Zhou Cang pulled open the bolt of his Type 56 rifle and took out a few bullets from his pocket to load.
He would fill the magazine first.
The Wolf Pack followed him from a distance of about a hundred meters, not rushing forward rashly.
They approached little by little, gradually forming a crescent-shaped encirclement.
The Little Fox was completely bristling at this point, instinctively wanting to run, but it looked at Zhou Cang and still didn't leave.
Foxes cannot outrun wolves. If they don't run away in advance, they will be caught and bitten to death by wolves in a few steps.
Usually, foxes are very good at hiding and avoiding; they try their best to avoid encountering wolves.
But today, following Zhou Cang, they couldn't avoid it!
"Don't panic, your brother here has killed quite a few wolves!" Zhou Cang squatted down and stroked the Little Fox's head, saying comfortingly.
He took out the wolf tooth necklace from his collar. The necklace, carrying his body temperature, emitted the scent of the dead Wolf King in the cold wind.
The moment this scent spread, there was a slight commotion in the Wolf Pack.
It seemed that this human in front of them gave them a very dangerous feeling.
The naturally cunning Wolf Pack continued to observe Zhou Cang. Several of them were dozens of meters away, lowering their heads and rolling their eyes upwards, staring fixedly at Zhou Cang, occasionally licking their mouths.
Seeing that the wolf tooth necklace did not scare the Wolf Pack away, Zhou Cang suddenly raised his rifle and shot: "A bunch of beasts, what are you looking at?"
