Although it snowed heavily last night, the weather seemed to have been quickly lifted, and when you closed your eyes and opened them again overnight, the sky was clear. The autumn is crisp and the leaves are red, and the primeval forest in early autumn has a unique style. Yesterday's snowstorm did not seem to have bothered the quiet forest in the slightest, with only a little snow visible on the top of the tall conifer branches.

After entering the woods, there was no road, and the old smoke, who carried a shotgun on his back, led the way in front. Overhead are tall giant trees adapted to the extremely cold climate of the north, towering into the clouds, at this time it is autumn, the leaves are red, the wind blows the leaves, and the warm sun falls mottled down from between the leaves. The rotten leaves under the feet are soft and soft to step on, and the feet feel very comfortable, but there is a very special smell in the forest, which is not a good smell, but at least it is more than a hundred times stronger than the old běi Jingcheng after autumn. Wang Xiaobei is very excited, this is not the first time that the Wang family has played a hunting game, in fact, at the foot of the imperial city, as long as you can think of a way to play, someone can have a place to change the way for you to enjoy, but it is really bad to go into the primeval forest to hunt with a shotgun. Although I didn't sleep for a few hours last night, I was fortunate to sleep in an off-road vehicle on the way to get back pain, and last night's showdown with Li Yundao was unexpected, all kinds of excitement and happiness covered up the physical tiredness, and after walking for a while, Young Master Wang began to hum the song that he hadn't thought of for a long time.

Wang Xiaobei walked in the middle of Lao Yan and Li Yundao, Lao Yan hit the head, and Li Yundao was behind the palace, so Wang Xiaobei sometimes turned his head and grinned at his eldest cousin who had just met for less than eight hours, and his honest appearance was enough to scare the young ladies in Sijiu City out of a pool of eyeballs. Li Yundao's expression was very natural, the truth of last night did not seem to bring him too much emotional trouble, on the contrary, as soon as he entered the forest, he instinctively stood up and surveyed the surrounding environment from time to time.

Wang Xiaobei wanted to interview the eldest cousin what he thought in his heart, but he still held back. Since he was a child, he has followed Wang Pengzhen, the chief military advisor of the Republic, no matter how stupid Wang Xiaobei is, he understands the truth that everything is not done quickly, especially this kind of family entanglement caused by objective factors, not to mention that it can be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

He looked at Lao Yan again, in terms of generation, Lao Yan is Li Yundao's own uncle, and Wang Xiaobei also has to call him uncle. To tell the truth, he really admires this old hunter in his heart at this time, at the age of seventy, he is already the age of enjoying his old age in a big city, in Wang Xiaobei's experience, it seems that he has never seen a seventy-five old man who can shuttle through the forest with agility, and in his opinion, this old man's hands and feet are much stronger than his son and brother who do not distinguish between grains, even if he was still destroyed in the military academy for two years, Qingchun left an indelible psychological shadow to this day.

Before entering the forest, Li Yundao told Wang Xiaobei that he must keep up with the pace of Lao Yan in front of him, and never pull down or take it for granted to open up a new road, after entering the forest, the three of them shuttled forward in a line, and when they walked ten kilometers off-road and did not get up and down like this, Lao Yan stopped, leaned on a big tree that three people surrounded and could not be encircled, listening to something with their ears sideways, Li Yundao and Wang Xiaobei also stopped beside him, staring at Lao Yan's face, and invariably became nervous.

Wang Xiaobei asked quietly: "Will there be a tiger?" There was a lot of excitement in addition to the words, as if this goods were the mountain that was specially entered to fight tigers.

Li Yundao shook his head with a smile: "The forest here is shallow, there shouldn't be one." But if you go deeper, it's hard to say. ”

Wang Suan was really disappointed: "That's ......"

The two of them were happy when they saw Lao Yan's expression at the same time, and then Lao Yan ran out with a shotgun on his back, and the two of them quickly followed, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at a slightly empty area, and at this time, there was a big black mouth on the ground of the rotten leaves-like a trap that Lao Yan had set up a long time ago.

"The beasts in the forest are very good, yesterday there was a strong wind and heavy snow, I wondered if they were going to come out to forage, no, hahaha......" Lao Yan pointed to a deer-like animal in the trap, the size is very small, about a meter less, the trap is about 3 meters deep, the surrounding soil is very strong, it is generally difficult for people to go down without tools, not to mention that this four-legged beast is also injured beast.

Li Yundao squatted on the edge of the pit, frowning and looking at the animal in the pit that seemed to have broken its hind legs: "It's a pity, it's a mother." ”

Lao Yan also nodded: "This guy is rare, and there are even fewer male ones." ”

Wang Xiaobei was confused: "Can the two of you speak human words?"

Li Yundao explained: "This is a musk deer. You should have heard of musk, the male musk deer only produces that thing, the old is expensive, and the female is not very valuable. ”

Wang Xiaobei suddenly heard that there was a guy in the circle who had a relationship background in the Ministry of Health who sold musk and made hundreds of millions, and it is said that one gram of fresh is worth 500 yuan.

Suddenly, Li Yundao's brows furrowed again: "No, it's ......"

Lao Yan looked up at Li Yun and said, "What's wrong?"

Li Yundao raised his head and said, "Bei Shao, borrow your dagger and use it." ”

Without saying a word, Wang Xiaobei took off the "mad dog" tactical assault knife on his waist and handed it to Li Yundao, who didn't say much, propped his hands on the trap, and jumped into the trap. Lao Yan also looked puzzled, but the trap was laid by him, and there was not much risk inside, not to mention that there were two people outside, he and Wang Xiaobei, and he was not worried about what happened to Li Yundao with the injured livestock less than a meter below.

Li Yundao's skills were beyond Wang Xiaobei's expectations, and after turning over, he borrowed a kick from the trap wall, and landed lightly at the bottom of the pit about 20 centimeters away from the mother musk deer. The female musk deer was already very nervous when she saw someone appear on the trap, and at this moment, when she saw someone turning over, she was even more shocked to let out a low "mm-huh", and her gray-yellow body stained with some rotting leaves and pit soil also trembled. Li Yundao thrust the saber back into his waist, spread out his raised hands, and remained motionless, and the tearful eyes of the mother musk couldn't help but be puzzled.

Li Yundao spread his hands flat, slowly approached the female musk deer, and the last hand gently pressed on the female musk deer's head. The moment the palm fell, the female musk deer trembled, and after Li Yundao's palm fell gently, he stroked the female musk deer's skull and neck for a moment, and the beast actually stretched out his tongue to lick his hand.

Wang Xiaobei, who was squatting on the edge of the pit and staring down, suddenly cried and laughed: "Yundao, how can you handle it if you are a mother?"

Lao Yan also smiled, still staring at Li Yundao's movements. Then, gaining the trust of the female musk deer, Li Yundao's hand slowly stroked between the chest and abdomen of the female musk deer, and the female musk deer only stretched her neck and licked Li Yundao's arm, not paying attention to Li Da Diaomin's movements at all. Sure enough, when Li Yundao reached its abdomen, the female musk deer reflexively straightened her neck, tilted her head to look at the stranger who released kindness in front of her, and there was a low sound of "uh-huh" in her throat.

After a while, Li Yundao sighed and looked up at Lao Yan: "It's really pregnant with a cub." ”

Lao Yan was stunned for a moment, and sighed: "Forget it, it's also its creation, don't care about it for now, take it back to the village when you come back, and then put it back when it's cured." ”

Wang Xiaobei was puzzled: "Why?"

Li Yundao used a tactical dagger to dig a few holes in the pit wall, climbed down in three or two clicks, and patted the soil between his trouser legs and waist and abdomen: "Bei Shao, you don't go into the forest very much, so you don't know, the beast that is pregnant with a cub cannot be killed." ”

"Why?" Wang Xiaobei still didn't understand.

Li Yundao smiled: "God will blame." ”

Wang Xiaobei shrugged his shoulders, obviously not satisfied with the explanation of this superstition.

Lao Yan patted him on the shoulder: "There are still a lot of condoms in front, and they won't all have cubs." ”

Wang Xiaobei complained: "I'm not without sympathy, but I finally got a prey......

Li Yundao said with a smile: "Although I don't believe that good people will be rewarded, but this kind of beast that is pregnant with cubs, it would be a pity if it is really killed, maybe there are four males in the belly......"

Wang Xiaobei was speechless and kept up with Lao Yan's pace. Sure enough, Lao Yan also occasionally made gains in several similar traps dug earlier, and there was actually a roe deer in one of the pits. I also encountered a few mountain jumpers on the road, Lao Yan didn't use a gun, he used a homemade earthen bow on his body, but before Lao Yan pulled the bow and shot an arrow, Wang Xuan had already picked up a double-barreled shotgun that came with him and shot it. This thing's marksmanship is not bad, and it blasts half of a mountain jump to pieces, and it looks like it can't be eaten.

Li Yundao couldn't laugh and said, "Bei Shao, are you here to hunt or to make a special trip to torture and kill?"

Wang Xiaowang touched the back of his head and was excited and embarrassed: "This ...... Well...... I'm so excited, I'm so excited, pay attention next time. ”

Li Yundao shook his head and said, "I was frightened by the shot you just fired just now, and I don't think I can find a beast bigger than your head within a radius of two kilometers." ”

Wang Xiaowang was stunned: "Ah...... That's right...... I knew it earlier...... I knew that I would have let the old man use the bow......"

Lao Yan smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, there are a lot of us today, you can go to the forest again, usually I come in alone, but I rarely take risks." Kid, we won't be back in a while, why don't we go see your mother first?"

Li Yundao's expression froze slightly, and then he took a deep breath: "Okay." ”

Winter goes to chun, chun takes the summer solstice, autumn leaves fly after summer, and then it is still snowy winter. In this way, year after year, she lay here quietly for twenty-eight years, watching the flowers bloom in the forest, thank you for defeat, bloom again, and defeat again.

The birds flew, the fish left, the snowflakes came, and the chuns came.

Chun is gone again.

In the little mound by the stream, she was still there.
