Back to 80, start from gold digging

Chapter 36
"It can't be done, Dad can't walk anymore, rest for a while—" Zhao Mingyu threw off the rope bundle in his hand, and sat down on the big rock on the river beach.

There is a river at the foot of Nanshan, from east to west, flowing through seven or eight villages in the territory of Qiushui Town, and Bailangli Village is in the middle.

The water rises during the summer rainy season. The widest part of the river can reach [-] feet, and the narrowest point is more than ten meters.In the dry season, it is greatly reduced, but one-tenth.

In winter, the river bed sinks, the water surface freezes, and small stones are exposed shallowly on the shore.

There are large and small blue rocks scattered on the river beach. After being washed by the rainwater and the river, the sharp edges and corners have been worn away, and they stand round and steady under the corner of the mountain.

After walking for nearly an hour, he arrived at the bottom of the mountain wheezing and panting, without being tired from shouting, this has reached Zhao Mingyu's limit.

Zhao Wenduo also understood that bringing Zhao Mingyu up the mountain was not a burden, but it was not far behind.The reason why there is no objection is that the possibility of being agreed to come alone is very small, and the probability of multiple people agreeing to this trip increases.Second, I also want to take the opportunity to exercise this sick father and walk more, which will be effective in curing laziness.

"I'll go up the mountain first, and you can go up after resting." Zhao Wenduo didn't say no, he tightened his clothes, put the bundle of ropes on his shoulders, and looked up at the way down the mountain.

Nanshan has a strong head and a weak tail, and the entire mountain is in the shape of a "tadpole".

Although Weishan is easy to walk, there are few forests and few things.There are no houses within a radius of [-] meters around Nanshan. They don’t live nearby, and it’s no big deal to walk a long way to the end of the mountain.

In winter, the leaves are all gone, the bare branches are less covered by shadows, and the trails and mountain roads are a little more clear.

Looking at the terrain connecting the top and bottom of the mountain from a distance, I chose to plan a more obvious path with concave and convex interlacing, and I didn't hesitate to walk away without hesitation.

A string of footprints waded out in the snow, and soon extended tens of meters away.

Zhao Mingyu looked at the thin gray figure, walked over the bluestone at the corner of the mountain, stepped onto the snowy path, twisted and turned, turned left and right, and disappeared from sight little by little.

"...The third child is not very old, he will only be 12 years old—" murmured.

Waking up late, accompanied by the snowflakes that came with the wind, it fell coldly on his face.

There was silence all around, and the quiet people panicked.The stones under his buttocks were cold, and he stood up hastily: "Hey, third child, wait for your father and I—" He rushed forward two steps, and said to himself: "You are so young, you can walk very fast .”

At the same time, Zhao Wenduo had already reached the top of the mountain, and began to patrol the road halfway up the mountain, looking for clips and wire ropes.

Crossing the intersection of the head and the tail, and entering the boundary of the mountain, the density of the forest increases, but the snow on the ground is much lighter.Perhaps because of the branches above the head, the snow that fell on the ground has been reduced by half. After the midday sun, the snow melted on the thick leaves and the residual lotus of the dry pond.

Along the wet path in the forest, follow the trend.

The roots of the trees passing by on both sides would be carefully searched for, and when they walked more than ten meters away, they finally found a noose.

A thin layer of dead leaves camouflaged it, but the inside was empty, and no paw prints were seen on the residual snow beside it.Obviously, no wild animals passed by here.In other words, there is none in the surrounding area.

Generally, sets are put up in pairs, which is also to increase the probability of the prey being stepped on and form an area blockade from a small area.

Using this as a starting point, I searched around and found two more sets, but they found nothing.It's just that two strands of the iron wire facing west were broken, and there were some hoof marks in the surrounding area, which should be something that was caught, and it was broken off again.

Zhao Wenduo untied a few empty sets, put them away, and took them back to Wu Dakui.

Now that traces have been found on the west side, let's walk in this direction, the word 'slip' is mainly in the same word, and search around for a while.Less than three trees away, a brown-yellow object appeared in sight.

Yo, there's something--

Zhao Wenduo took a few steps quickly, bypassing the trees in front of him, and when he came close, it was a dead roe deer.

Between the two oaks with thick arms was a large animal trap, with an animal leg caught in the closed sawtooth, and the other front hoof had obvious strangling scars, which could be judged to be a beast that was stepped on before. After getting out of the trap and breaking free, he limped and stepped on the trap again within a short distance.

The unlucky guy who lost both legs obviously couldn't hold on, and fell down after holding on for a while.After touching the body of the roe deer, which is still soft, it has not been completely frozen, and it should not take more than half a day.

There were also three wire sheaths around the clamp, two of which were covered with rabbits, all of which got into their heads, and they would struggle when they panicked, and the more they struggled, the tighter they became, until they broke their necks.

Generally, the places where gregarious wild animals pass by are mostly fixed routes within a certain period of time. Experienced hunters will estimate where they may pass next time based on the hoof prints, and put clips and covers on them.

Obviously, Wu Dakui is a good player.

Three of the big and small ones were caught in the four-piece suit, which means that the surrounding area is a beast path, and there is a high probability of waiting for wild animals to pass by by guarding here.

After observing the surrounding environment, Zhao Wenduo took out his slingshot and contained stones of various sizes in his shoulder pocket.

On the tall pine trees on both sides, a few squirrels poked out their heads and propped up their big fluffy tails, darting from one branch to another.

Standing by the tree, Zhao Wenduo drew his bow fully, aimed at the one diagonally above, "嗖—" a stone hit the past, and the big tail fluttered down from the tree.

The stones were thrown quickly, and the sound was not too loud. I saw my companions fall from the tree, most of them were stunned, and those who were a little further away didn't even notice it, still jumping here and there.

Zhao Wenduo didn't move. He leaned on the back of the tree, aimed at the target, and fired consecutively. [-]% of his shots would not miss.

After a while, a small pile was gathered in the snow, about seven or eight were counted.The squirrel here is really thick.

It's impossible to grab wool in one place, and I was thinking about whether to go to another place to hunt again, when I heard a sound of "suosuo-", a roe deer drilled out of a branch of a short and dense tree.

Under the wet leaves, there are hidden autumn fruits and tender grass buds. The roe deer lowers its head and sniffs its nose, pushes away the mud and snow, and chews the food inside.

Zhao Wenduo, who was leaning sideways behind the tree, felt a larger stone in his pocket, and quietly set up the slingshot——

"Third, where are you?"

wow-

Ah, miss!
The stones that were thrown fell on the tree, and "crash-" knocked off two dead leaves.

Suddenly there was a sound, which startled both people and beasts.The roe deer turned around, planed all four hooves and got into the tree.

"Oh, I saw a roe deer running past just now—" Zhao Mingyu pushed aside the blocking branches and exposed her head.

Zhao Wenduo withdrew his momentum, holding a slingshot in his hand, and was standing there staring at him.

"..." Zhao Mingyu realized later, and said uncertainly: "Then—is it because I was scared by the sound of shouting?"

"What do you think?" Zhao Wenduo resisted the urge to roll his eyes, he didn't come early, he didn't come late, he just came up at this time.

"It's really not up to me, I didn't know you were hitting it." Zhao Mingyu also felt aggrieved, just because he almost didn't get over this part of the mountain climbing, he went smoothly ten meters away, and took a rest after 20 meters away , It took a lot of effort to get here, and I called out without hesitation, see where these three girls are, stop walking in vain, and work hard.

It's all over, what else can I say.Zhao Wenduo put away the slingshot in his hand, and pointed at some wild animals on the ground: "The rabbit and roe deer are sneaky, and the squirrel was shot just now. That's all, let's take it down the mountain."
