Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 7 Pheasant
There are requirements for young forest tending, and the pass rate must be above 90.00%.

After the work is completed on each piece of land, there will be technicians from the forest farm to check and accept.

If it is unqualified, it needs to be reworked, and money has to be deducted.

Sheng Xiping is the captain of the educated youth and is in charge of these people, so he not only has to shovel the saplings, but also has to keep an eye on these people to work at all times.

The local people in Qianchuan Forest Farm are better. After all, when they were in school, they participated in the afforestation battle every year, and they were able to do most of the work.

Especially those educated youths who have settled down a few years ago are very proficient in these tasks.

But the group of people from Songjianghe couldn't do it, they had never worked before, even though they had been working on this land for several days, they still didn't get it right.

Especially those female educated youths, just after working for a long time, this one complained of hand pain, and the other complained of back pain.

"How are you? Are you tired? Does your hand hurt?
Slow down if your hand hurts, I'll shovel over this ridge and pick you up later. "

Sheng Xiping was next to Zhou Qinglan, and when he passed by her, he asked softly.

Zhou Qinglan raised her hand, wiped the sweat from her temples and neck with the back of her hand, then shook her head.

"It's okay, I can persevere, we came to the forest farm to exercise, how can we stop doing it because of this bit of hardship?"

"Well, then you pay attention, watch your feet."

This young forest is only three years old, and it doesn't grow too tall. The young forest is tended every year, and there are not many weeds and shrubs.

Therefore, animals such as snakes cannot be hidden, and generally speaking, there is no danger.

And there are so many people there, the noise is not small, even if there are wild beasts around, they will have already been scared away.

Sheng Xiping reminded Zhou Qinglan that he just wanted her to pay attention to her feet. This foot was higher than the bottom of the foot. Don't accidentally sprain her ankle.

Zhou Qinglan didn't know if it was hot or what, but Zhou Qinglan felt his face was scalding hot.

She didn't feel embarrassed to talk to Sheng Xiping any more, so she just nodded and hummed, which was her agreement.

Seeing this situation, Sheng Xiping didn't say anything more, and quickly shoveled the weeds on the back of the ridge and the platform with a hoe.

At the beginning, the saplings were planted in big ridges. The ridges were very long and wide, and one ridge would take almost an afternoon.

Sheng Xiping moved quickly, hurriedly shoveled his own ridge, and went back to meet Zhou Qinglan.

The other guys who have a partner basically operate in this way.

Those girls who don't have a date have nothing to do, they can only grit their teeth and finish the job by themselves.

In summer, the days are long, and we work until after five o'clock in the afternoon, and then everyone packs up their tools and heads out.

They have to walk four or five miles out along the road shadow opened up by logging before they can wait for the train near the small train track of the second branch line.

There are commuter cars specially used to pick up and drop off workers in the field, usually with a diesel locomotive pulling several carriages.

If there are many people working on the mountain, sometimes a few carts will be hung up.

The trumpet that Sheng Xiping and the others are working on was harvested a few years ago, and the mountain was closed for forestation after a large area was cleared.

So apart from the previous afforestation and young forest tending, there are not many people here on weekdays.

Especially on both sides of the shadow of the road, the secondary forests that have not been logged or have grown up are dense with trees and shrubs.

In such a place, it is easy to hide some small animals or birds.

A group of young men and big girls are just at the time when they are young and energetic, even after a day of work, they are still full of energy.

A few boys walked and sang.

Not to mention the singing, if you want to have no tone, you have to be out of tune, thanks to the fact that there are no wolves around here, otherwise you can attract wolves.

There are still people who are short of hands, just pick up a stone at random, and throw it into the grass next to it.

Coincidentally, I don't know who just started a few pheasants all of a sudden.

Pheasants and hares are the most common birds and animals in the forest area of ​​Changbai Mountain.

Pheasants mostly live in forest edges, bushes or overgrown weeds, and occasionally enter sparse miscellaneous forests for food.

Pheasants mostly breed in spring and usually build nests in shrubs or low weeds.

The nest is very simple, just find a recess and lay some dry grass or dead branches and leaves in it.

In spring and summer, pheasants usually forage for food in the morning and evening. After the sun rises, they return to their nests and come out to move again at dusk.

These pheasants should be a family, and they just came out to look for food in the evening, but they were alarmed.

A few pheasants fluttered up from the bushes and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Pheasant, there are pheasants." Several people shouted loudly.

When they shouted, the pheasant flew faster, but Sheng Xiping's slingshot was faster than the pheasant.

When going out from the inside, Sheng Xiping was holding a slingshot in his hand.

This slingshot is well-made and has excellent elasticity. The projectiles are steel balls from the small repair shop.

Sheng Xiping has been playing with a slingshot since he was a child, and with this slingshot in his hand, it can be said that he can shoot wherever he points, and the shot never misses.

Even his master said that this slingshot is absolutely perfect.

It was not easy for Sheng Xiping to bring a shotgun when he came to work in the mountains, but he knew that there were many wild animals in the forest, so he specially brought a slingshot.

I thought that if I encountered anything, I would call it, and it would be good to go home and improve my life.

When he just came out, Sheng Xiping buckled the marbles and was always ready.

A pheasant that is startled will generally have a habitual movement.

They will first fly vertically upward from the bushes or grass, and then fly horizontally to the distance.

When the pheasant changes from vertical take-off to horizontal flight, there will be a turning movement in the air.

At this time, its speed will be slower, and it needs to coordinate the balance of the body, and there will be a very short pause.

This is the best time to shoot pheasants, and experienced hunters will take advantage of this fleeting opportunity.

Although I stopped hunting in my previous life and my skills may become unfamiliar, the muscle memory of my body is still there.

With many years of experience, hunting a pheasant is still a piece of cake.

Hunters need to estimate the height and distance of the pheasant's flight, and allow an amount in advance.

The old hunter passed down a catchphrase, "Hit the mouth horizontally, beat the legs along the way, and beat the wings obliquely."

Sheng Xiping aimed at the beak of the pheasant and shot the projectile, and the steel ball just hit the head of the pheasant, and saw the pheasant that was about to fly flat and fell into the grass with a flutter.

The other pheasants had already flown away, and it was too late for Sheng Xiping to load the marbles and launch them.

He was not greedy either, and ran directly towards the direction where the pheasant fell, and picked up a dying male pheasant from the grass.

"Brother Xiping, aren't you too good? We haven't realized it yet, you just knocked down the pheasant.

Oops, it's a male pheasant. It doesn't look small, enough for a meal. "

It was only at this moment that the crowd came to their senses, and surrounded Sheng Xiping with a huff, and said enviously.

"This is a pheasant, it looks so beautiful."

Zhou Qinglan, who grew up in the city and had never seen a pheasant, came forward curiously, looking at the pheasant in Sheng Xiping's hand with bright eyes.
