Anyone who grew up in a northern wooded area knows that there is a tradition of 'winter hunting'. In some places, large-scale 'winter fishing' is also carried out. Whether it is winter hunting or winter fishing, it is to obtain food in winter to improve the diet.

Staying in the garden as usual, I heard Daqing's warning cry again, and stayed in the Mushan River of Maodong in the residence, and I knew that someone was coming to the residence. He was not surprised by the situation.

In the vicinity of Wangyunling, although it has experienced logging, the time of felling has also been several years. The forest area where the garden is located is the demarcated forest area. Further on, the jungle is still lush and has not been designated as deforestation.

When hunting in the mountains in winter, you must first be able to find the prey hidden in the mountains. The vast majority of wild beasts hide in jungle areas far from human habitats. The vicinity of Wangyunling is undoubtedly a good hunting ground.

When he put on a cotton jacket and walked out of the warm residence, Mu Shanhe soon saw a group of people who appeared in front of the garden. Two people plus six dogs, to be exact. The dogs also showed excited expressions when they saw Daqing.

Seeing the Mu Shanhe who came clearly, he also took the initiative to walk out of the porch, and said with a smile: "Uncle De, Brother Kun, why are you?" ”

"Why can't it be us? Xiaoshanzi, I really didn't expect you to be alone, and you really dare to live in this mountain. ”

"What's this? Let's Tunzi, to put it bluntly, aren't we also in the mountains? With Daqing by my side, I think it's quite down-to-earth. ”

The person who came was Zhao Mingde, the hunter in Tunli, although he was not as famous as his grandfather, but he was also one of the few hunters in Tunli who had hunted several bears. And the young man next to him is his son Zhao Yikun, who works on the forest farm.

For many people who go into the mountains to hunt, they often like to bring the people they trust the most. Because during the hunt, no one knows what accidents will happen. Only a brother or father and son can truly trust completely.

For people who don't have a deep friendship, if they really encounter a dangerous situation, their companions often choose to run away. When faced with the test of life and death, anyone is often afraid. Abandoning one's companions and running away is not new in the woods.

On the contrary, it is brothers or fathers and sons who hunt together, and they will fight together when they are in danger. And Zhao Mingde brought his son with him, which is also a kind of inheritance. As an Orion, Zhao Mingde also hopes that his son can become a veteran like him!

Walking under the porch and looking at the smoked meat hanging above his head, Zhao Mingde was also curious: "This is?" ”

"Wild boar, there was a wild boar the other day who wanted to come and harm the garden. As a result, I accidentally fell into the pit I dug. After two shots were made, I ate some of them, and the rest was all smoked meat, and I hung it up and ate it slowly. ”

"Yes! It seems that I should have learned a lot from your grandfather earlier. Are you planning to go into the mountains these days? ”

Faced with the inquiry, Mu Shanhe shook his head and said, "Still not going!" Although I shot well, now only Daqing is left in the house. And at my age, I went into the mountains to hunt, and let Grandpa Mu know that I was afraid that he would whip me with a shoehorn. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Mingde laughed and said, "It seems that you kid is quite sensible." Hunting in the mountains is not child's play, and when you really come of age, I believe that the village chief will not say anything. Uh, big black, what are you doing? ”

Just when the two were chatting, Zhao Mingde found that his head dog was staring at the wooden house near his residence and barking, and even found a threatening sound. This strange behavior somewhat surprised and curious Zhao Mingde.

Mu Shanhe, who saw this scene, smiled and said, "Uncle De, pull them aside!" A few days ago, I picked up two bobcat cubs on the side of Erdaoling. Seeing that they are pitiful, they have been kept for a long time! ”

"Ahh Do you still have bobcats? Isn't that thing fierce? ”

"It's fine! When I picked them up, it was probably just a full moon. When he first picked it up, Da Qing was the same as Da Hei. After a long time, they can finally live in peace. There are lynx staring, and not a single mouse in the garden can't be seen. ”

"That's right! However, raising this kind of cat cub is afraid that you have to feed meat, right? ”

"Ok! Every few days, I would go to the market and buy some meat from the market to feed. Now, feed them some coarse food, too. In addition to the two bobcats, there are also one big, two and three foxes in the cabin over there! ”

"Hey, you're really willing!"

Zhao Yikun, who was standing next to him and never interjected, also rarely smiled and joked. In his eyes, both lynx and fox are prey. But feeding is undoubtedly quite cumbersome and expensive.

poured two cups of hot water for the father and son, and Mu Shanhe also said in a timely manner: "Uncle De, if there is nothing to do, wait for me to come and eat." This weather gnawed on dry food, and finally choked on panic. Although there are no good dishes, there are still hot soups and hot rice. ”

"Forget it, it's a lot of time to go back and forth. However, if you live here, you can really spend the night if you come here to hunt in the future. Can I go in and have a look at your house? ”

"What's that? My room is still quite warm inside. ”

While speaking, Mu Shanhe also took the initiative to open the wooden door, and a hot air came to his face. Zhao Mingde and his son, who followed into the residence, also felt a little incredible when they saw that there was a fire kang inside.

Said directly: "This kang, you built it yourself?" ”

"Hmmm! I was going to come here to guard the garden, so I figured out how to spend the winter. If I don't have a fire, I'm really afraid I won't be able to stand it. This kang is not big, but the heat is still quite enough. It's hot to sleep in the summer, but it's absolutely comfortable to lie down in the winter. ”

"Shanzi, you also made these tables, chairs and benches yourself?"

"Yes, Brother Kun. How? I'm okay with this craft, right? ”

"I really didn't expect that your kid still has this craft, and he learned it from the shepherd?"

"Sort of! I've seen a lot of it before, although I haven't done it myself. But after moving here, I have a lot of time every day. The ones that are not done are burned as firewood, and these are all things that I have done after I have done them, and I think they are okay and keep them. ”

Although the area of the house is much larger than that of an ordinary nest, the temperature inside the house is indeed very warm. What really surprised Zhao Mingde and his son was that the house was very clean. There aren't many things, but it looks refreshing!

Thinking of the people in Tunli before, they were still worried about this helpless half-grown child, who didn't know what kind of hard life he had in the mountains. As a result, seeing the situation in the house, Zhao Mingde and his son felt that those people in the tun were afraid that they had underestimated the half-grown man in front of them.

If nothing else, when Mu Shanhe becomes an adult, I am afraid he will also be a good hand. As long as you don't lose your family, you won't have any problems when you sell those garden ginseng under the mountain and ask a girl with good conditions to start a family.

Because it was still early, the father and son did not stay in the garden for a long time, poured two pots of boiling water, and continued to lead the dog to the mountain in front. For father and son, they also plan to hunt a few more bears this winter.

Compared with previous years, the purchase stations of bear bile in the town and county have improved a lot. If you can hit a brass guts, Zhao Yikun, who is already twenty-two years old, can also consider finding a matchmaker to introduce him to a girl with good conditions.

Although the current wedding price is not as exaggerated as in later generations. But for people in forest areas, it is still a bit difficult to marry a girl with good conditions. Because girls with good conditions want to marry in the town or city.

If you want to compete with the young people in the town or city, then you can only marry a girl who is really good in the eyes of others by offering a relatively high dowry. If you want to make a lot of money, you can only find a way from the mountains.

Otherwise, Zhao Yikun, who usually works as a temporary worker in the forest farm, wants to save enough money to marry his daughter-in-law, but he doesn't know when he will have to wait!
