Chapter 365
I was busy all morning, but it seemed like I didn't do much, and the time passed by.

We had something to eat at noon, and then Wang Jianshe and several others came over. Sheng Xiping also packed up, carried a gun on his back, and set out to go up the mountain with various tools for removing the condom.

When going out, Sheng Xiping even looked at Erlangshen and several others.

Yesterday's fierce battle was very tiring, and the dogs were lying lazily in their dens today.

Even when he saw Sheng Xiping fully armed, he didn't see the dog in a hurry.

Sheng Xiping smiled and shook his head. Without saying anything, he led Wang Jianshe and others directly out.

We only went out at noon, so we definitely couldn't go too far, so the group headed towards the second branch line. There was the logging area in previous years, and now it was mostly second-crop forests.

Nowadays, forest resources are abundant, and there is plenty of firewood. No one who collects firewood can go to the mountains to dig up tree roots.

After those big trees were knocked down, the tree fence, that is, the roots of the trees, remained in place and no one destroyed them. Some of them would sprout branches again the next year.

These regenerated branches are relatively tender and have large leaves, which are the favorites of roe deer and deer.

In winter, the land is covered with heavy snow, and moss, lichen, and other things cannot be eaten under the snow. Roe deer and deer can only come to the second-crop forest to nibble on the young branches.

Sheng Xiping originally wanted to find a suitable forest, set up some traps, lay a few traps, whether they were deer or roe deer, and just keep a few for the New Year.

As a result, as soon as she walked into a second-crop forest, Sheng Xiping found the footprints left by the roe deer on the snow, and they were new.

Six or seven roe deer must have passed by here not long ago.

"Come this way, let's follow the footprints and take a look."

Sheng Xiping looked up at the surrounding mountain topography and made a rough judgment in his mind, so he took Wang Jianshe and others to follow the footprints.

"Be careful and don't make too much noise. Roe deer have very good hearing."

Roe deer are alert by nature and have good hearing. If there is any disturbance, they will be startled.

Several people followed the roe deer's footsteps and followed them carefully.

On the way, we also saw traces of roe deer stopping and nibbling on young branches. It was probably that the group of roe deer moved forward after they were full.

Everyone was very patient and just followed the footsteps until they walked out of this second-growth forest.

In front of it is a large natural forest of red pine trees, which were specially left behind during the original logging.

The mother forest has not been logged, and the vegetation in the forest is lush. This kind of place is suitable for animals to rest and take a rest.

"I estimate that those roe deer are in this forest. They will definitely find a place to lie down and rest when they are full." Sheng Xiping pointed to the large red pine forest in front of him and said.

“This forest is a bit big, and there are two mountain passes above it.

Jianshe, you and Haining, you two go up this way and guard the east pass.Weiguo, you and Zhijun go to the other side and defend it.

No matter which way the roe deer is running, if you see it, shoot it. "Sheng Xiping took a look at the surrounding terrain and immediately made arrangements for the division of labor.

Fortunately, they had more people, so they could share more. If they had fewer people, today's battle would have been difficult.

"Check your watch. I think you will be almost at the top of the mountain in 10 minutes. Then I will drive up from here."

Sheng Xiping, Wang Jianshe, and Chen Weiguo all raised their wrists, checked their watches, and confirmed that the time was consistent. Then they separated the two groups and walked to the top of the mountain.

Sheng Xiping, on the other hand, took Pan Fusheng and Sheng Xi'an to rest on the spot for a while. Then they slowed down and followed the roe deer's footsteps towards the mother forest.

After walking for about ten minutes, Sheng Xiping stopped, raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was almost time, and the two groups should be able to reach the designated location.

Sheng Xiping was about to speak when suddenly there were some unusual sounds coming from in front of him, a bit like someone eating, a crunching sound.

Although the sound was very soft, Sheng Xiping had excellent hearing and immediately became cautious and looked forward along the direction of the sound.

Just over 30 meters to the left of Sheng Xiping and the others, there was a very dense bush with several branches shaking violently.

As soon as Sheng Xiping took a look, he knew there was something going on behind the bushes, so he immediately pulled the bolt of the gun and looked back at Sheng Xi'an and Pan Fusheng, not allowing them to make any sound.

Sheng Xi'an and Pan Fusheng followed Sheng Xiping into the mountains not once or twice, and they had a tacit understanding with each other.

When he saw this, he knew something was going on, so he nodded silently towards Sheng Xiping.

Sheng Xiping turned around and looked at the bush attentively while breathing as slowly as possible.

This forest has never been logged or cleared. The vegetation is so lush that Sheng Xiping cannot see clearly what is behind it through the bushes.

So, he picked up the gun, put the butt of the gun on his shoulder, and kept his eyes on the bush.

Just when Sheng Xiping took five or six steps forward, a gray head stuck out from the bushes.

The guy has a round head and two tufts of long black hair on his ears, which look like antennas.

The hair on this guy's chest was red, stained by blood, and even his nose was stained with some blood.

A pair of round yellow eyes were looking at Sheng Xiping with a fierce light.

Mountain raccoon, a mountain raccoon eating.

This guy didn't know that it was a hunter who disturbed its feeding, so he probably thought it was some kind of animal.

So the moment it stretched out its head, it also enlarged its mouth and roared at Sheng Xiping, full of intimidation.

However, when it discovered that the person coming from the other side was not another animal, but a hunter with a gun raised, almost instantly, the guy arched his body and was about to run away.

With Sheng Xiping here, can he still let it run away?

Before Shanlizi jumped up, there was a bang and everything was over. Shanlizi's head was smashed and he fell to the ground.

"I didn't expect that there was an unexpected harvest. The mountain raccoons are quite thick this year." Sheng Xiping stepped forward, kicked the dead mountain raccoons on the ground, and muttered.

"Brother Xiping, you are so powerful. You can kill a mountain raccoon with one shot. This thing is not easy to mess with, the three kings."

Pan Fusheng and Sheng Xi'an hurried over, looked at the mountain raccoons on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh.

"What a coincidence, it doesn't know what it's eating. Let's go over and have a look."

Sheng Xiping was also very curious, wondering what the mountain raccoon was eating just now while hiding in the bushes.

So he stepped forward in two steps and pushed aside the bushes to check.

Behind the bushes, I saw several animal body parts scattered in a pool of blood. The meat and internal organs on the body had been almost eaten clean.

Only a few hooves were left, and a roe deer head with eyes open, looking aimlessly at the sky.

Looking at the size of the roe deer's head, Sheng Xiping could deduce that the roe deer only weighed about twenty pounds and should be a cub.

It is estimated that when the group of roe deer passed by here just now, they were attacked by the mountain lizard who was squatting in the grass in advance. The big roe deer ran away, but the little roe deer could not escape and was poisoned by the mountain lizard.

"Damn it, I've had enough trouble today to gain anything again." Sheng Xiping suddenly remembered something, quickly picked up his gun and fired two shots into the air.

"Brother, what happened?" Sheng Xi'an asked in confusion when she saw her elder brother shooting.

"Just now, a group of roe deer passed by here and were attacked by the mountain lizard. One young roe deer did not escape and was caught and eaten by the mountain lizard.

Those big roe deer were frightened and they might run away somewhere.The roe deer probably ran away before Jian Jian and the others reached the top of the mountain. "Sheng Xiping sighed. Today's battle was probably destroyed by Shan Lizi.

"Let's go, go ahead and take a look. It's best to find the traces of the roe deer. If you can't find them, there's nothing you can do. We've joined Jianshe and the others. Let's go and set the trap elsewhere."

Sheng Xiping shook his head and bent down to pick up Shan Lizi's body on the ground.

This guy is quite big, weighing almost forty or fifty pounds. Anyway, he has finally gained something, and today is not in vain.

The three of them followed the roe deer's footprints on the snow and walked up a short distance. The roe deer's footprints suddenly went down, walked 30 meters, and then turned back up.

Then, Sheng Xiping discovered a round grass pit, where Shan Lizi squatted and guarded the roe deer.

Originally, the well-fed roe deer wanted to find a place to lie down in the forest, but unexpectedly, it was attacked by the mountain roe deer who had been ambushing here in advance.

Afterwards, Shan Lizi took the little roe deer in his mouth and went behind the bush to enjoy the food.

There were a large mess of footprints around Shanlizi's ambush.

Perhaps, when the little roe deer was caught by the mountain roe deer, the big roe deer also thought about fighting the mountain roe deer to save the little roe deer, but it failed later.

Sheng Xiping walked around and found that the roe deer's tracks were heading towards the top of the mountain.

"Perhaps, there will still be a chance to build them."

Sheng Xiping raised his head and looked up the mountain, but he was in the dense woods and couldn't even see the top of the mountain.

At this time, I suddenly heard several gunshots in the distance.

Sheng Xiping was shocked. Hey, what happened to Weiguo?

After a few gunshots, the entire forest fell silent again. "You two drag Shanlizi down the mountain, and I'll go over and take a look."

Sheng Xiping put his gun on his back, gave Pan Fusheng and the others some instructions, and then walked quickly towards the mountain.

About half an hour later, Sheng Xiping arrived at the top of the mountain and saw Chen Weiguo and Zhang Zhijun sitting on the ground smoking.

In front of them, there were two large roe deer.

"Oh, that's good. I thought all these roe deer had run away."

Sheng Xiping was very happy. Two roe deer and one mountain raccoon could be harvested in the mountains today. "Wei Guo, your marksmanship is quite good."

"We had just arrived here when the gunfire rang out down there. Why did you shoot so quickly?"

Chen Weiguo felt strange. They had agreed that after 10 minutes, after Chen Weiguo, Wang Jianshe and the others had set up an ambush, Sheng Xiping would go into the forest to chase the roe deer. How could he shoot so quickly?

"Hey, don't mention it. We were stupidly chasing a roe deer, and our beard was cut off by a mountain raccoon."

Sheng Xiping told Chen Weiguo and the others about the meeting with Shanlizi just now.

"I estimate that the roe deer must have been running and then stopped to wait for its companions after being attacked by the mountain lizard, which caused a delay.

After hearing the gunfire, they were frightened and ran away. If it hadn't been like this, they would have run away long ago. "

How about saying silly roe deer, silly roe deer?It's really stupid not to run quickly when you encounter danger.

Thanks to their stupidity, it was a blessing to Sheng Xiping and the others.

"Hey, what a fart, Benjiajiao, what a coincidence." When Chen Weiguo and Zhang Zhijun heard this, they both laughed.

"As soon as we arrived here, we heard gunshots below, and we quickly found a place to hide. After a while, we saw a group of roe deer running up.

I didn't dare to think too much and just shot. Unexpectedly, I was very lucky today. I killed two of them in a row and the rest ran away. "

Chen Weiguo happened to finish smoking, threw the butt of the cigarette on the ground, and stepped on it twice with his foot.

No matter what you say, today's harvest is good. Chen Weiguo and the others have already disemboweled these two roe deer.

So the three of them dragged the roe deer down the mountain.

On the other side, Wang Jianshe and Gao Haining, who were hiding in another place, heard gunshots fired from below and from the opposite side. It was estimated that the roe deer went that way.

The two waited here for a while, but there was still no movement. The two went down the mountain with guns on their backs.

Finally, everyone met at the junction of the second crop forest and the mother forest at the foot of the mountain, where they separated before.

"Hey, why is there a mountain raccoon here?"

Wang Jianshe and Gao Haining looked at it and were very puzzled, weren't they rushing to fight the roe deer?Why did you meet Shanlizi now?

Sheng Xiping told Wang Jianshe and the others what had happened before, and Wang Jianshe was also amazed after hearing this.

Going hunting in the mountains is inherently full of unknowns and you can encounter any situation.

Today's harvest was good, and everyone was quite satisfied. Plus it was almost time, so we simply went down the mountain and headed back.

On the way back, Sheng Xiping found a few more places to place condoms. Anyway, it was just an easy thing to do. It was best to be able to trap, and it didn't matter if he couldn't get it out.

Following yesterday's lesson, everyone went down the mountain early to go home today. After returning, they skinned the roe deer and mountain civet, and divided the meat among each family.

Wang Jianshe and the others were too embarrassed to eat at Sheng's house today. They only chatted for a short while and then went home with their meat.

On the morning of the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, Sheng Xiping and the others went for a walk in the mountains again and found a few hares, pheasants and the like.

At this point, the hunting activities a year ago have come to an end for the time being.

While Sheng Xiping and the others were busy hunting in the mountains these days, the rest of the family was also busy.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, everyone has a lot of work to do.

How do you say a jingle? 23 sticky melons, 24 sweep the house, 25 paste the windows, 26 buy meat, 27 slaughter the rooster, 28 make dough, 29 steam buns, stay up all night at [-], twist and turn on New Year's Day.

Although customs vary from place to place, and what you need to do in the past few days before New Year's Eve is also different. However, in these days before New Year's Eve, you should at least clean up your home, prepare various foods in advance, steam buns and cook meat.

For example, when the Sheng family lived in the old house before, the old house had yellow mud walls. In order to look good, it had to be covered with sheds, walls, etc.

The new house is made of bricks and tiles, and the walls are white. There is no need to paste the walls, just sweep the dust everywhere.

Living in a bungalow is different from living in a building. Fires are burning all day long and there is so much smoke and ashes. No matter how clean a house is, there is still dust accumulated in every corner.

Therefore, Zhang Shuzhen asked Sheng Xikang to take a new broom and sweep the dust all over the house.

Then Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei carefully wiped everything on the kangqin and standing cabinets with rags.

Even the picture frames on the wall had to be taken off, wiped carefully, and then hung up again.

After cleaning the east and west rooms, all the washed and dried curtains, curtains, and door curtains were hung up.

Next, it was the outhouse, especially the kitchen, where all the pots, pans, pots and other items were taken out and scrubbed.

In these days, there were no cleaning products such as dish soap. Most of the dishes were washed with baking soda, also known as dough starter.

Grab some pasta starter and rub the inside and outside of the bowl and plate. After wiping them clean, rinse them twice with water and that's pretty much it.
