Chapter 225 Digging Sheep
Chengde, the Imperial Palace.
The Forestry Bureau's office area was quiet, with a touch of winter chill in the air.
Yu Zheng has been feeling uneasy these past two days, and his right eyelid keeps twitching for no reason.
The inexplicable twitching of his eyelids made him vaguely uneasy.
After thinking it over, he still dialed the number.
"Connect me to the Weichang County Forestry Bureau!"
Yu Zhenglai spoke into the phone, his voice carrying an undeniable decisiveness.
At the Weichang County Forestry Bureau, Qu He was diligently writing materials at his desk.
Suddenly, the phone on the desk rang abruptly, breaking the silence of the room.
Qu He put down his pen and quickly picked up the receiver.
"I am Qu He, the director of the Forestry Bureau of Weichang County!"
"Old Qu, it's me, Old Yu!"
Yu Zhenglai's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I heard it snowed heavily on the dam?"
"Has the supply been delivered yet?"
Are there any difficulties faced by the college students?
Upon hearing this, Qu He immediately understood Yu Zhenglai's concerns and quickly said...
"Don't worry, Director Yu! I went up there myself before the first snowfall."
"Also, about two weeks ago, I had a meeting with the leaders of the meteorological bureau."
"According to their predictions, there will be severe cold weather in the Bashang area this year."
"As soon as I got back, I immediately held a meeting and moved up the supply delivery time by a week!"
"And they also include pork, oil, peanuts, melon seeds, and sugar for the Lunar New Year."
"We've got all these in-demand items ready!"
Qu He said this with a confident expression on his face.
It's as if I can see the happy faces of the comrades on the dam when they receive the supplies.
However, what Qu He didn't know was that those supplies he had carefully prepared...
It is still lying quietly in the forestry bureau's warehouse.
"Old Qu, let me tell you, college students come from all over the world."
Yu Zheng continued.
“Everyone here comes from a well-off family. They’re much better off at home than they are in Bashang. As for your supplies…”
Before Yu Zheng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Qu He on the other end of the phone.
"Don't worry, my old boss, I didn't even calculate the number of each person individually!"
"Anyway, the Forestry Bureau has done everything it could."
"This matter has even caused the staff in the bureau's canteen to give me a lot of complaints!"
Qu He said with a smile that he was focused on taking good care of the comrades on the dam.
"That's good, that's good!"
Yu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Old Qu, let me tell you, our own comrades can overcome the hardships."
"But we must not mistreat the talents we invite; that is the way we, the people of Chengde, treat our guests!"
Qu He listened to Yu Zhenglai's words on the other end of the phone and nodded repeatedly.
It was as if Yu Zheng could see his movements.
"Have you sent some fruit upstairs yet?"
"Among the college students who came, there were some women from the south. They can't do without fruit!"
Yu Zhenglai added.
"Let me tell you, Lao Yu, these are all the best Kuo-Kuang apples, I picked them out one by one!"
"I guarantee that everyone will be able to eat two every week!"
"And those frozen pears, needless to say, eat as many as you want!"
"That's exactly what we have plenty of here!"
Qu He patted his chest and assured him.
"Oh, that's great! I'm relieved!"
Upon hearing Qu He's words, Yu Zhenglai smiled and hung up the phone.
Qu He didn't think much of it after hanging up the phone.
After all, he had personally gone to see the driver, Xiao Pang, that day, and he trusted that Xiao Pang wouldn't make any mistakes in his work.
However, what Qu and others did not know was that...
The little Pang he had specifically instructed that day was now anxiously waiting at the entrance of the obstetrics and gynecology department of Baocheng Second Hospital.
Xiao Pang's wife was giving birth inside, and his heart and mind were filled with thoughts of the child who was about to be born.
They couldn't even consider transporting supplies to the dam area.
Xiao Pang was just a low-level employee at the Forestry Bureau, and no one cared whether he left or not.
Tian Qingshan from the General Office did not inquire whether Xiao Pang had completed his task.
Everyone at the forestry bureau was busy with their own tasks and no one noticed that something was amiss.
At this time, the Bashang area presents a completely different scene.
Early in the morning, Xia Tianshan, Dayong, and Xiao Huang set off for the marked Diyang Cave.
The cold wind was biting, and it felt like a knife cutting into my face.
The snow on the ground was already above ankle-deep, making every step extremely difficult.
In the summer, he carried a pickaxe and trudged through the snow, his steps uneven.
Tap here, look there, keep your eyes glued to the ground, and don't miss any suspicious spots.
Summer quickly found a marked sheep cave.
"This is it!"
Summer squatted down and gestured for Xiao Huang to bring over the prepared cloth bag.
Xiao Huang quickly took out a cloth bag from behind him, his eyes full of anticipation.
Summer skillfully used a pickaxe to dig through the snow and frozen soil at the entrance of the hole.
A short while later, a fat, large rat appeared in his hand.
This fat rat was their target for the summer trip—a ground sheep.
This large rat was covered in gray fur and had a stout build.
Its head is long and flat, its ears are almost invisible, and its eyes are extremely small.
The little guy struggled frantically in Xia Tian's hands, trying to break free from Xia Tian's clutches.
"Xiao Huang, don't just stand there, open the bag quickly."
Summer called out to Xiao Huang, who was in a daze.
"Oh, good!"
Hearing Xia Tian's call, Xiao Huang took two steps forward and quickly opened the cloth bag in his hand.
"Xia, you're absolutely amazing!"
Looking at the plump rat in Xia Tian's hand, Da Yong couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"How could we find this blind mouse in this freezing weather?"
"Alright, stop joking around!"
Summer listened to Da Yong's flattery and said with a smile.
"Come and help!"
"Whether we can have a better meal today depends on this!"
"Hey, good!"
Zhao Tianshan and the other two quickly stepped forward and began to help dig the sheep out of the hole.
Their hands moved through the cold snow and frozen ground.
Before long, the four of them had caught two large bags of wild sheep.
"Dayong, Xiaohuang, you two better make sure the bag is secure, don't let the goat escape!"
Summer looked at them and gave them some words of advice with concern.
"Don't worry, Engineer Xia!"
Dayong, holding the bag containing the ground sheep, responded happily.
"Even if the bag gets torn by the sheep, I'll use my clothes to wrap it up again!"
"Alright, take it! Don't let the ladies see!"
Xia Tian looked at the two of them again and gave them another word of advice.
In this harsh environment of the dam area, being able to catch wild sheep to improve one's diet is a rare treat.
But Xia Tian knew that women might not be able to accept this kind of "ingredient".
The four followed the footprints they had left behind, heading towards the camp.
As soon as we got back to camp, the snowflakes started falling again.
In the summer, Da Yong and Xiao Huang handed the bag to Lao Wei.
He then returned to his temporary dormitory.
Because the weather on the dam is just too cold.
Physical attacks combined with magical attacks are enough to overwhelm even in the summer heat.
