Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 104
On the second day, Gao Mingcheng was still unable to go hunting in the mountains, because the carpenter he invited was coming to measure the size of the house.

Gao Mingcheng only built three houses, and only one floor, so after laying the foundation, he called some villagers to help, and soon the four walls of the house were built, although it will take some time before the beams and tiles are covered. , but I can already measure the size and start making furniture.

The master carpenter invited people from Junling. The father and son came together. Accompanied by Gao Mingcheng, they began to measure the size of the house, and then calculated the required wood to Gao Mingcheng so that Gao Mingcheng could prepare it.

Gao Mingcheng had already cut down the cedar trees in advance, but he hadn't carried all of them down the mountain yet, so he nodded in agreement, planning to go into the mountain to carry them later.

After seeing off the carpenter, Gao Mingcheng went into the mountain.

He went straight to the place where the trees were cut, and first checked the degree of shade and dryness of the trees. Some of the trees in this mountain were cut before going to the medicine fair, and some were cut after returning. not enough.

Gao Mingcheng let these trees stay in the mountain to dry in the shade, and only cut off the branches of the trees that had been dried in the shade, trimmed the length, and carried them down the mountain little by little.

He didn't carry it directly to the foot of the mountain to pile it up, but hid it in a place closer to the foot of the mountain, and waited until it was dark and no one was there before carrying it down.

Now there are few people in their village who can build houses. If you go to the mountains and cut some trees, the people in the village and the brigade can turn a blind eye to them. to expose you.

Because in theory, except for the mountain land allocated to you, other trees belong to the state, and private individuals cannot cut them down at will.

What's more, Gao Mingcheng cuts all Chinese fir, and Chinese fir is much more expensive than miscellaneous wood.

So on this day, Gao Mingcheng was carrying trees in the mountains, and checked the situation of the beehives by the way. The honeys had already settled in the beehives, and some honey could be seen, but not much.

Although there are different flowers blooming in the mountains all year round, there are much fewer plants that bloom in winter.

He has carefully observed that the most blooming flowers in winter are camellias, loquats, and Chinese vetch.

When there are not many nectar sources, the honey produced by the bees also needs to be consumed by themselves.

In addition to observing the situation of the beehives, Gao Mingcheng also observed the movements of the wild boars, because if he was going to hunt next, his first choice would be wild boars.

Wild boars are big, and if one is beaten, it will be enough to eat for a long time.

Now that the weather is cold and the meat has been put away, even if it is not sold, it can be salted and dried, and then eaten slowly.

After some observation, he found that the wild boars that were running around all over the mountain before had settled down now!
In the deep mountains of Niuwei Ridge, there is a large oak forest. The oak trees will grow many acorns, and the acorns are the staple food of wild boars in winter.

Therefore, every winter, the wild boars will settle in the oak forest, and they will either lie down and sleep or look for acorns to eat every day.

And if the herd of wild boars is too large, or if the acorn production is reduced, some wild boars will starve to death in winter. Of course, these wild boars who are crazy hungry will go down the mountain to steal vegetables in winter.

The industrious villagers reclaimed wasteland at the foot of the mountain, and then planted cabbage, radish, spinach, raw onion, garlic, rapeseed, etc. If the weather is good, they will naturally gain something, but if they are targeted by wild boars, then Maybe the grains are gone.

Wild boars are often found in a family group, and what these wild boars eat may not be as much as they spoil!
In later generations, Gao Mingcheng knew that some villagers would place a power grid on the only way at the foot of the mountain. When the wild boar rushed down the mountain, it would touch the power grid and be injured by electricity.

And at this time, that person will definitely raise a dog. When the dog hears the sound, it will bark and rush up. At this time, the villagers who arranged all this will also rush up. The wild boar took it down.

This method is called waiting for the rabbit, which is efficient and not tiring.

On this day, Gao Mingcheng found out everything about the situation in the mountains, and he was also thinking about how to kill a fat wild boar in his mind!

He now has a blunderbuss, a javelin, and a military dagger, and his weapons and equipment are almost ready.

All that's missing is a hound!
Gao Mingcheng was thinking about hunting dogs in his mind, but when he got off the mountain, he saw a majestic wolfhound!

The wolf dog was tied by a rope and squatted on the grass. Beside the wolf dog, there were two people standing, one was Huang Dazhi, and the other Gao Mingcheng didn't know him.

"Dazhi, why are you here when you're free?" Gao Mingcheng greeted with a smile.

Huang Dazhi's family has a small labor force, so he basically works in the field at home, and rarely visits here.

Huang Dazhi also smiled and said, "There's nothing going on in the field now, so I'll come here for a walk. I heard that you're building a house, so I'm free to come and see it today."

"Oh, by the way, I heard that you wanted to find a hound, did you find it?"

Gao Mingcheng shook his head, saying that he didn't find it, and then looked down at the wolfhound. He had roughly guessed Huang Dazhi's purpose in his heart.

So this time he looked at the wolf dog more carefully.

The wolf dog noticed his scrutinizing gaze, and immediately stood up from the ground, barking at Gao Mingcheng's grinning dog, with a loud voice and a fierce temperament.

It weighs about fifty kilograms, with black hair all over its body, and the hair on its back is very shiny. It should be smooth to the touch, as if it has been oiled.

The eyes are dark, the eyes are fierce, the ears are pricked up, and they are full of hostility towards Gao Mingcheng.

"Dahei." The middle-aged man who was holding the rope pulled the rope a little uneasy, ordering the wolfdog to be quiet.

The wolfdog stopped barking, but still stared at Gao Mingcheng vigilantly.

Huang Dazhi introduced the man to Gao Mingcheng, and said: "He is from Kengli Village. Recently his son got sick and asked for money to go to the hospital, so he ran to Junling with the dog and asked if someone wanted to buy a dog. Not today. On market day, his dog naturally didn't sell, I thought you came to the market to look for dogs before, so I brought him here to look for you."

Huang Dazhi was very enthusiastic, and said: "His son should have polio. I heard that as long as he goes to the hospital in time, he can be cured! Mingcheng, take a look at this dog. If it is suitable, I will buy it." Bar!"

His younger brother was slightly paralyzed because of polio, and his life was ruined!
At that time, the family was poor, and his parents valued money very much, so they didn't take him to the hospital in time, and when the condition became serious, it was too late.

So when Huang Dazhi heard that the other party's son might be suffering from polio, he immediately tried to sell this wolfhound to Gao Mingcheng even more actively than that person.

He knew that Gao Mingcheng needed dogs and had money.

So the probability of this dog being sold is still very high.

Under the expectant eyes of the two, Gao Mingcheng also made a decision.

"Okay, tell me a price, I'll buy it!" This dog is indeed good, after training, it will be no problem to be used as a hunting dog.

Of course, if the training is not good, he will eat delicious dog meat!
