The snow outside the mountain has been falling, and it is no longer the level that it would melt when it fell on the ground a few days ago. The weather is cold, the winding mountain road is covered with snow, and vehicles outside the mountain can no longer pass to the military factory.

The same goes for the factory area in the valley. It started snowing at night and was covered in snow in the morning.

The students led by Professor Wang were quite happy at first because they could actually see the scenery of the northern snow country in the mountains. They had snowball fights and made snowmen and took photos as souvenirs. However, they soon discovered that the temperature did not get warmer after the sun rose.

The gray sun hanging high in the sky is like paper, without heat.

Professor Wang was afraid that the students would catch cold, so all the field supplementary tests originally scheduled for today were stopped. Everyone stayed in the dormitory and quickly sorted out the drawings.

Professor Wang and his friends built a small stove that burned wood. Although there was smoke, the dormitory floor was high and the door was slightly open, so the cold wind was not that strong and the smoke could be discharged.

The original power system of the dormitory building could not be connected to high-power electrical appliances. Fortunately, Professor Wang and his friends brought a temporary transformer box to connect it when they came here. Now when several computers are turned on, they can use water heaters to heat them up when they are thirsty.

We have water and a small stove for cooking, so we can get by.

There is a large stove with a chimney in Lao Xu's reception room. He usually cooks on this stove. When the weather is cold, the fire burns brighter and the whole room is warm. He does not use any electrical appliances. In addition to cooking,

Boil tea and water on the stove. If it is snowing in winter, drink tea or warm wine, and your life will definitely be comfortable.

But this year it's already April, and it's still snowing so heavily in the mountains. I heard on the radio that it's snowing heavily all over the country, both in the south and in the north. This is very strange.

Lao Xu couldn't help but murmured a little. Fortunately, Du Ruying had asked the children to bring him a lot of rice, flour, oil, meat, eggs, and milk before, saying that they were bought in S City. The ones with high calcium and nutrients were better than those in other towns. He was not good.

I accepted all the rejections, and now I have filled up half a room, and I can't finish the food in two or three months. Even if the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, I don't have to worry about food.

So Lao Xu thought about sending some to Professor Wang and the others. Du Ruying had also given Wang Kuan and his wife a lot of food and drink before, so they didn't lack anything for the time being.

Those young students all loved to drink milk, so he picked up a carton of milk, wrapped himself in a military coat, put on a police hat that he had rarely worn before, and left the door of the reception room. He was thinking about heading to Dormitory No. 1.

As I walked towards the building, I noticed something was wrong at the iron fence gate of the factory area.

Old Xu squinted and saw that a dog covered in snow was trying to squeeze through the iron fence into the factory. The dog saw Old Xu and barked.

Lao Xu hurriedly walked over, and this time he saw clearly. Isn't this dog Rhubarb, the native dog of ranger Li Guangfa? The dog also has a collar and a piece of dog rope, but where did Li Guangfa go?

The big yellow dog bit into Lao Xu's military coat and pulled him away, looking very anxious.

Lao Xu guessed that it was because of the heavy snow and the slippery road that Li Guangfa encountered some danger and fell somewhere, so the dog came to the military factory to ask for help?

Lao Xu opened the fence and comforted Gouzi: "Don't worry, Dahuang. I'll tell the people and I'll follow you there."

Dahuang seemed to understand what Lao Xu meant, relaxed his mouth, and followed Lao Xu obediently. Lao Xu quickly walked a few steps and handed the milk box in his hand to Professor Wang, and said smoothly: "My old friend

Something might have happened to ranger Li Guangfa, and his dog came to report the incident. I followed the dog to look for him."

Professor Wang was a little worried when he heard this, and asked with concern: "How about I ask a few boys to go with you?"

Lao Xu said: "No, you student Jin Gui is not used to walking on mountain roads. It's snowing so heavily. Don't run around, lest you catch a cold. I'll go back and come back. If anything happens, I'll call you."

Professor Wang nodded in agreement.

At noon, Professor Wang noticed that there seemed to be no one in Lao Xu's room. He was a little worried and quickly called Lao Xu's phone. After a few rings, the phone turned off.

Professor Wang immediately felt that something was wrong. If it was not convenient for Lao Xu to answer the phone at the moment, he could not answer the phone for now and call back when it was convenient. Why turn off the phone? He had doubts in his heart and did not dare to take the students for a walk in the mountains rashly, so he went

Next door, I contacted Wang Kuan and his wife and asked them to contact Du Ruying to see if they wanted to look for Lao Xu together.

Qi Qing received the call and told her mother, who immediately became a little anxious. When Lao Xu was young, he was strong, but now he is in his sixties. When he went out on a snowy day, his cell phone was turned off in case he bumped and fell.

, how can we not make people worry?

Mo Xun said: "Don't worry, I'll go out and look for you. I've learned tracking before. It might be easier to find people on snowy days than to look blindly if you have some skills. I'll go and have a look."

Qi Qing gave him two walkie-talkies and warned: "The signal is not good in the mountains and the snow is too heavy, so we should use this to contact him."

Mo Xun nodded and sighed: "If it weren't for such heavy snow, we could actually fly a drone to look for it, which would be more efficient."

Qi Qing sighed: "The most advanced drones I can buy are only for civilian use, and have relatively high weather and environmental requirements. Do you think military drones can fly normally in bad weather?"

Mo Xun nodded and seemed to remember something again. He brought an electric baton and a boning knife and inserted it into his boot. Before going out, he warned: "I heard from Lao Xu before that there was poaching."

Or, you should be careful yourself. If you are not an acquaintance, don’t open the courtyard gate.”

Qi Qing said: "Yes, I know, you should also pay attention to safety."

Mo Xun went to the dormitory building. Professor Wang and Wang Kuan both said that they would go out together to find Lao Xu. Mo Xun said: "I know some boxing and kicking skills and am in good physical condition. I can just go. If you follow me, it will slow down the speed. You guys

Lock the factory door and the dormitory door. When I come back, I can climb over the wall and come in. If someone calls the door, you can't open it if you don't know me."

Wang Kuan looked confused.

Professor Wang heard the clues and asked: "Is there any danger?"

Mo Xun said: "Didn't you say you suspected poachers? It's snowing so heavily. If there are bad guys, they are probably trapped in the mountains. I'm afraid they will come to the factory to cause trouble."

Professor Wang responded: "Okay."

Mo Xun left another walkie-talkie for them and said: "Qi Qing, you and I have three walkie-talkies. Don't go out easily. If you go anywhere, you will be notified."

After explaining, Mo Xun left the dormitory building, walked a few steps to the outside of the factory gate, took the stick lock that Old Xu used to lock the gate, locked the iron fence, and then followed the already blurry footprints toward the mountain.

The snow became heavier and heavier. At first, the footprints of a person and a dog could be distinguished, but then they became blurry. Until at the edge of a forest, there were no footprints, but there were some traces of dragging.

Mo Xun smelled a faint smell of blood.

Following the smell, he soon discovered the cold body of a dog that had been killed by a nail gun, and then he saw smoke coming from the ranger's cabin not far away.

I heard from Professor Wang that this big yellow dog belonged to ranger Li Guangfa. If nothing happened to Li Guangfa, how could he just dump his dog's body outside?
