The happy event at Zhou Fangjing's family was actually just a formality, in which he invited a few important people and acquaintances in the village to sit at his home and have a meal together.
Mainly to prove the marriage between the two and avoid gossiping in the village in the future, he also followed Lu Lu's example and obtained a marriage certificate first.
Things were done very simply. Lu Lu, Wang Demin, Zhang Shaofeng, Qingzi and others were arranged at the same table. The meal was quite sumptuous, with eight large bowls prepared.
After Lu Lu had eaten, he greeted a few people, briefly mentioned going to the forest farm to hunt wolves, and then rode Zhui Feng back to Mukereng.
Chen Xiuyu, who went with him, went to Pu Guiying's house for a visit.
Lu Lu had already told her about going to the forest farm with Zhao Tuanqing and Zhao Yongke. When he returned home, he took the semi-automatic loaded with bullets and put it in the holster. The bullet bag was also filled with bullets and tied to his chest.
Considering that we might have to spend the night in the mountains, we also brought sticky bean buns and a mattress to keep out the cold.
As for tents, there is no need for them. On the mountain of the forest farm, there are many cellars or shacks left by employees when they went to work in the mountain.
When I went into the mountains some time ago, I always used green onions. I spent all day chasing the wind at home, and the accumulated energy was not vented, which made me look a little manic.
This time I was led by Lu Lu for a trip to Xiushan Tun. When I came back, I was riding as fast as I could. It was a very wild way to let off some steam. When Lu Lu was about to go into the mountains to get some green onions, Zhui Feng was in the stable.
It jumps and jumps and neighs incessantly.
I don’t know why, but Lu Lu always felt that it was venting his dissatisfaction.
Looking at the mane that covered his eyes in a coquettish way from time to time, looking at the green onions eating grass, Lu Lu hesitated for a moment, but still chose to hold Zhui Feng.
To be honest, compared to the two horses, Chasing the Wind is much more stable and comfortable when riding, and the speed is also faster. The green onions in front of it are probably better at foraging in the snow, even in snowy days.
It's just simpler than chasing the wind. As for other things, Lu Lu hasn't had any special feelings about it. It's mainly used to pull the sledge.
Sure enough, after Lu Lu chose Chai Feng, it immediately calmed down.
Lu Lu led it out of the fence gate. Yuanbao and the others, who had also been idle at home for several days, had already rushed outside and were waiting.
Lu Lu smiled and looked at the excited Yuan Bao and the five puppies, and gave up the idea of leaving them to look after the house.
There was a lot of money at home, so it was impossible to stuff it between the mattresses of the kangqin. The couple had already discussed using a box to store it, and hid it in the mezzanine on the top of the bedroom that was left from the suspended ceiling when the wood carvings were built.
, ordinary people can’t easily find it.
Moreover, the three lynx cubs in the house are not vegetarians. After raising them for such a long time, they have made Mukoleng their home and are well taken care of. Most people can go in and wait to be scratched.
They are becoming more and more fierce now. Unless they are common people, once others approach, they will make a fierce snoring sound and show off the long and sharp teeth in their mouths. This is not only to bluff people, but also to tear them apart.
The bite is also quite powerful, and it is a good housekeeper.
A few days ago, when the green wolf was sniffing at the butt of a lynx cub, he suddenly turned around, stretched out his claws and scratched the green wolf's head a few times like lightning, causing the green wolf to howl and scream, not daring to get close easily.
body.
After closing the fence gate, Lu Lu turned over and mounted Zhui Feng, galloping along the way. Behind him, Yuan Bao and the others also gave chase, and soon they arrived at Zhao Tuanqing's house.
The two of them had already made preparations and were waiting for Lu Lu to arrive.
Now, when he heard the barking of two Oroqen hounds in the yard, Zhao Yongke came out of the house. When he saw it was Lu Lu, he immediately shouted twice at Zhao Tuanqing in the house.
The two of them didn't talk too much, and just like Lu Lu, they carried the semi-automatic on their backs, took out the Oroqen horses, took a mat to keep out the cold, and rode away.
As for the dogs, Lu Lu took Yuanbao with them, so there was no need to take the two Oroqen hounds at home. In terms of tracking, they were not as good as Yuanbao, Bailong and Heizui.
The three of them rode horses all the way and arrived at the Xiangshui Creek Forest Farm in less than half an hour.
It was decided yesterday that as soon as the three of them arrived at the forest farm, Jiang Minghao came out of the forest farm director's office. When he saw Lu Lu, he greeted him inside and led a middle-aged man.
Welcomed out.
The middle-aged man was Nie Jingguo, the director of the Xiangshui River Forest Farm. Lu Lu had known him in his previous life, but had never met him in this life.
In the previous life, the forest farm had been transformed from logging to provide timber to forest protection and barren mountain afforestation, developing the cultivation of cash crops such as hazel forests and blueberries. As a buyer of mountain products and having sales in various coastal areas, the two of them had to interact with each other.
There are also many forest farm employees who are mainly engaged in crop planting, livestock breeding and mountain product picking.
Especially in pine nut picking, several experts have emerged.
Xiaoxinganling is the hometown of red pine. In the wilderness, the place with the most red pine is also a high-yielding area for pine nuts. Probably because of this, there are many small animals in the mountains, which also makes Xiaoxinganling have more sables than other places.
.
Seeing the stranger approaching, Yuan Bao and a few puppies immediately blocked the front, lowering their heads slightly, making fierce whining sounds, and stopped Jiang Zehao and Nie Jingguo.
"Yuanbao..." Lu Lu called out, jumped off Zhuifeng, reached out and rubbed Yuanbao's head.
The dogs stopped barking immediately, which made Nie Jingguo and Jiang Minghao's frightened and wary expressions soften slightly.
Zhao Tuanqing and his son also dismounted and walked to Lu Lu's side.
"Director, this is Tiger Hunter Lu Lu from Xiushan Tun...Brother, this is our Director Nie!" Jiang Minghao was busy introducing the two parties.
Nie Jingguo looked at Lu Lu, the man, the dog and the horse. He scanned them one by one. The three people in front of him gave him a completely different feeling from other hunters. Maybe the dog was very fierce and the horse was very good.
, people are also quite energetic, temperamental, yes, extraordinary temperament!
"Man, I have long heard of your reputation as a tiger hunter!" Nie Jingguo stretched out his hand towards Lu Lu.
Lu Lu also stretched out his hand to shake his hand: "Director Nie, I heard about it when I first arrived in Xiushan Village. At that time, I was still thinking about whether I could come to him if I couldn't get away in the mountains.
Director Nie is looking for something to do."
"You guys are joking. With such ability, how can you value our small forest farm? But to be honest, if you are willing to come over, I would welcome you. Don't say that the forest farm is short of people. With your skills, man
, forest farm security office, patrol team and forest rangers, you can choose whatever you want!"
Nie Jingguo smiled heartily, glanced at Zhao Tuanqing and Zhao Yongke next to Lu Lu and asked: "Are these two..."
"This is my master Zhao Tuanqing and his son Zhao Yongke. They are both Oroqen people and are very powerful hunters! Brother Jiang came to my place and said that the forest farm was in trouble. It is almost the Chinese New Year. I miss each other.
I want to have someone to take care of you, and I also want to handle the matter for you as soon as possible so that everyone can have a good New Year with peace of mind, so I invited them here!"
Lu Lu smiled and explained clearly the people present and their relationships.
"Ah...he is a hunter from Oroqen. He can teach an apprentice who can hunt tigers, and that master is even more incredible! With your help, this trouble will definitely be solved easily." Nie Jingguo happily stepped forward and shook hands with Zhao Tuanqing and his son.
, and then led the three of them to the office: "Let's go to the office to drink water and talk about this by the way."
The three of them followed Nie Jingguo and Jiang Minghao into the office and sat down around the fire pit in the room. Jiang Minghao was busy making tea and serving it to several people.
"This pack of wolves has been causing panic in the past few days. I don't know what's going on, but they came out to cause trouble at this time. This morning, they found traces of them at the No. 9 log storage point. The people on duty saw them.
The wolves were so frightened that they rushed back to the forest farm. In the past two days, the number of patrols has increased, and some hunters have also come to see them. There is really nothing that can be done about them.
Not to mention the logging sites and wood storage sites in the mountains, even the family areas of the forest farm employees are tense. The adults come to work, and the children have to lock up at home. Alas..."
Nie Jingguo looked like he had a headache: "Many people are afraid to go into the mountains. How can we have so many manpower at our forest farm security office?"
"Generally speaking, Brother Jiang has told me that it is indeed a problem that needs to be dealt with as soon as possible... By the way, you are saying that traces of them were found at the No. 9 wood storage point this morning?"
When Lu Lu heard the news, he felt a little happy. If he had discovered it today, he could have gone directly to the No. 9 wood storage point to trace it, which would have saved a lot of detours.
"Yes, it's the No. 9 wood storage point... After being made such a fuss, the employees at other wood storage points didn't dare to stay. I had to work with them and let them hide in the underground cellar at night.
, don’t come out.
They are temporarily stable, but many workers at the logging sites are afraid to go into the mountains to cut trees for fear of being suddenly attacked by wolves. In the past two days, the forest farm has stopped working."
Nie Jingguo let out a long sigh: "If this delay continues, it will have a great impact on the forest farm's production tasks."
Lu Lu thought for a moment: "Then let's go into the mountain as soon as possible. If things go well, we will see if we can find the wolves today. As long as we find them, things will be easy to handle."
"Okay, after these wolves are dealt with, the skin and flesh of the wolves will be yours. In addition, the forest farm will also give you a reward of two hundred yuan. When you come back, I will treat you to a drink!"
Nie Jingguo hoped that the matter could be resolved as soon as possible.
"Director, for dinner, come to my place and I'll invite you. I've long wanted to invite you and Brother Lu to my house for a drink, but you haven't had the chance. You have to give this opportunity to me!"
Jiang Minghao was very smart and took advantage of this opportunity to invite Lu Lu to his home, including the director of the field.
When saying this, Jiang Minghao kept winking at Lu Lu.
Lu Lu understood, and immediately said with a smile: "Director, how about... when the matter is over, go to my brother Jiang's house, and I will sell this wine. It just so happens that I have some old Longkou wine stored there.
"
Of course, Lu Lu would not miss this opportunity to win over. Laolongkou wine was originally a gift from Jiang Minghao's father, Jiang Zewei. Now, it can be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha.
Nie Jingguo looked at Lu Lu, then at Jiang Minghao, and nodded in agreement with satisfaction.
When the matter was settled, Lu Lu called Zhao Tuanqing and his two brothers, mounted their horses, led Yuanbao and the others towards the mountains.
The Xiangshui River Forest Farm is not far from Xiu Shan Village. Lu Lu had been there frequently in his previous life, and he knew the surrounding environment very well.
There is no need for Jiang Minghao and Nie Jingguo to say more. He also knows the location of the No. 9 wood storage point.
Along the way, when passing a pig farm, Lu Lu also made a point of looking at the place where the wolves drove the pigs out to share their food.
The large blood stains scattered on the snow were frozen and still clearly visible.
When the wolves killed the domestic pigs, they also spent a lot of effort and rolled over a large area.
However, after a long time, many wolf paw prints could be seen on the ground. However, because there were so many people coming to see them, they were damaged everywhere. In addition, the trees were deformed by snow and ice, and Zhao Tuanqing, including Zhao Tuanqing, couldn't do anything about it.
It was very accurate to tell how many wolves there were.
They didn't delay too much and rushed to the wood storage point No. 9 on horseback.
There is quite a distance between the wood storage point and the Linchang of the forest farm. It took the three of them almost an hour to arrive at the wood storage point by trotting all the way. In the wood storage point, there are two people who are keeping the door of the cellar closed and warming themselves by the fire.
Hearing the noise outside, the two men came out carrying the semi-automatic car.
One of them asked: "What do you do?"
Lu Lu glanced at the two of them and said directly: "The wolf hunter invited by your director... lead us to see where we saw the wolf's footprints."
When they heard that they were invited by the field director, the two of them did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly led the three of them to the snowy slope among the trees opposite.
There, Lu Lu saw fresh wolf paw prints as expected.
The three of them dismounted their horses and followed the footprints into the forest.
They were all experts at tracking. When they arrived in the forest, they saw wolf paw prints in several places.
"I think there are not six of these wolf paw prints, but eight!"
Lu Lu frowned slightly and turned to look at Zhao Tuanqing and Mr. Zhao, wanting to confirm. The reason why he frowned was because Lu Lu discovered that Xu Pao from Huilong Tun failed to make a clear judgment on this matter, and felt a little
It shouldn't be.
Zhao Tuanqing didn't say much, but nodded slightly and agreed with Lu Lu's statement.
He took out the cigarette pot from the bag and was about to smoke a bag. However, the cigarettes were all rolled up. After thinking about it, he probably felt that wolves are sensitive to smells, so he stuffed the stuff into his pocket: "Let's track it down and follow one section to see."
Bar!"
The wolves discovered in the morning had already arrived in the afternoon. For such a long time, it was not known where these wolves wandered. If you want to kill them, you must at least know roughly where they are.
