I wanted to ask Qianyong how long it would take us to cross the Hump Mountain, Qianyong said, "If this mountain road has not collapsed, I know a small road, we just need to continue walking for an hour or two to get there, but since the ancient Huashan road, the only road into the mountain has been buried by the loess, can not be crossed, detour, not to mention more than ten miles of mountain road, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up before dawn." ”

Walking in the mountains is not as good as the open terrain, although the landform of Hubei is quite flat (at least better than the terrain in the southwest), but deep in the mountains and old forests, it is inevitable that the night march will encounter danger, the old forests have been abandoned for more than ten years, and the wild beasts in the mountains have long been occupied, Qianyong said, the night may not be peaceful, the best way at the moment is to find a place to camp first.

Ge Zhuang was aggrieved, saying that the hundred-mile march was about to reach northern Shaanxi with great difficulty, and it was really unlucky to encounter this kind of trouble halfway!

I saw that this mountain road was difficult to walk, the sky was dark in a blink of an eye, and I knew that Qian Yong was not just talking about fun, so I had to accompany him to find a more hidden place nearby, and took out the camping tent that was carried up the mountain, and was about to find a suitable place to set up camp, Qian Yong pointed to the other direction of the mountain, telling us that half of the mountain is more open, he used to hunt with the old hunters in the mountains when he was a child, and I remember that there was a hunter's temporary shack not far ahead, and I don't know how many decades have passed, and it is still there.

Being able to live in a shack is naturally much easier than setting up our own tents, and we are on foot under the leadership of Qianyong. On the way, Qian Yong introduced us to the environment here, saying that before that trip, there used to be a forest farm in Lao Yaogou, and the forest farm workers took local materials and built many wooden sheds on the mountain, and then the forest farm closed down, but the sheds were reluctant to be demolished, so they stayed, and the old hunters of the mountains and forests rebuilt those wooden sheds, and when they went up the mountain to hunt, they would go to live for a while.

It is very dangerous to walk in the dark in the mountains, we have a wolf-eyed flashlight in our hands, walking very slowly, Ge Zhuang can't stand this environment the most, and scolds while walking, saying that the forest in this ghost place is denser than that of Yunnan, and we will be dizzy after walking for a short time, we won't get lost, right?

Qian Yong said no, he lived in Lao Yaogou since he was a child, and he only moved to the city more than ten years ago, so he was very familiar with the road conditions here, not to mention that on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang back then, he and Lao Zhong mainly fought jungle guerrilla warfare, and this distance was difficult for him.

Late autumn is full of fallen leaves, the ground accumulates a lot of rotten mud pits, we walk carefully, for fear that one will accidentally fall into it, but listen to Qianyong said, this climate is nothing, we are lucky, did not catch up with the harsh winter into the mountains, another month, it should snow here, then the climate in the mountains will only be more dangerous, some places are too deep snow, can drown people's knees, a careless fall into the snow pit, there will be the possibility of being buried alive.

This side does not belong to the north in the real sense, but the climate in the deep mountains is changeable, and it will snow in the harsh winter, so we found it in time, if it really enters the winter famine, even Qianyong does not dare to take people around.

After walking for almost half an hour, we came to the forest farm that Qian Yong said, and sure enough, as he said, in addition to the rows of small wooden houses built in the deep mountain jungle, because they have been abandoned for too long, no one has cleaned them, most of the wooden sheds have rotted, and they are crooked on the wooden Zhuangzi, and many of the wood have grown mold, and when you poke your fingers, they often collapse into a big pit, and the rotten wood is full of unknown insects and ants.

We searched along the abandoned forest farm for a long time, and finally found a wooden shack that was still intact, Chen Yun unloaded all the luggage and equipment, walked into the wooden shed to clean it briefly, and then built a bonfire in front of the wooden shed, and everyone sat on the ground around the bonfire, intending to survive tonight, and then march up the mountain tomorrow morning.

There is a lot of game in the mountains, and Ge Zhuang is a person who can't be idle, so as soon as he has the kung fu, he began to tinker with the * borrowed from Qianyong's family, and suggested to everyone, "Why don't you go out hunting before it's too late?" ”

Qianyong said goodbye, it was night, it was the time when the beasts in the mountains came out to look for food, there have always been wild wolves in the mountains, the villagers have not killed them several times, and now no one has lived in it for more than ten years, I am afraid that the wolves have already multiplied to a scale, we had better guard the fire and not move, so as not to get into trouble.

Ge Zhuang muttered his big lips and complained vigorously, saying that he was hungry and cold along the way, and he was miserable, and the fat man was also thinking about the organization, and wanted to hunt a few wild meats and give everyone a tooth sacrifice, why could no one understand the fat man's sincere heart?

Since he got the *, he has been itching in his heart, trying to find a place to try his marksmanship, I have been friends with Ge Zhuang for many years, it's not that I don't understand what he is thinking, shaking his head and smiling, "Fatty, we are not familiar with the environment, don't shoot rashly, lest the gunshots sound together, how do you know what will be invited?" ”

Lao Zhong said that it is exactly, the sound of gunfire will reveal our position, a single beast will be afraid of guns, but the wolves are not afraid, if we accidentally recruit the wild wolf, we will not be able to eat and go around.

This time, no one helped Ge Zhuang to talk, and the fat guy was really angry, and he stood up angrily and said, "Yes, the fat man is kind to be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, you are afraid of wolves, the fat man is not afraid, it is cold in the mountains at night, big sister, watch me perform a stunt for you in a while, how to peel the wolf skin to keep warm." ”

This dead fat man is very axed, and ten cows can't pull it back, so we can only let him carry a gun into the mountain, and when he leaves, Qianyong reminds him to be careful, don't go far. The fat man twisted his big ass and ran forward, and he didn't know if he heard it.

A few of us stayed to make a fire to make food, there were a lot of wild mushrooms in the mountains, Lao Zhong and Qianyong picked a large handful, with the help of the bonfire to distinguish the poisonous and non-poisonous, went to the shed to find a broken clay pot, and boiled fresh soup on the fire.

The staple food is still cold canned food, dried beef, and compressed biscuits for the march, this thing has high nutritional value, and you can carry hunger after eating, the only drawback is that it is dry and hard, and the taste is not good at all.

I took small sips of dried beef, and soon heard two gunshots in the woods, and I stood up in astonishment, and looked towards the place where the shots rang out, and the old bell said listlessly, "Don't warp, needless to say, it's the dead fat man's gun, and see what good things he can bring back." ”

I hurriedly put down the canned beef, sat by the campfire and waited, and after waiting for about ten minutes, I saw a big toad-like figure in the distance, carrying a wild beast out of the woods, panting as I walked, and shouted at me, "Little pumpkin, hurry up and take a hand, let's eat wolf meat tonight!" ”

Did this fat man really beat a wild wolf back?

The person who moves faster than me is Qian Yong, he immediately stood up when he heard this, and ran towards Ge Zhuang, the two of them muttered and walked back to the bonfire, Ge Zhuang threw the wild wolf on his shoulder to the ground, and said with a smile, "Great minds are always different from mortals, didn't you stop the fat man just now?" Don't eat meat! ”
