Episode 5: Ning’an saves lives and becomes a hero

In order to successfully lure the mad wolf, Ning An offered to be the bait, but was rejected by Chao Ketu. Renqin suggested setting up an encirclement circle in the pastures of Nuoerjima, where everyone should not eat or smoke in ambush, so as not to alert the wolves. People in the camp need to be alert and responsible for watching every move outside.

Shao Xiaogang, as the captain of the militia, could hold a gun, and led Mo Chengming and Zhou Wei to wait for the wolves outside, only to find that Ning An was hiding in the sheepfold and disguised as a sheep. Ning An was not afraid of wolves’ attacks at all, and he was even more eager to make up for his mistakes. Mo Chengming reminded him that there was no need to put so many responsibilities on himself, but Ning An emphasized that wolves are the property of the country, and he has the responsibility and obligation to protect them.

Under Mo Chengming’s persuasion, Ning An temporarily went out of the sheepfold and went back to the tent for dinner, while Mo Chengming hid in the sheepfold instead of him. In the middle of the night, taking advantage of Shao Xiaogang’s deep sleep, Mo Chengming secretly took his shotgun to play with, but accidentally pulled the trigger. The sound of the gun attracted everyone’s attention. They all thought it was a wolf attacking the sheep, and the scene was in chaos.

Because of Mo Chengming, Shao Xiaogang was criticized by the captain and others, and even Zhou Wei couldn’t escape the blame. Renqin felt that now was not the time to blame, the most urgent thing was to recharge his batteries and wait until dawn to find a solution. The four leaned against the sheepfold in a daze, and noticed that the sheep were restless, while Ning An yelled that there were wolves.

Everyone didn’t believe it at first, until they saw one of the sheep dripping with blood, and instantly realized the seriousness of the matter. Before Mo Chengming could react, Ning An suddenly rushed towards him, blocking the mad wolf’s attack for him. Everyone hurriedly sent Ning An to the hospital, but fortunately he was fine. The doctor had already vaccinated Ning An, and now they are observing whether he is infected with rabies in the later stage.

Feeling guilty, Mo Chengming applied to the captain to stay in the hospital to take care of him, but the captain agreed after a moment of consideration. Soon this incident spread throughout the village, and the villagers knew about Ning An’s heroic deeds. Even newspapers and TV stations came to report on it, and the team decided to let Ning An continue to be the point leader.

Because it was the first time to face such a situation, Ning An and Mo Chengming seemed nervous and excited, but when the reporter asked Ning An to describe the details of saving lives, Ning An could not remember at all, saying that he would always remember Chairman Mao’s teachings, To be a warrior useful to the country and society. Captain Chao Ketu asked Mo Chengming to stand up and say a few words.

Mo Chengming hesitated for a long time, and finally thanked Ning An. Mo Chengming hoped that comrades from newspapers and TV stations could help bring some primary school textbooks. The people present were puzzled when they heard this. Ning An explained that these textbooks were used to teach the three children adopted by Norjima to read and write.

Not long after, Mo Chengming, Ning An and others saw the report in the newspaper. They had become well-known figures in the village. Nuoerjima and Hang La came to visit the hospital. Ning An was very concerned about Hang La’s opinion of him. After the others left, Ning An asked Mo Chengming if he thought Hang La liked him. Mo Chengming was worried that Ning An would get rabies, and asked about his symptoms and feelings in detail, which scared Ning An’s mind blank.

After this incident happened, families with boys in the village wanted to marry Hang La’s family, and they all went to talk to Uncle Hang La, but the uncle agreed in a daze, and informed Chao Ketu of the matter afterwards.

Soon Ning An recovered and returned to the yurt. The children were very happy. Mo Chengming took care of Ning An meticulously. Zhou Wei took the initiative to hug Ning An and welcome him back to the team. That night, Mo Chengming was in charge of guarding the sheepfold. Just as he was lying on the cart looking at the moon, he suddenly heard a scream from a distance.
