"Fuck, you were the one who carried the wolf back after the trouble for a long time?
Oh my god, you are really awesome now, you can kill a local leopard with a knife, and this time you carried a wolf back with your bare hands."
When the boys heard this, they were dumbfounded. This guy had captured a wolf alive.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, do you want to go up the mountain with me and set up a trap?
Let's take advantage of these few days to row back quickly and wait a few days to go up to the mountains to work, but we don't have that time."
Sheng Xiping didn't want to pick up the conversation, so he immediately changed the subject and asked them.
"Go, of course we have to go, can we be left behind for such a good thing?" Everyone shouted in unison.
If we follow the old rules, no labor production can be carried out during the first month of the year, especially before the fifteenth day of the month.
The Chinese New Year is a time for eating, drinking and having fun. If you work on the first day of the new year, doesn’t that mean you have to be busy for a whole year?
But over the years, many old rules have been changed. In the past few years, the agricultural cooperative had a good start on the first day of the first lunar month, and the cooperative members went out with soil baskets to pick up manure on the first day of the new year.
The same goes for workers. How many days of leave can they take during the Chinese New Year? If they don’t work on the third day of the Lunar New Year, they have to work on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
Even if the forest farm has to work late, front-line workers have to go to the mountains to cut trees on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and other people have to go to work around the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, so they don’t care about it now.
Sheng Xiping and the others had to go up the mountain on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and they could only rest for a few days. So what could they do if they didn't go up the mountain?
Besides, none of these young people can stay idle, so they can’t drink and play cards every day, right? Then they might as well go up the mountain.
So when Sheng Xiping said he wanted to go into the mountain, those people immediately cheered.
"Xiping, just tell me, where are we going? What are we going to fight this time?"
Everyone was excited, as if they had found their prey as soon as they entered the mountain.
"How do I know what to fight for? Let's just go into the mountains and have a look.
Today I’m going to buy a few condoms and keep track of them. If we encounter anything then, we’ll just hit it.”
Sheng Xiping was amused by these guys. The animals in the mountains are not domesticated, so they can fight whatever they say. Aren't they just going to fight whatever they encounter?
Everyone was right when they heard it, so they immediately went home and packed their things.
You may not encounter any situations when going up the mountain, so you have to bring everything you need to prepare.
Needless to say, ropes, iron wires, steel wires, dry food, medicines, roe-skin mattresses, fire lighting, tools for boiling water for cooking, etc. It is better to bring them and not use them than to find out when they are not used.
Since the last time jackals and leopards came to the forest farm to cause trouble and Sheng Xiping took his little buddies to hunt, Wang Jiachuan specially gave Sheng Xiping and the others two guns.
In other words, in addition to the original No. 16 gun in Sheng Xiping, they now have two semi-automatic guns.
This is different from the previous borrowing from the Security Department and having to return it after use. As long as there is no major inspection by the superiors, the right to use these two guns belongs to Sheng Xiping and the others.
Six men and three spears. Wang Jianshe and Chen Weiguo have also made great progress in their marksmanship during this period. As for Sheng Xiping, they can take care of ordinary wild animals when they encounter them.
Sheng Xiping, Wang Jianshe, and Chen Weiguo carried guns and a small amount of stuff on their backs, while Gao Haining, Zhang Zhijun, and Pan Fusheng carried more stuff.
A group of people walked along the big ridge at the east end, exited the forest farm and went straight to the simple forest road.
Since they set a trap last time and Li Dazhuang stole the wild boar, Sheng Xiping and the others planned to go a little further this time.
To the north from Maechuan Forest Farm, there is a war preparation road built from the Erdaobai River in the past few years.
However, this road was not completed at the time, and construction was stopped due to some issues. Later, no one took care of it, and it was basically just like a simple forest road.
Sheng Xiping and others walked north along this simple forest road. After walking for more than ten miles, they turned to the east in the forest.
Here, it is relatively close to the reserve, so no one usually comes here. There are many footprints of various animals on the snow in the forest.
Putting on a condom in the snow is different from summer.
In addition to judging what animals passed by based on the animal footprints on the ground, and roughly when they passed by, we also need to calculate the position under the condom based on the depth of the snow and the depth of the hoof prints.
If it is too high or too low, it will not catch the animal.
While walking, Sheng Xiping told everyone these rules. When he encountered a place suitable for placing condoms, he would use a few condoms.
Because there is no fixed target, I just follow the hoofprints I encounter and place traps wherever they fit.
Just like this, we climbed over mountains and hills, crossed forests and seas, and walked a long way.
"Xiping, look, what kind of footprints are these?"
When passing a hill with weeds and dead branches, Wang Jianshe pointed to a few lines of footprints under the grass and asked Sheng Xiping.
The key point is that he has never seen this footprint before and does not recognize it.
Sheng Xiping was elsewhere. When he heard Wang Jianshe's words, he hurriedly came over and lowered his head to take a closer look.
Rows of neatly patterned footprints on the snow stretched into the distance, passing through the hills and running straight towards the mountainside ahead.
The hoof prints look a bit like cow's hoofs, but several circles smaller than cow's hoofs. "Hey, this is the road of mountain donkeys."
Mountain donkey, which is also a local dialect, is actually a musk deer.
The musk deer in the Changbai Mountain area belongs to the original musk deer, which is often called the fragrant deer.
The fragrant deer mostly inhabits cliffs and rocky mountain environments in coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forests, coniferous deciduous forests, coniferous mixed forests, and sparse forests and shrublands.
In summer, fragrant deer mostly move around in Shilizi and steep cliffs near river valleys. In winter, they like to live in leeward and sunny places.
Generally speaking, fragrant deer are more active in the morning and evening.
The fragrant deer is a mountain animal that can move briskly and nimbly on steep cliffs. It often walks on fallen trees in dense forests, has the habit of climbing leaning trees, and is particularly good at jumping.
The fragrant deer has relatively fixed activities, its foraging route leads to its habitat, and its activity range is relatively fixed, so it has a strong attachment to its habitat.
After all, Wang Jianshe and the others are from the forest area. Besides, they have been with Sheng Xiping for so long, how can they not understand at all?
As soon as they heard it was a mountain donkey, several people stared.
"Xi Ping, this thing produces musk, right? Musk is very valuable.
Didn’t you say that it’s hard to meet a mountain donkey on the road? This time we’re lucky, if we encounter one, we’ll quickly find a way to trap it.”
“Removing condoms and clips are of no use.
This thing is timid and suspicious by nature. As soon as it is trapped or trapped, the first thing it will do is to chew up its own sachet." Sheng Xiping shook his head.
Deer hunting is usually done with one shot, otherwise the sachet will be bitten by the deer, so the condom or clip is of no use.
Hearing what Sheng Xiping said, everyone was a little frustrated. They thought they could catch a few fragrant deer and sell them for money.
You must know that the sachet of fragrant deer is no cheaper than bear bile. If you grab one, you can sell it for a lot of money.
"You can't use a condom, but you can fight." Seeing the dejected looks on his brothers' faces, Sheng Xiping smiled.
It's not easy to capture them alive, but shooting them with a gun is not impossible.
