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

Chapter 28: Mountain Pigeon, Sand Chicken

Liu Xueting had just gotten up, her hair draped over her shoulders. Because she had given birth to six little kids, she always exuded a faint milky fragrance.

Seeing his wife so virtuous and attractive, Chen Weidong couldn't help but sigh:

Damn it! I didn’t pay the public grain last night.

Last night, Chen Weidong and Liu Xueting were already very passionate.

As a result, the little girl Wu Ni suddenly woke up, and then quietly crawled to Chen Weidong, who was about to take action, and said in a dazed and babyish voice: "Dad, Wu Ni wants to pee!"

But at that time, Chen Weidong had his sword on the string and didn't pay attention to the little kid next to him.
As a result, Wu Ni, who was in a daze, saw that no one paid attention to her.
Rubbed his eyes,
Suddenly, he burst into tears!

As you can imagine, this cry not only ruined Chen Weidong's good deeds, but also woke up the little ones.
But what Chen Weidong found strange was that although Wu Ni was young, she was not a crybaby.
You know, she comforted herself when she fell! And Chen Weidong even checked and found that she didn't wet the bed.

Then Chen Weidong and Liu Xueting asked,
The little guy cried and cried for a long time.

Chen Weidong finally understood that the little guy thought he was bullying Liu Xueting.

This little kid is only two and a half years old and doesn't know much.
Usually the children in the village would fight, just like what Chen Weidong did just now, which made Liu Xueting blush.

Afterwards, he said something to stop Chen Weidong from touching her.

…………

Hey!
Have children,
Paying public grain is like stealing!

This house is too small, with only one kang. Although it is normal for the whole family to squeeze on one kang in Northeast China in that era, it is indeed not very convenient. When I have enough money, I will build a new house and let the little ones sleep in their own room.

Chen Weidong sighed, then picked up the rice that Liu Xueting handed to him and started eating it with pickles.

After eating, Chen Weidong changed into clothes for going into the mountains, tied his legs, carried his gun, took a slingshot and some tools, and then went up the mountain.

Pine forest.

Snapped……

With a slight sound, the bullet flew out and accurately hit the head of the gray dog ​​jumping back and forth on the tree trunk.

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

Chen Weidong walked straight to the side, picked up the greyhound, took out a sharp knife, and quickly pierced its throat to let the blood.

Chen Weidong is now very good at shooting with a slingshot. For a greyhound jumping on a branch like this, it is actually very easy to hit it as long as you figure out the pattern of its jumping and have quick eyes and hands.

But what made Chen Weidong speechless was that they had been climbing the mountain for almost two hours, and this was only the second greyhound they had caught today.

Because Chen Weidong often shoots in the pine forest these days, these greyhounds have become much more cunning, and it is almost impossible to encounter a greyhound standing still for him to shoot like before.
Even many greyhounds will disappear without a trace at the slightest sign of trouble.

Leaving Chen Weidong with nowhere to shoot.

The greyhound in this place slipped, so Chen Weidong decided to explore deeper.

The pine forest was not very large. After Chen Weidong passed through the pine forest, he saw two mountain ridges in front of him. Below the mountain ridges was a small valley.

The valley is bare, with only some scattered bushes and small trees!
When Chen Weidong was crossing the valley, he suddenly saw a rabbit jumping quickly and running into the bushes nearby.

Although the bushes were small, Chen Weidong did not try to catch them. Chen Weidong saw at a glance that there were many rabbit holes in the bushes in the valley, connecting them in all directions. The rabbit had already entered the hole, so it would be a complete waste of time to catch it.

After crossing the valley, there are more forests in front of us.

As soon as he arrived at the forest, Chen Weidong saw a flock of birds flying down from the forest above his head. After discovering Chen Weidong on the ground, they flew forward again. Chen Weidong's eyes lit up. These were mountain doves! Chen Weidong had been eating greyhounds in the mountains these days, and he had long wanted to change his taste.

The mountain dove is a common bird in the mountains. It looks like a pigeon.
However, the mountain dove usually has a gray-brown body, black wings and tail, but the edges of the wing feathers have light orange and orange feather bands, and the tail feathers are grayish white at the ends.
The feathers are arranged in a very neat and orderly manner. There is a more conspicuous feather on the neck.

The upper part of these feathers is grayish white, while the roots are brown. This color combination of feathers appears very layered.

The turtledoves in Northeast China are delicious! Especially when they are used to make turtledove soup, the soup is fresh, the meat is tender, the taste is mellow and delicious.

Chen Weidong immediately chased after it. Mountain doves are different from ordinary birds. Because of their limited abilities, mountain doves usually have to stop after flying for a while!

Just now, these turtledoves obviously wanted to stop, but were scared away by him.

Sure enough, after chasing for a while, Chen Weidong found these mountain doves landing on a tree not far away.

Chen Weidong immediately touched it carefully.

These turtle doves are playing in the trees.

Apparently he didn't notice that a "Sixth Brother" had quietly approached.
The distance was about seventeen or eighteen meters, and Chen Weidong immediately pulled the slingshot.

Snapped……

A mountain dove screamed and fell from the tree.

The other turtledoves were frightened and fled in haste.

Chen Weidong did not continue chasing them. These mountain doves were frightened and would probably try their best to fly for a while longer. It was unrealistic to try the same trick again.

Chen Weidong walked straight forward, processed the mountain dove simply, and put it into the sack he was carrying.

Then Chen Weidong continued searching along the forest eastward. When passing a mountain slope, Chen Weidong suddenly heard the cry of chickens coming from outside.

He stopped and took a look. Oh dear, there were more than a dozen sand chickens digging for food among the short trees on the grassy slope.

Chen Weidong immediately took out his slingshot and carefully reached over

Shabanji, half the size of a chicken.

The Sand Chicken is quite famous in the Northeast. It is a popular bird for its medicinal and edible uses. It is also very easy to catch.

It's a pity that I don't have a gun to shoot iron sand. Now there are dozens of them gathered together to search for food.
As long as there is a homemade gun that can shoot iron sand, one shot can be enough to cover an area with the scattered iron sand.

The sand chicken is very good to eat, and the price of the chicken is about the same as that of the pheasant.

Quietly approaching, Chen Weidong was ten meters away, took out a mud ball, loaded it, tightened the bow skin, and shot out with a snap.

Immediately, a Sand Half Chicken screamed and jumped up. After landing, it fell to the ground, its wings kept flapping, and its feet were twitching violently.

It was precisely because of this surprise that the other sand half chickens suddenly flew up.

However, this thing is not as good as the mountain dove. It doesn't fly high or far. It basically falls back on the grass about ten meters away.

Chen Weidong walked to the side of the shot sand chicken and put it neatly into the sack on his body.
