Xing'an Mountains 1984: Starting from climbing mountains to support the family

Chapter 18 Pine Forest

But she had gotten used to the hard life of lack of food and clothing over the years, and for the sake of her family and her children, she had become much more nagging.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Chen Weidong, as a man, is really not good at this. If his wife hadn't been coaxing the children to sleep just now, Liu Xueting wouldn't have needed to say anything.
So Chen Weidong quickly handed the cloth bag to Liu Xueting, then pulled a small stool over and quietly watched his wife sew the small cloth bag.

"Why are you still here? The children are all asleep, and you've been tired all day, go to bed early!"

Liu Xueting was sewing a cloth bag seriously. When she looked up, she saw Chen Weidong sitting in front of her.

"Wife, I'll wait for you."

Chen Weidong has been staring at Liu Xueting's beautiful face. Logically speaking,
When he was reborn, he was already in his sixties. Even if he had desires, he was powerless.
But now he was reborn and returned to the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight, when he was in the prime of his life and had the most temper. Looking at the charming Liu Xueting, the idea in Chen Weidong's heart was magnified.

"Weidong, what do you think?"

After a while, Liu Xueting put the finished cloth bag into Chen Weidong's hands.

This thing designed by Chen Weidong is similar to a pipe. It can hold not only clay balls, but also bullets or small tools such as fire scoops. It is easy to carry and only needs to be tied to the belt! If it is put in the pocket, it will be easy to lose it when hunting in the mountains.

"Wife, you are amazing!"

At this time, Chen Weidong couldn't help himself anymore and picked up Liu Xueting.

"Weidong, help me put it down quickly, the child will be shocked if he sees it!"

Liu Xueting was startled by the sudden attack. Although they were an old couple, Chen Weidong didn't usually do such fancy things!
"I hugged my wife, what could they say when they saw me?"

Chen Weidong chuckled, but did not let go of Liu Xueting. Instead, he pursed his lips, leaned over, and kissed her on the lips.

Liu Xueting looked towards the house reflexively.

Why did this person suddenly kiss me?

After a while, smelling the strong masculine scent on Chen Weidong, Liu Xueting became weak and collapsed in Chen Weidong's arms.

"Ah! What's the hurry? You're hurting me!"

"Be careful daughter, don't crush her!"

"What are you doing?"

Liu Xueting was completely confused. What kind of posture was this? But she couldn't resist him, so she could only do it shyly and awkwardly.

After all the nonsense, Chen Weidong felt refreshed.

The only drawback was that the conditions at home were too poor! He and his wife had to be very careful not to wake up the child.

Liu Xueting rolled her eyes at him resentfully, but was also very curious about how he understood these strange and bizarre methods.

And looking at his rude and impatient look, it was as if he hadn't touched a woman in decades.

But she was so exhausted that she didn't bother to talk to Chen Weidong anymore.

Instead, he tucked in the quilt for Xiaoliu who was beside him, and fell into a deep sleep.

At night, the younger kids didn't dare to get out of bed to pee! It was all done by Chen Weidong.

Chen Weidong woke up at daybreak.

In this era, there were no mobile phones, no Internet, no television, and too little entertainment at night.

Apart from the happy exercise of the couple, they only slept, and Chen Weidong didn't get much sleep, so he woke up very early. After a simple wash, Chen Weidong got up and started to pack his things for the mountain.

He first took out the Hanyang rifle, pulled the bolt, checked it, and confirmed that there was no problem.

After checking the guns, Chen Weidong took out his leggings and tied up his calves.

Then, he put four bullets and a dozen mud balls into his pocket for later use, and put the rest into a cloth bag, and put in some fire lilies and a small bag of salt.

Chen Weidong had a full meal yesterday and was not hungry this morning, so he planned to eat on the mountain. As long as he could hunt prey, he would not be hungry on the mountain.

Chen Weidong carried a gun on his back, and had a slingshot, a cloth bag, and a knife hanging on his waist.

Soon they left the village and entered the forest.

Chen Weidong had a clear goal. He had been hunting in the mountains for a day the day before yesterday and had visited many places. Although it was just the tip of the iceberg for the entire mountain, he knew where there were more greyhounds.
After crossing two hills and walking a few hundred meters east, you will see a pine forest. That day, I saw several greyhounds popping up, but unfortunately I didn't have a slingshot at the time.

After crossing a beam.

Before reaching the pine forest, Chen Weidong saw a gray dog ​​jumping on the branches with its long tail.

Greyhound meat is of good quality and its fur can be purchased at a relatively high price at the county purchasing station, but not many people know about this.

Many people in the mountains have never traveled far these days. Although some people come to buy animal fur, the price they pay is very low.

Chen Weidong used to be engaged in the mountain product business, which was to buy goods from hunters and farmers at the lowest price and sell them at a high price, making a lot of money in one resale.

Of course, greyhounds are not as easy to fight as you might imagine! They are small, flexible, alert, and agile.

When he saw the greyhound, Chen Weidong took out his slingshot and began to approach it cautiously, looking for a favorable position to kill it.

The forest was dense, and the greyhound was located at a higher position, with many branches and leaves blocking its way, so it had to avoid them.

This little thing, like an elf in the mountains, is very alert and can notice even the slightest noise. It lies motionless on the tree trunk.

If there is any disturbance, it will immediately fly away on the branches. However, it usually does not run far. It will jump around and observe to make sure it is safe before moving on to the next action.

Chen Weidong approached cautiously, chose a good position to ensure the range of the projectile's power, and gently pulled the slingshot.

Snapped……

With a slight sound, the bullet flew out and accurately hit the head of the gray dog ​​that was lying vigilantly on the tree trunk without moving.

For such small animals, even if they are hit on the head by a slingshot, it can be fatal.

The greyhound immediately fell off the tree trunk, and its four legs were still twitching and shaking.

Chen Weidong walked over to the side and picked up the greyhound.

Seeing that the greyhound's fur was not damaged at all, Chen Weidong was delighted. This was also the advantage of using a slingshot.
It can ensure the integrity of the fur to the greatest extent. If it is the Hanyang type, such a small thing will be destroyed by a bullet and the fur will hardly be intact.

Then, he took a sharp knife and slit his throat to let the blood flow.

Although Chen Weidong's goal was the greyhound's fur, he couldn't let go of the meat either.

After dealing with it, Chen Weidong stuffed it into the sack he was carrying and continued walking towards the pine forest ahead.

Once he reached the pine forest, he again heard the greyhounds' chirping calls, but as he got closer the sounds disappeared.

Chen Weidong continued searching in the pine forest.
