Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

"Then what's not allowed? People in our commune, every year around this time, gang up and go up the mountain.

The few of us had a temper with Brother Xu, so we wanted to find you together. "

Fangshan, most of the time, is to find someone who gets along well with him on weekdays. Like Xu Shiyan last year, he was simply forced to do nothing.

Although Xu Shiyan has not been in Donggang for a long time, he has made many friends.

Before, they gathered cattle hair and planed Gastrodia elata together, and they both thought it was a good match, so this time they came to Xu Shiyan again.

"You've all said that, so go ahead and find someone. Everyone knows the rules of letting go of the mountain. You want to be single or not double.

It’s best to be able to ride a bicycle. If we want to go, we can go a little farther. I don’t think we have a share in the nearby places. "

It would be nonsense to say that Xu Shiyan is not moved. Since everyone wants to go, they should go into the mountains together, and they will meet if they don't get together.

When everyone heard that Xu Shiyan agreed, they were all very happy, so they discussed that they would go up the mountain the day after tomorrow, which is the 16th day of the seventh lunar month.

After the discussion was completed, those few hurried home to prepare things.

Xu Shiyan also hurriedly cooked and ate, and then rummaged through the boxes to find all kinds of tools and clothes for Fangshan.

On the next day, July 15th, the Ghost Festival, it is not allowed to go to the grave to burn paper at this time, and besides, the Xu family has no ancestors here, so there is no need to pay homage.

So Xu Shiyan was resting at home to coax the children that day, and Su Anying happened to have the opportunity to cut a lot of beans, eggplants, and cucumbers to dry.

This is the case with Zhuanghuyuan. The dried vegetables in summer can be saved for winter and spring.

After the beginning of autumn, the weather is dry, and the dried vegetables are not easy to mold and grow hairs.

Su Anying usually wants to coax the children, so she can only take the opportunity to cut less. This time, with Xu Shiyan's help, Su Anying cut a lot, and the west yard is all over the place.

The sun is very good. After one day, those vegetables will be half dry.

In the evening, Xu Shiyan helped to pack everything up, and after drying it the next day, it was almost ready to be put away.

In the early morning of July 16th, Xu Shiyan, Huang Shengli, Sun Xiaofeng, Feng Chao, Zhou Qinguo.

The five people each carried sixty to seventy kilograms of luggage, and rode bicycles from Donggang, walked eight kilometers to Baixi Forest Farm, and headed to the reserve.

The Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve was established in 1960 and is divided into a general reserve and an absolute reserve.

In recent years, the management of protected areas is not so strict, and outsiders are generally allowed to enter protected areas.

It was not until after 1982 that the general protected areas and absolute protected areas were abolished and put under unified management. After the management regulations were promulgated in 1988, strict management was implemented.

From Donggang to the protected area, Xu Shiyan chose the shortest road, which was still 70 to 80 kilometers away.

This year is full of firewood roads, which are incomparable with the cement roads and asphalt roads of later generations. It lasted until after two o'clock in the afternoon, and finally arrived at the scheduled location.

Xu Shiyan visited Ma'anshan Forest Farm for several years in his previous life and went to the mountain every year, so he is very familiar with the vicinity of the reserve.

Familiar with the road, he led the crowd in from a forest path, and found a sunny hillside.

When you go to the place, you still set up the master's mansion first, then build a shack and collect firewood.

Xu Shiyan was chopping wood with an ax when he suddenly saw something running over not far away.

Its fur was brown red, like a wolf, but smaller than a wolf, with a few black hairs on the tip of its tail, thin waist and short legs, quick movements, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"What just ran over?"

Among the few people, Zhou Qingguo had never been in the mountains before. He left as a soldier when he was eighteen. He came back last winter. How could he have the chance to go into the mountains?

So when he saw something running past, Zhou Qingguo wanted to chase it.

"Qingguo, you don't want to die, dare to chase after it?" Xu Shiyan hurriedly called Zhou Qingguo to stop.

"Do you know what it is? Do you dare to chase after it rashly?"

As soon as Zhou Qingguo heard Xu Shiyan's words, he knew something was wrong.

"Was that a wolf or a fox just now?" Zhou Qingguo asked uncertainly.

Xu Shiyan shook his head, "It's not a wolf or a fox.

That thing, don't look at its small size, even the ancestors of wild beasts in the mountains, tigers, leopards, bears, and pigs are afraid of it.

If a hunter brings a dog into the mountains and dares to provoke it, even the dog and man will be ruined. "

"Ah? What is so powerful?"

Over there, Feng Chao and Sun Xiaofeng were also dumbfounded when they heard this. They had never heard of this kind of animal before.

On the other hand, Huang Shengli, the grandfather and father of the family can hunt, and the old man in the family has said it, so he knows what it is.

"Brother Xu, are you talking about jackals?"

"Yes, that's the thing." Xu Shiyan nodded.

Jackal, a local name, is actually a jackal, and people in the mountains also call it a red wolf.

Jackals are smaller than wolves, but their sense of smell, hearing and vision are sharper than wolves, and they are agile and good at running. They are the enemies of many animals in the mountains.

This thing is very cunning, relying on its own quickness, it jumped onto the opponent's back like a gust of wind, grabbed the opponent's neck like pliers, and bit the throat fiercely.

No matter how strong the beast is, it can't break free until its throat is bitten off.

Everyone in the mountains knows the temper of jackals, so no one dares to provoke it, so it is rare to hear of jackals hurting people.

After listening to Xu Shiyan's explanation, Zhou Qingguo heaved a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I didn't catch up just now, otherwise it would be quite dangerous."

Zhou Qingguo went up the mountain with a gun, not for hunting, but for self-defense.

Just now he was curious for a while, but now he thought about it, but fortunately he didn't follow Xu Shiyan impulsively, otherwise it would be really awkward.

"When you enter the mountain, you have to abide by the rules of the mountain, even if you have a gun, that's not okay.

We are here to release the mountains, not to hunt, not to be in danger, and not to provoke animals. "

There are many rules in the mountains, and the emphasis is on the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. Most people do not go hunting when they enter the mountains.

Unless it is too long in the mountains and there is nothing to eat, there is no way, most of them are setting traps to catch roe deer or something.

"Hey, I got it, third uncle, I'll listen to you." Zhou Qinguo nodded repeatedly.

For a person like him who has never let go of the mountain, it would be nice to be able to take him with him. He doesn't dare to talk nonsense, it's better to be obedient.

A few people speeded up their actions, quickly set up the floor, and built a fire outside at night.

Several people sat around the fire, eating and chatting while warming the fire.

After chatting until after eight o'clock in the evening, Xu Shiyan asked everyone to go back to rest.

"Have a good dream tonight, and tell me about your dream tomorrow morning."

According to the rules handed down by the elders, Fangshanren's dream is not in vain, there is a saying.

Many people followed the guidance of dreams to find the club, so Xu Shiyan would tell everyone that.

The shack was covered with mats of grass and roe deer skin. Xu Shiyan fell asleep not long after lying down.

From time to time in the deep mountains and old forests, there would be the howling of wild animals, especially wolves, whose sounds were low when they breathed out, and loud when they returned their breath, the movement was really scary.

After sleeping until midnight, Xu Shiyan felt a smell of urine.

He felt strange and got up to check, only to see a shadow running away at high speed.

That shadow looked like it was the jackal that I saw in the afternoon. Cooperate with the guy to pee nearby.
