The wood cut down in the forest farm, when the spring water grows, will use the river water to tie the wood into a raft and rush downstream, there is a railway in the downstream of the river, and a small locomotive, which is specially used to transport wood, the situation here is very similar to the famous novel "Lin Hai Snow Field" described in the "Jiapi Ditch", "Jiapi Ditch" is indeed a place in the Northeast, Tuanshanzi's forest farm also has a similar place name, called "Huangpizi Tomb", this place name sounds very mysterious, but even the old hunter of Yanzi her father, I can't tell the ins and outs of this place name, but they all say that there are a lot of yellow skins around here, Huang Tai Sin made a lot of trouble a long time ago, and now no one mentions it, and yellow skin is a common name for weasels by the locals.

Although the Tuanshanzi Forest Farm is simple and remote, it is inseparable from the socialist construction, so we have to brave the wind and snow to come here on duty, but to be honest, there is nothing serious to do in the winter forest farm, the only thing that needs to be cooked is to go downstream of the river to help send the last small train to transport wood.

This forest farm has a row of birch wooden houses, in spring and summer, there are lumberjacks working and living here, due to the limited transportation capacity, cut down more trees can not be transported, so whenever they complete the production task, almost around the Mid-Autumn Festival, they will leave the forest farm to go home for the New Year, then the forest farm will be taken care of by the nearest ganggang camp.

Before we arrived, the forest farm was guarded by the old man and his granddaughter, a girl named "Thrush", and according to the arrangement of the village party secretary, we should replace them, but when we arrived, we found that something was very wrong in the forest farm, the forest keeper's cabin was empty, and the ashes in the hearth were cold without a trace of heat, and we did not see the grandfather and grandson.

I could not help but be worried for them, and hurriedly searched the forest farm with my two companions, but there was still no trace, and I became more and more uneasy, and said to the fat man and the swallow: "The weather is too cold this year, and there is no warning beforehand, I am afraid that the wild beasts in the mountains will also catch up with the winter famine, will the old man and his granddaughter be taken away by evil beasts such as lynx?" ”

The hunting dogs in the tunzi were all taken into the mountains by the hunters to hunt, so we didn't bring the hunting dogs, now the wind and snow are combined, the mountains near Tuanshanzi are high and dense, the terrain is complex, and the flying snow covers the traces of people and beasts, even if we have a hundred and ten people to look for them, we may not be able to find them, not to mention that there are only three of us at the moment. The fat man and I were thinking about going back to Tunzi to move the rescuers, but suddenly it occurred to us that there was no one to find in the tunzi, and we were still young at that time, and we were helpless for a while.

Or the swallow is careful, she looked carefully in the cabin again, there is still some grain and dried meat left in the house, the old man's shotgun and the horn pot filled with gunpowder iron sand are not there, the hunter is the best at observing the clues, there are no traces of beasts in the cabin, things are also placed neatly, they seem to have played a lot of sticky cakes, there should be no accidents, maybe the old man knocked on the mountain took her granddaughter to hunt rabbits, or maybe he was worried about the heavy snow blocking the mountain, did not wait for us to replace, so he went back to Tunzi in advance, The old man has been hunting for decades and has a lot of experience, although he is old and not as dexterous as before, but since he carries a shotgun, as long as he does not meet the female bear who has just given birth halfway, there will be no accidents.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual in the forest farm, the three of us felt a little at ease, and the hunger and cold along the way were unbearable, and at this time everything important had to be thrown aside, and the most urgent task was to warm and fill the stomach, so we hurriedly burned the kang and baked the frozen and hard stickers on the wall of the stove, and ate them to satisfy our hunger. After the three of them were full, it was dark and dark, so they began to talk and relieve their boredom as usual, and took turns to blow according to the custom, and the fat man first talked about the story of suppressing bandits in the northeast before liberation, and he listened to his father say these things, and I have heard him tell it no less than ten times, and Yanzi heard this story for the first time, so he was very fascinated by it.

I saw the fat man's mouth foaming at the mouth, even the comparison said: the bandits who gather to plunder the people's property, in the northeast region is also called "Hu bandits" or "beard", it is said that the bandits are different from the mainland ringing horse thieves, they are self-contained, worship the ancestor is the late Ming Dynasty Phi Island general soldier "Mao Wenlong", after the Ming right deputy governor Yuan Chonghuan designed to kill Mao Wenlong, a large number of officers and soldiers under Mao Wenlong, respectively, lived on the northeast coastal islands or deep mountains, at the beginning of these people still regarded themselves as Ming officers and soldiers, not to do the work of fighting and robbing houses, but after a hundred years, With the increasing complexity of the personnel structure, it gradually evolved into a Hu bandit who harmed one party and did all kinds of evil, but until the liberation, the Hu bandits still respected Mao Wenlong as their ancestor.

These gangs of "Hu bandits" were later called "locks", and the names of each locks were different according to the different "trade names" reported by the leaders of each unit, such as "an iron whip", "flying on the grass", "mulberry big knife", "Feng Shuangxia" and so on.

Before the liberation, the number one Hu bandit in the Northeast, the leader was a bald head nicknamed "Covering the Sky", this person was a warrior monk in the temple when he was young, and he learned to practice hard kung fu in a copper cloth shirt, but he never grew hair after he was "vulgar", and "Covering the Sky" was ruthless, and his hands were stained with the blood of the cadres and the masses.

After the surrender of Japan, the Northeast carried out land reform, in order to defend the fruits of victory from being destroyed by bandits, the East General Assembly set up a special anti-bandit detachment, after a series of arduous and brutal battles, finally "covered the sky" of the bandits of the "four beams and eight pillars" were eliminated, "four beams and eight pillars" is a kind of organization name within the bandits, in addition to the big boss called "big cabinet", the rest of the so-called "four beams", respectively, there are "top beam", "corner beam", "Yingmen Liang", "ruthless beam", "eight pillars" is "strange", "hanging line" , "understand the bureau", "pass the number", "general urge", "water phase", "horse number", "account room" general name, as soon as these people are finished, the whole silk will be completely collapsed.

And the most critical figure in this "Four Beams and Eight Pillars" is the "Corner Beam", commonly known as "Mr. Tongsuan" in the Northeast, he is the military advisor of the entire Silk Tree, specializing in using some superstitious techniques to "push the eight gates", and decide the advance and retreat of the entire gang of bandits. Some superstitious locals rumored that this bandit leader saved Wong Tai Sin's life when he was young, and Wong Tai Sin protected him all his life, and he could borrow the soil to escape, even if he sent heavenly soldiers and generals, he wanted to catch him.

But there are strange things in the world, and the most taboo thing for the bandits is to mention the word "death", but this word can't be avoided if they don't mention it, and they don't have a good end in the end. Maybe "covering the sky" is full of evil, he should be exhausted, and there happened to be a rare "winter famine" in the mountains that year, and the people call such a year "dead year", Wong Tai Sin finally can't cover him.
