Chapter 59: take the dog into the mountains
Chapter 59 Bringing the dog into the mountains
Xu Shiyan, who was living a carefree life with his wife on the mountain, had no idea that the commotion in the village was going upside down.
I don't know what his mother said, which pierced his father's heart.
What Xu Shiyan has to do every day is to dig a hole.
Dig more pits, and put nail boards in places near the venue where thieves are easy to come in.
Not only digging holes, but also setting traps.
Large animal trap with sharp sawtooth, the kind that can break the legs even if a wild boar or a blind man is caught.
Of course, he wrote a sign near each clip to prevent people from touching it by mistake.
The clip is mainly to prevent wild animals, not to hurt people.
In a place farther away, the traps are used, the big ones use oil silk ropes, and the small ones use iron wires. This is purely for hunting.
Anyway, he stays on the mountain every day, just poking around these things, three layers of traps inside and outside surround the participants.
Whether it is a human or a beast, as long as you don't follow the right path and want to get close to the competition, you will bear the consequences.
Of course, at every intersection leading to the venue, there will be a sign with warning words written on it, reminding those who enter the mountain to be careful.
Not only that, the village also cooperated very much. Zhao Haihai specially used the big loudspeaker of the village to shout for several days, warning everyone not to approach the venue.
At the same time, Zhao Dahai also reported to the commune.
This is a new reference method, if it works well, it needs to be promoted throughout the commune.
Besides, I have to let other brigades know, don't run to Qianchuan's side.
The mountain is so big, there are so many good things elsewhere, why bother to come here to make trouble?
Anyway, the duty of reminding has been fulfilled. If someone has to risk his life and rush into this forest, he deserves it if he dies.
Don't say what is unreasonable or unreasonable, domineering or not.
Protecting the property of the whole village is a necessary means. It has been notified.
As for whether hunting is illegal or not? No need to think about this.
Nowadays, there are still many wild animals. In autumn, black and blind wild boars go into the fields to harm crops, and in winter, hungry wolves can enter villages to pick up children.
Now we are talking about animal protection? stop talking.
So Xu Shiyan is at ease and boldly digs the trap, not worried at all.
Paying will definitely pay off. These days, I have caught several hares and pheasants one after another. I also caught a small wild boar and two roe deer.
Life on the mountain has gradually become richer. There is meat in the bowl and oily water in the stomach. Su Anying's complexion is obviously better, and the whole person is plump.
Even those dogs ate well after Zhanguang'er, gradually became energetic, and became closer to Xu Shiyan.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Shiyan and his wife have been up the mountain for more than half a month.
The work in the ginseng field is almost the same. The sticks are planted, the ginseng seeds are sown, and the cold-proof soil is all finished.
Only the newly planted ginseng ground is left, and the pillars are smashed, and the ginseng shed can be made in the next spring.
November 7th was the beginning of winter, and the first snow of the year fell.
If it is placed on the ground, it will be only **** thick, and it will melt slowly when the sun rises, making it unable to stand.
But the mountains are different. The snow falls on the high mountains and the frost hits the depressions. The snow on the mountains is thicker, and the temperature is lower. The snow on the shady slopes does not see the sun, so it just stops.
It's snowing, and the sky and the earth are white, covering the dust and hustle and bustle, but it also makes some things show their traces.
"This snow is good. When the snow stops, you can take your dog into the mountains to hunt." In the evening, Xu Shiyan looked at the snowflakes flying outside and said happily.
"Are you going hunting? Why don't you just leave it? Isn't it good for us now? Hunting is very dangerous, don't hurt you."
When Su Anying heard that her husband was going to hunt, she couldn't help frowning, and said very worriedly.
"That's different. We're just waiting foolishly now, and it's up to God whether we have prey or not.
This mountain is so big, wild animals in the mountain cannot always rush to our side.
It’s winter, and those meats and other things can be put away. I’ll get some wild animals and eat them slowly. "Xu Shiyan knew that his wife was worried about him, so he explained patiently.
Not just for the bite, but more importantly, to find ways to make money.
It is true that there are work points to be earned when watching ginseng on the mountain, but with that little work point, it is nothing more than a year's work, and there is nothing left.
The daughter-in-law is pregnant, and their first child will be born next spring.
Judging from the current situation, this baby should be able to be kept, and Su Anying can't let Su Anying live with the baby on the mountain, right? Gotta have a home of my own.
This is a lot of money. Although there is money to put mountains, it can’t just sit and eat. You still have to find a way to make money.
The beasts in the mountains are not only edible, such as the black blind gall, the musk of the musk deer, and the antler of the sika deer are all good medicinal materials.
As for sable, raccoon dog, squirrel, and otter, they are all high-quality fur, and the purchase price is not low.
Guarding the treasure house of Changbai Mountain, taking advantage of the incessant hunting in these days, he can earn money by hunting openly, how could Xu Shiyan miss the opportunity?
"Don't worry, I'm carrying a gun and leading those dogs.
The dogs raised by Uncle Li are all good seedlings, and they have surrounded Qu Cai in the ginseng garden all day long.
Those dogs should be trained well, they are all good hunters. "
A hunter is happier seeing a good dog than seeing gold, silver and jewelry. How can a good dog be blinded in vain?
Su Anying knew that she couldn't persuade Xu Shiyan, so she simply didn't persuade him, and only told Xu Shiyan to be careful.
The next day when the snow stopped, Xu Shiyan didn’t move, and honestly went to the house to chop firewood and carry water.
Su Anying was still wondering, didn't she mean to go hunting, why is there no movement?
Animals are not humans after all. There was no snow in spring, summer, and autumn. The first snow fell suddenly, and the animals in the mountains were confused.
On the first day after the snow fell, all the animals in the mountains lay down in their nests and did not move. Naturally, if the animals did not come out, there would be no footprints. It would be useless to go hunting in the mountains.
But those animals were hungry, they lay in their nests for a long time, and in the afternoon they were so hungry that they had to come out to wander around for food.
In this way, marks will be left on the ground.
The hunter can identify which kind of animal it is through the footprints and traces in the snow, and hunting is relatively easy.
So Xu Shiyan stayed at home for a day without stopping. On the third day early in the morning, Xu Shiyan got up lightly, made breakfast, and ate dog food.
By the time Su Anying got up, Xu Shiyan had already finished eating, packed up and was ready to go.
"Leaving so early?" Women are sleepy after pregnancy, Su Anying is considered diligent, getting up at 6:30 in the morning.
As a result, as soon as he left the house, he saw Xu Shiyan wearing leggings in the outhouse, and knew that he was going to go up the mountain.
"Well, let's go early, those dogs haven't hunted before, and today I mainly want to walk them."
Xu Shiyan **** his leggings, straddled a bag diagonally, and stuffed the food into the bag.
"After I go out, you can just lock the door directly. No one will come to work on this day, and no matter who calls, you don't have to answer them."
The work in the ginseng field is almost done, and it has just snowed, and the road and the ginseng field are full of mud during the day.
No one will come, so Xu Shiyan set off with three dogs at ease.
