Liu Yuhe and his men set up an ambush at night, and indeed killed the running basket that was causing harm to the crops.
As for the forest farm, half of the dozen or so wild boars were wiped out, and the rest had long since disappeared.
After Dadi's crops were considered safe for the time being, Sheng Xiping and others could concentrate on cleaning up the house.
Within a few days, the roof was rebuilt, the interior and exterior walls of the house were plastered with yellow mud, and a kang and a stove were installed in the house.
For this new kang, you need to light a fire while the yellow mud is still wet, and use hot air to smoke away the moisture in the kang.
Moreover, there are certain things to pay attention to when lighting a new kang. It should not be done too quickly or too slowly.
While the fire is being lit, someone has to watch on the kang surface.
Where there are cracks, use mud foam dipped in some water and press hard on the cracks.
This will seal the tiny cracks and prevent future smoke.
The kang surface is almost dry, and it needs to be pasted with a layer of kraft paper so that the kang mat or something can be spread on top to make it cleaner.
In the first half of the month, I watched Qingjia tidy up the house, and in the second half of the month, I started to collect the land one after another.
"Xiping, why didn't I see Sun Yunpeng and his gang? What are they doing?"
On the morning of the first day of autumn harvest, Lao Hu brought his people over and assigned tasks, but he didn't see the educated youths from Songjianghe.
Lao Hu was quite puzzled. These people just took leave and went home a few days ago. Why are they missing again?
"Uncle, they may have gone into the woods to hunt again."
Sheng Xiping glanced at the people around him, and sure enough he didn't see the male educated youths in Songjianghe.
"Since they came back from leave a few days ago, they haven't been working hard in the team. They always go into the woods."
The last time Sheng Xiping led everyone to hunt down wild boars was very successful, which probably gave Sun Yunpeng and Du Jiabin a lot of confidence.
It makes them feel that their marksmanship is invincible and their hunting skills have improved a lot.
Du Jiabin disliked the old-fashioned musket he originally used, so when he returned to Songjianghe, he asked his parents to help him buy a No. 16 hanging tube.
It's great now. When a few people came back from Songjianghe, they didn't care about the affairs of the collective household at all.
I run into the woods with a gun on my shoulder all day long, just thinking about meeting a wild boar or a black blind man or something, and just do something big.
It's best to be a black blind man. That thing can not only eat meat, but also remove bear bile and sell it for money.
"Oh, tell me, why are they so capable?
It has only been quiet for a few days? Why is it happening again?
There are a lot of wild animals in the mountains at this time, and the black blinds, wild boars, etc. are all busy catching fat. What if there is any danger?"
When Lao Hu heard this, he was angry and anxious. These people were too worried.
"Xiping, didn't they listen to you very much before? Tell me about them."
"Uncle, I tried to persuade you about this, but it didn't work. They even argued with me twice.
I have good intentions, but I'm afraid that something might happen if they go into the woods, and they won't appreciate it.
On the contrary, he said that I was afraid that they would really attack the big guys and steal my limelight."
Sheng Xiping smiled bitterly and shook his head, seemingly helpless.
The collective households are busy these days, but Sun Yunpeng and others have abandoned their work and run to the woods all day long.
Sheng Xiping told them something one day, but those people were not happy and said it in a very unpleasant way.
Sheng Xiping was so angry that he didn't bother to care anymore and just do whatever you like.
"Uncle, there are about ten of them, and they still have three guns in their hands.
Even if you encounter a running basket or a black blind man, you can still take care of it and there will be no problem.
As for the work in the fields, they are not very good at what they do. Whether they can do it or not is a matter of course.
Anyway, people don’t live on the agricultural team’s money. Let’s just turn a blind eye and deal with it.”
Sheng Xiping was afraid that Lao Hu would do something bad in his anger, so he hurriedly persuaded the leader.
When Lao Hu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.
"I hope they can go smoothly, but don't let anything happen. If something happens, everyone will have to walk around without food."
After saying that, Lao Hu shook his head and left.
In such a busy time in autumn, with so much work to be done in the fields, how could Lao Hu have any extra time to take care of a few educated youths?
Besides, those people didn't listen, what could he do?
At this time, Sun Yunpeng, Du Jiabin and others had already entered the forest with their guns, looking for prey.
"Brother Peng, Brother Bin, the agricultural team is very busy at the moment. If we don't work and go hunting, can Lao Hu be unhappy?"
Someone asked worriedly.
"He loves whether he likes it or not, so who is afraid?
The agricultural team has been working hard for a year and has only a few dollars left. How stupid can we do it?" Sun Yunpeng said with a look of disdain.
"That's right, Brother Peng is right, we don't have that stupidity.
We went hunting and hunted wild boars, roe deer, etc., and let the cars take us down.
Arrangements have been made on the other side of the Songjiang River. As long as you have something, you can exchange it for money.
It would be even better if he was a blind man. Not only can his meat be sold, but his guts are even more valuable.
Didn’t we all inquire this time? The lowest price for a bear’s bile is three to four hundred, which is no more profitable than working in the agricultural team?”
Du Jiabin glared at the troubled educated youth, turned around and smiled at Sun Yunpeng, with a flattering look on his face.
"Yes, that's it. Let's hunt harder from now on."
Sun Yunpeng has always been consistent, and he has decided this matter.
"This time it's just us from Songjianghe. If we don't take them with those from Qianchuan, we will have to share it with them when we can.
Why, if Sheng Xiping hadn't been there last time, we wouldn't have been able to share the old pork with them.
Five pigs, if we take them all, we can get a lot of money in exchange."
When Du Jiabin thought about this, he still felt heartbroken.
The five pigs were all given to others in the end. Each of them only shared five or six kilograms of meat, and their efforts were wasted all night.
That's it for others. The most annoying ones are people like Guo Yongping. They obviously didn't do anything, but they still share the meat. It's too easy for them.
"But, without Sheng Xiping to lead us, how can we people do it?" Some people still felt unsure.
In the past few days, they had been going into the woods a lot, but all they caught were pheasants and rabbits, not many big prey.
After all, they were not familiar with this place. Unlike Sheng Xiping, they knew the topography and landforms around Qianchuan Forest Farm in their hearts.
"Hey, you boy, don't try to embolden other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige.
What are we doing? How are we worse than that idiot Sheng Xiping?
As for our three guns, even if we encounter a black blind man, we can beat him to the bottom of a sieve, so what are we afraid of?"
Du Jiabin glared at the man fiercely.
"If you are not willing to follow us into the mountains, then go back to work.
From now on, no matter what benefits we gain, they will not be your share."
"Yes, if anyone doesn't want to go into the mountains to hunt, just go back.
From now on, just follow Sheng Xiping and be his dog.
He is an educated youth in Songjianghe. From now on, he will be removed from the list. From now on, he can do whatever he likes and don't get involved with us." Sun Yunpeng was also anxious.
As agreed at the beginning, they coaxed Sheng Xiping to take them hunting.
After they learned the skills, they kicked Sheng Xiping aside and they went on their own.
Now that they have three guns, plenty of bullets, and strong soldiers and horses, why are they afraid of Sheng Xiping?
The other party was so offended by Du Jiabin and Sun Yunpeng, what else could they say, they could only stay silent and follow them into the mountain silently.
