The whole mountain is my hunting ground.

Chapter 474

When the two ancestral "weapons" of Zhang Yuanmin's family revealed their true colors, the expressions on Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu, and Jie Chen's faces at this moment were the same as those of the little bells on the kang, with their mouths curled up like eight. Like everything.

A large iron stick, two meters long, the thickness of the thumb.

This should be considered a long weapon.

With long weapons, naturally there are short weapons.In addition to this big iron stick, there is also a stove hook.

The stove hook is the one used to remove the ashes when burning stoves in rural areas.

Logically, if it were an ordinary stove hook, it wouldn't have been wrapped by Zhang Yuanmin's cloth.

Zhang Yuanmin's ancestral stove hook is made of round steel, slightly thinner than his thumb, more than [-] centimeters in length, but less than one meter.

The section held by the hand is shaped like a scorpion and becomes a gauntlet.This is the same as an ordinary furnace hook, and it is made so that when the ashes are taken out from the boiler, it can be used.

As for the front of the iron hook, it is different from the ordinary stove hook.

Ordinary furnace hooks are bent at right angles.But Zhang Yuanmin's iron hook has a very small curvature at the front, shaped like a fish hook, and is sharp and sharp.

No wonder Li Baoyu was about to get started just now, but Zhang Yuanmin was afraid of hurting him.

How much I expected before, how disappointed I am now.

Looking at the stove hook in Zhang Yuanmin's hand, Li Baoyu couldn't help but said, "Brother, did your ancestors burn charcoal?"

After showing the treasure, Zhang Yuanmin put away the two "weapons" and said with a smile: "Then you don't need to worry about it, you just know that Brother Ni is the leader in catching badgers."

Hearing what he said, Li Baoyu wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Zhao Jun, who only heard Zhao Jun say: "Okay, brother, then we will come to pick you up tomorrow morning."

After speaking, Zhao Jun took Li Baoyu and the reconciled minister to leave.

After returning home, Zhao Jun and Xie Chen finished washing up, poured hot water to wash his feet, and then went to bed on the kang.

The next morning, when Zhao Jun and the reconciled minister got up at five o'clock, Wang Meilan and Zhao Youcai had already prepared their meals.

Eggplant stewed with potatoes, the most common home-cooked dish in Northeast China, put a spoon in rice, mash eggplant and potatoes together, mix with rice, and then take a green onion leaf, fold it, tear it up, etc. Tear into small pieces and throw in a bowl.

Pick up a few stalks of coriander, shred them as well, and mix them in a bowl. Even three bowls of rice are not a problem at all.

When Zhao Junsheng was eating the third bowl of rice, the dog in the yard barked a few times, and Zhang Yuanmin's voice was heard immediately: "Who is at home? Show me the dog!"

"Coming!" Wang Meilan responded, and ran outside.

Zhao Jun looked out the window and saw Zhang Yuanmin, carrying a pickaxe, a shovel, and a long black cloth bag, entered the courtyard with Wang Meilan.

"Big brother, did you eat?" When Zhang Yuanmin came in, Zhao Jun asked him, "If you haven't eaten, let's have something together."

"It's over." Zhang Yuanmin said, "I have nothing to do at home, so I'll wait for you at home. You two eat slowly, don't worry."

"That's fine." Zhao Jun said: "Brother, wait for me for a few more minutes, I'll finish eating right away."

Five minutes later, Zhao Jun and Xie Chen both put down their chopsticks, and they went back to the house and changed into the clothes they went up the mountain. Zhao Jun carried a gun on his back, and then they went out of the house to the courtyard with Zhang Yuanmin.

Seeing Zhang Yuanmin pick up a shovel, a pickaxe, and his ancestral black cloth long bag, Zhao Jun asked, "Brother, don't we both have to take a pickaxe?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanmin replied, "Just take a pickaxe."

"Success!" Zhao Jun entered the warehouse, came out with a pickaxe, and said to Zhang Yuanmin, "Brother, today is up to you."

"Brother, you just..."

Zhang Yuanmin was about to speak when he saw Wang Meilan hurried out of the room with three iron lunch boxes.

"Come." Wang Meilan held two lunch boxes in one hand, and handed one to Zhang Yuanmin in the other, "Lianghe noodles steamed buns, if you don't come back at noon, you can put them on the mountain for a bite."

Zhang Yuanmin nodded, took the lunch box Wang Meilan handed over in his hand, but asked Zhao Jun beside him, "Brother, are we going to play anything else today?"

"No more." Zhao Jun replied, "I'll go with you, big brother. After we finish hunting the badgers, we'll take a walk to catch the badgers and that's it."

"That's fine." Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Zhang Yuanmin handed the lunch box to Wang Meilan and said, "Auntie, let's go now, and we'll be back in the morning."

"Ah." Wang Meilan responded, took the lunch box and said, "Then come back to eat at noon."

The three agreed, and before Zhao Jun went out, he asked Wang Meilan, "Mom, Han Shang has to come over and give our dog an injection later."

"I know that, son, don't worry." After Wang Meilan agreed, she sent the three of them out of the hospital and watched them board the car and go away.

There were no dogs in the trunk today, Zhao Jun was in the passenger compartment, huddled with Zhang Yuanmin.

Along the way, Zhang Yuanmin was still guiding the way. Looking at the route of the car, Zhao Jun asked Zhang Yuanmin, "Brother, is this going to 52?"

"That's right!" Zhang Yuanmin said with a smile, "I was picking mushrooms with your sister-in-law a while ago, and I saw a badger hole. I didn't spend much time at that time."

Badgers are social animals, living in crypts.This nest of badgers grows more and more every year.

They trim and expand their nests each fall, digging large amounts of soil from the holes.

But when people dug up the soil, it was never thrown up, and all of it was transported to a distance and piled up in a pile.

So, if you see a pile of soil under the head of a Yangpo, there must be a Badger Cave nearby.

The car stopped on the side of the road, and the three got out of the car. Zhang Yuanmin walked in front with his ancestral black cloth bag in his hand, while the shovels and picks he brought from home were all carried on Zhao Jun’s body.

In front of Badger Cave, Zhang Yuanmin sat down under the big tree, stood beside him with a long black cloth bag in his palm, and said to Zhao Jun and Xie Chen, "Two brothers, spread out to the left and right, and find the rest of the Badger Cave. Seal it up!"

Hearing Zhang Yuanmin's words, Zhao Jun knew that he had been reading a lot recently, but he was used to being with Li Baoyu at ordinary times.At this time, he didn't say much, and only took Xie Chen to look around, and moved stones to block the remaining two holes of Badgerzi.

Seeing that Zhao Jun and the reconciled ministers came back, Zhang Yuanmin got up and brought them to the entrance of the cave facing south.

Seeing that there was only one hole left, Xie Chen picked up the pickaxe and asked Zhang Yuanmin, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Zhang Yuanmin glanced at Jie Chen and said with a smile, "Brother, if you want to do this, you won't be exhausted?"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yuanmin took the black cloth bag standing beside him, laid it flat on the ground, unfolded it, and took out two "weapons".

Zhang Yuanmin walked to the hole with a big iron stick in one hand and an iron hook in the other.

Under the watchful eyes of Zhao Jun and Xie Chen, Zhang Yuanmin crouched down in front of the cave, put the iron hook aside, and then poked the iron stick into the cave.

Badger's Cave has a very delicate internal structure, with access passages and living bedrooms.

Moreover, the badgers hibernate during the winter, and although they do not come out in winter, they eat and drink in their nests.

Therefore, in Badgerzi Cave, there are also storage rooms for grain storage and toilets for toilets.

Now, Zhang Yuanmin's iron stick is the passage for Badger's travel, and this passage is not straight, but twists and turns.

Zhang Yuanmin probed the iron stick into the hole. The part inserted into the hole was about [-] centimeters, and it couldn't be touched anymore.

Zhang Yuanmin squeezed the iron stick with one hand at the level of the hole, and then slowly pulled out the part that was submerged in the hole.

After pulling out all the iron sticks, Zhang Yuanmin had already figured out the direction and length of the hole.

On the ground, Zhang Yuanmin placed the iron stick on the ground according to the direction of the hole, and where he held it was still flush with the hole.

At this time, the front end of the iron stick is the end of this section of the hole.

Zhang Yuanmin drew a line in front of the iron stick, then called Zhao Jun and Xie Chen, and shouted, "Come on, dig this place open for me!"

Xie Chen, who had doubts just now, now understands everything.Using the pickaxe from the place where Zhang Yuanmin drew the line is [-] centimeters less than cutting from the hole, which saves time and effort.

Following Zhang Yuanmin's instructions, Zhao Jun and Jie Chen stepped forward, Jie Chen swung the pickaxe and clicked twice, Zhao Jun picked up the soil that had been cut open and raised it behind him.

As Xie Chen dug through the soil, a hole appeared in front of the three of them. Unlike the south-facing hole just now, this hole was facing the southeast.

The iron stick just now, can't be explored here.

Zhang Yuanmin squatted down at the entrance of the cave again, and stuffed the big iron stick inside.

Zhang Yuanmin still held the iron stick where it was flush with the hole, pulled it out, and placed it toward the southeast.

However, the iron stick was one and a half meters long, and he couldn't reach it with his short arms, so he asked Jie Chen to say, "Let's dig it there."

Xie Chen went over and drew a mark in front of the lottery. When Zhang Yuanmin put away the iron lottery, he and Zhao Jun waved their shovels and picks to break through the soil.

Taking Zhao Jun to push the soil aside, only to find that the orientation of the entrance of the cave has changed again this time, but it faces southwest.

Zhang Yuanmin came over with a "weapon" in hand, knelt down and grabbed the soil, smelled it, and said, "It's almost there."

After speaking, he put the iron stick into the hole again.This time, I probed deeper and deeper, until the iron sticks penetrated into it, but there was no end.

Moreover, Zhang Yuanmin could still feel that something was biting his iron sign in the hole.

Zhang Yuanmin slowly pulled the iron stick out of the hole, then returned to the big tree where he was resting just now, put down the iron stick, picked up the iron hook, waved it twice in mid-air, and pointed at the entrance of the hole to Zhao Jun and Jie. The minister said: "From the entrance of the cave, dig to the northeast side for me!"

As usual, Zhao Jun is the protagonist, and the dirty work is done by others.But today, Zhang Yuanmin is a skilled worker, and Zhao Jun is a skilled worker.

And the laborers, in the Northeast dialect, are also called: those who serve the work.

The technical workers have spoken, and Zhao Jun and the minister will start working.

Suddenly, as Xie Chen went down with a pick, a large area of ​​soil all fell down, and something quickly turned around and plunged into the hole.

And this hole is seven or eighty centimeters wide.

It's three bedrooms and one living room!

"Big Brother!" Zhao Jun shouted at Zhang Yuanmin, who held a flashlight in his right hand and an iron hook in his left hand, and when he arrived at the cave, he shone the flashlight inside.

This cave is not completely dark. Although the three entrances and exits are blocked, Badger's cave has special ventilation holes, which can seep in the slightest light.

Zhang Yuanmin took a photo of the flashlight, and saw the pair of eyes, each with a dim yellow light when they met the flashlight.

Zhang Yuanmin turned around and said to Zhao Jun and Xie Chen: "You two stay outside, I'll get in!"

"Ah?" Hearing what he said, Zhao Jun was taken aback for a moment, and his first reaction was: "You let me in, but I can't get in either."

"Brother!" Xie Chen asked Zhang Yuanmin from the side, "You got in, how did you come out?"

At this time, not only Jie Chen, but even Zhao Jun was in a hurry. It was very common to pick badgers, and there were many people who used shovels and picks to plan this piece.

But I haven't seen one that drilled into the Badger's hole. What should I do if the Badger bites me when I get in?
Even if the badger doesn't bite him, as Jie Chen said, why does he come out?This hole, you can't turn over when you go into it, and you can't arch your body, you have to get stuck halfway through the hole.

Moreover, as soon as he got in, he couldn't get in or get out, so he couldn't dig up the soil when Zhao Jun reconciled with his ministers outside, or would he dig up on him?

Seeing Zhao Jun and Xie Chen's worries, Zhang Yuanmin smiled and said, "I can't get out, don't you two? After I get in for a while, you two will look at me and act."

"Wait a minute!" Zhao Jun heard the words, and quickly stopped Zhang Yuanmin and said, "Brother, you've already slipped in, why should I act with winks? Why don't you give me the whole cup?"

Zhang Yuanmin laughed loudly and asked, "Brother, have you read and studied recently?"

After finishing speaking, seeing that Zhao Jun's face was not right, Zhang Yuanmin said hurriedly: "Brother, listen to me. I will go in, and you two will watch from the outside. If I want to push my left leg, you two will push me in; if I push Right leg, you two just drag me and pull it out."

Having said that, Zhang Yuanmin handed the iron hook and flashlight to Jie Chen, then he untied the hemp rope tied around his waist, tightened it a little from the left and right, and after tying it again, took the iron hook and the iron hook from Jie Chen's hand. flashlight.

"Brother." Zhao Jun was a little worried and asked, "Is this safe?"

"Hehe." Zhang Yuanmin chuckled, waved his hand at Zhao Jun and said, "Brother, just watch mine."

After speaking, Zhang Yuanmin came to the badger cave, knelt down in front of the cave, and sent the flashlight and iron hooks into the cave one by one.

Then, Zhang Yuanmin put his hands into the hole first, and then greeted Zhao Jun and his ministers. The two hurried forward, held Zhang Yuanmin's mouth, and put his head and front chest into the hole.

This hole, whether it is big or small, can allow him to enter alone, but cannot allow him to climb inside.

After Zhang Yuanmin's stomach entered the hole, he saw that his left leg was pushing back tightly, and Zhao Jun and the reconciled minister could only push his foot and continue to push him into the hole.

At this time, Zhang Yuanmin's upper body was already in the hole. He used his flashlight to see a big badger not far in front of him. Zhang Yuanmin stretched out his arm and poked the iron hook in his hand towards the badger.
