Dashan Makes a Living 1984 Chapter 264

  Chapter 264 260: Entering the Mountains to Find Bears

Cui Wanshan went on to say: "If this is the case, if we drive the bear out of the tree, it will move cumbersomely, and it will not run too fast. Whether it is dangerous or hunting him, it will be much easier to handle. This is the common sense of hunters, so We often say that walking in snow but not wind is for this reason.”

"It turned out to be this way," Wang Tianxiao was greatly shocked, and sighed: "I followed him a few times before, so it looks like I didn't learn anything, it was purely for fun, I heard you say that today , only to find that there are many ways in here.”

   "How long have you been in the mountains? I have been in the mountains for more than ten years. Your experience is not as rich as mine. Isn't it normal? It doesn't matter. As long as you are still in the mountains, you will understand this sooner or later."

   "Okay, I will rely on Teacher Cui for guidance from now on."

   "Must, must. You wash your stone well, I will make knives, I can't do without some good equipment."

"Thanks for your hard work."

  Cui Wanshan glanced at the golden eagle, and walked slowly over there.

  The moment he touched the stick, the golden eagle, which had been quiet, suddenly became nervous, and its wings of more than two meters suddenly spread.

"Snapped!"

   The moment it unfolded, a huge wind and wave was already blowing, and then it flapped its wings several times, blowing away everything around it.

  Its body even sank slightly, ready to spread its wings and fly at any time.

   "Don't, don't, I didn't mean to provoke you."

  Cui Wanshan hastily subdued her, smiled and said to Wang Tianxiao: "You golden eagle treats me as a villain, you have to be careful, don't scratch my head."

  Wang Tianxiao smiled wryly.

  He had no choice but to stand up and gently put his head on the golden eagle's side face, and then the golden eagle slowly lowered its wings and regained its calmness.

   "Xiao Liu, this uncle is my friend, he is a good man, don't be hostile to him in the future, okay?"

  The golden eagle ignored it.

   is still full of vigilance, and does not mean to relax in the slightest.

  The two looked at each other, and had no choice but to smile bitterly, "Let's talk about it later, she is just so stubborn, not as smart as a dog."

   "That's the only way to go." Cui Wanshan walked to the side with regret.

  Wang Tianxiao looked down, he was only talking, and he didn't brush out a few stones for a long time, the progress was too slow.

   hurriedly started to work quickly.

   It took more than two hours to dry in one breath, and finally washed away all the prepared stones.

  He stood up and wanted to move his waist, but found that his back was so painful that it almost broke.

   Take a good rest before recovering.

  Seeing Liu Yuanzheng and Cui Wanshan chatting over there, I know that these two people have a lot to talk about.

   They are each other's companions, which is also very good.

   "Lili, I've finished washing the stones here, what's the next step?"

   "Did you see those water tanks in the small warehouse? I've washed them clean before, but they haven't been dried yet. Help me get a rag to wipe all the water inside."

   "Why wipe that, there is only a little water, it shouldn't affect the taste, right?"

"Why doesn't it affect you?" Li Yali shouted inside, "It's almost impossible to get the taste I want. You see, why do I put the vegetables outside to dry for a few days, just to free up more water.

  Don't underestimate the water. If you don't get rid of it, the flavor of our seasoning will be absorbed into the water at first, and the taste of the dishes will not be uniform. Then some of them will definitely taste delicious and some will not.

   Also, we want to pour some boiling water, but not now, we have to wait until the seasoning seeps into the dish before adding water, so that it will be delicious. Just like when we make soup, we don't add water all at once, but cook the vegetables first, and then add water. "

   "I understand this. If you add water directly, it will be equivalent to boiled dishes, which will have no taste at all."

   "That's the truth," Li Yali smiled, "Kimchi is also the same, how about it, this is knowledge, can it be a teacher for you?"

  Wang Tianxiao couldn't help but laugh.

   "Confucius said that when three people walk together, there must be someone who can be his teacher. I found that this station randomly finds three people, and all three of them are my teachers, and all of them can teach me knowledge."

   "This sentence is translated like this. It's really... Forget it, let's work quickly, I'm waiting to use it."

   "Okay, I'll do it now."

  Wang Tianxiao picked up a washbasin and a rag to work in the warehouse.

  To be honest, his energy to work is indeed not as good as before.

  When I was young, I used to have endless strength and exhausted energy, but now, I still have a young body, but I can't do it for long, as if I am exhausted.

  He summed it up as mental exhaustion.

  It means that when a person reaches a certain age, he will feel tired. He doesn't mean that he has no energy, or that he is too tired to work, or he just doesn't want to do anything and feels inexplicably tired all the time.

   Even eating is tiring, and walking is also tiring.

  What I want to do the most is to lie on the sofa, Ge Youlie.

He put the washbasin and towels on the ground, looked at the two neat rows of water tanks, and suddenly smiled wryly. It seemed that it was not easy to do anything. He wanted to help his wife with some work and show a good performance, but he didn't expect such a thing. not easy.

  Thinking about it again, I originally asked someone to come back to cook so that my wife wouldn't have to work so hard, but she still couldn't do it and had to do it herself.

  In comparison, it seems that his wife is more diligent and harder than him.

Um…

   You cannot be a giant in language and a dwarf in action.

   Let's do it!

  After making up his mind, he looked at the fire in front of him, like enemies waiting for him to conquer, completely ignited! .

  The heavy snow that had been predicted the day after tomorrow was delayed by two full days.

   I thought it was too much.

  Wang Tianxiao and Cui Wanshan discussed that if they still didn't make it, even if they knew the danger and the difficulty was greater, they still had to give it a try.

  Wang Tianxiao went to the city hospital to visit Wu Qiancai again, but he was still the same, showing no signs of improvement.

   This made Wang Tianxiao even more anxious.

  The matter of going to Xiong Xiazi Ridge was even more urgent.

  This time, form a team of four.

  Wang Tianxiao and Cui Wanshan, needless to say, of course Wang Tianxin cannot miss such a good opportunity, so he must keep up.

  The remaining one was given to Liu Yuan.

  This old man hasn't been in the mountains to beat Xiong Xiazi for a long time, his hands are itchy.

   Said it was when he was young, but he beat Xiong Xiazi many times.

   He also told many stories about him hunting and killing Xiong Xiazi. Cui Wanshan believed that nine out of ten of what he said were true, not bragging.

  In this case, take it with you.

  But Wang Tianxiao was still a little worried about the old man's physical strength.

   After all, going out this time, you have to climb two mountains to reach the destination.

   It was the sky of the university, and the mountain road was quite dangerous, and some physical strength was needed to support it.

  When Liu Yuan heard this, he looked contemptuously at Wang Tianxiao.

"You kid said that I lack physical strength, right? It's not my old man who brags to you. Don't look at my age, you are still a young man, but when it's your turn to climb the mountain, you may not be my opponent. Back then... "

   Well, it's another elaboration on his heroic deeds when he was young.

  Wang Tianxiao and Cui Wanshan shook their heads and smiled wryly, but Wang Tianxin listened with gusto and was Liu Yuan's best listener.

   Liu Yuan has this little fan, so it is naturally quite exciting.

   As I talked, I didn't know where it went.

  But in the end, Wang Tianxiao still said to bring it.

  Liu Yuan has been working silently at the station. If you give him money, he doesn't want it. If you give him delicious food, he is just average.

  All it takes is a little rough Qingcheng baijiu.

  Now he just has such a simple request, if he doesn't agree, wouldn't it be too unreasonable.

  However, the third chapter of the covenant must be mentioned.

   When the time comes to go out, you must not be brave, you must abide by discipline, and you cannot rely on your old ones.

  Anyway, it is necessary to maintain a humble and prudent attitude.

   In order to go out smoothly, Liu Yuan, of course, accepted everything.

   Those who have decided to travel, the rest is to equip and store supplies.

   Just include some stoves, charcoal, dry food, water, spirits, sandbags, white medicine, tents, bedding, etc.

   Anyway, I can think of it, and I will be well prepared.

  The last time I killed wolves at the West Peak of Yangziling, the weather was not so cold, it was still sunny, but it was still freezing to death at night, so Wu Qiancai's arm was frostbitten.

  This time, it is not possible to save people because of need, but to add new injuries.

   Having prepared everything, the three of them took advantage of the heavy snow and embarked on a difficult hunting road.

  Although Li Yali loves her husband dearly, she can only hide her worry in her heart. She has always been very sensible in major matters, and basically does not interfere with her husband's normal activities.

   But I was still worried.

  She has stayed in the mountains before, and she knows that traveling in snowy weather is inherently risky, and it is also a place where wild animals may appear.

  I can only pray silently for a few people.

   Dongshan on a sunny day and Dashan after snow are completely two worlds.

  The heavy snow will completely cover people's front sight, and because of the falling snow, people will subconsciously close their eyes to avoid, and shrink their necks, so it takes more energy to deal with it.

   Moreover, many roads in the mountains were originally potholes. When they were not buried by snow, people could see them clearly and it was easy to avoid them.

   But now that the snow is on top of the pit, you can't see anything.

  I often think that a step on flat ground is a pit, and the result is that people fall over and over again.

  That is to say, the **** of this road is not very steep. If one is not careful, people may fall off the cliff.

  According to Cui Wanshan's request, the four people connected their bodies together with ropes, and the pulling was not very tight, so that they would not interfere with each other's walking, but in case someone stepped on the ground and something went wrong, the other three could quickly pull him back.

   is equivalent to an additional insurance.

  When he first started on the road, Wang Tianxin was still full of interest in this trip. He thought it was exciting and cool to go into the mountains under heavy snow, so he always wanted to talk to some seniors.

   Was ruthlessly stopped by Wang Tianxiao.

  Tell him that in this environment, people should not talk too much, or even walk crookedly, try to keep the same frequency, and can follow the other three to release their physical strength.

  If the body wants to allocate more energy to resist the cold, it will inevitably consume physical strength.

  If you don't know how to control yourself, you probably won't be able to walk soon.

  Wang Tianxin fell silent.

  The four people are like four ascetic monks going to worship, walking forward in silence.

  After walking for more than an hour, they came to the boundary between the east and west peaks of Yangziling. Everyone rested for about ten minutes, put the things on their backs on the ground, and took the opportunity to exercise their muscles and bones.

   "Old Wang, how far is it from here to Xiong Xiazi Ridge?"

  Wang Tianxiao thought for a while, and said: "It's really hard to say the specifics, I was also young... Oh, it was just before we walked through the Ziwu Ridge from the mountain road, and it took our family all the way to Ziwu Ridge, it took about a little more than a day.

   But there are six peaks in Ion Wuling. I roughly estimate that it will take half a day to walk from where we are standing to the nearest Xiongxiaziling. "

   "Half a day, right?" Cui Wanshan looked at the watch on his wrist, "It's just after eight o'clock, and we'll try to get to Xiongxiaziling before twelve o'clock. When we get there, we have to find the bear's hiding place.

  Although the place is called Xiong Xiazi Ridge, I guess there are only a dozen or more than 20 Xiong Xiazi in the whole mountain. If we are unlucky, we may not be able to find one in half a day. "

   "That's the reason. Reaching Xiongxiazi Ridge is only the first step. If the bear is so easy to find, then everyone will do it. Our goal this time is to finish it within three days. My wife and I said so."

   "Three days, about the same. If you are lucky, you may not need it. The main reason is that we are not very familiar with the situation in Xiongxiaziling. After arriving, we still need to get a little familiar with the scene environment.

  Hunting seems to be about getting the prey into our bag, but the more important thing is to come back alive. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be foolproof. "

   "That's the reason, old Cui, you are a skilled old hunter. I was right to find you. It seems that many of my ideas were immature before. If I came here directly, there might not be any problems."

   "Haha, it doesn't matter, you will get proficient slowly. It's not difficult, and this is not what you are good at. But Xiao Wang, you are young, so you just follow this hardship. You have a bright future."

   "Brother Cui is right. I can endure hardships. My brother still doesn't admit it. I just want to become the most powerful hunter in this area. No one else is better than me!"

   "Tianxin, you bastard, can you be a little more humble, what did my brother tell you, I forgot it in a blink of an eye, people must be humble!"

   "Brother, you just don't believe that I can be better than you, do you?"

   "Are you better than me?"

  Wang Tianxiao also laughed, "All right, then you should behave well and learn from your big brother Cui. I learned a lot from him."

   "I know, anyway, I meet someone who is better than you."

  Everyone laughed.

  After laughing, I packed up my luggage and continued to move forward.

  Walking for another half an hour, I came to the place where I fought the jackals last time. The battlefield at that time was already buried by heavy snow, and I could hardly see anything.

  Wang Tianxiao paused at this position, and the two brothers looked at each other by coincidence, thinking of the dangerous horror that night.

   Then, pack up and move on.

   After walking for about half an hour, or an hour, I walked out of Yangziling and officially came to Mengbaling.

   There is a clear dividing line between Mengbaling and Yangziling.

  Mengbaling has a slightly lower terrain. Passing from Yangziling, it seems to be descending into a basin.

  Because of the low terrain, a lot of running water nearby will gather in Mengbaling, which makes the vegetation environment of Mengbaling more complicated.

  There is also competition between plants.

  Because of the rich diversity of plants, there will be many plants with life attributes and extremely similar demand resources. In the same environment, these plants will form a fierce competition.

   Weak plants evolve slowly, so that they can find a place.

   Therefore, this mountain has no tall trees, and most of them are dominated by broad-leaved forests. It is a bit like the East Peak of Yangziling.

  The west peak of Yangziling is mostly coniferous forest.

  What kind of plants grow are related to the terrain environment.

  However, for Wang Tianxiao's hunting team, the vegetation environment of the broad-leaved forest in Meng Baling is actually better.

  It is winter now, and the broad-leaved forest is so bare that it can't hide anything at all.

  There is no need to worry about wolves sneaking up from behind and surrounding everyone.

   Can see far away at a glance.

   "Keep going, or should we wait a little longer?" Cui Wanshan asked.

   "Uncle Liu, how are you?"

  Wang Tianxiao is still most concerned about Liu Yuan's physical strength. After all, he is almost sixty years old, so there should be no problems.

   "Are you asking me?"

   Liu Yuan asked him lightly.

  Wang Tianxiao said with a wry smile: "Uncle Liu, don't be brave, we don't have to be so anxious, the temperature is low this day, if the physical exertion is too much, people will not be able to bear it."

   "Don't worry, I won't necessarily fall even if you fall."

"Hey, you say you are stubborn, old man." Wang Tianxiao smiled speechlessly, and said to Cui Wanshan: "Then keep going, Mengbaling's terrain is low, and the temperature will be relatively high, and we can find it later." A shelter from the wind, let's rest for a while, and then go to Xiongxiazi Ridge."

   "Okay, let's do this."

  Since everyone is fine, Cui Wanshan didn't say much.

  Whoever has a problem, he will not have a problem. He runs in the mountains for half a day almost every day, and his physical strength is very good.

  Everyone started walking in silence again.

  Low terrain has the advantage of low terrain.

  Walking in Mengbaling, the wind is much lower, and the ground will be slightly flatter. Even the snow on the ground is much less than Yangziling.

  So the speed of progress is much faster than originally thought.

   What's more interesting is that when everyone walked in, they found that Meng Baling was actually long from north to south and short from east to west. Now everyone walks from east to west, and the distance is relatively shorter, which shortens the travel time on the basis of the original.

   is a good thing.

  With such a double-layer bonus, Meng Baling, which was originally planned to pass in three hours, only took about two hours to complete.

   Originally planned to rest in Meng Baling for a while, but it seems that the rest will not work.

  The crowd walked to the edge of a cliff and looked up. It was a tall and white cliff, more than 100 meters higher than the mountain behind.

  Cui Wanshan stopped, telling everyone to stop walking.

"It seems that we have finished walking Mengbaling. The cliff in front of us should be Xiongxiazi Ridge. Let's adjust here, eat something, and recover our strength. This place is still warmer. When we get to the top, we want to go to the top again. It's not easy to find a place.”

  Wang Tianxiao looked ahead and felt that what Cui Wanshan said made sense, so everyone began to rest on the spot.
