Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 700 Meeting the Wolf
Next day, 05:30 in the morning.

Yang Xiaotao was woken up by Xiaowei, rubbed his eyes and got up from the bed, and was instantly sobered by the wind.

Quickly get dressed and pack your bags.

On the other side, the old horse has also gotten up, and the kerosene lamp is lit in the house.

Walking out of the house, Yang Xiaotao looked around, looking at the dark night sky, the wind was blowing so hard that even the clouds were blown away, exposing the stars in the depths of the universe.

"If one day, it is also a good choice to take a spaceship, soar in the sky, and explore the mysteries of the depths of the universe."

A ridiculous thought suddenly popped up in my mind.

Afterwards, Yang Xiaotao himself thought it was ridiculous, the footprints of human beings in the previous life hadn't set foot on Mars yet, thinking about it now, it's still too far away.

"Teacher Yang, let's go."

Gao Yu reminded from the side that although he was amazed by Yang Xiaotao's 'wealth', he did buy a lot of items this time.

But thinking of the usefulness of these things, Gao Yu felt very agreeable.

Even though they are on the farm, they think they are self-sufficient and have food to eat.

But in fact, only a small part of the grain, cotton and even corn produced by the farm will be left to maintain the daily expenses of the farm.

Surplus food will be handed over to provide vitality for the development of other parts of the motherland.

"Go. Let's take the mutton."

Saying that, the three put their salutes on the car, left the residence, and walked to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the door. At this time, the door of the supply and marketing cooperative was open, and there were two soldiers on duty standing at the door. After Gao Yu showed his ID, the three of them were taken inside.

At this time, apart from the two salesgirls I saw last night, there was also an old man with beards, and a middle-aged man wearing a hat.

Gao Yu stepped forward to negotiate. After listening for a while, the middle-aged man looked at Yang Xiaotao.

"Hello, I am the person in charge of the supply and marketing cooperative."

"You just bought mutton."

Yang Xiaotao nodded quickly, "Yes, I hope you can help me more this time."

"Good to say."

"However, according to the regulations, if you buy more than five catties of meat at a time, you need to show the buyer or the purchase unit, and state the purpose."

The person in charge did not relax his work attitude because of Yang Xiaotao's politeness.

"It's natural."

Yang Xiaotao nodded to Gao Yu, who came to the side and wrote down the farm's information and its uses.

As for Yang Xiaotao's identity information, it cannot be disclosed.

After careful confirmation by the person in charge, the bearded man led the three of them to the backyard of the supply and marketing cooperative.

After walking a few steps, he smelled a strong smell of blood in the air, which was blown by the wind and spread far away.

"This is what you want."

The bearded man spoke a little bluntly, probably because he was not familiar with Chinese, and the three of them didn't care, their eyes were all on the sheep on the chopping board.

To be honest, the meat yield of sheep this year is far worse than that of pigs.

Just looking at the lamb chops on the table, you can tell that there is really not much meat.

"This is, half of the sheep, and there, go into the water."

"Okay, that's all!"

Face to face, the bearded man weighed the meat, ribs, and offal one by one, and the person in charge and Gao Yu recorded the weight.

In the end, the person in charge decided to give the sheep's head to Yang Xiaotao.

Of course Yang Xiaotao was happy about this, the sheep's head was a lot of meat, especially the stuff in the head, it tasted good.

After the weighing was over and Yang Xiaotao confirmed that there was no problem, he asked the old horse to help deliver it to the car, and went to the front yard with Gao Yu to pay the bill.

Before coming to the supply and marketing cooperative, the person in charge had already settled the accounts.

Not bad.

Yang Xiaotao took out the money and meat tickets from his pocket, counted out more than half of them, and handed them over to the person in charge.

When the old horse puts the meat on the back seat, fortunately, the car is open this time, otherwise it really can't fit so many things.

In order to fix the lamb chops and the water, the supply and marketing cooperative also sent two sticks to fix the lamb chops, saving the bumps.

Then the three of them bought something at the supply and marketing cooperative and ate it for breakfast.

When the sun came out, the old horse drove and left the town.

The car crushed the dry and cracked ground, bringing up a cloud of smoke and dust in the wind, piercing straight, like a dusty gray spear, piercing the tranquility of the Gobi.

The old horse drove the car slowly, Gao Yu sat in the back and dozed off, with a pile of things beside him.

The jeep was not big at first, and Yang Xiaotao bought a lot of it. Most of the back seats were filled with mutton, and the smell of blood was very strong.

Even so, Gao Yu was happy to sit with the pastry in his arms, holding on to the wooden shelf from time to time, for fear that the meat on it would be bumped down.

Last time they sent out a bunch of people to find meat for their children, but they only got one rabbit in the end.

Even so, the children were allowed to eat meat and their bodies recovered.

But now, with so much meat, I haven't seen it even on the farm during the Chinese New Year.

Gao Yu laughed happily, and looked at Yang Xiaotao with admiration.

These days, there are not many people who can spend so much money, and those who are willing to spend like this are even rarer.

What's more, I bought it for someone else.

This kind of heart, no wonder I can be a teacher.

The same is true for Yang Xiaotao in front, holding his luggage in his hands, hiding his head behind, blocking the cold wind in front of him, and looking to the left and right of the car from time to time.

Desolate, but at the same time, there is a kind of heroism in the world.

Yang Xiaotao's mood at the moment is still a little, inexplicable expectation.

Those children have been away from home for half a year, and they don't know what to do.

"Old Ma, you have to hurry up. If you are so slow, it will be dark when you get there."

The old horse stabilized the steering wheel, "Drive fast, it's too bumpy!"

While talking, the car was swaying, and there was still a road in front of him, so he looked for the direction and drove by feeling.

Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to complain about the shock absorption of this car in his heart, he was really convinced.

"Teacher Yang, don't worry, I will definitely arrive before dark."

"How many times have I driven this road, even though there is no road on the ground. But there are maps in my mind."

The old horse nodded his head and said proudly.

Gao Yu behind him also nodded, "If we bring so many things back, the people on the farm will definitely be very happy."

"Yeah, if I knew so many things, I would have driven the truck."

The old horse muttered, and Yang Xiaotao did the same, sitting in the car without a shed in the cold weather, isn't it just a crime.

"That's a lot, how much more do you want to buy!"

Gao Yu said with satisfaction, and then asked about Yang Xiaotao's job.

"What does a rolling mill look like?"

"The rolling mill is huge. There are more than 1 people in the audience."

"There are so many people, our farm only has more than 200 people."

"This is considered a big factory in Forty-Nine City..."

While talking, the two passed the boring journey.

The sun began to pull higher, but the wind did not stop.

"Old horse, what is that?"

Yang Xiaotao turned his head to the right and spoke suddenly.

The car is going north and the sun is on the right.

Yang Xiaotao's eyesight was good, and he could vaguely see a black spot moving rapidly under the sunlight.

The old horse stabilized the steering wheel with one hand, while raising his head back, squinting his eyes.

"No, it's a wolf!"

The old horse suddenly exclaimed, his expression suddenly solemn.

Yang Xiaotao hurriedly asked after hearing this, "Wolf?"

"Yes, those beasts."

The old horse answered in the affirmative, and Gao Yu looked dignified, as if he had changed into a different person.

"It smells like blood, these beasts."

Yang Xiaotao listened, looked at the mutton behind, and understood what was going on.

There are not enough people to eat these days, and neither are there enough wolves.

It smells like meat, so it doesn't matter who you are.

"Old horse, hurry up, this is not a wolf."

Gao Yu watched for a while, and confirmed that the wolf was not a lone wolf, but should be sent by a pack of wolves.

The old horse also nodded. The lone wolves in this area can't survive, so the ones they encounter are basically wolves.

The pack of wolves will not be too big, if there are more than a dozen, it is considered a large pack, and there are more small packs, the kind of seven or eight. It is okay to meet small packs, but if it is a large pack
Then the steering wheel was turned, the accelerator was pressed to the bottom, and the speed suddenly increased.

Yang Xiaotao silently looked at the black dots that opened the distance, feeling a bad feeling in his heart.

"These wolves have done a lot of harm to pedestrians in this area."

Gao Yu put the things aside, took out a pistol from his backpack, opened the magazine, checked it, then closed it, and loaded the gun.

The movements are skilled and the expression is calm, just like a veteran.

"These wolves are not easy to deal with. Not to mention cunning, they also hold grudges."

"Our trainer, we went to a meeting the year before last. We met wolves halfway, and ended up killing one and driving away the other."

"It was only later that I heard from the locals that it was a couple of wolves, the one that was killed was the male, and the one that was injured and escaped was the female wolf."

"As a result, the instructor took people to a meeting last year, and when they came back, they were a bit late, and they were blocked by wolves on the way. As a result..."

As Gao Yu spoke, there was a murderous look in his eyes.

Yang Xiaotao listened heavily, never thought that the living environment here would be so harsh.

The old horse was also silent, the speed of the car increased, and the bumps became more severe.

A few minutes later, Yang Xiaotao couldn't see the black spots, and felt at ease.

But seeing Lao Ma and Gao Yu still looking serious, he raised his heart again.

When the car climbed a high slope, Yang Xiaotao suddenly saw two black spots in front of him.

"Ahead, there are wolves!"

The old horse saw it too, so Gao Yu stood up and looked elsewhere.

"There are also three heads on the left."

Yang Xiaotao quickly straightened his body and raised his neck, and sure enough, three black spots appeared behind the left side of the car.

The gray skin was running close to the ground, it was really not easy to see clearly.

"Old horse, what should we do?"

Gao Yu asked solemnly, this time he came out with a total of six rounds of ammunition, and if they were all used up, they would become decorations.

The most important thing is that other things can be thrown away, but Yang Xiaotao can't have any accidents.

The old horse was also nervous, and he would have driven the truck if he had known about it.

At least at that height, with the door closed, wolves can't hurt them.

Unlike now, it is easy to jump up and bite.

"Sit down."

"Among these wolves, there must be a wolf in command. We can't follow their routine. Let's rush out from the middle."

Lao Ma realized that this group of wolves was organized, and it seemed that there were no wolves on the right, but this was exactly the wolf's trap.

The car accelerated forward again, getting closer and closer to the wolf in front.

Gao Yu had already moved the things behind her, half straightened her body, and aimed the gun in front of her.

Yang Xiaotao also felt his heart beating faster. It was the first time he faced this situation, and he didn't know what to do.

"Catch it!"

The old horse yelled, and the car turned a corner and rushed to the front left suddenly.

In an instant, at a distance of 40 meters from the two wolves in front, he turned a corner and rushed forward.

This time, Yang Xiaotao saw the wolf clearly.

He is a little smaller than Wangcai, and his head is not big, but his tongue sticks out scarlet, and the ferocious look on his face is not comparable to Wangcai.

Of course, if there was a fight, Yang Xiaotao still believed in Wangcai.

After all, Wangcai is a skilled Chinese pastoral dog.

Not long after the car rushed out, there was a long whine from behind.

When the old horse heard this, his face became even more gloomy.
