Chapter 116: Frog jumping in the forest next to Niutougou
Niutougou is located in the old forest deep in the mountains, more than 30 miles away from Xiaowangzhuang, fortunately it is easier to walk in the old forest, because there is almost no daylight here, so there are not many wild grass vines, not like the bushes under the mountain are entwined with vines.
With the dead branches and dead leaves under his feet, Zhou Yu happily walked in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by more than forty burly mountain men, and in front of him was a large group of hunting dogs to open the way. This time, more than 40 families came, each with at least one hunting dog, so it created an unusually large hunting dog herd. This is also for the sake of safety, such a large team is not daring to provoke even a large wolf pack.
Walking and walking, everyone looked at Zhou Yu with a little different eyes, this mountain road has walked for more than 20 miles, Zhou Yu still follows everyone unhurriedly, and jokes with everyone from time to time. You must know that this is a mountain road of more than 20 miles, and if you want to say that your group of people walk on the mountain road like walking on the ground, they have been trained for decades, but a young man like Zhou Yu, I heard that he used to work in the provincial capital, it is too surprising to be able to do this, and then take a closer look at this young man does not look different from others? In the end, it can only be attributed to his talent.
Until now, Zhou Yu has also realized that his body has changed significantly, it was not obvious a few days ago, but he felt that his sleep was more fragrant than before, and the amount of food was increased than before, but he really didn't walk more than 20 miles of mountain roads without shouting or panting.
"It's supposed to be the effect of the space and the pool." Li Yang thought secretly.
The group set off at dawn and walked for nearly four hours until they reached Niutougou. In front of everyone's eyes is a huge ravine from east to west, two miles wide, which forcibly divides this forest into two large parts, north and south. In the middle of the ravine, there are bushes and weeds, and there is no road in sight. Standing here, you can't help but marvel at the wonder of creation.
In the old woods, the hunters did not dare to walk in such a dense place overgrown with weeds, because no one knew what unknown dangers would be in the tunnel.
Zhou Yu was speechless, no wonder there are a large number of forest frogs here, not to mention the high mountains and deep forests here, there is such a natural barrier, no wonder it will become a paradise for forest frogs.
At this time, an old hunter in his sixties who looked quite prestigious shouted at everyone,
"Everyone has worked harder, and we can catch forest frogs after this bull head ditch. He put down all the planks on his body and spread them forward one by one, and brought a few leaves of the herbs in the basket on his body. Pay attention to both sides and watch out for poisonous insects under your feet. All the descendants are behind, the nephew of the Zhou family, you are in the middle, Lao Zhang, Lao Wang, our old bones take the lead. ”
After the order, a total of four old hunters who were sixty years old walked in the front, including the old hunters who had just spoken, and the slightly younger men, including Wang Zhijiang, obediently followed behind them.
Zhou Yu shook his head in disappointment, how could he let the old man take the lead? Then he looked back a few times with disdain, and the others tried to rush forward, but they were dragged back by the red-eyed uncle.
"Stinky boy, don't make trouble at this time, okay? Do you think we are cruel and shameless? Let a few old people walk in front of the most dangerous? Tell you, this is our rule in the mountains, there is danger, as long as the parents are not dead, the juniors are never allowed to take risks, do you think we have not resisted? But they said that this is how their parents protected them in the first place, and this is the inheritance, so what do you tell us to do? Do you know the truth? In fact, the most uncomfortable thing is our group! ”
Looking at a group of forty or fifty-year-old men around him with tears in their eyes, Zhou Yu was deeply shocked. What an amiable and respectable old man! What a shocking bloodline inheritance! They used their actions to elaborate a wise saying: "The father is always the mountain that the child relies on".
Zhou Yu secretly made a decision in his heart, if he developed one day, he would definitely not forget the respectable and lovely villagers of Xiaowangzhuang.
Several old men looked at Zhou Yu with a smile, and the leading old hunter gave Zhou Yu a thumbs up.
"Good boy, my name is Wang Yunbing, you should call me Fifth Grandpa. I heard that you only charged a little labor fee for the acquisition of Rhodiola Rosea this time, which shows that you are righteous child, today you can't bear to see a few of us old men walking in the forefront, which means that you are benevolent and righteous enough, it is not simple to be benevolent and righteous at such a young age! Guilan, this girl really gave birth to a good son! ”
Zhou Yu smiled wryly, looking embarrassed.
Led by a few veteran hunters, the plank-paved path finally stretched to the north slope. The crowd let the hounds pass first, and then the large army slowly passed the terrifying path.
Niutougou is deep in the mountains, and the north slope of the mountains is abrupt and strange. As far as the eye can see, there are endless coniferous forests, with a few hazelnut trees scattered in the middle, and some weeds grow sparsely underground, and the mountain wind blows, and the whole mountain forest makes a "whooshing" sound, giving people a feeling of cold and seeping.
In the middle of the northern slope there is a narrow stream formed by a mountain spring, and from time to time there is a "quacking" sound on both sides of the stream.
Everyone didn't leave at this time, gathered around a big bluestone, took out the prepared dry food, and began to prepare lunch.
It is worthy of being hunters, almost all of the meat brought by everyone is meat, roe deer meat, pheasant meat, hare meat, Zhou Yu also hurriedly put the cut rabbit meat, shallots and pancakes on the big bluestone, and everyone devoured it. Zhou Yu had a large piece of wild boar in his left hand and a pheasant leg in his right hand, and he was very happy to eat.
Ten minutes later, this simple but hearty lunch ended. After all, people are here to work, not to travel.
After a brief cleaning, some of the people prepared the nets for catching forest frogs, while the rest of the people picked up their shotguns and led the hounds to keep watch around them. This is deep in the old forest, and there is no room to let your guard down in the slightest.
Before coming, the people of Quantun have discussed, and catching forest frogs is a collective wealth project in Quantun, and the labor force of the whole village is divided into two waves, one wave digging Rhodiola and one wave of catching forest frogs, and the money from the sale is divided equally among all families in Quantun. Zhou Yu also agrees with this approach, so everyone can get benefits, it is better than one person to go east and west.
Dozens of people who catch forest frogs slowly move small in a fan shape, and the person in charge of guarding leads the hound behind him to do the vigilance. A large group of people and dogs began a vigorous frog hunt. As the crowd moved, a large number of forest frogs could be seen jumping in the forest.
Zhou Yu was dumbfounded, before he came, Zhou Yu thought that as long as he could catch a hundred and ten forest frogs, even if he didn't come in vain, now he looks at this one hundred and ten, even thousands and tens of thousands, God, I really let myself pick up the treasure.
"That Xiaoyu, can this forest frog really be sold for more than ten yuan a piece? Why do I think this is unreliable? Wang Yunbing, the fifth grandfather standing next to him, asked.
"Fifth grandfather, don't worry, although I haven't contacted the buyer yet, but the wild forest frog can definitely be sold at this price, if no one buys me to pay the bill, I guarantee that everyone will not waste a day's efforts."
Wang Yunbing smiled and shook his head, "Child, don't measure everything with money, you have to pay attention to your conscience in everything, don't say that you have helped Xiao Wangzhuang find a way to make a fortune, even if you don't have that today, you are still good for everyone, who do you say can blame you with a clear conscience?" This kind of thing can't be done by our little Wangzhuang's masters. If these forest frogs really can't be sold, let's take them home and try them, and we can improve our lives. ”
Zhou Yu nodded, feeling a lot more relaxed inexplicably. I was really in a hurry this time, and I started to catch the forest frog before I even contacted the buyer, what if no one bought it? I can only buy it with my own money, although I have made some small money, but I can't help but be corrupted like this.
