Return to 1983: Starting from hunting in the mountains

Chapter 47 This young man is so kind and righteous! (Seeking for further reading)
  "There is a big yellow dog outside. It fought with a wild leopard and suffered a lot of injuries. Sir, please take a look at it."

Lu Jiansheng breathed a sigh of relief at this time, thinking of the loyal big yellow dog outside.

Li Fuquan nodded, and then the two of them came to the door. At this time, the big yellow was dying and lying on the ground weakly gasping for air. "

"This dog suffered all skin injuries, but its legs are lame. I applied herbal medicine to it first. I remember that Li Laosan took three with him when he went out, and now this one is back. Hey! Wait until Li Laosan wakes up. Come on, I don’t know how sad I will be! But fortunately, I’m back.”

Li Fuquan sighed. People in their village make a living by hunting. For hunters, in this mountain, hunting dogs are their best partners and the other half of their lives.

A good hunter must be a person who treats hunting dogs very well. Even if he is hungry, he will stick to the hunting dogs to feed them. This is no exaggeration.

These days, supplies are scarce, and ordinary people simply cannot afford to keep a dog. Li Laosan was able to raise three dogs to such a large size, and it took a lot of effort. This time, two were killed and one was injured, and he almost lost his own life.

"Little brother, what's your surname? Which village are you from?"

Li Fuquan then asked quickly. There were only a few families in Kaoshan Village, so of course he knew that the young man in front of him was not from the village.

Lu Jiansheng smiled. He would not do good deeds without leaving his name behind. After all, he had selfish motives in the first place.

Li Fuquan's daughter-in-law, Zhao Hongmei, just came back from a visit outside. She saw this situation as soon as she entered the yard and asked quickly.

However, before he could finish his words, Li Fuquan's daughter-in-law Zhao Hongmei ran out in a hurry.

She was about to say something, but was interrupted by Li Fuquan: "What nonsense! Li Laosan was scratched by a wild leopard and almost died. He is lying in our house. This young man carried him back from the mountains. By the way, help me carry this dog into the house."

"Who is this young man?"

Li Fuquan saw Zhao Hongmei coming back in a hurry from outside the hospital: "Where have you been?"

"Li Laosan is so injured, he should let his family know. Why don't I go over and inform Zhuzi's mother?" Zhao Hongmei glared at Li Fuquan,
  "Where's Zhuzi's mother?" Li Fuquan also stared back with bulging eyes.

"It turns out he's from Liuligouzi. I've exchanged grains in Youmen Village before, but don't call me uncle. It sounds hard to pronounce. Just call me Uncle Fuquan!"

"Then I'm sorry to bother you. You're running so fast. I don't know what this crazy woman wants to do!"

Lu Jiansheng smiled.

Soon

"Uncle, just call me Jiansheng. I live at the end of the village in Liuligouzi, not far from the mountain."

Li Fuquan had a very good impression of Lu Jiansheng. He was able to carry people back from the mouth of a wild leopard. Is there anything else that can be said about his character?

"Uncle Fuquan, let me do it!!" Lu Jiansheng said slowly.

"Ouch! Isn't this the big yellow dog owned by Li Laosan? How did this dog become like this?"

"Hey...Old woman, what are you doing? Please help me!"

"Not at home! The pillar is not here either."

Zhao Hongmei shook her head and said: "I also went to their vegetable field, but they were not there. I don't know what they were doing. Let's wait until they come back later."

"Young man, you haven't eaten yet! You rest here first, I'll let your Aunt Hongmei do it." Li Fuquan said to Lu Jiansheng at this time.

Only then did Lu Jiansheng notice that it was already past dinner time when he carried Li Laosan back from the mountains.

"Uncle Fuquan, aunt, I really don't need to go back as I have something else to do."

Now that he has reported his name and address, there is no need for him to stay here. Moreover, after buying two pots at the supply and marketing cooperative, he will also build an earthen stove in his hunting cabin so that he can drink hot water and cook rice in the mountains. , there is no need to eat barbecue every day in the mountains, but this is still a big project.

"Uncle Fuquan, aunt, I'll leave first!"

After saying that, he walked out of the yard without looking back and strode away. Instead, the two of them stared at Lu Jiansheng's leaving figure, a little confused.

After a while, Li Fuquan sighed: "This young man is so kind and righteous! He doesn't even want to eat a bowl of rice. He probably wants to save food for us!"

Lu Jiansheng didn't think too much. After leaving Kaoshantun, he didn't go back the same way, but took a detour. Although the wild leopard was injured, it was not too serious. He didn't know where he was hiding to recover. Woolen cloth!
  Lu Jiansheng walked forward with his gun. It was already March, and the heavy snow had stopped for several days, but the snow on the mountains would not melt for half a month.

People are walking in the woods, stepping on the snow, as if they are wading across a river.

This was Lu Jiansheng's first time walking this road. There were many boulders in the mountains and many places were not covered by heavy snow, which also formed a natural small vegetable garden!
  Clusters of celery are scattered behind these big rocks, as well as thorny shoots and small roots of garlic.

Lu Jiansheng stopped immediately!

You must know that in this era and in this cold weather, there are very few vegetables that can be grown. Lu Jiansheng had almost finished all the vegetables he bought from farmers last time!

The wild vegetables Bai Ruoxi digs are all from the fields. Although they taste good, they are too simple after all. Small garlic and celery in the mountains are still difficult to dig in the fields.

Lu Jiansheng did not dig immediately, but planned to return to the hunting cabin to finish the earth stove first, and pick some on the way back.

soon! Lu Jiansheng arrived at the hunting cabin. There was a lot of smoked roe deer meat in the hunting cabin. Lu Jiansheng got a piece and cut it into pieces and grilled them first to satisfy his hunger.

After eating, he found some stones, mixed them with yellow mud, built a stove in front of the wooden house, and put two small pots bought from the supply and marketing cooperative on it.

As soon as the pot was installed, Lu Jiansheng immediately boiled a pot of hot mountain spring water. He usually drinks cold water in the mountains. It freezes his teeth and makes his stomach feel cold. Moreover, drinking cold water all the time is not good for the body. .

He was not idle when it was time to boil water. Although he bought all the pots and pans from the supply and marketing cooperative this time, except for these two pots, everything else was used to subsidize the household. However, there were so many kinds of good wood on the mountain, so he had to make his own. Commonly used wooden ladles, basins, bowls, buckets and other wooden tools are not difficult to make, but they may be a bit ugly.

After a while, the water came to a boil. He took a sip of water from the bowl he had just made with a knife. Lu Jiansheng suddenly felt warm all over his body.

Then he planned to make two pot lids. The pot lids were made of three or four sections of fir wood cut from the mountain. The diameter was slightly larger than that of the pot, and the thin pins were nailed together with nails.

It took more than two hours to finally finish the two pot covers. Lu Jiansheng originally planned to build a wooden shed according to the location of the earthen stove as a kitchen, and also make a steamer for steaming rice. Use, occasionally steam steamed buns.

But even though there was still time before dark, he still had to collect traps and pick wild vegetables.

Lu Jiansheng first collected the traps, and there was a harvest. However, these mountain animals became more and more sophisticated. He only caught three chipmunks in total. After Lu Jiansheng took care of the chipmunks, he hurried to the place where he found the wild vegetable patch.

After arriving at the destination,
  Lu Jiansheng didn't have a hoe or shovel on him, so he just used the knife and started digging.
