Chapter 426 Ran away
In the rest of the afternoon, the three of them walked around a few more hills, and the harvest was good. They caught two more sables, seven or eight greyhounds, and two snow hares whose fur had turned completely white.
.
Along the way, mink nets, splints, and traps were all used, and more than ten traps were laid.
As evening approached, they skied back along the road and found that sables had been caught in three traps set earlier that day.
These traps must be inspected morning and evening. If a sable is caught, it must be removed as soon as possible and cannot be left in the snow for a long time.
Otherwise, after one night, these captured sables are likely to have become food for other wild animals, and there may not be any scraps left.
Among other things, even sables will eat these hunted sables.
Wild animals are wild animals after all.
After dismantling the hunting device, they re-selected the location and set it up, and the three of them returned to the tent.
After spending the night peacefully, the next morning, the three of them inspected the traps set for sables together. After checking all the traps, they obtained four more sables, two yellow skins, and a plywood.
I caught Lu Lu’s first raccoon dog in his life.
The surrounding mountains and fields have traveled a lot. This area has been almost searched, and Lu Lu is ready to go back.
This is already the fourth day in the mountains. After days of toiling in the mountains, I feel exhausted and need a proper rest.
Among the three, Lu Lu, who was the least proficient in using Trojan horses, was actually the one who struggled the most.
But, it can't work without him.
Sables cannot be shot with a semi-automatic, as the fur will be damaged, so a slingshot is particularly important.
Zhang Shaofeng has never practiced at all and cannot shoot accurately even with a slingshot.
Chen Xiuqing had practiced for some time, but his skills were barely able to beat a greyhound. He didn't even reach Chen Xiuyu's level. It was too much to beat a sable that was faster and more alert.
The slingshot is good. When shooting sables, the sound and movement it makes is very small. It will not be like a gun. When the shot is fired, the nearby wild animals, no matter how big or small, will flee in panic when they hear it.
The key is that even if they set up a trap, the two of them didn't have Lu Lu's meticulous calculation at all, and the effect was greatly reduced.
Lu Lu planned to go back to rest for two days and change places. He felt that he should prepare more hunting equipment.
Among the traps arranged, mink nets, flexible steel sleeve arrays and splint traps are all very effective. In addition to sables, there are also unexpected harvests, such as raccoon dogs and yellow skins.
Over the past few days, it has seen the traces left by the red fox.
Two of them were hit by splints, but they were unable to stay and broke free.
You should also prepare some stronger wire rope sets and animal traps.
Although the fur is not as valuable as that of sable, if the quantity increases, it will be a considerable harvest, and it is just a casual thing anyway.
Dismantle all hunting equipment, collect them all, and bring them back to the tent.
Zhang Shaofeng was shocked when he took inventory of the furs of sables and other small animals that he had caught.
Fourteen intact sable skin barrels, three yellow skins, one raccoon dog skin, four snow rabbit skins, and more than thirty greyhound skins, plus one copper gall, according to the price at the purchasing station
, that’s a lot of money.
This income is extremely high!
It’s only been four days!
Lu Lu's reaction felt that it was normal. He had done so much preparation work in the early stage, and this was the reward he deserved.
And he believes that the further back he goes, the greater the harvest will be.
If we leave earlier, we can get back home earlier. The three of us were a little excited and walked faster. It was only about three o'clock in the afternoon when we returned to Lulu Caodianzi.
At home, women like Chen Xiuyu, Ma Jinlan, Pu Guiying, Wang Yan and Zhao Meiling were making sticky bean buns at home, making it very lively.
It's already freezing a lot outside, and the big tank is mostly full.
As something that can best stave off hunger and that most people like to eat, Chen Xiuyu specially prepared a lot of it, and they often eat it whether at home or in the mountains.
Seeing the three people coming back, Chen Xiuyu hurriedly asked a group of people to pack their things and let them out of the big kang so that they could rest on it. She asked Wang Yan to go to the kitchen with her to help prepare the food.
Since the proposal of marriage, Chen Xiuyu has regarded Wang Yan as a family member. They spend a lot of time with each other on weekdays. Now that their relationship is closer, she is not polite when asking her.
The other women took a look outside. They couldn't see the furs in the bag, but just the blind bear on the sledge was enough to make their eyes shine.
"Let's rest for a while and skin the bears. Then we go home and have an early rest. We'll come over tomorrow to grease those furs. I need your help. It's so cold that I can't stand it alone!"
Lu Lu made arrangements for the matter: "As for the Xiong Xiazi meat, each of us will take some of the meat we need home, and the rest will be given to Uncle Wang, Uncle Jiang, Zhou Cuifen, Aunt Duan and several militia brothers.
Send them over and leave this matter to you."
"no problem!"
With good things, of course it comes with people he knows well and has good relationships with. Zhang Shaofeng doesn't think there is any problem.
As for the ones we catch in the future, it’s not too late to distribute them to other families in the village.
After taking a short rest, Lu Lu took the hunting knife, while Chen Xiuqing and Zhang Shaofeng took the hunting knives and helped skin the bears.
After being frozen outside for a long time, the whole blind bear became stiff. When skinning it, it was not that simple. It was much slower than usual, and my hands were particularly cold.
It took almost an hour to finish the matter.
Naturally, he kept the bear paws. The weather was too cold. When he went into the mountains, he even drank bear oil. Naturally, he couldn't let go of the thick fat in the bear paws, so it was all left here with Lu Lu.
As for the other meat, the three of them thought about it, chopped it into small pieces, and divided it into more than 20 pieces.
After Chen Xiuyu cooked dinner, the three of them had a good drink. Several women who came to help make sticky bean buns also wanted to go home. When leaving, Lu Lu asked Zhao Meiling to bring some to the old blacksmiths Jin Jiabao and Meng Zhaohua.
.
After keeping some bear leg meat for himself, the rest was given to Zhang Shaofeng and others to take back to Xiushan Village and distributed to several families they knew well.
After the others left, Lu Lu asked Chen Xiuyu to boil hot water in the kitchen. He himself added charcoal to the brazier and stirred the stove and added coal, raising the temperature in the room a lot.
After tossing around in the mountains for the past few days, even in the cold weather, he had sweated a lot, and his whole body smelled sour. He just wanted to wash himself off quickly and have a good sleep.
It was almost impossible to sleep comfortably at night in the snow in the mountains. Lu Lu was already extremely sleepy.
With the dual functions of the brazier and the kang stove, I didn’t feel too cold even after taking a bath inside the wood carving room.
After washing and drying his hair with a brazier, Lu Lu lay down on the kang to sleep early when the sky started to get gloomy. Before even saying a few words, Chen Xiuyu noticed that her man's breathing had become longer.
Already fallen asleep.
On the second day, Chen Xiuqing came very slowly. She was probably exhausted. She wanted to come earlier, but she couldn't control her physical condition and slept until very late.
"When I went to make an appointment with Brother Feng this morning, Sister-in-law Yuejia said that she had received a notice the day before yesterday, asking Brother Feng to go to the district. He hurried over early this morning."
Arriving at Lu Lu's place, Chen Xiuqing explained the situation as soon as he entered the room.
"It's okay, his work is also very important. The two of us can also finish the work of shoveling oily skin. We can't delay Brother Feng's work!"
Lu Lu could think that since Zhang Shaofeng left so early, he most likely thought he could come back early to help.
Sure enough, before Chen Xiuyu was ready for lunch, Zhang Shaofeng got in.
"Is everything done so quickly?"
Lu Lu asked as he welcomed Zhang Shaofeng into the room.
"Actually, it's not a meeting. It's mainly about what you told me about the Laojin Car Shop last time. I saw that you attached great importance to this matter, so I asked someone to check it carefully and got the results. I'm here
The district manager is asking about the situation!"
When talking about Jin Zhiquan of Lao Jin Car Shop, it’s hard for Lu Lu not to fall in love with him.
He quickly asked: "Is there anything wrong with that person?"
"Then there must be something wrong. There are more than four of those gangsters, and there are three others. They were all arrested at the Lao Jin Car Shop. They were tried alone and told a lot of murders and arson. As for you,
Jin Zhiquan said that when the educated youth returned to the city, they had no job in the city, so they returned to the mountains.
Jin Zhiquan was the female shopkeeper he met in the car. Knowing that she was a widow and good-looking, they hooked up with her. With their savings over the years, they bought a large car shop that was ready to be transferred and changed their name to Lao Zhiquan.
Golden Car Shop.
As everyone knows, big car shops have always been the place for gangsters. When he met these gangsters, he found that he had found a way to make money. He was willing to use the convenience of the big car shop to help these gangsters explore the surrounding situation. He also often traveled to and from Harbin to help sell stolen goods.
, even in order to please these gangsters, his widowed daughter-in-law hooked up with the gangsters and turned a blind eye.
Then Jin Zhiquan is an accomplice."
Zhang Shaofeng explained the matter briefly: "I really didn't expect that some people would be so shameless in order to make money, even sharing it with their own wives."
After hearing this, Lu Lu smiled slightly and said, "Isn't this strange? Before liberation, there were many people who sold kangs in big car shops in the wilderness, and those who opened brothels in the city.
In order to make ends meet, many men squatted in front of their houses with their children, soliciting business for their women. There were countless men. At that time, people were already numb."
Zhang Shaofeng nodded slightly. Obviously, he had heard a lot of such things.
"What I can't understand is that Jin Zhiquan is an educated youth and a cultured person after all. He has received so many years of ideological influence, but he can still endure such a thing." Zhang Shaofeng said with emotion.
"For money, this man can always do a lot of things that are unbelievable to others!"
Lu Lu was already used to it.
Moreover, now he also understands why Jin Zhiquan never mentioned the matter of opening a large car shop in his previous life. He simply deliberately concealed it and did not dare to say it.
Lu Lu guessed that in his previous life, after Jin Zhiquan's affair with these gangsters was discovered, he ended his business of opening a big car shop. He probably made a lot of money, and then went to Wanda Mountain to start the most popular plantations nowadays.
The money-making ginseng turned out to be completely lost once it was planted.
However, Lu Lu now has no way of knowing what Jin Zhiquan experienced in his previous life.
Was it the first severe crackdown that started in 1983 and lasted for three years?
In any case, Lu Lu was more concerned about another issue.
"What about Jin Zhiquan?"
"The person was not caught. I got the news from somewhere. I took the money and ran away first. The widow was caught. Moreover, Jin Zhiquan's name was not Jin Zhiquan, but Jin Xiaosong. If he was caught, it would be all about the things he participated in.
Son, you can’t live at all.”
"You even used a pseudonym! Cunning!"
Lu Lu can't figure out now whether that guy's name is Jin Zhiquan or Jin Xiaosong.
"I didn't catch it..."
Lu Lu's eyes narrowed and he began to think about another question: Where should he find him? Will he go to Wanda Mountain?
