Forest Farm 1985: Raise a bear cub to climb the mountain

Chapter 214 One Thousand Yuan Full of Oil and Seeds (Two in One)

People around were talking about it, and apart from criticizing Zheng Xiaojian, most of them were talking about Zheng Xianjie's grandfather.

However, there were too few references to rely on, and after much discussion, no one could guess who this old man came from.

While everyone else was enjoying the melon, only Dai Song had an indifferent expression, or rather, he was so solemn that it was not noticeable;

Even people who are not involved in this incident can guess that Zheng Xiaojian has a lot of connections and coincidences with this wildfire.
What’s more, he is the one who has been standing at the center of the vortex from the beginning to the end?

If Zheng Xiaojian was still in the village, he would feel at ease.
Whether it is letting Ding Baoshan watch over him,

Or to solve the problem once and for all, just let the police station investigate him.
It won't be released until the matter is completely clear.

These can ensure the safety of Tuanjietun and his family to the greatest extent possible while he is out investigating the Sumao people's crossing points.

However, at this moment, Zheng Xiaojian had fled into the mountains. With almost no evidence, it was impossible for the police station to send a large number of police forces to search the mountains.

This leaves a huge hidden danger...

Dai Song thought about it while responding to several other village heads. Seeing that the time was almost up, he took Erhan and his uncle home.

Ever since Xiao Xiong left the house, Jiang Weiqun has been worried.

The affairs of the Zhao family had already reached her ears a long time ago, so she was worried that Xiao Erhan would be targeted by some ill-intentioned people at the meeting, so she sat on the small bed in the main room, staring at the little snow bear on the window in a daze.

When she saw the round figure climbing over the wall and falling into the yard, her whole face was as bright as a chrysanthemum.

He clapped his hands, slipped out of the crib, opened the door quickly, and let the little bear in.

Erhan won a medal, but was worried about where to show off.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw adults and children looking at it, and he stood up immediately.

He spat out the medal he had been holding in his mouth, held it clumsily to his chest with his paws, and circled around Jiang Weiqun and Xiao Yingying who came jumping over to join in the fun, showing off so happily that he didn't care at all that the mink in his butt crack was crooked and stuck on his little tail.

"Hahaha, what a bear!"

Jiang Weiqin had sharp eyes and saw at a glance that the mink in Erhan's buttocks had gone astray. She slapped Erhan's buttocks with a smile and scolded him, and then hooked it straight. Then she looked at Erhan's medal,
"After all this fanfare, in the end they only gave me such a small medal?

I thought they would give me some home appliances or something like that, just like the last time we beat up the human traffickers."

"What other home appliances do you need? We already have all the appliances at home." Dai Xiaoqian stretched her neck to look at Erhan's small medal carefully.

When someone wanted to take it and take a closer look, Erhan immediately covered the small medal with his paws, opened his mouth wide, and backed away grunting, as if he was afraid that someone would break his medal.

"Hey! You're so stingy, can't you even let me take a look?"

"That's right. If you can also bring back a medal like this, you will definitely treasure it more than Little Erhan!" Jiang Weiqin happily picked up Little Yingying, who was jumping and skipping behind Erhan, but her legs were too short to see anything, so she could only scream in anxiety.
"Come on, Erhan, let us see the treasure in your hand~"

Erhan turned his head when he heard that, and blinked his little eyes.

At this moment, a lot of things flashed through its mind;

Sticky bean curd, steamed bread slices, noodles, noodle soup, pickled cabbage and pork ribs...

The little bear finally shrewdly wandered over to Jiang Weiqin and carefully presented her with the little medal.

Seeing that people all gathered around him,
He was very protective of his treasure and pressed his head directly on Jiang Weiqin's hand holding the medal, as if he was afraid that too many people would see his treasure and damage it.
As soon as its head pressed on Jiang Weiqun's hand, the latter pulled her hand away, bypassing it and showing the medal to everyone.

"Let me take a look, let me take a look!"

"Let me see too! Hey! What material is this made of?"

“Gold!”

"No way. I weighed it and it's definitely not gold, but it doesn't look like copper either."

"It looks like an alloy, but the specific material is unclear."

"Hang! Hang!"

When the little bear saw the medal being passed from hand to hand, he stretched out his claws but couldn't reach it, so he immediately cried out anxiously: "Dead hand, give me the medal back!"
Seeing the little bear stretching out its two paws and chasing the medal in the crowd, Xiao Yingying seemed to understand what was going on. She immediately kicked her short legs, twisted her body, and stretched out her little hands to grab the medal from her uncle.
"Uncle~ I am so anxious~
Xiongxiong is sad~ Please return the small medal to Xiongxiong~"

Dai Bo was about to stuff the medal into his mouth and take a bite to see what it was made of. Upon hearing this, he immediately stuffed the small medal into Erhan's wide-open mouth.
"Okay~ Give it back to Erhan, I'll give it back to Erhan right away~"

At the same time, Jiang Haohan and Dai Song also returned home.

Everyone saw the medal on Dai Song’s chest at a glance and immediately surrounded him.

The little girl was like a clockwork frog, shivering non-stop in Jiang Weiqun's arms until she was held by her father. She hugged Dai Song's arm and snorted on her face.

The little bear was finally free, and hurried to the crib, looked at the hanging bed sheet, stretched out his paw, and cautiously tried twice.

After finding nothing unusual, it rushed in, curled up in the nest, holding the small medal and sucking it.

Dai Song took off the medal and showed it to everyone for examination. While Jiang Haohan and the others were recounting the proceedings of the meeting, he asked Dai Bo to open the sack next to the stove.

"Brother, take out five flying dragons, five sand peacocks, and five pheasants."

"Okay, let's do it, Songzi. Even if you're happy today, this is a bit too much. You can't finish it."

"It's not ours to eat, so how much we eat is up to me?" Dai Song said, glancing at Jiang Weiqin behind him. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his mother with her hands on her hips, laughing so hard that she didn't care about him at all.

"This is for the leaders. It's a rare opportunity for so many leaders to come to our village, so shouldn't we show some appreciation?

They will stay in the village for dinner tonight, so please help me deliver it to Qi Shunli."

"Me?" Dai Bo's eyes lit up.

"Well, brother, you have made a lot of efforts. Logically, you should have a share of this medal.
But I haven't heard anything so far, so I don't know how you will be rewarded.

Go show up and see if you can make yourself familiar to the leader.
It was also a reminder to Qi Shunli to remind him not to forget the people who also contributed a lot.”

"Great!" Dai Bai's brows were beaming with joy. He quickly packed the game into sacks, threw them over his shoulders, and walked out of the yard at the top of his lungs. When he came back, the smile on his face almost turned into syrup.

Seeing him so happy, everyone became curious.
"Baizi, what's wrong? You went out for a while, but why are you so happy when you come back?"

"Brother, did you pick up the money? Sister-in-law, hurry up and confiscate the money from him, or else brother will hide the private money from you!"

"Oh, none of them!" Dai Baile couldn't close his mouth. "Just now Songzi asked me to deliver vegetables to the village.

I found out from Qi Shunli that although I don’t have Songzi’s medal or anything like that, my bonus is 10 yuan higher than Songzi’s!”

"10 bucks more than pine nuts?"

"How much is that?"

Everyone became excited all of a sudden.

Dai Bo smiled and waved a finger in front of his eyes.

"one hundred?!"

Dai Bai shook his head. Everyone looked surprised and took a half step back.

Jiang Haohan also gave a sly smile.

Jiang Weiqin looked at it and asked tentatively, "Baizi, how much exactly is it? It's too high for us to guess!
Songzi, do you know how much your bonus is? He won't tell you, so you tell me!"

Dai Song shook his head. “I haven’t had time to ask yet.”

Dai Bo's face was full of pride. Seeing that everyone was looking forward to it, Tang Liping began to give him a cold look, so he didn't dare to keep it a secret and said directly,

"One thousand and ten yuan! Wife! We can decorate our house in the spring!"

"so much!!"

"Haohan! Why is the reward so much this time?!" Jiang Weiqun excitedly pinched Jiang Haohan's hand and shook it.

"Haha, not much, not much, it's what I should do. We went to Gouzi Mountain this morning.

Last night's fire only burned more than 200 large trees and 70 to 80 small trees. Including the trees used to create firebreaks, the total loss was less than 400 trees.

Do you know how much loss the factory manager and I estimated on the way here?"

Everyone shook their heads in confusion.

"A thousand trees as a base!" Jiang Haohan waved his hand, "At that time we estimated that no matter how good the situation was, we would lose a thousand trees.

But in reality, the amount of loss did not even reach half of this number!
When we were going down the mountain, the factory manager decided to give more money as a reward to everyone.

The originally agreed upon bonus was three hundred.

Later, I gave each person an extra hundred yuan.”

"That's only four hundred."

"This is just to put out the fire. Baizi and Songzi also drove out the Sumao people.

There is another bonus, which is paid jointly by the police station and the military force.

Only the militia and my two brothers have it. It is equivalent to a reward given by both parties, so the amount is relatively large.

As for the ten more pieces of cypress nuts than pine nuts, I guess it was Lao Qi who added them to the cypress nuts~"

When everyone heard this, they were extremely happy.

Xiaoyingying's two little hands kept rolling up the little hair on her head.
Although I couldn't understand what the adults were saying, I was happy to see my mother laughing happily and my grandmother smiling proudly.

She also opened her little mouth and snuggled up to Dai Song's neck for a while;
She has become more and more familiar with everyone's expressions in the past six months. It must be that her father has done something good, which is why everyone has such expressions.

Jiang Weiqin was happy for a while, glanced at Big Ben, and suddenly clapped her hands.

"Oh! I was so happy that I forgot to cook!

Baizi Songzi, you two still have to patrol the village tonight, right? Hurry!

"Xiao Qian will light the fire! Li Ping and Xiao Wan will prepare the dishes! Hao Han, you and your brother-in-law go sit in the room and wait. I will make you another big meal!"

"No need to bother you, sister." Jiang Haohan shook his hands repeatedly, "I have to go to the village headquarters to have dinner with the leaders in a while."

"Ah? It's a rare visit for you, can't you eat at home?"

Dai Laohan hugged Jiang Weiqin's shoulders.

"Wei Qin, what you said is wrong. Haohan is also a leader. Everyone else is eating at the military headquarters, but he is the only one not going. Is he having a private meal or something? Isn't this going to attract criticism?"

"Okay, then will you stay at our house tonight? We have bedding ready, just spread it out!"

"It depends on what the leaders think."

Jiang Haohan helplessly spread his hands, but Dai Laohaner pointed out,
"That's easy! Haohan, you should let the leaders drink more at the dinner table! If they drink too much, they will definitely not leave!"

"Yeah, right!" Jiang Weiqin nodded repeatedly. Jiang Haohan smiled, not missing out on the enthusiasm of his elder sister and brother-in-law, and went to the garrison after responding.

Although it is a temporary preparation.

But thanks to the efforts of the village cadres and a large group of old women around them, the dinner was prepared in a proper manner.

The tables and chairs in the canteen of the village were put together to form a huge square table, and everyone sat next to each other.

There were enamel basins of various sizes on the table, with steaming dishes inside.

In front of the delicious food, everyone let go of all the habits in their bodies, temporarily put aside their work, and just ate with their mouths wide open.

Only after everyone had eaten their fill and burped from picking their teeth did they gradually get back to work. They started a discussion at the dinner table about the plan Dai Song had mentioned earlier, and then they consulted higher-ups directly through a temporary call that they had borrowed from the canteen. The pace was tight and there were no loopholes.

Although Jiang Haohan didn't say much throughout the whole event, he kept this matter firmly in mind.

At the same time, the Dai family.

The two brothers sat on their small beds and ate their meals noisily.

Erhan sat aside, head lowered, enjoying the food fed by the little girl.

This is a rare leisure time in the day. After dinner, we have to start the busy patrol.
Considering that Zheng Xiaojian was still out there, Dai Song had to find a chance to say hello to the militiamen and Qi Shunli.

When I am not at home for a while, I must take care of the house for him.

At the same time, he asked Qi Shunli to tell the leader that his leaving the village must be kept strictly confidential;

In the past, Zheng Xiaojian could get information from his father-in-law and Yuan Kai. Although he is "alone" now, he must be on high alert and be prepared for the worst.

At the same time, we must calm the emotions of the villagers.

Let everyone fully believe that Class 78 is safe enough now, so that people will not panic and make things difficult for their families when he is away.

The second thing was that when he was dealing with his leader before, he mentioned that he himself selected the team members.

Of course, the leader’s idea is to have both.

It is necessary to find a place and solve the problem as quickly as possible while ensuring safety at the same time.

This led to the initial plan to bring professional personnel into the mountains.

Little do they know that this does not improve safety much, and too many people will be very cumbersome.

Therefore, in order to make the leader accept his ideas, Dai Song first asked to let him choose the candidates, but this was just a delaying tactic.

Although the leader agreed and gave up the idea of ​​sending professionals into the mountains,
But Dai Song was completely clueless about who should go into the mountains with him, and there was no suitable one at all.

This time, the round-trip distance is at least 500 kilometers.

It will take half a month.

Everyone knows the dangers deep in the Greater Khingan Range. Who else can he find to do this kind of job?
Dai Song kept selecting the ideas in his mind while eating, over and over again, and when he was almost done with his meal, he finally gave up.

It's either because of lack of ability or lack of familiarity, and you can't trust the other person with your back.

I can only say that he is a fool. This matter is not difficult to handle. If you really bring someone you don't trust, it will only cause more trouble.

The previous agreement with the leader to set off two days later was just to reassure him.

This was to avoid forcing people to follow him after hearing that he was planning to go alone.

After all, considering all factors, it might be more efficient for him, Erhan and the bear to go into battle lightly.
But when it really comes to the day after tomorrow, it will not be convenient for the leader to disrupt the plan because time does not allow it.

As for the next two days, Dai Song decided to pick up the forest frogs in the ditches and ponds first.

If you miss this village, you will have to wait until spring if you want to eat it again.

The key is that it may not be available even after spring.

These forest frogs are so stupid that they got the season wrong. After they lay seeds, they may not survive until spring if they have nothing to eat.

So tomorrow I must drag Dai Bai up the mountain to pick up all those forest frogs.

I also have to go to town to see Jiang Zhanhua.

It's been a while since we last contacted each other, so we need to consolidate our relationship. Secondly, we can also talk to Jiang Zhanhua about this matter.

In case something really happens and I am not at home, Jiang Zhanhua has a lot of power behind him that I can mobilize, so he is a great support.

After thinking through the follow-up plans, Dai Song's mood gradually stabilized.

After dinner, he and Dai Bai took Erhan to the village headquarters. They just happened to meet the leaders coming out of the cafeteria. He hurried forward, grabbed Qi Shunli, and told him to be careful about matters related to Zheng Xiaojian. He then asked him to tell the leaders that this matter must be kept strictly confidential.

The reason was also stated directly. As for the fact that his words would directly prompt his comrades to search the mountain, Dai Song did not hold out much hope.

Then, as usual, he led the team to patrol the village.

It seemed that the militiamen were all very excited as they knew that the prize money was huge.

When passing by the Zhao family, he did not forget to slow down and study the specific situation in Zhao Qiang's yard.

When they found that the door was still blocked, they all felt relieved and went somewhere else laughing.

At the garrison headquarters, Qi Shunli found the leaders as soon as possible, explained clearly what Dai Song had instructed, and then warmly invited the leaders to stay overnight.

When everyone saw that it was getting late and dark, they decided that it was not impossible to handle the work in the village headquarters, and since everyone was there, it would be convenient for discussion.

So I simply decided to sleep on the floor and relive the feeling of struggle back then.

Qi Shunli happily went to make arrangements, and at the same time did not forget to change the phone line to the room where the leaders were resting.

And so it was, late at night.

When the Dai brothers sent the sleepy little bear back, they happened to meet Jiang Haohan who was strolling home with his neck tucked in.

Upon asking, I found out that a room full of men were sleeping on the floor, making quite a lot of noise.

None of the leaders disliked each other, and the smell of their feet was stronger than each other. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he planned to go to Dai's house to spend the night.

When they arrived at the yard, Jiang Haohan grabbed Dai Song and was about to say something, but unexpectedly the door had been broken open by the little bear.

Jiang Weiqun, who was listening to the radio in the room, saw Jiang Haohan was there too and immediately invited him in. The brother and sister took care of Little Bear's midnight snack while chatting about family matters.

Nothing happened that night.

The next morning, the two brothers came back from patrolling the village and found that their uncle had also gotten up. He was wrapped in a quilt and sitting on the small bed in the main room fiddling with the radio. The three of them had breakfast together, and Dai Song elbowed Dai Bai's arm.

"Let's go up the mountain."

"What the hell?" Jiang Weiqin was immediately unhappy when she heard it, "Old man, who did you tell to go up the mountain?"

Dai Song had no choice but to tell the story of a pond of wood frogs he had found in a ditch on the mountain.
"I have seen those wood frogs, and they are definitely about to bear seeds.

Mom, you know, that stuff is very nutritious to eat."

Dai Song winked as he spoke. Jiang Weiqin didn't react at first, but after two seconds, she suddenly became happy.

"Really?! Okay! I'll pick them up too!

That’s great! We can eat roe deer foetus today! Let’s stew them together! Give it to Liping!
Baizi! You have to do your best! "

Dai Bo's legs almost staggered when he heard this, but he still smiled awkwardly and nodded.

Jiang Haohan held Jiang Weiqin's shoulders.

"Sister, don't join in the fun. Going up the mountain is not for fun. It's more or less dangerous.

With your leg strength, it will be easy to go up, but you will need someone to carry you down, so I will go up with my two brothers."

Although Jiang Weiqun was unhappy, she thought about it and agreed, thinking that the words were reasonable. She quickly tied a rope around the chest of the waiter who was eating, and then stuffed a number of burlap bags into his chest.

After the little bear had eaten his fill, the three of them staggered, two carrying hoes and one carrying a fishing net, and headed straight for Gouzi Mountain.

Erhan was running very fast because he was carrying layers of sacks on his back that drifted like cloaks and were laid out like armor. Although he didn't know what this thing was called, it was so cool!
As a result, not long after going out, Erhan got a stitch in the side due to the intense exercise after the meal. He lay in the snow, panting for more than ten minutes before he recovered.

After that, he was much more obedient along the way, walking steadily in front of the three people and leading the way.

But every time the wind blows, the little bear jumps a few times, as if to experience the feeling of his cape fluttering.

Once they arrived at the place, except for Erhan, the other three were surprised by the scene before them.

Under the ice of the ditch pond, all the forest frogs were stirring.

The ice layer, which should have become thicker, became uneven under the continuous pupation of the wood frog. At first glance, it looked like frosted glass in later generations, so people could only get a vague idea of ​​it, but could not tell how much was inside.

"What should we do? Songzi, let me hoe the ice first?" Dai Bai was used to listening to Dai Song now, especially since they were on the mountain. He immediately stuck the hoe into the ground and waited for Dai Song or Jiang Haohan to come up with a solution.

"Don't dig the ice yet. Just dig a gap here." Dai Song said as he walked to the edge of the ditch and stepped on the ground.

Although the land was frozen hard, it was not too hard to hoe. He turned his head to look at the lower ground beside the ditch and pond, and estimated that it should be enough to drain the water from the pond. He took the hoe from his uncle and hoeed while saying,
"I'll hoe this side open in a bit, and then one person will be here to catch it with a scoop net, and another person will stand by, ready to put it in a sack at any time."

“This trick works!”

Dai Bai said this, calling the eager Xiao Erhan over and pulling out a cloak-like sack from its back.

The latter immediately became unhappy, and grabbed Dai Bo's arm with his two claws, barking non-stop, and was about to bite the sack and start tug-of-war. Dai Song hurriedly said,

"Don't worry, Erhan. I will return it to you in a while. Not only that, but it will be even more impressive. I guarantee that when we return to the village, everyone will be amazed!"

When Erhan heard this, he was immediately satisfied, stopped making trouble, and obediently stepped aside, sitting cross-legged in the snow, watching the three people cooperate without blinking.

Dai Song broke the dam at a corner of the ditch, and the forest frogs inside were immediately washed out by the water flow.

"Uncle, uncle! Come and catch them!" Dai Bai saw that many forest frogs had been washed away, and he was so anxious that he wanted to rush down and pick them up one by one.

"Don't pick them up. If you catch them all, there will be nothing left to eat. Leave some in this ditch. In two years, there will be a pond again."

"Yes, Songzi is right. We can't wipe out the whole family. Baizi, come quickly. My net is almost full!"

Jiang Haohan looked at the wood frogs that were constantly washed into the net by the water flow, and smiled so hard that his teeth were not visible. He weighed them and hurriedly poured them into the sack in Dai Bai's hand.

Dai Song took out a female leopard (female forest frog) from the sack, tore open its belly and saw that it was full of seeds, all of which were plump and round!

PS: The one in the picture is cooked, the red part is the pepper and soybean paste, not the blood...

I can’t find any raw pictures. They are so densely packed like passion fruit seeds, a bit disgusting. I’m afraid of causing everyone’s fear of seeds…
