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

Chapter 642 Reminder
"It is indeed convenient to dig pits by burning them, but there is a problem. Tigers have a very keen sense of smell. When it comes time to finish digging the pits where the fire has been set, we have to find a way to cover up the smell!" Yue Feng said truthfully.

“You are right about that, we have already considered this in advance!

It’s not hard to cover up the smell, just put some charcoal underneath and the smell will be almost gone in a day or two! ”

Yue Feng nodded: "The method you mentioned is also feasible!
I would also like to ask, have we ever drawn mountain topographic maps here?
We just arrived today and are not familiar with the terrain and mountains here. If we want to catch tigers, we must at least understand the terrain first!"

"Topographic map of the mountain? We, the old bosses, did draw a copy, but we can't give it to you. We have meetings every now and then to arrange the next day's work, and we need this topographic map!"

Wang Yansheng did not deny it, but he did not agree readily either. His attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Well, I don't want your pictures. How about you lend them to me for one night and return them tomorrow?" Yue Feng negotiated.

Having said that, Wang Yansheng couldn't refuse anymore and nodded: "Okay, the topographic map is in the house, come with me to get it!"

Soon, Yue Feng followed him into the room and saw a hand-drawn map on a calendar paper hanging on the wall of the conference room.

Yue Feng took a quick look at it. The map was neatly drawn, with simple place names and topography. The tracks of the tiger's activities were marked with arrows.

Through the information on the map, Yue Feng had a preliminary understanding of the tiger's movement trajectory and activity range in the past few days.

"Lend me this map for one night and I'll return it tomorrow morning. Is that ok, Boss Wang?"

"No problem. There's no regular meeting tonight. I can come back tomorrow without any delay!"

"Then I'll take it!"

"I'll pick it for you. This calendar paper is a bit brittle. You have to roll it up, not fold it!"

"No problem, I'll definitely pay attention!"

Yue Feng took off the calendar map and carefully rolled it into a paper tube.

"Boss Xiao Yue, I'm sorry to ask you, who is your master in Fengcheng? You don't look too old, how many years have you been in the mountains?" Wang Yansheng asked curiously.

Hearing this, Yue Feng grinned.

This needs to be discussed in detail.

"My master is Zhao Dashan, and there is another uncle named Wu Keji! My family is from Lianhua Township, Fengcheng! I have only been in the mountains for a few years, and I have only been leading the team for two years!"

Wang Yansheng was not very familiar with the name Zhao Dashan, but when the three words Wu Keji were mentioned, Wang Yansheng's eyes widened immediately.

"Wu Keji, is that the Wu Keji from Songyuan Ginseng Gang?"

"Hey, my uncle is indeed the one who leads people to trade wild ginseng! How come, Wang Baotou knows my uncle?"

Yue Feng mentioned the name just to highlight his own background, so he naturally wouldn't deny it outright.

"We've met a few times! Where is Shopkeeper Wu going to make his fortune now? Is he still in Fengcheng?"

"Haha, Wang Baotou, you are joking. My uncle's base camp is in Tiecheng. Fengcheng is not his activity area!"

Yue Feng reacted quickly and pointed out the common sense that the other party had deliberately confused.

This was just a test, but Yue Feng didn't expect that he was not lying. Wu Keji is still staying at Yue Feng's own breeding farm on the mountain.

"Oh, hahaha, I mixed it up. My head is a little fuzzy now that I'm old!"

Wang Yansheng laughed, Yue Feng had passed this level.

"Anything else? No, I'm going back with the map. The road is not easy to walk on after dark!"

"Okay, if there's anything else, we can talk later! Remember to bring the map back after you've finished looking at it!"

"no problem!"

……

Yue Feng took out the map, said hello, and rode his bikes to the guesthouse in the city with his companions.

After the three Yue Feng brothers left, Qian Xuegang, who was there during the day, brought a few people into the village meeting room.

"Brother Wang, I heard from the people below that Leader Xiao Yue just borrowed our map?" Qian Xuegang went straight to the point.

"Yes, I lent it to him. He'll read it tonight and return it tomorrow! Although this little Yue is not very old, he has a very strong background!"

"He has a strong background. Is he the son of some leader?"

"Maybe the leader's son doesn't know, but his uncle is Wu Keji. I just deliberately said the wrong thing, and he casually pointed out the mistake. Judging from his reaction and attitude, he shouldn't be using the tiger's skin to pull the banner!"

"Who? The nephew of the living devil Wu Keji?" Qian Xuegang was also very surprised when he heard the name Wu Keji.

"Regardless of whether it's true or not, being able to get the Forestry Bureau's leaders to invite you here politely is a skill in itself! In the next few days, you should warn your subordinates to be polite when dealing with Xiao Yue and his gang!"

"Yeah, I understand!"

……

On the other side, Yue Feng and his two brothers rode their motorcycles and rushed back to the city guesthouse before it became completely dark.

Hearing the noise of the motorcycle, Xiao Tao, who was watching the house at home, hurriedly pushed the door open to greet it.

There is only him, a few dogs and a bear at home. He has to guard the house alone and cannot go anywhere, which makes the children feel suffocated.

"Brother Feng, why did you come back just now? How was your trip into the mountains today? Did you find anything?" Xiao Tao came up and asked.

Yue Feng handed the rolled-up calendar map to Xiao Tao: "Walk around the mountain and take a look at the tiger's tracks! This is a borrowed map, study it later!"

While he was speaking, Yue Feng blew a whistle towards the sky, and the big black eagle and little white quickly landed.

During the day today, the two eagles only landed on the treetops for a short rest of less than an hour at noon when Yue Feng and other people on the mountain were having lunch. For the rest of the time, they circled in the sky and followed.

It is probably unique that an eagle can be trained to this level, and it can be said to have an extremely long standby time.

Yue Feng held two hawks, pushed open the door and walked into the house. Several dogs also came up to him affectionately.

Yue Feng interacted with the dog Meiqiu at home one by one, and then took the raw beef that he had not finished eating in the morning and soaked it in warm water from the windowsill.

The eagle was hungry, so it squatted on Yue Feng's arm, and kept biting its own feet with its head down.

"Have you had dinner?" Xiao Tao asked again.

"Not yet! The restaurant should have dinner, right? Could you bring back a few meals? We've been riding our bikes, and our arms and legs are so frozen!" Yue Feng said, touching the eagle's tail feathers.

"Okay, you guys stay warm first, I'll go get you some food!"

Soon, Xiao Tao went out of the house and went straight to the restaurant. After a while, he came back with a pile of lunch boxes.

Sweet and sour pork, fried tofu skin with dried vegetables, braised pork, tomato and egg soup, plus steamed flower rolls with chopped green onions and salted soybean oil.

I have to say, the dinner provided by this guesthouse was quite good.

The brothers gradually warmed up in front of the heater, so they washed their hands and hurried to eat. After eating and drinking, Yue Feng packed up the lunch boxes and couldn't wait to put the borrowed map on the single bed.

"This map was drawn by Wang Yansheng and his team! With the help of this map, we need to draw a map of our own! Xiao Tao, go to the counter and ask if they can find a large calendar paper for us! And also ask for a pencil!"

"profound!"

After a while, Xiao Tao came back with the calendar paper he asked for.

Yue Feng first found the area where he would be active today on the old map, and then, with this area as the core, expanded to other mountain terrains around it.

As he expanded, he recalled in his mind some details of the area he had searched the mountain through during the day, and then marked out the places where the tigers had eaten and stayed overnight.

If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. If you want to capture the black tiger alive by using a trap, you must be adequately prepared.

If other hunters who have no experience in hunting tigers were to take over, they might not be able to figure out anything from this map. However, the members of Yue Feng's team had experience in hunting tigers with the feeding circle method last year, so they understood this method of map analysis immediately.

During the day, Yue Feng had been looking for suitable terrain with thick snow on the shady slopes, but he had never found any with better conditions.

The answer to this question was found on the borrowed map.

About three kilometers north of one of the man-made trap pits, there is a steep slope which the locals call Yanwangwaizi.

There is a red exclamation mark on the map of Yanwangweizi, indicating that it is quite dangerous.

The slope is quite deep, and its trend is consistent with the direction of wind and snow in autumn and winter. Even if Yue Feng didn't go there to check it out in person, he knew that this side is in the downwind position, and there is a 100% chance that a large amount of snow will accumulate.

Hunters who go into the mountains are more resistant to the deep gullies on the shady slopes. If they move around here, they may accidentally step on empty space and get buried. It is quite dangerous if they don't understand the situation.

It just so happens that this Yanwangwaizi is the ideal terrain for Yue Feng's Operation Trap Tiger. At first glance, it seems very suitable. Tomorrow Yue Feng plans to go there in person for an on-site inspection.

"Let's go around here tomorrow!" Yue Feng said, pointing to the location on the map.

"Is the terrain here suitable?" Xiaowen asked casually.

Yue Feng nodded: "The direction and the terrain are suitable, but we have to see it in person to know whether it is feasible or not!

Before coming here, I was afraid that the black tiger would get frightened and run away in panic. However, when I asked during the day, it turned out that this guy was not afraid of people and was playing hide-and-seek with the hunters!
If it continues at this pace, it shouldn't be too far away after ten days or so!

I even suspect that this guy regards the forest behind the mountain as his core territory! He has no intention of running away or hiding at all!"

"Then there's no need to be afraid! As long as it doesn't run away, it will only be a matter of time before we catch it. Gather all the people and capture it alive!" Xiao Tao said.

"The overall situation is much better than we expected! Let's go check it out tomorrow and check out the surrounding situation!

By the way, who will be the doorman tomorrow?"

Xiao Tao is so bored after staying at home all day: "I have to go to the mountains for a walk. I am almost dying because I have nothing to play with at home!"

"Then I'll stay at home and look after the house!" Xiaowen said proactively.

"Okay, Xiaowen will stay at home for a day, and Xiaotao, Xiaowu and I, the three of us will go up the mountain tomorrow!

Is there anything else you haven't considered? Ask it now, otherwise we can go to bed early!"

"Boss, why do I feel that the leaders of the hunting teams during the day looked at us with unfriendly eyes? Is there something else going on?" Xiaowu couldn't help but say at this time.

Yue Feng grinned and said, "It's normal for them to look unfriendly. They are all in their 40s and 50s and consider themselves old bosses. We are just kids in our early 20s and we usually just help them!
Who knows what they are thinking in their hearts. Maybe they think we are here to join in the fun, or to pick peaches and get some credit!

I was at the village office in the evening, and Wang Yansheng was talking to me. He must be trying to find out our background!"

Xiao Wen curled his lips and said: "As for those people during the day, let me tell you, their real level may not be that good!
They didn’t even notice the tiger’s footprints on the sunny slope. No wonder they were attacked by tigers every now and then when they first entered the mountains a few days ago!”

At this point, Yue Feng nodded and said, "Judging from the footprints left by this black tiger during the day, it is most likely going to observe or attack people. We must be careful when we go into the mountains later!

Given its psychological quality, the risk it would take is probably huge, so it can't be taken lightly!"

"Are you afraid of fur? We have a dog with us. How can it avoid Canglong's ears?" When Xiao Tao heard this, he reached out and touched Canglong's dog head.

Yue Feng glanced at Xiao Tao and said, "That's true, but it's definitely right to be careful!
I feel that the hunters who enter the mountains are very vigilant. If I were the black tiger, I would not be able to find opportunities with the hunters, and would most likely look for opportunities to sneak attack the villagers who enter the mountains to dig pits!"

"Should we remind Secretary Sun early tomorrow morning?" Xiaowu asked.

"Well, I'll remind them tomorrow, it's up to them whether they listen or not!"

……

The short meeting ended and everyone went back to their rooms.

Yue Feng had also prepared the pure meat for the two eagles, and he personally sliced ​​the meat little by little while holding the eagles up.

The two eagles had been following overhead all day. They had long since digested the food they had eaten in the morning. They wolfed down their fill, then squatted on the stool at the head of the bed and quickly began to preen their feathers.

Look at the dog and coal balls in the house. The dog has the lowest status and is lying obediently under the radiator next to the door.

And Meiqiu was lying on his back, next to Yue Feng's shoes, close to the head of the bed.

Yue Feng went out in the morning and came back in the evening. He was tired after a busy day. He simply soaked his feet with hot water from the thermos, then turned off the lights early and rested.

The next morning, Director Li came again on time.

However, this time, Yue Feng did not let him lead the way. He simply said hello and went there alone with two team members.

In Huangtupozi Village, the villagers have almost gathered, but the Liberation Army vehicle has not arrived yet.

Yue Feng found Secretary Sun.

"Secretary Sun, I have a small situation to tell you. Please go back and talk to the villagers and the leaders!"

"What's going on, Xiaoyue?"

"We had a meeting last night to discuss the issue. Everyone felt that the black tiger was playing hide-and-seek. The hunters were quite alert, but the villagers who had just gone up the mountain to dig holes were not necessarily as alert.

Otherwise, you can remind them that once you are on the mountain, don’t move around alone, and don’t leave your companions’ sight!”

Hearing Yue Feng's kind reminder, Secretary Sun nodded with a smile: "Okay, your reminder is very timely, I will definitely tell the villagers! Is there anything else?"

"Nothing else!"

"Then let's get ready to go up the mountain, the truck is coming!"

……

Secretary Sun acted very serious in front of Yue Feng, but he did not remind the villagers at all.

In his opinion, it is common sense not to leave without permission when working in the mountains digging holes. This young man from Fengcheng really underestimated the villagers.

It was this taken-for-granted negligence that soon almost led to a disaster!
