Dashan Makes a Living 1984

Moreover, the biological chain in the natural world is the most primitive component. The simple superiors eat the inferiors, and the small fish eat dried shrimps.

Unlike humans, it can resupply different links in the food chain.

For example, if people want to eat vegetables, they will try to grow vegetables. If they want to eat fish, they can raise fish. If they want to eat geese, they will raise geese.

But grass, fish and geese are not a food chain at all.

It is also because of this that human beings are more adaptable, and any shortage of the food chain will not ultimately affect the survival of human beings.

It will only say that it affects biodiversity.

Except for bacteria.

But animals are like this, wolves like to eat sheep, but they will only kill sheep, not raise sheep.

While sheep eat grass, they also don't know how to raise grass.

Therefore, the number of sheep and wolves that appear in each environment must be stable. After long-term selection, the number and category that can be accommodated are basically stable.

If there are too many sheep, the grass will be eaten up in advance, and the sheep will become extinct.

If there are too many wolves, there will not be enough sheep to eat.

There are too few wolves, and the function of sheep will degenerate due to the lack of natural competition, and eventually they will also face the end of extinction.

In addition to biodiversity, diversity within species is just as important.

Take wolves, for example.

Because the slope of Ziwu Ridge is relatively steep, the wild animals living in this place have good stamina, and those creatures without stamina must be eliminated because they cannot adapt to the environment.

So the wolf here is the moon wolf.

It is because this guy is especially good at running, fast, tall and fierce, with long legs and good endurance.

And the snow wolf obviously didn't adapt to this environment.

They like to live in colder places, and they don't need to hunt so hard to fill their stomachs.

Put them here, unless after a long time of evolution and honing,

Evolution and tempering, if not passed, it can only be extinct.

There are also racial struggles between wolves and wolves. In the eyes of humans, they are all wolves, but in the world of wolves, they don't all think so.

It is undoubtedly a dream for Snow Wolf to compete with Moon Wolf for territory.

They are not the moon wolf's food at all.

It is estimated that they can only grab downstream food with jackals and honey dogs.

But jackals and honey dogs are more united and have many ethnic groups. If you offend them, you will also get miserable ambitions.

"These two snow wolves won't live long."

Wang Tianxiao sighed, turned around and continued on his way.

"Why, bro?"

"Go back and tell you slowly, shut your mouth now and save your energy, at least we can rest until we find the place up to Xiong Xiazi Ridge."

"oh."

Wang Tianxin glanced at the wolf, suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and followed closely behind everyone.

It was getting colder.

Everyone walked for more than an hour, but the snow became smaller than before.

Looking around, the whole world is covered in white, and the four people are also covered with snowflakes. From a distance, it is difficult to tell that there are four human beings here without careful attention.

"How long have we been walking?" Wang Tianxiao asked.

Cui Wanshan looked at his watch, "It has been six hours since I came out this morning."

"That is to say, it's past three o'clock now."

"Well, three twenty-seven."

"Look for another half an hour. If we still can't find it, we will rest at the foot of the mountain. The sky in the mountain will be darker earlier than that on the plain. The temperature must be very low tonight. If we happen to meet a wind vent, we can't help it." Settle down and come back again.”

"Well, I thought so too."

Cui Wanshan pushed the luggage behind his back upwards, "It's a little more troublesome than I expected to come out this time. I never thought that the connection between Mengbaling and Xiongxiaziling is actually a cliff."

"Well, it's also my fault. The position I took at the beginning didn't seem to be the one I came here today. I didn't think it was too complicated at the time."

"Let's go, walk for another half an hour."

Cui Wanshan looked at the front and suddenly laughed, "Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I climbed the mountain so strenuously. I think it's quite interesting. I've been staying in the forest farm, looking at those familiar places every day. Almost every inch of the ground, every step Familiar can not be more familiar, I am tired."

"Makes sense."

Wang Tianxin watched the two elder brothers so energetic from behind, and felt embarrassed to say that he was actually very tired.

He turned to look at Liu Yuan, thinking that the old man must feel similar to me.

But Liu Yuan just gave him an indifferent look.

It seems to be saying, boy, wait to see my joke, right? I don’t know who of us will get down first.

Well, this old man didn't even admit defeat, and I definitely can't show weakness. It's nothing to be looked down upon by the two elder brothers. If Liu Yuan, the old man, is also compared to me, it would be really embarrassing.

"Tianxin, are you tired? If you are tired, give me the gun."

"I'm not tired, I'm in good spirits."

"Okay then, let's move on."

Wang Tianxiao heard the stubbornness in his younger brother's tone, and smiled, but didn't expose him.

Boys will grow up eventually.

At 4:06 in the afternoon, the slope finally changed from a cliff to a shallow slope.

A winding road can be seen faintly.

Everyone was overjoyed.

After searching hard for a long time, it turned out that the road was hidden here.

"Let's go!"

Wang Tianxin was overjoyed, and was about to rush up the hill, but was pulled back by Wang Tianxiao.

"Why, brother, why don't we go up?"

"I won't go up, let's rest at the bottom of the mountain tonight. Look at the slope of the capital, where to rest. We are exhausted now, and it is difficult to spread even if we find Xiong Xiazi's den. Besides , You forgot what happened last time, beasts have a better vision than us humans at night."

"Yes, Old Wang is right. Look at the location behind us, which is just three sides away from the wind. It is a mountain nest, which is most suitable for pitching a tent. Let's rest here today." Cui Wanshan had the same opinion as Wang Tianxiao.

"But it's not dark yet, it's only four o'clock, and there's still an hour before it gets dark."

"Silly boy, I didn't tell you that the sky in the mountains is different from that on the plain, and it's easier to get dark here. And looking at today and the heavy snow, it's impossible to wait until five o'clock. It's probably too dark to see at around four thirty." What's the matter. You have a lot to learn from them, use your brain more, don't ask everything."

Liu Yuan seized the opportunity and expressed appropriate contempt for Wang Tianxin.

"As long as you know a lot, I didn't see what you said, who wouldn't be an afterthought."

"I'm an afterthought. I just didn't say it. When I was begging for a living in the mountains, you babies weren't even born yet."

"Bragging again!"

"Why did you start again?"

Wang Tianxiao persuaded the two with a wry smile, "Didn't you two have a good relationship before, when did you become so tit for tat?"

"Will I have a good relationship with a kid?"

"I'm not with the old man yet, just kidding."

"Okay, okay, if you don't get along, you can't get along, then let's prepare for the night."

Cui Wanshan didn't think what happened to these two like Wang Tianxiao, but found it very interesting.

He is an outsider, you can tell, the old and the young don't look at the chattering non-stop, but the relationship is good.

Several times, he turned his head to look at the situation of the team behind him, and found that Liu Yuan always tried his best to be half a body behind Wang Tianxin, seemingly careless, but in fact he was carefully protecting Wang Tianxin, preventing him from falling and sliding down the hillside.

If you bicker, just bicker, and give everyone some energy.

If you don't keep walking lifelessly, you will be lonely.

"Come on, let's set up a tent first. Tianxin, haven't you always wanted to learn how to live in the mountains, so come and try and start by setting up a tent."

"Shall I come?" Wang Tianxin looked at the tent on Cui Wanshan's back, it was so big that he had never done it before.

"You do it, I'll teach you. Watching others do things, you will never be able to really master it. No matter what it is, you can only deepen your impression by doing it yourself."

"Okay, I'll learn how to pitch a tent."

"Old Wang, you and Uncle Liu are in charge of living and cooking. Be careful not to let the flames fly out. Don't think it's snowing, but there are dry trees all over the mountains and plains. Once ignited, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Well, I know."

Wang Tianxiao stuck the gun on the ground beside him, and helped get the things off Liu Yuan's back.

When I moved it, I realized that the weight was not too light, so I couldn't help but glance at Liu Yuan. This old man is really not bragging. With this weight on him, he must not be able to carry it so far.

"Uncle Liu, don't tell me it's so heavy, I'll help you."

The things were prepared by Cui Wanshan, and Wang Tianxiao didn't know that they were so heavy, so he suddenly felt a little embarrassed that he was only carrying a small amount of things for a young man.

"The division of labor is different. You are responsible for keeping an eye on the environment and ensuring our safety. If you use a gun well, you must ensure enough physical strength. You can't use it without unnecessary consumption, or you won't lose the accuracy of the gun. This thing is still under pressure. Don't let me down, I think back then..."

"Old man, are you going to brag about the things you did back then?"

"I'm talking about what's wrong, isn't it true, you little villain, you can suffocate you if you don't talk."

"You brag, don't let people tell you."

Wang Tianxiao hurriedly said to Liu Yuan, "Uncle Liu, let's start a fire, don't worry about that bastard, he's just a child, so care about lowering your status."

"Look, they were all born by the same mother. There is such a big gap between people. I just like to listen to you. Unlike some people, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up after riding a horse for the rest of my life."

"You still said you..."

"Okay, Tianxin, hurry up and set up your tent. Didn't you say you set it up? From what I can see, it's Lao Cui who is doing it. If you want people not to talk about you, you have to do things, not just to show your prestige .No matter how good you say it, if you don’t have real skills, it’s useless.”

"Hmph, for my brother's sake, I don't care about you."

Only then did Wang Tianxin honestly cooperate with Cui Wanshan to set up the tent.

Here, Wang Tianxiao also took out the stove and started to light a fire on it.

He prepared some dry firewood in his backpack, but there were not many, so he asked Mr. Liu Yuan to make fire, and he collected some dry branches from nearby trees.

After taking it, Liu Yuan said it was almost done.

But thinking about what happened last time, Wang Tianxiao decided to do more, in case something went wrong, there would be no firewood to burn, and something serious would happen.

He picked up another large bundle of firewood and placed a small pile of firewood before he was satisfied.

Be prepared.

Over there, two talents barely set up the tent.

Seeing Cui Wanshan's panting appearance, Wang Tianxiao secretly laughed in his heart, presumably Cui Wanshan must be thinking that if I was alone, I wouldn't be so tired.

Living in the mountains in a tent is not the kind of camping that ordinary people imagine.

The tents in the mountains should be larger and stronger, and they will be protected from rain and wind, and can even prevent wild animals from entering for a short time.

It does take some work.

If there is no one to teach, it will undoubtedly be more difficult to set up the tent from the beginning.

Among other things, inserting all the piles into the ground requires some strength and skill. If a pile is not inserted at the right angle, the construction may not be successful.

After the construction is complete, three layers of thick plastic paper will be laid on the ground to completely isolate the moisture, and three layers of tarpaulins will be laid on the plastic paper for waterproofing, and then the mattress will be up.

Similarly, there is a larger tarpaulin on the outside of the tent, which wraps the entire tent inside to ensure that no wind and rain will come in and wet the tent.

After adding layers in this way, even if the tent is still not very warm, at least it can provide people with a place to rest temporarily in the wild, so as not to freeze to death in the wilderness.

When everything was ready, Wang Tianxin threw himself on the quilt in the tent, too tired to move.

"Are you tired?" Cui Wanshan asked with a smile while tying the tent straps on the side.

"It's really tiring." Wang Tianxin didn't hold his tongue anymore.

"Now I understand why your brother told you to save your energy. You have to know that walking in the mountains is not just about shooting wild animals with guns as you imagined. If you want to deal with wild beasts, you must first ensure that you are alive."

"Well, I understand."

"It's good to understand, people accumulate experience slowly."

Cui Wanshan nodded. He saw that Wang Tianxin seemed to see a familiar figure, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with Wang Tianxin.

Young people, if they are all mature like adults, wouldn't it be too boring.

As long as you guide it well, you will be successful.

"You have to remember that if you really want to eat in the mountains in the future, you must always leave a retreat for me. Sometimes hunting is like fighting. The purpose of us and our prey is to survive.

You are going to kill others, so don't try hard with us. We must be able to attack when we advance, and defend when we retreat, and we must be prepared for a protracted war.

In fact, it is a matter of physical strength. If you dislike it, then you still don’t understand why your brother and Uncle Liu let you save your strength. Now look at it, you are so tired and out of breath after setting up a tent, so what if the wild beasts suddenly attack you now? How to deal with it?

In panic, even if you have a gun, you may not be able to shoot accurately. The gun weighs more than ten kilograms. If you hold it in your hand and have no physical strength, you will not be able to shoot the wild beast accurately.

And the beasts explode very fast, maybe if you miss one or two shots, you will never have a chance to shoot again. Your brother must have told you this point, you must understand from the bottom of your heart, why we have to tell you repeatedly, it is because this is a real fight, not a game. "

"Well, I understand, Brother Cui."

"Do you really understand?"

"I really understand."

"That's good. After going up the mountain tomorrow, don't do unnecessary things..." Cui Wanshan lowered his voice and said softly, "Take good care of Uncle Liu. Look at his age, but he is more useful than you are now. You We can’t compare. Besides, taking care of and respecting those who are older than us is what a man should really have.”

Through the opening of the tent, Wang Tianxin saw Liu Yuan who was boiling water with Wang Tianxiao, and smiled slightly, "I know, I just play with him."

"I know."

Cui Wanshan nodded, "I knew from the beginning that you are a sensible child, but you still have to learn more from your brother and see how he does things. Having him as an example to imitate is enough for you to learn for a lifetime."

Wang Tianxin smiled, "I know my brother is very good, but I don't have to imitate him. I am me and he is him. I must have my own way. It's just that I know what is good about my brother."

"Well, that's what I said..."

"Old Cui, Tianxin, do you want to come out to enjoy the fire?"

Outside, Wang Tianxiao had already built a fire near the tent and started roasting meat on the fire.

This time I came out with more preparations than the last time. Not only did I bring meat and vegetables, but also various seasonings. I put the meat on the fire and roasted it, and then sprinkled some seasoning powder on it. Human scent.

"Let's go out and play together."

"Um."

The two also ran out of the tent.

The four of them squatted by the fire, watching the roasted meat tumbling on the flames while warming the fire.

From the morning until now, I ate some pancakes at noon, which was not enough to make up for the lost physical strength. Now smelling the delicious meat, everyone felt hungry, and wished to fill their stomachs with meat immediately and feast on it.

Like magic, Liu Yuan took out a small jug from behind, lifted the lid, Meimei took a sip first, and burped in satisfaction.

When Wang Tianxin saw that he was about to make a joke, he remembered what Cui Wanshan had just said, so he held back.

He subconsciously looked at his brother, and found that he was smiling gently under the firelight.

Watch the roast carefully so that the meat does not burn.

He seemed to understand what Cui Wanshan meant.

The same thing, how did my brother solve it when he saw it, how did he deal with it, and how did he do it himself?

My brother is only about ten years older than myself, but he is already very mature, he is very thoughtful about everything, and he does it well.

If I can live another ten years, I can really catch up with this calmness.

It's hard.

Brother was like a mountain in front of him, even if he wanted to look through it, he couldn't find where to start.

I can only sigh repeatedly, it's too powerful.

"Tianxin, do you want to try?"

Wang Tianxiao pointed to the barbecue on the fire, interrupting Wang Tianxin's thinking.

"me?"

"That's right, it's not difficult. It's the so-called food and clothing by yourself. You should also taste the meat roasted by yourself. Maybe it will be more delicious."

"Okay, then I'll try."

Wang Tianxin also took out four skewers of barbecued meat from the plastic bag, and was about to apply the seasoning. Wang Tianxiao hurriedly said: "Don't apply it first, wait until it is slightly roasted, and then apply it after the oil comes out. The taste will penetrate in more easily. Now the outside is frozen. , if you wipe it directly, wouldn’t the seasoning burn easily?”

"Yeah, that seems to be the case."

Wang Tianxin nodded.

"It's just right, these few skewers of mine are almost done. Let's taste one each first. I just picked up a few more. Tianxin, you can just follow my roasting mode. This thing is not difficult, just learn a few more times. .”

Everyone took Wang Tianxiao's grilled skewers, and before they ate them, they smelled a fragrance and put them in their mouths, immediately full of praise.

They all said it was delicious.

"Actually, it's mainly due to the fact that Lili's meat is marinated well. The meat itself is like that. It is mainly marinated with seasoning."

"Old Wang, you are really very happy. To find a wife like Lili, you really enjoy sleeping secretly."

"Haha, of course."

When Wang Tianxiao heard others praise Li Yali, he was never polite. In his eyes, his wife was very good.

It's okay to take any compliment.

It's not like some men, whose wife is doing a good job in everything, but when outsiders mention it, they have to be polite and say nothing.

Not necessary.

Wang Tianxiao is very modest in other aspects, but this has always been his pride.

"Come on, watch, Tianxin, first put the skewers on the fire and roast for two or three minutes, yes, that's it..."

Wang Tianxin followed suit and gradually became proficient.

"Boy, hurry up and bake, I'm still waiting to eat."

Wang Tianxin rolled his eyes at him, and was about to reply a few words, but finally stopped.

"Wait."

Just yelled impatiently.

Liu Yuan was stunned, he didn't wait for the ideal rebuttal, and he was still a little uncomfortable.

"I don't want to eat it if it's not baked well. At least one-tenth of your brother's level, do you hear me?"

"..."

Wang Tianxin endured and endured, so he didn't throw the skewer in his hand into the opponent's face.

It seems that other things are easy to learn.

It is this endurance skill, which is really too difficult to cultivate.

He remembered what his second brother said before, he must not be soft on those who want to hurt him, but he should be more tolerant and understanding to the people around him, the weak people.

Only in this way can people live an easy life and be liked by more people.

Well, bear with it!

After eating, Wang Tianxiao put out the fire and everyone got into the tent.

The tent is big enough to accommodate four people with no problem.

"You sleep on the inside, I sleep on the mouth, I sleep on it, and the sleep is light. If something comes, I will wake you up and wake up."

Liu Yuan insisted on sleeping on the opening of the tent.

"Uncle Liu, it's windy at the door, maybe it's too cold. You should sleep in the innermost room. I'll come and see the door." Wang Tianxiao disagreed. Old people are afraid of the cold, so it would be bad if they were frozen.

"It's okay, my body is strong, and I can still support the cold."

"Then... well, then you can sleep outside first, and if it's cold, just tell me and we'll change it back."

"Okay, let's do it like this."

"We have agreed that if it's really cold, you can't hold on. The purpose of our visit this time is to heal brother Qian Cai's body. If he doesn't heal well and you get frostbite again, it won't be worth it. "

"Don't worry, I'm really not that fragile. Some young people are usually very good at speaking. I don't know if real guns can hold up. This is doubtful. You should pay more attention to him."

Wang Tianxin, who was lying in the middle honestly, was a little unhappy when he heard this.
