Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 685 Hao Hongmin and others after the snow

"Yuhua, the north wind has been blowing all day today, and the temperature has been a lot colder. I guess Aunt Zhao will come earlier. You can go back after dinner. Don't let Aunt Zhao wait at the door. Washing pots and dishes Leave the job to both of us."

"It's okay. It doesn't take much time to do these tasks. Besides, if Aunt Zhao comes and finds that the door is not open, she will find Brother Han's house and won't wait at the door stupidly."

Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying were speechless when they heard Hou Yuhua say this. The plan they had discussed for a day failed. Moreover, they had no reasonable reason to refute each other's words, so they could only think of other solutions after going home.

On November 24th of the lunar calendar, Han Li was still living a comfortable life at home.

Village Chief Zhao and Captain Liang had been doing statistics and busy work yesterday, and asked someone to contact the county breeding farm. They hitched two horses early today and pulled a sledge together towards the county.

At first glance, this sledge looks a bit like the "warm sledges" used by wealthy people in the past, but it looks a bit too rough.

This is a simple carport built with wooden poles on an ordinary sledge. The outside is completely surrounded by tarpaulin. There is also a layer of animal skin inside the tarpaulin connection. Finally, a small small space is opened at the back of the shed. door.

There are two charcoal-burning stoves inside the sledge, but they were not lit at this time.

Niu Dechang and Wang Congfei were here. They shivered and got up from their sleeping place. They quickly squatted in front of the fire and started adding firewood to it. It took them a long time to calm down.

"Mad, it was really cold last night. I was woken up several times by the cold."

Wang Congfei was startled at first and did not notice what was going on around him. Then he heard Niu Dechang say that he had only seen the footprints next to him.

When Niu Dechang was squatting on the ground digging a piece of moss, he heard Wang Congfei, who was not far away from him, shouting.

"Let's fix the air leakage in this shack today before going out to hunt for prey, otherwise tonight will only be more miserable."

"Who says it's not the case? It was drafty here last night, and it was as if the coat I was wearing was not there at all."

So after eating, the two guys started looking for mosses, lichens and other plants separately. This was also the experience they heard from the old people in the village.

"Huh, the knife is good at chopping wood. We have to prepare a good sleeping place at night so that we can safely look for prey around."

After Niu Dechang walked quickly with his dog, he discovered that there was a wild boar skeleton under a big tree. Almost all the meat on the wild boar had been eaten, and only the pig's head fell aside relatively intact. The surrounding snow was covered with snow. The steps were noisy, and there were a lot of blood stains on the snow.

There are many plum blossom-like footprints on the surrounding snow. These plum blossom-like footprints are very large, the width is about the size of an adult bundle, and the length is much longer than the length of a bundle.

(The size of an adult is about 15cm to 20cm.)

Although they had never seen footprints of this shape, they had heard descriptions of them countless times from villagers.

"Brother Niu, I'm sorry, I was shocked when I saw this thing."

Niu Dechang looked at the scene in front of him, as well as Wu Lili's dog, whose legs were trembling, whining and urinating on the spot, and asked quickly.

Although it has entered winter, those mosses and lichens generally do not die. They just enter dormancy, and the roots are still firmly holding on to the soil below. However, it will be difficult to remove them during this season. difficulty.

"Oh shit, you scared me to death."

"No, Cong Fei, what do you think the footprints around are?"

The first overlord in the mountains, the Siberian tiger, is said to be the mount of the mountain god.

At this time, both Niu Dechang and Wang Congfei thought of something, and they both swallowed hard and said at the same time.

"What should I do?" "I don't know why there are Siberian tiger footprints in just a few days' journey. Did we go the wrong way when we came?"

At this time, Wang Congfei's eyes hardened, he reached out and held the old-fashioned rifle and said.

"Okay, so what about the Siberian tiger, the mount of the mountain overlord and mountain god? Han Li can use traps to catch a dozen wild boars in one fell swoop, and we can also use traps to catch this Siberian tiger. As long as we catch it, we can not only make a lot of money, but also In terms of reputation, he can completely suppress Han Li."

Niu Dechang was very excited when he heard this, but he looked at the huge plum blossom footprints in front of him and said.

"Why don't we go back to the shack first? There are bear traps and covers there and we'll be safer."

"Brother Niu, look at these tiger footprints going up the mountain, and this wild boar still has a lot of meat left, which means the tiger is full, so we should be safe now."

Although Niu Dechang seemed to have the final say in other matters, he really didn't know as much as Wang Congfei about hunting, so he asked subconsciously.

"Then what do we do now?"

"Take back the remaining meat of this wild boar. We can eat some of the pig's head and keep the pork as bait. Next, we will use the wild boar and the trap to make a trap.

However, the tiger has just eaten, and it may take some time before it takes the bait, so we have to collect moss and lichen to patch up the holes in the shack. We have to compare our patience with this tiger. "

"What if the tiger doesn't come over? The dry food we brought won't last long."

"Brother Niu, with these wild boars as traps, even if the tigers don't come for a while, other animals will come to eat the meat. Anyway, we won't be empty-handed."

Niu Dechang heard Wang Congfei say so firmly, he could only do what the other party said.

Next, the two of them moved the wild boar head and the remaining meat back to the front of the shack, then Niu Dechang went to collect moss and lichens with all his strength, and Wang Congfei took the trap and set up traps around it.

But before they could finish it, the cold wind blowing in the sky suddenly stopped, and then the pure white snowflakes fell from the sky one after another. Niu Dechang and Wang Congfei could only work hard to speed up their work in the snowflakes. speed

At this time, An Xin and Li Yingzi were sitting here chatting with Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying in Shanghe Village.

"Snowing?"

"It's snowing again."

"Haha, sister Hongmin, look it's really snowing, we"

"Ahem, cough, if it snows, it will snow. Why are you so excited?"

The four women said four different sentences, but Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying seemed to have a little more excitement in their voices.

"How can I be excited?"

"Sister Hongmin, sister Xiuying, what riddles are you two doing?"

"There's no riddle. It's just that I lost the bet between Xiuying and Xiuying on when it would snow."

At this time, Han Li, who was practicing calligraphy, suddenly sneezed twice.

PS: I have a bad cough today, so my code is a little less, I will try to make up for it tomorrow.
