When educated youth went to the countryside, some of them came to Yong'an Forest Area to shine.

In order to properly resettle the area, the Yong'an Forest District built a wood-carved house at the foot of the Xishan Mountain, fifteen miles west of Yong'an Village.

This gathering place for intellectual youth is called Xishan Youth Spot by Yongan people.

Within a few years, educated young people returned to the city one after another, and this wooden block became vacant.

No employees were willing to live here, so the wooden ridge became vacant.

As a gangster boldly moved in, it soon became a gangster village.

These hooligans are willing to endure hardships and work particularly hard when running mountains. Therefore, some time ago, this village became Li Ruhai's main supplier.

Behind this village is the so-called Xishan. There is a desolate land at the base of Xishan where there were mass graves before liberation.

With the construction of the Yong'an farm, the surrounding area was cleared, but unexpectedly in the following years, many foxes gathered there.

Even this desolate land and the woods on both sides have become the territory of foxes.

Unlike squirrel and sable skins, fox skins can be exported for foreign exchange, but they are worthless if not exported.

It was precisely because it was worthless that Chu Anmin came to hunt foxes. Otherwise, given his status, it would be extremely easy to get a few big skins in the forest area.

But what’s the price of that big piece of leather? Chu Anmin wouldn’t accept it even if someone gave it to him.

Fox skins are not valuable and fox meat is not tasty, so few mountaineers hunt foxes.

But the living conditions of hooligans are miserable, and the coquettish ones are also meat!

Therefore, someone once set a trap in the woods. After trapping a fox, he took it home, skinned it and stewed it.

But the next night, someone came back late from collecting mountains. When Heitian walked to the village, he saw pairs of green eyes around the village.

The gangster was so frightened that he ran into the village howling.

There are no village chiefs in gangster villages, but there are masters everywhere who are willing to take the lead.

A few prestigious gangsters from the village gathered all the gentlemen in the village together. They all held torches, knives, axes, and sticks and went outside the village to kill the foxes.

When they set out, the group of people also agreed that if they caught a lot of foxes, the whole village would give them a good beating.

There are no guns in gangster villages, and people with guns cannot become gangsters. There are no dogs in gangster villages, and it is difficult for people to feed them. How can they have the energy to raise dogs?

But as people left the camp in groups, there was rustling in the darkness in the distance, and dots of green light retreated towards the west mountain.

The hooligans then chased him until they reached a desolate area, where they saw the woods on both sides filled with green light.

When the night wind blew, the branches and branches rustled, and the twenty or thirty big men all felt cold all over their bodies and their scalps were numb.

Everyone did not dare to enter the forest, so they had no choice but to retreat to the village. After returning to the village, they all thought that everything would be fine if they drove away the foxes. But in the next period of time, almost all the poultry in the rogue village were bitten to death by the foxes.

It was autumn at that time, when poultry were fattening and laying eggs. They only had to wait for the snow to fall before they could kill chickens and geese and sell them for money.

Unexpectedly, those foxes would cause trouble if they couldn't eat them. They killed chickens, ducks, and geese and threw them into the pen for their owners to see.

According to Li Ruhai, there was an old woman named Wang who raised twenty geese at that time.

Just wait for Luoxue, these twenty geese can be sold to Xiaoliu for a hundred yuan.

Unexpectedly, the woman got up early the next morning and went to the goose pen to let the geese go. When she was about to take them out for breakfast, she saw a pen full of dead geese.

After a brief moment of shock, the woman collapsed on the ground and howled loudly.

During that time, things like this were common.

When dealing with humans and livestock, it doesn’t matter how powerful the humans are, but if they are afraid of being caught by the animals, it will be difficult to deal with it.

The gangsters had no choice but to beg their superiors everywhere. But in those years, the older generation of gunners who fought in Dawei had a rule, that is, they did not touch foxes.

In desperation, the gangsters collected goods from other people's houses and begged the old Mrs. Han.

In those few years, the old Mrs. Han had severed ties with her son, so how could she dare to come out to take over the job?

But I can’t stand those gangsters who give me too much!

Under the temptation of ten catties of sorghum rice, five catties of mountain fungus, five catties of dried boat nails and ten catties of dried mountain pears, the old Han woman sneaked into a gangster village.

After arriving at the gangster village, Mrs. Han found that after some manipulations, there were no more foxes there.

But Zhao Jun had a dispute with Ma Ling about this matter in his previous life.

Ma Ling said that the old Mrs. Han had profound moral principles and boundless magic power, but Zhao Jun said that all the poultry gathered by the gangsters were dead, so why would the foxes be left behind if they didn't leave?

The world doesn't know which one is right and which one is wrong. But from then on, the people in the gangster village no longer dared to shoot foxes.

Over time, the desolate land at the foot of the West Mountain became the location of fox dens. The foxes dug out a large number of burrows there, which were densely packed and interconnected.

And there is the Zhao family's destination today.

The jeep drove out of Yong'an and headed west. The Jiefang truck that was originally following it stopped outside the courtyard of Zhang Yuanmin's home.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Youcai asked Jie Chen who was driving in the passenger seat. Jie Chen saw Li Baoyu trotting into the hospital, then turned around and said to Zhao Youcai: "My military brother said that the jeep can't hold large items, so let us do it."

Lend me some weapons."

"What?" Tao Dabao, who was sitting in the passenger seat with Zhao Youcai, was stunned. Not long after, he saw Li Baoyu running out carrying a long black cloth bag.

Tao Dabao saw that the cloth package was more than two meters long. It should not be a five-six punch or an eight-one bar.

So, he curiously asked Xie Chen: "Xiao Chen, what is that Baoyu is holding?"

"Those are two treasures passed down from my eldest brother Zhang's family." Jie Chen said with a serious face: "The iron needle of the cave explorer and the soul-destroying hook!"

"What the hell?" Tao Dabao exclaimed and turned around in the small space, trying to see clearly what Li Baoyu was holding.

But at this time, Li Baoyu had already climbed onto the trunk of the car.

"Brother Zhao." Tao Dabao turned around and said to Zhao Youcai, "How about I go with them."

Zhao Youcai was stunned, frowned and asked, "Why are you going with them?"

"I've never seen that kind of iron." Tao Dabao said, "What's that for?"

Jie Chen smiled when he heard this and started the car.

Zhao Youcai twitched the corner of his mouth and asked Tao Dabao angrily: "Have you never picked a badger?"

"I've picked it before!" Tao Dabao said: "Badger, how can I still not pick it?"

"The badger's hole has a bend. You take a stick and look inside." Zhao Youcai gestured with his hands and told Tao Dabao, "If you can't poke it into such a big hole, it means it's a bend? Are you there?

Go to the outside of the corner and dig it out with a pickaxe. When you're done, go to the other side and explore again. Isn't that what it's all about?"

"Ah..." After listening to this, Tao Dabao finally understood what the Cave God's Needle Iron was all about.

But Tao Dabao was still curious and asked: "What's that hook? I heard it's life-threatening, so what's it for? It's just to scare people!"

Zhao Youcai twitched the corners of his mouth, then raised his chin and said, "Pull it to one side, it's a long hook. Put it in the hole, the badger will bite it to death, hook it and pull it out."

"Hi!" Tao Dabao felt a little disappointed. He curled his lips and looked out the window. At this time, Zhao Youcai turned around and glared at Jie Chen who was laughing.

Jie Chen's expression changed, his face became tense, he pursed his lips and wanted to laugh but didn't dare.

The jeep arrived at the foot of the West Mountain first.

With the sound of the car door closing, Zhao Jun, Chu Anmin, Zhao Ziyang, and Song Zhiyuan got out of the car one after another.

"Is it right here?" Chu Anmin looked towards the front of the car. Zhao Jun came to him, pointed forward and said: "Chu Bureau, look!"

There is a dirt slope in front, covered with snow.

The so-called desolate land does not mean barren land, but overgrown weeds. Just like when farmers say that the land is desolate, they mean that there are many weeds in the farmland.

Countless withered yellow grasses grew on this desolate land all summer and all autumn. When the heavy snow fell, all the grass was buried underneath, but there were small elm trees and small willows with their hairs sticking out in the snow.

Since Zhao Jun showed the way, the jeep stopped just south of the slope.

All animal nests, no matter how hidden they are, have one thing that is fixed, that is, the entrance to the cave must face the sun.

At a glance, there are footprints and splash marks everywhere on the snow, and on the slope in the distance, there are even dense cave entrances.

Chu Anmin saw so many caves, then turned to look at Zhao Jun, thinking that his daughter's fox scarf was missing.

"Director!" Suddenly, Zhao Ziyang exclaimed and pointed to the woods to the west.

This desolate land is flanked by a poplar forest to the west and a birch forest to the east.

Before Zhao Jun was reborn, he went to the birch forest to the east to collect Chaga mushrooms for a living.

"What the hell?" When Chu Anmin looked over, he saw only a flash of gray.

"Oops!" Chu Anmin's eyes lit up, and he turned around and asked Zhao Jun, "Is it a fox?"

"That should be it." When Zhao Jun stretched his neck to look, he could no longer see anything by the forest.

At this time, Chu Anmin pulled Zhao Jun twice and asked, "Are most of the foxes here here gray?"

"Yeah!" Zhao Jun nodded and said: "Most of them are gray and smooth, and then there are white and yellow ones."

"Are there any red ones?" Chu Anmin asked again, but Zhao Jun shook his head repeatedly.

The wild beasts in the mountains, unless they are powerful beasts like black tigers, black bear monsters, and devil bears, are too unusual to survive.

Like that rabbit, when I was a kid, children's songs all sung about black rabbits and white rabbits. But in the mountains and forests, it's hard to see pure black or pure white rabbits. Most of the ones you can see are gray rabbits, and even yellow rabbits are rare.
