Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 174 Taking the female forest musk deer up the mountain

Because it was snowing, the three of them didn't go back to sleep. They got up and opened the back door.

The cold wind outside the house is facing my face, and everything is covered with white snow. It can be said that a spring breeze comes suddenly overnight, and thousands of pear trees are in bloom.

"Haha~"

Xiaoxia giggled and reached out to grab the snow on the steps. Lin Heng and Xiulan hadn't played in the snow for a long time. They both stretched out their hands to squeeze a handful of snow. Lin Heng quickly threw the snowball into his wife's neck.

"Ah! You're dead!"

Xiulan let out a scream and beat and chased Lin Heng.

"beat!!"

Xiaoxia watched the two playing around, staggered, picked up the snowball and started hitting them.

After playing for a while, Lin Heng was cornered by Xiulan, who ravaged him with snow and stuffed a pair of cold hands into his clothes.

Lin Heng was so stubborn that he was not afraid of boiling water and stuffed his cold hands into his wife's clothes.

"what!!"

Xiulan screamed again because of the ice, and then angrily pulled Xiaoxia to join Lin Heng.

Xiulan iced him with one hand, pinched his face with the other and said, "Do you still dare?"

Xiaoxia also imitated her mother and said in a sweet voice, "Do you still dare?"

"I was wrong, but I will try again next time!"

Lin Heng laughed and broke away from Xiulan, then picked up Xiaoxia and spun around in the air, teaching this little wind-leaved cotton-padded jacket a lesson.

"Haha~"

However, whether she was spinning in circles or icing her, she always had a smile on her face.

"Okay, be careful of catching a cold and go back to the house." Xiulan reminded.

"it is good."

Lin Heng nodded. After playing for a while, he had enough. It is indeed easy to catch a cold for a long time.

Xiulan poured water from the electric kettle to wash her face. Lin Heng lit up the fire in the fire room and hung up the kettle to boil water.

The snow was fun, but it was really cold after playing, and the cotton-padded jackets and trousers the three of them wore were a bit unbearable.

After the oven was warm, the two took Xiaoxia to the kitchen to cook, but they did not dare to leave her alone by the stove.

There were no vegetables left last night but there was a lot of rice left. Xiulan cut some sausages and cracked two eggs to make a delicious pot of egg fried rice.

"It's delicious!"

Lin Heng ate it with big mouthfuls, and finally added a little garlic sprouts to make the taste of the bowl of rice go up to a new level, as if it had a soul.

Xiaoxia herself took a wooden spoon and put it into her mouth, but she couldn't eat much every time. Lin Heng didn't come over to feed her until he finished eating.

After eating, Lin Heng did not go to Hongfeng Mountain. Instead, he took a ladder and went to the backyard to watch the bees.

I climbed up and opened the beehive. In the morning, the bees shrank into a ball due to the cold and barely moved.

He hasn't taken care of the bee much since he collected it, but he can often hear the healing buzz.

Now when I open it, I see that these hard-working little guys have occupied half of this extra large beehive, with six nest spleens and four honey spleens.

The population size is more than three or four times larger, and it is estimated that there are 20,000 bees.

"Xiulan, I have four honey spleens. Do you want to cut the honey?" Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and asked.

Xiulan glanced at the beehive, shook her head and said, "There is still a lot of honey in the house. There is still space in this bee bucket. Let's save it for them to spend the winter."

"That's okay, then let's wait until next spring to cut it."

Lin Heng nodded. He actually wanted to eat the honey produced by the bees he raised. He broke off a little bit and put it in his mouth. It was sweet and had a strong floral aroma.

Nowadays, very few people even use pesticides, and honey can be said to have absolutely zero pollution.

After covering the beehive again, Lin Heng asked Xiulan to bring two mats made of bristles and cover them around the beehive to keep warm.

"This forest musk deer is really noisy."

Xiulan complained.

Lin Heng was also a little helpless. The forest musk deer had been really noisy these past two days, especially in the morning and evening.

He walked down the ladder with a piece of honey and fed it to Xiulan and his daughter, and said, "If that doesn't work, I'll take it to the woods and give it a try today?"

He told Xiulan yesterday about the idea of ​​using female forest musk deer to seduce male forest musk deer.

Xiulan puffed out her cheeks and nodded: "I suggest you go today. If it stops barking after its estrus period, your plan will be in vain. As for the fireplace and walls, you can do it in a few days. Well."

Lin Heng thought about it, and immediately said: "You are right, then let's go today."

After going to the back mountain to take a look at Lin Shek, Lin Heng went to his eldest brother and Li Shiwei and asked them who wanted to go to the woods with him.

Father Lin took a sip of noodles, looked at the three of them and said, "You three might as well forget it together and go dig some kudzu and yams."

Li Baiquan also nodded: "It's okay to do it together."

"Then let's go together. After you eat, we'll leave." Lin Heng nodded.

After saying that, he turned around and went home and fed the female forest musk deer some grass, but this guy didn't eat it at all and kept squealing there.

"Forget it if you don't want to eat, then just leave."

Lin Heng took it out and replaced it with a strong brown rope and tied it around his neck. A shackle was also made on the leg with a thin rope, so that it could walk, but it could not run.

Preventative work must be done well. He didn't want to lose his wife and lose his troops.

"I should have had this idea earlier and pierced its nose." Lin Heng said looking at the little guy.

These ropes may break free, and getting a rope through the nose like a cow is 100% safe.

Xiulan was speechless: "You are too careful, you will definitely not be able to escape."

"Haha, that's right." Lin Heng laughed, put the female forest musk deer into the basket, and covered her face with branches.

This thing originally weighed only a dozen kilograms, but after Xiulan took good care of it for half a year, it now weighs more than twenty kilograms. It can be said that it is fat and strong, and it is a good time for breeding.

After telling Xiulan, Lin Heng carried Lin She, picked up the bow and arrows and left with Xiongba, and called his eldest brother and Li Shiwei to set off to Getenggou together.

"There is a tractor!" Li Shiwei said, pointing to the road.

Lin Heng turned around and saw that the tractor was pulling a black wooden pole. He immediately understood: "This is pulling a telegraph pole. It seems that the electricity will be connected soon."

In this era, there were very few cement telephone poles. In rural areas, they were made of black wood that had been boiled with asphalt. The anti-corrosion effect was also very good and would not break for thirty or forty years.

"It's good that the power is on, otherwise it will be dark at 6pm and light up at 6am this winter." Lin Yue said with a smile.

"Yes, after the electricity is turned on, I can play cards at night and have dinner later." Li Shiwei also nodded.

Since he was walking while talking, he just took a few steps when he saw Tian Dongfu and Zhao Chengcheng coming towards them.

"Uncle Tian, ​​Uncle Zhao." Lin Heng nodded and shouted.

Tian Dongfu said: "Lin Heng, I'm just going to find you. Are you planning to go up the mountain?"

Lin Heng nodded: "Yes, take the forest musk deer I caught to breed it."

"Then wait a moment, come here and we'll see you if we have something to do." Tian Dongfu said, holding his shoulder.

"Okay." Lin Heng handed Lin Shek to his elder brother and went to the side with them.

Tian Dongfu looked at Lin Heng and said: "I'm looking for you mainly for two things. The No. 8 Electrical Pipe Station will come to pull the electricity. The wires will only be delivered outside the house. The farmers need to buy the wires and light switches in the house themselves.

What I mean is that if you buy a batch for our Murakami and sell it at a lower price, it won't stop you from making money. Small profits but quick turnover. After all, 200 or so households are quite a lot. What do you think? "

Lin Heng had already thought about this and had this idea. More than 200 households can earn one or two hundred yuan from doing this.

After thinking about it, he still gave Tian Dongfu the face: "Okay, just listen to Uncle Tian, ​​this matter will be taken care of by me."

It doesn’t matter if you make dozens of dollars less, and it’s good to have a good reputation.

Tian Dongfu grinned, very satisfied with Lin Heng, and then looked at Zhao Xianyang.

Zhao Chengcheng patted Lin Heng on the shoulder and said: "You will go to town with us on the 12th. You will participate in the commendation meeting when the time comes. It is the ten thousand yuan household promotion thing I told you last time."

Lin Heng nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Tian Dongfu smiled and said, "Okay, that's all. Go and do your work."

Lin Heng said something, turned around and left.

"Let's go." Lin Heng looked at his elder brother and Li Shiwei and said.

Li Shiwei asked curiously: "What's going on?" Lin Heng said as he walked: "It's not a big deal, it's just asking me to attend a commendation meeting for a household worth ten thousand yuan, and by the way, I can buy a batch of lower-priced light bulbs, wires and electric lights for the village. "

Hearing this, Lin Yue was shocked: "Damn it, you are going to be in the newspapers and become a celebrity."

In this day and age, being in a newspaper is a great thing, and being commended is an even greater honor.

Lin Heng waved his hand indifferently: "It's not as bad as you think."

Li Shiwei said with envy: "It's really enviable. This can be regarded as a glorious ancestor. If I can be commended once, my wife will definitely not dare to show off in front of me in the future."

Lin Heng grinned: "I don't have to, Xiulan is very virtuous."

Li Shiwei's back molars were almost broken, and he really wanted to give Lin Heng a hammer.

The three of them came to Getengou while talking and laughing. This place was very far away and it took more than two hours to get there.

After entering the ditch and walking all the way up, I didn't hear the howling of the forest musk deer. Instead, it was the female forest musk deer in the basket on Lin Heng's back that kept calling.

When he reached about halfway up, Li Shiwei pointed to the top of a bush and said, "Look, what a big yam."

The so-called yam bells are the seed clips of female yam, which look obviously gray-white, while the male yam is black.

Lin Yue nodded: "It's not small. Let's go dig there. Brother, please take your time to find the male forest musk deer."

Lin Heng nodded in agreement, and he continued to search around with Xiongba, and saw fresh forest musk deer droppings on a mountain raft in the forest.

Lin Heng put the female forest musk deer down on a small platform of more than ten square meters, and said to himself: "Just put you here."

Letting the Mulin Deer continue to howl, Lin Heng took the noose and lowered several Hell King Diao nearby, almost all the way the Lin Deer could come here.

This was a trap for both the male forest musk deer and his own female forest musk deer. After finishing it, he released the wood forest musk deer and went to guard it.

Waiting for the male forest musk deer to be attracted, Lin Heng believed that he would definitely be attracted as long as he had not completed mating. After all, my female forest musk deer is fat and strong with shiny hair. She is definitely a beautiful musk deer.

He returned to the ditch to guard, mainly to prevent hunters from coming here to shoot.

No matter who it is, he has to persuade him to go back today, but he can't let him shoot and delay his important event. As long as the forest musk deer completes mating, his forest musk deer breeding career will be off to a good start.

After resting for a while, Lin Heng took Xiong Ba down to find his elder brother. They had dug out the yam just now, a big yam one meter long and as thick as an arm.

"It's really amazing." Lin Heng admired him very much. He could easily break it if he dug it by himself.

Lin Yue grinned: "Look, the one we dug now is big, weighing seven or eight pounds."

"Awesome." Lin Heng said with a smile. He was watching from the side, looking around to see if there were enoki mushrooms or oyster mushrooms.

Don't worry about the forest musk deer, just let it bark. If the male forest musk deer appears, he will definitely respond and he can hear it.

It didn't snow during the day. The sun came out at noon and the snow melted, but the temperature became even colder. There were still translucent ice cones everywhere in the ravine.

Coupled with the howling mountain wind, it was really cold and life-threatening. The cotton-padded jacket looked like a fake, and I was shivering from the cold.

The only way to stay warm is by digging yams or picking mushrooms.

Lin Heng searched around in the forest. The snowier it was, the more he liked the enoki mushrooms. After wandering around for a long time, he picked up more than ten kilograms. Not much was found about oyster mushrooms.

I ate some tortillas and fried soybeans at noon to fill my stomach. I decided in a hurry today and didn't have time to prepare something delicious.

In the afternoon, Li Shiwei and Lin Yue also ran out of energy after digging for two hours. After all, they didn't eat very well at lunch.

Lin Yue pointed to the basket and said: "Today's harvest is not bad. There are twenty kilograms of yams and one hundred and fifty kilograms of kudzu root."

Lin Heng gave a thumbs up. His eldest brother has been very sensible since he was a child. He belongs to the family and is very capable. There is no farm work that he cannot do.

It's a pity that he went on this wrong path and never got rich after working all his life. If he started a small business, he felt that he would definitely make a fortune with his eldest brother's down-to-earth attitude.

But it doesn't matter in this life. With him leading the way, he will ensure that his eldest brother can become a multi-millionaire.

Li Shiwei looked at Lin Heng and asked, "What time is it? Are you going to fail? It's been a day and your female forest musk deer is barking on the mountain."

Lin Heng glanced at his watch and said, "It's only five o'clock. I'm not sure whether it will be successful or not. Let's wait until dark."

The activity time of forest musk deer is early morning and dusk, so wait for him slowly and don't be in a hurry.

"Then just wait."

Lin Yue said something, and a few people found a leeward cave and lit a fire, warming themselves while waiting, otherwise it would be really difficult to survive in this cold weather.

After waiting until half past five, it was almost dark and there was still no movement. Lin Heng began to doubt his life. This male forest musk deer couldn't be so smart, right?

Or is it because you have found a mate, so you are no longer interested in the female forest musk deer?

Li Shiwei was a little impatient and asked, "Do you still have to wait?"

"Wait a minute, I've been waiting all day, it's not more than an hour." Lin Heng shook his head.

By 6:10, it was dark and the wind was howling.

Lin Heng shook his head and said: "It seems there is no hope. This bitch has probably found another female forest musk deer."

Lin Yue looked at him: "Then the three of us will go up together?"

"No need, I can do it alone, and I can still hunt a lot by the way."

Lin Heng shook his head, patted Xiongba who was warming himself on the fire, stood up and walked up.

Somewhat unmotivated on the way, the female forest musk deer suddenly stopped barking halfway through the journey, which surprised Lin Heng: "Damn, could it be that she broke free?"

If he loses his wife and loses his troops, he will be so angry that he vomits blood.

But he thought it was impossible. The brown rope was very strong, and there were no rocks nearby. How could it be broken by wear and tear?

Suddenly he thought of a possibility: that is, is it possible that the male forest musk deer ran away secretly without making a sound from the beginning to the end?

"Yeah, it's definitely possible."

Lin Heng was convinced, and the pace slowed down, and he called Xiong Ba back to follow him, not to run around.

When they were about to reach the mountain row where the Gonglin Musk deer was, Lin Heng opened the compound bow, picked up the hunting arrows, and quietly touched it.

The snow in the forest had melted, causing the leaves to become damp and almost silent when stepped on, which was perfect for Lin Heng's hiding place.

Moving forward, it didn't take long before we came to a place where Lin Shek could be seen. When Lin Heng raised his eyes, his breath was held in his breath.

On the small platform, there was a forest musk deer. It was lying on the mother forest musk deer. After finishing the work, it smelled again, and after a while it started again.

Lin Heng waited carefully. He could not disturb them at this time. He would wait until they were done.

I watched the forest musk deer film here for more than ten minutes, and the male forest musk deer finally finished it. During this period, it mated three or four times.

After it was completed, Lin Heng saw it walking along the path beside the platform, which made him stop breathing again, because he set up two Yama hangings on that path.

This means that he is expected to catch another live forest musk deer.

How could this not make him excited? This is a male forest musk deer, and it costs 1,500 yuan to walk.

His buying station only makes so much profit in a year, and one head can last him a whole year. And if they are captured alive, they will have a stable income of 1,500 yuan a year from now on.

"Ouch!!"

Just when Lin Heng was excited, the roar of forest musk deer suddenly came from the forest, and the branches were still being shaken wildly.

Lin Heng punched the ground in excitement and couldn't help laughing in a low voice: "Hahaha, I've been fooled, I really have been fooled, here comes one thousand five hundred dollars."

After laughing wildly, he grabbed the tyrant who was about to attack and taught him a lesson: "Don't bite me to death, or you will die."

"Ow~"

Xiongba let out a cry of grievance

Then one person and one dog walked past quietly.

When they were less than fifty meters apart, the male forest musk deer immediately discovered them and struggled even more fiercely.

Lin Heng held Xiongba down, rushed over and hugged him, and laughed wildly at the same time: "Hahahahaha, I got it, I got it."

He was like a wretched big man, holding Gong Lin's neck and getting close to him crazily.

"Ouch!"

The male forest musk deer let out a pitiful cry. It couldn't resist at all. It weighed only 18 or 19 pounds, so how could it possibly resist an adult human being.

"Hahaha, I knew you would fall into a trap, but don't worry, I won't kill you."

Lin Heng chuckled, took out a rope from his waist and tied it up. His feet were also tied up with a rope. The main feature was a five-flowered tie.

Then he untied it, carried it over and put it into a backpack, and sealed it with a wooden stick.

In order to prevent it from being too stressed, Lin Heng blindfolded its eyes. He was relieved when he saw it slowly calming down in the carrier.

But the excitement in his heart still couldn't be calmed down. He just caught a live forest musk deer.

But it's normal to think about it. It is estimated that the forest musk deer has never thought in his life that a human being would be so insidious as to use tactics against a forest musk deer.

　Sorry, my father bought a wardrobe today, and I spent a long time installing it. There are only 5,000 words. I guarantee 8,000 words tomorrow, otherwise I will apologize in women’s clothing.
