Ye Jiyuan rarely came over, so Lu Lu left him here for a drink. When he left, he made an appointment to meet at Xiushan Tunkou tomorrow morning.
Xiushan Tun and Fuxin Tun are separated by Pine Ridge. The cave where the hunters from Fuxin Tun finally shot Xiong Xiazi is in a crevice between rocks at the intersection of Xiushan Tun, Fuxin Tun and Xiangshui Creek Forest Farm.
This actually happened yesterday.
But fortunately, it hasn't snowed in the past two days. The cold night also froze the footprints left by the blind bear when he left, so they can still be identified.
The next morning, when Lu Lu rushed to Xiushan Tunkou, he saw Ye Jiyuan already waiting there.
"You're quite early!" Lu Lu greeted with a smile.
"I arrived just after I left home, but you drove several miles away. It was you who came early!" Ye Jiyuan also laughed.
"Call Brother Feng and Qingzi too!"
Although Ye Jiyuan was a militiaman, he occasionally went up to the mountains to hunt pheasants, net rabbits, etc. These were basic skills for mountain people, let alone adults, even half-grown children, but it did not mean that he had the ability to deal with blind bears.
experience.
Most people would be frightened even if they just saw that thing from a distance, let alone try to fight it.
Although they were already familiar with each other, they were still novices. For safety reasons, Lu Lu still felt that having a helper would be safer. The first thing he thought of was Chen Xiuqing.
But since it has been decided that Zhang Shaofeng and Chen Xiuqing will be hunting together this winter, and since such a good thing is called Qingzi, Zhang Shaofeng cannot be left behind.
Of course, Lu Lu knew better. Ye Jiyuan came to him specifically and did not mention anyone else. He mainly hoped that Lu Lu could get more money after helping to beat the blind man. The so-called revenge was somewhat of an excuse.
Therefore, Lu Lu also gave an explanation: "Accidents are easy to happen in the mountains, especially for blind bears like this who have been alarmed repeatedly. When they meet people, they are easily angry. Thinking that there are not many people who can escape, they immediately rush towards
It is more normal for people to attack.
Although after the fight is over, the bear bile is sold and more money can be shared, but the safety is somewhat lacking. It would be much better to find two people who can take care of each other. The money you earn with your life must be spent with your life, right?
.They are all people with wives and children. We have to think about them and we can’t let anything happen.”
Once the matter was explained clearly, Ye Jiyuan nodded without hesitation: "I will do as you say."
After protecting Qiu, the people in the village have recognized Chen Xiuqing's level as a hunter. As for Zhang Shaofeng, as a militiaman who often gets together, how could they not know Zhang Shaofeng's background.
Moreover, what Lu Lu said is true. This is a life-threatening matter, and it is true that we should consider our family more. We all know how much harm and pain it will cause to the living people once we are the mainstay of the family.
In order to completely dispel Ye Jiyuan's doubts, Lu Lu added: "If we are lucky enough to kill the blind bear, the money from selling the bear bile will be divided equally between the four of us."
When Ye Jiyuan heard this, he became even more happy.
In fact, he knew in his heart that he didn't have the ability to beat a blind bear. When he found Lu Lu, he just helped guide the direction. He couldn't do much else, he just wanted to beat the bear.
The blind man can only get some profit and water, even if it is only thirty or fifty yuan, it is enough for him to cut wood in the forest farm for a long time.
Now that Lu Lu said that if they were to be divided equally, the income would only be greater, and there would be no room for complaint.
"I'll go find Brother Feng, you go call Qingzi!" Ye Jiyuan said with a smile.
"Okay! We've called someone. We'll be waiting at the village entrance."
Lu Lu nodded and entered the village with Ye Jiyuan.
The place they went to was not far away. Lu Lu only brought Yuan Bao and five puppies. As for Zhui Feng, Lu Lu left him at home. He didn't even bring his skis.
When they reached the intersection leading to Zhang Shaofeng's house, Ye Jiyuan turned in first, while Lu Lu walked all the way to Chen Xiuqing's house in Tundong.
The entire road was completely used as a ski resort by the children in the village. After a period of hard work, it became quite solid, like ice cubes, and extremely slippery.
At this time, elderly people would not dare to take this road easily. If they accidentally fall down, they may be injured.
It's still early now, most people are still sitting on their kangs at home, and there's not a lot of people to see on the road.
Lu Lu suddenly became playful. He ran two steps tightly, maintaining his balance with a T-shaped step. He used his shoes to slide on the road. In one run, he could slide seven or eight meters away, and encountered a slight slope.
Places can go further.
The skiing practice during this period has given him a good sense of balance, and it is even easier to slide on the road with his feet.
After running and sliding all the way, we soon arrived at the door of Chen Xiuqing's house.
"Qingzi..." Lu Lu shouted into the courtyard.
Chen Xiuqing quickly ran out of the house, busy tying her belt as she ran. She looked like someone who was caught having an affair and left in a panic.
Seeing Lu Lu holding the semi-automatic and leading Yuan Bao and the others, he immediately asked excitedly: "Want to go into the mountain?"
Lu Lu explained what Ye Jiyuan had said, and Chen Xiuqing understood it immediately. She turned around and went back to the house. She quickly put on her shoes and leggings and ran out with the semi-automatic on her shoulders.
The two of them returned to the village all the way. When they passed by Jiang Xianchang's house, Chen Xiuqing pointed at his house and whispered: "Since the owner of the car was arrested, this woman got married within a few days.
I went back to my parents' home with my baby, and it's been many days, and I haven't come back...Brother Lu, do you think it's possible for this car owner to be released?"
Lu Lu glanced at Chen Xiuqing and asked, "Why, do you want him to come back?"
Chen Xiuqing was stunned for a moment and shook his head repeatedly.
"Why do you care about so many useless things? Some things are done by people and God is watching. You deserve it!"
From the bottom of his heart, Lu Lu didn't want to see the day when he could lure someone to his doorstep for a trivial matter. It was simply impossible for him to let him go like he let the big-nosed Feng Dezhu do.
When the two returned to the village, Zhang Shaofeng and Ye Jiyuan were already waiting, eating steaming sticky bean buns.
"Brother Feng, you have already made breakfast, where are you going in a hurry?" Lu Lu asked with a smile.
You know, Lu Lu came here directly without making breakfast this morning. In his opinion, if the blind bear was still there, he might not be able to go far. It was too cold outside, so they would find a place to hide as soon as possible.
Get up and continue hibernating. As long as you find it, solve it, and come back directly to catch lunch.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Shaofeng had even cooked the sticky bean buns.
"I can't sleep anymore, and I want to follow you and go to the nearby mountains!" Zhang Shaofeng and Lu Lu went into the mountains once, and they were already itching to hunt: "I was just packing my things when Ji Yuan came...
Come, come, come, eat some of them while they are hot!"
Of course Lu Lu would not be polite to him, so he reached out and grabbed two of them from the cloth bag and ate them. Chen Xiuqing was afraid that she would not be able to eat them all, so she took four at a time.
"It's soft, glutinous and sweet, well done!" Lu Lu praised sincerely.
Zhang Shaofeng's sticky bean buns are not filled with kidney beans or red beans, but sweet potatoes, and the noodles are a mixture of glutinous rice noodles and corn noodles. Compared with Lu Lu's yellow rice sticky bean buns, they have a different flavor.
.
“Eat more if you like it!”
As Zhang Shaofeng said, he caught two more for Lu Lu, and then showed Lu Lu that there were sticky bean buns in the cloth pocket he carried with him: "I brought some more. If I can't make it back at noon, let's bake them."
"Are you planning to wander around the mountains all day?" Lu Lu immediately saw what he was thinking.
"Anyway, when I go home, there's nothing else I can do except lie on the kang!"
"That's true!"
The four of them chatted all the way into the mountains.
They are all areas with frequent activities nearby, and the roads and trails in the mountains are all familiar to each other.
Ye Jiyuan led the way, taking the shortcut and walking towards where Shi Lazi was.
The continuous low-temperature freezing on the snow layer has formed a layer of ice shell, which makes a crunching sound when stepped on.
In fact, this kind of sound is also very detrimental to hunting. Smart little animals can easily catch this kind of sound and run away far away.
Lu Lu prefers a layer of fluffy snowflakes on top.
Fortunately, the sky is clear, and when the sun rises, it can bring some warmth, and the situation will improve slightly.
The four of them walked for more than half an hour and arrived at the piece of stone that Ye Jiyuan was talking about. It was a huge white stone with many branches on a steep hillside beside a river in the mountain.
Places like this are often found on steeper slopes, cliffs or near valleys and ravines.
Usually, this kind of stone was very useful to people living in the mountains in the early years, because it can be used to make stone rollers, grinders and other things. Moreover, these stone lids have different colors in different places.
There are red, black, white, etc., and they have many names because of their different shapes.
For example, if the stone is shaped like a human head, it is called a human-headed stone; if it is shaped like an eagle's beak, it is called an eagle's beak.
There are many places named after Shilizi.
Although they are just some stubborn rocks, they also add a lot of color to the wilderness, and it is precisely because of this that they become a scenery in the wilderness.
In Xiaoxing'an Mountains, the mountains are slightly gentle, so there are not many places like this. In Changbai Mountains, they are more common.
In fact, when Ye Jiyuan talked about Shi Lizi, he briefly mentioned its approximate location. Not to mention Chen Xiuqing and Zhang Shaofeng, even Lu Lu already knew this place.
Lu Lu took off his gun and carefully scanned the rocks, and soon found the cave where Xiong Xiazi was hiding.
That was the gap between several boulders, and the soil underneath was pulled out, forming a large space below.
Blind Bear is very capable of finding caves.
For those big trees that look intact from the outside, they can find that they are hollow inside. They choose weak spots to make holes and get in. In this way, the stone gaps outside are blocked by the mud and weeds and rotten leaves washed away by running water, and there are quite a few small things inside.
How can a place in space escape their exploration?
Lu Lu looked around and found that the other side of the stone crevice was much narrower. It was blocked by a bush growing in the stone crevice and covered by thick falling snow. It was impossible to spot it without paying attention.
Judging from the scratch marks, the blind bear squeezed out from this gap.
The reason why one of the two hunters from Fuxintun was injured and the other was so frightened that he fired two shots and ran away desperately. The result was due to carelessness. As long as one had observed more carefully, such a thing would not have happened.
question.
But when Lu Lu was inspecting it, his brows furrowed.
Not only him, but also Ye Jiyuan noticed the fresh footprints left on the snow.
"Someone has already taken the lead!"
Ye Jiyuan looked at these footprints and said with some disappointment: "It seems that our trip was in vain."
If someone follows you out first, it may be difficult for you to get your turn.
"Brother Lu, what should we do?" Chen Xiuqing asked Lu Lu habitually.
Zhang Shaofeng looked around: "If we can't fight, it's a good idea for us to just wander around here and get some jumping cats, greyhounds, pheasants, etc. We can also take them back and use them as food and drinks. We're all here."
Lu Lu didn't speak immediately, he just looked at the footprints everywhere.
After a while, he said: "There are two people chasing the blind bear. Judging from the messy footprints, they don't look like hunters... Let's sneak around by the way and follow them to have a look. If they have been
Forget it if they fight, if not, we still have a chance!"
"I don't know which two they will be. They are not hunters, but they are quite courageous!" Zhang Shaofeng said with a smile.
"Just go and take a look and you'll find out!"
Lu Lu had already found the direction in which Xiong Xiongzi had left, and he had been following the footprints of the two men, which was convenient for him to follow.
At that moment, Yuanbao and the others took the lead, and the four of them followed these footprints.
