Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

Soon, the kitchen at Yue Feng's uncle's house became busy.

The three main people were my aunt, my second aunt, and Yue Feng's mother, and my grandmother was responsible for making the fire. The four women prepared dinner for the men in the family.

This dinner is both a celebration dinner and a party to entertain friends.

This is a serious matter concerning my nephew's catching of a sable, and the family takes it very seriously.

Even though my second uncle spent a lot of money on Li Laowai's matter, the material reserves at home of my first and second uncles are much better than when I came last year.

With the preparation of several "cooks", a very impressive feast was served at the table in the evening.

There was a big pot of roe deer meat, with half a roe deer cooked. The large pieces of meat alone were scooped out into a large bowl and served on the table.

There are also wild boar ribs stewed with sauerkraut, chicken stewed with hazel mushrooms, scrambled eggs with chopped green onions, fried peanuts, braised hairtail, and clear dragon soup.

There are six dishes and one soup, all of which are the hardest of the hardest.

Not to mention entertaining guests, this table is enough even if Yue Feng asked his wife to use it to entertain guests.

Uncle Wang went home and brought back two bottles of old wine, and grandpa also took out the good wine he had saved.

In addition, Yue Feng also specifically reminded his uncle to go to the village office and invite Secretary Li Wenzhong to his home.

Yue Feng’s idea was very simple. Secretary Li did nothing wrong in upholding justice yesterday.

Now we are having a celebration banquet at home, the food has been prepared, and it wouldn’t hurt to have an extra pair of chopsticks.

My eldest and second uncles are not the type who like to curry favor with others, but if you want to get along well in the village, you still have to have necessary social interactions.

Inviting Secretary Li to the celebration party for catching the big guy can at least show the attitude of the Meng family and show some goodwill.

When something happens next time, it will be easier to get things done if we have a good relationship.

After all this negotiation, dinner that night was ready.

My eldest uncle, my second uncle, my grandpa, Yue Feng, Uncle Wang, Secretary Li, and the three brothers Xiao Tao, Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu.

There were nine gentlemen alone.

There is definitely not enough space for everyone to sit at the kang table, but that is not a problem for my second uncle either.

He asked his second aunt to go home and bring over the large standing table at home.

Unfold the table by its side, and then unfold the four circular sides completely, and it will become a large round table.

The men got off the kang and sat at the round table to eat and drink, while the women got on the kang and set up another table on the kang table.

In the Northeast, there is no custom that women cannot sit at the table. At most, there is one table for drinking and another for not drinking. And the status of women is no lower than that of men.

After the table was arranged, the dinner began at the suggestion of my uncle.

Except for Brother Yue Feng and a few others, the others were all from the same village. They knew each other well and had a lot to talk about, and soon the atmosphere became lively.

As the village secretary, Li Wenzhong's family lives a much better life than ordinary villagers. However, when faced with the table prepared by the Meng family, he couldn't help but sigh that they were all main dishes.

They ate meat, drank wine, and joked around, and before they knew it, each of them had finished half a pound of wine.

With the addition of alcohol, the topic became easier to start, and Yue Feng took the opportunity to ask Li Laowai about what happened next.

"Secretary Li, there will be no risks in the matter between my second uncle and Li Laowai, right?" Yue Feng asked in a deep voice.

Li Wenzhong took a piece of knife fish with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth: "He is obviously wrong in this matter. We have done our best. What risks can there be?
If you want to sue, just sue. Who do you think is willing to take over this mess?

You don't know, this was instigated by Li Laogudong behind the scenes! He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to extort money and squeeze oil!"

"Mr. Li Gudong?" Yue Feng was unfamiliar with the name and turned to look at his second uncle.

The second uncle said: "Li Laowai's cousin likes to stir up trouble behind the scenes!

Now it all makes sense, it was him, he was still hanging around outside our house in the evening!"

Yue Feng frowned when he heard this: "If he wants to show off, we will punish him! We are in the right, Secretary Li, Uncle Wang, don't you think so?"

Li Wenzhong laughed: "Haha, we are all in the same village, we still need to be united! Try not to fight and kill each other at every turn.

However, if it is really too much, there is no need to indulge it! If you dare to cause trouble, don't be afraid of being beaten! "

"Yes, what Secretary Li said is correct! Come, let's have a drink!"

Soon, the wine glasses were raised, and everyone took a sip of the white wine. They picked up their chopsticks again and continued to eat the meat.

……

The dinner started serving at around 6:00 in the evening and ended at around 8:30.

Li Wenzhong was forced to drink one cup after another by Yue Feng, so his second uncle personally sent him home. Uncle Wang had an incredible alcohol tolerance and drank at least half a kilogram, but he was still fine.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to eat and drink, Yue Feng asked Uncle Wang a lot of questions about Centipede Ridge. The old man also told Yue Feng everything he knew, including some of the dangers inside, the locations of several larger pits, etc.

……

By the time we picked up the table and everyone lay down, it was almost half past nine.

I greeted my aunt in advance and I have to get up early tomorrow morning to go up the mountain.

The brothers took turns burning their feet and went to sleep on the kang while drunk.

That night, Yue Feng slept very soundly. When he woke up, the effects of the alcohol were completely gone and he felt refreshed.

I get up early and take a walk in the yard, then feed the dog and the eagle. Breakfast is also ready in the outer room.

Tomato and salty dumpling soup with beaten eggs, and the roe deer meat that was not finished last night.

The dry food was steamed buns made of pure white flour, served with some steamed pickles made with meat oil by my grandma. It tasted simply delicious.

The brothers got up early, washed their faces, and then sat around a table to eat breakfast. After breakfast, they took their equipment for going into the mountains and continued their journey.

Yesterday when we entered the mountains, our destination was Blind Camel Mountain. Today the destination was different. After a brief communication between Yue Feng and his second uncle, they decided to bypass the Blind Camel Mountain area and head straight for Centipede Ridge.

With my second uncle, a local mountain man, leading the way, the group traveled very smoothly and almost without any detours, and finally arrived at the outer southern area of ​​Centipede Ridge.

Second Uncle took Yue Feng to the nearest ridge, pointed to the area far below and said, "This is Centipede Ridge!
Look, it’s winter now, and there’s still white smoke coming out of the canyon in the morning!”

Yue Feng looked in the direction of the command, and sure enough, there was white mist so early in the morning.

This alone is enough to confirm that there is definitely some warm spring underneath.

Otherwise, how could there be white fog in the mountains when the temperature is minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius in winter?

Yue Feng: "Let's go! Listen to Uncle Wang, let's go to the east bank, the slope is gentler here, it's easier to walk!"

"go!"

After everyone greeted each other, they went down the mountain ridge, climbed over a low ridge and arrived at the southernmost outer circle area of ​​Centipede Ridge.

"Whoever doesn't have a stick yet, cut down the sticks. Everyone be careful and don't run around!!"

Yue Feng greeted them and walked in front, leading Canglong.

After walking along the gentle slope on the east side for about a few hundred meters, Yue Feng didn't feel anything different.

Standing on the ridge, you can still see a faint white mist. When you get halfway down the gentle slope, the mist is no longer visible.

Along the way, Yue Feng kept looking down at the traces on the snow crust. There were quite a few traces of various small animals such as mice, weasels, pheasants, and hares.

But there was no trace of sable. Xiao Tao was holding a nearly two-meter-long ash stick in his hand. Halfway through the walk, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Feng, why didn't I see any trace of sable? Is it because Uncle Wang hasn't been to the mountain for a long time and doesn't know much about the place?"

Yue Feng shook his head: "It shouldn't be, my second uncle knows that no one is coming here, so there must be a lot of sables.

No matter how expensive this thing is, it is not as valuable as life! Second uncle, don’t you think so? "

Second uncle grinned, put his hands on the pergola and looked around: "We have just reached the border of Centipede Ridge, we still have to walk a little further!

Look at the footprints around here. There are no shortage of small animals here, and there are certainly no shortage of sables for food!"

"Yes, let's keep going! Let's go to the core area! Follow closely!"

Yue Feng greeted him and continued walking forward with the dog.

This walk is two miles.

As the personnel went deeper, they found that the topography had indeed changed significantly.

The temperature here is obviously much higher than other areas. Even the snow shell makes a muffled sound when you step on it. It is obvious that the texture is not as crispy as that in other places.

The footprints on the ground gradually increased, and Yue Feng soon found a sable footprint.

This footprint moved outward from the bottom of the ditch, passed not far in front of Yue Feng, made a small circle, and returned to the bottom.

Originally, he thought that the sables were all hiding in a cave on the sunny side of the slope, but after observing the footprints, Yue Feng found something wrong.

There are sinkholes under the Centipede Ridge, but not everywhere.

Sables are light, so there is no need to consider any risks, but this is not the case with humans.

Realizing this, Yue Feng immediately took out the sable's claw skin and loosened Canglong's chain.

"Canglong, Dahuang, sniff!"

Canglong's sense of smell is stronger than Dahuang's. After sniffing for a short while, it immediately started searching by wagging its tail.

Dahuang was not willing to be left behind and soon lowered his head to search.

"Everyone, don't move. Let the dog search it first!"

The two dogs started to work, circling around.

Yue Feng focused most of his attention on the traces of the snow shell, fearing that the dog would miss a step and fall again.

Through actual combat, we found that even if the dog stepped on a slightly thinner area, there was no risk of getting stuck, and the ice shell was slightly stronger than expected.

The two dogs circled around forty or fifty meters, and soon Canglong found a suspicious source of the smell.

Wang Wang Wang!
Canglong yelled a few times towards the bottom of the ditch, then began to dig the snow with his front paws.

"Damn, there's a hole underneath, brother, what should we do?" Xiao Tao turned to look at Yue Feng, holding a firecracker in his hand.

Before coming, Yue Feng had confirmed several times that no one was allowed to go down to the bottom of the pond.

No one knows what's going on under the snow. Just because the dog is fine doesn't mean the people are fine.

Yue Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't panic, let the dog dig deeper first! At worst, we can just throw firecrackers into the hole and not let anyone get down!

Canglong, keep digging, dig deeper!"

Woof woof woof! Canglong responded a few times, and obviously increased the frequency of digging holes.

"It's less than ten meters away, that's fine, I should be able to throw it in!"

Xiao Tao responded, bent down, grabbed a snowball, and threw it tentatively.

After about ten minutes, Canglong dug a shallow pit of more than 30 centimeters in the snow shell below, and a dark hole could be vaguely seen below.

"Xiao Tao, try yours!"

"Okay, watch me hit the target every time!"

Xiao Tao took two modified firecrackers, covered the outside with snow foam to increase the weight, asked Xiaowen to light them, and then threw them into the cave.

One shot hits the target.

Bang!
Soon, yellow smoke from exploding firecrackers rose from the hole in the ground and a snow shell less than ten meters away.

Seeing this scene, Yue Feng knew there was a way.

It seems to be similar to the one we found last year at the bottom of the pond in the Xiatuozi ravine, both are caves under the snow.

Less than three seconds after the explosion, a few squeaking sounds were heard, and a large male sable jumped out.

Wang Wang Wang!
When Canglong saw his prey, he immediately shouted and chased after it.

Yue Feng whistled decisively.

Whoosh!!! Puff!
The big black eagle had been circling in the sky for a long time. When it saw its master giving the signal, it swooped down decisively and used its wings like a spinning top to hit the running sable.

The sable was instantly confused.

"Canglong, you have to live!" Yue Feng reminded again.

The Canglong, which was about to lower its head to bite the sable a second ago, immediately picked up the sable in one bite and walked back happily.

"Hey, that's not hard! Got it!"

My second uncle chuckled, and when he saw the dog catch the sable, he immediately grinned.

Soon, Canglong returned to Yue Feng with the prey in its mouth.

This guy was so excited that his tail was shaking like an electric fan.

Yue Feng reached out and grabbed the back of Zishen's neck: "Let go!"

Gou Zi loosened his mouth, and the big eagle fell into Yue Feng's hands.

The beard and tail are intact, the fur is beautiful, and it is definitely a first-class big male skin.

At this time, the big black eagle folded its wings and landed at Yue Feng's feet.

"Quack quack!"

Well, this guy is trying to take credit.

"Good, good, good, the big black eagle is awesome, it can confuse the sable with just one wing!"

Yue Feng immediately flattered him, and the arrogant black eagle shook off its feathers, kicked its claws hard in the snow, took off again, and soon circled overhead with the little white spear.

A large male mink can bring in several hundred dollars, which is much better than hunting wild boars which is tiring and worthless.

"Take it back alive first and put it in the bag!" Yue Feng stuffed the sable into the bag and asked the dog to continue searching again.

"Hey, Brother Feng, it looks like there's nothing going on here! It's pretty much the same route as last year, and it saves a lot of effort!"

Xiaowen said with a smile, holding the wooden stick with both hands.

"Keep looking. No one's coming here, so the density should be high! Let's go and try to catch as many as possible!"

The first sable was easily obtained, which made everyone feel a little relieved, but the second one soon scared everyone into a cold sweat. (End of this chapter)
