Wang Peng returned to the courtyard, and the queen mother asked worriedly, "You want to go into the mountains with Zhang Dashuai?" I heard that some time ago, the black blind people came out, and it was too dangerous. Apparently the Queen Mother heard the conversation between Zhang Taiping and Wang Peng.

"What's the matter, there are a lot of people, and the big dog of the handsome guy's friend is also very powerful, it's a Tibetan mastiff. Last time, it was the big dog, the black blind man bitten it. Wang Peng waved his hand and said indifferently.

The queen mother didn't know where the Tibetan mastiff was sacred and how fierce it was, but she knew that the black blind man in the mountains was very powerful, and it was rumored that a slap could slap a person to death, and a tongue licking a person could take away a piece of meat. I really don't worry about Wang Peng and Zhang Taiping going into the mountain together, but I can't persuade them to go in, it's useless to say anything, Wang Peng listens to Zhang Dashuai's words the most.

The already crisscrossed wrinkles on his forehead deepened, and he couldn't worry about it, so he could only pray silently.

When he returned home, Zhang Taiping began to prepare things for entering the mountain.

The first thing to prepare is to prepare for self-defense.

A knife is a must. After entering the mountain, whether you encounter danger or do other things, it is always much more convenient to have a knife.

Zhang Dashuai remembers that when he was a child, his grandfather had a few very sharp and domineering knives, and he always liked to take them out to watch the friction and wash them when he was fine, and never let anyone touch them. It's just that he didn't see him again because of some things, Zhang Dashuai coveted those knives very much, but let him ask the old man for it, he didn't have the courage yet, and he couldn't find it by himself.

There are no other props at home, just a woodcutter, the style is not very eye-catching, but it is quite sharp, and it is easy to wield and will not fall because of stupidity, and it can still be used. Besides, I can't find another knife for a while, so it's not easy to borrow something like a knife. I can only use the woodcutter at home.

A three-pointed steel fork is also a must. It can only be used as a close-quarters defensive weapon, and its role is more to open the way or cut down some small trees and thorns. The three-pointed steel fork is purely used for combat self-defense, if you encounter a large animal, you don't dare to let it get close at all, the reaction of ordinary people is not as good as that of animals, plus the animals in the mountains and forests are rich in experience in fighting and fighting, once you let it get close, it is equivalent to handing over your own life to the other party's claws.

People with a little experience in the mountains know that a person in the mountains will not be able to defeat large predators such as wolves and leopards. This animal is basically already at the top of the food chain in the mountains, and can only be killed by traps and many people besieging it.

If you are unfortunate enough to encounter a person, the first thing to do is to stand still and put on a posture, not to lose momentum, the most taboo is to turn around and run, which will make it more unscrupulous to attack. Then try to find a way to distance yourself from these animals, and use long-range attacks to make up for the lack of hand-to-hand combat between humans and animals.

At that time, the best weapon was not a knife, but a three-pointed steel fork that was seven or eight meters long. Just like a gun, it can be stabbed, picked, and thrown at a critical time, which is the best weapon for self-defense in the mountains. Almost every household in the village has one.

As for food and water, it is not a problem for an experienced hunter, he can live in the mountains for a long time without anything, the water can find a source of water according to the land, and the food can be hunted by himself, just bring spices and concoct it.

And the rich old man, the experienced old hunter who went with him this time, didn't need to worry about these issues at all. But in line with prudence, Zhang Taiping still prepared some dry food, and the water had space for spring water, so he didn't have to bring it.

I didn't forget to put some spices in the wooden box. You can do without food in the mountains, but you must bring spices. You can hunt without food, but if you don't bring spices, you won't be able to swallow even if you bake the food.

Matches and fuel are also essential. However, considering that the air in the mountains is humid, matches tend to become damp and cannot be wiped after night, so it is necessary to prepare a few lighters.

I didn't have fuel or lighters at home, and I had to go to the store.

When he came to the small shop, it was Wang Bajin who was watching the store, and his daughter-in-law was not there.

Seeing Zhang Taiping coming in, Wang Bajin stood up enthusiastically and said.

"Dashuai, I really thanked you for that time."

"Thanks to what, weren't you in the tree at the time? The wild boar can't hurt you at all, it doesn't matter if I go or not, it won't help you much. ”

"That's different, if you save it, you save it, can I still forget?" Wang Bajin finally took advantage of his daughter-in-law's absence and said with a serious and hard expression.

Zhang Taiping saw that his feet were still skimming, so he changed the topic and asked, "How are your feet now?" ”

"It's not a big problem, but I can't step on it yet, and it hurts as soon as I get down. I can only walk on tiptoe, like a girl. Wang Bajin said with annoyance.

Zhang Taiping didn't say it, and thought in his heart that he was originally a submissive soft egg who was bullied and disciplined, and he didn't care about a girl?

"For a hundred days, you should move less and rest more." Zhang Taiping admonished, but as for whether he listened to it or not, he didn't know.

In fact, everyone understands the phrase "100 days to break the muscles and bones", but if people in the countryside have a fracture or something, they will often do heavy work before they reach three months. It's not that you don't take care of your body, but if you don't work hard, the whole family may go hungry. Rural people are not sick and can still get good wages.

"Do you have gas here?" Zhang Taiping asked.

Wang Bajin was stunned: "Gasoline? We don't know who we have gasoline here, and if we have it, we don't know who to sell it to, and it will only rot in your hands, and you can't get this product. ”

Zhang Taiping thought about it, who in the village can use gasoline for a year and a half? No, it's normal, though. I had to settle for the next best thing.

"What about kerosene?"

"Kerosene is there, how much do you want?" Wang Bajin said happily.

The kerosene in the store was still imported a few years ago and was not sold out. A few years ago, the village had just been electrified, and the line was unstable and always malfunctioning, so every family prepared a kerosene lamp in case it was needed from time to time. In the past few years, the circuit has been stabilized, and there are rarely sudden power outages, and kerosene lamps are no longer used, and the kerosene in the small shop naturally cannot be sold.

Now that someone suddenly wants to buy it, Wang Bajin is naturally happy, how much can he sell, and it is nothing to stay there, as long as he can exchange money.

"Three pounds." As he spoke, Zhang Taiping handed over two plastic bottles, one large and one small, the large one could hold two catties, and the small one could hold one catty.

Wang Bajin took the bottle in and poured two bottles. After coming out, Zhang Taiping said again.

"Two more lighters and a bottle of liquor."

Wang Bajin went to put two lighters on the counter, and then asked, "What kind of wine do you want?" Taibai, Xifeng, or Erguotou? ”

Wang Bajin's small shop only has these three kinds of wine. Generally, when people in the village drink it themselves, they are two pot heads, and this one is the cheapest and the strongest. When people drink it, it's mainly the first strong energy, the cheap one is good, and Xifeng's cotton strength is really not used to drinking. Only when someone's family has a red and white wedding will they send Xifeng or Taibai.

Zhang Taiping thought for a while and said, "Let's have a bottle each for Erguotou and Xifeng." ”

"Great!" Wang Bajin responded loudly, then moved a stool to take down a bottle of Xifeng wine from the upper layer of the shelf, and then took out a bottle of Erguotou from the bottom.

Glancing at the things placed on the counter, Zhang Taiping reached into his pocket and prepared to pay. But the hand suddenly stopped again and asked.

"Do you have firecrackers here now?"

"Firecrackers?" This can stop Wang Bajin, he really doesn't know if there is now, firecrackers are generally coming in when the New Year is approaching, and it is still early before the New Year. "I don't know if there is, you can wait a while and look for you." So saying, he went into the house.

The store is not large, so some things that are not often sold will be put in the inner room, and you will only find it when you need it.

After a while, Wang Bajin came out with a bag of things in his hand.

"There aren't many left, that's all left, and they didn't sell out last year."

Zhang Taiping looked down and saw that there were two cakes with 500 rings and a pack of fragmented firecrackers, several large thunder cannons and a pack of small thunder cannons. "It's all for it. Do the math how much it is in total. ”

Wang Bajin took out a calculator and pressed it before quoting the number: "A total of forty-two yuan, look at it." As he spoke, he pushed the calculator in front of Zhang Taiping.

Zhang Taiping simply paid after taking a look. Just as he was about to leave, Wang Bajin climbed to the counter and asked mysteriously in a low voice.

"Dashuai, I heard that you are going to go into the mountains with your friends to kill bears? Is that true? ”

Zhang Taiping is happy, it looks like an underground party, this must be Wang Peng's big mouth who didn't hold back his excitement and publicized it. The fart at the head of the village and the end of the village can be heard, and this matter can be spread throughout the village immediately. Said with a smile and a smile.

"It's true to go into the mountains, and it's just fun to go into the mountains with friends, and it's a bit too far to kill bears."

After speaking, without waiting for Wang Bajin to speak, he waved his hand and walked out.

The people in the village don't have any other entertainment programs, and this little bit of fun is just that, in their spare time, they pull Gu Chang Mile Short, basically a little thing in the village, it can be spread throughout the whole village within an hour. It seems that the heart of gossip is not divided into regions or poverty.

When he got home, Zhang Taiping found a large piece of cotton, and he was going to make some simple torches.

Soak the cotton in kerosene for enough time, then take it out and wrap it around the end of the stick and tie it tightly. Such a simple torch came out. With a flashlight, these torches may not be used at all, but he is naturally cautious and still makes this preparation, so he is prepared.

When you're done, put them all in the space, leaving only a small bottle of kerosene outside.
