Return to 1983: Starting from hunting in the mountains

Chapter 11 Building a hunting cabin in the mountains

Lu Jiansheng felt sour in his heart: "Is Tangtang cold?" "

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Dad, Tangtang is not cold."

Tangtang shook her head and said with a milky voice.

"You little fool! You can't tell when you're cold, your little face is red from the cold." Lu Jiansheng hurriedly ran to the kitchen.

"Jiansheng, what are you doing?"

"It's so cold and there's no warmth in the house, so let's warm up by the fire!"

"But there isn't much firewood at home!" Bai Ruoxi reminded.

"It's okay, I'll just go down the mountain and bring some down tomorrow."

Lu Jiansheng said. He knew that most of the firewood at home was picked up by Bai Ruoxi. Although their area had many mountains and there was no shortage of firewood from branches, it was not that easy to get it.

"Dad, it's delicious!"

With her white and tender little feet exposed, stepping on the small wooden frame, Bai Ruoxi was holding a needle and thread to help her sew shoes.

"It'll be fine in a moment."

"Dad, let me give you a taste."

Due to the rain, the weather outside was very gloomy. It was only three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and it seemed to be almost dark, and the cabin without lights was even darker.

"Daddy, when will the wild eggs be ready?" Xixi asked with a milky voice as she licked her lips.

Lu Jiansheng used two wooden sticks to pick out the roasted wild eggs.

The natural fragrance emerged, which made the two little guys salivate.

This kind of roasted wild eggs is very fragrant, but it is a bit wasteful, which makes Bai Ruoxi reluctant to part with it. You must know that although wild eggs are smaller than ordinary eggs, seven or eight wild eggs can make a full basin of egg soup, and there is no such thing. This is the way to eat baked eggs.

You must know that Bai Ruoxi usually takes two children with her, and Bai Changshan, which is the closest to Liuligouzi Village, is an hour away. Bai Ruoxi couldn't have enough to eat in the days before! How could it be easy for her thin body to carry firewood?
  "Yeah." Bai Ruoxi nodded and said nothing more.

Tangtang’s bare feet,

Blow the dust off it! First, I gave it to the two little guys,
  It was given to Bai Ruoxi again, and this time Bai Ruoxi didn't refuse, because besides feeling distressed when she saw Lu Jiansheng roasting so many wild eggs, she also knew that she would definitely not be able to shirk it.

As Lu Jiansheng lit the wood, the room became brighter and the temperature rose! Two little guys stretched out their hands to warm themselves up to the fire.

After a while, the wild eggs exploded.

Just now, Lu Jiansheng took seven or eight wild eggs and roasted them by the fire.

Lu Jiansheng's family of four sat around a small, shabby iron pot! This small iron pot is specially used to make a fire these days. The small iron pot sits on a square wooden stand. When making a fire, your feet can be placed on the wooden stand.

“It smells so good~”

"Mom, the egg yolk is delicious~"

A small fire surrounded Lu Jiansheng's family of four. Although he only roasted a few wild eggs, he had never felt that happiness was so simple in his heart.

Seeing the simple but happy smiles of Bai Ruoxi, Tangtang and Xixi, Lu Jiansheng was even more eager to let them live a good life. Lu Jiansheng was warming himself by the fire, thinking about it in his mind! How to catch more prey.

Especially on a rainy day like today, there is no place to hide from the rain in the mountains. Although there are many caves in Baichang Mountain, who would dare to drill into them rashly.

Suddenly, Lu Jiansheng couldn't help but wonder why he didn't build a wooden house specifically for hunting in the mountains.

Although it will take some time, once the hunting cabin is built, it will be equivalent to having a base shelter in Baichang Mountain.

In this way, he could take shelter when it rained when he was hunting, and he could rest when he was tired. If the wooden house was built sturdier, he would not have to worry about wild beasts attacking him.

Especially since it takes more than one or two hours to go back and forth from home to Baichang Mountain, which does not include the time of going down the mountain. There is no need for him to go home for lunch at noon. This not only does not waste hunting time, but also misses the peak of animal appearance at noon. If he is hungry, He can eat the prey he hunts.

You must know that Changbai Mountain is very big, and it is surrounded by mountains. Hunters in backing villages can stay in the mountains for three or four days in order to hunt!
  Although Lu Jiansheng does not have a gun now and does not dare to spend the night in the mountains, it does not mean that he does not plan to do so in the future. If he wants to give his family a good life, it is not enough to just hunt small wild animals. In this way, he builds a hunting cabin in the mountains. The effect comes out.

And there are some large beasts in Baichang Mountain. He has longed for wild boars and bears in his heart! Bears, in particular, are not cheap to hunt.

In this era where guns and hunting are not allowed, Lu Jiansheng even has the intention of hunting a tiger, but it is just a matter of thinking about it, and it is always a bit pretentious to say it.

After all, "tiger in the forest" and "tiger" are not the same concept at all. Even if you have a gun, you may die before you react in the mountains. In the past years, there were often reports of hunters being killed in the tiger's mouth in Baichang Mountain.

Therefore, if there is any disturbance behind you in Bai Chang Mountain, you must be careful, because the top predators like to be the sixth.

Not only that, building a hunting cabin in the mountains can also be used as a small warehouse to store wild goods.

In this way, Lu Jiansheng decided in his mind that he planned to build a hunting cabin in the mountains.

The next day.

It's just dawn.

Lu Jiansheng stretched and listened to the noise outside. He knew that Bai Ruoxi had also woken up long ago.

The rain stopped last night, but today the weather is even colder.

Lu Jiansheng ate the porridge made by Bai Ruoxi, breathed in the air-conditioning, and headed to Bai Changshan with an ax and other tools.

However, after what happened yesterday, before Lu Jiansheng left, he specifically told Bai Ruoxi that he might not be back at noon, so as not to worry her.

This time, he did not take the previous route, but walked around the direction of Kaoshantun, so that he would not be easily discovered by people in the mountains.

Arriving in the mountains soon, Lu Jiansheng did not go hunting immediately, but decided to find a suitable place to build a hunting cabin.

Based on Lu Jiansheng’s experience, he built a hunting cabin,
  First choose a good location,
  Not only should you have the wind at your back, but you should also be relatively close to the water source.

This is not a difficult task. Even if Bai Changshan is on the periphery, there are quite a few spring mouths like the ones Lu Jiansheng discovered the day before yesterday.

Lu Jiansheng soon found a suitable location. The location was remote. Although it was still on the outskirts of Baichang Mountain, it was much deeper than where he had been hunting before. There was also a mountain spring four to five hundred meters away, and there was constant water. Water flows from the spring.

After choosing the location, prepare to build the hunting cabin. Building a hunting house cannot be completed in a short time. Due to time constraints, Lu Jiansheng planned to build a simple wilderness wooden house first and then slowly strengthen it later.

In fact, it is very simple to build a hunting cabin in the mountains. It just takes time and effort. Lu Jiansheng once spent several years among ethnic minorities who relied on hunting for a living.
  They built cabins in the mountains, using only the cross branches between the wooden poles for stabilization, and then laying other smaller wooden poles to form a square main frame, with birch bark or thatch and other coverings on top. Simple accommodation.
