Vol 2 Chapter 258: Hunting

Zhang Guoqing got up early in the morning and ran to the yard to sweep the snow. He almost opened his voice and said loudly for us people. I am so happy today.
Thinking of waiting for a while, I can go hunting in the mountains, and the iron catalpa is so fast.
Today, except for Zhang Guoqiang who is at work, the men in the family have to go up the mountain to bring dry food. At this time, Mother Zhang was lying on the bed, and when she heard the sweeping outside, she knew that her old son had gotten up.
She quickly opened the quilt and hurriedly dressed.
Father Zhang was awakened by her, "What hurry, take your time. It's still early."
"You lie down, I'm looking for my old son."
Father Zhang sat up, waking up, and the old son got up at five o'clock, and followed his wife to get up. The couple smiled when they heard the door opening of the side room.
In the bedroom, Zhou Jiao began to organize the dry food and clothing that Zhang Guoqing had brought. Although he said that he would stay two nights at most, he still needs to have everything he needs to bring with him just in case. Such as wound medicine, antipyretics, etc.
Last night, the little wives next door had a chat with her too late. The situation outside her feet was blackened, and she didn't know if she could do some small business now.
As soon as Zhang Guoqing came in, Zhou Jiao pulled him into the bedroom.
After listening, Zhang Guoqing shook his head repeatedly. If he really wants to sell couplets, his wife must not be exhausted.
She only relies on her to write big characters, and she will be guilty if something goes wrong in the end. If his father-in-law knew that he had a baby bump, he would be so tired of writing such a penny couplet, he would have to scold him to death.
Zhang Guoqing looked at her eyes and couldn't bear to refuse. He turned aside his gaze, and said softly, "Jiaojiao, your heart is good. It's unpredictable.
Maybe you made money, you warned, but Lin Juhua said not strictly? If we can miss something, we can miss something. If there is a problem, the two of us have to work hard and pay, and we can't ask for it. "
Zhang Guoqing hugged her and whispered: "They have money in their hands. Sister-in-law saved a lot of money in private. Sister, I am grateful to her by listening to your subsidy. If the boss and the second have arranged work, we will not It must be arrogant. People's greed cannot be cultivated, nor can people rely on us."
After saying that he sat on the kang with her, pretending to be annoyed and teased her, "Jiaojiao, I have become a little white face to eat soft food. I found that one month's salary is not enough for the daughter-in-law and son."
"Haha...little white face. Can I still support my son and me with one month's salary? The eldest sister said that a female worker in her factory supports more than 20 yuan a month and supports five younger brothers and sisters in the countryside. I see you pay back every month. There will be extras. Don’t hide your eyes with me, this time you plan to catch valuable animals. If you come back with some injuries, let’s see how I can clean you up."
Zhang Guoqing watched her talk more and more nervously, and quickly patted her comfortingly, "I'm not stupid. But a good day is just to suffer? I went to play this time. Safety first. Even the valuables are shared by everyone. I know it in my heart."
Zhou Jiao nodded after listening. She also just raised a mouth. Believe that he knows the importance. Seeing that it was not early, he pushed him away, pointed to the things on the table, and explained to him what it did.
After breakfast, when they heard the notification from the horn, Father Zhang and the others brought hunting tools such as the hunting wooden warehouse, carrying bamboo baskets to meet up with Uncle Zhang and Uncle Zhang.
Except for Zhou Jiao, who was in confinement, all the members of the third room of the old Zhang family were dispatched, and men, women, children and men rushed to the village drying field.
On the drying field, all the old and young stood all around, and all the men who went up the mountain stood in the middle. The old captain stood on the mound with gongs and drums in front.
Everyone was waiting for everyone to arrive, and the drums rang, and they started going up the mountain.
The old captain saw the tall men of the old Zhang family from a distance, and he couldn't even close his mouth happily.
After more than ten minutes, he saw all the people gathered, and repeatedly told everyone to take precautions when going up the mountain, so that everyone could be safe. Uncle Zhang led the team up the mountain.
After a burst of gongs and drums, amidst the cheers of the villagers, Uncle Zhang led the men from Zhangjia Village to the foot of the Daqing Mountain.
Meeting the men from the two neighboring villages who had been waiting for a long time, nearly 400 people divided into several teams and set off towards Daqingshan.
Zhang Guoqing led the team with an old hunter. At the back, Zhang Qingshan manages the team at the end of the team, and Zhang Qingya guards the middle. There are about fifty people in the entire team.
In the group, apart from the males from the old Zhang family, there are also males in each village in their twenties. There are still a few wolfhounds around—this is the team most hopeful of bringing back prey from the three villages.
There are teams led by Uncle Zhang and several old hunters on the north and south sides, ready to meet each other.
When halfway up the mountain, the teams split into three paths.
According to the agreement, the three-way team advances and retreats together, and immediately supports them when they hear the whistle.
Before dark, everyone will rush back to the hillside of the mountain for the night.
Listening to Uncle Zhang's arrangement: Several old hunters, holding hounds in hand, hung their whistles, and led the group cautiously to further the mountain.
Halfway through the mountain, we arrived at the site of the big game.
This is the destination of this hunt. Going further in is the mountains, and no one dared to bring so many people in this time.
The farther inside, the dense forest, the ground is overgrown with weeds, the person leading the way in front must use a hatchet to make a path.
There is no way to go hunting without physical strength. When walking in the mountains and forests, you must pay attention to the surrounding movement and carry the prey back and forth.
Seeing that the people behind couldn't keep up with the team, the old hunter found a creek nearby, and began to take the first few people with him, and set up traps here, hoping to gain something on the way back.
Zhang Guoqing felt a burst of excitement from the moment he entered Daqingshan. Looking at the distant mountains in my memory, I wanted to go in and have a look around.
He remembered that the last time he picked ginseng was not far away. At that time, he didn't know medicinal materials. If he remembered correctly, there would be Ganoderma lucidum in the first line of heaven.
Waiting for the people in the back team to keep up, the old hunter saw the big movement, don't expect to get something, let Zhang Guoqing start to tell everyone about the main hunting matters.
Zhang Guoqing knew that many of the team had never hunted. He really wants to talk about the main points-this is what the old captain said several times and entrusted him.
Wait for everyone to calm down. Zhang Guoqing began to demonstrate to them: how to take light steps in the mountains and forests, and pay attention to every branch around you, every leaf under your feet, and not to disturb the animals. Many animals are more sensitive and timid than humans. A little change will run.
Then Zhang Guoqing talked about the importance of wind direction when hunting.
Because many animals are very sensitive to smell. Smelling things that are not of the same kind runs very fast. If you really want to encounter those who can't run, they are all big beasts and they are very dangerous.
It is also very useful to hunt prey in the direction of the wind. For example, it is more difficult and closer to hit a wild boar downwind than against the wind. Many times when people are in the wind, the pig's head can be seen sniffing upwards, and the wild boar's vision is very poor. If you don't move, it won't notice it.
After talking about this, he began to talk about the animals in the mountains, roughly like wild boar, wild deer, spores and other different time habits.
For example, if the wild boar is in a group, it is called a group of pigs. This kind of courage is small and easy to be scared. When they are full, they will appear in the woods at dusk and rest and play by the creek. When frightened and fleeing, the direction is always the same, and in the end they will all gather together.
There is also an old pig weighing seven or eight hundred catties that moves alone. Please be careful when encountering this. This is the lone pig, very aggressive. When you see people and animals, you will arch forward. People say "one pig, two bears, and three tigers"-referring to this kind of pig.
Pay special attention to wild boars, and be careful not to approach them immediately. Let's take a look at the state of the pig first. The dead wild boar is lying flat on the ground, with all four hooves outstretched. A pig with four hooves will lie down, and when you walk in, it will jump up and fight with you.
Having said that, seeing everyone's concentration, he smiled and said, there is also a common silly roe deer, they jump and run the fastest, but they will look back when they are stupid. Sometimes I'm so scared, I'm the least courageous. In early winter, I like to eat green grass in the ditch and creek.
Zhang Guoqing saw that everyone was willing to listen, and he immediately talked about red deer.
In early winter, the red deer often drink from the mountains to the river after the sun rises, and they always like to walk on the same road. Everyone should pay attention to the animal footprints along the way.
Secondly, wolves often move around where people live, and they also like to walk on the paths that people often walk. When everyone returned at night, they often followed behind secretly.
They don't have the guts to attack, this is their observation and temptation. Let everyone not be afraid, stay calm, don't shout, and don't provoke it. Usually look back, they will run away;
Blind bears usually start to hibernate in sheltered caves in winter. Occasionally, keep away from it, and nothing will happen; foxes often catch small animals by the river.
Finally, when following their team, it is best to find obvious signs and general directions. If you get lost, don't move if you don't have a direction, and wait for someone to find him where you are. They are a team, everyone remembers who is there, and immediately informs everyone if they are missing.
The old hunter laughed loudly after listening, "You should remember what Xiaowu said. This is an old experience that you can't hear. We must remember that safety is the first priority. Don't chase after wild animals. Encounter Don’t yell at the assault. Okay, let’s go. For now, watch your steps lightly."
Seeing that he was going to really go hunting in the mountains, Zhang Guoqing put down the basket, took a straw rope and tied it to his waist, with a hatchet stuck in his waist. Touch the dagger on the calf, put the basket on your back, and try to reach back and touch the bow. In his left hand is a broken bag full of stones, and both hands hold small stones.
After he was ready, he looked at his elder brother who was waiting behind him~EbookFREE.me~ and watched his elder brother smile at him, thinking that he could still protect him.
Walking beside the old hunter and protecting his eldest brother in it, Zhang Guoqing fell into a state. Except for the barking of dogs, a slight change in the distance can be heard clearly.
The poisonous snake not far away was entrenched, and he gently threw a stone past, the snake head was bloody. The old hunter gave him a thumbs-up and made a gesture. He opened the way and let Zhang Guoqing take care of the surroundings.
The old hunter and the group came to the front of the woods, gently touching the footprints of the animals on the ground.
Zhang Guoqing knew at a glance that he was looking for pigs. If I remember it correctly, I heard it right, not far away, there will be a group of wild boars looking for food in the soil.
He didn't say anything to remind him, as long as he brought the team to safety this time, he would go to work. As for wild animals, there is no shortage of Daqingshan. It was the Lingzhi from the sky that made him remember. I don't know if there is a chance to pass this time. Not to mention selling money, it's good to make up Jiaojiao.
After staying in Daqingshan for two days and one night, Zhang Guoqing saw that his son's full moon was approaching, and Zhou Jiao had to die if he didn't go back. Seeing that there were several other teams injured, Zhou Jiao let him use up all the medicine.
Zhang Guoqing ran to discuss with Uncle Zhang, and accept it as soon as he sees it. Many of the bodies who entered the mountain for the first time were almost unable to stand it up, and the whole team was still going back in the cold weather.
Uncle Zhang saw that everyone was in a panic, and after consulting with the leaders of the other two villages, he asked everyone their opinions. The minority obeys the majority. Finally, everyone is willing to return with a rewarding experience.
Zhang Guoqing led the team down the mountain with excitement. Once at the foot of the mountain, he and the old captain reported that the village was back safely. No matter how many wild animals should be allocated, he dragged his eldest brother away first. How much gains the two brothers will have can be determined by seeing Zhou Jiao first.
