Rebirth in 1970: I work as an educated youth in a forestry farm

Sheng Xiping likes to carry the gun on his right shoulder. When taking it, the thumb of his right hand goes up from the shoulder, so that the gun strap reaches the tiger's mouth.

Just take it off and hand it to your left hand, hold it with your left hand, turn on the safety with your right hand and hold the handshake in front of the butt of the gun.

Once there is a situation ahead, the index finger can be immediately inserted into the trigger to aim and shoot.

In this way, Sheng Xiping held the gun and walked forward following the guidance of Erlang Shen and General Hei.

When he came closer, he realized that Erlang Shen and General Hei had bitten something.

Through the faint moonlight in the forest, Sheng Xiping leaned over and took a closer look, and then he realized that it was a badger.

However, something doesn't seem right about this badger. It's injured quite seriously.

Sheng Xiping was confused, but he didn't dare to be careless. He put the safety on the gun first, and then drew the knife to deal with the badger.

As soon as the badger died, both dogs relaxed. Sheng Xiping picked up the dead badger with one hand and called Erlang Shen and General Hei out.

Erlang Shen didn't seem to want to leave yet, so he shouted several more times into the forest.

Under Sheng Xiping's urging, he reluctantly followed Sheng Xiping out.

Sheng Xiping held the badger in his hand and led the two dogs out of the forest and back to the back land.

Wang Jianshe, Gao Haining and others hurriedly came forward and asked.

"Xiping, what's going on? Why did the dog suddenly run into the woods?"

"I should have been chasing this big guy, but I thought it was quite strange. When I arrived, this guy was already injured."

Sheng Xiping raised his hand to show everyone the badger in his hand.

"Let's go back and rest. It's best to have a fire or something to keep warm."

After all the trouble tonight, the badgers probably won't come again, so they can rest assured.

So, everyone came to the house near Hou Dadi, which was originally the warehouse of the agricultural team and was about to be converted into a collective household.

I found an empty room and brought some firewood in to light it.

In the light of the fire, Sheng Xiping carefully looked at the wound where he finally caught the badger.

The head of the badger's head was scratched by something unknown, and it was bloody and bloody. There were also bite marks on his back.

"Xiping, can you tell what hurt this badger? Is it your dog?"

Wang Jianshe and others came over and asked curiously.

"It's not my dog. Look, this badger's head is scratched by sharp claws. My dog ​​doesn't have this ability.

It looks like it should be a mountain raccoon, but with the mountain raccoon's fighting power, it doesn't have to be so strenuous. I'm a little confused. "

Sheng Xiping shook his head, with a puzzled look on his face.

When locals talk about mountain raccoons, most of them refer to lynx.

The lynx's diet is very varied, including pheasants, rabbits, and roe deer. If they are hungry, they may even dare to compete with wolves.

Badgers are also on the lynx's diet, and can be regarded as one of the few natural enemies of badgers.

But with the lynx's fighting power, it seems that it doesn't take much effort at all. It should be able to hold the badger down with one claw and crush the badger's spine with one bite.

So Sheng Xiping was quite puzzled. Was the badger he met a lynx?

"Ahem, never mind that. Anyway, we caught the badger tonight. We are better than those two groups, so that's fine."

Gao Haining and others didn't care at all whether it was a mountain raccoon or not. They only knew that they would gain a lot tonight, and that was enough.

Harvesting four badgers in one night was indeed a good result. After the battle at night, those badgers were basically scared away.

So Sheng Xiping and others rested peacefully in the empty room, with some hay spread on the ground and a fire in the middle.

The thatch and bark that originally covered the roof have been removed, and the smoke floats away directly without inhaling anyone.

With such a sheltered place and a fire, it wouldn't be too cold.

Everyone was leaning against the pillars or leaning against each other, just staring in confusion.

In the middle of the night, Sheng Xiping and the others took Erlang Shen out for a walk again, and sure enough, no trace of Badger was found.

So I came back to add some firewood and sleep peacefully.

After dawn, Sheng Xiping led everyone, following Gouzi, into the forest to look for Badger's cave.

If you want to completely cut off future troubles, the best thing is to get rid of the badger's lair.

In fact, the badger's traces are easy to find. Wherever it walks, the grass is lying down.

The badger's legs are short and the grass is overwhelmed by them.

Sheng Xiping had been studying with his master for six or seven years, so tracking a badger was no problem, so he took Wang Jianshe and others along the Badger Road to track him.

Where there is grass, look for grass, and where there is no grass, look for footprints.

After searching for five or six miles, I finally found Badger Cave on a hillside.

The entrance to the cave where the badger lives is very smooth. It wears it with its body as it keeps going in and out.

Moreover, the badger pours out soil every day, and sometimes a pile of soil is found not far from the entrance of the cave.

The badger's cave is underground, and there is more than one cave entrance. It extends in all directions, including bedrooms for resting, toilets for excretion, etc. It is like an underground castle.

It can be said that Badger is a very good architect.

Sheng Xiping led people to search on this hillside, and sure enough they found five or six exits.

Outside several of the exits, there will be very obvious footprints. The freshest footprints prove that there were badgers coming in and out last night.

"Xiping, what should we do? Use smoke?"

Everyone was very excited when they found the badger's cave, and they were eager to finish the nest of badgers in one go.

"Or follow the entrance of the hole and dig out the badger's nest directly?"

Judging from the holes in front of me, this is a large badger nest, and there are probably many badgers in it.

Most people use these two methods to catch badgers.

Find the entrance to the hole, block everything else, then light it with wormwood, stuff it into the hole, and use the smoke to smoke out the badgers.

Others were waiting at the entrance of the cave with various household items in their hands, and would kill badgers when they saw them coming out.

Another method is to wait until the badger is hibernating, then use tools such as a pickaxe and shovel to dig along the hole and completely open the badger's nest. This is also called digging out the badger.

But in fact, neither approach is perfect.

The smoke goes upwards and doesn't like to go down.

If it's winter, the air pressure is low and the smoke is less likely to rise. At this time, the smoke is mostly floating upward.

The badger nests are all underground and have hidden vents, so the badgers may not be smoked out.

As for picking badgers, that's even more troublesome.

The Badger Cave is so complicated that it twists and turns at the bottom. If you can't figure out the direction of the passage below, you have to dig up the entire hillside, which is a waste of time.

"Stop being stupid, I have other ideas. Look, what did I bring?"

Is Sheng Xiping the kind of person who uses his strength and stupidity? He had already planned that as long as he found the badger cave, he would definitely teach these badgers an unforgettable lesson.

While talking, Sheng Xiping took out something from his cross-body pocket.

"Let's use this to put these badgers on a plane."

Everyone looked at Sheng Xiping's hand and understood immediately.

"What a fool, two kicks, Brother Xiping, you are so cruel. This time, it's enough for those badgers to drink a pot."
