1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Don't be angry anymore. A couple fights, but they always make up at the end of the day."

On the way home, Chen Tiezhu said.

"Get lost. You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth." Han Xiuying said unhappily.

"This is easy. I'll put two green onions in my mouth when I get home." Chen Tiezhu said cheerfully.

"They are just putting green onions in a pig's nose, pretending to be an elephant." Han Xiuying rolled her eyes at him.

He can't coax people, can't say anything, and doesn't make sense when he says something. He's just a blockhead.

"Well, can I take a walk in the mountains? Now I can shoot a gun." Chen Tiezhu continued.

"You..., I don't want to bother with you."

The expected sweet talk went nowhere, and this blockhead was thinking about going hunting in the woods again.

"Then I can't always spend your dowry, and I can't bear to sell the gold bars and beads. Can I buy two ginsengs to relieve the time?" Chen Tiezhu said.

"At least we can get through the start-up period, and then we can make some room. We can make money in the future, and our business can be expanded."

"Yes, yes, yes, you can make money." Han Xiuying responded casually with a look of disgust.

"Is that certain? I really have to go in and take a look." Chen Tiezhu said.

"In fact, seeing that the New Year is coming, the villagers have to start preparing for the New Year. One or two more wild game on the table can also save some expenses."

"I have to explore the road for everyone first to see if there is any danger. Right? I also have to think about the people in our village. This is my responsibility as a young leader."

Han Xiuying was too lazy to pay attention to him. She put her hands in her sleeves and walked ahead with her head down.

Chen Tiezhu scratched his head. What's going on?

It was obviously cloudy just now, but why is it sunny and cloudy now?

"Professor Xu, do you still need me here?" After returning home, Chen Tiezhu came to the fermentation tank behind the house again.

"It's okay, we can do it." Professor Xu said.

"Anyway, just follow your method and heat the stirred culture medium. At the same time, we must keep records. This will provide data support for future large-scale preparations, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Okay, then I have to pack up and go into the mountains." Chen Tiezhu smiled and nodded.

Now it's really worry-free. With Professor Xu and others helping to take care of it, I don't have to worry about anything.

"Well, you should be careful and come back early." Han Xiuying said.

"Well, come back when it gets dark, don't stay inside for too long." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Wait for Doudou to come back, and you can help me fool him. Otherwise, this little guy will definitely make trouble. I'll see if I can catch some small animals for her to play with."

"Oh, do you need me to tell you? Hurry up and go, the sooner you go, the sooner you come back." Han Xiuying said unhappily.

She also knew that what Chen Tiezhu said made sense, after all, the villagers were not very well off.

Carrying a bow and a gun, Chen Tiezhu was really confident this time.

In fact, for him, he didn't think of attacking these big animals.

Although their existence brought risks to the mountain, they are also an important link in the food chain.

Now they are still strolling from Erdaoling to Toudaoling, which can only prove that the power structure on the mountain has changed a lot. So this time his goal is also very clear, that is Erdaoling.

It would be much faster if he came here alone.

It would be easy to report back after casually hunting some pheasants and rabbits.

But what puzzled him was that he had clearly passed through the first ridge and arrived at the second ridge, but he didn't even find a big animal.

Because at least, there would be one or two roars of animals occasionally, but now there was no movement. It was no different from the usual forest.

After a little identification of the direction, he ran around the back mountain of the second ridge.

The second master had said that there was something mysterious about the back mountain.

"Ah..."

Just as he was about to start, a tiger roar came from the depths of the forest, which scared him.

"Tsk tsk, but it's really incredible. Whether it's the eldest brother or the eldest sister, let's not meet each other." Chen Tiezhu sighed.

After calming down his little frightened mood, Chen Tiezhu also carefully moved up the mountain.

After strolling around the second ridge for a while, he was very scared.

Footprints can often be seen in the snow here, and they are all big.

His knowledge reserve is still a little insufficient, otherwise he would know what kind of animal it is.

He moved forward for less than ten minutes, and the antlers sticking out of the snow startled him again.

He carefully examined it with his gun, and then he got close to the antlers. The huge palm-shaped antlers are fan-shaped, with a long face, made him frown.

This is a elk, judging by its head, it must be big. Now only the head is here, and I don’t know what kind of tough guy it encountered.

Judging from the traces around it, it has been killed for a long time, at least before the snow.

Erdaoling, it really lives up to its reputation.

Then he walked in, the trees here have changed a little, and weeds have poked their heads out of the snow. Even if he walked here, it was not so convenient.

And there was no sign of hare and pheasant activities here, maybe this is the territory of some big animal.

It can’t be a tiger, right?

Thinking of this, he shook his head again, his luck couldn’t be so good.

But just thinking of this, he felt creepy again. Without thinking, he climbed up the tree next to him.

Looking in the direction of the danger, a strong tiger mother was holding a deer’s neck and walking slowly towards him.

He was so scared that he didn't even dare to breathe.

He always thought he was awesome.

Whether he met a herd of wild boars, a passing bear, a bad-tempered leopard lady, or a cunning wolf pack, he could smile slightly, saying that he was not afraid of you.

But after seeing this big tiger, he felt cold from the bottom of his heart.

It was more than two meters long and weighed more than 300 kilograms. Even if he looked at it secretly, he felt oppressive.

At this time, the tiger who was walking also stopped, looked around, and glanced at him.

A man and a tiger looked at each other for a while at a distance of more than 20 meters, and then the big tiger continued to hold the deer and walked up the mountain.

Chen Tiezhu, who was riding on the tree branch, grinned bitterly, it was so damn scary.

The power of the tiger was so terrifying. Even just looking at it could make people so scared.

Chen Tiezhu hesitated for a moment. He couldn't go directly to the back mountain for the time being, so he decided to go to the top of the mountain first.

This way, he could take advantage of the terrain. Otherwise, if he encountered other wild animals in such a forest, he might have to hide in the space to save his life.

After encouraging himself, he climbed up to the top of Erdaoling Mountain with a grunt.

He stopped slightly when he reached the middle of the mountain. Because in his feeling, there seemed to be something calling him on the top of the mountain.

But after he followed the calling feeling and climbed to the top of the mountain, he was stunned.

It seemed that he saw many great unity running towards him...
