The whole mountain is my hunting ground.

Chapter 116 Clamping Sables Up the Mountain (5K)

The whole night, Wang Meilan didn't show any smile on her face.

Feeding malted milk to dogs, thanks to him, Zhao Jun, figured it out. If outsiders know about it, what should I say?
Is the eldest son of the old Zhao family crazy, or stupid?

Could it be that the black bears have been fighting too much recently and have become an upstart?

Wang Meilan could imagine that by that time, there would be worse words than this.

The key is that Zhao Jun's approach is a real prodigal.

However, Zhao Jun has already bought the malted milk essence and fed the little green dog, and the bill has already been hung up in the small shop, so Wang Meilan can't deny it?
Wouldn't that be more embarrassing?
For Wang Meilan to hold her nose and accept this account, she was of course very upset.

What made Wang Meilan unhappy was that she didn't give Zhao Jun a good face at the dinner table.

After dinner, Wang Meilan finished washing the dishes before Zhao Youcai came back from get off work.

Zhao Youcai returned home, entered the room and saw that his daughter-in-law looked strange, and hurriedly asked what happened at home.

After Wang Meilan finished talking about the absurd things Zhao Jun did, Zhao Youcai thought for a while and said, "It's okay, the ewe I raised in the cafeteria gave birth to a calf, and I'll bring it back tomorrow, so that son of a bitch can drink sheep with me." The milk is over."

The cafeteria of the forest farm has to store nearly [-] catties of Chinese cabbage every autumn, and then feed the forest farm workers from November to April and May of the next year.

It can be said that these cabbages are the main source of vegetables eaten by the forestry workers for half a year.

With so much cabbage, there are bound to be many rotten and wilted leaves, which are mostly fed to pigs and cows.

As an uncompromising person in the first cafeteria of the forest farm, Zhao Youcai withheld some vegetable leaves and raised two sheep, one male and one female.

After winter, Zhao Youcai killed the ram when he saw that the ewe was pregnant.

After killing the sheep, Zhao Youcai gave half of the mutton to his in-laws, and the other half was divided into several shares and given to several leaders in the field.

As for the ewes, because they were pregnant and were not killed, Zhao Youcai has been feeding them well.

Until half a month ago, the ewe gave birth to two lambs.

The three sheep, one big, two small, were all Zhao Youcai's private property, but he didn't take the sheep home because he didn't have so many rotten vegetables and leaves for them to eat.

But today his son came back with a dog, and he wanted to feed the dog malted milk, how could this happen?

There was no other way, so the sheep had to be brought back and let the ewe feed the puppies and lambs together.

Wang Meilan had no objection to this, even if she gave up some potatoes to feed the ewe, it would be better than giving malted milk to the dog.

Thinking of this, Wang Meilan said to Zhao Youcai: "Then I'll go to the cellar tomorrow and hook up a bag of potatoes."

"No need." Zhao Youcai said: "Why don't you have to let Shunzi drive the sheep back tomorrow, and then let him take a few bags of cabbage leaves by the way."

"That's great!" Wang Meilan was overjoyed, this time she didn't even need to prepare food for the ewes.

The more she thought about it, the happier Wang Meilan said to Zhao Youcai: "Youcai, why don't you use the car to bring back more vegetable leaves at a time, and I will have two more rabbits to raise."

"Don't think about raising rabbits." Zhao Youcai said, "Hurry up to your son's house and bring that bucket of malted milk. Give this to the dog. What did he think?"

"I'll go right away!" After being told by Zhao Youcai, Wang Meilan remembered that the malted milk essence was still in Zhao Jun's room, so she hurriedly got off the kang to go to Zhao Jun's room.

"Mom, mom." At this moment, Zhao Hong called Wang Meilan twice.

"What are you doing?"

Zhao Hong opened the kang cabinet, and under the surprised eyes of Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan, she took out a packaging bucket containing malted milk essence.

I only heard Zhao Hong say: "Mom, you don't need to go, my brother said to give this to me and my little sister to drink."

"This..." Wang Meilan sat back on the kang, took the small bucket containing malted milk essence from Zhao Hong's hand, weighed it in her hand, and asked Zhao Hong very puzzled: "He gave this to you two Drink, then what will he feed the dog?"

Zhao Hong said: "My brother asked you to make some rice soup for the dog tomorrow morning."

Speaking of this, Zhao Hong thought of something again, and hastily added: "Mom, remember to make it thicker."

"I..." Wang Meilan didn't know whether she should be angry or happy, and after thinking about it, she snorted and said, "This kid has learned to order his mother."

Zhao Youcai sat up from the kang, moved Zhao Hong's body, and asked his second daughter: "I will make rice soup tomorrow, so your elder brother said no, what will he feed that dog in the future?"

Zhao Hong looked at Zhao Youcai, and said with a smile: "My brother said, what to feed in the future, dad will find a way."

"I..." Zhao Youcai blinked his eyes, and suddenly had the idea of ​​rushing to the opposite room and beating Zhao Jun violently.

And there is no reason to beat my son today, if I don't beat him again, maybe I won't be able to beat him again.

But this thought just passed by in a flash, what remained in Zhao Youcai's heart was still the comfort of his old father.When the son grows up, he can play tricks with the old man.

However, this kid did pretty well.

Thinking about the forest farm recently, many people praised Zhao Jun for his promise, and Zhao Youcai felt that his face was radiant.

That night, the little green dog, who was full of food and drink, slept soundly in his fur hat.But at four o'clock the next morning, it crawled out of the hat while chattering.

Heck, heck, he woke up Zhao Jun.

This time, Zhao Jun didn't let him urinate in the house, but took it outside, and when it finished urinating, he immediately took it back into the house.

At this time, Wang Meilan not only got up, but also cooked the rice soup.

"Mom, why do you get up so early?" Zhao Jun reached out and touched the rice soup bowl, feeling that the temperature was about the same, so he held it in front of the little green dog and fed it.

Wang Meilan said: "Our family will have a treat the day after tomorrow. I'll get up and think about it, and see what's missing at home, so that your dad can bring it back from the venue together."

As the master chef of the canteen, Zhao Youcai definitely didn't need to buy salty sauce and vinegar at home, otherwise, he would have to be laughed at.

"Mom, if you still need to buy something, don't run away, tell me, and I will buy it for you."

"Okay." Wang Meilan's attitude this morning was completely different from last night, she told Zhao Jun, "What time is it, son, please sleep for a while."

Zhao Jun agreed, and when the little green dog finished drinking the rice soup, he took it back to the house and went to sleep.

He slept until almost seven o'clock when Zhao Jun was woken up by Li Baoyu's loud voice.

Knowing that Li Baoyu had to come in soon, Zhao Jun simply got up and put on his clothes.

Before he finished dressing, Li Baoyu opened the door and came in. Zhao Jun looked up and saw that Li Baoyu was holding a pair of snowboards made of wild boar skin in his hand.

This kind of skis was handed down from the Oroqen people. Its style is roughly the same as the later skis. The fur side of the wild boar belt faces down, and the smooth hair faces forward.

Zhao Jun got down from the kang, took over the skis, looked at both sides and said, "It can be done."

Li Baoyu said: "Well, hurry up and urge him."

"Have you eaten yet?" Zhao Jun asked Li Baoyu.

"Eat." Li Baoyu leaned over to the kang, glanced at the little green dog sleeping in a dog fur hat, turned around and said to Zhao Jun, "If I had known about my uncle's goat's milk, I would have bought one too."

This news was just told by Wang Meilan to Li Baoyu.

Zhao Jun just smiled and said to Li Baoyu: "Brother, hurry home and find all the clips. Take as many as you have."

"What are you doing?" Li Baoyu asked curiously, "What are you looking for?"

Zhao Jun raised the wild boar skin skis in his hand, and said to him, "Go up the mountain and take the big skins?"

"Now?" Li Baoyu was stunned, this was too swift and resolute, so he left as soon as he said it.

"Yes, now." Zhao Jun nodded, and said: "Let's go after dinner, let's go back quickly, go up the mountain now, and come back in the afternoon."

"Brother, this...isn't it the New Year?"

"Are you busy today?" Zhao Jun asked.

"It's okay."

Zhao Jun said: "We don't want to fight today, we will come back after putting the trap on the head, and we will go up to slip the trap after the [-]th."

The meat of sables cannot be eaten, only the skin is needed.The clip is clamped, and the fur is not afraid of freezing, no matter how many days it goes up, it is the same.

When Li Baoyu heard it, he felt that what Zhao Jun said made sense. The key point was that the price of Dapi had increased again this year, and it was still soaring.

Now the public store at the foot of the mountain accepts a large piece of skin, and if the condition is not good, they can still give about 300 yuan.

"Brother, you eat first, I'll go home and clean up." Thinking of earning so much money, Li Baoyu only said a word to Zhao Jun, then turned and left.

Zhao Jun came out of the house and asked Wang Meilan to serve him a meal. After he finished the two bowls of corn stubble porridge, the four sticky bean buns, and the mustard lumps and pickles, he went back to his room and told the little green dog Zhao Hong and Zhao Na confessed: "Brother, go out and take care of Qinglong at home."

The two sisters, Zhao Hong and Zhao Na, were very dissatisfied with Zhao Jun giving the little green dog such a name, but they couldn't hold back the dog's owner, so they could only recognize him by heart.

After explaining to the two younger ones, Zhao Jun came out and talked to Wang Meilan again, Wang Meilan didn't object to this, anyway, there was nothing that Zhao Jun had to do at home, so it's better to let him go up the mountain to pick up the big leather.

It's just that Wang Meilan asked repeatedly, and the content of the advice was nothing more than that the Chinese New Year was coming, so don't hit the black and blind, and nothing will happen.

Zhao Jun sincerely agreed, he made up his mind this time, even if he passed by the door of Heixiazi's warehouse, he would never kill him.

However, when Zhao Jun was about to go out, he still took off the gun from behind the door and carried it on his shoulder.

This is for self-defense.

Zhao Jun came out of his house, climbed over the wall and went to Li Baoyu's courtyard, and saw Li Baoyu hurriedly pushed the door out, holding a wooden clip in his hand and stuffing it into his pocket in front of him.

"How many?" Zhao Jun asked him.

"Eight." Li Baoyu patted the pocket in front of him, and said to Zhao Jun, "This pocket is full of clips, and I don't even have a rope."

"No need." Zhao Jun said, "We won't fight anything today, we'll go back early."

Li Baoyu nodded, took the wild boar skin skis standing in the corner, and followed Zhao Jun out of the house.

The two went out of the village and into the mountains all the way, not taking flat or gentle slopes, but going to the high mountains step by step.

Near the foot of the high mountain, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu cut four slender ash sticks nearby, and then put the toe covers on the wild boar skin skis on their feet.

On the skis, there are strings sewn on both sides of the toe covers, which can be tied around the calf to be more secure.

The two stepped on skis and supported ash sticks, and went up the hillside.

As the saying goes: snow under the mountains.

The snow at the foot of the mountain was as deep as Zhao Jun's chest.

At first, both of them felt a little uncomfortable when they stepped on the skis, but the children who grew up in the Northeast have been inseparable from ice and snow since they were young. Although they don't have skates or roller skates, they can skate all winter and winter, so that they have a very good balance feel.

Although I was uncomfortable at the beginning, I quickly mastered this kind of skis.

As they climbed higher and higher, when they were approaching the top of the mountain, the snow was so deep that Zhao Jun couldn't get in.

The terrain on this hillside was slightly gentle, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu stopped and searched around.

After a while, Zhao Jun heard the whistle, and stepped on the skis to find the sound.

From a distance, he saw Li Baoyu waving to him, and Zhao Jun slid forward slowly while staring at the snow surface carefully.

When he saw a few rows of small footprints, he slowly controlled the skis to stop, and squatted slightly to observe carefully.

Zhao Jun could tell that these footprints were indeed made by sables, but not one or two.

Instead, within a very narrow area, they overlap repeatedly back and forth.

It seems that there is a sable who has been back and forth countless times on this road.

As the old saying goes: Snakes have snake ways, rats have mouse ways.

In fact, not only snakes and rats, but also rabbits go in and out through the same path.

The same is true for sables, so hunters can set traps according to its habits.

Zhao Jun stepped on the skis and came beside Li Baoyu. Instead of picking up the wooden clip in Li Baoyu's hand, he took off his gloves and took out a stack of papers from his trouser pocket.

This paper is all matts, it should be Zhao Hong's used homework book, although the little girl is not very old, but the handwriting is neat and neat.

Not only the front grid is full of words, but even the back is also full.

"Hold it to me." Zhao Jun handed the paper to Li Baoyu.

Li Baoyu didn't even think about it, and didn't even ask, Zhao Jun asked him to hold it, and he just reached out to take it.

Zhao Jun squatted down, knelt down on one knee, and his left knee fell on the front of the left ski.

Zhao Jun put on his gloves again, and started shoveling snow about [-] feet away from those footprints.

After digging a small hole four to fifty centimeters deep, Zhao Jun reached down and dug under the place where the sable left its footprints.

During this process, Zhao Jun moved very slowly and carefully.

The sable is the most alert animal.

Eyes see six directions, ears listen to all directions.This sentence is most appropriate when applied to them.

It walks this way back and forth every day. If it walks and walks and finds that the footprints in front of it are broken, or there are footprints of other creatures around, then it must turn around and run away.

Zhao Jun dug carefully, and under those footprints, he dug out a small space that could fit a wooden clip.

At this time, the snow above the space was about five centimeters thick.The snow was pressed very hard, and the surface of the snow was frozen into a thin layer, so that it would not collapse.

After Zhao Jun had finished digging, he greeted Li Baoyu and said, "Come on, give me the clip first."

Li Baoyu came beside Zhao Jun on a ski, bent down and handed the clip of the board to Zhao Jun first.

Zhao Jun first opened the clip, then handled it gently, and stuffed the wooden clip into that space.

At this time, the top of the wooden clamp is about two fingers away from the snow layer above.

"A piece of paper." Zhao Jun said again.

When he said this, he took off all the gloves on his hands and stuffed them into the pockets of his cotton-padded jacket.

Li Baoyu couldn't twist the paper with his gloves on, so he took off one glove, separated a piece of matt paper, and handed it to Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun took the paper, stuffed it into the space with both hands, and covered it with the clip.

If this piece of paper is not covered, the sable will pass over it, and the moment the snow is trampled down, the snow will fall on the clip, and the trap will be activated directly.

In this way, the sable will not be caught.

But if a layer of paper is laid, the snow will be blocked by the paper. This paper can withstand the snow on it and can ensure that the trap will not be triggered.

And when the sable immediately fell, it exceeded the tolerance range of the paper, and then the trap under the paper would be triggered, and then the sable would be caught.

After setting up the trap, Zhao Jun put on his gloves, first grabbed the snow and slowly sealed the opening of the space, hiding the clip.

After that, he filled the surrounding snow back into the hole he dug layer by layer. This process was still very slow, very careful, very careful.

After the snow pit was filled, Zhao Jun got up and used the skis on his feet to level the hole just now.

"It's done!" After finishing all this, Zhao Jun smiled at Li Baoyu and said, "Hurry up, find the next place."

The two stepped on skis and then walked towards the mountains and Dagang.

Walking on skis is much faster than walking.Not long after, on a high mountain, the two found traces of the sable's actions.

Zhao Jun still did the same thing, and stuffed another clip into the place where the sable passed.

After watching it twice, Li Baoyu saw it all.In fact, there is no technical content in this job, as long as you are careful and patient.

Therefore, Li Baoyu and Zhao Junbing split into two groups, and searched for traces of sables on the surrounding hills together, and then set traps.

After the two of them finished all eight clips, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, and they went down the mountain on their skis to go home.

Sliding down the mountain from the mountain, the speed of travel can be faster.

Along the way, Zhao Jun kept reminding Li Baoyu to skate slowly. This kid was a little crazy, and he pedaled the skis very fast.

Suddenly, Li Baoyu stopped and whistled at Zhao Jun in front of him.

It stands to reason that the two of them were not far apart, and Zhao Jun could see him stop.That being the case, Li Baoyu's whistle now is urging Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun kicked twice quickly, and when he was approaching Li Baoyu's side.Zhao Jun saw that at this fork in the road, the snow was covered with footprints of wild boars.

Some footprints can't be distinguished clearly, but roughly estimated, there must be fifteen or six footprints passing by here.

"Brother, do you want to fight?" At this moment, Li Baoyu was eager to try.

"Don't fight!" Zhao Jun said categorically, today is the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, let alone a wild boar, even if you meet a black bear on the road, as long as the black bear does not attack him and Li Baoyu, Zhao Jun will be resolute Do not hit.

These footprints were on the same road as Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu, they didn't care, and continued to walk home along the footprints.

However, when they passed another fork in the road, they found the footprints of another seven or eight wild boars descending from the south slope, joining the footprints of the group of pigs they had been following.

Therefore, when Zhao Jun continued on his way, he found that there were more and more wild boar footprints.

I'm afraid there will be more than 20 heads!
"Brother, do you want to fight!" Li Baoyu became even more excited.

"No." Zhao Jun refused without thinking.It's still the same reason, it's the Chinese New Year, safety comes first, and it's nothing to worry about.

They followed the footprints again, and when they passed another fork in the road, they found that all the footprints they followed had gone north.

The two looked towards the north curiously, and saw that on the northern slope, the mountain was full of wild boar footprints.

There is no need to count them in detail, both Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu knew that the herd of pigs was so large that it was frightening.

Li Baoyu opened his mouth wide, let the cold north wind pour into his mouth, but said: "There must be fifty or sixty of them?"

"Go home!" Zhao Jun walked home on his skis without even thinking about it.

With such a large group of pigs, even if they wanted to fight, they couldn't.

When the two came out of the mountain field and approached the village, they threw away the ash sticks in their hands and took off the wild boar skin skis on their feet and pinched them in their hands.

Just now I went down the mountain on my skis, and the speed was too fast to talk.

At this time, Li Baoyu, who had been holding back for a long time, immediately opened the chatter box and asked Zhao Jun, "Brother, shouldn't the wild boars break up the gang at this time? Why do they still get together?"

It is true that wild boars live in groups, but on weekdays, they live in groups, and one family is one family.

Only when there is light snow in winter, wild boars will gather together to multiply.And at the current solar term, the wild boars who have had enough tossing and tossing will start to dismantle the gang.

With so many wild boars gathering together while walking, it is simply counterintuitive.

Zhao Jun frowned, and said after a while: "I'm afraid there is a big guy!"

"What big guy?" Just then, a voice sounded from behind the two of them.
