Chapter 38 Wild Mountain Bees, Tracking
"Oh dear! I saw the commune doctor, and he said that Changmei milk is 'heaty' and that if Xiaobao drinks it, he won't poop properly." Yang Shunong said with a worried look on his face.
Chang Kun blinked, thought for a moment, and wondered if it was because he had fed his older sister fried cicadas and caused her to have a sore throat? And his little nephew was suffering as a result?
If that's the case, then I've truly sinned.
"Xiao Kun, let me ask you, can you get wild honey and bee pupae?" Yang Shunong asked anxiously.
"The doctor prescribed live bee pupae, and the honey and bee pupae had to come from the same nest. He said they complement each other, and that Changmei would be fine after eating them for a few days."
"I've asked several people, but no one knows!"
Chang Kun curled his lip. He knew that honey could relieve internal heat, but it required bee pupae, and they had to be from the same brood. He felt that the doctor was just making a fuss and showing off his medical skills.
My sister is just feeling a bit feverish; she'll probably feel better in a couple of days if she drinks more hot water.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I know where there are wild bees. Come on, let's go up the mountain."
"Great! Come on! Hurry! Didn't you see your nephew? He's crying his eyes out, and nothing I do can soothe him! Ugh!"
"Don't worry, sir, we need to get ready," Chang Kun said after a moment's thought. "Mom, could you bring me that cloth from a few days ago, along with two sacks? That should be enough. I'll grab the gun and we're off."
"My dear in-law, you left home quite early. You haven't eaten yet, have you? Have something to eat before you go up the mountain."
"Ah! No need, Xiao Kun can finish eating before leaving. It won't make a difference if it's just a few more minutes." Yang Shunong said he wasn't in a hurry, but in reality, his eyes were fixed on the outside, his brow furrowed with worry.
"Mom, make four big steamed buns and fill a kettle with boiling water. My uncle and I can have a bite on the way. The sooner we finish, the less my nephew will suffer."
"Alright, you're quick-witted, in-law. Yesterday, Xiao Kun and I went to town to sell wild rabbits, and we even saw your eldest daughter-in-law. We had a very pleasant chat."
The big meat buns I bought on the way back smelled so good!
As he spoke, he took a steaming hot meat bun from the pot and handed it to Yang Shunong.
Yang Shunong grinned. This in-law is truly exceptional; in short, generous!
While the two were eating meat buns, Liu Meifen prepared the burlap sack and water bottle. Chang Kun carried four meat buns, slung his gun over his shoulder, and left.
Before leaving, he instructed his mother, "Mom, take the water bead fishing rod I bought yesterday to the cricket. I haven't given him anything from the wild boars and rabbits these past few days. Remember to take the bullets with you."
The two met Chang Dashan on the way back from carrying water. After exchanging a few words, they headed straight for Wild Boar Ridge.
At the village entrance, Chang Kun ran into Uncle Cheng, a fellow villager who also enjoyed hunting in the mountains. Uncle Cheng asked, "Little Kun, where did you hunt that wild boar? So many people from the village have gone into the mountains these past few days, and we haven't seen a single bristle!"
Grandpa Zhao, who was smoking his pipe nearby, said, "That's right. My eldest son went into the mountains for three days and didn't catch a thing. He was exhausted every day, like a grandson. All he does when he gets home is eat!"
Chang Kun chuckled, "Grandpa, Uncle, wild boars roam all over the mountains. If you're lucky, you'll run into one; if you're unlucky, you won't see one. You can't just randomly look around and expect to find one."
After a brief chat, Chang Kun and Yang Shunong continued on their way. They finished their meat buns along the way, unaware that a shadowy figure was following them.
Upon reaching Wild Boar Ridge, with the system sensor on the whole time, I discovered that the swarm of wild bees was still in the same spot.
He and Yang Shunong searched everywhere for withered branches and leaves, carefully piling them under the honeycomb tree cavity.
Chang Kun unfolded the cloth, and each person draped a piece over themselves as a simple protective suit. In case of a mishap, they could cover their bodies with the entire cloth so that the bees could not sting them.
The two tied the dry branches together and began to light a fire to smoke out the bees.
Chang Kun gently tapped the tree hole with a stick, causing the beehive inside to vibrate and the bees to fly out.
After smoking for a long time, Chang Kun noticed that fewer and fewer bees were flying out. He poked the beehive with his hand and found that there were indeed not many bees flying out. He quickly took the whole hive and stuffed it into a sack.
That's it.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Shunong laughed heartily twice, patted Chang Kun on the shoulder, and said, "Little Kun, you really have a knack for this!"
I won't go back. I'll head west along this mountain ridge, pass Qin Family Village, and then I'll be on the main road. These bee pupae need to be dried while they're still alive."
Chang Kun thought that since Grandpa Yang was coming to visit and was in the mountains, he should pack something for him to take with him.
The system sensor is now activated, and the current sensing distance is 450 meters, which is nearly a kilometer, so it's quite far.
According to his senses, there was a small prey staying still at the foot of the western hill, which was on the same route as Yang Shunong, making it a good time to catch it.
"Come on, sir, let me walk you a few steps."
"What's there to give away? I know this mountain very well." With the honey and bee pupae he needed already obtained, Yang Shunong relaxed completely.
The two had barely left Wild Boar Ridge when someone quietly followed them.
Jin Sanjia squatted at the foot of Wild Boar Ridge, watching Chang Kun and Yang Shunong work for a while before leaving.
He jogged towards the spot where Chang Kun had just been standing.
When Chang Kun was working in the city, he called Chang Kun "Brother Kun" and often followed Chang Kun around, eating and drinking for free.
After Chang Kun was fired, he became sarcastic and spread the news of Chang Kun's dismissal everywhere, demoting the former "Brother Kun" to "Ah Kun".
Even if Chang Kun was stupid, he saw through this person and completely broke off relations with him.
In the past few days, Chang Kun has been catching wild boars, rabbits, and field mice, causing quite a stir. The villagers all say that Chang Kun has found a prime spot in the mountains where he hunts wild boars and other wild animals.
Jin Sanjia wholeheartedly agreed. After all, he had been close to Chang Kun for so long and knew Chang Kun very well. Just like himself, Chang Kun was a country bumpkin who couldn't do anything and didn't want to do anything. How could he possibly hunt wild boars?
For the past few days, he had been following Chang Kun up the mountain, trying to find Chang Kun's auspicious hunting spot, and today he finally found it.
Chang Kun and Yang Shunong have stayed on the ridge for so long, there must be something special about it. The thought of discovering their secret made Jin Sanjia's heart burn with excitement.
After running from the foot of the ridge to the top, panting heavily, Jin Sanjia squatted on the ground looking at the withered branches and leaves burned by the fire.
What are those two doing?
There seems to be a large hole in the middle of this dead tree. Could there be something inside?
He climbed up the dead tree and peered into the hollow inside.
The beehive in the tree hole had been moved, leaving only a few traces of its previous existence.
Jin Sanjia grew up in a rural area, so he naturally knew about beehives.
not good!
It's a beehive!
These two were just fumigating bees!
He looked up, intending to climb down the tree, when just then, a bee returning home discovered that the hive was gone.
Buzzing!
"Holy crap!"
"Don't fucking sting me!"
Jin Sanjia fled in panic, his head covered in welts. Luckily, these weren't hornets or killer bees, or things would have been much more complicated.
In his panic, he ran headlong toward Wild Boar Ridge, cursing as he ran. His lips were swollen from the stings, and his cheeks were swollen like steamed buns, glistening with oil.
Having finally escaped the bee stings, he plopped down on the ground, groaning in pain and muttering incoherent curses.
Suddenly, he noticed something different on the ground beside him. Upon closer inspection, a surge of joy welled up within him.
Is my luck finally about to turn?
The ground around me was covered with countless pig hoof prints; these must be wild boars from this mountain!
So this was Chang Kun's secret place, but now it belongs to me!
Once I've hunted down the wild boar, hehehe...
Jin Sanjia was already fantasizing about the villagers' worship after he hunted the wild boar, and about being able to eat pork for the New Year.
Ignoring the stings that had smeared his face, he hurried down the mountain. Now, all he needed to hunt the wild boar was a gun. If he could borrow one…
Whose house should we borrow a gun from?
