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

Chapter 192 Sister, they are so ugly!

"Weidong! Weidong!"

"Mom, what do you want from me?"

"Weidong! Come quickly and take a look. The doe we raised at home is about to give birth!"

Chen Weidong was sitting alone at his elder brother Chen Weihai's house, chatting, when Wu Xiuqin hurried over and called out.

Hear the words.

Chen Weidong was not too surprised that the doe was about to give birth. He was just worried that the doe would be frightened because she was about to give birth, so he did not move the doe to the farm even after the construction was completed for several days.

"Okay, I'll go over right now!"

Chen Weidong hurried out, Yang Xuehua, Chen Weihai, Dafei, Xiaofei,
There was also Wang Dashan, the next-door neighbor who was chatting at the eldest brother's house. He also hurried over with his three children to watch the fun.

"Weidong, the doe has given birth, everything went smoothly!" Before he even reached the door of his house, Chen Guangtian came over and said happily.

"So fast!"

Chen Weidong walked into the yard happily, and then there was a smell of blood, but no one cared about it and they all walked in.

The doe is the weakest when she just gives birth. At this moment, she is lying weakly on the dry straw.

He walked towards the place where the doe gave birth, and when he saw it, he was extremely surprised.

Next to the straw, two little deer, still dripping wet, were struggling to stand up. However, they managed to hold themselves up a little bit before falling down again.

It takes time for them to stand up. Today the weather is fine and the temperature is high enough, so Chen Weidong is not worried that they will be cold.

The reason for the surprise was that the doe actually gave birth to a pair of fawns.

Normally, a doe gives birth only once a year, one calf at a time. Giving birth to twins is so rare that it is no exaggeration to say that it happens only once in a million.

Moreover, the bone mass of these two fawns is slightly smaller than that of the single fawn, but not much, and they will definitely be of the same size when they grow up.

Each of the two fawns weighed about five or six pounds. They tried hard to stand up, first stretching out their front legs to support their entire front half of the body, and then slowly propping up their hind legs. During this process, they fell several times, but they kept trying and did not give up.

Finally, after many efforts, it finally stood up tremblingly.

Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but smile happily.

"Yo! Yo yo..."

The two fawns finally struggled to stand up, calling out instinctively, and then staggered towards the mother deer.

The fawn has been born for a while. If it doesn't get some milk, it will starve. Generally, the fawn will quickly become energetic after taking the first mouthful of colostrum.

At this time, the two little deer rushed forward impatiently, and following their instinct, they grabbed one in their mouth, and in a few sucks, it made a squeaking sound... and started to eat it sweetly.

After the two fawns were fed, they finally stopped bleating and lay on the haystack to bask in the sun.

Seeing that there was no problem, Chen Weidong and the other adults naturally lost interest in watching any further and went back to chatting.
Xiaofei and Wang Dashan's children were watching with great interest! Chen Weidong didn't chase them away!

Wang Dashan’s youngest daughter is called Wang Xiaoya. She is Sanni’s good friend in the village recently. She ran quickly towards Chen Weidong’s house.

As soon as she ran to the door of Chen Weidong's house, she saw Xiaowu and Xiaoliu chasing each other outside.

She hurried over and grabbed Wu Ni: "Wu Ni, where is your third sister!"

Xiao Wu pointed to the main room and said, "Listen to the radio in the room!"

Wang Xiaoya walked in, walked to Sanni, and whispered something in her ear. Sanni was surprised, "Really? Let's go and take a look."

"Third sister, what are you going to see?"

"The deer that Grandpa raised has given birth to a fawn. We have to go and take a look!"

"I also need to go!"

The three girls ran out immediately. When Xiaowu and Xiaoliu saw them at the entrance of the yard, they immediately followed the third and fourth sisters on their short legs.

As soon as they were told to go see the fawn, the little kids immediately cheered and ran to their grandparents' house.

"Grandpa, where is grandma's baby deer? I want to see the baby deer!" Si Ni started shouting before she even reached her grandfather's house.

The other two younger kids also learned to shout along.

Rushing to the fence and seeing two fawns, Si Ni blurted out, "Sister, they are so ugly!"

"That's what all newborn fawns look like."

Xiao Fei added.

"Brother Xiaofei, when will it become beautiful?" Si Ni asked.

"It will be beautiful in two days." Xiao Fei looked at it for a long time, and when the novelty wore off, he prepared to leave.

"Deer!"

Suddenly, Xiaoliu squeezed in through the gap in the wooden railing.

"Xiao Liu, come out!"

Sanni, Xiaofei and others were all shocked. Xiaofei opened the fence and walked in.

The doe raised her head and called out, staring at Xiaofei and Xiaoliu but didn't stand up. She was too weak.
Xiao Fei didn't dare to move, for fear of irritating the doe and causing it to attack.

Although doe is usually very timid and gentle, as a new mother, she may fight to the death for the safety of her children!
Xiaoliu didn't understand, she just continued walking inside with a smile.

The doe watched her movements without moving, perhaps because she felt that Xiaoliu was too small to pose a threat, or perhaps because she was too weak to move, so she just watched without taking the next step.

Sanni was so scared that her whole body went numb. She quickly ran out of her grandfather's house to call Chen Weidong.

Chen Weidong was also startled when he heard this, and quickly ran into the fence.
I saw Xiaoliu squatting next to the fawn, touching its fur, and then started crying.

"Woo woo woo, dirty! Dirty!"

I saw that Xiaoliu's hands were covered with mucus, fetal hair, meconium and other things. It was dirty and disgusting.

"I told you to get in there! You're so brave!" Chen Weidong was still frightened and couldn't help but scold him. Raising a child is hard to guard against. Seeing that the mother deer and the fawn didn't move,

Chen Weidong didn't dare to go in for fear of scaring the doe, so he could only wave and shout, "Xiao Liu, come here quickly, or the deer will rub against your face!"

When Xiaoliu heard his father calling him, he staggered out quickly.

No near misses.

Snapped! Bang bang!

After the little girl came over, Chen Weidong carried her out and slapped her on the butt a few times.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Don't cry. Don't go in there again next time!" Chen Weidong taught.

The way of educating children is very important. Although the little girl doesn’t understand, as a father, Chen Weidong also has to tell the children what to do and what not to do!

"obedient!"

Hearing Chen Weidong tell him not to cry, Xiaoliu quickly wiped his eyes and uttered two words in a baby voice.

"Just know how to be obedient!"

Chen Weidong smiled.

After that, Sanni and the others came to see the fawn almost every day, watching it grow more beautiful and more energetic.

Everyone was very happy. After returning, they would chatter for a long time. Xiaoliu also went with them, but she never dared to go in again.

Until Chen Weidong moved the mother deer and two fawns to the deer farm for breeding.

As time went by, Chen Weidong invited Li Shengli and the other two to go into the mountains twice. Recently, Chen Weidong even brought Dalong, Erlong, Sanlong, and Silong to the mountains in advance.

Wild Boar Ridge.

Chen Weidong, Li Shengli, Shitou and Bingzi, along with nine dogs, were walking in the forest.

Yezhu Ridge is not a ridge, it is the highest mountain ridge, surrounded by a patchwork of undulating mountains.

Wild Boar Ridge is very large and far away from the village. This time, the hunters who came to Wild Boar Ridge to hunt were not only Chen Weidong and his group, there were about five or six groups in total!

They are all people from several villages in Yushugou. There are old hunters and novices, the four brothers of Zhang family from Jiuqu Village, Uncle Mancang and his gang... and so on!
The tranquility of the Wild Boar Ridge was broken by a group of hunters and a pack of dogs.

From time to time, there were barking sounds of dogs! From time to time, there were barking sounds of dogs in the jungle.

This shows the advantages and disadvantages of dogs.

Some dogs bark wildly after entering the mountains.

Some dogs are silent.

Some dogs just follow their owners, wandering back and forth.

Some dogs will run far away before looking back for their owners.

Compared with other hunters, Chen Weidong and his gang looked like they were on a picnic, carrying guns and walking slowly in the woods.

There are so many hunters coming to Wild Boar Ridge. There is no point in being anxious. Being in a hurry may not necessarily lead to the capture of the most prey.

A hunter only has three or four dogs at most. How many prey can they trap at one time? Even if three or four people work together, they still can't trap all the prey when they encounter a herd of wild boars.

At most one or two can be trapped. If the hunter chases closely, perhaps one or two more can be left.

If you rush forward too hard, you might just hit those fleeing wild boars.

The madly running wild boar was basically on the verge of going berserk. If it met Chen Weidong and the others, it would go berserk immediately.

Either the dog is hurt, or the person is hurt.

Therefore, Chen Weidong and his companions were really not in a hurry. They walked slowly in the jungle, deliberately lagging behind other hunters for a distance.

In this way, when Chen Weidong and his companions walked over, the wild boars or other wild animals that were startled by other hunters had just stopped to rest and check the situation after running for a while.

This is the best time to catch wild animals.

When a wild boar is frightened, it will run for dozens of kilometers in one breath, but after running for a long time, it also means that its physical strength declines.

The same is true for other wild animals. After running away for a long time, their physical strength declines. Although they can run for more than ten miles again, their reactions will inevitably be a little slow.

Chen Weidong chose the outermost forest, where the terrain is higher than that of other forests.

After wild animals are frightened, they will run up the hillside and towards higher ground, which is to his side.

Sure enough, not long after Chen Weidong and his companions entered the forest, the big dragon in front of them was the first to discover its prey.

The Dalong incense has a long head and the incense head is not short. I brought it into the mountains several times and it can be smelled from much farther than the Black Dragon White.

It can basically just raise its head and smell the scent of prey from the flowing air, and then chase the prey.

Hearing the barking of the dog, the four people stopped being lazy and suddenly got into the mood.

He grabbed the gun and ran quickly in the direction of the barking dog.

The four men quickly distanced themselves from each other. Chen Weidong ran in the front, followed by Shitou, and behind them were Bingzi and Li Shengli.

After passing through a bush, we saw nine dogs in front of us, surrounding four musk deer.

Four fragrant deer, in the encirclement, stepped restlessly on the snow under their feet, leaving footprints one after another.

Every time he tried to escape, two dogs would rush forward and force him back.

Seeing this scene, Chen Weidong couldn't help laughing. Dalong and the others have learned their lesson and know the true meaning of hunting. This is the real hunting.

Just round them up and then slowly hunt them.

Of course, this is also because what they encountered was a fragrant deer. If it was a big man or a wild boar, they couldn't encircle it even if they wanted to.

The fragrant deer is slightly smaller than the sika deer and has no horns on its head.

Chen Weidong was a little puzzled, musk deer are not social animals. Therefore, musk deer encountered in the mountains are usually alone.

However, Chen Weidong was relieved soon. There were four musk deer in front of him, two large and two small.

This is a Xiang Deer family. Xiang Deer usually acts alone, but there are also cases where they act as a family unit.

Fragrant deer usually come into estrus in November and December and give birth in May or June of the following year. Now the cubs are only about half a year old.

In this way, it can be explained why there are four fragrant deer.

"Brother Weidong, musk deer!" Shitou ran to Chen Weidong and shouted excitedly.

"Yeah!" Chen Weidong nodded with a smile.

"how to do?"

"Wait for Brother Shengli and the others, we'll capture them alive!" said Chen Weidong.

The most famous thing about fragrant deer is musk, which is a precious medicinal material.

It is precisely because of the musk that the fragrant deer has become the target of many hunters and once became an endangered animal.

In later generations, this is also a beast that has been imprisoned for more than five years and less than ten years, and is a national second-level protected animal.

The purpose of catching them alive is of course to get the musk.

A male fragrant deer is a steady source of wealth.

And the farm at home! There are only three sika deer so far!

After waiting for a while, Li Shengli and Shi Tou also caught up.

"Brother Shengli, Bingzi, Shitou, there are four musk deer. Let's capture them alive. I will be responsible for the biggest one." Chen Weidong began to assign tasks to the three men.

"I'll be responsible for the female musk deer!" Li Shengli took the initiative to choose another adult female musk deer.

"Be careful, musk deer can also bite people." Chen Weidong reminded.

"I know that if I can't even catch a female musk deer, I won't go into the mountains to hunt anymore." Li Shengli said confidently.

Soon, the tasks were assigned, with Shitou and Bingzi each responsible for one cub.

Chen Weidong slowly walked from behind the musk deer towards the largest male musk deer.

The male musk deer spotted Chen Weidong, raised its hind legs and kicked him.

Chen Weidong was quick-witted and dodged the kick by turning his body to the side. He then grabbed the musk deer's hind legs, took a step forward, and pinned the male musk deer to the ground.

The moment Chen Weidong took action, Li Shengli also took action. He rushed forward with one step, hugged the female musk deer's neck, and threw her to the ground.

The situation of Shitou and Bingzi was even simpler. The two musk deer, about half a year old, were like little lambs, surrounded by a group of eager dogs.

Naturally simpler.

He took out a rope from his backpack, wove a simple halter on the spot, and put it on the musk deer's head.

Musk deer, roe deer, red deer and sika deer are all relatively docile wild animals. Once they are put on a bridle, they are much more docile than wild horses. Of course, musk deer are also very timid and are actually not easy to raise.

"Weidong, what are you going to do with these four musk deer?" Li Shengli asked after tying up the musk deer.

"Raise them! The breeding farm was just built not long ago, and the musk deer are good things. If you raise them well, you can get a batch of musk every year." Chen Weidong said with a smile.
