Year: I planted trees in Saihanba
Chapter 74 Encountering Wolves (Revised)
After Feng Cheng sincerely apologized to Xia Tian, the days passed quietly, and a week went by in the blink of an eye.
That evening, after finishing dinner, Feng Cheng sat in his tent, engrossed in reading under the dim light.
Suddenly, he felt a wave of discomfort in his stomach, a feeling of stale air sinking down, so he decided to go to the toilet.
He gently closed the book, got up, and walked out of the tent.
Although winter hasn't officially arrived yet, the nights in Saihanba are exceptionally cold.
The cold wind howled, cutting my face like a knife.
After leaving the house, Feng Cheng instinctively thought he should relieve himself nearby.
But I also feel that doing so is neither civilized nor hygienic.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to go to the bushes ahead.
He picked up the flashlight and, using its dim light, carefully walked towards the bushes.
As soon as he reached the bushes and unzipped his pants, his excrement began to spill out uncontrollably.
Feng Cheng hummed a tuneless little tune with ease.
While he was thinking about the growth of the saplings he had planted in the past few days, he was also calculating in his mind how they were growing.
The thought of those tender green saplings made his lips unconsciously curl into a satisfied smile.
But this pleasant feeling was fleeting.
Suddenly, Feng Cheng shivered, a strong chill ran down his spine, and his smile froze instantly.
He felt as if several pairs of eyes were staring intently at him from behind, making him extremely uncomfortable.
Feng Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition welled up in his mind.
He quickly turned on his flashlight and nervously and slowly looked around.
He was terrified when he saw it.
Not far away, a group of eerie green eyes gleamed in the darkness, staring intently at him.
They're a pack of wolves!
Feng Cheng was so frightened that his face turned deathly pale, and his heart pounded wildly in his chest as if it were about to burst out of his chest.
He didn't care about anything else and hurriedly pulled up his pants.
He turned and ran desperately toward the camp, shouting hysterically.
"Help! Help! There are wolves!"
At that moment, Xia Tian was engrossed in studying the materials in her room.
Suddenly, I heard that familiar yet terrifying cry for help.
My heart skipped a beat, and I knew something was wrong.
He quickly got up, grabbed the gun lying beside him, and rushed out the door as fast as he could.
Feng Cheng hadn't been on the dam for long, and he never expected to encounter wild wolves on his first night out.
Normally, it shouldn't be winter yet.
Food resources in the Bashang area are relatively abundant, so wolves generally don't come here to forage.
But for some reason, Feng Cheng was just so "lucky".
In just a few months, they encountered a pack of wolves, as if fate had deliberately arranged a thrilling drama.
At first, the wolf pack lurked silently in the darkness.
Like a group of well-trained assassins, they were preparing to catch Feng Cheng off guard.
Unexpectedly, Feng Cheng sensed danger.
Seeing Feng Cheng desperately trying to escape, the pack of hungry wolves instantly revealed their ferocious nature.
With its gaping maw wide open, it chased after them closely.
Their figures appear and disappear in the night, and their low growls are chilling.
Xia Tian never imagined that Feng Cheng would encounter such danger so soon after arriving.
He felt extremely guilty, blaming himself for not repeatedly emphasizing to Feng Cheng that they shouldn't go out casually at night.
However, based on past experience, wolf packs are indeed rarely seen at night during this season.
Who would have thought this would be so unusual?
Alas, one should never blindly trust experience; this almost led to disaster.
At first, the wolf pack and Feng Cheng were some distance apart.
But in the face of life and death, Feng Cheng unleashed astonishing power.
His legs seemed to be equipped with springs, allowing him to run incredibly fast and quickly distance himself from the wolf pack.
Soon, he bumped into Xia Tian, who had gone out to check the situation.
Upon seeing Xia Tian, Feng Cheng felt like a drowning man grasping at a straw, shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Xia Gong, run! There's a pack of wolves behind us, lots of wolves!"
"Don't panic, don't panic, slowly hide behind me!"
As Xia Tian spoke, she gave Feng Cheng a firm look, signaling him to hide behind her and conveying a sense of security.
Upon hearing Xia Tian's words, Feng Cheng tried his best to calm his trembling body and quickly hid behind Xia Tian.
"Feng Cheng, hurry up and find something that can start a fire, quick!"
Summer kept her eyes glued to the wolf pack, not daring to relax for a moment, and shouted loudly to Feng Cheng.
"Then what will you do? I can't leave you here alone!"
Feng Cheng's face was full of worry, and his voice still carried lingering fear.
"Don't worry about me, don't do anything foolish right now, hurry up and go!"
As Xia Tian spoke, he waved the gun in his hand and fired a shot into the sky.
A loud bang echoed through the silent night sky, making people's ears ache.
Summer's eyes were sharp as she glared fiercely at the wolf pack, trying to intimidate them with her imposing presence.
The wolves were startled by the gunshot and took a few steps back, but they were not willing to give up the "meal" in front of them.
These hungry creatures are circling around summer.
It let out a low growl, baring its sharp fangs, searching for an opportunity to attack.
They sensed the intense aura emanating from summer, but hunger compelled them not to leave easily.
I encountered wolves before summer and even killed two lone wolves.
But this time they were facing a pack of wolves, only about ten in number, but each one had fierce eyes and was full of wildness.
Xia Tian knew in her heart that she was facing a huge challenge this time.
Even with a gun in hand, they dared not let their guard down for a moment.
Animals are very sensitive to danger, and the wolf pack could sense that summer was not to be trifled with.
So for a time they just lingered around, not daring to attack rashly, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate.
At this tense moment, Feng Cheng rushed over, carrying a burning quilt.
The burning quilt crackled and popped, its bright flames shining brightly in the darkness.
Upon seeing the firelight, the wolves, driven by instinctive fear, began to retreat step by step.
Seeing that the wolves were about to retreat, Xia Tian immediately took the burning cotton quilt from Feng Cheng and threw it forcefully at the wolves.
Immediately afterwards, he fired two more shots into the sky.
Gunshots pierced the night sky, as if announcing victory to the wolf pack in this standoff.
The wolf king saw the approaching flames and heard the deafening gunshots, knowing that today's hunting plan had completely failed.
It let out a long howl, a cry filled with anger and helplessness.
Then, leading the pack of wolves, they turned and disappeared into the dark night.
Seeing the wolf pack finally run away, Feng Cheng's tense nerves instantly relaxed.
His legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, passing out immediately.
It turned out that he had been suppressing his extreme fear, sustained only by a strong will to survive.
Now that the danger was over, he breathed a sigh of relief, but his body could no longer take it, and he fainted.
Xia Tian looked at Feng Cheng, who was lying on the ground, sighed helplessly, and muttered to herself.
"This young man is really frightened."
But he knew he couldn't leave Feng Cheng in this desolate wilderness; if the wolves returned, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Although the possibility was slim, everything that had happened today was too unusual for him to be careless.
So, Xia Tian bent down and effortlessly helped Feng Cheng up, half-dragging and half-carrying him back to his dugout.
Back in the dugout, Xia Tian hurriedly boiled some hot water and slowly fed it to Feng Cheng.
After a long while, Feng Cheng slowly opened his eyes.
"Where...where am I? Have I died and gone to heaven?"
Feng Cheng asked in a daze, his eyes still filled with confusion and fear.
"Have you ever seen such a dilapidated paradise? This is my dugout."
Summer said, half-jokingly.
"I don't know whether to say you're lucky or unlucky. You've only been in Bashang for a few days and you've already run into a pack of wolves."
“I’ve been here for a year and I’ve only encountered wolves twice.”
Looking at Feng Cheng, Xia Tian was filled with mixed emotions.
He now witnessed Feng Cheng's peculiar "luck" firsthand. To run into a pack of wolves just by going to the toilet was an incredibly low probability event.
With a teammate like this, who knows what unexpected things might happen in the future?
"Ugh, Engineer Xia, I'm so incredibly unlucky!"
"Who would have thought that something like this could happen just by going to the toilet!"
Feng Cheng smiled bitterly, his face full of exhaustion and helplessness.
Feng Cheng struggled to sit up, rubbed his dizzy head, and said with lingering fear.
"Engineer Xia, if it weren't for you today, I would definitely be dead."
"You are my savior, and I will always remember this kindness!"
Summer waved her hand and said seriously.
"Don't say that, the appearance of this wolf pack was too unexpected."
"But you have to remember this time: you absolutely cannot go out at night anymore."
"The dangers in Saihanba are not limited to these; a slight misstep could cost you your life."
From then on, Feng Cheng was extra careful every time he went out.
He realized that the environment in Saihanba was far more severe and dangerous than he had imagined.
Summer also began to pay closer attention to Feng Cheng's every move.
Having witnessed his extraordinary "luck," they were afraid he might encounter some danger again.
If something happened to Feng Cheng because of his negligence, he really wouldn't be able to explain it to Yu Zheng.
