Returning to 83 Mountain Hunting

Chapter 142 Relying entirely on one’s own ability (please order the full version)

"Yes, there is not only a swimming pool, but also a hot spring. In winter, you can also swim. You can come here to spend the winter. I guarantee you will not be cold at all." Ji Chang said with a smile.

He himself is full of expectations for his new house, looking forward to its completion as soon as possible.

"There's a hot spring. Isn't that cool?" Gu Shuyuan's eyes widened with anticipation.

She had only heard of hot springs, but had not seen them yet.

If she hadn't known that the villa had just started construction, she would have wanted to see it.

"Brother Chang, can it be built this winter?" Lin Yuqing was also full of expectations. She had lived in Ji Chang's house for more than a month, and her relationship with Ji Chang and the others had become very close.

She still wants to come during the winter vacation.

If nothing else goes wrong, her father will definitely not go back to celebrate the New Year this year. She and her mother will probably come to see her father just like they did during the summer vacation.

"It will be good if it can be completed next winter, but the hot spring can be opened this winter." Ji Chang said with a smile.

The hot spring can be used outdoors, so there is no problem in using it in winter.

"That's great. We can come to the hot springs in winter. By then, my two little nieces will be born." Gu Shuyuan said happily.

"Well, I guess I'm already pregnant."

The due date is early December, and it may even be brought forward.

Therefore, Ji Chang planned to take Gu Shuyao to the provincial capital in mid-November.

Anyway, Xia Rulan now has a house with three bedrooms and one living room. Ji Chang and the others can live there as well.

Everyone is looking forward to the New Year, because Ji Chang said that people will bring them some gifts from Hong Kong Island and Neon.

In fact, many things will come back from neon, especially some electronic products.

Ji Chang has entrusted Tan Liming to help buy it and will send it back one after another.

Everyone had a great time fishing and barbecuing.

If it weren't for the fact that the weather was showing signs of deterioration, they would have continued playing until dark.

Not long after we returned, it rained heavily.

This rain lasted for many days because the typhoon made landfall.

Although it is relatively far away from them, there is a lot of rain.

It rained for five consecutive days, and Ji Chang didn't go hunting. He stayed at home with Gu Shuyao.

Ji Chang hasn't been so free for a long time. He spends his time at home reading books and watching TV with his wife, which is quite pleasant.

However, he also tidied up his backyard and planned what new vegetables he should plant.

Also prune the roses in your front yard.

The most uncomfortable thing these days are the mountaineers. They are very depressed because they have no way to go into the mountains to pick matsutake mushrooms.

If this is three yuan per pound of matsutake, one pound of matsutake can be exchanged for a lot of rice.

They cannot enter the mountains, but the matsutake mushrooms will continue to grow.

What Ji Chang needs are matsutake mushrooms that have not bloomed. Ji Chang will not purchase matsutake mushrooms that have bloomed.

Some people even venture into the mountains to pick matsutake mushrooms.

However, it is still difficult to find matsutake on rainy days.

The light in the forest is not good, and it is not easy to find matsutake mushrooms.

Many people go into the mountains, but few gain anything.

On the sixth day, it cleared up.

Everyone swarmed up the mountain, including Ji Chang.

Ji Chang can only choose mountain forests without pine trees when hunting now. Fortunately, there are many such mountains and forests.

This time he returned directly to his hometown village. There were no pine trees in the virgin forest there, and no one went to pick pine trees.

When returning to the village, Ji Chang found that many tea seedlings had been cultivated. It was not yet known whether they were alive.

In addition, Radix Pseudostellariae has been planted in large areas.

I have to say that the efficiency of the village officials is quite fast.

Fortunately, this was before Ji Chang started buying matsutake mushrooms. If he asked everyone to help during this time, no one would come.

Because it is better to go to Matsutake to work for Ji Chang to make money, and everyone knows how to choose.

Ji Chang couldn't raise the wages, otherwise how could anyone else recruit workers?

He can't just look at himself, he also needs to consider the market conditions at that time.

Otherwise, he will arouse the resentment of countless people.

It was already late when he returned to the village, so there were not many people in the village.

"Aunt Chunhua, are everything okay at home?" Ji Chang returned to his hometown and saw Liu Chunhua watering some vegetables in the yard.

Now she was taking care of Ji Chang's house. She saw that Ji Chang hadn't come back yet, and half of the land in the yard was abandoned, so she planted some vegetables.

"Ji Chang, why are you back?" Liu Chunhua quickly put down the water ladle, wiped her hands with the bib in front of her, and prepared to make tea for Ji Chang.

"Come back and take a look. Take a look around Heifeng Ridge to see if you can hit anything." Ji Chang explained with a smile.

"You come in and rest quickly. I'll make you tea. Everything is fine at home, and the black sheep have already given birth."

After hearing Liu Chunhua's words, Ji Chang took a look at the sheep pen in the yard and found that there was indeed a little black sheep in it.

In addition, the mountain deer should be about to give birth, and its belly is already very big.

These are important prey that Ji Chang will use to breed in his hunting grounds in the future, so Ji Chang is very happy that they have successfully given birth.

These are Ji Chang's future wealth, which can bring him a steady stream of income.

Workers in the forest farm have already started sowing alfalfa seeds, and I believe it won’t take many days to see them sprout.

For Ji Chang, everything is constantly getting better, moving in the direction of his ideal.

Ji Chang drank a cup of tea and chatted with Liu Chunhua for a few words.

People in the village have gone to the mountains to look for matsutake mushrooms early. After all, the temptation of three yuan per pound is too great. Unless there is really work in the fields and they can't leave, everyone is more willing to go to the mountains to look for matsutake mushrooms.

There is less management in the field, which means the yield is lower, and the impact is not very big.

If you can find dozens of kilograms of matsutake mushrooms, you can buy a lot of things.

Another point is not just money, but also looking for areas where matsutake grows.

This kind of money is not made every year, but every year.

The more locations you find matsutake mushrooms, the more you harvest and the more money you make.

Not to mention too much a month, I can earn 50 yuan, which is enough for everyone to run into the mountains at dawn every day.

The opportunities to make money are there. If you don't make them, others will, and the gap between the rich and the poor will become wider and wider.

No money, nothing, not even the fate of the next generation can be changed.

With money, the destiny of this generation can be changed, let alone the next generation?

In the past, they had no choice but to struggle for food and clothing.

Things are different now. With the opportunity to make money, you can change your destiny and become literate.

The concept of being inferior in everything but good in education is deeply ingrained in rural areas.

Many people don’t give it away because they really can’t afford it.

Even eating is a problem. How can I have money to send my children to school?
Staying alive is the first need for survival.But things are different now. If some people choose, they will naturally choose a better life and move to a better place.

Don’t they like the county seat?
If not, they just don't have the means to own their own house in the county, and they don't have the ability and opportunity to survive.

Now the opportunity for change is before everyone. Who would let go of such an opportunity?

Even the few people in the village who are usually very lazy are now very active and go into the mountains before dawn.

No one likes to be poor, just forced to be poor.

Therefore, the people in the village are particularly grateful to Ji Chang and give a thumbs up every time they mention Ji Chang.

Ji Chang chatted with Liu Chunhua for a while, then left home and went directly up the mountain with his donkey.

Not meeting anyone along the road, Ji Chang found that the vegetation in the mountains on the edge of the village was gradually recovering.

Obviously, it is because few people in the village go to the mountains to chop firewood.

In his impression, in his previous life, it took until the mid-90s for people in the village to gradually give up burning wood and start burning gas stoves or biogas stoves.

It was only from that time that the shrubs and trees in the mountain forests around the village became dense again and were no longer bare.

Although it can't be said to be dense now, because no one has cut firewood for a while, the iron mangosteens are now green again.

Ji Chang still likes this kind of change. After all, green water and green mountains look more comfortable than bare mountains and forests.

Not only does it look comfortable, but the air is also much better.

Soon, Ji Chang arrived at the primeval forest.

Ji Chang found that the road in this place was wider, and it was obvious that someone was constantly developing it.

But it's normal. After all, there used to be a lot of gallinobacteria in this primeval forest, and many people went into the forest to look for the fungi.

The higher-priced matsutake has made most people give up ordinary mushrooms such as red mushrooms and chicken fir mushrooms.

But some people did not give up, because everyone went to pick matsutake mushrooms, and it was easier for them to pick more red fungi and chicken fir trees.

As long as the quantity is sufficient, you can still make money.

Now, the price of red bacteria has increased to 3 cents, which is already worth more than before.

As soon as we enter the virgin forest, we often meet several villagers.

They all carry big bamboo baskets on their backs. These are newly bought for picking mushrooms. The main thing is a big one.

The bigger it is, the more it holds.

"Ji Chang, you've returned to the village." When the villagers saw Ji Chang, they couldn't help but come over and say hello.

"Yes, I came back to hunt. How was your harvest?" Ji Chang responded.

"It's only a few pounds, and I just entered the mountains. It has rained for so many days, so there are probably a lot of fungi in the mountains. I hope I can pick more today and make up for what I missed these days."

Ji Chang chatted with them for a few words, and then parted ways.

Ji often needs to go deeper, while they usually need to find the growth points of fungi.

The location where mushrooms grow is relatively fixed. Wherever they grow, spores will continue to divide and spread, and they will naturally continue to grow.

"Swish."

Ji Chang heard some noise while walking in the woods, so he stopped.

Qinghu and Ping An also stopped. They were very smart and decided their actions based on Ji Chang's reaction.

He gave the two hounds a stay signal, then took out his slingshot.

If nothing else, it is a small animal.

The donkey did not follow Ji Chang. It swung its tail and ate the tender grass on the ground.

Ji Chang had already put the Tao Pill on his slingshot and cautiously approached the direction of the sound.

At this time, Ji Chang did not activate his health bar mode.

Because he felt that the health bar and mode took away a lot of the fun of hunting.

He no longer came to hunt for money, but simply to have fun. Naturally, he couldn't use super-technical aids like health bars.

Relying on his own abilities, he felt that hunting was exciting and satisfying.

This feeling is like fishing and electric fish. People who like fishing will definitely not like electric fish.

For Ji Chang, using his own various auxiliary means is just like electric fish, there is no happiness in it.

Lifting his feet slowly and landing lightly, Ji Chang slowly approached the direction of the sound.

After a while, Ji Chang heard the sound of 'gugu'.

Pheasant!

Ji Chang naturally knew that this was the sound of a pheasant.

In fact, Ji Chang guessed it was a pheasant when he heard the noise.

Because the sound sounded like a pheasant using its claws to dig through the leaves in the forest in search of food.

Most hunters have this kind of discrimination ability.

Discipline in this aspect is still relatively lacking, so he has to improve his abilities.

After a while, Ji Chang saw several pheasants harmoniously looking for food under a big tree.

Ji Chang directly locked one of them with his slingshot, and then released the slingshot.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound, and the pheasant in the distance fell down.

There is no doubt that Ji Chang shot a pheasant.

"Pfft."

The other pheasants jumped into the air and fled this dangerous place as quickly as possible.

Of course, Ji Chang had no way to chase and kill those pheasants that escaped, so he could only watch them fly away.

However, Ji Chang was very satisfied with being able to hit one with his own ability.

He didn't rely on his health bar today, he relied entirely on his own ability.

"Ping An, come here and get that pheasant back." Ji Chang gave an order to Ping An.

Ping An immediately jumped out, and three or four minutes later, Ping An came back with the pheasant in his mouth.

Ji Chang bled it directly, and only after that did he receive his own hunting space.

"Good dog, well done." Ji Chang took out a piece of meat and fed it to Ping An and encouraged it.

The green tiger in the distance was a little depressed, but soon Ji Chang called it to him and gave it a piece of meat as a reward.

It is also worthy of reward for quietly squatting in place and executing Ji Chang's orders.

Next, Ji Chang began to explore in the forest.

To be honest, it would be difficult for Ji Chang to find other animals if he only relied on himself.

Unless, he can rely on two hounds.

After all, other hunting dogs rely on hunting dogs, otherwise how could they find those animals?
Most wild animals rely on hearing, vision, and smell.

Humans are not strong in these, so they need to rely on hounds as their assistants to hunt.
