Chapter Seventy-Four: What a Courage
The last part of the road to the forest farm is already a dirt road, and the car is not fast or a little bumpy, but fortunately, this section of the road is not more than a thousand meters long and it is there in a flash.
A large clearing in the jungle was stacked with well-treated logs, and children were playing in the doorway of the largest of the nearby houses.
After getting out of the car, Zhang Cheng asked the child at the door to find out that he was the child of Madison, the manager of the forest farm, and he had finally arrived. Madison's child called out his father Madison, and Zhang Cheng looked like a tall and sturdy white man in his thirties, dressed casually in a denim outfit, and didn't look like a professional manager, but after all, this was a forest farm and not an office building.
Zhang Cheng shook hands with Madison after reporting his name, and Zhang Cheng felt that this man's hands were rough, obviously not pampered, like the hands of migrant workers who often worked.
Madison thinks the boss is too young, but he has a lot of strength in his hands. After chatting a few polite words, Madison went back to the house and took his hat to show Zhang Cheng and the others to the inner holiday villa.
The villa is not far from here, and there are no trees around the house for 100 meters. One is for lighting, and the other is to prevent some animals that are good at climbing trees from entering the house through chimneys or windows along the branches. If it's a cougar or a jaguar that climbs in through the window, you'll have to play.
On the way, the manager of Madison said, "If you want to hunt, there are no bears this season." Hunt as many wild boars as you can, as wild boars often destroy saplings. Even adult trees are often killed by wild boars, they like to grind their teeth with their bark, and wild boar meat tastes good, especially small wild boars and female wild boars. The lake and the salmon river are connected and do not freeze in winter, and there are delicious salmon to catch in the stream and lake from autumn to winter. ”
Zhang Cheng asked another question: "I see that the weekly salary of the loggers on the salary list is only $400, and your weekly salary is only $650, is it too low?" ”
"We didn't join the Forestry Workers Union, or you would have to pay us 25 percent more a week on top of that, and to be honest, we all didn't think that stuff was interesting, and we paid our dues quarterly, and we had to go to meetings on a regular basis," Madison said. Wasting time, we all call union people meeting fans.
The wages here are not high, but because we get our meat from hunting in the forest and fishing in the water, we save a lot of money on buying meat. Whoever catches the prey, the skin is theirs, and if the marksmanship is good, there is also a good income every year. Of course, if you forbid us to hunt in the woods, give us a higher wage and provide us with meat. ”
"Oh, that's right. It's better as usual, not that wild boars often destroy saplings. Zhang Chengxin said that although the Americans do not rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to eat the water, they understand this truth.
"It's not just wild boars that like to destroy, it's brown bears that like to destroy, but most of the brown bears go to sleep during this season, and of course, if there are some that don't like to sleep, we let them sleep when we meet them," Madison said.
Our meat here comes mainly from wild boars, deer, hares and fish, and a small number of wolves. The number of brown bears here is not very large, and after hitting a few left, they are much more honest and run away when they smell people. When hunting, watch out for injured wild boars and cougars, one of them is good at attacking targets in anger after being injured, and the other is good at lurking and hunting. You know it's nice to have a hound, but I think it's a little smaller. ”
Zhang Cheng: "It's a little smaller, this is a Bengal tiger." ”
Madison: "Oh God. Such a small Bengal tiger running into the forest is simply food, whether it is a wild boar or a wolf, it can easily tear him apart. I suggest you better hold him. ”
Zhang Cheng: "I'll pay attention." Xie Lu Xie reminded. ”
The little white tiger saw such a natural scene from getting out of the car and did not have the consciousness of the tiger roaring in the jungle at all, but chose to shrink in the arms of the leaves and shiver, although there are Siberian tigers, but most of the cats are afraid of the cold.
When I arrived at the villa, Madison gave a few words before going back, and everyone found a room to live in the villa, and the decoration here was two grades lower than Zhang Cheng's villa in Nevada. It seems that the previous owner of this place did not regard this place as a permanent place to live, and for Zhang Cheng, he also came to play occasionally, as long as he had a room and electricity, as well as water supply and water, and the Internet.
Zhang Cheng found a phone book in the room of the master bedroom, with some phone numbers ticked on it, Zhang Cheng looked at the hooked and these were some phones with warm names, such as what heart and liver sweetheart massage shop, baby cat massage shop, big massage shop, and fart massage shop......
Well, it's hard to be a recruiting girl who isn't in Nevada. But it's hard not to find a job in Nevada, and you don't know which one of the phone books is the U.S. Police Department. Guest fishing hotline, come to a plainclothes policewoman, and you still pounce on it, then your lawyer will have fun.
After tidying up and resting in the room, the aunt came to the master bedroom and asked Zhang Cheng: "Is it too late to go to the refrigerator in the car to get meat to cook or go hunting and fishing at noon?" ”
Zhang Cheng thought for a while: "Of course I want to eat game when I get here, I'll go and take care of it." Soon. ”
Taking Remington, Zhang Cheng went into the forest alone, there are all planned planted trees, except for the seedling area, the trees grow straight and thick, and the trees that refuse to grow well have been cut down by the lumberjacks as early as when they were bent.
encountered some noises on the road, Zhang Cheng saw that there were rabbits and squirrels in the past, and there were no two catties of meat on his body, and after Remington was shot, it was estimated that the meat was full of shotgun steel balls.
Zhang Cheng was looking for traces of wild boars, deer or wolves, and such a single one would be enough to eat for a few days. After turning around in the forest for a while, Zhang Cheng heard a strange rustling sound, and approached the place where the sound originated to see a half-sized wild boar rubbing its own wild boar skin against the fir bark under a cedar tree, and when it was excited, it also made a satisfied humming sound.
This is the tree that harmed my family, seeing the behavior of the wild boar Zhang Cheng couldn't help but have this idea, and subconsciously raised the muzzle of the gun and shot it over. This shot missed, Zhang Cheng hadn't practiced shooting for a long time, and the strength had been increasing recently, and the recoil of the gun had been almost completely controlled by Zhang Cheng's hand.
The shotguns all hit the boar, and the sound of the bullets splashing dirt and gunfire startled the boar, and the other animals might have turned and ran away when they heard the gunshots. But the wild boar's mind is still stuck in the era when I am in charge of my territory, and when I see the enemy coming, I rush over.
Sample, with guts, Zhang Cheng praised the wild boar in his heart, and did not shoot on the way of the wild boar's charge. What Zhang Cheng is most afraid of is that the prey will run away when he sees people, if he doesn't run, then what else is there to be afraid of.
At the moment when the wild boar rushed to Zhang Cheng's side, Zhang Cheng turned around and stepped on the wild boar's neck, and fixed the wild boar alive on the ground, and then Zhang Cheng stepped on the wild boar's neck and aimed at the wild boar's head at zero distance with Remington in his hand, and asked, "This time see how you hide." ”
A "bang" gunshot, the boar's body shook, and then stopped moving. Zhang Cheng took out a knife to bleed the wild boar, originally Zhang Cheng also knew that killing the pig should be bled alive, but it seemed too cruel, and it was changed to posthumous bloodletting. After the knife cut the neck of the wild boar, it cut open the belly of the wild boar, and removed all the internal organs of the wild boar and threw it away.
Dragging the prey with a rope, Zhang Cheng turned back the way he came. The smell of blood on the ground and the smell of blood from the entrails attracted many opportunists in the jungle, and first a litter of foxes came to feast here, and before the foxes were full, three wolves drove the foxes away. The foxes screamed in the distance against the wolf's atrocity of stealing the man's meal, but the wolf didn't care what the little ones thought and began to eat according to their status, and the crows landed on a nearby branch to think about how to get a piece of the pie from the wolf's mouth.
