Chapter 46 Preparation for entering the mountain

When Wang Peng returned to the yard, the Queen Mother asked worriedly: "You want to go into the mountains with Marshal Zhang? I heard that the black and blind people came out a few days ago. It is too dangerous." Apparently the Queen Mother heard what Zhang Taiping and Wang Peng said.

conversation.

"What's going on? There are a lot of people, and the big handsome guy's friend's big dog is also very powerful. It's a Tibetan Mastiff. It was that big dog last time, the black blind man bit him." Wang Peng waved his hands and said indifferently.

The Queen Mother doesn’t know who the Tibetan Mastiff is and how powerful it is. She just knows that the black blind man in the mountains is very powerful. It is said that he can kill a person with a slap and take away a piece of meat with a lick of his tongue. I really don’t worry about the king.

Peng and Zhang Taiping went into the mountain together, but they couldn't persuade him to go in. It was useless to say anything. Wang Peng listened to Zhang Taiping the most.

The already criss-crossing wrinkles on my forehead became deeper, and I couldn't help but pray silently.

After returning home, Zhang Taiping started preparing things for the mountain.

The first thing to prepare is self-defense equipment.

A knife is a must. Whether you encounter danger or do other things after going into the mountains, having a knife will always be much more convenient.

Dashuai Zhang remembered that when he was a child, his grandfather had some very sharp and domineering knives. He always liked to take them out, watch them, rub them and wash them when he had nothing to do. He never let anyone touch them. They were very precious. However, he never took them out again because of some things.

However, Marshal Zhang coveted those knives very much, but he didn't have the courage to ask the old man for them, and he couldn't find them by himself.

I don’t have any other props at home, just a woodcutter. The style is not very eye-catching, but it’s still sharp. It’s easy to swing and won’t hurt people’s hands because of its dullness. It can still be used after a while.

I couldn't find another knife. I wanted to borrow it. It's not easy to borrow something like a knife. I had to use the woodcutter at home.

The three-pronged steel fork is also necessary. It can only be used as a close-quarter defense weapon. Its main function is to open roads or cut down some small trees and thorns. The three-pronged steel fork is purely used for combat and self-defense. If you encounter

If you see a large animal, you don't dare to let it get close. Most people's reaction is not as good as that of animals. In addition, animals in the mountains and forests have rich experience in hunting and fighting. Once they get close, it is equivalent to putting their own lives at risk.

into the opponent's claws.

Mountain people with a little experience know that when a person encounters large predators such as wolves and leopards in the mountains, they generally cannot defeat them. This kind of animal is basically the top of the food chain in the mountains, and there are only traps.

It takes a lot of people to surround and kill them.

If unfortunately you encounter someone alone, the first thing you have to do is to stand still and maintain your posture without losing your momentum. The most taboo thing is to turn around and run away. This will make it attack more unscrupulously. Then you must find ways to distance yourself from these animals.

Distance, using long-distance attacks to make up for the lack of close combat between humans and animals.

The best weapon at that time was not a knife, but a three-pointed steel fork one meter long. Just like a gun, it could be stabbed, picked, and thrown at critical moments. It was the best self-defense in the mountains.

Weapons. Basically every household in the village has one.

As for food and water, it is not a problem for an experienced hunter. You can live in the mountains for a long time without bringing anything. Water can be found according to the location. Food can be hunted by yourself. You only need to bring seasonings and cook them.

Just one session is enough.

The rich old man who went with him this time was an experienced hunter, so he didn't need to worry about these issues at all. However, out of caution, Zhang Taiping still prepared some dry food, and there was room for spring water, so there was no need to bring it with him.

I didn't forget to pack some seasonings in a wooden box. You don't need to bring food in the mountains, but you must bring seasonings. You can hunt without food, but if you don't bring seasonings, even if you hunt and bake the food, you won't be able to eat it.

Matches and fuel are also essential. However, considering that the air in the mountains is humid, matches tend to become wet and difficult to rub after a night, so you need to prepare a few lighters.

I didn't have any fuel or lighter at home, so I had to go to the store.

When we arrived at the small store, Wang Bajin was looking after the store, but his wife was not there.

Seeing Zhang Taiping come in, Wang Bajin stood up and said enthusiastically.

"Commander, it was all thanks to you that time."

"Thank you, weren't you in the tree at that time? The wild boar couldn't hurt you at all. It doesn't matter if I go or not, it won't be of much help to you."

"That's different. If you save it, you will save it. Can I forget it?" Wang Bajin finally said it with a serious expression while his wife was not around.

Zhang Taiping saw that his feet were still hanging out, so he changed the subject and asked, "How are your feet now?"

"It's not a big problem. I just can't step on it and it hurts when I step on it. I can only walk on tiptoes, like a girl." Wang Bajin said rather troubled.

Zhang Taiping didn't say it out loud, but he thought to himself, he was a submissive weakling who was bullied and disciplined, why did he care about being a girl?

"It's been a hundred days since your muscles and bones have been strained. It's better for you to move less and rest more." Zhang Taiping warned, but I don't know whether he listened or not.

In fact, everyone knows the saying "it takes a hundred days to break a muscle", but if people in rural areas have broken bones or something, they often start working hard again within three months. It's not that they don't care for their bodies.

, but if you don’t work hard, the whole family may go hungry. Rural people don’t have the good treatment of being paid even if they are sick.

"Do you have gasoline here?" Zhang Taiping asked.

Wang Bajin was startled: "Gasoline? Where can we find gasoline here? If there is, I don't know who to sell it to. If you buy it, it will only rot in your hands. You can't buy this product."

Zhang Taiping thought the same thing. Who in the village can use gasoline for a year and a half? It is normal not to have it. He had to settle for the next best thing.

"What about kerosene?"

"We have kerosene, how much do you want?" Wang Bajin said happily.

The kerosene in the store has not been sold out since it was purchased in the past few years. The village had just received electricity a few years ago, and the lines were unstable and always broke down, so every household prepared a kerosene lamp in case of emergencies. In recent years,

Now that the circuit is stable, there are less sudden power outages, and the kerosene lamps can no longer be used. Naturally, the kerosene in the shop cannot be sold, and it accumulates and rots in the hands.

Now suddenly someone wants to buy it, Wang Bajin is naturally happy. He can sell as much as he can, and it means nothing if he keeps it there, as long as he can exchange it for money.

"Three kilograms." Zhang Taiping said and handed over two plastic bottles, one big and one small. The big one can hold two kilograms, and the small one can hold one kilogram.

Wang Bajin took the bottle and went in and drank two bottles. After coming out, Zhang Taiping said again.

"Two more lighters and a bottle of white wine."

Wang Bajin took two lighters and put them on the counter, then asked: "What kind of wine do you want? Taibai, Xifeng, or Erguotou?"

Wang Bajin's small shop only has these three kinds of wine. Generally, when people in the village drink Erguotou, this one is the cheapest and the strongest. When people drink it, they mainly drink the first strong one and the cheaper one.

That's good, I really can't get used to drinking Xifeng's Mianjin. I only give Xifeng or Taibai to my family when celebrating weddings and weddings.

Zhang Taiping thought for a moment and said, "Erguotou and Xifeng each have a bottle."

"Okay!" Wang Bajin responded loudly, then moved a stool to take down a bottle of Xifeng wine from the upper shelf, and then took out a bottle of Erguotou from the bottom.

After taking a look at the things placed on the counter, Zhang Taiping put his hand into his pocket to pay. But his hand suddenly stopped and asked.

"Are there any firecrackers here now?"

"Firecrackers?" Wang Bajin was stunned by this question. He really didn't know if there were any anymore. Firecrackers usually only come in when the Chinese New Year is approaching, and it's still early for the Chinese New Year. "I don't know if there are any, you know?"

Wait a moment, I'll look for you." Then he went into the house.

The store is not big, so some items that are not commonly sold are kept in the back room and can only be found when needed.

After a while, Wang Bajin came out with a bag of things in his hand.

"There aren't many left. These are the ones left, which were not sold out last year."

Zhang Taiping lowered his head and saw two cakes worth 500 bangs, a pack of broken firecrackers, a few big thundercrackers and a pack of small thundercrackers. "Let's take all of these. Calculate the total cost."

Wang Bajin took out a calculator and pressed it a few times before giving out the number: "A total of forty-two yuan, take a look." As he spoke, he pushed the calculator in front of Zhang Taiping.

Zhang Taiping took one look and simply paid. Just as he was about to leave, Wang Bajin climbed up to the counter and asked mysteriously in a low voice.

"Commander, I heard that you and your friends are going into the mountains to kill bears? Is it true?"

Zhang Taiping was so happy that he behaved like an underground party. This must have been Wang Peng's big mouth who couldn't hold back his excitement and spread the word. People in the small village could hear farts at the end of the village. This matter would spread to the whole village immediately.

.said dumbfounded.

"Going into the mountains is real. Going into the mountains with friends is just for fun. Killing bears is a bit far-fetched."

After saying that, he waved and walked out without waiting for Wang Bajin to speak.

People in the village don't have any other entertainment programs. They just have this little fun. In their free time, they can chat with their aunt. Basically, if something happens in the village, it will spread throughout the village within an hour. It seems that the heart of gossip is

Regardless of region or poverty.

When he got home, Zhang Taiping found a large piece of cotton and planned to make some simple torches.

Soak cotton in kerosene for enough time, then take it out and wrap it around one end of a wooden stick. Then a simple torch comes out. With a flashlight, these torches may not be used at all, but he is naturally cautious.

It’s better to make these preparations so that you are prepared for any trouble.

After finishing, put all these in the space, leaving only a small bottle of kerosene outside.
