Xu Haiyuan readily agreed, and Xu Jinping on the other end also shouted to follow. How could Xu Shiyan agree?
"No, you are too short. The snow on the mountain is probably up to your chest now, and you can't even move in the snow."
Xu Shiyan scares his daughter.
Xu Jinping is one and a half years younger than her brother. Xu Haiyuan is taller, but there is a considerable size difference between them. Xu Jinping is simply too short.
"Okay." Xu Jinping pouted and reluctantly went to the side.
Early the next morning, father and son Xu Shiyan and Xu Haiyuan packed up and dressed neatly.
A leather jacket was put on top of the big cotton-padded jacket, and the big-toned cotton trousers were worn with high-cut cotton shoes, and felt socks were worn inside.
Tuck the cotton trousers legs into the uppers of the shoes and tie the leg straps so that the snow will not get into the shoes and freeze you.
Both men wore leather hats on their heads.
Now that their family is short of everything else, there is definitely no shortage of skins.
Although I don't kill the otters, raccoons, etc. in the breeding farm, I can't guarantee that some accidents won't happen if I raise these open-mouthed beasts, and it's normal for a few of them to die.
Those skins were not sold, so they were kept for their own use.
The raccoon leather hat is very warm.
When it's cold, I put down the ears of the hat on both sides, tied it with strings, and put the furry raccoon skin on my face. It's soft, warm, and comfortable.
After the two men got dressed and went out with their food, Xu Shiyan drove to the Kaifeng Road end first.
The goods will be produced here next year, but we can’t let rats cause harm, so I’ll be the first to come here.
When he arrived at the venue, Xu Haiyuan realized that he was not the only one going up the mountain today.
Huang Shuqing, Sun Yu, and Yang Jianguo also went up the mountain with their fathers, all for the snow.
The snow on the mountain was indeed heavier than at home. Of course, it was not as heavy as Xu Shiyan said, and it did not reach Xu Jinping's chest.
It's probably up to Xu Haiyuan's thigh, which is actually not that small, more than two feet deep.
There is no way. If you come too early, you are afraid that the snow will not stop melting, or there will be less snow in the future. If you wade through the snow and freeze too deep, the mallet will be frozen.
The main reason is that the weather was very good before the heavy snowfall this year, but after the sudden heavy snowfall and the cooling down, the snow did not melt.
In this case, because the snow thickness is too thick, it blocks the temperature and prevents the ground from freezing, making it easy for mice to get in and make nests.
If it catches up with the normal years, one snow falls one after another, and it snows several times in a row before standing still, the ground is frozen, and there is no need to go up to the snow.
Before Xu Haiyuan and the others came, they thought this was a fun job.
As a result, when they walked onto Chi Mianzi, they realized that it was not as easy as they thought.
It had snowed several times, and a hard layer had formed on it, and the snow had turned into particles.
The most important thing is that the ground underneath is not completely frozen and is soft. When you step on it, Gudong will sink in immediately.
The snow was so deep that it was difficult to lift my legs, so I could only move forward slowly.
Compared with children, adults are better off. They move easier, but they have to bend down and lower their heads.
It's not easy anyway, it's quite tiring.
Fortunately, there are few roads on this side of the Kaifeng Fork Road. A family is only about 40 to 50 meters tall, so even if you walk all the way there, it won't be a problem no matter how strenuous it is.
There are many on the Liumao River side, each family has a stick of 100 feet, and there is also a collective 20,000 feet of ginseng seeds.
Not to mention whether the snow is easy to walk on or not, just say that there are 20,000 feet of ground, which is nearly 70,000 meters.
It's a seventy-kilometer journey, all of which are in snowy nests. It's really not easy for one of us to get stuck in the snow.
"I was so exhausted. When I was at home, I was still thinking, how tiring can this thing be? Isn't it just a walk?
If you finish this, you might be able to chase a rabbit or catch a pheasant or something.
After looking at it, you don’t have to think about anything. If we can go through this area today, it will be good.”
Huang Shuqing walked along the pond again and again, talking to his neighbor Xu Haiyuan.
This child doesn't like studying and his grades are not very good.
Isn't it winter that nothing happens? Huang Shengli and his wife always watch their son study.
Especially on Saturdays and Sundays, they were watched even more closely, which made Huang Shuqing miserable.
After finally getting the chance to go out with his father, Huang Shuqing felt liberated, which was a great thing.
Only when we went up the mountain did we realize that this trip to the snow nest was more tiring than doing homework.
"You're thinking beautifully. You're chasing a rabbit to catch a pheasant. Can you run in such heavy snow?"
Besides, there are a lot of people watching this scene, and the dogs are barking all day long, so where are the pheasants and rabbits?"
Xu Haiyuan curled his lips, thinking about good things every day, even chasing rabbits to catch pheasants, why not just think about catching a wild boar?

Huang Shuqing raised his hand to rub his nose and chuckled, "Isn't that enough to make people think about it?"
My grandfather knew how to hunt, and my father also went hunting in the mountains in previous winters. Huang Shuqing was particularly curious about hunting and wished he could meet some kind of prey and experience it.
"Yes, you should stop thinking about it. For someone like you, it's okay to meet pheasants and rabbits, but if you meet a wild boar, haha." Xu Haiyuan sneered.
He has never been greedy about this matter. He knows how old he is and how capable he is.
At their age, if they really meet a wild boar or a black blind man, their lives will be lost. I'm just kidding.
Huang Shuqing laughed. He just thought about it and had no other meaning.
Several people followed Chichuan from south to north. As soon as they reached the head of Chichuan in the north, Xu Haiyuan's sharp eyes saw two lines of footprints on the snow not far away.
"Dad, come and take a look, what kind of footprints are here?"
It was obviously not left by humans, it was much larger than human footprints.
A few children walked slowly, so we arranged for them to go to the short pool next to it.
Xu Shiyan and others walked quickly, so they picked the longer ones in the middle. Xu Haiyuan guarded the ones on the edge, so he saw the footprints immediately.
When Xu Shiyan and others heard this, they knew something was wrong and immediately ran over, "What's going on? Yuanyuan."
It was quite far away, and there were ponds in the middle. Xu Shiyan walked around it with great difficulty, asking questions as he walked.
"Dad, look, what kind of footprints are these? Why do I look like what you call a black blind man?"
Xu Haiyuan had now come to the series of footprints. The footprints of this thing were larger than human footprints, and they seemed to have no heels.
When Xu Shiyan saw the footprints, his expression immediately changed.
"Shengli, hurry up and take the children to see the little house."
Those footprints belonged to the blind man, right? And from the looks of it, they were probably left the day before yesterday, or even yesterday.
At this time, supposedly all the black and blind people should find a place to squat, so why are there still black and blind people here?
But no matter what the reason was, Xu Shiyan didn't dare to take risks. They were taking the children with them. What a joke?
What if that blind man comes out of nowhere and hurts the child?
When Huang Shengli and the others heard this, they knew something was wrong and hurried over. When they saw the footprints, they were also dumbfounded.
"No way, our place is not too far from the roadside, how can there be a black blind man?"
No matter what the reason was, they couldn't even look at the black blind man at this moment.
One was that they were leading their children, and besides, they didn’t bring guns. The dogs of each family had not been in the mountains for a long time and had come back to life.
If you don’t have a gun or a dog, how can you take on a black blind man? If you fight a black blind man with bare hands, are you looking for death?
