The leaders of the field department were silent. Field Chief Wu Liji coughed and said," Shac Ci Leng was right, there was such a thing. Everyone had good intentions. They wanted the military horses to grow stronger and have a good journey so that they could contribute more to the war preparations. Who would have thought that there would be such a white-haired wind, a northern wind, and such a large pack of wolves? If not for this pack of wolves, Ba Tu would have been able to drive the horses to a safe place. Wind, white, and wolf disasters were a once-in-a-century occurrence. I'm in charge of production, so I should be responsible for this accident.
Bao Shungui pointed his horsewhip at Sha Ci Leng's nose and said," Your responsibility is not small either. Billig is right. The herd of horses will be fine after running for a short while. If the three of you hadn't run away at the last moment and chased the herd of horses with Batu, this big accident wouldn't have happened. If you hadn't saved Ba Tu's life, I would have isolated you for investigation.
Billiger used his horse club to press down on Bao Shungui's whip and said with a straight face," Representative Bao, although you are a Mongolian from the farming area, you should know the rules of the Mongolian people in the pasturing area. In the grasslands, you are not allowed to use a horsewhip to point at people's noses and talk to them. Only the former Wangye, Taiji, and herdsman would speak like this. If you don't believe me, you can ask your military commander. The next time he comes to check on work, we can ask him together.
Bao Shungui put down the horsewhip and switched it to his left hand. He then immediately used his right index finger to point at Sha Ci Leng and Ba Tu's noses and shouted, You! And you! Get off the horse and clear the snow! I want to examine the body with my own eyes. I want to see how powerful the wolf is and how big the wolf pack is. Don't try to push all the responsibility onto the wolves. Leader Mao taught us that the human factor comes first!
The people got off their horses, picked up the shovels, shovels, and bamboo brooms they brought, and began to clean up the corpse field. Bao Shungui was riding a horse and holding a Seagull brand camera as he took photos to collect evidence. He kept shouting at everyone, Clean it up, he had to clean it up. In a few days, the investigation teams from the alliance, the flag, and the army would come here to investigate.
Chen Zhen followed Wuliji, Bilige, Ba Tu, and Sha Ci Leng as they walked through the thick snow towards the innermost snow piles in the bubble. The surface of the mud pond was still frozen solid, and the snow creaked under their feet. The old man said,"As long as you look closely at the horses inside and see if they were killed by the wolves, you will know how powerful these wolves are."
Chen Zhen asked,"Why?"
Wuliji said,"Think about it. The deeper you go, the more dangerous it is. The muddy water there is the last to freeze. The wolf is also afraid of being trapped inside. The wolf will not take this risk." If those horses were also killed by the wolf, how powerful would the wolf be?
The old man turned his head and asked Batu,"You can't even shoot?"
Batu said with a bitter face," It's useless. I only brought ten bullets with me. After a while, I ran out of bullets." The white-haired wind shattered all the gunshots. Even if the wolf was scared away, it would come back when the bullets ran out. It was too dark and the battery was low. I couldn't see anything.
At that time, he didn't think too much about it. Ba Tu used his fingers to gently press the frozen skin on his face and said," The sky is dark and the snow is heavy. I only hope that the wind will stop, the bubbles will not freeze, the wolves will not be able to enter, and many horses will survive. I remember that I raised the muzzle of the gun by a foot.
Bilig and Uliji both heaved a sigh of relief.
Walking to the innermost pile of snow, Batu hesitated for a moment, then took a wooden shovel and quickly shoveled away the snow on the horse's head. Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air as the white horse's neck was broken in half and twisted one and a half times before it fell on the horse's back. The horse's eyes were protruding and had already frozen into a transparent black ice egg. The big white horse's expression of despair and fear at that time was completely frozen inside, making it extremely terrifying. The snow under the horse's head had been frozen into a large piece of red ice by the horse's blood, and it could no longer be shoveled. Everyone was silent as they hurriedly cleared the snow. Half of the horse's body was exposed. Chen Zhen felt that the horse's body did not seem to have been bitten. Instead, it looked as if a bomb had exploded from the horse's stomach. Both sides of the ribs had been torn open, and its internal organs and intestines had been blown a few meters away. Half of its rear buttocks were gone, revealing its white bones. There were broken limbs and bones on the ice, as well as broken skin and hair. The wolves had only eaten the heart, liver, and slightly thicker meat of the horse. The entire body of the horse had become the target of the wolves 'whipping. Chen Zhen thought, could it be that the beast-like behavior of tearing people into pieces and skinning them was also learned from wolves? Or perhaps the bestial nature of human nature and the wolf nature of bestial nature originated from the same source? In the history of human struggles, the law of humans being wolves was indeed implemented quite openly or covertly. This was the first time he had witnessed such a large-scale brutality of a wolf. The bestial nature in Chen Zhen's heart was immediately forced out. He really wanted to immediately trap a wolf and skin it. Could it be that humans would become wolves if they interacted with wolves in the future? Or become someone with more of a wolf's nature?
Everyone looked on in a daze. Chen Zhen felt his hands and feet turn cold, a bone-chilling coldness.
Old man Billig held the handle of the shovel with both hands and said thoughtfully, This is probably the second or third largest wolf pack I've ever seen in my life. Even the horse at the head of the pack was bitten to such a state. I don't need to look at the other horses. I'm sure not a single corpse will be left intact.
Wuliji's face was heavy. He sighed and said," I rode this horse for two years. I rode it to trap three wolves. It's one of the fastest horses in the field. When I was the commander of the cavalry, I led the troops to suppress the bandits, but I never rode such a fast horse. The strategy and tactics used by this pack of wolves this time were even more shrewd than the tactics used by the horse bandits back then. They could make full use of the white-haired wind and the big bubble like this. It really made people feel that their brains were not enough. If I were a little smarter than the wolf, this horse would not have died. I was responsible for this accident. If only I had persuaded Old Bao at that time.
Chen Zhen listened to their conversation in a low voice while thinking about his own matters. In China, people often referred to tigers, leopards, and jackals as ferocious beasts. However, tigers and leopards were rare animals. They did not form groups, and there were very few examples of them. And wolves are common animals, can be in groups, there are many stories, there are many evil deeds. Wolves were the most threatening and frequent beasts in history. In the grasslands, wolves were the greatest natural enemies of humans, horses, cows, and sheep. But why did the grassland people still regard the wolf as their totem? Chen Zhen retreated from his new position.
Most of the slaughterhouse had been cleared. The frozen lake was littered with corpses, frozen blood, and broken limbs. It was like a battlefield that had been repeatedly bombarded by dense artillery shells. A group of galloping lives, lives waiting to go to war, suddenly came to an abrupt end and became cannon fodder on the grassland battlefield. Each horse was in the same state as the white horse. The corpses were densely packed with broken limbs and bones. Only the heads of the horses and the hair of the horses could be used to count the number of horses. The two stables squatted on the ice, wiping the heads of their beloved horses with their thick hooves and leather robes, tears streaming down their faces. Everyone was stunned by the tragic scene in front of them. Chen Zhen and a few other educated youths from Beijing, who had never seen a tragic battle scene with their own eyes, nor had they ever seen a pack of wolves massacring a herd of horses, were so frightened that their faces were as white as snow as they looked at each other. The first reaction of the educated youth seemed to be: If any one of us were to encounter this pack of wolves in the white-haired wind, what would be the outcome? Could it be that they were like the army horses that had been dismembered by wolves?
The bloody scene of the Nanjing Massacre suddenly appeared before Chen Zhen's eyes. He saw fascists and Japanese devils in his wolf nature. A strong physiological reaction surged out of Chen Zhen's body. Disgusting, angry, wanting to vomit, wanting to curse, wanting to kill wolves. He blurted out again in front of old man Billig, This herd of horses had died too tragically. The wolves were too detestable! They were more hateful than the fascists and the Japanese. He really should be cut into pieces!
The old man stared at Chen Zhen with a pale face, but he said confidently," The fascism of the Japanese came from the bones of the Japanese themselves, not from the wolves. I've fought against the Japanese before. I know that there are no grasslands or wolves in Japan. Have they ever seen wolves? But did they even blink when they killed? When I was leading the way for the Red Army of the Soviet Union, I saw what the Japanese did. How many people were killed just by repairing the grassland gravel road from our ranch to Northeast JiLin? Both sides of the road were filled with human bones. A large pit meant dozens of lives. Half of them were Mongolians, and the other half were Han Chinese.
