Dashan Makes a Living 1984

"Brother Wenhua, do you still have the strength? Get us some branches. This fire can't be extinguished. We haven't eaten, our body temperature can't be controlled, and we have spent so much energy. If there is no fire, we may fall asleep once we fall asleep. will freeze to death here."

"Okay, I'll do something."

"me and you togather."

Wang Tianxin struggled and went out with Wu Wenhua.

Wu Qiancai's injured arm had been torn apart by wolves before, and he bled for half the night, and he had already lost a little too much blood.

When there were wolves, I endured all my strength and persisted. Now that the danger is gone, and my body and mind relax, I just collapsed on the ground and couldn't move, just like Wang Tianxiao.

Wang Tianxiao and him looked at each other, both smiled.

"Brother Qiancai, you can't fall asleep. After a short rest, we will go down the mountain."

"Good boss."

Wu Qiancai agreed, but he still wanted to close his eyes subconsciously. He felt very sleepy, and he didn't even have the strength to hold on to his eyelids.

Wang Tianxiao saw it, and was slightly impatient, knowing that this was a sign of exhaustion.

He struggled to climb to Wu Qiancai's side, and found that his arm was still bleeding, and the clothes on his body were completely soaked in blood, and were frozen by the cold weather, forming hard blood ice.

Gritting his teeth, Wang Tianxiao tore off a piece of the close-fitting vest, folded it into a ribbon shape, and helped Wu Qiancai bind the wound, so that the blood would not flow like this for the time being.

It's also thanks to Wu Qiancai's good health and strength that he can persist until now. If it were other ordinary people, he would have collapsed long ago.

Wang Tianxiao was very grateful and ashamed.

Speaking of it, although we have been together for a year, we are basically like family members.

But in the final analysis, it is just an employment relationship.

He can't let others suffer with him, let alone fall into such a crisis.

Even though he didn't know the danger.

When we go back, give them some more wages.

Although it's not a life-saving grace, it's about the same. We all have experienced life and death together, so naturally we can't compare it to the past.

He can't let these kind and righteous people be chilled.

It is to let them all know that as long as people are kind in their hearts, as long as they give, they will get more things.

After a while, Wu Wenhua and Wang Tianxin came back with firewood.

The three set up the fire again.

The flames began to burn slowly again.

It's much warmer around.

Wang Tianxiao had burned his coat earlier to suppress the fire, so at the moment he was wearing the least clothes on his body, even though he was scorched by the fire, he was still shivering from the cold.

Seeing this, Wang Tianxin untied his coat and said to him, "Brother, come on, let's put on one another to cover the wind, so it won't be so cold."

Wang Tianxiao smiled, "No need, I'll just stick to it, get dressed quickly, don't freeze yourself."

"It's okay, I'm in such good health, how could it be possible to freeze, besides, isn't this the same as when we were young?"

Wang Tianxiao was stunned.

Then with a slight smile, he got into his brother's clothes.

Like a raincoat, the brothers carried a coat over their heads.

What Wang Tianxin was talking about happened when the two were young.

At that time Tianxin was very naughty, his mother didn't let him go out to play, so he just wanted to sneak out, but when he came back, the irritable Zhang Yufeng wouldn't let the child in.

Wang Tianxin could only shiver outside the door in winter.

At this time, Wang Tianxiao saw that he couldn't let his younger brother come back, so he would run out with his clothes, and then huddled with his younger brother at the entrance of the alleyway in the pit yard to keep warm.

This happens many times.

If Wang Tianxin hadn't mentioned these things suddenly, Wang Tianxiao would have forgotten about them.

What happened 40 or 50 years ago is another insignificant matter.

"Are you scared?"

Wang Tianxiao flipped the wolf's leg on the stick and asked his younger brother with a smile.

How do you say wolf meat tastes like, it has a faint earthy smell, not so tasty...

But it's hard to say whether it's delicious or not.

Wang Tianxiao gradually realized that what he thought was unpalatable might be tasty to others, so it was really hard to define.

And the barbecue mainly depends on the seasoning to enhance the taste.

No meat tastes very good without seasoning.

But now is different.

After eating at noon yesterday, everyone has not eaten anything so far. Even if they stay quietly, they will be very hungry, not to mention fighting intensively for half a day and midnight.

Even with all his strength, he did his best.

At this time, as long as it is edible, they will find it very fragrant, so they don't care about the taste.

There is no such condition.

Fortunately, there is nothing else. Now the wolves and jackals that have fallen all over the ground can be eaten.

Because the food of jackals is very complicated, it is generally a bit dangerous to eat, and there are more parasitic diseases. It is not recommended to eat them directly by roasting. Wolves are different.

Just set it up and bake it.

Four wolf legs, one for each person.

He gnawed it with relish.

"It would be nice to have a sip of wine at this time."

Wang Tianxiao said quietly.

He doesn't really like drinking, but for no reason, he wants to drink some wine right now.

He thought of those Jianghu characters in martial arts novels, and they ate with pride, saying that if a good man walks in the Jianghu, he should eat meat and drink heavily, without the slightest twitching gesture.

Living on the edge of a knife, if you have wine today and get drunk today, how can you control the flood tomorrow.

It seems that Taiguo is a little more free, but it also reveals a sense of chic.

Sure enough, the world of rivers and lakes is every man's ultimate romance.

"Give."

Suddenly something was thrown over.

Wang Tianxiao subconsciously reached out to pick it up. It turned out to be a small wine sac made of some kind of animal skin. He picked it up and shook it. There was still some wine in it, not a lot.

He looked at Wu Wenhua, but Wu Wenhua smiled naively, "Sometimes I'm too tired from work, so I just take a sip."

"Good stuff, Brother Wenhua, you are my savior."

Wang Tianxiao lifted the lid of the wine pouch, smelled it, and found that it was very common Qingcheng Baijiu, with a high alcohol content, more than 60 alcohol.

And it's that kind of bulk cargo.

This kind of bulk wine is generally because of the rough filtration process, it tastes a little scum, and the degree is not very stable, sometimes it is very high, it can be close to 70 degrees, and sometimes it is lower, less than 50 degrees.

So when ordinary people drink this kind of wine, it is a bit like opening a blind box for later generations.

When you type it out, you usually smell it, or take a sip, and you will sigh: "Today's wine is good, it's strong, and I made a profit."

Or say: "This ghost wine can fade out like a bird, it's a big loss."

However, no matter whether it is a profit or a loss, it is all about drinking and drinking.

No one said it was a loss, so they had to find trouble in selling wine, and they wouldn't say it was a profit, it was really a benefit to selling wine.

It's just a simple exclamation.

This wine was originally sold cheaply, you can drink a glass for ten cents, and a pot of wine is only one or two yuan.

What about a bike?

Just drink what you have.

In many cases, people in Qingcheng drink like a ritual.

It doesn't depend on the quality and strength of the wine, whether it is cheap or expensive, as long as it can be drunk anyway.

This is also our life wisdom and basic logic.

Make do with it, as long as you can get by.

A day in the past is a day, a year in the past is a year, a lifetime in the past is a lifetime.

If you really can't make it through, then wait for the next life.

Wang Tianxiao took a sip of the wine, and it really tasted very strong, and it rushed directly from his throat to his head in an instant, as if he was rushing straight into the sky.

He felt the strength a little bit, and shouted loudly: "It's cool!"

Then he handed the wine pouch to the younger brother beside him, "Come on, Tianxin, would you like to have a sip too?"

"You won't let me drink, brother?"

Wang Tianxiao said before that he heard people say that you can't drink alcohol while studying, or you will lose your mind if you drink it.

So before Wang Tianxiao asked Wang Tianxin to wait until he was eighteen before drinking.

But tonight, he felt that there was no need to control the pain.

This environment, this state, maybe this sip of wine can bring my brother's character to a new stage.

"Just a sip, it's okay."

Wang Tianxin took the wine bag, opened it, sniffed it under his nose, and frowned, "Brother, is this good?"

Wang Tianxiao was stunned, and then laughed out loud.

Wu Wenhua and Wu Qiancai also laughed.

Because of the pain, the two of them even laughed and coughed.

"There is nothing good in wine. The wine in the world has no taste. What has taste is the human heart. If you are happy, the wine you drink will taste mellow and rich, but if you are sad and angry, the wine will becomes a bitter taste,

Therefore, whether the wine tastes good or not depends on your mood when you drink it. You can only know if you really try it. "

"Then I really drank?"

"Drink it."

Wang Tianxin cheered himself up and took a sip.

Immediately his expression became very strange.

The face was completely shrunk together, like a kind of bag with a tight mouth, and the rope was suddenly tightened.

It looks fun and funny.

He almost desperately screwed on the lid of the wine bag and threw it to Wang Tianxiao beside him, grinning his teeth and looking at his brother Wang Tianxiao with resentful eyes.

Wang Tianxiao couldn't stop laughing when he provoked it.

This guy, just by this expression, can play a smile.

Can make people laugh to death.

"How does it taste?" Wang Tianxiao asked.

"...Brother, I swear, I will never drink alcohol in my life. If I take another sip of alcohol, I will be a dog."

Wang Tianxin almost gritted his teeth.

"haha ok."

Wang Tianxiao was perfunctory to his younger brother, but he secretly thought that his younger brother didn't know how long a human life is.

And how many vows can really stand the test of time.

Most of the time, it's just a joke.

There are always various situations that make people have to violate the oath, or even walk on the opposite side of the oath.

Those who swear to be good all their lives may end up being worse than anyone else.

And those couples who have sworn to each other, once they break up, they will hate to death.

It is said that they were friends who cut their necks, but many people cut their friends' necks.

A filial child who promises to stay with his parents for the rest of his life, once he meets his sweetheart, he will leave with him mercilessly.

Therefore, it is good to maintain good expectations during the time of swearing.

"Why is the wine so bad? I think you guys are still drinking all day long. You are really making yourself guilty."

Wang Tianxin slowly dispelled the smell of alcohol in his mouth, and complained.

Wu Wenhua smiled, but did not speak.

Wang Tianxiao said: "Is it bad to drink? It depends on the person. If you think it is bad to drink, it may be delicious to others. For example, you like to eat tomatoes, but I think tomatoes are particularly bad. , I feel like vomiting when I smell it, so do you think tomatoes are delicious or not?"

"This...of course the tomatoes are delicious, but the wine is not tomatoes."

"It's not the same, it's just a taste."

Wang Tianxiao patted his younger brother on the shoulder, and said: "Besides, people are like this. We live in the world, and not everything we do can be done exactly what we want. It's like you don't like reading, but if you don't If you read books, you don't have knowledge. Even if you see many things, you still can't understand them.

For another example, most parents in the world would rather work hard on their own, but leave all the good things to their children, so why don't they choose a more comfortable life style? Isn't this kind of comfort just like something that tastes good, but hard work and suffering just taste bad? "

Wang Tianxin was stunned.

He lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Wang Tianxiao saw that his effect had been achieved, so he didn't say any more.

He looks only a few years older than his younger brother, but in his heart he treats his younger brother as a child.

There is an element of restlessness in my younger brother's personality. If he doesn't resolve it, he will have big problems sooner or later.

Since I planned to lead him well from the beginning of this life and let him be an upright and good man, I need to slowly educate him from the little things in daily life.

Once a person's character is formed, it is difficult to change.

All that can be changed is nothing more than the control of character.

And character determines habits, habits affect behavior, and behavior finally leads to various results.

If you don't want to have bad results, you must have a good character from the beginning.

Or, at least, a healthy disposition.

When the sky was about to dawn, there was a chirping of eagles in the air, and everyone looked up and saw that it was a golden eagle hovering in the air.

Hastily reaching out to greet, the golden eagle swooped down from the air and landed beside Wang Tianxiao.

Looking at the corpses of jackals on the ground, the golden eagle was also a little confused, and its feathers stood on end in an instant, looking very nervous.

Wang Tianxiao patted her on the head lightly.

This guy may have never seen such a big battle before, fear is not necessarily, accidents are still possible.

Just like even if a person can easily strangle ants to death, if tens of thousands of ants crawl over at the same time, it must still be a bit scary.

The golden eagle slowly calmed down under Wang Tianxiao's comfort.

She spread her wings again and flew in the direction she came from.

It is estimated that people have been shaken.

Most birds do not have night vision, with the exception of a few falcons.

Birds such as eagles and eagles have weak eyesight at night, that is, they can clearly distinguish general obstacles, but it is basically difficult to clearly see things on the ground.

Therefore, even if the golden eagle came out to look for them at night, they probably wouldn't be able to find them.

It is also easy to have problems by yourself.

It was not easy for her to be released to serve as the vanguard just after dawn.

"Wait a little longer, I think those who are looking for us are on the way. The golden eagle will bring them here soon."

Wang Tianxiao encouraged the three of them again.

After the three of them saw the golden eagle, they could also figure this out, so their eyes began to glow.

Sure enough, ten minutes later, a group of people appeared on the mountain road.

There are at least thirty or forty people.

The golden eagle was flying at low altitude in front, leading the crowd towards the four of them quickly.

It wasn't until Wang Tianxiao approached that most of these people were workers in his own village, and the one at the front was his wife Li Yali.

At this time, everyone has come nearby.

Seeing the body of Cailang on the ground, everyone's eyes widened in shock, completely speechless.

They had never seen so many wolves and jackals in their entire lives.

It is estimated that the scene in front of them is an indelible memory for them all their lives.

Although Li Yali was also afraid, she was more concerned about the safety of Wang Tianxiao and the others. She trotted to Wang Tianxiao's side in a hurry, took off her coat and wrapped it around Wang Tianxiao's body, and asked with concern, "Shopkeeper, are you alright?"

Li Yali is more than 1.7 meters tall, and women's coats are already long, so it doesn't look too small when wrapped around Wang Tianxiao.

Wang Tianxiao smiled, seeing his wife's hair covered with frost, knowing that she must have been looking for it for a while, she felt distressed, "I'm fine, why are you here?"

"Didn't you come back last night? We said to wait and see at first, but we didn't see anyone in the middle of the night, so we hurriedly asked everyone to look for it together."

"Where's the child?"

"It's okay, the child is being watched by his fourth aunt."

"Oh, is the fourth child here too?"

"Well, he took another path and brought some people with him."

"Oh, I'm fine." Wang Tianxiao said again.

"That's good," Li Yali turned her eyes to Wang Tianxin who was next to her again, "Tianxin, how are you?"

"I'm fine too, sister-in-law."

"That's good, you guys are really worried about me... Ah Brother Qian Caihua, are you injured?"

Only then did she notice Wu Qiancai's arm.

"It's okay, I just got bitten by those bastards."

Then go down the mountain quickly and get a rabies vaccine!

Wang Tianxiao also nodded: "That's right, Brother Qiancai has to go back to get the vaccine quickly."

He stood up with the support of the stone, and ordered two people to come over to support Wu Qiancai.

Although the injury was on the arm, Wu Qiancai's face was a little pale and his body lost strength because of the high tension all night and sitting here in the cold in the middle of the night.

The two people who came over wanted to support Wu Qiancai, but found that his legs were weak. In the end, they had no choice but to cut some small trees and branches to make a simple stretcher, and sent Wu Qiancai down the mountain in advance.

"After going down the mountain, take it directly to the hospital, go to the hospital in the city, don't delay, don't worry about money."

Wang Tianxiao ordered the people who carried it.

"Okay, Uncle Tianxiao, we know it well."

These people have worked in the mountains for nearly half a year. Wu Wenhua and Wu Qiancai are their managers. The two brothers are honest and honest. Although they are managers, they will not do anything to them specially, so everyone has a good relationship. .

Especially the few people who carried the stretcher were even more closely related to him.

Almost without Wang Tianxiao's explanation, they knew what to do.

After the first wave of people left, Wang Tianxiao ordered everyone to clean up the corpses on the ground. After they were cleaned up, there were sixteen jackals and nine wolves.

Really a very rare pack of jackals.

It's a pity that many of the furs of these jackals were damaged by guns or knives, so they couldn't be sold at a good price.

For animal fur to be sold at a price, the fur must be kept intact.

However, the meat of these jackals can also be eaten for a while.

Fortunately, there are so many people, otherwise it would be impossible to clean up.

There were more than thirty people, and each of them happened to carry one.

People who didn't understand thought that Wang Tianxiao and the others came to the mountain for hunting, and these wolves were his prey.

"Shopkeeper, shall we go?"

Li Yali supported Wang Tianxiao and said softly.

But Wang Tianxiao looked at the corpses of these jackals, and at the mountain peaks further to the west, it was a bit difficult to make a decision.

He had a strong premonition that even if he killed so many wolves and jackals tonight, the leader jackal who organized these wolves might not be among them and was still at large.

If you go back like this now, it will inevitably happen again later.

The reproductive ability of jackals and wolves is not weak.

It doesn't take long to gather such a wave of wolves.

But this kind of brain jackal leader is rarely encountered, it can be said that it is rare to encounter one in decades.

What needs to be eliminated is the potential danger it poses.

"The shopkeeper?"

Li Yali urged again.

Wang Tianxiao's eyes turned serious, he decided to follow him and look around to see if he could find the jackal.

I left in a hurry yesterday and didn't do enough preparations.

Now the people who came to look for them brought food, and the golden eagle was also circling in the sky, so they must still be able to find the jackal.

Get rid of it to avoid future troubles.

That is, the dogs were seriously injured.

Now the only one who can still fight is Aying, the female wolf Qing, Dahei died in the line of duty, and Dafeng is also full of scars, and was carried away on a small stretcher long ago.

By the way, two young wolf dogs were also taken away.

They encountered such a big scene for the first time on a mission, and it took some time to digest it.

If you can accept it and turn your fear into motivation, then you will be a very good mountain dog in the future, but if you are scared out of your wits, then you will only be a good-for-nothing dog to guard the house in the future.

I can no longer run in the mountains.

Dogs that are frightened will weaken their legs when they see wolves. Not only will carrying them not improve their combat effectiveness, but they will still be a burden. It is better not to bring them.

"Lili, you go down with the others first, I want to track down the leading jackal, if that guy doesn't kill him, there may be another wave in the future.

We have already lost three dogs this time, if it continues like this in the future, it will inevitably not hurt people. I'm going to kill it right now while it's isolated and helpless. If you have to wait until you recover, I'm afraid it will be difficult again. "

Li Yali looked at her husband in disbelief, but didn't realize it for a long time.

what are you saying?

Could it be that I heard wrong.

You look like you are going to faint at any moment, you said you still want to track the jackal, how dare you think about it?

It's not a joke, is it?

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

At this moment, everyone else left, leaving only Wang Tianxiao and his wife, and Wang Tianxin who was still making light bulbs beside him.

Wang Tianxiao saw his wife staring at him blankly, not speaking, a little timid.

"If you really want to go, then I will go with you."
