Reborn in the fiery age, I am a salted fish in the mountains

When setting up the fence in the afternoon, Han Xiaokang found that the iron wire he took out in the morning seemed to be missing a large bundle.

After thinking about it carefully and confirming repeatedly, Han Xiaokang definitely remembered that the wire he took out from the Fengchao cabinet was indeed missing a large bundle.

During this period, Han Xiaokang didn't know if there were any giant bandits who slipped through the net hidden in some deep mountains and old forests.

But what is certain is that there are no thieves in Aju's hut.

Otherwise, let alone how the person who came to steal could escape the eyes and ears of so many people, he would not be able to get around even Xiaolang Lele and Erhu.

Since there are no thieves here.

But I clearly took out 5 large bundles of iron wires in the morning, and now I need to pull the iron wires between the wooden posts to make a fence that can prevent the invasion of large beasts, but I found out that the iron wires are missing?

After thinking about it carefully, Han Xiaokang vaguely remembered a sack that seemed to be hanging on the mule's back when Zhou Min left in the morning. Its bulging shape was a bit strange.

It was like stuffing a coiled python into a sack.
When I think of that scene, and when Zhou Min leaves, he always dodges his eyes and talks a little bit incoherently.
Thinking about it, it must be that Zhou Min came to him to steal the sheep and swept away the bundle of wires!
But that eccentric girl is out hunting this time, what is she doing with the wire?
If you can’t figure it out right now, then don’t think about it.

Anyway, the first time, the Fengchao cabinet rewarded itself with quite a lot of supplies, so just take out a bundle from it.

This afternoon, Han Xiaokang and Chang Deyu still jointly completed the project of drawing iron wires between the planted wooden piles.

There is no way around this: on the one hand, it is because of Chang Deyu, she seems to like to stay here and do miscellaneous things with Han Xiaokang.

Can't drive away.

On the other hand, the distance between the two wooden stakes is about 5 meters. If one person is really running back and forth, constantly tightening the wire and tying it to the wooden stakes one by one, he will be going back and forth. Running is really tiring.

Now there is a person helping to tighten the wire at the other end, while Han Xiaokang only fixes this side.

Working in this way can indeed improve your efficiency a lot.

When the 4 large bundles of iron wires that he had taken out earlier were tied up, Han Xiaokang simply stopped putting them in front of Chang Deyu, but went directly behind a bush, and then took out another 2 large bundles from the Fengchao cabinet with his mind. The wire went on to dry.

This time, Chang Deyu was only a little surprised that Han Xiaokang was able to casually dig out the iron wire, which was still very precious at this period, from the back of a bush.

But that's all, no more expressions.

After all, Chang Deyu saw Han Xiaokang with his own eyes, and instantly disappeared that strange machine.

Now she is concerned about Han Xiaokang's ability to pull out two large bundles of wire from the back of the bush.

What Chang Deyu showed was a kind of numbness of "I have seen big wind and waves, and I don't think these pediatric behaviors are so strange"
In the backyard of Aju's hut, everyone is busy with various tasks.

And Zhou Min, who was dozens of miles away, was not idle.

At this time, Zhou Min led a large group of people and had just arrived at the predetermined boundary, so he didn't have time to rest, and he didn't even care about lunch.

Zhou Min hid behind the bushes in the downwind, pointing a shotgun at the little monkey's head.

One person and one monkey are negotiable, and we have repeatedly confirmed that the cave on the opposite side, located in the middle of the cliff, is the shelter of a group of blue sheep at night.

Put away the gun and let go of the little monkey who was so frightened that his butt was red.

Zhou Min looked carefully at the cave that didn't look too big through the gaps in the bushes.

Then, with an astonishingly fast brain, she quickly formulated a one-pot hunting plan for blue sheep: "Wu Xiaojie, take Jiang Yue together and unload all the supplies from the mule's back."

Originally, according to the hunter's rules, hunting at any time, can't kill them all.

This is not because there are more and more people to support in the mountains, Zhou Min was forced to do nothing, so when he came out to hunt this time, Zhou Min had secretly made up his mind: I really can't be as gentle as before, this time I have to Be more ruthless!

Zhou Min pointed to the small open space behind the bushes, "Put everything here for now, and then you can take the mules farther away and tie them up, lest the blue sheep smell the smell and be too scared to come back tonight." Nest."

Although Wu Xiaojie is confused as a human being, he undoubtedly understands the habits of many beasts.

So there was no need for Zhou Min to explain too much. Wu Xiaojie himself knew that the smelly mule must not be allowed to stay near the cave where the blue sheep lived.

Just because blue sheep are very vigilant, there are usually 2 or 3 shelters for them.

If the blue sheep smell a strange smell near one of the caves, most of them will temporarily change places, and they will continue to live here until they come next time and do not notice any abnormalities.

Wait until the mule is loaded.

Zhou Min opened one of the big bamboo tubes, which contained the rice balls that Zhou Min had made in advance in the morning.

He took out two rice balls and handed them to Jiang Yue. Jiang Yue, who was already hungry, asked while eating, "Sister Zhou Min, why is there only salt in this rice ball, but no pickles?"

"Sauerkraut has a strong smell and is easy to be smelled by rock sheep. Just in case, I only put a little salt."

Zhou Min ate the rice balls by himself, and laughed in a low voice, "What? Jiang Yue, you don't think the food is too bad, do you?"

"No, how could it be?"

Jiang Yue devoured the food, "I know that many children in rural areas are envious of us living in the city. They think that because we have national food, we can eat well and wear good clothes. In fact, it is not like that."

Anyway, our family often eats the last meal without the next meal, and often has to rely on the grandfather who lives in the country to secretly carry some sweet potatoes for us to come to the rescue.

Otherwise, there would be many more times when we would be hungry! "

Jiang Yue stopped eating and looked up at the sky, "When my mother was still at home, we spent less time starving.

But those rations were my father and my mother's refraining from eating them, and they saved them bit by bit, so that my brother and I would be full.

Later, I remembered that since my mother passed away, my father often worked overtime in the factory, and no one at home cared about Jiang Tao and me. "

"I remember one winter, there was not even a grain of grain at home. When my dad went to work in the morning, he asked us to wait at home, saying that he would buy grain after get off work and come back to cook for us. .”

Tears welled up in Jiang Yue's eyes, "So we two brothers waited, waited, until midnight, even the street lights on the street were all turned off, and my dad didn't come back.
My younger brother Jiang Tao drank 3 large scoops of cold water so hungry that he walked with his stomach rumbling, and my dad didn't come back either. "

"I was so hungry that I couldn't help it, so I let my brother stay at home, and I went to the factory to find my dad."

"In the end, I searched a lot, but I couldn't find it. Later, it was the kind Aunt Zhang in the factory who told me quietly that my father had been locked up.

He said that if he didn't explain the problem clearly, they would never let my dad go home. "

"I was in a room in the security department of the factory, and I saw my dad through the gap in the window. At that time, he was covered in blood and lay motionless on the ground."

"While the person on duty was playing poker there and didn't pay attention, I stabbed my dad awake with a small stick.

When my dad saw me, he struggled to get up from the ground, then took out a bloody 2 yuan bill from his pocket and stuffed it to me, telling me to go home and buy some food for my brother.

My dad also told me not to worry about him, and said that he might not come home for several days. My dad also urged me to go home quickly. There will be more trouble. "

"So I took the 2 yuan and was going to go outside to buy something to eat.

But it's so late, where can I go shopping?State-run restaurants and non-staple food stores of supply and marketing cooperatives have long been closed. "

"Running and running all over the street, I finally found a consignment store, and it happened to sell white sugar sesame cakes there. Oh, it's the kind of cakes made of white flour, sprinkled with sesame seeds, and filled with white sugar. It's delicious. up!
A sesame cake costs 7 cents, so expensive!

But at that time, I couldn't find other places to buy things, so I said it was more expensive, and I only bought 2.

One pancake is definitely not enough to eat, but at least it also makes my dad and my brother feel less uncomfortable in their stomachs. "

Zhou Min frowned, "I only bought two white sugar sesame cakes, what about you?"

"Pancakes are too expensive, I don't eat them."

Jiang Yue grinned, "I know there is a ditch. If you crawl along it, you can get to the canteen of the county cotton spinning factory.

When I get out of the ditch, I will reach the two doors of the canteen of the cotton spinning factory at most 2 meters away. As long as I push hard, the gap between the two wooden doors is enough for me to get in. Hehe, I will find a sweet potato to eat , It's not that you can't fill your belly. "

Zhou Min asked him, "The cotton spinning mill seems to be a key unit in our county, right? The workers in the cotton spinning mill are treated pretty well, and the wages are high.

There must be other good things in their cafeteria, so how do you eat sweet potatoes? "

Jiang Yue was taken aback, it seemed that the question Zhou Min asked was beyond the comprehension of human beings: "It's good that the cotton spinning mill is profitable, but they also have a canteen management system!

Sister Zhou Min, you may not know that the logistics director in charge of the cafeteria is very strict and has a fierce attitude.

If I took someone else's rice and white noodles, wouldn't the people in the cafeteria have to pay for it out of their own pockets?
But if I only ate one of their sweet potatoes, then the problem shouldn't be a big deal. The rats in that cafeteria are very vicious, similar to the logistics director who manages the cafeteria.

I estimate that there are probably more than 10 sweet potatoes that are eaten by rats every day in the canteen, so I think if I eat just one, it will be fine. "

Hearing this, Zhou Min finally understood: the white flour rice in the cotton mill, corn dregs, whole wheat flour and so on.

These foodstuffs are more precious, and the higher-ups keep a close eye on them.

Therefore, the employees in the cafeteria will put all these coarse and fine grains into large tanks where rats can't harm them.

And because those sweet potatoes are too many and occupy too much land, there is no way to properly preserve them.

In addition, sweet potatoes are not valuable. When the income station went to the production team to buy them, they only cost 6 cents per pound.

Carrying a basket of sweet potatoes on the back, which weighs 6 to 70 catties, can only be sold for a few cents in total.

Therefore, many of the sweet potatoes that were piled up in the canteen by the canteen workers of the cotton spinning factory were taken away by mice every night.

If there are one or two more, you really can't notice it.

After having a preliminary understanding of Jiang Yue's character, Zhou Min began to sympathize with the poor child in front of him from the bottom of his heart.

"Let's not think about the past, let's live in the present."

Zhou Min asked Jiang Yue, "Do you like living in the mountains? Would you like to learn hunting from me?"

Jiang Yue scratched his head, "Life in the mountains is not as lively as in the city, but life here is very relaxing. I don't have to worry about my dad being taken away all the time, and I don't have to watch those bad guys about my age on the street every day." The boy's eyes rolled.

Especially today when I was passing Brother Liu, I saw him teaching my younger brother the knowledge in the textbooks, as well as common sense in life.

I also quietly asked Jiang Tao, is Brother Liu good to him?Did you beat or scold him?Can you understand what he teaches?
As a result, Jiang Tao said that although Brother Liu's lectures were not as professional as the teachers at the school, he was more patient. Uncle Liu would repeatedly explain and patiently enlighten him on what he didn't understand.

This makes it less difficult for my brother to learn, and besides the knowledge in the textbook, he can learn many, many other things.Jiang Tao said that he liked the atmosphere in the mountain very much.

Therefore, I think it is actually quite good to stay here and live in the future. "

Jiang Tao was serious, "I know that here, you can't have the idea of ​​waiting for what you want, everyone has to rely on their own hands to live well.

As for me, in the past, I couldn’t do anything except copying other people’s stuff.So of course I want to learn some skills. Sister Zhou Min, are you willing to teach me how to hunt? "

Zhou Min smiled and said, "Of course. Have you finished eating? Now we're ready to weave barbed wire."

Jiang Yue asked, "Isn't hunting with guns, bows and arrows, or setting traps? Why do you need to weave barbed wire?"

"If you tell me to make it up, do it. Are you the master, or am I the master?" Zhou Min estimated the size of the cave entrance halfway up the mountain, and then bent down to start cutting the wire.

In fact, she stole this wire from Han Xiaokang, including the vise that Zhou Min was using now, which was also Han Xiaokang's tool secretly.
