Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 140: Picking up the pig’s trace and smoothing out the blind ditch

Today, Lao Xu's dinner was earlier than usual. When Xu Laowen first entered the house, Liu Lizhen and Wang Shujuan were holding the curtain and placing dumplings into the pot.

Although her mother saw Xu Laowen chasing Xu Long with all his teeth and claws, she didn't pay attention at all because Xu Laowen often bullied Xu Long.

Sometimes Xu Longxiong would get sulky. When she saw Xu Laowen running into the outhouse with his eyes wide open, Liu Lizhen knew that Xu Laowen had suffered a loss this time, so she didn't care.

Wang Hu and Li Fuqiang were setting the table and picking up bowls. Four dishes were already placed on the table, including pot-wrapped pork, croquettes, cabbage mixed with dried tofu and peanuts.

Because she had to eat dumplings in the evening, Liu Lizhen didn't let Yang Shuhua prepare too many dishes. Besides, Xu Ning didn't come back until 3:30. After unloading the meat, soaking it in water, and then putting it in the pot to cook the meat, when would it be possible to eat?

After the dumplings with two kinds of fillings were put on the table, everyone took their seats.

The meatballs are made by mixing radish, tofu and flour and frying them in oil. The best way to eat these meatballs is to soak them in vegetable soup, let them absorb the soup, and then chew them in your mouth. The taste is simply delicious!

The taste of Guobao Pork is also good. As long as it makes your nose choke when you smell it, it is the most authentic.

Xu Ning stuffed the pot-roasted pork into cabbage dumplings. It had a sweet and sour taste without dipping it in vinegar. Wang Shujuan praised him for being able to eat it, and she started to eat it in a good manner.

Xu Laowen squinted his eyes and pursed his lips, staring at the two brothers Xu Long and Xu Ning. He had been a father for more than 20 years, and he always did what he said. However, since Xu Ning learned well, his status has plummeted.

How could Xu Long dare to threaten him before? But from the day Xu Ning learned the lesson until now, Xu Long has threatened him twice in succession.

This made Xu Laowen feel a little bit of a crisis. If this matter was not dealt with, how could he be a father in the future?

After dinner, Xu Ning invited Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu to the east wing, where the three of them conspired behind closed doors.

When Li and Wang knew they were going to hunt the big orphan pig tomorrow, their eyes showed excitement.

The two of them followed Xu Ning into the mountains to fight for siege, and they were both new to the industry. The things they experienced in Wangxing made them grow.

When they heard that there was a big orphan pig near Qing'an, they were really a little excited, but Xu Ning didn't say anything, so they couldn't mess around.

Now that Xu Ning has spoken, how can he not make the two of them excited?

Who doesn't want to be a big deal among people who run around in the mountains? Although it may not be famous throughout the ages, it will definitely spread throughout the Qing'an area.

No matter which industry, as long as you have a certain reputation, it means there will be a steady stream of money.

Of course, the main source of wealth for hunters who run in the mountains is mountain goods.

Some people may say that you can't make a fortune from mountain wealth, but this game should explain it.

This is undeniable, but in this era, who can make a lot of noise in the streets after becoming rich?

Therefore, it’s not that he didn’t make a fortune, it’s just that he is too low-key.

Just like Yu Kaihe picked up a big piece of skin in the mountains, he only told Xu Ning about this. If he didn't tell Xu Ning, would he know that Yu Kaihe, who looked very poor, could have more than 1000 yuan at home? I definitely don’t know.

If someone picks up a leopard skin that was killed by a big cat in the mountains, wouldn't that be considered a fortune?

At around eight o'clock, Li and Wang's families left one after another, and Xu Ning washed his feet in the room and went to bed.

On the hot Kang, I slept until six-thirty.

He got up, put on his cotton-padded jacket and entered the east room, where he happened to see Xu Long setting the table.

Xu Laowen looked at his clothes and said quietly: "Be more careful."

Xu Ning walked over and patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, I will definitely let you work hard!"

"Get lost." Xu Laowen pushed him away angrily, giving him a blank look.

Xu Long turned around and was about to speak when he saw Liu Lizhen lifting the door curtain and entering the house. He hurriedly went to the outhouse to pick up the dishes and chopsticks, holding back the words that came to his lips.

In fact, there is nothing much to say. The main reason is that I want to share some stolen goods with Xu Laowang, so I just want to get rid of him for two yuan? You look down on him so much.

Xu Ning munched on the dumplings stuffed with pickled cabbage like he was swallowing dates. As soon as he made a plate of dumplings, Wang Hu climbed over the wall.

Liu Lizhen gave way: "Eat some more tiger cubs."

Wang Hu shook his head: "It's incredible, aunt."

"Want to go for a walk up the mountain with your second brother? There's no need to leave so early."

Wang Hu paused and looked at Xu Ning.

Xu Ning swallowed the dumplings in his mouth and said, "Go early and come back early. Maybe you can catch lunch."

Wang Shujuan put down her chopsticks and said, "It's okay if you can't make it in time for lunch. My sister-in-law will fry you some rice with bear oil then."

"Okay, I haven't had fried rice for a long time."

Xu Laowen's mouth felt a bit unpleasant and he curled his lips: "You finish eating and leave quickly. I'm going crazy looking at you now."

Liu Lizhen turned to look at him without saying a word. There was nothing wrong with a father saying a few words about his son.

So Xu Ning just nodded: "Okay, I'll go out and be crazy."

These words frightened Liu Lizhen and she grabbed his arm, "Don't go out and cause trouble! It's only been quiet for a few days."

"Then my dad complained about me so early in the morning, and I didn't make any mistakes." Xu Ning said aggrievedly.

At this time, Xu Feng raised her hand and said: "Mom, my dad has always disliked my second brother in the past two days. He has wanted to hurt my second brother several times. Please take care of him."

"After you finish eating, hurry down to the field and get the guy. If anything happens, you'll be there. Xiaoyierden."

"Eh."

Xu Feng nodded, then ran to the edge of the Kang, pulled on her shoes, turned around, took the bowls and chopsticks, and went to the outhouse.

After Xu Feng interrupted, Liu Lizhen just raised her hand and nodded at Xu Laowen and then gave up.

Xu Ning felt a little pity. He sat on the edge of the kang and pointed at the 16-year-old pout on the wall, "Huzi, you wipe it, I have to go to the latrine."

"Yeah." Wang Hu turned around and took off the shotgun and found a clean rag to wipe it with in the outer room, while Xu Laowen found a bottle of sewing machine oil from under the base cabinet and handed it to him. This sewing machine oil can replace sewing machine oil because it has better lubrication, can reduce friction and increase the service life of parts.

After Xu Ning came out of the hut, Li Fuqiang also entered the Xu family courtyard. He held a gun in one hand and carried two cloth bags on his back, containing ropes, marle seeds and lunch boxes of dry food.

After the three of them met, they walked out of the courtyard gate and walked towards the 19-leng farm behind the forest farm.

It was past seven o'clock before they left, and it was already past nine-thirty when they arrived near 19 Lengchang.

Because the straight-line distance from Qing'an to 19 Lengchang is six or seven miles, which is not too far.

But there were two big mountain beams in between, so the three of Xu Ning had to walk on the mountain road, so they only walked more than two miles.

When crossing 19 Lingchang, I saw many lumberjacks at work. The two of them were working together on the big saw. From time to time, I could hear someone shouting, "Shunshan has fallen."

Xu Ning and the other three walked up to two workers who had just cut down a tree.

Li Fuqiang took out Yingchun from his pocket and handed two of them over, and said with a smile, "Brother, I have a question."

The two workers took the Yingchun and hung it on their ears, nodding.

"I heard that a big pig injured someone yesterday. Where can I put the injured person?"

When a worker heard this, he clapped his thigh and said, "Are you trying to hit that big pig? Damn it, that pig is so big that even Lao Li and his apprentice flew away! Fortunately, he didn't What's the matter..."

Li Fuqiang nodded and asked, "Then do you know where the pig was injured?"

"I know. If you go south from here, you can take a look at the gentle slope. There are two pine cones there. Do you three really want to shell that big pig? You have to be careful. That big pig weighs six to seven hundred pounds. It looks like a fucking locomotive!"

Xu Ning smiled, "Okay, thank you very much, brother."

"Why should I be so polite..."

Xu Ning and the other three received the news, said hello to the two workers, and headed south.

The snow in this 19-meter field is so thick that it's even up to your ankles, and there will be a big hole if you step on it.

Xu Ning looked at the terrain and thought about how to move the whole way forward, otherwise it would be difficult to walk in deep snow.

After descending the gentle slope, I looked at two pine trees. Twenty meters to the right of the pine trees, there was a messy trail.

Li Fuqiang frowned and asked Xu Ning, who was looking for traces of the pig, "Brother, can you spot it?"

"Yes, I ran south. Let's go."

Xu Ning followed the pig trail and stepped forward. Wang Hu and Li Fuqiang followed behind him, looking around from time to time to be on guard.

About two hours later, Xu Ning looked up at the ravine ahead, frowned and said, "Isn't that Xiangzi Valley?"

"Yes, if you go further west, you should reach the east mountain of Xima Duozi."

Wang Hu said: "Brother Qiang, we are quite far away from Xima Duozi. We must not be fifteen or six miles away?"

"There's a lot of land for fifteen or six miles... Let's cook a hot meal first. Aren't you two hungry?"

"I'm hungry... Then we're chasing pigs. We have to endure our hunger. What if we touch the pig's butt and let it run away?"

As Li Fuqiang said this, he stood the gun on the tree and took out the lunch box from his pocket.

Xu Ning said with a smile: "It's a good thing we discussed it last night, otherwise there would be no room for lunch this afternoon."

"Then what's there to say? My brother has such a flexible mind! Oh, but, your sister-in-law was a little suspicious last night, so I just said that I would go up the mountain to take out some hazelnuts, and I might be able to come back at noon."

Wang Hu smiled and said, "It has to be my brother Qiang. If it were me... I wouldn't be able to talk too much."

Immediately, the three of them found some branches on the spot, cooked hot rice, and chatted with the big pig while roasting the fire.

"The pig was wandering in the mountains. I guess it went into Xiazi Ditch and looked for a place to sleep. The pig's tracks in the snow were slow and slow, and there were basically no turns."

"Then let's go to Xiazigou later?" Wang Hu said.

"Follow the pig's trail and we'll come in when it comes in." Xu Ning nodded.

While the three of them were engrossed in eating, two people and four dogs were walking in the woods on Duping Mountain near 28 Lengchang, west of Xiazigou.

They are Chang brothers, Chang Xifeng and Chang Beifeng!

Originally, Chang Beifeng wanted to do this big orphan pig by himself, but he thought about it and thought that he probably couldn't do it by himself, so he took the initiative to tell Chang Beifeng that Yang Jun spent 80 yuan to hire him. Said the west wind.

Chang Xifeng scolded him first, saying that he was bribed with this little money, and his life was too cheap.

Immediately, Chang Xifeng handed over the bottom line. He originally wanted to wait for Yang Jun to increase the price before agreeing.

But Chang Beifeng agreed directly for 80 yuan. He was so angry that he told Zhang Yan directly. Chang Beifeng asked Zhang Yan to slap his mouth so hard that he almost cried.

In the end, Chang Xifeng thought about it, and Chang Beifeng agreed. If he didn't do this, wouldn't the money be gone?

"We can shell it, but we have to wait for the letter. Otherwise, where are you going to find it in this big mountain? Tomorrow we will take the dog for a walk around 28 Lengchang and take a look for any traces of pigs. If so, You must not let the dog go if you are following the pig, do you understand?"

"know."

At this moment, Chang Beifeng was walking up the mountain with four dogs, and Chang Xifeng lowered his head to look for the pig traces.

"Brother, we have been walking around all day, and we didn't even look at anything. The tiger's head didn't even open..."

Chang Xifeng turned around and reprimanded: "You are so special, you can lead a good dog!"
