Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

The previous chapter has been revised; those who have already read it can read it again.

To ensure the author receives a guaranteed minimum wage from the platform, the author wrote half of the code yesterday but fell asleep. Apologies to everyone for this.

I owed you one chapter yesterday, and the "Darkness in the Blue Sky" update reminder brings me another chapter.

There are two chapters in total, and the author will try to finish them in the next two days.

This is the downside of not having a draft after revising the outline.

Finally, thank you everyone for the free gifts and to the generous donors.

………………I am a dividing line………………

The forestry bureau's supply delivery team continued its arduous journey through the wind and snow.

As darkness fell, the wind showed no signs of abating.

Instead, it became even more intense, blowing so hard that people could barely stand.

Snowflakes, mixed with the fierce wind, relentlessly slapped at people's faces.

The villager leading the way looked at the increasingly worse weather and his expression became serious.

"Everyone, please note that it is getting late, and we definitely won't be able to reach Bashang today."

"Judging from the situation, there should be a snowdrift ahead. Let's rest there for a bit and avoid the snowstorm!"

"Let's eat something and set off tonight!"

The villager looked grave and spoke to Qu He behind him.

"no problem!"

Qu responded and relayed the guide's words to the back.

After walking for a while, before reaching the snowdrift, an older employee began to tire and his pace gradually slowed down.

Seeing this, his colleague quickly reached out and took the supplies from his shoulder, saying...

"Old Zhang, take a break, I'll help you carry a section."

Old Zhang nodded gratefully, panting heavily as he spoke.

"Thank you, the snow is really heavy. I didn't expect this winter to be so difficult."

At this moment, in the dugout on the dam, Feng Cheng and Xia Tian also felt the ferocity of the wind and snow.

The strong wind kept blowing into the cracks in the dugout, so the two had to find some rags and other things to plug the cracks.

"Engineer Xia, why is the snow so heavy this year?"

Feng Cheng asked with some concern.

"I do not know!"

Summer looked at the raging wind and snow outside and frowned.

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a strange sound outside, as if something had been blown over by the wind.

Feng Cheng and Xia Tian exchanged a glance, quickly put on their cotton-padded coats, grabbed flashlights, and rushed out.

It turned out that a makeshift tool shed next to them had been blown down by the wind, and the two quickly set to tidy it up to prevent the tools from being buried by the snow.

The forestry bureau's team continued their advance, unaware that what awaited them ahead was nothing but severe weather.

There may be other dangers, but everyone holds onto one belief.

That means we must get the supplies into the hands of Xia Gong and Feng Cheng.

Soon, the forestry bureau's team arrived at Xuewo.

Everyone quickly cleared a space next to the snowdrift.

The supplies that were carried were gathered together to prevent them from being buried by snow again.

Someone took out pre-prepared firewood from their backpack.

They tried to start a fire for warmth, but the strong winds always extinguished the newly lit flames.

After several attempts, they finally succeeded in starting a campfire.

They sat closely together, sharing the dry rations they had brought with them to replenish their strength.

"This awful weather, I wonder how Xia Gong and Feng Cheng are doing on the dam."

One of the workers looked at the firelight and muttered to himself.

“They must be feeling bad too. We need to speed things up and get the supplies over there as soon as possible.”

Another employee chimed in.

After a short rest, the wind and snow showed no signs of stopping.

But they did not hesitate and resolutely embarked on the journey again.

The group groped their way forward in the darkness, each person keeping a close eye on the footprints of the person in front, afraid of losing their way.

At this time, Feng Cheng and Xia Tian, ​​who were on the dam, couldn't fall asleep after returning to their dugout.

They were worried about whether the saplings outside could survive the blizzard.

"Xia, do you think the bureau will send someone? The snow is so heavy, the roads must be very difficult to travel on."

Feng Cheng turned over and said to Xia Tian beside him.

"Probably not, Director Qu and the others won't abandon us."

"Besides, even if Director Qu and the others don't come, the supplies in Bashang are enough to feed us for more than a month!"

Although Xia Tian said this, there was a hint of worry in her tone.

"Go to sleep, and see if the snow stops tomorrow!"

Xia Tian offered Feng Cheng a word of comfort.

She wrapped the blanket around herself even tighter.

Feng Cheng responded, but kept his eyes closed, showing no signs of sleepiness.

As the team delivering supplies moved on, their steps grew heavier, the howling wind made each step incredibly difficult.

Suddenly, the villager walking at the front stopped in his tracks. He seemed to have sensed something and his expression became tense.

"Everyone be careful, there might be snow traps nearby, don't move!"

The villager shouted in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped in their tracks, their hearts pounding in their throats.

They cautiously probed the snow ahead with their tools, moving slowly step by step.

Just then, a low growl came from afar, sounding particularly eerie in the silent snowy night.

"It's a wolf!"

Someone shouted in horror.

The group immediately formed a circle and placed the supplies in the middle.

Each person gripped whatever they could use as a weapon, nervously watching their surroundings.

The security personnel all took their guns and cocked them.

Several pairs of eerie green eyes could be seen flickering in the darkness, gradually approaching them.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. Stay alert and don't panic!"

Qu Heqiang said calmly.

The wolves seemed to be wary of the group, merely lingering around without launching a rash attack.

The two sides remained deadlocked, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.

"Bang~"

Summer and Feng Cheng in Bashang gradually fell asleep amidst their unease, while the blizzard outside continued to rage.

The next morning came.

Summer got up early, looked at the wind and snow outside, and sighed softly.

After Xia Tian got up, Feng Cheng was also startled awake.

Feng Cheng didn't sleep well last night.

After being startled awake, I couldn't fall back asleep.

So he got up too.

Just as Feng Cheng finished tidying up, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.

"Xia, listen, isn't someone coming?"

Feng Cheng looked at Xia Tian with some confusion.

Summer quickly put on her cotton-padded coat and rushed out of the dugout with Feng Cheng.

Not far away, several blurry figures were seen struggling towards them through the wind and snow, with Qu He leading the way.

"Xia, we're here!"

Qu shouted loudly, his voice filled with exhaustion and joy.

After they reunited, everyone embraced each other excitedly, tears welling up in their eyes.

All the hardships and dangers along the way have transformed into the joy of reunion at this moment.

"Director Qu, what brings you here?"

As soon as Xia Tian finished asking the question, he saw the supplies that Qu and his comrades behind him were carrying.

In an instant, Xia Tian understood the whole story.
