hunting in 1986

Chapter 59

In 1986, many people had no awareness of protecting wild animals, nor could they imagine that future generations would protect wild animals.

Beside the fire, Wang Yuan sat on a piece of wood and ate meat skewers, thought for a while and said, "Okay, then let's kill wild boars!"

"Okay." Zhuzi showed joy on his face: "It's late today, let's go tomorrow!"

"After one night, the herd of wild boars won't disappear, will they?"

"Oh no, as long as no one is chasing them, the herd of wild boars won't run around recklessly."

It is indeed a great blessing to meet fellow villagers in the vast deep mountains and old forests.

There was still some time before dark, and the three of Zhuzi went directly to their den to get things, planning to live with the three brothers Wang Yuan tonight.

A dozen of their hunting dogs stayed here. After all, the dogs were very tired chasing their prey in the wind and snow. As long as time allowed, the dogs would be allowed to rest for a while.

Wang Yuan went to the river to dig ice to get water, and when he came back with a bucket of water, he happened to see Wang Hu playing with Zhuzi's dog.

"Brother! Uncle Zhuzi and his dogs are really good dogs. It would be great if they belonged to us."

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Stop playing with dogs, come chop wood and start a fire!"

"okay!"

Wang Hu reluctantly touched the dog's head again, and then started chopping wood with an axe. While his cousin Wang Meng was processing venison, bear meat and wild boar meat, several hounds lay at his feet, whistling. .

Soon after.

After the food was cooked in the iron pot, Zhuzhu, Dayan, and Laolan who went to get things also came back from the east, leaving their footprints on the thick snow.

"Look what we brought! Sticky bean buns!" Zhuzi laughed.

Big Eye held a small cloth bag and said, "I still have pine nuts and dried blueberries here."

"Huh? Why do you bring pine nuts and dried blueberries when you go into the mountains?"

The big-eyed and flirtatious did not speak, and the old man with a shotgun on his back and his hands in his hands said enviously: "His wife can love people, these things are all brought by his wife."

Instantly everyone else laughed.

The big eyes were a little embarrassed, and they wrestled with the old man directly, and the old man was laughing and laughing, so he was thrown on the snow by the big eyes.

The snow layer is very thick and it doesn't hurt to fall on it, it's just a joke.

Being in the cold old forest, hot water is very important. In fact, they can also burn snow to get water, but it is too slow, so they still choose to go to the small river to dig ice to get water.

The water in the creek is moving fast, and the ice is relatively thin.

But when Wang Yuan and the others took tools to fetch water again, Lao Ji accidentally stepped on a large piece of snow and collapsed it.

"Fuck!"

Lao Zhu only had time to yell, and fell down the slope with the snow, and with the floating snow, Lao Zhu disappeared.

"Quick! Save people!"

Throwing down the bucket, a few people threw off their arms and ran over quickly. After running down the slope for tens of meters, they found Lao Zhi, who was lying headlong—the upper body was stuck in the snow, and his legs were exposed. Outside straight up and down.

"Come on, let's pick him up!"

"one two Three!"

Kuchi~
Wang Yuan and Zhu Zi lifted one leg each, pulling out the old man like a carrot.

The latter's face was flushed from the cold, and there was a lot of crushed snow on his thick mustache. He quickly dug out his dog fur hat and put it on, cursing and looking up the slope.

"Why did the snow fall... eh?"

I saw a pine tree and some small shrubs on Banpo, and the pine tree grew horizontally outwards.

The snow had covered the pines and bent the bushes, making it look like flat ground, but it was empty inside.

"It's really bad luck, spit! Well, let's go." Lao Ji felt that he was embarrassed, his face flushed with embarrassment, he walked forward a few steps, and then turned back: "No, the small bucket I was carrying Woolen cloth?"

"Hahaha~"

The others burst out laughing instantly, feeling that the dazed old man was quite amusing.

Finally, he dug out the small bucket from the snowdrift, fetched water and returned to the nest.

Dinner was much richer than lunch. In addition to pork, bear meat, venison, sticky bean buns, fish soup, pickles, there were also dried blueberries brought by Big Eye's wife.

After feasting, and then doing Yangko around the fire, the cold wind seems not so cold under the lively atmosphere.

As the night deepens.

The few people who played around for a while sat back by the fire, chatted while warming up, and talked about some superstitious hunting stories, and the time passed quickly.

Wang Yuan took a sip of the steaming fish soup, which was fresh and spicy, but it was really fragrant, and then he ate another dried blueberry.

The sweet and sour taste of dried blueberries is not bad. In fact, old men generally don’t like to eat this stuff, and most of the whole dried blueberries are used as snacks for children at home.

Everyone is very poor in this era, and many families do not spend money to buy snacks for their children, but make them by themselves.

Eating dried blueberries, listening to the chattering of Wang Hu and Big Eye on the right, Wang Yuan raised his head slightly to look at the stars in the sky.

He misses his family a little bit, especially the little girl who always follows behind him like a little tail and calls "Second Brother, Second Brother", and of course the clingy big fat cat at home.

"The living conditions here are too poor and too cold, it's better to stay at home."

We chatted until nearly 10 o'clock at night, and everyone got into the small den. The dogs couldn't get in, so they could only sleep around the fire, which was quite warm beside the fire.

Lying in the nest, Wang Yuan had a pillar on his left and his cousin Wang Meng on his right. Although it was a little awkward to be crowded, he felt quite at ease.

"Many people are powerful, don't be afraid of troubles, sleep!"

Wang Yuan soon fell into a deep sleep.

In the early hours of the morning, Wang Yuan felt in a daze that the pillar next to him had left the diwozi.

The latter was afraid that the dogs would be frozen, so he lit up the half-dead fire, and then got into the nest and continued to sleep.

Early the next morning.

Just as Wang Yuan and the other 6 people were eating breakfast and preparing to hunt wild boars later, Wang Yuan's parents and little girl were also eating in Wangjiatun in the distance.

There were 6 people in the family when it was the busiest, but now there are only 3 people, and it seems much deserted.

"Mom, what did the second brother do?"

The little girl secretly fed the three puppies some sticky bean bag skins, and then said in a baby voice.

"Didn't I tell you that your second brother went hunting."

"Oh, when will he come back? I want to eat fried cakes." The little girl said whatever came to her mind, and every word was the most genuine thought in her heart.

Dad and Mom were stunned for a moment: "O_o??"

"Do you miss your second brother, or do you want to eat the fried cakes he bought? Haha~"

……

After breakfast, Wang Yuan and others set off.

Walking forward through the thick snow, in some places the snow is so thick that it can't reach the knees.
