The car came out of Yongxing Brigade and drove for almost forty minutes and more than thirty miles before stopping at the side of the road.
Zhao Jun, Zhang Yuanmin, Jie Chen, and Tao Fei got out of the car. Each of them was carrying a gun. Moreover, they were all Type 56 semi-automatic rifles.
When delivering the roe deer to the brigade headquarters today, Tao Dabao was there. When he heard that Tao Fei was going up the mountain with Zhao Jun and the others, and also to Qingshi Dingzi, Tao Dabao took out two more semi-automatic rifles and handed them to Zhang Yuanmin.
and Tao Fei.
These days, there is militia training. A young man like Tao Fei, who is nineteen years old, has participated in target shooting in the autumn harvest of 30 or 4 years at least. His marksmanship cannot be said to be very good, but with a semi-automatic rifle in his hand, he can at least protect himself.<
/p>
In this way, a group of four people climbed over the mountain and crossed the hillock, and came to the top of a hillock. Tao Fei pointed down the west slope and said to Zhao Jun: "Brother Jun, down here is the Yuanzaozi Valley. Going north from Yuanzaozi Valley is the way out of the mountain.
If you want to go south, keep going up, and when you reach the big back block, you will find the bluestone roof."
As the name of Yuanzaozigou suggests, there are many jujube vines at the bottom. But for mountain people, jujubes are not as good as plums and sand fruits, and they are all over the mountain. Who has to compete with the big brown bear for this food?
When he came, Zhao Jun didn't say he wanted to find hanging sheep, he only said he wanted to take a walk around the top of Qingshi Ding. When he said this, everyone, including Tao Fei, Zhang Yuanmin and Jie Chen, thought Zhao Jun was the big bear.
Here we come.
But when Zhao Jun looked south, even though he had never walked through this mountain, he knew that from where his feet were standing on the slope to the south, there must be a fork in the hills to reach the top of the bluestone.
"Let's go!" Zhao Jun waved to the three men and headed south with his gun on his back. Tao Fei rushed in front of Zhao Jun to lead the way, Jie Chen followed Zhao Jun, and Zhang Yuanmin took the rear.
The four of them walked slowly on the slope to the south.
It is said that if oranges grow in Huainan, they will become oranges; if oranges grow in Huaibei, they will become oranges.
Yong'an and Yongxing are not far apart, but the terrain of the mountains on both sides is different. The mountains here are much steeper than those in the Yong'an forest area, making it very difficult to travel.
In this way, at noon, around 12:30, Zhao Jun and others took a rest in the shade, took out the bald cakes they bought on the brigade, and drank the cold boiled water from the military kettle, and the four of them ate simply
Lunch.
Zhang Yuanmin has a bad habit when eating dry food. Whether it is steamed buns, bald cakes, or cakes, as long as it is no bigger than his palm, Zhang Yuanmin will put the dry food in the palm of his hand, and then lower his head to bite it.
He ate a mouthful of bald cake here and drank a sip of water there. After delivering the dry food, Zhang Yuanmin suddenly raised his head and said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, how are we going to fight that big bear bully later?"
When he opened his mouth, Zhao Jun knew that this kid had another clever plan, but Zhao Jun was not here for Xiong Ba today, so he said to Zhang Yuanmin, Jie Chen and Tao Fei: "We will go to the top of the bluestone in a while.
All three of you are following me. Let’s see if there are any traces of hanging sheep there. If there are any, let’s come back tomorrow and find a more secluded place to trap it.”
"Hangyang!" Hearing these two words, Zhang Yuanmin and Tao Fei were both startled, but Jie Chen looked at a loss.
"Brother." Zhang Yuanmin said: "I heard my father talk about that thing."
"Hey!" When Zhao Jun heard this, he thought that Zhang Yuanmin's father was said to be a strange person of his generation, so he asked Zhang Yuanmin: "My old uncle Zhang has also seen a hanging sheep?"
"Yeah." Zhang Yuanmin pursed his lips, nodded and said, "My dad mentioned it to me, and it seems like that thing is more powerful than a big guy."
The big one is the red deer. As the saying goes: a deer has a lifespan of a thousand years, and is worried at every step. And spirit refers to the sensitive five senses.
After hearing what Zhang Yuanmin said, Zhao Jun asked Zhang Yuanmin again, "Brother, have I, Uncle Zhang, mentioned it before, how to catch hanging sheep?"
"Hiss..." Zhang Yuanmin thought for a while and said: "My father has never caught that thing. I just heard from the elders that it seems... It is similar to the trap used for throwing sand and half chicken. It has to be surrounded by a tent. But how to trap the sand and half chicken?
No one knows how to do it anymore."
"That's right!" Zhao Jun said nothing, but in his heart he was convinced that the trick he thought was right, and if it was like what Mr. Tao said, the eyes, ears, and nose of a hanging sheep are as sensitive as those of an eagle and a deer.
, Bear, I’m afraid you can only wear it in autumn and walk it in winter.
The four of them talked around the hanging sheep for a while, and their stomachs were almost full. Jie Chen collected all the leftover dry food.
At this time, Zhang Yuanmin took out his cigarette and wanted to give it to Tao Fei and Jie Chen, but he was stopped by Zhao Jun.
Since you are a hanging sheep spirit, you can’t smoke.
Zhang Yuanmin always listened to Zhao Jun. When Zhao Jun said he was not allowed to smoke, Zhang Yuanmin put away the cigarette.
Tao Fei was puzzled and asked why, and then asked Zhao Jun thoughtfully: "Brother Jun, those people who came to fight the big bear tyrant couldn't get to the bear tyrant without holding their dogs. Are they smoking?"
What's the matter?"
"It does matter." Zhao Jun said: "The nose of a bear is easy to use. The older the bear, the more powerful the nose. A brown bear can grow up to a thousand pounds in the mountains, at least eight or nine years. You said this bear rests on a blue stone top and has round dates.
I have been wandering around in Gou for three years. I will definitely have it when I am ten years old or above. It will not be better than ten years old.
Such a big bear can smell not only tobacco leaves, but also gunpowder. This bear down here can smell the sweat and mud on human bodies."
This is no exaggeration!
Generally speaking, a hunting dog's sense of smell is about three times that of an ordinary dog. A bear's sense of smell is seven times that of a hunting dog.
When Zhao Youcai was hunting the Wild Boar King near Xinrangchang, he deliberately took a bath and washed his hair secretly one morning, just because he was afraid that the Wild Boar King would smell his scent.
"Brother Jun." Tao Fei said to Zhao Jun again: "We are here anyway. If we come down from the top of the bluestone soon, you will be knocked to death by that big bear."
Zhao Jun was stunned when he heard this and then fought back... He said it as if he was very powerful.
Seeing Zhao Jun in a daze, Tao Fei continued: "Brother Jun, how many kilograms of meat can that big bear bully steal? After you finish beating, pick off the guts and take the meat to our brigade store, and the salesperson will take it.
."
"What?" This time, Zhao Jun was surprised. He looked at Tao Fei and asked with some disbelief: "Your brigade store still collects livestock meat?"
"Just take the Big Bear Ba's meat." Tao Fei said to the three of them mysteriously: "The couple who ran the store took the Big Bear Ba's meat and pulled it thirty miles away from us in the Shuguang Forest Area.
In that episode, Xiong Ba’s meat was sold as horse meat and beef.”
"Holy shit!" Zhang Yuanmin was dumbfounded and cursed: "How the hell can you do this?"
"Yeah." Tao Fei nodded and said, "I heard what others said. He collected it for 50 cents a pound. He didn't dare to let our team sell it, so he went outside to sell it at the market."
"Fifty cents?" Zhao Jun became more and more surprised as he listened.
These days, mountain animal meat is not valuable. It can also be said that before hunting was banned, mountain animal meat was not valuable.
Nowadays, wild boar meat is sold in the market. Good pork belly, tenderloin, and thigh meat only cost 25 cents per pound, and front leg meat only costs 20 cents.
But cows and horses are domestic animals, especially beef, which must be much more expensive. The couple harvested brown bear meat and sold it as cow and horse meat. The price they sold was expensive, and the harvest was naturally also expensive.
After all, not everyone can beat a big brown bear.
"I won't sell him!" Zhao Jun shook his head and said to Tao Fei: "I will kill that bear bully and give the good meat to your family and Uncle Tao's family. The rest of the bad meat will not be sold to feed the dogs.
If you give it to him, wouldn’t that fool people?”
"Brother!" At this time, Zhang Yuanmin said next to him: "We won't talk about that with him, but we can fight with him for a while about this big bear."
When Zhao Jun looked at him, Zhang Yuanmin smiled, leaned in front of Zhao Jun and said: "I have a plan to ensure that our brothers can take down this bear tyrant without a single blow or a shot!"
p>
"Brother Zhang!" As soon as Zhang Yuanmin finished speaking, Jie Chen, who was stuffing dry food into his pocket, stood up and asked Zhang Yuanmin, "What's the plan?"
Zhao Jun's expression changed, he stretched out his hand to pull Jie Chen over, and said to Zhang Yuanmin: "Brother, that's what you said when we found the black tiger and wanted to beat the black blind man. It didn't take a single blow to finish the job.
I killed the gun with a big stick."
Hearing Zhao Jun's words, Zhang Yuanmin pursed his lips and stopped talking, while Jie Chen said from the side: "Brother Jun, how about we listen to what my brother Zhang has to say, and if it doesn't work, we can do it again?"
"Go up to the other side!" Zhao Jun said angrily to him, then pointed to the south and said: "Hurry up and go up for a spin so that we can go back."
Seeing that Zhao Jun had made up his mind, Zhang Yuanmin and others said no more, and Tao Fei led the way, heading towards Qingshi Dingzi together.
On top of the bluestone is a pond of jagged rocks.
Zhao Jun and his party of four walked around the outside of the rock pond. The mountains here are steeper, so everyone was extra careful while walking.
"Brother Jun!" Tao Fei pointed to the southeast and said to Zhao Jun: "That's the bluestone lazi that people over there call it."
Zhao Jun looked over as Tao Fei pointed and saw a huge bluestone standing in the rubble pond.
This place is about two to three hundred meters away from the big bluestone, but you can still clearly see the big bluestone.
It is nearly five meters high, and this place is named after it.
In the rock pond, there are gaps between large and small stones. If you are not careful, you will get hurt if you put your feet in.
In order to avoid unnecessary injuries, Zhao Jun still let Tao Fei lead the way, not entering the rock pond, but just walking around the edge of the rock pond.
After walking about four to five hundred meters, Zhao Jun suddenly shouted "stop".
The three of them all turned their attention to Zhao Jun, only to see Zhao Jun staring at a elm pine.
This elm pine grows in the cracks of the rocks in the rock pond, and leans towards the rock pond. The tree body is almost at an angle of 45 degrees with the ground.
This elm pine is not big, and the root section is no bigger than the mouth of a large bowl. But because it is long and slanted, the trunk is not straight up and down. Zhao Jun can see on one side that there is a hole in the upper trunk.
Large areas are bare, even the bark is gone.
This is different from the damage caused to the tree by rubbing against the tree when the wild boar is wearing armor. The tree trunk, which is as thick as an arm, is bare for about one meter, as if that part of the trunk has been peeled off.
Isn’t there such a legend?
The hanging sheep is called the hanging sheep because it likes to hang itself on the tree with its curved horns when sleeping.
When climbing a tree, you jump and hang, but how do you get down from the tree?
It is said that when the hanging sheep comes down from the tree, it has to control its body to turn in circles to untie its horns from the tree.
Over the years, the tree where the hanging sheep lives must have branches without bark.
This tree is almost horizontally long, and its trunk is no different from a branch.
At this time, Zhang Yuanmin and others also noticed the tree. Jie Chen glanced at the bare trunk and then cautiously entered the rock pond. As soon as he reached the crooked tree, Jie Chen shouted: "Brother Jun, hurry up."
Come!"
When Zhao Jun heard this, he knew what Jie Chen had discovered. When he came over, he only glanced under the tree, then raised his head and looked left and right.
Zhang Yuanmin and Tao Fei came soon after. They came closer to take a look. When they saw the sheep dung eggs under the tree, they immediately scattered around with Zhao Jun.
"Let's go!" Zhao Jun raised his left hand and pointed outside the rock pond. When he stopped, he took the gun off his shoulder.
The four of them went outside the rock pond and continued walking along the edge of the rock pond. But since they left the tree, none of the four spoke, and they kept searching around along the way.
Seeing that there was a elm and pine forest ahead, there were many trees of this type near the rock pond, but just when Tao Fei was about to walk forward, his arm was suddenly grabbed by Zhao Jun.
"Jun..." Tao Fei turned around, only to see Zhao Jun raise his chin at him. Tao Fei subconsciously shut up and looked into the forest ahead.
At the same time, Zhang Yuanmin and Zhang Yuanmin, who were following Zhao Jun, also stopped, only to see Zhao Jun raise his gun and aim at the forest.
The forest is not like a rock pond. In the forest, there should be insects and birds chirping.
But at this time, the forest was quiet.
If I don't speak first when spring comes, which insect will dare to answer?
I'm afraid there are big guys here!
Seeing Zhao Jun raising his gun, Tao Fei, Zhang Yuanmin, and Jie Chen also raised their guns one after another.
Once the four Type 56 semi-automatic rifles are fired, forty rounds of bullets will pour out. Even if there is an elephant in the forest today, it will have to kneel down!
But at this moment, on the right side of the four people, heading diagonally forward, a bear roar came from under the fork of the hill.
"Hello..."
The bear was going downhill, probably more than 200 meters away from Zhao Jun and others in a straight line, but the bear's roar echoed in the mountains, making the sound vibrate in all directions.
As Xiong roared, Zhao Jun, Zhang Yuanmin, Jie Chen, and Tao Fei all turned their guns, almost subconsciously.
I'm afraid it's that big bear!
But according to what Tao Fei said, this big bear will stay away when it smells people. I don’t know why it came up to people today.
But no matter what, Zhao Jun and the others are not afraid.
With a gun in your hand, you won’t panic.
Again, four semi-automatic rifles, not to mention a 1,200-pound Big Bear, even a 2,000-pound one, what can it do?
But as soon as the bear's roar subsided, a beast's roar exploded from the elm and pine forest.
"Woo...roar..."
The whine is short, the roar is long!
There are no insects or birds within a radius of a hundred meters!
But when he heard the roar of the beast, Zhao Jun felt a chill on his face, and a stream of cold air went straight to the top of his head. Suddenly, his scalp and cheeks became numb, and the hairs all over his body stood on end!
