Build a farm from the mountains

Chapter 288 Pure White Moose
Wu Weiguo felt sorry for his daughter, and said angrily: "Made! It's too early!"

Gao Lijuan was afraid that her daughter would cry, so she kept touching her head. Wu Hao explained while driving that within a year, relatives at grandma's side will have children.

There are also quite a lot of people who come to visit grandma's house on the sixth day of the lunar new year, and most of them are younger than her. It would be nice to have some money left this time.

The little girl held her mouth in distress, and slapped her thigh angrily: "Who will dare to come next year after paying so much!"

The three of them smiled wryly, and they didn't know how to explain it to her. The child would be angry too, so they could only coax her a few words.

It is not tiring to drive around the house. After arriving home, the four of them stay in the house for a while and then go to work in the greenhouse.

The little girl bowed her head and followed behind, pouted after touching her pocket, and occasionally muttered something, her voice was too low, no one knew what she was talking about.

She is a landlord and has several long-term workers. Regardless of her young age, she is also the king of children. She is working and playing in the shed, so she forgets about the unhappy things.

It began to snow in the evening and continued until the next evening, followed by two days of high winds.

Wu Hao didn't sleep well in the past two days. He took people to look at the straw curtains on the shed. Even if they were pressed with bricks and wood, they would be blown away by the wind.

Living in the mountains is not only about guarding against wild animals, but also fighting against nature.

Wu Meng helped him press down the last straw curtain and said, "My dad means to set a date in two days and let me get married in the first month. I think it's a bit too soon."

Wu Hao smiled, it must be unpleasant to be in a hurry to sleep, man.

If you haven't experienced it, you can really bear it. If you have experienced it, then you will miss it.

It feels good to fall in love, but it's different when you get married. Brothers want to get married but don't want to be so fast.

Then he will persuade the second uncle to set the date for next month, so that the brothers can experience the feeling of falling in love more.

When walking home, he said: "Go to the mountain in the morning on the [-]th."

"Okay." Wu Meng nodded and agreed. The second brother said he would go to the mountain, but he never asked more questions.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Wu Hao gave the people who worked in the shed a day off. In the evening, the family and Professor Xu ate Lantern Festival and set off fireworks.

The next morning, I loaded the car with Wu Meng, bringing pots and pans, tents, and fodder for Heifeng.

Going into the mountains in summer not only has to beware of wild animals, snakes, insects, rats and ants, but also getting lost and heatstroke.

Basically no one would drive a cart to go hunting. In summer, an old cow goes into the mountains and suffers more than others. The forest is like a steamer.

There is a lot of forage to be pulled in winter, and there is food under the snow, and the old cow has no strength to pull the cart after eating only these things.

They also need to eat grass when they go home.

After removing the forage and tent salutes, you can’t pull too many things, and it will take a lot of time to serve the old cow along the way.

He has a store where he can buy it directly, and he can go into the mountains to pull a bag or two of hay to fool people. This time, he will go with Wu Meng, so he will pull more.

Luckily there are trucks available for transport.

The two brothers took only a bearskin, two guns and four hand grenades, packed everything, and drove the dogs and horses into the cart.

Wu Hao turned his head and saw that the two minks that were running around on the ground just now were gone. He went into the barn and grabbed the big one who was pretending to be sleeping and threw it into the car.

Can't help cursing: "If you don't move, you will become a pig."

Da Mao also exercises regularly, and Er Mao has become more and more lazy since his belly got bigger, and his body seems to have gained a lot of weight.

It still has more than two months to give birth, so instead of hunting dangerous animals, it will definitely be fine to go up the mountain to chase sables.

If you don't let it move, it will soon become useless.

Wu Meng pointed to the golden eagle flying in the sky and asked, "Do you want to take it?"

Wu Hao said without raising his head, "Forget it."

It is not difficult for the golden eagle to catch the sable, but its ten-centimeter-long claws will dig out many holes in the sable, so that the mink skin is worthless.

Now the golden eagle is still young, and it is easy to be killed when meeting other golden eagles in the forest.

The golden eagle is too arrogant, he insists on fighting with others in the sky, but he has no choice but to do it in a hurry down below.

Greet Wu Meng to get in the car, drive out from the west gate and go straight to the pasture, stick to the south forest and go west, and stop at the north of the wetland.

The temperature was low in winter, and it was very cold for the dog to lie on its stomach in the car. The two brothers drove the animals out of the car, and then went into the woods to find wood to make a fire.

Wu Meng sat by the fire to keep warm. Just now, the second elder brother mentioned that Zhang Liang was going to catch the sable, so he couldn't help but ask, "Is it possible for Zhang Liang to come here?"

"Probably not." Wu Hao was also not sure about the kid's veins, there were forests in the south of the township, and there were also forests in the west.

But Zhang Liang did not take the usual route, he might have traveled more than 200 miles to come here.

It is difficult to see sables near the countryside, because sables can earn foreign exchange, and they have been caught for many years.

Not only hunters hunt, but also the anti-union, railway repairers, road repairers, forest farms and the like all catch valuable animals.

Now, even if a sable fur is worth 700 yuan, it is still a year and a half salary for an iron rice bowl.

This is not equivalent to seven thousand future generations, but multiplied by more than 100 times, which is equivalent to more than one hundred thousand future generations.

The monthly salary is [-], and the annual salary is more than [-].

A sable is 10 yuan for walking.

Who sees it and lets it go?

The old mink will not get close to human gathering places easily, and they all live in places that are inaccessible.

What is inaccessible, at least there is no one in a hundred miles.

Only those stunned green sables who were born less than two years ago would occasionally run around the village.

I ran away when I saw a person. It went up the mountain, but the dogs couldn't catch it. It was not easy to catch it.

It is even more difficult to catch sables in summer, the ground is full of weeds and leaves, and it is very difficult to find the old way.

"I don't think so!" Wu Meng laughed and said, "As you said, Zhang Liang might be in a hurry. This time he went to the mountain to catch ten or eight sables and sell them for money."

"Bragging!" Wu Hao curled his lips in disdain.

This is not because he looks down on people, but because of the small number of sables and their living habits.

Even if there were more than 1 sables in [-], they were distributed in tens of millions of hectares of forests in the northeast.

There are many places that are not suitable for them to survive.

There are only four or five sables within a radius of [-] miles outside a hundred miles suitable for their survival, and they still live alone.

With a radius of fifty miles, it is larger than the urban areas of some prefecture-level cities.

A piece of woods and hills is equivalent to a community in the city.

It's such a big neighborhood that it's tiring for a person to walk around. Is it easy to find a sable in this neighborhood, and there are trees to cover it.

How difficult is it to find it in the woods in summer?

In winter in Northeast China, when you go out for a walk, your knees will be cold and cold, and it will take several days to walk one or two hundred miles.

Sometimes the toes can freeze off, and rheumatism can kill me.

So how long would it take to find the sable within a fifty-mile radius?
How long does it take to get the clamp down?Its old road may not be walked once in more than ten days. How long will it take to wait for it?
If there are too many people, it will leave a strong smell, and it will run away when it smells it.

Even if you really catch ten sables at a time, you can hunt down a few prey or dig up a few ginseng seedlings when you go home.

How much are these things worth? More than 1 yuan!
Enter the mountain five times a year to earn 5 yuan!
What kind of concept is this?Earn 100 years of salary!

This is a thunder, more evil than selling vegetables for ten yuan!
Earning 100 years of salary, how much work do you have to do?There are more than 900 million people in Harbin City, and at least 100 million people go to the mountains to hunt.

I have to go to five places these five times, so what should I do next year?This is not a game that can be refreshed.

It is nonsense to go to other villages to make money.

Normal hunting can earn more than 1 yuan a year.

Even if he really earns 5 yuan, it will still be less every year, because he has killed less prey these five times.

You won't be able to make money if you protect them in the future.

It is also easy to make more money, run into the mountains, and other hunters are dead.

Wu Hao frowned and thought about it. He directly used the yellow-throated marten to chase the sables without traps. It was also difficult to find ten of them that time.

After roasting for a while, I felt warm, drove the animals into the car, and drove west from the grassland on the edge of the wetland.

Wu Meng reminded: "Zhang Liang may not come, the south is closest to us."

Wu Hao shook his head: "Forget it, it's easy to run away to the south, and it's not good to meet it."

When the sable heard the gunshots, they might leave their lair and run away. If someone else went there to catch the sable, the two of them would have made their trip in vain.

When you meet Zhang Liang, it's okay to shoot at each other and interfere with each other, but it's hard to deal with strangers.

If there is a conflict, offending the hunter is not a trivial matter.

Wu Meng always beat Deng Xiaoliu when he was in school, even so, Deng Xiaoliu was about to shoot last time.

If you hit a stranger, if you pretend to be Bifei, let him stand naked, or hit him kneeling.

With the blood of a hunter and the urine of a Northeasterner, he will definitely shoot if he doesn't have a gun in his hand.

If we don't bury him today, then the matter will definitely not be over.

This shame is a lifetime thing. After he returns home, he won't be able to offend you on the surface, and secretly waits for the windy weather.

Take corn grains mixed with medicine, and kill your animals with medicine, even those who are anxious dare to buy a house.

Not only will he do it this time, it's even possible to fire a black gun.

Wu Hao doesn't go hunting near other villages to grab business, which is very offensive.

After hunting in the Southwest, he gave up the place if he made a lot of money. The pig hunting gods saw that he made a lot of money last year.

Many people go hunting there, if he goes again, he will be hated, and if he dares to pretend, there will be many people secretly causing trouble.

No amount of bullying can offend too many people.

He can go far away. The forests one or two thousand miles to the west can go directly to the prairie. Who makes it convenient for him to have a car.

But he couldn't go when he drove to the end of the wetland. He wanted to go to the prairie, but unfortunately there was no road, so he turned south to the southernmost end of the wetland.

I drove east for more than ten miles and stopped. I raised my wrist to look at my watch. It was already past noon after I left home.

The two brothers got out of the car and drained the water in the water tank, and then set up a tent to make a fire to cook and feed the animals.

Going south into the forest for more than 60 miles, there will be sables. They are not in a hurry, and decide to stay here for a night before setting off.

After getting up in the morning and eating, put Heifeng in a pony carriage, pack the salute and fodder, and let the dogs take turns to rest in the carriage.

They walked all the way to the south, and the road was quite quiet. Big Brown took the lead in finding some rabbits and pheasants, and only occasionally saw the footprints of silly roe deer and wild boar.

Wu Hao smiled wryly and said, "We brothers are not busy, so just bring your uncle here."

Wu Meng curled his lips: "It's hard to invite my uncle now!"

In the past, if the family was not rich, they would not go to the mountains. Now that they are rich, they will not come. Old Wu just said a word.

Instigate your father?
"Wang Wang Wang ~"

A big brown cry came from ahead, and Wu Hao walked over to see that the footprint was as big as two mineral water bottles.

It’s really no exaggeration, it’s almost like putting two bottles of Nongfu spring side by side. Only moose can leave such a big footprint.

He knelt down to check the snow he had kicked out and the bottom of the footprints, and said, "The ones going east have been away for a day, and it is estimated that they weigh more than 500 catties."

Moose can reach three meters in length, two meters in height, and weigh up to one ton. They are not as heavy as hippos and rhinos, but bigger than them.

The price of this moose is about the same as that of a sable, but it is a pity that it has been away for too long and it is very difficult to catch up.

The moose is actually very powerful, regardless of its weight, when it comes to running, the wild boar is no match for it, and it can run fifty miles an hour.

The most amazing thing is that it can run continuously for five hours when it slows down.

The "water-avoiding golden-eyed beast" can swim more than 20 miles in the water, and it is difficult for tigers to catch it.

The long legs can directly walk through the sixty to seventy centimeters of snow shells, but the short legs of the Siberian tiger can't make it through, so they can only stare blankly.

Wu Hao didn't want to chase it, so he led Hei Feng on his way, and arrived at a high ground the next afternoon.

The terrain ahead is rolling and undulating. It is difficult to catch sables in this kind of mountains, so we can only go inside to find Xiaogushan.

Occasionally, the hunting dog will make a sound. For example, the big brown will bark when it finds footprints, and the sable may run away when it hears the dog barking.

Wu Hao found a small valley three miles away from the hill in front of him. After searching, he found no other animals, so he decided to camp here tonight.

In the morning, the dog and Heifeng were left behind, and the two brothers took the gun and the net bag and took Da Mao and Er Mao to the hill.

They didn't want to waste time with clips when they entered the mountain this time, so Feng Fatty made five more net bags.

At the foot of the mountain, they found new footprints of sables, and started to use small wooden sticks to set up the net bag.

This hill is not high, nor does it occupy a large area. Wu Hao took out honey and gave the two minks a bite, then pointed to the hill.

Da Mao climbed the mountain very fast, Er Mao was lazy at home, and climbed a little carelessly, and followed the footprints on the mountain to search.

When it found the sable, it activated its hunting instinct again, howled to inform Da Mao, and then started chasing.

The sable was pinched from front to back, so it chose to run down the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain, it turned a corner and plunged into the net pocket.

The yellow-throated marten hunted without leaving anyone alive, and when Wu Hao ran over, the sable's neck was bleeding profusely.

He wanted to take care of Maozi's more valuable sable, but this time he didn't want to catch anyone alive, so he took out his knife and gave the sable a good time.

Open up and feed the internal organs to the two yellow-throated minks. After Wu Meng finished collecting the net bag, the two brothers continued to search for Xiaogushan.

Two sables were caught in the next four days, and most of the time was spent on the road, and I had to go back to the camp at night. Although it took a long time, it was much faster than waiting in the trap.

This group of mountains is not small, and it is far enough away from human settlements. There should be two or three sables on the nearby mountains.

Wu Hao gave up the search, and had to keep some sables for them to breed and grow together. He had to wait two years before catching them.

If all of them are caught, other sables will come here and find that they are obviously suitable for living, but there is no trace of the same kind.

Then it feels dangerous subconsciously, and instinctively stays away from here.

The two brothers rested overnight in the valley, got up a little late the next morning, packed up their things and walked back from the east of the valley.

They came from the north, and there was a lot of snow on that road, and they were going to circle back east.

Just after walking for seven or eight miles, Da Zong stopped in the middle of two forests and raised his head to sniff, then turned his head to look east and barked twice.

A few old dogs also looked over there, and Great Pyrenees and Caucasus put on attacking poses when they smelled the scent.

Wu Hao knew from observing Da Zong that the prey had been away for a while, and when he walked over to see it, it turned out to be the footprints of a lynx.

Wu Meng muttered: "Bigfoot." After squatting down to observe, he said: "Come from the south this morning, and then go northeast."

It was two hours away and it was difficult to catch up. Wu Hao led the horse and continued to go northeast, bypassing this forest and then heading north directly.

Just walking out of the mountain road between these two forests, the big brown nostrils in front of him are slightly open. Even if there is no wind today, it can still smell a strong smell.

After running tens of meters, it stopped next to the footprints. It looked north, then turned to the east, lowered its head and bared its teeth, with hatred in its eyes.

Wu Meng walked over first, carefully observed the dense footprints on the ground, and sneered after a long while, "There seem to be twenty wolves coming from the north, and they should be following four reindeer."

After reading the footprints, Wu Hao said one word: "Chasing!"

They both had guns, and four hand grenades, plus nine dogs, especially Pyrenees and Caucasus were already taller than old dogs.

These four dogs, against a large wolf weighing about [-] catties, are absolutely victorious one-on-one.

Most importantly, this time they engaged in a sneak attack.

The wolves turned here before dawn. If they couldn't catch up with the reindeer, they had to find a place to rest.

If he had a grudge against wolves, he had to chase them down. Wu Hao was worried that they would smell them when the wind suddenly rose, so he chased the wolves for more than two hours.

The footprints in front of him went to the northeast, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Nine dogs scattered in front to lead the way, and after another six or seven miles of chasing, the footprints of the wolves went into the woods, and Xiao Zong was in the woods.

It ran forward for more than ten meters, and softly called twice to the low windy place in front of it.

He raised his head and sniffed the air again, walked a few meters to the east, looked down at the footprints, and then looked northeast.

Wu Hao let go of the black wind and walked into the woods and laughed after watching it. The nest is the place where the wolves rest. Judging from the size of the footprint on the east slope, it should be left by the previous lynx.

A gathering of wolves leaves a strong smell that spreads over time, and the lynx smell it to the east.

It doesn't care about the number of wolves, and chooses to attack the wolf sentry.

Wu Hao squatted down to observe carefully, and estimated that the lynx had just left for more than an hour, and the wolves had left for less than two hours, so they should be ten miles ahead.

Turning around and returning to the carriage, he said, "Let's light a fire and rest."

After chasing for such a long time, the dog is also tired when people are cold.

If the wolves are not resting or hunting, it will be difficult for them to catch up.

While the brothers were making the fire, the wind was blowing up in the treetops, and ten miles to the northeast of them, the wolves were resting.

The four reindeer and the wolf pack were separated by two forests, five or six miles away, and there was a moose in a forest not far northeast of the reindeer.

He was pure white and tall.

This fur and deer head are worth more than meat.

The moose is walking towards the herd of reindeer, where there are hilly terrain, and there are two small pastures nearby.

To the north of it, two men were also making a fire and cooking.
