Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 288
On August 20th, when the school started, Zhou Qinglan led Chen Feng to report to the first grade of Qianchuan Middle and Primary School, and Chen Feng officially became the first grade Xiaodoubao.

Chen Feng has changed a lot in the past half a month in the Sheng family.

The originally dry, thin and small baby now has flesh on her face, and her complexion is much rosier than before, her eyes are no longer cautious, and she is much more generous and flexible.

The bald head that was originally shaved in the provincial capital has also grown short stubble, which is much more pleasing to the eye than before.

Everyone in the forest farm knew that Chen Feng was the child of a relative of the Sheng family.

With the protection of the Sheng family, those who gossiped would talk behind their backs at most, and no one dared to say anything in front of Chen Feng.

The school also knew that Chen Feng's situation was special, and the principal also specifically asked the head teacher of the first grade to pay more attention and not allow other children to bully Chen Feng.

So Chen Feng was not excluded at school, and went to school happily every day.

After school started, Sheng Xitai entered the fourth grade.

Zhou Qinglan, who was five months pregnant, did not ask for leave to rest at home, and continued to work as the class teacher of the fourth grade with her stomach full.

The forestry farm has no production tasks at this time, and most people are resting, going to the mountains to do side jobs to dig medicinal materials, etc.

At this time in previous years, the agricultural team began to look after the young and protect the young. This year, I don’t know if it’s because of the spring hunting or what happened. There are not many wild boars in the field, and the educated youth team has a lot of leisure.

The agricultural team didn't have many things to do, so Sheng Xiping went into the mountains to play tricks or play around when he had nothing to do.

After all, there is still a little guy in the family who can't satisfy his craving for only milk, and always wants to have some meat.

The little tiger still mainly eats milk now, but if the meat is cut into small pieces, this guy can also eat it.

Sheng Xiping tried his best to bring back some wild game, and fed the little tiger a little meat every day, just like adding supplementary food to a baby, so that he could get used to it as much as possible.

Artificially feeding tigers can also be fed cooked food. Tigers who eat cooked food do not like to get sick, but their wild nature will degenerate.

However, once a tiger eating cooked food has eaten raw meat, it will not eat cooked meat again.

Sheng Xiping didn't plan to raise the cub for the rest of his life. He only released it into the wild when it was older. It would definitely keep the cub's wildness, so he always fed the cub raw meat.

Anyway, the little guy is still young, and most of the time he eats milk, and his demand for meat is not particularly large.

When the prey was brought back, the cub ate some, most of which were eaten by the family.

In late August, exactly in the middle of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, it is also the busiest time in Honghamtou City.

The village of the big alkali field next door is not busy at this time, and those in the production team all went into the mountain together to release the mountain.

It is said that a few people went up the mountain and met a Liupin Ye seedling, the stick is not small, and it can be worth a lot of money.

As soon as the news came out, not only the village of Dajianchang, but also the Qianchuan Forest Farm was a sensation, and many people discussed it.

There are even some young people who are excited and eager to try, and want to go to the mountains to try their luck.

Sheng Xiping was also moved. He suddenly remembered the place where Zhou Qinglan met the big snake when he was shoveling saplings last year.

At that time, I was in a hurry to leave, and I didn't have time to take a closer look. With such a big snake guarding it, there must be treasures around.

Sheng Xiping didn't know exactly what it was, but he was always thinking about it.

I haven't had a chance to see it before, and it happens that there is nothing to do at this time, so why not go into the mountain to have a look.

"Third brother, you ask the school for two days off." Sheng Xiping said to Sheng Xikang during dinner in the evening.

"Dad, Mom, I want to take the second and third children together and go up the mountain to have a look.

Right now is the time when Bang Chui comes out of the mountain. Both of them are novices, so if they are lucky, they will meet. "

For hunting, Sheng Xiping can take Wang Jianshe and others up the mountain together, and no matter what they are hunting, everyone who sees them can get a share.

But it's different to go into the mountains and dig the sticks. It's best to bring your own brothers.

Sheng Xiping is not a leader, and he doesn't have the skills of a veteran. He can see the mountain scenery, determine the mountain field, and determine which forests contain treasures.

He took people up the mountain, so it was purely foolhardy, trying his luck, not sure.

My brother followed, it was regarded as going into the mountain to hang around for fun, if I brought others into the mountain and got nothing, it was really unreasonable.

"Boss, can the three of you go to free the mountains?" Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen were worried when they heard this.

The second child and the third child are young and have never left the mountain. Although the eldest child has been to the mountain twice under the leadership of his master Liu Changde, he doesn't have much experience.

This is not the same as hunting in the mountains. Why do you think it is unreliable for the three first-timers to enter the mountains?
"Otherwise, don't ask for leave, the third one, I'll go with you, the small repair shop doesn't have much work recently."

Sheng Liancheng was not at ease, the three sons were going to go to the mountains, what if something happened to them?
"Dad, you haven't let go of the mountain before, so it doesn't matter if you go.

At any rate, I followed Master into the mountains twice, and saw him carry a club. "

Liu Changde is not only good at hunting, he is also good at mountain hunting, and he has been a leader in the past.

After Sheng Xiping stopped studying, he went hunting with his master in winter, and went back to the mountains with him in autumn, so he understood a little bit.

After Sheng Xiping came out of it in his previous life, there were not so many wild ginseng resources.

Although Sheng Xiping followed Brother Liu Yujiang into the mountains a few times, they didn't gain much. Later, when he found other ways to make money, Sheng Xiping didn't bother to release the mountains anymore.

So in this line of work, Sheng Xiping has some experience, but not much, he can be regarded as a half-baked.

"We didn't go too far, so we wandered around in the second branch line and the third branch line. If we can meet the best ones, if we don't, we'll grab something and come back.

Don't worry, we'll be back in three days at most. "

When Sheng Xiping went up the mountain, he mainly wanted to look for the location where he met the snake last year. What if there is really something good?Didn't you just pick it up?

If he didn't have it, forget it, anyway, he was carrying a gun, if he really couldn't find the mallet, he would bring something back, and he couldn't return empty-handed.

Since Sheng Liancheng came to the Northeast, he has been working in the forest farm and logging.

He had only heard about hunting in the mountains, but he had no experience at all, and he couldn't catch up with Sheng Xiping.

So when his son said this, Sheng Liancheng fell silent.

"No, I don't worry about the three of you going into the mountain, I'd better follow, my father and I will take care of us together."

Sheng Liancheng pondered for a long time, and finally decided to follow into the mountain.

"Father, the thing about letting go of the mountain is to go one way and go back two times. It's against the rules for four of us to go into the mountain." Sheng Xiping shook his head and smiled wryly.

There are many things to pay attention to when opening a mountain, one of which is that the number of people must be odd, not even, especially not two people entering the mountain.

The ginseng group pays attention to treating ginseng as a person. If you enter the mountain with an odd number, bringing back ginseng is equivalent to double.

As for not being able to enter the mountain with two people, the main reason is that I am afraid that I will meet a big guy, and some people will have the intention of harming others when they see the money.

Therefore, there are at least three or more people participating in the gang. If you really can't find all the people, you would rather go alone, and there is no reason for two people to enter the mountain together.

"Hey, we're not serious gangsters, besides, we're a family, no matter what."

Sheng Liancheng waved his hand, saying whatever he said, he had to follow, otherwise, don't go at all.

Sheng Liancheng insisted on following up the mountain, and Sheng Xikang also wanted to go, so he had to ask for leave to follow.

Sheng Xiping had no choice but to agree.

On the morning of August 25th, the four masters of the Sheng family pushed the railway tricycle and loaded it with luggage, rice, pots and pans and other household items.

Along the small train track, go all the way to the forest area on the side of the second branch line and the third branch line.

Walking to the end of the railway, the four masters removed the wheels of the tricycle, hid the car and the wheels in the grass, and marked them so that they could be found later.

After hiding the car, the four of them put their things on their backs and walked into the forest along the tractor road in the former Shiye District.

Last year, the forest class that took care of the saplings, the saplings have grown quite tall.

There is no need to tend this year, no one has left here for a year, and tenacious weeds are growing wildly on the tractor road.

The four of them walked through the weeds in the jungle until noon. Sheng Xiping chose a place where the wind was sunny and there was a small river in front of them, as their shelter, and planned to build a shack.

There are rules for releasing mountains. After choosing a foothold, you must build a master's mansion and respect the mountain god.

The three stones are erected two vertically and one horizontally, which is the master's mansion.

Those who have incense sticks and paper codes should burn incense and paper to pray, and pray for the blessing of the mountain god, so that they can enter the mountain smoothly and get the big goods.

Those who have not prepared these, break three branches or grass sticks, pinch earth for a furnace, and plant grass for incense, and worship the mountain gods as well.

Most of the time, people will pray to the mountain god and ask the mountain god to bless them, so that they can dig a big stick when they enter the mountain.

The ginseng will make a wish. If everything goes well and they really get the big stick, they will bring the pig's head and wine and go back to the mountain to reward the old mountain god.

In order not to attract the attention of others, Sheng Xiping did not prepare these things before entering the mountain.

At this moment, they took their father and younger brother, gathered a pile of soil in front of the master's house, inserted three dry grass branches and lit it.

Sheng Liancheng also took out three cigarettes and lit them, standing vertically in front of the master's mansion.

The four of you knelt and kowtowed in front of the old man's mansion, praying sincerely, praying for the blessing of the old man, the mountain god, so that they can meet big goods when they enter the mountain this time.

If you get rich, you will never forget the old man's kindness, and you must bring wine and meat to repay.

After paying homage to the mountain god, it was getting late. My father and I took out the pancakes that Zhang Shuzhen made in the morning, as well as pickles, meat sauce, etc., and ate something to fill our stomachs.

After eating, I began to cut branches to build a shack.If they want to live in the mountains for a few days, they must have a shelter from the wind and rain.

Several wooden sticks are tied together to make a skeleton, birch bark and thatch are covered with thatch to keep out the wind and rain, a layer of branches and dead grass is spread inside the shack, and a roe deer skin mattress is spread to keep out the cold and moisture.

The reason why we choose roe deer skin is that this kind of skin has no peculiar smell, especially after it rains, it will not attract the surrounding snakes.

These are the experiences left by the old Fangshan people.

After setting up the hut, I went to the woods to collect firewood, and the afternoon passed.

In the evening, I set up a fire in the open space in front of the shack, filled the pot with water, put some dried meat brought from home, and wild leeks that Sheng Xi'an and the others found around, and a bundle of dried noodles.

The four masters each served a bowl of dried noodles, served pancakes, ate and drank, had a hot meal, and then went back to the shack to sleep.

Although Sheng Xiping often went hunting in the mountains, he had few opportunities to sleep in the wild.

After all, the forest farm is in the big forest, surrounded by mountains, most of the time, you don't have to go too far to meet the prey.

Not to mention Sheng Xi'an and Sheng Xikang, except that they went to the lumberjacks station in winter to show condolences and occasionally stay on the mountain for one night, they have no such experience of sleeping in the barren mountains.

Both brothers found it very novel. Lying in the shack at night, listening to the sound of the wind and the calls of birds and animals, they felt both exciting and a little scared, which was a different experience.

Nothing happened all night, got up the next morning, ate something casually, Sheng Xiping and his father and two younger brothers lined up in front of the shack, shouting loudly.

This shouting mountain, the louder the better, it will scare away all the beasts hidden in the forest and ensure the safety of the mountain hunters.

"Let's look for this mountain today. I had a dream last night. The omen is very good. There may be something to gain here."

Sheng Xiping pointed to the forest where they met the big snake last year, and decided to go there today to look for it.

Let the mountain people enter the mountain, and they are particular about dreaming at night.

Every morning, the old man would ask these members of the gang, did they have any dreams last night?

Some partners said that if they dreamed of meeting a woman by the river and taking two children to wash clothes, the old man would lead everyone to look for it by the water.

If he dreamed that there was a house on the top of the mountain, and there were many people coming and going in and out of it, the old man would lead the people up the mountain.

As the saying goes, thinking day by day and dreaming at night, dreaming in the mountains is an auspicious omen for those who join the gang.

Being in the forest area, even if Sheng Liancheng and the others had no experience in silencing mountains, they had heard about it from others.

So when the masters heard Sheng Xiping say that they had a dream last night and the omen was good, Sheng Liancheng and the others didn't doubt it, so they followed Sheng Xiping and lined up four of them.

Sheng Xiping is the head stick, Sheng Xi'an is the second stick, Sheng Liancheng is the side stick, with Sheng Xikang in the middle.

The four masters held a one-person-high Suobao stick in their hands, and walked forward side by side. While walking, they used the Suobao stick to push the grass in front of them, and kept looking at the grass.

There is a saying by Fangshan people that it is better to make mistakes on a mountain than to fall a brick. Wherever you pass, you can't miss even a place the size of a brick.

This is an unfelled mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest, with high mountains and dense forests, tall oak trees and linden trees with lush branches and leaves, blocking the hot sun and leaving patches of shade.

Walking through the forest, people can't feel the hot and dry autumn sun, but it is very refreshing.

It's just that in such an environment, there are correspondingly more mosquitoes.

Not long after the four of you entered the forest, swarms of mosquitoes, small bites, blind midges, small plane adzes and other blood-sucking mosquitoes were flying around them.

Especially the little planer adze, which hovers around people's eyes and bites when people are not paying attention.

It's okay if you have good skin, it's a small bump when you bite, and the itching disappears after a while.

Some people have bad skin and are extremely sensitive, and they will swell up a big bump after being bitten, which is very painful.

Fortunately, before entering the forest, Sheng Xiping and the others had made preparations and broke a lot of old cow livers.

Or hold it in your hand and keep waving it to repel mosquitoes, or weave a hat with branches and insert old beef liver on it, which can also play a role in repelling mosquitoes.

For example, Sheng Liancheng can smoke, and lighting a cigarette from time to time can also smoke away some mosquitoes and so on.

"wooden club."

They had just entered the forest, less than 10 minutes later, and before they reached the place Sheng Xiping wanted to go, they suddenly heard Sheng Xikang shout.

Sheng Xiping was shocked immediately, and hurriedly picked up the mountain, "How many leaves?"

When releasing the mountain, I found ginseng. If I want to call the mountain, I just shout a stick.

When other people hear that they want to pick up mountains, most of them just ask how many leaves, in fact, they ask about the size of the stick.

"Second Jiazi."
