Rare good weather, the sun is extraordinarily bright, early in the morning, there are people who go out to bask in the sun, such good weather, it is a good time to go shopping, not to mention that today is still a holiday day, presumably the business of the clothing store will be very good.

didn't wait too long, and after a while, Xiao Jinfeng came over in a jeep, followed by a pickup truck.

The pickup truck is good for prey, and the prey that is hit when the time comes, you can use the pickup truck to load it back.

Seeing that the car was parked on the side of the road, Gao Mingcheng said to Gao Guobing: "Uncle, you take Brother Xiao's car, and I'll drive that pickup truck." ”

Gao Guobing nodded, and said, "Wait a minute, I have to pick up a few people, you just follow behind our car." ”

So the driver who was in charge of driving the pickup truck jumped out of the car and changed to Gao Mingcheng to drive.

This pickup truck, Gao Mingcheng had driven before, and it was very easy to drive, he followed behind the jeep in front of him, and went to pick up a few more people, one of whom was sitting in his car.

"The people here are here, they can go to the forest farm, and there are a few people waiting on the forest farm." Someone said.

The forest farm is a little far away from the city, it takes more than 40 minutes to drive, and when you get to the forest farm, the mountain road is difficult to walk, so the car stops at the foot of the mountain.

In the forest farm here, Gao Mingcheng had only been here once in his previous life, and now that he had returned to his hometown, he couldn't help but look left and right.

The forest farm is very large, and the main cash crops planted are fir trees, masson pine, camellia trees, tea trees, etc., and the industries here include cutting pine resin, picking tea seeds, making tea, and cutting down fir trees for sale.

In normal times, it is necessary to plant trees and protect forests.

It's already mid-November, and the forest farm has nothing to do, and the workers of the forest farm have entered their leisure time.

They went hunting with Gao Guobing, as well as the first and second leaders of the forest farm, who were most familiar with the forest farm and also had a group of hunting dogs.

When Gao Mingcheng and the others first arrived, the group of hunting dogs barked at Gao Mingcheng and the others, and that appearance was strange and fierce.

However, the hound was well raised, and as soon as the owner gave the order, the dog's barking gradually subsided, and then it was gone.

"Chen Ju, Gao Ju, you are finally here, welcome welcome." The person in charge of the forest farm stepped forward with a smile, and he greeted Chen Ju first, because Chen Ju is the director of the Forestry Bureau, and the forest farm is a direct unit of the Forestry Bureau.

This hunting operation, Gao Guobing's brother-in-law also came, and he also worked in the Forestry Bureau, and came with the Chen Bureau.

When the people arrived, they did not rush to greet at the foot of the mountain, but began to climb the mountain, and while walking, the person in charge of the forest farm introduced the situation of the forest farm to everyone.

The area of the forest farm is very large, and there are naturally all kinds of wild animals breeding in it, and in the deep mountains, there are also many wild fruit trees, and the fruits of these wild fruit trees are for birds and beasts to eat.

"There are a lot of chestnuts in this mountain, the taste is sweet and powdery, but unfortunately the chestnuts are not easy to preserve, and they are gone now, but there is a special species in our forest farm, that is, the fragrant tree!"

When it comes to the citron, the person in charge of the forest farm is quite proud.

It is a rare and healthy dried fruit and woody oil tree species unique to China, with high cultivation economic value and good ecological landscape benefits.

Because of the scarcity and high nutritional value, the citron seeds are very expensive.

Gao Mingcheng is no stranger to the citron, after all, he has bought and eaten many times in his previous life, and in the next county, there is a large area of wild citron trees, and even in 14 years, it was rated as the hometown of Chinese citron.

But there are also fragrant trees in his own county, and this is the first time he knows about it.

So he asked about the citron trees in the forest farm, and then learned that although there were in the forest farm, there were only three or five trees, and they were in a very deep location, because of the geographical location, it was inconvenient for people to go into the mountains to pick, and the number was scarce, and it was impossible to form an industrial forest.

The group chatted while entering the mountains, but fortunately, most of the people who went into the mountains to hunt were in good physical condition, and they walked quickly all the way.

When passing by a large pine forest, Gao Mingcheng saw that among these pine trees, the big ones were shoveling bark, hanging bags, and opening oil roads, and in the bags at the bottom, there were already a lot of pine resin stored.

The person in charge of the forest farm said by the way: "It's already November, this is the last batch of pine resin this year, and then we can't cut it again, we have to wait until April next year to start cutting." ”

Everyone nodded, the temperature was too low to affect the resin harvest, and the pine trees also needed time to recuperate.

Passing through this pine forest, there is a cedar forest, and these trees look very neatly grown, because most of them were planted by hand decades ago, and if you continue to walk inside, there are wild tree species.

When you get to the woods, the wildlife is much more visible, because it's only here that you can find enough food to eat.

After walking for more than an hour, the group reached the range where they could hunt.

Next, it is up to the hounds to sniff and find the wild boars, and among the people present, everyone is wearing a gun, some are pistols, some are shotguns, and the person in charge of the forest farm is holding a shotgun, which they are used to staying in the forest farm and using a shotgun.

As for Gao Mingcheng, he used a pistol.

Originally, he decided to use a javelin, but the weather was bad a few days ago, and he was too lazy to go back to the village to get it, so the gun he used was arranged for him by Gao Guobing.

Its practical pistol is also good, the maverick of the province.

Gao Mingcheng's true force value was not intended to be shown to everyone, so when he was hunting in Niuweiling, he was always alone and did not bring other helpers.

A group of hounds were busy in the mountains and forests, and finally they found the freshest scent, barked at the person in charge of the forest farm, and then ran quickly forward.

The person in charge of the forest farm immediately said: "We have found a herd of wild boars, there are many of us, and when the time comes, we will unite with the hounds to surround and hunt the herd of wild boars." ”

At this time, there is no wildlife protection law, and most people do not have the awareness to protect wild animals, and when they heard that they have found traces of wild boars, everyone is excited.

Those with shotguns have already begun to put gunpowder, steel balls, and iron sand, and those who use pistols have also opened the insurance, and as for the bullets, they have been prepared before departure.

It's just that they were just getting ready, and they only heard a sound, and it turned out that the wild boar herd noticed something strange and ran away!

The barking of the dog suddenly sounded, and it quickly chased after it, but it was to no avail.

Although I was a little disappointed, I also knew that this was normal, wild boars were alert, and most of the wild boars foraged at night, and a few foraged during the day.

Then, everyone continued to follow the hounds all over the mountains looking for the traces of their prey.

Not only wild boars, but also some other small animals here, Gao Mingcheng saw the traces of hares from time to time, but they moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they jumped into the woods and grass.

Gao Mingcheng found that compared with the animals in the forest farm, the animals on the other side of Niuwei Ridge seemed to be better hunting.

The mountains are far away, and ordinary villagers don't have the strength and time to enter the mountains, so the animals in the mountains have little knowledge and are a little simple.

The animals in this forest farm are accustomed to seeing people, but they are afraid that the people in the forest farm will also go into the mountains to hunt from time to time, so as soon as the animals notice something blowing, they will slip away.

Suddenly, someone fired a shot, and the sudden sound of the gun made everyone look sideways.

It was Chen Ju who shot him, and he hit a yellow muntjac in the hind leg, although he was shot and fell to the ground, but Huang Muntjac seemed to want to struggle to get up.

"Chen Ju is good marksmanship, and he is off to a good start!" The person in charge of the forest farm immediately touted it, and took the initiative to pick up prey for Chen Ju.

Chen Ju looked at the prey he had hit, and he was also quite proud.

Gao Guobing also praised Chen Ju's good marksmanship, but then, he suggested that everyone should simply disperse and look for opportunities.

Otherwise, a group of people stay together, and the movement of walking and talking is too loud, which is easy to arouse the alertness of the prey.

This idea was approved by everyone, there were no more beasts in the mountains, most of the snakes and insects hibernated, and everyone carried guns, so they were naturally full of confidence.

Seeing this, the person in charge of the forest farm immediately said: "That's okay, these hunting dogs listen to me and Lao Song, now I and Lao Song are separated, each with two or three dogs, and then I will follow Chen Ju and Zhao Chief, and Lao Song Ling will follow Gao Ju and them." ”

Gao Guobing has no opinion on this arrangement, he is also competitive, and he wants to hit the prey as soon as possible, and he said before that he would hunt a wild boar to hold a birthday banquet for Xiao Xuxu.

After Chen Ju and the others left first, Gao Mingcheng said to Gao Guobing: "Uncle, Brother Xiao, you can go together, I can do it alone." ”

Gao Guobing frowned, and when he was about to speak, Gao Mingcheng had already said: "Uncle, in Niuweiling, I went into the mountains to hunt alone, I am used to being alone, you can rest assured, besides, even if I don't catch the prey, I can't be in danger." ”

These words persuaded Gao Guobing, so Gao Guobing nodded and said: "Okay, you pay attention to safety, at noon, it is best for everyone to meet, and then you can eat something in the mountain, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, you will prepare to go down the mountain." ”

Gao Mingcheng remembered the time, and then separated from Gao Guobing.

He chose a direction to walk alone.

Without the black tiger and elves tracking the prey for him, it is not an easy task to find the prey in this strange mountain forest.

But Gao Mingcheng was not in a hurry, he followed his feelings and kept moving forward, and after distancing himself from others, he ran up wildly and quickly ran towards the deep mountains.

Although he is not assisted by a hunting dog, he is in good physical condition, and as long as he goes deeper into the mountains, he will naturally have more chances to find prey.

He ran all the way, while looking at the surrounding environment, there are many cedar trees, camphor trees, pine trees and other tree species in the mountain, and there are some low shrubs and vines, Gao Mingcheng found that on a hillside, there is a big kudzu vine!

The kudzu vine was the thickness of an adult's arm, and the vine climbed up a tree, and the leaves were already yellow.

Gao Mingcheng stretched out his hand to touch the kudzu vine, thinking to himself, after the kudzu root under this ground is dug out, there will be at least more than 20 catties!

The wild kudzu in the mountains is also called chai kudzu, and the powder yield is not high, but such kudzu powder is authentic.

Gao Mingcheng thought that he was going to make a batch of arrowroot powder this year, so he decided to wait for Xiao Xuxu's first birthday banquet to find a good weather to go back to the village and go into the mountains to dig kudzu.

He continued to walk forward, and saw some kudzu roots, but most of them had been eaten by the wild boar's rising soil.

Gao Mingcheng stopped in front of a piece of dirt, which was very fresh, it should have been dug up, and there was also a piece of fresh wild boar manure next to it.

He followed the trails and walked all the way forward.

As a result, I did not see the wild boar, but I saw a gray-haired hare, which was grazing with its head down, and at the same time it was vigilant about its surroundings, and its ears moved from time to time.

Gao Mingcheng immediately stopped, no longer making a sound, and then he took out the dagger pinned to his waist, and after aiming, the dagger came out of his hand.

With a "grab" sound, when the sound of breaking the air started, and the rabbit was alert to escape, the dagger had already pierced the hare's head.

Killed with one blow, although the gray-haired rabbit lost its life, Gao Mingcheng got the rabbit meat!

After getting the first kill, Gao Mingcheng was in a good mood, he carried the rabbit and continued to walk forward, this rabbit is not qualified to let him use a gun, in case the gunfire alarms the nearby wild boars, it will be worth the loss.

As soon as he thought so, a gunshot rang out in the mountain forest, and then, the silent forest just now immediately made a lot of movements, birds and beasts left, and a yellow muntjac also ran out of its hiding place.

Gao Mingcheng saw that the yellow muntjac was not small, so he simply left it, he quickly pulled out the gun, aimed, and a gunshot rang out, and the bullet shot out of the chamber and hit the head of the yellow muntjac.

The yellow muntjac fell to the ground, and the birds and beasts around him were even more panicked, and in the blink of an eye, they fled cleanly.

Gao Mingcheng picked up his prey, knowing that it was difficult to find other prey in this place.

He lifted the yellow muntjac in one hand and the hare in the other, changed directions, and continued to walk forward.

People walk in the dense forest, but they feel good.

It is a good time to go into the mountains to hunt in early winter, when there are fewer mosquitoes in the mountains, most of the poisonous snakes are hibernating, and some annual weeds have also withered, and they are no longer so lush to block your path.

Gao Mingcheng didn't pay attention to which way he was going, until he saw a tall fragrant tree, and then he knew that he had come here.

He stood on the slope and looked at the fragrant tree from afar, which was in a beautiful shape, and there were some green fruits hanging from the tree.

But these fruits cannot be picked, because the fruit of the citron tree is very special, it sprouts new fruit every year, but it takes three years for the fruit to ripen and pick.

In other words, there are three kinds of fruits hanging on the tree at the same time.

You can't hit the fruit on the branch with a bamboo pole, you have to climb the tree to pick the ripe fruit, so as to ensure the fruit yield of the next year.

Therefore, you get what you pay for, and if the price is high, there must be a reason.

Gao Mingcheng originally only planned to admire it from a distance, but he found that the fruit hanging on the tree was ripe!

Then he thought that although the person in charge of the forest farm had introduced the tree to them just now, he did not say that he would pick the tree, nor did he take out the tree to entertain everyone.

Think about it again, this fragrant tree is in the deep mountains, and it is very troublesome to pick fragrant trees, but I am afraid that the people in the forest farm will not come to pick them.

Since he had encountered it, Gao Mingcheng immediately threw the prey on the ground and prepared to climb the tree to show his skills.

I saw him climb the tree like an ape.

There are three kinds of fruits hanging on the tree, large, medium and small, and the big ones are the ones that can be picked this year.

Generally speaking, the champhinaw is picked from September to October, but because no one picks it, some are hanging from the trees and some are falling from the ground.

Gao Mingcheng relied on his dexterity to quickly climb to this hundred-year-old citron tree and began to pick the citron seeds, the age of the citron tree is very high, it can live to be more than 500 years old, and the mature fragrant tree must be at least 100 years old.
