Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 373 Two Black Blind Men
"Go away, wait until we get home, and I'll give you some bones to chew on."

Sheng Xiping waved his hand and drove the dogs away to prevent them from tearing into the deer meat.

"Brother, we buried a total of four salt bricks before. Why don't we go to those places?" Sheng Xian reminded his brother.

At that time, Sheng Xiping and his brothers built several salt nests in this mountain forest, and now this is the only one.

Sheng Xi'an meant to quickly go to other places and have a look. What if a deer was ambushed?

"Well, let's go all the way from here. It'd be best if there are still deer that are caught. If not, we'll use all the deer to avoid accidentally injuring anything."

The alkali field brigade and the forestry farm all raise a lot of sheep.

There is not much feed at this time of spring, so people at the feedlot usually drive the sheep into the mountains and let the sheep eat grass and twigs.

By catching the feet, you can catch deer, roe deer, sheep and other artiodactyl animals. If the roe deer steps on it, that's all. But if it is a sheep raised by someone else, it will be difficult to handle.

Therefore, Sheng Xiping said that if the deer is not caught, all the deer will be picked up.

"What should we do with this deer?" Sheng Xi'an glanced at the deer on the ground and asked.

"It's okay, just leave it here. Even if someone passes by and sees it, they will know that it belongs to the owner."

Mountain roe deer and wild deer are available to those who see them, but they cannot be taken away entirely.

Even if someone goes into the mountain and sees it, they will at most cut it off in half and take it away, leaving a large piece of it somewhere.

Sheng Xiping had picked off all the most valuable things on the deer, so there was no need to worry about the remaining meat.

"Oh, okay, let's go then."

Sheng Xi'an nodded, put his gun on his back, and followed Sheng Xiping. The three brothers led the reluctant dog towards the other side of the hillside.

At that time, Sheng Xiping and the others buried four salt bricks on this hillside, more than a dozen of them, just to match the probability. If they encountered a herd of deer, they would gain something if they didn't keep them all.

Of course, these four salt nests are quite far apart.

Sheng Xiping led his brother and the dog from west to east, and found two more, but found nothing.

One of the salt nests was gnawed, and the deer's hoof prints were just a little bit close to catching its feet. The other salt nest was not moved, so it was obvious that the deer had not passed through.

The three brothers could only dig out the claws and salt bricks, put them in sacks, and continue searching.

"We have a lot of work to do, so we won't be able to catch deer in a salt nest, right?" Sheng Xikang muttered as he walked.

"Isn't it enough to just have one? That pair of deer antlers alone can be sold for several hundred dollars. Let's just spend some time and salt. Isn't it enough to get a few hundred dollars?"

Sheng Xiping laughed when he heard this. The third child was still young and spoke in a childlike manner.

"There's another one ahead. If I don't keep it all, what's the gain?"

Facts have proved that Sheng Xiping's words are not necessarily accurate sometimes, and the last salt nest was fruitless.

Sheng Xian and Sheng Xikang seemed a little unwilling, but after thinking about it carefully, the elder brother made sense. One deer would be good, how much is too much?

Just like that, the three brothers picked up all the traps nearby, and then walked back the same way with the sacks on their backs.

Just when he passed the third salt nest, Erlang Shen suddenly sniffed and screamed towards the west. While shouting, he ran towards the west.

Hua Bao, Black General and other dogs followed Erlang Shen and ran away.

Sheng Xiping was shocked, what is going on?Is there something to the west? "Let's go and take a look."

The dogs raised by the Sheng family are very well-behaved. If they were not given venison just now, they would never bite again.

Therefore, Erlang Shen suddenly ran back, not to eat venison, but to find other prey.

At this time, at the first salt nest, two black blind men, one big and one small, were eating the dead deer on the ground.

This season, Heixiazi had just finished squatting and his stomach was empty.

And spring is not like autumn, there are so many wild fruits to fill his stomach, so the black blind man can only find some moss, insects or fish to barely fill his stomach.

Deer have a strong smell, and dead deer are the most attractive to black blind people.

The mother and son may have been foraging around before. The blind man's vision was poor, but his sense of smell was particularly sensitive, so when he smelled the smell of venison, he rushed over to feast on it.

However, as soon as the mother and son took a few bites, they heard a burst of dog barking from far to near.

If in normal times, if you heard a dog barking, the black blind man might have left.

But now that they had been hungry all winter and finally encountered delicious food, how could the black blind man be willing to throw down the meat on his lips and turn around and leave?

Therefore, the big black blind man turned his head and roared towards the dogs that were flying over in the distance. "throat."

The black blind man roared, his original intention was to scare the dogs and make them realize what they were doing and leave.

However, this move made Erlang Shen and other Gouzi furious.

Just now, Erlangshen and the others only ate some offal, not even a bite of the venison.

As a result, after being away for such a period of time, the meat they didn't catch was stolen and eaten?Is this a big deal?
The dogs barked angrily and ran towards the black blind man, one big and one small.

The dogs came closer and surrounded the two bears, barking wildly at them.

When the female bear saw a group of dogs surrounding her, she became angry and stopped eating the deer meat.

Pressing his two front paws on the ground, he stood upright, then raised his two palms to a position flush with his chest, and then roared again at the dogs.

This female bear probably weighed more than 300 kilograms when she was fattened in the fall.

Squatting in a tree hole this winter has consumed a lot of body fat, so now I only weigh about [-] pounds.

The Erlangshens are all experienced hunting dogs. They have seen and bitten bears much bigger than the bear in front of them. How can they still be afraid of this guy?
Erlangshen and other dogs surrounded the two bears and wandered around. After finding a suitable angle, he went up and bit the female bear on the back.

Heixiazi had rough skin and thick flesh, and had long hair on his body. Erlang Shen bit the bear on the buttocks, but could not cause much harm to the female bear. He only bit a mouthful of hair.

Of course, the bump on the back of her butt hurt, so the female bear got angry and turned around to take out Erlang Shen.

Erlangshen has been hunting for many years and has rich experience. He dodges with agility and avoids the attack of the bear's paw.

At this time, General Black and Fat Tiger also rushed towards the female bear, one on the left and the other on the right, and bit her thigh.

The little bear was about two years old and weighed about a hundred pounds. Seeing that his mother was being attacked by dogs, the little bear was about to pounce on Erlang Shen.

When the leopard saw it, he led the lucky and prosperous people and immediately surrounded the little bear.

Before the little bear could stand up, the leopard went up and took out the back door, causing the little bear to scream in pain.

The little bear turned back to catch the leopard, and Zhaocai and Wangfu also rushed forward. One dug out the soft flesh of the little bear's armpit, and the other bit the little bear's thigh.

The bite force of dogs is not as strong as that of cats, but the little bear has never been bitten in his whole life. The pain caused him to scream.

On the other side, the mother bear heard the scream of the cub, her eyes suddenly turned red, she slapped the black general away, and rushed towards the cub.

In her hurry, the female bear forgot that there was a wicked Erlang Shen behind her.

And Erlangshen did seize the opportunity. He went up and took out the female bear's crotch.

The bite from Erlang Shen was quite real. The mother bear uttered a cry of pain and did not bother to save the cub. She turned around and wanted to catch Erlang Shen.

Erlang Shen dodged, but Black General and Fat Tiger pounced on him again. The female bear stood up straight in anger, raised her big paw and wanted to give Black General a hit.

At this moment, the leopard took another bite out of the cub's hindquarters. The cub screamed in pain, which also affected the mother bear.

The female bear gave up attacking General Black and pounced in the direction of the cub.

Then Erlangshen, the wicked bitch, rushed up again and took a bite out of the female bear's crotch again.

The black blind man has long hair on his body and is covered with turpentine and gravel, so he has strong defense.

But the area on the back of the buttocks is all soft and tender, how can it withstand Erlang Shen's repeated bites?

At this time, the female bear felt a burning pain in her hindquarters and wanted to leave. The child was surrounded and could not escape.

Don't leave, these dogs are too difficult to deal with. If you continue, I'm afraid you'll suffer a loss.

However, this area is full of second-growth forests, and there are no very thick trees. The mother bear cannot find a suitable tree even if she wants to take her cubs up a tree.

In desperation, the mother bear continued to struggle with the dog and tried to get closer to the cub.

At this time, Sheng Xiping and his two younger brothers also chased after him.

They heard the roar of a bear in the distance just now. Sheng Xiping was worried that the blind bear would hurt the dog, so he rushed over with his two younger brothers.

"Brother, it's a black blind man, two black blind men. How can we deal with this?"

Just now I heard the cry of a big bear, and unexpectedly when I came closer, I saw two bears, one big and one small.

Sheng Xian and Sheng Xikang had never encountered such a situation before, and they were a little numb at the time.

When Sheng Xiping saw the situation in front of him, he was stunned for a moment. How could it be such a coincidence that he met a female bear with her cubs?

"It's okay. Our dog has not been defeated yet. Let's look for an opportunity to shoot and hit the black blind man."

Now was not the time to get entangled. Sheng Xiping quickly picked up the gun, pulled down the bolt, and slowly walked forward with the gun, looking for a suitable shooting angle as he walked.

The fighting power of bears far exceeds that of wild boars. Even this little bear weighing about [-] pounds did not fall behind when attacked by three dogs.

Especially since the little bear has been entangled with the dog for a long time, he found that except for the flowers and that dog was more difficult to deal with, the other two dogs only had that little ability.

The little bear imitated the mother bear's appearance, standing upright and holding his palms to protect his chest.

In this way, the leopard couldn't dig out the crotch and hurt it. The two dogs, Zhaocai and Wangfu, pounced on it, but the little bear easily pushed it away.

Fortunately, the bear is still small and not that strong. Even if it gives him a claw to attract wealth and fortune, it will only break the fur at most.

Even so, Zhaocai and Wangfu's offensive was not so fierce. They saw that the bears, one big and one small, were getting close to each other.

Just when the little bear pushed away the fortune and fortune and turned around to deal with the leopard, Sheng Xiping pulled the trigger.

There was a gunshot, and the bullet passed through the bear's shoulder diagonally. The bear screamed in pain, unable to maintain its upright position anymore, and fell to the ground with its forepaws.

Hua Leopard and Wangfu took advantage of the opportunity and pounced on him to bite him.

This shot failed to kill the cub, but it made the mother bear furious.

The female bear quickly slapped away the fat tiger biting her thigh, and rushed towards the direction of the gunshot.

Good dogs protect their owners. When General Hei and Erlang Shen saw the female bear rushing toward Sheng Xiping, the two dogs rushed up and bit the female bear's hind legs regardless of their injuries.

The two dogs pulled back desperately, trying to stop the female bear from attacking Sheng Xiping, but they had been fighting with the female bear for such a long time, and their bodies were injured and their physical strength was also exhausted.

The two were in a stalemate for a while, and then the mother bear broke away from the two dogs.

The female bear threw away General Hei and Erlang Shen and rushed toward Sheng Xiping quickly.

But Sheng Xiping was calmly holding the gun, aiming at the female bear and pulling the trigger.

This shot hit the female bear's head just in time. The female bear's running momentum stopped, her huge body fell forward, twitched twice, and stopped moving.

The little bear who was shot over there struggled to get away from the leopard and Wangfu after the mother bear was shot.

Unexpectedly, the three dogs that were originally dealing with the female bear turned back and attacked the cub.

Six dogs are not small in size, and Erlangshen and Huabao are both capable of digging out the back door. The bear weighs more than a hundred pounds. After a long time, how can it be the opponent of the six dogs?
Sheng Xiping carefully came to the female bear with a gun and shot two more shots into the female bear's head. After confirming that the female bear was dead, she immediately whistled at the dogs.

The dogs had followed Sheng Xiping up the mountain for so long, and they had a tacit understanding. They knew immediately that their master was telling them to stay away.

As a result, the six dogs all released their mouths and retreated. Sheng Xiping also took the opportunity to shoot twice at the little bear.

The little bear fell down at the sound, and the dogs rushed to bite him again, but the little bear remained motionless.

"Second and third brother, come here and help."

Sheng Xiping said hello, then took out the short knife on his leggings, turned the female bear over and disemboweled it, took out the bear's bile, and hung the internal organs on a nearby tree.

Dogs don't eat Heixiazi's internal organs, and some dogs even don't eat Heixiazi's meat, so Sheng Xiping kept the offal to worship the mountain god.Taking out the bile of the mother bear, Sheng Xiping walked towards the cub.

When the dogs saw Sheng Xiping, they all moved out of the way. Sheng Xiping stepped forward, turned the bear over, and opened up the bear's bile.

After that, Sheng Xiping checked the dogs' injuries one by one. They were okay. Most of them were skin injuries and did not need bandaging.

"Second brother, cut the meat from that female bear and feed it to the dogs."

The dogs had a fierce fight with the two bears, which consumed a lot of their energy, so they had to be fed well.

There were two bears in front of me, and there was a deer on the other side. The weather was hot at this time, so I couldn't hold so much meat. It was better to give the dog more than to waste it.

Sheng Xi'an responded, took out a short knife and started cutting meat to feed the dogs.

After a fierce battle, the dogs were all very tired. They lay on the ground one by one, with their mouths open and their tongues sticking out, and they were panting heavily.

Sheng Xi'an fed the dogs, while Sheng Xiping cut down a few trees and made a simple sledge.

After Sheng Xi'an had fed the dog, the three brothers worked together to lift the deer and the bear onto the sledge and tied them up with ropes.

"Let's eat something and take a rest. We still have more than 20 miles to go back. We can't do it without anything in our stomach."

Although it was not yet noon, there had been a lot of busy work this morning. We had eaten early in the morning, and the three brothers were all tired and hungry.

If he didn't go back without having something to eat, he would probably be so hungry that his legs would be weak before he got home.

Sheng Xiping and the others brought pancakes, pickles, and scallions. The weather was warm and there was no need to build a fire. They just sat on the floor, each took out the pancakes, rolled them with scallions and pickles, took a big bite and chewed them slowly.

Young people have good teeth and the pancakes taste better the more they chew.

After the three brothers had eaten enough and had enough rest, they got up and dragged the sledge back.

While walking, Sheng Xiping suddenly remembered that there was not much food to eat at home, so he might as well pick up some celery leaves and go back. There was meat, so it would be good to make some steamed buns.

There are a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains, and they can be seen everywhere.

On May 20th, the big leaf cinnamon is already over half a foot tall, so it’s a good time.

The three brothers didn't care so much, so they gathered a few handfuls of large leaf celery around, randomly found a bundle of bark, threw it into a sack, and then continued to drag the sledge back.

This time of year is not like winter, the ground is covered with ice and snow, and the sledge is easy to drag.

At this time, there are dead branches, wormwood, stone roots on the ground, and it is very laborious to drag them.

By the time the three brothers came out from the back mountain, it was almost two o'clock.As soon as the dogs entered the forest farm, they ran home without waiting for Sheng Xiping and the others.

The weather is nice, and many people are drying cow hair in the yard or on the roadside.

Seeing the three Sheng Xiping brothers dragging something over, several women gathered around them.

"Oh, what is this? Black blind man, and deer?

Tsk tsk, he must be a child of the old Sheng family, he is really capable.

At the end of the year, if nothing else, I eat a lot of meat and earn a lot of money. "

Everyone started talking, their voices filled with envy and a little bit of sourness.

"Hey? Second child, do you have a partner? How about I introduce you to someone?"

Suddenly, a woman stretched out her hand, pulled Sheng Xian and asked.

Sheng Xi'an was born in [-], so he is twenty years old this year. Ordinarily, he is at the age to find a partner.

However, this child is a bit introverted. He doesn't like to talk outside the bar, and he doesn't get close to any girl in the forest farm.

Hearing someone ask this, Sheng Xi'an blushed immediately, "What are you talking about? How old am I? No, I'm not in a hurry to find a partner."

This guy was so embarrassed that he stuttered a bit.

Sheng Xi'an's behavior made the group of wives laugh.

"Look at what you're saying, you're already twenty and you still haven't found a partner, when are you going to find one?
Did your eldest brother get engaged when he was twenty?There are so many good girls in our forest farm, what’s going on?Is there nothing you like?

If you fall in love with someone, tell your aunt and she will help you find a matchmaker.If our forest farm doesn't have it, I'll go find it for you elsewhere. "

The woman who spoke was named Wu, and she was a well-known matchmaker at Qianchuan Forest Farm.

This Aunt Wu is very good. She has a wide network of contacts. She has contacts with people from Shuguang, Kaifeng, Shengli, and Ma'anshan forest farms. Aunt Wu has facilitated the marriages of many young men in Qianchuan Forest Farm.

Originally, Aunt Wu was very optimistic about Sheng Xiping and wanted to introduce a partner to Sheng Xiping.

As a result, before she could open her mouth, Sheng Xiping found a partner and successfully married Zhou Qinglan. Aunt Wu didn't get a matchmaking gift from the Sheng family, so she was always thinking about it.

Finally, Sheng Xi'an got older and turned 20. Aunt Wu remembered again that she wanted to marry Sheng Xi'an.

"Auntie, this matter is not urgent. Wait until you are no longer busy. Then you can discuss it with my mother.

The three of us brothers were so tired after a day in the mountains that we really couldn't chat with my aunt and ladies anymore. "

Sheng Xiping smiled at everyone around him and hurriedly dragged the sledge back to his home with his two brothers.

The dog ran fast and got home first. When Zhang Shuzhen saw that her dog came back with wounds on its body and a bulging belly, she knew what the children must have encountered when they went up the mountain today.

Zhang Shuzhen was anxious, so she hurried out to take a look while Sheng Xinhua was still sleeping in the room.

As soon as I went out, I happened to see three sons dragging something unknown from the west end. Zhang Shuzhen hurriedly greeted them.

"Didn't you talk about walking around? What did you get back?" As she said this, Zhang Shuzhen glanced behind her son.

"Oh my god, why are there two black men here?"

No wonder the dogs were injured. The two black blind men were so difficult to deal with. If the dogs didn't tell them they were on the mountain, that would be good.

"Well, Capture trapped a deer. When we were walking elsewhere to capture the deer, these two blind bears went to steal the deer meat and just happened to meet Erlang Shen and the others when they came back.

After a lot of effort, I finally knocked down the two guys.This time just the deer antlers and bear bile should be able to sell for some money. "

Sheng Xiping simply told his mother what happened.

After hearing this, Zhang Shuzhen took a deep breath and said, "Thankfully, when you get up in the morning, your dad will ask you to bring the dog with you.

Otherwise, you will be in trouble today. "

Female bears with cubs are the most likely to hurt people. If one of them makes trouble, the three brothers Sheng Xiping will have to stay in the mountains.

"It's not as scary as you said? The three of us brought two guns."

Sheng Xiping laughed when he heard it. It was just a female bear. He had killed big brown bears before, so what was there to be afraid of?

Of course, hunting in the mountains is very dangerous, and no one knows what accidents may happen. Taking a dog with you is the right choice.

If there is a real danger, the dog can give early warning and can also sacrifice itself to protect its owner.

"Mom, we also gathered some celery. With all this meat, let's make some steamed buns to eat tomorrow?"

Sheng Xiping didn't want his mother to get entangled in these matters, so he changed the topic.

"Why are you waiting for tomorrow? I happened to be making noodles this noon.

Come on, let's go home quickly. You pack up the meat. I'll hurry up and pick the vegetables and chop the stuffing. We'll eat steamed buns tonight. "

During this time, there really wasn't anything delicious at home. Zhang Shuzhen was worried about cooking every day and didn't know what to do.

I originally planned to bake dough and steam pancakes, but now that there are vegetables and meat, I decided to steam steamed buns instead.

Just like that, my mother and I entered the yard, while Sheng Xiping and the three brothers were outside peeling off the skin and collecting the meat. Zhang Shuzhen quickly took the big leaf celery in the sack to the door of the house and picked out the grass leaves, branches and other debris inside.

No matter how careful the man worked, he couldn't be as careful as the woman. The three brothers just picked it up casually, with a lot of weeds or celery mixed in.

After Zhang Shuzhen carefully selected the celery, she put it into a basin and washed it with water.

Boil water in a pot, wait for the water to boil, pour the celery in and blanch it, then take it out and rinse it in cold water, squeeze it dry and chop the stuffing.

While stuffing was being chopped here, Sheng Xinhua, who was sleeping on the kang, woke up.

The little guy has grown up now and can slip out of the kang by himself.He didn't even put on shoes, so he just ran to the outhouse.

"grandmother."

Zhang Shuzhen looked back and thought, is this okay?He quickly carried his grandson back to the house, put on his shoes, and then led him to the yard to pee.

"Xinhua, why don't you play with your third uncle? Go and chop the stuffing. Let's make big buns to eat tonight, okay? Put more meat in them."

Zhang Shuzhen coaxed her grandson softly and asked him to find Sheng Xikang.

As soon as he heard Rourou, the little guy's eyes lit up, "Right right, seven."

"Yes, we eat meat at night, so don't make trouble for grandma. Let grandma go do her work."

Zhang Shuzhen ordered the child, turned back and went into the house to continue chopping stuffing.

Here, the three Sheng Xiping brothers have skinned the deer and bear and removed the bones.

As soon as the child woke up, Sheng Xiping asked his third son to lead Sheng Xinhua back to the house to play, while he cut the meat into large pieces and put it in a basin.

Then he packed up the deerskins and bearskins, turned them over and nailed them to the wooden planks of the barn, waiting for them to dry thoroughly before cooking them. He could keep them for his own use or give them away.

"Mom, this pot is venison, and these are bear meat. I've seen a lot of them, or I can send some to Uncle Wang and the others later."

The weather is hot at this time, and there is no refrigerator at home, so fresh meat cannot be stored.

Sheng Xiping meant that there was so much meat that he could not eat all at home, so he should simply give some away to avoid harming the food.

"Okay, just look at the arrangements. At this time, every household has nothing to eat and nothing to gain.

If this old meat should be given away, give it away.

They are helping us a lot, and we don’t have anything else to give to our family. If you have this skill, then just eat some of it. "

Zhang Shuzhen did not object.

Living at home is like this. No one can dig a well, open a door on the roof, and live alone in a single household without interacting with others.

The main reason why the Sheng family is so happy in the forest farm is that they are good people.

When someone in the forest farm has something big or small, Sheng Liancheng and his wife are always ready to help.

In the past two years, Sheng Xiping has gained something from hunting, and many people with whom he is close have benefited from it.

This is how people get along with each other. You respect me a foot, and I respect you a foot. We come and go, and the more we move around, the closer we get.

Zhang Shuzhen picked a few pieces of bear meat from the basin that were fat and thin, washed them several times in water, then cut them into thin slices, and then minced them into meat fillings.

Bear meat is relatively fat, so it is considered good at this time. In autumn and winter, bears scratch their fat and become even fatter.

There is no need to put too much oil in the meat fat, just add a little less to adjust the filling to make the meat filling stickier.

Add salt noodles, pepper noodles, soy sauce, monosodium glutamate and other seasonings into the meat filling.Chop the green onions from the garden into fine pieces and set them aside for now.

Zhang Shuzhen went to the back room and opened the curtain under the quilt.Under the curtain is the noodles that are made just at noon, mixed with corn flour and white flour.

There is no way, the monthly supply of white flour is small, the Sheng family has a large population, and there is not enough food to eat, so they have to add coarse grains to cope with it.

The warm water used to make the noodles was quite warm on the kang, so the noodles rose very quickly, and the basin was almost full.

So Zhang Shuzhen opened the quilt and curtain, took out the panel and put it on the kang, mixed a handful of thin noodles with some dough screwdriver, mixed it evenly, and spread it on the panel.

Zhang Shuzhen took a goose egg-sized piece of noodles from the basin, put it in a bowl, covered it with a plate, and placed it on the cabinet.

Those are the old noodles that have been left over, and in some places they are also called Mian Fei or Mian Yinzi.

There is not much yeast powder these days, so the dough is made from old dough saved by myself. The old dough must be preserved well, otherwise it will not be able to make dough next time.
