Reborn in the 80s, starting with hunting in the mountains

Chapter 31 The weasel enters the house

Zhuzi happily went to climb a tree to pick a hornet's nest.

There were no wasps, just nests, and his biggest worry was gone.

Isn't this just like picking up money for nothing?

As for climbing trees, for him, it is as simple as eating and drinking.

Yingzi was a little envious when she saw Zhuzi rushing to pick honeycombs with great interest.

A dozen yuan, a month's living expenses for her and her grandfather.

But this honeycomb was discovered by Zhu Zhu and has little to do with her.

"Brother Yi, you know so much, you actually know about wasps and bees." Yingzi changed the topic and stopped worrying about the ownership of the hornet's nest.

Their purpose for this trip was not a hornet's nest. As long as they could hunt and kill the black bear, according to the pre-agreed reward, she could get 250 yuan plus [-] kilograms of food stamps, which would be the big deal.

Compared with these, a hornet's nest is nothing to mention.

"By the way, Yingzi, our village hasn't raised bees yet. You can do this, and the income will be much greater than if you hunted." Lin Yi said to Yingzi.

Yingzi blinked, raising bees?Is this really possible?
She had never been exposed to this.

"Really, I won't lie to you. If you are willing to do this, next spring, I will teach you how to raise them." Lin Yi said.

Lin Yi knows how profitable beekeeping in Northeast China is.

The reason is naturally the unique natural environment in Northeast China.

There are many types of bees around the world, but among all the species, there is one type of bee that is rare, and that is the black bee.

Especially the Northeastern black bee. This thing should not have too high an identity and status in future generations. It is the only national-level protected bee species in our country.

It is also a fine product of bees, and its disease resistance is obviously stronger than that of any other species of bees.

Yingzi was silent.

Without reward for his efforts, Lin Yi taught himself how to keep bees, for what purpose?

She couldn't help but murmur.
Could it be that he has taken a fancy to himself?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but blush.

Is Ji Yi next to you? ? ?
This girl, tell her about beekeeping, why does she blush?

So shy?

But Ji Yi soon came to his senses and probably guessed what the problem was.

So he smiled: "Well, I won't teach you in vain. You have to give me ten pounds of honey a year as payment."

Hearing Ji Yi's words, Yingzi breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

"Brother Yi, ten pounds is not enough. If I really make money from beekeeping, I will give you half of it." Yingzi said boldly.

"Then it's settled." Lin Yi and Yingzi made a gentleman's agreement.

During the conversation, Zhuzi had climbed up the tree, carefully cut off the hornet's nest with a knife, and then threw it into the open snow under the tree.

With a deep layer of snow as a buffer, the hornet's nest remained unscathed.

"Boss, you are really amazing. This hornet's nest is really empty." Zhuzi was a little excited.

"It's a pity that it's not a bee nest. If it were a bee nest, we would have honey to eat this winter."

Speaking of honey, Ji Yi also swallowed his saliva.

Northeastern wild honey has excellent taste and nutrition.

This is because the winter in Changbai Mountain is long, the spring is short, and the annual flowering period is not long.

Sometimes, it may be as short as a month.

The time for black bees to collect nectar is very short, only for this month of the year. The black honey produced by black bees is naturally high-quality.

Northeastern black honey has the characteristics of pure naturalness, no pollution, good color and fragrance, sweet and delicious, etc. It is a treasure that prolongs life and maintains youth forever.

Zhuzi put the hornet's nest on the donkey cart, and Lin Yi and the others walked around in the forest again, and this time they harvested two pheasants.Even without the black bear, there was a lot to gain this afternoon.

Five birds, two pheasants, a hare, and a hornet's nest.

Added up, the value is over 50 yuan.

"Boss, we all came out together. The money from the sale of this hornet's nest is of course shared by everyone. How can I want it alone?" Zhuzi shook his head when he heard Lin Yi and Yingzi said that the hornet's nest belonged to him alone.

Doesn't this make him ashamed?

Zhuzi was also simple-minded. He had been hunting with Ji Yi for the past two days, and most of the prey was hunted by Ji Yi and shared with him.

"That's up to you, the money isn't much anyway." Ji Yi didn't care.

Back in the village, Lin Yi found that something was not right with his second aunt.

So I asked my second aunt what was wrong.

The second aunt pointed to the chicken coop: "Xiao Yi, our house seems to have been robbed."

Ji Yi and Zhu Zhu went to the chicken coop and saw chicken feathers scattered on the ground, as well as a pool of black blood.

The weather was cold and the blood turned into ice, which was very conspicuous.

"I was robbed. Who stole it? I'll help you avenge it, aunt." Zhuzi suddenly became furious.

The boss's aunt is his aunt, it makes no sense, this thief is so bold, he stole the chicken in broad daylight.

You must know that in the 80s, a chicken was a big fortune for the family.

"Zhu, it's not necessarily someone who stole it." Ji Yi patted Zhu on the shoulder, telling him to calm down.

"Yes, look at these footprints. I guess it's probably Huang Pizi who entered the house?" Yingzi thought carefully and found several small footprints near the chicken coop.

Lin Yi soon saw the footprints and agreed with Yingzi's guess.

Huangpizi, also known as weasel and mustelid, is famous in the Northeast.

It is not big in size but has a ferocious temperament and is good at hunting birds.

In winter, they often harm the chickens of villagers down the mountain.

"But it's a little strange. Weasels are nocturnal animals and are usually active in the early morning and dusk. Why are they out to steal chickens in broad daylight?" Yingzi muttered.

If it weren't for this footprint, she really wouldn't have targeted the weasel.

Because there are many animals, such as eagles, that also steal chickens.

Lin Yi told Yingzi that nothing is absolute, and weasels occasionally move during the day.

"Forget it, just steal it, Wong Tai Sin can't afford to offend him." The second aunt sighed and forced a smile.

In the Northeast region, the legend of the Five Immortals has been circulating since ancient times.

Although in the 80s, people have gradually believed in science and do not believe in these legends of gods and ghosts.

But in the Northeast, most people are still taboo about it.

The five great immortals of the Northeast are fox, yellow, white, willow and gray, which correspond to fox, weasel, hedgehog, snake and rat respectively.

People generally believe that the five immortals are both demons and immortals. If you worship them, you will protect your family's safety; on the contrary, if you offend them, you will also be retaliated against.

That's why the second aunt is so taboo when she hears Weasel's name.

"Boss, it was Huang Taixian who stole it, what should I do?" Zhu Zhu also didn't know what to do.

"Zhuzi, what's there to be afraid of? Huangpizi is actually not that evil. A weasel just knows how to fart. Since it stole my aunt's house, I naturally have to teach it a lesson." Lin Yi said.

"However, they all say that Huangpizi should not be provoked, because it is extremely vengeful. Once it is attacked by humans, it will take revenge on humans." Zhuzi muttered.

This statement is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Northeast China.

What's more, they say that Huangxian can possess humans, and the possessed people will be crazy and talk nonsense all day long.
