hunting in 1986

Chapter 269 Chapter 268

Visiting relatives and friends, chatting, enjoying delicious food... A new year is lively and fulfilling.

Unknowingly, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has passed, and the winter vacation has passed. After playing for more than a month, the children picked up their schoolbags and went to school again.

"Second brother, I'm going to school, hey~ give you the big white cat."

My younger sister Wang Xiaodie got a new schoolbag, but it wasn't enough to withstand the sadness of starting school.

"Hold her and put it down, be honest and don't bully your classmates." Sitting on the kang, Wang Yuan smoked, took out his pocket and handed Xiaodie 2 cents.

2 cents is a lot, enough for the little girl to buy some snacks.

"Second brother, you are so kind!"

Xiaodie happily took the money and ran out of the house.

Wang Yuan watched Xiaodie run out of the yard through the window, looked back and touched the big white cat, at this time Li Yan walked in:
"Yesterday Uncle Wei Guo said that a dozen flying dragons died, let's go over there and have a look."

When Wang Yuan and his wife arrived at the flying dragon farm, the dead flying dragons were arranged in two rows, and their hairs were blown up, and Uncle Wei and his wife also felt distressed.

After careful searching, there was no wound on Feilong's body. The temperature of the furnace was low in the past two days, so I guessed that Feilong's own resistance was weak, and the temperature was low, so he froze to death.

"There's not much coal left. I thought that if I burn less coal a day, I don't need to buy any more. Isn't Feilong living well in the wild snow nest? What?" Uncle Wei blamed himself.

"It has been bred for so many generations, and it can't compare to a pure wild dragon. In this case, the temperature still needs to be increased. Don't be afraid of burning coal. I'll ask someone to pull another cart of coal over."

"Oh, I see."

The Flying Dragon that froze to death could not be wasted, one was left for Uncle Wei and his wife, and the rest was taken away by Wang Yuan.

Give parents, grandma, second uncle, third uncle and others a share of the rest for lunch.

When I got home, I called Shen Erlei, and the other party promised to transport 10 tons of coal in the afternoon. The price of coal has risen again, but the profit of Feilong Farm is very high, so Wang Yuan doesn't care about the extra money.

noon.

As soon as the remaining 3 flying dragons were stewed, there was a shout from outside the yard:
"Is Wang Yuan at home? Hey, why is the stew so delicious?"

"Who? It's Wu Qian, come in." Wang Yuan scolded the barking dogs and let Wu Qian into the house.

Seeing the delicious stewed flying dragon meat just out of the pot, Wu Qian was also very greedy. Wang Yuan handed him chopsticks to let him eat whatever he wanted, and Wu Qian grabbed a piece and ate it.

"Hmm! It's delicious! This flying dragon meat is better than chicken. I want to raise a flying dragon."

"It can be raised. It is not difficult to raise this thing. I will provide you with seedlings."

"Forget it then, I'm going to be so busy with a chicken farm." Wu Qian wanted to eat a piece of flying dragon meat to taste it, but it was so delicious that he couldn't help it. I ate two pieces.

The reason why Wu Qian came here was to discuss with Wang Yuan on which day he would go into the mountains. It was agreed years ago that they would go hunting together in the mountains.

The time for some discussions was set in three days.

Time passed, three days later Wang Yuan got up early in the morning, put on the cotton coat, cotton shoes, put on leggings, put all the things that should be brought into a bamboo basket, and finally put the three iron box bombs solemnly.

A box of 100 rounds, three boxes is definitely enough for everyone to use together.

"Father, do you want to go haha?" Xiao Tingzi was still lying in the warm bed, she hadn't started the Yuhong class yet, she just played every day, and she didn't have to get up early to live happily every day.

"I'm going hunting, don't you like meat? When I come back, I'll bring you some meat! Well, put on the quilt and catch a cold."

In the morning, it was cold inside the room, there was a layer of beautiful ice flowers on the windows, and the stove was about to die, so Wang Yuan opened the bottom of the stove and it would be ready to burn in a while.

Li Yan also got up, and hurriedly packed some more millet for Wang Yuan without combing his hair. Besides, red pepper, white wine, pickled vegetables, dried vegetables, etc. could be filled as much as he could.

"Do you want to bring pots, bowls, axes, and saws?"

"I don't need to take those, it's all agreed that Wu Qian and the others will take them."

Wang Yuan went out with his dogs on his back, joined Wang Hu, Wang Meng, Wu Qian, Liu Hui, Zhu Zi and other five people, and saw a large group of dogs running around.

Liu Hui was very happy, and after counting the number, he shouted directly: "22 dogs! Hey, this time it's amazing, even if you meet a tiger, you won't be afraid!"

"Get lost, wild tigers are so easy to get along with? You think they are those guys in the zoo, you can't talk nonsense."

Wu Qian was taken aback. His cousin was a truck driver transporting pine wood. He heard his cousin talk about encountering a tiger. Originally, there was nothing within 20 meters, but the next moment the tiger jumped up to him. Just shattered the glass of the car.

At that time, his cousin was so scared that he pissed, it was a shadow in his heart for the rest of his life.

Wang Yuan directly became the leader of the team with his superb marksmanship and careful thinking. The key is that everyone was more convinced of him. After checking the things he brought, he set off.

At the beginning, everyone was very enthusiastic, the forest, sea and snow field, the beautiful scenery was very magnificent, but after more than an hour, they were all silent.

Walking in the woods in the cold weather is really suffering. In contrast, it is indeed happier to stay in a warm room.

But if you stay in the house, you will not experience the fun of hunting.

10 o'clock noon.

After walking for several hours, not only are people tired, but the dogs are also a little tired. They buried the pot for cooking, and soon the smell of rice mixed with the smell of cooking smoke wafted away.

Surrounded by dense pine trees, occasionally squirrels flash past on the trunk.

"Hey! Look what we found!"

Wang Yuan was adding firewood to the fire when Wu Qian, who had gone hunting suddenly, came back with Wang Hu.

They wanted to take some prey to feed the dogs in their free time at noon, but they missed the prey and found a nest of pine nuts from the snow instead.

"How did you find it?"

"I saw signs of digging in the snow, so I dug it curiously, but I didn't realize that there are many pine trees underneath, which must have been buried by squirrels!"

It was a surprise that Wang Hu was so happy. When he put the pine nuts on a small shovel and put them into the fire, they quickly cracked open.

"Well, it's delicious~ The little squirrel has worked so hard, the hidden food is cheaper for us, haha."

"Okay, okay, look at your shyness, the squirrel is anxious to tickle you."

"Can squirrels scratch people? I don't know."

Everyone was nibbling pine nuts while waiting for the rice to be cooked. It was relaxed and carefree, and it was desolate. In the old forest covered with thick snow, it was actually very easy to make people depressed.

No matter how bad the mood is in such a harsh environment, it is really internal and external troubles, which will make things worse, and maybe you will really die inside.

So it is very important to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude.

For this reason, Wang Yuan told several colorful jokes, which made everyone laugh out loud. Wang Meng was a little sullen, and finally almost burst into tears.

"Okay, the rice is ready! Let's eat!"

"Does anyone eat candied garlic? Apart from candied garlic, there are salty beans, peppers, radishes, Jerusalem artichokes..."

"Give me some salted radish...these more than 20 dogs can be built, we must hunt some prey, otherwise we won't be able to keep them for a long time."

"I know, let's find a temporary station later, and try to get something before dark... We'll have to walk for another day tomorrow, and we should be able to reach our destination tomorrow afternoon."

Wang Yuan sipped a sip of rice soup made of millet porridge, the warmth flowed into his stomach, and he felt comfortable all over.

I just brought four dog bowls, and I can only let the dogs take turns to cook. It is impossible to eat enough, but it is good to be half full.

After eating and resting for a while, everyone set off again.

On the way, I met two silly rabbits. In front of so many hunting dogs, the silly rabbits had no way to escape and were caught directly.

At 03:30 in the afternoon, everyone found a temporary residence—three big pine trees were 6 to 7 meters away from each other, forming a triangle, and surrounded it with plastic sheeting to leave a gap for entry and exit. The six people were divided into two groups.

Wang Yuan, Wu Qian, and Zhu Zi went hunting with their dogs.

Wang Hu, Liu Hui, and Wang Meng are in charge of setting up the firewood—they need enough firewood for one night, and if there is no firewood in the middle of the night, they will play ball.

The setting sun was setting, and there were gunshots in the distance. When Wang Yuan and the others came back, they brought a half-sized wild boar, 5 wild rabbits and 4 sand-and-a-half chickens.

"Hey, have you caught a lot of prey?"

"The rabbits and chickens were caught by the dogs. There are indeed a lot of prey here."

The reduction of carnivores has indeed increased the number of wild rabbits, sand chickens, etc., and the prey is cleaned up a little further to the west, or stewed or roasted, and eaten directly after the seasoning is cooked.

"It's finally time to eat meat after being tired all day, um, it's delicious!"

"After walking for a day, the soles of my feet hurt, and I don't know if it's the bleeding blisters from grinding."

"Go and go, I'll feed you later!" Wang Yuan and the others drank and ate meat around the campfire, while the dogs sat, stood or lay down and watched.

The sun had completely set, and the stars in the sky were shining brightly, but the whistling cold wind also became stronger, blowing the plastic sheets around it and rattling.

The plastic sheet is surrounded from the ground to a height of two meters. Although it is relatively thin, it can also block some cold wind.

After eating and drinking enough to feed the dogs, everyone divided into two groups and began to sleep. Wang Yuan chose to sleep in the middle of the night, so he felt bored sitting on the wooden pier, so he filled a bucket with snow to boil water.

Huhuhu~
The flames were leaping, and the snow in the iron bucket was melting rapidly, until finally there was only a small layer of water less than 5 centimeters deep.

"Huzi, do you want some water?"

"Well, come on a little bit."

The snow looks white and flawless, but in fact there are many small impurities in it, and the snow water from burning is also quite dirty.

However, the environment is difficult and some hot water is very happy to drink. After pouring some hot water for Huzi, Wang Yuan also fed water to Big Wolf and his dogs. Big Wolf lay down next to Wang Yuan after drinking the water. , Resting his chin on his shoes, he slowly fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, the roar of wild animals sounded, which was quite frightening.

Early in the morning of the next day, everyone hurriedly set off after breakfast. They rushed all the way without taking a break at noon, and finally arrived at the target area at four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Many hunters have built nests here, let's go, find a better one and let's live in it!"

Zhuzi is a full-time hunter who is familiar with the surrounding area. He took Wang Yuan and the others to the south for a while, and soon saw a nest, which was half hidden in the ground. Inside, the pots and pans were quite complete, and the floor was covered inside. A few sheepskins look very warm.

But there is a disadvantage that it is too small, I am afraid it can barely accommodate two people.

"This one is too small, let's go, let's find him."

Zhuzi knows the rules, and the owner of the nest is likely to come back to live at the end of this year, so he closed the broken door and moved the tree stump to block the door, so that no animals would go in and cause trouble up.

As the sun slanted to the west, the shadows of the big trees were elongated, and the birds began to chirp.

I was not satisfied with finding several nests in a row. When the last ray of sunlight was about to disappear completely, I finally found a relatively large nest.

Diwozi is like a bunker, covered with thick snow. People can only bend over after entering. The door opens to the south, and a small window with a side length of about half a meter is opened on the north.

The windows were covered with several layers of plastic sheeting so that the air would not be ventilated, but it was basically impossible to see the situation outside.

"It's right here. It can accommodate four people if squeezed together. It happens that there are two people outside who take turns guarding the fire."

"Alright, it's getting late, let's start a fire quickly, the owner of Diwozi still left a lot of firewood? That's great, use it as needed, and make up for him when we leave."

A fire was built to boil water for cooking, and one piece of pork was just roasted, and the day after dinner was completely dark.

There were no stars, and the sky was overcast as if it was about to snow.

After eating, Wang Yuan sat on a tree stump, cleaning his rifle while warming himself by the fire:
"Everyone is very tired these two days, and the dogs are a little bit overwhelmed. Tomorrow, take a day off and check the surroundings. It doesn't matter if you can hunt prey or not. The main thing is self-cultivation. The day after tomorrow, we will start directly Dry!"

"Okay, just do as Xiaoyuan said!"

On the first night, Wang Yuan and Wang Hu stayed in the first half of the night, and Wu Qian and Liu Hui stayed in the second half of the night, so after the others all went to sleep in the diwozi, only Wang Yuan, Wang Hu and a group of dogs were left beside the fire. They are gone.

"Brother Yuan, I'm so sleepy, I'll squint for a while and call me if something happens."

Wang Hu's head moved bit by bit, and tears flowed out as he yawned.

"You bastard...Okay, you go to sleep."

There are a few dogs lying on Wang Yuan’s left side, and several dogs lying on his right side. These furry children are not afraid even in the deserted forest. Sometimes dogs are much more reliable than people, which is very good. helper.

One person adds firewood, boils water, walks the dog... When he raised his wrist and saw that it was already 12:30 in the night, he slapped the staring Wang Hu and Wu Qian and Liu Hui to change shifts.

"Phew~ Tomorrow is another beautiful day."

Wang Yuan took off his cotton jacket, cotton trousers and cotton boots, wrapped himself in the wolf fur blanket that Li Yan sewed for him, and went to sleep. The crowded nest was quite warm. Of course, it would be even better if Zhuzi didn't snore.

Just fell asleep in a daze, but a roar woke Wang Yuan up instantly.

"Ow~"

"What the hell!? Tiger!" Wang Yuan grasped the rifle in an instant.
