Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

In December 1978, a conference was held in Beijing that was powerful enough to change our country.

Zhao Mancang was still feeling excited after walking out of the Great Hall.

The spring breeze of reform and opening up has sounded the clarion call, and what follows is an unprecedented millennium of great changes in China.

All in all, Zhao Mancang stayed in the capital for nearly a month. It was not until January of 1979 that he returned to the city of Beijiang.

Since he was busy building Beijiang City and Yunlan City, Zhao Mancang has spent much less time with his wife and children.

Especially when in Yunlan City, Lin Wan and Liu Baochan would not follow.

That is to say, when they were in Beijiang City, the two of them came over.

Luokeng Airport, a military airport, is still under construction and it is not known when it will be officially put into use.

Zhao Mancang particularly hopes that Luokeng Airport can be completed faster, so that he can travel to Yunlan City, Beijing, Shaya Laboratory, Sam Medford and other places more quickly in the future.

I don’t know when it started, but Zhao Mancang has become a frequent flyer, often running to many places, at least many times every year.

Just in China, the places he visits most often include Beijing, Shaya Laboratory, Beijiang City, Hong Kong Island, etc.

With his current working hours, he is very different from before and has no private entertainment time at all.

So after staying in Beijiang City for a week, he prepared to go hunting in the Siberian primeval forest.

"Dad, I want to go too. Can you take us with you?"

When Zhao Zhirui, Zhao Jinshi and other children heard this, they immediately started mumbling.

These children have either started working or are on winter vacation, so they all want to follow their father to experience a better life.

"You all want to go hunting? How are your skills?" Zhao Mancang asked with a smile.

Ever since Liu Baochan and Lin Wan started hanging out together, Zhao Zhirui and the other kids also started playing with Xiao Baozi and the other kids.

They distinguished their brothers and sisters according to their age, and called Liu Baochan "aunt".

This is a very Hong Kong-style way of calling it.

Many times, every time Zhao Mancang heard the name "aunt", he would feel dazed.

Because kids like Xiao Baozi have been in Hong Kong Island for a long time, that’s why they know this name, right?
I don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing?
"I'm very skilled, Dad, you know. I got full marks in all my shooting classes."

The aristocratic schools in Hong Kong Island have shooting courses, which is something that many public schools do not have. Zhao Zhirui is seventeen years old and is a high school student.

"Okay, I'll take you with me, but you must be obedient and not act recklessly. Do you understand?"

yeah!
So the family set out for the primeval forest.

Zhao Mancang took everyone to fly to a military base airport in the north, and then took a helicopter to leave the area.

During the entire process, they wore eye masks and earmuffs and could not see the outside world.

After arriving at the primeval forest, Zhao Mancang took Xiao Baozi and the others into the forest and began to cross it.

"We will spend the next period of time in this primeval forest. Each of you should carry your backpack. We only brought one day's worth of dry food. The rest are emergency backup medicines, heating equipment, etc."

Looking at the children in front of him, Zhao Mancang said seriously.

"You all exercise regularly, and now it's time to test your will. Hunting is more than just a sport."

"Show me your true abilities and show me your survival skills in the wild."

This year's Spring Festival is on January 27th, which is relatively early, so Zhao Mancang and his friends will not stay in the primeval forest for too long. Moreover, it is still very cold at this time.

Therefore, after entering the forest, you may not be able to hunt prey, and you may even freeze to death.

Anyway, they insisted on following, so Zhao Mancang had no choice but to meet their demands and let them experience the dangers of the world.

Deep in the primeval forest, the snow was so thick that just walking became the biggest problem.

Besides, at this time, it gets dark very quickly and the daytime is only a few hours long.

"We need to hurry and find a temporary shelter for the night. We also need to collect materials and build the shelter as quickly as possible, so we have to be quick."

After hearing what their father said, children like Zhao Zhirui and Xiao Shitou lowered their heads and hurried on their way, responding in a low voice.

But the northwest wind was very strong, so Zhao Mancang couldn't hear clearly.

Soon, an hour and a half passed, and everyone had only advanced a little over a kilometer. It was really difficult to move forward on the ground covered with ice and snow.

Zhao Mancang knew about skis, but he didn't tell the little ones about it.

If we had brought the descendants of Big Black and Little Black with us before setting off, or bought sled dogs from others, then our progress would definitely be very fast now.

It's their first time 'visiting' this place, so it's normal for them to have no experience.

Seeing that night was about to fall, Zhao Mancang was about to speak, but at this time, Xiao Baozi and the others had already stopped, pointing to the location ahead, and asked their father if he would build the shelter there?

"No problem, you decide."

After just one glance, Zhao Mancang said so.

Anyway, this time when going out "hunting", Zhao Mancang is more interested in the children's survival skills rather than anything else.

So he didn't provide any help to the children and only listened to their opinions throughout the process.

Following Xiao Baozi and the others' suggestions, everyone chose a relatively open area to build a shelter.

After confirming the location of the shelter, the children began to divide the work.

The materials for building a shelter are very simple. There is plenty of such wood in the primeval forest anyway, so there is no need to worry.

The dry firewood could not be seen because it was covered with ice and snow.

In a place like this, the conditions are extremely difficult.

However, Zhao Zhirui and his group of children have strong hands-on skills. Usually they have nothing to lose, but now they are also very hardworking.

Zhao Mancang was also busy, helping to collect some dry firewood.

But nearly an hour later, Zhao Mancang almost couldn't hold it anymore when he saw the 'shelter' they had built.

Because the shelter in front of him actually only had one wall, and the rest was leaky.

Then there was a fire, and nothing else.

There was no food prepared because the two brothers, Little Stone and Little Fatty, had just gone out hunting and returned empty-handed.

what is it now?
Are you hungry?

"Okay, yours is really shabby. If I hadn't come with you, you would have built a shelter like this. It wouldn't even take until the middle of the night, and you would probably have died here." Zhao Mancang rolled his eyes at the children and had to do it himself.

The children all opened their eyes wide, and then saw their father cutting down many trees at a very fast speed.

In Zhao Mancang's hands, these trees took shape quickly and soon became materials for building wooden houses.

"Go collect some moss for me. It's nearby. Keep an eye on your surroundings. This is a primeval forest, and there are many unseen dangers."

While cutting down trees, Zhao Mancang did not forget to instruct the children to work.

After all, according to the shelter they built, they would definitely freeze to death at night.

Fortunately, it is only two o'clock in the afternoon, and Zhao Mancang still has plenty of time.

After sending the children to a nearby place, Zhao Mancang immediately started building the wooden house at the speed of light.

Because this primeval forest was rich in timber, with many straight trees, including pine and spruce trees that were twenty or thirty meters tall, Zhao Mancang was able to collect them quickly.

A log more than 20 meters long was like a toothpick in Zhao Mancang's hand and had no weight at all.

Only an hour had passed after Zhao Mancang collected enough trees.

At this time, Zhao Zhirui and the others had also returned.

With the help of the children, Zhao Mancang began to build the wooden house.

Zhao Mancang built the wooden house with his bare hands without any need for modern tools such as cranes and pulleys.

The large wooden house, which is about twenty meters long and twenty meters wide, has more than three meters in height after more than ten logs were piled on each of the four walls, so it is time to start roofing.

The children were stunned. They didn't expect that in less than two hours, a wooden house had been completed.

"You guys should cover the gaps between the wooden house walls with moss to block the wind!"

With Zhao Mancang working at full speed, the wooden house was quickly built.

After the roof is completed, the next step is to build the gate and lay the floor, and then you can move in.

But how could such a beautiful cabin not have a great fireplace?
Without a fireplace, it would still be very cold at night.

"Dad, you're amazing! Not only are you strong, but you're also great at carpentry. You can easily chop wood to the right length. It took you less than two hours to build such a big cabin."

When they moved into the wooden house, the children still couldn't believe it.

At this time, after the door of the wooden house is closed, the temperature inside the house is much higher than outside, even if there is no fire yet.

Zhao Mancang chatted briefly with the children, and then took them outside to pick up stones.

It is necessary to build a fireplace with stones, otherwise it will still be cold at night.

In fact, they all brought sleeping bags, but Zhao Mancang would not treat himself badly when he went out to play.

What's more, the children are spoiled in the big city, and Zhao Mancang doesn't want them to suffer when they go out. This will also help cultivate their hands-on ability.

Most importantly, you can use these to observe their every move.

Nearly half an hour later, the fireplace was built. The collected firewood was moved into the cabin. After it was lit, the temperature inside the cabin began to rise.

Now, this cabin feels more like a home.

Zhao Mancang spent some more time and quickly used the firewood that had not been used up to quickly build the bed, table, benches and other utensils.

Well, now all we need is food.

"Come on, I'll take you hunting. There are many wild animals hiding in the icy and snowy primeval forests, but you don't know much about them, so naturally you can't find their traces."

He asked Xiao Baozi and his other sisters to stay in the wooden house, and he set off with Xiao Shitou and the others.

However, it was already past six in the afternoon and it was completely dark outside.

However, even though it was dark, Zhao Mancang and the others were not greatly affected. After all, walking was not a big problem.

Zhao Mancang put on his "goggles" and could not escape any of the heat sources in the forest.

Plus, they were wearing skis, so they were able to move quickly through the forest.

By seven o'clock, Zhao Mancang and his team had harvested three fat snow hares and two Arctic red foxes.

At this time, the red foxes all have white fur, so they can also be called white foxes. They are indeed very beautiful fur. If tanned well, they will definitely make excellent gloves or hats.

Of course, there must be enough fur to make enough gloves or hats.

In the cold Siberian primeval forest, where there are few people, you don't have to worry about encountering humans, but you do need to be careful of the cold killers here.

If there is sufficient food and heat source, then surviving in such a place would definitely be a very happy thing.

Roar!
Just as Zhao Mancang and his men continued to move forward, they suddenly heard a tiger roar in the front, and they all became alert.

Little Stone, Little Fatty and other children became even more excited. They immediately reached for the gun barrels with their gloved hands, ready to shoot.

However, Zhao Mancang told them not to be anxious.

"Listening to the tiger's roar, it's at least a thousand meters away from us. We're downwind, so we can hear it clearly. But if we go over now, we have to be careful because the wind direction in the forest can change at any time."

Zhao Mancang told the children about hunting techniques in the primeval forest.

Tigers still come out to hunt in the forest late at night. It can only be said that they are really hungry.

Siberian tigers do not hibernate, and such cold weather is just moderate temperature for them. Their thick fur gives them great ability to keep out the cold.

Therefore, at this time, Zhao Mancang and his men only need to move forward, and who knows, they might be able to hunt down the tiger.

Everyone moved forward slowly, and Zhao Mancang kept an eye on the wind direction at all times.

Through the 'goggles', Zhao Mancang could clearly see that there was indeed a heat source ahead, and there was more than one.

It seems that it is a tiger hunting, but the prey is unlikely to escape death.

"Okay, we'll be here. Wait for my command to shoot."

When he was more than a hundred meters away from the tiger, Zhao Mancang stopped moving forward.

The Siberian tiger was eating at this time, and Zhao Mancang and his men were downwind, so the tiger did not realize that danger was approaching.

The father and his sons all loaded their guns and aimed at the tiger in front of them.

Just as Zhao Mancang and his men fired their bullets, the phone in Zhao Mancang's arms rang. (End of this chapter)
