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

Chapter 634 Chinese New Year
"Yes, the black mutant tiger! Didn't you hear Xiaofeng talk about it?" Uncle Wu responded in an affirmative tone.

Zhao Dashan: "Xiaofeng mentioned it last time. He said that in a secret underground research institute in the mountain, he had an encounter with this big claw. The soldier who was traveling with him was injured, and it finally escaped through the leaking damage!"

"Yes, it's that Black Tiger! We got information from the captured Russian prisoners that the Black Tiger attacked a team that came to deliver supplies to our side, and ambushed and dragged away two team members in the middle of the night!
The rest of the people realized how powerful it was, and then they fled back to report to the headquarters!
This mutant black tiger has a very high bounty on the international market, reportedly hundreds of thousands of US dollars, so Black Fang and his team organized two more teams to come here just to hunt it!"

Uncle Zhao was very excited and continued to ask: "So, have they found it? Have they found any traces of the black tiger? If we gather people and kill the black tiger quietly, that would be awesome!"

"It's not that simple! A week had passed since we came back and forth, and the last traces of the black tiger had been worn away by the mountain wind and were no longer discernible.

The hunting team used snowmobiles to search for at least 100 to 200 kilometers, but they didn't find any trace of the tiger. I guess it must have hidden in some deep forest!"

"Alright! Tigers have become increasingly rare in recent years. They are already rare enough, and this black mountain king is even rarer! If you want to catch it, you not only need skills, but also luck. If you don't have the luck, you probably won't even have the chance to see it!"

"I won't argue with you if you say that!"

……

The two old brothers lay on the warm kang and chatted for a long time. When the radio went out, they felt sleepy and Wu Keji fell asleep first.

Zhao Dashan, who was standing next to him, tucked in the quilt for his old brother and soon fell asleep.

In the next few days, Yue Feng went up the mountain almost every day.

Old hen soup, eggs, flying dragon birds, sand chickens, and a few long-tailed pheasants stored in the hotel were all sent to the mountain by Yue Feng.

Uncle Zhao took care of his injured old brother with absolute dedication. He prepared chicken soup, Feilong soup, sand chicken stewed with yam, and other foods that could increase nutrition and aid recovery from injuries for Wu Keji in various ways.

In addition to putting a lot of effort into his food, he also has to be given two bottles of anti-inflammatory water every day.

The medicine that Yue Feng obtained from the garrison was of very high quality. Wu Keji had a slight fever the second day after arriving at the mountain. He was given an anti-inflammatory drip, and his temperature returned to normal by the evening.

Before I knew it, the last few days before the New Year had passed.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Yue Feng brought the families of several of his hunting team members, as well as two old men from the mountain, to his new house.

There were dozens of people, with the men at one table and the women and children at another, celebrating the New Year together in a lively manner.

There are all kinds of meat and side dishes on the dinner table, which is fundamentally different from the New Year's Eve dinner of ordinary villagers in the village. In just less than two years, the living conditions of Yue Feng's family have undergone earth-shaking changes.

We started getting ready at around 7pm, eating and drinking until midnight to celebrate the New Year.

When the time came, a group of people went to the yard and lit the firecrackers that they had prepared in advance.

The bright red firecrackers exploded, leaving a piece of red paper on the ground, marking another lively, happy and peaceful New Year!
This year has been a year of rapid development for Yue Feng's career, and also a year of rapid progress for the hunting team members.

Yue Feng's family built a new house, got married, and opened a restaurant.

At the same time, the breeding farms on the mountain have gradually stabilized the situation from their initial establishment and have established a certain basic foundation.

In terms of personal connections, he has made great progress. Just by going to the Holy Maiden Lake to find the Moon-gazing Frog to treat Brother Hu's son, Yue Feng gained the recognition of the old man of the Wang family.

He successfully got on the bandwagon and also met the second generation with strong connections like Jin Long and Ye Xiaojun.

In addition, the relationship with Brother Jianjun has also greatly improved. He provided technical support for the airport's bird-repelling work and also obtained priceless and rare Dongzhu.

In addition, after successfully killing the Wild Boar King, the hunting team became famous throughout the surrounding area within a hundred miles.

After New Year’s Eve, the year came to 1982.

Yue Feng, who has lived two lives, knows that 82 was a very special year. The country began to gradually relax restrictions on the economic situation in rural areas of the three northeastern provinces, and the individual economy received more support at the policy level.

It is almost certain that the second batch of business licenses for individual businesses will begin to be issued this year, and there will be many relaxations at the policy level, such as in other countries.

Facing these opportunities of the times, Yue Feng always maintains a trend-setting mentality in his heart and welcomes new challenges!

Starting from the first day of the New Year, Yue Feng began to visit people to wish them a happy new year.

This year's New Year's Day was much more lively at the Yue family's place than in previous years.

Yue Feng held a top-notch wedding in the village, allowing the old households in Xing'an Village to see the Yue family's connections and background. The status of old man Yue Lei and mother Meng Yulan in the village has seen a breakthrough improvement.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, as soon as it got light, people came to the house one after another to pay New Year's greetings. Almost all of them came, including familiar people, strangers, and even villagers who had hardly any contact with the family before.

Until almost noon, people were still coming to visit.

Yue Lei and Meng Yulan are kind and hospitable people. During the Chinese New Year, Yue Feng prepared plenty of dried fruits, roasted nuts, candied fruits, candies, snacks, etc. for the family. When people came to the house, he didn't feel sorry for letting them eat. Especially when children came to the house to pay New Year's greetings, he had to give them a handful of candies.

The next few days were spent almost entirely eating and drinking.

After a busy year, the first month of the lunar year is a time for fun, playing cards, and chatting in groups. Now you can even go to Yue Feng’s new home to watch TV. The lifestyle of ordinary villagers in the rural area has begun to show signs of change.

Before we knew it, the sixth day of the New Year had passed.

In this part of the city, restaurants have started opening.

Yue Feng gave the hotel employees red envelopes early in the morning. After everyone simply cleaned up and tidied themselves up, they set off firecrackers to celebrate the opening. The hotel then began to host business receptions in a lively manner.

Over at the restaurant, the eldest brother and his wife are in charge, and both the accounts and daily operations are in order and clear. There is no need for Yue Feng, the hands-off boss, to worry too much. He only needs to regularly send over the game caught by the falconry team.

Just like that, half a month passed by unknowingly.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, for many people, the Chinese New Year is over.

Yue Feng took his friends for a stroll in the mountains and caught some game to replenish the supplies for the restaurant.

One day, Wang Xiaona came home from riding a motorcycle, covered her mouth and came out of the house, squatting under the eaves and retching.

"What's going on, Xiaona?" Yue Feng's face changed when he saw his wife vomiting, and he immediately became nervous.

"I don't know either. In the past few days, I've felt like vomiting whenever I smell meat! Ugh~~"

Hearing this, Yue Feng was delighted.

"Did your period come this month?"

"Nope!"

“Fuck, could she be pregnant?” Yue Feng’s heart moved.

Hearing this, Wang Xiaona was slightly stunned and then looked happy.

"It seems possible! How about we go check it out?"

"Okay, after lunch, I'll take you into the city to check it out!"

From the time they got married on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month until the Chinese New Year, Yue Feng had a lot of trouble with his wife.

The two were young, in good physical condition, addicted, inexperienced and playful, so pregnancy was not difficult for them. That afternoon, Yue Feng took Wang Xiaona, who was wrapped tightly, to the Municipal People's Hospital.

I went to the hospital and saw the doctor and did a systematic check, and it turned out that I was pregnant!

The moment he confirmed that his wife was pregnant, Yue Feng felt that his mentality seemed to have subtly changed from before.

How to describe it? In my wife's belly, there is a new life, my own blood, and inheritance. Even if I just think about it casually, it is a very wonderful experience.

After confirming that his wife was pregnant, Yue Feng drove the motorcycle very gently when he returned home. Even when he was carrying the injured Mr. Wu, he was not so gentle.

When he returned home, Yue Feng immediately reported the good news to his parents and his father-in-law.

For a moment, Yue Feng's family was in high spirits, and his mother and mother-in-law immediately reached a consensus.

When my wife (daughter) becomes pregnant, she will not be allowed to do any housework from now on. She will just be fed and served with good food and drink, and will be able to rest and take care of the baby.

In such an atmosphere, Yue Feng spent the first month after the beginning of the year.

As time went by, the extremely cold temperatures in the mountains slowly began to rise.

After February, Yue Feng and his hunting team members started to enter the back mountain forest again.

The main purpose of going into the mountains during this period is not to hunt wild animals on the mountains, but to capture alive various mother animals with cubs.

That day, Yue Feng took all four wolf cubs with him, drove a snowmobile, two three-wheeled motorcycles, and took two falcons into the mountains.

The destination this time was not very clear, and we searched indiscriminately around the range of Chaiji Road in the forest farm with the help of convenient transportation.

This snowmobile is very convenient for moving around in the mountains. Even in areas where there are no firewood roads, as long as the forest is not too dense, you can basically drive a snowmobile along the mountain ridges.

During the New Year period, the two falcons and four dogs were very bored, so they had a great time after entering the forest.

"Brother, where should we go first?" Xiaowen had gained a lot of weight during the New Year, and his face had become rounder. He sat in the driver's seat of the motorcycle and asked with concern.

Yue Feng took a quick look and said, "Let's go to the area near Forest Area 22 first. That's the selective felling area. There should be roe deer or sika deer activities there!"

"Okay! Let's go!!" Xiaowen stepped on the accelerator and the car drove out quickly.

Four people, four dogs, and three cars shuttled through the mountains and forests of Chaiji Road and reached their destination in less than fifteen minutes.

They parked the vehicle on the side of the road, let the dogs run, and Canglong and his three little brothers immediately started sniffing around in search.

Yue Feng whistled at the big black eagle in the sky, and the black and white evil spirits that had been following him in the sky folded their wings and landed on his arm.

Quack, quack, quack!

The big black eagle has also gained a lot of weight, and it sings towards its owner very affectionately.

"You two will help me catch some live ones later! Do you understand?"

Yue Feng gently stroked his beloved falcon and muttered to himself.

"Ga gaga gaga gaga!" The big black eagle spread its wings and flapped a few times, squeezing the little white spear so that it had no place to stand, and it had to take off again.

"Okay, let's fly! Let's go!"

Yue Feng raised his arm slightly, and the big black eagle took advantage of the momentum to take off and soar into the sky.

There were many traces of human footprints around the No. 22 logging area. Yue Feng judged that there must be some mountain hunters setting traps here.

Sure enough, the dogs had been wandering around for less than 500 meters when they heard the howling of the smallest wolf.

"Oh no, the dog seems to be caught in a harness!" Yue Feng muttered, and ran towards the direction of the barking dog with his gun on his back.

When we arrived at the location, as expected, Tan Lang was lying in a snow cave, waiting obediently.

"Fuck, it's really trapped! Luckily the dog is smart and doesn't struggle!" Yue Feng muttered and walked quickly to the front.

This is a slipknot made of oil silk rope. There is a locking structure at the fork of the slipknot. The more you struggle, the tighter it gets. Unless the prey has flexible fingers like humans, it is difficult to loosen it.

Yue Feng squatted down to untie the wire snare for the dog, touched the dog's head, and checked the injuries on its body.

It's okay, just a shallow mark, no external injury.

"Brother, this is a trap array, with quite a few traps!!" Xiaowen, who had been observing the surroundings, couldn't help but remind him.

Yue Feng stood up: "Let me take a look!"

Looking around, I found that there were indeed quite a few wire rope noose hidden in the low secondary forest bushes.

The person who set the traps must be a novice. The traps were arranged very roughly. The brand new wire rope noose was not treated with the gray and black coating. The metal's inherent brightness and smell made it easy for wild animals such as roe deer and wild boars to find it.

There are quite a few wire rope buckles, but there is no pattern, so only the dogs running around in the woods can be caught in them.

"This area is full of traps. Let's go somewhere else. There are no prey footprints on the ground. There shouldn't be any roe deer or other animals coming here recently!"

"Let's go and change places!"

Having made up his mind, Yue Feng led everyone to change direction and continue their exploration.

After crossing a ridge, the mountain in front of us suddenly became much flatter. A large number of old trees were cut down, leaving only new branches and buds that had grown for one or two years.

Unconsciously, they arrived at the area adjacent to the No. 21 logging area. Yue Feng saw low young branches everywhere and many of them had signs of being eaten. He knew that there was a high probability that roe deer or deer were active in this area.

In winter, mountain animals have less food to eat. The dry leaves under the snow are difficult to eat, so they can only eat young branches, buds, or bark.

These newly drilled buds from the entire felled area are a favorite of deer.

Sure enough, after letting the dogs run around for a while, the lead dog, Canglong, started to bark.

Wang Wang Wang!
Canglong's deep voice echoed far away in the woods. The other dogs heard the noise and responded immediately, gathering around the lead dog.

"The blue dragon has spoken! It must have discovered the trace of prey, chase it!"

Yue Feng called out and quickly chased after him.

At the same time, the two eagles in the sky immediately lowered their altitude after hearing the cry of the little dog.

In the woods, several nimble sika deer have begun to run at full speed, leaping two or three meters with each graceful leap.

The dog gang was at least one mile away from the sika deer.

The big black eagle and the little white eagle cackled a few times in the sky, folded their wings, and headed straight for the herd of deer.
