My village can't be like this

Chapter 286 The First Night

Coming out of the camp, Zhang Ping took the lead and led the way up the mountain.

The forest farm in the Changqing Brigade is not small, and it was a lucky coincidence when it was divided back then.

So in these years, no one in the village has ever heard of the need to spend money to buy wood when building a house or making furniture. They cut it in advance by themselves.

Came to the woods and found a higher place.

Looking into the distance, you can see the ups and downs, the forest sea with many mountains and mountains.

In fact, many mountains in the Wumeng Mountains seem to be independent peaks.

But in fact, all the mountains in the vicinity are next to each other, and they are all connected.

Moreover, these mountains all run from east to west and from south to north, and each one is taller and larger than the other.

After entering the woods, Zhang Ping took everyone to several nearby places to check.

These places have one thing in common, all of them are relatively close to the main road.

As long as someone illegally fells, it will be transported down the mountain from here. Of course, it will be carried down by people.

And the main road is naturally the mountain road that Zhang An and the others came from.

Although this road is rough, it is still a road.

If you go to other places, even if you are empty-handed, you have to stop the fire after drilling in the woods for a while.

After inspecting several places, there was nothing abnormal, and there were still some places to visit, but because the road was not on the way, Zhang Ping planned to go again tomorrow.

Now, it's time to go for a walk in the mountains, Chen Ze and Ding Yi followed, we can't let them go for nothing.

And the group of dogs behind him was supposed to be brought here to let go of their temper, so they must find something to vent their anger on.

Otherwise, it would be better to just stay at home after walking around like this for two times.

"Okay, let's go into the mountains, Second Master, the next thing is to see you get old."

Hearing these words, Chen Ze and Ding Yi were shocked.

Huang Erye said nothing, nodded and led the way.

This time when they entered the mountain, Zhang An and Zhang Ping originally talked about seeing if they could catch one or two wild goats and wild deer.

But now, Chen Ze and Ding Yi have been waiting for so long, and they can't let them down.

Not to mention the big scenes, but there must be small fights.

Knowing what Zhang An and the others meant, Second Master Huang led everyone back with a nod and headed straight for the creek.

After walking through the woods for a long time, we returned to the creek.

After all, in such a forest, the most direct way to find the footprints of prey is to find the water source.

Because animals in the mountains need to replenish water.

So on the edge of the water source, you can see their footprints.

The large stream in front of us is the only source of water nearby.

As long as you look forward along the stream, you will definitely find traces of animal activities.

Because we brought two novices with us, everyone walked a little slower.

"Zhang An, why is Zhang Ping so far away from us?"

Ever since he started to move towards the depths, Zhang Ping has been carrying the guy at the end of the team.

"He is giving us a cut off."

"Because the view in the mountains is not good, you can never see clearly what is around you."

You are not allowed to walk, and suddenly there is something behind you.

Not to mention ferocious beasts like leopards and bears, even a lone wolf or a stray wild boar.

Coming out from behind, suddenly coming so suddenly, it would be miserable.

"Ah, there are still these things in the woods. I thought they were in the mountains in the distance."

"Whether there are or not, there is nothing wrong with being careful anyway. You see, the forest is so deep, and it's normal to have these beasts."

"To be honest, I have never seen a wolf except for the few guys with bones left in the provincial capital zoo. Do you think I can see them later?"

The wild boars Chen Ze and Ding Yi were not surprised, because they came here to watch the pig hunting last time.

The people in the village carried the killed wild boars one by one from the mountain back to the village to load the cars, and they sat and watched for a long time.

"Look at what that thing is for, but anyone who enters the mountain doesn't want to encounter those things."

Others avoid it, but this person is good, and he still wants to meet him.

"The blue wolves in the mountains around us are big and ruthless. They are the tyrants in the mountains."

Of course, if you are not ruthless, how can you stay in this mountain?

"That's not a bad idea. Every time the blue wolves are dispatched, there are quite a few of them, ranging from seven or eight to as many as ten or twenty."

"If we really encounter wolves, it's hard to say whether we can go out."

At this moment, the two of them realized that the wolves in the mountains were really different from the wolves in the zoo.

Walking along the stream, about three or four miles away, we came to a valley.

On the bank of the stream, we found many traces of animal activities.

Moreover, these hoof prints are still relatively fresh, probably left when they came to drink water in the morning.

"This is probably a place for nearby animals to drink water."

Among so many hoofprints, many have been trampled, but some of them can still tell who their owners are.

Inside, there was the wild goat that Zhang An and the others were looking for this time.

Just when everyone wanted to follow the direction of the hoof prints and go forward to find the traces of animals.

Zhang An suddenly heard a humming sound that was sometimes gentle and sometimes rapid.

After Zhang An determined the direction, he touched it quietly.

As for Huang Erye and the others, although they didn't hear any movement, they knew that there was something around Zhang An when they saw Zhang An like this.

So he followed Zhang An quietly and moved forward, and finally stopped in front of a few big rocks.

The distance is getting closer and closer, at this time everyone else has heard the sound.

Stretching out his head to look, he found a wild boar tens of meters away in front of him.

The physique is not big, only about 200 catties.

In fact, this is already a big adult wild boar, but Zhang An has seen many bigger than it, so he thinks it is really not that big.

Zhang An glanced around and saw no other wild boars, so he decided that this was a stray guy.

After all, the herd of wild boars in the mountains this year was all gathered together by the pig king.

In the end, most of the wild boars were blocked in the tiankeng by the armed forces and wiped out.

There are a lot of scattered single pigs left, wandering alone in this mountain forest.

Looking carefully, Zhang An found that this idiot was actually sleeping there.

It seemed that they were still sleeping soundly, and they were all snoring.

God knows how this guy grew up so big, sleeping in this kind of place, he is not afraid of being surrounded by wolves.

As expected of the second senior brother, he is truly fearless.

When Xiaohu found the wild boar, he unknowingly began to bend down and assume a fighting posture.

And the other big dogs, led by Xiaohu, also started to spread out, staring at the front.

But Zhang An took a look, and at such a serious moment, he suddenly burst out laughing.

Huang Erye and the others were all staring at him, worried that this guy would rush over suddenly.

But after hearing Zhang An's laughter, I couldn't see it strangely.

But seeing the direction of Zhang An's gaze, they also looked over.

But Huang Erye and the others didn't laugh out loud, probably because they had undergone strict training and held back.

Because in the dog group, Chen Ze's ball-shaped hunting dog also followed the other dogs, making a look of preparing for battle.

It's just that this posture, because it has a lot of flesh on its body, almost crushes it to the ground.

Feeling that everyone was looking at him, Zhang An quickly waved his hands.

I thought to myself, this smile is not a big deal, it probably wiped out all the merits of today.

At this time, the second senior brother who was still snoring just now woke up and stared at Zhang An and the others.

It may be that Zhang An laughed too loudly just now and woke it up.

And the second senior brother may dream that it is in love with Chang'e, dreaming a sweet dream.

But suddenly being woken up by someone, I felt a little uncomfortable, as if I was about to lose my temper.

Zhang An regretted it very much at this time. If he could apologize, he would definitely say to the second senior brother in front of him, I'm sorry, I laughed too loudly just now.

Looking at the pair of big fangs of the second senior brother, Chen Ze and Ding put the guy on the shelf.

When you are ready to wait for it to come over, give it a head-on shot.

But at this moment, the second senior brother suddenly rushed towards Zhang An and the others.

Ding Yi and Chen Ze wanted to make a move, but were held back by Zhang An.

Because Xiaohu had already rushed forward with the pack of dogs.

If you just shoot arrows like this, there will only be one wild boar on the opposite side, while there are so many big dogs on your side.

There is a high probability that the arrows shot will hit the friendly army, so it is not worth shooting.

The little tiger took the lead, and was about to face the wild boar hand to hand in the next moment.

Suddenly, the little tiger turned around, leaned to the left side of the wild boar, and at the same time opened his big mouth to bite on the wild boar's ear.

There was only a burst of screams of "Sue grandma, sue grandma", and the rushing wild boar was grabbed by Xiaohu forcefully.

But a wild boar is a wild boar after all, not the same as a domestic pig. Even if the ear is bitten by the enemy, it is still struggling desperately.

In order not to be resisted by the pig's teeth, Xiaohu dragged the wild boar and began to circle around.

At this time, the other big dogs had the opportunity to attack the wild boar.

It's just that it might be because the defense was too outrageous. For a while, the dogs couldn't break through the pigskin armor.

But the wild boar skin didn't stay on for too long, and the big dogs bit it bloody all over.

It may be the pain from his body that made the second senior brother start to get angry.

Struggling suddenly, the pig ear that Xiaohu was biting in his mouth broke instantly.

Breaking away from Xiaohu's restraint, the ruthless Second Senior Brother started ramming the big dogs.

The other dogs are not afraid, including Erqing, they can easily avoid it.

But the little fat man was not so lucky, it was slow to move.

Seeing the wild boar crashing into it, it couldn't dodge at all.

Seeing this, Chen Ze was going to rescue him, but he was too far away.

Just when he thought his dog was about to be bitten by a wild boar.

All of a sudden, he heard a "咻", and Chen Ze only saw a shadow flying out of his eyes.

Looking back, he found that the steel fork in Zhang An's hand had disappeared.

When he looked at the wild boar again, he found a steel fork inserted directly under the wild boar's neck.

Although the wild boar could not be forced to stop directly, the speed of the wild boar that was stabbed slowed down enough for the little fat man to dodge.

The wild boar, which was impaled by the steel fork, staggered for a distance and then staggered to the ground.

But as soon as it fell to the ground, it wanted to turn over again, and Zhang An strode out.

He pulled out the steel fork with one hand, swung it down again, and directly stuck the still-dead wild boar on the ground.

Now, even if it wasn't completely dead, the wild boar couldn't jump up anymore.

On the side, Chen Ze and Ding Yi looked at Zhang An dumbfounded.

Both Huang Erye and Zhang Ping have seen Zhang An's strength.

Seeing this scene today, I was just a little bit surprised, not surprised.

"It's not Zhang An, is it the legendary hidden master who has practiced peerless martial arts?"

"These are all fabricated in novels, do you believe them too?"

Looking at the fanatical eyes of the two, Zhang An gave them a white look.

"No, if you weren't a martial arts master hiding in the mountains, this wouldn't make any sense at all."

Seeing the two fell into fantasy, Zhang An shook his head and ignored them.

Because at this moment, Zhang Ping had already taken out his knife and started to deal with the wild boar on the ground.

This place happened to be not far from the water source. After seeing the internal organs dug out, several people worked together to lift the wild boar to the stream for cleaning.

Both the pig's head and the internal organs have to be thrown away, and it's useless to take them home.

And Huang Erye just cut off the wild boar belly, rinsed it in the water, wrapped it with leaves and put it in a snakeskin bag.

While Zhang Ping was cleaning up with Chen Ze and others, Zhang An took out a woodcutter and chopped down a small tree nearby that was as thick as a child's arm.

Although it is not dark yet, there is not much time left today, and it is no longer possible to go deeper.

Because it is very dangerous to continue walking through the woods after dark.

Even in winter, many beasts that do not hibernate still come out at night to look for food and drink.

So before it was dark, I had to turn around and head back to the camp.

As for the wild goat and wild deer, come back tomorrow and continue looking, it shouldn't be too far away.

Zhang An and the others didn't intend to take all the wild pork back.

After all, there are more than 100 catties here. Even if you eat today, you will not be able to finish it tomorrow, and it will be inconvenient to take it down the mountain.

Zhang Ping chose a place with better meat, leaving enough food for a few people and a few big dogs.

Put the rest in the woods, and see if there are any lucky guys who can pack a meal when they come out.

Back in the camp, Huang Erye was in charge of lighting the fire.

Zhang An and Zhang Ping took out the pheasants and hares caught at noon and cleaned them up.

The food tonight is relatively rich, you can roast chicken, roast rabbit and roast pork.

Then simmer in a pot of hot broth.

And just now in the woods, Zhang An picked up some wild vegetables that are also available in winter.

But most of them are Zhang An fishing in troubled waters and getting them out of the space.

It can be put in the pot later and boiled with the broth for a more delicious taste.

The camp is very open, and there is no need to worry about igniting other trees when burning a fire.

So at night, the fire pit burns bigger, illuminating the surrounding area brightly.

After a pot full of broth was boiled, everyone took the tree branches that Zhang An had chopped down, skewered what they wanted to eat, and started roasting on the fire.

Just when everyone was grilling the meat very seriously, they suddenly smelled a very fragrant smell.

Smell it carefully, huh?It smells like cumin powder and chili powder.

Looking up, he found that Zhang An was sprinkling cumin powder and chili powder on the roasted rabbit meat.

"No, you even bring this?"

Everyone couldn't help wondering, did this person come into the mountains for a picnic?
The person Huang Erye often went to the mountains, he just brought some salt.

Zhang An chuckled, and handed them the seasoning that had already been sprinkled in his hand.

After all, Chen Ze and Ding Yi didn't move their hands, and the meat in their hands was almost burnt while roasting.

When Huang Erye and Zhang Ping saw this, they took a piece of roast from them.

Let the two of them bake it by themselves, and then there will only be coke to eat.

Zhang An didn't hand over his hand. At this time, they could get acquainted with each other.

In Zhang An's eyes, several people are worthy of close friendship.

"This is the first time I've spent the night in the mountains. I didn't expect to be able to eat so well."

Looking at the fragrant roast rabbit, Ding Yi couldn't help but sigh.

But the hungry belly didn't make him sigh a few more words.

He blew on the hot rabbit leg, then tore off one and put it in his mouth to start gnawing.

Maybe the roasted rabbit is rather dry, and it's too comfortable to take a bite of the broth while eating.

In the end, except for Zhang An, no one else ate a whole rabbit.

Basically, half of them are left for the big dog next to them.

The program after dinner was for everyone to sit by the fire and listen to Mr. Huang telling stories about the past.

Whether it was Zhang An and Zhang Ping, or Chen Ze and Ding Yi, the young people listened very carefully.

In the past years, especially the mountain people, no one will write epics for them.

Therefore, Zhang An took this kind of historical transmission from word of mouth to heart seriously.

While listening to the story, Zhang An cut off a large piece of meat and roasted it.

Er Qing and the little fat man were full, but Zhang An was well aware of the food intake of his big dogs.

"Go and rest, I'll keep watch first, and I'll get someone up in the middle of the night to replace me."

At night, Chen Ze and Ding Yi both yawned.

It is estimated that they were exhausted during the day, after all, they had never exercised like this before.

When the few people heard this, they didn't feel hypocritical. They got into the tent, put on sleeping bags, and fell asleep in a short while.

As for Huang Erye and Zhang Ping, both of them brought overcoats, wrapped them directly around their bodies, and fell asleep one after another.

Zhang An sat by the fire pond and added some firewood to make the fire burn more vigorously.

In this way, even in a tent, it can be warmer.

Seeing no one around, several big dogs surrounded Zhang An by the fire pit.

In fact, there are cubs and they are there, so there is no need for people to keep vigil at night.

But if there is no one watching the night, Zhang An is worried that they will not sleep well. After all, this is a deep mountain and old forest.

However, Zhang An was not idle either. Although he was sitting by the firepit, his mind had already entered the space.

He picked a lot of medicinal materials that he hadn't collected before. Although they were said to be put in snakeskin bags, they had actually been secretly put into the space by him.

It happened to be free right now, so Zhang An planned to take stock of today's gains.

After half the rate, I heard voices coming from the tent.

Zhang An told Xiaohu and the others to keep vigil here. Zhang An walked to the side and entered the space.

There is a big tree here. If someone wakes up later and doesn't see him, he can find a reason to say that he went to release the water.

Entering the space, Zhang An took a shower, and then planted all the medicinal materials dug up today.
