Dashan Makes a Living 1984

Cui Wanshan went on to say: "If this is the case, if we drive the bear out of the tree, it will move cumbersomely, and it will not run too fast. Whether it is dangerous or hunting him, it will be much easier to handle. This is the common sense of hunters, so We often say that walking in snow but not wind is for this reason.”

"It turned out to be this way," Wang Tianxiao was greatly shocked, and sighed: "I followed him a few times before, so it looks like I didn't learn anything, it was purely for fun, I heard you say that today , only to find that there are many ways in here.”

"How long have you been in the mountains? I have been in the mountains for more than ten years. Your experience is not as rich as mine. Isn't it normal? It doesn't matter. As long as you are still in the mountains, you will understand this sooner or later."

"Okay, I will rely on Teacher Cui for guidance from now on."

"Must, must. You wash your stone well, I'll make a knife, I can't do without some good equipment."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Cui Wanshan glanced at the golden eagle, and slowly walked over there.

The moment he touched the stick, the golden eagle, which had been quiet, suddenly became nervous, and its two-meter-long wings suddenly spread.

"Snapped!"

The moment it unfolded, there was already a huge wind and wave, and then it flapped its wings several times, blowing everything around it away.

Its body even sank slightly, and it was ready to spread its wings to fly at any time.

"Don't, I don't want to provoke you."

Cui Wanshan hastily subdued her, and said to Wang Tianxiao with a smile: "You golden eagle treats me as a villain, you have to be careful, don't scratch my head."

Wang Tianxiao smiled wryly.

He had no choice but to stand up and gently put his head on the golden eagle's side face, then the golden eagle slowly lowered its wings and regained its calmness.

"Xiao Liu, this uncle is my friend, he is a good man, don't be hostile to him in the future, okay?"

The golden eagle didn't pay any attention.

It is still full of vigilance, and it does not mean to relax in the slightest.

The two looked at each other, and had no choice but to smile bitterly, "Let's talk about it later, she is just so stubborn, not as smart as a dog."

"That's the only way to go." Cui Wanshan walked to the side with regret.

Wang Tianxiao looked down, he was only talking, and he didn't brush out a few stones for a long time, the progress was too slow.

Hastily started to work quickly.

It took more than two hours to dry in one breath, and finally washed away all the prepared stones.

He stood up and wanted to move his waist, but found that his waist was so painful that it almost broke.

After a good rest, the General Assembly will recover.

Seeing Liu Yuanzheng and Cui Wanshan sitting over there chatting, I knew that these two people had a lot to talk about.

It's good to be friends with each other.

"Lili, I've finished washing the stones here, what's the next step?"

"Have you seen those water tanks in the small warehouse? I've washed them clean before, but they haven't been dried yet. Help me get a rag to wipe all the water inside."

"Why wipe that, there is only a little water, it shouldn't affect the taste, right?"

"Why doesn't it affect you?" Li Yali shouted inside, "It's almost impossible to get the taste I want. You see, why do I put the vegetables outside to dry for a few days, just to free up more water.

Don't underestimate the water. If you don't remove it, the flavor of our seasoning will be absorbed into the water at the beginning, and the taste of the dishes will not be even. Then some of them will definitely be delicious and some will not be.

Also, we want to pour some boiling water, but not now, we have to wait until the seasoning seeps into the dish before adding water, so that it will be delicious. Just like when we make soup, we don’t add water all at once, but cook the vegetables first, and then add water. "

"I understand this. If you add water directly, it will be equivalent to boiled dishes, which have no taste at all."

"That's the truth," Li Yali smiled, "Kimchi is also the same truth, how about it, this is knowledge, can it be a teacher for you?"

Wang Tianxiao couldn't laugh or cry.

"Confucius said that if there are three people, there must be someone who can be his teacher. I found that this station randomly finds three people. All three are my teachers, and all of them can teach me knowledge."

"Is this how people translate this sentence, it's really... Forget it, forget it, work quickly, I'm waiting to use it."

"Okay, I'll do it now."

Wang Tianxiao picked up a washbasin and a rag to work in the warehouse.

To be honest, his energy to work is really not as good as before.

When I was young, I had endless energy and exhausted energy, but now, I still have a young body, but I can't do it for long, as if I am exhausted.

He sums it up as mental exhaustion.

That is, when a person reaches a certain age, he will feel a sense of fatigue. He does not mean that he has no strength, or that he is too tired to work, or that he simply does not want to do anything and feels inexplicably tired all the time.

Even eating is tiring, and walking is also tiring.

What I want to do the most is to lie on the sofa and Ge You lie down.

He put the washbasin and towels on the ground, looked at the two neat rows of water tanks, and suddenly smiled wryly. It seemed that it was not easy to do anything. He wanted to help his wife with some work and show a good performance, but he didn't expect such a thing. not easy.

Thinking about it again, I originally asked someone to come back to cook so that my wife would not have to work so hard, but she still couldn't do it and had to do it herself.

In comparison, it seems that his wife is more diligent and harder than him.

Um……

You can't be a giant in language and a dwarf in action.

Go!

After making up his mind, he looked at the fire in front of him, like enemies waiting for him to conquer, completely ignited! .

It was originally predicted that there would be heavy snow the day after tomorrow, but it was delayed for two days before it fell.

I thought it was too much.

Wang Tianxiao and Cui Wanshan discussed that if they still didn't make it, even though they knew the danger and the difficulty was greater, they still had to give it a try.

Wang Tianxiao went to the city hospital to visit Wu Qiancai again, but he was still the same, showing no signs of improvement.

This made Wang Tianxiao even more anxious.

The matter of going to Xiongxiazi Ridge seemed even more urgent.

This time, form a team of four.

Needless to say, Wang Tianxiao and Cui Wanshan, of course, Wang Tianxin couldn't miss such a good opportunity, so he had to keep up.

The remaining one was given to Liu Yuan.

This old man hasn't been in the mountains to beat Xiong Xiazi for a long time, his hands are itchy.

It is said that when he was young, he had beaten Xiong Xiazi many times.

He also told many stories about him hunting and killing Xiong Xiazi. Cui Wanshan believed that nine out of ten of what he said were true, not bragging.

If so, take it with you.

However, Wang Tianxiao was still a little worried about the old man's physical strength.

After all, to go out this time, you have to climb two mountains to reach the destination.

It's the sky of the university and the mountain road, which is quite dangerous and requires some physical strength to support it.

When Liu Yuan heard this, he looked contemptuously at Wang Tianxiao.

"You kid said that I lack physical strength, right? It's not my old man who brags to you. Don't look at my age, you are still a young man, but when it's your turn to climb the mountain, you may not be my opponent. Back then... ..."

Well, it's another elaboration on his heroic deeds when he was young.

Wang Tianxiao and Cui Wanshan shook their heads and smiled wryly, but Wang Tianxin listened with gusto and was Liu Yuan's best listener.

Liu Yuan has such a small fan, so it is naturally quite exciting.

As I talked, I didn't know where it went.

But in the end, Wang Tianxiao still said to bring it.

Liu Yuan has been working silently at the station. If you give him money, he doesn't want it. If you give him delicious food, he is just average.

All it takes is a little rough Qingcheng baijiu to do the trick.

Now he has such a simple request, if he doesn't agree to it, wouldn't it be too unreasonable.

However, the three chapters of the covenant must be mentioned.

When the time comes to go out, you can't be brave, you must abide by discipline, and you can't rely on the old to sell the old.

Anyway, it is necessary to maintain a humble and prudent attitude.

In order to go out smoothly, Liu Yuan, of course, accepted everything.

Those who have decided to travel, the rest is to equip and store supplies.

Just include some stoves, charcoal, dry food, water, spirits, sandbags, white medicine, tents, bedding, etc.

Anyway, if you can think of it, you will be well prepared.

The last time we killed wolves at the West Peak of Yangziling, the weather wasn't so cold, it was still sunny, but it was still freezing to death at night, so Wu Qiancai's arm was frostbitten.

This time, it is not possible to save people because of the need, but to cause new injuries.

After preparing everything, the three of them took advantage of the heavy snow and started on the difficult hunting road.

Although Li Yali loves her husband dearly, she can only hide her worry in her heart. She has always been very sensible in major matters, and basically does not interfere with her husband's normal activities.

But my heart is still very worried.

She has stayed in the mountains before, so she knows that traveling in snowy weather is inherently risky, and it is also a place where wild animals may appear.

I can only pray silently for a few people.

Dongshan on a sunny day and Dashan after snow are completely two worlds.

The heavy snow will completely cover people's vision in front of them, and because of the falling snow, people will subconsciously close their eyes to avoid it, and shrink their necks, so it takes more energy to deal with it.

Moreover, many roads in the mountains were originally potholes. When they are not covered by snow, people can see them clearly and it is easy to avoid them.

But now that the snow is on top of the pit, you can't see anything.

It is often thought that a step on flat ground is a pit, and the result is that people fall over and over again.

That is to say, the slope of this road is not very steep. If one is not careful, people may fall under the cliff.

According to Cui Wanshan's request, the four people used ropes to connect their bodies together. The pulling was not very tight, and each other would not interfere with their walking. But in case someone stepped on the ground and made a problem, the other three could quickly pull him back.

It is equivalent to an additional insurance.

When he first started on the road, Wang Tianxin was still full of interest in this trip. He thought it was exciting and cool to go into the mountains under heavy snow, so he always wanted to talk to some seniors.

He was ruthlessly stopped by Wang Tianxiao.

Tell him that in this environment, people don't talk too much, and they can't even walk crookedly. Try to keep the same frequency, and you can follow the other three people to release your physical strength.

If the body wants to allocate more energy to resist the cold, it will inevitably consume physical strength.

If you don't know how to control yourself, you may not be able to walk soon.

Only then did Wang Tianxin fall silent.

The four of them were like four ascetic monks going to worship, walking forward in silence.

After walking for more than an hour, they came to the boundary between the east and west peaks of Yangziling. Everyone rested for about ten minutes, put the things on their backs on the ground, and took the opportunity to exercise their muscles and bones.

"Old Wang, how far is it from here to Xiong Xiazi Ridge?"

Wang Tianxiao thought for a while, and said: "It's really hard to say the specifics, I was also young... Oh, it was just before we walked through Ziwu Ridge from the mountain road, and it took our family all the way to Ziwu Ridge, it took about a little more than a day.

But there are six peaks in Ionwu Ridge. I roughly estimate that it will take half a day to walk from where we are standing to the nearest Xiongxiazi Ridge. "

"Half a day, right?" Cui Wanshan looked at the watch on his wrist. "It's just past eight o'clock, and we'll try to get to Xiong Xiazi Ridge before twelve o'clock. When we get there, we have to find the bear's hiding place.

Although the place is called Xiong Xiazi Ridge, I guess there are only a dozen or more than 20 Xiong Xiazi in the whole mountain. If we are unlucky, we may not be able to find one in half a day. "

"That's the reason. Reaching Xiongxiazi Ridge is only the first step. If the bear is so easy to find, then everyone will do it. Our goal this time is to finish it within three days. My wife and I said so."

"Three days, about the same. If we are lucky, we may not need it. The main reason is that we are not very familiar with the situation in Xiongxiazi Ridge. We still need to get a little familiar with the scene after we arrive.

Hunting seems to be about getting prey into our pockets, but more crucially about getting it back alive. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be foolproof. "

"That's the reason, Old Cui, you are a skilled old hunter. I was right to find you. It seems that many of my ideas were immature before. If I came here directly, there might not be any problems."

"Haha, it's okay, you'll get proficient slowly, it's not difficult, and that's not what you're good at. On the contrary, Xiao Wang, you're still young, so you just have to endure this kind of hardship. The young man has a bright future."

"Brother Cui is right. I just can endure hardships. My brother still doesn't admit it. I just want to become the most powerful hunter in this area. No one else is better than me!"

"Tianxin, you bastard, can you be a little more humble, how did my brother tell you, I forgot it in a blink of an eye, people must be humble!"

"Brother, you just don't believe that I can be better than you, do you?"

"Are you better than me?"

Wang Tianxiao also smiled, "Okay, then you should behave well and learn from your big brother Cui. I learned a lot from him."

"I know, anyway, I meet someone who is better than you."

Everyone laughed.

After laughing, I packed my bags and continued to move forward.

After walking for another half an hour, I came to the place where I fought the jackals last time. The battlefield at that time was already buried by heavy snow, and I could hardly see anything.

Wang Tianxiao paused at this position, and the two brothers looked at each other by coincidence, thinking of the dangerous horror of that night.

Then, pack up and move on.

After walking for about half an hour, or an hour, I walked out of Yangziling and officially came to Mengbaling.

There is a clear dividing line between Mengbaling and Yangziling.

The terrain of Mengbaling is slightly lower, and passing Yangziling seems to be descending into a basin.

Because of the low terrain, a lot of running water nearby will gather in Mengbaling, which makes the vegetation environment of Mengbaling more complicated.

There is also competition among plants.

Because plants are rich and diverse, there will be many plants with life attributes and extremely similar demand resources. In the same environment, these plants will form a fierce competition relationship.

Weak plants evolve slowly and are forced to find a place.

Therefore, there are no tall trees on this mountain, and most of them are dominated by broad-leaved forests. It is a bit like the East Peak of Yangziling.

The west peak of Yangziling is mostly coniferous forest.

What kind of plants grow are related to the terrain environment.

However, for Wang Tianxiao's hunting team, the vegetation environment of a broad-leaved forest like Meng Baling is actually better.

It is winter now, and the broad-leaved forest is bare, and there is nothing to hide at all.

You don't have to worry about a wolf sneaking up from behind and surrounding everyone.

Can see far away at a glance.

"Keep going, or should we wait a little longer?" Cui Wanshan asked.

"Uncle Liu, how are you?"

Wang Tianxiao was still most concerned about Liu Yuan's physical strength. After all, he was almost sixty years old, so there should be no problems.

"Are you asking me?"

Liu Yuan asked him lightly.

"?"

Wang Tianxiao smiled wryly: "Uncle Liu, don't try to be brave, we don't need to be in such a hurry, the temperature is low this day, if the physical exertion is too much, people will not be able to bear it."

"Don't worry, I won't necessarily fall even if you fall."

"Hey, you say you are stubborn, old man." Wang Tianxiao smiled speechlessly, and said to Cui Wanshan, "Then keep going. The terrain of Mengbaling is low, and the temperature will be relatively high. We will find it later." A shelter from the wind, let's rest for a while, and then go to Xiongxiazi Ridge."

"Okay, let's do that."

Since everyone is fine, Cui Wanshan didn't say much.

Whoever has a problem, he will not have a problem. He runs in the mountains for half a day almost every day, and his physical strength is very good.

Everyone started walking in silence again.

Low terrain is the benefit of low terrain.

Walking in Mengbaling, the wind is much lower and the ground is a little flatter. Even the snow on the ground is much less than that in Yangziling.

So the speed of progress is much faster than originally thought.

What's more interesting is that when everyone walked in, they found that Meng Baling was actually long from north to south and short from east to west. Now everyone walks from east to west, and the distance is relatively shorter, which shortens the travel time on the basis of the original.

It's a good thing.

With such a double-layer bonus, Meng Baling, which was originally planned to pass in three hours, only took about two hours to complete.

Originally, he planned to rest in Meng Baling for a while, but it seemed that he couldn't rest.

Everyone walked to the edge of a cliff and looked up. It was a tall and white cliff, more than a hundred meters higher than the mountain behind.

Cui Wanshan stopped, telling everyone to stop walking.

"It seems that we have finished walking Mengbaling. The cliff in front should be Xiongxiazi Ridge. Let's adjust here, eat something, and recover our strength. This place is still warmer. When we get to the top, we want to go to the top again. It’s not easy to find a place.”

Wang Tianxiao looked ahead and felt that what Cui Wanshan said made sense, so everyone began to rest on the spot.
