Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 315: The hanging net is more powerful
In fact, the atmosphere in Lao Xu's family is quite harmonious and cheerful. Everyone has the right to speak. Xu Laowen and Liu Lizhen do not talk to each other. They are very gentle to their two sons and daughter. They are not like other parents who do not let their children talk and are stubborn. My own opinion.

During this time, Xu Ning's status was getting higher and higher, and his mother was willing to listen to him, because he was good at doing things, good at chatting, and had knowledge far beyond that of his peers.

As for Xu Laowen, he was just maintaining his dignity as a father. In fact, he had long been looking forward to being housekeepers Xu Long and Xu Ning. After all, he had a playful heart.

After explaining the matter, the whole family was happy and looked forward to the opening of Lengchang, so that all the gentlemen in the house would have something to do. For example, Liu Daming, in addition to walking in the mountains, he also worked for other people, and he could only work for a week. Earning four or five yuan is just hard work. It's a lot of work and it's tiring. When you get home from work, you don't like to move.

The old uncle is a hard-working person, not the kind of lazy person. This year, he can earn one or two hundred just by doing hard work. If he sells mountain products, he can earn seven or eight hundred a year if he catches up with good ideas.

My uncle, Wu Qiuxia, is not in good health these days. She has to go to the health center in the street every now and then. She spends a lot of money, but the disease is still not cured. What is the disease? Gynecological problems.

Xu Ning has known about it for a long time, but he is a nephew, so how can he talk to his uncle about this matter? Besides, Xu Ning remembers that things will get better when the spring gets warmer, so it's not a big deal in the first place.

After dinner, Xu Ning took down the old pout handle and 56 and a half from the wall, while Li Fuqiang, Wang Hu, and Guan Lei loaded everything onto the sledge, including a braided net bag, two and a half bundles of nylon rope, a kettle, Tea jar, etc.

Liu Lizhen packed four lunch boxes for them and brought two kilograms of rice cakes.

When the four of them were about to go out, Liu Lizhen asked, "Will you be back tomorrow morning?"

"Don't take it, we won't go into the mountains."

At this moment, Lao Fang was waiting anxiously at home. The old lady had a bad mouth and kept nagging about the fact that she brought two sheep to Lao Xu's family and that Xu Ning and others were lazy and did not work.

"Anything three to four meters long or ten thick will do. You need to prepare three..."

Xu Ning turned around and replied: "If we are hungry, we will come back. If we are not hungry, we will just go for a walk in the old forest. You don't have to worry about us..."

"We will go to Da Xiaoxiao's house at noon. We decided yesterday. The four of us must go."

When passing by Li Fuqiang's house, he went in and looked for a gun, "Brother, can you get some marlezi?"

Liu Lizhen nodded and saw Xu Ning, Wang Hu, Guan Lei and Li Fuqiang pulling the sledge and walking out of the courtyard carrying Lao Poutizi and 56 and a half.

Lao Fang was overjoyed when he heard this. He turned around and saw that the four of them were dressed very professionally. He patted his legs and said happily: "Daqun, go and boil some water."

Li Fuqiang frowned and said, "What are we here for?"

Xu Laowen said: "Don't let Lao Fang's family eat it."

It was exactly 6:30 when they arrived at Taipingtun. Xu Ning and the four of them did not go looking for the loudspeaker, but went straight to Lao Fang's house.

Immediately, Lao Fang hurried out of the house and walked quickly in the courtyard, waving to Xu Ning and the other four, "Xiao Xu, come into the courtyard quickly! This kang is getting very hot, and I'm waiting for you to come over." ”

Lao Fang glanced at Li Fuqiang and Guan Lei and said, "Hey, then I have to go dig in the backyard. What am I doing?"

Lao Fang listened for half a moment, and finally couldn't help but slap the old lady twice, and said bluntly: "When Xiao Xu comes over later, if you act like this again, I will slap you to death! People say before seven o'clock Definitely come over, why are you in a hurry?"

The old lady covered her face and did not mind being buried on the ground. She cried out and pointed at Lao Fang and scolded her very hard. From the time Lao Fang married her and gave birth to a child, she scolded her until her second son jumped into the river and died.

Why don't you continue to scold? Because the four of Xu Ning stood at the door and shouted twice.

"You won't come back at noon? How can we have dinner?"

Han Fengjiao smiled and said, "You can make some food anywhere, sister-in-law, so let's just leave them alone. We won't be hungry anyway."

Lao Fang nodded: "Yes! How long and thick do you want it to be?"

Xu Ning stepped into the courtyard, turned around and saw that the stones on the wall of the sheep pen had been removed, and said, "We have to do some work. Do you have a horizontal bar at home?"

Just as he was about to leave, Lao Fang turned back and pointed at the old lady and said, "You will be so loud later, Xiao Xu is different from others."

Lao Fang stared at him for a while and said, "Okay! I'll go look for it now. It won't cost any money anyway."

He called Fang Daquan to the backyard. The old lady and the eldest daughter-in-law were leaning against the window, observing the movements of Xu Ning and the others. He saw that they first removed the net bag on the sledge, and Wang Hu threaded the remaining half bundle of nylon rope through it. Reached the edge of the net bag.

Li Fuqiang and Guan Lei walked into the shed and pushed out the stone roller weighing nearly 200 kilograms. This stone roller was relatively small because it was used to crush straw and thresh grains. Weighing up to four to five hundred kilograms...

Xu Ning was observing the sheepfold and the eaves of the lower house.

"Brother, how do you adjust this roller to the roof? It weighs about 200 kilograms, which is quite heavy." Guan Lei asked.

Before Xu Ning could speak, Wang Hu took out the pulley from his pocket with a smile, "Brother Lei, look at what this is?"

Guan Lei looked at Pulley and said with a smile: "My brother is so thoughtful."

"Then what are you talking about, my brother?"

Xu Ning said: "Stop bragging. Later, we will build a frame for the roller, and then lay the net..."

"Okay!"

From ancient times to the present, nets have been used for many purposes, such as fishing, bird hunting, etc., and sets have also been used for many purposes, such as single sets for hunting rabbits, sets for roe deer, etc., and...

What Xu Ning wants to arrange is a net cover. This kind of net cover is a variation of the hanging leg cover and the net bag, but it adds a gravity point.

The sling is a relatively high-tech slinging method. It is generally used to capture agile animals, such as foxes, lynxes, green skins, etc. If you want to sling, you must choose a birch tree that can be bent, tough, and elastic. Use wooden sticks to tie it up. As long as the prey gets into the noose and touches the mechanism, the birch tree will bounce up and the noose will automatically tighten, thus hanging the animal in the air. But since there are no flexible trees available in Lao Fang’s sheep pen, what should we do? Then you have to use a clumsy method, using something with a heavy weight as pressure, with a support point on the top, and manually lowering the weight. Therefore, the net laid below is quickly closed and the animal is caught in the net bag.

Lao Fang and Fang Daquan found four pieces of wood that were three to four meters long and more than ten centimeters thick. After delivering them to the sheepfold, they stood and watched. Xu Ning directed Wang Hu, Li Fuqiang and Guan Lei to first move the three pieces of wood. The horizontal bar is erected, and after it is fixed, fix the pulley in the middle.

Then he pushed the stone roller under the eaves, tied it with a rope, and three people pulled it up. Li Fuqiang quickly ran to the roof. The roof of the lower house of Lao Fang's house was sloping toward the east.

But the slope is not high, and it looks about the same as a bungalow. The top is covered with straw, and the bottom is covered with rainproof film, soil, and wooden boards, so the roof can withstand a 200-pound stone roller.

After the stone roller was fixed to the roof, Xu Ning asked Li Fuqiang to insert a wooden wedge under the stone roller to prevent it from falling in the wind. Moreover, the wooden wedge was also a kind of mechanism. The principle was like a raking pole. It must have The wooden wedge is tied to the rope. After finding the prey, you can manually pull the wooden wedge out so that the stone roller can fall...

Xu Ning wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Just leave one sheep in the sheepfold and let the other two sheep fill the whole house."

Lao Fang held his pipe and pot in his mouth and said, "Just leave one sheep? That's okay, Daquan, let's lead the two ewes in the house."

"Eh."

Fang Daquan opened the fence door of the sheep pen, got in, tied the two ewes with a rope and left.

Guan Lei took a broom and swept the glass leaves (oak leaves) covered in the sheep pen to the base of the wall. Then Xu Ning, Wang Hu, and Li Fuqiang moved the horizontal bars. However, the shed in the sheep pen was a bit in the way, so they had to stop moving. , Xu Ning pointed to the shed and said, "Can this shed be demolished?"

Lao Fang was a little unhappy. He couldn't afford to build the shed, so how could he tear it down so easily?

"Can it be dismantled?"

Xu Ning glanced at the stones that originally built the wall of the sheepfold and said, "It's okay if you don't demolish it. You guys have to move the stones and surround the shed. You can't let the sheep get into the shed, otherwise I'll be like this The net was not big enough and the leopard escaped. "

Lao Fang nodded silently, took a puff of cigarette, and said, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Then, six people carried stones and surrounded the shed, so that the sheepfold was left with a space four and a half meters long and three and a half meters wide, about 15 square meters.

The net compiled by Xu Ning was only 8 square meters, but it was enough. After all, the net had to be laid in the middle of the sheep pen.

Halfway past, several people had already erected the horizontal bar. A rope was connected to the net bag, passed through the pulley above, and tied to the stone roller.

Li Fuqiang went to the roof and pushed the stone roller forward, then inserted the wooden wedge, and a rope just drooped down...

"Huzi, you go up on the frame and tie the horizontal bar more tightly. This roller is quite heavy. If it falls down and pulls the horizontal bar down, it will be the end of you."

"okay!"

At this time, Lao Fang asked: "What, do you still need me?"

"No, you can go into the house and sleep. Don't come out if you hear any noise at night. Otherwise, if you get shot, don't cry out in pain."

Lao Fang said: "Who wants to go out and take risks when he can sleep peacefully with such a chatterbox? Come on, you guys should deal with it."

After that, Lao Fang and Fang Daquan entered the house. When they saw the old lady and her daughter-in-law leaning against the window, Lao Fang cursed angrily.

In the west room, Fang Min looked away, turned to look at his father, and said, "What are they doing there?"

"Get off the net, do you know Xu Ning?"

Fang Min nodded: "We know him! He is one class older than me. Wang Hu and I are in the same class, he is in class one, and I am in class two..."

Fang Daquan didn't ask any more questions after hearing this, because he had a bit of trouble with his head and could only follow orders to work. If he was asked to think about something, his head would be swollen to the point of bursting.

Lao Fang entered the house, took a look at the four sheep sleeping on the ground, and said to Fang Min, "Min, are you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry. Should I go out for a walk with them tomorrow?"

"Why don't you just hang out with them? Just keep it in your house and raise it. When it's done, I'll sell it to these two sheep. Then I'll give you a wife!"

"...I'm already like this, so what's the point of talking about a wife? Dad, hurry up and get on the bed and cover yourself with quilts. Let's go to bed quickly."

"Hey." Fang Daquan nodded and stepped onto the kang.

"Slippers! You don't take off your shoes before you get on the bed? How did you get such a brain? What about your brain?"

It means heavy nasal discharge, and sometimes it is also called the water that drips out after the pustule is inflamed.

Fang Daquan didn't say a word, just turned around and took off his shoes to cover himself with the quilt.

Lao Fang said: "My lord, how about you live with your mother tonight? There are sheep in this house, can you sleep well?"

"It's okay, I feel even more excited when I hear the sheep bleating!" Fang Min said.

"Hey Mom, you and I want to go together! The three of us will stay in the West Room tonight."

As expected of the two of them, they even have the same ideas.
