Catch the Mountain 1985

Chapter 266 Tracking
After Liu Zhiyong and Zhang Peng came out of Miao Daqiang's house, they looked around the village. Fortunately, the village was not big and some traces were easy to see.
Just in the southeast corner of the village, they found the traces of the previous mountain raccoons. The two of them also walked along the traces towards the outside of the village. Slowly, they realized that something was not right. Why were there several traces? They were not walking alone. Coming out of the woods.
This was something the two of them did not expect. In their opinion, if the mountain raccoon was smarter, the worst he could do would be to attack the village from different directions after coming out of the woods. Normally, the mountain raccoon would Those who follow the old route will not change routes frequently.
"This guy's route is different every time he comes to the village. This is a bit interesting. This is because he is afraid that we will follow him by looking for his traces." Liu Zhiyong stood in the snow, and then panted and faced Zhang. Peng said.
"Why don't you say it's hard to deal with? This will give us a warning and let us know that it is not easy to mess with." Zhang Peng also gasped and said.
"Then what should we do? Just go back like this?" Liu Zhiyong said unwillingly.
"Go back, what else can we do? Today we just have to check the situation. Let's find a chance to fight it tomorrow." Zhang Peng looked at the woods in the distance, and then said to Liu Zhiyong.
After saying that, Zhang Peng and Liu Zhiyong walked back. It had been a long time since they came out. Miao Daqiang didn't know how well prepared he was at home.
Miao Daqiang said that he wanted to entertain them well, which made Zhang Peng and Liu Zhiyong speed up their pace to go back.
When he returned to Miao Daqiang's house, he opened the door and felt a rush of hot air.
Miao Daqiang, wearing an apron, was busy at the cooking pot in the outhouse. When he heard some movement behind him, he quickly turned to look at the door. When he saw it was Liu Zhiyong and Zhang Peng, he immediately smiled and said hello to come in quickly. The food would be ready soon. .
When Liu Zhiyong and Zhang Peng heard this, they also went to the east room. It seemed that the Kang table had been placed on the Kang long ago, and there were three sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table.
"This guy, my uncle is really good at work. Let's go out for such a long time. We are almost ready." Zhang Peng looked at the scene in front of him and turned to Liu Zhiyong and said.
"That's what I'm good about, uncle. He does things in a chirpy manner without any stains at all." Liu Zhiyong also replied with a smile.
At this time, Miao Daqiang also walked in with a plate of shredded meat. Seeing the two people still standing on the ground, he quickly greeted them.
"Go on the Kang, what are you waiting for? Zhiyong, hurry up and sit on the Kang with Xiaopeng, the food will be ready soon," Miao Daqiang said with a smile to the two of them.
"Well, what else? Uncle, let's go together. We can hurry up." Liu Zhiyong agreed but did not get on the kang. Instead, he turned around and walked to the outhouse, ready to help serve food and rice.
Zhang Peng didn't go to the kang either. It was just the three of them and there were no outsiders, so they went to the outhouse to help Miao Daqiang with his work.
After a while, the table on the Kang in the east room was filled with dishes, and Miao Daqiang led the two of them to sit cross-legged on the Kang.
There are quite a lot of dishes on the table, and Miao Daqiang’s sincerity can be seen. Shredded pork dipped in minced garlic, braised pork, dried potatoes and dried beans, stewed fish in soy sauce, green onions and radish dipped in pickles. These specifications are reasonable. It is already very good, and this is what most families only eat during the Chinese New Year.
Miao Daqiang took three small wine cups, placed them in front of the three of them, and then poured bulk sorghum wine into them.
"Zhiyong and Xiaopeng, I welcome you to come over. I don't have much education, so I can't say anything about the toast, so it's all in this glass of wine." Miao Daqiang raised the cup and faced the two of them. said.
"Okay, uncle, why are you so polite?" Liu Zhiyong said with a smile, Zhang Peng also echoed beside him.
Then Liu Zhiyong and Zhang Peng drank it all in one gulp. To be honest, this sorghum wine was very spicy, but it was made from pure grains. Even if you drink too much, you won’t have a headache the next day. This is also the so-called better wine than the blended wines of later generations. It tastes so much better.
Zhang Peng doesn't usually drink, but he can drink some in public situations. He is not that close to wine, and he doesn't even want to drink it.
The three of them were also changing cups. Zhang Peng was defeated first and lay down on the edge of the kang consciously and fell asleep. Miao Daqiang and Liu Zhiyong continued to drink. His drinking capacity is obviously much greater than that of Zhang Peng.
When Zhang Peng woke up the next morning, he found that he was covered with a quilt. Liu Zhiyong was lying next to him, but Miao Daqiang was not on the kang. It was probably Miao Daqiang who covered him. He sat up and woke up a little. After a while, he got off the kang and went to the outhouse.
As a result, Miao Daqiang was seen tidying up in the outer room, apparently making breakfast.
Miao Daqiang raised his head and saw Zhang Peng yawning and slowly walking out of the east room.
"Xiao Peng is up, how did you sleep?" Miao Daqiang straightened up and asked Zhang Peng with a smile.
"Uncle, you had a good sleep. This sleep was really comfortable." Zhang Peng also replied with a smile.
"Then it's a win. It doesn't matter to me." Miao Daqiang said with a smile.
At this time, Liu Zhiyong also walked from the east room to the outer room in a daze. He greeted the two of them, then opened the door and walked out.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Peng also followed him out. He had been holding back the discomfort in the morning and had to deal with it quickly. He felt relaxed after removing the toxins. When Liu Zhiyong and Zhang Peng returned, they were both frozen and sober.
After washing up, we sat on the kang and ate breakfast. We drank porridge for breakfast, and then there was a salted duck egg in front of each person, and a small dish of pickles in the middle. Because I drank wine yesterday, breakfast was relatively simple.
After breakfast, Liu Zhiyong and Zhang Peng sat on the kang and discussed what to do next.
"Zhiyong, let's start today. We will bring some dry food and pickles from yesterday, and then go to the forest." Zhang Peng drank water and then said to Liu Zhiyong.
"Okay, I don't have any problem with this. Let's start today. If we finish it early, we can go back early." Liu Zhiyong replied to Zhang Peng.
Then the two of them stopped staying, prepared their things, put their guns on their backs, and walked out together, heading towards the traces they found yesterday.
Miao Daqiang sent them to the entrance of the courtyard, then told the two of them to be careful, and then watched them walk away before turning back to the house.
Zhang Peng and Liu Zhiyong slowly walked toward the forest along a trace left on the snow. As they walked into the forest, they would see traces left by small animals from time to time.
However, the two of them didn't pay too much attention. Instead, they slowly followed the traces on the ground and walked deeper into the forest.
After walking inside again for a while, the two of them found that it was indeed as mentioned before. The traces suddenly disconnected, as if they disappeared out of thin air. The two of them looked around carefully and found that there was indeed no trace. The two of them also looked at each other for traces, and then separated and searched around.
Zhang Peng looked carefully at the marks on the ground and trees, trying to find some clues.
However, after searching around, there were indeed no obvious traces. This made Zhang Peng a little surprised. This shouldn't be the case. How could there be no traces? As long as Shanlizi acted, there would definitely be traces. Can it still fly?
