Dashan Makes a Living 1984

In the Northwest, weasels are not as mysterious as in the Northeast. They like to come to the house to steal chickens, and if they are not careful, they will be locked in the chicken coop and cannot get out.

Moreover, once they are caught, they will really be killed, instead of worrying about their retribution and treating them as Huang Daxian.

They are also from the north, but the people from the northwest are relatively tougher, and they are not afraid of the sky and the earth.

Wang Tianxiao's family has caught a weasel a few times, and it was always in the chicken coop. He would hang the weasel upside down on the wall and starve him to death, so that he could get the whole weasel skin.

The weasel is full of treasures, its fur can be sold for money, and its tail is specially bought at a high price. Although the taste of the leftover meat is mediocre, it is still edible.

In this era, meat still needs to be supplied with meat tickets. Generally, urban household registration is first satisfied, and very few are distributed to rural areas. Many people only eat a little pork, beef and mutton during the Chinese New Year throughout the year. Everyone has less oil and water in their bodies, so they like to eat pork very much. Unlike later generations, beef and mutton are much more expensive than pork.

Wang Tianxiao saw his younger brother making a fuss, and thought it was amused. His younger brother was usually very courageous, but he had a passion in his heart ready to do his best for the country. Unexpectedly, when he came to the mountains, he still showed his youthful side.

He patted his younger brother on the shoulder, looked at the vast mountains, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, although the animals in the mountains are dangerous, they are not insidious. Human beings are the animals that need to be guarded most in this world."

"Brother, you are really becoming more and more like a mother, why are you full of reasoning?"

Wang Tianxiao was taken aback, then laughed.

The two continued to walk for a while in the snow, and the nearest village could no longer be seen behind them, so they had really reached the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain is a series of hills, which have been reclaimed by farmers into fields one after another. These lands are not under the jurisdiction of the government, so there is no need to pay public grain, so things like potatoes, sweet potatoes, and sorghum are also very good.

It is winter now, and the fields are all bare, with rows of haystacks piled up on every field.

Some are sorghum stacks, some are sweet potato vines, and so on. Under the moonlight, they look like long strips of steamed buns.

Villagers close to the mountains had no shortage of firewood for cooking, but now Li Yali is in poor health, and her stomach is so big that she is so nervous to get off the kang, let alone go to the mountains to chop firewood, so the firewood at home has become a problem.

"Brother, how long do we have to go?"

Wang Tiancheng felt a little cold. He had no experience of patrolling mountains at night. After walking for two hours, his patience and initial enthusiasm gradually faded, and he felt uncomfortable.

"Hush!"

Wang Tianxiao stopped, took off the snakeskin bag from his waist and handed it to Wang Tiancheng.

"elder brother?"

Wang Tianxiao pointed to the haystack in front of him, and then pointed to the snow on the ground.

Wang Tiancheng followed his elder brother's hand to look at the snow field, and was surprised to find that there were two rows of small paw prints on the ground extending all the way to the stack of sorghum poles in front of him.

"Is there a problem?" Wang Tiancheng's breathing became rapid.

"Look here."

Wang Tianxiao took out the flashlight from his pocket, bit it in his mouth, untied the soil gun on his back, pointed at the stack of sorghum poles, slowly moved the stack away, and sure enough, he saw a small hole in the middle.

Suddenly, the strong light of the flashlight suddenly shone in the hole, and a gray hare was sleeping in the hole.

The strong light of the flashlight made her a little panicked, but the strong light stung her eyes for a moment, and she didn't know where to run, so she rushed straight at Wang Tianxiao.

"This idiot." Wang Tianxiao had quick eyes and quick hands, and hit the hare with the tip of the gun, knocking the hare unconscious in the hole.

A small thing like a hare, despite its flexibility, actually has poor stamina and a stupid brain.

None of them have the stamina to run without terrain constraints, or the help of cover, let alone run dogs.

Every year during the autumn harvest, when the villagers go to work in the fields, they will bring their native dogs with them. Every now and then, they will encounter wild rabbits hiding in them and stealing food.

Hare, pheasant and badger are known as the three idiots, describing them as stupid as hell and easy to be caught.

Badgers, whether they are badgers or badgers, are all putting on airs. Don't look at them as fierce. One wants to bite and the other wants to slap people. In fact, they are just paper tigers and can be easily countered.

Pheasants may have been severely hunted because they were too stupid. In this era, pheasants can be seen in every vegetable field, but they are almost rare in later generations, so they have become protected animals.

The continuous development of human civilization has squeezed the living space of these wild animals to a certain extent.

But this is also the natural selection of nature, who calls them wild animals.

"Give me a piece of the rope."

Wang Tiancheng hastily pulled out a bundle of hemp rope several feet long and handed it to Wang Tianxiao. Although he had eaten wild rabbits, he had never killed them himself. He was very excited when he saw the unconscious hares.

Wang Tianxiao was not so excited. Hitting a rabbit was basically commonplace for him.

It's no different than going to the bathroom.

He quickly wrapped the rabbit's mouth with a rope a few times, and fixed the legs, and then he put it into the snakeskin bag and handed it to his younger brother to carry it.

The hare's teeth are so sharp that if you put it directly into the bag, it will break the bag and run away.

If only leggings, it can also bite through the rope.

Many people have no idea about the teeth of rabbits, and think that rabbits are really cute, but in fact, rabbits are also rodents. Their front teeth are very sharp, and they can bite through wood. If bitten by a rabbit, they will fight rabies Vaccine, otherwise it might really die.

In addition, rabbits are also very good at burrowing.

When Wang Tianxiao was a child, his mother used a small cave to raise many rabbits. As a result, these guys made countless small holes in the walls of the entire cave, and they were always stuck in the holes. If you don’t feed them, you won’t see them in a hurry.

But even if you know that the hare may escape, you still can't kill it directly. The price of dead and alive wild animals is not at the same level.

A live hare can be sold in the city for five yuan, or even ten yuan if you are lucky, but no one wants a dead one.

In addition, for all wild animals, try to ensure the integrity of the skin. There must be no holes, cracks, cracks or the like on it. Basically, no one wants the damaged skin.

Therefore, Wang Tianxiao does not know how to use a gun unless he has to, and even if he uses it, he will use very little gunpowder, just to prevent the skin from being beaten too badly, or the rabbit killed, so that the price cannot be sold.

The hare meat tastes the same, it’s not very tasty, and there’s so little meat, one rabbit is not enough for a family to have a tooth sacrifice, so people in mountain villages don’t care much about it, but people in the city eat it strangely , especially many big hotels, have a lot of demand.
