Xu Shiyan, who was living a carefree life in the mountains with his wife, had no idea that the commotion in the village was about to turn upside down.
I don’t know how much his mother’s words broke his father’s heart.
What Xu Shiyan has to do every day is dig holes.
Dig more holes and install nail boards in places near the venue where thieves can easily enter.
Not only did they dig holes, they also put down clamps.
A large animal trap with sharp serrations, the kind that can break the legs of a wild boar or a black blind man even if it is caught.
Of course, he wrote a sign near each clip to prevent anyone from accidentally touching it.
The clamp is mainly to prevent wild animals, not to hurt people.
Further afield, you can set up a trap, using oil wire rope for the big one and iron wire for the small one. This is purely for hunting.
Anyway, he stayed in the mountains every day, just poking around like this. There were three levels of traps inside and three outside, completely surrounding the place.
Regardless of whether you are a human or a beast, if you don't follow the right path and want to get close to the venue, you will be responsible for the consequences.
Of course, at every intersection leading to the site, there will be a sign with warnings written on it to remind people entering the mountain to be careful.
Not only that, the village was also very cooperative. Zhao Dahai used the village loudspeaker to shout for several days to warn everyone not to get close to the venue.
At the same time, Zhao Dahai also reported it to the commune.
This is a new method of checking ginseng. If it is effective, it will be promoted throughout the commune.
Besides, we also need to let the other teams know not to go to the other side of the Maekawa field.
The mountain is so big and there are so many good things elsewhere, why bother coming here to make trouble?
Anyway, the duty of reminder has been fulfilled. If someone insists on seeking death and rushes into this forest, he or she deserves to die.
Don't talk about being reasonable or not, being overbearing or not being overbearing.
This is a necessary means to protect the property of the whole village. We have already been notified. If we disobey and risk death, who is to blame?
As for whether hunting is illegal or not? There is no need to think about it.
Nowadays, there are still many wild animals. In autumn, wild boars enter the fields and harm crops, and in winter, hungry wolves can enter villages and bite children.
Talking about animal protection at this time? Stop talking about it.
So Xu Shiyan felt free to dig the trap and catch it without worrying at all.
Hard work will definitely pay off. In the past few days, we have caught several hares and pheasants one after another, as well as a small wild boar and two roe deer.
Life on the mountain gradually became richer, with meat in her bowl and oil and water in her belly. Su Anying's complexion also improved significantly, and her whole person became plumper.
Even the dogs gradually became energetic as Zhan Guang'er ate well, and became increasingly close to Xu Shiyan.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Shiyan and his wife had been going up the mountain for more than half a month.
All the work in the ginseng field was done right, the sticks were planted, the ginseng seeds were sown, and all the cold-proof soil was applied.
All that is left is the newly planted ginseng in the field, and the pillars can be smashed in, and the ginseng shed can be built next spring.
On November 7th, the beginning of winter, it snowed for the first time this year.
If it were placed on a flat ground, it would only be two fingers thick, and it would slowly melt when the sun came out, making it impossible to stand.
But it's different in the mountains. Snow hits the mountains and frost hits the depressions. The snow on the mountains is thicker and the temperature is lower. The snow on the shady slopes doesn't see the sun, so it just stands there.
It's snowing, and the sky and the earth are completely white, covering up the dust and noise, but also allowing traces of some things to show.
"The snow is good. When it stops snowing, we can take our dogs into the mountains to hunt." In the evening, Xu Shiyan looked at the flying snowflakes outside and said happily.
"You want to go hunting? It's better to say goodbye. Isn't it good for us to do this now? Hunting is quite dangerous. Don't hurt you."
When Su Anying heard that her husband wanted to hunt, she couldn't help frowning and said very worriedly.
"That's different. We are just waiting foolishly now. Whether there is any prey depends on God.
This mountain is so big, the wild animals in the mountain cannot always come to our side.
It's winter, so the meat and other things can be stored. I'll get some more wild animals to eat later." Xu Shiyan knew that his wife was worried about him, so he explained patiently.
Not just for that bite to eat, but more importantly, to find ways to make money.
It is true that you can earn work points by looking at ginseng in the mountains, but with those few work points, you can only eat every year, and there is nothing left.
My wife is pregnant and their first child will be born next spring.
Judging from the current situation, the baby should be able to be saved. When the time comes, we can't let Su Anying live in the mountains with the baby, right? She must have her own home.
This is a lot of money. Even if you have the money to put money into the mountains, you can't sit back and rest in vain. You still have to find ways to make money.
The wild beasts in the mountains are not only edible, but also the gallbladder of the black blind man, the musk of the fragrant deer, and the antlers of the sika deer are all excellent medicinal materials.
As for sable, raccoon dog, chinchilla, and otter, they are all top-quality fur, and the purchase price is not low.
Guarding the treasure house of Changbai Mountain, taking advantage of the fact that hunting is not prohibited in these days, he can hunt openly and make money. How could Xu Shiyan miss the opportunity?
"Don't worry, I'm carrying a gun and leading the dogs.
The dogs raised by Uncle Li are all good dogs, and they spend all day in the ginseng garden chasing them.
If those dogs are well trained, they will all be good hunters."
A hunter is happier when he sees a good dog than when he sees gold, silver and jewels. How can he let a good dog go blind in vain?
Su Anying knew that she could not persuade Xu Shiyan, so she simply stopped and only told Xu Shiyan to be careful.
The snow stopped the next day, but Xu Shiyan didn't move, just chopping firewood and carrying water at home.
Su Anying was still surprised. Why was there no movement if she wasn't going hunting?
After all, animals are not human beings. There is no snow in spring, summer, and autumn. The first snow falls unexpectedly, and the animals in the mountains are confused.
On the first day after it snowed, all the animals in the mountains were lying down and motionless. If the animals didn't come out, there would be no traces, so hunting in the mountains would be useless.
But those animals were hungry. They stayed in their dens for most of the day, and by the afternoon they were so hungry that they had to come out and wander around in search of food.
This will leave traces on the ground.
Hunters can identify which animal it is through the footprints and traces in the snow, making hunting relatively easy.
So Xu Shiyan stayed at home for a whole day. Early in the morning on the third day, Xu Shiyan got up lightly, made breakfast, and ate dog food.
By the time Su Anying got up, Xu Shiyan had already finished eating, packed up and was ready to go.
"Leaving so early?" Women tend to be sleepy after pregnancy, but Su Anying is considered diligent, getting up at 6:30 in the morning.
As soon as I came out of the house, I saw Xu Shiyan wearing leggings outside and knew that he was going up the mountain.
"Well, let's go early. Those dogs haven't hunted before. The main thing today is to walk them."
Xu Shiyan tied up his leggings, straddled a bag diagonally, and stuffed the food into the bag.
"After I go out, just lock the door. No one will come to work that day. No matter who calls, you don't have to pay attention to them."
The work in the ginseng fields was almost done, and it had just snowed, so the roads and the ginseng fields were covered in mud during the day.
No one would come, so Xu Shiyan set off with the three dogs with confidence.
