Yue Feng glanced at Xiao Tao beside him and replied, "It's easy to go into the mountains to hunt. We have vehicles and tents now. We can go anywhere we want within a hundred miles!
However, if you want to go deep into Changbai Mountain, that’s another story!

You saw with your own eyes how big the scene was the last time we went to Saint Lake.

Although other places are not high mountain areas, a lot of preparations must be made in advance for supplies, personnel, guides, etc. A round trip will take at least ten days and a half a month!"

The last incident at Holy Maiden Lake was the first time Xiao Tao followed the hunting team into the mountains.

Once you enter the mountains, there is indeed a clear difference from your usual activities around human settlements.

Speaking of Saint Maiden Lake, Xiao Tao thought of the guide Wu Keji who led the way last time: "I don't know if Mr. Wu in Tiecheng is busy these days.

It would be great if he was free. Uncle Wu would definitely know the way to the core area on the map!"

This really reminded Yue Feng.

If Uncle Wu is willing to take action in this matter, there will be a better chance of success.

Yue Feng nodded and said, "Don't worry, let's go back first. I'll go and ask Uncle Zhao and Chen Pao for their opinions.

Even if you want to go deep into the mountains, you have to prepare the wild game reserves for the restaurant at home in advance. Recently, the long-tailed pheasants caught last time have been almost consumed.

Just now in Director Du’s office on the second floor, he even asked me for a quota to use the back door! "

"Hehe, this is easy. Take a day, bring Big Black Eagle and Little White Spear, and go to the pheasant meadow to pick some. Pick up more for future use!"

"I'm going to go up the mountain first and ask my master. Do you want to come with me or go home and rest?"

"Let's go together! It's already this late, we definitely can't release the eagle today!"

After a brief discussion, Yue Feng and Xiao Tao rode a motorcycle tricycle, holding a rolled-up map of the three northeastern provinces, and went to the farm on the mountain.

At the farm, I briefly mentioned the situation to Zhao Dashan, but I didn't get any valuable information from the old man.

Although Zhao Dashan was a good shooter and hunter when he was young, he was just an ordinary hunter with a limited range of activities.

He had never been to the mountains, which were hundreds of miles away, so he couldn't provide much information about what was going on there.

The two brothers stayed on the mountain with the old man for less than two hours, then said goodbye and went down the mountain and went straight to Chen Pao's house.

After another round of questioning, it was found that Chen Zhenshan was in a similar situation to Uncle Zhao and was unable to provide any decent information.

After returning from Uncle Chen's house, the sky was gradually getting dark, and Yue Feng was a little hesitant at this moment.

At this moment, in Yue Feng's mind, there were two little men, one black and one white, fighting.

The white little man said that the mountain farm behind his home was not impressive enough. Now there are restaurants, breeding farms, and relatively fixed hunting grounds. He could just wander around the mountains near his home.

The black man's side has a more radical attitude.

The specimen purchase price of a wild boar king is one thousand yuan. What if there are more mutant creatures in the core area?
If you encounter rare mutant creatures such as the albino sable, their value is not as simple as selling the specimens and earning a bounty.

What's so good about fighting those ordinary wild boars, roe deer and the like? They are all the same and there is no challenge.

If you are a real man, you must dare to seize opportunities. There must be greater challenges waiting for you in the core area drawn on the map.

With this matter in mind, Yue Feng was somewhat absent-minded when he was having dinner at home that night.

After finishing their meal and cleaning the table, the youngest sister quietly entered Yue Feng's room.

"Brother, did you have a fight with sister-in-law? I saw that you were absent-minded when you were eating just now!"

Yue Feng felt warm at heart when he heard his sister's concern.

My parents didn't notice that I was worried, but my little sister could see it.

Yue Feng smiled and shook his head: "No way, what are you thinking! Your sister-in-law and I have a good relationship!"

"You're lying. My sister-in-law hasn't been to our house for many days! You don't usually eat like this!"

After Xiaomei said this, Yue Feng reacted instantly.

Indeed, because Ye Xiaojun and Master Jin were living at home during this period, the frequency of Yue Feng and Wang Xiaona's visits had decreased significantly.

"Oh, it's really nothing! Your sister-in-law came to our house during the day! If you don't believe me, go back and ask our mom!"

Jingjing heard the answer with doubt: "Really? I feel like there's something wrong with you!"

Yue Feng saw his sister's impish appearance and touched her head with his hand: "Let me ask you a question. Can you tell me what you think?"

"Second brother, you say!"

"Suppose there is a person who has a family and relatives, a relatively stable life, enough food and drink, and a good life.

Now, there is a chance. As long as we go to the deep mountains more than 300 kilometers away to find a secret, there is a certain possibility that we can make our lives better!

If this person were you, would you choose to give it a try or not? "

After saying this, Yue Feng looked at Jingjing expectantly, waiting for her answer.

But Jingjing just kept blinking her eyes and showed no intention of answering at all.

"Speak? I'm asking you!" After waiting for a few seconds, Yue Feng couldn't help but urge.

Jingjing curled her lips and answered philosophically: "Since you asked me this question, don't you already have the answer in your heart?"

Hearing what his youngest sister said, Yue Feng was slightly stunned and speechless for a moment.

This world is so magical.

Yue Feng has lived two lives as a human being, and his mental age is at least sixty or seventy years old, but he was shocked by Jingjing, a child who was only eight or nine years old. Talent is truly a magical thing.

"Okay, okay, I won't ask you any more questions! Go back to your room and go to sleep. I'll go to your sister-in-law's house to play with her!"

"Hehe, go ahead! I'm going back to my room to sleep!!"

After seeing Jingjing off, Yue Feng took a thick cotton jacket from the wall, put it on, walked out of the house with a flashlight, and went straight to Wang Xiaona's house.

It's just past seven in the evening, and it's getting dark. It's not time to go to bed yet, so it's not too late to go now.

I strolled to the home of the village chief, and sure enough, the lights in the house were still on.

Yue Feng shouted a few times at the door, and soon Wang Xiaona came out trotting around in her cotton-padded jacket.

"Are you asleep?"

Wang Xiaona hugged Yue Feng's right arm affectionately: "Hey, not yet! I just had a meal a while ago! How come you have time to come to me tonight? Have you dealt with Xiao Tao's matter?"

Yue Feng grinned and said, "Yeah, it was just a misunderstanding, just go and get it back!

Recently, Young Master Jin and Young Master Ye have been living in a new house, so they haven’t been coming to see you as often. Now that they are gone, I must be more diligent!

You haven't cheated him yet, so you have to flatter him more!"

"You're annoying! I'll ignore you if you tease me again!"

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore! Go inside first, it's freezing outside!"

Soon, the two entered Wang Xiaona's boudoir, closed the door, and started whispering.

After talking for a while, a furry little head popped out from the small pile of quilts beside the kang.

"Little Gray, come here!"

Wang Xiaona noticed her familiar sable pet and reached out to grab it and pet it like a cat.

Yue Feng knew that this was the little male mink that Wang Xiaona had raised. It had been a year since then, and the little guy had grown from a sub-adult to an adult male mink, and was obviously much more handsome.

"Last time, how are you doing with the two adult minks that looked very good that I sent to you?" Yue Feng asked with some emotion in his heart.

Wang Xiaona replied: "I have tried the method you suggested, but the performance of the two adult sables with gold and silver fur is far inferior to that of Little Gray!"

"It doesn't work?" Yue Feng scratched his head, a little frustrated.

Wang Xiaona said: "It's not like there's no progress at all!
In the first half month after they were delivered, I would put on gloves every day and play with them for a while.

Especially when feeding, they must be asked to eat from my hand! At first they were afraid, but later they found that I was not dangerous, and gradually accepted it!
Now when they hear their names being called, they will come out of their nests and wait obediently, but there is still a long way to go before they can be as obedient as Huihui!
Huihui, come here and roll over!!"

As she spoke, Wang Xiaona gave Huihui an order.

Huihui, who had been lying down obediently and having his fur stroked just a second ago, now rolled over on the kang very cleverly. He was so agile.

"So good! I'll give you peanuts!!"

Wang Xiaona took out a raw peanut from her pocket, and the little guy immediately came over to take it, holding the peanut kernel with his two nimble little paws and stuffing it into his mouth.

“My play with Huihui seems to have had some influence on those two adult top-grade sables!
They know I won't attack them, so they behave better than before!
But there is one strange thing that I don’t understand!”

"Huh? What's strange?" Yue Feng's curiosity was aroused.

"Every time Huihui played with me, the slightly smaller female mink would see me and like to dig into the cage. Even if I didn't call her, she would come out of her nest and stand by the cage!
The other male mink was not very friendly. Sometimes he would squeak, as if he was angry when he saw me playing with Huihui.

I have tried to tie a rope around them and let them out, but once they are out of the cage, their first reaction is to run away. They would rather be strangled and choked than take a step back and loosen the rope!"

Hearing this, Yue Feng was slightly stunned: "Damn, how long has this situation been happening? Why haven't I heard you mention it before!"

"I didn't take it seriously before, but now we are on to the point! What's going on?" Yue Feng grinned and said, "Is it possible that the female mink has taken a fancy to Huihui, and the male mink who was with it is jealous and hostile!"

"Isn't that right? Didn't you tell me that the sable is in heat from June to August? It's already October, how can it still be in heat?"

After listening to Yue Feng's explanation, Wang Xiaona looked incredulous.

“That’s the time in nature, but the sable is being kept indoors now. There’s always a fire burning in the house, and the temperature is much warmer than outside!

These two adult martens were captured at a very close distance, together with two half-grown cubs!
Now the half-grown cubs are raised separately from their parents. Without the influence of the cubs, it is possible that the female mink may have a delayed estrus response in the warm environment of the house!
Haven't you noticed that Xiaohui has been in your care for almost a year. He has bright fur and a very big body. In the eyes of sables, he is definitely a handsome guy!
The male mink made a warning cry, maybe he felt threatened! "

After Yue Feng said this, Wang Xiaona felt that it was indeed possible. After several similar situations, the reactions seemed to be consistent.

"It's possible. There will be another chance later. I'll observe and see!"

Yue Feng waved his hand: "Don't give me another chance! I'll give you a trick, try it!"

"Ok?"

"Take the gold and silver mink out of the cage and put little gray mink in the cage for a day or two!

If a female mink is really in heat, she will react, just like a female cat calling for sex, you can tell at a glance!"

“Um, don’t you want this original pair to reproduce?
Although Huihui is quite big, his appearance is just average! His genes are not as good as those of the golden and silver male mink!"

"Don't worry! I haven't finished yet!
Male minks have territories. If they find a male of the same species in their territory, they will definitely fight and drive him away. The hostile reaction you mentioned earlier should be a similar manifestation!
We artificially closed the cages to test and put some pressure on this big male mink.

If the female eagle can really be induced into estrus by Huihui's beauty trap, the female's estrus will also have a guiding effect on the male mink!
Then we can put the male mink back in the cage and let it estrus and complete the pairing and fertilization. It is theoretically possible! It is not too late now, and it is still early next spring!"

"Uh... I understand. Let Huihui be the initiator?"

"Yes! We should prepare for both situations. If Huihui can mate with a pair, that's fine too. The offspring must be kept for offspring. Whether it's homozygous or heterozygous, they are all valuable!"

"Then I'll give it a try later! How do you know so much? You even know how sables are paired and how to... endure that!"

The more Wang Xiaona spoke, the more embarrassed her tone became, and a blush rose on her face.

"Hehe, this is just the beginning. I know more! Young lady, if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, let me treat you!

I am nicknamed the gynecological expert by the people in the world, and I have been doing this for more than 20 years!"

“You’re annoying!!”

……

Yue Feng stayed at his wife's house until after nine o'clock in the evening, washed his feet, got on the kang, turned off the lights and went to bed quickly.

The next morning, Yue Feng woke up normally.

Xiao Tao and his two brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu had nothing to do, so they took the hawk up the mountain to release it. Yue Feng said hello to his parents, took out half a leopard carcass from the cellar, took two bottles of state-banquet Maotai liquor, rode his motorcycle and went straight to the city of Tiecheng.

What the youngest sister Jingjing said was actually quite right. When Yue Feng asked this question, he already had the answer in his heart.

This time, Yue Feng would give it a try regarding the suspected mutation core area, regardless of whether there was any possibility of successful exploration and gaining something.

So, Yue Feng brought some gifts and came to see Uncle Wu Keji.

With a three-wheeled vehicle for transportation, it took less than two hours to get from Mr. Wu's home to the downtown area of ​​Tiecheng.

Yue Feng parked his motorcycle in front of Wu Keji's house, then got off the motorcycle and knocked on the door and called for help politely.

"Is Uncle Wu home? I'm Yue Feng from Fengcheng!!"

After knocking a few times, Yue Feng heard the door of the main room in the north room open, so he stopped knocking and waited patiently for the door to open.

Soon, the courtyard gate opened, and Xiaohui, the young apprentice of Uncle Wu, whom Yue Feng had met last time, appeared in front of Yue Feng.

"Brother Xiaohui, is my uncle Wu at home?"

Xiaohui hadn't seen Yue Feng for more than two months, and his memory of him was a little fuzzy. But when he heard Yue Feng directly calling out his name with a somewhat recognizable voice, he immediately remembered who Yue Feng was.

There are not many people who can let Wu Keji slaughter sheep and provide meals at home, and even fewer young people.

Last time, Wu Keji asked Xiaohui to buy a live sheep and eat hand-pulled lamb at home. If this were to get out, many old-fashioned people would definitely be shocked.

"You are Xiaofeng from Fengcheng!!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I remember now? Is my uncle home?"

"I'm here, come in first!!"

Soon, Xiaohui led Yuefeng, carrying the wine and half a leopard carcass, into the yard and went straight to the main room in the north.

"Master, Xiaofeng is here to see you!" Xiaohui shouted.

Wu Keji packed up neatly and walked out of the house wearing a tight black jacket. Seeing Yue Feng carrying something into the house, he said with a smile, "What brings you here today, kid?"

"Hey, I just miss you! I went into the mountains a few days ago and got some good stuff. I'll send some to you!"

Yue Feng answered with a smile, handed the wine and the leopard to Xiaohui and asked him to put them away.

Wu Keji stretched out his hand to stop the leopard, stared at the claws on the leopard's hind legs, and waved his hand to signal his apprentice to take the things to the side room.

"Sure, you're quite a tall kid. You might run into a big leopard in the mountains!"

An old mountain runner is an old mountain runner. The younger generation of young guys can never match his vision.

After skinning, the half-carcass meat had no characteristics of a leopard at all, but the old man could accurately identify the breed and even the gender of the leopard just by taking a close look.

"Actually, I was lucky. I was camping in the mountains for the night and an eagle owl was disturbing me in the woods, so I went out for a walk.

The night owl was kicked by my eagle and fell to the ground and crawled into a tree hole. There was a leopard in the hole. The leopard ate the night owl and stood on the tree to compete with my eagle.

Later we arrived a little late and shot it to death from a distance of several dozen meters. It was not difficult to kill the leopard!

My master told me that soaking leopard bones in wine is good for the body! So I brought half of it with me! Master, please don’t think it’s too little!”

"You are filial! You are doing well, even Maotai for the state banquet! As for the last incident, did the people in Beijing thank us for their help?" Wu Keji said with a smile.

"It's all thanks to you! If you hadn't taken us to Saint Lake, we wouldn't have been able to do this job so well!"

"I've already taken the money, so don't mention it! You must have something to ask for this trip, right?"

"Well, I'm unsure about something. My master didn't know either, so I came here to ask you for advice!"

"What's going on? Tell me about it."

"It's like this, a few days ago we..."

Yue Feng told Wu Keji in detail how the wild boar king came down the mountain and injured people, and was then captured, as well as the Forestry Bureau's bounty for mutant animals and information on mutant animals in other areas.

Afraid that he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly, Yue Feng brought the map from home when he came, and explained all the locations and punctuation marks.

During Yue Feng's explanation, Wu Keji did not speak a word. After he finished speaking, the old man slowly touched his chin and pondered for a moment.

Five seconds later, Wu Keji clicked his tongue and said, "Interesting, this is quite interesting!!!"

Hearing what Uncle Wu said, Yue Feng's heart moved, thinking there might be a chance.

Yue Feng asked sincerely: "Have you ever been to the area I circled? Are there any special environments or other factors that may cause animal mutations?"

"This place shouldn't be far from Wangtian Mountain! Every year from the beginning of spring to the beginning of autumn, the gangs go into the mountains and stay there for a while!
As for the suspicious part, I thought about it when you said it just now, but I can't really say it for the moment!"

It’s okay to go to any suspicious place as long as you know the way.

Yue Feng nodded and continued to ask: "For this matter, this is all the information I have for now. Do you have any opinions or ideas? I would like to hear your advice!"

Wu Keji said slowly: "This mutant animal is active in the mountains all year round, so there is always a chance to encounter it!

A few years ago, when I was picking ginseng in the mountains, I saw a pure white deer with my own eyes!
But as you just said, from last year to this year, in just a short period of time, there have been at least seven or eight animals with obvious mutations. This is a problem!

One thing you have to know is that the cases that can be collected by the Forestry Bureau are only a minority.

For larger animals like roe deer and wild deer, most of the time ordinary hunters don’t have smooth information channels and don’t understand their value, so they must consume them internally or sell the meat in the market for money!
In addition, this is not a variation of a single species, but covers different breeds from wild boars, roe deer, to lynx, blind bears, etc.!

This also rules out the possibility that a mutant mother reproduces and produces a large number of mutant offspring!
My personal guess is that there is a high probability that some kind of environment or small terrain has undergone unknown changes, and then the animals here have been affected, causing this mutation!
As for what can achieve this effect, I don’t know. I don’t have enough knowledge to understand the reason behind it!”

Uncle Wu's guess and Yue Feng's judgment are generally consistent.

As a modern person, Yue Feng has experienced the era of information explosion.

I have learned about information such as nuclear power plant crises or meteorite radiation that can cause animal mutations through computers and mobile phones.

"What's the terrain like on the Wangtian Mountain you mentioned? If a young hunting team like us were to go into the mountain, would there be anything we should be careful of? It would be best if there were existing roads or something that we could use!
I am quite interested in these mutant animals. The eagle and albino sable at home are all mutant animals. If I could catch them alive and raise them in a farm, I could make a lot of money!"

Yue Feng did not hide anything and directly asked Uncle Wu about the route into the mountain.

There's no need to be hypocritical when dealing with an old senior like this.

People can tell what you are planning just by a change in your eyes, so it is better to say whatever you want to say openly and attract people's attention.

"If you want to go to Wangtian Mountain, there aren't many ready-made roads. The closest place to the mountain is from the village at the foot of the mountain in Chuncheng. That place is less than 200 kilometers away from the location on the map!

But going from Fengcheng or Tiecheng to Chuncheng requires a detour, which is not very meaningful considering the supplies and equipment! " (End of this chapter)
